There is something the APC are fighting and that is to protect themselves and investments, not for the good of common man nor to implement great economic reforms. They are afraid of what GEJ will do to them and their cronies with second tenure.
They understood what Lamido said "that GEJ is like a mad man in a petrol station and a lighter in his hand". They are yet to recover from the unbundling of NEPA, Fertilizer distribution, IPISS salary scheme, aviation reform, introduction of trains to brake the transport cartel etc. The are afraid of imminent reform in oil and gas.
To be modest, I respect GEJ for his courage to probe the fuel subsidy and stab his friends in that sector, I admire his stand in FOI, I most especial respect his selfless effort towards Petroleum Industry Bill - at which he wish to sacrifice his presidential fiats and sole right to allocate oil well in the alter of transparency and due process.

Ironically GEJ has done much, but has too little to show even in his country home. Lack of genuine infrastructural development in his 6yr of rein at a time of highest oil boom in history , deep corruption, financial recklessness and wayward priorities, insecurity, support for militancy, oil theft, ethnic and religious divide, lack of charisma, deliberate lackadiastic attitude to national issues and general poverty of personal ideas with all time nuisance called PEJ "mama peace" has marred his voodoo and deceitful government in the eyes of masses.
Poor GEJ suffering a huge roar of disapproval from the masses that hailed him 4 year ago has made him sweet at the eve of his re-election.
Even the Governor of his state is among his worse enemies as it stands now. Of course the attempt to ban TAN in Bayelsa, clamp down on GEJ's political associates and several anti party activities has show that Oga as he is fondly called is in complete parallel with GEJ this time. A fight for political survival PEJ has made it in a way that for the Governor to succeed in 2016, GEJ must go down now else the Gov. goes down on or b4 2016.
Helpless Gov. Dickson entered the Samson Siasia Sports Complex venue of the event dazed and depressed yesterday night. No body could understand what is in his mind.
On the other hand, the all powerful ex. Gov. Silva is having an upper hand again a political light weight and new entrant Ben Bruce for their senatorial fight.
GEJ will certainly win in Bayelsa but other legislative positions may not be easy for PDP.

Which one is surrender again? Wipe them now or they will multiply and spread from detention to other parts of the north.
NSA planning another cease fire to embarrass and dupe the FG millions of dollars.
Good news for Nigeria!
Bad news for some ppl though.

Honestly the man that wrote the response failed "F 9". Just like FFK, he too avoided the cardinal question; a detail analysis on how to effect your so called change backed with realistic facts and figures.

You will pay millions of less privileged Nigerians 5K monthly? How? From which source?

@ redoil: they are finding it hard to appreciated that a man does not have the minimum requirement for the office he wants to contest.

It pains me to see people who has never published any research article in their lives discard one in search of a thesis.

Well I don't know why ppl want to see a thesis, it doesn't mean U finished or did not finish a programme rather certificate does.
Most research work/ thesis are useless in the departmental cupboards else transformed into a publish able research paper, sent to a peer review "international or local" journal for months or rigorous review for rejection or acceptance and subsequent publication. The most important thing is the design, method, result of the study, conclusion and recommendations if any.
Often than not, the publication bears the names of the original researcher, supervisors and other research assistants.
In most undergraduate work, the names of the supervisors come before the name of the original owner (student) in any case, all the co authors are accorded same privilege as regards the paper even if they are 10.
In the last decade or so, many research thesis are manually type set, no soft copy nor upload in any site or blog so you may never find a link to download such materials.
For you that said that GEJ works are always co authored, remember that most researchers does not work in isolation, some papers carry the name of statistician that analyzed the work; more over the pedigree of some paper is determined by the integrity of the co authors.
Else some body can sit in a room and produce a thesis just as GMB did with his new WASC certificate.
All the same, his thesis can be pulled from the archives and scanned for all to see; if the department has not made away with the stock!

With Amechi's current pose against GEJ in Rivers state, an Mbu could have been his antidote.

The chips are down and doctorate President is bickering had on the semi literate opposition. The truth is that today's democracy can not endure the Septuagenarian, Military, Islamic and Myopic mentality of Buhari.

President JEG is by far a more modern democrat, but his highest undoing is his cold feet approach to tackling the insecurity in North East.

But remember that Niger Delta can become what NE is with a more daring consequence to Nigerian economy and existence...if the ND elders decide to play a role Northern elders played in BH. A million Buhari can't quench the fire. No region has a monopoly of enjoying peaceful rein and support while in power and the converse is also true.

The one thousand snipers vanished to thin air.
GEJ administration could have been flawless if not for Boko Haram. They dealt with him and rendered all his visions impotent. Grand conspiracy!!!

the worse may happen if care is not taken in 2015 election. The North is too hungry to return to power by hook or crook.... be warned

Historians were shock to know that barely after 5 year of civil war and genocide against Igbo they started showing signs of economic survival. They are just resilient, with Awolowo's £2 policy they had to own best properties in Nigeria few years after.

Enugu is LION BUILDING not house
Bayelsa is CREEK HAVEN not house

Both is understandable Enugu govt. House has a relation to UNN mascot which is a lion, the seat of govt of old Easter region, the capital of defunct country of Biafra- which was declared in Princes Alexandra Auditorium UNN. Igbos see lion as a symbol of might, royalty and rulership.

Bayelsa govt house has the beautiful scenery of Yenagoa Creeks at its back yard.
Thanks

Did he get for his wife, mother, children and ministers?
Nonsense junk journalism.

What is wrong with this FG. Every time they keep on deceiving Nigerians with future tens and "future continuous tens". FG will, FG is planning to, FG shall, etc.
Let us know when the project is completed! If it is corruption they will be fast to complete the deal.
$ 9.3m seized in SA is enough to build this stuff. Isn't it?

Good news!!!
But why must the APC escape? Escape to were? From which route? Road or bush or river?
The hours this operation lasted is enough for one of NAF jet fighters to fly in for an aerial support and trace down the APC to their base since BH is withdrawing possible bomb it completely.
High caliber vehicle and ammunition is not good to be in the hands of enemy!

Congrats NA though una get saboteurs ooo, they don already tell this sharia reporters the detail of the intelligence and operation. Nawaooo!

Who gave that soldier in the middle a "permit to work" how can you be in a such deadly fontline without a bullet proof vest?
NA & FG is not sincere, you mean this toy is the morale behind the age long devastation of NE by BH. You mean all these amoured tanks and SUV convoy of Shekau can't be picked on air by surveillance jets and helicopter gunships of NAF.
Somebody does not actually want to end BH to gain what? I don't know

Add this to the deployment of 12 mi35M Russian made NAF helico.pter "monsters" , mine resistant anti aircraft "demons" and the morale of our troops; BH is a thing of history. My fear is Borno may be left in ruins.
@GEJ: after using this on BH, prepare to use it on the second enemy of Nigeria and their accomplices - APC, come 2015. Then you sit put in Aso Rock and continue with your transformation agenda.
Who said Nija is not a Military power house in Africa, save only sabotage! We have the money to purchase any hardware, we have the troops, we have the influence in UN to back our deeds.
Long live NA!!!

The local production of rice, car brands and those fish(es) has increased dramatically over this period. There is an astronomical increase in rice production in Nigeria; Ada rice, Abakaliki rice, lafia rice etc. Not only rice, Nigeria has done well in

Agriculture; the price of beans has remained the same from the begging of harvest season of last year to ending of planting season of this year in Giwa market hovering over N500 difference per bag with excess of many tones on stores causing acrimony to hoarders. #Enugu planning to export pineapple was in news the other day. Cassava (garri), yam and plantain has been fairly stable over the year.

There was a boom in fish production; with restaurants, hotels, bear joints and eateries operating their own fish ponds beside. New slogan "PIONT AND KILL" became a new other in the market. Live fishes are sold in the markets of hinterlands of SE, MB & SW as fresh fish pepper soup became a new other in our homes and eateries. Virtually every fourth home in SS has a fish pond in the back yard mostly cat fish- and the business is lucrative.

In car policy; I will not speak much, I visited a friend in Nigerian Local Content in Bayelsa and found out that all their official cars is INNOSION SUVs. Many assembling plant has been proping up lately with very cheap and standard cars.

Mean while the issue of smuggling is not peculiar to any country but FG should tighteen our boards. Re deploy corrupt boarder officials.

Don't you think the President will win in APC states like:
Imo - 80%
Lagos- 60%
Nassarawa- 60%
Edo- 70%
Rivers- 60%
Etc

Greatest Lions!!!
What are the steps to take,
Which site can one access the iTranscript.

Ok

Though he was not fair to APC and "old North" his long epistle was a delight to ready, I wish I could write better.

The problem in the health sector is not that doctors want a better package, NO!
The went on strike to protest the new package FG has for other health workers under the body JOHESU.
Have u read their demands? Hazard allowance is among the last. That other health workers should not be allowed to reach the post of director, should not be appointed as consultants, Minister of health, should not contest for CMD or CMAC , should not skip grade level 11 etc.
Selfish isn't it?
Now that ebola has killed a doctor, it killed the nurse too. What of a physiotherapist that has full body contact with all his patients, what of the Med. Lab Scientist that collect and process the blood, urine, shit, semen and other body fluids aren't there own Hazard allowance suppose to be more?

So classic gals existed those days

I think this news is sponsored by the VC Prof. Batho Okolo.
He is the tyrant, he is a monster, he is dubious and corrupt to toes, he is a crony of Nison Wike.
Before the appoint of Prof. Enejere, students had stage a riot against him, the highest protest in the history of UNN, his residence was razed, his fleet of convoy touched and other important places in UNN & Nsukka town, Benue-Enugu express way was blocked for hours. He was recommended for sack saved by some politicians from Enugu. He returned and banned SUG, expelled some ring leaders, increased acceptance fee from 6K to 25k deleted sch fee receipt from internet.
Last year student of Enugu campus force through heavily armed soldiers at the sch gate blocking their way to NTA to protest another increase of fees, yearly ICT/Afri hub fee of 5k, internet cloud 12K, virtual library ?K.
This year the host community, lecturers and some students have staged about 4 protest to remove him rather Nisom Wike suspended the Pro chancellor, for exposes him. The allegation is that VC exhibits high handedness and corruption in the school, no budget for running of the school, punitive transfer and suspension of staff, incessant increase in school fees, non payment of allowances, sale of admission bw 500K to 1M for health courses etc, siphoning UNN allocation to contest for Senate in 2015.
BATHO MUST GO!!!
##singing with placard##

The administration is just 2 yrs and 8 months agreed, but let him (GEJ) desist from APC propaganda and distraction so that all this projects awarded and others said to be at stages of completion can be completed soonest with picture backing up the claims.
I am in Zaria, those roads they mentioned are real. The problem with the NW is that some govs has refused to perform, since they are muslims no body care about them the pressure is on FG always, even as the current presido is an "unbeliver".
God bless GEJ for his good intentions.

@ d bard: Just mention any Physiotherapy department you know in Nigeria that do not run clinic daily and you win the argument.
Clinics physicians run is to ask for new complaints if not: the drugs is repeated in the folder and prescription sheet U go and buy!
For surgeons they operate at least once a week rarely do you see any team operating twice per week in any tertiary hospital else they are on call.
Physios do not run shift ask any body. Nurses job is more stressful of them all: your time can not even Nurse your sister not to talk of chronic debilitating ill strangers.

@ Kachi: yes the president has a personal doctor, just as he has a personal physiotherapist.

@ Citizenisb: Hmmm "slaves" indeed.

@ Doc Sholz: Eyaaah! Poor NMA, they have the interest of Nigerians at heart, but NRD just came back from strike nah.
After JOHESU meeting on Monday their MOU with FG go get K-leg.

@Dr OBD: you may research to find that the developed nations segregate and pay their health worker in terms of hours spent on patients irrespective of your professional alignment in the sector.
They are surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists, dentists etc not physicians.
Consultant physicians in Nigerian comes to work at average of 2days per week, do 3 for 4hrs ward round or clinic and go to their private clinic, telling residents to call whenever any thing serious comes up.
A DPT spends average of 1 to 2hrs to see a single patient.
