PDP + APC = Same politicians. Fifteen years ago, the Nigerian president and his wife enjoyed their healthcare in European hospitals; today, the Nigerian president and his wife enjoy healthcare in European hospitals. And none of APC governors past or present go to foreign hospitals,huh? Arrant nonsense. 5 Likes |

I can't even imagine the campaign stratedy PDP and the daft one intend to run on. From the north to the west to the central and to some reasonable and patriotic Nigerians in the east and south, those who like him amongst them feels because he has appointed ministers from their tribe, he is a christain and not of hausa/fulani stock hence that's enough performance/reason for them to vote him again. the worst thing to have ever happened to Nigeria was the emergence of jonaTAN as a president in this country. Is there no mirror in Aso Rock for him to see himself as epitomizing uselessness and daftness. A failure without compere. Ordinary Tompolo warned him not to turn up in Asaba and like the true son of a useless person he is, he never turned up. How do we get stuck with this mumu and chicken hearted leader in this age? Who are the people shouting and wishing this feebleminded jellyfish continue to rule the nation? Can't wait for december to come so I can come home to mobilise to sweep this inept, corrupt, useless and shameless government out after 16years of holding the Nation to ransom. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

We all knew that for two years as governor of bayelsa.....He kept giving excuses how he was only continuing the job his predecessor started blah blah As acting president of Nigeria he couldn't even stand up to Turai Yaradua and her cohorts in the same ASO rOCK I don't expect him to to stand up to shekau..... just 3days ago Tompolo threatned the president and nothing happened instead the president chickend out and didn't go to warri I also wait for information...on why the first lady is sick and goes to Germany for treatment with all the wonderful transformation agenda going on isn't it a shame that Ifeanyi Ubah a leading subsidy thief is sponsoring TAN I don't know what is going on but im scared for my country we have lost our morals our values and now our hope isn't it a shame that some of us here still think we are on the right part 11 Likes 2 Shares |

OAUTemitayo: I think Nigeria will surely reject the PDP. Jonathanians and TANdroids forget that GEJ totally and comprehensively shattered all the preconceived notions Nigerians held on to while the PDP ,over many years, plundered the nation i.e "e go better if we are rid of the old boys". That was precisely the sentiments GEJ benefited from in 2011. Nigerians know precisely what the PDP is but they voted for GEJ because of the belief that a 'young' and educated man who was from a poor background,with nothing at all to do with the past and the military, indicated the best hope for the deliverance of Nigeria. This simplistic thinking has now been overwhelmingly and emphatically discredited by the monumental corruption, anti-people mien, oligarchic elitism and misrule of GEJ. Now we all have overwhelming proof that the making of a great and pro-people leader has zilch to do with education, age, being born poor and from a minority ethnic group or having nothing to do with the military. If anything GEJ has proven that the 'new generation' could be greater thieves with a more callous readiness to serve the interest of the elite and private jet Oligarchs while ignoring average Nigerians. The PDP has no fresh product to sell and no decent report card to run on. Ethnocentric, prejudiced, anti-Nigerian and vengeful folks will do their best to support GEJ but I think this election , if the opposition get's it strategy right, will show these enemies of progress that Nigerians who are normal and simply desire a nation that works are far more than them numerically. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Gbawe:Sir, i can't even afford to waste another year at home due to the apparent dishonesty of GEJ. He signed an agreement with ASUU since last year, yet he has not fulfilled a single of those promises he made to them in the agreement. My power is my vote and my ability to effectively mobilise my father,mother, siblings and friends to vote out GEJ. I will do everything humanly and Godly possible to ensure that Jonathan lose woefully in such a way that he would even find it difficult to rig or go to any tribunal. I am going to campaign vigorously to my people here at home on why Jonathan cannot be trusted with another four years of steering the wheels of this nation. I can't stand another ASUU strike. Therefore Jonathan must go.. 8 Likes 1 Share |

OAUTemitayo: That's the spirit. God bless and strenghten you. It is your own future and that of children unborn you must fight for. Nigerians were seriously disenchanted with the PDP at the centre even 1n 2011. The "boy with no shoes" held hope because of what they claimed he is i.e man who is from the same ghetto as the masses and is , in theory, the best choice to side with and fight for what is in the best interest of the common man. Now Nigerians know they have been scammed same as you are angry at all the unfulfilled promises GEJ made to your particular interest group. "The only thing constant in life is change" and I believe Nigerians, a people forever hopeful of a bright future, will embrace change in 2015 as they did in 2011. The PDP bus has reached its last bus stop and all passengers have gotten off the bus of poverty, corruption, private jet elitism and anti-people wickedness. 6 Likes 1 Share |

in 2011, majority of the people went to the polls saying 'we are voting for jonathan and not the pdp' they didn't know that jonathan and the pdp were one in flesh and in blood. Come 2015, that same majority will reject jonathan and the pdp. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Ofunaofu: This is the simple truth TANdroids do not wish to accept. The "fresh air" and "boy with no shoes" ruse are now universally discredited catch-phrases. When was the last time anyone used "fresh air" and GEJ in the same sentence. Little things like that tell a lot about how Nigerians are thinking. GEJ is now another part of our failed history that must be relegated to the past so that a new leader can get the chance to deliver the change Jonathan has emphatically shown he does not represent. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The thought process of many Nigerians, especially the rural dwellers, was bogged by illiteracy in the past but now the problem has been compounded by acute poverty and ethno-religious bigotry occasioned by the Jonathan administration. Sadly, this highly inflammable brand of politicking seems to be gaining traction even amongst the learned effectively relegating critical considerations such as socio-economic indices, which are indicators of the welfare of the citizens and the major yardstick upon which to measure the performance of an administration, to the backstage. A friend invited me once to a church. I attended fellowship there, really enjoyed the service and decided to attend the following sunday on my own volition. Towards the end of his sermon, the pastor then went on a scaremongering spree, "cautioning" the congregation as to the dangers of having a muslim in Aso Rock!! That was the last time I ever attended that church!! We can ill afford to make the mistake we made (not me though) in 2011. If we don't get it right in 2015, then we can as well kiss this country goodbye. 7 Likes |

Sonala Olumhense is always an erudite, truthful, factual, and non-sentimental writer. This write-up is no different, and I do agree with it. By the way, this is the first instance of his writings that I know of, in which Sonala would be direct in a belief that PDP could actually be voted out of power. He's always taciturn. That says a lot, in my book. It, in fact, makes one more hopeful. In addition, I do expect the leaders of opposition to the PDP at ALL levels – especially at the Federal level – to effectively mobilize and organize the people to go out there and vote; and for the INEC to try all that's humanly possible and make every legitimate vote – from ALL sides – to count. Those will constitute the stuff of which the beginning of a true political evolution in Nigeria shall be made. P34c3 ..... ... 3 Likes 1 Share |

Frankly speaking,majority of Nigerians are fed up with the PDP and their leadership in the country. Nigerians,truly desire change;they're tired of the many problems bedeviling this Nation presently. They're tired of lack feasible positive impacts of the lives of Nigerians in a country with so much potentials to be one of the top 5 best countries in the world. They're tired of stories and long tales of propaganda without any positive reflection in the country. Day by day,apart from the menace of BH people in the north,people die due to serious lack of security in the country. They're tired of lack of basic amenities and infrastructure; they're tired of the whole rotten system. It now seems that the ray of hope lies in the hand of the opposition and how they play their politics. Will they(opposition) field in someone who's visionary and detribalized? Will they present someone who will not be seen as a Religion fanatic and don't risk been seen as not serious and credible enough? Will they sensitize the grass root masses like the OP pointed out? The ball indeed lies in their court at this point of the Nation's history. 3 Likes |

duwdu: Very bright observation. It is even obvious that Olumhense , in testimony to the neutrality and objectivity he is known for, cannot even directly endorse the APC. What he is absolutely sure of is that the PDP has to make way for another Party so Nigeria gains change from the current status quo which is literally as low as we can sink. Anyone who knows Olumhense, as you clearly do, will realise this article is stronger,more direct and more ideologically resolute than most of his other writings we have read. Olumhense ire against the PDP is typical of what most neutral and objective Nigerians believe to be the case currently. I.e "PDP must go" for Nigeria to make progress. 15 years is far more than enough indulgence of a grossly failed ruling Party. 5 Likes 1 Share |

These writers should do a comparison of 15 years of PDP VS any other timeline in Nigeria. Talk is cheap, present us with empirical data. Let's see what Nigeria was, that PDP destroyed. By the way, PDP will win a landslide victory, only ediots will bet against this reality. 1960-1979 1979-1999 1999-2015 2 Likes 1 Share

patrickmuf: Indeed. what is clear is that Nigerians have indulged the PDP for long enough. In most Countries of the world ,where the electorate is focused only on receiving effective leadership, ruling Parties are voted out as soon as their tenure is up which is 4 years in most cases. Nigerians have given the PDP 16 years amounting to 4 tenures of 4 years. That is simply more than enough time, when everything has remained comatose or even worse as Olumhense points out, to conclude a nation must have change. |

Intellectual write-ups are good but they don't win elections. Most people who spend their time "forecasting" how the electorates would vote online have never campaigned for candidates to their immediate families. We have one vote but this election would be determined by: The man whose bike was seized and is struggling to cater to his 4children in the university and 3kids in secondary school The son who backed his ailing mother to the hospital and watch how she was being treated less than human by the government nurses -The market men and women whose stalls were demolished -The residence who rejoiced when boreholes were sunk but water is yet to be fetched from the government tap -The worker who is forced to wake 4:30am to beat the morning rush due to bad roads & traffic; also he gets home 11pm every working day This election would be the voice of the people...go get your PVC and start the change / continuation of what you want. 4 Likes 1 Share |

pendy79: Bro, we are used to this sort of abuse of power. It is the Nigerian way after all. We are a people, despite conventional education, still emotionally and democratically immature. The notion of behaving in a just and equitable manner always is not something some Nigerians are ready to accept let alone live by. This is one of the reason the poor and disenfranchise do not currently have a voice or strong representation in Nigeria. The Nigerian elite, in positions of influence same as the mods and the owner of Nairaland enjoy, abuse their powers and use it to intolerantly muzzle the wishes, opinion, voices and aspirations of the Nigerian people. I accept what Nairaland is and you will notice I am never found complaining here. This is because I know that the supporters of GEJ who run this forum will never prevent future development that are meant to be. GEJ is a terrible President Nigerians want to see the back of. The discriminatory antics of Nairaland administrators will not change anything. |
