I thought of replying some posts but seeing the trend here, i changed my mind. It's really sad to see that we are partly to blame for what we suffer in this country. Instead of looking at things objectively, some people are just being unduly cynical. We say we want change, yet we seem not to know what change is or how we should get it. Our leaders pit us against ourselves and those who have what it takes to lead us to where we should be, and we foolishly accept their tribal and sentimental excuse for mediocrity, even to the point of religiously helping them achieve their aim.
@topic
Anyway, i'll expect the outcome of the committees and see how, in clear terms, they expect to achieve these goals. One thing is certain though, i'm not voting for the PDP.

Mad Cow: (I guess this is number one.)diversify the country's economy and pursue the seven-point cardinal development initiative to;

1.provide qualitative education,

2.uninterrupted power supply,

3. full and gainful employment,

4.affordable local fuel,

5.healthcare

6.and food.



Did anybody notice that they didnt mention security?! Reason being that the chief Financier and strategist of the Boko Haram known as Buhari is in their midst. Also the Onye Isi ndi Kidnappers in the East known as Rochas Okorocha is also there. So there is no need to list security as one because when once they assume power, the criminals are automatically in government. #Period.

It is obvious to any sane person, not a mind reader, that your words literally means that you are saying security was not mentioned. Simple. Now you are shown that they indeed mentioned security, you change tact to say:



I will let others judge you because I don't have time for pointless back and forth based on using pedantism to hide how folks like you simply seek negatives to disguise your real agenda. I deliberately let this thread gain many responses before contributing beyond the initial post. The reason is that, before today, the criticism was "they have no manifesto", "we don't know their plan", "how come they have not revealed their plans for Nigeria" etc, etc, etc.

Now that this article provides a start towards everyone gaining an understanding of the thinking of the APC,suddenly, no one is interested any more. The criticism of yesterday, regarding lack of information, flies out of the window to be replaced with sneers about Audu Ogbeh and "why 7 and not 5 or 10". No one has even bothered to inspect salient issues. I say it here daily that many Nigerians, even if they don't know it, are mentally damaged goods who have long ceased to see what matters.

They tell you they want the PDP out yet mock every effort to make that happen even as they will never get involved themselves. They won't even register to vote!!!! They say they want more information yet when provided with that they quickly move on to other petty gripes without so much as a glance at the information they forcefully demanded yesterday. Nigeria and Nigerians. What a Country, what a people.

Why are you calling on others? Are you not a man of "goodwill"? As long as you will not get involved, then you should be humble enough to look pragmatically at those, for good or bad, who offer themselves to lead while hoping evolution takes care of everything else.

If you are someone able to introspect honestly then you will accept that Nigeria belongs to me and you and that unsavoury elements have only been able to hijack everything good about our nation because we all stay on the sideline seeking messiahs while reserving the right to contribute nada to create the nation we want.

For now, the APC , even if not perfect, is another welcomed mallet chipping away at the unacceptable status quo because it hosts the good guys we all support even if you and others want to make the Party about a few individuals you perceive as 'unfit'. If you want to focus on the few Ogbehs, Udenwas and Ikimis as the identity of the Party, then be my guest.

I like to argue in a practical and factual way. let compare parties and their control state in terms of their interest and use of power, development from internal and external resources. I stand to be corrected PDP has more states than most of the parties, have more funds, but development within their controlled state are minimal with respect to other parties. Lets not forget that if new names are brought forward the same people that are against the known names will tell you he would be a failure cos he is not known and he cannot perform. We all know that Fashola was not known but today either anybody likes it or not he is the best governor in Nigeria from his antecendent (present gov). I laugh when people say parties in Nigeria dont have ideaology. It tells lot about us cos we can see they have different approach to issues and different mindset but do we really understand the word ideaology. I doubt it cos most of our politicians and electorate dont understand the rudiment of democracy, its operation , its modes and operandi. there are lots of loop holes in our understanding. PDP's manifesto talks about pushing true federalism to its fullest, can some one remind one policy that PDP have pushed to favour true federalism, do they even talk about it. Tinubu have been a serious fighter of true democracy.( Tinubu/Obasanjo LG) that lead to the creation of Governor forum initiated by Tinubu himself to pressurise the FG, but today it have been hijacked by PDP. PDP ideaology is neoliberal (economic liberalism) and stance in its economic policies and maintains a conservative (social convervatism) stance while ACN is classical Liberalism and maintains a progressivism stance. Now do we understand the stance and policies under this ideaology, Nope. We are just good in making noise but we dont sit to read or study their differences. Nigerians have a lot to learn and understand in democracy, yet the motive of every body is to have food on the table, shelter, water, good road, good school etc but the way to go about it varies from individuals to groups of people.

@bolded, is that what the courts told you? In any case, does it matter that Ndume was a former ANPP member?

Yes it matters cos BH is an offshoot of the Ecomog political thugs controlled by the ANPP . . . .

The SSS claimed that Konduga disclosed that Boko Haram had origins in a militia group called ECOMOG which enjoyed the patronage of top politicians in the north-eastern state of Borno, especially the then Governor Ali Modu Sheriff. Konduga reportedly confessed that he was formerly a member of the ECOMOG militia group before he and several of his colleagues joined Boko Haram.

BlueMurder:

Was it not post-2011 when he had become a PDP member, that the BH menace became deadlier? Was it not between October 3 and November 3, 2011 that 73 communication contacts were discovered between him and Konduga? Was he still in ANPP at that time? Read the link below and get yourself educated

How does this erase the glaring fact that his former party in which he was a chieftain a few months ago had concrete links to the BH members . . .
BH escalated simply because they were stealthily supported by the core North as a blackmail tool to wrest power unto themselves . . . . . . .

The link you provided said nothing unusual, so i wonder what education your feel your passing grin

BlueMurder:

Again, i ask, if Ali Modu Sheriff and Ibrahim Shekarau are BH financiers as you allege, why are they still free men in the society? What does that say about the competence of this administration?

When the SSS establish an unquenchable link between them and BH beyond all reasonable doubt, they will be arraigned like a Serving Senator called Ali Ndume

If a PDP member in Ndume could be arraigned, then what doubt are you left with . . .

btw,Still doesn't change the fact that the APC is not immune in your attempt to categorize BH supporters/financiers . . .

BlueMurder: Btw, are you tired of repeating the mantra that Buhari is BH's chief financier?

Even though i never mentioned Buhari as the Chief Financier of BH in my post, his valid loss to GEJ further angered the core North which fueled and supported the geometric rise of the BH menace

The Core North are united in their quest to wrest power back unto themselves and it cuts across all party base . .Only the naive is blind to this . . .

Really, you are beginning to sound like a broken record!

You are simply too naive if you feel so . . . .

I can see why nigerian politics will never progress beyond peoples ethno-religious sentiments. Its simply because of narrow minded thinking of people like you. what you have plainly stated here is that no matter how credible the candidate is, you will not vote him as long as he is a muslim but rather vote the worst option if he happens to be the only christian. you seemed to have like Governor Fashola(and all that he has achieved as a governor) but suddenly hate him now just because you discovered now that he is a muslim. your type sickens me to the bones in the midst of rising unemployment,infrstructural decay, poverty, mismanagement, corruption etc. I dont care even if it is a muslim-muslim ticket or a christian-christian ticket as long as revolutionary change for the better is guaranteed;Nigeria is nothing more than a [b]religious country without God[/b]so it makes no difference to me where the leader comes from. come 2015 reasonable Nigerians are not going to vote for the party but will vote for the candidate. We instead should pray that APC is able to at least just give us a credible alternative as a candidate to what pdp is planning to offer. preferebly a candidate who is (at least meets up to 80% of requirements) younger,strong-willed,disciplined,visionary,honest
Re: APC Unfolds 7-point Agenda by DVanguard: 2:33pm On Feb 21, 2013
We need to understand the Basic Idealogies of Both parties in Nigeria according to their economic policies.
PDP - Neoliberalism
According to Boas and Gans-Morse nowadays the most common use of the term neoliberalism refers to economic reform policies such as “eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets and lowering trade barriers”, and reducing state influence on the economy especially by privatization and fiscal austerity. The term is used in several senses: as an ideology the term is used to denote a conception of freedom as an overarching social value associated with reducing state functions to those of a minimal state; and finally as an academic paradigm the term is closely related to neoclassical economic theory.

Some people believe that the term is used as a pejorative for policies that deregulate the private sector and increase its role in the economy
Neoliberalism is in the first instance a theory of political economic practices that proposes that human well-being can best be advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms and skills within an institutional framework characterized by strong private property rights, free markets and free trade. The role of the state is to create and preserve an institutional framework appropriate to such practices. The state has to guarantee, for example, the quality and integrity of money. It must also set up those military, defence, police and legal structures and functions required to secure private property rights and to guarantee, by force if need be, the proper functioning of markets. Furthermore, if markets do not exist (in areas such as land, water, education, health care, social security, or environmental pollution) then they must be created, by state action if necessary. But beyond these tasks the state should not venture. State interventions in markets (once created) must be kept to a bare minimum because, according to the theory, the state cannot possibly possess enough information to second-guess market signals (prices) and because powerful interest groups will inevitably distort and bias state interventions (particularly in democracies) for their own benefit.
Neoliberalism seeks to transfer control of the economy from public to the private sector, under the belief that it will produce a more efficient government and improve the economic health of the nation. The definitive statement of the concrete policies advocated by neoliberalism is often taken[citation needed] to be "Washington Consensus", a list of policy proposals that appeared to have gained consensus approval among the Washington-based international economic organizations (like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank). Williamson's list included ten points:
Fiscal policy Governments should not run large deficits that have to be paid back by future citizens, and such deficits can have only a short term effect on the level of employment in the economy. Constant deficits will lead to higher inflation and lower productivity, and should be avoided. Deficits should only be used for occasional stabilization purposes.
Redirection of public spending from subsidies (especially what neoliberals call "indiscriminate subsidies"wink and other spending neoliberals deem wasteful toward broad-based provision of key pro-growth, pro-poor services like primary education, primary health care and infrastructure investment
Tax reform– broadening the tax base and adopting moderate marginal tax rates to encourage innovation and efficiency;
Interest rates that are market determined and positive (but moderate) in real terms;
Floating exchange rates;
Trade liberalization – liberalization of imports, with particular emphasis on elimination of quantitative restrictions (licensing, etc.); any trade protection to be provided by low and relatively uniform tariffs; thus encouraging competition and long term growth
Liberalization of the "capital account" of the balance of payments, that is, allowing people the opportunity to invest funds overseas and allowing foreign funds to be invested in the home country
Privatization of state enterprises; Promoting market provision of goods and services which the government cannot provide as effectively or efficiently, such as telecommunications, where having many service providers promotes choice and competition.
Deregulation – abolition of regulations that impede market entry or restrict competition, except for those justified on safety, environmental and consumer protection grounds, and prudent oversight of financial institutions;
Legal security for property rights;

D'Vanguard:
We need to understand the Basic Idealogies of Both parties in Nigeria according to their economic policies.
PDP - Neoliberalism
According to Boas and Gans-Morse nowadays the most common use of the term neoliberalism refers to economic reform policies such as “eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets and lowering trade barriers”, and reducing state influence on the economy especially by privatization and fiscal austerity. The term is used in several senses: as an ideology the term is used to denote a conception of freedom as an overarching social value associated with reducing state functions to those of a minimal state; and finally as an academic paradigm the term is closely related to neoclassical economic theory.

Some people believe that the term is used as a pejorative for policies that deregulate the private sector and increase its role in the economy
Neoliberalism is in the first instance a theory of political economic practices that proposes that human well-being can best be advanced by liberating individual entrepreneurial freedoms and skills within an institutional framework characterized by strong private property rights, free markets and free trade. The role of the state is to create and preserve an institutional framework appropriate to such practices. The state has to guarantee, for example, the quality and integrity of money. It must also set up those military, defence, police and legal structures and functions required to secure private property rights and to guarantee, by force if need be, the proper functioning of markets. Furthermore, if markets do not exist (in areas such as land, water, education, health care, social security, or environmental pollution) then they must be created, by state action if necessary. But beyond these tasks the state should not venture. State interventions in markets (once created) must be kept to a bare minimum because, according to the theory, the state cannot possibly possess enough information to second-guess market signals (prices) and because powerful interest groups will inevitably distort and bias state interventions (particularly in democracies) for their own benefit.
Neoliberalism seeks to transfer control of the economy from public to the private sector, under the belief that it will produce a more efficient government and improve the economic health of the nation. The definitive statement of the concrete policies advocated by neoliberalism is often taken[citation needed] to be "Washington Consensus", a list of policy proposals that appeared to have gained consensus approval among the Washington-based international economic organizations (like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank). Williamson's list included ten points:
Fiscal policy Governments should not run large deficits that have to be paid back by future citizens, and such deficits can have only a short term effect on the level of employment in the economy. Constant deficits will lead to higher inflation and lower productivity, and should be avoided. Deficits should only be used for occasional stabilization purposes.
Redirection of public spending from subsidies (especially what neoliberals call "indiscriminate subsidies"wink and other spending neoliberals deem wasteful toward broad-based provision of key pro-growth, pro-poor services like primary education, primary health care and infrastructure investment
Tax reform– broadening the tax base and adopting moderate marginal tax rates to encourage innovation and efficiency;
Interest rates that are market determined and positive (but moderate) in real terms;
Floating exchange rates;
Trade liberalization – liberalization of imports, with particular emphasis on elimination of quantitative restrictions (licensing, etc.); any trade protection to be provided by low and relatively uniform tariffs; thus encouraging competition and long term growth
Liberalization of the "capital account" of the balance of payments, that is, allowing people the opportunity to invest funds overseas and allowing foreign funds to be invested in the home country
Privatization of state enterprises; Promoting market provision of goods and services which the government cannot provide as effectively or efficiently, such as telecommunications, where having many service providers promotes choice and competition.
Deregulation – abolition of regulations that impede market entry or restrict competition, except for those justified on safety, environmental and consumer protection grounds, and prudent oversight of financial institutions;
Legal security for property rights;

If we had more contributing intelligently as you do perhaps the cretins here will learn or at worst be shamed into silence. Many here try to get the forum looking at issues but that approach is never successful because majority prefer a sentimental and personality-focused examination of every topic under discussion.

I have tried, to no end, to show that almost any Party will be better than the PDP if we inspect the core ideology and political leaning of the ruling Party. The PDP, because it shaping pillars are essentially the crude thinking of the military/uniformed class, cannot sanction any economic model which will truly liberate Nigeria to develop optimally via leveraging on merit and the notion of letting unbridled innate talent, present in all Nigerians, position us optimally.

We have not said any Party is full of saint and we are not arguing that Nigeria will become utopia under any Party. The consistent argument is that Nigeria will move frward considerably under any Party aside the PDP because the ruling Party is merely an apparatus with which former military men reinvented themselves in 1999 to continue the democratic despoil of Nigeria they had carried on , all too easily, previously in their military attire.

Ultimately, when some attain the mental maturity to enable them discern issues, it will be obvious that the PDP's ideology remains one allied to deceitful gradualism which was deliberately initiated , and nurtured since, to prolong the precise conditions that makes Nigeria so hideously underdeveloped.
