Na wa oh!

So, we should allow these Almajiris to be roaming the streets with any future ambition?

taharqa:
Good.

One of the smoothest road in Nigeria today. Fixed under GEJ. Nobody born of a woman would deny the General improvements in our transportation sector in the last 3 years- roads, rails, inland waterways and seaports.

GEJ carry go....

Amen...He may wish to drop it into the hands of his favourite come 2019! GEJ legacies must live on....Nigeria is becoming great!

Okonjo-Iweala said 14 individuals, whose identity she kept secret, were currently standing trial in the law court over the pensions probe initially carried out by the National Assembly in 2013, in which N32bn was allegedly squandered

so why are they keeping the names of these wicked people secret??

I really doubt if anybody has actually been arrested for this..

Any case in court is no longer a secret. I expected Punch to go to the Law Courts, make their investigations and publish the names of the individuals in court.

Our media should also "TRANSFORM" to a vibrant one like GEJ is doing to Nigeria!

Long Life President Dr. Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan!

thegoodjoehunt3:
It was a misunderstanding. The picture was released after Gen. Buhari arrived London and people including reputable journalists and members of APC thought the picture was taking in London.

The journalist who conducted the interview, clarified the interview was done in Abuja.

So there is no plan to lie but a misunderstanding. PDP did not find anything but the journalist that conducted the interview clarified the misunderstanding.

Ok...but why the misunderstanding by the APC? Grievous misunderstanding or may be deliberate misunderstanding...

Boss, with what i saw on AIT showing his campaign "Carnival" in Obio/Akpor LGA....Wike is the next Governor of Rivers State!!!

Hmmmm....Journalists and propanganda!

A secret meeting indeed but we we know the location and points discussed

Flets:
If not Nigerians are illiterates, we would have been asking how Buhari intends to jail corrupt Nigerians.

Which jail can accomodate all corrupt Nigerians?Which non-corrupt judge will prosecute them?

How do you stop them from paying their way through the courts?

Where do you find the non-corrupt law enforcement agents that will implement the law to the letter?

How does he plan to prosecute his partymen when the looted funds can be traced to his campaign?

To what end has such previous fights against corruption been effective?

Even under military where the presidency has ultimate powers, To what end did the fight against corruption go? Did it end corruption?

The bare truth is that this mode of fight against corruption can never work under our democracy .... Never!!!

The only solution is the systematic way GEJ have dealt with corruption. The E-wallet system eliminated the fertilizer scam, the biometric registration eliminated the ghost worker scam and saved over 50bn per annum, the pension reform have put to end the age long pension scam. More needs to be done

By the time subsidy on refined product is removed and crude sold to local refineries at reduced prices.... The subsidy corruption will be eliminated.

Nigerians need to push the state governors to sign the freedom of information bill, with that allocations to state will be on a live e-site and expenditures on such funds can be updated live. Nigerians will have the opportunity to make comparisons across the spend patterns across different states.

Nigerians need to wake up and stop playing illiterate. This is the only way out of corruption. Anybody who tells you he will fight corruption..... Ask him how and test the feasibility.

God bless you! Here is my email address: rolchi@yahoo.com. Lets become friends, please!

I can't believe I read the book from cover to cover such an enlightening book filled with expository details on the Civil War, you can tell Alabi Isama knew his onions unlike the lying Obj....I bought mine @ Asaba.

Me too! I read mine from cover to cover. I was fascinated with the maps and other documents. I also have the book "My Command", it is so bland. I got my copy of Alabi Isama's book from Jumia

Gbam! End of Discussion.

lakhadimar: ... And i am sure you are aware that the Ibadan-Lagos road within the Ogun state axis has the presence of the Redeemed christian church, MFM, Deeper life, Foursquare and NASFAT which is a moslem organisation.

Is it possible for a mosque and a church to be on the same street/road anywhere in iboland or hausaland? The only place wherein you can find such i:e a mosque and a church on the same street, is in Yorubaland. The Yorubas are tolerant

In Bonny Island, a Church and a Mosque share a Fence and club directly opposite! Southerners are tolerant too!

JasonMM: There are a lot of haters in the system. It should be noted that the Rivers Monorail Project is not about Gov Amaechi, He will leave the position by Next year. The question should be "How do we re-position Rivers State as a the Oil and Gas capital of Africa?". All over the world, projects of this nature are designed in Phases. What you guys are seeing is the Phase 1A of the project (UTC - Sharks Park) 2.6km. This will be completed by the end of the year. Phase 1B is a 3.9Km stretch (UTC - Waterlines). The design and framework for this phase has already been concluded. All of us know of the London Underground; last year they celebrated 150 years of the London Metro (It started with a small stretch). It should also be noted that they are still constructing. If subsequent governments come in and extend this system to Obigbo and even Omagwa airpot, you can imagine how this town (PHC) will be like. we will be the envy of other states.

It should be noted that this is the first Monorail in Sub-Saharan Africa. We should be proud of what we have. I have attached the Frequently Asked Questions on the Monorail for the consumption of the enlightened ones here. It was in the papers (Thisday & Nation) on the 17th of July 2014.

Thank you oh! But, my question is: Why didn"t this first phase start from either Waterlines to Rumuola or Rumuola to Artillery where there is excruciating traffic? Even Consider that Obigbo end down to Eleme. That is my question oh! Why start from the front of government house where there can never be severe hold_up in another 20 years.

Symphony007: this is the starting point of the project, it is projected to run into aba road to waterlines, rumuola, etc...in five years from now, rather than enter taxi and bus that chock aba road. A single train can transport over 100 people from waterlines to lagos bus stop. That's planning and forward thinking.

OK...let me agree to this your point. Since this is a long term plan and this monorail starts from Lagos Bu stop and it has taken 8 years to do this, why didn't he start from Obigbo down. At least, we have a large population from that end that can begin to enjoy it even if it is between two bus stops?

What I a msaying that starting from Lagos Bus stop to UTC where there is no traffic at peak period....don't you think that this is not forward thinking?

Symphony007: there is a reason the train started at lagos bus stop. That's because that is the location of the central office and it is the start of port harcourts buisness district. The plan is it will run from lagos bus stop to UTC, UTC to waterlines, waterlines to rumuola, rumuola to airforce,etc... Up to obigbo. Surely this project will not be completed in one day. 100 years after the new york subway was built, work crews are still blowing up the earth in manhattan to create new routes. We just need the next government and government after to remain committed. I address the reason for the high price. The RSG's partner pulled out leaving the government to complete the first phase alone. Monorails are expensive. Considering the epileptic state of power supply in nigeria, it has to provide it's own power. We don't need monorail now? When we will need it? Years later when million more cars enter port harcourt and traffic becomes hell? Take a look at port harcourt's traffic today and imagine what it will be in future without good mass transit system. It will just strangle whatever economic growth that was suppose to happen in the city. Start today. Step by step, we'll get there and you'll look back and say were will we be if this was'nt there.

Ok...we noted. Lets hope the next government will continue up-til Garrison, Rumuola and Artillery, Eleme Junction, Obigbo. We just pray!

ibietela2:

sorry, i know it as UTC

Yes, I agree ... Leventis is still way up along Aba Road.

But this Monorail James Bond Movie sha...Na only God go judge. Simple civilians like us who are not contractors or politicians, we just wonder at such monumental waste of public funds. When I remember the number of concrete CFA piles driven into the ground and the cost of a singular pillar (being into construction myself), my heart aches. Problem is Amaechi doesn't see it as failure. He still uses it as a political gain. If only he listen to sound economic advise, Rivers State for now does not need a monorail in any location. What is needed is good road connections and then at best, light rail. If had done Rumuokoro, expanded Rumuola as a minimum, in fact....I will follow him till Fourth Term in any elective position he wants to go.

Teh problem is that his administration still flag it as one of the projects delivered to the people. If you live in PHC and you know that place, you will cry.

Oh I weep...I just cry

Nigerians and fear! The Impeachment of Nyako is simply democracy at work! Nyako can very well go to court and torpedo the impeachment, if he feels he has been injured. the courts will definitely restore his rights. Why all the cry and pointing accusing fingers at the Presidency. We all remember Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State. He was impeached by PDP HOR in Anambra State but the courts restored his rights and he eventually worked with the same HOR member and even winning a second term (something, no democratically elected governor has done in Anambra State).

This is purely democracy! Holding the Government to accountability. It is a welcomed development. I believe that soonest, we will get to the point where a constituency will even recall an elected representative for lack of performance. If Nyako is honest and the APC a serious party, they know what to do. It has happened in Nigeria before and it can happen again.

Anyone pointing accusing fingers to the Presidency is not a DEMOCRAT and does not wish our democracy well including the APC and Buhari himself.

Uche,

Sorry to hear your story. However, the way you are going about this is improper. First, there isn't any contract between y ou and the church or between you and the Rev'd or any of his appointed rep. So, you have a lost case already. What you did is "purely" a gift. How can you spend NGN200,000.00 to do a job that is unsolicited (as you claimed) and expect the intended recipient to cough out that amount of money? It is not done.

The photograph is a gift and so far, with the manner and way you are going about it, it will land you in serious trouble. Now, withdraw this open letter and do your best to see the Rev'd privately and appeal to his good conscience.

I wish you luck.

Reuben is correct! See

Abagworo:

East-West Road should have been completed long ago. Amaechi's problem with Jonathan came to limelight after Amaechi openly demanded for FG to hand over East-West Road for him ad other Governors to construct.

http://tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/component/k2/item/3871-amaechi-orubebe-and-east-west-road-E28098warE28099

Amaechi is playing propaganda and we all know it. No state government can do the E/W Road, especially the lot in Bayelsa & Rivers States. If Amaechi has got the money, let him complete the Mono Rail for Mass Transportation. And I wonder what mass transportation is there, when the so called monorail so far done since 6 years is from the beginning of Azikiwe Road up to Station B/Stop. For those of us that live in PHC, we all know that from Azikiwe Road to Station B/Stop is very very very well strollable and currently, there is never a traffic congestion on this route except if there is traffic bottleneck.

ikennaoma: Brother u hv proven a point. But there is one thing u must understand here when one is talking of a federal govt project,he is not referring at projects being done by federal bodies. This federal bodies hv there own annual budget. Expansion of imo-rivers road is a typical example of federal govt project. My brother u should admit that the present president is not doing anything. What he is best in doing is privatisation our national companies. During Yaradua's tenure we saw lots of federal govt projects. He was determine 2 provide power that will serve d country. He embarked on massive rehabilitation of refineries. Throughout his tenure d price of fuel was stable and d power projects he started was at completion stage. So brother when u are creating a thread don't bring sentiments into it. We should learn 2 use d media 4 d well being of d citizens. That's my take

Thanks for your comments, but do provide name(s) of the refinery(ies) that was(were) massively rehabilitated by Yar'Adua.

ISpiksDaTroof: But you didnt go through hell when the likes of Umar Dikko were ravaging the country's treasury?

Sir/Madam,

What were your experiences then?

Please, get Soldiers of Fortune and read...just incas you "never had any experience of that regime" then.

Compliments of the season.

Obiagelli:
waiting for a link to back that up, sure we queued both not because of scarcity. Importation was on most products were banned to encourage local factories. Just like the car policy coming up in January.

Ok...let's see your link? But get that book and read. You will gain a better understanding of the man Buhari and General Ibrahim Bademasi Babangida.

But I still stand to be corrected..."essential commodities" were scarce. We queued for simple groceries in Nigeria. Oh, I also remember when the currency was changed. The color of one naira then now became the color of today's ten naira.

Obiagelli, we went through hell then. Seriously!!!

Obiagelli:
where is the food scarcity in your link? Reason why I refused to answer taharqa question.

Obiagelli, I have read your posts about Buhari's govt. What Ogb5 said is true. I remember then as a teenager, my mum queuing for essential comodities like sugar. Even then, we could not get "ordinary" toilet roll. We resorted to use of paper. Sugar was scarce. Nigerians became very enterprising then.

If you believe your coupist Buhari so much, read "Soldiers of Fortune" by Max Silloun.

Bihari can never rule Nigeria again. APC will never sell him.

Happy Birthday, dear Mr. President; Dr. Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan, GCFR!

BigBenoski: I just marvel at the naivity of those who think this conference is going to change a thing. The structure of this proposed conference is hugely flawed, in that the outcome of the conference would be forwarded to the national assembly for ratification. The lawmakers will kill every good thing in the report and we would have ended up justying oshiomhole for calling the conference 'a mere talk shop'. Our thieving lawmakers do not need any national dialogue to make good laws for us; they have just refused to do it. We'v been crying for eons for them to reduce their allowances. How did they respond to that? More increament. i'm averse to any national dialogue in naija, whose outcome are not binding on the national assembly.

Sill, let's talk and let it be on record that the National Assembly, the second arm of government and the symbol of our democracy FAILED Nigerians. Brother, there are so many things to talk about to push the country forward.

blaqoracle: then go back to your state to do business so that you can also enjoy zero taxation.

Exactly the reason why we need to talk. We need to define an indigene and a citizen!

greenremote: the truth be told.irrespective of what pro-jonathan say on this forum,the president and his inner circle knows he cannot win election either by truth or crook without the support of the breakaway G7 governors.when people post comments on this page,i laugh because they are ignorant of the fact on ground,the top 4 states(kano,lagos,kaduna and rivers)where high number of votes emerges are outside jonathan's control.he is beginning to understand this hence his option of national dialogue.it is going to be a david-golliat battle for jonathan to rule nigeria after 29th may 2015.

How are you sure of this? "Elections" is a "science". Ask the former ACN! Let's meet again to talk about this in "2015".

Wsdm:
May be the one he also said in a foreign land was also forged. They are deceiving you in advance to cover up their lie. Oh goodness, Why do we have liars as leaders? How can you be so gullible to believe that all these governors can lie against just one man of unprecedented cluelessness.

No stress brother. What Nigerians are saying is that the Baraje led nPDP should show us the document now! It is never difficult to produce a written standing agreement by any party when there is a disagreement.

nPDP if you are serious about 2015, show Nigerians the document NOW!

Rhemar: hw long is this supposed to take them b'cos they've been saying this a long while now

Exactly...make them show us this document. They should stop playing to the gallery. Show the document now or forget 2015!
