You are missing it. SW, NW, NC, NE and ND people have something in common - truth. The problem is the SE folks who take off when the truth is spoken . The ND person is still better positioned to be president than SE. SE are Cowardly liars better equipped to be traders. When Ibasanjo was in power the bulk of opposition to him came from Yoruba people, the most embarassing of them from his own family. Even Jonathan had serious problems in Bayelsa . Buhari was overthrown by northerners and after he returned to power is first victim is the ex NSA. For SE people is is tribalism, clannishness, unprogressiveness of a high order. Someone STOLE our grandchildren money and all the first thing they did was defending him . Even the leaders of the Niger Delta don't have this attitude.

PROVACATEUR:
Buhari will lose SS/SE support faster than a man that wants to ejaculatee

SenseiX:
You guys would defend even the indefensible, worst form of sycophancy.
The American Deep South always votes Republican yet Obama as a true leader treats all equally, Jonathan bent over backwards for the North despite them voting and rooting against him.
This statement if true serves to confirm Buhari as a vindictive bigot, maybe the secessionists are right.
I hope he was misquoted.

AustineE1:
Some of us tried very hard to explain why PMB must allow the local vigilantes(eg OPC and other regional vigilantes)to man the pipelines in their locality but APC came with their usual propaganda,with the aid of a section of the media and the idea was jettisoned,for them every decision is about politics. All in an effort to ridicule GEJs administration and now many Nigerians have died in an avoidable incident,which ordinarily OPC who were formerly incharge,cldnt ve allowed the vandalization in the first place.
This is still a call for state police!
May they souls of the dead rest in peace,as they died trying to survive in a country that never knew they ever existed!

Ibos will and must support Saraki. Let us see how far their joint betrayal goes and lands them the presidency in 2900 or the buhafra they are begging from from Saraki.

Even if Saraki could grant their wishes, it is still a Yoruba man! It seems anywhere ibos turn to in Nigeria is already owned by the same Nigerians they always love to hate!

richidinho:
I DID SAME THING SOME YEARS BACK

voxpopp:
Bro its not hatred...but pure unadulterated truth.

The ibos have pirated the truth just like anything they lay their hands on and they now go about perpetuating a lie that Yorubas are cowards everywhere.

Its time Yorubas starts to speak up and act accordingly. Am sure its that sort of irritating attitude that caused Oba Akiolus outburst...I never blamed the man

[color=#1980BC] [b] Well,first off Buhari never built any refinery maybe he commissioned one or two but he never was part of any team that conceptualize,initiate and build any refinery at any time whatsoever.Now we have gotten that small humdrum out the way tis better for us to come to an agreement as to the fears of these marketers currently brewing this artificial scarcity,if Buhari will shut down subsidy-ironically, the same motion GEJ sought about to initiate but was opposed by the opposition,the cabals and ordinary naive Nigerians decieved in #Occupy Lagos- will these same marketers get their investments back especially now the dollar is at an all time high? If not, tis businness savvy to start a scarcity and sell your product at quadruple the normal rate so as to get back your capital and profit before the new government settles down. We don't see how the blame is Goodluck's instead we have gullible Nigerians to blame who protested against their freedom and occupied Lagos when Goodluck sought to liberate Nigerians from the shackles of the cabal...Freedom,we had the chance to be free or dum(b) but Nigerians were bambozzled by the opposition and cabal into choosing dum(b).[/b] [/color]

#BABAONECHANCE

gateleo:
After fourteen years and five failed attempts to sell the Nigerian Telecommunications Limited, the Federal Government on Tuesday finally handed over the beleaguered first national telecommunications company to new core investor, NATCOM Consortium.

At a ceremony attended by notable persons in the privatisation circle, the Bureau of Public Enterprises handed over instruments of ownership and licences of operation to the Chairman of the NATCOM Consortium, Mr. Tunde Ayeni, who said over $1bn was required to revive the company.

Speaking at the ceremony, Vice President Namadi Sambo, who chairs the National Council on Privatisation said the formal handover was a clear indication that where there is focus and determination, there is a way.

Sambo who was represented by a member of the technical committee of NCP, Mr. Emmanuel Amadi, listed the several failures in the past and added that the success at this time was a reflection of the determination of the NCP and the BPE to increase competition in the telecommunications industry.

He said, “It was the realisation that Nigeria will not attain the desired economic growth without adequate reforms and liberalisation of the telecommunications sector that informed commencement of the telecoms sector reforms in 2001.

“These led to the attempted privatisation of NITEL and M-Tel through strategic/core investor sale to Investors International London Limited. Unfortunately, that flagship transaction failed as the preferred bidder could not meet the deadline for the payment of the purchase consideration.”

He continued, “Failure of first strategic investor sale led to the execution of a management contract with Pentascope in 2005. The management contract did not improve the operational and financial position of NITEL and M-Tel and was terminated.

“Orascom Telecoms emerged the highest bidder with $256m during the second privatisation attempt. Its bid was however rejected by the Federal Government as it was below the reserve price.”

NCP in 2006 adopted the ‘willing buyer-willing seller’ strategy. The strategy which threw up Transnational Corporation as the core investor was adopted to shorten the transaction period since the financial position of NITEL was deteriorating.

Following the inability of Transcorp to turn around the fortunes of NITEL, the NCP on June 1, 2009 revoked the sale of the telecommunications company and its mobile subsidiary.

In another strategic/core investor sale in 2011, both New Generation Communications Limited and Omen International Limited that emerged preferred and reserve bidders could not pay the purchase price and the transaction had to be cancelled again.

Consequently, NCP approved the privatisation of NITEL and M-Tel through guided liquidation. It also on November 11, 2013 approved the appointment of Chief Olutola Senbore as the liquidator of NITEL/M-Tel.

At the financial bid opening on December 3, 2014, NATCOM emerged the preferred bidder with an offer of $252.25m bid price.

NATTAG which had been prequalified by BPE to participate in the process was disqualified as a result of the failure of the company to include a $10m bid bond as had been prescribed in Request for Proposal document.

Speaking at the handover ceremony, Ayeni said immense gaps and opportunities still exist in the Nigerian telecommunications market despite the competition in the industry.

According to him, with a good team of investors and management, NATCOM was ready to make the difference required to succeed. He indicated that the company would roll out services soon after rebranding.

Obasanjo Pre-1999 Antecedent:

General Olusegun Obasanjo rose to power in year 1976 after the assassination of General Murtala Muhammed. He set the motion to transfer power back to democratic administration that last tasted power in 1966. He successfully conducted the 1976 general election that produced the second republic government officials led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Chief Alex Ekweme.
Obasanjo also has the reputation of building Portharcourt II and Kaduna Refineries, and the Warri Petrochemical Company as Head of State. Muhammadu Buhari was the Petroleum Minister/NNPC Boss during this period.

The Pre-1998/1999 "Poor" and Incorruptible Chief Obasanjo

Obasanjo's 1976/79 Ministers boasts that Obasanjo could not boast of more that N20,000 as at 1998. Obasanjo was just too clean that even the BBC described him as "incorruptible Nigeria leader" in 1999. Today we know the rest of the story.

news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/280552.stm


Obasanjo Came With Lots of Promises

1. March 2, 1999: Obasanjo Promised To End Corruption, and To Lead A Transparent Government

In his first public speech when he was declared the winner of February 1999 Presidential Election election, General Obasanjo called for political unity and promised he would lead "an open and fair and transparent government". He also Promised to fight corruption. In His own words "I will fight corruption,"
"Together, we will strive to bequeath to the next generation a truly democratic system of governance for our country,"
news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/289437.stm

November 1999: Obasanjo Also Promised To Revive Ajaokuta Steel Company as well as stamp out corruption
Obasanjo promised to revive Ajaokuta steel and to clean Nigeria off corruption
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/515788.stm

2. May 29, 2000: Obasanjo Reiterated He Will Fight Corruption And There WIll Be No Sacred Cow

in his year 2000 democracy day broadcast, Obasanjo reiterated his vow to fight corruption and there will be no sacred cow. In his own word....
"For corruption, Transparency International awarded us the World Cup...for me I'm aiming put an end to corruption in Nigeria and there will be no sacred cows,"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/766035.stm

3. In 1999 Obasanjo Promised Stable Electricity
Obasanjo vowed to provide stable electricity. In fact his then Power and Steel Minister Chief Bola Ige boasted that the electricity issue will be resolved within SIX MONTHS
allafrica.com/stories/200605260200.html

What Happened Next?

Rather than stamp-out corruption, President Obasanjo was alleged to be enmeshed in corrupt practices. The man who was said to have less than N20,000 before assuming power built a N7 billion Naira Presidential Library for himself, as well as the expensive Bells University of Technology, Otta and other asset. The man that promised "No Sacred Cow" became the complete opposite of his own mantra. The "incorruptible exGeneral" was indicted by the Senate in PTDF scam and was also alleged to have a huge interest Transcorp.

The man that Promised stable Power supply in 1999, had to tell us through his then Minister of State for Power and Steel Senaor Liyel Imoke in May 2006 that "Nigeria Should Not expect stable electricity till 2056" after admittedly spending a whopping N1.3trn on "Power Reform" between 1999 and 2006. allafrica.com/stories/200605150306.html
www.nairaland.com/12883/imoke-expect-stable-electricity-2056

The man that promised to run transparent administration refused to sign Freedom of Information bill in 2007. The man that Nigerians celebrated could not organise a single Free, fair and credible election and treated the court with impunity.


General Muhammadu Buhari

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari like Olusegun Obasanjo has this "incorruptible" tag attached to his name. He was part of the Obasanjo government as the Petroleum Minister between 1977 and 1979. Like Obasanjo, he has vowed to run transparent administration and fight corruption with "No sacred cows". He is said to be "relatively poor" though he has property in Kaduna and Abuja.As at November 2014, he said he only has about a million naira N1m in his account that he had to secure loan to purchase his N27m APC Presidential form.
Like Obasanjo, his election is seen as a "new era" with people having high hopes in him. He promised to give Nigerians stable electricity which he specifically said at his campaign rally in Calabar in January 2015. In his own words “Our industries are dying and will continue to die unless we get the issue of power supply correct. We will resuscitate our industries,”http://www.punchng.com/news/ill-ensure-stable-power-supply-buhari/.


Similarities Between Obasanjo and Buhari's Backers:

In 1998, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and the corrupt military cabals were the major backers of Obasanjo's Presidency. In fact, it was Babangida that asked Chief Obasanjo to run for 1999 Presidential election. People had thought that Obasanjo would put all these people where they deserve by prosecuting them, but on the contrary Obasanjo ended up as being a part and parcel of these people.

Buhari's backers include same Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu that is said to have become stupendiously rich within a short period, Alh Atiku Abubakar that was indicted by the Senate and EFCC over PTDF scam, Bukola Saraki, George Akume, Former PDP Chairmen Barnabas Germade and Audu Ogbeh, as well as prominent players within and outside the PDP that were in government between 1999 and 2013.

Edo State Chief of Staff, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, in this interview with Comfort Oseghale, speaks on the general elections.

How would you assess the conduct of security operatives during the polls?

The conduct of security operatives in the Assembly elections was certainly an amelioration on their performance two weeks ago in Edo State but the same cannot be said of their modus operandi across the length and breadth of the country. They certainly crossed the line of constitutionalism and democratic propriety in states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom and some others, which is certainly depreciable and outrageously despicable.

What would you say was responsible for the low turnout of voters last Saturday?

I’m sure the low voter turnout could be attributable to a vaudeville of ratiocinations. The presidential election attracted more voters ostensibly because that was the political elephant and was therefore occasioned with anttendant publicity ballyhoo. A vast majority of Nigerians were also righteously indignant of the state of economic quagmire, political phantasmagoria and social disequilibrium the philistine and clueless government of President Jonathan has plummeted the country.

They saw in the presidential election a sui generis opportunity to get the yoke off their back and that they did ferociously. This passion was not as frenzied in the last election.

What’s your assessment of yesterday’s polls where APC emerged winner?

I’m not at all in the least surprised as to the marvelous performance of the APC at the polls in Edo State yesterday and this is because it’s a further reconfirmation of the fact that the Edo people are forever grateful to the comrade governor for his tireless and irrefragable efforts in the concrete fructification of the dividends of democracy.

The massive pulverisation of the opposition strongholds demonstrates beyond doubts that the Edo people are no longer prepared to go to Egypt, their political path and that of the comrade governor having utilitarianly intersected at political Damascus.

What effect will the current results have on Edo State’s governorship elections next year?

Of course it is clear now that the political hands and legs of the comrade governor are indubitably strengthened to now guide and guard the succession process to safe destination without fear or favour and let or hindrance.

Edo State is certainly now a one-party state and with the APC in control of federal suzerainty, the comrade governor has become the ultimate godfather of Edo politics but a political godfather guided by conscience, the public good and our collective morality and I wish him well in the days ahead.
