lagerwhenindoubt: I guess 150% of those who voted Obama met him and know him face to face. I guess those who voted Cameron in the UK also were his bosom friends who knew him and wined and dined with him hence they got his votes. |

^^^ you miss the point it is all about[b] POLITICAL AWARENESS[/b], how many of the voters are politically aware when they place the future of the nation at the ballot boxes https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=451346.msg6093726#msg6093726 Re: How Can Nigeria Get A Leader With Vision And Integrity Not that I am averse to starting small, like they say, little drops of water make a mighty ocean but for me that approach will take years to start having an effect (if it is not killed-off quickly by the current crop of corrupt leaders). Very few doubt the good-works of Okonjo-Iweala despite rumors of poor governance and corruption issues. She put her foot down and did what had to be done to spur immense economic reforms whose impact can still be felt today, but what happened when OBJ started eye-ing 3rd term in Office? He disgraced her out of office together with Oby-Ezekwesili. The government of the day will always hire good hands to keep the wheels of this country's greatest revenue generation engine going. (Crude Oil) but when it is time to start stealing, they simply disgrace you like they did to Nuhu Ribadu. What Level of Political Awareness do you find yourself? |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by MaJBlige(f): 4:08pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
^^^^ Go out there into the core Naija villages without sentiments, be objective and do your research and you will be surprised at the political awareness of the villagers - dont rely on what you read online or on NairaLand. Do this if you want to know the truth. |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 4:19pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
^^^ I research online a lot and unfortunately I have not gone to "core villages" in Lagos but I work with PDP campaign coordinators for candidates vying for Governorship, Senatorial, Reps and Lagos House of Assembly positions. reading online helps educate my mind and actually working with delegates, ward chairmen and LGA chairmen allows me the opportunity to know what is going on at the grassroots. It is encouraging to know that some who come to vote know why they are voting, but as witnessed in Lugard road Ikoyi when the registration exercise commenced, well over 100 persons were brought in a bus from Ajah to register and paid N200 for their efforts (their registration cards have been bought) and come April these registered voters who have sold their votes for mere N500 and given food and shelter will sell their rights to corrupt politicians. |

Can u defend that in a court of law? |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by blacksta(m): 4:49pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
lagerwhenindoubt: Ol boy you are spot on. I did witness a situation where an old man was brought to the polling station. The man had no clue why he was there or what was going on and he kept asking his handlers which one should i thumb print on. Hence the reason why a large chunk of the population are happy to trade their votes for cup of rice or recharge card. |

How do we determine giving someone a chance? If sm1 fails in a certain duty u give useful suggestions 4 him to sit up. Not critizing without profering solutions |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by Kobojunkie: 9:27pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
Nsiman: As long as your candidate has failed, you, at that point, are best considering other possible candidates who can as well do a better job. Sitting, proffering solutions won't cut it at that point. The failure can as well go back to school, and get better trained to maybe try again at a later time. |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by MaJBlige(f): 9:30pm On Feb 05, 2011 |
Who has the time begging people who will not vote this type of question? Even if you like vote for him, if you dont like him, dont vote for him. Whats the big deal? Everyone has the right to vote who he or she likes. |

@ Beaf, Shebi whilst the same Timi Sylva prodded the Bayelsa assembly to probe the contracts he awarded that left the state in N28bln debt and they were all found to be fraudulent. Please point to one of GEJ's projects that warranted leaving the state in N28bln debt. Rufus Ada George returned money to the Federal Govt after his tenure, with no debt, and he brought a lot of development to the state. These days megathieves like GEJ will leave a state in xblns of debt with nothing to show for it. GEJ is an abysmal failure. An abhorent and incompetent thief. When I'm on my PC, I will post Alams story of how he went to GEJ's humble abode in the NDDC compound in 1998 to convince him to become his deputy. In 1998, GEJ was a poor man, now he's a billionaire. |

GEJ will win the election, no doubt but I see a very dark four years for nigeria if nothing Serious is done about the various security issues sweeping the country. We have MEND, doing whatever it is they do to prove their point NDLF bombing nigeria's resources with reckless abandon Boko Haram I honestly don't see their point but they claim to have one and they are doing their best to prove it The crisis in Jos has almost reached its crescendo Kidnapping is at its all time high in the country And numerous other security issues. To be honest OBJ's regime was even better when it came to national security. Are we supposed to be getting worse instead of improving? Is any of the political candidates strong enough to handle these issues, I don't think so. Its only God that can save Nigeria because our elected officials follow the same trend, none performance or if we are lucky minimal performance With all this security issues, one day the civilian government will not be able to handle it. And God forbid a military takeover. |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by lagerwhenindoubt(m): 7:03am On Feb 06, 2011 |
larablog: Take heart, what is the worst that can happen. GEJ will dedicate $5 billion to make Special Advisers of every kingpin Kidnapper, Bookoh Haramist, MENDer and NDLFer . we will all be safe, what are you worried about Bianca will be promoted to Super-Special Adviser on 1st Lady Education Matters |

@ larablog, gej and the community inhabitants, who shld report security threats to the law enforcement agent? Taking an instance on how the Aba kidnapping was stopped |

Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by Kobojunkie: 3:08am On Feb 07, 2011 |
ddc machine: You do realize that particular case remains a mystery? The public still don't know how it was solved except for the fact that a man was fingered as the culprit(how, not much of a clue available),and then publicly executed. |

I used to think that he'll deliver based on the fact that he is from the minority but he has shown that he does not have the guts, wisdom or the kind of diplomacy it takes to pilot a great nation like Nigeria. He is relying on praise singers and psychophants to win the election. I've decided to give my own chance to Buhari/Bakare instead of this bunch of thieves and insensitive people in pdp. |
Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by ddcmachine: 6:40am On Feb 07, 2011 |
@kobo, the inhabitants of aba made a tipp-off to the law enforcement agents, the kidnappers' den was expose, the law enforcement agents took it up from there, but the josites and co has refused to do same and are seeing what they are xperiencing |

Afam4eva wrote: He's popularity is overwhelming. So i just fill we should wait and see what people see in him. You are giving in to bandwagon thinking and herd mentality. one of the main problem with Africa , particularly West Africa , is that many of us let our thinking be guided by sentiments , ethnicity, religion, popular culture/opinion rather than principled, factual , scientific and evidence-based logic. When you have a President who interfered partisanly to free a man from a murder charge , all because of the need to protect political interest, we have the type of evidence-based observation that , in sane nations , would constitute damning evidence of why Jonathan should not be "given a chance" . Jonathan's popularity should really not concern or unerve you enough for your stance to change if you take positions based on solid premises . If you found him wanting as a leader then I am sure you did not come to that conclusion lightly . you should therefore not change your opinion flippantly because Jonathan ostensibly has runaway popularity. Nigeria is , more or less , a parallel universe where normal rules don't apply. it was the same with Yar Adua . Folks found themselves supporting him , because others did , when all the evidence show that they will be dissapointed . The rest is history with Yar Adua. It will be no different with Jonathan. Personally , I can hold my head high because I predicted that Yar Adua would be a failure while many were saying he should be given a chance because he appears a "good man" when , in reality , the evidence, for anyone who cares for non-sentimental examination of issues , showed otherwise. I have been a consistent critic of Jonathan , on basis of fundamental unsuitability for a very important office , since the Yar Adua illness saga and I can say with more confidence than ever before that Jonathan has gone on to prove he will be a greater disaster than I imagined. |

@ Mr poaster , to your request to give GEJ a chance, I have no issue. Rather I want to remind you that the election has been conducted, GEJ has been given the mandate save what happened to Yar, repeats itself, God forbid though. PDP has given him all he desires all that has been happening since PDP primaries remains a well calculated political drama awaiting the CPC,ACN,ANPP and CO will come up with a case in court against GEJ.

Re: Let's Give GEJ A Chance by laoak2: 8:24am On Feb 07, 2011 |
It could be very dissappointing when you hear what you dont expect from certain people, educated, elites, etc. Who is a good leader? someone that knows the needs of his people, create avenue to solve it, he may not get it fully resolved, but it should be seen clearly by his people that he is doing something. I use to think our problem is corruption but it is not, our problem is that " WE take it, we take shit", because some stupid people always justify why we should take the shit. Muritala rulled for just six months and history will never forget him, Gowon rulled too, How long does GEJ need to rule for before we realise that he has nothing to offer, he does not have solution to any of our problem, Electricity, water, education, security, crisis, corruption, unemplyoment, etc even fuel ( we should not be decieved by what we see now, the problem is still there) pls lets reason together, we need to change this country for our children, it might be too late for some of us. We know those that are ruining this country, eating our money and making us to pay for it, enriching their own wallet with our collective resources, God gave it to all of us, by bringing GEJ back, we are helping them, by vote Buhari and Tunde, we will reduce the number. Lets give it a try, we have nothing to lose. By virtue of the fact that we are citizens, we are entittle to certain benefit, but does it ever get to us, no medical , no road, no education, etc no my people this guys are thieves, they should be purnished |
