PoliticsRe: 7 Months Later; Is Nigeria Getting Worse Or Better Under Buhari? by Rawani: 7:37pm On Dec 13, 2015
MizMyColi:
Where is Beremx and Passingshot?

What about TheVoice, StOla and Rawani?

Ehen, Obailala, where are you?

Don't tell me you're avoiding this thread.

Now would be a good time to give Nigerians an expose on the questions asked above.
I believe we have addressed these issues in the recent past...

The challenges are immense, but you should recognize, appreciate and acknowledge the degree of the rot you handed over as well.

Who failed to solve the electricity problem which we have inherited, and failed to restore the refineries and instead wasted billions of dollars in scam off-shore processing agreements which Diezani and co. used to fleece this country, ultimately causing perennial fuel scarcities all through his tenure? The aftermath is what we live with today.

Who failed to diversify our economy from oil in the time of oil-price boom, and emptied our foreign reserves through a combination of corruption and incapacity to lead which ended in him being tricked by his governors to share the SWF? The DIRECT aftermath of these are the economic troubles we are facing today under low oil prices, and high exchange rates which our efforts to control is resulting in our ejection from bond indexes.

Who supervised the looting and mismanagement of of the defence budget through his aides (Dasuki n co.) which seriously hampered the fight against BH, and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives? The failure to fight the terrorists with political will and sincerity, resulted in their blossoming and is the reason we are still fighting them today.

You see, while we are not blind to the realities that face us today, its is an insult to conscience, logic and common sense for the same set of people that wanted all of the above and more to continue till 2019, to come and pontificate about good governance while condemning a President that inherited these challenges just seven months ago.

Put simply, you lack the moral capital to admonish or condemn Buhari or Buharists.


Enjoy your evening smiley.
PoliticsRe: Nothing To Hide- Dasuki Arms Deal: Iweala Rope Jonathan In With Damning Document by Rawani: 10:27am On Dec 12, 2015
hardbody:
Get me right bro. I am neither for or against any of the leaders past present or future, I am only looking at what should be proper. Having said that, is it good governance for the president to micro manage execution of contracts or implementation of projects based purely on the amount involved? What happened to delegation (of course without abdication).

If an NSA cannot work through the process of procurement and disbursement of those items based on his expertise, is the president better qualified to follow through? If he joined the implementation process and had a wool over his eyes, would he not be more complicit, lets reason together. I usually bow to stronger and higher logic.
The root of the issue is that the funds were not appropriated, a fact which Ngozi clearly acknowledged in her letter, but yet were approved and disbursed on executive order to the CBN. The succeding revelations show that the funds were then diverted to Dokpesi and co. as part of fees for Jonathan's re-election campaign.

These were funds that were supposed to be used to protect the lives of 5,000 soldiers and 25,000 civilians lost to Boko Haram so far.
PoliticsRe: Buhari, The Clock Is Ticking - PUNCH by Rawani: 8:30am On Dec 12, 2015
Jonathan failed to deliver the 2nd Niger Bridge to the SE, failed to develop or clean up his own SS and marginalized the SW which he disregarded till the elections.

Jonathan failed the North, and shot himself in the foot by establishing almajiri schools, when the almajiri system is an ideology (twisted) and not a result of lack of public schools. He failed to develop its solid mineral potentials and empowered thugs to insult the region instead.

Jonathan failed to solve the electricity problem which we have inherited, and failed to restore the refineries and instead wasted billions of dollars in scam off-shore processing agreements which Diezani and co. used to fleece this country, ultimately causing perennial fuel scarcities all through his tenure. The aftermath is what we live with today.

PoliticsRe: Fostering National Unity The Donald Trump Way. by Rawani: 8:07am On Dec 12, 2015
Matthewbriggs:
You are right nairaland is one of many fora's they can express their voices, the impact of nairaland's action in actually terms is not that significant. Come to look at it, nairaland's reach can not be compared with facebook, twitter, radio and word of mouth.

In essense, I am also not saying that this regulation gags and silences them in totality far from it.

My core argument is basically that this regulation gags and silences them on a platform that is suppose to be a beacon of free speech. All it does is send a very wrong precedence for the future.

Terming my argument overtly dramatic is actually you been overtly dramatic.

Fin.
The flaw in your argument is twofold.

1. You have failed to acknowledge the primacy of rights of others, in the process of exercising your right to free speech. Your right to swing your elbow, ends where my right to have an unbroken nose starts.

2. Your core argument is hinged and anchored on 'what NL is supposed to be'. That decision is legally and customarily for a business owner(s) to make, and no one else. It's called a vision and a mission, which can only be guided but not determined by the desires of the customer.

I emphasize that your assertion that Seun's order is a gag order which could silence the agitation, is completely untrue and overtly dramatic, in light of the plethora of fora available to continue the agitation in their desired fashion. The current envelope the message is carried in (hatred, incitement and provocation) is clearly not in consonance with the vision Seun has for his business.
PoliticsRe: Fostering National Unity The Donald Trump Way. by Rawani: 7:36am On Dec 12, 2015
Your right to free speech ends where the next persons right to peaceful existence starts.

There are several other fora where the agitators and their provocative approach could express their voices, so asserting that the regulation of their activities on just nairaland is equal to gagging or silencing them, is deceptive, exaggerated and overtly dramatic.

PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani: 1:51pm On Dec 08, 2015
naijapips02:
Really? But both gave Executive orders for the items in question.
You seem lost in the details.

Jonathan approved the disbursement of over $2.1 Billion and N650+ billion ex-budgetary funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria, under the label of 'security vote' to purchase arms, the same monies were then diverted to his Presidential campaign, including disbursements of over 2 Billion naira to Raymond Dokpesi.

All of this while Nigerians were perishing in their thousands.

There is nothing even similar about both cases.
PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani: 1:43pm On Dec 08, 2015
There's nothing exact about this. You're comparing rocks and oranges.

Hypocrisy is when you praise fashola for doing one thing and condemn GEJ for doing exact same thing.

It never was an issue I was concerned with, to begin with.

Why not research and tell us. If there's nothing, allow the man to focus on his new portfolio as a Super Minister.

PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani: 12:51pm On Dec 08, 2015
You seem to know. Why not tell me?

He does not sign cheques as he told you. Nobody talked about any special executive order because it was a regular expenditure and not ex-budgetary, so it was likely not necessary for that particular project.

naijapips02:
did fashola give an executive order for those projects, Yes Or No.
PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani:
Why? What would he do? What would you do beyond protest which we've been seeing for weeks?

It's clueless Jonathan that hastily denied disbursing the funds that Dokpesi has confirmed, that we are talking about here, not a smart escape artist.

If the award is for being meek in defeat, he should keep collecting them.

kingdompropty:
Even your gods- Sai Baba can't dare touch him. Remember he is picking an award a few days time in the USA. No other head of state in Africa can boast of.

The plot thickens....

There is no way Jonathan can escape this one...

Except if it's possible to be a hero for sacrificing the lives of thousands of Nigerians to Boko Haram, because you want to win an election.
PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani: 9:48am On Dec 08, 2015
I'm not arguing Jonathan's complicity because it is as clear as day. Only Jonathan could have given an executive order for security funds to be released from the CBN. Ex-budgetary funds.

As I said I'm not arguing, take your defence to Abuja when the time comes.

kingdompropty:
The other time I thought Fashola also had the same executive fiat as a governor or was he a contractor?

Iroh88:
It is such a pity how these unemployed "youths" wake up everyday with one objective on their minds- defending those who are responsible for their pitiable state of unemployment and squalor. If they devoted the amount of time they do to defending these criminals to scouring the internet looking for vacancies and applying for jobs, I'm sure they would have found one already.

Just imagine this trash. They can't even allow the man speak for himself, but since it is Buhari's admin, ALL his actions must be condemned regardless of their propriety.

Yet they call themselves "leaders of tomorrow". Never seen such a bunch of useless deadbeats my whole life.

#spits on threads.
Their efforts are in complete futility and their opinions are irrelevant in the actual scheme of things. Theirs is a minority opinion in Nigeria at any time. Remind yourself of this whenever you read their comments and all you'll be left with is the comic value of their delusions.

Safe.
PoliticsRe: Arm Deal Scandal- Like Fashola Jonathan Doesn't Sign Cheques. by Rawani:
Nobody accused Jonathan of signing any cheque.

He is accused of doing what ONLY a President has the power to do; give an executive approval for ex-budgetary disbursement of 'security' funds from the CBN.

Propaganda dead on arrival.
PoliticsRe: Arms Deal Scandal: Where Was Jonathan? -the Sun by Rawani:
At the end of the day, Jonathan must account for his role in the scam. There are no two ways about it.

Wailers can dance and meander around the issue for as long as they like. When the clueless inexperienced looter is pinned down by the goddess of justice, hopefully FireFire n co. will save us their cries and focus on the administration's affairs as well.
PoliticsRe: About OEAS And Their Call For A Referendum by Rawani: 6:34pm On Dec 07, 2015
Nice write-up. The funny identity of the organization was the initial red flag, the agitators will grab onto anything to legitimize their illogical quest.
PoliticsRe: Kaduna State Governor El-rufai Blast Pro-biafra Agitators by Rawani:
The wise Governor and the ruling party are quite aware of the PDP's plan to use IPOB to disrupt this administration and frustrate the repatriation of our commonwealth from the thieves and evil looters that fleeced this country under the last administration. Asari Dokubo who promised violence against Nigeria if GEJ lost is now a ring leader in IPOB.

Northerners must try to ignore this provocation from the South East and allow the military to decisively deal with the criminal arsonists and vandals, since the previously peaceful nature of the protests has been completely shattered and security agents have been reportedly disarmed and killed.

This is a chance for the North to wipe off the label of religious uprising and leave it for those that have decided to wear it boldly on their chests. Kudos to El-Rufai and the arewa governors working hard to ensure that the unwarranted provocation does not escalate.

He joined IPOB. They have failed.

"Boko Haram is PDP, and PDP is Boko Haram".
PoliticsRe: Dokpesi: Money I Received Was For Publicity And Media In Political Campaigns by Rawani:
I said this yesterday. The timelines were just too close.

Rawani:
If you observe the timeline of the disbursements, its completely reasonable and logical to suggest that the arms scam formed a significant part of GEJ's re-election campaign funds.
Rawani:
Jonathan is completely involved. Who approved the ex-budgetary disbursement of $2.1b by the CBN, that lies at the root of this case?

Quote me once the revelation hits FP.
So Goodluck Jonathan diverted funds meant for fighting BH to his re-election campaign while innocent Nigerians were being slaughtered in their thousands? The supposed commander in chief and chief security officer of Nigerians?

We have been vindicated. The 6-week fight against Boko Haram that they postponed elections for was a complete SCAM.

GEJ deserves no mercy.
