and he turned nigeria into a mess in that less of a time

Sunnybobo3:
For Prof. Osinbajo not to be able to calculate how long Jonathan has been in power, he has to present his First School Leaving Certificate.

Jonathan has been in power for 4 years and 9 months as president and 3 months as acting president.

Update: For the records and the benefit of those who didn't pass elementary mathematics; Goodluck Jonathan was sworn in as president on the 6th of May, 2010 following the death of Umaru Yaradua on the 5th of May, 2010;

May 2010 - May 2011 = 1 year
May 2011 - May 2012 = 1 year
May 2012 - May 2013 = 1 year
May 2013 - May 2014 = 1 year
May 2014 - Feb. 2015 = 9 months
TOTAL = 4 years & 9 months

Before then, he was acting president from February 2010.

Ok is this what the journalist is looking for? front page?

This is real wicked! see what gej has turned nigeria to in the world.
hmmmm God dey

tah! no one dares!
even Gej is using indirect pleading and consoling to help himself

GEJ justifying every means of extending elections and possibly extending it further to usher in an interim government.
Though you were seen as gentle and cunning ,but now you are just a desperado, and hungry for more blood.
Jail will be your portion come September 2015 when you will be prosecuted, mr gej

yuncka:
It would have been better if dey converted dem to toilet papers.

it wont have the required size to clean your yansh

KIKIKIKIKI Buhari get money to hire green helicopter? or to even fund millions of dollars operations every month for boko haram?
some idiotsss needs to get their head checked.

This is simply the handiwork of someone close to big time resources like GEJ

PDP is a failed entity. Down they go! evil men.

baccaspace:
There are still more revelation to show that the people around Buhari cannot be trusted. May God spare our lives. We want a better life but not hypocrisy and bitterness. Their antecedents is there for us to read through. History is the greatest judge

You fall my hand sha!

so you mean you have gone back to gej's vomit.

I'm very disappointed in you

Now you can take out your pdp cards and tear it
add a new style to it and let it burn...

what are you waiting for?

Jonathan is a thief. He has stolen millions of dollars laundered through Firearms.
He is afraid of being jailed and prosecuted by GMB thats why he is trying to be desperado

Gogetta:

so what you trying to say?

So Mr collynzo419 wetin you want make i do with the news nah? take soak garri?

this thread should make frontpage. It has been going on too long, when some few people call GMB sponsor of boko haram

what a shame Jona took this man's name to deceive our brothers across the niger river.

myproperty:
So he is not wanted here because he has a contrary opinion to yours? He never said Jonathan is a saint.

Is there any Nigerian president or head of state that is not corrupt? If you know one that is not corrupt mention is name and I would tell you how corrupt he is.

When mentioning the person's name, please also help by giving us your own definition of corruption.

All former and present Apex leaders of Nigeria are corrupt as at when they were in office, the difference between them are the level of corruption and performance in office. some are corrupt and still have one or two things to show, some are corrupt and when they leave office you cant attribute any physical achievement to them.

that is the point of this thread. i know jonathan is corrupt, i am not debating it
so if you think gej is corrupt, then say why

iresearcher:
Omo see bomb

serious bomb blast

vincencior:
Under Jona so much water have passed under the bridge e.g pardoning of convicted criminals.

this is a valid point

So much for power reform

Power: Minister, TCN board clash over Manitoba
February 16, 2015 by Okechukwu Nnodim 1 Comment


The Federal Government’s power sector reforms has come under pressure following a row between the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, and the Board of the Transmission Company of Nigeria, led by a former Executive Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, Ibrahim Waziri.

It was gathered that the row followed a directive to sack the Manitoba Hydro International-appointed Managing Director of TCN, Mr. Mack Kast, for disobeying presidential orders.

It was learnt that President Goodluck Jonathan directed the removal of the Manitoba boss for allegedly resisting the Federal Government’s decision to move the Ministry of Power from the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, to the headquarters of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria in Maitama.

Kast was said to have taken the matter to the industrial unions in the power sector to alert them of the government’s directive to move the TCN to the Gilmore House in Mabushi, Abuja.

It was learnt that the President, Nebo and some other top government officials were not happy with the fact that the Canadian company brought in members of the National Union of Electricity Employees to resist the directive.

Investigations revealed that the minister issued a directive to remove the Manitoba boss because of his resistance of the presidential directive.

It was further gathered that the Kast had the backing of the TCN Board chairman as well as that of the Director-General of the Bureau for Public Enterprises, Mr. Benjamin Dikki.

It was learnt that Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke, had called the President’s attention to the fact that the minister was not empowered by law to suspend or sack the TCN boss.

Source said that the President then directed the minister to invoke his powers in the contract with Manitoba to call for the replacement of the current MD.

The source said, “The Federal Government wants the TCN MD to go because of his role in the recent decision of the government to give the headquarters of the former PHCN to the Ministry of Power.

“The Manitoba man met with NUEE officials, who have been resisting the decision to hand over the building to the ministry, when the minister wrote that the TCN should move to Gilmore House.

“He (Kast) instigated the union’s decision to resist the President because he is occupying the building. You know that the President gave a directive that the ministry should go to the PHCN headquarters. When the minister sent in the information that the ministry was moving in, he (Kast) called in the unions.

“The Power minister suspended him but the board said he (Nebo) had no such power; the attorney-general went to see the President to say that the minister cannot remove the MD and the President directed the minister to invoke the law. The minister then asked the TCN MD to go, but the board again said the minister had no such power. So, that is where we are now.”

It was learnt that Vice President Namadi Sambo held a meeting with key players in the sector on the current impasse on Friday.

It was gathered that the meeting, which held at the Presidential Villa, was attended by Nebo, the TCN board chairman, the ministry’s permanent secretary and other senior officials of the government but officials of the TCN and the ministry declined to comment on the issue.

It will be recalled that electricity workers had on January 18, 2015, staged a protest at the headquarters of the defunct PHCN after they were allegedly issued a notice to quit the building by the Federal Ministry of Power.

The Chairman, NUEE, Abuja chapter, Mr. Wisdom Nwachukwu, had told our correspondent that it was wrong for the government to ask the workers of the TCN to vacate the building when issues of their severance had not been settled.

Nwachukwu also confirmed to our correspondent on Sunday that of the brewing tension in the sector over the relocation of the workers of the transmission company.

He, however, maintained that the Manitoba boss was been blackmailed, stressing that Kast had no hand in the decision of the union to protest against the takeover of the PHCN building by the ministry.

Nwachukwu said, “We don’t need to get the MD of TCN before we do what is right. You know how we work as a union. Rather, I think that they want to make the man a victim of circumstance. There is a Nigerian cabal in the TCN because even before Manitoba came, we have been occupying that building. There are moles in the TCN working for the ministry and this is causing some form of division in the transmission company.

“So, it was a game plan by the cabal to unseat the MD because the white man has been a pain in their ass by not allowing them to carry out their shoddy activities. As a result, they have been looking for an opportunity to unseat him, and when this thing happened, they took him to the ministry and blackmailed him that he was the one that asked us to protest.

“Another thing is that before receiving the MD to that building, we had already told the ministry that they could not take over the PHCN headquarters. So, how will anybody say it is the MD that instigated the union? Is it from the management of Manitoba that we are getting our information? And I will like to also make it known that the ministry does not have the right to sack the MD but the board of the electricity transmission company.”

i dont get it, because of a building the govt is scuttling power plans. where are we heading to?

jorlons:
This is frightening but I expect PDPians to call it propaganda as usual. Well I won't be surprised afterall some progressives are beginning to see info like this as propangada.

and that is very wrong. those are not progressives but kids

SeverusSnape:
I know buhari is more corrupt than Him.

you are not wanted here if you think jonathan is a saint

i wonder what this place is turning into

WombRaiders:
Try another lie.

The PWC report has shown that your Amir Sanusi is a pathological liar.

If Jonathan is a thief then tinubu is an armed robber

Now you agree that Jonathan is a thief
that is where we agree

But think about it, your president with the power of the office is a thief,
then what is wrong with you?
why are you wasting your time supporting him?
can you give me a very good valid and cogent reason?

akamu

i was asking some of my pdp friends this question
and i almost got a black eye for it
so i am asking here to gauge public opinions?
you who say jonathan is corrupt, why do you say so?
please keep your comments matured and clean.

WombRaiders:
The Barcanista thread only showed how your party intends to use and dump its followers once they get to power.

Rather than consider his concerns you turned on him.

please get your head checked
jonathan is a thief, and he is afraid of GMB, coz he will be exposed
which is going to be very surprising.

It is very clear that Jonathan is sabotaging his own efforts, which is very ridiculous to believe in. But this is getting very clearer by the day.
What is Jonathan afraid of? how much did he steal that is making gej to be scared of GMB?

i was wondering if his former 'close' aide means what he says?

Now where are these lovely nigerians?

GEJ don kill them finish!
