Sincere 9gerian: Clearly you didnt understand my post. You may wish to read it again.

Anyway, the summary of my point is that Mama does not need to execute the project from her purse. All she needed to do was come up with the idea, plan, organise, raise funds from friends, execute the project and donate it.

Well, That is plausible. It could come in any form of patronage, either a 'thank you for helping me secure the contract from the President' or 'Please help me convince the President to award me that contract'.

Even though I admire your desire of unraveling the ineptitude of our political leadership, but areas such as those in the pictures are almost everywhere in the country. It does not mean those places are worse than what obtains in many parts of the country.

Jonathan cannot unilaterally proclaim the creation of a State. Anyone with half a brain would know that this is disingenuous hoodwinking.

mikeansy: " . . . . .democracy in Nigeria is not" u mean?

. Ok. You believe the term modern democracy does not apply to Nigeria, but Where in the world is politics not about self interest? The welfare of the people come a distant second. The difference is just that, Nigerian politicians are power mongers who squander and sacrifice every opportunity given to them at the slaughter slab of selfishness.

.

Politics by principle is that which modern democracy is not. Its all about the preservation of individual interest.

omenka: I now understand your plight... Sound like a graduate of "Barack Obama Nursery and Primary School Int'l, Ugba"

@Omexom0ron is the biggest airhead ever and one of the popular idi0ts online. Dude should sign up for Adult Basic Education and Literacy program.

Built2last: This is why i say that APC is not the solution to Nigeria's complex problems but the citizenry. From 1999 till date we have always had proponents of this opposition parties in national assembly and non of them have come out to challenge the excessive spending going on in the national assembly. APC have nothing less than 35 senators and about 100 members of the house of rep. how far have they gone in challenging all the accusations levelled against them. Mind you, i am not a PDP supporter. The reality is just that APC is an old wine in a new bottle...Time will tell

Very typical. Instead of condemning the National Assembly as a whole, you preferred to blame the minority even when you know that the majority rules in a democracy. Politicians irrespective of political affiliation are the same because Politics is all about interest.

If we are to apportion any blame, it should be directed to the citizenry who have remained perpetual spectators, docile and apolitical in the sociopolitical arena. The politicians get away with the rapacious plunder of our collective wealth because they know that Nigerians are to too weak to protest nor revolt. After the completion of their terms, we will still reelect them to another term of fraud and folly. Your state of indifference encouraged all manners of usurpers and pretenders to navigate the ship of the State.

The National Assembly is a bottomless pit of corruption and misappropriation.

Omexonomy: chiefmoron of nairaland how far. How are ur fellow E-cocroaches.

This guy na character. Abeg @OAM4J, no use banning commot my friend from work..

To describe OBJ as a narcissist is to pay him a compliment like no other. He is a crazed megalomaniac.

Excerpt;



"For the likes of Okupe and his ilk in the Presidency and Abuja, Governor Amaechi only became 'willing tool to the opposition' when he, like most other governors, insisted on governors and governors alone, to determine who would be their chairman, the Governors' Forum Chairman and not some hawks in the Presidency."

"Where was Doyin Okupe when Governor Amaechi led Rivers electorates to overwhelmingly give President Jonathan over two million votes, the highest by any State in the last presidential election?"





Far from Public Notice! He is a Pay-For-Hire Political Jobber.

"Moreover, like most Nigerians, we believe that Okupe is an irrelevant in the political equation that no serious-minded person should take seriously."






What! So Okupe is Inconsequential?.

Gbawes: The other was convicted by the court of public opinion.

Are you a learner?

Same with other politicians.

Touche!!! Thorough beat down


Waiting for Pottymouth Okupe's right of reply. Its a season of political tirades, blusters and sucker punches.

Why can't Bode George approach the relevant agencies with all the information of Tinubu's illegally acquired fabulous wealth, which will investigate and prosecute him?. As an ex-convict, he should be more of a believer in the system.

The media should stop giving undue attention and relevance to certain inglorious characters. As an ex-convict, Bode George ought not to grace political klieglights and social concourse with his inglorious presence. Rather, he should be sentenced to a life of ignominy and public opprobrium, and consigned to the garbage can of history.

HNosegbe: Exactly.

These are the kind of responses I want to see from the APC. Discuss the issues of the day. Talk about the failures of the party in power, the massive deceit, corruption and waste in governance, the refusal of the govt to think up innovative ways to solve our infrastructural crisis.

These are the things the APC should keep harping on (while showing us how they'll do better) rather than resort to Okupe-style name-calling and abusive, uncouth language.

I'm encouraged.

I quite agree with you. The mischievous ensnaring, fault finding, political tantrums and frequent whinings must be discontinued for serious, sensible constructive debates and brainstorming to move the Nation forward. The current trend of each party trying to find cause to blame the other for one incident or the other is most disgraceful and speaks volumes of the type of pseudo-enlightened politicians we have in Nigeria to rule us. Enough of the shadow boxing, bluster and vitriolic from the Presidential crybabies and members of the opposition.

Such a Loser! Playing the ethnic game card in a bid to nibble away at our collective memories and whitewash his sullied reputation and maladrous crimes off our faces. The same fellow who looted the treasury of his state, and disembowelled the aspirations of his people. Same Orji who led Abia state PDP delegates to vote against Alex Ekwueme in 1999 and 2003 PDP primaries, and also donated N100million to OBJ's campaign fund even though that was the brightest chance of Ndigbo producing a president, now putting up a meretricious facade of a true defender of Igbo cause and wearing a toga of ethnic champion.

FreeGlobe: So in order words you agree the tribalist Gov Fashola is grossly incompetent and selective in shielding orji kalu from paying tax until recently when they have a fallout. All hail Nigeria's new dictator Adolf Fashola

Story. Make 14 days reach, make him never pay him tax. He will lift his house on his head to his village in Igbere.

Is the PDP encouraging tax dodging?



Enough of all the egocentric, scurrilous, interest propelled falsetto and diatribe from pay-for-hire public affairs commentators, emergency political activists and politicians trying to make political gains out of the deportation saga. Anyone who truly believe that the internal displacement was unconstitutional, should approach the court, so that some censure can be brought on the government of Lagos and compensation paid to those displaced. Its obvious most of them are only interested in scoring cheap political points, and have little or no concern the plight of the 'deportees'.

Gbawe: It is the classic display of those who are clueless, bereft of solutions and lacking in leadership talent/ability.
They will then behave/talk in ways that makes it obvious "a bad workman always blames his tools".

Its a government populated by wimps, crybabies, little minds and irritants. Is Okupe, the lying pottymouth any better than El-Rufai? El-Rufai may be an opportunist and rabble-rouser, but he has at times presented well-researched and informed commentaries that draw deeply from his knowledge of the inside workings of government. The best vaccination against opposition is openness, and most effective antidote to criticisms is to deliver the goods/dividends of democracy, not political tantrums and frequent whinings from the Presidential Crybabies.


A Government that still does not know how many barrel of oil it produces is gallivanting to European and other foreign countries to seek for help on tackling crude oil theft because it is afraid of moving against the 'principalities and powers in high places' who are the sponsors of crude oil theft in the ND.

HenryQuest: Okupe said, “Members of APC are united and have been brought together not because they want to help Nigeria in any form. They have come together because they just want power for personal aggrandizement.” http://sunnewsonline.com/new/cover/el-rufai-a-liar-presidency/

Is the PDP different from what Okupe described the APC as? Is the PDP not a bulldozer for clearing the path to power, little by way of ideology and a vehicle for promoting the personal interests of greedy kleptomaniacs, corrupt-to-the-core buccaneers and strange bedfellows?


Recently, the Chief of Naval Staff and Kingsley Kuku, a presidential aide asserted that bulk of crude oil theft takes place at export terminals. The Ribadu Presidential Task Force report in one of its recommendations advised that automated metering system be installed at oil terminals and wellheads for the purpose of verifying actual oil production from oil wells, flow heads and export. The committee even went a step further by contacting Schlumberger to install the Automated meters, but the committee's report was undermined and denigrated by the Presidency. Is it because there are vested interests in government that prefers the regime of roguery that has bedevilled the oil industry?

How many of the 'Big Wigs' involved in crude oil theft has been arrested, prosecuted and sentenced, to serve as deterrent to others? What we see is the conventional arrest of some boys, paraded and let-off-the-hook based on instructions from above as soon as they are handed over for prosecution. Is the Cabal involved in the menace of crude oil theft more powerful than the government, or Is Government itself the Cabal?

Omexonomy: Dont mind the id.io.t. I was sleeping while typing.

You lying m0ron.

Omexonomy: Take it easy.
Lets answer some kwestions.
1. Are their machinery put inplace to cheak and balance the activities of gov elechi.
2. Lets assume their is e.g dummy house of assembly. Like that of lagos state.
Whatever governos choose to do with their money is their packet of poo. If their is problem let that be the headach of their various house of assembly that you people voted for.

[quote author=re@lchange]nwanne obi has little if any choice than to pick the most popular APGA candidate
APGA can lose this election
so obi has little choice.
he can either allow another APGA governor succeed him
or ngige will succeed him -nightmare for obi and jonathan
this game is not over[/quote]It seems you do not know the way a conventional Nigerian politician reasons. He thinks of self-preservation, relevance and life after office before any other thing . An independent-minded character like Soludo cannot guarantee him that. Obi will prefer a stooge like many other governors. The same Peter Obi contested against a very popular Soludo and won the election. He understands the political terrain

[quote author=IGBO-SON]^^^Soludos fortunes in the last election were affected by the infighting and divisions in the PDP of the time.

It's clear Soludo isn't your choice for whatever reason. Maybe the guy you support is either from your village; is your relation; is your benefactor; or is your party man! Whatever the case may be, i'm sure deep down, you admit that Soludo would be a better administrator, manager of resources, and would be able to project the status of Anambra state to would be investors all over the world......he would be better in this role than all the people thus far lining up to get their hands on the keys to Awka gov't house just to answer executive governor and your excellency......for them it's mainly an ego trip!

So care to share the name of the guy you're rooting for? I'm dying to know who this special one is![/quote]If APGA had allowed him scale through the screening hurdle and finally imposed him on other aspirants, it would have led to another intra-party wrangling. There are other qualified hands who have toiled and worked relentlessly for the party in the last 7 years.



I have nothing against the candidature of Soludo, and I believe he is very much qualified and capable. I only quoted you because you made it seem in your post like Soludo is the only man who can take Anambra to enviable standards.



Mind you, I am not from the SE. If I have to support a candidate, it'll be Obi's anointed successor who I am sure currently works with him. Many of you have given the impression that Obi's tenure is a blessing on/to the state. Continuity is very important.
