We really get the sort of leaders we deserve. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hvideo-xpf1/v/t42.1790-2/10989052_690712871039299_1108772915_n.webm?oh=021e40d5ae3fac783d016b6ecd2c78f3&oe=54F5D47C |
Ok..GEJ saw he would probably lose the elections as Nigerians were not happy with how he had tackled boko haram.. So he stalls the election, goes to destroy them, then comes back to get more votes. Super Jona... There is God oo |
Saw this comment from this woman and i wondered how many of such partially demented people we have out there.. Ladies do you are with her?

fitzmayowa:APC/PDP, same old folks..i'll modify and include ur list.. |
temitemi1:Well unfortunately they are the most recycled..I'm non partisan..Unfortunately, neither ur PDP(GEJ) or APC(GMB) have clear road maps on how to liberate us from years of misrule by these recycled incompetent folks.. |
if you travel abroad frequently for work, or if you have an e-commerce store with customers from all over the world, it’s worth noting that there are a number of English words that, phonetically, don’t work in other countries and can lead to double entendre or unintended offence territory. Here are 20 of them to help you ensure that your communication isn’t lost in translation. |
It is only in Nigeria that Politics is a career. Men without pedigree hang on to power and want to do so till they die. |
fagbenro:In advanced countries, they will go to jail for forgery. That's the corruption-free Nigeria we claim we want to see. They should serve every punishment that fits the crime; Perhaps, others will learn from it. |
Our Government purchased as Ship commisioned on 20 December 1968 by the US Government with So much celebration and funfair. When will we ever do anything decent in this country? Did we even pay for this? It more or less looks like it was discarded to us. NNS Okpabana is a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter which formerly served with the U.S. Coast Guard as USCGC Gallatin (WHEC-721). Built at Avondale Shipyards near New Orleans, Louisiana, Gallatin was named for Albert Gallatin, the fourth and longest serving United States Secretary of the Treasury. Gallatin completed its final patrol 11 December 2013 and will be decommissioned in 2014 before being transferred to the Nigerian Navy.[1] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NNS_Okpabana

johnmartus:I would have responded to your comment with maturity, and cleared the air on why i asked the question, but you can barely express yourself, so i'm very sure you cannot by any means comprehend where i'm coming from. Wirinet made more reasonable points than you ignorantly attempted to. However for the sake of others, let me just state this; I'll rather not vote, than vote for GEJ. Then the next logical choice should be GMB right? I'll be as clueless as Johnmartus if i blindly allow foolish sentiments prevent me from asking questions i need clarity on. No one knows it all. Besides all the answers you can possibly give will be mere speculations if you are not an insider. |
Ok, planning on voting for Buhari, but i'm a lil bit confused and would need clarity. Buhari took a bank loan of about N27mill to Purchase the nomination form, and his wife donates N135mil worth of drugs to Internally Displaced Persons? I need to understand those discrepancies. Please to all the GEJ supporters ready to start ranting, i can reel out his own issues, so hold your peace.. |
The Nigerian government was supposed to hold presidential elections this past weekend, which presented voters with the dispiriting choice of keeping a lousy incumbent or returning to power a former autocratic leader. Now they will have to wait at least six weeks to cast votes. The Nigerian election commission said earlier this month that it had pushed back the vote until at least March 28, after the country’s security chiefs warned that they could not guarantee the safety of voters in northeastern areas of the country where Boko Haram, the extremist militant group, captured international attention last spring when it abducted hundreds of schoolgirls. On Friday, Boko Haram fighters attacked a village in neighboring Chad for the first time, an alarming sign of the group’s expanding strength in a region that also includes areas of Cameroon and Niger. Any argument to delay the vote might be more credible if President Goodluck Jonathan’s government had not spent much of the past year playing down the threat posed by the militants and if there were a reasonable expectation that the country’s weak military has the ability to improve security in a matter of weeks. It appears more likely Mr. Jonathan grew alarmed by the surging appeal of Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler who has vowed to crack down on Boko Haram. By dragging out the race, Mr. Jonathan stands to deplete his rival’s campaign coffers, while he continues to use state funds and institutions to bankroll his own. That Mr. Buhari, who helped launch a coup against a democratically elected government in 1983 and ruled until late 1985, has emerged as potential winner is more of an indictment of Mr. Jonathan’s dismal rule than a recognition of the former military chief’s appeal. Nigerian voters have grown increasingly worried about the stunning rise of Boko Haram, which has committed terrorist atrocities including bombings. The abductions and attacks by the group have exposed the weaknesses of Nigeria’s armed forces and the dysfunction of the government. Although Mr. Jonathan’s government has in the past been less than enthusiastic, and at times obstructive, in response to offers of American and European aid, he appears to be growing increasingly worried. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, he said he would welcome American troops to fight the insurgency. Beyond security matters, entrenched corruption and the government’s inability to diversify its economy as the price of oil, the country’s financial bedrock, has fallen have also caused Nigerians to look for new leadership. Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, and a relatively young democracy, cannot afford an electoral crisis. That would only set back the faltering effort to reassert government control in districts where Boko Haram is sowing terror. The security forces may not be able to safeguard many districts on Election Day. But postponement is very likely to make the security threat worse. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/16/opinion/nigerias-miserable-choices.html?_r=0 |
Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, did not bargain for what he got on Sunday when he was disgraced at an event which held within his own territory at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital. He attempted to disparage the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, when he was booed by the guests at the event. Okupe, known for his scurrilous attacks on APC stalwarts, resorted to saying that Buhari did not go to school and as such Nigerians should not vote for him. But his attempts fell flat as the guests at the event on national television disagreed and booed him in defence of Buhari. In the video of the event which is already circulating on social media, Doyin Okupe said: “General Buhari is not electable and would not be elected by the grace of God. And why I am saying that is this, Nigeria would not have a president that has not gone to school. This is not going to happen. In Nigeria it will not happen. In Nigeria it would not happen.” And the guests chorused: “APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!!!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!! APC!!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCq2ZoMVKKI When the booing became strident and unbearable, Okupe walked out of the venue in shame. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/02/09/doyin-okupe-disgraced-in-aso-rock/ |

What do you say?

etties:Why is this being turned into an APC /PDP fight? As it stands, i do not support either of the candidates as i dont believe they have what it takes to take us to where we need to go to.. When you zero in ur mind on defending ur preferred choice, u destroy ur objectivity and only stir sycophancy based on emotions. My point is, Nigerians should stop celebrating the crumbs from the masters table, simply because you didnt see any crumbs from a previous master. The whole bread is ours for the taking. Switch on ur minds.. |
Nigeria and Mexico approached China for credit facility to rebuild their railway systems (and other infrastructure). They both got the credits. Look at what each country did with the money. When do we stop celebrating mediocrity?

He had this to say on The Nation Newspaper of June 06,2013 Jonathan’s govt is a dismal failure, says Fani-Kayode Chief Fani-Kayode Chief Fani-Kayode Jonathan’s govt is a dismal failure, says Fani-Kayode Posted by: Augustine Avwode in News June 6, 2013 A former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, yesterday said the Goodluck Jonathan administration is a “dismal failure”. In an interview in Lagos, the former minister said he was appalled that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), at its “family dinner” in Abuja, awarded itself a pass mark. He said the ruling party had lost touch with reality, adding that it was not unexpected of it to award itself a pass mark. Fani-Kayode said: “I watched the dinner the PDP held and I was appalled by the fact that they gave themselves a pass mark. They were clapping and saying President Jonathan should continue. “Look, Czar Nicholas of Russia, a night before the Russian Revolution, clapped for himself. This thing happens all the time. Hitler, a night before the Russian knocked on the bunker and he had to kill himself, also clapped for himself. Don’t expect the ruling party, which has lost touch with reality and has become delusioned to score itself in an equitable and fair way. If it is out of 100, they will score themselves 110 over 100.” The former minister challenged the government to tell Nigerians what it has done to improve on what happened up till May 29, 2007. He accused the Jonathan administration of allowing every sector to degenerate. “I challenge them to tell us what they have done to improve on what happened up till 2007. Every single sector has degenerated and the facts and figures are there. We now have 80 per cent graduate unemployment; 70 per cent of Nigerians living below the poverty line. In power generation, we were hitting 4,500 megawatts (MW) per day in 2007. Today, we are lower than that. “In terms of foreign reserves, in 2007, we had $47 billion. Today, I think we have $45 billion. It has not progressed, despite all the crude oil sales. The Excess Crude Account, in 2007, was $24 billion; today, we have $7 billion. If we talk of foreign debts, a very important thing, in 2007, we had zero per cent foreign debts; today, we are back to $9 billion and still borrowing.. “So, what are they celebrating? Five years later, we have gone backwards; we have not progressed. First of all, look at your foundation. Have you built on it? The answer is no. They have a foundation, a legacy which was a pretty good one. “Whether you like (former President Olusegun) Obasanjo or not, if you look at his performance, it was excellent. The record speaks for itself. What did they do with it? Did they build on it? No! Everything has degenerated since then. I cannot be impressed with that and so we need a change. Let’s have new people in government,” Fani-Kayode said. The politician, who recently dumped the PDP for the All Progressives Congress (APC), described his former party as a “sinking ship” Then.... Fani-Kayode appointed spokesman for Jonathan campaign News Published on Friday, 02 January 2015 Former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has been appointed as the Director of Media and Publicity for the President Goodluck Jonathan campaign team. The Presidential Campaign Organisation (PCO), according to a statement by the president’s political adviser, Rufai Alkali, will be headed by former National Chairman of the party Ahmadu Ali (Director-General) and Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees Chief Tony Anenih (National Campaign Adviser). Others are Tunde Adeniran (Deputy DG), while Minister of Special Duties Kabiru Turaki and ex Anambra governor Peter Obi will serve as deputy DGs for north and south respectively. The rest include Jerry Gana, Dr Aliyu Modibo Umar, Senator Nenadi Usman, Senator Nimi Amange, Ambassador Emmanuel Imohe, and Abdullahi Hussani Maibasira. |
