OP, you got it all wrong. You seem to have mistaken the condemnation and criticising of APC's lies, deceit and propaganda as tactful support for PDP. Most of us who constantly exposed the mischief and hypocrisy of that demonic party called APC are not members of PDP. We were (and are still) simply guided by patriotism and quest for a God-fearing nation( not the one fostered on us by Buhari, Tinubu, Lai Mohammed and northern oligarchy). Moreover, the seeming docility of those vibrant voices might be tactical, just waiting to see how the toddlers (in APC) burn their fingers. If oppositions parties in UK, US, France and other developed democracies are still existing despite loosing power, PDP can never die either on Nairaland or in Nigeria at large.

A nation suffering from the disease of acute memory loss. Why did we forget Buhari's history and antecedent so soon? How can we forget how he put Shagari in a house arrest but threw his deputy ( Alex Ekuweme) into prison? How he went about with his selective anti-corruption crusade between 1984 and 1985 a misnomer that eventually led to his ouster. Those expecting Buhari to change at the age of 72 are just been unrealistic as leopard rarely change its skin. However, one thing is certain; Buhari WILL truncate Nigerian democracy as he did in 1984.

Femi Aribisala, always apt and concise. However, referring to most Nigerians as "gullible" seems to be a gross understatement. The last five months has really exposed us as liars, mischievous citizenry, double-minded, dishonest, uncanny, educated but illiterate, chameleons, religious but ungodly, the vices clearly epitomised in the personalities of Buhari, Lai Mohammed, most APC stalwarts and their followers (both on Nairaland and elsewhere). A nation's leadership is a reflection of its citizens and that shows why NIgeria has been crawling since 1960. APC and this presidency are the worst tragedies to ever befall Nigeria. Once upon a time, the children of Isreal asked for a king and they got Saul.

That's my ever amiable president. Always cool, calculated and unruffled. I just like the Statesman.

handsomeclouds:
There's nothing wrong in changing the colour

Pathetic! Can you ask yourself if that's a priority for a government that complains of lack of money? Do you know the billions of Naira required for such wastefulness? Why can't you people reason very well before vibrating?

Yunus2012:
So the fight against book haram is likeable to fight against kidnapping? Do u recall how long its taking the FEDERAL army is subduing the Book Haram guys. And yet you think it could have been handled by the state government?

Both kidnapping and insurgency are security threats. Being the Chief Security Officers of their respective states, governors are the first point of call if there is any security breach. It was obvious Shettima was complacent and mischievous while discharging his responsibilities as the governor of Borno State. Governors know their states even more than the sitting president. Why do they collect security votes if they can use it to secure their respective domains?

But this satanic party called APC and their puppets on Nairaland said Shettima is not the Chief Security Officer of Borno State, hence the FG and not him should be held responsible for Boko haram onslaughts in Borno . This nation is in a mess with APC.

NgeneUkwenu:
I will only take Saraki seriously, when he resists arrest on Monday! Till then, he is just making noise!

#StepDownSaraki

He would appear in court on Monday and the case will drag on till 2019. Afterall, Buhari once told his accusers in the certificate scandal to "remain in court".

TonyeBarcanista:
Exactly! GEJ had everything to nail these people and knock-out would-be opposition. Well he's gone sha! We shall reclaim Aso Rock in 2019

It's true GEJ had everything at his disposal to beat all those betrayers (including Saraki) to submission but the ex president is not in the mould of OBJ and co who can kill or maim to achieve their aims. We knew how many souls that perished during IBB and OBJ regimes, all because of power. Anyway, GEJ once prophesied that all those who ran to APC because of power will return empty handed. This is just the beginning.

Buhari is the biggest fraud that ever took place in Nigeria. How he managed to deceive over 15million people that voted for him in the last election is still a mystery. I have equally discovered that most of his jingoists share the same vices/characteristics with him. Liars, propagandists, chameleons and sycophants will always feel at home with anything he does.

Farewell Barcanista. Surely you'll be missed on Nairaland. I have equally decided to limit my appearance on this forum due to its spiritual effects on one's personal life. There are so many kindergartens in this forum who can push one away from God if care is not taken. However, keep up with the struggle either here or wherever you go. Best regards.

That's 100% true. The appointments were not based on Tribes but Tribal Marks. Unrepentant professional lairs.

Some sycophants and Lai Mohammed offsprings will tell us Fayose is not saying the truth, the same way their forefathers were scammed between 1914 and 2014.

DeKen:
Wow. It will be nice to see new administrations continuing good projects of their predecessors even if they are from different parties.
This had often set this country back in the past where new administrations want to undo every thing they can undo and start new ones.

By the way, this is the same project that Ayim was said to have fooled GEJ into signing when it was his personal project, and some folks used the false story to castigate GEJ. I wonder why some people are so eager to throw mud at GEJ. And they even made it sound like the project was funded by govt, but will end up as Ayim's personal property.

He approved the project simply because it will become a Northern monument. I can bet it with you that Buhari would have done otherwise if the project had tilted favourably toward the South. A clear example was the Lagos Metro Rail project the bigot truncated in his first reign as Head of State.

Elummah:
May his soul RIP

Which soul is resting in peace? His exploits while on earth will determine that.

wellmax:
PMB just ride on with fixing Nigeria. You have fulfilled the constitutional responsibility of declaring to right body.

A lair and scammer to fix your own Nigeria? One day, you'll expect Tinubu to head EFCC and fight corruption. The voodoo traits of Buhari are all over his deceitful followers.

ellabooz:
This man sef

Your case don tire me oh, not only speaking from both sides of your mouth, you also act from both sides.

Can someone give a name to such personality

A new specie of cloned Chameleon only found in Nigeria's Sahara region. Scientists are currently tracing its origin to Daura.

deadZONE:
Are they not thieves and liars
God would expose them,
instead of solving the
problems of the nation
they are taking pictures
and looking for stolen money
to re-steal .. pathetic bunch of
blockheads.

I agree with you. God will punish them for trying to reap where they did not sow. Instead of thriving to live up to their campaign promises, it has been propaganda galore. Very heartless and devilish people.

helpee:
i thought they said they were going to impeach this guy and send him to prison. they said it was his fear of prison that made him antagonised buhari during election. these APC online guys are learners. Fayose keep making noise for good governance. the only noise others make is SAI BUHARI.... anything after that is wailing to them. my HERO

Don't mind those e-rats. They seem not to know who Fayose is. Any attempt by the Ancestor to take Fayose headlong will cut short his presidency. Even Tinubu (their godfather) can't mess up with Fayose. The man is one-man MOPOL.

Demdem:

Fool, my assessment is right on point and that explains why the curse was booted out of power. Nigerians recognised this curse and determined that never again will such a despicable being govern them anylonger.
Only shameless cocck suckers like ursef won't see sense in that.

All the diatribes go to your father and entire generation. Animal.

Who's this "Ordinary Commissioner" deceiving? So your corruption searchlight does not include Lagos where Fasola and Tinubu's lootings are second to none. Oh Lord, where can we find responsible elders again!

N78 million and we're shouting blue murder? This is just a fragment of Tinubu and Fasola's looting spree in Lagos. That was why they shed sweats in ensuring that Agbaje did not become governor. By the time the lid is lifted on the can of worms in Lagos, no sane person would want to shout "change" again.

Good talk from Mr. Stomach Infrastructure. At least he's more humane than Fasola who snatched means of lively hood from many Okada riders in Lagos by confisticating their bikes. The reigning Twitter Champion (Hell Rufai) is currently on the loose in Kaduna, destroying people's homes without providing succour. Many people that voted APC in the last elections would end up cursing the party.

barcanista:
Mogidi, I won't be surprised to read APC's defence on this one. Afterall, a supposed "honest" General made this statement in June 2008....

"All the allegations levelled against the personality of the late Gen. Sani Abacha will remain allegations. It is 10 years now, things should be over by now."
“ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts”.

EFCC will close its eyes from this revelation under the pretext that a petition has not been officially received but if a PDP chieftain had been involved in this scam, Buhari would have made a soap opera out of it. I have always known that Fashola and APC are super-scammers.

Demdem:
Fool, jonah-daft was a big fraud. Considering the resources at his disposal and his so called acheivement all over the country, the fool failed miserably all over. Right from the north down to south. He failed the north, the west, east and even his people he ffucked them up so u tell me what good can actually be attributed to him?
What about when he was governor of Bayelsa? what were his acheivement has governor of one of the richest state in Nigeria? Fool, its not about being a tribalist or not but and incompetent fool who shouldnt even be near anywhere in government. Never again we will have such a curse govern us.
Extremely Good riddance.

Mad man. Your lopsided assessment of Jonathan's administration is inconsequential. The ex-president will surely be remembered for good whenever the story of Nigeria is told. Born hater.

Demdem:

So in ur daft state the supposedly "120" Almajiri schools was the reason Jonah-daft couldn't better the lives of his people? As governor of Bayelsa, did the fool better it at all? Did he divert the funds also to abokii land?
Foolish talk.

Woe betide you. Was Jonathan a president of Niger Delta or that of Nigeria? Idi0ts like you would still call him a tribalist if he had focused all his developmental strides in his domain. Hateful morons.

iyobosadavid:
That's the change we voted for, atleast am convince an experience illitrate is better than an inexperience PhD holder in zoology

You and and those clowns in APC (Rivers State) are suffering from incurable madness. Where were you when Jonathan was busy building over 120 Almajiri schools in the north despite being a Southerner? Did APC call him a true "son" of Arewa at that time? All of you dey craze.

Mourinho would have been an APC Chieftain if he were a Nigerian.

barcanista:
Good Afternoon and Happy Sunday to all. I am so glad to be writing on a very important subject that is generating unnecessary controversy powered by supporters of the ruling party. To cut the story short, this article is to set the record straight and counter the distortion of facts by a pro-APC poster on this thread Jonathan's Government And The Refineries, Lest We Forget.

1. The Situation/Capacity of Our 4 Refineries Before Jonathan:
To appreciate where we are we need to cast our mind where we were. Let's see the refining capacities between of our 4 Refineries between 2001 and 2010.

PORTHARCOURT REFINERIES:
In 2001, it operated at 60.73 percent, 52.17 (2002), 41.88% (2003), 31.04 percent (2004), 42.18 percent (2005), 50.26 percent (2006), 24.87 percent (2007), 17.84 percent (2008), 9.08 percent (2009), and 9.17 percent (2010), averaging 34 percent in ten years.

***Jonathan Inherited PHCR at 9.17% capacity***

KADUNA REFINERY:
Kaduna refinery operated at 31.39 percent capacity utilisation in 2001, 34.95 percent (2002), 15.96 percent (2003), 26 percent (2004), 33.08 percent
(2005), 8.34 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 19.56 percent (2008); 20.02 percent (2009), and 20.46 percent (2010). On average, in the ten years, the
Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical complex attained capacity utilisation of 20.97 percent.

***Jonathan Inherited KDRPC at 20.46% capacity***

WARRI REFINERY (WARPC)
Warri refinery operated at 48.29 percent in 2001, 55.53 percent (2002), 14.27 percent (2003), 9.10 percent (2004), 54.85 percent (2005), 3.85 percent (2006), 0.00 percent (2007), 38.52 percent (2008), 43.01 percent (2009), and 43.36 percent (2010), averaging 31 percent between 2001 and 2010.

***Jonathan Inherited WARPC at 43.36% capacity***

Nigeria's Refining Capacity During GEJ Era:
May 2013: Portharcourt Refinery (66%)Kaduna Refinery (65%), and Warri (63%)
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Thursday, announced an improvement in Nigeria’s refining capacity, declaring that domestic refining of Premium Motor Spirits, PMS, at the country’s three refineries has increased to 10.23 million litres per day.

He disclosed that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company is currently running at 65 percent installed capacity, while the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is producing at 63 per cent and the Port Harcourt Refining and Petrochemical Company at 66 per cent of installed capacity.

“Infact, these refineries have been running consistently for over three months now.”
www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/nigerias-refineries-now-producing-10m-litresday-of-fuel-nnpc/

Before that statement was made, the then Minister of Petroleum Mrs Alison Madueke had stated in March that early turn around maintenance was already ongoing while the MAIN TAM that was expected to yield the 90% projected capacity was expected to commence later that year.

"Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year. The TAM and rehabilitation work for Kaduna and Warri refineries are intended to follow in quarter four of this year and quarter one of next year respectively,”

“Our early turnaround maintenance work has commenced at the Port-Harcourt refinery while the main work is expected to commence in April and may of this year.
www.sunnewsonline.com/new/tam-fg-begins-work-on-port-harcourt-refinery-next-month/

Nobody or Group disputed the position of the NNPC. So who was responsible for the improvement to 64% working capacity of our combined refineries in May 2013? JONATHAN of course

October 2014: Turn Around Maintenance Began For The Optiman Performace of Our Refineries (80%):
While the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries were built by two Japanese firms - Chioda and JGC, the Warri Refinery was built by Snapcogetti of Italy.

According to The Coordinator, Corporate Planning and Strategy, of the NNPC, Dr. Tim Okon when SAIPEM eventually came, it offered to maintain Port Harcourt Refineries at $550 million, Kaduna Refineries at $600 million and Warri Refinery at $180 million.

Okon said the bills were unacceptable to them because they were too high despite the fact that the figures were eventually reviewed downwards. He said the high bills prompted NNPC to send some of their engineers to the builders abroad to learn the repair processes with a view to saving costs.

Following this move, Okon said NNPC began to spend as low as N10 million to maintain the refineries every month as from October 2014. Following this
development, he said the four refineries would roar back to life and produce in optimum capacity from the first quarter of 2016.

***The Testimony/revelation was made on March 05, 2015***

The Transformational Result By GEJ's Effort
On the 10th of June, the GMD NNPC came out to make the following statements..

“We are taking the refineries unit by unit and carrying out turnaround maintenance on them. So in other words, the maintenance are being carried out on the run and we started a couple of months ago.

“Most of the refineries have advanced to a certain stage where they will be able to operate very soon.
For example, the Port Harcourt refinery, which has reached an advanced stage, will start receiving crude by end of this month and then of course will start contributing to the available products in the country.”

I hope this is satisfactory enough? I hope the APC fans will emulate Buhari by giving credit to whom it is due?

God Bless Barcanista. No matter what the children of hate, deceit and propaganda do, Jonathan's legacy lives on.

So Buhari has suddenly become a demigod? If his past atrocities were considered against him, he would never have become president today. Saraki (even though I don't like his antecedent as a person) should call the President's bluff and move on.

By this development, Buhari's performance rating should be increased by those drunkards in NOI from 70% to 90%. In fact, he should be given 99.9% score mark. What an insult to our intelligence!

By then, the whole of Northeast would have been annihilated. This man's scam is legendary than that of Eze-Ego. How he manages to deceive and hypnotize 170 million Nigerians (except me) is still a mystery.
