Another "PhD" dullard.
Long story.
How much is a Kongo of garri jare?

The dumb reason given can only come from the usual place. The useless party.

Out of their mouth...........

Both of them are Cringeworthy. Whenever they open their mouth, I cringe.
How the heck did Nigeria degenerate up to this point.
We used to call those military boys stupid names but they weren't this stupidd. In fact most of them knew the right thing to do as proven by murtala mohammed. They simply chose the other path.
Jonathan on the hand does not even have the basic sense of what is right and what is wrong. The man simply lacks the qualities required to function as an individual in a lawful society.This man actually thinks that corruption is cool.
A non fully developed individual.
A total dysfunctional nobody.

At best, you can call him PRIMITIVE . But the real appellation would be to call him what he really is.
a PSYCHOPATH.
Obasanjo had progressive professionals and technocrat within his government. Instead of making the right choices, he went for primitive loyalty in yar adua and this dysfunctional president.
IF HE QUACKS LIKE ME, HE MUST BE LIKE ME.

It is not surprising that those progressive professional and technocrat like Ekwesili, El rufai and Soludo are still loyal and grateful to him while those primitive conservatives like Anenih, David mark have moved on to war with the next devil to dine with.

Let them continue their madness. Four friends of mine who couldn't be bothered to vote,have resolved to do so

Nope.
It was created because of your power drunkenness, mismanagement, clan-dictatorship and corruption.

The Nigerian army is/was not in shape to even go head to head with ordinary Chad. Not to talk of oil rich and the French backed Cameroon. Wars against neighbours almost always end up in stalemate.

In my area,
TANOIDS ARE ENJOYING 24HRS ELECTRICITY IN THEIR DREAMS

I love tinubu's politics. As an oodua nationalist, the significance is not lost on me.
It goes like this.

"KEEP YOUR SHITTY NIGERIAN POLITICS AND POLICIES OUT OF THE SOUTH WEST OR YOU ARE GOING TO GET IT."
give what is due and keep out,simple.

So next time when some unmandated idiotts goes to Abuja to convince aso rock to deploy federal might in the SW, he will understand the repercussions.
Jonathan is getting it right now.
"WE SIMPLY DO NOT LIKE THE UNITARIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA as an institution.
Regardless of the occupier.

Ijebu stingy? Then you do not know the ijebu.
That stereotype developed from the total domination by the ijebus, of all the ancient trade routes leading to the coast and other ancient West African empires.
This domination made the ijebus wealthy from trade and the taxes levied on those utilising those routes.

Good reading

Good job.
Hopefully ambode will go nitro on education, health and consolidate on the job already done. It a shame that all the other states do not have as much responsibilities, but in most of the other states, you will be hard pressed to find any meaningful project

Not here in the SW. We are heavily clued up with the electorate having its mind in the right places and on the right stuff. The good stuff. Without the federal Nigeria, most of these corrupt folks will be roasting in prison

Yes he has.
Even beyond how he was expected
Let the former US ambassador to Nigeria do the talking.

Seth D. Kaplan, writing in the opinion pages of the January 7 New York Times, observes that by 2015, half the world’s population living on less than $1.25 a day will reside in fragile states. These poor contribute disproportionately to political instability, even terrorism. Nigeria is a fragile state, and the “worst run of the world’s most populated countries.”

Lagos, the commercial and cultural capital of the country, has a population of more than 17 million. By comparison, New York’s five boroughs numbered 8.337 million in 2012. Most Lagos residents are impoverished and large portions of the city are built in a swamp. Nevertheless, Kaplan suggests that Lagos may be a model for how fragile states might begin to succeed. Kaplan points out that in fragile countries such as Nigeria, central governments are often remote from their citizenry and politics is dominated by elites struggling for a larger piece of the pie. Not so, at least to the same extent, in urban agglomerations like Lagos where more localized elections take place.

[b]Kaplan’s strategy (shared by many) is devolution of power from the corrupt national government to state and local governments and the creation of a local culture that holds governments accountable. [/b]Devolved power (under Nigeria’s 1999 constitution) means that the Lagos electorate can and does demand specific services, thereby encouraging candidates to address practical problems. [/b]Numerous Nigerian interlocutors have told me that something approaching a civic contract is indeed emerging in Lagos: citizens pay taxes and the city government provides services. Over the past decade public transportation, garbage collection, and street cleaning have dramatically improved. The Lagos state government has also become friendlier to business.

I would also suggest that Lagos has been fortunate in its leadership. The current governor of Lagos state, Babatunde Fashola has vision, native political skills, and an eye for good management. So too did his predecessor, Bola Tinubu. So, one good governor succeeded another, though subsequently they have fallen out with each other. Kaplan also argues that in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural city like Lagos, politicians cannot afford to pit ethnic and religious groups against one another. Both Tinubu and Fashola have emphasized what unites Lagos, not what divides it. Finally Lagos has had a long tradition of opposition to whatever government is installed in Abuja. Among other consequences, Lagos has had to meet its costs of government largely through local taxation rather than through oil revenue doled out by the central government. But, the nagging question remains how much of the progress in Lagos is the result of the personalities and skills of the last two governors, rather than a fundamental transformation of its political culture.

Lies.
Do not take these fraudulent polls for granted Ted.
They are wheeling out these false numbers in order to prepare the mind of the international community for their rigging.

You did not add the tens of billions of dollars in unremitted crude oil earning and the hundreds of billions of naira in inappropriated earnings from MDAs and other parastatals.

Primitive.

Best governor Is amaechi. I will remove oshiomole from the ND category. He does not get ND kind of money.
2 flyovers and a stadium does not make good governance.
Amaechi's investments in education and health simply means that he has secured the future,and reduced the number of future dumb jonathanians.
Many of the kids he sent on scholarship to USA,UK, Canada, Australia are already graduating,settling down and picking up jobs to gain useful experience.
That is over 6000 kids on government scholarships
The rest are running villages when compared to amaechi's responsibilities.
Port harcourt is well positioned to attract the sort of jobs being created in lagos and ogun. Rivers is also positioned to continue to be the hub of the oil industry.

I like ibom people a lot.many ibomites spend/ spent a substantial chunk of their lives in the SW and it is not uncommon to find yoruba speakers amongst them. They are usually warm and friendly. They are also the closest to the liberal dispositions of the SW. People who actually practice " one Nigeria" in speech and in deed.
However this apkabio is the antithesis of what I perceived akwa ibom stood for. He is nothing short of an power drunk egomaniac.
Attah was a governor too but he leads a life of decency and respect.
The earlier the citizens of the state put him in his place, the better for them.

we now know the true character of all the Ill educated,peppersoup,so called activist like this man and odumakin.

Jonathan is deceiving himself.
Betrayal?
Do the people have any covenant with him?
Before you start putting up trash again, let us leave his mismanagement and his corrupt government aside.
1 did Jonathan betray the SW voters who voted for him in 2011?
2 Did he betray those who rescued him from under Turai's wrapper or not.
3 Did he betray Obasanjo and go back on his words.
4 Did he betray the millions of displaced people from the NE and the middle belt.( dereliction of duty).

Gathering a few unmandated and sharing stolen wealth with them does not amount to a CONVENANT with the people.
His convenant is with the peddlers of snake oil.
He is wasting his time in the SW.

The state is over populated.

Hallmark08:
Once a vibrant lawyer but his public utterance is showing his ineptitude as a chief security officer of the state, RIP to the dead tho!

His comment wasn't directed to those without the aptitude to digest it's content.

Stop wasting people's time with Tweets from the Pea - brained.

Darkness can and will be banish within 2 years of a western region or an independent nation of the yorubas.
Only the uninformed will fail to appreciate the amount of damage the Nigerian state is doing to the SW.
For most part of the country, the darkness is an improvement over their state prior to independence.
For the SW, the state of affairs is simply retrogression.
We have never had it this bad after being held back.

Only one way to determine.
A debate.
Fashola vs goodluck

The thought processes of a 10 year old kid

Shame, shame,shame.
Distracting Nigeria on a daily basis is what they are good at.

Who buys a rotten product?

Why not include Peter obi, cosmos manuka, nzeribe and the others on the list?

The difference being that the names you listed run legitimate business which they are protecting from hawks and thieves within the government, while authur eze only exist for corrupt government money and rent seeking.
Nothing he touches ever works.
1 Refinery maintenance contracts.
2 stifling of geometric power in aba despite not having the organisational capacity to run a power company.
3 defence contracts.
4 oil industry

Tunde Bakare : Jonathan's destiny is to bankrupt Nigeria
