Don't be too sure of that @Emboldened. Again, Don't be too sure. Not spilling though.

That said, how does a person's choice to take whatever as he deems fit qualify him as clueless?

Second, tell me how and when his clueless status got established?
Was it not a tool your party wielded and forced down the throat of gullible, imperceptible Nigerians?

Btw, are you also QuotaSystem?

A man that had no clue of the corruption going on under him for 6 years, had no clue his ambassador was sacked for weeks, a man that initially denied the Chibok kidnap to go dancing, and then host their grieving parents later is clueless. A man that....

The opposition had its work cut out for it.

You are so wrong ! Never generalize simply because you don't know much. That you stay among lowly exposes group does not make it true that the larger group does things same way. I have many youruba enough me that knew Isoko, Urhobo, Ijaw, "Calabar" (the common misnomer for Efik, Ibibio, Anang, Ekoi, Ejagham, Or on, and several other minorities along the SSE corridor) are different from "Igbo".

First of all, everybody drinks cow milk, even you smiley

Second of all, I believe this thread is in response to Reuben Abati's claim that Jonathan does not drink. I don't believe anyone would randomly ruminate over the issue because we are a drinking country.

Abati was only unknowingly campaigning against Jonathan again with his runny mouth.

Its "oro nation".oron is just a town I.e An LGA and nothing more.oro includes all five LGA that makes u the nation called "oro ".
Just like saying" eket nation",nothing of such exist cos eket is just an LGA but when referring to a nation which include the four LGA that makes up that nation,then u call it "ekid nation" or so.
Nothing like oron nation.

Then again,people are mostly referred to by their language,example a man from england can be referred to as "English",same goes to oron ,mbo,okobo,urue ofong which aswell can be referred to as an "oro man"

Since you know so much why did you ask me question? undecided
You saw where I clearly stated that the language is called oro and the geographical location is called Oron. That's what's important and yes the two acronyms can swing both ways. The same way you'd say Nigerian nation. But Nigeria is not a language is it?

Jonathan carried out the most positive loot recovery without making noise about it.

It should be noted that during the Jonathan’s tenure, the administration presented the Single Bank account for the country, saving billions.

Their electronic payroll payment system and the Bio-metric registration of federal personnel recognized 68,000 ghost workers and over 50,000 ghost pensioners.

The previous government also introduced the Single Contract Requisition system with a legislative oversight.

Oga, wat happened to the $2.8billion that disappeared under Buhari's watch as NNPC chair during OBJ's regime? That 2.8billion will surpase whatever amount that was lost in the whole of Jonathan's tenure, judging by how much inflation must have pushed that value up for almost 40 years now.

Why did Buhari transfer monies illegally into the military account (Abacha's loot facilitator) under Abacha's regime and he still didn't have the slightest shame for saying that Abacha didn't steal any money??

Your saint Buhari is one of the most corrupt human being to have ever lead this country and still holds the record for the most autocratic (tyranny of the highest order).

Well, that is where I blame him greatly. He left his people just because he wanted to please you guys up north and even st that, you all were never satisfied. Most of what he did was up north and I know if he was a Hausa/Fulani, you people wouldn't have thought twice before voting him against Buhari that left office long ago and never had any impact on the lives of the homeless children up north.

How many times did Buhari clamour for the welfare of those children? How many of them did he ever sponsor to acquire skills/knowledge? How many did he buy text books for? How many parents did he advise against the habit of having children and dumping them on the streets in order to fend for themselves?

Buhari is not and can never be better than Jonathan. Take or leave it.

Btw, hear Okonjo-Iweala
It is Strange to Say $20 Billion is Missing from Excess Crude Account
The statement by the governors is totally strange because Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC), meets every month and the ECA is discussed at every session with all the state commissioners of finance present. Nothing is hidden. At these meetings, the Minister of State who is the Chairman of FAAC, announces the balance in the ECA which is then discussed.

“So, governors who want any information about the ECA should ask for details from their commissioners who should have the records of what was discussed and agreed upon”, read the statement in part.

According to the statement, details of the ECA are also published every month along with the allocations to the three tiers of government.http://www.bellanaija.com/2015/05/20/ngozi-okonjo-iweala-it-is-strange-to-say-20-billion-is-missing-from-excess-crude-account/

On the missing subsidy funds, hear Jonathan himself


60% of fuel subsidy funds smuggled abroad –Jonathan

The President, who said this in Abuja during the unveiling of the national identity card, noted that it was unfortunate that after spending billions of naira annually on fuel subsidy payment, majority of the citizens did not get to enjoy the subsidy owing to the fact that about 60 per cent of the funds were smuggled out of the country.

[size=14pt]He lamented that those who smuggled the subsidy funds out of the country were the ones who later turned around to instigate the citizens against the government.[/size]

Jonathan said, “I’m particularly pleased with the National Identity Management Commission because a number of things we are supposed to do well as a nation, we are not doing well. And sometimes, we blame the government because of the failure of the system and the credibility of the process.

On the Missing Pensions Fund...I'll have to remind you that it was an alleged case.
Hear Okonjo Iweala.
No money is missing from Police Pension Fund – Okonjo-Iweala - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/03/money-missing-police-pension-fund-okonjo-iweala/#sthash.jl0ECqeO.dpuf

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Wednesday confirmed that no money was missing from the Police Pension Fund.
This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Paul Nwabuikwu, her Special Adviser on Media, in Abuja.
It said reports that N24 billion was missing from the fund were false.
“Contrary to media reports, the sum of N24 billion is not missing from the Police Pension Fund,’’ the statement stated.
It stated that Okonjo-Iweala had told the Senate Joint Committee on Pensions Administration at a public hearing that she ordered the account frozen to prevent fraud.
The order, she said, was based on reports of suspicious transactions.
“Of the amount in the account, N24 billion was discovered to be an over-estimation of pensions arrears.
“The money was subsequently returned to government coffers as is the standard practice,’’ Okonjo-Iweala said. (NAN)

Having postulated these above, I have always held the position that, unlike you, Buharists, I do not believe that GEJ is a saint who is incapable of doing wrongs and mistakes.
However, I celebrate him and all that he represents to the Nigerian Democracy and Dream.

please, enough of this shyt.. Everybody is looking for favour or support and it then seems like the only time anyone can gain that support is when they acclaim that corruption personified Buhari is a saint.

Lemme help you analyse statements from Wikipedia:

In March 1976, the Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo, appointed Buhari as the Federal Commissioner (position now called Minister) for Petroleum and Natural Resources. When the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was created in 1977,[22] Buhari was also appointed as its Chairman, a position he held until 1978. During his tenure as Commissioner, 2.8 billion Naira allegedly went missing from the accounts of the NNPC in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom. Former President Ibrahim Babangida allegedly accused Buhari of being responsible for this fraud.[23][24][25]

However, according to the Modalities for Coordinating Nigeria's Anti-Corruption Strategies, Constructive Engagement Vol. 1 No. 1 (2009), in 1983, Shagari administration inaugurated the Crude Oil Sales Tribunal of Inquiry, headed by Justice Ayo Irikefe, to investigate allegations of N2.8 billion misappropriation from the NNPC account. The tribunal however found no truth in the allegations even though it noticed some lapses in the NNPC accounts.

@bolded,

If the money didnt disappear, why was there lapses in the account after investigation?
Is it safe to say that Fela was right about the committee being a sham one from a northern man doing favour to another northerner (Shagari to Buhari)?
Is that why Buhari paid back this favour to Shagari when he toppled his government, rather than lock him up, he placed Shagari at the comfort of his home while every other person other than Emir Gwando was locked up?

From the same Wikipedia:

A 1998 report in New African praised the PTF under Buhari for its transparency, calling it a rare "success story".[59] However, the same report also noted that critics had questioned the PTF's allocation of 20% of its resources to the military, which the critics feared would not be accountable for the revenue.

@bolded, little wonder Abacha was never corrupt nor stole any money, according to Buhari.

If I steel money from people directly and give them to you, are you supposed to absorb the blame alone with me seen as not guilty since I'm not the final benefactor?
