its easy to blame military but tough to do their job.
go to Guantanamo bay Cuba and ask inmates their experiences
when terrorism happens shit happens period. sorry dude but the military guys are just doing their job nothing personal. Thank god they didnt kill you. a lot of innocent people like you get caught in cross fire and you cant blame anyone.
the military didnt pick you fom Imo state and carried you to Maiduguri, you were caught in war zone as a suspect and released after three years.
the period u were kept is too long but then how do you blame military when Boko came to release their brothers from Giwa Barracks. Support your military, its your country.

Am surprised no one has crucified me yet , the truth is bitter and difficult to accept, but then it should be told. I pray Nigerians get to the era where leaders would be voted based on character and not religious or cultural identity.

Still wondering how Obama became US president .

Are people reflection of their leaders?

Are leaders reflection of the people they govern?

Which is applicable in Nigeria.

People are just making noise about Mr President because they have not benefitted directly from his administration. Nigerians are greedy and gullible and once you are settled them you will say Mr President carry go. Mr president will win 2015 by a wide margin for the following reasons.

A. People benefiting directly or indirectly will influence votes, these category of people are the richest in Nigeria (ministers ,heads of security agencies, heads of directorates, top executives of organisations , buisness moguls like dangote, adenuga,otedola etc.

B. Christians that are sympathetic to Jonathan and would rather have a Jonathan where church Buisnsess thrives than a Buhari that no one can predict.

C. People of south south will vote him because of the na our brother syndrome

D. Elite Northerners that have stolen money and afraid of Buhari will secretly influence votes towards Mr President .

E. Foreign investors benefiting from the laxity in Nigerian tax system will do anything for Jonathan to remain.

F. Islamophiobia Nigerians would rather have a Jonathan they know than a Buhari who might turn Nigeria to Afghanistan or Iraq

G. Some Nigerians who also think this government has done well will vote Jonathan.

H. Anti North Nigerians who will vote Jonathan to tell the North that they don't have monopoly of power , the likes of Dokubo etc.

I. Oil bloc owners and subsidy beneficiaries will do anything to keep the present administration.

If this analysis is right or biased , let's hear your comments.

Politics / We Have Private Jets, We Are Not A Poor Country by NNEKA2015: 5:18pm On Oct 19, 2014
President Goodluck Jonathan chose to exhibit what could seem to be poor knowledge of key socio-economic indicators that are at the heart of the well-being of the ordinary citizens. In his address, he reacted to the various reports that had categorised Nigeria as a poor country. He debunked verifiable economic and development reports from reputable local and international institutions like the World Bank that had ranked Nigeria as a poor country where a majority of the population are currently living on a dollar per day. Instead of assuring Nigerian workers on the measures his administration had taken to address growing poverty afflicting Nigerians, Jonathan shocked the entire nation with his treatise on why he thought the country was not poor. It was unbelievable coming from a president.

In the President’s estimation, Nigeria is a rich nation of prosperous citizens and condemned reports about the country’s poverty status. According to him, Nigeria is not a poor country because we are among the top 10 countries of private jet owners in the world! He also said that the listing of the business mogul, Aliko Dangote, as one of the 25 richest persons in the world is a testimony to why he thought that Nigeria was a rich nation. According to the President, Nigerians were the most travelled people on earth; the nation’s Gross Domestic Product is over half a trillion dollars; the economy was growing at almost seven per cent and that Nigerians did not appreciate gifts of small amount of money. The above parameters in the President’s estimation make Nigeria a rich country.

Politics / Is Buhari's Impecable Record True? by NNEKA2015: 7:50pm On Oct 15, 2014
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Muhammadu Buhari, and today I am 69 years old; and I am sure I don’t have to remind you that I have fought many battles in my life.

I have fought drift and purposelessness in this nation. I have fought corruption and indiscipline. I have fought indolence and the betrayal of trusts. I have fought the Nigerian civil war and struggled for the unity of this country in many other ways.

I have had the fortune and privilege of managing national resources in various capacities—as a military commander, as a state governor, as a minister, as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, and as the head of state of this great country.

And in all that I have been and done, I have never touched a kobo of public funds. I say this without pride and with all sense of responsibility and humility;

but I challenge anyone in the race for the leadership of this country then or now to dare make the same claim."

I FEAR YOU OH?
Politics / Bakare Wants FG To Apologise To Boko Haram Over Killing Of Leader by NNEKA2015: 7:16pm On Oct 15, 2014
[b][/b]




By Dapo Akinrefon

Lagos—CONVENER of the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said one of the ways to end Boko Haram insurgency is for the Federal Government to apologise to members of the sect over the murder of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, in 2009.

He, however, said last Wednesday’s attack on former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari’s convoy in Kaduna State is an indication that bombing in the country is taking a new dimension.
Bakare, who is the Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, spoke during a state of the nation address at a church service in Lagos.

Proffering ways of ending the Boko Haram insurgency, Bakare said there was need for “updating and strengthening of military capability, creation of jobs and enhanced welfare to discourage recruits of the sect, diplomatic engagement with the international community, creation of an atmosphere of political inclusion rather than exclusion, among others. We need a strong and well coordinated approach to terrorism.”

Bakare, who was Buhari’s Vice-Presidential running mate in the 2011 presidential elections, said “but for the timely intervention of God, last week’s assassination attempt on General Muhamadu Buhari might have marked the beginning of the end for Nigeria if it had succeeded. We will not also ignore the fact that at the root of the escalation of the Boko Haram crisis was oppression and injustice.

”The summary execution of the Boko Haram’s former leader, Mohammed Yusuf in 2009 provided the soil of martyrdom for the nurture and growth of the sect. Government must declare peace first of all; apologising for the murder of Mohammed Yusuf to the sect members not their sympathisers or bandits.”

They have done a lot, some have been beheaded, some have been killed with machetes, a lot were killed with bullets from Boko Haram, yet Mr President says Nigerians should appreciate the "little they have done." i don not think it is a wise way to say thank you Mr President.

Politics / Nigerians Are Not CORRUPT by NNEKA2015: 3:25pm On Oct 15, 2014
If you have been wondering why the government of Goodluck Jonathan has achieved precious little in the monumental fight against corruption in Nigeria, the answer is very simple. There is actually no corruption in Nigeria. Nigerian politicians are thieves, but they are not corrupt.
This is the erudite position of our dear president, who happens to be the first president in the history of Nigeria to have the distinction of a Ph.D. President Jonathan says: ”What many Nigerians refer to as corruption is actually stealing. Stealing is not the same thing as corruption.”
This is a profound statement that has since become the subject of many doctoral dissertations on Nigeria. It has also provided a very Nigerian contribution to the English language.


Nigerian “doublethink”

Our president is not alone in this assessment. The Chairman of the ICPC (Independent Corrupt Practices Commission), Ekpo Nta, agrees with Mr. President. He also insists it is wrong to confuse stealing with corruption. The distinguished chairman says: “Stealing is erroneously reported as corruption. We must go back to what we were taught at school to show that there are educated people in Nigeria.” He then likened the Nigerian penchant to regard theft as corruption to be as erroneous as calling a roadside mechanic an engineer.
This perspective has brought great relief to Nigerians. We always thought there was too much corruption in the country, so it is fantastic to learn that there is no corruption at all. We are just thieves. It is necessary to bring this new insight to the attention of Transparency International, which persists in listing Nigeria as one of the most corrupt countries. We need to tell the world that we have “re-based” the corruption index in Nigeria and found it to be totally non-existent.

The only problem here for Ekpo Nta is that we might have to scrap his organisation. If there is no corruption in Nigeria, there is no point having an Independent Corrupt Practices Commission.
Since Mr. President educated us that corruption is different from stealing, other eminent Nigerians have also found it necessary to make similar Orwellian clarifications towards the obfuscation of the truth. Here are some examples of this peculiarly Nigerian “doublethink.”
“PDP governors are thieves but APC governors are corrupt.”
Murtala Nyako was not impeached as governor of Adamawa State during the many years he was in the PDP. He was only impeached after he decamped to the APC. This shows a critical difference between the PDP and the APC. While PDP governors are thieves, they are not corrupt. However, APC governors are not thieves, but they are steeped in corruption. Stealing is accepted as our national pastime in Nigeria, but corruption will not be tolerated by the Jonathan Administration. PDP governors pocket government money, but they are not corrupt because they make sure it is shared with their colleagues in the legislature.
However, when PDP governors decamp to the APC, they become corrupt. They become selfish and do not allow stolen money to go round. This breeds corruption. This explains why the government does not have any problem with them while they are still in the PDP. In the PDP, it is understood that politicians steal for the good of the public. But in the APC, politicians steal for the good of their families and their party. This is unacceptable. Therefore, any PDP governor that decamps to the APC must be impeached.
Rabiu Kwankwaso was a very good and upright public-servant as PDP Governor of Kano. But after he switched to the APC, he became negatively transformed. Accordingly, President Jonathan was quick to inform Nigerians that the governor corruptly enriched himself with public funds. This is what happens when politicians move from the PDP to the APC. They become corrupt and are then handed over to the EFCC. But if they are smart and quickly return to the PDP, their EFCC file is promptly closed.
“Stealing public funds is a sign of progressive politics.”
APC is a progressive party. Therefore, when APC governors steal public funds; this must be seen in the context of progressive politics. APC governors steal money for the sake of building physical infrastructures; while PDP governors steal money for the sake of “stomach infrastructures.” It is well-understood in Nigeria that building physical infrastructures is definitely more progressive than PDP’s “amala politics.”
Many of the roads, schools and other dividends of democracy evident in APC states were done with stolen money. The progressive element in this process is that money stolen from one state is sometimes transferred to another state in the interest of the redistribution of resources. Moreover, a lot of the stolen money is used to build party structures and to fight elections. This is progressive because if it is not done, Nigeria might end up as a one-party state, and no right-thinking person who is concerned about the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria would like that to happen.
Bearing this in mind, it then becomes clear that, although Murtala Nyako was impeached as Governor of Adamawa State on the grounds that he corruptly enriched himself with government funds, this does not in any way diminish his APC credentials. Nyako belongs to the new breed of APC progressives who engage in the in the redistribution of the resources in their states. This offended the PDP who don’t have the interests of the people at heart.
“Democracy does not entail voting in elections.”
Nigerians should be made to understand that the fact that we have a democratic system does not mean the people should be allowed to vote. Because the generality of Nigerians are considered by our intelligent politicians to be stupid and foolish, they cannot be expected to vote for the right candidates. That means we need to rely on enlightened godfathers to “select democratically” our public officials for us. We also need to ensure that while people may be allowed to cast their votes in elections, their votes must not be allowed to count.
For there to be true and effective democracy, elections must be judiciously rigged. Otherwise, we might end up with the kind of thing that happened recently in Ekiti where, with soldiers and policemen protecting the right of the people to vote, they voted out the erudite governor, Kayode Fayemi, and voted in Ayo Fayose. This kind of aberration needs to be discouraged in true democracies.
A PDP Senator confessed that on Election Day, the electoral officials in his constituency were surprised to see his mother at the polls. “Mama, what are you doing here?” they berated her. “Don’t you know that you have already voted?”
Two local chiefs then complained to the Senator afterwards that they were not allowed to vote for him. When he made enquiries as to why this was so, the electoral official involved was irritated. “Honorable Senator,” he declared, “you won the election by a landslide in this constituency, so what are they complaining about?”
“That is not the issue,” protested the Senator, “they want to be able to vote for me themselves.” But the electoral officer refused to be persuaded. “Then Senator, they must be traitors,” he declared. “If they are still complaining, even though you won the election, it means they were not planning to vote for you. We cannot allow that to happen.”
“Belonging to the APC does not mean you are not a member of the PDP.”
There are many PDP men in APC clothing and many APC men in PDP agbada. One such example is His Royal Highness, the Turaki of Adamawa. The Turaki was in the PDP, and then he was not. Then he was in the PDP again and now he is not. The Turaki is something of an invisible man: now you see him in the APC, then you see him in the PDP.
Although he is currently masquerading as an APC member, there is no doubt that HRH reserves the right to resurrect any time in the future as a member of the PDP again. In the same way that some people have dual nationality, so also the Turaki has more than dual party memberships. His right to this is guaranteed under the Freedom of Association clause in the Nigerian Constitution.
This insurance policy is necessary given his nationalist presidential ambitions. If he is not chosen as APC presidential candidate later this year, and if APC loses the 2015 presidential election, the Turaki can be expected to throw away his APC membership card and become a staunch PDP man once again. Nigerian political parties don’t bear grudges. They accept prodigal sons back home, even those as compulsively prodigal as the Turaki.
Is Aminu Tambuwal, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, a PDP man or an APC man? Nobody seems to know. It is even possible that the Speaker himself might not be able to answer the question with any degree of certainty. Currently, Tambuwal sits on the PDP side of the aisle. He occupies a position reserved for the majority PDP party. However, to all intents and purposes, he is also an APC man.
“Having a doctorate does not mean you are educated.”
There are now so many doctors in Nigeria. Many of these are doctors of ignorance. Time was when having a doctorate signified you have attained the height of academic excellence. Not any more in Nigeria. Doctorates are now bought and sold in flea-markets. Just give a few million stolen naira to any of the “jekuredi” universities and they will readily award you a Doctor of Philosophy in a field of your choosing.
If you don’t have stolen money to throw around; don’t let that deter you. Just award the degree to yourself. How do you think the late Sikiru Ayinde Barrister obtained his doctorate?
Ekiti state is said to have the largest concentration of doctorates in the country. But you can tell that this does not mean they are educated because they voted for Fayose instead of Fayemi. That should tell you how uneducated they really are.
