If you really want a thorough assessment of the points you've raised, quit sounding out to your praise singers, you should be looking out for folks who you engage you in a proper debate...

francizy:
As usual I came late again..

barcanista:
Like Ironsi, Jonathan is a gentleman. He has done his bit as a nationalist but the fundamental structural problem worked against him.

NDPVF:
classic.that election is more than voting for a candidate.

mobaking:
If u want seperation,put pressure on ur governors,elected officials and traditional rulers to take the neccesary steps and start following the U.N procedures to secession.But I will tell u why it will fail, you people love money more than freedom.The average easterner will be shouting biafra at the same moment thinking of increasing his shops in kano instead of moving his business back to Biafra to develop it.Put ur money where ur mouth is.

obi4eze:
Locating the Ministry of Niger Delta in the Niger Delta will of course develop the region but will not guarantee the type of development the region is supposed to have as the wealth - base of the nation.

Like I said earlier, Mr Jonathan had the Federal and Financial might at his disposal to transform the region but he messed up. His coming to power was supposed to be for the good of the Niger Delta but he threw away the opportunity. Maybe he thought he had the time.

Buhari has already talked about oil exploration in the North because he wants his people to be favoured.
I don't really want to go into tribalism but you guys will see what would happen if oil is discovered in the North.

What I am trying to say in essence is that most of the problems of the Niger Delta are from within.

AWONEYAN:
just because Jona lost abi...................
If GEJ had won his re-election, would you guys still been singing this song?
Just asking......


I am not a keen supporter of this forced almagamation in the first place.

Jesusloveyou:
u are free to enrol in child education,but stop to interupt adult discusion,go play with ur mate outside.

Ayus34:
Please quickly take the real step of separating from d country,infact 100% resource control will not be good for niger delta.....just call for total separation and i promise i will always be do everything under tge law to make it a reality for u guyz.....afterall AWO defined nigeria as a mere geographical region but ur short sighted azikwe objected it and ganged up with the same tribe u guyz hate today........even personally im tired of nigeria with Igbos sharing the same nationality.......the greatest problem A nation could ve is to ve Igbos as neighbour or nationals!anyleader against the breakage of the useless country will be put to shame IJN!

so you have energy to waste on that lost soul.ok,kwontinu.

ruggedboy01:
Land of rising sun, we love and cherish,
Beloved homeland of our brave heroes;
We must defend our lives or we shall perish,
We shall protect our hearts from all our foes;
But if the price is death for all we hold dear,
Then let us die without a shred of fear.

Hail to Biafra, consecrated nation,
O fatherland, this be our solemn pledge:
Defending thee shall be a dedication,
Spilling our blood we’ll count a privilege;
The waving standard which emboldens the free
Shall always be our flag of liberty.

We shall emerge triumphant from this ordeal,
And through the crucible unscathed we’ll pass;
When we are poised the wounds of battle to heal,
We shall remember those who died in mass;
Then shall our trumpets peal the glorious song
Of victory we scored o’er might and wrong.

Oh God, protect us from the hidden pitfall,
Guide all our movements lest we go astray;
Give us the strength to heed the humanist call:
To give and not to count the cost’ each day;
Bless those who rule to serve with resoluteness,
To make this clime a land of righteousness.

obi4eze:

Mr OP,
Why didn't you raise these issues when GEJ had time. Instead you were playing politics of bigotry, protection and hypocrisy.
Shebi your eye don open abi? Jonathan has done nothing for his people in the last five years and you are celebrating him. He was so clueless that he even forgot them.

BTW, how does locating the Headquarters of the Ministry of Niger Delta in Abuja stop development in that region?

themilanway:
From where i come from we dread someone who speaks from two sides of his mouth more than a rattle snake.That kind of person will give you a poison in a blink of an eyelid.

I read he was lured with a pussyyyy,a smelling one at that.

If you havent noticed yet,Barcanista is a deranged and confused fellow with a slight brain disorder.

Stop giving him undue relevance.

He is very useless

Jesusloveyou:
haba,get some sense na, so d woman sponsor buhari campaign,well to give u some sense, anybody can snap pix with buhari or obama,or is it a crime?does that make him a partaker of d crime. is also a crime to snap pix with gej, because gej is d biggest criminal. I hope u have sense now.

MzJackBaueress:
I wanted to reply the protection seeker but its good you did.

mogentle:
This is why I know that you have no value for yourself. So, all you ve been saying about GMB's integrity before you port to PDP have become lies. You are of zero value and it shows you don't even know what you stand for. I have said it before, you are most comparable to the miserable FFK. Sing on, Oh Barcanista.

idu1:
Failure is your second name!!

obi4eze:
Another good one.
Let's have some fun

socialmediaman:
What other respect do you want? I haven't called Abba Moro stu.pid, nor have I called GEJ an i.diot? I think he was corrupt, very corrupt, including mama peace too, one of the most corrupt governments we ever witnessed, very irresponsible and insensitive government (watch my use of "irresponsible govt" and not "irresponsible GEJ"). He was a good man, I know, but a bad leader, not what Nigeria needs at this time, maybe never again!

socialmediaman:
Lol, these people are public officers, they're elected or appointed by the elected people to handle the affairs of this nation. Unlike me, they're required to declare their assets, unlike me they're required to be accountable to the public, unlike me they're required to consider the interest of the public first before personal interest. El Rufai was criticized for awarding contracts or land to his family members, would our fathers be criticized for giving is their personal lands?

A measure of public discipline and accountability is required from public officers, because that's what they're paid to do. If they fail, they fail not just their families but millions of Nigerians. Abba Moro's failures caused many lives of our fellow citizens, should we keep quiet and consider his job over the lives of those innocent people?

socialmediaman:
I argue with respect and state my points, that's mature. I don't engage in direct insults and unnecessary angry outburst during an argument, I'm not a kid... I've been simply replying your posts without telling you how stupid I think some of them are.. face the argument and quit the outburst, that's what makes you mature...

Back to No. 1. I don't understand why you should recommend a document for me, what is the relationship with the point I raised about the NNPC operating an illegal account? State the point here in a single sentence, does the document say they have a right operate a foreign account other than the federation account? Is the document superior to the constitution? It was stated clearly at the house of assembly that the said account was illegal, what's your counter opinion or point? Please be objective for the sake of the discussion

socialmediaman:
We have the EFCC don't we? What's their constitutional job? If they fail to do their job who should we blame? EFCC chairman? And who has the power to sanction him like the Ex-CBN boss was sanctioned? Like I said, Jonathan had a choice to do his job or not, but one thing is certain, when the people under you fail in their responsibilities, you fail too. So its your choice to make them work or shift blame.

socialmediaman:
We're talking of executive decisions here. The executive is the arm of government that implements the law, if a law Is not working or being implemented, then the problem is from the executive, that's why you need decisive leaders to run the executive

socialmediaman:
Your question is kinda out of place because before the introduction of fingerprint readers, INEC officials could quote any number of people as having been accredited for voting, you may call it fingerprint reader, but it's called technology. There are software and hardware technologies used in law enforcement, they are no different from the regular technologies used in the bank or other companies. Let me break this down, when you say "Airforce One", it doesn't mean a special technology used to carry the president of the US president, it means an airplane built with special features to accommodate the needs of the presidency. I don't know how else to explain technology if you see it as a special kind of system that needs heaven before its developed

socialmediaman:
Let's be more objective about this. Corruption is not a monster, it's an act or sets of acts that become norm of not checked. Let's take the PWC audit on NNPC for instance. As a president its your duty to ensure that your ministers and heads do not subvert due process. The CBN refused to open its books, and you did not nothing when you were told, the NNPC flouts constitutional laws and runs its own parallel accounts instead of the federation account, you did nothing. The NNPC doesn't even know how much it earns from crude, you look the other way, and trillions get missing?
Let's not forget that Nigeria runs a federal system of government, anti-corruption agencies are controlled at the federal, so if the EFCC fails, you have failed too, you don't give people jobs and not check how well they're performing, and not expect to take blame when they fail?

Twaci:
Thanks dear

socialmediaman:
I'm very positive about the workability of a police reform. Police is not 100% corrupt-free anywhere in the world, but with technology, civil society participation and enlightenment, it will work. For instance, the IG says don't pay for bail, but who do we talk to if we're asked to pay for bail? And how does the IG know the suspect Is still being detained with no concrete explanation of there's no central system where every individual pops up once their detention exceeds 24hrs?

socialmediaman:
Ok. A simple example using the banking system. When you make withdrawals at any branch of a bank in Nigeria, your account is deducted and it doesn't matter where the withdrawal was initiated from, the technology world is very powerful. If you want to program the system so that the IG in Abuja knows what is happening in any police unit in Nigeria, very simple, this is technology. It's used in schools to regulate the activities of teachers regarding attendance and accesment, it's used in banks, can be used in police business too including gps tracking of police cars etc. technology is a powerful tool for implementing checks and balances, if not for video recording phones for instance, a lot of crimes will go unpunished.. Technology and training is the way to go IMO

socialmediaman:
@whynotthetruth, I'm a GEJ critic and it's not something I'm hiding, that doesn't mean I don't commend him when he does something, but he doesn't have it, it's not in him, Nigeria needs someone more decisive, and the choice on Buhari to me is very much on point. Some of these objective national issues are lying dusty under the presidency, GEJ just didn't care.. I have to stop here for now

francizy:
Na the way forward before person go open thread un top your matter...
