mrjingles:

This is a DIALOGUE OF THE DEAF, I am surprised at the level of vitriol expressed, the intolerance displayed by both sides. How can we criticize our politicians when we are no different in our attitudes? NL has become IL- INSULTLAND! both camps- BB and GEJ are absolutists in view and see only black or white.

Disagreeing without insult and invectives is a mark of civility and so far we have failed  do so. In my opinion resorting to insults, name calling and abuse of the type I am seeing on ALL threads related to this elections betrays a lack of capacity for REASONED debate, arguments over IDEAS and PRINCIPLES. We don't all have to agree (indeed we shouldn't all agree, thats dangerous) but we surely can disagree in a more civil and reasonable manner. The irony is that we claim the NLand (sorry ILAND) crowd is hip and enlightened, if this is "enlightenment" then this country is in BIG TROUBLE!

What we have here is a failure to communicate people.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

About 500 politicians, officials and businessmen were jailed as part of a campaign against waste and corruption.

Some saw this as the heavy-handed repression of military rule.

But others remember it as a praiseworthy attempt to fight the endemic graft that prevented Nigeria's development.

He retains a rare reputation for honesty among Nigeria's politicians, both military and civilian, largely because of this campaign.

As part of his "War Against Indiscipline", he ordered Nigerians to form neat queues at bus stops

GenBuhari:

Seun,
The biggest project by the PDP is the project of corruption and looting

Buhari would put a stop to that

excerpt from bbc article on Buhari as Head of State:

Akanbi_edu:

You need to do better than this! Like show Seun how anti-corruption crusade will not affect his business.

Do you think D'banj supports GEJ because of morals? It's all about interests people.

If my personal interest is threatened by the possibility of BB in government, why would I support such movement.

Ask Dangote why he supports every dVnce that comes to power. Unlike many of us, Seun has got bigger stake

in the whole arrangement. Only resolute convictions can make high stakeholders go against an incumbent in

this part of the world.

jaybee:

let us speak like informed people please.

PAN has been privatized (or sold) to OBJs cronies; for the avoidance of doubt, senator (former Governor) Makarfi & co.
Majority of the workers there have been sacked ( or retrenched)

presently, only one assembly line for peogeot 307 is functional with a daily output of twenty-two (22) cars par day and less than 5,000 cars annually.

i'm not aware of any other vehicle manufacturing plant that is functional.

on this note, I would like to give a big kudos (probably my vote; yes my vote ! ) to Buhari who single handedly, without

any noise, gave a life line to a comatosed ANAMCO, during the PTF days, with a contract to assemble (with substantial

local content) the rugged 1414 buses which were distributed to almost all the tertiary institutions in nigeria. Most of us

enjoyed them; and till date, (about 15 years later) some are still functional and useful to the universities, polytechnics,


colleges of educations, colleges of nursing, monotechnics, etc .

However, GEJ and his pdp killed these assembly plants, systematically, and someone today is insulting the

sensiblilities of an informed nigeria by giving a directive for parastatals to start patronizing what is just not available.

non sense!

Don’t Blackmail CPC and General Buhari

We consider it a privilege to document our thoughts on this distraction attempt by so called youths and their childish attempts at blackmail.

The logo of the CPC is a pen and a flag, it means the party is keen on knowledge, deeply patriotic and eager to re-write Nigeria’s history. We are amazed that digital youths can be so uninformed about the social media we have all come to taut ourselves as experts on.

There are a few documents on this that state actual facts about how this is a cheap blackmail attempt. Some of the documents will be held until further evidence is required.

1. We have documents showing the letters received by CPC officials from third party individuals, the date it got to CPC officials and required time for response. These documents show that we communicated with them within their time frame.

2. We have records of email from Femi Odewumi, MD of Bluelabs LLC indicating their intention to sell the “project” to CPC.

3. We have records of our phone conversations with the MD of Bluelabs LLC, Femi Odewumi where we requested a meeting to make available to him the facts about this case that they have not put into consideration. We also have a record of his return call indicating that his team is meeting in the afternoon and he will get back to us. All these conversations happened hours before launching their malicious website and Femi Odewunmi has not called back.

4. We have records of the the source of the YouTube video, an individual (a fan of the Buhari/Bakare 2011 Campaign) who made it and the various people who have uploaded it from inception. This YouTube was a user generated content offered to Buhari4Change Fanpage publicly on Facebook with permissions for use.

5. We have screen shots backing up every detail, some of which are already being adjusted by the people perpetrating this ill.
While neither CPC nor any of it’s officials own, designed or developed the Youtube video montage, please find below the terms and conditions of Youtube. This “Transformation soundtrack” has been uploaded to YouTube since the Jan 30, 2011 at the latest. YouTube’s Terms of Service about video uploaded to their website states:

It is a big shame, that opposition politicians can go to any length to corrupt the youth of a nation, at this time, when we are battling for the nations soul.

CPC and Buhari-Bakare have become a growing movement in Nigeria, social media and user generated content are an integral part of ensuring information dissemination beyond government controlled media. While CPC and General Buhari will not infringe on people’s intellectual property, WE WILL NOT SUCCUMB TO BLACKMAIL.

9ijaMan:

And here's what a true leader did when he led PTF

Of course I expect you guys to try to spin the info about the date as well. Does "bluelabs" own intellectual rights to the free versions available on YouTube too? Abeg answer o!
'cos if there is a free version on the internet, then bluelabs claims are at best very dubious.

In-no-cent:

[size=5]Seun has really tried![/size]
It's not always easy hiding what you are passionate about. For long, I have been waiting to know when he will break his silence, being fully aware that it's part of business ethics. He tried, but should have waited a bit.


Don't mind this foot soldier:
It only goes a long way to reveal how low these BDB and their supporters can descent just to convince us that they are Mr Right, even when it's clearly otherwise. Imagine people that frequently regard our humble president as "Clueless"? Yet you don't don't know "that free to use" is different from "free to reproduce".

^^^ You have already exposed PDP's lies on this thread.who knows maybe seun has been *compromised*,remember he owns nairaland and GEJ's camp knows that.Surely they won't just sit on their behinds without making moves to make nairaland PDP friendly.  

I am dissappointed but i guess nothing should surprise me anymore in Nigeria.On the issue at hand the story is very fake and i am glad you exposed their domain registration details.The bluelab guys are not very smart just like GEJ's camp.They just rushed to make a video and gave the game away when they included GEJ at the end of the video.If they were clamoring for transformation,why did they include GEJ's photo in 3 scenes   .Common bluelab not all Nigerians are d.af.t.You have should just made the video and shown nigeria's past leaders but you should not have shown GEJ because it made the video look like you were sending a message that GEJ should be elected as president,that move alone shows that your story is a big lie.

What worries me is the desperation of GEJ's camp to steal someone else's ideas.If these guys had this video ,they should show us a YOUTUBE video link CLEARLY indicating that the video was posted before Jan 2011 and maybe we will just believe their story.My advise to GEJ ,fire all these campaign strategist and advisers you have around you,i mean even sarah palin is doing better than you at the moment.

I am a specialist in the art of propaganda and mass deception,if you need my services you know where to find me.Mind you i dont come cheap because i use state of the art equipment.I have a team of 7 guys (2 think tank,2 hackers,1 writer ,1 webdesigner and 1 photographer) who are "battle tested".We will formulate fresh and intelligent ideas that will make even the hardcore BB folks love you.Like i said get rid of all this incompetent small boys and hire real professionals who can make the pope turn into an imam.By the way don't fire beaf,he may not be bright but he is loyal and can handle pressure.I will teach him new tricks that will enhance his manipulation skills ,besides we need him to get rid of his split personality issues because it has caused a lot embarrassment for your camp on NL
