AreaFada2: 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 1 Like |

One among those leaders who over 50 years got us into the mess we are in now. Then after Buhari, is Gowon next, then Abubakar? Or even try to resurrect Murtala Mohammed to rule again? 2 Likes |

For those still intent on living in a fool's paradise, check out the following: 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. Think about it... |

bangleslover: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. |

AreaFada2: 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 12 Likes |

emiye:. 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. 1 Like |

emiye: *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. www.kowaparty.net/ 4 Likes |

AreaFada2: 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 . 6 Likes |

emiye:. 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. 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. Talking of greed, was Buhari not greedy to overthrow Shagari? 1 Like |

AreaFada2: 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. 5 Likes |
