sarutobie:
calm down and re-read your post...ask yourself if it makes sense, ask yourself if there is logic in what you posted there.

Buhari supporters sometimes say things that makes no sense

The wise will vote Goodluck

Scholes007:
the way people make GMB president online is
alarming...i jst hope there will be no problem if he
loses cause most of the people that is making
him president online always insults you when you
bring up objective argument that they feel
threaten their master or they cannot defend. This
can easily be translated to how radical these
fellows may be in real life.
My problem is not what people say abt GEJ or whether buhari will win but "what will happen if buhari loss"

I have said this before

@jingh

Answer this question about Buhari and take your focus off Goodluck

Buhari ran for president 3 times

The first time he ran many people died
The second time many people are killed

If he truly cared about Nigerian lives should he have run the third time?
He ran for president the third time and many people are killed in post election violence
It further spiralled into Boko Haram
At that point he should have taking a break and work on reconciliation of the people
but NO, he is indifferent

He is running for president the forth time
If he does not win the forth time,
How many people will __________?

Will there be a 5th time because his personal ambition seems unstoppable and indifferent to its consequences?

If only Nigeria can be split such that
The North gets their leader - Buhari
The south West gets their leader - Tinubu

And the South East gets their Goodluck and team like Okonjo Iweala and Maduekwe and sit on their oil
There will be no need to fight anymore

I have noticed a common trait of those that follow Buhari

They follow blindly and always do not engage with diplomatic dialogue or reason but will simply just attack GEJ followers like it is personal

blame Tinubu for leading the Yoruba's astray

One of Goodluck's promise to Nigeria is a free and fair election.

Though i don't understand Hausa
but
According to this viral video on Youtube Buhari incited post election violence
Amaechi too has been recorded saying similar things
Is this video not enough reason for the police to get involved in a way like banning Buhari's nomination and hence APC altogether from the presidential race based on the post election violence that happened in the north from the previous election?

WFT -They carry brooms like weapons, like illiterates...

Imagine Obama and Cameron Carrying brooms and hoovers....


This is not the change Nigeria want.

Map of Nigeria

He will win

Oyo
Ekiti
Cross River
Rivers
Ogun

The better option for Nigeria in this election is Jonathan
Who can guess what states he will win?


I predict he will win

Lagos (APC's home)

The people that follow Buhari are wishful thinkers

Of course he might get there and do a great job but it is better to go with someone that is already there and making a steady progress.
The main problem of Nigeria as it is Security in the North and Corruption
I will fault Jonathans handling of the security challenges but not blame him for it
With regards to corruption it is the many corrupt Nigerians that need to change there ways

Who wants to bet?
If Buhari should win and implement all his strict ideologies...
Nigeria will collapse like the way Sanusi made a booming bank industry to close down banks and lose workers with his ITK(I too know) mentality.

The current oil price fall is likely an indirect way of the US to destroy Russia's economy..
The US was buying oil that they did not need all along...
They were likely just paying countries by buying oil for things to carry on normal and making the dollar relevant...

The oil price fall is great for us the masses.. the price of fuel will fall and goods will be cheaper... meanwhile Russia's currency as halved in a few days

When those in the know do something and want to get away with it they blame it on far away North Korea
Recently sony was hacked and all kinds of damaging private messages of the co chairman was made public
Quickly the media started blaming it on North Korea Hackers

When American dollars are printed and circulated, instead of calling it a government intervention, they blame it on North Korea printing super dollars

What on earth does any hacker in North Korea want to do with Sony that they will be hacking the company.
This hacks are more likely from powerful hackers in the states.. maybe even US government agencies

Its like Nigeria is in bondage whichever way you look...
Both political parties are birds of the same feather.. the aggrieved on the other side of the pond.
There is no breath of fresh air kind of political party with a strong chance

Imagine this international news bulletin

Nigeria has a new president
A military man who overthrew an elected goverment some 31 years ago and has been in Nigerian politics since 1976 is in 2014 the new president of Nigeria ......

It is pure shame.

btw Goodluck is not a better alternative


When you hear people singing praise of Buhari or Jonathan when there are so many great Nigerians worldwide, you tend to resign to the fact that Nigerians deserve what they get.

ENCOURAGE FASHOLA AND DUKE TO RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY

Everyone knows Fashola will do better if given the opportunity than a lot of the people parading themselves including Goodluck sef

Bring out Fashola

Nigeria has a population of 170 million acording to stats
The US has stopped buying oil from Nigeria completely and the country could get in big trouble.
But the easy solution is for Nigeria to start using its own oil for its own growth.

Two Steps to achieve this.

1. Create refineries( give licence to as many private companies as possible to create refineries)
2. Sell the oil to Nigerians

Nigerians are very enterprising

What oil can be used for

Fueling Car - 90 million cars in Nigeria
Generators - 80 million generators in Nigeria
Manufacturing - Ajaokuta steel plants etc

Cut out the middle man that buys the oil and process it and sell it back to Nigeria.
2.5million barrels per day is a catalyst to grow the economy of Nigeria, not to sell and make a few dozen men mega rich with money they will never need.

A n ba omode sere ale suya suyaya

The best people are far from politics in Nigeria.
They dont want to be climbing gates.

Will you vote for them?

[size=15pt]Film fund: FG doles out N215.5m to filmmakers[/size]

TWENTY six filmmakers, who applied for the film intervention fund grant made available by President Goodluck Jonathan under the Project ACT Nollywood, knew their fate Tuesday, as they were called to Abuja for the presentation of the grants.
Although sources say the monies will take two weeks to clear, the filmmakers got between N15million and N2million, depending on the magnitude of the film project they proposed.
Disbursed by the Ministry of Finance, managers of the fund, Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, noted that the Federal Government was committed to using the creative arts industry as vehicle to boost the nation’s economy.
“President Goodluck Jonathan is very much aware of the contribution of creative industry to the economic development of the country and I think several states have also tried to attract the industry.
“From what I understand, issues of intellectual property, quality and so on, are paramount and that is why the president thought that he would put this initiative together to support the industry.
“He had always believed in the power of the creative industries to try and help transform the country.
“This is through the employment that the industry will create for our young people, particularly those that have left the university,” she said.
According to Okonjo-Iweala, the N215.5 million that was being disbursed was part of the N700million earmarked for the film producing segment of the fund, and the 26 filmmakers are the first batch of beneficiaries.
She said that the industry had so far created no fewer than 200,000 direct and one million indirect jobs worth 250 million dollars, but added that, “One of the problems we have with you is that we often have a little more of a contentious approach within the industry.”
The Project Director, Project ACT Nollywood, Dr Supo Olusi, explained that the amount was being disbursed as grants to industry operators who met the benchmark for accessing the money.
“There is a provision in their MoUs that they must produce movies from the grant within three months after the due date in the MoU to ensure that they deliver,” he said.
Notable filmmakers whose production companies applied for the fund and who were seen at the event included, Kunle Afolayan, Desmond Elliot, Akin Konhi, Emeka Ossai, Greg Odutayo and producer of Living in Bondage, Keneth Nnebue.

Gboliwe:
This is the gross donation abi? You didn't deduct the charges. Thank you all the same

With more exposure more people outside of Nigeria with easy access to Paypal can donate using crowd funding.
Sending money to a direct email is not the best and paypal can block or freeze the account.

It is very common that paypal freeze paypal accounts receiving donations because of the source of certain funds.

below is a sample of $10 donation.

$0.10 goes to LetsFundYou and that goes straight to Paypal fees.

http://letsfundyou.com/project.php?id=490

Can TEHN organise into a full charity and use excess to help others in need

http://letsfundyou.com/project.php?id=490

Update from LetsfundYou.com

S. Okoye - $10
Ayo - $15
Vic - $15


Total raised $35

pickabeau1:
As much as possible we need no transfer charges

If its not possible we will just use the PayPal email addy

1%, 5% all adds up..

We don't want that

This is not what you want or anyone wants
Gofundme and all similar sites for crowd funding have this same API
It is impossible to set a paypal API to zero amount. It will return as error

This is the most transparent way of fundraising because everyone can see payment going through hence accountability just like you are asking about the fees.

jaybee3:
No it's not.
The 5% charge is clearly stated on your website.

All payments received to date apart from yours incurred no additional charges

The setting has been changed for this.
Because this is a crowdfunding site paypal has to use an API to split payment going to the fundraiser and the website API.
The site API(application id) was set at 5 percent but i have overridden the setting for this to the minimum of 1 percent which goes to Paypal.

jaybee3:
Why is their a 5% charge for each donation going through the e-payment channel you created?
The $10 you donated has been converted to $8.88 after the charges were taken into account

We are not comfortable with this arrangement Sir

@pickabeau1

It is paypal that takes transaction fees
All donations is going straight to TEHN

pickabeau1:
Modify your post n remove the name

We have a donation of10 dollars already

NSNA...well done
