Exactly !!!
But I think it's high time we stop focusing on who said what and start analysing (even if just for the sake of public discourse as in the "Plato" era) the quality, correctness and "bestness" of the policy or actions themselves.
While I agree that GEJ n Yar-adua have years b4 now stipulated when d whole amnesty issue will end, the bone of contention now is some people's posturings and threats here.

You're on point bro.....very much on point.

I feel your pains

lalasticlala:
kindly remove the colour riot in ur post. thanks

Ok

Done

Lalasticlala, how far?

It'll be nice if you help balance the matter by taking this to FP

Hiddentreasure1:
how come is when is buhari is a hate speech or words but if is GEJ u are permitted to use whatsoever foul language u deem fit who is fooling who pls stop whatsoever bad words for either GEJ or president buhari

It's not hate speech my dear. It's freedom of speech which i won't deny them.

That's why i asked them to be left alone to their devices and keyboards.

They should type right ahead...

If only they knew and realized they're not God.

If only the knew and realized they're humans existing in corruptible flesh and are limited in knowledge of what the future holds.

If only they knew God alone is the final arbiter of issues like this

Some deranged ones even went as far as saying ''over their dead bodies would GMB become president'' as if they are assured of still living the next minute.

If only they knew........maybe, just maybe they could have been a little bit more sensible and humble.

Good one TheVoice.

The children of hate and anger always look for any slightest opportunity, no matter silly it is, to attack President Buhari online.

Unfortunately for them, they have their hands full in Baba who doesn't listen to distractions.

Lalasticlala Seun Ishilove, this clarification is recommended for FP.

They should keep attacking....Their elders like FFK, Okupe, Abati, Fayose, Metuh did worse and President Buhari majestically ignored them

at least none of them is as privileged as Fayose to take out a whole page in a national newspaper to vent their frustrations and orubebeism

They should keep wasting their 5MB dash from the GSM networks

Jorussia:
brother stop embarrassing yourself, i wonder what you gain from typing nonsense here, I can't force you to start liking PMB,but i urge to start thinking twice b4 typing your hate riddled comments here.

You guys shouldn't bother with people like that.....

They can't ever be purged of their hate and it leads them to throwing infantile tantrums and displaying wanton childishness.

Just laugh at them my good people

meanwhile, President Buhari is hosting a presidential lunch at the Villa as we type

Idrismusty97:
I don't even know what is wrong with all these "Awa oyel" people on Nairaland, Only their ragtag millitants are even benefiting from it while their graduates hustle for job. Buhari wants to set things right and they opening their "Awa oyel" mouths to vomit thrash! Just look at their comments; https://www.nairaland.com/2344385/niger-delta-amnesty-due-end

Whatever they like, they should say...na dem get their mouths

However, let the world know GEJ ALREADY SET DEC 2015 AS TERMINAL DATE FOR THE AMNESTY PROGRAM

We must make this goodwill count.

God bless and guide president Buhari

God bless all Nigerians

simply beautiful!!!!

At the inauguration today, PMB made the following statement

''......The amnesty programme in the Niger Delta is due to end in December, but the Government intends to invest heavily in the projects, and programmes currently in place. I call on the leadership and people in these areas to cooperate with the State and Federal Government in the rehabilitation programmes which will be streamlined and made more effective. As ever, I am ready to listen to grievances of my fellow Nigerians. I extend my hand of fellowship to them so that we can bring peace and build prosperity for our people......''

and the sad and bitter souls entered the market in a display of madness occasioned by bitterness without waiting to digest what he actually meant. Maybe it's illiteracy or bile but a little thinking could have helped them out. President Buhari (how sweet that sounds ) was only echoing what every sane and living human in Nigeria already knew: the GEJ govt had marked 2015 as the end of amnesty program.

hear what Kuku, the amnesty czar said. A simple Google search could have cured some of the orubebeism the children of anger got afflicted with.

LAGOS — The Federal Government, said, yesterday that it will not go back on its words to terminate the amnesty programme for Niger Delta ex-militants in 2015.

Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme, Mr Kingsley Kuku, reiterated government’s position at the 7th Business Law Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association in Lagos.

He also canvassed a reduction in the N65,000 monthly stipend paid to beneficiaries in training to the statutory N18,000 minimum wage, so that those undergoing training did not earn more than those awaiting training.

According to him, failure to draw the curtain on the programme will bring about instability in the region.

Kuku, who noted that the Amnesty Office was currently grappling with exit strategy challenges, said that the present scenario was not envisaged at the time of the Presidential Amnesty Proclamation in 2009.

He said: “It will be in the best interest of Nigeria for government to terminate the presidential amnesty programme by 2015. If it is not closed by 2015, it will lose its taste. This is because it will become an alternative government in the Niger Delta.

“We are currently battling exit strategy challenges. If we reduce the monthly stipend to those in training to the prescribed minimum wage for the country, which is N18,000, it will discourage more people from taking to militancy.

“We should have stopped paying N65,000 after pulling the agitators from the creeks and fixing it at the minimum wage could have been ideal. To avoid further crisis, the programme should end in 2015. We must be ready to exit the programme. It is for this reason that governors of the region must support alternative programmes for youth engagement.”

Kuku noted that the gains of the programme could be eroded if government failed to close the programme by 2015 because of fresh agitations for enlistment by youths of the region, who now see militancy as a way of accessing public funds.

He said that his office was at present, exploring possibilities of getting trained ex-militants engaged to prevent them from returning to agitation.

To break it down (for those unable to comprehend), EVEN IF GEJ HAD CONTINUED AS PRESIDENT, AMNESTY WAS GOING TO END THIS YEAR and Kuku gave very cogent reasons why. You should even praise PMB for saying he'll invest HEAVILY in the program. see the below from the same speech.

Government intends to invest [size=14pt]heavily[/size] in the projects, and programmes currently in place

Now you guys can take your grievances to otuoke. That's where ex-president GEJ, who designed it to end this year, retired to.

People just love to misinterpret things or draw conspiracy theories from harmless episodes.

The same interpretation they gave Tinubu deferring to GMB in greeting is the same interpretation that is being given to this one now

For una mind, GEJ na gateman now abi? The man was simply showing GMB around. whom did you expect to open the door? It had nothing to do with humility, servitude or slavery. It was serious business: HANDOVER THINGS

Nigerians with small mind mentality.

If you had told his wife that her husband would someday be the number two citizen of the largest black nation, she might not agree but God just lifted him from nowhere and exalted him.
I will always serve the Lord cos he alone does these things.

True talk

I guess the Atiku/GMB/GEJ lobby paid off.

Congrats Adeshina

Congrats Nigeria

omenka:
That is why I have no pity for those idiotic youths that die for these men.

Throw jabs, quarrel, insult, argue, criticise, commend, analyse, support and oppose, we can do online and offline, but for me that is where it all ends!! Now look at them, after all said and done, they still go back and eat from thesame plate....

Woe unto those who lay down their lives for these guys.

You couldn't have said it any better bro.

Politicians, after all the mudslinging, destruction and death.....hmmmm

Hmmmm.....see Osinbajo o

Who could have imagined??

And thats how this pretty girl got wasted.....So sad

Some seemingly little and insignificant things we do on daily basis that have grave repercussions.

It's well

Jorussia:
I don't think you got me right my brother,Dickson became the governor of bayelsa,because he got 100% support from PGEJ.I am not a fan of GEJ,but, i will always condemn what is wrong.Dickson should be ashamed of himself, he is an ingrate and a betrayal.

You're wrong bro. There's no morality in politics but that being played in Nigeria is particularly bad. It's the law of the jungle at play my friend, kill or be killed. Sack or be sacked. PEJ has never hidden the fact that she desires someone else other than Dickson in the bayelsa govt house so the poor guy is only fighting to assure his political future.

Those guys will do worse to him if he doesn't do them in first.

See the entertainer GEJ entrusted his presidential destiny to....

It's not a crime to be in love abeg....FFK carry go joor

PDP and GEJ will be wiser next time......if there will be a next time that is

I voted you because i believe you are not given to materialism and primitive acquisition of money and toys like those we've just sent packing.

Pls and pls, GMB, lead by example and don't change this style. The day you change, I will transform .

We know you can't stop the NASS or the committee of thieving govs (from APC and PDP) but you can control your ministers and other appointees under you. They must bridle their greed and work for the people.

our PVC's will still remain active and Jega has shown us it does work wonders

I know it will be tough but i'm very optimistic

stinggy:
The hate campaign really shot GMB's chances higher. If only the knew it would,they might have been calling him a god instead

Welcome to the New Nigeria!

You can say that again.

bruno419:
was he playing soccer on board

hmmmm......question

Pls go ask him...then come share the info here.

''The APC, with the support of the PDP dissidents, will form the next Federal Government of Nigeria. That is the way to go. PDP, as we once knew her, has gone forever. The ship has hit the rocks and she has sunk to the bottom of the sea. She is dead and buried and my prayer is that her soul rests in perfect peace''

--FFK in Sept 2013 while asking GEJ to go beg OBJ

It turned out a very accurate prophecy i guess

stinggy:
But his health is failing and close to death, so says the TANoids

My brother, no mind the wicked people o. That GMB walking very sprightly so strong pass some young men o.

Even Muazu, the chairman of the TANoids claimed he's on hospital bed in Singapore abi where again sef and he's meant to be a younger man

and all he did was sit on chairs, fanning himself while GEJ was asking ''how much Nwobodo stole'' on the campaign stage

You mean GMB gets down to trekking round aso rock again today after a 6 hour flight from UK?

well well.......more strength to his system o

And some wanted GEJ as BoT chairman

I keep asking what clout he wields outside the confines of aso rock to command a ward unit of a party never mind the national body??

Gej's influence starts and ends with the keys to the treasury he currently has. Mama piss will surely wield more influence than him henceforth.

Watch how bayelsa explodes going forward because I know say jesus of okrika will not allow Dickson get away with this. Lai lai.

Taylor86:
mere threats right?

wen buhari promised to make GEJ's government ungovernable they weren't mere threats

d first man to challenge Dokubo RIP in advance

Seriously, you need to know the difference between Alhaji Lawal Keita and General Muhammadu Buhari

The funny thing is that the same Alhaji Keita became a staunch member of GEJ's kitchen cabal
