Funny, okay not so funny angry I don't remember APC asking such precise ang specific questions from GEJ's government

I have to say this again. I really don't care who leads Nigeria, be it gej or gmb, as far as i am concerned, they are both tools. But, Nigerians have to pick, which they have. So, moving forward, there needs needs to be a psychological reconstruction from the masses and start doing things the right way. You want corruption to stop yet you give bribes. You want cleanliness, yet you litter. You want amenities, yet you evade tax. It takes everyone to make positive things happen.

No one said crime doesn't exist in every country, but your arguement was that law breaking should be seen as a source of revenue. You are delibrately side stepping the issue which is, everyone is responsible for the change that Nigerians so desperately needs.
did you also remember this during gej's government or does it only apply to gmb?

Abeg how e take be selfish philosophy sir?

Is a country no longer made up of individual citizens

You don't get his point, he was asking a buhari supporter that said that for buhari to succeed, we must first be ready to change ourselves first and that buhari's government can't bring change to us by itself and that if he fails, it would be because we failed individually, he called this philosophy selfish because the APC were unwilling to allow the same argument for GEJ, they blamed evey failure on him individually, downplayed as much as possible every success and ascribed every success they could not downplay as happening despite GEJ

This is my problem with most Nigerians; they cherry pick what they want to see. I have to repeat this again.

I did not vote for JEG OR BUHARI. I support neither. My support was for a peaceful election, which in itself is a miracle.

Now i get your point,but remember most times people choose to be pushed before moving.
Should the government not know when to push,if plea doesnt work?

What are you talking about? please, you can, if you have the time, go through my post to see if i ever gave support for either candidates. I have been a strong critic of both. I hope you are not one of those "i will say whatever, no matter how ludicrous, just to win an arguement" types.

You are arguing on the premise of politics, which i have no interest in. This "gej is better than gmb" is not my cup of tea. How can anyone have a problem with personal accountability? it boggles the mind.

Keep blaming others for your inadequacies...

The forum your on was started during times of uncertainties.

Times of war or peace a success ful man will make conditions serve him.

Selfish philosphy you say? Keep waiting for buhaari to come spoon feed you.

Your dad is yet to kick you out for you to make a man outta your self, hence your belief that its a right to be sppon fed. Keep waiting hope the truth won't hit you at 40, you know what they say about the wise and 40

And yet, GEJ not spoonfeeding you is why APC branded him clueless and an under achiever GMB must spoonfeed us whether we need it or not because for all intents and purposes, that is what he promised us by berating GEJ's achievements

You gave your vote to Jonathan not just because he is competent, but because "Buhari is not an alternative"; ironically you're the first to congratulate him. You went to the extent to tell him to fulfill his promise to you. You think Buhari is a föol? You can't have your cake and eat it.

So buhari will now be president to you and others who voted for him only abi Not president of all Nigerians abi Just like GEJ was never president to the core north that didn't vote for him abi Okay! Well, am from the south south, I and by extension we, did not vote for buhari, he should come nowhere close to our resources, let us start applying your logic and see who blinks first angry

C'mon!! Wake up from your utopia and sniff the coffee, calling him "clueless" or "retarded" will be complements when the time comes, we I have planned far worse names for him afterall, what is good for the goose(GEJ) is equally good for the gander(GMB).

OK, you ll see.
If dem born him well, make he fumble

You can't and you know why?

The hausa/fulani north will always come out and vote for buhari irrespective of his performance, the south south and south east won't turn out to vote if his opponent is from the south west, the south west won't turn out to vote if his opponent is from the south south or south east, that is the mutual distrust that the south wests betrayal of a united southern front has brought about, the north central will most likely be split 50-50 due to cultural and political affiliations to the north and religious affiliation to the south so depending on which affiliation has the bigger prevailing sentimental value, we get a 60-40 or a 70-30 either way, do the maths, buhari still ends up winning.
Do you get it now?

The major problem in Nigeria is reposing too much trust n expectations in the President and the centre. For Nig to go past this point, the regions must bind together n develop/work as united but individual entities. Our representatives in the Senate know this n there ought to be a way to hold them accountable for developmental projects expected in their various regions. Unfortunately, greed n party affiliations stand in the way...if only they would listen.
The incessant stealing should be kept aside n let the right things be done, the centre is too attractive n that's why we are d way we are...

That said, GMB/APC had better show that their electoral victory is not in vain. And as has been asked, will 'free n fair' elections continue to thrive or are they gone with the wind? Just a taste and it's no more?

NOTE that we wont be treating our leaders with kid gloves anymore... NEVER!

Thanks for your comment. But to my better understanding, I think GEJ was given enough time to proof himself.

Chigold101:
hypocite that is who you are. Am sorry to be this hash it is not my style though.

You expected GEJ to perfom miracle now your are not expecting GMB to perform the same miracle. It is really a shame.

Why did you people vote (rig) GEJ out?

GMB said then in CNN that it is a shameful thing for Chad, Niger & Cameroun to join Nigeria in fighting Boko haram. He has turned back to say with their help he “hope“ to defeat BH.

It is a shame that many Nigerians couldnt read between the lines.

God help us. I hope we have not moved from frying pan to fire.

Igbos have a saying that says “onye kpatara nku ahuhu kporo ngwere oriri (he who fetched ant infested firewood have invited lizard for a party.“

So am waiting for this party to begin from May 29th.

I know that but the money is being spent judiciously especially in the area of education. Fashola once said that if you are concerned about the future of Lagos give the kids education and the future is safe. the monorail project is capital intensive and time taking although I don't support wastage like that sha but when its completed, the revenue that would be generated would be much to cover up for the lost time and capital.

Please try comparing the cost of fashola's lagos monorail project to the FG's railway line construction not rehabilitation in terms of cost/km then come back and tell me if fashola and thief-nubu are not the countries biggest thieves!!
