I know many Nigerians are poor in Maths.

A country that depends 70% on oil revenue. A country with over 70% of budget as recurrent expenditure has little left for capital ones, even if corruption wasn't endemic, we still won't be a developed country in the next 20 years.

Good that you acknowledge our huge population. A nation of over 170 million with less than 5 trillion Naira budget is not a lot.
Huge population means a huge burden on infrastructure in every sector.

While you're romancing with utopia that is unachievable given our expensive bicameral parliament and executive, I'm talking reality having listened to politicians promising heaven & earth since 1979 campaign. And witnessed rigging then too. And all delivered way below GEJ has done.
Mind you, I like others, was dancing when Buhari took over. I met Buhari briefly as HoS in a university campus visit and I liked everything he said. But later his actions were different to what he had said earlier.

We need to restructure the polity, devolve more power to states and push capital expenditure up to at least half of budget.

Until then those promising N5,000 to 25 million Nigerians (equal to Edo State budget) and all kind of fantasy stuff only want power, they can't do nothing as oil prices will remain low for a long time.

The current govt can not be trusted to make right changes.

The 2015 budget is a porposal of 91% recurrent expenditure and 9% capital expenditure, over the years capital expenditure budget impementation has been less than 50%.

You can not trust the current govt to restructure the polity, it failed to restructure it in 5 years

Are you not tired of recycling same old leaders?

Buhari's Likes.........1,903
Jonathan's Likes........527
Total Likes.............2,430

Number of views.....24,433

Percentage of Likes ....approx....10%

In other words, less than 15% of viewers of this thread care to "vote" as at 08.53pm when the above data was taken.
This degree of "participation" consequently throws up so many variables/possibilities.

In any case, a smart poultry farmer awaits the hatching of eggs in his stock before taking inventory of chickens.

Well, a female leader is long overdue. Though I'd support an Igbo lady as president. It would be rotating presidency to the East and making a woman lead at the same time.

Btw, I'm not from the East.

How did he fail ? He spent 1 yr and 7 months.. though as a military dictator, but he exhibited degree of integrity that lived and speaked for him after his short lived tenure.

I think the real failure is the one on the seat at the moment. It is stupidity to reward failure.

At the right time , we will get it right, many of you paint GEJ as if he is 40 years , for goodness sake he is almost 60 years .

If the only achievement will be to prove that Nigerians can sanction a failed president with their votes, i will be satisfied

.

A man who had all the trappings of a military C-in-C, yet could not carry his military subordinates along, cannot also carry all the various/diverse people and opinions in a multi-party democratic system with a bicameral parliament.
Even OBJ, a wheeler-dealer and a peoples' person had difficulties doing so.

What did he achieve, sacking civil servants, closing many branches of Radio Nigeria, persecuting investigative Journalists like my relative, applying for us to join OIC (membership granted in IBB's time), punishing Pa Ajasin despite no case against him, jailing Ekwueme without any proof and housing Shagari his kinsman in in a mansion?
Retro-active death sentence & gross abuse of human rights? Stranding Pa Awo by seizing his passport?

Name a school, a road, a bridge, an airport, a dam, a power transmission station, a factory or even a prison (since he liked jailing a lot) or any tangible thing he built in 20 months. The so-called fight against corrption was guided by hypocrisy & bigotry.

Every Southern politician was presumed corrupt. A Northern had to have loads of money in his bedroom (like Barkin Zuwo) or be an ethnic minority (like Aper Aku), or fallen out with GMB years earlier to be seen as corrupt.

Perhaps you were told about his regime. I witnessed it.

*clears throat*

Remi Sonaiya was born on March 2 nd ,
1955. She began her schooling in 1961 at
St. Luke’s Demonstration School, Ibadan,
from where she proceeded to St. Anne’s
School, also in Ibadan, for her secondary
education.

She obtained a Bachelor of
Arts in French from the University of Ife
(now Obafemi Awolowo University) in
1977, graduating with the best result in
her faculty, did her Youth Service at the
Nigeria Military School, Zaria, got
married, and proceeded to Cornell
University, USA, from where she
obtained an M. A. in French Literature.
Back in Nigeria, she enrolled for another
Masters degree program, this time in
Linguistics, which she obtained in 1984,
and immediately returned to Cornell
University for her PhD studies in
Linguistics. She graduated from Cornell
in 1988 and returned to continue
lecturing in the Department of Foreign
Languages of the Obafemi Awolowo
University which she had joined in 1982
as an Assistant Lecturer. She became a
professor of French Language and
Applied Linguistics in 2001.

Among Remi Sonaiya’s academic and
professional distinctions are the
following:
– Member of the Project Drafting
Committee for the Establishment of the
Nigeria French Language Village,
Badagry;

– Member of the executive committees of
some of her professional associations
and of the editorial boards of several
local and international journals;

– Conference interpreter since 1989
(including for ECOWAS);

– Recipient of various international
research grants and fellowships,
including the French Government Grant
for Advanced Researchers and the
German Alexander von Humboldt
Research Fellowship;

– First Nigerian to be appointed as the
Ambassador Scientist of the Alexander
von Humboldt Foundation, a position
she occupied from 2008 to 2014.
Apart from her academic pursuits, Remi
Sonaiya is active in and supports several
church and para-church organisations,
including the Nigerian Fellowship of
Evangelical students (NIFES), the Nigeria
Bible Translation Trust, Calvary
Ministry, Great Commission Movement
of Nigeria, etc. She has been a bible
study teacher in her church for many
years and is on the international faculty
of Haggai Institute, Hawaii, USA, where
she lectures on Stewardship.

Remi has always been interested in
public affairs and is passionate about
issues of justice, equity, and African
development. She is touched by the
plight of all who suffer exclusion and
other forms of injustice: children,
women, the disabled, the poor and the
unschooled. She is concerned that the
young people of Nigeria have to bear the
brunt of the prevailing culture of
corruption and pay for it in mass failure
in their educational pursuits, very high
levels of unemployment, and feelings of
anxiety and hopelessness concerning
their future. She therefore seizes every
opportunity for engagement, for
example, through the conduct of her
“Life Skills” Seminar.
Remi’s interest in public affairs and
development issues influenced her
decision to retire voluntarily from her
position at the Obafemi Awolowo
University in 2010 in order to devote
more of her time and resources to those
pursuits.

She joined KOWA Party and
was elected its National Public Relations
Officer, a position she still occupies. She
is KOWA Party’s candidate for the 2015
Presidential elections.

Remi contributes regularly to Nigerian
media discourse. For example, she was a
blogger for 234 Next until it stopped
publishing, and she is currently a
columnist with The Niche , a weekly
(Sunday) newspaper. She has published
three books on the Nigerian (and
African) condition: A Trust to Earn –
Reflections on Life and Leadership in
Nigeria (2010); Igniting Consciousness –
Nigeria and Other Riddles (2013); and
Daybreak Nigeria – This Nation Must
Rise! (2014).

Remi Sonaiya is married to Babafunso
Sonaiya, a professor of Animal Science,
and they have two grown children and
two grandsons. Apart from English and
Yoruba, Remi also speaks French and
German (as well as some smatterings of
Portuguese). She loves to sing, cook,
write, and travel.

oh spare me.....

so because Gej failed does it mean she will fail?

aren't we all putting our future in risks by also voting the other two candidates everyone is yapping about.

she has a good record and she is clean unlike gej wasn't he holding a political post before then? what did he achieve? and some smart lots voted him into power after that.

you all claim to want change yet you will settle with people who have once ruled us.

Why not try something new and something different?

change can't come if you keep doing the same thing, reelecting past leaders.

What are you writing ? Military coup against him was not necessarily because he could not carry the subordinates along, there are several dynamics to it, like greed or thirst for power, revenge mission, e.t.c

Until, we understand the rationale for sacking civil servants, it makes no sense to demonise it. U can not expect not to have a degree of high handedness in a military govt, expecially the one on a purge drive against indiscipline and corruption, Jerry Rawlings a Ghanian former military dictator who took over in 1982 purging system of indiscipline and corruption was the true definition of brutal, as he killed hundreds of corrupt individuals in Ghana, till tomorrow Jerry Rawlings is still one of the most respected leader in Ghana, and he later transformed to a civilian president .

I guess you were not around to hear the coup speech of IBB.

Now, before the coup, my relative, an investigatve jounalist of over 30 years experience then (he is 86 years old now), had wind of the feelings among senior army officers. His overthrow didn't surprise us when it came. grin

Just because Rawlings killed people out of youthful exuberance doesn't mean there was no better way of doing it.
I doubt if you would take it with such levity if your relatives were among those killed.

There is a reason IBB is called maradona, whatever the justification he gave for the coup must be taken with a pinch of salt.
Usually, the good guys who want results rarely last long, as it is a form of class suicide, so his overthrow is not much of a surprise.

Rawlings method as brutal as it was brought about results, in fact he seized power twice from the bad guys. If the law of the land was to kill for drugs, and my family was involved, well i will feel bad , but i will NEVER hold it against the govt.
