If memory serves correctly I believe Obama (America) was going round Europe (I specifically remember Germany) in same manner his first campaign before election, it's not inferiority complex its simply good politics especially when the incumbent is hell bent on staying in power by hook or by crook according to OBJ

Yes,Obama went across Europe not to say wat he has to plan for the American people to tell them his foreign policy if elected.

Better still,its Israel I'm aware he visited and he went to Germany after he had won but before he took office.

We dont need approval's from the west, all the while we have had ties with Dem,what has been our benefit. Even on immigration, we don't benefit while country like Brazil is visa free to d UK but der formal colonies r subjected to visa. It's even eastern countries dat invest more in Nigeria fan d western countries.

Until we take our future into our hands and severe major ties with d west,we will always b a puppet state.

MORNDEW:
tell me how did he see approval from the west? Or is international relations not part of governance?
The same west many of u claim is with Jonathan especially Obama. Now its clear ur oga is no wear near good ratings in world leadership u see going to london as bad. Help urself theres still time.

Read you ur history books and current affair and u know that no sound minded leader goes to seek vote of confidence from his colonial masters.

Jonathan is in d bad books of the west especially USA and EU reason because of the trade agreement he refused to sign to mention a few.

We don't need approval from the west to grow. Da Silva of Brazil did it,Pinochet of Chile did it,widdo of Indonesia is doin it abd kenyatta is doin it all we need is cooperation wit our African nations

Wen d west cant break u, dey accept ur philosophy eg china and now dey r trying to mend ties with Cuba afta unsuccessfully trying to change d government.d west wants der interest alone and if u don't give Dem der request, dey attack d government.

Do u know that becos biya is having close ties to d USA because of d diamond mines in Cameroon,France is threatening to unsit him.

We can grow wit trade wit other African countries. We don't need der influence in how to rule ourselves.

kimond101:
FFK talks too much.
Buharis outing at Chatham house was a great one.
He speaks like a president.
Brief, firm, on point and intelligent.

WATS great about it? That his seeking approval like we are still ruled by U.K. Y give speech to people who wont vote when der r millions of undecided voters here.

U people have psychological problem. U bliv dat the white man has a major part to play in our development as a nation and feel and act inferior to the west.

Did xi or mudi seek approval from UK or us,did zuma seek approval or even al Sisi, none did so y is apc acting like the west is our mother and we need their advise or approval.

Shame on u all wu bliv that speeches abroad to white audience is what we need from our leader.

MiCarino:


I swear. The success of the Chatham House address by the General dey pain pdp too much. . Dey don release one lame official statement, now FFK don dey bark. Clowns Loool

U amaze me and with people like u, the white race will always see blacks as inferior. Nigeria is a sovereign nation and no leader needs approval from anoda nation before he leads his nation.

It's shows inferiority for buhari to seek acceptance from west before he runs for office. That move takes us back to colonial era and shows that we are still dependent on wat d west say about our future.

Did d PM of India seek us approval?instead d USA is d one mending ties with him afer their previous rift. We need to make our decisions in Nigeria for Nigerians not waiting for the west to help us.

Insulting the president is now a punishable offence: nigeriannewspapers.1push.com.ng/warning-insulting-president-jonathan-now-a-punishable-offence-presidency/

Presidency would no longer tolerate "insults": www.punchng.com/i-punch/ill-no-longer-tolerate-those-insulting-jonathan-okupe/


Now, take that comment of yours and shove it up your darkest hole.

Buhari is not the president but a regular citizen like u and I. Its wrong to insult the office of the president but u can criticize it like what soludo is doing. Which western country do their media insult it's president? Its wrong and its a crime but u remember how d media blast mitt Romney wen he was running against Obama; did he threaten Dem? But instead made fun of it.
Dats true democracy not using force or violence to get results.

Der was no need for u to use ur last phase. This a forum and u can enlighten sum1 without bin abusive.

omenka:
Over the past couple of months, Buhari has proven himself to be a man of immense tolerance, class, wisdom and self control. He has taken all the insults in his stride and acted above board and with unparalleled maturity. Compare that with the utterances coming from PDP, their supporters and their media houses.

There is a supposed peace accord signed by both parties yet the president's renegade wife herself admonished PDP supporters stoned anyone they find shouting "Change"!!

I'm keeping very close tabs on events and taking notes. A time will come, by God's grace after the General must have been sworn in, when PDP will be made to swallow the bitter pills they've been forcing down the throats of the opposition. I hope they choke on their own saliva and drop dead when they try to complain.

Goodluck Hitler Ebele Amin Jonathan will wind up worse then Gbagbo.

U so partisan dat u blind to the truth.d issue is that buhari is more concern about his person than the safety of d people. A leader serves and is ready to suffer anything for the betterment of his people but if he cant tolerate all the hate words, what the probability dat he will accept criticism and wont b a dictator.
Dis is democracy and freedom of speech is allowed. If he wants to show his for the people, he should tolerate and accept criticism not threaten people Wu cross his path.

Rilwayne001:
[size=15pt] GEJ is on a mission to break Nigeria in other for those empty boasters to rise again for Biafra. Well they will surely suffer the same fate their grandfathers suffered [/size]

Comments like urs r the kind dat cause tension in Nigeria. U r nit only naive for make dis comment but u r foolish for insulting the Biafra.

Bigot.

Skako:
GEJ also has mental problem for sacking sanusi and others

sai buhari

U r a bigot and lack wisdom for making comments without thinking.

Learn to ask questions.ask weda ambode has mental history or not before concluding.

Tolatutu:
We don't want Jim Agbaje that has cancer. Buhari at his age looks healthier than Agbaje sef ,PDP should learn to stand like men and stop spreading lies to try and avoid getting flogged at the polls

Wats ur problem?Wu told u Jimi has cancer?y jus post lies abt someone wen u ve no proof? His someone's father and how will u feel is same tin is said abt ur dad's health?

Make reasonable comments pls.

geedeex2:
Transparency international ,you can't tell us what we know .GEJ Government is more corrupt than all the other administrations we have had in Nigeria put together

Where did u get ur information? Y come online and post tins u don't ve proof. Y r jus a bigot and add sentiment in your judgement.

Change if u want Nigeria to move forward.

azimibraun:
Buhari you are on point jare... morons are never going to understand you.

Will u give Abacha a chance to rule Nigeria asa democratic leader? Tink logically.

Wat abt d lives he ruined den eg Ambrose Ali. Can dos lives b replaced? Don't use sentiment.

Holywizard:
Hello my fellow nairalanders...
I recently caught two of my neighbour's kids aged 10 & 13 having sex & i flogged & punished them. But de funniest part is that de kids are sexually exposed.

What is bothering me is that...should I tell their parents & On what ways should I tell them because the parents might take it against me/might not believe me.

What is ur take on that?

Don't tel der parents. Befriend d kids and counsel them. They are already sexually exposed so using force on them will only aggregate d situation.

Its ur job to b der counsellor to teach & warn dem abt d effects of premarital sex.

chiggiee:
my name is gozie, i am female and i am from Anambra state. I have been in Lagos almost all my life; schooled in lagos, served in lagos and currently working in Lagos.
meeting a decent igbo guy in Lagos has been a herculean's task since my university days, i have mostly had guys from other tribes flock around me and i am really not looking to settle down with a non-igbo guy(and please it has nothing to do with being tribalistic because the ratio of my non-igbo friends to the igbo ones is like 80:20).
so i would really like to know why it is difficult, cos i know Lagos is more populated with igbo people. so is it my location? or maybe i don't go out often? or maybe it is not the right time?

please feel free to drop your comments.

p.S. should in case a decent igbo guy(residing in Lagos) stumbles upon this post, i am just a mail away: chigiee@yahoo.com

Its all in ur head. U attract d kinda guy u want. Wat u wish for cums to u. Law of attraction.

[s][/s]

Is this part of the blackmail and conspiracy being touted around by PDP and TANoids in the last few days against Jega?

If this is all you got, you are bound to fail miserably. Jega is not going anywhere before June 30th.

Do u ve PVC? Y punish ursef wit all dis news, if dey remove jega, nothing will happen or will d north ask for succession?wish will b to der own detriment. So calm down and watch dis soap called 9ja 2015.

dammytosh:
??

Do u ve PVC?

mashnino:
cant even believe you are trying to quantify dis administration..

but what i believe sha.. every man has his own opinion...

so it's good..

From ur profile u seem like a rational person but change cums in different ways. Egypt wanted change and now dey r 25yrs back frm were dey where before d revolution wit same pple dey chased out still enjoyin power.

Ders no quick fix to anything,china didn't grow to what it is in 20yrs,it was a slow & painful step so let give him a chance to complete d project he has started.

Buhari is a decent man but d pple around him are vultures waitin to feed off him. And wit der desperation for power, u know dat its der pocket dey r after.

dammytosh:
If you die first that will be less one f00lish and blind citizen who believes we are ungrateful for

1. We should be grateful for Exchanging 1 Dollar for #210 and also 1Pounds for #330.

2. We should be grateful for the modernization of Lagos Airport. Each time we land after travelling, Heat and the stinking environment is contrary to the modernization i see in the newspaper. You must ease yourself before the plane lands because you don't want to go near any of the toilets.

3. We should be grateful for useless excuses GEJ gave us for 5 years that led to thousands of people dieing as a result of Boko haram that he suddenly want to wipe out because of election in 6 weeks

4. We should be grateful that Billions of dollars miss with reckless abandon and GEJ does not give a damn !

5. We should be grateful that we sacrificed to buy fuel for 97naira all in the name of subsidy removal and nothing to show for it. The last time 1Billion dollars disappeared from the fund and all subsidy thieves are the back bone of GEJ's next project.

6. We should be grateful that Cameroon, Niger, Chad etc had to enter our territory as a matter of necessity to fight insurgence in other to protect their own citizen.

7. We should be grateful that a liar with no integrity decide to heat up the polity because of personal ambition.

GEJ is really doing us a favour. M0r0n.

World currencies r strengthening or weakening against d dollar and its said dat ours is weakening when we don't export. Also note that d market is volatile now because of d uncertainty in d country so d naira wont be stable.

Indonesia removed fuel subsidy 100% to check corruption and divert d moni for something different. And reducing fuel price bow is easier becos of d price of fuel and its more advisable to remove subsidy now dat oil price is dis low.

About d reckless spending,its a shame that our recurrent expenditure in Nigeria is very high reason y gej is trying to privatise d ports,inland waterways,airports etc to reduce d size of d government.

Its a shame that boko haram still operates but remember that Nigerian army I trained to fight conventional war and I guided my Geneva convention etc unlike boko that are not. So its cant be a swift victory becos even Pakistan dat has a beta military, technology Dan ours,is struggling to contain Taliban and other groups and allows d U.S. To support.

About polity, Nigeria is for every tribe and if any man from any party decides to run, its nit meant to cause tension because dat his party choice and its d pples choice to decide Wu dey want. And buhari hs made comment abt if wat happened in 2011 happening again, that d baboons and co will b soaked in blood.

Oga! Lets ask questions before concluding. Also, do u ve ur pvc, if not, don't talk again in dis section.

obiZEAL:
Talking machine....dem don press the ''on'' button
From may 30th you and Doyin 'bastard' Okupe be tweeting from kiri kiri...

If u don't ve pvc and u calling a man dat can b ur father names, then u need psychological help.

Raiders:
I am ashamed with leaders like South South leaders E.K Clark. Rather than support and encourage Prof Jega . they are busy tarnishing his image n the pages of newspaper. I don't think there is any grand conspiracy to victimize GEJ. The reason there is low PVC collection in the south is because there is very low voters apathy in the south compare to the north. In fact, I predict that there will be more voters turn out in the south than in the north. Most people I know in the south, including me, don't even plan on voting. Whats the point going to vote for the same corrupt leaders who don't really care about the people.

Also, I don't see any reason why the north should not have more polling center because they have more LGA, States and population than the south. Prof. Jega is trying his best to conduct election in Nigeria and I think all Nigerians should support him.

Y shud he support jega wen he feels there's partiality? Cum to think of it, inec gave 12million pvc already in d north west while in SW,ss,se dey ve 6million each.
Now my question is this, how cum only NW has double the number of pvc for other zones?

Bevista:
OK, I figured I should visit the website directly to confirm the facts.

Firstly, I could not find any indices or scientific methodology used in arriving at their ranking.

Secondly, just to confirm the credibility of the promoters of the website, I decided to check on their "contact us" link. Behold there was no physical address or even phone number - just an online form.

Mchew! (continues to drink my kunu). Propaganda @ work.

Why must u be partisan. Y not ask questions before criticizing the report. R u saying dat ders no corruption in Lagos state? Dat alpha-beta handles Lagos state revenue generation is corruption.

Although,am surprised Lagos is d 1st wen states like delta,gombe,benue,Abia etc r der but they have der format for calculating & grading so before I conclude I ve to know more about there data source and format.

LagosBoi2:
PDP sponsored ranking...smh

most developed state and you now turn it to most corrupt, If this is what corruption means then i really like it

[size=14pt]Laudable programs.

This shows a responsible govt

In sane countries there is a welfare package for the poor in the society

Thank you Buhari for proving once again you are the leader we need unlike that animal in fedora hat currently in ArseHole rock[/size]

U and dos Wu liked ur post are shallow and fir insultin ur president shows HW immature u r. Talk like a child in his early teens.

With world economy crashing daily dat developed countries r running from welfare packages dat u want a struggling country like ours wit behemoth debt to start a welfare system. U r really swallow minded.

minister2015:
The report will never come out. anyway another 30billon dollars has gone missing again says oshiomhole. This is main reason why America has stopped buying oil from Nigeria & not because of anti gay law as some PDP e-warriors want us 2 believe. Saudi arabia & kuwait whom USA still patronize n even increase its imports from don't support gayism.

Keep quiet cos u lack wisdom. If $20bn is missing our economy will tanked like Portugal or greece. Do you know what $20bn is? U gullible prick. It was jus over $40bn dat was used to bail 3 European nations to avoid total collapse. And u say dat amount is missing and we climbed to biggest economy in Africa.

About USA not buying crude. Remember dat USA, UK bought crude from Nigeria when Abacha was head of state and dis countries blacklisted Nigeria and even suspended us from commonwealth.

With how the USA criticized Chavez, they still bought crude from him so corruption in Nigeria isn't the reason they stopped buying crude after all was their vice president Cheney not involved in the Halliburton scandal in Nigeria.

Next time don't be biased when commenting- u bigot.

Jesusloveyou:
lets drop sentiment,ekweme has houses and lands,he was smarter than shagari,d boss has only one house,he may not be corrupt like his vice,dikko and other ministers.also gej may not steal but corrupt by his ministers.buhari wil give gej house arrest while maina,madueke and other corrupt minister wil be jail.

Ekwueme was already a millionaire b4 becoming vice. Get dat straight. He had his own arche firm. Made his moni frm d USA NT in Nigeria. U can say dikko and others but in Nigeria we know, d vice is powerless and d president calls d shots.

Why r we NT calling sambo but only gej. It's cos once d system fails d head takes the blame. So giving d head preference cos its ur tribes man is favoritism and it wont stop if buhari enters office.

Wondering why Nigerian youth in der 30s & 20s want to give der future to a man who can't invest his wealth. When a young graduate already invests in real estate with his average salary.

We need a visionary like lee Kwan woo, uhuru Kenyatta to diversify our economy not who doesn't have a clue about oil price.

Rawani:
Beautiful, Enlightening and Illuminating. General Buhari has been vindicated, Nigeria needs this brand of excellence one more time.

Which part of the south cos in delta state, der were no roads constructed. Give us route of the roads

Garrithe1st:
Change is here, I can feel it in the air.

I just celebrated Christmas and Boxing day in darkness. Yet JonaSaTAN gives me tales of how he is the Jesus of Africa.

GMB 2015.

Change!!!!!

It's a pity y didn't ve power on Xmas but know that Nigeria can't produce enough power than we consume reason why there was privatization of power sector and it will take time to get it right. But u calling gej names is disrespectful.grow up

Jesusloveyou:
u try in ur analysis,but don't u think 8yrs is too much for d country to remain like this.as u admit that corruption has be part of our daily lives since 1986.let gej lead by example,if d head is corrupt d body wil be corrupt also,buhari for less than two yrs,we were almost getting it right,in terms of corruption,indiscipline and insecurity.my gov osho has tried,without too much depending on fg.

Give me list of new manufacturing companies in Edo state. Manufacturing is wat drives growth eg china. Try doesn't mean that he builds roads. Yes road is good but wat brings development to a town is companies eg abgara,ota.

And it also reduces crime and improve d standard of living der.

Again, has ur osho brought any to Edo state?

Corruption has being in Nigeria b4 independence and even d buhari u want can't end it in 10yrs.buhari will use sentiment to persecute like he did wen he overthrew shagari government. Arrested d vice dats a figure head but gave his Hausa brother house arrest- is dat justice?

Jesusloveyou:
but u wil support saTANiod to enter politics,let be sincere to ourselves,did we stil want corruption,indiscipline and insecurity to continue?

Nice question I bliv u alone can answer. Gej has a plan, and I bliv with his numerous flaws and the harsh political environment he is doin well compared to obj. So let him continue with his project.

Ders no quick fix to Nigeria cos we r divided down to religious denomination. Lets NT b quick to judge cos every sector of d economy was destroyed by 2011 even oil & banking sectors

D reason why u all r shouting for change is because ur state governments r not performing so its was to blame Abuja. Our governor r lazy and don't create an environment dat can attract private investors but jus wait end of month for allocation.
U can imagine d governor of delta state allowing spdc leave d state while others r finding how to bring companies like dat. R deltans to blame gej for spdc departure?

D insecurity in d north east is a religious issue and Muslim clerics need to publicly criticize and fully support d military so it can reduce.

Corruption is synced to our daily lives in Nigeria eg shunting etc.so blivin dat one man can change everything around in 8yrs in maddness.

And note that all dos parade and crowds I see on tv r all staged and paid.

9jii:
We hv to take chance of Change first,if it didn't work the struggle for better will go on till we get it.But just living like this can't go on.
Plus i believe GMB can

Can do what? D present government is corrupt but u and I know that d people in apc are disgruntled people Wu r after their personal interest eg rochas,ameachi,el rufia etc. They changed party because dey lost favor in pdp not because dey r against d system.

Ie all of them are corrupt, both apc and pdp. U can say all the story about HW buhari is anti corruption but remember dat dis isn't military regime but in democracy and our judiciary isn't independent.

The change u want can't and wont b gotten by electin buhari. It's for us Nigerians to stop celebrating corrupt pple and ask questions about pple source of wealth.eg yahoo boys

AbuMaryam1:
The president of Ijaw nation has spoken.

Pls,how is he the president of ijaw nation. People like you say things that cause division and tension.

Give me reasons y he is d president of ijaw nation alone.

iluvnaija:
Is time for Nigerians to probe them with their votes.

APC! Change Jonathan!

Why don't u start by probing all governors- apc and pdp b4 u probe private individuals.

When obj got donors,nobody probed but now they want to probe private individuals.

Wat change can apc bring? Pls enlighten me

9jii:
PDP and politicizing religion.when did Osinbajo,talked to you as a pastor?
They are always looking for a tiny chance To politicize anything in order to deceive the Minds of Gullible ones.

Why omoCry didn't quote lord GEJ?


GMB n OSINBAJO end of Corruption.

If d present system favours u, you wont want corruption to end so u expecting gmb to end corruption is impossible because the pple around him are products of corruption eg aregbe,rochas & ameachi etc.
corruption can't end so dont live with that illusion.
If u tink dis politicians r different- u r foolish. Research to know weda they ve paid salaries in d past months. Both pdp & apc leaders r same. What we need is for power to b decentralized like a true federalist country.

Personally, I don't support a clergyman entering politics.
