We are in trouble in this country... Even hear president's response - did he make any sense?

We told Ribadu, you can't work with bad leaders to make them good - the right thing to do is join hands to chase bad leaders far away from power. Working with them is not an option.

nex: I do no like General Muhammadu Buhari simply for the first reason that he is, and will always be a dictator. The second reason being that he's ruled this nation as a despot in his youth, and is today, still grappling power with the youths. However, to fall for the PDP's ploy of painting Buhari as a sponsor of Boko Haram, that takes a special level of senility.

That letter explained, just like I've always said, that there is more than 1 Boko Haram:

1. Those fighting against Western Education being imposed on them, who were almost totally wiped out in 2009.
2. Those created by "disgruntled element who lost out in the PDP Presidential Primaries" (Atiku).
3. Those extremists you have been looking waiting for a movement to begin who a capitalizing on this opportunity that Atiku and his cohorts created.

Even the SSS has tried hard, but all their reports, and a couple of their arrests have pointed to the PDP. I'm sorry for anybody who believes this new ploy by the PDP, and I hope General Buhari, and also the Saudi government will wash their hands away from this most implicatory attempt to rope them into what they know not about.

It is most irresponsible for Reuben Abati to begin commending this extension of amnesty by Boko Haram to the Federal Government, when he has not given the intelligence agencies the time and space to confirm the authenticity of this representative as a member of Boko Haram, and also, identify which of the Boko Haram categories is being represented.

I disagree with you on a number of points raised above on Buhari but our thoughts align on the speed with which Fed gov accepted the purported offer from the faceless BH member - no need for scrutiny, no need for discussion with security and intelligent agents, etc. You begin to smell rat - were they waiting for the call and have therefore prepared their acceptance response? PDP is Boko Haram.

noblezone: I don't know how old you are, but I must tell you that you need proper education on the History of the unfortunate experiment of the Whiteman called Nigeria.

Buhari knew nothing about the coup? so the plotters plotted without a take over plan?
Leave the crappy media campaigns that was bent on selling Buhari to us. Yet even at that, Buhari as democrat would had resisted the coup rather than taking the lion share of the proceeds.
After all, people like Ojukwu first coup.

emm, did you say Ironsi plotted the first coup?
Aaaaahhh. You are obviously not reading your history books well. Ironsi emergence as the Head of State was as a result of a failed coup: a coup which was frustrated by loyal Igbo officers even though most of them were later killed in cold blood an orgy of revenge.

That apart, the military took us several years backwards. Buhari belongs to the gang of over zealous military officers who believed that the rest of us are all dumb.
From 1960 till date, the same group of people have sworn to make run our destinies.

No way Sir! This is a new order. We can't go back to yesterday. Buhari and co belongs to our dark history and for your information, despite all the gra gra, Nigeria is still trying to find her feet as a Nation.

It is a pity that Nigeria is not a Nation and cannot be a Nation especially with this kind of fraudulent structure as promoted by Buhari and co.

The sooner we sit down and discuss our "oneness", the better, else, I have no option than to pledge allegiance to Biafra.

Ezeogwu was Hausa? Nonsense...

caseless: Hmmm...i'm not suprised! Gej gov't is an example/illustration of a barber seat syndrome; so many motions but no movement. What do you expect of a leader(gej) like biblical moses who crossed the sea with no effort of his? Can this guy take this country anywhere? SMH!

Interesting...

taharqa: You are frankly looking pathetic now @Demdem; it is not cowardly to admit a mistake, it is actually a sign of Strength.

We have "strong LINKS as to those involved in this terror war on Nigeria and Nigerians" (which was what was actually QUOTED as the words of the President and what really matters) and even the newspaper's interpretation of that quote "strong evidence on the identity of those involved in the recurrent bomb attacks across the country" IS NOT THE SAME as "there is list of the sponsors of BH on the President's desk" (this was what you said).

There quoted statement of the President (the 1st statement) is an intelligent security-proof way of saying the govt was opening LINKS, though strong ones (and you obviously have no clue what this technical term mean in the Intelligence community) to those people INVOLVED in the violence (the words 'involved' is a smart way of been non-specific); NOW compare to your own interpretation of that same quote where you said there was a LIST (that is a word that connotes CERTAINTY which is completely different from the actual words used by the President 'links') and you also said that this 'list' contained the 'sponsors of BH' when the quote you were interpreting (or rather misinterpreting) used the term 'those people involved' (which could be mean BH terroists themselves, their sympthizers or their sponsors ie not specific- just as those people who understand security matters would do). Oh by the way, in another thread you added that this fathom 'list' of yours was on the desk of the president and that he was not doing anything about it cos he was BH himself. Can you see the train of thought and why you had to distort and misinterpret that quote to make your dubious point. This is what a propagandist (or one who engage in propaganda) does; and you were obviously not very smart about it .

To think that you have been been using this as argument many times about GEJ been part of BH cos he has their 'list' says a lot.

Again, it is easier to wake up a man who is asleep than a man who is pretending to be asleep. So, Demdem, dont waste your time on this slowpoke - he knows what is doing and of course the truth. The president said he has strong evidence on the IDENTITY of the people behind the attacks - it should follow then that the government now knows the people behind the attacks. Does it make any sense for the president of a country to announce to the whole world he now knows the identity of the people bombing the country without actually pinning the identity down to individuals and groups?

Anyway, my concern is not the PDP but the current attempt to bring the name of Buhari into this political experiment of PDP - it will fail and only those from Amadioha kingdom will belief this.

tommywise: CPC, U GUYS CAN NOT DECEIVE US. RUBBISH. LET D SO CALL BUHARI COME OUT AND SPEAK. HE BUHARI TOLD THIS COUNTRY THAT HE WILL MAKE THIS COUNTRY UNGOVERNABLE......HE CAN NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THIS COUNTRY EVEN IF I SLEEP.RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another vacuous statement from the shrine of Amadioha... Only in Amadioha world you hear this kind of statement even when all those arrested so far have only named PDP chieftains as their sponsors. The key guys arrested were also found hiding in PDP chieftains houses.

Let see the logic Amadioha is making here.

talk2me006: where are u when he advices fg to empower police against bh.

He was away in the village... was there for a long time...

[b][/b]

taharqa: Let me just advice you my frnd: am not like those persons you can make silly claims for and go scot free, k? If you try to distort anything, you will be crushd... Read that comment again and see in which context i said SOME northern elites were 'supporting' d insurgency (i also made an extensive comment on pg4 where i contrastd dis crisis and dat of d ND and the rxtn of d elites of both regions)...... By d way, only 3 names hv been definitely linkd as suspects to BH- Sheriff, Ndume and Zanna. The 1st was a 2 -time ANPP gov who is d current chairman of their board of trustees, while the oda 2 are PDP membas who were in ANPP as at last yr. The 3 of dem are from Borno and are northern politicians; you do the maths

Can you please go back to that post and remove that threat?

"am not like those persons you can make silly claims for and go scot free, k? If you try to distort anything, you will be crushd..."

Mo Ibrahim Governance Report On Jonathan’s Nigeria

A fortnight ago, the Mo Ibrahim Foundation released its governance report for 2012. The foundation was established by Dr Mohamed “MO” Ibrahim in 2006. Mo Ibrahim, who was born in Sudan but now settled in Britain, is the billionaire entrepreneur who founded the telecommunications giant Celtel. By the time he sold it in 2005 for $3.4 billion, Celte...l had over 24 million mobile phone subscribers in 14 African countries. In 2006, he established the Mo Ibrahim Foundation to encourage good governance in Africa. He also created the Mo Ibrahim Governance Index to evaluate African nations’ performance.

In 2007, he established the Mo Ibrahim Prize for Achievement in African Leadership which awards a $5 million initial payment and a $200,000 annual payment for life to African presidents who deliver security, health, education and economic development to their nations. In 2007, the prize was awarded to President Joaquim Chissano of Mozambique; in 2008 to President Festus Mogae of Botswana. No African president qualified for the award in 2009 and 2010. In 2011, it was won by President Pedro Pires of Cape Verde. No African president performed well enough to earn it this year. The Mo Ibrahim Foundation also publishes the Ibrahim Index of African Governance ranking the performance of all 53 African countries. This year, both Sudan and Southern Sudan were not evaluated for lack of sufficient data.

This year, the best performing country by the index is Mauritius. And the top best 10, apart from Mauritius, are Cape Verde, Botswana, Seychelles, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, Tunisia, Lesotho and Tanzania in that order. For the first time since this governance assessment started, Nigeria is graded among the worst 10 governed nations of Africa. This should hardly surprise us, except that we have not heard any abusive condemnations of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation from Jonathan’s verbose aides.

Nigeria shares this infamy of being among the worst 10 with Equitorial Guinea, one of the most corrupt countries in the world; Guinea Bissau, which is technically a failed state; Cote d’ Ivoire; Zimbabwe where Robert Mugabe still looms large; Central African Republic; Eritrea; Chad; Democratic Republic of Congo, another failed state perpetually at war; and, of course, Somalia, which has been taken over by thugs, terrorists and pirates. Jonathan’s Nigeria is clearly in good company.

Many of us have had cause to declare that, even by Nigeria’s very poor governance standards, the Jonathan government stands alone and apart. Our current problem is monumental corruption which robs vital sectors of funding, and also incompetence in governance. “Incompetence” and “clueless” are words that have been freely associated with the Nigerian president all over the world. Borno and Yobe states are the headquarters of Boko Haram operatives and Yobe, especially, is a completely failed state. The Yobe governor doesn’t even live in the state anymore.

The situation in Yobe is worse than the situation in Somalia. Yet, the president has not visited there – not even once. When asked recently, the president said the Maiduguri Airport was not functioning, but every Nigerian knew that was a presidential lie. I have never seen a commander-in-chief so afraid of felons like our president. Because Jonathan has refused to go there, it should not be any surprise that many people including Boko Haram chieftains now believe that the president has ceded those two states to Boko Haram, just like we have al-Shabaab-controlled areas of Somalia.

It is the type of corruption that allows as much as N2.6 trillion to be stolen from a single subhead in a single year that has deprived the nation of funds to tackle the insecurity in the country. As I have always averred on this page, security is the first and basic responsibility of every government. And if any government fails in this index, it will fail in all the other indices. It is also corruption that has prevented the country from making any meaningful progress in education, provision of healthcare services, development of infrastructure as well as all aspects of human and material development.

I hope that this year’s very damning Mo Ibrahim report on Nigeria would be very useful in serving as a wake-up call to President Jonathan to know that it’s not only Nigerians that are watching him. The world is also watching and the verdict on him so far is very, very bad.

EARSHOT

Between Oshiomhole And Amnesty International

Governor Adams Oshiomhole has come under criticism from Amnesty International because he granted a go-ahead for the execution of two persons sentenced to death for murder by the courts. Those who criticise the governor have not said that the convicts are not murderers. No, they are only against the death sentence as a policy.

I believe one of the problems of this country is that we have not been convicting and executing murderers enough in this country. Death sentences and executions are not punishment for the convicted. They are deterrents to those with murderous instincts who are still alive. And that is a very good and valid reason to continue with the death sentence as a policy. A major reason why there is so much anarchy and disorder in this country is that crimes are not punished. That is statecraft 101. And anyone who is ready to kill should also be ready to die. We only need to look around the world and compare those countries with strong rule of law which execute murderers with those who think they are “too civilised” to execute murderers and see which ones are more liveable. I advocate the death sentence not only for murderers but also for kidnappers and arms traffickers who are the facilitators of these crimes.

Until we start executing all those who kill either in the name of armed robbery, religion, kidnapping or terrorism, bad people would continue to kill innocent people just for the fun of it. Until there are grave consequences for murder, Nigeria will continue to be one of the most dangerous countries to live in. If the rule of law has been followed and the convicts have exhausted their appeals, Governor Oshiomhole should ensure that the death sentences are carried out as soon as possible.Like · · Share · Yesterday

Billyonaire: 1. Ayhatolla Alj. Muhammedu Ibn Buhari: Boko Haram gave Feds Condition that he must be their negotiator before a ceasefire. If not, they will continue killing catholics and other Christians!

If I were you, I will send Amadioha (your abandoned god) to him - who abandoned who? You abandoned or Amadioha abandoned you?

taharqa: This is you deliberately trying to select and distort info. 1st, you left out Sheriff and d fact that both Zanna and Ndume were ANPP membas till last yr (sheriff is still ANPP) cos you know it would damage yr narrative. There's no doubt that there are PDP membas who support BH activities, just as there are CPC, ANPP and odas nonpartisan individuals But they all have one thing in common- they are northerners who want Power. This support is mostly indirect by doing nothing to stop it, which in a case of insurgency is as good as supporting dem directly- all of which have now ran off their hands cos just like d Tuaregs in Mali was to undastad, core terroists do not share any purpose or power with oda people..... By d way, d President meant that there were BH sympathizers in all levels of govt (which shld be a no-brainer), not that they were BH membas in his govt as though he appointd them- you guys shld stop this propaganda on dis point cos it is disgusting and very unhelpful. Thank God u got d Azazi statement almost right (although he was talking about those ppl who lost to GEJ in d primaries been in support of d violence). Just a point of interest though, dat same Azazi was also said to hv advice GEJ to arrest Buhari b4 he left, am curious why u guys 'conveniently' forget that part

Again, it is easier to wake up a man who is truly asleep than a man who is pretending to be asleep - but I will say, stop deceiving yourself. Give me names of CPC members who have been named as supporters or sponsors of BH. Already we have names of PDP members who have been named in BH saga... Why do you people like deceiving yourself instead of facing the real problem confronting you? How do you hope to solve your problems when you have failed delibrately to appreciate and face the real cause?

thelastPope: You are not making sense. boko aram annouced Buhari's name, not PDP. Did you not read the news?

You are the one not making sense and not following the real issue here. Who are BHs? Are they not PDP? Tell me I am wrong... And also tell me those that have been arrested so far in connection with BH - are they CPC members? Ndume is a member of CPC... Kabiru Sokoto was found in CPC governor's lodge... the other senator keeping BH in his house is a member of ACN...

PDP is naming Buhari as the man they want as mediator in their Boko Haram world... and you are telling me this is not coming from government?

Ok - CPC has come out to tell you that Buhari will not be part of this. He has never been part of destruction and nobody can drag his name into this.

thelastPope: Boko Aram mentioned Buhari's name not PDP!

You are the one not making sense and not following the real issue here. Who are BHs? Are they not PDP? Tell me I am wrong... And also tell me those that have been arrested so far in connection with BH - are they CPC members? Ndume is a member of CPC...

Adeks: This is exactly what i'm saying. No one has since come out to say Buhari is their sponsor. I thought they just chose an elder statesman who they believe would be truthful to his words. #SoWhyAllTheFuss?

The same way the arrested Boko Haram members named Buhari as their sponsor? I also forgot that Kabiru Sokoto was found in Buhari's house and it was Buhari that asked the police to release the guy? Yes, Ndume is a member of CPC and he has a close tie with Buhari.

Am I making sense?

Man, PDP/Gov should tell us who the BH caller is - another PDP member? You can imagine the speed at which PDP gov announced the acceptance of the offer as if they were waiting for it. No need to even consult wuth security adviser... Interesting.

Adeks: @Wadeoye You seriously need to keep ur emotions in check. When has d statement i quoted led to something that'll make u hull insults @me? It seems u don't understand English language. But i'm nt in d mood to teach u, so i'll just assume you don't exist. U insulted somebody else of not knowing how to type in English, but please, when did we start spelling 'STRIKE' as 'STRICK'? Hypocrite!

Sorry my brother for the insult - when people lose objectivity in their reasoning and susbsequent actions, it makes other people lose their objectivity as well. Now tell me, what are your thoughts? I have removed "naive" from the question. And sorry for writing "strike instead of strick" but at least, you know what I wanted to write - it happens especially when you are busy processing the logic is some posts.

ganye1: 1. Buhari would never swear by Amadiora because he is a Muslim.
2. If the govt has anything that links Buhari and other it is the duty of the govt to arrest and prosecute them.
3. The govt and its apologist cannot shift the impotence and incompetence of the govt on others.
4. The govt itself knows that it cannot arrest and prosecute them when they are innocent. I dare the govt to arrest them if they have anything on them.

Good reasoning - I doubt if any Amadioha-controlled mind will understand this.

PEEE DEEE PEEE... See the speed at which they acdepted the offer just to make it look real.

Interesting... Even the security adviser wasnt consultted before accepting offer.

These guys will destroy this country...

Billyonaire: Buhari has been named by Boko Haram to be their negotiator. What a confirmation to earlier rumors. Buhari ? A presidential Candidate ? I guess someone's career just died.

Hi All, is any animal missing from any of the Nigerian zoos? We have one here. If you are looking for one, come with you ID and other documents to show you are the true owner of this animal.

size38: Pls, this is too diversionary and childish coming from CPC. Boko Haram wants the leader of their party to negotiate wit the govt on their behalf, and they are busy talking rubbish. This shows that Buhari has been behind Boko haram.

Amadioha will strike all BH sponsors...

saymax: Come to think of it if by chance or mistake, Buhari happens to b a sponsor of dis "serial-killers", with the numba of enemies he has made politically, by now he wud hav been hung n nailed to a tree. Let us b reasonable.

You statement make a lot of sense but again, it is easier to wake up a man who is asleep than an man who pretends to be asleep. Those guys(Buhari haters) are only deceiving themsleves - it is human nature. And Amadioha, been evil, will block their hears.

Billyonaire: BUHARI was named by Boko Haram as their negotiator, and Buhari camp start getting jittery already. Its an open secret that Boko haram are Buhari's loyalists so why blame PDP ? Buhari's political aspiration is now permanently dead and CPC is trying to salvage it. Nigerians cant be fooled.

Do you think at all? Or is the skull empty - no grey matter there?

How many of the people arrested so far in connection with BH has named Buhari or members of his party as sponsor?

FYsol: Rubbish. Didn't CPC know that boko haram intensify their fight because buhari lost? If they want him to mediate for them to stop this mayhem, I think they should accept rather than spending hours disregarding the request except if they are truly supporting the BH quietly.

Amadioha!!! Let Amadioha strick the people behind BH.

mike404: GENERAL AYATOLLAH MUHAMMADU BINLADIN BUHARI IS THE PROBLEM OF THIS COUNTRY.THE EARLIER WE ACCEPT THIS FACT THE BETTER FOR ALL OF US... GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Where is your village? How did you manage to get internet access? Wow! Interesting to know that electricity and internet connectivity has even treached villages in Nigeria - GEJ's transformation is on course.

elklehamite: What a foolish publicity secretary defending his master.They try to politicize delicate issues in this country for selfish reason.Rotimi is staying in Lagos speaking grammar to defend his political master who stays in Katsina/Kaduna even when he doesn't know his master private life.The question is, does his master consult him where he had any thing to do with the terrorist? Is Buhari the only opposition leader in this country? If Rotimi think PDP led government is setting up his master by his insinuations,Why not ACN OR ANPP or any other person? Or does Rotimi wants to tell us that is PDP led government that ask Boko Haram sect to name Buhari his master and others so mentioned? This is how the God of innocent slained christians/Nigerians will continue to expose them. The integrity/innocence of Saudi Arabian government and the people so mentioned is questionable.Just as the Police authority is beginning to put some perceived sponsors of Boko Haram under watch they now came up with list of people for negotiation because they realize the security agencies are getting close on them.The Almighty God will expose all of you for this heartless/barbaric killings of innocent Nigerians in Jesus Christ glorified name,A-M-E-N!

Why not use your local language to write instead of english? Must you use english? You can post your comment in Igbo language and I am sure someone will translate if there is anything reasonable (which I dont see) in the post.

Adeks: My thoughts exactly

What are your naive thoughts? Buhari to become a mediator in a crisis created by PDP? Your president said Boko Haram members are in his party and that he knows them. Tell me what GEJ has done about the BH members in his cabinet. Tell me what he has done to those he claimed to know. Tell me what this govenment has done about those arrested and those named as sponsors.

Buhari will not mediate in BK issue - it is purely a PDP affair and they should be courageous enough to stop the problem they started. Now, we hear of Igbo guys in the north trying to make money from BH crisis by disguising as BH and asking for ramsom from unsuspecting innocent Nigerians.

cheddarking: What is this man saying?

Such a verbose statement...

But no decipherable point made...

Is he saying Buhari is not going to mediate?

Yes, Buhari can't be a mediator in a crisis started by PDP - and he will not be. When you are ready to resolve Boko Haram problem, face PDP and their leaders including GEJ.

ossagy: Is the same development you are talking about. The picture show the highest level of development in the SW which is far far below standard of what is obtainable in the SE. I keep saying it, If yorubas where allowed to develop lagos (Awori land) it will still be like Ibadam of today..junky

Stop disgracing yourself. Can't you see the roads there (Ibadan) are in good condition? We are not talking about houses - we are talking about roads and surrounding. It is not government's responsibility to rebuilt ancient houses.

By this picture, you are proving further that SE is in serious mess.

Give an Igbo man the chance to be president, Nigeria will become Dubai within a year.

The same way they turned Aba to small London - can't you see the picture above? Igbos are wonderful creatures...

Pennywise: Allison-Madueke is a front for Jonathan and his wife. It is clearly evident

I have all the intelligence as well... But Patience seems not to be happy that AM is in charge of this.
