WTF!!!

Sealeddeal:
Ben Bruce is making quite a commonsense.
Nigeria government has recovered more than 3trillion naira according to Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed.
Nigeria Federal legislators allowance and that of others in executive amount to more than 200billion in a year.
Why is our president who came to power on the mantra of change doing the same thing that old regime did?
President Buhari should use the pressure of the moment to force changes in the manner of remuneration accruable to government officials not least the National Assembly.
President Buhari should reduce his feeding allowance and sell off the private jets and use chartered plane to cut cost while deploying the rest of the money to infrastructural reinvigoration.
President Buhari should negotiate with Niger Delta militant,give them back the contract of pipeline protection while putting in motion the constitutional changes that will bring True federalism so that genuine peace will reign for development to thrive.
For the next three years that the projects will last ,Just add up the 3trillion recovered fund + excess presidential feeding allowance + excesses in allowance of law makers and other top officials +fund from sale of useless presidential private jets + free money from oil. it will be more than $50billion. why is President Buhari and Kemi Adeosun planning to further chain Nigerian youth? Why is President Buhari accepting official corruptions?
Buhari surely has no idea of government. He has never done anything different from what it used to be. There is no change in this government, it is all about scam and change.

Abeg how did you come up with these abracadabra figures?

Nonsense

Story, story, story.

Bros, it's not by grammar but you can continue blowing it sha.

When simple English starts looking and sounding like big grammar to someone who I'm sure is highly enlightened, then I just know the person has resorted to wayo for lack of what to say. Enjoy the lovely day

Keballl:
I reside in Nigeria, so I can confidently discuss the affairs of Nigeria than zombies tucked faraway in UK who don't feel the pinch of these worthless administration.

In this current dispensation, even bloggers like Abudisigu who were rabid critics of the previous admin have been arrested, talkless of the countless ones that have occurred recently.

In this current dispensation, we have heard DSS manning airports to arrest critics of the admin by scrutinizing their social media post. Something unheard off.

The journalist in the referenced articles were immediately released without further ado in courts or PRISON. The former NSA held a parley with them to apologize in behalf of the govt and iron out differences. That is how leadership works.

Now compare and contrast that with this admin who set off their dogs as soon as you critic them. With DanFulani your latest victim over a sin less grievous than his accusers.



http://dailypost.ng/2016/10/26/former-kaduna-state-university-lecturer-dr-john-danfulani-remanded-prison-criticizing-el-rufai/

At least you are honorable enough to accept that govt critics were also arrested during the regime of the saintly man... I wouldn't want to go into the long saddening details of what opposition politicians also went through under that regime, including the teargassing of even the No. 4 citizen of the country in the bid to lock he and his party members out and conduct a sham impeachment. If not for the embarrassing act of legislators defying teargas and jumping NASS gates, the story would have been differnet today. Meanwhile exactly the same scenario played out in Rivers with 5 HOA members using cultists to beat up and chase away other opposition HOA members. If not for the timely (though embarrassing) intervention of the governor, the sham would have been sealed. But it seems like your argument is now that 'Buhari is more tyrannical than GEJ.'

Mr Man, just accept that politicians are all the same and Nigeria is yet to get a proper democracy because we still do not have a civil society. Quit all these your futile defence of the last regime trying to paint them as saints. When you and your colleagues begin to accept that the last regime was equally useless as the pack, then you would realise that no one would defend the present govt any more.

While wouldn't bank profits rise when all they do is rip-off customers, round-trip forex and engage in other sharp unpatriotic practices?

Keballl:
I am pained because [size=16pt]ediots[/size] who don't feel the pain of their decision are here defending the indefensible.

Am sure if Danfulani were around, he will look at your kind and be mournful about how warped humans like you can become.



http://dailypost.ng/2016/10/26/former-kaduna-state-university-lecturer-dr-john-danfulani-remanded-prison-criticizing-el-rufai/

I'm sure you are also in the category of those you mentioned above (bolded) because the last time I checked, the very crime you accuse Buhari of, GEJ your hero was also clearly guilty of same crime but you've been running around here like a headless chicken trying to defend/exonerate him from the blames even whilst you call for the crucifixion of buhari for the same offence.

The last i checked, i never for once exonerated Buhari's govt of the crime of gagging press freedom so I am clearly not in the category of people you labelled above (bolded); all I have done here is expose the shameless hypocrisy of people like yourself who accuse buhari of the crime but still shamelessly turn around to defend GEJ for committing the exact same crime. Do you even have any single iota of self respect?

ephi123:
Let us know when you guys are done focusing on the past and ready to move on with the present/future. The next government will come and show us exactly what Mr Buhari achieved in his 4-year tenure.

The focus will leave the last govt when the last govt and their supporters like yourself learn to stop throwing baseless hypocritical accusations. How dare you accuse someone of a crime yuo were also very much guilty of and then you expect the person to be quiet??/... The blame game is always started by you guys but when the response comes, you start crying that the present regime is all about blame.

ephi123:
A guilty conscience is never a good thing. In case you missed it, my previous comment had nothing to do with Jonathan but rather the disdain you are showing to people by referring to them to plebs.

Of course, you are more than free to continue your defense of a failed government, it is very obvious to even a blind person that blowing grammar online is not going to change the situation on ground. Those who are paying ridiculous prices for basic sustenance such as food will continue to complain online regardless of what people like you try do.

I chose to stick to the subject, hence I didn't expend time responding to the 'pleb' comment.

Secondly, you were the one who introduced 'Understanding English Language' into this simple political discussion by erroneously correcting my spellings.

Again I would reiterate it, under normal circumstances, i would not be supporting or defending any Nigerian government especially when i know they are all mediocres. The only reason i still show solidarity to the present regime is because of people like you who have equally refused to acknowledge the shortcomings of the last admin but choose to paint them as saints and paint others as demons.

Just imagine the nonsense going on in this thread?.... GEj claiming that no journalist was ever arrested under his rule and people actually jump in to glorify the falsehood as if we all suffer from amnesia. This was the same regime where opposition lawmakers (including the nation's speaker) were teargassed and locked out of the NASS simply because the speaker decamped and became opposition. The same GEJ's regime where a sitting governor was teargassed and locked out of the govt house and his office by policemen on orders from Abuja. How can I forget that 16 was greater than 19 or is it the case where all opposition executives were abducted and locked in hotel rooms or turned back on the road during state elections?.... Now some humans choose to erase these incidents and many more, including the raid of newspaper houses by soldiers and seizing of all printed newspapers, you expect Nigerians to forget these events while you crown him a saint but you expect us to also help you remember how the present dude is a tyrant?

Newsflash: no one cares who won or lost the election. All we are asking is for the government to perform its basic duties rather than conveniently blaming the past. Nonsense.

The last time I checked, it was the last govt and their supporters who started this particular blame game. Everything done here is just a RESPONSE to your accusations. When the head of the past govt says something like 'no journalist was arrested for criticising my govt', you don't need a soothsayer to explain to you that he was a clearly blaming/accusing the present govt. The shameful part of this blame however is that the last govt was actually guilty of this very same crime.

Keballl:
Will you blame the shameless Obailala . He is in far away UK immune to the coup plotting beast they empowered via virulent propaganda.

Now the beast has metamorphosed to an entity of destruction threatening to sink the entire country while he simply doesn't care.

Lol.. this jonathanian is still pained over his loss, take heart bro. But be ye reminded that because you hypocritically make the loudest noise over an issue today, that doesn't mean the issue started today. Your hero who you paint as a saint also committed the exact same crime of tyranny which you wail about today (albeit quietly because no one bothered to wail as loud as you are hypocritically doing today). In your shameless hypocrisy, you inflicted yourself with selective amnesia and even with the evidence clearly dangled in your face, you now chose to feign ignorance or lack of comprehension. Bros park well!

ephi123:
Plebs: an ordinary person, especially one from the lower social classes.

So because people disagree with you, this qualifies them to be referred to as plebs? Says a lot about you folks bent on defending this failure of a man called Buhari. Newsflash, we are in 2016, with the internet it is no longer easy to suppress or oppress peoples' opinions (especially valid opinions) so you guys will continue to struggle with this online defense no matter how much you try. The truth can never remain twisted for long.

Meanwhile, while we are at it, it is molded not moulded.

While you think it is a dishonorable thing for me to defend the present regime, you actually think it is an honorable thing for you and your friends to glorify the last admin as saints no be so?... As long as the lads who glorified the last admin still continue to do so despite their glaring shortcomings, then it would be silly of anyone to expect me to start vilifying the present admin (which in reality isn't worse than the last).

Before you proceed with your hypocritical sermon on the mount, I advise you to go read again to find out the origin of the argument you broke into. GEJ claimed no journalist was arrested during his regime for criticising government (as is the case today); this lie was simply busted with evidence. I see no reason why this discussion/argument should proceed beyond this point.


Meanwhile, while you are also at it, be ye reminded that Nigeria was a British colony and we adopted the British (not American) English. The last time I checked, 'Mold' doesn't look like a English (UK) spelling; thanks anyway for your advise.

Keballl:
[s]You are a real zombie too desperate to withdraw due to ego. Those journalists never went to Prison. I repeat, they were never remanded.

You are disgustingly shameless.

DanFulani is currently in Prison, the second stint within a year. And here you are who was totally ignorant trying to save face[/s]



http://dailypost.ng/2016/10/26/former-kaduna-state-university-lecturer-dr-john-danfulani-remanded-prison-criticizing-el-rufai/

Just imagine the shameless character calling someone else a zombie?

Keballl:
You should be ashamed bro. Here you are blabbing after been summarily disgraced.

Didn't you read where he said he travails stem from his criticism of both state and FG.

DanFulani is currently remanded in Prison for the second time under a year and yet you are too shameless not to notice what's wrong in that.

Shame on you!

My Man kindly sharrap there and stop disgracing yourself further... GEJ claimed no one went to prison for criticising him. Someone provided evidence proving that GEJ was lying by mentioning 2 cases of journalists who were detained during GEJ's regime. Ordinarily you should have simply ignored that very post like your colleagues on this thread have wisely done, but you chose to dance naked in public by coming up with a lame defence that the people arrested under GEJ were released later; of course even a child knows that those arrested would still be released later, even those arrested by Abacha were released, but obviously you have lost focus on what this thread is talking about.

In simple terms, the message has already been passed and the hypocrisy exposed; journalists were also arrested and gagged under the watchful eyes of GEJ.

Sirlovings:
It seems you have not spent time travelling around Nigeria, I have had the opportunity to travel most states in Nigeria and I can tell you that south east has the least Federal government projects since independence.

People like you are always quick to accuse others of sentiments when the government policy benefits you and your region.
If this government fix the ever busy Enugu/Onitsha express way, will it not benefit other Nigerians? I have seen some federal roads in the North that you can literally count the number of few vehicles that apply on them each day.

How about the second Niger Bridge? (It has been subjected to DBFOT basis for a period of 25 years. Meaning that most part of it will be paid by south east motorists through road use TOLL.

The same federal government is spending billions looking for oil in the North but Anambra state had to use state limited fund for similar oil exploration which ended up successful.

How about setting up a coal power plant in Enugu which will cost less and will likely add over 5000MW to the national grid. Most countries (China, US, etc...)still run their coal plants with new technology because of the low cost of running it.

Please stop being insensitive to the unfortunate plight of others. South East and North East have least Federal government projects.

Like I said before, Nigeria will remain undeveloped and hugely divided if Nigerian politicians keep thinking the same way you do.

On a personal note, whether Federal government extend development to all parts of the country or not, it wouldn't affect me much or members of my immediate family as we are also NZ citizens which is one of the best countries in the world and we love it here. But I can't look away, abhor hate or be insensitive just like you.

You can't just sit at home and read news from newspapers or your phone and come here to type nonsense. I suggest you travel around Nigeria, go to South East and North East, then compare the federal government projects within them with that of your region.
Maybe you are also living outside the country but have not visited Nigeria for many years because you seem far from the reality.

I am not insensitive to the plight of anyone one here, if you know where I'm from you will be shocked at why this should be coming from me. I'm just bored with the continuous lamentations especially in situations like this when I think it is unnecessary. Once again I will reiterate this but note that this is purely my opinion, the Mambilla dam is a long overdue project which has been on the drawing board for over 36 years, I would be very glad if that project comes to life (irrespective of where it is located). Also, the Lagos to Kano standard rail and the Calabar to Lagos standard rail are very important projects which have been in the books for over a very long time; I agree that the Calabar to LAgos rail passes only a single SE city, but then, I would be very glad if this projects are actualised. Maybe if they can be actualised, then the spur from Benin-Asaba-Onitsha-Awka-Enugu may also be completed one day.

I understand that the SE has been unfairly marginalised by successive admins for decades, I understand the Onitsha-Enugu roads, the PH-Enugu roads,the PH-Owerri road have no reason being the disaster they are today, I understand the SE was terribly cheated by the PPP tolling arrangement on the 2nd Niger Bridge, ironically this evil was perpetrated by a supposed friend of the SE (GEJ), I remember lamenting this PPP arrangement on this forum sometime in 2014 when it was first announced but I was shouted down by some dumb persons who claimed I was just a GEJ hater and didn't want the SE zone to progress (a very foolish allegation from people who had no clue who I was). I am not a stranger to these acts of marginalisation to the SE and I suppose these are the kind of things we should lament about. But on this issue of actualising the Mambilla dam, the LAgos to Kano rail and the Calabar to Lagos rail, I totally have no qualms; this is my personal opinion though.

The real shocking news here is that Nigerian military has been importing boots and other military kit for decades even though we could produce them locally. What's really wrong with this country?

Keballl:
Your deliberate ignorance is disgusting. You shouldn't be posting on this board cos you are a very dishonest fellow.

Here we go again... It's quite amusing how ignorance accuses others of ignorance. You claimed Danfulani was arrested and not released didnt you?.... But its on record that he was arrested in January 2016 and released within a week. WHat do you have to say about that?

Okay from your post above, apparently he's been arrested again last week (10 months later) and definitely would be released again. Would be nice if in your infinite wisdom, you explain to poor ol' ignorant me, what you meant by you initial inference that people were arrested and never released?. ... or how exactly did you come to this conclusion that a man who was arrested last week wouldnt be released?

By the way, Danfulani's is a case between the man and el rufai, so what exactly has that got to do with buhari or jonathan?

Igboid:
[s]So says the Afonja impostor whose idea of progressive thought for Ndiigbo is justification of the plan of the FG to totally ignore the region in a 18.3 billion infrastructural investment plan. While the rest of the 5 regions gets to enjoy such infrastructural investment with the multiplier effects that come with them

Ofcourse, such Igbos like you only exists in Ijebu-Igbo.

I'm only amused by your folly, only a miserable individual can display your attitudes.[/s]

Shove ur opinion up ur back hole.

Keballl:
DanFulani is in prison as we speak. Stop your ignorance.

Which prison and for how long has he been in prison?... The last time I checked, Danfulani was released within a week. And this is the sort of nonsense you peddle amongst your gullible circle while you shamelessly refer to someone as ignorant? .... Did you even think it wise to do a google search before you came up with that lie up there?

Igboid:
I am only crying for your life. Sucks to be you. A non Igno claiming Igbo 24hrs, one has to be shameless to pull that off.

Ndo.

You should concentrate on crying for your own life and leave mine alone. STick to your opinions and mentality while I stick to mine. ANd sorry if it pains you so much that an Igbo man has chosen not to tow your retrogressive line of thought. You are the shameless one who thinks everybody must think like you do in order to validate their origins, your opinion on my origin is as worthless as ass-wiped tissue paper. If it pains you so much that a person like me exists, you know exactly what to do to end your misery. GD night

krendo:
Tomorrow your president will be hopping around the world looking for foreign investment

What if these were illegal structures?... We need investment but does that necessarily mean we must be lawless or follow no rules?... Must we be sentimental about everything?.. If the structures aren't illegal, they would surely be compensated, at least unlike the common man who can and may be oppressed and cheated, do you really think larger firms can be trampled upon?

Igboid:
[s]Lol! Your write up was demonic because it was bereft of any iota of rationality.

Addressing it would have been a waste of time as I couldn't meet you half way the wrong road. You already embarrassed yourself coming up with such irrational load of faeces.

The demonic tag just fits it to a T.[/s]

I gave my opinion, if you aren't okay with it, piss off!!! (and you can keep crying for the rest of your life while you're at it since that's what gives you pleasure).

Lol... Na wa oh!... has the delusion gotten to this?... The enemy of my enemy is now my friend?... I choose to doubt this report though. It's no news however that 95% of ipob followers are merely jonathanians of Igbo extraction who are still pissed with 2015 election outcome and Buhari is simply the bone of contention. Should Buhari drop dead today (God forbid), or if pdp takes over power, ipob would die a natural death.

Igboid:
And where is the common sense in your write up? Cause all I see is load of faeces coming from a non Igbo posturing as Igbo.

If you had any iota of intellects in your skull, you would have at least attempted to embarrass yourself by telling me what I wrote was false; not the nonsense demonic talk you came up with there.

Keballl:
GEJ tweet was very clear. He rightly said no one went to Prison for criticising him.

The article itself made it clear they were released .

Compare that with the brazen arrest and detainment of bloggers citing "Cyber squatting" laws everywhere.

Even an ordinary fellow like Chinakwe slept in the prison over nothing.

Elrufai is very significant in this discourse cos he was a very poisonous and rabid criticiser of the past admin. He was never hounded and bundled into Prison. But here is the same man causing a man to be remanded over a criticism that was 90% less virulent than his over a 4 year span.

Did you just say the ones arrested under gEJ were released?.... Kindly point out the person who has been sent to prison and not released for criticising buhari?.... Why don't you just keep quiet and stop embarrasing yourself.

omenka:
You have so much time honestly. I don't respond to such nonsense.

The Ineffectual Buffoon said "NO NIGERIAN". I presented cases where Nigerians were actually detained, and suddenly they shift the goal post to "high profile". What idiocy.

I've learnt to totally ignore these guys and just say what I like how I like. Anyone who finds them objectionable can as well kiss my ass.

Finally it's a bit difficult ignoring some of those meaningless posts.

Igboid:
You have a demonic mind.

I'm sure you are the demon possessing my mind?... Go get yourself some common sense bro..

Keballl:
I simply copied you the same reply to Omenka since you were wholly in support of his post.

Now counter the points i raised.

Firstly, the point made is simple, the sheer hypocrisy in ordering the arrest of journalists, confiscation of newspapers and others whilst coming out today to act a saint and deceive the world that you never did such has just been exposed by those reports posted.

Oh yes, elrufai wasnt arrested doesnt mean other less influential opposition personalities (including journalists) werent arrested. What do you have to say about that?

BankeSmalls:
All follow. The Federal government has shown both in words and deeds that it hates a particular part of the country. I am against that no matter where I come from.

In words Yes! But in deeds, I am yet to see any clear manifestation of this hate except in terms of appointments (which in my personal opinion means absolutely nothing). I am not convinced by the excessively loud noise a lot of people have taken to since the very moment this admin took over; the louder outcry by people against this admin doesnt necessarily mean this admin has treated the zone any worse than previous admins had in the past. But that isnt even the issue here.

MyParadise:
i am not even to is discussed here cos we the youths have been blinded. I only said God if what was done was just then let it be but if it is unjust then God turn it to our.

A simple prayer with hate

My point was simple, there are obviously lots of areas where the SE has been marginalised for ages and is still being marginalised. But definitely not on these 4 listed infrastructural projects discussed on this thread, let's try and pay more attention to details in our arguments and agitations else it just portrays the whole group as noisemakers.
