Now my own analogy: if you sell fuel say N20 a liter and heard a rumour of strike looming you quickly hurd ur fuel and put a post no fuel at the peak period of the strike u sold it at N150 as against N20 is that stealing or corruption tell me

You are missing the point, duh! Could a Nigerian president afford to make such distinction? Both malfeasance I.e stealing and corruption happens in the corridor of power in Nigeria, didn't you think he trivialises the issue considering what both stealing and corruption has caused Nigerians? Or would you support ur child to steal as long as he's not corrupt, right? The difference between stealing and corruption is the difference between six and half a dozen, IMHO

See this President o, you ain't fighting corruption at ALL ni, either putting people in crates or otherwise.

Sincere9gerian:
In addition, now you know and believe you can use your vote to install the govt of your choice. It is very evident in your post. That would have been impossible in the past. But thanks to GEJ, your vote is now your power. You may take it for granted now until the vultures seize power again and take away that power from you again.

What are you talking about? What of the subsequent elections where opposition were intimidated gestapo style? Busting in party offices commando style? He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. If you talk bout elections talk about all elections under his government, don't use selective memory.

You WILL expose them or you HAVE BEEN exposing them? After six years? You just want to start exposing Come on, duh!

It's obvious you are a kid,who doesn't know that war isn't fought with sticks,but arms and ammunitions.we av' got crude oil to exchange for arms/ammunitions,what do you av'?.parasite

I've seen dumb comments, but this is the dumbest! In fact to say you're dumb is putting it mildly, you're hopelessly dumb

How come he sees only evil? Does it mean God doesn't reveal non evil things to him? Moreover, it's kinda strange that a man of God would bask in having predicted a calamitous event, after the occurrence of the event! Which is what he's doing by posting them video.

- Where is the Ore-Benin road?
- Where is the Ibadan-Lagoes express road?
- Where is Osogbo where "Engineer" Aregbesola has been offering "free" rides on revived trains?
- Where is Lagos where air conditioned trains were introduced to ease traffic congestion?
- Who wanted to make our daughter #4 person in Nigeria as Speaker HoR before Ogbeni Ojuyobo sold out to his slave masters
- Adesina (Agric) and Aganga (Industries) are two key performing Ministers of this federal administration, and they are from which region again?


Is there something else specifically that you want Jonathan to have "done for the southwest region"?
Kindly share with us.
Thanks

<--- you called this development? in four years?? you doing him more disservice by posting C. R. A. ps like this in my opinion . how someone could call revamping trains "development' is beyond me. we are in the 21st century!! we are talking about A PRESIDENT NOT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHAIRMAN!

Tocheagle:
WE DONT NEED THESE BACKSTABBERZ : IF WE LOOK INWARDS, WE CAN SHOCK THEM. This is happening @ a time when we're fighting insurgency. Lets Give china higher attention. And ignore this manipulative fooolz

Did you say China? After China, you would say Russia abi? While the citizens of these countries would relocate to The USA themselves given the option! You must be a mumu ni!

Ongoing 2 x 132kv line bays extension at Omu Aron. <--@First of all, i live at Omu-aran. i don't know where this thing dey. It just occurred to me, maybe Oga Jona do am inside dream.

Is it just me, or this guy look like Patrick Sawyer, the Liberian that brought Ebola to Nigeria

Yes you need to tell the electorate what you have done. since they, the electorate are blind, they cannot see for themselves! Abeg Oga Gana help them see.

So I suppose Buhari has all them faults and Jona is a saint, right? If after six years of being the president, this dude comes up with things like, he gets contradictory advice from people HE appointed! I would take my chances with another guy, i don't care if Albert Einstein days otherwise. Fool me once, with I had no shoes, ain't happening this time.

An average Nigerian man or an average NIGERIAN? Sis, hypocrisy is a HUMAN thing!

Arysexy:

Una abeg this guy pass 23 jor

Nice one, now the real job of defeating our common enemy begin. Let leave all kinds of sentiments aside.

When somebody needs this much words just to show he has performed, then something is amiss. Your performance should speak for you duh! Wen no be blind people you dey lead! 2011 it was I had no shoes, now you are coming with this verbose story! Thank God, we are wiser!

kendrick93:
he really needs to shut it... after mismanaging nigerian funds,he is here forming d good guy.. he is a fool @ 70

duh, he's writing about HIMSELF!! Guessed you don't know what an autobiography is.

2tek:
The constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria is clear. It stated that Tambuwal MUST GO.
68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in
the House of which he is a member if -
(a) he becomes a member of another legislative house.
(b) any other circumstances arise that, if he were not a member of the Senate or the House
of Representatives, would cause him to be disqualified for election as a member;
(c) he ceases to be a citizen of Nigeria;
(d) he becomes President, Vice-President, Governor, Deputy Governor or a Minister of the
Government of the Federation or a Commissioner of the Government of a State or a Special
Adviser.
(e) save as otherwise prescribed by this Constitution, he becomes a member of a
commission or other body established by this Constitution or by any other law.
(f) without just cause he is absent from meetings of the House of which he is a member for
a period amounting in the aggregate to more than one-third of the total number of days
during which the House meets in any one year;
(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he
becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which
that House was elected;
Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in
the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more
political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored.

Obanikoro from defected to PDP from AD! You talking hogwash, duh

Schematics:
This is a right move.

Is he still the speaker of the House? NO

He got Speaker's post because PDP was and is still the majority in the House. Now that he has pitched his tent with APC which has minority in the House, the right thing to do is to relinquish his position immediately he decamped.

I don't know why some people want to create unnecessary attention.

You can't eat your 'gworo kola' and have it back!

You are obviously a mo r o n. So has he been impeached? So who is the speaker?

GboyegaD:
Our people like acting barbaric. They could have pacify the police officers to wait for the lady to finish having her bath instead of beating them up.

Pacify them? WTF! Why would they need to be pacified to allow her finish her bath? If they needed to be pacified, then they got what they deserved!

Vessi:
People you said? They care only about themselves. These politicians steal millions and millions of Naira, leaving Nigeria, Nigerians(including North) people impovrished. Now you think he cares about "his people".
Na you wey dey talk lyk u no sabi these Politicians.

But, Jonathan is different? Him being a saint and all!

Bro, Hatchi nko? The curious case of Benjamin Button?

ocelot2006:
No, we can't produce weapons.....just...

Pistols (Beretta M9, Browning Hi-Power)

General Purpose Machine Guns
Rocket Propelled Grenades
Grenades
APCs (Igirigi, Proforce vehicles, Mekahog)
Tactical Vests
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Amebo series)

Yep...We can't produce any weapons..

let Nigeria make the chopper then.

PhockPhockMan:
Either you're a serious supporter of boko haram or you need a A BRAIN INJECTION. Which America are you talking about? The one that established a torture Island called Guantamo Bay, massacred several thousand innocent people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq etc, in their search for imaginary chemical weapons, terrorists and ultimately, Bin Laden. The invasion of Iraq without United nation isn't it a violation of human rights? We should not fall for America's old tricks of hiding under human rights violations to commit crimes. We all know the kind of evil state of Israel is committing on regular basis in middle east, yet, America remains their biggest supporter and biggest arms suppliers. What of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, despite reported human rights violations in those countries, America supplies them arms.
The bottom line is that America is not comfortable seeing the emergence of a strong African nation, economically, militarily and otherwise. Unfortunately for them, Nigeria is a moving train.

Which Nigeria? This one? Get your head out of the cloud! How is not selling them chopper to Nigeria impedes Nigeria's moving train? Make dem buy from another country nah!

She's nineteen and she's searching? Searching for what? Abeg tell her to face her book.

datolee:
First of all, I must thank barcanista for presenting facts, My position has been, if you must campaign, please do so with facts and not some lies. (Please lets cut out insult and debate like matured people, we will have so much to learn, the only winner here is Nigerians who will become more enlighten and take our government to task)

I'm not here to defend the government, but lets go

1. Before talking about external debt, we must first talk about the revenue and expenditure under these government. We must know that Nigeria's expenditure has been increases on yearly bases, has revenue kept the same pace?

Lets talk about aggregate expenditure from 2004 (the one I could get my hands on)

2004 expenditure was 1.79 trillion

2005 = 1.799 trillion Naira

2006 = 1.876 trillion naira

2007 = 2.266 trillion naira

2008 = 2.492 trillion

2009 = 2.870 trillion

2010 = 4.608 trillion

2011 = 4.226 trillion

As a matter of fact the total expenditure on recurrent expenses was more than the total expenditure in 2007

http://www.slideshare.net/statisense/emperical-analysis-of-nigeria-budget

So my point is this, we have more commitment now than we had during Yaradua and Obj times yet the revenue haven't so much increased (I haven't the fact right now). So the increase in debt is because the government is faced with more expenses, GEJ expended in 2011 about 2 times the expenditure of OBJ in 2007.

By the way, from your post, I would think that GEJ have not done too bad in terms of external debt and here is my analysis

After paying off Nigeria's debt through the paris club whatever, OBJ still borrowed $3.3 billion

Since 2009 that GEJ has been in office, the FG has borrowed $2.42 billion (6.36 - 3.94)

2) When we talk about external reserve depletion, we must look at the value of the Naira! By refusing to devalue the Naira during the tennure of SLS as CBN governor, Nigeria has been using the external reserve to defend the naira... case in point http://www.nigeria-news-world.com/2013/09/i-will-defend-naira-with-reserves-sanusi.html#.VFxC7_mUf-E

As a matter of fact, using external reserve to defend the naira was the brainchild of SLS so much so that the external reserve started raising again once he was removed from the office https://www.nairaland.com/1847921/aftermath-sanusis-sack-foreign-reserve

Here is naira exchange to dollar history https://www.nairaland.com/498412/nigeria-exchange-rates-dollar-history

So let me recap my point

1) External debt increased because we have more expenditure and revenue haven't kept the pace (still trying to find Nigeria's revenue history) plus the issue of theft of crude and output disruptions http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-10-31/nigeria-finance-ministry-says-revenue-gap-may-reach-12-billion.html

2) GEJ haven't done so bad with borrowing, infact, OBJ borrowed more than him

3) External reserve was deplated because SLS prefer defending the Naira with external reserve than devaluing the naira

I hope we will as usual, keep it a clean debate. Thanks

ask your self, why the recurrent expenditure is so high! Only then would you understand, what he meant by saying with nothing to show for it. Or do think a country would show any meaningful development when recurrent expenditure is such a large percentage of it's budget?

datolee:
Please Sir, I'm not a spokesperson for GEJ. My stand is that we must play politics devoid of distorted fact, in worst cases outright lies and selling them as truth. Moreover we should stop re-packaging old time coupist as the Messiah of our time

You're not the spokesman for GEJ, yet you had add your last sentence! You're not indeed!

Mogidi:
Not forgetting the other presidents didn't have the same dynamics GEJ is governing under.

Nigeria did not become Africa's economic power house because Gej is imprudent.

Which Africa economic power house? Get your head of the f u *king cloud!
