You are not better than the people you criticise. Know what that is called? Hypocrisy

Atiku is a colossal failure, who ll dialogue with him. He should either cue in or cue out.

PoliticsRe: Bombs Kill 10 At Pdp Rally - One Person Arrested by Righton: 1:10am On Mar 06, 2011
Every bomb blast is due to GEJ's enemies - convenient isn't it
But it is lazy. It used to be IBB's fault. But no longer. It is now Buhari's fault
But Buhari's campaign was also attacked in Jonathan's home state of Bayelsa
If we assume it is Boko Haram, people will also link it with Buhari
Conveniently forgetting that the greatest operations by Boko Haram was under Yaradua
PoliticsRe: I Got Tricked To Attend Bode George Reception, Says Obasanjo by Righton: 4:49pm On Mar 05, 2011
Vanguard and others predicted the celebration. What is Obj and PDP denying? Obj may even now claim that he is not aware that elections will hold next month!
Can you imagine Obj not being aware of what PDP Lagos was planning for Bode George when the papers had been awash with news of his impending release!

Return of Lagos Boy: Grand reception awaits Bode George as he returns from prison next week
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/02/return-of-lagos-boy-grand-reception-awaits-bode-george-as-he-returns-from-prison-next-week/

"We are preparing for his return. All types of men and women groups from different local government in Lagos State and other states in the South West are expected to come to Kirikiri in a motorcade to welcome him and from  there,  we would proceed to the Cathedral Church in Marina. By 10 am, he would have left Kirikiri in a convoy and by 12.30pm, the Church service would commence at Marina,” said the source."

The Deputy Controller of Prisons, Ailewon Noel, who is directly responsible for Mr. George and the other five convicts refused to comment. The relations and friends of Mr. George are eagerly awaiting his return home and a[b]re planning elaborate receptions meant "to shake Lagos".
[/b]

A PDP stalwart and its Senatorial candidate for Lagos West Constituency, Moshood Salvador, said that Mr. George deserve a rousing welcome by party loyalists. "It is glaring to any fool, any dummy that this is a politically motivated imprisonment. Therefore, it was not Chief Olabode George that was imprisoned; it was PDP that was jailed. And that is why you can see everybody going to that Kirikiri. I visited Kirikiri more than twice in a week because we want to sympathise with him. Therefore, when such a person is getting his release, the relief is on each and every member of the PDP in Lagos state." Mr. Salvador said.

PoliticsRe: Ten (10) Reasons Why You Should Not Vote Goodluck Jonathan In April by Righton: 7:29am On Mar 04, 2011
laplace:
Now I understand the meaning of delusion from the Nigerian context.  Most people here were routing for Ribadu until Bakare joinded the BB ticket.  There is a very high level of inconsistency and I undertand why from the religious point of view.

I do not understand why a sane Nigerian will believe that BB will win GEJ.  Ribadu is even out of the question. 

For me, I took the pains to register as a voter, and I'm taking my time to make my choice.  CPC is no party and Buhari is no individual I can EVER vote as a councilor of my ward, chariman of my local government, governor of my state not to talk of president of my country.  I have too many issues with his person, and I'm sure his governmnet is going to be as clueless, as unpopular, as sectional, as sentimental, as unreasonable, as ethic-biased as most of his followers.  He's a loser on both fronts. 

For Ribadu/Fola Adeola.  They have to wait til 2015.  Ribadu needs to clear his identity and perhaps dissociate from the likes of TNB.  He's a confirmed rogue!

So, who will I vote?  I am a Nigerian, and I think it will be unfair to say PDP or their candidates have done NOTHING in Nigeria or to Nigerians.  Haba! Sentiments apart.  We definitely want better leadership and they've not given us their best, but that doesn't mean they've done nothing.  Who thinks Ribadu or Buhari will be a better leader?  I'm sure they won't.
Tinubu is a confirmed rogue. Who did the confirmation? And what is EFCC and GEJ waiting for
These confirmations come once in 4 years - around Jan - Apr
But Jonathan is not associated with rogues? His own minister CONFESSED to taking bribe and the man is still in the cabinet
Where are the harliburton suspects? Why did Jonathan send reps to Bode George's gig. These are facts

Ribadu/Fola should wait till 2015. Why. Too young I suppose. Buhari, IBB etc are too old. Jonathan is just perfect
Now who is being sentimental?

Ribadu/Fola should wait till 2015. Ribadu needs to clear his identity.
Who is being inconsistent?

Why do you think any  candidate cannot win if he has the programmes and the campaign
Because of sentiments. It is easy to criticise, but examine your own motives

[size=14pt]Fellow Nairalanders,

I think it is time we start telling ourselves the truth.

Something is going on for your information, Lagosians are planing to surprise Tinubu, by VOTING for BRF as the Governor and other credible leaders under the platform of other parties apart from ACN. Can the supporter of Tinubu kindly explain us the polical antecedent of Remi Tinubu which qualifies her as the Senatorial flag bearer of ACN in the Lagos Central District? We all know he owns LCC and the anti-developmental project of Lekki-Epe Toll gate. 3 tolls in less than 15km. Lagosians are not daft.

I am not against his person but I am against his power drunken attitude? Why on earth should BRF Governor of Lagos State, will not have the power to choose his commissioners?

You can call me names but this is a gospel truth.
[/size]
Additional truths - Adedibu's son, Bukola and Gbemi Saraki, Iyabo Obasanjo, Akinjide's daughter, Yaradua's nephew
All in PDP

Yes by all means frown at Tinubu's nepotism, but if you are going to start telling us the truth, make it whole
Partial truth is deceit
PDP is not better.


If you want to vote for others, go ahead but make sure the people don't decamp to PDP
Gov Orji of Abia left PPA for APGA then PDP
Ogun State people "dealt with" Osoba and voted for Daniel. Now they cannot seem to get out of the lesson they are learning from PDP - both Obj and Daniel

Does that make PDP better?

Wat's OBJ doing? Av we forgotten Iyabo is still on track? Are we blind to feel her as the upcoming Senate President? How did Ya'dua got there despite his health status? Lot more from OBJ, abi we do dey dis country?

Did you realize Adedibu's son might av been the next IB Gov. if he was alive?

Saraki dey Ilorin ooooooooo.

All this ppl dey PDP, abi?

Please if we don't like ACN for this reason then a beta alternative is needed not PDP. Or are we ready to be slaves for ever?[/quote]Thank you. I had even forgotten all these
So we ship Lagos State to PDP because of an offence that PDP is guilty of to a greater degree
Iyabo Obasanjo never answered for her crime for which Grange (former Minister of Health) was sacked
She said EFCC was witchhunting her - an argument her dad never accepted when he was president

and she is being groomed for senate president, would have been Olurin's deputy but for alarm raised by some people
Adedibu's son, Akinjide's daughter, Bukola and Gbemi Saraki are all in PDP holding political office

But PDP without impunity celebrate an ex-convict
They say it was politically motivated - by who?
Yaradua was president when Bode George went to jail. the attonery general was a PDP man
Who then motivated it? Fashola. please

PDP can never be the alternative to ACN. But also ensure that the people you are voting for do not make a stop over in Labour or DPN in this election on their onward journey to PDP. Remember Gov Theodore Orji. PPA - APGA - PDP

Yes, it is necessary to start telling ourselves the truth.
This thread is about PDP and Bode George. But you carefully turned it into a matter about Tinubu. I have no problem with that
But 2 things
1. Can you bring the same level of quest for truth to bear on the matter of PDP rally, Bode George and the President's supposed ignorance knowing fully well that[b] At least 2 serving ministers (under Jonathan) were at the church service for Bode George.[/b] Go and read the sermon again. So is Mr president not play acting? His minister of state for health admitted taking bribe. Yet the man has not been sacked!
2. The people leaving ACN should think hard. What is the opposition offering. Are the candidates on their way to PDP eventually. Remember that Ogun State people were bent on teaching Osoba a lesson in 2003. They too are receiving lessons of their life from Daniel who is now a sole administrator of the state!

The assets of N295m he declared in 2007 did not include his wife's
But place N295m in perspective
Deputy Gov for 8 years. Total income of less than N40m!
University lecturer before then
Nigerians - we are being cunningly played!


http://www.naijablog.co.uk/2007/08/goodluck-reveals-his-assets.html

Niboro added: "To the Vice President, this is such a time, hence the choice to send you a copy of his declaration for publication. There is nothing to hide, as you can very well see!"

A breakdown of the assets showed that the Vice President's private buildings are worth N67, 990,000. These include a four-bedroom duplex in Kpansia, Yenagoa, valued at N15 million, a four-flat storey extension of the family house in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, valued at N10 million and a four-flat storey building at Otuoke, Ogbia Local Council, which was bombed days before his inauguration as Vice President, valued at N18 million. There is also a five-bedroom personal residence in Gwarinpa, Abuja, worth N24.99 million.

Under the vehicles and household items, Jonathan declared a total assets of N41.8 million. They include a BMW car in Abuja valued at N15 million, generators, electronics, air conditioners, furniture, kitchen utensils and others in Kpansia, Yenagoa, Otuoke, and Gwarimpa costed at N26 million. The BMW was declared as a gift while the other items were said to be gift or procured from savings.

He also declared some vacant and undeveloped plots as worth N60.538 million. They include five undeveloped plots of land in Bayelsa State, two undeveloped plots of land in Cadastral Zone BO2 and AO6 in Abuja .

Jonathan listed N62, 072, 200 million as accruing from income yielding investments. This comprises investments in stocks managed by City-Code Trust and Investment Company Limited. He categorised them as 16 different stocks in Nigerian blue-chip companies.

The Vice President said that he has four 16-seater passengers' boats for hiring by companies and other agencies.

According to him, total cash in Nigerian banks (Bank PHB, Union Bank of Nigeria Plc, UBA and others is N58.984 million. He stated that the total income includes personal savings and income from his investments, among them performing stocks and hiring of the boats.

Niboro said that the assets declared did not include those of Jonathan's wife, because "the wife of the Vice President is a public officer, being on the staff of the Bayelsa State Ministry of Education, Yenagoa."

"She could, on her own, being in service, declare her assets through laid-down procedures," he added.

As educated folk, we need to think deeply and strategically about what is best for our country and our kids. GEJ really is Fresh Air, we need to give him a chance so that ethnicaly bigoted politics and the enslavement of the average Nigerian can be defeated forever. He is the gateway.

What's with this intolerance you and your kind exhibit on nairaland.Anybody who dares to differ from your POV is a propagandist on the payroll of one poilitician or the other.

The link you posted even faulted you by confirming my position that as at then,some countries were yet to get landing clearnce for their planes even while they were on their way to Tripoli.See for yourself "So far, 213 out of 344 Canadians have said they want to leave Libya. Canada's foreign minister says nearly 200 Canadians have been, or are about to be, evacuated on planes and ships arranged by other nations.

A C-17 military transport plane with 156 seats was on its way to Italy from Germany and would fly to Tripoli as soon as Libyan authorities gave permission.

"
Read very well before criticising. I repeat, read. Countries are evacuating anyhow they can - land, sea, road - because the situation at the airport is chaotic. Read the full story - rather than single out a new airlifting operation being arranged. I can give you additional links
Your problem is that you want to give the impression that the rescue operation under Jonathan is no worse than those of other countries. That is true to the extent that the problem we have is not due to Jonathan - take coffee and read my post. I also said that unlike in the past Jonathan is mounting rescue operations
But you get jittery as soon as any hint of criticism comes Jonathan's way and you switch to defensive mode by reflex action. Jonathan is not perfect - he is human. Attempts to paint him otherwise is not really a good way to justify the pay for that job
Our problem with Libya is due to age-long rivalry and we don't really have the muscle to browbeat them.
Libya cannot deny landing rights to US, China & Co. The airport being under threat makes it difficult to evacuate people smoothly. The situation would have been clearer were Gadaffi in full control of Tripoli and the airport. He remembers what Regan did to him and he cannot toy with the US.
But Libya CAN and will DENY landing rights to planes from Nigeria due to our relative importance. What can we do really?

Another propaganda by a GEJ die-hard. Truth - GEJ has made efforts to evacuate Nigerians unlike what happened in the past.
But truth is other countries are evacuating their people. Nigeria may be having problems securing landing rights because Libya can confront us. How do you think Libya will dare deny Germany, China, France etc landing rights to bring their citizens home? A few tomahawk missiles at this time, with information supplied by people protesting his rule, and Gaddafi will be history.

delimit:
A PDP stalwart and its Senatorial candidate for Lagos West Constituency, Moshood Salvador, said that Mr. George deserve a rousing welcome by party loyalists. [b]"It is glaring to any fool, any dummy that this is a politically motivated imprisonment. Therefore, it was not Chief Olabode George that was imprisoned; it was PDP that was jailed. And that is why you can see everybody going to that Kirikiri. I visited Kirikiri more than twice in a week because we want to sympathise with him. Therefore, when such a person is getting his release, the relief is on each and every member of the PDP in Lagos state." Mr. Salvador said.[/b]

Let all go and vote for credible candidate so as to put PDP in prison for ever and ever as one of PDP candidate in Lagos state had said that Bode George was not imprisoned, it was PDP that was jailed.Moshood Salvador God has answer your prayer
PDP JAILED
The man was jailed under Yaradua. So who motivated it? - ACN, ANPP or CPC?
Was there no evidence of his economic (rather than political) guilt - Nothing good can come from this PDP

[quote author=alj-harem link=topic=611836.msg7799747#msg7799747 date=1298643707]it is high time bode george is released

i mean when likes of tiunbu and obj are still working free why should bode be jailed undecided

thank God is out[/quote]So why only Obj and Tinubu. Do you have special evidence against them? I believe that we have a lot of people from every part of this country who cannot explain their wealth. BTW - I am not sure we should be thanking God that a criminal who was jailed by a courageous judge is out!

recoome:
I wonder y he was in jail anyways, when tinubu & osoba are using "tafa baloguns N20 billion" for campaign.
Exactly! I wonder why we report armed robbers to the Police

So Tafa who went to jail under Obj would have his forfeited assets sold and the proceeds handed over to the most bitter enemies of Obasanjo. This is not really a beer parlour where people are too drunk to even recognise their image in a mirror!
PoliticsCan You Trust Aganga, Dora & Fec? - Finally, Nnpc Admits: ‘we Are Broke’ - X by Righton(op): 10:42am On Feb 25, 2011
Finally, NNPC admits: ‘We are broke’

http://businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/news/76-hot-topic/18480-finally-nnpc-admits-we-are-broke

Austen Oniwon, group managing director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), finally admitted that the Corporation was broke, laying to rest the denials surrounding the dire situation of the state-owned oil firm’s financials which was first brought to the limelight in 2010 by ex-minister of state for finance, Remi Babalola.

“We have to suspend increase in remuneration. The account of the organisation is in the negative; corporate failure is imminent unless urgent transformation is carried out” Oniwon told the stunned gathering.

[b]FG denies Babalola on NNPC, says firm is solvent

Akunyili said: "NNPC, from the auditor's account, is a going concern and does not have solvency issue as a corporation. Therefore, categorically, NNPC is not insolvent


"We have many transactions between the NNPC and the Federal Government. What you saw yesterday was just balances arising from two types of transactions that we have made, and that was the point they were trying to make yesterday. So, it is incomplete and it doesn't give you the complete picture. Once reconciliation is done, payment goes back and forth between the two entities", Aganga said.

He stated that "the payment we made to NNPC is done regularly but as you know NNPC is a great concern that is involved in all the joint ventures we have in the country, and with all international oil companies (IOCs). We still have all the wells and all other parastatals related to the NNPC".
