Heard Buhari is planning to bribe cambrige to provide fake certificate bt they have refused.....

Say no to drugs....They make you hear all sorts...

I am a supporter of Buhari. I am not sad about the victories recorded by the Nigerian army in the Northeast. I commend our army for the speed with which they are reclaiming territory lost to Boko Haram in the last few years.

I am sad that it took this government all these time and the unfortunate death of thousands of civilians and soldiers to provide the necessary support to our armed forces to prosecute the war against terror.

I am sad that hundreds of civilians lost their lives in Baga and we hear reports today that it took the Nigerian Army only 3 hours to flush out the same terrorists from Baga.

I am sad that the Nigerian Army has recorded more victories in the last 2 weeks than it has in the entire campaign against terrorists....A more positive approach to the war earlier than now would have prevented the needless deaths that have been recorded.

I am sad that in spite of the huge amount budgeted to security over the last 5 years, we are only beginning to see positive results 2 weeks after what would have been our general elections.

So, yes I commend the troops for the magical turnaround in the war against terrorism.....i even commend the FG for finally waking up to its responsibility. But please allow me to be sad and mourn those that have died due to the tardiness in the onslaught against terrorism.

You support his insulting me so that I refer him to the law? Birds of a feather flock together.

I apologise on his behalf for the "insult." Please point out the aspect of the constitution or the law that Buhari breached as stated in your earlier post.

Obinoscopy:
The courts cleared them of all charges and ordered the immediate re-opening of Amigo Supermarket.

http://247nigerianewsupdate.co/update-why-court-freed-amigo-supermarket-owner-jailed-fellow-lebanese-for-life/#sthash.61a52syN.dpuf

I will blame the courts for allowing the owners of Amigo Supermarket to go scot-free.

I won't blame the courts because courts can only adjudicate based on facts before them. If the facts brought against the Fawaz brothers by the DSS (who I believe prosecuted the case on behalf of the federal government) were not hard enough to prove the case of terrorism beyond reasonable doubt, the courts have no choice but to set them free and restore all their rights. Don't forget that the brothers are naturalised Nigerian citizens now, with rights guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.

I think the DSS needs to reopen its investigation based on this new insight. Nigeria must not be portrayed as a safe haven for terrorists. Our image is bad enough as is.

The Federal Government said on Thursday that
troops had so far recaptured 29 towns held by
Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East in the
renewed offensive against them.
The Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr
Mike Omeri, announced this while giving an update
on troops’ operations in the area at a news
conference.
Omeri listed the towns and villages recaptured
from the insurgents in the last two weeks as: Abba
Jabari, Gajigana, Gajiram, Damakar, Kumaliwa,
Bosso, Wanti, Jeram and Karisungul.
The others are: Mafa, Gamboru-Ngala, Malam-
Fatori, Abadam, Marte, Monguno and Baga, all in
Borno state.
He also listed Gujba and Gulani, in Yobe as towns captured from the terrorists.
In Adamawa, Omeri said the troops had retaken 11 towns and settlements earlier held by Boko Haram.
They are: Hong, Mubi North and Mubi South,
Maiha, Michika, Shuwa, Wuro Gyambi, Gombi,
Vimtim, Uba and Bazza.
Omeri urged the citizens to show patriotism and appreciate the efforts and sacrifices being made by the military and other security personnel in prosecuting the war against terror.
He also urged citizens to “shun the trend of
cynicism among some unpatriotic Nigerians” who,
he said, ascribed recent success in the anti-terror
war to external forces rather than the Nigerian
troops.

Wow! That is fantastic news.

I hope they can clear out the other towns before the elections so that life can return to normal. It is sad that it took our government this long to launch a full scale offensive against boko haram...but better late than never.

29 towns!!!

Aipete2:

Ahhh...issorait!

I stand corrected then.

All hail the performing governor of Ekiti State!

9jaroof:
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he will not stop attacking the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

‎
The governor, who said he owed nobody any apology for exposing the alleged hypocrisy of the APC leaders, accused them of placing personal interests above national interest.


Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, was reacting to criticisms that had trailed his campaign for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and his continuous attacks on Buhari.


He however said, he had nothing personal against Buhari.

‎
According to him, the APC has not only packaged lies and tried to foist such on Nigerians, it has also compromised the Independent National Electoral Commission to rig the election earlier scheduled for February 14.

Someone remind me what this chap has achieved so far as governor of Ekiti again beyond handing out chickens and cups of rice to indigenes....

Ekiti people have entered one chance with this guy....they just don't know it yet.

barcanista:
We all know that the so-called interview is arrangee. Common sense will tell us that no mercinary will tell the whole world that he was paid to do such a job. I have no doubt in my mind that both the interviewer and the interviewee are themselves mercinaries.






*I may be wrong tho*

Choi!! Barcanista!!! Even you?

Na wah o!!!

barcanista:
OP what Jonathan commissioned is the second phase. Anyway, what is most important is that we have electricity. So far it has improved significantly. Did we enjoy this under Obj?

Can someone please tell me why this thread has not been deleted and the OP banned??

AKPOSbaba:
NATIONAL Co-ordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday, said that six million members of the group have resolved to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan at the March 28 presidential polls.

He said OPC members took the decision at their National Co-ordinating Council meeting after taking time to assess President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He made the disclosure at his Lagos residence while hosting Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs, Hon Kingsley Kuku, who came to solicit his and OPC’s support for Jonathan’s re-election.
Adams said OPC is rooting for Jonathan because of his human rights records in not arresting or detaining any activist since he came to power, convocation of national conference and promise to implement the 633 recommendations that will help to restructure the country, which he said is in the interest of the Yoruba and South-west.

 

He said: ‘’OPC is a group of six million people. We sat down at our National Co-ordinating Council to decide on who to vote for between President Jonathan and Buhari and the support for Jonathan is unanimous.”

”Now, we have come out to support Jonathan because of the National Conference. We have been clamouring for National Conference since 1992, even our leaders could not organise it. President Olusegun Obasanjo organised the National Political Reforms Conference with a lot of no-go areas. In the end there was a stalemate. ”Now a minority, Jonathan, did it. The only no-go area is the unity of the country. He gave us open cheque to decide the future of Nigeria.”

If the "6 million OPC members" include the 4 that provide security in my Close, then Mr Adams and the PDP are sitting on a very loooong thing.

Those guys are so rabidly and passionately pro Tinubu and APC that they personally remove any PDP posters put up around my Close gate.

The Close chairman had to warn them to desist from such.

These are very intriguing times we are in.

FFK simply outspoke amaechi, he made amaechi feel like a riffraff.

Don't you mean "out lied" Amaechi?

FFK fluently lied his way thru a 30 minutes interview. An utter superfluity of nonsense. (Apologies to Pastor Chris Okotie )

This is Sahara Reporters reporting that Nigetian troops have captured Baga.
http://saharareporters.com/2015/02/21/nigeria-recaptures-baga-boko-haram-militants

They dont like PDP or Jonathan but that is not a crime. I myself dont like Jonathan as i did not like Abacha and also did not like Obasanjo going for third term. Nobody hides stuff again it is the information age. Not liking your government is actually a good thing most of the time. Being supportive of the opposition is also a very good thing.If there was no.opposition in Nigeria Jonathan would never ever have been president. What you are not permitted to do is to hate your country or covertly or actively work to bring down the government of your country through non constitutional means.
That then is treason and you should be jailed.

Guy there are some posts you should not dignify with a response. This one particularly is not worth a response.

lwise:
How many hours does it take to travel from Nigeria to UK?
How comes he didnt grant any press interview before he sneaked out?
Could the prostrate cancer issue be true?
Are they really hiding his health status?

Before 12pm,if I didnt see any picture of him addressing people in the UK,I swear,I will change my mind.

Why wait that long?

Rad1cal:
Why should we leave Fasola alone when he hypocritically critique the FG on this regard.

But going by the discussions on this thread, no one has been able to state for a fact that this government has constructed or even rehabilitated 25,000km of roads across the country.

The link you posted for instance points to a presentation on the power sector reforms and most other respondents have only reacted emotionally with no attempt at concrete proof.

See why a Fashola would speak the way he did?

Rad1cal:
havent you perused the link i provided here ?

I have sir.

The link actually pointed me to a presentation on the power sector reforms.

But there was another slide deck by the Ministry of Works on road projects in 2012.

Do you have a more recent presentation to share?

That would help us verify the statistics.

Rad1cal:
so rehabilitating dead roads doesnt amount to construction. God have mercy

I give you "rehabilitating dead roads."

Now, plus rehabilitation, reconstructions and construction, HOW MANY KILOMETERS OF ROADS HAS THIS GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY DONE

Immune1:
Being lazy or uninterested in doing proper research and probably a little maths doesn't warrant spearheading an attempt to cast doubt into the minds of people, WHY NOT YOU RESEARCH WELL AND DISPEL THE FACTS ALREADY!!!

Beyond your emotional outburst WHAT FACTS EXACTLY HAVE YOU PRESENTED

Immune1:
[s]So are you now suggesting that old roads that were constructed as far back as the days of Gowon and have been forgotten by successive governments before now should be allowed to rot further? Do you even know the history of Lagos-Ibadan,Lagos-Benin and Abuja-lokoja that Obasanjo literally messed up?. After Gowon, GEJ has built the best quality of roads ever in Nigeria and the revival of the railway system will ensure these roads last even longer..........if u wanna still wallow in deceit and denial just keep believing Jonathan hasn't done anything.......i really don't have any words for you......whether you like it or not GEJ is winning this elections. So better start licking your wounds already!!![/s]

Answer the question directly!

Has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads across the country as claimed in his campaign speeches??

torhuke:
don't be silly Op especially with the last line of your post. How old are you? Were you traveling by road b4 2011? Have you been travling by road since last year? Are the roads the same as they were b4 2011.
Don't just sit in your village and cast aspersions. Move out of your mischievous cocoonery, do some travles across major roads and then come back here to tell what you see.

Why don't you present a logical basis for your argument like the OP has done instead of this obtuse attempt at bullying as usual.

The simple question is: Has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads during his tenure as claimed in his campaigns??

If Lagos - Ibadan express way is at least 140 kilometers, has this government built 179 of such roads across the country?

If it has, can you please list at least 20 of such roads and their lengths? Or is there a web page where we can access a list of these constructed roads?

I would be greatly surprised if OBJ has only one mole within the Presidency...the Baba I know probably has a number of sleeper agents embedded within the Presidency.

janus05:
It is becoming more and more obvious that Obama's campaign firm is really at work with APC. The way and manner these APC cyber nymphs attack people with alternative ideas speak volumes. The problem with this strategy of theirs is that less than 5% of the voters are online. Like Lamido recently pointed out, in the social media APC has won. But the results of March 28 will disintegration this fragile anti-Jonathan alliance called APC.

Point out just one of the "ALTERNATIVE IDEAS" mentioned by the OP in his post.

They have turned into a tribal thread just because igbos are protecting barcanista. NAwa ooooo

Hear yourself...

Here2BustnScrew:
I promised to continue in exposing these evil men and their plans. Jonathan has proven to Obama that he is nobody's puppet. USA and Britain wanted him to legalize same-sex marriage but he refused, they threatened to sanction NIGERIA. next Obama planned to spread to Ebola using the man from Liberia, he wanted Ebola to spread through out Nigeria so that Jonathan would have to sign the bill in exchange get cure for Ebola. But GOD intervened and his planned failed. next USA and British refused to sell arms to Nigerian to fight Boko haram. now their plan is to frustrate Jonathan because he refused to do their bidding and then support BUHARI who will be their puppet and legalize gay marriage... Nigerian Beware.. Do not be deceived by these evil men's false promises. They have evil plans, but GOD will disgrace them.

Musiwa, is that you??

barcanista:
Well, let this thread not be about me. Just concentrate on the content. It is Nigeria FIRST, isn't it?

Wow! It is sad to see what you have become my friend. SMH.

In my opinion, you have a right to be bitter about whatever you are bitter about. (because I still do not understand the root cause of your angst) But if I were you, I would retreat for a bit and allow my system purge itself of the bitterness. Then you can return to Nairaland and post objectively even if it is against the APC.

Right now, all of your posts are petty attempts to get back at some people. In one voice, you claim to believe in Buhari but you have overnight joined the ranks of those who are intent on tearing him down by any means.

I am surprised there are members of the PDP here whop rejoice over you like a long lost brother...in saner environments, you would be treated as a pariah by both sides...seen as a traitor by the one and treated as a rank outsider by the other, never quite gaining the level of trust needed to be inducted into the inner caucus.

You and I know there are no fences here so claiming to be a dispassioned political commentator in this here Nigeria is a fallacy

Let me reiterate that I am not the sort to knock you for your personal choices. But been someone I held in high esteem, I believe I owe it to you to tell you exactly how your current position appears to an onlooker.

Take a random sampling of all those who have "welcomed" you to the PDP fold. Don't you see a common trait in them? Does any of them strike you as people who would cross over to the other side just because they have a personal difference with one of their comrades? Isn't it then strange that this rabid supporters are quick to "celebrate" you for being a turncoat?

My brother, use your tongue to count your teeth.

Tranquill:
Yes you are right. Just as Babangida and Abdulsalami brought Obasanjo out of prison, arranged pardon for him and made him president with financial support from Orji Uzor Kalu despite opposition from his fellow yoruba people. and these same people did not make personal demands nor dictate to him how to run the country when he became president.

Are you sure they didn't?

25,000 Kilometers? Where

Dude's album was not the worse o. Matter of fact I still have and play it quite regularly. I just wish he would pay more attention to his art.

This picture could have been snapped at anytime. It is undated and could have been a file photo. It doesn't prove that there were no soldiers at the man's gate.
