So why is your party not persenting the ''wonderful and strategic'' Fashola as its candidate if not the same ethnicity and sectional bias?
What is the IGR of Kwankwanso's mighty Kano state?
I am sure you will want us to vote him if he gets your party ticket.
You see yourself?

thank you very much. IMHO,this is what the "PDP guys" should be hammering on.this is a far better argument and I can't fault you on it.

tomakint:
This old hag is sick upstairs...but which school did this to you Gbawe. Listen and listen well old one, if Lagos generates that much and it's still like that while Akwa-Ibom with that little is pulling the strings you are here spewing garbage with your old lying mouth!

pray tell,what strings or weight is akwa ibom pulling??
Oga many people here are too intelligent for this your petty argument.
please tell me how a brand new stadium,library and cinema house will pay salaries in the akwa ibom civil service in coming months.

Gbawe:
I have made the same call too umpteenth times. Yet many Nigerians are too sentimental to an extent they are unable to focus on what matters. We must begin to plan for period like this more effectively. The sad reality is that most Nigerian States are now totally screwed if the falling oil prices continues and indeed low per barrel price of oil, below our budgeted benchmark, become the reality for the foreseeable future. This is not something we should play politics with. This is a time to ask serious questions and look critically at what leaders are doing.

word!

Gbawe:
Well-said bro. The above in bold is precisely what I stated also in my post before this one. Shebi Nigerians all had time to be arguing inanely before? Now that 'austerity' is officially here we will see what strength or focus a hungry people will have to be insulting those doing very well while same set of hypocrites are supporting a failed federal government led by the one of the most corrupt, most insensitively profligate and most incompetent leader in the world. Soon, money to browse Nairaland will be a problem for the charlatans who have supported the worthless GEJ government that has gotten Nigeria to this awful scenario where, because of hideous corruption and monumentally bloated governance, we are almost totally unprepared economically for falling oil prices

I keep saying it that as Nigerians we must look beyond shiny objects, look at issues critically and objectively and proffer sensible solutions.
you want to kill a leader who taxes you to put good infrastructure in place but you have no problem relocating to a sane country like the UK and paying twice that amount in taxes.
this is a blessing. maybe we will be forced to hold our leaders by the jugular when they don't deliver after taxing the living daylights out of us because its inevitable.

^^this image cracks me up every damn time.. .
thieves all of them. uduaghan is only slightly better than orji. he is prolly also the worst governor in the SS.
at least Dickson dey try build major bridges in bayelsa

halleluyah! shi.t is about to get real.

it is in times like this that one knows sensible and intelligent leaders.

kudos to fashola and even tinubu for seeing the future and taking measures on time.

kudos to amaechi for even shoring up rivers igr to 90billion. I see no reason why aggressive tax drive cannot drive that value up to at least 150billion.
with drastic cut down in the states civil service, rivers will be just fine.

where is akwaibom? where are MY south eastern states.
its obvious governance goes way beyond building stadiums,swimming pools and viewing centers.

...........and this was the same question i and millions of other sensible nigerians asked in 2011.
unfortunately, sentimental nigerians who happened to be in the majority, drowned our voices and rendered our votes null and void.

look at where we are now in 2014. let me repeat it, i sleep better at night knowing i didnt contribute to the present rot by voting this man,unfortunately i cant say the same of my wife,who on most days, wakes up in the middle of the night sweating because of heat(from a failed power sector).sleep has left her because her vote in 2011 has been haunting her ever since...

is this a joke is the OP being naughty

viewing center?? in addition to the swimming pool he commissioned some months back??
some states do have em....

grandparents who dont want to grow up...

jazzydee:
Its not a picture posting contest of which you are a master propagandist,Aresa AKA phantom. Amaechi has already confessed that he built 1 secondary school in 7.5 yrs as governor. is that a good record? And this is not about akpabio its about Amaechi, Akpabios works speaks volumes by itself, thats why you are trying to use him as measuring standard for Amaechis failure in Education.

the bolded is funny i swear...... speaking volumes!!!
we dont want volumes. show us one blackboard in akwaibom/crossrivers states. just one.


all you and your friends have done are show us HD pictures of a few roads and flyovers,tropicana and a stadium.

please show us what really matters. where are the schools? where are the hospitals?(i know of just the 20th anniversary hospital)
what of human development

bros abeg leave matter. akpabio na shine-shine governor... but no be stadium or library go feed akwa ibom people
my good friend from akwaibom called me over the night. hes son had been ill for a while. i asked him to go to UPTH but he ended up seeing a doctor at ozuoba health center. it was simple malaria.

i can bet you that if it was in akwaibom,my friend would be at UUTH running from pillar to post. these are the things that matter. these are parameters of good governance.

jazzydee:
Whats the situation of general hospitals in Rivers state? The gov. said in the interview that he abandoned the general hospitals to focus on providing Primary health centres, What do you have to say mr spokesman?

then criticize him constructively. yes its not proper to ignore the secondary health centers but if you were intelligent, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE BASIS OF ANY GOOD HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS THE PRIMARY HEALTHCARE. true or false?

he had a priority,and that was to strenghten basic healthcare. contrary to what you and your cronies on this thread think,it actually shows A VERY INTELLIGENT GOVERNOR WITH FORESIGHT.
i am a doctor who works at UPTH. why should i be seeing patients who come with common cold and malaria?? why should i take delivery of a baby in an uncomplicated pregnancy at the teaching hospital why??

a failed primary health system will crumble the secondary and tertiary health systems.

amaechi did well by focussing on the PHC. he should not be castigated for doing that.
speaking of the secondary health centers,are niger hospital,diobu and the dental hospital at garrison primary centers?
abeg reason well!

armadeo:
Ole. If you want MBBS you know where to get it. Everyone is not equal that doesn't mean anyone is expendable.

this MBBS sef dey cause wahala....

abbccc:
LET THEM GO AND SEE WHAT THE IMMEDIATE PAST GOVERNOR OF ANAMBRA STATE, MR PETER OBI DID IN ANAMBRA WITH THE LITTLE RESOURCES AT HIS DISPOSAL AND STILL LEAVE HUGE SUM OF MONEY(CASH,BANKED,SHARES ETC) BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE.....Peter Obi touched significantly all the whole sectors without noise making....He restored sanity and peaceful atmosphere...He cut cost of governance and at best delivered dividends of democracy to the masses

peter obi?? . i am igbo! if you want to talk about governors in the south east,obi would not be in the first 2. fact!

jazzydee:
You are late to the party, phantom AKA Aresa AKA ekoile etc
How is APC lagos?

infact i ll do you one better. please show us any blackboard in akwaibom and cross rivers state PUT TOGETHER!

Gboliwe:
Question should be "where are the functional primary health centres". These are beautifully painted from the outside as I have never seen one of them open to know what goes on inside. The concept would have been "bamm" if these primary healthcentres were thriving but they are not. All the noise is on paper, nothing on ground.

my agents wife had her baby at rumuigbo health center.
my cousins kids were all vaccinated at elekahia health center.
i pass the ozuoba health center everyday on my way to work,and the crowd of patients there is scary.

please,choose a day and visit one the centers.take pictures and show us to prove those health centers are dead.

jazzydee:
I will leave the photshopping of picture and posting of 1 secondary school in 1000 angles to you aresa you are the master in propaganda pictures afterall that what you do for a living for APC with your several monikers aresa aka eko ile aka phantom aka barcanista etc those are all your handles that u use in posting Amaechi 1 seconday school in 1000 angles on nairaland and fasholas 3 secondary school in 3000 different angles on nairaland to confuse the gullible.

On days like this the truth comes out when Amaechi confesses that he has only built 1 secondary school in 7.5yrs and destroys you picture propaganda that took you years and lots of man hours to build.

its official! the bolded has shown you to be quite unintelligent

jazzydee:
you are trying to reduce these to a picture posting contest rather than argue the salient points that Amaechi and fashola has failed Nigerians with their performance in education,

You cant derail these thread we will focus on the issue, not all of us are good in propaganda like you, we dont all know how to photoshop and post 1 image in 1000 angles- thats your area of specialty, but it will not help you here.

the bolded is funny. bros abeg no vex o, please show us just a classroom(NOT A SCHOOL O!) built by akpabio. just one! abeg! okay scratch that. show us JUST A BLACKBOARD in akwaibom. thanks

e be like say d guy don chop too much paracetamol

abi fulminant hepatic failure with encephalopathy from paracetamol overdosage.

pharmguru:
you dont know much about pharmacists....do you?
see, pharmacists are not stuck to the hospital like you guys. they can always find a place outside the hospital. the doctors know that and so, in the actual sense, they are the ones feeling threatened by the pharmacists.
and because of their fears of losing most of their work to the pharmacists, they are fighting seriously to inhibit any form of growth in pharmacy education. Little wonder they were alarmed when the issue of PHARM.D came up. they knew that with any slight increase in the parmacists' clinical knowledge, they will be faced with stiff competition.
so dear, its the doctors that are feeling threatened by the pharmacists. and you know what?...i think the doctors "FEAR" secretly that shud the FG meet the demands of JOHESU, they will lose some of their respects and meet with stiff competition. that kinda explain the reason for their strike action. but dont worry sha....it will remain "our little secret".....hahaha

i just fractured my rib laughing at the bolded.
competition from pharmacists?? dude ,you must be on a very bad acid trip!

this life na just rubbish.....na wa o! chaz b of all people

the bolded in the main post is the lesson or point to note.

saw this post on facebook from a friend. i decided to share here because i found the discourse quite entertaining...enjoy!
P.S; the initials of the posters are used for privacy andsome of the replies are long so bear with me...

post;

I guess the permutations are becoming clearer by the day.

The only candidate who stands a chance of defeating GEJ next year is Muhammadu Buhari.

No matter what anyone says, I prefer Buhari to GEJ any day. I don't think corruption will automatically disappear after his tenure. He may even fail abysmally, but I will support him because we should develop that culture of rewarding failure with a SACK at the polls. It is a culture that will pay us beyond a GEJ and/or Buhari presidency.

[b]Each time we use excuses and ethno-religious reasons to perpetuate failure, we also indirectly kill ourselves, while that quick orgasmic feeling of domination blinds us to the reality on ground. Ask the politicians in the North East, the current hot bed of Boko Haram. They never knew the urchins they were breeding in their quest to dominate the rest of Nigeria would come back to haunt them.

Like I said, if we look at this from the larger picture, we would know that a culture that is able to call a failure for what it is, and reward it appropriately will benefit the whole country in the long run. Once this culture gathers strength, leaders have it ingrained in them that they can actually be booted out of office by the electorate. This pushes them to performance, and not seek to pander to ethno-religious emotions by snapping photos with every General Overseer or kneeling for some phantom blessing.

That culture of reward for failure is exactly the SOLE reason I will choose whoever the APC presents. The brighter the prospects of the candidate, the better. As a swing voter that I am, I may turn out to be the most vociferous critic of a future APC president, because any political culture that will benefit Nigeria has to go beyond political party, ethnicity, religion and stomach infrastructure.

It should be a culture that should smell failure in its infancy, it should be able to voice that failure to its highest heavens enough to produce change if so desired, and should be continuous and self perpetuating enough to repeat its practice regime after regime after regime, elections after elections after elections.[/b]


replies:

Police and SSS teargassed the NASS guys because Tambuwal was going to chair a session to validate or not, the extension of emergency rule in the north. They are collecting signatures right now for a possible impeachment of the President. Very shameful
-I.O
Personally, I have no sympathy for Tambuwal. He was part of the government he is seeking to shit and pee on. And he only left when it became politically expedient to do so. But his current traducers already have their cup full.
-O.A
No one is talking about Tanbuwal. This is the institution of state. This is mutinous! I thing the goat called Nigeria is at the end of the tether really. How do you begin to talk about this!
-I.O
We just have to bear with the system. Its only concerted efforts that can improve it. Millitary is a no no as it never worked for us. I think what we need to master is the art of sacking a failed government at the polls. We never really got there after 1999. We have a chance in 2015.
-O.A


Not sure about Buhari. But, GEJ I know for sure. 101%! He is a Potato President. Uninspiring, unmotivated, unsure and generally unfit to be a leader. -O.O

...for me, its beyond Buhari. I am not as blind as his many supporters, but its more about ensuring failed leaders do not get rewarded with re-election. Many of those campaigning for GEJ I am sure would not let him near any management level of any company they run.
-O.A

I understand some supporters of GEJ though, especially those very close to power. GEJ is their source of butter and bread. The people I do not understand are those who are suffering and smiling like the rest of Nigerians due to the crappy situation of things, but remained fanatical supporters. They need prayers.

But then it's a matter of choice; they are free to support anyone. Austerity measures are here. Naira is crashing, price of oil is heading southward. Jonathanians and non-Jonathanians will suffer the consequences. The Politicians have looted enough for the fast-approaching hard times. -O.O

at the end of the day it's gonna boil down to the *sellability* 'pardon my french' of the candidate, the machinery behind them and how funded their campaigns are, period. Am not gonna go into who solves what problem, and whatever bias we have, what freaking matters is WHO IS GONNA CLOSE THE DANG DEAL !!! What GEJ's campaign team needs to do is to ratchet up to an even higher altitude, the huge extreme religious and ethnic bias about Buhari, and whether you like it or not, that's a gift that keeps on giving. You may end up calling me unreasonable, unpatriotic blah blah blah, but am just calling it as it is. PDP is like the Republican Party in the US, that just walloped the Democrats just a few weeks ago in governors and congressional elections by capitalizing on the smear campaign of the unfounded ills of Obama, which tapped into the unspoken and unintelligent fear of the electorate and that gave them a homerun ! So gentlemen, that's the game of politics for you !!! It's not about who you think is the best at cleaning and fixing the country, it's simply about the depths of the candidate's pockets, and the ability of their campaign team to manipulate the electorate using whatever that can to scare the bee gees out of electorate regarding their opponent. And again l say Buhari is a gift that keeps on giving, because all you need to do is tap into his many extreme religious rants and bias, then you have the electorate eating out of your palms ... -C.C

2015 election is not what it seems to be. It is all about renewal of oil block contract which allows Borno state Aristocrats to make more money from oil than the whole of Rivers state. This election is a do or die and oil wealth is being used to sponsor Boko Haram. If you look at federal appointment pattern it will seem that Borno and Adamawa are highly favoured but do they trust GEJ not to take the oil blocks away from their hand? They are not sure. Jonathan may delegate the process to stern faced Madueke. For the same reason they will never allow the country to be restructured or divided .Nigeria is in a big trap. The constitutional conference failed for the same reason. If Buhari is elected, Boko haram will likely relocate to sambisa forest but Niger delta militants may rise again. Moreover Buhari is already compromised. He cannot probe governors, he cannot probe former presidents. He may not be the same person essentially.My prediction is that GEJ will negotiate away, any plan to restructure the country, realocate oil blocks and change the revenue sharing formula in order to get re elected. The fall and continous fall of oil price is the only majic that will loosen the grip on Nigeria,s throat. -B.O

whatever you say and however the analysis, politics everywhere thrives on sentiments and politicians know how to use it to the fullest. I do not subscribe to GEJ leadership style neither am I sue how Buhari will acquit himself in a multi-religious and multi-ethnic Nigeria. In his previous public outings, it has been shown that he is as strong as his deputy . I still do not understand how his anti-corruption hyperbole will apply to characters like Tinubu and other co-travellers. It will not be as easy as one may think.-A.C

these are the people who make our laws..... , yet someone will get up and tell me that nigerians do not have some level of mental inbalance.

look at our leaders,then youll have a pretty good idea about THE TYPE OF PEOPLE NIGERIANS ARE.

okiezman:
Are you a janjanweed?

direct that question at your fellow gremlins!

look,let's all face facts and call a spade, a spade. the problems of this country have overwhelmed him. Jonathan would have preferred that the chibok girls were all MURDERED.then,he can sleep easy.
his administration can be likened to the wild wild west where anything goes.
his aides and cronies loot with reckless abandon because Oga is ball.ess . corruption is at an all time high because Oga turns a blind eye after all what he doesn't know will not kill him.

we,the Nigerian people ARE ON OUR OWN!(read the last sentence AGAIN!)

we have thieves at the helm of affairs who do not give a rats a**as whether we live or die. the earlier we realize,the better.
NOI was on TV talking about belt-tightening and austerity measures. I was waiting to hear her talk about drastically cutting down the wages of those OUTLAWS at both the green and red chambers,yet nothing! what of her pay and that of her colleagues.
if you guys believe any word that comes out of the mouth of a woman who INSISTED ON BEING PAID IN DOLLARS JUST A FEW YEARS AGO,then all y'all need to have your heads examined.
