Bolade005:
I served in Akwa Ibom state. State college, Abak road, Ikot ekpene precisely.

On the surface, Ikot Ekpene is a beautiful village but when you go beyond the surface, beyond the surface now is "deeper into the city" then you will realise there is nothing in Ikot Ekpene. I can count the number of houses there with a bathroom, toilet and Kitchen attached to the main house. Not modern bathroom and toliet sef. Ikot Ekpene is a glorifed / advanced village.

Oh, I've missed this old woman at plaza where I always go to eat pounded yam with better white soup anytime FG pays allawee. Anyways, Akwa Ibom ayaya. Ikot ekpene ayaya.

You‘re joking, right? Cos you just described somewhere in the SW with their distinct lack of adequate toilets and reliance on ‘shot put’ ie throwing fecal matter in bags on the streets, NOT Ikot Ekpene in Akwa Ibom state. Ikot is no glorified village but a bustling commercial metropolis close to the commercial Hubs in Abia state.

Who says more cannot be done?

Under that crook called Umana? Hell no!

ionsman:
Boy oh boy! Are you really this f00lish? I really dont wanna use mean words on you.Kindly act like a learned being.Thanks

Why dont you act like an adult and provide a rebuttal to his post rather than insult him like an airhead who has just been caught pants down with absolutely nothing to say in defence.

Senator Kayode is a dolt. The Tropicana project is still ongoing with the Cinema completed and the hotel almost complete. Work on the hall is also ongoing.

Mosaku147:
na wa for u ooo.if you be Fayose,u go dere show your face where obj,GMB and Ameachi dey? Shame go catch am die.abi you forget say Fayose still insult GEJ say na mumu im b as e no fit rig imself back.

Why will Fayose be ashamed to be there? The same Fayose that has deep seedd hatred for OBJ and attacked him in public, something most people dare not do?

To all the so-called Buharirists & airheads here screaming that Nigeria ought to be on the list, lets get one thing straight: NO ONE is saying that the country is corruption free as we still have a long way to go. BUT this great nation has made reasonable progress in the fight against this problem, particularky under the GEJ administration. Thats why you TWATS, a.b.o.k.i Self-Service.E.R.S and nitwits ought to go through the 2014 TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL CORRUPTION PERCEPTION INDEX realeased on December last year. Hopefully it will get to shut you airheads up once and for all, and do pray that your saviour GMB at least exceeds that score.

Bimpe29:
I stand to be corrected if you feel my opinion on this is wrong. The list isn't objectively ranked without Nigeria in the top ten.

Then i suggest you view TI Corruption Perception Index for 2014.

Ouch!!

kay29000:
Okay. So it is only Ndigbo that is in Nigeria? How about saying he governed the whole Nigeria well. So if he worked in just one area, you will continue to support him...That is a selfish man's mentality. Anyway,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC.

Son, you probably have an issue with comprehension. Did Mr. Uko mention any other tribe other than the Igbos? NO. His main points were (1)GEJ was fair to the Igbos in his dispensation [soooooooo true], and (2) Attacks on the outgoing First Family MUST. Yet youre busy yapping trash here. Has your grey matter expired?

Btw, last i checked we run a democracy here where every Nigerian has to right to elect the candidate of tgeir choice. It is NOT a must tgat everyone shouldve voted for GMB. If youre pissed that the Igbos voted for GEJ based on their convictions, then i suggest you go jump off a cliff or boil stones for your useless beef.

AyeeIdris:
I have been taunted with my weight all my life. It took me many years to find my voice and confidence. I did all the fad diets to no effect. My mama said i will always be fat. I should learn to love it. How can anyone love being overweight all their life?
After my baby and crazy weight gain (115kg), i got off my ass and changed my habits. Home workout and a reasonable doable diet, i got down to 85.....
I will always struggle with my weight, but i will never give up and let myself go......

Pls what kind of diet were u on? and how was your excercise regimen like?

Whynotthetruth:
sorry if my words hurts but till you change, there's more from whence those came from

1)Sum total of our national debt will show you that greater percentage of the debt burden belong to the states. 80%of indebted states are APC states while 100% of SW states are culpable...

2)If you aren't perturbed that your state of origin as well as your region(Sw) which has NO substantial means of sustenance outside ND oil is neck deep in debts; why should it border me that Jonathan led federal government which controls all the resources are owing?...who will feel the pain more?...who will easily among the duo?...charity begins at home bro

3)Your state and region enjoyed same largesse yet are neck deep in debt... why not look inwards first?...how come they owe more but with less development projects to show?...is Tinubu factor really a blessing or curse in the patriotic sense of it?...

4)What is illogical is how a sane and normal citizen of a country would be angry that his country didn't make the list of the ten most corrupt countries in the world....you need serious sober reflection....

5)Calling Obj devil doesn't make you apolitical or less partisan because that's what he is...You're less partisan when you open a thread to challenge Tinubu strangling of economic wellbeing of SW through APC....and also question your governors incessant knack for borrowing... as well as why their cost of road construction outweighs that of swampy ND region....which day will you do it

6)As for me, instead of spewing gibberish like you especially when I feel Jonathan isn't right in my understanding; I won't comment. I will keep quiet. And if I must talk, I won't defend him. Unfortunately, this wisdom isn't in your dictionary because sense of decorum and patriotism is none existent in you....

7)Doctor cure yourself that you may be strong enough to handle other patients....look at your state, local government and region because they are on fire...stop pushing shadow....

Moderators, pls how do i give tgis poster a million likes and a crate of cold Orijin?

PassingShot:
The shame is on you and your co-travelers for daring to compare Nigeria with war-ravaged, isolated and authoritarian countries of the world.

I never know Uzbekistan and the other *stan was war ravaged.

in the recent 2014 transparency International Corruption Perception Index, Nigeria's position appreciated by 8 points, making it the nation's HIGHEST SCORE till date, all thanks to GEJ. yet the APC along with their person followers vilified that humble man. Come 29th May we shall retun the favour for all their fck ups

Jesusloveyou:
d same wike that wil be there for 2months? don't blame ameachi for south south woe,we in south south wil never forgive gej, history wil remember him as d biggest failure.

Abeg speak for yourself!! i am equally from the SS and i say without a doubt that GEJ is the BEST and most selfless president we have had TILL DATE.

ddippset:
even apache, I could list 100 things that he did including roads, even ibb, even idi amin. I am focusing on the promises GEJ made and did not fulfill. And that's in response to tanoids who say buhari MUST fulfill ALL his promises which is impossible for any president. Anyway buhari is your president tanoid, if you like type babaonechance all day, live with it.

Of course he's my president, I'm not disputing that. That's why we will be giving him the same "support" given to GEJ. Being a magician that he is, he MUST deliver on his promises. Anything less........hehehe, lemme leave it there.

Aaaah 29th May will be awesome ......

neutrotoba:
1. You can not tell me when to talk and when not to talk!

2. What the Phurk is Economic Growth when citizens are still finding it difficult to afford the necessities of life, when a USD goes for 199naira... Man, if you are going to sing your hero's praise, do it without mentioning economic growth, it's actually a subject of mockery for South Africans!

What mockery by which South Africans when their own economy is going down the tubes? Whether you like it or not, NOI has achieved a lot, the economy inclusive. If you don't like it, go jump off a cliff.

CHESSBOARD:
...We in Rivers state knows where all Amaechi shoes they pinch us.... the man amaechi is a JUDAS without Carrot

LMAO!! So true !!

nwafuluozoh:
The word “Judas” is Rotimi Amaechi’s trademark. It has become his synonym.
For example, “Judas is going to jail” can be said and understood as “Rotimi Amaechi is going to jail”

Hehehehehehe 'reminds me of Brighter Grammer

CHESSBOARD:
, You Yorubas are even more pained than an average Rivers Amaechi supporter...I dont understand this sudden love, maybe Prof Soyinka will explain more...no more free money from Rivers state abi.... APC supposed to be happy with the outcome of the election but we can all see that they are more pained and frustrated than PDP and its supporters evedn after the election favoured them...But I tell you if Amaechi ever smell River state government house whether as a visitor or as a godfather, then you know I am not the grandmaster of Chess

Don't mind them. They still don't get at all.

free2ryhme:
Tele Ikuru is a frustrated Judas who will regret at the end. Wike will certainly be stripped naked at the tribunal. Shame on the Jonathans and their PDP cohorts in Rivers

You really think PDP is going to lose at the tribunal to APC in a staunch PDP state where the outgoing governor Amaechi is seen as a traitor and sell out by the masses? Hehehehe bros, if unicorns were real...

abduljabbar4:
The man is an ingrate and sorry for him Wike will definately lose in court and this means no appointment from either the state govt or the federal govt. That's the end of the dep gov politically. Tinz will be sweeter than Hollywood

Keep waiting for Wike to lose in court. U go tire

neutrotoba:
That's her family's Joy, not Nigerians'! She's been nothing close to a blessing to Nigeria with all that profile

THAT woman was responsible for Nigeria's debt relief from the Paris Club under the OBJ administration

THAT woman was responsible for Nigeria's ascention as the top spot as Africa's LARGEST economy.

THAT woman is responsible for this nation's rise as one of the FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD (heard of MINT) and a choice destination for FDI.

Yet you have the audacity to say she has not been a blessing to this great nation? Do tell, how have YOU personally blessed Nigeria? Until you've achieved same feat as her, I suggest you keep mum.

blackandbold:
one thing u should know is that uf u dance to the tune of theses international monetary organisation even to sell ur country's birthright..u will be considered for more post and position. ..
the economy is really on the verge of collapse.if the fg had ti borrow money tobmake up for salary payment. .what wud u call that? indeed na good legacy. .Mtwwew
now thatbabaishere, even if na just to probe he go do...make him make them accountable for their duties. .we meed to instill the spirit of accountability into people at the elms of affair and into nigeria as a whole. that cud make a lirrle difference in the way we handle people's resources

The misconception you folks keep peddling is that NOI she came to do the bidding of these Brenton Wood institutions. 'last I checked, she may have worked for them, BUT worked for US as a Nigerian called to serve AND look after Nigeria's interest.

And you say the economy is on the verge of collapse. Care to back up your claim and are you privy to authentic information not known to the nation's economic team?

Oh BTW the outgoing administration already instilled the spirit of accountability AND transparency. Ever heard of the FoI Act?

ddippset:
completion of benin-lagos road, fix electricity, sokoto-kontangora road, 2nd niger bridge, exploitation of coal deposits in kogi and benue, 35% affirmative action, ife/ijesa dam, mambilla dam in taraba, completition of east west raod, every nigeria of school age will be in school by 2015, end generator importation.these are just off the top of my head! his failed promises must be over 100. iam not holding these against him, its not easy. the president cannot keep all of his promises, it is impossible. STOP CALLING BUHARI BABAONECHANCE.

GEJ improved generated power compared to his predecessors from paltry 1500MW to an initial peak of almost 5000MW, plus the numerous power stations constructed compared to his predecessors COMBINED.

Under GEJ, the agricultural sector was revamped with production output at its HIGHEST in this nation's history. Food security is now assured, importation bill slashed from over N2 TRILLION (damn straight) to N600 billion, and 2nd highest earner of income achieved.

In road constriction, GEJ reconstructed the long abandoned Benin-Ore road (yeah that one you mentioned) and a host of others. Off my head, there's the Yola-Numan-Jalingo road, Wukari-Zaki Biam-Gboko road, Otukpo road, Enugu-Abakiliki-Ogoja road, Owerri-Umuahia-Aba road, Ogoja-Ugep-Ikom road, Ikot Abasi-Eleme road, and a host of other roads.

Under the GEJ watch our airports were revamped and remodeled.

Under GEJ our once comatose rail network is now up and running and is being expanded on

Thanks to GEJ, the Local Content Act, long abandoned by previous regimes was passed and FULLY implemented. Now a MAJORITY of projects in the lucrative upstream sector of the oil and gas industry (exploration and production) is handled by NIGERIAN COMPANIES while 70% of IOC workforce in Nigeria are NIGERIANS

Thanks to GEJ, the once neglected Armed Forces received it's highest funding TILL DATE with the highest number of platforms acquired (2nd Shagari)

Under the GEJ watch, his administration accounted for the HIGHEST number of women in political offices and govt.

And the list goes on and on. So don't you dare come here and tell me GEJ didn't keep his promises.

#BABAONECHANCE

ddippset:
and that justifies calling him babaonechance when he hasnt even assumed office? tell me gej delivered on half of his campaign promises in 2011, tell me. also tell me gej and pdp did not make unrealistic promises in 2015. if gej had won would you and other tanoids be calling him gej one chance already? when he hasnt even been sworn in? pleeeease. NB-IT'S YOUR PERSONAL OPINION THAT GEJ PERFORMED WELL.

With the way he's making up excuses for his forthcoming non performance and inability to deliver his campaign promises long before he gets to the hot seat, I think the title Baba One Chance is pretty much appropriate.

Gmbmyhero:
This woman should stop fooling us. Jungle don mature. I won't be surprised when GMB launch u inside kirikiri. Wicked fellow. She only came to crumble the staggering economy

Keep dreaming about kirikiri. No one is touching NOI, including GMB.

neutrotoba:
Will you just shut up ma?

Don't talk like you give a phurck about Nigeria's Economy anyway.

Go back to your job, and never come back to lobby for any appointment here.

Pleeeeaassssseee.

Lobby for what appointment? We're talking about a product from 2 IVY League schools, an academician, 2 time serving minister (Finance, Foreign Affairs, and Coordinating Minister of the Economy) and a former executive of the World Bank. What the Bleep do you have to offer when she probably is being disturbed by the UN, IMF, World Bank, ADB, and a tonne of Ivy League schools to take up top level posts there? Take you appointments and go shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

ddippset:
take your time baba, and deliver your promises. even those who did not vote for you are the first to say 'baba you must keep all your campaign promises', 'baba you must make 1 dollar equal to 1 naira'. when baba made those campaign promises, you still called his bluff and refused to vote for him. so what justification do you have to tell baba that he must keep his promises. afterall you voted for the man from otuoke. goodluck ebele jonathan made 100 campaign promises prior to the 2011 elections but did not fulfil 20% of them, so you all cut Baba Buhari some friggin slack!

Was any "friggin slack" given to GEJ, especially with all those insults? Yet the man performed quite well. Be rest assured that GMB will enjoy same "support", and he MUST deliver on those campaign promises of his.

. "You know that we used to have Nigeria Airways, Nigeria National Shipping Line, Nigeria Railways. Where are they now? Where is the infrastructure? Between then and now and what we earned in-between and what is on the ground.

“That is how efficiently how the PDP managed Nigeria in the last 16 years. Now we have invariably inherited all the problems, especially in the north east"

Hold on.....so the PDP was responsible for the demise of Nigeria Airways and co? Huh.....and what of the military regimes of old? GMB is not serious at all

From the posts I've read here, there are too many immature kids here on Nairaland. Keep insulting GEJ, yet you've not passed your WAEC. Useless twats.


@ OP, it has truly been an honor to have been led by GEJ. God bless you sir.

Abeg shut up! Your messiah is busy making up excuses already yet your here talking trash. 29th May is just around the corner nah. Don't perform, and we'll give him a taste of the treated meted on GEJ. Nonsense.

Atk1nson:
a non-aboki guru like u do not know that know that one of the major reasons our naira is floundering is because of d depletion of our excess crude account, foreign reserves and ballooning debt portfolio.

no sensible fellow will ignore the fact that after privatisation and billions of USD spent by did administration, power generation dropped from 4000mw to 2000mw, inspite of d government still providing billions of naira in subsidies to d buyers.
Granted that power generation will not meet d current demand over note, it's inconceivable that it is even reducing further.
he is very much on point in questioning d privatization process and d way it was carried out.

I will go no further, I even tried responding to a tribal bigot, anyone who judges a person by dear religion or ethnicity is not worth my time

Dude, im no guru, but i advice that if you're not sure about a subject matter, then I suggest you shut up and read up OR open your mouth (or in this case type garbage) and expose your ignorance to the whole world to see. Anyway here are a few facts:

1)Power generation peaked at about 1500MW during the OBJ years. Two years or so after GEJ began his 1st tenure as president, power generation leaked at almost 5,000MW. That is a feat that has NEVER been achieved by previous administrations. And people can attest to the fact the Nigerians now enjoy more hours of light compared to yesteryears when they had to make do with a few hours of brownouts in some areas and total blackout in most part of the country. All these were achieved thanks to the projects I listed in my previous post. It is true that there's been a dip in power generated, but if you ever bothered to follow up the news at all, you would've known that known that it's all caused solely by our gas supply lines being sabotaged.

2)If you ever bothered to follow the news (as usual) then you would've known that the devaluation of the naira was triggered primarily by the massive drop in oil prices, the sole commodity that this nation operates on. No thanks to the non-diversification of our economy, this drop has been deeply felt as we pretty much depend on a lot of imports, including refined fuel products as our refineries aren't producing optimally. Still no other administration has shown as much seriousness as GEJ in diversifying our economy. Thanks to GEJ other sectors, agriculture in particular, now earns the nation much needed FX. Thanks to the revolutiin in the same agriculture sector, which BTW the way is our 2nd highest earner of FX, we've seen a massive slash in our import bill from over N3 TRILLION (yes you read that right) to a bit over N600 billion. We've equally seen the revitalization of our once comatose manufacturing sector, and even ENTERTAINMENT (NOLLYWOOD) now contributes to our earnings thanks to the infusion of initial experimental funding by GEJ.

Yet you expect me believe the rants of some newly elected senator who's busy spewing trash everywhere cos he has a grudge with GEJ? Abegi...
