# NEVER AGAIN

I have been "sitting on the fence" in GMB's ascent. Just 3 days ago my friend TK called me around 6am; he was inside GEJ's transformation train at Enugu heading to Port-Harcourt. I could not believe it. Although a railway line passes behind our house at Ebeano tunnel estate close to railway cooperation Enugu and I know so well when a Chinese company was working on the rail line; APC has made me believe that all those effort is a hoax. I read articles how a train is taken with truck from one terminal to the other for picture and commissioning, i was easily gullible because i have long lost interest in the government due to her chronic fraud, corruption and insincerity.

TK said that the ticket and booking starts as early as 5:30am but the train leaves 7:00am dot. By 12 noon, barely 5 hours as good as or better than a shuttle bus; he was already at Aba. About 1 hour later he was in PH. He shared some picture with me on FB.

I now believe that transformation of transport sector; rail, road and aviation is REAL!!!

The one that interest me most is our dear IGIRIGI "ogu". The pride of a nation lies on her technology. It also shows the level of utilization of her human (brains) and material resources and deposits.

Igirigi ogu - a Biafran name!

Politics in Nigeria has gone to Dogs.
So Buhari don't appreciate the state of over 70% of federal roads? Cos assess road to MMI airport was not done.

So the minimum wage elevated to 18K is not a thing?

Can somebody tell Buhari that his man Fashola bought same Jeep as Oduah even more costly!

So the 14 federal universities and 105 Almajiri school built for his brethren is a scam.

Now how many jobs has APC Governors been creating in a year in their states? Or is it GEJ that is stopping them.

Left for me the Man has even out performed his promises.

GEJ has a plan for Nigeria. Let's support him.

GEJ is too gentle how can APC concoct with INEC to deny his supporters of PVC yet he is calm.
If it was during OBJ time, he could have clamped APC to a conner by now.
Imagine Tinubu from opposition having the gut to declair APC as winner already. Who born him; make such assertion in 2011?

Life imprisonment plus death by hanging to end his life.

Thank Mr. President
Congrats Mr. President

So if I want to rig election, I will take ballot papers to school and a class fill with people of different believe and background, inside and exam hall... If certificate less GMB can try it.
Besides be educated; all ballot paper for the forthcoming election has specific color, serial number, and codes for a particular polling unit. And number of votes in a unit must be equal or less than the number of PVC accredited and thumb print verified from card reader and electronic voters register...if not the PO labels such PU as NULL and VIOD.
Even the Govn and lecture you are accusing knows this better than you.

The 2 guys above me ... read the post in reverse order. APC has no stake in d coal city. GEJ will garner 85% in Enugu. If not because of Fr. Mbaka saga, O42 could have delivered an incredible 98% as usual.

Finally GEJ's assertion that OBJ behaves like a motor park taut is true. Why tear your PDP membership card in public, before the press men.

With all these testimonies last year people are still arguing that FG roads were not reconstructed. Some are bent on seeing only the negatives.

@ Mrmetoo: the last town hall meeting held in osun, Osibanjo said incoming APC govt. will reverse the import duties imposed on tucumbo cars. "Which was an important component of the new automobile industry reform". Check it up.

The whole scheme is messed up; both state and local government awards have been shelved in many states since ....
Imagine states even owe corpers that monthly stipends ask Gov. Amechi and co.
This country is just meant for politicians and politicians alone.

For the doubting thomases; I did house job in Zaria and served in Bayelsa State after, I has been opportune and satisfied to use the following federal roads in the past 2 years.
1. Abuja to Abaji to Lokoja newly dualized lanes.
2. Oweri to Onitsha
3. Kano to Maiduguri
4. Some parts of East-west road
5. Some parts of PH to Enugu express
6. Enugu to Ebonyi to Calabar express
7. Okene new express road
*** there are so many Federal government maintained express roads in the North and middle belt.
I don't know the total distance done but I appreciate the quality of road done by this administration.

The most important thing the reconstruction or the moribund rail line. That is more capital intensive than the "tocumbor" trains as the OP claimed. APC and lies!!! The monorail in PH and Metro in Lagos which way?
Praise the praise worthy and condemn the otherwise.

At the place I registered in Enugu only one out of four of us have seen his. Tired of going to check in all registration centers around and the local government.

He has done so well only that the opposition in Nigeria is just after taking over power. They have succeeded to buy over the media and conscience of the gullible.

If all this is true, there is a need for GEJ to direct ICPC to urgently investigate them...but unfortunately he will not. That is why we are saying that he is incompetent.

@Kestolove95: Be more intellectual refute the claims by OP. Or desist to debate like your Messiah GMB!

For those claiming to be expert in research, claiming that the graph by OP is lie because AI is formed 1993 and can't handle data based on 1985 governance; you are just showing your ignorance in an area called RETROSPECTIVE research.

Based on National Statistics, Archives and Documentaries you can research or make publications of an era 50 years before your born.

Some of the writers of award winning War Novels were never at the front line.

Let APC tell us their stand on: FOI, PIB, automobile policy (Osibanjo has said Government will scrap it), IPSS salary scheme, Fertilizer E wallet, Aviation reform, unbundling of NEPA, Railway Cooperation, National Conference Report, Nigerdelta Amnesty Programme; to mention but a few! Why not criticize Government reform and policies instead of the personality of Mr. President.

There is something the APC are fighting for; 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. Of course the same people that spearheaded corruption in Nigeria suddenly wake up and start shouting foul. "CHANGE" is their new slogan. All of them has been in power before non of them has something to show.

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, partial removal of subsidy in petroleum products 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 fiat and sole right to allocate oil well in the alter of transparency and due process.

Let us take a look back, during Obj tenure, there was so much noise about corruption yet no big profile case was convicted, EFCC was used to victimize governors, over 70% of them was charged with one corruption case or the other, Gov. Nnamani had over 109 count charges yet no single person was convicted nor a kobo returned to government. GEJ's govt. has at least returned some money from corruption charges. Let us not remember some corruption cases involving the president himself Halibortn, siemens, power plants etc.

Let APC tell us their stand on current government reform and policies.

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
