Good one

Jonathan is working tirelessly


Only God knows what will happen if Buhari enter power

A man that think he can stabilize oil price with his mind.

Typical of Buhari to act with impunity

After he was elected, didnt his supporters kill 800+

Maybe its a regional thing sha

You cant always have your cake and eat it you know....

pmc01:
I thought 'stealing is not corruption'?

I hope you have sent copies of your 'amazing poetry' to the EFCC, so that they can immediately start probing Tinubu and Amaechi?

actually stealing isnt corruption, thats why theres two separate entries for stealing and corruption in Dictionary.

Buhari does not represent change but a draw back to the military era

The south south deserve a chance to rule

Nigerians deserve to be able to choose their ruler without 800 people dying once buhari and his supporters dont like the result

’Hypocrisy in anything, whatever may deceive the cleverest and most penetrating man, but the least wide-awake of children recognizes it, and is revolted by it, however ingeniously it may be disguised’’



Leo Tolstoy


It just seems like yesterday.

On the 16th of April 2011, there l stood at the receiving end of the treacherous blaze of the Lagos mid-day sunshine. As l looked on in clear contempt for the literally unending snaky line of people on the queue opposite me; enduring the endless jibes thrown at those of us on the other queue, a number of things piqued my mind. My contempt was hinged on one fundamental issue: here we were as a nation, with a chance to for once make a detour from the perilous path we had trod since the new democratic dispensation, and we were on the verge of throwing it all away.

We had a choice to make between Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP and General Muhammadu Buhari who was the standard bearer of the CPC. The battle cry then was ‘’l am voting for Goodluck and not PDP’’. The General had a few days earlier shed tears on national TV and that for me was as bad as it could get. It was a testament to how badly he wanted to right the wrongs that had brought a once great nation to its knees. As l cast my vote for the General, and left the polling booth, l knew it was a tall order expecting the General to win, but l was satisfied that even as a Rivers man from the same South-South geopolitical zone as his opponent, l had voted with my conscience. That alone was good enough for me.

Four years on, we are yet again faced with a similar scenario; with a choice to decide who would lead our great nation for another four years and ironically the gladiators are the same. However, this time, General Buhari as against running on the platform of the CPC is the flag bearer of the APC; a coalition of opposition parties who have made the occupation of Aso Rock their primary objective. To achieve this purpose, they are leveraging on the mantra of ‘’CHANGE’’ as their value proposition. A cardinal linchpin of this mantra is the fight against corruption; yes, that hydra headed monster that has eaten so deep into every facet of our national lives. And who is best suited to be the fulcrum of this proposition than General Buhari, the one man who is touted to be the embodiment of honesty, integrity and incorruptibility.

To be certain, these were the very same virtues on which my voting for Buhari in 2011 was premised. However, like they say, a day in politics is a long time. If we are to do an extrapolation based on this wise saying, you can imagine what four years translates to. Well, the materialization of that can clearly be seen in the calibre of characters the General has surrounded himself with in the APC.

Amongst these are two of the most corrupt individuals to have ever trodden the Nigerian political landscape. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu needs no introduction in contemporary Nigeria. Like a colossus, he has bestrodden this landscape for as long as our memories can take us. Actively participating in the opposition NADECO during the despotic terror reign of Sani Abacha, he became governor of Lagos State during the fourth republic. As compensation for his activism, Tinubu helped himself in no small measure to the Lagos State treasury, a skill he still exhibits masterfully by proxy, under the Fashola administration.

Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi on the other hand has earned his corruption stripes. If corruption were an army, he would easily be a five star General. As speaker of the Rivers State House Assembly, he was the quintessential rubber stamp that sealed the financial debauchery and recklessness that was the hallmark of Dr. Peter Odili’s eight year reign. If there was any doubt about the ridiculous levels of looting perpetuated by the Odili government, the interminable injunction against his being investigated by the EFCC, granted by an Abuja High Court, tells the whole story. As Governor, Amaechi has simply exploited all the ‘’lootocracy’’ skills he acquired under the tutelage of his principal. Between them, these two men; Tinubu and Amaechi, are the biggest financiers of the Buhari candidacy.

The question any discerning mind should then ask is, what really is this ‘’change’’ that continues to be mouthed all about? If Buhari is the epitome of all that is incorruptible, how come he is comfortable in the gathering of people who personify corruption in its rawest form? The unambiguous answer lies in the words of the great philosopher who once said ‘’show me your friends and l would tell you who you are’’. This characteristic blowing hot and cold is only a manifestation of the political ambivalence of the General towards an issue that we are made to believe he stands against. It therefore seems that while this legend of incorruptibility around Buhari has taken on a mythical dimension, when critically analysed based on current evidence; it is just an escapist sophistry leveraged on by his supporters to cover their ideological emptiness.

In the final analysis, it is simply the height of hypocrisy for anyone to say Buhari and the APC represent any semblance of the kind of change Nigerians deserve. I need to be schooled on how Buhari is expected to fight corruption when the very people who are financing him are an embodiment of the very thing. It is becoming clearer that the change mantra is only about the interests of certain individuals as against the generality of Nigerians. Certainly, this variant of change is a Greek gift nicely wrapped in a box of hypocrisy; one that is tempting enough to force a change in the hands that hold the knife slicing off the Nigerian national cake. However, it is one gift that ought to repulse every right thinking Nigerian. As William Hazlitt once surmised, hypocrisy is the only vice that cannot be forgiven. If corruption is defined as a failure of systems, l completely consent that it is a national malaise and its resolution is non-negotiable. However, what l oppose is change for the sake of it ; in this case swapping one corrupt administration with another, without a deliberate attempt to address the fundamental issues that would make a definite difference.

If this is the kind of change we clamour for and deserve, I’d leave us to our consciences.

Let that be the judge.

True. Abati can do better

all thats missing is the whipped cream....got that in the freezer


where my wife?

tinubu the fraud


amaechi the stooge

Dollar galore

ellechrystal:
Do u ve a problem with big ukwu?

a big problem

the ones with big ukwu and small pocket money that are ready to go

Tinubu the Jagaban of Africa


As we can all see Sahara Reporters is largely neutral unless Jagaban doesnt emerge and then I will know they are not as ths would have been a ploy


Back to the matter at hand.

This is Internal Democracy at its Finest....Is Tinubu PDP, no he is APC but he wants to force himself down Nigeria's throat so he can start mortgaging larger parts of Nigeria like he has done LAgos and other states in the South West

This man level of corruption will make Ibori blush and is too intelligent for Akpabio and his ilk

This is the real 419


DOLLARIZATION OF THE NATION

bukatyne:
Depends on individuals and what their goals are:

Some are not interested in a career or a family

Lol. That's what the feminist movement wants you to think. If you had money already, from birth, you would want a family. It's poor folk, angry and resentful people, or money miss road people that downgrade the importance of a family.

In my opinion

I don't really understand the genesis of the amaechi Jonathan rift.

It can't be because of Patience because she interacts with a lot of other people that like her including Nuhu Ribadu.

It can't be because he's cluesless because Jonathan is doing Abuja to Kaduna railway to benefit the Northern region and it's been certified world class by KPMG.
Amaechi is still trying to figure out the mechanics of a monorail. Cluelessness is misappropriated here.

It can't be because he is a hater because frankly when you are controlling Rivers state budget which I believe is top 3 in Nigeria, you don't need to hate on anybody.

I think Amaechi is driven by selfish ambition and a desire to relate with the Yoruba side of his ancestry, the latter of which is admirable.

But he will not be in an enviable position if Buhari loses unless he plans to make Nigeria ungovernable after 2015 in cahoots with the CIA and the usual Northern suspects.

It's okay. Frankly I think Jonathan has a joker or two. This is the best season film some people will watch in their lives. Let us pray for grace to be around to see the spin offs.

na so i see am

Really

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Thank you God.


You see Jonathan is working.


Amaechi bribed APC delegates $10000 each and double what Atiku was giving.

That's why Buhari won.


Progressives?

Utter rubbish.

Jonathan is a man of the people.

Modified

Buhari and co won't negotiate with boko haram on behalf of Jonathan because they don't want him to get the credit under his administration.

It's better for them to allow things go south so Jonathan can be called the clueless ones etc.

The north also lobbied former Secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton to demonize Jonathan in Washington over his firm military comandeering which was quelling Boko Haram.


Tinubu through his media empire and foreign media consultants including David Axelrod, Obama's campaign manager, went to town after the orchestrated Chibok incident which has been the watershed moment of Jonathan's career, and painted him black instead of looking for how to solve the problem.

I have to vote Jonathan because the barbarians at the gate have to learn decorum. Mind you I was Buhari in 2011. I have evolved. I know the sai fulani dogs will soon be at my doorsteps. Goodluck.

Camby:
sure they do,don't get me wrong;timaya once showed a facade of modesty during an interview.

a facade of modesty fah?

Did Nollywood bottle it up and sell it to you proper. That blue magic in the green white green where everyone is looking for gold.

Methinks everyone has a mask...and technology has made it easier for that mask to be unveiled.

We all have to be careful how we interact with each other. There should be decorum.
