egift: PDP should first remove the iroko tree on their eyes before pointing fingers to the dust elsewhere.

Truth be told - the problem of Nigeria is PDP (poverty, corruption, insecurity, illiteracy, underdevelopment, bad economy, poor leadership, etc)

wow!!! So Lagos state is nt poor, insecure, corrupt, underdeveloped and also does nt have poor leadership( as shown by the examplery leadership of theifnub).....the truth be told, apc can neva win the presidency!!!!!

Sincere 9gerian: I guess Governor Amaechi is now in a dilemma. Damned if he stays in PDP and damned if he moves to the unregistered APC. Either way, disaster awaits him.

dats absolutely correct!!!! D opposition Fooled amaechi to underestimate the powers of the presidency and now they will abandon him nw he is a sinking ship. Am glad pdp(the best party in the whole world) has once again settled this issue like a family affair. Nw president Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan can now concentrate and give us dividends of democracy. #teamnovacancy2015

Nice move GoV. Jang. No matter the outcome of monday's meeting, amaechi's faction cannot raise beyound 13 govs(opp inclusive). I am very sure borno and yobe govs wud attent the monday meeting

Billyonaire: No one leaves PDP and still retain political relevance in Nigeria.

GBAM!!!

I am surprised how this thread failed to make it to the front page even as the mods changed my subject frm 'reuben abati humbles liar mohammed' to 'acn advises pdp ish'.when abu students released a statement calling reuben a national embarrassment, it quickly made front page news....mods b fair to everyone

Moderators, FRONTPAGE please!!!!!!!!!!!!

angelinvestor: Nigeria is in danger, yet thousands of entrepreneurs and investors from South Africa, Lebanon, China, India, etc are trooping to Nigeria to invest and the stock market is booming. Well, it all depends on your own perspective. It you believe Nigeria is toast, then it is toast to you.

ok wise guy, must you put an ethnic coloration to his thread. You yourbas tink making pointless and blindly bias arguments plus the amount of noise that comes with it, makes u argue construtively. Also, lai mohammed is a serial liar. He has said so many lies against the federal govt and nigerians. He lied to nigerians that the SOE was a ploy by GEJ to subdue the opposition. Then later lied to nigerians that the SOE was a failure and not achieving its aim. He has consistently been insulting the office of the president of the federal republic of nigeria only to turn around and say abati is insulting the opposition which even makes him a hypocritical liar. Being a loud mouth makes you no gd critic. Besides an empty vessel makes the loudest noise

[quote author=A-ZeD]Isn't it ironic that to you, you can't equate the presidency with mtn customer care service (which is true) but you don't see anything wrong in the presidency's spokesman using language an mtn customer care person cannot use?

Who would you expect to observe a higher level of decorum:- The presidential spokesman or an mtn customer care service agent?[/quote]from what you are saying, liar muhammed is now an mtn customer service agent.........this is very hilarious.

Gombs: He called buhari a "serial election loser"
God I luff dat phrase

Called ribadu "Ribadu Is An Ethically-challenged Hypocrite"
God I mite choke wen ever I remember dis sentence

And this is the killer punch he gave ribadu

"We find it very sad and utterly deplorable that Nuhu Ribadu has
resorted to shameless wolf-crying, the peddling of arrant
falsehood and the denigration of the elected government of his
fatherland in furtherance of his selfish quest for continued
national political relevance after his wholesale rejection by
Nigerian voters in 2011."

Damn!...I love this wan pass esp d latter parts


And you are here saying GEJ shd call him to order? Did you tell buhari or tinubu to call Lai mohd n ribadu to order?

You must be an onye ofe ose, abi?

looooool....that ribadu piece made my day. Reuben is good

Smartsyn: @OP, must u copy and paste everything.... your type must be very bad in exam malpractice.

exam malpractice Is dat d best u got? Well, I guess u r still a student and still writing exams and obviously involved in exam malpractices. Pls dnt attack me like 'liar' mohammed cos I wud attack you like reuben abati

Akiika: Abati is unprofessional, an official Govt' spokesperson shouldn't be writing carelessly like that, whatever he says is as though the president said it. But face black for Nigeria, dem no see anything wrong. Of course opposition will throw anything at you...but he still need not ignore decorum.

also opposition spokesperson also should not talk carelessly and learn to criticise constructively and not blindly. What is good for d goose is also good for the gander. If they criticise carelessly, then they shouldn't blame abati for doing the same.

[quote author=A-ZeD]With comments like this from 'supposed' educated peeps, Nigeria is in serious trouble.

For your information, when a person represents an entity(company, state or country) he has a responsibility to perform his duties with decency. There's a reason why customer care agents of telecommunications company would never¹ react to a customer rudely irrespective of what the customer says.

No matter what the opposition says, Abati as the spokesman of the presidency should never resort to foul language.[/quote]First of all, u cannot equate the presidency with mtn customer care service. Secondly, should abati 'decently' fold his hands while liar mohammed continues to run his mouth like a mad man. Abati has even helped mohammed by bringing him back to order and restored his mental state to normal once more.

Garri the 1st: Abati is a disgrace to the presidency!!

OP: Misleading topic..

like serious Even 'liar' mohammed wud disagree with you....he has made d presidency very very proud

nku5: I've noticed that PDP has put in a lot of aggression into its statements either about or in response to the opposition. The opposition started the rofo rofo rhetoric to be honest. Lai Mohammed harassed this administration so much that they had to employ Doyin Okupe! Lol

Anyhow its good for our democracy sha let the barbs exchange continue and let the politicians stay on their toes

well spoken....they though pdp wud jst sit down and let dem run their mouths up and down. The truth is that the opposition should look beyong 2015 and start planing for 2019, cos as far as am concerned 2015 is pdp's to lose

God bless GEJ....God bless nigeria and no whr else

Now 'liar' mohammed is begging Reuben to calm down .I guess the heat is now on acn

ACN to Abati: Please, mind your language

Premium Times - 46 mins agoNEWS

The opposition party accuses presidential spokesman of using crude and undignified language on Jonathan’s critics.
The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, has decried the growing propensity of presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati, to resort to the use of foul language against critics of the Goodluck Jonathan Administration, saying such crude verbal attacks may boomerang on the presidency, if left unchecked.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party said there is a difference between a vicious verbal attack, which Mr. Abati now engages in with relish, and a robust response to critics of the administration, which is what is expected of him.

”Contrary to what Dr. Abati may think, ‘attack’ and ‘criticism’ are not synonymous. An effective presidential spokesman is not one who employs gutter language to respond to critics of his principal, or one who makes more enemies than friends for his boss, but one who is able to convey the activities and achievements of the president to the citizenry with dignified language,” the party said.

”By virtue of what is believed to be his sound education, professional training and exposure, Dr. Abati should be well placed to know how to tell a man to go to hell and the man will still be smiling!

”To be sure, the use of dignified language by a presidential spokesman is important because whatever he says is believed to have emanated from his principal.

“It is therefore unimaginable that President Goodluck Jonathan will resort to the use of the kind of language that has been spewing out of the mouth of his spokesman in recent times. To the best of our knowledge, no presidential spokesman in Nigeria’s history has employed such base language in defence of his principal.”

ACN said using such words as ‘ethically-challenged’, ‘hypocrite’, ‘medieval-era ignoramus’, ‘habitual indolence and brainlessness’, ‘descent into moral abyss’, ‘mental indolence’, ‘bootlicking’, ‘hideous and second-rate characters’, and ‘foolish’ to describe the critics of the President is rude, crude, uncouth, unconscionable and uncalled for, and that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

The ACN said while Mr. Abati is “free to exhibit your bombastic prowess, the rarefied realm of the presidency is not the ideal place for that, because when those who are being assaulted with such words respond in kind, it debases the presidency and ultimately hurts the occupier of the office. In a truly global world, such unrestrained response to critics of the presidency also hurts not just the President but the image of the entire country.

”Even if some critics use words that Dr. Abati finds annoying and insulting or engage in criticism that he deems unfair, it is still incumbent on him to avoid responding in kind, simply because he is not speaking for himself but for an institution. It is therefore not enough defence for him to say that he is responding in kind to critics of his boss.

”May we also remind the presidential spokesman that there will be life after that office, and that he should remember that in an era where the power of the written word has assumed more potency for various reasons, it is important to be more circumspect in tongue-lashing critics of the President.

The opposition party advised and encouraged Mr. Abati “to learn to use facts and figures to counter whatever he considers an unfavourable criticism of his principal, instead of subsuming such under verbal pugilistic.”

otokx: Warrior sincere Nigerian carry go, you have raised some valid points but note that we have not seen nepa light in uniport since thursday last week.

sincere nigerian we r totally behind u

alkadriyar: @ OP, why Fashola? Why not talk about uncle Jona? Because am very sure Jonathan shall not just leave Aso-Rock by 2015, but the entire PDP.

anoda NL guy living clearly in a fantasy world. GEJ is goin nowhere in 2015.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]You must be deluded to not see the huge difference between Nasaraw state with limited resources and FG who has access to billions of Dollars begging for a visionary mind to use it judicious to bring development to ever corner of Nigeria.[/quote]so with d visionary leadrship of d cpc, even in d face of little resources like u say hv nt done anytn to boast off in 2yrs. U slowpoke, jst list d little dey hv done. My gov, sullivan chime hs little resources @ hs disposal bt he did a lot in 2yrs, surpassing wat chimaroke did in 8yrs.. slowpoke, tell me wat al makura hs done!!! Fool

berem: go on son! afterall nairaland is free for all.go on with your pro pdp threads.that wont stop me from criticizing GEJ.I will just give you one candid advice.Instead of opening threads trying to discrediting governors who are not members of pdp,use your precious time to do something meaningful.

sincerenigerian is a medical dr and so he is contributing meaningfully to the society. Hw r u , berem, useful to d society?? Hypocrite!!!!

Goddex:

Buhahahaha . . . sharing of assets was all he did as governor of North Eastern state?
The same time, for instance, his colleague the Late Brig U. J Esuene of old South-Eastern state now Cross River state & Akwa Ibom, was building one of the biggest stadia in the the country that uptil now host Super Eagles international matches. Esuene also built a brewery of international standard, establish a college of education and a University that has now metamophosed to UNIUYO among others. All of Buhari's legacies as governor was to share assets among states.

Where is Berem and all other Buhari's asss lickers, can you point to a school, Company or any other major project established by Buhari as governor in the old North Eastern state (now Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba and Borno states)?

see his achievements after he would hv to guts to say gej is clueless

Sincere 9gerian: What has Buhari and his CPC been doing in Nasarawa state? Where is the Buhari MAGIC in Nasarawa? Where are the mouth watery goodies?

I went thru Buhari and his CPC 2011 elections campaign mission statement again. It contained the following, among other things:

"Require full disclosure in all media outlets of all government contracts over N100m prior to award and during implementation at regular intervals"

And:

"Seek to amend the Constitutionto require local governments to publish their meeting minutes, service performance data and items of spending over N10M"

As we speak, NONE of this is being implemented in Nasarawa state.

As it turned out, all na wash!

my brother, dnt mind those senseless hypocrites.....buhari is a wolf in sheeps clothing. he wud b worse than the pdp

karl max: @op u would have started when he was the leader of ANPP. He was the leader of the party when all the ANPP states in the north disregarded the nigerian constitution and governed with sharia law in their ANPP states. How did those ANPP states fare when buhari was the leader of ANPP?

thank you my broda. Let buhari supporters tell us hw anpp states faired better dan pdp wen he ws their leader? Buhari is a desperate man and we won't let hm take that power...he would turn nigeria into an islamic state

berem: Adamu Abdullahi was governor of nassarawa state for 8years.he didn't fix his state to suit his people. Al makura is barely 2years in office and you expect him to perform miracle or tar all the roads in nassarawa in just 2 years? If pdp had done well in the state, why weren't they voted into power again? using nassarawa state as a justification that Buhari will fail if elected as a president, is utter BS!

so u just realised that 2 yrs is too little a time to judge al makura wen ppl like you expect gej to do all the magic in jst 2 yrs Shame on you hypocrites..u people are bad for dis country

damas11111: So if the Nasarawa state governor has failed,it's logical to conclude that Buhari will fail! Fallacy of illogical conclusion. If we go by the same analogy, we shouldn't have even "elected" Jonathan since it's a known fact that Yar'adua failed. In short, we shouldn't have "elected" PDP governors in many states where their predecessors performed woefully.

if you say the predecessors performed woefully, then why do u blame GEJ for all nigerians present problems when they were actually caused by his predecessors?? Nonsense hypocrite

Goodluck to nigeria!!!!!!

seanet01: Liar. Jonathan have done nada in South West. When next i go home, i will ensure i post your failures here pictorialy

Чσυя ignorance would be ur greatest undoing. GEJ is working in all geo-political zones and all you do is hate. People like you r dangerous for this our beloved country

thelastPope: I have had opportunity to be with many important people in this country and if you think for one minute that they are interested in the well being of Nigeria then the joke is on you. Whether PDP or ACN or CPC or APGA! Most of them just want to enrich themselves. I have never had a problem with people criticizing PDP led government. What annoys me is that many of these people like EL Rufai and Melaye are criminals who are just looking for a route back to power and back to looting. I knew people like Aregbesola before he became governor. He is a crook! I can go on and on. GEJ is not perfect and people like us have never said he is, but what is wrong with your likes is you aint criticizing because you love Nigeria. You are criticizing because you are a bigot! You just want a Yoruba man back in power! Your friends from the North like lacasa just want a hausa/fulani back in power. It has nothing to do with making Nigeria better or good governance. Just partisan politics. You and your kind started criticizing GEJ from day one even when there was no reason to criticize him.

I am a patriotic Nigerian and will always be. So I just want to lay that fact down and we move on with the thread! My major issue for posting this thread is to shame all those who keep coming to NL and insulting Nigeria. Many countries have been in worse situation than this and have come out strong. It is absolutely shameful for Nigerians to come out here daily to insult their country and talk trash without contributing nada to its progress. One funny guy was talking trash some while back, telling us the reason why he hates Nigeria. Telling us how bad Nigeria has been to him. Let him come and tell me now if Nigeria did worse to him than it did to Victor Moses. I will continue to pray for Nigeria and contribute my quota! GEJ must succeed and I will give him all the support to succeed. I believe he is sincere and making a lot of right calls. I do not expect him to make everything right overnight. Nigeria is a 50 year mess and cannot be fixed in 4 years but if he can fix power, roads and rails and add up some other stuff like kick start agriculture, he will have done great!

God bless you my broda. I join u and many other patriotic nigerians to fully support president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan achieve hs transformation agenda
