Ever since May 29th, crime has quadrupled in Lagos. Wonder why Buhari's "body language" hasn't touched the security sector of the economy..

As in level of propaganda is nauseating... I wonder if he's using charm on his supporters...

Truckpusher:
Really ? And another 101 iidiots did gave you a like ?
Something is fundamentally wrong with this country.

I laughed so hard when I saw your comment ...I read his comment and when I saw the number of likes gannered...I went back to reread because I doubted if I got the meaning... I sighed after my second missionary journey on that comment...Lot of Nigerians are sick upstairs...

PassingShot:
@OP, a mistake in your thread: PMB may not have appointed someone from the SE but Dr. Ibe Kachukwu, the GMD of NNPC is Igbo.

I am extremely disappointed and at the same time appreciates the character of the president. The personality that he sticks to his gun as far as he believes in what he's doing. Though this type of attribute, as it's strength, can also become weakness.

Having said that, these latest appointments cannot be justified on the ground of absence of competent and upright characters in the SS/SE/SW.

Did SW accept Olusegun Agangan as Lagos slot when he was appointed by Jonathan... Wasn't it why he came back and picked Obanikoro again?... How you people twist issues and change position like chameleon is disheartening really...

Obiagelli:
My prayer is that we do away with federal character, while shouldn't the best bidder with the best package get contracts instead of federal character?

Most times we seek to become more Catholic than the pope...

You didn't answer the guys question... If Buhari cannot respect federal character, why would his appointees respect same?...

Its a truism that our federal civil service is already skewed in favour of North & SW...so why rub in the salt more?...The mere fact we scream "One Nigeria" shows we aren't one actually...

Will northerners have tolerated same if it were against them...

Remember one of my best Jonathan policies viz; PRESSID...North in NASS fought it from inception till Jonathan left office because they said federal character wasn't respected...This year's batch are stranded because Jonathan lost and buhari isn't ready to approve their stipends for them to travel out after the rigorous examination...

and you people are defending them today...smh...

All I see here is corruption, corruption and more corruption. We clamor for a transparent nation yet we harbor corrupt intention.

We have a serious problem here...We are doing wrong diagnosis always...Nigeria is configured to fail notwithstanding who's incharge...

See an excerpt from an article I wrote last Sunday;

In fight against corruption; It should be noted here, that I am an apostle of Jonathan's proactive measure as shown in his yam & goat analogy as against Buhari's reactive measure of jail policy. Has armed robbery ended with all the jail terms meted to them? Why would treasury looting be any different? I am a candidate of Jonathan's school of thought that believes in building strong institutions as against Buhari's or APC knack for strong individuals. I believe just like Jonathan/PDP that Nigeria's challenge is more in the structure as against Buhari/APC's belief that it is in the faces. Those are my
creed.

Buhari anti-corruption noise would end up like Obj's...an instrument to intimidate opponents...

Restructure Nigeria today and see;
1)Our true population figure will emanate...

2)Innovative leaders will erupt as against lazy noise makers and treasury looters like Oshiomle, Rochas, Aregbesola, TA Orji, Suswam etc

3)Healthy competition will begin among regions...

4)Grassroots development will boom as against Abuja, & Lagos concentration of national wealth and attention...

5)Corruption will go as system becomes less bulky hence more susceptible to transparent & accountable leadership...

No mind the man. Meanwhile he appointed the fence jumping Mr Kcow as his SA on NA....

Section 8 of the Third Schedule is quite long,I'll post it's content later,modify this post,but it totally grounds and give effect to Section 14(3) as quoted above.

Thanks so much bro...I am grateful for this learning opportunity thanks to you...

Section 14(3),as well as Third Schedule,Part IB 8(1),(2) &(3),totally tied him up on these ones as well.Thus far,he'd breached those sections of the Constitution with his appointments

I'm in a good mood so I will not embarrass you, find me his allowances from deputy governor to President. I can promise you it cannot even reach up to a million pounds(310 million Naira). Yet he is building an estate in his home town, have you forget that he built he's mother a mansion, he father another mansion (again remember this was during his presidency not governor years) and they are all located in his estate.

Now don't give that nonsense that it is not an estate, he owns a monopoly of homes, some of which belongs to his family members and the rest for himself.

One mansion in that estate could not cost any less than 4 million pounds in fact since it is Otueke it will probably cost more due to the lack of available infrastructure.


So explain to me how he has made enough money for a farm that is worth in its billions of Naira and the various mansions in his estate that in totally honesty should cost more than £ 4 million pounds each, on allowances that don't even reach the total amount of one Mansion in that estate.

Oh, I do remember that 1 billion naira(4 million pounds back then) food budget allowance for his family alone in Aso Rock Villa, can you explain to me what 1 billion naira is needed for? At this point I believe you need to give in to the fact that you have lost this argument and you should denounce Gej.

This our money for crying out loud, Imagine what 1 billion Naira can do for your village alone. Think before you come here to argue recklessly.

If only a madman knows that he's mad...

Your IQ quotient is too low ...thanks

Of course, THE FACT that you cannot present. But the fact still remains. Nigeria don suffer.

I will look for the document and present to you later. Maybe not 70% but you cannot argue that it was skewed in favour of SS and SE.

Besides, did where his appointees came from had any significant effect on his performance? His Otuoke community recently cried out for lack of potable water and other basic amenities?

Just like buhari has been governor, minister, head of state and now president but the ONLY federal university in his state was built by Jonathan and the federal road there was built also by Jonathan including over 21 almajiri schools there...

Osinbanjo is most respected VP in Nigeria ever. If this was all about ethnicity, he would have been relegated to the background once mission is accomplished!

Sometimes I imagine how you guys reason and how proud you're writing gibberish here...

Which VP has been insulted as much as Osibanjo...Not with his ordinary commissiner tag?...Not with his being blocked out of security meeting?...Not with Aregbesola abandoning him as he is visiting Osun and left for Lagos allowing only SSG to receive him?...Name any VP that has been that humiliated in Nigeria that much?...Not Ekwueme, Not Atiku, Not Sambo...Maybe you guys lie just to feel good and be able to sleep away from all the bitter pills from buhari

Obiagelli:
I believe that is for ministers

Constitution ties him up as par ministers, so he may not have options there...but seems silent as par other areas hence he instead of promoting unity of the country...keeps living to his tag of a sectional warlord...

So why won't people feel discontented?... Why won't people agitate to move away from Nigeria?...Not with statements like 95%/5% and acting it out this way too as well as cancelling projects in 5%regions...

Obiagelli:
Why do we seem to worry where who gets appointed comes from, we act like this appointments automatically mean "come and chop" rather than "come and work". We (rather they) keep quiet when the last government was appointing the biggest thieves from everywhere.
I would suppose a sane human being would be interested in how corruption free the president's appointments are rather than where they come from. It's not like when someone from your tribe is appointed you personally feel the impact. What is the fuss about?

Buhari has a 4yrs mandate, allow the guy choose those that can help him achieve the results he desires.

I get disappointed when I see people who should know displaying same herd mentality...

Did buhari not swear to live, work and protect our constitution... What did the constitution say?...Did our constitution support what you wrote here?...If the North had more corrupt free and informed individuals, how come they are highly undeveloped and poverty ridden?...Polio that isn't existing in somalia anymore is still being checked out in the north...Truth seems too costly for most of us to afford...

PassingShot:
A religious bigot that recently canceled govt's sponsorship of Hajj? A religious bigots who have probably equal number of Muslim and Xtian appointees in his govt so far?

Sure the appointments have clearly skewed in favour of North but was Jona termed an ethnic bigot when over 70% of his appointments were skewed in favour of the South?

I don't like these latest appointments but let's talk factually and responsibly.

I keep imagining if you understand the meaning of facts at all...or are you wired to tell lies and live hatred ridden life...From where did you get Jonathan 70% Southerners?...

Yes...buhari just like you is a religious bigot who got his popularity in the north thanks to his stance on sharia...His SGF passed through hell to become APC national vice chairman NE because he's a Christian... He's the only Christian there...He had to work extra hard more than others to keep his post and attract buhari to keep him against odds...

Buhari stopping pilgrimage was for both sides(Hajj & Jerusalem)... to cut and save cost amidst dwindling revenue thanks to oil crisis...

Afam4eva:
This is not to cast any atom of doubt on Buhari's ability to lead and produce results after all, most of his opponents who were members of the electorate did not vote for him because they think he wont perform. Many of these people disliked him for the fact that they thought he was a tribalist and religious bigot. I personally paid no attention to what was flying around about Buhari pre-election, not necessarily because i thought what people were saying were lies but because those things could not be substantiated especially by me personally. So, i did what i have always done and that is to give people the benefit of the doubt. Personally, i felt Jonathan was a complete failure and thought we needed to try something different. Buhari may not have been my prefered choice out of the number of technocrats that i saw in APC but since he was presented, i kinda preferred him over Jonathan.

Now coming to the purpose of this thread. Doesn't it make some of us look stupid when it seems like Buhari is inching closer to the person they painted him to be. I mean, some Buhari supporters will make statements like "I don't care where the person Buhari appoints comes from as long as he is capable". Of course, statements such as these make people to sleep well at night and not look like complete idiots in the presence of people who would say "Didn't i warn you?". Anybody with an iota of common sense would see that this present dispensation has been riddled with an increase of Northern elements and it is glaring even to the blind. How do you explain the fact that after almost 20 appointments made so far. Only less than 5 are from the south. Not even a single person from the South-East has been appointed to any position. I know Igbos are the group of people we love to hate but this just isn't fair in my opinion. If you want to defend Buhari's pattern of appointments, i think your best bet would be to tell us how Southern Nigeria are so corrupt that it will be hard to find men of integrity or how the North boast of more educated individuals who are unrivaled.

In the spirit of giving Buhari, the benefit of the doubt, my 1 years grace period is still counting. After then, i'll have something to say about his government.

I may not be interested in ALL you said here which to me isn't correct but so far it is your personal opinion, it doesn't matter much to me because you're entitled to one...but to say that South-East love to hate is an insult both to me and to everybody from that part of the country...

What and how do you justify such insensitive and myopic statement?

What is it that fed your conviction about that?

Isn't it an indication that you have a poisoned and primordial sentiments guiding your disposition and interaction with people from there?

Aren't you by that statement showing you carry a burden of hatred against them?...

Such mindset shows how unbiased & informed your other submissions in this write up are...smh

Did you see the part about his farms in Abuja?

1)I expected you to counter my points...

2)How is anybody owning a farm now a crime?

3)Why not seek out information about allowances accruing to a former deputy governor, a former governor, a former vice president and then a president and compare it with the living standard cum investments of Jonathan...If he's not worth the investment then we can start talking of corruption and embezzlement...

We Are FIDELITY! We Keep Our Word!
Finally, something to make me smile, beyond this whole secessionist ish.

I have remained with Fidelity bank because of an advert they ran in the early 2000s.
The lyrics of the ad concept was one which totally resonated with me.
Sometimes, I call their customer care with my airtime just to hear this song.
Other times, before withdrawing cash from an ATM, I tend to hold for a bit so I can listen to the song.
I wish I could get a Youtube video or MP3 copy of the song.

The lyrics goes thus:-

In the summer and in the rain.
Through the good times and through the pain
I'll be there when you call my name
Yes I will be true, true to you
And together we soar the skies
Pull down mountains and reach great heights
Your success would be my delight
I'm leaving you
And in everything I do
I'll be true to youuuu
No matter what it takes
True to you
True you.
I'll be true to you no matter what it takes.
FIDELITY BANK, WE ARE FIDELITY, WE KEEP OUR WORD.

A great customer indeed...Welcome to Fidelity bank

anulaxad:
Mr. howcomesIlovelies, I indeed urge you to watch this video with an open mind, I hope it is not to much for you. While PDP campaigned on propaganda, APC specifically made a video about Jonathan, all factual,there is nothing that you can deny in this video as they have provided proof and a detailed analysis. It's around 30 mins, be patient.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqqFowdsHl8

@bolded...I hope you really hate insults sincerely...

I stopped watching immediately I saw it discussing persons and not issues...and the intro about Jonathan reducing governance to bigotry is a BIG lie because;

1)APC is a political party founded on bigotry... Religious bigotry for the North and Ethnic bigotry for SW...why project their image on others?...

2)APC based on its foundation introduced FULL blown bigotry into the system...And as with all thieves and mischievous persons keep pointing hands on others...

3)You aren't exempted from this bigotry too...because I saw your thread on that topic...You listed ONLY SE/SS ethnic warlords here and hypocritically left behind SW ethnic champions...Smh...

4)Did PDP campaign on propaganda...How come APC controlled 90% of ALL media groups?...Punch, Premiumtimes, Leadership, Saharareporters, Dailytrust, Dailypost, Tvc, Osundefender, TheNation etc Which party had ONLINe paid touts who spew lies daily here and in other online outfit?...Which party had a propaganda room sited in Lagos otherwise called situation room?...

5)Discussing FFK dad and then FFK...can these men be compared to Tinubu in corruption and dirt accumulation...

6)Greater percentage of Jonathan's cabinet were from the north...Most of his achievements are in the north...

7)Anyway, I need to go back to topic of this thread...I have derailed so much...Counter the facts in the topic as against what obtained in the past...Maybe you need to also take a look at our TI rating before & after Jonathan...thanks

China, USA and other major powers are experiencing this same issue.

This is partly what GEJ bestowed on us. It will get better by the passage of time.

Why did you run away yesterday...

Back to Topic; So after reading why investors aren't investing funds in NSE anymore... you still went ahead to mention Jonathan in it and your sycophants spurred you on?...God have mercy on your soul...Amen
