if this is GMB Line of thought and ApC manifesting:
chai!! na one chance Government be that o!

Nope Mr. Will u rather the APC keeps quiet about such misleading narrative put out by overzealous media houses, then a year or two down the line, the government comes out and says "NO we ddnt say that" when it wl b mo difficult to clear?

This same media house told us that GMB walked out on the custom boss...which so many people believed but for the prompt rebuttal.

The APC have learnt some lessons from the PDP, among which is letting a narrative fester in the public domain whether factual or fictitious-mind you this contributed to GEJs/PDP downfall!

Like I asked you; did u c anywhere in the writeup where GMB categorically said that he wd make the dollar at par wt d Naira. Of course there isnt, but the headlines is creating creates a misleading perception which u r now seeing as Nigerians entering "One Chance" which it is not!

Does this mean that this report by Vanguard newspaper is false?

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/ill-make-naira-equal-in-value-to-dollar-says-buhari/

Are you asking if Solomon is monogamist?

Mr., do u jst form an opinion from reading headlines? If you could deductively reason, you wont b asking that question. Is there anywhere in that piece with the misleading headline where he said he had some magic wand to make our Naira at par wt d dollar.

Just like he said concerning our girls kidnapped by Bokoharam; is it acceptable that our girls are still missing? NO
Is there a chance that they wont b found? Regretably, Yes! Does that mean we wont keep searching for them? Not at all...after all the world is still lookin for a plane wt hundreds on board!

Firefire:
Thank you.

Is it that you can't make deductions out of what you read or u jerk off on misleading or mischievious headlines? I dey shame on your behalf!

Can u please highlight where he said or even implied that he wl make d Naira at par wt d Dollar.

Dont start some semantic rigmarole; jst highlight where he said such in that link or forever remain shut and stop littering this forum with inane regurgitations that has basis in logic.

theorbiters:
I get your point sir, but let me put this to you... I have neva been a partisan and would neva be, I among the few that actually watch and reason... How I wish nigerians would just sit and think critically... APC has more in its agenda than what it let on for Nigerians to know.... I still can't believe that nigerians are quick to believe that these politicians are there to play the game of democracy with pure intents.... Well, time would tell

U r entitled to ur opinion but the issue is the APC is not yet in government and my advice is wwhy not wait for them to take over first so that 200million Nigerians will begin to see what u have seen by critical thought on your part?

Lets say I agree wt u, question is, what do u posit we do?

kaboninc:
Thanks for the remainder.

Actually by having a representation of all ethnic groups means that each state should provide an indigent to be represented in government, at the ministerial level.

Nigeria is like Solomon, and that is our strength. Our diversity is our strength and ALL groups must be considered and factored in, for any meaningful progress to be made. In as much as you must have to cut cost, you must not put to detriment, the very fabric that binds us together as a people.

I hate to go on and on about this with u and cant place my hand on why u dragging a simple issue.

What I see comin from u is semantic rigmarole; At first u said ALL(250+) ethnic groups must be represented at the centre which I couldnt fathom and that compelled me to take on u.

Now u beat a retreat aand come back to d main argument of the topic at hand by sayin that an indigene should represent d ethnic groups of a particular state at d ethnic level.

My position remains same: Ur position of "effective representaion" does not equate to "effective governance" considering d attendant costs. If this government is to succeed, ds is one way to go among other avenues to cut down on recurrent expenditure so we can have more on capital projects.

U acknowledged what I said about Nigeria being like Solomon but u ddnt maake mention of him takin on unnecessary responsibilities of Wives and Concubines(Ministers) who handle Ministries with overlapping functions that is a clog in the wheel of governance.

Yes Nigeria's strength is in her diversity but the Ministerial appointment from every state which u align wt does nt show the strength of dt diversity. The strength of such diversity is seen when the creative ingenuity of the ethnic groups is tapped for developmental purposes-that is d definition of strength in diversity which gives birth to effective governance, not some "effective representation" by ministers who dont evn kno d ethnic groups in their home states.

theorbiters:
For quite a while I've been feeling sorry for Nigerians who think that the APC led govt. is a govt. for the people. Nigerians believe that democracy is on a rise in this country, but ye are all wrong... You all fail to notice that APC is trying hard to consolidate their position as the only party in this country.. They are trying to make Nigeria their own property. If not so, why are they trying to raise dust on states where they lost the elections? Or is it only PDP that rigged the elections? When PDP was in power, everyone complained, Jonathan conceded, people called him a weakling, now APC is doing everything to make sure they win in every major hold if not everywhere in this nation, and Nigerians think it is all about change... Nigerians has sold a diamond, just to acquire a shinning stone and they are happy... Time would tell..

Wouldnt it have been wisdom on ur part if u only waited for the last three words of ur comment to begin to reveal what this government portends?

Should we wait for "time would tell" or should we swallow your rant wc at best is what it is, hook, line, sinker and even d fishing crew?

In my opinion ur argument is flawed becaause it is built on sinking sand-emotionalism. Is there a provision for seekin redress if one feels there is a case of electoral malpractice? If the PDP or any other party doesnt feel compelled to challenge election in any state, I think they reserve the right.

This is an issue bordering on law and the sooner we test certain peculiar situations in the court of law, the more confidence is built in d judiciary.

Let me summarise all u said: What u are saying is that Jacob shouldnt "cry" at the supposed death of a "Joseph" all becos Jacob has 11 other kids abi?

kaboninc:
Achieving a 'lean' government should not stop you from having effective representation of all ethnic groups in your team.

Mr. let me remind u since u seem to have forgotten.
There are 250+ ETHNIC GROUPS in Nigeria; what does that tell you?

We are complainin of d humougous cost of runing such an overbloated government with ministers from evry state, you want to kill us by bringing in "ethnic groups".

You wl agree wt me that Nigerians convergence point in government is not "effective representation" but "effective government" and if cuttting down on representation will make the government effective, why not?

Nigeria is like a Solomon wt 300wives and 700 concubines.

anonimi:
You mean the Mega clueless directionless promises he cannot fulfil

Are you aware there is a provision for one minister from each state? Will your DoroDullard Buhari create 36 ministries to fulfil these requirement or MARGINALISE some states?

Yes, our constitution mandates that ministers be appointed each state of the federation but goin about jerking off on that only makes you half smart.

Simple question: Can this portion of our constitution be easily amended with the APC in control of the houses?

So take a chill pill, if GMB government takes this route to achieve a lean government considering the dire straights our country is in economically, it wl b quite expedient!

austinkenneth:
I believe the fuel subsidy should be removed BUT on the conditioned that the savings therein be utilised judiciously. That has always been my position.


But why will our politicans keep changing mouth. Why say what you don't truly belive in just to win the masses over. That is why we must scrutinise every of their promises next time.

This applies at all levels -Presidential, Governorship, Senatorial, House of reps etc. It's even worse at the lower echelons.

This is not "changing mouth" Mr., Poolicy decisions are dynamic due to knowledge and prevailing conditions.

Shouldnt GEJ have thought of removing subsidy only after revamping our comatose refineries wt d oil windfall wc we had before it now plumetted? Talk about puttin the cart before the horse.

GMB was right about what he said back then n he will be right to push for its removal now wc in itself is an inevitable occurence.

EFCC I laugh! Someone that has stolen so much that he can bribe a judge. GEJ was just been democratic in nature, he refuse to tamper with the judicial system while the opposition does. Do you remember what waziri said "how can we fight corruption when some people have the money to bribe a judge, hire SANs and turn a court room to a party meeting". Do you remember that jonathan tried to probe tinubu with all this said allegations, tinubu went ahead to hire 245 SAN and 115 lawyers, in that same court proceeding, aregbesola and all other party faithful went to the court and start singing "solidarity forever". How then do you expect a judge to act in that situation? Wake up guy

What are u saying exactly? I cant seem to glean anything from ur opinion.

Are you saying that people like Tinubu are above the law? Anywy in law...if u allege, the onus of proof is on you.

Yes, u can laugh all you want about the EFCC Now and you will b right because of how it has bn rendered impotent by the outgoing government but in OBJ time despite its taken on a political hue, it still had some as a Minister was prosecuted among others.

The scenario u painted makes absolutely no sense to me and bears no significance in logic!

EggovinMma:
Reading.

I don't understand what respect one gives for not voting a lagosian.Is JK not a lagosian? Is democratic process of voting ones choice now a disrespect to a traditional throne in a federal nation?The igbos dont own lagos, I agree, but they still constitute a huge percentage of its population, and has the constitutional rights to vote and be voted for, in other for their interests to be favoured through good policies.

I dnt think what you have posited is the meat of the article.

The article just tried to address the gross disrespect few igbo leaders have shown the Oba of Lagos after his unfortunate statement.

This whole brouhaha is like a case of a drunkard who is owing so much at a bar close to his house. The man's children have promised to pay at the end of the month but for days on end after the bar owner has agreed to be paid by months end, the bar owner kept embarrassing and harrasing their father.

This will get to a point where the man's children will get angry and decide and tell the bar owner to do her worse.

This is what is happening now!

Yes; the comment was unfortunate but like u said, is the oba going to be breathing down your neck in the polling booth? Going on and on about this by the igbo community and makin the whole thing complex with every passing does no one any good.

I remembr some yoruba fella said that it is only a bastard that will vote for PDP; were there yoruba who still voted PDP and will still vote today? Of course there are/will!

The president wife took a swipe at the North as "born throway" people...was there this much noise generated? No, but their PVC made the Noise!

If the igbo community feel "they are owed so much by that drunkard, instead of embarrasing the drunkard, isnt it better they wait for the end of the month?". Today is the end of the month.

In my opinion, whoevr wins between Agbaje n Ambode,the damage has been done olredy n fence mending should begin in earnest immediately to save what is remaining!

Simple question; If PDP has dt much evidence as portrayed by d damning documentary, what stops d EFCC frm picking him up?

Stop tellin us all this rubbish abt Tinubus mother stealin palm kernel..answer d qstion.

Mortiple:
Bros why you dey lie!

If indeed he was joking, his joke surely deserves an award of MOST EXPENSIVE JOKE by a monarch.

Y do u think he is lying?

How does a joke meant for a select few become an expensive one..

I guess u gorged on d slimy and divisive vomit of d folks who wanted to gain cheap political mileage frm a banter between friends and u cant stomach d fact that someone has decided to come clean and put d narrative in its true perspective.

So I expect this whole brouhaha over nothing to be put to rest by this clarification.

rexbuton:
Patience Faka Jonathan will be forever remembered as a strong woman. Even though she was uncouth in speech severally, she held her fort and her husband's.

She did what most Nigerian women cannot do, she defended her territory ruthlessly, even compromising a state governor in the process.

If Goodluck Jonathan was half the man Faka is, he would have still been president today

Wrong....absolutely wrong!
How did she hold her fort? Please dnt make me laugh at ur level of reasoning!

A woman who gives her husband heart attack anytime aa mic is put in front of her held her fort?

A woman who turned her homebase (Amaechi-Timipre Sylva) on her husband, held her fort?

A woman who turned a whole voting region on her husbnd, held her fort?

Let me make this simpler for u;
Imagine dt supercilious woman ddnt start a storm with a person like Amaechi dt snowballed into d governors forum crises then the defection of not 1 but 5 governors wt moles left behind to bring d house down frm wiithin, wouldnt her husband have had a better fighting chance in d just concluded elections and maybe, just maybe, her Husband might still be president!

If u not married, I pray u get such a woman for a wife or a mother inlaw.

I cant hear ur Amen, Mr.

Easier said than done. This is democracy and not military regime. You can stem it but not totally eradicate it.

Yh but no government wl give u utopia. Evn in china or Asia wia ppl r hanged for sundry offences, u wont get such but atlist government officials kno there are consequences unlike in ds outgoing governmnt!

But imaagne what we could do wt funds embezzled by 10 out of 20 govment officials. Buhari as a person cnt flush out corruption but there r institutions saddled wt such responsibility wc have lost bite over time. What IF somehow we wake up n d Immunity clause is thrown in d bin? What if some Whistle blower protection and Reward Programme was put in place? Wl this go in no small way to curb corruption?

This is nt goin to b a one day, One month, One Year thing considering d systemic rot.

Chukwudi44 is nt feelin too good o..U kno he is a vulcanizer-a tube exploded in his face n he vomitted instantly. He has decided to b a tailor nt fashion designer o. His wife is taken good care of him though.

Firefire is fine o...His keke biz hasnt bn too good of late and is makin do as section head of civilian JTF in Gombe but he has decidd to go back to skul. He applied to d Open University.


Lets pray against d spiriit of suicide.
Say aftr me...Any power of suicide, over their liives....dieeeeeeeeeeee

Where r d blogs u ryting abt?

Your argument is flawed
Your logic is faulty
And to see a whole lot tow your train of thought shows a class of people that do not engage in critical thinking!

Raxxye:
A hero, according to Wikipedia, is

"a character or person, who, in the face of danger and
adversity or from a position of weakness, displays
courage or self-sacrifice"

Another source defines it thus:

"a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic
qualities or has performed a heroic act and is
regarded as a model or ideal"

Unless Ezekwesili has a different definition of a hero different from the above, then I beg to disagree with her.

For promising to conduct a free and fair election without interfering in the process, and keeping his words: that makes him a hero
Mr., the president does not "conduct" and "guarantee" free and fair elections, following the stipulated provisions as enshrined in our constituiton and electoral act by the political parties involved does.

Think for a second what would have become of last Saturday's election had the president lost his calm after the card reader failed to capture him and kept him waiting in the sun for over thirty minutes, moreso when his party had advised against the use of the card reader. Had he stormed out of that polling booth, that would have been the end of election that day, and the consequences could only have been imagined. For maintaining his cool in the face of that, he is a hero
Yes, in a society such as ours where hero worshippers are waiting on the wings to forment trouble in such a situation,him keeping his cool was THE RIGHT THING TO DO and doesnt necessarily amount to an heroic act but in saner climes NOTHING will happen. Absolutely Nothing!

For calling GMB and congratulating him(something GMB never did in 2011 and can never do), and thereby averting "goons and baboons" being soaked in blood, he is a hero
Just because Manny congratulaates Mayweather for losing, then in your skewed evaluation we should give Manny the belt abi? Let me remind you, there was a Fayemi who conceded defeat and congratulated a Fayose and then folks like you ddnt make so much noise about it because it ddnt further your interest. Like someone said, a tenant whose rent expired all of a sudden becomes a hero for thanking the landlord for accomodating him when he couldnt pay? Dont make me laugh pls

For telling his party not to bother contesting the outcome of the election in court to avoid distracting the incoming president, he is a hero
Mr. GEJ and PDP RESERVE THE RIGHT to approach the courts for redress if they feel cheated based on irregularities-it doesnt amount to a distraction but it just amount to utilising the constitutional corridoors for redress which is good for our democracy. That in itself is more gentlemanly than having an Orubebe go berserk on national TV. That is the right the APC exercised when they went to court in Ekiti

Hate him as much as you choose to do, Mrs Ezekwesili, you cannot take this glorious moment from him. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has set a standard for democracy, not only in Nigeria, but also in Africa. The man is a true democrat and, indeed, our national hero!

Nobody is hating on your "hero" and like Oby posited if the books on this administration were opened you wouldnt want to breathe the "fresh air" from it-of course folks like you will say "Is he the first person?" Aha...sentiments...now you see the hypocrisy in your "He is a Hero" submission? A hero stands up to public scrutiny-I guess u are getting uncomfortable with the thought of your hero being probed! It even baffles me that you mentioned GEJ as setting a standard for democracy in Africa-in this act of sportsmanship, which is what it is, GEJ isnt the first, get your history right!

If ds is true...Aliyu don entr one chance!
