Wetin:This is the type of response that make me want to disconnect some people from the Internet!  @Donzman: Donzman: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-40808.32.html#msg898949Your comment makes me wonder if SOLUDO wont even make a better President than Buhari!  Funny enough, our "EXECUTIVES" are only good in LOOTING! ebos:Sure, He's probably better than the WORST Guv'nor. @Post: Call your friends who reside in Abia State and hear them speak about their Guv'nor, then you'll appreciate what these talk is all about. Bottom-line, Uzor Kalu is not fit to be a President! Whether he has good command of English language or not; is not the issue. Whether he is RICH before or after 8 years of guv'nance, is not the issue. The dude has not done anything worth commending, he HAS nothing to offer. He has given Abians nothing after 8 years and he wont do any for Nigeria. (new refineries? in whose name?) Most other State guv'nors and politicians have same fault. This is the reason WE SHLD SHINE OUR EYES and elect CREDIBLE people, not those who are used to throwing money around; bcx they'll only RE-FILL their pockets when they get in there; nor those promising to "fire", "water", "oil", and create ministries. We have gone BEYOND all that crap! Above all, we need a LEADER, who for one MUST be an Intellectual (for a change  ); able to portray a 'beautiful' IMAGE of Nigeria home and abroad; one who can rightly stand among the rank of world presidents and do us proud.I have a candidate in mind! Do you? |

@Donnymikky: I stand corrected! Just that, often times I wonder whether one needs to attend any "school" to be able to contest for presidency, especially if such a person is to be ELECTED not SELECTED! |

Most comments here have all been very positive with respect to Pat UTOMI for President. donnymikky: @Donnymikky & Gani Your advice seems out-of-place, if I may say so. Of all the presidential candidates currently aspiring for this TOP SEAT, whc of them seem to hav the qualities of honestly being an administrator in a Local Govt Area? At this stage, we shld look beyond whether UTOMI has what it takes to lead Nigeria or not, but to sincerely and honestly weigh the QUALITIES of all the current candidates in this race. On your other issue: Of what good will Utomi be as a Minister when he serves under a corrupt system? Where is Okonojo-Iweala today after her input in this administration? In essence, we should select people based on their Values, their Strengths, as well as their precedence. Let's not allow sentiments to be-cloud us. Nigerians have been known to be very 'understanding' with corrupt and direction-less leaders, but I don't think the patience is beginning to wear thin. {need I remind u of MEND in d Delta, or the Abuja Military-Pensioners blockade?} That FUTURE your were referring to, my dear gentleman DonnyMikky, is NOW! NOW is the TIME to stand up for a Change! We CANT make another such mistakes in the likes of Alamesiya, Uzor Kalu, Fayose, Dariye, and a whole host of them. I have a GUT feeling that UTOMI remains the Best Candidate thus far! |

Heaven help us! A good idea is to get the Interview repeated for him in Ibo language, possibly with an Ibo-digital translator (IDT), maybe he'll be more comfortable. [HardTalk, take note!] What in heaven's has this shameless clown think he can offer to Nigerians where he couldn't do anything in Abia State for a whole 8 years?! His stewardship is minus-ZERO! I am from Umuahia, the Abia State capital, but I'm filled with so much anger at what the people are going through bcx of the greedy clown who has been guv'nor for 8 years. There has been NO CHANGE at all. Some other state guvnors do one or two things to improve the environment, but UMUAHIA has remained a SLOW town, and d guvnor claims all sort of lies. It's so shameful! I'm so glad their 8 years of looting are over, funny none of them bothered to re-furbish the PRISONS, bcx I fore-see them ending up there. NO APOLOGIES! |

monwuba:Naija-rians are indeed changing! MEND is pulling it's stunts. A few days ago, Abuja experienced a MASSIVE traffic jam from Nyanya to d main Abuja city! [the military pensioneers should have also blocked-off Kubwa express and Airport express too! ]It seems like u can push Naija-rians to d wall anymore! He will retaliate. We can't cast our votes now and it'll be rigged and we'll stay quiet, I strongly believe that time has past. Anyway, I still dey support 'President' Pat UTOMI. GBAM! |

IKUGWU:So much talk out there about Human Capital Development (HCD); but how can we put d Cart in-front of the Horse and expect progress? How far can we go with HCD when our Educational Policy is in shambles? How can we expect GOOD economy, good moral values when the people (teachers) who are supposed to imbibe these values into us, into our children, are left to suffer? Take a look at what's happening on-campus, and even in secondary schools now, where lecturers/teachers have had to "help" students pass their exams; since one way or another they'll get some financial rewards to take care of financial needs that their insufficient and infrequent salaries can't handle. The FUNDAMENTAL development of any society, the GROWTH of any Nation depends HEAVILY on what the teachers have been able to inculcate into children & youth of that Nation. The Child Psychologist will inform you that by the time a child is 15 years, his/her mind has formed to an advanced stage. If by this time, proper training, guidance, moral values are not rightly and timely imbibed in that child, then woe to that nation. Teachers' welfare is an issue that SHOULD NOT be played with any longer! In essence, we have to always put the growing children & generation unborn into cognizance when casting our votes; we have to elect such a person that will put "our future" as a nation into perspective. For the past EIGHT odd years, we have seen what these crop of political looters have done to our beloved country, and have given NOTHING in return. It's time for a drastic SHIFT from bogus promises. Let's all VOTE for UTOMI. He's the CHANGE! |

This is interesting: I thot I shld post it here for us all to read & learn: http://thinknigeria.com/nigeria/how-can-we-as-nigerian-citizens-stop-rigging-t129.0.html;msg529#msg529 Read on: "The sure way of reducing (or totally eliminating) rigging is for every eligible voters to go out and perform their civic responsibility by casting their vote on election day, and to wait around a little while for the votes to be counted, and recorded in the official INEC form. "The little experience I gained in active politicking (I took part in Abacha transition uptill 1999), is that, you can only rig an election in the area you have your strongest support, or where you have a little edge over your opponent. Election is never rigged, and not possible to be rigged where you have little or no support. "For example, in 1999 AD rigged the election all over South West for Falae (I witnessed where many individuals are voting more than ten times each - because that is the strongest base of AD), while the election was rigged for Oasanjo in the North (which was the strongest base of those that wants Obasanjo)." Well, it sounds tough. We really have a lot to do! God Help us! |

monwuba:@monwuba: I get your drift, but I dont think the goons will get away with something like that so easily this time around. Hope u know how MEND (Niger-Delta) is scaring them shitless. Probably something "larger" might surface if such stunts is tried. I believe Nigerians have gone past that point of being blackmailed by a few political hoodlums. |

I'm OVERWHELMED by the sincere and strong support this generation has for President UTOMI And to make sure these SPLENDID posts/comments in this forum do not unnoticed, how can these informations & contributions be brought to the attention of the The Utomi for President Campaign team? I think it's URGENT! Bcx I've not seen much of his/their/the effectx around. Cheers. "President" Pat UTOMI, come May 2007. Tony. |

Many people of our generation have come to realize that OLDER politicians can only serve as ADVISORY COUNCIL as Elder Statesmen and will be much more respected that way. They have "tasted" power one way or another. It is THAT TIME to have a change; to have a shift of expectations. Let's VOTE IN a person that, for once has the GENUINE, HEART-FELT support of the people. Someone that feels the people have decided to ELECT him on the basis that the people believe he has something to offer. We have long gone past the time when politicians promise to "Mine WATER in the Deserts", "fire" Nigeria through NEPA, just to "confuse" the people to part with their vote. The Question now is: For those who don't feel that 'President' PAT UTOMI is the man for May 29, 2007; Can they sincerely search their conscience and look themselves in the EYE and can convince themselves that any of other candidates can and will truly deliver any of their promises? We all have to answer this same soul-searching question: "Can the person I have chosen as my presidential candidate TRULY and POSITIVELY make a change for the better in NIGERIA?" The Change is HERE! |

ubamu2029:Well, what can I say! Someone indeed has a great passion again Utomi! Paid? who? where? I guess it's about time we quit the pay-for-vote method of Election. Thus far, all the people who paid to get voted only paid themselves back by looting our country. [center]-----------------------------[/center] We so much want to copy the certain foreign countries in many things, why can't we emulate them and for once, even if this once, to elect an individual that has integrity. There's no way u can expect something good to come out corrupt politicians. NEVER!. We will only get promises, but we might end up with another 8 years of nonsense rule. Fellow Nigerians, for once, let us show allow our heads to decide for us, not our pockets. I still strongly BELIEVE that UTOMI can get this job done. NIGERIA, by beloved country, really needs a change! A Paradigm change! |

I dubbed these from a pal (NiceUzor) Enjoy them: 1. Where there is great love, there are always miracles 2. The love of one's country Is a splendid thing. But why should love Stop at the border? 3. The beginning of love Is to let those we love Be perfectly themselves, And not to twist them To fit our own image. Otherwise we love Only the reflection Of ourselves we find in them. 4. To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next BEST. (c) NiceUzor |

| Politics › Re: The new History Lectures of Naija . . . by Tonyblu(op): 10:29am On Feb 06, 2007 |
History Class of Present Naija: When I was taught Social Studies & History at Primary & Secondary school levels respectively, I often admired "OUR HEROES PAST. . ." Let's picture this: In the near future, our children are going to be taught very strange things in the Social Studies and History Classes about the 1999 - 2007 era. VIZ: - The guvnor that dressed as a WOMAN to escape the British police. - The Godfather that SELECTED & RIGGED his candidate into office and later got booted from the Govt House. - Public officers and politicans who loot money and dump in foreign countries. - A police Inspector-General who looted so much funds BUT was jailed for less than 6 months. - The police service that gets paid the lowest wages in the system. - The House of Assembly members that meet in hidden Hotels outside their states to impeach guvnors, at past midnite. - The Judicial system that encouraged MID-NITE Impeachments. - The Legislators, who threw chairs, punches, etc during sessions. - The Legislators, who voted millions of money for housing, car-loans, etc. - The President and Vice-President who throw "yabs" like children struggling for mango. - The Senator and his boss (pres) who cunningly and quietly supported 3rd term. - Guvnors who do virtually nothings in their states (except for Looting) BOLDLY come out to campaign for Presidency without any conscience or shame. - The Power sector that perpetually "HOLDs" Power in black out. - NNPC/Refinery: A country so blessed with Crude Oil, imports finished products and cannot set up functional refineries. - Groundnut, Cocoa, Coffee, Kola, Palm-oil, Cotton; etc that used to provide for us; and which still sustains many nations are long forgotten. - The Fire service that either has no vehicle, no fuel, or NO WATER! - The rail system that is rusty. - The Road networks that are death-traps. - The Highways that are single-laned. - The Works & Housing Minister who dissolved millions of Naira without fixing the roads. - The Terror of Bus drivers in Lagos and on the roads. - The menace of Bikes/Okada in Naija. - The Airline system that is "scary", turbulent and hopping. - Airline operators that use "tokunboh" parts to repair Aircrafts. - An Education system that is comatose. - A university graduate that cannot compose a "neat" sentence; nor defend his/her degree. - A university system where students use money (& other "things"  to settle for scores, grades, etc.- Overflowing prisons, whc most politicians failed to renovate, bcx many may end up as in-mates SOON. - The LIST is endless . . . This year, Nigerians are going to RE-WRITE the History of Nigeria. We WILL NOT allow LOOTERS to RIG themselves into Leadership seats! We have to use our Conscience as VOTING NIGERIANS who have realized that MOST PRESENT-DAY POLITICIANS are only willing to get "SELECTED or ELECTED" at all cost so as to FILL THEIR pockets and do nothing for OUR BELOVED COUNTRY - NAIJA! And if I may ask: Have u registered as a VOTER?! We need your VOTE because it will count to make Naija (Nigeria) the place we want it to be! We can’t tolerate any more political hoodlums/looters on seat. There is a VOTER's registration point next to your house. Get Registered Today! We have to leave a LEGACY for our children, for the future! I BELIEVE IN the NIGERIA-PROJECT! DO YOU ? ? ? |

otokx:You may be right, the Govt should play the major role. But what do u do when d govt of the day perpetuate/condone d same rigging shamelessly? I was SHOCKED when Audu Ogbeh, a former PDP chieftain, openly said as much in one of Atiku's campaign recently. He challenged the people (at Kano, I think), to be very watchful of the ballot boxes and to "deal with/neutralize" anybody that tried to tamper with the boxes. He was once the party Chairman of d same PDP, the ruling party; so he must have had "practical" expositions with rigging (?) I think it's about time the people: him, her, I, us, we, me & you, (not they, them, etc,) come to realize that it's our duty to protect our future, our democracy, etc. If for nothing else, for the sake of our children. For the sake of History. |

My other question is: Have we Nigerian woken up to the manipulations and tricks of these people? Have we sat down and asked ourselves what these people have got to offer? Does the Next man on the street know that "the Government" is actually HIS; that he has a RIGHT to SAY who shld be at the leadership, or who shouldn't. YES, it's called EMPOWERMENT! Casting BLAMES HAS never been a solution to any problem. For now, the Media may provide a seemingly temporary solution; by playing their objective role, like it's being done in other places; by being the MOUTH-PIECE of the people. The Media can empower the people with accurate, factual reasons that they have the POWER over these politicians and not the other way around. Information, nay, PROPERLY PACKAGED PEOPLE ORIENTED INFORMATION is key for this empowerment! |

Afam:How do we get such an independent body on ground? Are there any such establishments already on ground in Naija? The Govt of d day will definitely fight such a set-up! The Officers at the polling booths will have to release the Polls figures immediately they are counted/computed. And INEC will have to allow for CREDIBLE Independent Observers to pick the figures. Has this idea/suggestion been made PUBLIC or discussed with any of the other political parties as possible way of ensuring Rig-free April 2007 polls? What is the current legislation on issues of this nature? Every VOTER has to be observant and vigilant to "protect" the Ballot-box. What of places where thugs come and cart away d Ballot boxes? And reported cases where the police aided money exchange at polling centres? Aren't all these methods of rigging? I spotted this while posting this reply: http://www.inecnigeria.org/newsview.php?newsid=224 It can be done. [/color] |

Hi Afam, Thanks for the insight. I believe that we can solve the issues going on with our beloved Nigeria; and just like u noted, we hav to be PROACTIVE. Believe me, we cannot continue allowing ourselves to be held HOSTAGE by a few individuals who believe they alone have the monopoly of being at the State House. I guess it's really upto us all. On the issue of exposing RIGGING, what can be done to checkmate their activities? Is INEC reliable? The aspects u highlited, how can they be practicalized? |
