Chai my people. So handing out bedsheets and few books is now seen as a big achievement of Buhari for the south east?

I trust ndigbo not to fall for pettiness

So we are now comparing ptf chairman in 1997 and 1998 to president of nigeria 2010 to20114.....isnt it a shame......

Let me talk the one wey concern me

What were the achievments of gej as governor of bayelsa state?

Buhari was PTF chairman from 1994 to 1999. He had billions of naira (possibly running into trillions in today's naira value) to work with. He had no civil servants to pay salaries or states to give allocations, all he was asked to do with all that money was to embark on projects.
What were the projects he sited in the South east?

Obiagelli:

Wise words again gbawe. These lies are just to blatant to ignore at times.

I know but you must draw comfort and strength from the reality on the ground which shows Nigerians are no longer listening to these lies. Remember they lied that Atiku will defeat Buhari at the just concluded APC primaries? Remember they published articles lying Atiku had the support of 66% of the APC delegates to the extent many APC supporters came here worrying? Did I not insist it was all lies and that Buhari will win convincingly and through a landslide endorsement by APC delegates? Did they not say the SW will not vote for Buhari and would prefer the "moderate" and "well-prepared" Atiku who had run "the most efficient and impressive" campaign of all the candidates? How then do we interpret the reality of how SW delegates, culled from the ordinary people of the region, went to Teslim Balogun Stadium to give Buhari 100% of their votes?

Believe me my dear when I say these people are scared. Reality is starring them in the face. Their lies and scaremongering are not working any more on a people totally fed up of the ultra-corrupt, totally inept and brazenly anti-people current occupant of Aso Rock. Nigeria is now firmly mired in sleaze, corruption, criminality, terrorism and general insecurity of lives and property. This is what Nigerians are fed up of and looking for deliverance from.

We will soon enter a phase of campaigning. It will be imperative to face our own role of promoting the APC and GMB as best as we can. Doing this will exclude paying attention to desperate mischief-makers devoted to telling lies Nigerians are no longer willing to listen to let alone believe. If OP and his kind wants to say Buhari did nothing for the SW let him stay here all day doing so. Nigerians know the truth and the people of the region he is targeting with his deceitful thread already know who they will vote for. The horrible and wasted 5 years of GEJ has made their minds up and the OP's desperate efforts to malign Buhari is nothing but an exercise in futility.

CaptainOjemba:
Lolzx you can do better dear, doing it shows that u truely want buahari as president, doing it will also draw more followers from the southeast to him, doing it will also boost his image across the geopolitical zones cos Igbos are everywhere.

go ahead and vote for Jonathan! No one is begging deluded minds like you for votes. Igbos who really desire for change will vote for Buhari.

Well said sir.

How Buhari Skewed PTF Projects in Favor of His Northern Zone- By Afenifere

The Abacha regime created a parallel government through the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) headed by Major General Muhammed Buhari. Nothing else typifies the marginalization of the Yoruba than the lopsidedness of the projects carried out by the PTF. Figures from PTF Situation Reports (Vol. 2 Dec. 98) show that the PTF carried on as if there was no South West.

Of all the roads rehabilitated by the PTF, only 1984.5 kilometres of roads representing 10.84 per cent were carried out in the South West; from where the bulk of the PTF revenue came since the zone consumes over 60 per cent of refined petroleum products. All the Southern States had 4,440.43 kms or 24 per cent of road rehabilitation as against 13,870.47 kms or 76 per cent in the Northern States zone three comprising the North-West States of Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara had a lion share of 5020 kms or 27.42 per cent because the Fund’s Chairman, Buhari and the military dictator Sani Abacha were from there; zone four comprising the North-East States of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe picked 23.48 per cent. This is the zone where Salihijo Ahmed, the late Chief Executive of Afri-Project Consortium APC, the sole consultants that supervised all PTF projects came from.

Figures in other sectors were more scandalous. For instance, under the National Health and Educational Rehabilitation Programme (NHERP), the South West had zero allocation in the tertiary programme, while the North picked 100 per cent. In the vocational programme, the South West had zero while the North had 97 per cent. In the primary area, the South-West had zero against 88 per cent for the North and in the secondary area, it was zero for the South-West and 86 per cent for the North.

The health sector is similar. For the Teaching Hospitals, the South-West had zero while the North had 62 per cent. For the Specialist Hospitals, it was zero for the South-West and 71 per cent for the North; in General/State Hospitals the Yoruba had nothing while the North had 56 per cent for health clinics, it was zero for the South-West against the North’s 100 per cent.

Under the food supply summary, the Southwest had 7.26 per cent compared with 83 per cent for the North, Buhari’s zone having 60.54 per cent to itself.

Demographic Manipulation: The Northern wielders of power have skewed all demographic indicators to marginalise the Yoruba and confer undue advantage on the North. For instance, while the old Kano and Lagos used to have the same number of divisions, various demographic manipulations over the years have brought about absurd disparities between the two states. While the old Lagos remains a state with 20 local governments, the old Kano has become two states-Kano and Jigawa with 77 local governments. These are some of the indices used for revenue sharing.

The retorts coming from Buhari's supporters on this thread (Turning the argument into an attack on Jonathan instead of stating what their general has done) is exactly the same reason these uncouth vagabonds will lose once again on February.
Let's watch.

Obiagelli:

Past presidents? Who built all the roads in the southeast? Was it gej?

Who built the Enugu airport? Was it gej?

The universities, hospitals and schools, who built them? Was the south east a desert before gej, and what exactly has gej done in the south east

List what your general has done for the South-East with concrete proof and stop trying to derail by calling GEJ.
You people are so empty and uncouth with your arguments and you still wonder why your general constantly loses elections.

If Buhari did anything for the East, surely, it can't be hard to find.
List out those achievements or quietly get out of the thread, you nuisance.

banki:

Let me talk the one wey concern me

What were the achievments of gej as governor of bayelsa state?

No pro- GEJ, pro- PDP or tan has an answer to this

berem:
even if Buhari built a second Nigeria bridge as the PTF chairman and renovated the enugu airport,you will still not vote for him because you have been brainwashed with sentiments and hatred against the General. Go ahead and vote for the Otuoke clueless drunk your single vote against Buhari would not stop him from occupying Aso Rock next year.

Stop making assumptions and tell me exactly what he did?
Why are you all crying now? When you guys kept asking what GEJ has done for the South east you didn't know that one day the question will turn right back at you.
You said Igbos shouldn't vote GEJ because of the bad state of some federal roads in the South east, but you cannot tell us one single road your coup plotter general built or maintained as Head of state or PTF chairman.
Shame.

CaptainOjemba:
u dey mind that ewu

Why are you guys quoting those paid agents, people that have not cross their region and they believe they know us more than we know ourself, that is why they sound silly, if you what to do professional work for your master kindly enter flight or bus to east and help yourself out backup with pictures or videos that is how is done in western nations not hiding under-bridge and be typing nonsense.

Gbawe:




Obiagelli, Berem, Chamboy et al, do you guys see the typical response you get when you waste your time trying to provide serious responses to the mischievous and deceitful questions posed by hardened ethno-religious bigots who will always be driven by their own prejudice and parochial agenda?

Even if Jesus came to show that Buhari did very well for the entire Nigeria in the little time he had, to the extent evidence of that is still amply visible today, you will still have unrepentant bigots who will remain disinterested while fervently shouting"GEJ till 3030" on behalf of a failed leader who has done nada for any corner of our nation in 5 years.

Please, what are those achievements Buhari had in the South-East? Cite them, please.
Don't try to derail.

Kenai:

Jlow2:
i guess u have not used that airport since the upgrade was done, they repainted it and tagged it international airport , i dnt think ethopian airline landed der more than trice, ibos re not that dump, there is no formal contracts as regards to 2nd river niger bridge , julius berger was sent der after gej visited obi of onitsha earlydis year and he was bold enough to remind him he failed the ibos,am not talkin abt the enugu- onitsha exp or enugu portharcout exp way or the onitsha seaport, i and my family re voting buhari, gej is a disaster,i cant sell my conscience at d detriment off the innocent unborn generations.

Could you tell us one single road your Buhari built in the South-East?
Whether you like it or not, we shall remain on topic, and no attempt at derailment will save you internet howlers.
LIST his achievements in the South-East and why Igbos should vote him over Jonathan, or simply look for the exit door and get out of the thread.

Please my people, the next time any South westerner asks you what Jonathan did for the south east to warrant our support, don't bother trying to list anything. Just ask them what Buhari did for the South west as head of state and PTF chairman and watch them fumble and tumble.
This is what they call ''setting the cat among the pidgeons''.

he couldn't even account for the fund and you expect him to do something for southeast?

fun my funny

Awon deluded souls

Gbawe:


Simple !!! This is the message I am trying to get across to you APC and GMB supporters. With work to be done, why waste time entertaining those who only crave your indulgence in their silly games they think they can disguise as an 'objective' discussion? See how quickly the chap you quote unravelled as an ethnocentric bigot who is talking of "enemies of Ndigbo" when, as Nigerians, we should simply be focused on seeking leaders who will set this potentially great nation on the path of progress.

There is nothing at all to be gained taking ethnocentric and prejudiced folks seriously. They have already made up their mind to vote along ethnic and religious lines. These people are in the gutter already. Don't join them there and don't dignify their silliness with your serious responses they have no interest in.Nothing you show them about Buhari matters a jot to the hardened bigots. Save your serious and analytically informative responses for serious threads and progressive posters.

Please, I personally am not here for ethnocentric babbles, but to be educated on the wonderous performance of your hardworking, upright and saintly general.

Tell us what he did for the South-East in all his 6 years as PTF chairman as well as his 1.5 years as Head of State.
Constantly, we have witnessed the attempts by the GMB camp to blackmail Igbos into abandoning Jonathan (oooh, it wasn't "ethnocentric" then) because according to them "GEJ did nothing for the Igbos".
But now the questions we ask you political geniuses are...
1. What did Buhari do for the South-East in all his 6 years as PTF chairman and almost 2 years as Head of State?

2. With the answers to (1) above, what, in your opinion, makes him a better option to the South-Easterners?

You only expose your disastrously poor intelligence when you try to run away from the topic by citing "Ethnocentric motives" which only linger in your own guilty conscience.

Please, we await your answers.
Feel free to Google while you're at it too.

Awon deluded souls

Speaking the truth is now delusional to you abi? The truth is indeed bitter. All you need to do is to tell us why the South Easterners should vote for Buhari instead of GEJ based on leadership impact on the region.

Awon deluded souls

sadly and unfortunately! They have made up their minds to vote for the Otuoke clown. No need for the back and forth arguments. As for me and my family,we will vote for Buhari.

why are u abusing me? I am not a jeg supporter neither are my an apc supporter, I am just a neutral guy out there. My question again is for you to list and provide the pictures of what buhari did in the southeast as u alleged.

Collynzo9:

I'm not even surprised.
They're just as dumb as their god who plans to diversify the economy by "deploying the Army, Navy and Airforce". Not my words!

Lolx nwanne iji okwu.

berem:
So true! There were PTF textbooks in all unity schools in Nigeria and some state government schools too. Buhari might not have done much on roads in the southeast but he did well in education and health.

PTF apparently did not build roads in the SE because it allowed itself to become a victim of the typical malaise plaguing the political landscape of the SE. Their politicians hijack all government contracts and embezzle the fund without qualms. It happens in other regions but the SE case is very pathetic because little or nothing will be done. The masses, themselves, do not care because of the believe that material success is divine no matter the manner it was achieved. I lived and worked in Enugu throughout the PTF era. Up until 2005 the effects of its intervention were still being felt especially in UNTH. On the issue of road construction the people should hold Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu responsible because he was the highest ranking Abaca apologist in that era and, as such, enjoyed a lot of patronage by way of ffederal contracts. He was allegedly awarded the contract for the Enugu-PH road but ended up doing a 'shovel and head pan job'.

Your family is already voting GMB as you said. Then, what the hell are you still doing on this thread? Or are you just jobless and looking to boost your post count?

Please, give us concrete evidence that Buhari and his PTF ever attempted to work in the East or shut your smelly mouth.
If this your own attempt at debating issues and winning a South-Eastern electorate, then you're even dumber than your BuhaRETARD.

Rawani:


You forgot to add the recently commissioned second Niger bridge, the dualized Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway which he delivered as promised, as well as the long completed dredging of the River Niger.

My brother these disgruntled element called APC goons will never listen and appreciate until the reality of Jonathan's emergence dawned on them come FEBRUARY 15, 2015

can you go thru my previous post, am all for good governance, that's why am campaigning for Alex Otti in Abia cos am after the betterment of Ndi Abia. As an Aba boy its an obligation to support good governance. I am from Enugu n I will support what is good for Ndi Enugu. National politics I am out of it. I don't have much interest.

Whatever she does is none of your business. The constitution guarantees her the freedom to associate and to air her opinion to a reasonable extent and I don't think she has exceeded the limit.
