As dumb as it is it will hit fp soon
Ugly GEJITE

Uhmm...i seriously doubt that..

Well i think GEJ's just giving the best answer you can.give fools & confused dimwits on the present administration: SILENCE..

Oh, and he's enjoying his retirement from public office.

But hey, thanks for the joke.

Policy flip flop.

DONMAYOR19:
Continuity of project, the problem of Nigeria politician. Obj the thief awarded the project then, but nothing happen, the thief just award contract for paper, and all this yoruba newspaper never one day reported bad thing about this thief obj. GEJ came and re awarded the contract together with Benin-Ore road, today u can leave from Lagos to Benin without tress of that Benin-Ore traffic that obj use to kill Nigerians then. Lagos-Ibadan road was ongoing well before dullapo came with his body movement and everything has been stopped.


Funny enough, some blind people will say GEJ is the problem of Nigeria, obj them no see, babagida them no see, dullard buhari them no see. Shabi nigeria started in 2009 abi? Bias will kill some people no be small.

Moderators, I want to report this post........for being too awesome & on point. I recommend a crate of Origin or Star Radler for the poster as punishment.

And I thought we needed more field officers for the ongoing war on terror.

Oloribruku ode !! I didn't write the goddam report!! It was culled from your APshit newspapers PUNCH!!
Unlike you zombies, I am gainfully employed and not waiting for Buhari's N5000 stipend

Correction: Phantom N5000 stipend. Oya carry on.

ModiKen:
We would get back on our feet.

Fork all them whiteman lists, rules and regulations for financial development.

They are what brought Africa to its knees financially. World Bank and IMF comes to mind here.

We need to block all holes through which those thieves who have been in power or close to those in power keep looting us.

We would develop without JP Morgan listing.

We need to break free of these American and European organisations trying to determine our growth and development.

Africa its time we have our own currency; one currency for the continent as suggested by the late Mummuar Ghadaffi.

An African currency would go higher than the Euro used by member countries of the Euro zone due to the huge amount of resources and the endless investment opportunities on the continent

So they expected us to fold our arms and watch the Naira fall same way the Zimbabwean dollar fell.

CBN please continue protecting our currency.

We may feel it hurts now but on the long run we would see the benefits.

China is a shining example. Today the U.S owes China thousands of dollars.

You do know that China is an EXPORT based economy while Nigeria relies HEAVILY on imports, right?

Demmocrats:
For those of you who cease to understand things.



Simple analysis check the road network systems of the three main tribes in Nigeria then you will understand why I said that tribe are honest people.



Am not Hausa or Muslim but those guys are honest people don't judge them because of few bad eggs that are extremist.

Abeg stow that LIE! I've worked in the North East for years before I left and have had the opportunity of travelling to and through Niger state, and I can categorically tell you that you are lying. Is it those back breaking journeys I use to undertake from Yola to Jailing via Numan or Zing? Or Jalingo-Wukari road? Or Bali-Takum? Or Bali-Gashaka-Gembu? Take a trip from Yola to Mubi, then you'll fully understand. Further up in Born it's the same story. Why do you think it always took the army, without air assets, HOURS to respond to Boko Haram attacks in remote hamlets?

And it's not just roads. Look at schools, health care, and Co. The basics. Then you'll understamd why these Northeners, they are FAR WORSE! I don't even want to go into attempted ethnic cleansing by these people, the FULANIS in particular, against minorities like the Berom in Plataeu and the Mambillans in Gembu. MOST of These northerners (Hausas and Fulanis to be specific) are TOTALLY UNRELIABLE, INCOMPETENT, AND WICKED. But I will admit that they are straightforward than some tribes down south.

You'll have to pardon the comrade for his verbal diarrhea. Viagra doesn't work well with Orangutans.

You know what, Reno Omokiri is right. Appointments must be based solely on competence..........that's why the South MUST account for a LARGER PERCENTAGE of the appointments for the following reasons:

1) Southerners are far better educated
2) The South boasts of far higher number of technocrats that have proven their worth in both public and private sector
3) Based on previous experience, most Northerners ought NOT to be included as they were directly responsible for wrecking this nation for 40+ years.

Let me get this straight....the United States of America, the world's LARGEST PRODUCER OF OIL, now wants to by Nigeria's oil?...........Folks, does that make sense to you? 'cos I smell a rat.

Na wa oh. GEJ simply made an appearance, yet the APR clowns here are all jittery

malikisah:
all first class thieves!

Compared to the airheads in the current administration, the GEJ team was lightyears AHEAD of them.

Ijaya123:
.

Your comparison is bereft of any justification. You're here comparing an administration of 72 months with another of 3 months.

How does that sound to you?

Maybe you're right. But one think is certain: GMB sure took a very short period to reverse the progress made. If all these occurred in just 3 months, God help us at the end of his 4th Year in office.

bigerboy200:
What was d effect on Nigerians Suffering and suffering was what we saw.. I have never experienced hardship as severe as the one we saw during GEJ's time,most esp during d dying days of his administration.

Compared to now?

Under GEJ administration:
1) Nigeria overthrew South Africa as the largest economy in Africa
2)Nigeria's economy grew at a rate of 6-7%, making it one of the fastest economies in the world
3)Thanks to the agricultural REVOLUTION, Nigeria's food security was assured. it equally was able to slash its import bill from over N1 TRILLION to abit over N600 billion
4) Nigeria was listed as a member of MINT nations
5) The nation's manufacturing sector was rescusitated. Thanks to policies like the automobile policy, Nigeria now produces high end goods like vehicles.
6)thanks to infusion of funds, sectors like the entertainment sector (Nollywood and co) now accounts for a percentage of the nation's earnings, a VERY FIRST in our history
7)Thanks to the local content policy, Nigerian Companies now participate in very large numbers in the lucrative upstream sector of the Oil and Gas Industry as these local coys are given PRIORITY over their foreign counterparts. Again a VERY FIRST in our history.
Thanks to the administration, there was MASSIVE investment in power, from generation to transmission to distribution. Thanks to same administration, private sector participation was FULLY introduced via the privatization of NEPA, thus eliminating govt inefficiency. You now enjoy more power thanks to all these. That means the OPEX of businesses, particularly SMEs have been SLASHED, thus allowing for growth.
9) thanks to programmes like YouWin and funds from organizations like BoI, additional SMEs were created as
budding entrepreneurs could access funds with little to ZERO interest rates.
10) Thanks to SEC under the GEJ, regulation of the financial market was enforced. Also laudable was the risk assessment undertaken by the CBN, again under GEJ'S watch.


Under the GMB administration
1) There's absolutely ZERO economic plan or team
2) Absence of economic plan has cost the nation over N1 TRILLION.
3)Nigeria has been toppled as the no. 1 choice destination for FDI by ETHIOPIA
4) The economy is not stagnat, but actually on the decline by a bit over 2%.
5) Job creation has been SLASHED
6)The Naira is at record low value
7) We lost China, world LARGEST CONSUMER OF OIL, as a customer
FX coffers may have increased, but businesses have been starved of access to much needed FX for trade.
9) Absolute confusion in immediate policy eg. ban access to Bureau de Exchange to importers BUT authorize same access to importers of textile, furniture, and co, thus killing local producers.

HungerBAD:
President Jonathan.

The problem was not Dr Akinwumi Adesina, Ms. Arunma Oteh or your Economic team. The problem was you, and your constant interference with the working of the Government by looting. The recommendations the professionals in your Economic team, gave to you got lost in the memo that passed through Patience Jonathan's office before it got to you.

ABSOLUTE CRAP!!!! How did GEJ interfere with his Economic team when he actually gave additional power to its lead, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, to act as the nation's coordinating Minister of the economy (basically a prime minister)? This is the issue with you APC; you all make up blatant lies and horse crap.

Iya mmi!!!

Mending of Nigeria’s Fractured Relationship with the World Powers

Again, absolutely HOGWASH/BULLSHYTE on the part of the writer. With the exception of the United States, Nigeria had an EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP with EVERY OTHER world power from both East (Russia, China) and West (United Kingdom, France, Germany, etc). With respect to the Americans, The relationship was simply strained, NOT severed. we tried to buy weapons from them, they disagreed citing "human rights issues", we in turn retaliated by cancelling the military training programme, we turned East for other parts of the West for weapons and combat platforms, acquired them, and trounced Boko Haram without much help from the Americans. SIMPLE. Making it look like Nigeria was some sort of pariah state under GEJ is simply laughable.

Prioritizing Regional Cooperation

Following in the footsteps of his predecessor, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President Muhammadu Buhari has made regional integration within the West African subregion one of the priorities of his administration. This policy direction is not only economically vital, but it will also be critical if the war against insurgency is to be won. GLAD TO SEE WE AGREE ON THIS ONE (even though GMB initially condemned it during his campaigns). APPARENTLY, GEJ WAS NOT "CLUELESS" AFTER ALL

Renewed Vigour in the War against Boko Haram

Absolute HOGWASH. The previous administration was able to destroy Boko Haram as a fighting force. But under the watch of the present administration, we have seen a massive spike in terror attacks from bombings to massacres. Not only that, we've lost territories previously captured by the GEJ administration. One more thing: the Is realised have ALWAYS been in this fight ever since the GEJ administration, from counter terror training to supply of weapons and surveillance systems. So framing it as if they're just joining the fight is simply disingenuous of the writer of this article.

Waging a “Non-Negotiable” War against Corruption

All we've heard is TOO MUCH TALK, but ZERO ACTION. "I will probe, I will probe, blah blah"

Appreciable Improvement in Power Supply in Various Parts of the Country

Indeed power has improved. But news flash: it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Buhari or his "integrity", or the "fear" of him, or his "body language". It all has to do with the MASSIVE REFORMS and investments made in power generation, gas supply, transmission, and distribution by the GEJ administration. Thanks to its investment and the elimination of Govt inefficiency by outsourcing TCN and privatising PHONE, we've seen an improvement.

In a week of brazen display of corruption of power in Nigeria, one that also marks 100 days in office of Nigeria’s military dictator turned democratic ruler, Muhammadu Buhari ordered the invasion of Akwa Ibom’s State House by the country’s secret police.

A team of forty-eight operatives of the Department of State Security Services (DSS, also called SSS), invaded Akwa Ibom State Government House on Thursday, September 3, 2014. Arriving in Hilux vans, the SSS operatives ransacking the premises without a search warrant.

The SSS operatives disarmed the security personnel assigned to the Government House and made straight for the VIP Guest House where immediate past governor and now Senator Godswill Akpabio stayed on his last visit to Uyo, the state’s capital. The team claimed to be acting on intelligence.

The operatives broke the doors, forcing their way in to the premises despite pleas for them to wait for Usman, the Julius Berger staff who holds the keys to the apartment. They claimed they were searching for a stash of arms and ammunition and bombs.

According to eye-witness accounts, the Secret Police officers were armed and fierce looking. They searched the entire premises, even the underground units. Eventually, they found a safe and broke it. Contained in the safe was N1 million and $50,000.

Since leaving office, former Governor Akpabio has stayed in the VIP Guest House twice.

Is this what you were looking for?: Governor Udom Emmanuel Livid

Fifty minutes into the invasion, the governor was alerted of the operation and went to confront the SSS officers. Governor Udom Emmanuel met the operatives breaking the safe which contained N1 million and $50,000. “Is this what you were looking for,” Udom asked the security operatives.

When challenged by Governor Udom, one Aliyu, who led the team of DSS operatives admitted that they were carrying out the unlawful invasion under the orders of President Buhari.

Governor Udom immediately called Buhari on the phone and was heard asking in anger, “Is this democracy? Why send these people to invade our government House?”.

When the SSS operatives saw that Udom was livid on the phone, they mellowed and began to apologise. They pleaded with the governor saying they were merely obeying “presidential orders”. Udom angry asked them to go with the estimated $50,000 which they found in the safe, “since that is what they came for”. The SSS operatives declined.

On discovering they had found nothing incriminating in the premises, the SSS officers hurriedly vacated the premisesPresident Buhari appointed Lawal Daura, his kinsman from his hometown in Katsina on July 2, as head of the DSS after firing Ita Ekpeyong. Daura was recalled from retirement as he had retired from the service of the DSS when he reached the mandatory age of 60 according to the Civil Service rules of Nigeria. Daura has been exposed as a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and served on the security committee for Buhari’s presidential campaign.

It would be recalled that there has been considerable persecution of members and perceived sympathisers of the former President Goodluck Jonathan administration by the DSS, since Daura’s appointment. Some notable victims of the said clampdown include the former Chief Security Office (CSO) of Jonathan, Gordon Obua, who was detained in solitary confinement for days.

In addition, former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki’s house was also raided by operatives of the DSS a few weeks ago with subsequent threats of charges for treasonable felony being brought against him over $40,000, seven luxury cars, and seven rifles found in his residence. His passport was unlawfully seized by the DSS.

Dasuki, who served under President Jonathan, is a retired Army colonel and crown prince of the Sokoto Sultanate. He maintains that the raid on his house is a ‘witch-hunt’ by the Buhari government. This week, Dasuki appeared before a Federal judge on charges of possessing a firearm without license. He was granted bail on self recognition.

Asides the aforementioned, the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) for Akwa Ibom, Austin Okojie, who was detained tortured for 13 days and his Rivers State counterpart, Gesila Khan , who was also detained for two weeks by Nigeria’s secret police. The harassment, detention, and torture of electoral officials of the two oil rich states is connected with the interest of President Buhari in reclaiming electoral victory from main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in those states.

None of the INEC officials detained by the DSS have been charged with any crime and the election petitions filed by the APC is being tried at election tribunals.

The DSS, however, is yet to issue an official statement on the circumstances surrounding the unlawful invasion of the Akwa Ibom State Government House.

DelTom:
there is a new drug for the wailers..I think u need a dosage WAILINQUIN

Yeah. But it is far less potent than W@NKERQUIN & M@STUBATORPILLIN + VASELIN combo that you APC zombies and paper m@stubators use.

That clown from Daura is playing with fire!! What sort of rubbish is this?!

I'm sorry, but that is NOT impressive. All I see is a lawn mower machine bolted to a steel frame. Not impressed at all. They ought to have stuck to something far more practical.

Obiagelli:
But when Boko Haram attacks, you heap the blame on the present government. yeye dey smell

Why not? Are those attacks not occur in in REAL TIME? The TAM process occurred under GEJ's watch. That is the difference.

PDP governors are working.

APC governors are .............

Okay this is getting OUT OF HAND! !! What's with all these perverts and innocent children for pete's sake?! CHILDREN!! I support the idea of penile amputation + castration without anaesthetic. Then the death sentence.

I see nothing wrong with your husband's demand. My wife serves my meals and we eat together plus joke around as she tries to seize my meat/chicken (she wins most of the time). It takes absolutely nothing from you, but adds A WHOLE LOT.

But hey, you can always reject this and watch another woman feed him with so so so sooooo much more. Your choice.

predatorX:
Now you're truly losing members up there.

how many generators in Nigeria were gas-fired, Diesel-Fired then and now? Fleabag!! If you were all schooled-up like you're probably insinuating, then i'd blame the fallen standard of education back home.

And i do not need to educate you on what is meant by Installed Capacity, Running Capacity and Generated Capacity since you think you are talking to a novice in the power sector, cat!! I can confidently say that all GEJ did with his power transformation was all filmtrick, except for the Transmission aspect which the FG still has control over.

I know say na mumu like you go believe Peter Odili, when he built his gas turbine project that cost Nigeria/Port Harcourt N100billion

Yeah! discos ain't responsible for power generation agreed. But what happens when you generate and Discos refuse to distribute?? Has your fickle mind ever thought of increased redundancies at GENCos?

you're obviously a Nairaland Troll who just loves flaunting his gabbage

Damn....I thought I saw it all. Now I know you're afflicted with a severe case of the STU.PIDS. Pity, turd face. 1st it was DISCOs generating power, now it's installed & generated capacities. Correlation: ZERO. But I'm glad you got to learn about those, even though it was obviously briefly before your IDIOCY crept back in.

Now buzz off bumwipe & go do something useful with your wretched life. Buffoon.

It is official: this APC govt fully relies on PROPAGANDA.

Isrealis just entering the fight?! Good Lawd.....News flash: ISREAL WAS ALREADY IN THIS FIGHT WITH NIGERIA AGAINST BOKO HARAM A LONG TIME AGO !!

Who trains our DSS/SSS agents? ISREAL
Who trains our Police Anti Terror Squad (ATS) operators? Isreal
Who sold the data surveillance system used by DSS? ISREAL
Who sold the weapons and gears used by DSS, Navy, Police and Airforce Special Operations Units? Isreal
Who were the first to provide counter Insurgency and counter terror training to the Nigerian Army? Isreal.

So why make it sound like Israel's just joining the fight?!

Damn APC liars..

GEJ's team members going higher and higher. Congratulations Dr. Adesina & well done Nigeria.

I understand the need to patrol our territorial waters, but this is not the way to go. There is The Nigeria Airforce Maritime Patrol unit in Benin and the Nigeria Navy Western and Eastern Naval Commands are very very active. USE THESE UNITS! If it means buying additional drones or retasking existing UAVs (with the exception of our CH-3A UCAV fleet) then do so. But getting the NEW directly involved in patrols make no sense at all.

superstar1:
Thank God you gave him kudos for one grudgingly.

You are beginning to see the light gradually.

GEJ's achievements in what way? Why did the light not improve under him and why did refineries refused to work under him?

OBJ developed the template for Power and initiated it, which GEJ was trying to claim. Likewise Railway reform. The story we heard then was, it is not who imitated but under whom the reforms are working. Same is applicable now.

This is thing with you folks. When you know you can't take anything from GEJ, you try to attribute it to OBJ. Well newsflash boy: no one's claiming the Establishment of NIPP. That is all OBJ. But GEJ administration takes credit for building MASSIVELY on that success. THAT is expected of GMB, not noise and baseless "body language" propaganda.

BTW, I never gave GMB that point "grudgingly". I'm just saying it as it is cos of the voodoo economics currently at play. As someone rightfully put it, its like starving one's children just to prove that you have money in the bank.
