APC oooooo that is why you people were voted in. You dont need to tell us the obvious! You should be telling us how you intend to solve the problem, not crying more than the berieved masses.

If you think all these excuses will be used to cover our eyes to your unpreparedness, una dey lie ooo! You better sit up and start acting as d ruling party and not as opposition.

Although sha GEJ suppose to do something about these problems na. Anyway, maybe he believes ppl re trying to label his govt as bad or dey are trying to arm-twist him. In anycase, I want a better Nigeria.

jumobi1:
You conceeded because you lost. Not conceeded will be a bad thing to do. No cookie for doing the expected. The masses voted you out.

Its unfortunate how our brains work in Nigeria. If GEJ had not conceeded defeat the way he did, Nigeria would be on fire by now! Dont forget GEJ has millions of supporters also, plus the power of incubency, the military e.t.c. If he felt so strongly displeased, he could hv influenced the tribunal to his favour, even b4 swearing-in. He also had the option of interim govt if he was sooooo desperate.
In any case, the country would hv boiled. GMB never believes he loses election. Recall how the North started boiling immediately GMB lost in 2011. He would hv done worse now dat he has d support of d west.
Pls, lets give honour to whom it is due. GEJ saved Nigeria! The wishes & prophesies of d international community was twarted by the simple Noble act of Jonathan. Lets commend him for that.

ABUJA – Signs that ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo subtly amassed support for the election of General Mohammadu Buhari as the Nigeria’s next president and also wants him to succeed in office became evident Thusday when he handed over a report of a strategic development plan to Buhari.

The reports contained templates that would assist the incoming government to rapidly achieve its objectives of taking the nation a notch higher.

Top on the list were Education, Power sector, Economy, Security and Infrastructure.
The development followed a research work embarked upon by the Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library on major social challenges facing Nigeria 4 months ago.

The event which took place at the Buhari Support Organization, BSO’s office in Abuja featured the chairman, governing board of the Centre for Human Security of Obasanjo Presidential Library, Professor Akin Mabogunje, who was incidentally the chairman of the committee, former Minister of Finance and Committees vice chairman, Dr. Kalu Idika Kalu who present volumes of the report to Buhari and Dr. Christopher Kolade who headed the power committee.

Speaking to Journalists at the end of the brief ceremony that was held behind closed doors, Mabogunje said the report contained policy documents that would help the president-elect restructure Nigeria, revealing that Buhari was full of thanks for the documents


He said: “Centre for Human Security of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Liberary has being working on a number of critical issues for the development of this country and they have now sent a delegation of those who’ve been involved with the preparation of those policy documents to talk to the president-elect and get him to appreciate what is being done to help his administration. That’s why we are here.

“We’ve looked  at education, security, economy, power and Infrastructure. Those are the areas we’ve made recommendations and which we hope the new administration will be able to work on.
“He (Buhari) was very happy that we’ve been thinking about how to help him hit the ground running and he expressed his appreciation for what we’ve been doing.”

Giving details of the reports, Dr. Kolade explained the long, medium and short terms goals of the report.

According to him, the strategic plan hoped to raise the country’s power generation to 10,000 MW within a short period of time.

Expanding thoughts on the development also, the Buhari’s media spokesperson, Mallam Garba Shehu said “the whole idea was that Obasanjo set up his own think- tank with the aim of carrying out a study on challenges facing the country in five key areas of Education, Power sector, Economy, Security and Infrastructure.  The study was commissioned four months ago so that the outcome will be made available to the incoming administration after the election.”

He also stated that the president-elect expressed gratitude to Obasanjo for their kind gesture, however regretting that the outgoing regime of president Goodluck Jonathan had not done anything close to that.

“An appreciative President-elect expressed gratitude to Obasanjo and his team, describing their intervention as a great impetus for the incoming government.

Buhari regretted that the out-going government that is supposed to give him tips on how to take-off has done nothing so far.  He thanked the Obasanjo for their gesture, assuring them that his incoming administration will be needing their advice as time goes on”, Shehu said.

Mallam Ahmed Joda, chairman of Buhari transition committee refused to speak in his capacity as the transition committee chairman when asked by Journalists to make input.

“I am here not in the capacity of the chairman of the transition committee. I am here because I am a chairman of one of the committees of the centre that consider security issues at the Obasanjo centre for human security”, he said.

Obasanjo is trying to 'navigate' his way into the incoming Buhari's administration. The bolded area shows that they are presenting themselves as potential ministers perhaps in the ministries of Power, Finance, Defense, Education and Works. Chai! Obasanjo get sence sha!

Obasanjo is trying to 'navigate' his way into the incoming Buhari's administration.

I hear!

So this made front page as expected! Hurrah!!!

I am tempted to shout:
FTC !!!!!!!

This is my FTC hiting front page. I thank the whole wide world.

Since its my first FTC, then let it be my first time to say:
Sai Buhari! Sai Osibanjo!

I hear!

I hear!

In any case, Nigeria wins! I love the high international attention!!!

But wait oooo...


GMB and APC should not be carried away by this sudden American attention oooo. Anywhere America goes, they usually take trouble along with them. Abi dem done see how to milk Nigeria? Or seperate us? Perhaps dey want to convince us to accept shale gas? Or to let them set up military unit in Nigeria?

I smell a fish!

GODDYGEE91:
Baba has been setting difficult n practically impossible goals 4 himself.

Nigerians are wise now oo, u can't deceive us 2 vote 4 u and later deviate frm ur promises.
We want 2 witness the change starting frm May 29.

Take heart. We have been deceived already. Have you not been hearing GMB's tactical denials and excuses? All those campaign promises were made to win elections. Now that they have power, lets hope God touches their heart to lead right.

ALL the supporters of GMB should learn to be tolerant. This is democracy! Why the furious attack on Dokpesi and AIT? If the documentary is said to be factual, then give us a counter and superior evidence to the contrary. Nigerians must learn to play politics of tolerance. As it is done in advanced countries, when you vie for public office, your past records and dirty secrets will be revealed. No need to be angry, defend yourself or maneuver yourself.

Goodluck Nigeria.

ikkkkk:
If I were the General, I won't go for the meeting.
I don't trust these G7 countries.
My mind tells me they want to give him conditions of service.

True. And possibly muscle him to sign some agreements with them, else they will threathen him that he will not be sworn in on May 29th. Why else do you think the G7 was fixed for May 8? They need a good bargaining power over GMB. If they really wanted Nigeria's new President to attend, why was the meeting not fixed for a date after swearing-in?

God help Nigeria.

Its good to know the world recognises Nigeria. However, this was how it started wit GEJ, but wen he refused their wicked requests they all ran away; wishing GEJ out of the way and installing a puppet - hungry for power - who will do their bidding. I hope GMB will not be carried away by this sudden attention? Its a smoke screen!

May God grant our President-elect wisdom.

I believe there will be a 'change' in the stealing pattern. To say there will be no stealing at all, is to be daydreaming. With the likes of Tinubu and OBJ -APC's navigator - there will be silent but massive looting by few, while there will be alot of jamboree, selective justice and media prosecutions, simply to give the impression of fighting corruption while their dirty deals go unnoticed.
May God help Nigeria!

Women why una dey do us lik dis na? Dairis God oooo

I hear!

Nigeria must know that Putin speaks from both sides of his mouth. He can hardly be trusted. However, we must have a foreign policy in mind and know exactly what our interests are while embarking on a wise but critically cunny, dicey, and dangerous relationship with Russia.

Good move anyway. Let the game begin!

chamboy:
pls sir, can u tell me the year at which Nigeria would Attain d level of their so called potential

Nigeria's potentials will be fully achieved when we start holding our leaders accountable, vote-out the non-performing once, and vote-in competent patriotic people. Thats when!

I see...

In short, US is doing these because they still felt hurt about how Nigeria was not transparent with them when they imported expertise and services to Nigeria. It dents a great blow on their reputation that the almighty US Can't locate and rescue kidnapped girls in the forest.
TOO BAAAAD!!!

USA, and indeed the western world, is afraid of Nigeria's potentials. Their ONLY interest now is to see Nigeria split to pieces in 2015 so that we will no longer be a threat to them.
Besides, is there any country USA entered to fight a war and left the country in one piece? Ask Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya etc. Thanks to Nigerian govt for not allowing the USA to come into the country to effect their prediction of 2015 split of Nigeria.

ukachi bright: helo pals am new here pls a rund of aplus for me

Who bring you come?

Why are you people surprised? Is it not happening across the country?
Until Nigerians decide to refuse to be cheaply bought over by politicians and VOTE by their conscience, this may go unabated!
God help Nigeria!

since_1914:

Which unfortunate country do they want to send him to? It baffles me how irrationally, politicians reason. You say somebody isn't fit to be your party chairman, yet you want to foist him on the rest of the country as an Ambassador to (mis)represent over 160 million of us abroad. If they are so keen on giving a soft landing, then might as well give him their wives or even their daughters to soft-land on.

How about AFGHANISTAN or IRAQ! Wont his 'fighting' skills be useful there?

Congratz everyone! I am proud to know dat people are begining to come out and understand the issues. We from the Civil Societies (NGO) we hv dis challenge of convincing ppl to go for testing.
