Nice firework.
Was any APC e-rat in the tank? We need to watch NL for any of them that is missing to know those caught in the firework.

And u love Gej because of what? I hate to see people commenting about certain ethnic/religion hating or loving a certain person, people like that are goats... The so called yorubas love what they see and failure is not part of it... Enough of ethic and religious sentiments, Nigeria need a better leader and we'll march to see that happen. By the way, the so called yorubas never supported Obasanjo, that is even their own... Yorubas might just hate traitors.

The Yorubas never supported Obasanjo?

Please remind us who was the consensus presidential candidate of the yoruba party, AD, in 2003.

All nigerians show some form of tribalism, Yorubas inclusive.

Sends the husband home. 10 minutes adult play will sure help.

Reski:
This is an act of treason. What does the millitary have to do with elections. The police, Nscdc and Dss are enough to provide security for elections. The millitary should go on with their supposed operation to end an insurgency that is making our armed forces look like a millitia force. Besides it is even unconstitutional for soldiers to be on the streets on election day.
Finally this blackmail of inec by security chiefs is an act of treason and should not go unpunished in order to bring sanity to our security establishments.
For refusing to perform their constitutional responsibilities and allowing themselves to be tools in the hands of the ruling party thus bringing their organisations to disrepute.
The attorney General should do the needfull by ordering for their arrest and subsequent prosecution in line with constitutional provisions.
God bless Nigeria

At this rate, this guy will soon burst a vein. Mr man cool down, 6 weeks is not far, 45% of eligible voters have not collected their pvc, where is your patriotism?

If Jega like let him not distribute pvc to the south in the coming 6 weeks, if after 6 weeks the pvc has not been distributed, the military will ask for another postponement to enable them commence and conclude peace keeping operations in Ukraine .

Buhari should worry about how he will appease the Niger Delta to even allow production of oil at the current level. I think Nigeria will experience the true meaning of making a country ungovernable if Buhari is imposed on the nation.

And how is APC even going to produce 4 million barrels a day when we have an OPEC quota far less than that, why produce 4 million a day when Opec will not allow you to put that much in the market? these APC goons and their stupid promises, just throwing promises everywhere hoping we will fall for the lies.

Gas lines and oil installations will surely be blown up by folks in the Niger delta if Jonathan loses, they must have learnt how to bring down a government by what Boko haram is doing. With pipelines blown up, electricity generation and government revenues will suffer, this will rubbish all the gains made by the amnesty program and set us back by at least a decade. So APC should really think about how to manage the ND, not how to increase oil production.

There are many states where less than 50% of registered voters have been able to collect their pvc. INEC had 4 yrs to prepare for this election, why wait till the last minute to start distributing pvc.

They should postpone the election until a substantial number of the electorates have collected their pvc.

There are more than 2 parties contesting. It is not compulsory that you vote for the largest party, you can search for a candidate from the other parties that best exemplifies your wishes and vote for such a candidate. As for me if I were to vote I will vote for Jonathan. Elections in Nigeria is winner take all. Buhari winning the election will automatically make him the strongest man in Nigeria and in the APC, he will have the freedom to bring in northerners to control vital sections of the economy, the same northerners who has messed us up previously.

I don't think it is the right time to allow northerners to dictate the pace of our growth. As an example Yar Ardua government stifled the electricity reforms started by obj by 2 yrs with useless probes even though they were in the same party.

Also Buhari is just the wrong candidate. We need a nationalist, you can accuse Jonathan of anything but you can not accuse him of favouring his region, you can not say the same tthing about Buhari, his tenure at PTF saw him grossly favouring his north west region, that is not character of a nationalist.

danies1941:
Sir, not about asking anybody-I was alive and well too by God's Grace.

I was not talking about public school-I said Private Secondary school HOSTEL-who pays school fees in public school in Nigeria and private school HAS NEVER BEEN FREE anywhere in the world.

The point I was making is when you said people were starving and there was famine. You mentioned famine and compared Nigeria to 1984 Ethiopia -the worst case of famine in the whole world in the last 100 years. That is IMPOSSIBLE. Not in Nigeria-whether under Shagari or Buhari or Jonathan -there is not and has never been Famine in Nigeria and never will be by God's Grace.

Who was starving under Buhari in Nigeria? Who sir? That is just not true. Who can you starve in Nigeria when if you throw corn on the ground along the Lagos -Benin Expressway-without even attending to it-corn will grow-talkless of my village where there is pawpaw, banana, growing freely. Even goats eat vegetable freely on the road side.

An economy where the Naira was 80 kobo to 1 dollar was and is good to me.

I am not one of those who will say that President Jonathan has done nothing-no way. He has made achievements and its left to voters to decide;but the period December 31st 1983 to August 27th 1985 was a glorious period in Nigeria's history-when one was proud to be a Nigerian.

You need to read what Seun posted again, this time read it slowly and fully. It contains external perspective of the disastrous Buhari regime.

You may be alive during Buhari's regime but it is very clear from what you have written that you were too young at the time to even know what was happening.

Asking why Nigerians should starve in the midst of good climatic conditions puts you as someone who is and has been isolated from the reality of what Nigerians have endured during the onslaught of Buhari. Why do you think Nigerians queued for days to be able to get bread, sugar, rice, vegetable oil, salt and soap. Do people queue for days to buy basic necessities if there is no scarcity of such goods? Or are you going to claim that Nigerians were not queuing for days to buy those things as if we were in a war ravaged country?

Buhari grossly lack the competence required to solve the economic problems of a third world country like Nigeria, his performance in the 80's and the fact that he has not even seen the need to improve himself in the last 30 yrs confirms that we should be looking for someone much better than Buhari

danies1941:
Starving? Where? Food was a luxury? Starvation? Which Nigeria was that? Are you sure you were not living in Ethiopia in 1984? Because thats where food was a luxury in 1984. Bro tin milk was 20kobo. Newspapers were 15kobo. Peugoet 504 was N9000. The dollar was 75 kobo. My dad's gardner-Baba Alex (a Ghanaian) was earning N200 a month and lived in a 3 bedroom apartment. My brother's school fees at a private secondary school hostel was barely N50 per term.
Are you sure you were living in Nigeria?

Why do my people refuse to study History. This lack of history is really killing Nigeria. Very soon we will hear that Lawrence Anini was a Pastor and Dimka was a former President.
Bisi Akande see what you caused by sacking all the history teachers when you were Governor!
Ethiopia's famine was in 1984 NOT 1980. A simple google search will show you this. Nigeria HAS NEVER experienced famine. No one was starving in 1984 Nigeria. Haba.

You want me to study history to know what I saw with my own eyes? experience is the best teacher they say, I have experienced Buhari's rule previously, maybe it is time for you to experience it. However wise people learn from the experience of others, fools always want to learn from their own experience.

Did you see it stated anywhere in what I wrote that Nigeria experienced famine, Nigerians starved under Buhari, not because of famine but because of Buhari's stupid economic policies.

Your brother paid 50 naira as school fees, maybe you should ask him what he remembered about Buhari's regime, he should be able to guide you as an older brother. I paid 30 naira as school fees under Buhari, during shagari's regime we were not paying school fees. Introdution of 30 naira school fees by Buhari made some families to withdraw their children from school. The best female student in my class was withdrawn because of the 30 naira school fees Buhari introduced.

man, I do not need to study history to know that Buhari was a devil. If in doubt pick up fela's beast of no nation and learn from the song. Peace

I was in secondary when Buhari overthrew Shagari. In summary I will never wish any person like Buhari to ever come near the sit of power in Nigeria again.

Nigerians thought they were suffering under the last year of Shagari's rule, they only knew the true meaning of suffering under Buhari.

1. For starters he changed the colour of the currency forcing everyone to go to the bank within 3 days to change their money. At the bank, you deposit your money and money is rationed to you. The bank simply refused to give people their money, so folks had money in the bank but can not collect it and were starving.
2. Buhari brought price control, he fixed the price of essential commodities below the cost price, meaning all traders will have to sell at a loss. Traders refused to sell at a loss and locked their shops in the day only sneaking out at night to sell to those willing to buy at a fair price. Buhari responded by using soldiers to break up people's shops and selling private goods below the cost price. Many people went out of business, resulting in long queues and starvation.

3. Buhari stopped the importation of both finished goods and essential raw materials needed by industries, factories had to either close down or seriously downsize, the effect was massive unemployment and long queues for essential commodities, things like bread, vegetable oil, salt, soap, sugar e.t.c People stayed on quees morning till night for several days without being able to buy essential commodities. Some people fainted on the queues. Many people committed suicide from being unable to provide for their families. Many families died from eating hurriedly prepared cassava due to hunger. While in 1980 we were laughing at Ethiopia due to the famine ravaging them, in 1984 we started starving, not because of famine but because Buhari's stupid economic policies meant starvation for the nation.

4. Buhari used soldiers to terrorize civilians, people were routinely flogged on the street, soldiers even entered peoples homes every weekend to flog them all in the name of forcing them to do environmental sanitation every weekend, The little economic activity that was not killed by Buhari's tyrannical economic policies were further damaged by a reduced work week forced on the nation by the mandatory Sanitation days every weekend.

5. in today's Nigeria, if you are hard working you will be able to feed yourself even if you don't become rich, during buhari's regime, food was a luxury many could not afford no matter how hard working they were, it was a regime of brutality, retrenchment and gloom. And the guy did not give a damn if everyone dies from starvation.

6. To get a fair idea of the economic situation was under Buhari, think of what happened in Zimbabwe a few years back, shops were without supplies to sell, the few supplies available became very expensive. the difference is that Zimbabwe's condition was largely due to sanctions imposed on them by western nations, in Nigeria's case it was due to sanctions imposed on Nigerians by Buhari and to make matters worse, Buhari was using soldiers to flog starving Nigerians even on bread queues, such a heartless man.

dayo23:
Last minute PDP hussle to win @ all cost!
Sai Buhari
Sai Osibanjo

I pity your life.

So to you Jonathan failed on security, so you would rather vote for Bokoharam negotiator and mentor.

You said Jonathan failed to stop fulani killing and you think the person to stop fulani killing is Buhari, thesame Buhari who went to the Governor of Oyo state to lie that Fulani herders were killed in Oyo while it was the Fulani that were killing the locals.

How much do they actually pay you people to campaign against the good of your own country?

carlvon:
Nigerian youths shouting buhari for change....think,think,think....gej isn't performing as expected doesn't mean he's not performing.
Apc isn't fielding the right candidate for presidency.
What will buhari achieve that he couldn't achieve for 20 months in power.
In as much as am not praising gej,I'd rather have him there until the right messiah comes on board....definitely not buhari
My problem with gej is that he should have just done one singular thing since six years and that is fix electricity.
But all the same,he has himself to blame if he loses this election

If he had fixed electricity, some would have said he should have fixed the airports, or provided universities for the states without universities or fixed agriculture.

Jonathan solved problems in Transportation, agriculture and education, all of a sudden those don't count. I Pity Nigerians who are asking for a buhari who is the very worst candidate to think of if one is looking for development

Human wants are insatiable, the problem of inadequate power has been with us since the 70s, no one solved it, why crucify Jonathan for not solving it? At least deregulation of the power sector has been solved, that is a big step in solving the power peoblem

Even though Buhari is semi literate he should know that avoiding being served with a court summon is not an effective way of avoiding justice. The summon can be simply published on a newspaper and it will be considered that he has been served.

Maybe this was Buhari's plan all along when he said those asking for his certificate should go to court and remain there.

The weakling never planned to defend the fraudulent affidavit he deposed to and sent to INEC.

Also remember it is secret ballot system. So don't be afraid to vote. To safeguard yourself do not tell anyone who you voted for.
So if you are in the north and you vote Goodluck, if APC murderers are around, form deaf and dumb and don't tell them who you voted for.

yuio33:
Why did Buhari not pick someone from Ghana or togo as vice president

He could have done that and there is nothing INEC would have done about it, since INEC says they do not have the power to disqualify a candidate.
Buhari would have also told Nigerians who oppose the move to go to court and remain there.

bigass:
Jonathan must not enter. The suffer go too much

Abeg make we hear word. If Jonathan show interest to enter now you go say no? Instantly you go wide your leg.

otbliz:
These few things are involved?

1. Shagari is still holding the grudge since the coup.

2. GMB stayed for a couple of years, which is not
Enough to effect a change.
3. if GMB was good enough he would have lasted longer as head of state, so at this old age why should he think he can do better? (Shagari has a point).

4. On the other note, GEJ is not capable of fighting corruption nor Boko Haram, (the only problems we face in naija as of present).
5. GEJ has stayed for 6yrs already, and he still is clueless. Promising the same shit he promised 4yrs back.

6. I don't give a damn right now, the change is not buhari, the way forward is not Jonathan. So here we are in naija JUST CLUELESS

Where did you guys bring this lie from. Jonathan will be 5 yrs in office by February, he has not yet even been 5 yrs in office yet every where you turn, you hear lies that Jonathan has been in office for 6 yrs.

lynn79:
I have fungi afffecting my roses and other flowers and I have been advised by a gardener that Lara Force is the pesticide to use. Is this correct, and if so, where can I get to buy in Lagos?

Fungi is not a pest so you can't use a pesticide on it. What you need is a fungicide.

Use Google to learn about the fungi affecting your plants then search for an applicable fungicide online.

BTW what make you think it is fungi infection.

TY Danjuma? I remember that guy, the one who was tasked to protect Aguiyi Ironsi but turned around and killed him. The guy who got a gift of an oil block from Abacha free of charge and sold it for 500 million US dollars.

When did Danjuma become patriotic?

HugeCock:
D letter is fake

Don't be too sure about that.

The person who signed the letter is on facebook since 2013 and on Facebook has a friend working at WAEC Ghana, so it is plausible that he might also be working at WAEC Ghana

shit, ok

Try the search this time with Mohamadu Buhari, if not found, try searching for both names for the exam written between 1951 to 1960, maybe pa Buhari forgot the date he wrote the exam.

If you don't find it in the 10yrs time span, then search list of registered candidates for 2015 May/June exam, once he registers for the exam we can backdate the certificate by 50 years.

See how Buhari just dey disgrace us
The Ghanians will just be laughing at us now, while playfully searching WAEC archive for the non existent certificate

Change2015:
Obiageli,

You might see from the link that it does not appear to be more than a paper project at the moment. No time lines, no confirmation of financing raised, and I wonder, if the existing power stations have gas supply problems, what will fuel this project? As for the credulity of a $4bn project being sited in delta state... OK, it will take more than a YouTube video to convince me, especially when the governor is on his way out.

#change
#GMB

Delta state has what it takes to set up power plants for its citizens. Construction of some of the power plants has already started, I don't hold brief for any govt, but the deregulation policy has made it possible for a state govt to cater for the electricity need of its people without waiting for Abuja.

We should latch on the deregulation policy and ask our state governments to do more, we have all been clamouring for fiscal federalism, with more powers devolved to the states, more power has been devolved to the states on electricity generation, transmission and distribution, they should use the newly devolved power and generate electricity for their people.

Obiagelli:
I will have to do a bit of digging before i accept.

Btw

Why should States bother about providing electricity in a privatized sector expecially when the federal government refuse to sell either of the Lagos discos to the state government.

Secondly are States allowed by this new law to set up transmission and distribution companies?

You may choose not to see anything good about the pdp government, but the country has moved beyond the point we where in 1999.

Electricity has been deregulated. we will see the benefit of the deregulation policy in time to come.

The deregulation as started by Obasanjo allowed states to go into generation and distribution, Jonathan enlarged the state scope to allow states to transmit power within their states, Transmission across state boundaries is still under the federal government.

I prefer states to be more involved in things like power because state governments are closer to the people, from PH, it will be easier to grab Amaechi at Ubima than to go looking for Jonathan in bayelsa or Buhari in Daura.

Obiagelli:
Why is the lagos ipp prevented from selling electricity to corporate bodies on marina?

You are not up to date. That was during obasanjo's time. The country has since moved on. The electricity sector has been fully deregulated by Jonathan.

Unfortunately your Lagos ipp agreement were signed before the deregulation so they have to abide by whatever terms of agreement they agreed to then.

With the deregulation, state government should now concentrate on giving electricity to their people instead of sitting back and waiting for Abuja

The transaction Amadi power plant sells power to local companies in port Harcourt

Obiagelli:
Which kind lie be this? Whatever any state produce goes to the National grid.

Stop these lies

Clap for yourself, your just won an award for ignorance. Is the Omoku/Portharcourt transmission line embarked upon by the Rivers state government part of the National grid?

Tell me something, do they select ignorant people to join APC or they become ignorant after joining APC.

http://www.deltastate.com.ng/Projects/ipp.html

read the above link and learn something about the off grid electricity transmission being planned for Delta state. Maybe it will cure some of your ignorance

KINGTELLER:
Has state transmission for local consumption been enabled ?

Transmission within a state by the state government is allowed. That is why rivers state under Odili commenced the Omoku/Portharcourt transmission line, unfortunately Amaechi did not follow up on some of Odili's plans. Amaechi also commenced the Eleme / Portharcourt transmission line based on the permission. Delta state has a state wide transmission infrastructure in the works.

State governors with foresight can latch on the changes in the electricity sector and provide electricity for their people.

Thank God Jonathan has deregulated the electricity sector, your state governor and local government chairmen can now generate electricity and distribute to you. So before you ask someone in Abuja about electricity, first ask your local folks first why they have not loved you enough to get electricity for you.

Op hope you well?

All your plans na illegal plans. I pity your girlfriend. You are already planning suicide.

Anyway to make money for Nigeria easy. Just produce "pure " water and sell at 10 naira to 1 million Nigerians per month, that na 10m monthly, even Jonathan salary nor reach like that. Next produce baby food and sell to 1 million Nigerians at 100 naira per can per month, that na 100 million per month be that. That easy because Nigerians dey born like rat, so customers dey everywhere.

With the second scheme above, banks will be chasing you to come and collect loan. Just collect the loan and start forming big boy and start massive importation of everything just like Dangote, you don arrive be that without breaking any law.

BAZOJOHN:
Pls here is the picture of the fertilizer.thanks.

This pickin, na wa for you. So you nor know the difference between npk 15 15 and npk 15 15 15. That was one of the reasons I wanted you to post the pictures. Now correct the title of your thread, what you are selling is npk 15 15 15. No one makes npk 15 15.

BAZOJOHN:
,Am suprised hearing this,many people pple just have this nagative mind.we never told anybody to pay any money ahead.its a
company,come inspect the goods in warehouse,get satisfied and make order they will load it right there in your present .i wlll definately down load the picture online today.anyway i dont blame you.whats happening around hv polluted evrybody mind,no trust anymore.thanks.God bless.

In today's world, blindly trust a nigerian at your own risk. As for me, I have told you I am interested in buying 5 tons. But I must convince myself that you have fertiliser. So you better start by posting the pictures, after that I fit even ask for the name of your village and the name of your great grand father just to confirm that you are genuine.
