Never again shall our country be governed by PDP.

We have already kicked them out, so it is now time to also kick out APC.

V0lv0:
Exactly if people will stop being biased and actually look at the facts they will realise that the driver is a liar.

Firstly he claimed to have fetched her without her putting a destination on the trip. Anybody who has ever used Taxify and Uber will know that your destination is required before you are able to request a trip. How was he able to get her without her destination. [/b]So that already said a lot. [b]If you having problems with a customer he could have driven to the nearest police station or even called Taxify yet he didn't.

I use Taxify and I do not need to input a destination before connecting to a driver.

Stop lumping what you know about Uber as also a feature of Taxify.

When he had a problem with his stubborn passenger, he told her to alight even before he moved the vehicle, but she refused. He ended the trip and drove to his own house that was in the same neighbourhood, opened his own door with the ignition on, and still told her to alight from his vehicle. She refused and instead removed his car key from the ignition, instead of alighting as she was the only occupant in a car that had its front door opened.

He had every right to retrieve his key from a female car thief by any means necessary.

Now that he has filed a suit, let her go and defend herself in a civil court for both physical assault, emotional damages and loss of income while the driver recuperates from the assault.

bigtt76:
I'm sure if the courts were to sentence the driver to death, Dora's would still be lying and celebrities would be supporting her SMH.... Sad!

I've watched the video several times and all I see is a case of a girl (Dorcas) who was either disappointed by her boyfriend or is having a period induced bad day, trying to take it out on an innocent driver.

The video was all acting and you could see it written all over her.

If the driver wanted to rape her, he wouldn't drive her to his gate. Driver pointed out that the pickup location was not far from his house.

If the driver wanted to rape her, he wouldn't stand in front of the door quietly urging her out. The mistake he did was to try to drag her out hence she started shouting.... We all did that when we were kids, small touch from our elder ones results in us all crying like wounded lions. Even footballers do it too. Remember that was what made Christiano Ronaldo flee from ManU. He feigned serious injury from a slight touch from Rooney during the Euros.

Dorcas and her supporters should swallow the humble pie and accept that it was all lies before this escalates higher.

Ronaldo was threatened by the English press and fans, yet he returned to the UK after the 2006 worldcup fiasco with England and Rooney.

He went on to play for 06/07, 07/08, and 08/09 seasons and won the UEFA Champions League in 2008 and Ballon D'or before he could "FLEE" as you termed it.

thatigboman:
once d driver picks you up and starts the journey, he will see the destination

Yes he will see it if it was entered, but Taxify does not require a destination before it connects passenger to driver. So some don't bother putting it before making the request.

thatigboman:
says who?

I used taxify while I was in Nigeria during the Xmas period. I did not need to put in a destination before it would proceed to connect me. I believe Uber required a destination, but Taxify did not.

Secondly, whether u put a destination or not, both Uber and Taxify ENSURES that the driver does not see a passengers destination until the trip is started by the driver after pickup. This is to prevent drivers turning down trip requests made due to dislike for a certain destination.

So most drivers request to know the destination when you/they call to confirm the trip request, or when they arrive to pick the passenger before they start the trip.

In this case, I believe what the driver said was he requested to know the destination before he started the trip, or he did not see the destination after he started the trip which is possible with Taxify. So he has to proceed to ask for her destination, a request which she refused.

Infact, I rode many times on Taxify without a destination due to network or phone touchscreen hassles, such that not until I got to wherever I chose to stop before the trip recorded that location as my destination at the end of the trip.

Exactly the right reaction when idiots in government don't understand the concept of separation of church and state.

So the state is willing to invest N10b in a structure so a certain creed of people can worship their God who is not temporal?

What manner of mad men do we have as leaders in Africa?

The state government cannot win a law suit if this matter is brought before the courts.

Buhari even failed his own family. He is such a hypocrite, and a useless president.

My consolation is that the wheel barrow that will take him to Daura in 2019, is already fabricated.

Oh!

So this useless president just renewed his reading glasses and can now see?

Also the security agencies just realised that it is a crime to bear arms illegally?

What manner of useless country is this.

Why are clowns in responsible and sensitive positions in this country?

Both are sycophants that Nigeria would be better off to keep outside the country.

deomelllo:
He met 3,000MW power generation in 2010

Power generation dropped to less than 2,000MW on the very day he left office.

Even though he earned from oil more than any president or leader in the history of Nigeria

He also inherited huge ECA and foreign reserves

By the time he relinquished power in 2015, he was borrowing hundreds of billions to pay workers salary.


The wasted years and looted wealth.


How sad..

Very true!

However, Buhari is as useless as Jonathan. He has even recently lamented about the dilapidated refineries as if he too did not make a promise to fix them.

He must also return to his village like his predecessor.

You are responsible for that disgrace having spent over 2.5yrs as president.

Amarabae:
Thank you.
Look at some of the screenshot the anuofia that quoted me.
A notorious Igbo hater.
The name "AMARABAE" do hit their nerves,
I hit them hard and watch them cry.
Never be apologetic with the enemy.

You were really hurt by the facts that you quoted, that you had to bring it into a thread that is not in anyway related to the debate that brought up that appropriate response to equally bigoted posts from Igbos like you?

You chose to derail this thread because of your own insecurities. Insecurities every Igbo man and woman will pass to their children about the great Yorubas who they still wonder what makes them so thick, and why Igbos have to be economic refugees and Mexicans of the Yorubas.

And of all topics to use to start a tribal debate, you chose to use the first secondary school in the East which came only after the West had become saturated with such secondary schools and its people already demanding for a university?

You really do suffer a lot of inferiority complex even when the topic should give you some closure.

Very tasteless information at such a traumatic time for victims of Fulani terrorism.

This is more decent that what we have in APC and PDP.

We need to find a way to sack everyone that has ever held an elective position since 1999. Then all those who have ever been state commissioners and federal ministers. Then all who have ever been Advisers/Assistants. Then all who have ever held offices within the political parties.

We need to start on a clean slate.

LordAdam16:
First off, I think this thread is a click bait. But I may be wrong.

Even then, all of you blaming GEJ for voting PMB are being insincere.

Everyone acknowledges that GEJ tried, but could have done better. The reason why he wasn't able to do better is the system that lets corruption thrive.

But in 2015, Nigeria wanted a miracle worker. And PMB was whitewashed as a miracle worker. Nigerians have always fantasized about a strong man that would solve all our problems with a flip of a switch. That's why we always jubilated when a new coup happened in the past. Unfortunately, in spite of the serial failures, we never learn.

Now that Buhari has been demystified, you guys are asking why GEJ was not the miracle worker you guys wanted. Well, here's the newsflash. There is no miracle worker in Nigeria politics. You get the good and the bad in one package. In 2019, you'd also have to vote a corrupt individual who would get elected using corrupt money and who would protect his corrupt friends. Anything else is wishful thinking.

GEJ enacted electoral reforms, revitalized the rail, made us believe in agriculture and the possibility of food sufficiency, invested in education, increased minimum wage, designed and implemented processes to limit corruption (BVN, IPPIS, Fertilizer grants, et cetera in case you have amnesia), kept inflation rate suppressed in single-digits, just to mention a few.

You guys said that was not enough. You wanted a bigot and a core Islamist (aka, reformed democrat) who never accepted he lost elections, never improved himself in over 30 years outside of power, and who failed woefully in his first stint.

The joke is on all of you!

I leave you with GEJ's statement (attached) in 2015:



Virtually all the people you guys are pushing to replace Buhari in 2019 contested in 2015. Out of all of them, you guys chose Buhari to replace GEJ. So we've gone full circle. We're back to choosing a corrupt individual who would give us the same stable progress GEJ gave (like we've been doing since 1999), since your ill-fated experiment with your Messianic bigot didn't pan out.

For that, I say Good Morning ALL. Hopefully, you guys don't experiment with the lives of 200m Nigerians again.

-Lord

Your ass licking of Jonathan knows no bounds.

Jonathan was a useless president who at a time of flourish, emptied the treasury that Obasanjo and Yar'Adua had laboured to pile up.
He was a friend and eternal patron of corruption, and never forsook corruption even while campaigning for reelection.

We all know this, even FFK knew this before he joined the Jonathan bandwagon of failure, internationally it was known, except unrepentant sycophants like you.

I repeat, how did Jonathan take us forward by impoverishing the foreign reserves?
How did he take us forward by campaigning for a continuation of corruption and an abhorrence for prosecuting and jailing those who stole huge money that was rubbished as money that cannot buy Peugeot?
How did he take us forward by not doing anything tangible on the 2nd Niger Bridge despite promising he would complete it in his 1st term?

How exactly did our treasury get emptied just to buy 2nd hand trains and build almajiri schools?

Yet we now know that funds siphoned through the ONSA could have bought us new tear rubber trains?

Olisah Metuh is still waiting for Jonathan to come testify as to how Dasuki got the bank account he personally supplied to the president for jobs he did for Jonathan and not the government of Nigeria.

How did the NIA get the funds it stored in Ikoyi that was received from the Jonathan regime?

A very useless and retarde.d president who accepted that terrorism was a way of life for Nigeria, saying it is our own time to have such problems from our family members.

Yet you remain an incurable, corrupt and bigoted caveman, who remains bitter and miserable that he lost out in having access to a corrupt government.

May your life and that of your whole family be wasted and bankrupted the way Jonathan wasted the future of Nigeria.

I leave you with Jonathan's statement while campaigning for reelection against the image that he was a useless fighter of corruption.

" How much did Jim Nwobodo stole? -money ($5.1m) not up to the price of a peugeot and Buhari regime send him to jail,is that good enough". (President Goodluck Jonathan PDP Presidential Rally, Enugu)

Buhari has displayed the same despicable attribute that reinforced the corruption image of Jonathan.

The inability to discipline/sack/prosecute your own cabinet employees. An aspect of leadership and responsibility and urgency where Obasanjo scored A2 and Yar'Adua scored C4, but Jonathan and Buhari have both scored Z100.

Buhari, like Jonathan, need to be begged, threatened and harassed to do the right thing.

However, Jonathan never hid the fact that he couldn't be bothered about corruption or fighting it. Buhari on the other hand is a hypocrite who failed the standards he self for himself.

Starting from the refusal to publicly declare his assets as promised on like Jonathan who openly said he does not give a damn as he never made such promise and that he did such action under Yar'Adua was because he was forced by his boss then.

Going on to discipline he medical trips abroad, despite castigating such when Yar'Adua was the patient, and despite making such promise during the campaign to get elected.

Also the promise to fight corruption even if the indicted are his own family.

Buhari, you are a useless hypocrite, parochial tribalist and nepotist, and enemy of the state.

For that, you will also be sent home to your village Daura.

Destination Daura: The return of the failed president.

After all said and done, the return to Daura in 2019, must be mission accomplished.

Whatever gains your government has made, has been personally destroyed by Buhari's attitude to government business and his lackadaisical fight against corruption.

Buhari must go home to Daura in 2019.

kernel504:
You sound pained.

I am pained at failure. Failure must never be tolerated.

Buhari is a goner.

LordAdam16:
Oh, can't you defend Ribadu?

You f*cking hypocrite. So Ribadu is the anti-corruption sage that would solve all our problems.

Look how foolish you are.

Jonathan wouldn't have ruled forever, he wouldn't even attempt it like your Chief Navigator OBJ.

If he had continued, by now we'd be talking about handing power to a detribalized Northerner, not having to choose between PMB and Atiku.

I can't take anyone serious who thinks Ribadu would fight corruption? There's no difference between Ribadu and Atiku.

-Lord

Dude your frustration is so obvious, calm your corrupt nerves.

I can defend Ribadu and his integrity. Was he not the guy your PDP tried to make caretaker chairman and he declined?

Was he not the guy who left APC when the party accepted the Adamawa governor into its fold?

Was he not the guy who rejected $15m bribe from Ibori?

Yes Ribadu is an anti corruption sage and you are a corruption promoter.

Read your posts and try to identify anything positive that you have said since morning.

LordAdam16:
Yes, says a fellow who voted corrupt Ribadu and Buhari and is gearing to vote another corrupt candidate in 2019.

You want to fight corruption, yet you keep voting in corrupt individuals. Then you have the guts to claim someone else is an hypocrite.

I don't pretend about who I support and why I do it. GEJ made progress in electoral law, freedom, gender equality, infrastructural development, economic indices, and agriculture. These are things that are important to me, and I felt he deserved to continue since the alternative was an equally-corrupt, uneducated, bigoted ex-dictator.

Now, in 2018, we are worried about the President holding free and fair elections and leaving peacefully if he loses.

Something we stopped worrying about when Yar'Adua was elected.

-Lord

Are you saying we did not worry about free and fair elections in 2011 and 2015?

Guy you are too deep in sycophancy.

No wonder Jonathan failed when he surrounded himself with court jesters like you.

LordAdam16:
You are VERY VERY ST*PID!

Are we talking about the same Nuhu Ribadu.

The same Ribadu who has no problem jumping from ACN to PDP to APC to PDP, courting corrupt politicians to support and fund his ambition, served under corruption impersonified OBJ, and actually supported GEJ in 2015 that'd fight corruption.

Now I know your brain is completely empty.

Fool*sh trash!

-Lord

I can see you are an aimless troll who is just so miserable that a government he had contacts to benefit from corruption was sacked, leaving him without contacts to benefit from the current corrupt government.

You have not said anything positive since morning.

All you are interested in is that corruption must not die and must occur in a government that you support and benefit from.

As far as you are concerned, we should even stop voting all together as nothing can never change with any new government?

We should have continued with Jonathan forever?

And mind you, if Ribadu had been elected in 2011 with ACN, that would have been his first political party membership. And yes, he had would not have failed or be clueless like the disgraced Jonathan.

obailala:
Just curious... you repeatedly talk of bigotry, bigotry and bigotry and now I ask you, what kind of bigotry exactly?.. is it tribal, religious, regional, political or racial bigotry?.. Only a fool needs to be told the same thing a 100 times before he gets the message; I am from the SE, I was born and raised in the SS, I am a Christian and even though I support one political party over the other, I am not a member of any political party. So once again, what kind of bigotry exactly do you refer to?... And let us just assume for one that I'm from the SW, and also assuming that the SW voted Buhari in 2015 because he picked a SWestern VP. Did the same Buhari not also pick a SWestern pastor in 2011 as his VP when he ran against the same GEJ?... What warped logic does your brain have to explain that the same SW voted GEJ/Sambo over their VP brother in 2011?

Look Lordadam or whatever you call yourself, it is exceedingly clear that you are a frustrated soul. Your frustration leads you to compulsively throw insults all over the place in every sentence you make, barking all the time like an infected attack dog looking for someone to infect. I'm sorry boy, I wouldnt indulge you any more, I refuse to be infected further with your filth. Go in peace and live your frustrated misery elsewhere.

The guy is a lord of frustration.

It's like he lost a big contract due to the sacking of Jonathan. So he is so pained that corruption has continued without him being a beneficiary.

He doesn't even appreciate that like him in 2015, others also told whoever cared to listen in 2011 that Jonathan would be a failure.

Yet he still insists that the same regions that in 2015 voted out Jonathan after those same regions voted him in 2011, are bigots for realising he was a failed and useless president - a realisation he has refused to come to.

That dude is the frustrated lord of hypocrisy.

LordAdam16:
Ordinarily I wouldn't mind. But can these failures actually keep GEJ out of their rants.

They don't think they made a mistake in 2015. Why is it that every time someone says we told you so, they default to the "you're a pained 2015 loser."

Everyone lost in 2015. Because we are no better in 2018 than we were in 2015.

And when we remind them about the difficulty in dislodging Buhari with a third unknown force, they go to the "you always support losers" line.

Like WTF!

It's like on one-hand we have realists who know Nigeria is a corrupt cesspit, there are no saints in the political circle, the system is screwed beyond repair, and all we can ideally hope for are steady, measured improvements. And on the other hand there are adults with kid brains who believe the system is workable, Nigeria can be turned to el Dorado in 4 years, there are many saints in the political circle, and we can resolve our electricity problems in 6 months.

And when the realists state their opinion, we are lambasted for supporting corruption, not bold enough to want something better, or inconsequential. Yet they keep expecting the impossible.

This is Nigeria's current situation. Buhari on one hand, an agreed failure with APC a conglomeration of vipers. PDP on the other hand with wolves. And a growing third force made up of people from APC and PDP who have always been part of the problems we're facing; and who would open their hands to welcome all the so-called "corrupt Old Guard" to fund and support their ambition.

Yet these "adults with kid brains" actually think that with this arrangement, there is a saint somewhere in either of these three parties of deplorables that is not corrupt, has never been corrupt, wouldn't ever be corrupt, and if elected would not condone corruption even after being sponsored by corrupt elements and essentially riding to the seat using corrupt proceeds.

That is why they'd scream about GEJ using corrupt proceeds to fund his election and say nothing about PMB using corrupt proceeds from BAT, Amaechi, Saraki, Atiku, El-Rufai, et cetera to finance his election. Then they act so surprised that PMB is condoning the corruption by his henchmen.

And they have the effrontery to throw jabs even with their glaring hypocrisy and bigotry (my thief is better than your thief). How exactly do you expect me not to just call them what they are? ID**TS!

I've essentially asked all of them to bring one name that'd fight corruption better than GEJ, and no one has brought a name. No one.

So they hated GEJ for corruption, but don't know anyone who'd fight it better than GEJ. What do you call someone who reason like that. Please tell me?

At some point, you just have to look someone in the face and tell them they're f*cked up. I'm not going to mince words about that.

One just said he'd keep trying like he's gambling. F*king unbelievable.

-Lord

You are a pained loser, nothing more.

We that told you that Jonathan would amount to nothing in 2011, did not sit idly by when he lived up to expectations as a failure.

We challenged his government and engaged ourselves politically to return him to his village.

You on the other hand, is stuck with a belief that nobody is better than Jonathan. We employed another man to fight corruption and he has failed, and we will return him to his village also.

Your agony at losing the 2015 election is written all over your posts.

And as a corruption realist that you and many are, you are obviously benefitting from the system as it is, hence your disdain for any attempt at change.

All you have written can be summed up as: corruption is part and parcel of Nigeria, make the most of it.

It is certain that you heaved a sigh of relief when it became obvious that Buhari also did not care about fighting corrupwould

I already told you I would have fought corruption better. Nuhu Ribadu if elected in 2011, would have fought corruption and not emptied the treasury like you political lord, Jonathan.

Can we really keep Jonathan out of the political discourse concerning the 2015 election that was his sacking?

What more evidence do we need that you are a political jobber and sycophant of the Jonathan regime?

dfrost:
Throwback, you just want to spoil this beautiful history with your politics right? Please go to the politics and fight with your fellow politicians. Haba?

OK ooo.

Make I begin dey go ooo.

Bye bye ooo.

LordAdam16:
Was the North calling for return of power to the North in 2011 like they were in 2015?

You are very very stup*d and unintelligent.

GEJ vs PMB in 2015 for the North was not about who would perform, it was about power returning to the North. They only sought Tinubu's help to make their option seem logical. It wasn't.

And whether you like it or not, you may claim to have voted for PMB because you thought he would perform (which says a lot about your silliness), but for the SW AC bloc, voting for PMB was about getting an inroad into Aso Rock.

Stop assuming all the 15 million people who voted for PMB did so because they felt PMB was better, they voted him for several reasons. There are the 12m bigots who would have voted for him even if he ran against Obama, and there are those of you who voted for him because you had the thinking capacity of a sloth, and there are those who voted for him because of the political clout, et cetera.

Get your head out of your a$$ and look at the big picture.

That's why even if a third party comes up, they'd still need a Northern candidate, none of which is better than GEJ and some of which like Kwankwaso and El-Rufai are actually worse than Buhari, to be able to dethrone Buhari.

This is Nigeria, not the US. Most people vote based on sentiments. And when you join the bandwagon effect, you are simply being used to further goals you ordinarily may not agree to. That's why as badly as Buhari has performed, he'd still get as much if not more votes in 2019 than he did in 2015.

Go to a main market in Kano and say Buhari is a disaster and try convincing them to vote against him.

M0R0N.

-Lord

And I repeat, did the SW not care about making an inroad to Aso Rock in 2011 with a Buhari/TundeBakare ticket or a Ribadu/FolaAdeola ticket, but suddenly cared about inroad in 2015?

Truth be told, it was Jonathan who won in 2011 based on ethnic and religious sentiments of the Southern Nigeria and Middle Belt electorates.

My friends and family kept on saying, let us vote him for he is a minority, he is a Christian, he had no shoes. And right there in my Yoruba populated neighbourhood in Lagos, I saw that only few of us voted Ribadu, even fewer for Buhari, while Jonathan had over 85% of the valid votes at that polling unit.

So, in 2015, the Yorubas suddenly cared about a VP position that was already on offer in 2011, and chose to sack the wonderful Jonathan?

Dude, stop beating about the bush with you bigoted narrative.

"For stealing money ($5.1m) that cannot buy Peugeot, Buhari regime jailed Nwobodo. Is that fair enough?"

-Jonathan


The inglorious words of a confirmed ineffectual buffoon that was campaigning for reelection.

OlujobaSamuel:
can you pls stop typing my mind, your comments no allow me get talk for mouth, I also supported Ribadu in 2013, opted for buhari in 2015, but God forbid we have a gej/bubu again, such a pity we had such dumb fellows elected for a cummulative of 9+yrs.
I will do everything in my own little way to make sure the current dummy go back to his village in 2019.
We are learning, with time, we are gonna get it right.
For those shouting we told you, I seek no apologies from you for backing a clueless one in 2011, so i owe you none for my choice of a dumbfullllll one in 2015, I owe myself a duty to correct my errors, you can stick to yours.

Exactly!

I also told them in 2011 that Jonathan was an incompetent moro.n and I was proved right. Yet, I did not go about seeking for apologies to do the right thing and ensure he was sacked.

LordAdam16:
Can you answer the simple question dimwit?

The clue as to why the North Central voted against Jonathan is in the name. "NORTH" Central.

But I wouldn't expect you to understand that would you?

Provide the name of the incorruptible politician who who prosecute supporters of his election. Or keep your trashy mouth shut!

-Lord

Why are you this stupid?

Did the North Central not vote overwhelmingly for Jonathan in 2011, despite having Buhari and Ribadu contesting also?

You are a chronic ethnic bigot.

Jonathan was sacked by well meaning Nigerians, we do not care what partisan and bigoted sycophants feel about that patriotic event.

You keep on insisting I should provide a name to prove you right that corruption must always remain in Nigeria and in our politics? Okay I provide myself as a man who would not regard who supported my campaign when faced with a corruption case involving my political supporters.

What kind of caveman are you? Why are you so negative and afraid of the future, that you will rather continue with a present failure?

LordAdam16:
Oga, I asked you a simple question.

Who is that Nigerian politician who would prosecute his core supporters who supported and financed his election? Give me one name!

SW and NC did not sack Jonathan. A group of misfits with their heads in cloud nine ganged up to bring in a tested failure because of VP position.

Answer my question. And stop beating around the bush.

-Lord

Any candidate is adjudged by his campaign, and we are not condemned to voting only notable and recycled politicians, as such we are not compelled to retain a failed incumbent just because we believe we have no alternative.

You only reason like a moronic bigot.

I already proved to you that the same dynamics that existed with buhari in 2015 also existed in 2011, yet Buhari lost.

So does it mean the people who voted due to a VP position did not know of the VP position in 2011 when they voted Jonathan over a Buhari?

Did Jonathan win/win convincingly in Benue, Kwara, Kogi, Plateau and Taraba in 2015 like he did in 2011?

Or did the North Central also vote due to a VP position?

So who is beating around the bush?

You are a moronic and partisan PDP operative, and I can only wish you more misery to the one you got in 2015.

Bigots like you pushed Jonathan till he lost. Your likes kept him passive and deceived him that he was doing well, and that all those who criticised him were just ethnic bigots.

We know how that turned out eventually.
