mouth piece of the gods. when death wants to kill a dog it doesn't allow it perceive shit smell. so also when the gods want to kill a man, they first of all make him impotent. fayose! fayose!! fayose!!! how many times did I call you. remember nnamdi kalu oh. you have freedom of speech but your freedom after speech is what I can't guarantee... Idiamin

Only cowards keep mute when evil engulf the land. Fayose was only exposing the true nature of Buhari to low-brains like you. Amaechi did more than these to Jonathan and your gods did not kill him. Only the will of God shall prevail on Fayose's life. OK?

Indiscipline did cut short his career, he seems to have bounced back as l did remember the media awash with the story of him being broke some years back.

What indiscipline? That's how some of you arrogates self-efforts and self-discipline to your successes in life. Etim Esin might have made some mistakes but he was just an unfortunate dude during his playing days. There were so many sport personalities who did not deserve prosperity because of their lifestyles but God showered mercy and successes on them. If you succeed in life, it's by God grace and not by been careful or self-controlled. There are so many 2:1 graduates who earns stipends while Third Classed are swimming in millions. May God shower His grace on us. Etim Esin was down but he's back on his feet.

Aspiring for lofty political, economic and leadership positions is commendable but never aspire for positions you don't have the wherewithal to handle. This govt has beaten more than it can chew.

Spending one's ample time in highlighting the unpreparedness and inefficiencies of this adminstration is a waste of energy and data. Events in the last 5 months (or 8 months post election) only point to one altruism; Buhari cum APC never had a handy blueprint on how to tackle Nigeria's economic, political and sociocultural upheavals even while in opposition. All the talks about change at different symposia and fora were nothing but mere rhetorics and hoax. APC CAN BE LIKENED TO A CAT THAT BECAME UNUSUALLY FRIENDLY TO AN OLD WOMAN JUST FOR THE PURPOSE OF STEALING FROM HER POT. However, one great lesson we all have to learn (most especially online gladiators and poor students of Nigerian history) is never to fall for politicians' propaganda.

We alerted Nigerians about APC and Buhari's scam prior to the last elections but 15million people failed to listen. Where is the drone pipeline surveillance this govt promised and hyped in the media at their inception? How come Lai Mohammed is no more talking about "cluelessness" in securing lives and properties in Nigeria? APC must fully bear the brunt of ascending to power through falsehood. It's a matter of time.

Tundenoni:
Mr Jonathan shataaap there!
Give us reasons why you failed; you're telling us Obasanjo wanted a term. What's your business with that? Is that the reason why you failed?

It seems the preelection veil APC and Buhari deployed in deceiving nincompoops like you is yet to be completely removed. For your information, kid-brains like you who knew little or nothing about Nigerian history were the ones who wrongly believed that Jonathan failed. And for those who rode to power while deceiving gullible blockheads like you, how has the nation faired in their 6 months in power? Put on your thinking cap and stop talking like a toddler. OK?

Thanks for this piece. Made me cry. I miss GEJ.
He was the only president to have inspired me and gave me hope of a better Nigeria.

God bless him. He remains a source of inspiration to many and a worthy example of statesman ship.

Happy birthday my eternal president. God bless you.

Very true. GEJ really renewed my faith in Nigeria's unity. He was such a detribalised and peace loving President. There were many times I rose up and recited the National Anthem conscientiously each time GEJ appeared at public functions when he was president God Bless him.

OP, there's no need to add or subtract from your well-thought out piece. May God Almighty bless you and may the legacies of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan live long in the annal of our history. Happy Birthday our amiable GEJ.

feeloscar:
You are ignorant then that it was the last administration of your role model that signed the contract and as such, he should be castigated and not the present govt, OK.

What a reasoning! In your blind thrust to defend a misfiring govt, statements of this nature tends to raise dust about your level of intelligence. So if the contract was actually signed by the last administration, shouldn't commonsense dictate that a thorough review was carried out by Buhari before hurriedly implementing it? Is this how Nigerian wealth will be cornered into people's pockets knowing fully well that we have a manipulable and insensitive president? Obviously, Buhari did not know the full picture of the TSA before sanctioning its implementation. Period.

Thank you OP. This is one of the reasons I hate APC with passion. If there's anything I detest to my bone marrow, it's hypocrisy. This attests to the fact that APC and their praise-singers are the most devilish personalities around. Blaming and condemning others for the same evil committed by them is the most despicable thing on earth but they get away with it because the 15million Nigerians that voted for the party have the same personalities . If anybody is looking for the twin-brother of APC, it's Satan. They are wolves in sheep's skin.

With all the 'body language' people are still stealing

Do you know how many billions allegedly stolen under his watch as head of state? Wait and see what Tinubu, Ameachi, Fashola and the other pretenders will do to Mr Body Language in the next 4 years.

eyesofgod:
One would have naturally questioned the sanity of the lawmakers in this instance but then in a system where the opposition parties have gone into self induced hibernation till next election people like Fayose will be thrown up as a stop gap. He is fearless no doubt, but that is due to his motor park mentality. Isolate him and he will melt like butter.
I doubt if he will be an asset to PDP in the long run because he is too crude; a complete street guy. Such character is what the party should tame or avoid if it really wants to re-brand.

Thank you Oshokomole, the only spirit that eats jollof rice. Whether Buhari/APC likes it or not, the voice of opposition can never be quelled. Some of us who constantly expose the hypocrisy and evil in APC (and their supporters both in social and conventional media) had faced (and are still facing ) persecutions in our locality but we remain unperturbed. By the grace of God, darkness will not prevail over light.

PassingShot:
I see. Your reasoning is not different from their thinking as well.
Is there any sense in making any negative news out of the Eaglets success? If they lost, I am sure PDP would have said it was because of Buhari. And when they won, the useless party still found a way of playing politics with it.

What about rubbishing the portfolios to the ministers?

Abeg, make una park comot for road joor.

Your comments are quite amusing. If you term Olisa Metu's harmless criticisms as "negative", how do you now rate the many nation-destroying, propagandist and deceitful comments made by Lai Mohammed and APC before and even after attaining power. I am not a member of PDP but I follow Nigerian politics with keen interest. Pls be objective and stop sentiments.

PassingShot:
Reasonable indeede!

Reasonable by "blaming" PMB for Golden Eaglets success. Reasonable by condemning the portfolios shared yesterday saying it offers no hope!

If these defines being reasonable, it's better to be unreasonable then. PDP is a joke.

PDP never blamed Buhari for Golden Eaglets victory. The president was castigated for not entrenching youth empowerment policies in his roadmap in contrast to the sacrifice made by the youth in enthroning his presidency. Try to understand people's position before condemning them.

malton:
I'm guessing they intend spelling out the 5 golden commandments to members:

1. Thou must be preposterous at all times!

2. Thou must see no good in others.

3. To be in the opposition means to be brutal, even if it means going against logic!

4. The government is your enemy.

5. To restle back power again, we must all be auxiliary nurses!

I have followed Opposition politics for years and I can't attribute any of those listed anomalies to the PDP in the last 8 months. Olisa Metu and PDP have been reasonable and patriotic in their actions and inactions so far. That's a departure from the "destroy the nation to get power' politics played by Lai Mohammed and APC before the March 28 elections.

PassingShot:
PDP cannot be resurrected. That's the painful truth.

That's a conclusion that lacks empirical evidence. Do you know how many States and Legislative Seats under the control of PDP?

The much awaited PDP National Conference holding at Thisday Dome, Abuja is currently live on AIT. This event will go a long way for the party to chart a new course for its reassessment, remoulding, rebranding and reinvigoration in preparation for the battle to reclaim the Presidency in 2019. Happy viewing.

It depends on what angle we are dissecting the statements made by Dokpesi and FFK from. The later was right for saying that PDP did not make any mistake fielding Jonathan as the presidential candidate in the last election in view of his moderate performance in office (compared with those of his predecessors) and also combining it with the fact that it would have amounted to an unparalleled ridicule if a sitting president had been asked to step down after one term in office. However, the north felt aggrieved on the possibility of the presidency slipping from their hands till 2019 in defiance of PDP's Constitution and that synchronised with the statement made by Dokpesi. Whichever way we look at it, PDP found itself in a dilemma and quagmire in the last election and they paid dearly for our politics of ethnicity (turn-by-turn democracy).

Phatbutty:
Mehn, u are not just blind but also dumb, how has d past government empowered you, if it does, what of d remaining 70 percent unpowered youths. U blaming a government trying to change what u idiots put in d country, stop hating nigga and accept your defeat. I can't point to one achievement of GEJ but I can state atleast 3 so far frm dis government. Hating can't bring PDP to the power, not even when our eyes don open nigga.

I will not dignify you with retributive and provocative response. However, name one aspect of this administration that's youth tailored. Else, may your life be run on deceit and propaganda.

billyG:
u want lightening youth empowerment in Just 5mnths?are u serious or comsume by hate?

Obviously you didn't read the entirety of my post. Did the ministerial composition suggest youth representation in the upcoming cabinet?

Kuwaitboy:
. Shut up Ifeanyi Chukwujekwu. You keep on displaying your foolishness on different websites. Your unemployment and obsession is making you to move around different websites, like premium times and nairaland and make irrational comments. At least try not to copy your comments word for word and paste it on different websites next time. Up Buhari.

Your moniker says it all. You're indeed from Kuwait but living in fools' Paradise in Nigeria. For your attention, I have never commented on PremiumTimes as insanely alleged. It seems you woke up from the wrong side of your mat today.

It only goes to show that Buhari was a complete alien to economic, political and sociocultural architecture of Nigeria despite toiling day and night to rule the country for over 12 years. It portrays a leader who's totally naive and uncoordinated. He's now been auto piloted by the post election transition committee he set up before his inauguration. Whatever they ask him to do is what he does. Completely lost on how to kick start economic revamp.

Timbuktou:
What is this nonsense? Is this opposition politics? Dog wey go lost go lost. When Lai Mohammed offered this nurse a crash course in effective opposition politicking people flayed him. Now, look at the rubbish someone's grandfather is spewing in public. What a shame.

You are the one that's spewing trash. What insane crash course did you take from Lai Mohammed? Crash course of lie and blatant deceit? As a youth, can you beat your chest and proclaim Lai Mohammed as a role model for the younger generation? Olisa Metu was saying the obvious by exposing Buhari's disdain for youth empowerment as typified in his incoming ancestral cabinet. If lie and ignominious propaganda is your own type of acceptable crash course, good luck to you.

sleazy5:
Blaming pdp is not the issue. Apc is part if the problem Nigeria faces today.

Okorocha should tell Nigerians if it was in PDP state a sitting governor spent N78 million on ordinary website and N300 million on a borehole. Bunch of deceitful elements.

Dannyset:
Oh! So you believe APC can go into extinction but you don't blv PDP too can die. I see you hustle. Keep telling me your not a PDP member and at the same showing double standard.

Take it or leave it, APC is not yet a (national) party. It was just a pawn in the chestboard of taking over power by all means. The party is an amalgamation of power mongers who never love or believe in themselves. Can't you see the unfolding events-infighting amongst APC members in the National Assembly, tussle for ministerial appointments, the shenanigans in Bayelsa APC and other states? It's a nest of enemies who came together to fight a common enemy. It's just a matter of time before they implode.

Dannyset:
Is this a consolation or confusion? Aren't those States PDP in the first place?
My brother, PDP is dead and buried. Prolly those votes were invalid votes .

Chief, I am not a PDP member but that party can never die in Nigeria. Many of you seem to know little about Nigerian politics but here is the caveat; the north rejected PDP the moment they discovered power would slip from their hands till 2019 and having seen APC as a veritable tool to checkmate that from happening, they quickly turned their back away from PDP. Let this be on records, the moment PDP throws up a better (manipulatable) northern candidate in 2019, APC would go into extinction. Many northern politicians are not comfortable with Buhari (and other APC stalwarts')personalities but sticking with them till 2019 for the sake of power is their best option.

PassingShot:
See consolation of defeated souls.

Dude, don't be too harsh. It was the soul of Nigeria as a nation that was defeated on Match 28. Jonathan or PDP was not the loser but the unity and egalitarianism of Nigeria. Mark my word.

So PDP could still pull 20% of total votes in a predominantly APC state in the north despite all the vilifications from Buhari. I thought the babies on Nairaland and elsewhere say PDP is dead in Nigeria.

We screamed to high heavens about APC's hoax. We drummed the impending doom APC was bringing into Nigeria thru Buhari, Lai Mohammed, Tinubu and other chameleons masquerading as agents of change to the ears of Nigerians but they never listened. Nigerians, you asked for a King and now you got Saul. Enjoy this unparalleled scam till 2019.

QuotaSystem:
Where were your voices when the PDP bestrode the horizon with corruption, mismanagement, impunity, deceit and sheer incompetence like a drunken colossus?

You sound too sentimental to claim to be non-partisan.

You are PDP and your party is supervising its own funeral.

Here you go again! Those vices you mentioned (impunity, embezzlement, deceit, mismanagement etc) are the second names of APC as a party. If there's any of their members (including Fasola, Fayemi, Okorocha, Kwankasso et al)who can swear with their lives and children of non-involvement in those societal ills, let them signify. My grouse with APC is their penchant for pretence and blaming PDP for what they too are engrossed with. PDP will never deceive the masses, they would never call others thieves knowing they too are culprits. APC is nothing but a cult of liars and satanic individuals. I hate pretence and deceit with passion.
