No single borehole, no single school, no single book written, bla, bla, bla...........KnightsTempler, U are also begining to sound as desperate as jona. Common sense should tell uss that its the man who has served fr 6yrs we should ask to account fr all of these. As fr books written? How many has ur incompetent Phd-weilding jona written? With his Phd, what has he contributed to academic scholarship? I can see jona not just leaving Aso Rock but leaving Nigeria. He can't even go back to fishing in Otuoke!

Su-swine is not a governor, he is the Senior Personal Assistant to JEG! I am not disappointed at his being an embodiment of DISSAPOINTMENT!!

MY MIND, JUST MINE cos I won't, even if I CAN force anyone 2 agree with me. 1. The ex-leaders have a right to speak their mind and speak it where, when and how they choose 2.whether they are touts, thieves, or rapists, they remain opinion leaders, we have our individual wisdom to sieve sense out of their pronouncements and throw the rubbish away 3. Jonathan has the right to DEFENd his integrity, ours is to analyse whether his defence makes any sense or not 4. Given the nose-diving popularity of jona, with almost EVERYBODY who is SOMEBODY in the Nigerian political equation attacking him, his best move should be IMMAGE LAUNDERING not counter attack, learn from intelligent politicians like Obama, Mandela, Fashola. In d Nigerian context, attacking CERTAIN people is tantamount to political suicide 5. People attend political rallies for several reasons -curiosity, pick pockets, quick business, search for babes/guys (I met my wife @ a rally in 2007 nd we are happily married), contract as paid, etc 6. Its natural to refer back to what you achieved in the past, that's ur biggest nd most convincing selling point. That is why most of us expected jona to ignore his critics nd SIMPLY tell us his PHYSICAL achievements in 6yrs nd how much he expended in achieving same. Publish ALL the corruption reports and arrest the indicted persons (even if he let's dem loose, with compensation, after he wins the polls, its a game u know?) Tell us clearly, cos we aint dumb, WHY Sanusi was suddenly sacked immediately he made it VERY CLEAR that our money was missing. EXPLAIN in one sentence why ex-militants should be awarded security contract when we have so many security officers sleeping in the barracks. Tell us briefly, why a single ex-militant is allowed to import SO MUCH arms in the face of the present unprecedented security upheavals in the country-SIMPLICITA. If satisfied, I will canvass for votes for him, even with MY LIFE!

Was it not the same bomb blast MEND first warned people from going to the venue? FG dismissed it as an empty threat and went ahead with the event but after the bomb went off, this boy Jeg made a statement that 'my people' (MEND) could not have been responsible. According to him ''why would his people detonate bombs when something good has finally happened to better their lives"? Five years later, in his characteristic eternally confused manner, the same person has come out to say MEND tried to assasinate him. Most of us are by FAR too intelligent for this. Go tell this to the marines!

Let's vote wisely

His speech rather promoted GMB from all indications!

Listen to this intelligent analyst, Adekoya Boladale on .............................................. 'How Jonathan Killed His Good luck'
With a tension soaked atmosphere, the
Nigeria general election hits a countdown of
days as various political parties and
contenders continue to rally round for the
sympathy and votes of the electorates. Apart
from the federating states with rainbow like
contending parties, the presidential election
which seems to have gained more
international interest and attention is
arguably between the All Progressive
Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP).
Initially, many pundits in spite of the on-going
insurgency in the North East and unending
daily bashing of whatever is left of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s goodwill by the press
and the opposition believes the President may
pull this battle through and we were right in
making such calls as at then. Looking at the
factors that determine electoral victory,
President Jonathan as at November, 2014
was still doing well in the race. His
strongholds were still under his control. Public
perception (though battered, still share some
level of sympathy for him), the religion card,
coupled with his frequent visits to Jerusalem
and the apathy of voters' towards presidential
election were elements, if sustained could
have earned him victory.
Events in the past few weeks have however
shown clearly that the people with such
believe of President Jonathan's victory come
February 14, 2015 may have overestimated
the political exposure, determination and
goodwill of the President. From available facts,
President Jonathan seems to be suffering
from cerebral leukemia- a blockage of the flow
of reality to the brain, creating a delusional
image of popularity and acceptability, hence
decisions are irrationally taking without
recourse to pragmatic events.
Undoubtedly President Jonathan hasn't been
the best president in the history of the
country with unending allegations and
counter allegations of financial
misappropriations, downtrodden economy
and perpetual insecurity in the North East but
the zenith of this is his unholy charade with a
renowned poster boy of a military junta and
another captain of corruption who have
suddenly leveraged on the inept trait of the
president to take a sainthood form and
rewrite their narratives. This window created
by the president is unforgivable!.........
Let's save our energies for the polls cos with the poorest level of power supply now, only God knows ow many hrs we will queue up waiting fr an alternative power source fr the machines like we did in the last election.

The most interesting tin abt nigeria is the population of DAFT people and the ease wit which dey can b easily bamboozled! After so long, this incriminating revelation? Has anybody heared of 'planting incriminating evidence' before? What do you expect when a complainant doubles as the Judge? Why have those responsible not been arrested and prosecuted based on available evidence? Until this election takes place, from the look of things, I smell a plot to ensure it doesn't because despite the fact that Jona has disappointed me Physically, Mentally, Academically, Intellectually, Psychologically, Emotionally,Biologically, Logically, Zoologically, Politically, Administratively. Critically and otherwise, I know that he knows that he has already LOST the 2015 election!

Wao, so of all that is happening around, even though the giants of Africa is barely CRAWLING under this regime you still emphasise on the SIZE of the party? I can't wait to here what ACHIEVEMENTS with HOW MUCH jona will tell us about.

Pls, i want to ask a question that has been
baffling me as ave been ignoring this APC n PDP
threads.
Is certificate presentation a criteria for being an
eligible candidate for presidency?
If it is since Buhari's certificate cant be
presented, why cant he just be droped?
And if certificate submission is not a big deal, as
i can obviously see that amidst this certificate
ish, the buhari guy is still holding rallys
unperturbed.
Why are you NLers giving urself Blood pressure
with the certificate ish? Is there no due
process? Very good one here. Joblessness has realy caused Nigerians a lot. Why not discuss better issues, could ds be a sign of desperation? Certificates are just pieces of PAPER. Leadership is a SKILL that is either innate or acquired through experience or training.

The real drama has just begun here comes the end of TALK and the beging of ACTION. Noticeably, Muaz's speech @ the innauguration sounds hollow and unconvincing........."“PDP has a good candidate in the person of
President Goodluck Jonathan to sale to
Nigerians ahead of the elections.
“The product we have is a very good product
and it is easily saleable,” the PDP national
chairman said.
Jona himself sounded even less convincing......“Many of you are tested veterans of political
campaigns. As we embark formally on the
campaigns for our re-election, our party, the
People’s Democratic Party will depend on you. I
am also personally counting on you. I ask you
to take on this assignment for your great party,
for Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo, and
also, more importantly, for the country as a
whole" Well the man is counting on campaign veterans not the votes of Nigerians, to win the election. Best wishes as you GO!

I feel really disappointed each time some shallow minded people lay emphasis on the non-issues of SSCE cert and OIC. The person with the Phd has obviouly failed us woefully, meaning that it is not ALL about certificates. Repeating this all the time is begininng to make JEG supporters sound like broken record. I am a christian but hey, how does membership of IOC or otherwise matter? Is it more important than the missing NNPC billions? The impunity of reknowned militants? The reluctance of FG to fight BH? The impunity of former aviation minister under this unfortunate admin? The evacuation of our foreign reserves? And several other misfortunes. If u re fr JEG, tell us WHY we shd join u nd not WHY we should NOT support Buhari. Or aint u got any points?

It takes an ignoramus to promote an incumbent through attacks on opposition. Enlightened, honest people will only NAME the achievements of the incumbent, clearly define the plans for the next tenure, both short and long term, and allow the electorate to decide! Through social media, the level of political awareness has risen tremendously, beyond the wildest imagination of both the puppets and the puppeteers. Meanwhile, has the FG been able to "source for the N75bn required for the conduct of this "free and election yet? Or are will still at the level of "positive signal" so close to election date? Time is ticking away, ever so fast!! I am smelling a rat already, and the odour is very PUNGENT......

Thank God death doesn't know the difference between presidents and others. The guy should have told us what killed her. I pity Nigeria because this is another opportunity to recklessly spend our hard earned money!

No, this must be another WESTERN propaganda. I hope the whole country would not be over run before the gov admits that boko haram has by far better focus and strategy than the Nigerian Army!

mekaboy:
Just thinking aloud, will an imam from northern Nigeria accept to be running mate for a christian presidential candidate .

. Yet another IDIOTIC religion-based question. Nigerians, why can't we OBJECTIVELY consider ABILITY TO PERFORM as the bottom line? I am a christian, ok, in case u ar still in Primary School. How many christian presidential aspirants have approached a MALLAM to be their running mates, only for them to refuse?

bigt2:
this fuss about politics is good for the body o gej till buhari converts to Christianity

. Pls note that u r on ur own. No intelligent person is talking about religion now. The question now is WHO CAN DELIVER? While ur candidate as a christian is busy visiting churches, his opponent as a muslim is also visiting churches. Don't you guys have a single semi-slowpoke to tell Jona that though he is a Christian president, he is not the president of Christians? (CAN) What idiocy!! An intelligent aspirant should know that 1.as a christian he should focus his campaign on muslims for improved acceptability 2. The christian population in Nigeria is not CONVINCINLY enough to guarantee 2/3 majority votes! DIRECTLY to jona-the cronies u av surrounded ursef wt ar ur greatest undoing!

Hahahahaha! I love this 'Even guoodluck is against jonathan'. In as much as we ALL have our freedom of speech, some of us here are highly educated, some can only just manage to write bad English, some are very intelligent whiile others are hopelessly dull. All of these reflect clearly in our contributions, which makes the mixed grill most interesting. The ONE aspect that irks me is the mention of 'Igbo votes', 'Yoruba votes', 'Hausa votes', 'muslim votes', 'christian votes', etct. Hey, this is the computer (jet age), the 21st century! A vote is an INDIVIDUAL choice! If JEG (GEJ) were MY FATHER, I would not vote for him. But that is MY OPINION and I am entitled to it. It is the height of crass stupidity to assume that the whole of a particular religious or ethnic group would vote for a particular candidate because more than EVER before, Nigerians have gained overt political consciousness and as such, are more difficult to decieve now. Some, if not most of us, have gone by far beyond the shallow considerations of ethno-religious factors. I am behind any body can institute an egalitarian society, take a stand against corruption, ensure that employment into public service is by MERIT, university admission by merit, award of contract, merit. Where 400 million can be pumped into road construction instead of the purchase of a useless presidential jet, where the simulacrum between CORRUPTION and STEALING will be CLEARLY established, where the masses will have rice to eat ALWAYS (not expired rice shared during campaign), where 9.2 billion will NOT be used for the IPMORTATION OF STOVES! The list is endless, but this is my OPINION you too are entittled to yours!

No wonder he needs a new presidential jet! For the president of one of the poorest countries of 170 million population to budget 400 million for executive aircraft at such a moment? Well an achiever does not need such a squad. All he needs is to simply SHOW US his achievements, and he will easily win the election. Even if he uses the power of incubency and money/rigging to win, his name will remain in the guinness book of records as the worst president any country in the world has ever had!

'However, against the backdrop of Buhari’s
affidavit in court, a military source said ‘’that
the Army can not keep anybody’s original
certificate because it is the personal property
of the owner,’’ adding that such original
certificates were only needed at the point of
entry into the service.'. Ha, FEW days after? Were they asleep? A MILITARY source without a name? You mean the chief of defence or army staff? Is it the military sopkesperson? Did his parents forget to name him? And they have not sued the man? So they have the photocopies which of course are made from original copies? Which results did he submit the last three times he contested? This writeup is an insult to the collective sensibilities and sensitivities of educated nairalanders!

And once again, I regret being a Nigerian. Could there be any other country with so many dumb people? Instead of discussing ideas and critically examining gej's performance, people are wasting their breath on CERTIFICATES. As an intelligent person, I prefer giving my car to a good illiterate roadside mechanic to service rather than a professor of Mechanical Engineering! The boy with the highest IQ world wide has not seen the 4 walls of a university. Having certificates does not make one a good leader. Not having certificates does not make one a bad leader. Some people are naturally intelligent, my mum is a good example, she reasons,speaks and writes better than some Phd holder presidents, just a primary school leaver! You see, schooling some people is just a waste, like taking a monkey to England and back-it remains a monkey! I have noticed some common denominators in haters of GMB 1. They are totally SUBJECTIVE 2.they are retrogressive 3. They are shallow minded 4. They are the FIX IT kind of people who cannot survive in a normal competitive civil society! Hey for me, I don't need anybody to CONNECT me to a job because I can simply, casually pass any interview, any time. Neither me nor my children need to take SSCE in a miracle centre because to us exam is just a joke. We don't need to forge certificates because we can EARN them even while sleeping. This being the case, I cannot be a professional sycophant for survival. I cannot call a cow AUNTY just because I want to take nunu. The only think I want is GOOD LEADERSHIP which that of gej is a very FAAAAAAR CRY from.

What a shame! No wonder the whites still call us monkies and slaves!!

In my considered opinion,1.Has the military denied being in possession of Buhari's certificates? 2.why is the military mute over the allegation 3. Can Buhari lie against the military with impunity? 4. Could this be one of PDP's usual desperate and despicable political manoeuvres? 5. Is it possible for Buhari to have risen to the rank of General (acclaimed one of the best, by an independent international entity of no mean repute), without having an O'level certificate? 6. Is it not blatantly CHEAP to dwell on ordinary certificates when we know that paper qualification is DEFINITELY not enough to make a good leader? 7. Does gej's Phd make him a leader to reckon with? 8. Could Sambo have ACTUALY lost his certificates to fire?, when? Where? How? Mind you, in the case of FIRE one cannot make enquiries or maybe you should enter fire and ask it some questions! Nobody can LIE against the Nigerian military with impunity. The fact that they have not responded to the claim or delayed to respond to such a weighty claim should send the biggest slowpoke THINKING. For goodness sake, are some people so unfortunately daft? Chai!

FG deliberately recruiting enemies! What stops these frustrated guys from joining forces with the enemy camp or staging a coup

It irks me to observe that some Nigerians are still gullible enough to be so easily hoodwinked and bamboozled by inconsequential desperate opportunists like Kayode. This boy is just a purchasable professional nonentity for all he is worth! I think he is worse than an unrepentant prostitute. So some people still listen to him? Its unfortunate. For goodness sake, in a democracy, a single person (or person-like being as is the case here) cannot declare that a contestant WILL NOT win an election. How many votes is he entitled to? Ok, so they will do EVERYTHING to stop Buhari? I really do feel ashamed of this pathetic umbriddled personification of consistent inconsistency! Little wonder he was described thus: "With Fani-Kayode, one finds it difficult
differentiating between the definitions of
consistency and inconsistency. Both words find
meaning in the character of Fani-Kayode. Once
he is inconsistent, another time he is consistent.
He’s inconsistent in talking from both sides of the
mouth, but consistent in the goal his
doublespeak seeks to achieve. “I must talk my
way into this government” seems to be his
objective before he sets out to criticise any
administration. He is simply consistently
inconsistent!" In my considered opinion, if I were his child (God forbid, that's if he has been able to father one), I would disown him out rightly!

Loko-Oweto road/bridge is NOT in progress, I just came from there. Please lie HONOURABLY

After reading ALL 1. Its not d first time this boy is promising to DEAL with these issues and the people involved, though he has never. 2. All other promises are a repetition 2.Privatisation of PHCN is NOT SUCCESSFULL cos we still don't have power supply but electricity bill is on the increase 4. I don't like people telling me they CAN SWIM, I like to see them SWIMING 5. Whenever the mention of baboons nd blood, whatever is made, any monkey who makes d reference should also balance it with Asari Dokubo's. Jonathan MUST WIN, INFACT has ALREADY WON . I passionately hate sentiments, hey my immediate uncle is right in the presidency, but I can't become a sycophant and survive on handouts! I can't speak for anybody but myself. What I want of our leadership-1. Fight corruption eg try Stella Oduah, try Deizani, don't pardon Alam, don't give a criminal like Asari and Tompolo security contracts when we have a military and paramilitary on ground2. For goodness sake cut down politicians salary and the number of slowpoke aides and allowances they have-why a Doyen Okukpe and a Reuben Abatti? Why have time to answer every critique instead of facing serious business?? 3.Explain In clear terms why Sanusi was sacked IMMEDIATELY after he stated clearly that money was MISSING. 4. Where are the reports of (a) boko haram sponsorship (b)NNPC missing billions (c)The aviation saga inclusive of the two bullet proof BMWs (d)the missing pension funds 5. How com civilians had to be sent to purchase weapons for the military? 6. How come the Federal Govt could not easily get weapons to purchase but one BUSH BOY could VERY EASILY import warships from Norway? 7. How come the IGP had to withdraw the speakers security aides and declare his seat vacant and even go on to bar him from entering his office and nothing happened? The questions are too numerous to mention. If Jona wins by all means, fine, if I was able to tolerate him for 6yrs, I think I can still tolerate him for 4. As for me, Buhari definitely is not the BEST but juxtaposed agaist Jona, I prefer him (BUHARI) ten Zillion times, I hate ineptitude and double standard!!!

Chai, so ds boy is still alive and making noise? I thought he died in that his collapsed building ooo.

Ha, its like this Jelly Fish just woke up from slumber! Aminister is talking abou arres when IG police and the host of security details are minding teir biz!! Oya, go ahead and arrest the man that 'arranged' for your benefactor to get into an office he is OBVIOUSLY not qualified to hold na
