President Yar'adua whose legacies the 10 years of APC misrule couldn't match spent only two years in office

Just shut up and stop constituting nuisance in this thread.
This thread is supposed to be a rallying point for reflections on how we should not allow this country to go down the terrible past again. Like I said , shut up.

helinues:
Please I am not asking you ejo wewe. I asked you a straight question

I still never believed Nigeria have a President yet. I know what we have in Aso Rock is an impostor we did not vote for.

Any politician that campaigns with this indigenship crap will not have my vote.
All Nigerians need is a working country and enabling environment to survive that's all.

Make friends with who? Nigerians abi Americans? If its Nigerians then you don't mean well for Op.
This place right now is a jungle, everybody is a potential predator.
Unfortunately op doesn't have money, I would have told him what to do.

Kudducini:
I feel your pain and I understand the struggles, you're not In this alone. As am typing this my father is down with colon cancer and I cant even help, I could barely feed myself.

But you can do better except you're an introvert like me you should make friends easily go out and make friends,I wish i knew this earlier.

In addition I see you're diabetic, I have seen people share testimonies of reversed diabetes esp if its Type 1 like yours.

Good luck bro

The amendment did not affect Jonathan. Let me give you a simple example, assuming today is Friday, if the constitution says that anybody that steals chicken will spend 3 days in prison and they sign a bill into law today that anybody that steals chicken will serve one year in prison and it happened that I stole chicken on Thursday but is on trial, the new law will not affect me because I already committed the crime before the new law was passed, therefore I will be judged with the existing law as at the time I stole the chicken. Guess you understand now?

OfoIgbo:
If gej runs, Tinubu will exploit this constitutional point.
Tinubu controls the judiciary, so it will be a huge mistake for PDP to adopt GEJ

Yes,
we are desperate to end hunger
We are desperate to end poverty
We are desperate to retire corrupt politicians
We are desperate to end the looting and stealing
We are desperate to end the killings going on all over the country
We are desperate to take back the power corrupt politicians hijacked from us the people of Nigeria
We are desperate to secure the future of our children born and unborn
We are desperate to see Nigeria work.
If that is what desperate means to you, yes , I am proudly desperate.

Peterobiisathie:
These people are very desperate

It is the duty of the President to initiate reforms including electoral reforms.

helinues:
I asked you a direct question. Is it the duty of the presidency to discuss the reformation of INEC?

Which parliament? Nigeria doesn't have a parliament currently. If AA party win presidency today, more than half of the house reps members and Senate will defect. What I'm saying is getting the parliament to sponsor an executive bill is the easiest any Presidency can do with the current Nigerian parliament structure.

omenka:
Are you going to reform electoral law alone or with the parliament? Isn't the parliament replete with those "old corrupt politicians" and their Stooges?

You guys don't even seem to understand anything about democracy and how it works.

Yes, the Presidency sponsors special executive bills which are signed into law .
A recent example is the Petroleum Industry Bills (PIB) and Tax reform bills

helinues:
Is the reformation of INEc the duty of the president?

Reform INEC, hand power over to the people conduct election where the peoples vote count thats all.
Retiring corrupt politicians is simple,let the votes count first and see what will happen.

Baggiojephlini:
Jerry John Rawlings ruled Ghana for a total of 19 years, across two different regimes:

1. First Military Rule (1979) –
He first came to power as a military leader after a coup on June 4, 1979, but handed over to a civilian government on September 24, 1979 (about 3.5 months).


2. Second Military Rule (1981–1992) –
He staged another coup on December 31, 1981, and ruled as a military head of state until January 7, 1993 (11 years).


3. Democratic Rule (1993–2001) –
Rawlings was elected as a civilian president and served two terms, from January 7, 1993, to January 7, 2001 (8 years).



Total Time in Power:

3.5 months (1979) + 11 years (1981–1993) + 8 years (1993–2001) = approx. 19 years in total.

Reform INEC/electoral laws and watch agbado thugs rendered jobless instantly.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Do you equate Nigeria with a village ?

Go tell that to the marines.

Any President that is able to reform INEC by signing into law a bill removing the power of the President to solely pick and appoint INEC chairman and making electronic transmission of any single vote cast in real time compulsory under the constitution have automatically retired all political criminal structures and politicians without firing a single shot.
Politicians build this structure for only one reason, to manipulate elections.
If power is handed over to the people, elected officials will work hard to impress the people, knowing fully well that any single vote counts.
Corruption will just die a natural death .
This can be achieved in less than six months as a President.

By merely reforming INEC and electoral laws, via making automatic electronic transmission of any single vote cast compulsory under the constitution, 90% of the criminal structures will be dismantled and corrupt politicians retired.
FYI, politicians build structures for one reason, to manipulate electoral outcomes.

omenka:
Retiring old corrupt politicians how? By denying them their right to participate in politics or what? Do you people even listen to yourselves talk? Is it democracy or dictatorship you guys are talking about?

Nope, a President that wants to work will simply dismantle the structures holding the country down, retire old corrupt politicians and then install his successor that will carry on with his agenda. Four years is more than enough to achieve it, Jerry Rawlings did it in Ghana remember

seunmsg:
Beyond the politics, what exactly can any president achieve in four years ? A president gets sworn in on 29th May of the election, he has to set up his government and he’s going to struggle with this for another 3-6 months. Even at that, he inherits a budget he knows absolutely nothing about from the former president and by law, he has to implement it.

Then there are various governors, senators, Reps and powerful political figures with diverse interests to deal with. By the end of the second year, political coalitions start springing up and politics has to take the center stage again. Boom, it’s four years and nothing much has changed.

It took Lee Kuan Yew 31 years to set Singapore on the path of sustained economic development. Paul Kagame has been president of Rwanda for the past 25 years and he’s still president because Rwanda is still not there yet.

So, anyone telling you all he needs to perform magic and turn a big, economically challenged, infrastructurally decayed, ethnically disunited and religiously divided Nigeria to Dubai in four years is a liar. It is the height of political desperation. It’s even more funny because this same guy had 8 years to turn a small, ethnically and religiously homogeneous Anambra around but left the state worse than he met it.

Is opay a small business? Do you even know what small business is ?

Watcharena:
imagine they banned opay today.

How many Nigerians have money bridge the gap in these businesses

Because only an Igbo man have the gut to invest trillions of naira worth of business outside his region with his personal money not govt backed.
I'm not Igbo but saying the truth

Nefort:
Why not attract investors from all over the country and beyond? What the hell is "Igbo investors"? I am sure an Igbo man created this topic. Igbos like to feel too important.

I understand you and the person you quoted belong to the same agbadorian camp and just pulling a trick on us. In military, we call it smokescreen attack but involving Obi with your propaganda will backfire explosively, that I assure you.

AMINDA:
Atiku will not step down for anybody. You can go do your worst. You are scared of a party primary but you want to defeat Tinubu at the polls? Did you sign any pact with Atiku or the ADC on power rotation? Were they no Southern candidates on the ballot in 2015 and 2019? Wike was ready to become Atiku's Vice in 2023 despite 8 years of Buhari until he lost out. Don't confuse a political party's internal arrangements with another's. Wike has asked Abure to free the LP for Obi, he's welcome to contest under their banner.

Like I said, Obio/Akpor LGA alone is worth more than $2.5Bn if Nigeria is working.
The Trans Amadi Industrial estate alone full of Multi-national oil and Engineering companies back in the days generates more employment than Nigeria is currently generating today.
I know you haven't stepped out of your hut before. Life does not start and stop in Osogbo. Travel out and see.

helinues:
Attached below is Saint Lucia's GDP

The problem with some of you in the opposition is you will argue confidently on things you don't know Jack about.

The good thing is you guys have been casted with your lies and fabrication of things, Nigerians are waiting for you lots in 2027

PDP even tried by still existing years after losing power. APC will cease to exist 6mths after losing power

CooldipoMPS:
Tables do turn true true.....tueh for the biggest party in Africa

Small Saint Lucia whose GDP shouldn't be a match to Obio/Akpor L.G.A GDP if Nigeria is really working is now putting mouth in Nigeria's internal politics. See finish. I don't blame them, Tinubu na you do this one.

The only thing I know about politics right now is that even if Obi enter BOOT party today, I and 10 million other Obidients will switch allegiance to BOOT party . Sorry but that's the reality.

otherway:
Another sentimental human being.

So they should give Obi automatic ticket abi. Biko face front if you know nothing about politics.

Atiku belongs to the old order, he should stand aside and support Obi. Atiku should play the role of elder statesman. History will always be fair to him.
As for Soludo, he can't lace the shoe of PO in leadership. Obi paid the price and stabilized Anambra state, that's why Soludo is even able to govern on a platform built by Obi himself.
You genz guys don't understand the stat of things in Anambra before Obi. I'm talking of a state where a sitting Governor was kidnapped right inside government house. A very tough state full of billionaires and cabals.

Zocalite:
You are talking about 2002 & 2010, this is 2025, is someone like soludo not doing well

Why don't you want him to become president?

I can tell you that your obcession mixed with tribalism is your fuel

As it stands today the enemy is apc & tinubu, they have to go by 2027, if you don't understand that, the self destruct of 2023 will happen again.

Atiku & obi must team up

I was on ground in between 2002 when Obi predecessor Mbadinuju was in office and 2010 when Obi ruled Anambra not just as a private citizen but a barrack boy. Na we know wetin dey on ground bro. Obi is the best suited to solve our current issues. I was among the persons as at 2019 that was attacking Obi for vying for Atiku VP instead of contesting.
Obi hold the cards to solving our current problems.

Zocalite:
That is what people said about buhari

They said even of he presents NEPA bill as certificate they will vote for him

What's the fundamental reason you will vote for obi not just follow follow

If tinubu had done well people would have forgotten about obi

Obi won Rivers and Benue squarely and his vote was suppressed heavily in Lagos.
I don't want to talk about what happened in the North.
If I were you I will just respect myself and stop arguing blindly. Even bulaba inner circle knows all this that's why they are attacking Obi they claimed came third instead of Atiku.

walefresh3:
liar will go to hell...

Obi won in his dream...No evidence.....the same structure of criminality made him a governor...He is also a criminal for accepting ...verdict that made him a governor under same criminality structure...una dey tell lies..

Even if Obi join birthday party, me and my family will follow him like MTN, everywhere you go.

LagosOrigin:
Anything that Peter Obi agrees on is what we will agree and support him with all our body and soul because a better Nigeria is POssible under his Excellency Mr Peter Obi.

Nope, it's not the same. PDP hold the cards in the Senate in 2015. While APC was running around looking for how to solve the problem, Saraki quickly struck a deal with PDP and the rest is history.

CTAYLOR:
Wike wasn't the first to do it.
Ike ekweremadu did it, being deputy senate president under APC senate president. He was neither here no there until his setup fully matured and Elizabeth people took him to prison...

Broooooooo
You nailed it

Bsssss:
Immediately when I realized I can't ask a lady out if I don't have money.

Dont mind this miscreants commenting up there. They don't know that their bulaba master is indirectly learning leadership from PO criticism. Evidence in sudden change of policies abound.

Elusive001:
When Peter Obi talks, Tinubu listens and takes notes.

Sometimes I feel like deleting my acct and leaving this forum, then comes that rare brilliant comment that keeps reminding me there are still folks with their head intact in this forum.
Kudos bro
