Mynd44 I believe your observations and arguments are clearly answered here now....I am sure, you have cleared you bias about body language or whatever in this scenario...Buhari had no input and it is 100% Jonathan...
SarahBabyxx: Lmao @ overbleached your punches are getting weaker :p so try harder
By the way its very hypocritical of you to accuse of all the gibberish above.....is it not the same you that called Berem a daughter of a 'village poacher',the same you that called her a 'whor'e'.....or the same you that whoever doesn't share the same views with you a 'terrorist' or is one of those 'IDP's' or an 'ibadan tout' (BTW I'm literally laughing my ass of at how foolish you seem with those insults: )......I saw you and that same thread doing exactly what you're yapping about
Dude bottomline is no one gives a Bleep about you and your tantrums....well I certainly don't
Truth is they aren't weak...and you aren't laughing... Be sincere to yourself...I feel bad doing this to you...I love you babe...Sorry for the insults...Don't just be playing dirty or encouraging dirty jokes...It irritates me...
On berem...ALL I told her about herself are facts...Ask her...I don't like getting personal but I can't avoid it when I notice people blackmailing others unjustly...
1)[b]Jonathan/NNPC ditched foreign company(Saipem) recommended to them by the original manufacturers because of COST...
2)In all they saved the country over $1billion(verifiable fact) by choosing local engineers...Remember, its same Jonathan that implemented local content policy that saw the local engineers display their expertise and ingenuity as evidenced in Bonny, Okrika and other such projects sites of both public and private companies...Same policy led to emergence of FIRST indigenous big player like Seplat now quoted on NSE...
3)TAM already began since October 2014, to last for 18 months approximately...
4)Production will be going on alongside TAM... but with target of hitting 90% by the end of TAM...which is 18months...expectedly this is first quarter of 2016...
5)Jonathan doesn't need to release or approve any fund for NNPC as they according to the NNPC act which Jonathan sort to repeal via PIB(remember he did some changes in the original document); have right to deduct both their capital and recurrent expenditures before remitting balance to federation account...So bills for TAM is already taken care of by them...
6)If Jonathan wanted to loot via this, isn't it right that he go with foreign company than empower local engineers
7)If he's a subsidy beneficiary, it defies logic that he would seek to remove same by 2012...which policy though of national good but politically suicidal(Buhari who denied existence of subsidy is now hypocritically running away from removing same); It is this subsidy removal by him that gave life to opposition then...It's a fact that biggest beneficiary companies of subsidy like Oando,Conoil etc have Jonathan's staunchest political enemies behind them(Obj...Tinubu etc)
Refineries TAM is to the credit of Jonathan as confirmed by buhari himself...2016 target date is still the target for 90% or optimal output... Nothing changed...
9)So why the hullabaloo about an imaginary body language?...Let this body language be deployed in bringing back our Halliburton scandal fund, ending insurgency, massacre of innocents in North Central states, drifting economy and currency alongside other areas of national interest ...

fulanimafia: The statement by PMB in that video only strengthens the OP's points.
No one claims PMB made any direct input to the revival of the refineries, and that was the crux of his statement.
The point is that the disruption of the economic sabotage and looting, in the way of Jonathan and co's preference for fuel importation instead of local refining and starving the refineries to make it tenable, is the primary reason for their accelerated revival.
The integrity of PMB is becoming a well all Nigerians can drink from.
Mynd44: True but can we say the last administration fixed them?
Now that will be the question. Show evidence that the GEJ government fixed the refineries, show us the contracts awarded to fix the refineries, how much was paid and when the contracts were made.
Remember they said the refineries wont work until first quarter 2016. This is not even last quarter 2015.
Personally, I doubt anything major was wrong with the refineries in the first place with these news. It was just more profitable to some people to import fuel than for the refineries to be functioning
Obiagelli: what has this got to do with the topic? Is the pdp now working to keep Buhari in office?
You asked a question and I provided an answer...and showed you where Dambazzau came into the picture and was for anybody that will oust Jonathan from office...He's the arrow man of buhari security initiative and steps so far...Once presumed to replace Dansuki...was in his US team etc...so he's 2000% buhari/APC man...
Obiagelli: smh, does it mean that all the security officers that served on Buhari's campaign are Apc members? Is Dambazau also an Apc member? you guys are pathetic.
Isn't Dambazzau part of the cabal that held sway in the dark days of Yar'adua presidency that fought and shut Jonathan out...APC is simply not a political party but a Jonathan-must-go group because the enemy of my enemy is my friend...Now, Jonathan is out and they are blackmailing and eating their own flesh...Imagine, lai Mohammed not acknowledging buhari as national leader...Tinubu blackmailing Saraki & team...Ngige trying to outwit Onu...etc
So how long did it take you to come up with that one?? I bet your brain feels good as new since you never use it
Let's get something straight......YOU AINT SHIIT......I'm not one those people you can bully on the Internet......you attacked me first and I gave you a dose of your medicine,now you're getting emotional?? LMAO
It took me forever because I was thinking on how to accommodate the stench of an over bleached skin and "three crowns" milk tin sized dullard...who's pompous and feels she deserves an award for being whitewashed in strange pattern albeit a taboo for sane and decent minds but a bazaar for touts and gutter pigs...
BTW I never told you anywhere that I am lord of the rings...but I do my things right...I never attacked you, I only displayed my displeasure at your eulogizing a dirty fight between people(Mr SeverusSnape did same)...and instead of getting the message you choose to display your madness and to prove me right what a venomous viper you're lurking by the side webbed in the cloak of a friend and displaying smiles with a kiss of Judas in the mouth...
laudate: Now you have confirmed my suspicions.... you are still single. Oya, go and get married first. Then after 3 years of marriage, come back & revisit this thread and update us on your findings! Am sure your African mentality would have undergone a major overhaul!
Oh, you think the women (or men) who have been battered black & blue by their spouses did not try communication, initially?
Communication is a 2-way street. Can you communicate with someone who is unwilling to listen to you? Or can you communicate with someone whose only means of communication is his fists?
Bros, the day you see your beloved sister or daughter being pummeled like a punching bag under the auspices of marriage, please stand up and chant "communication," maybe it will quell the battering of her body.
Bro, I still believe in communications... everybody even a madman listens to somebody... there's always something or someone to positively blackmail them with...there's always a way to get back together...there's always a solution if you look hard enough...Most so-called "irreconcilable" differences is a fight of ego and pompous personalities...No matter, how you paint it, it is only in mathematics class that minus minus can give you a plus...Someone pays the price in any peaceful relationship or society...When nobody wanna pay the price and everybody believes they are right, then you start seeing all these media noise and advert for sympathy...Stoop down low to pick your eggs and graciously incubate them notwithstanding the pain...thanks
I came back and noticed the thread has been locked but I got your love letter...
Today, you stepped on an anthill...get ready for a dance with no drummers... You already matched on a heap of soldier ant, be ready to be bitten till the last drop of your blood...No retreat No surrender...

SarahBabyxx: are you done throwing tantrums?? last time i checked you're just one of my 'followers' on NL.....so dont go about over blowing your importance! i dont owe you or anyone an explanation about what i do and dont do.......so dont get it twisted
i'll let the insults slide cos you're my padi but that doesn't mean i don't have claws
Thunder fire you and that your claws...who the fucck do you think you're?...So you feel you're too important to be followed?...Bare your fangs you gay ....maggot like you...If you're a friend indeed, there things you dare not say....be warned and don't let me take this further....nonsense
And you have the effrontery to quote and eulogize such?...doesn't it show how lax you're and to what level of sycophancy you have degenerated...Or you're simply such venomous viper that lurks by the side looking for an opportunity to strike?...your hypocrisy is becoming glaring by the day...I keep record and watch you unravel the poison in you...but be sure there's an antidote for you already...

soe: [s]Having followed certain trends, the following was observed, and details have been forwarded to the relevant agencies, but read this as a piece of information
Even the world's best democracies will never dare this sort of comments.
This is not freedom of speech but direct breeding of treasonous brigandage, felony and an indicator to homicide tendencies...if these people are allowed to grow up this way...I fear for the future.
I trust colleagues in the DSS to fish these boys out and do a thorough job immediately. See the quotes below referring to the president of the country.
1. *Emekkeke 080****8865 2. *Andretene 081****3247 *{further details available on request}
Aside the fact that they have broken almost all NL rules and keep creating new accounts to disguise, Press freedom is not an avenue to spread hate, incite others and display open brigandage...these boys will be scape goats
mmsen: It's not hatred for Jonathan, it's hatred for rational thought that has people claiming that a man who has barely remained in Nigeria for five minutes; A man who has refused to choose his ministers has brought about 'change'.
The only change has been in the rate of BH killing; the depreciation of the naira; and the falling stock exchange index - a reflection that investors are annoyed at Buhari's lacked preparation for the position that he campaign for for so many years.
And it is unfortunate that these liars seem the loudest and noisiest...

AderibigbeAAA: [s]EVERY society has its stock of critics and cynics. Quite often, the former are preferred to the latter because in the course of their criticism, some critics would throw in alternatives or proffer solutions to problems; while the cynics never see anything good in a situation.
The past six weeks of President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-entry into government may have produced a lot of cynics among Nigerians who see Buhari as running the country like a Sole Administrator because of the leadership tussle at the National Assembly.
While they hurry to the conclusion that the stalemate at the National Assembly cannot be totally blamed on President Buhari, they refrain from saying what Buhari should have done in the circumstance – maybe he should have adopted the Late Bola Ige’s prescription of “sidon look” – just look on and do nothing!
All the same, there is a silent revolution going on in Nigeria today. The Buhari-led Administration is still making haste slowly. But apparently, the citizenry is not being adequately informed of the goings-on in government. The ordinary Nigerian is hungry for information. He wants to know. Luckily, he is able to decipher when publicity degenerates into sloganeering.
We remember Harold Macmillan (1894-1986), one- time Prime Minister of Britain, who opined that in times of war, the Ministry of Information should be re-named the Ministry of Propaganda. To Macmillan, governance is war by another name. We see here, the heavy emphasis he places on information.
For the third President of the United States of America, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without a press or a press without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”
There is no suggestion here that in government, the time for performance should be squandered on sloganeering as we witnessed during the immediate past administration. In any situation, “work-work” is better than “talk-talk”. After all, hard work still remains the major antidote for success.
We want to welcome Nigerians to our glorious past, where there was voluntary compliance to lawful orders. In those days, at the mention of “Wole-wole”, “Ikoiko”, or “Edokita”, people cleaned up their environment without waiting for anyone to stand by them with the headmaster’s cane. Government orders were obeyed by faith. People did not need to see government officials before they obeyed.
While President Buhari is yet to speak, his body language alone is sending shivers across the land. Lately, even the electricity companies are gasping for breath, trying to stay afloat in the new order. Suddenly, those embalmed chicken and turkey meats are disappearing from our markets because the Customs Officers at the borders have woken up. The same thing is happening to all banned items. The thief catchers and the courts are waking up. “Ikoiko” is around. These are happening, not so much because the people like the administration but because they know the consequences of non-compliance. That’s leadership! And that’s what we call governance by body language.
The present scenario becomes the more relevant against the backdrop that Nigeria’s problem has never been the absence of laws but the near- absence of enforcement. Evidence of this has always been in the preponderance of the same banned products on our streets and markets. The moral messages communicated by our laws are sharply contradicted by the absence of enforcement. The public sees the conducts condemned in words but also sees in the dramatic absence of enforcement that they are not condemned in deed. This is undermining of fate in the entire system and, in the long run, it breeds cynicism and indifference to the process of law, which augments tendencies towards disrespect for those who make and enforce the law.
Full disclosure is not always desirable. But people want to be carried along. A situation in which our friends in Washington, DC were the ones that informed us that Buhari’s cabinet will not be in place until September, is not neat enough. It should have been the other way round. After all, charity should begin at home.
Still achieving, still pursuing. The Buhari administration has terminated two obviously repugnant contracts that were entered into by the immediate-past regime of Goodluck Jonathan: the $103 million (about N21 billion) maritime security contract awarded to Global West Vessel Specialists Nigeria Limited, GWVSNL, believed to be owned by former Niger Delta Militant, Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo); and the Pipeline Protection Contract awarded to the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, and Niger Delta Militant Group. The two most unconscionable contracts were terminated just a few days after Buhari’s re-entry.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has given a marching order to the Nigerian Army and Navy to take over their constitutionally-assigned responsibility of protecting the pipelines and our territorial waters.
For too long, Nigerians have been opposed to the idea of outsourcing the security of our vital assets to the militants and ethnic militias. While the contracts lasted, the contractors were smiling all the way to the banks and our security agencies that had the constitutional mandates were starved of funds.
Among other things, the Jonathan arrangement exposed the nation to ridicule and open embarrassment because it has no parallel anywhere in the world. Besides, Nigeria did not get value for money as more than 400,000 barrels of crude oil were constructively stolen from us on a daily basis. There is no telling whether the contractors were the same people that were colluding with international shipping companies to steal the oil.
We commend the Buhari administration for doing the needful.
Need we advise that the security agencies that have just got back their constitutionally-assigned responsibilities must be properly equipped to perform? From whom much is expected, much must also be given. President Buhari has started well. But nothing vitiates the need to constantly tell the people what he is doing, for even the Bible enjoins us to, at least occasionally, make a joyful noise. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/buhari-is-still-making-haste-slowly/#sthash.PQrgiUJ3.dpuf[/s]

2)Why did his body language not end boko haram?
3)Why did his body language not stop Europe from banning our export products?
4)Why did his body language not stop stock losses, food prices rise, etc?
5)Body language abi body odour
6)OPC and co contract expired and was NEVER terminated...
7)Name the work done and not empty rhetorics...

ECOTERRORS: This is an article that opens the eyes of every *minorities* in this countries. This is the reason fiscal federalism will never be actualised in this country.
Cc candyrain, whynotthetruth, dearpreye, mogidi, francizy.
An eye opener for all *minorities*
The so called majority are able to intimidate the minority simply because of the greed of individual elements in the minority which allows the principle of Divide & Rule to be possible... eg A Tinubu bastardized Afenifere because of personal political glory...An Ngige is ready to humiliate Ohaneze Ndi Igbo because of selfish political desire...etc ...Such has been and may sadly remain the story... thanks for the mention...
slyfoxxjoe: Nonsense.. this article must have been written by a typical black American.. always on the defensive, always race batting, playing the victim and looking for everything in society to blame for his failures but his own efforts and lifestyle. What do u have to say about the many minorities that took responsibility, worked hard and became successful? Read the biography of Dr. Ben Carson for example. He is a living example of what a black man can achieve if he refuses to be a victim and blame the 'system' for his predicament. The black community in America would never excel until black people themselves learn to do the following: 1) stop dropping out of school and complete their higher educations instead 2) stop selling and using recreations drugs 3) STOP HAVING CHILDREN OUT OF WEDLOCK this is perhaps the biggest cause of poverty in the black community. A lady yet to graduate high school gets knocked up by some guy whose life isn't going in any particular direction..of course he bolts as he barely has enough to take care of himself let alone a woman and her kid as a result she drops out of school to take up menial jobs to raise her child condemning herself and her child to a life of poverty as a result and the circle continues with that child's own generation. 4) black entertainers also need to stop producing music and movies that encourage all the previous listed points. Now I am not denying that there is still racism in the world but the truth is it can only hold u back if u let it!
Why the outburst?...it seems you didn't even finish reading this article...Ten millionaires in a state is better than five billionaires in a state...thanks
