"He cried so we could understand what he saw and wanted to change. We laughed at him. We scoffed at his pain and today we cry? Who is laughing last?
"In my lifetime, I have taken certain decisions. One of the biggest and most thoughtful however, was voting the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 elections. I remember arguing with most of my friends during his campaign trail on why GMB [General Muhamadu Buhari] being president would have been the best thing to happen to our country’s already diminishing state. I made a case for how GMB would have liberated our country from the shackles of corruption and corrupt elements parading themselves at the time as leaders.
"Say what you will about the man, he remains, till date, the only individual we tested with the keys to our treasury and our funds didn’t disappear into thin air. Like any other world class leader, GMB isn’t perfect. He was alleged to have abused human rights while he was military head of state but he was never accused of stealing or overseeing the looting of government funds. He remains till date the only Nigerian head of state who never stole a kobo of government money. He remains the only Nigerian leader till date to have never condoned acts of corruption or corrupt elements while he was in the corridors of power. He proved this beyond reasonable doubt as Federal Commissioner for Petroleum and Energy, 1976-78, Chairman, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation and Head of State and Commander in Chief, Nigerian Armed Forces, 1984-85.
"The purpose of this write-up is not to present GMB as a magician or a superhuman who could have waved the magic wand and made all our country’s problems go away in two years. But I am certain that under GMB as president, we wouldn’t have had;

1. A president who is not remotely in connection with the sufferings of the masses.

2. A president who would have been globe-trotting the world while the citizens of his country are driven out of their homes by flood.

3. N5,000,000,000,000 wouldn’t have disappeared under his watch within two years of his administration without a single conviction.

4. GMB wouldn’t have boasted on national TV that he didn’t give a damn about citizens asking him to declare his assets.

5. A terrorist sect that has taken responsibility for murdering thousands of Nigerians wouldn’t have held the nation to ransom under GMB.

6. N2,100,000,000 wouldn’t have put on shoes and disappeared from the Nigerian minting and printing company without people whose sole responsibility was safeguarding these funds answering for it.

7. Fuel subsidy thieves would have been answering seriously for the crimes of stealing from the Nigerian people.

8. GMB as president wouldn’t be spending N1,000,000,000 as feeding allowance.

9. He wouldn’t be leaving our unborn grandchildren with scores of debts that even their generations can’t ever repay.

10. Nigeria won’t be in so much mess both locally and internationally as it is today.

11. We wouldn’t be spending N2,000,000,000 on a banquet hall we don’t need when we have 112,000,000 out of a population of 167,000,000,000 who live on $2 a day.

12. We won’t be inside IMF’s back pockets right now with our neck deep in debt.
"You may wonder if am psychic for pre-empting what Buhari would have done differently if he was Nigerian president today. His antecedents as a leader have brought me to this conclusions. He was a man who during his campaign, advised all criminal elements to flee the country or face prosecution if he became president. He attended every presidential debate to let his voice be heard. He didn’t abscond from confrontation and didn’t shy away from fielding questions.

"Some days to the 2011 elections, GMB wept before a press conference. People claimed it was a political stunt to garner sympathy votes. He was a man who saw tomorrow. He cried so we could understand what he saw and wanted to change. We laughed at him. We scoffed at his pain and today we cry? Who is laughing last? We wail at the spate at which the man we elected as leader (God knows I never voted for him) rape the country dry. Today at least, some of us know better. Buhari was everything, but he was not a thief. He wasn’t a man to tolerate thieves either. He is a man who was willing to liberate the nation from the shackles of oppression and criminality. In my humble opinion, he is a living legend.

Billyonaire: Yes, I am arrogant. What are you gonna do about it ? You think I need your vote of confidence ? Your brain is in your head, locate it and use it.

Are you born again at all? Have you ever seen Papa responding to critics like this? Please be Christlike not just in Words but also indeed.

Well, I have some feelings that GEJ means well for this country, but he's been choked up by some evil machinators around him in the name of advisers and party members. On the other hand, these politicians understands nigerians too well. Just make empty promises, nobody cares if fulfilled or not. Lessons here, speak against any bad governance through your VOTE. This nation belongs to all of us. God bless Nigeria!!!

Whaoo, what a shameful post!.. These PDP/GEJ thugs are mentally retarded. 14 years in power, yet nothing to show for it. Can u separate a Snail from its Shell? PDP is a failure, GEJ is a disaster.. PDP is the bigest boko haram network, Azazi confirmed this, Even GEJ himself said so.. Please learn to put record strait.

Guys please be wise.. These are diversionary tactics... It's a grand plot to divert peoples' attention from Alamesia's pardon saga.. It's a delibrate attempt to play on the intelligents of Nigerians:.. I will never be involved in this..

Yea, It could be better by allowing candidates to have their scores immediately, for future performance (self) appraisal.

I've seen loads of it. Thanks alot. God bless everyone in this forum. Wishing you All the best.

/greis/:
My pleasure, guys. Just use those questions as templates cos Dragnet might not repeat the same questions. I did mine two weeks ago, so I'm sure the past questions are current, cos I bought them few days to the exam.
NB: Pay attention to the Abstract Reasoning Questions...they can be a bit tricky and brain-racking...also, be time conscious. You won't want to spend the whole 20mins reading one passage.
Good luck!

my email add; sayyesben@gmail.com I'll like to have it too , thanks

/greis/:
I wonder why some people take advantage of others because they are "temporarily" in the position to help. Do you have to sell past questions? I mean!
Ok guys, I have the past questions. I bought it for N2,000 but I'm not ready to make it a |business opportunity".... I'll send all the questions to the first 10 emails I get. And please, I don't need recharge cards. Thanks

God bless u bro. Kindly help me out with the past questions. Email add; sayyesben@gmail.com

Got same too. All the best guys.
