Ridiculous.

So GEJ took a picture of twenty boys holding bowls to then take another one after they were dressed in bedsheets and you call it progress?

GEJ's official fortune amounts to the fortune of leaders from the best developed countries in the world and we should thank him for dressing 20 boys in bedsheets?

Ridiculous.

Schools are his damn responsibility. Nothing special.

Actually primary education is supposed to be the responsibility of the states. The almajiri school was necessitated due to the failure at state level to provide education over a long period of time

I can't begrudge a warrior his casualties gained in a fair fight. My grouse against him is his role in the progrom BEFORE the war (1966)

femicyrus:
We can now see clearly how the presidency of GEJ have divided nigerians.
Igbos are everywhere in the north and SW
Hausa/fulani are everywhere in SS,SE and SW
Yorubas are everywhere in North, SS and SE.
We married each other, we leave together and even share a common goal without division. But now it is division by religion, economy, politics etc. All thanks to GEJ for transforming Nigeira!

Its not GEJ's fault. Blame the Junaid Mohammeds, Angos and Nyakos of this world. Ppl are falling in line with the trends of the times

Sorry bruv, this thread isn't about sanusi and he did or didn't do. You can't come up with an editorial opinion of somebody to justify anything. I can give you million and one editorials about the magical performances of sanusi while he was CBN governor. He had multiple national and international awards to proof that too.

I only brought sanusi into my post concerning the missing monies in the NNPC he wrote about and the position of the minister of finance. If you have an issue with sanusi create another thread for it.

Thanks

Sorry the buck stops at SLS feet. He was CBN goernor for 5 years and you think he should be let of the hook? The editorial you just brushed off was done montths ago and it correctly predicted the slide of the value of the naira due to the man's experiment.

He got international awards because he quashed an old policy set by previous CBN bosses that stipulated a 6 month minimum period for foreign investors and made T-Bills hotcake. All of this was to pad our depleted foreign reserves that had been used to "stabilise" the naira.

loopman:
Imports! While I may want to say amen to your prayers, the prognosis going forward is not exactly encouraging.

Nigeria is in for a rough ride and we have little or no external reserve to cushion us, it has almost been squandere by this govt on political patronage of different interests.

Nope this government didn't squander the foreign reserves? Ask SLS what happened to our reserves

Tribalism has been in existence since the british annexed various parts and tribes, came up with Nigeria and created a monolithic "North" to lord over the south. The North via its first modern king the sardauna of sokoto learned the tactic of divide and rule which has kept the south and middlebelt fragmented till date using tribalism and other factors.

Why it is so pronounced these days is because our politicians are intentionally poking at our fault-lines to alter perceptions and tribalise the polity ahead of the 2015 elections. Remember when disgraced ex governor Nyako went to america to give a silly speech about igbos?

As per nairaland the politicians have demented and desperate agents who will do anything for money. For instance Eko Ile, an A.C.N (now APC) supporter who years ago bandied the shameless propaganda that only igbos criticise fashola's lagos because they hate yorubas. Eventually it became obvious that the clown and his hungry cohorts were full of crap but the damage had been done.

pendy79:
You better buy it. Western Union rates has been increased too and I heard it gonna go higher next week.

We have a supposed Harvard Trained professor managing our economy but it seems the glaring stealing and corruption filled elements have overwhelmed her.

She told us out of the $20billion Emir Sanusi told us was unaccounted for, only $10.8billion is missing and she has selected Auditors to check what went amiss.

10months after her public utterances of auditors looking into the books of the NNPC, have you heard anything again? Does that speak well of her and the government she represents?

The minister of petroleum a close associate of the president hired a private jet for trips for a whooping N10billion in one year and when asked to come defend such senseless action that even PM david cameron dare not try, she ran to the president and the courts for protection.

investors are taking notes of all these proven cases of economic mismanagement and the worst of it is the falling oil prices and the sliding southwards of the Naira. Everyone is pulling out their investments in Nigeria cos of the risks.

Government actions of corruption loving is a threat to our economic survival.

The sooner people realize retaining the PDP beyond 2015 will be tantamount to Nigeria turning a somalia or Zimbabwe.

We need to all come together to rescue this nation.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is very quick to point out that one of his achievements in office is stabilizing the Naira. But is this really true?What do the facts say?
Data from the CBN website shows that from June 3, 2009, the date Sanusi Lamido Sanusi assumed office as CBN Governor to the date he left office, the CBN sold $117 billion (N18.8 trillion) in the interbank market in a bid to stabilize the Naira. All the money was sold in the twice a week auctions done by the CBN.

What Sanusi’s CBN sold is more than twice what Chukwuma Soludo in his years as the Governor of the Central Bank sold- $57 billion- to defend the Naira in his time as CBN governor.

Was Sanusi’s massive spending to defend the Naira successful? Once more, data from the Central Bank shows that Sanusi’s massive spend to defend the naira was not successful in the sense that the naira did not get stronger but actually weakened in his time at CBN. The exchange rate of the naira to the dollar in the week Sanusi became Governor of the CBN was N146.75 to the dollar. This was the rate the Central Bank was willing to sell naira to the banks. In the last week before Sanusi was suspended as CBN Governor, the Central Bank was selling the Naira at about N155.75 to the dollar, approximately N10 more expensive than it was sold when Sanusi became Governor.

Similarly, the pound sterling which the CBN sold at approximately N241 to the Naira when Sanusi became Governor had depreciated toN260.819 to the Naira as at when Sanusi was suspended as CBN Governor. This represents N20 more per every pound sterling than when Sanusi became Governor.

So despite a whopping $117 billion in five years to defend the Naira, twice more than what the previous Governor spent to defend the Naira, Sanusi actually left the Naira worse than he met it.

The impact of Sanusi’s massive spend of the external reserves to defend the naira was significant. In the five years of Sanusi as CBN Governor, Nigeria spent almost every dollar it earned to defend the naira and that was not even enough. Nigeria’s external reserves stood at $42 billion as at the close of 2009, the year Sanusi became CBN Governor. By the close of 2010, the first full year of Sanusi being at the helm of the CBN, it had deteriorated to $32 billion and remained that way until the end of 2011.

Realizing his mismanagement of the external reserves will soon plunge the country’s economy into a crisis Sanusi Lamido Sanusi opened the door to the inflow of very hot money in the name of portfolio investment, by removing a policy restriction that had been wisely put in place by previous CBN governors, which compelled foreign portfolio investors to keep their money in the country for a minimum of six months before taking it out of the country. Sanusi also raised interest rates on government instruments to an all-time high with interest rates on treasury bills going as high as 16 percent.

This double gift to foreign investors led to a massive inflow of foreign portfolio investors into Nigeria. In fact, CBN data shows that foreign portfolio investment in company stocks in Nigeria moved from just N323 billion as at the close of 2010 to N1.57 trillion as at the close of 2012 while foreign portfolio investment in government debt securities increased from N232 billion in 2010 to N1.12 trillion in 2012. The result was that total portfolio investment stood at N2.69 trillion or approximately $17 billion because of an extremely high interest rate offered by Sanusi on CBN instruments and government instruments as well as his policy allowing foreign investors to take out their money out of the country without any restriction.

Sanusi’s liberalization of the foreign exchange market helped cover his woeful record of managing the nation’s external reserves and resulted in an increase in external reserves to about $44 billion as at the close of 2012. This deceived many Nigerians and gave the impression that everything was okay.

Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investors were making huge profits from investing in Nigerian paper instruments while largely ignoring the real sector of Nigerian economy which would have led to creation of jobs for many of Nigeria’s unemployed.

They were rather happy to give us money to sustain a huge import bill and help Sanusi keep up the pretence that everything was okay.

The truth is that of the $44 billion external reserves as at the close of 2012, $17 billion was portfolio investment which meant what the country can really count on was just $27 billion. So without opening the doors to allow portfolio investors, Nigeria’s external reserves would have closed at $27 billion in 2012 instead of the $44 billion it closed at.

Sanusi effectively deceived Nigerians into thinking they were rich, when they were actually poor.

This gave Sanusi room to continue his reckless spending at the CBN, as revealed in the Financial Reporting Council report, while giving Nigerians a false sense of hope that everything was well with the economy which he was busy running aground. This deception continued till the day that Sanusi was suspended.

When Sanusi was suspended, the CBN put Nigeria’s external reserves position at about $41 billion without telling us the truth that about $15 billion represented foreign portfolio investment which means the effective external reserves position was about $26 billion.

Since Sanusi’s removal, there have been several sponsored reports linking the pressure the naira has come under to Sanusi’s suspension. But that is far from the truth.

Discerning investors have known for a long time that Nigeria was living on borrowed time and that it was just a matter of time before we run out of foreign reserves to defend the Naira due to the way it has been mismanaged in the last five years. Discerning investors have been gradually taking out their money from the Nigerian economy well before the tragic end of Sanusi.

Sanusi even knew the game was up. That is why he engaged in several panicky measures well before his exit from the CBN. Several of the panicky measures include the punitive action of asking banks to deposit 75% of public sector funds at the CBN at zero interest rate, the refusal to reduce MPR from q12% despite the fact that it is hurting the real sector of the economy, the return to Retail Dutch Auction System (RDAS), and the banning and unbanning of sales of foreign exchange to Bureau the Change Operators.

ven with all these panicky measures, the Naira remained under pressure and will remain under pressure because the damage has already been done. The Naira is going to depreciate sharply and sadly the next CBN Governor will be blamed. But the damage has already been done by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

datolee:
Oh dear oh dear.. must we go this low? Here is your headline news "Naira fluctuated, depreciated over Sanusi’s suspension" This happened as a result of Sanusi suspension. I said and I will repeat, Sanusi believed so much in defending the Naira with external reserve that within 1 month of his bowing out of office, the external reserve grew by over $1billion and excess crude also rose.

http://www.tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/12820-foreign-reserves-rises-by-1-4bn-in-1month

Here is extract from this link

While some financial experts attributed the increase in foreign reserves to the recent clampdown on BDC operators, the apex bank agrees that the increase was due to the drop in drawdowns in CBN’s programme of defending the local currency

What is your answer?

Don't waste your time trying to educate that boy. I recall a thread where he dribbled and lied his way through over 14 pages attempting to establish a "fact" of groundbreaking national importance with two unauthenticated blog articles.

He also tried for about 4 pages to convince himself that a commission of enquiry inaugural speech was just as good as the commission's final report which he couldn't produce.

Nobleval:
APC IS A PARTY BUILT ON LIES AND DECEPTIONS.

I've never seen such an opposition in my entire life.

The original Alliance for Democracy of 1999 was by far a more honourable and genuine opposition party than APC. If the core of AD's leadership had been able to remain untouched and unchanged, our politics and government would have been a lot better in this country

ISpiksDaTroof:
Either you're trying to play ostrich, or you're genuinely slow.

When Edvin Clark, Dokubo, Anenih and co were making divisive statements against the North what do you call that? When Doyin Okupe, Reno Omokri and co regularly---indirectly and directly---insult other parts of Nigeria and call them "Parasites", "supporter of APC", "Traitors", "Backstabbers", "Cowards" etc do you really think they don't have the acquiescence of the President to carry out all these ad hominem attacks? Has he ever condemned them?

Ok, then. All is fair in love and war.

Besides Asari dokubo (who isn't even part of the government) can u identify any member of this government who has called any part of the country names like APC chieftains like Nyako have done even outside the shores of this country.

Amaechi is one despicable guy and manifestation of the Late Sardauna of Sokoto's promise to prevent the south from achieving unity by knocking heads together. GEJ's faults and failures are numerous but tribalism me I no know.

If anyone has used tribalism plentifully it is amaechi. From his "are we biafrans" statement, insisting that ogonis MUST produce the next governor (in a so called democratic setting) to claiming that GEJ stole soku oil wells to favour bayelsa even though the decision was via the supreme court. Let us ask sef when did GEJ (who has a hausa vice president) ever say that hausa ppl hate ND?

I spit on this clown

Chai! Where is beaf? This politics section has declined steadily since he stopped posting

Saw this on a friend's wall on facebook:

1. Which party currently have the majority of members at the Federal House of Representatives?

2. Do we have any precedence in Nigeria or US where the Speaker of the house is from a minority party?

3. If a former Speaker joins the minority party has he automatically lost the speakership or not?

4. Does democracy make allowance for the minority to lead the majority?

5. Is it morally right or proper to voluntarily leave the majority party and still keep the benefit accruing from being a member of the majority party?

6. Define democracy, if you can.

7. Does the minority rule the majority in any democratic setting?

8. Will you accept a PDP member leading Lagos or Kano or Rivers house of assembly as Speaker?

I don't like his party but Fashola is the type of leader you have to admire. Smart, talks sense (not always though), well read, man utd fan, lawyer and organised as they come. I just wish he wasn't in APC. We really need to break the back of this two party nonsense! Imagine APGA or Labour controlled about 6 states and brought him out for President, he would be very hard to beat.

Don't know what he was doing at Timipre Sylva's birthday party to be honest, isn't that negro supposed to be on trial and out on bail or something? The only reason why fashola would attend must be party pressure or something

From Asari Dokubo's Facebook Wall

ROTIMI BOY AND HIS CERELAC TATA REASONING.

Kwame Nkrumah said, "Seek ye first the political kingdom and all others will be added unto you".

The Niger Delta which the European referred to as the White man's grave yard or Oil Rivers have a natural resentment to foreign incursion and dominance ..... So are the kingdoms and city states of this region (inter alia) New Calabar (Kalabari), Okoloba ( Bonny and Opobo), Nembe etc have been known for their resentment to foreign intrusion and interference in their internal affairs. Their various kings had running battles with the British invaders. Even today this region is the most volatile with the greatest proliferation of small arms and ammunitions. Further upstream, with what is now political Niger Delta, the Ogonis under their leader Ken Saro wiwa epitomized their resistance against the inhuman apartheid, wholesale stealing of their God given natural resources by the buccaneering Gambari and their collaborators, not forgetting the role played by Isaac Adaka Boro, myself and other patriotic Ijaws under the aegis of the INC and the IYC.

Yesterday, I wept when I heard Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi at the APC/7years Anniversary Rally where he reeled out projects purportedly built by the buccaneering Gambaris to service their economic appetite for Niger Delta resources. The simple question is, how many of these projects have ever been headed by the Ikwerres, Okolobas, Ogonis, Ekpeyes etc. how many Rivers people are gainfully employed or doing business with these establishments. Every now and then, there has been this ritual of Turn-Around Maintenance in these establishment, how many indigenous companies have been engaged in these Turn-Around Maintenance. The cabotage law and the local content law is not local content of the Dumo Briggs of Kalabari or of the Olaka Wogu of Eleme or of the Ala Hart of Bonny or of the G.U Ake of Egi....It has been cabotage and local content for Dangote of Kano, Femi Otedola and Wale Tinubu of Lagos. This is what our jolly fellow CERELAC Tata boy wants us to celebrate.

At the APC/anniversary rally, our cerelac boy Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi openly deficate on the grave of Saro wiwa and robbed the shit on the faces of those of us who are still alive with these profound statement glorifying the buccaneering Gambari and their collaborators in their economic occupation of our land...standing reasoning and morality on its head. Rotimi's statement means that Saro wiwa never fought for any thing or died for anything for all these projects were completed in Ogoni land and functioning at the time Ken Saro wiwa led the Ogonis under MOSOP in confronting the Gambaris and their collaborators in the human, environmental and economic genocide against them. Ogoni land was raped,ravaged and left desolate. Ken Saro wiwa and others paid the supreme prize for their affront in asking why the resources and industries on their land cannot benefit them and turn around their lives.

Rotimi Amaechi statement yesterday means that the Kaiama Declaration is a mere toilet paper so were the painful sacrifices of the people of Umuechem. We saw this from the very beginning when myself, Felix Tuodolo, Ann Brisbie and Isaac Osuaka (Sankara) confronted Alabo Graham Douglas that power should not be manipulated in favour of Odili as he does not understand or appreciate the painful struggle of our people. Alabo Graham Douglas, carried away by vain glory and self importance, his touted connection to the Gambari northern oligarchy and the military thinks that these are enough to put Odili under check and control forgetting that power intoxicate and absolute power intoxicate absolutely. Today,Alabo Graham Douglas and those who reason like him are in a better position to tell us their story, that is if they are alive.

What Amaechi did yesterday,is a conspiracy against those of us who are in the struggle to free ourselves from the stranglehold of the buccaneering Gambaris and their collaborators. Sitting at the head of this conspiracy is Dr Peter Odili who today is back to play a script that is not in the collective interest of our people or President Goodluck Jobathan. In 2007, Dr Peter Odili having prepared himself to take over the presidency of Nigeria in Abuja, decided to leave Rivers State in the hand of Ikwerre (Ibo) Amaechi in preferrence to Abiye Sekibo who is a top member of his kitchen cabinet / cabal. When Amaechi's nomination got a k-leg, he went to Ubima and brought Amaechi's cousin (Celestine Omehia) to straighten the k-leg. In the days leading to 2011 Election, Dr Peter Odili prompted Abiye Sekibo, Kenneth Kobani and others of his kitchen cabinet to decamp to the Action Congress of Nigeria. He himself did not decamp like his other counterpart like George Akume of Benue State. He was floating without a party. As the Rivers State leader of ACN before the coming of the Odili group, I kept asking Abiye Sekibo and Kenneth Kobani when will their leader Odili come to join us. Their reply was always, 'Very soon'. I also posed the same question to Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and Baba Akande, their answer was always' ' very soon'. I knew deep down in me that Odili had a sinister game plan and it showed in the primaries leading to nomination of candidates for 2011 election in Rivers State. Abiye Sekibo, Odili and the party leadership in Lagos and Abuja foisted Odili preferred candidates who can hardly win election in their units on the party. Just three days to the 2011 election Odili made the predictable summersault by declaring his support for the over dramatized estranged son Amaechi. All the the candidates Odili had nominated for the election deserted the party. It was a forgone conclusion. Some of us saw through the facade and the smokescreen. Odili had played with the head of Abiye Sekibo and people like Kenneth Kobani pursuing his agenda to exclude the patriot of the Niger Delta struggle who are mostly Ogonis and Ijaws. Today another drama is being played out by Odili, Amaechi and their cabal in fencing off those who are genuinely interested in furthering the aspiration of the Niger Delta people.

This script being played out is authored by Odili and Amaechi to foist on us another senior member of their cabal irrespective of party affiliation as governor of Rivers State. What all of us should ask is, what caused the new quarrel between Odili and Amaechi. Why has Odili suddenly severe relationship with his master, Gen Olusegun Obasanjo. What is this new honey moon between GoodLuck/wife and Odili? What does this new found romance portends for us. The answer is not far fetched. Odili and Amaechi are playing sinister games with our heads. The end does not portend well for us. Sixteen years of recklessness and impunity....billions and billions and billions of dollars without anything to show for it, No! I forgot, sorry, we have a mono rail.

What Amaechi did yesterday was not against Goodluck, it was against Ken Saro wiwa, myself and others who had risen against the buccaneering Gambaris and their collaborators in their unleashing locusts to feast on our land, to rub pepper to injury. Rabiu Kwankwanso, a Gambari buccaneer from Kano said we should remember the relationship between Rivers State and the Gambari north . What are the dividend of this relationship, a dead Saro wiwa and other comrades... economic destitution and environmental desolation. The plan of Odili and Amaechi is the continued perpetuation of this master/slave relationship. Rivers people, like Fafaa Dan Princewill's gingle stated in 1991, Rivers people, our mumu don too much. What Amaechi said yesterday, is like asking Nelson Mandela and his comrades, who built Pretoria, Johannesburg , Cape town, Port Elizabeth , the nuclear reactors and all progress South Africa has recorded in science,technology and industry.

egift:
Nigeria is a great Nation. We are good people. But it starts by voting out the Corrupt Administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

We don't have to start with Goodluck because he isn't even the main issue. How do you guarantee change when the opposition itself seems to be a mirror of the ruling party?

I'm old enough to remember how expectant we were in 1999 when we felt that if the military could just leave, democracy would make Nigeria paradise. We allowed a military imposed candidate (OBJ) and the rest is history. I don't believe in change for the hell of it

I understand Junaid's pain but he should leave politics out of it. One of the hottest supermarkets in Sokoto is owned by an Igbo man. Na Emefiele or Okonjo Iweala open shop for the shop owner?

Northern youths sef no dey try. They should call ignorant hate mongers like Junaid (who have done nothing for them) to order or at least dissociate themselves.

ISpiksDaTroof:
When your President, GEJ, was allocating $32,785.11/ day for his meals where were you? How about the $5m/year newspapers or the $3.8/year cutlery? What of when he insisted Nigeria fund his wife's dream "Visiting First Ladies' Lounge" for N4Billion?

If the head is rotten so will the rest of the body. Your corrupt President is the reason all these nonsense can take place.

Interesting. So you agree that Fayemi did spend N100M on a bed while ekiti workers were being owed salaries but feel he was justified to do that because of wasteful and unethical behaviour at the federal level? Is that proper?

Saw this opinion on facebook.

Fayemi and his N100million naira bed is a story worth telling at home, church, mosque, pub, in the bus and even in the grave.

The concluding part is that those that blamed and harassed and haunted and hounded Princess Stella Oduah Ogiemwonyi for buying armoured car have suddenly gone asleep over this satanic bed procured by Fayemi.

Where is Femi Falana, Wole Soyinka and all other pseudo human rights activists? Why double standard? How do you define profligacy, stealing and crime than that a Ekiti that could not pay salary of its workers can spend N100million on sleeping mattress, duvet, pillow and pillow cases for the governor and his wife.

Why should the governor and his wife sleep in separate rooms at State expenses. Now, we know why Ekiti people booted out Fayemi and his N100million bed.Procured

How much does his bathroom slippers, toothbrush and sponge cost? May be N15million. We are yet to add executive pyjamas and I'm sure even the gossy water Fayemi drink might have cost Ekiti State as much as N5000 per bottle.

Shame on our human right community who always go asleep each time APC rapes Nigeria. Shame on those APC members who masquerade as human right activists.

Where is Gani Fawehinmi?

barcanista:
Yes Sir, stop making it look like it is one big thing dude, it is not. The kudos should be given to the response Team of Lagos State Government that "informed" the Minister. The Minister did NOTHING other than giving briefs. Nothing Special really. Anyway, crisis response and crisis communication is one area of my field.

Thank you

So did Fashola personally check the spread of Ebola from ward to ward? Yet he is being praised for being in charge of the state where a great response to the outbreak was checked.

The foreign WHO consultant who was on ground within 24hrs of Patrick Sawyer's diagnosis doesn't work for LASG yet he was respnsible for personally coordinating the first isolation center. Abeg give honour where it is due.

barcanista:
What did he really do? Absolutely little. All he did was to address the Press and disseminate information, which anyone can do. His role was actually a fringe one as far as ebola is concerned

Do you have any idea what it takes to mobilize special medical response teams, formulate and implement something odd as "contact tracing" in a governmental bureaucracy. Effectively supervise the "contact tracing" model and gently disseminate information on a daily basis like he was doing? As minister the buck stops at his desk and the praise should also rub off on him too

Saw this on a friend's Facebook Wall -

Please does anyone know why former Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu, is not being publicly celebrated at Facebook and twitter by Nigerians?

Is the reason partisan or related to his tribe of origin?

The whole world is acknowledging Nigeria's wonderful achievement of defeating the Ebola monster but the man who prepared a novel response even before the disease hit our country is not being celebrated? Don't you guys know that our "contact tracing" script that is now being copied by America was written by Prof Chukwu's team as soon as Ebola became an issue in neighboring countries?

Yet if Ebola had defeated us all manner of people would have called for his sack and demonized him and the President.

Are we an ungrateful nation or an ethnically and ethically challenged one?

Anyway, Prof Onyebuchi, you have done well and you are my hero alongside President Jonathan and Governor Fashola.

No wonder despite Obj's craze he couldn't touch TBS. I thank God he didn't succeed in selling National Theatre too. 1004 estate still dey pain me

LMAO! This guy sef. I pray this is a hoax

Saw this on Facebook:

I write this post to the Yoruba-Muslims Youth, guided by the fact that the material circumstance of an individual determines his views on contemporary issues.

Most Yoruba-Muslims Youth are supporting Hausa/Fulani for President of Nigeria in 2015 essentially on the faith of Islam.

I have here three fundamental lessons of how the Hausa/Fulani Muslims have denied the Yoruba Muslims the Premiership of the Yoruba Western Region and the Presidency of Nigeria.

On August 20, 1964, Alhaji D.S. Adegbenro, a Yoruba-Muslim, and the Party Leader of the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA), a political party formed by the coalition of the Yoruba, Ibo and Middle-Belt people, won the majority of the Western Region House of Assembly election by 68 out of the 98 seats. He was thus the elected Premier of the Region.

However, Tafawa Balewa, a Gambari, and the then Prime Minister of Nigeria, sworn in Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola, a Yoruba-Christian as the Premier of the Western Region and arrested Alhaji D.S. Adegbenro. As a consequence of this, the Yoruba people, led by mostly Yoruba-Christians started the famous "operation wet e" and chased out Akintola from Yorubaland.

On June 12, 1993, following the long stay of the military in Nigerian politics, Alhaji M.K.O. Abiola, a Yoruba-Muslim, won the presidential election. Gambari Babangida annulled the election and imposed Ernest Shonekan, a Yoruba-Christian as President of Nigeria. Violent demonstration and unrest ensued and led by Yoruba-Christians. The nation was in a dilemma.

Shonekan administration only lives for two months as it was swept out of office by Gambari General Sani Abacha. Abacha incarcerated Alhaji M.K.O. Abiola indefinitely.

After the death of Abacha, Gambari Abdusalam Abubakar was selected as Head of State. Abdulsalam met with Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba-Christian. After the meeting, Gambari Abdulsalam Abubakar murdered Alhaji M.K.O. Abiola. Mr Obasanjo, a Yoruba-Christian was thereafter rigged as President of Nigeria.

Three times, the Gambari Muslims denied the Yoruba-Muslims the leadership of the Yoruba Western Region Premiership and the Presidency of Nigeria. If the Yoruba-Muslims Youth have any sense of history, they will not be supporting any Gambari for President in 2015.

Sam Nda Isaiah who is hailing the Nigeria of IBB, Buhari etc should ask those ppl why they neglected all the River Basin Authority projects all these years. Project that would have turned Nigeria to a worldwide agric powerhouse by now. GEJ is NOT my ideal presidential material but at the end of the day he isn't the issue. Its much bigger than him

Lip service and nice words about igbos aside, Jonathan has done NOTHING for us.
