and i hope MBAISE would be made state

The president of the United States, Barack
Obama, on Monday March 23, sent a special
message to Nigerians regarding the upcoming
elections, urging that the voting exercise be
carried out peacefully.
Here are five quotes from Obama’s message
that members of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) are very uncomfortable with:


1. “Nigeria is a great nation and you can be
proud of the progress you’ve made.”


Obama acknowledges that Nigeria has made
tremendous progress that we can be proud of.
Listening to the APC’s message you would think
that Nigeria is not working, and Obama rightly
points out that we have made progress under
the present Jonathan administration.
Who would want uncertain change over the
chance to keep progressing?


2. “Together, you won your independence,
emerged from military rule, and strengthened
democratic institutions.”


Read the quote again. Obama says there is no
going back to military rule. Do we want to go
back to being bound by the shackles of
dictatorship? Buhari says he is a “reformed
democrat” but as we all know a leopard doesn’t
change its spots.


3. “You’ve worked hard to improve the lives of
your families and to build the largest economy in
Africa.”


Contrary to all the lies that the APC has been
trying to sell, our economy is progressing, and it
did not become the largest economy in Africa by
chance but by the good policies of the Jonathan
administration. Obama states this fact whilst
acknowledging that the lives of Nigerians have
improved, and thereby showing the APC to be
liars.


4. “Violence has no place in democratic
elections — and that they will not incite, support
or engage in any kind of violence — before,
during, or after the votes are counted.”


When violence is mentioned, Nigerians cannot
extricate General Buhari from his famous
statement before the 2011 elections and his
famous silence after his supporters went wild.
The Blood of Dog and Baboon statement recently
made concerning the 2015 elections still echoes
deeply. The APC is threatening a parallel
government also… Obama’s speech is a clear
warning against that.


5. “Boko Haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all
that you have worked to build. By casting your
ballot, you can help secure your nation’s
progress.”


Secure your nation’s progress. Don’t change
your fortunes.
Obama’s call on Nigeria to secure our progress
is like a call to retain President Jonathan under
whose presidency this progress has been
achieved. As it is ill advised to change a
commander-in-chief during war, Nigerians must
fight together and eliminate Boko Haram with the
armed forces who are presently winning the war
and sustain this momentum.
Obama also said: ”in this task of advancing the
security, prosperity, and human rights of all
Nigerians, you will continue to have a friend and
partner in the United States of America.”
Lest we forget, Nigerians are still much aware of
the flagrant violation of human rights under
General Buhari, resulting in a rupture in
diplomatic relations with the UK and others.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS GEJ ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

that one na must nah

As the presidential elections in Nigeria are
approaching, let us remind you what the PDP
presidential candidate, Goodluck Jonathan, has
promised to fulfill if elected.
President Jonathan is not the only one who
made promises to Nigerians. Other candidates,
especially the APC candidate, Muhammadu
Buhari, held rallies to assure Nigerians that they
deserve this position.
Below are the
GEJ’s proclamations that were mostly
announced during the presidential public debate
organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group
(NEDG) on March 22.

1. TO REBUILD THE NORTH EASTERN REGIONS

During the debates, Jonathan stated that apart
from the normal budgetary provision of funds to
reconstruct the areas affected by the
insurgency, the government has set up the
Presidential Initiative for the northeast and the
safe School Initiatives in order to ameliorate the
sufferings of the people of the area.
Moreover, after the recent visit to the north-
east, the president took to his Facebook page to
say that the region is experiencing “greater
levels of security”. “Yesterday (March 19), I
visited Yobe and Borno states. Though there
remains some challenges, I am gratified that my
people in both states are experiencing greater
levels of security due to the efforts of our gallant
military. May God bless Nigeria,” he said.

2. TO PROVIDE JOBS

During his Kwara Campaign Rally, President
Goodluck Jonathan he promised to provide jobs
for Nigerians if elected through the agricultural
sector. The president also said he would provide
an avenue for wealth creation, and added that
young graduates would benefit from his
administration’s initiatives.

3. TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ELECTRICITY

In February, Jonathan commissioned the 750
Megawatt Olorunsogo Phase 2 Power Plant in
Ogun state. According to him, “this project of the
National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) will
provide additional electricity to power the
ongoing Transformation of Nigeria from the
largest economy in Africa to a top 20 global
economy”.
“It is the goal of this administration to ensure
that we work with all Nigerians to provide the
infrastructure our nation needs to fulfill her
remarkably great potential,” he added.

4. TO PREVENT CORRUPTION

Speaking at the INEC’s debate, the president
said that he wants not only to enforce the
existing laws but also to prevent any
corruption from the beginning. Acknowledging
that corruption remains one of the major
problems in Nigeria, he emphasised that
enforcement of existing laws on corruption only
was not enough to check the trend.
“People think that enforcement is the only way
to check it. Enforcement alone does not work.
Armed robbers have been caught and killed but
this has not stopped armed robbery in the
country. Prevention is better. We will ensure that
nobody has access to steal funds. We will
strengthen the institutions so that they can fight
corruption,” he said.


5. TO FIGHT OIL THEFT

During the debate, Jonathan also disclosed that
his government was working on a development
of a technology that would check the stealing of
crude oil.
Moreover, the president at the commissioning of
four navy ships in Lagos on 19th February said
that “these ships will help to protect the
economic interest of Nigeria by fighting oil theft
as well as provide security for maritime
activities within the continental shelf”.

6. TO FUND THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR

President Jonathan also promised that his
government will continue to fund education in
order to ensure that Nigerian graduates and
scientists compete well with their counterparts
in other parts of the world.
Moreover, he said that Nigerian universities will
rank among the best in the world in the next four
years, as a result of the ongoing transformation
of the education system. According to him,
Nigerian universities had already been equipped
to compete with their foreign counterparts.
“We all feel bad that no Nigerian university was
ranked but we are working seriously to change
the trend. We have equipped most of our
universities through the Tertiary Education Trust
Fund (TETFund). We are talking about
infrastructure that has failed over the years but
with the way we are going, in the next four years
our universities will compete with other
universities across the world,” he said.

7. TO HOLD ELECTIONS AS SCHEDULED

The president promised that this year’s general
elections will start on Saturday, March 28, as
scheduled by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), and the governorship,
National and state Assembly elections would as
well be held on Saturday, April 11, as scheduled.

calmbabadee:
@op, I am sorry. you really scratched a raw nerve. I retract my earlier statement.

try an just imagine the agony the relative of the kidnapped girls are going through. My take is that God should just help in the recovery of these girls.

No offence meant.

Cheers!

no probs

medamillion:
I don't sound like a GMBite, I sound like a lover of our great nation Nigeria.

On the other hand, #ihavedecided to see a better Nigeria through GMB/PYO

good for you guyz

cocoduck:
Not even an ant was kidnapped IN cHIBOK that picture you see there is not at all different from what you see when you watch Mr Ibu and osuofia home videos, that girl that spoke does not look like she is traumatized, she is just playing a script and she is not even doing it well. so go to hell with your story, if i were GEJ I will not even utter a word to you people. Just because a South South man is president you want to bomb your fvcking smelly selves into oblivion, go ahead and die you mofos. after ruling for a whopping 40years out of 5o you greedily want you and your willing tools to rule, I careless what happens or waht Nigeria becomes but you mofos should live and let live not die.

lol,oga abeg no too much para for dem

calmbabadee:
I PRAY @OP FINDS HIS FAMILY MEMBER IN SUCH A DILEMMA IN THE NEAREST FUTURE.

ISOKAY

only if i deserve it

hazyfm:
THAT'S BECAUSE U ARE A SEMI ILLITERATE

CORRECT: NO CHIBOK GIRL WAS KIDNAPPED

BLUNDER: NO CHIBOK GIRLS WAS KIDNAPPED

i sight you WOLE SOYINKA,But correcting me in such a manner makes you a bigger ILLITERATE

medamillion:
It's not really a game, why must it be a game? Is this a game of death? Thousands of people internally displaced in the North, countless number of Northerners dead...nobody has been brought to book as regards this brutality.

Has the president been playing games with those lives for over 5years, until few weeks to election?

We don't need someone whose citizen's would play game on, and we don't want someone playing games with the life of the Citizens.

its true though,you sound like a GMBite

wat kinda dull username is the OP bearing? hairyanus?...lwkmd

medamillion:
@OP, you are making the same mistake GEJ made at intial stage of this terrible event, by terming it "propaganda".

The issue on ground is not wheather their kidnap is propaganda or not. But the softhandedness of the president and his insesitivity to the issue when it first happened should be questioned.

Report has it that there was fierce battle between the millitary and Boko Haram sect for about three hours before they were finally able to whisk the girls away at gunpoint.

According to OBJ:

"The former president revealed that it took President Goodluck Jonathan 18 days to contact the governor of Borno state after the abduction.
It will be recalled that the abduction of the over 200 young girls caused a widespread international protest and demand for the girls to be brought back home".
http://toocoded.com/forum/Chibok-Girls---Obasanjo-Blasts--Federal--Government,-Says--Response-Time-To-Kidnap-Was-Slow_166.html

The chibok girls was kidnapped, we all saw the Bokoharm sect with the girls in their camp.
This is politics, it is the political responsibilty of the opposition, to use the failure of the current government to campaign and tell the electorates that they can solve the problem.

Please is this place Aso Rock?

You ve got a nice opinion too,but fear the country you are in,they are good in playing games

hardywaltz:
Why do I have this feeling that it's the same Op using different monikers to praise him/herself.
Didn't even bother reading ur rubbish coz some many senior military officers' are currently in prison or facing execution over the Chibok issue so I don't need an opinion of someone sitting in Lagos to tell us why he/she thinks it's a scam or be more knowledgeable than our Military.

you just gave your own opinion,So allow mine to be....I'm not good in exchanging words with pple

KwoiZabo:
I will upload a photo of where Tinubu was holding a BBOG poster and smiling. and I will do my analysis.

Here is my analysis. From the pictures below it is obvious that Tinubu is rejoicing over the demise of some innocent school girls. In a sane society, people like this will be hiding their face in shame. its quite unfortunate.

dats it bro,When will holding cartons n papers labelled BRING BACK OUR GIRLS bring back the girls if its actually true,such a miserable country

Pelmet:
Hmmm...Op you've really done Some thinking, I remember saying this same thing but I was lashed at so I kept mute. Truth is no one knows for sure but I feel these things are carefully orchestrated by propaganda masterminds not to mention our weak government that govern based on speculation. I've said it before and I will again...if some escaped, why can't the government get information from them? Jez my opinion or maybe I watch a lot o' movies

That's right ma,i thought i was the only one doubting this

KwoiZabo:
I will upload a photo of where Tinubu was holding a BBOG poster and smiling. and I will do my analysis.

ok ,we are waiting

asadike:
Hmmm, interesting.

absolutely

senatorucheo:
Guy you are a genius.... Well done

Oklander:
Are you privy to more intelligence than the fg or is this just Weed?... smh

lol,not really....but remember its my opinion not yours
