What a mischievous headline??

If you can't think well, you might just assume GMB approved the largesse when in fact the fault lies with the RMFAC. The man hasn't even taken over yet

Nigerian journalism

IzonOwei:
It has already started happening...na today we tell GEJ to perform solely for the niger deltans?..the west and the north dont give a damn about us...jonathan shoulda done this when he was in office...fix all niger deltans in top positions as regards oil and gas,develop the niger delta to standard,complete the east west road,build an airport in bayelsa state,ensure all niger delta governors are well behaved to the development of the niger delta,ensure the NDDC and the ministry of niger delta affairs are controlled by comptetent people,provide electricity for nigerians and return back to bayelsa after a tenure and leave the sit for the stinking hausa's knowing he has developed his zone...now look at this court injunction,halting a massive project to bayelsa where the countries wealth sits....



jonathan I think you don se amm.....

Niger deltans we had better get ready o to fight against schemes and court injuctions that wont let us benefit fully from the oil beneath us...

Since Jona our brother don mess up,leaving us with nothing...

Of course he empowered Niger deltans abi tompolo, asari, ateke, boyloaf, Edwin Clark etc are no longer Niger deltans?

Go show jona you can handle a gun and you'll be empowered.

oneeast:
I am beginning to see GEJ as clueless! What was GEJ doing for 6yrs that he could not give his state an airport. He could not even deliver this same oil project to his oil rich state! Is it now at the eleventh hour that he can achieve it?
GEJ has lived up to that word- CLUELESS.
Before you insult me, I was a member of TAN that campaigned in UK and also die-hard GEJ fan.

Chai! if a self confessed TANoid can be this brutally candid, what remains for me to say??

I'll simply repeat....chai!!


As for this guy below, he isn't a fastguy because if he was, he'll know the difference between a private investment and a fully govt funded project.

One Nigeria is a big fraud
Which court stops jonathan from relocating $500m oil project from lagos to bayelsa
lagos is nt one of d oil producing state in Nigeria and them can never be
Gej if u dnt ignore dat court n do ur wish I will nt be happy wt u at all we deserve it becos it is our right
DS ONE NIGERIA IS A BIG FRAUD

Nigeria isn't a big fraud my friend, Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the big fraud

tobtap:
we dont want to be america puppet

Obama attending an inauguration in Nigeria doesn't make us puppets.....

We make ourselves puppets to the international community when we rely on loans to pay civil servants salaries and pray and beg for aid to lift our poor out of poverty. Based on this, I dare say we've been puppets for a very long time but we have a chance to start afresh now.

South Korea, Japan and Saudi Arabia are countries that prove that you could be very close friends with america and still maintain your dignity while assuring your populace access to a very good life.

We can get assistance from America without losing our identity or dignity. GMB by his victory has shown that Nigerians now have a say in who governs them while gej conceeding has shown that the Nigerian big man is also capable of listening to the voice of reason.

These are the tenets of great democracies and we've shown that we've arrived and are ready to play like big men.....no more puppets.

lexy2014:
U don't need 2b a rocket scientist 2 figure this out. If u could figure it out how come it was difficult 4 GEJ a Ph.D holder †☺ figure it out?. Irrespective of specialisation, my brother nobody should b able 2 bamboozle him

@bold, honestly I don't know

Sibrah:
Are you sure of your $9/barrel oil price or you are just trying to make it look like Abacha never stole $5B?

I did a quick search and got a page with some nice results:
www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/about-bp/energy-economics/statistical-review-of-world-energy/review-by-energy-type/oil/oil-prices.html

I don't how much Abacha stole but if you read my post very well, you'll realise I never intended to belittle Abacha's sleaze. I still wonder what gave you that idea

See the link below to see oil price progression.

socialmediaman:
Lol. I don't, it doesn't change anything about what EFCC will do about the matter though

But of course

socialmediaman:
So you won't blame a PHD or masters degree holder because he was "Ignorant" according to you, but in your own small capacity, even without any professional and personal advisers, you know what is right abi?

No I won't my friend.....you have a problem with my decision?

If Abacha could steal all these with oil selling for $9/barrel and petrol @N3.25/ltr, I shudder to think about what has been stolen with oil selling @$115/barrel and petrol @N97/ltr

I won't blame gej for this particular issue. The man is not a lawyer. Its the officials in the ministry of justice I blame for making it look like its impossible to prosecute crimes of this nature.

Of course we all know why they do this: the kickbacks they are surely going to get from the deals. Mohammed Adoke must be a billionaire in dollar terms now.

They make it very clear that the real crime in Nigeria isn't stealing.....ITS NOT STEALING ENOUGH

Very very soon.....we won't need to prosecute armed robbery in Nigeria again. We'll simply ask the president and the victims to act like Mandela and move on.

What is prejudicial about saying "we will not forgive and forget the killings in rivers state" is Mr Secondus admitting he knows those who carried out the act? Is the PDP admitting guilt and stylishly begging for closure?

After all gej said his ambition wasn't worth the life of any Nigerian so why is PDP not celebrating GMB for trying to ensure those who didn't allow gej's promise to be kept are brought to book?

Methinks GMB is only trying clear the stains on Jonathan's failed ambition and he should be applauded. Killings were done in rivers state under the banner of Jonathan's ambition. The killers should be brought to book. Simple

doninno:
Ohk sori sir

No wahala my friend

Wish you a great day

doninno:
So becuse she is a female she should nt b punished abi? A snake snake is a snake no matter its size or ahape.

My dear, do you have comprehension issues? Did you read my post AT ALL before rushing to comment?

Can you point to any statement I made that remotely suggests I don't want her punished because she's female?

Bukola Saraki is a Fulani man

Yes 'it' is

Haba a female student??

Kai....another promising life wasted

The guy talk plenty hurtful things but he spoke truth on most of them.

I think I'll like him to replace jega

I pity the next guy to have a fit of orubebeism

Also the guy couldn't hide his admiration of Tinubu and even Amaechi

Imagine him saying for Tinubu pushing PDP out, he's sure God has absolved him of all sins

Odimegwu na real crazy old man

Muazu the game changer.....

Sure he did change the venue of the game from aso rock to otuoke waterside

drtwist:
My friend special thanks, other have been laugh at me,,,,,,not pointing to my error like you did . Just learn my mistake

Cheers

BlackTechnology:
What is your view on NPA directorship yesterday

What is your view on the pro chancellor and chairman of council of university of Nigeria Nsukka?

BlackTechnology:
Let me open your eyes to other things Yorubas overlooked



By the time the all South agrees to take back power from the North, which region do you think will be given the power.?

Yoruba = ×

Niger Delta= ×

Igbo= √





Wise politicians look at the future and not the present.

No problems....Igbo can have presidency and VP in 2019 if they wish and if they can.....

The fact and reality for now is that GMB whom you despise is going to rule over all Nigeria including Igbo till 2019.

The best you can do is pray for good governance and the worst you can do is choke on your hate, bitterness and sorrows.

The choice is yours

NewNigeriaMind:
God bless you.

Like someone said on channels yesterday, if Buhari lives he can appoint all his ministers from Duara is village. As long as those appointed do their job and electricity is constant, no more long queue, educational standard improves and their prosperity for all, they can carry go

The clueless, hateful and bitter do not know this

BlackTechnology:
Remember 1979 and 1983 elections


Ask Awo why he lost

Awo losing is very inconsequential.....gej presidency with NOTHING for bayelsans to show as benefit is proof. 5 Igbo senate presidents in this fourth republic is ample proof that it matters not where the leader comes from....

Good governance is the indispensable thing

BlackTechnology:
You still do not get the writer's view


His point is this


If the North seeks to hold power for a little longer, they just have to dump the SW for the SS/SE which will leave you guys in the cold.


Imagine the North in 2023, presenting their son with a SE/SS VP whom have being promised presidency.


Do you think the SS/SE will support a SW presidency 2023


Wake up


1979 and 1983 is repeating itself


Ask


Awolowo.

Which is more valuable to you? A country where youths are employed and we don't have to drop dead queuing for fuel or a sick country with all problems but you having the consolation of an Igbo man preside over the mess? Of course the answer is yes for you otherwise you wouldn't have kept on supporting gej despite the fact he's been an unmitigated disaster and failure

GMB should appoint igbo as finance, works, justice ministers if he so wishes (I even have good suggestions for the 3 offices)....its immaterial to me. A country where my children grow in plenty and security is INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT to folks like me.

GMB should bring a Ghanaian VP in 2019 if he likes, the realities of a failed Nigeria is more pertinent than stupid and childish tribal considerations

BlackTechnology:
In other words, Yorubas should stop fighting to get positions in this administration


After all , the Dan Fodios have capable hands


Tinubu will be so happy with you

Do the elite in igboland dictate what you believe and how you run your life?

BlackTechnology:
So why were you elites crying that the director of Nigerian Port Authority is not Yoruba.

I guess Daniel KANU also spoke for you when he wanted Abacha to rule for life?

I guess chief Obioha also spoke for all Igbo when he went begging GMB for appointments and other patronage?

NewNigeriaMind:
Which is why the final summation of the article is that Yorubas should put regional interest aside and put National Interest as paramount to deliver the change we need.

Thanks for this. That is what we all should work towards....only the NATIONAL INTEREST is what we all should work towards which sadly we've been denied for so long. That is the only thing that will ensure good for us all

God bless you bro

NewNigeriaMind:
Relax, the author of the article is a Yoruba.

He made some predications which I think we should discuss.

My bro, there's nothing for me to read in the article. The heading shows its an article that will not work for how we hope Nigeria is run. What does the Yoruba losing out in a GMB presidency have to do with Nigeria working again?

If GMB likes, he should employ only shuwa Arabs in his govt. If they don't steal everything or allow criminals walk free in the land, I'm very OK.

GMB wasn't created to.please Yoruba people

BlackTechnology:
That's why we need competent hands to CHANGE Nigeria [size=14pt]even if all chosen are Northerners[/size]


Buhari

Prove us wrong that you are not

BABA ONE CHANCE

BABA HYPOCRITE

BABA MAGICIAN


Prove us wrong by probing


Tinubu OBJ Saraki Atiku Rochas Amaechi


Prove us wrong by probing the corrupt Federal Civil Service which is dominated by Tinubu's people


Sir

Tinubu's people voted you because they believe they can steal the oil wealth and presidency through you


They believe Tinubu through Osinbajo can control your government the way Idiagbon did


Sir

They do not believe in change because if they do, they would have voted you in 2007 and 2011


Remember that you are a descendant of Usman Dan Fodio

Remember that your ancestors never allowed the Oduduwas deceive them


WISE UP

why not my friend, why not??

Even if we can get honest expatriates to help us run Nigeria to make it work again, why freaking not?

Let GMB appoint only katsina indigenes if he likes, as long as the country wakes up again and gej remains in otuoke, he should go ahead

finally a Yoruba man that doesn't make you choke on your hatred and bitterness

I hope you've sent your words of 'wisdom' to GMB?

Mogidi:
Below is the article which the @OP refuse to post.

Didn't they also lose out under gej after fighting to free him from the cage Turai put him? after OBJ, a Yoruba man installed him as PDP candidate, after Yoruba states voted overwhelmingly for him to clinch the presidency so what is the big deal if they also lose out under GMB?

A Yoruba man is the VP and even if he doesn't even perform a single function, with respect to the way you clannish folks analyse politics, its still 100times better than whatever they got under gej so why can't you go cry in your closet over gej's monumental loss?

Are the Yoruba the reason for your unending misery?

GMB was voted to work for Nigeria, not to please the Yoruba. How difficult is this that you simply can't comprehend it?

Frugality is the watchword now. No time for any rubbish 'omo baba olowo' behaviour.

Good one there sylva

If the GMB govt doesn't get to the root of this fraud, I'll agree Nigeria can't be salvaged and in fact shouldn't be salvaged.
