The usual ranting of a critical and hateful opposition. If Joe Igbokwe's APC do not feel at home with Jonathan's power sector transformation, why did OANDO CONSORTIUM (owned by Tinubu and his cronies) bid for one of the Distribution companies? It's on record that he actually submitted a failed bid. Is Joe Igbokwe now been used by Tinubu to do a payback by rubishing the efforts of govt in the power sector?

Ttalk:
Tinubu is NOT a public figure, he does not hold any appointment or elective office

He is a party member just like you and me. What about public officer like NNPC minister who has been going from one court to another seeking injuction from going to national assembly to give account of how she is running the Ministry

Gosh! Did you just say Tinubu is not a public figure? An 8-year ex governor of Nigeria's former capital who is currently the leader of the main opposition party should not be subjected to public examination? And for your information, the petroleum minister did not kick against institution of any court case against her, rather she had asked the House of Reps to go through laid down constitutional processes, go and study the content of her suit in details. However, did you hear that Fashola refused to enshrine FOI Act in Lagos State laws? Are you aware that he has consistently frustrated any move of using the same FOI to extract information from his government? Friend, try to brush up your knowledge of Nigerian politics.

Ttalk:
I do listen to Nigeria Info sometimes and i have never come across any audio documentary by APC against any leader of PDP please make reference to any of such that you are privy of.

Again, a documentary on NNPC, an agency of the government own by the Nigerian public cannot be immune from scrutiny and it should be welcome development if such ever exist.

Maybe you didn't bother to read the entirety of my post before quoting me. If you agree that public figures and institutions should be subjected to public scrutiny, why is the case of APC's chief financier so different? Why should Tinubu be treated with kid's glove?

Ttalk:
Show us any documentary APC's sponsored documentary on PDP

They've started again, always beating about the bush. Don't you read newspapers? Haven't you come across APC's advertorials against Jonathan and his party? I can tell you there's a documentary currently been run on a radio station (NigeriaInfo to be specific) where all sorts of things are been said about the "rots" in NNPC. Have you ever heard of the govt threatening to sue or ban the station? Stop been smarter than you're.

OP, Nigeria will forever remain primitive with sentimental and parochial individuals like you. I will not dwell so much in punching holes in your fables, but for the sake of Nairalanders, let me bring your memories to the following;
1. In 2011 when Tinubu's party, the then ACN was projecting the image of its erstwhile presidential candidate, Nuhu Ribadu for that year's presidential election, Tinubu was recorded by many media houses (including The Nation newspaper which he owns) throwing all sorts of derogatory jibes against BUHARI, the man he's currently repackaging for Nigeria's presidency. At that point in time, nobody attempted to sue him or his tabloid.
2. Tinubu, Lai Mohammed and their party, had at different fora and medium published diatribes and spurious allegations of corruption against Jonathan and his ministers, the recent been the "missing" $20b NNPC money, which later became national anthem on the lips of many commentators in social media (Nairaland inclusive) and for your information, nobody cried foul.
3. Sequel to APC's electoral loss in Ekiti, the party and its leaders invaded the media with allegation of PDP using PHOTOCHROMIC BALLOT PAPERS to rig them out. Nigerians at that time did not bother to query the authenticity or reliability of that claim which has now turned out to be one of the greatest lies of our time.
The questions now are these, whether the documentaries on Tinubu were (are) politically motivated or not;
a. Has Tinubu or his party indulged in the same act in the past?
b. Are the allegations in the documentaries true or not?
c. Is this the first time politicians are subjected to cross examinations by co-contestants?
OP, do us a favour by eschewing partiality and sentimentalism and allow Tinubu to carry his cross.

Nigeria is as good as dead if APC wins the presidency but as God Almighty lives, they will never rule this nation. Propaganda has never been this alarming.

OP, when I read self-servicing comments from people like you, my heart pangs for the future of Nigeria. For the records, I can tell you (free of charge) thay your abillty to write or speak any jargon against Jonathan is tied to his tolerance and civility. Now let me ask these;
1. Were your ears blocked with cotton wools when Amaechi was abusing the president, calling him unprintable names with reckless abandon?
2. Were you suffering from dementia when Lair Mohammed was dragging the name of the president, his office and family in the mud in his unending provocative and hateful press releases?
3. Where was your thinking cap when APC was busy brainwashing Nigerians with spurrious alligations of corruption against the president and his govt?
4. Were you absent-minded when Lair Mohammed called the president such names as clown, clueless, kindergatten president and the rest?
5. Were you not in the country when Hell Rufai became a Twitter freak by abusing the president at any available opportunity?
This nation can never move forward because of sycophants like you.

Zuria:
I don't like Gov. Fayose but it's funny how he keeps the APC on their toes

You don't need to like Fayose but he's a political dynamite! If you don't believe it, ask Fayemi how his political sojourn was K-legged by Fayose.

E don dey happen small small. Darkness will never overcome light. Never!!!

nagoma:
You have hatred in you blood. Buhari had nothing to do with corpers killed while rigging for PDP. ( remember Jonathan paid the blood money) may their souls rest in peace. But Jonathan must be prosecuted in the ICC for deliberately allowing the killing of 13,000 people in the north east and traumatizing and displacing millions. He cannot continue to be the president of Nigeria, he will be voted out and he will go to jail.

May mischief follow you to eternal damnation. Are you saying the exposé of one of the slain Corpers published here on Nairaland where he said Buhari's CPC members coerced him to accredit underage voters is not true? Are you also countering the fact that Buhari's careless statement contributed to the post-election crisis of 2011? Your case and that of your fellow Buhari's apologists need supernatural intervention.

dodoniyi:
[b]I may be wrong with my analysis:

NOTE 1:
"...and claimimg that the Boko Haram is being used by political players."

NOTE 2:
If the UK findings will indict or expose the oppositions of this government like Buhari and co, then surely such information will not be a classified one.

However, before this news broke out, I was very sure that Jonathan and his government knew and still know more than what we think they know about the origin or the HIJACK of this insurgency.

Frankly, the UK findings may, with the high level of probability, expose this very government of their hidden activities as per the Chibok Girls Kidnap.

They might have discovered something strange about the finance and motive behind the deadly group.

That may be the reason why they think that should they release such high profile information or findings, it will surely affect the international relations between the two countries.

Oh! I still keep wondering why will the UK and US with some countries come here to help us fight Boko Haram but left us in less than a month wihout achieving what they came here for.

It is really hard to hear or see US embarks on a rescue mission without success even if it will take a long period to achieve it.

I still wonder why will US refuse to sell weapons to our government that claims to use the weapons to fight this deadly group.

Besides, during the time when an aircraft filled with huge amout of money, belonging to CAN president, was seized by the South African government, I do not know whether or not people noticed that the Boko haram activities in this country reduced drastically. Hmm! Coincidence? Hmm...

Till now, the names of the two Nigerians captured by the South African government are unknown and why that of the foreigner was clearly mentioned.

Why still keep the identity of these men if truly what the government said of the purpose of such black market dealings of such weapons are true?

Because of this, why do we keep hearing the "INVISIBLE" helicopter dropping weapons and food items in Maiduguri for the boko haram without the knowledge of the aviation ministry or any other relevant bodies? This is really impossible!

Why was Azazi killed weeks after when he alleged that PDP is boko haram and boko haram is PDP?

Why would the boko haram agents come to an area, and operated for like 4 or 5 hours uninterrupted or without any reprisal from the military men despite the fact that the states are under state of emergency?

If truly Buhari knows about this group,why can't the government take it serious to prosecute or sue him or reveal the evidence, not the daily propaganda linking him with the group just as they claimed they have enough evidence that he does not have a certificate?

If they have the evidence, I know very sure that FFK and Fayose will never keep silent on that even if the presidency cautions them.

Why would a presidential aide be interested in creating an email in a bid to link Sanusi to Boko haram but his efforts were exposed and failed?

Why will the government be interested now in reducing boko haram activities within 6 weeks recommended by them and not the early years of this deadly group when the cries of the innocent blood were so much -
may be for political reasons, OR
may br after seeing millions in that region being displaced and unable to obtain their PVCs OR
may be after seeing another millions being warned OR threatened not to come out during elections to vote OR
may be after seeing that thousands are really afraid to come outside to vote?

Why would our president in less than 24 hours after the kidnap of the Chibok Girls, go to Kano for campaign dance or skelewu - a mission accomplished abi?

WHY? WHY? WHY?

The Lord God searches through human hearts and knows with precision or perfection our thoughts and He will surely judge the wicked and their wicked ways.

IF THE POLICE FORCE, THE MILITARY FORCE AND OTHER ARMED FORCES IN THIS COUNTRY CANNOT REVEAL THE SOURCE OF FINANCE OF THIS DEADLY GROUP, THE PRAYER, WHICH IS THE SPIRITUAL FORCE THAT CONNECTS US TO HEAVEN WILL SOON FISH OUT THE SPONSORS WITH CONCRETE EVIDENCE BY FIRE OR BY FORCE.

Killing these boko haram boys without uprooting the roots ( i.e. Without revealing and arresting the sponsors) is an effort in futility.[/b]

What are you trying to postulate? Don't get yourself entangled with international politics been played by both US and UK. From available facts and history, those two world powers had always shown support for a particular section of this country and this obviously accentuates why they're been economical with their findings. For any avoidance of doubt, Boko Haram is substantially a political card been played to hijack power back to a section of the country. In furtherance of this clarity, pls check the following facts;
1. Sharia crisis was unleashed on OBJ when he was trying to exert his feet on governance by refusing to dance to the tune of born-to-rule crooners. He alluded to this in his new book "My Watch"
2. As at the time Azazi threw the bombshell of linking Boko haram crisis to PDP internal wrangling, those people he referred to were individuals who felt aggrieved of Mr. President's intention to seek second term in office(a stance seen as an impediment of having power retuned to their region in 2015) and vowed to make the country ungovernable if he did. For your information, those were the people that stormed out of PDP's convention to form nPDP many of whom are now in APC.
3. If this administration is involved in financing or backing Boko haram, why would they also send soldiers to exterminate the same people they're backing? It negates any logical reasoning.
In a nutshell, Boko haram is purely a northern agenda for power shift. Don't be deceived by those who says the north would not kill themselves for power, our political history proves otherwise.

Sanchez01:
Sometimes, I'm forced to ask how you guys ever get it right. The guys in the picture are not seen with a machete, a gun, a bottle or catapults and you claim they'll declare war when GMB loses. It is imperative we see things the way they are and not turn the situation of things around just because we want them to suit our cause.

What has happened to your education? Do you expect those guys to wield machetes, arrows, guns and catapults and pose before camera for pictures? Gosh!

I agree with you completely. The souls of those slain Youth Corpers and other innocent Nigerians killed in 2011 will hunt Buhari and his promoters now and forever.

timilehing:
I thought they said it's the opposition party that's behind fuel scarcity? While Nigerians have being suffering to buy fuel even @100 Naira, our clueless president has been dancing Shoki all weekend in Lagos.

FTC anyway First blessing coming to me today, like if you believe

Stop talking about what you don't know. The marketers were paid part of their outstandings just last December and agreements were reached on when the next tranch of their claims woulld be paid. Why did they suddenly decide to hoard their stock and punish Nigerians? Do you know that most of the marketers have fuel in stock? We all know the relationship between Tinubu and a major marketer in Nigeria. Google the names of the marketers and see their connections with APC bigwigs. Ok?

[quote author=Austindark post=31268083][/quote]That's one of the things that endears me to the president; he would never hound his detractors. Somebody like OBJ or Buhari would have done everything to turn the hand of justice.

Wnat about Mbaka? No message for him? This country self!

lies............pdp are the architect of temporal voters card

Son of Lucifer. Has Jega now become a card carrying member of PDP?

The facts are there to see. Winning elections is not premised on media chants and propaganda. The question is; what foundation does APC have in the 36 States of the Federation and FCT? It's still paperweight. Jonathan's victory in the coming election is unquestionable.

SEHHYTEX:
There were revelations in Abuja on Monday on why President Goodluck Jonathan and the national leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party were angry with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega.

A week-long investigation by our correspondent in Abuja showed that the President and his party are not happy with Jega over his insistence that the commission would use the Permanent Voter Cards for the election.

The PVCs were used for the conduct of the governorship elections in both Ekiti and Osun states, which were won by the PDP and the All Progressives Congress respectively.

Apart from this, the President and the party were also angry that the commission was going ahead with its decision to use card readers.

This technology was however not used in both Ekiti and Osun states elections.

The commission has said that the card reader can only read PVC issued by it and that any person that shows up at the polling unit without a PVC or with a card not issued by INEC will not be able to vote.

It was learnt that the Presidency and the ruling party were not totally against the use of the PVCs, but they were not happy with the use of card readers.

A worker in the Presidency who spoke with our correspondent on Sunday queried the insistence of INEC under the leadership of Jega to go ahead with the two items.

He said, “Now, what we are saying is that yes, the PVCs were used in both Ekiti and Osun governorship elections but the way and manner the PVCs are being distributed now is suspicious.

“Look at the figure of those who have collected from the northern part of the country and look at the figure from the southern part, where President Jonathan hails from.

“If the election is going to be by ethnic sentiment alone, you will know that our President has been defeated already. So, that’s the reason.

“Look at Ogun and Lagos states, which we all know are politically sophisticated. Why are the electorates not picking their PVCs? We are worried.”

In terms of PVCs collection, figures released by the commission indicated that Ogun State is lagging behind among all the states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory.

In the state, only 808,590 out of the 1,829,534 registered voters had collected their PVCs. This figure represents a mere 44.20 per cent.

But the commission said that 1,387,401 PVCs had been delivered to the state.

Lagos State with 5,822,207 registered voters had recorded 63.44 per cent of the PVCs collection. This shows that 3,693,355 of the cards had been picked by their owners.

But the commission said that 5,558,062 cards had been delivered for voters in the state.

This means that there are 1,864,707 PVCs yet to be picked by their owners in the state.

When asked whether the refusal of the owners of the PVCs to pick them up could be attributed to Jega, the source said that the commission should embark on more enlightenment.

On the issue of card readers, a member of the National Working Committee of the party, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that there was no way the machine would be effective in the area of accreditation of voters.

When this issue was raised before the commission, an explanatory note presented to our correspondent showed that accreditation of a voter using the card reader is expected to last for about 20 seconds.


http://www.punchng.com/news/why-jonathan-pdp-are-angry-with-jega-investigation/

Lies from the pit of hell. Joe Igbokwe, APC spokesman was on STV few weeks ago where he openly canvassed for the use of Temporary Voters Cards due to apparent lopsidedness in INEC's distribution of PVCs most especially in Lagos State. The president has never stood against the use of PVCs.

bushdoc9919:


May I officially nominate your post for 'Joke of the year''?

1.Who is in charge of the country....PDP or APC.

2.Last week.....Nigeria needed 12500MW. PHCN was able to generate 3500MW. So, you expect light to be steady?

3.Your PDP govt has been building power stations.....what is happening to them

4.Your Power Minister last year said that ''we would have steady power this year'' Few weeks ago he said...''Well, I never did say that....

Please....can you PDPians for once accept that your party has a lot of room for imporvement....especially if they win.

Thinking you made sense with this rubbish?

bushdoc9919:
From the Punch....



You hear?

The man you insulted is right.

You're one of the few who pretends to be sound on Nairaland but are nothing but empty vessel. You want me to believe any trash from Punch, a newspaper that's 100% pro-APC? Tell that foolish story to your likes and not me. Ok?

Delafruita:
you should be in the consulting room right next to adamu muazu

And next on the line will be you and your generation.

MabraO:
I ve been hearing there re people with fish brain but I haven't seen any.
Thank u for showing urself forth.
How could u be thinking like this? It is a pity

I did not send my comment to convince kids like you having realised how brainless some of you can be on Nairaland. If those things I mentioned in the post are true, may God punish you and entire generation forever.

mbulela:
You are a very funny character. I pity those who dare take you serious.

Dumbhead. Your rating of my personality is nothing but arrant nonsense. My comments on Nairaland are 100% backed up with facts. I am not one of paid agents who cook up stories to smear people's personalities. Let your opinion about me perish with you.

ademega:
This must be his son. Or the devil advocate

Your father, mother and entire generation must be devil's advocates. Dumbheads.

Larriekay:
when I first joined nairaland, I often see u as a sane person bt am disappointed u posted ds.

Fool. Do you think I need your commendation or otherwise on nairaland? I guide my conscience very jealously when commenting on national issues here on nairaland and elsewhere. Ok?

bashydemy:
Now i pity the parents that brought a clown to this mother earth, So opposition are behind the non payment of independent market that refuse to import fuel into the country? I swear your father wasted alot of nights trying to impregnate your mother, Your mother also wasted a whole 9months to carry you in her womb and another years breast feeding and nurturing you... you are a disgrace to your family..

Bastard. Who told you this scarcity is due to govt's indebtedness to marketers? Every penny spent on you by your parents is a total waste. May yout life be bedeviled by mischief.

Bitterleafsoup:
If this is true that means he did more for the North then his own people and they still hate him, and they will still destroy all he built so might as well be selfish and focus on SE and SS this time.

Obviously he has done more for the north than the south. He built 14 new univeristies 9 of which are located northward. 150 new almajiri schools first of its kind in the history of Nigeria are all in the north. It's not a question of whether he has done well for them or not, but the region's obsession with ruling at all cost.
