LOL. You GEJ boys are something else. No matter the amount of soap, be it Omo, Sunlight, or whatever wey Una try use wash GEJ administration from corruption, e no fit clean.

When Una cough out the missing $20billion, N30 trillion, among others, then we can sit down and talk.

Until then, GEJ administration remains the most corrupt in Nigeria history, that is a fact the TIs of this world cannot sugarcoat
Because you say so on NL? TI data is in the public domain and it is authentic data. It is not generated by GEJ so you cannot fault it.

OBJ government is the most corrupt in Nigeria history
PoliticsBuhari And Obasanjo's Tenure More Corrupt Than GEJ Tenure - TI by theoctopus(op): 5:39pm On Feb 12, 2015
According to Transparency International data from 1979 till date, Both General Buhari and Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's tenure were more corrupt than President Goodluck Jonathan;s tenure.

The data also showed that GEJ period has the best corruption perception index since 1979. This is in complete contrast to what the opposition including Obasanjo, has been saying in the media about corruption during the last 5 years,

Shockingly, according to the TI data, Obasanjo's first tenure had the worst corruption during the 35 year period.

Here is a graph showing the corruption perception index for the 35 year period

The TI corruption perception index is a rating of countries from 1 to 100 showing their corruption scale. A rating of 1 is the worst and and rating of 100 means a country is completely free of corruption. 50 is the pass mark and any country below 50 is considered a corrupt country

PoliticsDo You Know The Economist Supported The Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt? by theoctopus(op): 9:07pm On Feb 08, 2015
The same Economist that supports Buhari also supported the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt! The rest, they say, is history!


THE likely choice of candidates in the run-off on June 16th and 17th to decide who will be Egypt's next president is not what The Economist had hoped for. That is hardly surprising, since we incline towards liberalism, and the Arab spring has not fostered it in the Arab world's biggest country.

Amr Moussa, the diplomat we supported in the first round, was trounced, and Egyptians now have a wretched choice between Muhammad Morsi, a dreary Muslim Brother who narrowly won the first round, and Ahmed Shafiq, a former air-force chief and standard-bearer for the Mubarak old guard.

Even now the contest is plagued by uncertainty. As we went to press, the supreme court was due to rule on whether to exclude Mr Shafiq from the run-off because of his role in the old regime. Such a chaotic debut for democracy would tempt ordinary Egyptians to pine for the brutal certitudes of Mr Mubarak's rule. Better that the vote take place—and that Mr Morsi, the Muslim Brother, become president of the Arab world's biggest country.

People are nervous of the Muslim Brothers. Many secular-minded Arabs fear that if ever they gained power they would never let go. However slickly the Islamists repackage themselves, a strain of intolerance runs through them, particularly in religion. Egypt's 8m Christians, about 10% of the population, are understandably anxious—not least because, to get elected, Mr Morsi will need the support not just of the Brothers but also of the Salafists, a far more worrying band of Islamists who hark back to the puritanism of the Prophet Muhammad's era and who have amassed an alarming degree of popular support in the new Egypt. Already, the Brothers and the Salafists hold a majority in Egypt's parliament. Should a Muslim Brother become president, the risk is that the Islamists will then ride roughshod over the rest. That is the fear of many secular Egyptians; and Israelis are worried too.

But these fears look overblown. Islamism in the Arab world now covers a wide spectrum; and its sensible end has fast been evolving from a radical, violent strain into a modern, outward-looking variant. In Tunisia a party close to the Brothers won power and has started well. In Morocco a similar party has served in coalition, albeit under the king's writ. Even the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brothers, Hamas, has been groping towards practical politics (see article). Above all, in Egypt, the Brothers have gone out of their way to shed intolerance and bigotry, espousing—at least on paper—rights for women and Christians, and promising not to close down bars on tourist beaches or ban the wearing of bikinis.

Doubts linger. No one knows how the Islamists would treat minorities if they controlled both arms of government, or how they would revamp the judiciary. On some occasions, Mr Morsi has seemed to back a witch hunt against members of the former regime of Hosni Mubarak; on others, he sounds like a puppet being manipulated behind the scenes.

If there were a decent secular candidate, we would vote for him. But Mr Shafiq, whose mantra is a call for stability and a crackdown on crime, would be a throwback to repression. He was Mr Mubarak's last prime minister, and is unrepentant about the sins of the past government. Mr Shafiq seeks to defend what is known as the “deep state”: the military and security establishment that has clung to power since Mr Mubarak's fall. Since then Egyptians in uniform have continued to abuse their powers and spit on human rights.

Better let them rule

Mr Shafiq's campaign has been incompetent. He has espoused crassly populist policies, promising to cancel the debts of farmers. He has spread fear, insinuating that charities are foreign agents and that Islamists will create a bullying Iranian-style revolutionary guard. His desire to shut the Islamists out of power, whatever the popular will, is alarming. Experience shows that forcing them underground only adds to their mystique and saves them from the responsibilities of office.

It is unfortunate that after all the hope and anguish of the past 18 months Egyptians are presented with a choice between the deep state and the Brotherhood. Yet it does not mean that the revolution has failed. Under Mr Mubarak, the country was suffocating. Egyptians now can at least say what they want and vote for whomever they like. If they opt for Mr Morsi and the Brothers, they face a future full of risks. But that is better than a return to the oppressive past under Mr Shafiq.

SomebodyLovesMe:
Omg.

Nigerians are this daft?!

So you believe that the real reason the government is desperate to postpone the elections is because of PVCs? The government could easily have declared holidays for this purpose.

It was announced in the news today that the government seeks to postpone it because of security issues. Did you hear? Security issues. They want to defeat bokoharam in 6 weeks.

First PVC, then no longer PVC. Now security. And it hasn't occured to you that these are just mere excuses to carry out a plan?

Bless your simple soul.
Let me educate you a bit because i see that you need it

1. 20 Million people still dont have PVCs. Thats about 30% of voters. No democracy will conduct an election with that kind of disenfrachisement

2. Four states are still under terrorist siege so it will be difficult to condut elections there. But the good news is that the multinational joint operation has taken off and hope is in sight. You cannot disenfranchise 4 states of the country. That would create a big crisis especially if the election result from the remaining 32 states is inconclusive. If for example, GEJ leads Buhari with 1 million votes without elections in those 4 states, will you accept the result?

If APC really believe they can win, then there would be no difference between now and 6 weeks. Except there is something funny they have planned for 14th. The elections were postponed twice in 2011. There is nothing new in election postponement. Infact, in 2011, the presidential election was postponed the day before the election and the sky did not fall

What Jonathan is doing is no different from what Boko Haram are.....by using force or subterfuge to coerce people into identifying with a particular religion

Gosh........

PoliticsWhy Is It So Hard For Buhari To Show His Certificate? by theoctopus(op): 5:59pm On Jan 28, 2015
I think the answer is simply that he doesnt have anything to show

1. They have gone to great lengths to doctor Yaradua's wikipedia page just so it can allign with Buhari's claim that they were classmates. They forgot that Wikipedia has date of modification and history of the page

2. They have even gone to great lengths to post Cambridge university site pages.

3. They even went as far as cooking up an Oluwole statement of result that was so poorly cooked up, even street illiterates knew is was a poor job. They could not even use a proper passport photograph (though a statement of result doesnt really contain a passport photo. It actually looked more ridiculous with it) . They used a picture from a campaign poster

4. They forced the Oluwole General to hold a press conference

5. They tried to divert attention with GEJ certificate to the point that Uniport had to shut them up

Yet, what they have not been able to do and obviously cannot do is provide a certificate. Why? Because you cant give what you dont have. Buhari is the story of how corruption, nepotism, quota system and mediocrity started in Nigeria. This BuhariGate has shown to us that this whole corruption we are talking about started as far back as the 50s. Where someone was admitted into the military with a recommendation letter from his principal. The principal even became prophetic and prophesied the courses that Buhari will pass. Alleluiah! grin

That was how corruption started in Nigeria. That was also how Buhari rose to the rank of a general. Aparrently, that was why he couldnt really enroll for any higher education because he had no papers. He did not qualify. He is an example of a fake life. He has lived a lie for the past 54 years. His is Mr corruption himself! What a shame!
