Aksonman: Bros you can lie o! It seems you don't buy things online that's why you're saying rubbish. From N167 to a dollar, it has increased to N195 and you're saying prices haven't increased. Nigeria is a country that imports a lot of consumer electronics, there's no way the price will not have increased. |

I would have voted GEJ for: 1. 2nd Niger Bridge: I was in Onitsha less than 3 wks ago and would like to be educated where that project is sited and how long ago contractors were mobilized to site; the cost of the project and financing arrangement; the amount so far spent and what year it was appropriated for? 2. His expert handling of the economy:His defence of the free-falling naira; his burgeoning savings in the foreign reserves; the evidences of his works with savings from fuel pump price increment funnelled into the SURE-P; a resort to obtaining loans for fighting terrorism when a simple supplementary appropriation would suffice he had money saved up. 3. For the numerous scams that have taken place under his watch without a notable indictment; for the state pardon granted previously convicted criminals by Okupe's Jesus Christ. 4. For maintaining a conspiratorial silence while over 15,000 citizen are slaughtered in a relative 'peace time' while he swore to be responsible for the security and welfare of citizens. But as I no like better thing so, I go ote Buhari/APC |

This man GEJ loves nigeria and his people so much that was why he resigned as the president of ecowas just to focus only on nigerian problems, gej is maintaining true democracy thats why poeple can be able to carry placards to the gorverment house to protest and the police or army would not attack em, and someone can also go to d press and write many rubish agaist the gorvernment,and the security angents would not track him or her down and arrest him, some one can even trow stones and satchet waters to the president's convoy and he would not order his security to retaliate. Everybody know that u cant try those things in buhari or anyother person's regime even obasanjo, just imagen what happened to fella kuti. Poeple should think. 2 Likes |

I will vote GEJ because 1. He is an ingrate. Tunde Bakare and his save Nigeria Group mounted pressure on the govt that brought him to power yet his advisers and security operatives have intimidated and threatened members of the group. 2. He is a threat to democracy. We were protesting peacefully when he rolled out tanks to disperse us at ojota during the oil subside removal saga. 3.He is against freedom of press. Media houses that reported their sides about the chibok girls were accused of breaching protocols and shut down. 4. He is lawless. How can Fayose a member of his party sack more than half of the house of reps members, sent thugs to beat up a judge under his nose and nothing was done. 5. He is corrupt. James Ibori was not found guilty in Nigeria but he is facing sentence in the UK. He even granted pardon to Alameiaigha, the gov that plundered bayelsa state. 6. He is corrupt again. How can you appoint the wife of an ex convict Olabode George who milked NPA as chairman NDLEA. 7. He has no clue. Will he hold PHCN accountable after donating to his campaign funds? 8. He has no value for education. Under his watch polytechnics and universities went on very long strike. 9. He listens to children. It took little Malala from Pakistan to convince him to see parents of the kidnapped chibok girls. 10. He is educated. He publicly declared stealing is not corruption and corruption is not stealing.

i will vote GEJ since APC which i was supporting before because of my favourite man fashola and d best person in APC was not chosen instead they allow tribal sentiment to cover age, education and integrity f actor which fashola has. 2. GEJ might have not done much but buhari is never an alternative in dis mordern time. he cant speak fluently, has a strong local accent. 3. despite GEJ short coming i still prefare him because he has performed in some areas like agriculture, education, allowing full participation of any company in generation of electricity, again..., uwin....i hope to win dis year....and many more. 1 Like |

sammhi: Fair point!! But can you tell me what your definition of education is, a piece of paper? According to what I've read, Buhari attended 3 prestigious military colleges in India, US & UK which should be equivalent to or even higher than a Nigerian degree, isn't that true? What separates your "educated" current president & his wife from the average illiterate on the street (a quick google search revealed patience Jonathan is a graduate of University of Port Harcourt & was once a teacher lol..) How has your "educated" President been able to apply his doctorate towards effective leadership of the country? If you can answer these questions, perhaps I will understand where you're coming from. 2 Likes |

I am sure God hates it when a particular group of people think that it is their birth right to rule over others.

Re: Why I Will Vote for GEJ by Guk: 11:33am On Jan 27, 2015 |
1. For the consolidation of our democracy. It is an undeniable fact that under the watch of GEJ, Nigeria democracy has grown from a near one party state to a two major political parties state, just like the US. The opposition parties (APC, APGA, CPC, ACN, labour party, accord, etc)have won more elections under GEJ than at any other time in the history of Nigeria. This is actually good for our democracy because it will allow for checks and balances and more competition in the long run. A democracy without proper Political Education is ZERO and it is very apparent that we lack political education as a nation evident in the political prostitution of elected office holders and total lack of ideology or articulated positions of all political actors. And you make it sound as if PDP is doing the other parties a favour by them winning 1 or 2 states. Unfortunately, GEJ himself lacks political education t4, he cannot give what he doesnt have. 2. For the regime of free and fair election to be continued and consolidated in my country. For me, the greatest corruption is rigging and stealing of electoral mandate. GEJ has restored sanity to our electoral system so much so that the chorus amongst politicians these days is that their supporters should arm themselves with PVC for the election day. Therefore, my dear country has joined the league of advanced democracies where the voters card is a potent weapon. It was not so before. Before, in this same country, the voters card was useless. Before now, results of elections were written before election day. Obviously, the definition of sanity here is biased as there is absolutely no sanity in our electoral process. INEC has failed woefully and the head should have been sacked since for incompetence. Voter registration has been shoddy (Anambra State election was rigged by a totally messed up electoral register) & today as we speak, can you equate the anxiety and high blood pressure we are experiencing in order to obtain our PVC as Sanity moreover, INEC had 4 years to plan for this election and had Anambra; Edo; Ekiti & Osun to practise and perfect the art but they have failed. I am one of the 1.8million registered voters in Lagos whom INEC claimed our data was corrupted a few months ago. Till today, it hasnt been resolved but the simple question is, why cant INEC go back to our initial registration and use the data to verify us and give us our PVC. Jega should have been fired for incompetence 3. For the free and vibrant press that we currently enjoy to continue The free and vibrant press today even though they are all compromised is simply due to Social Media. Social Media has compelled the press in Nigeria to follow their leading as its difficult to go the other direction when Social media is supporting their own story with pictures 4. For work on the Second Niger Bridge to continue and be completed. Whether the enemies of progress like it or not, whereas in the last 30 years NOTHING was done about that very important bridge, in the last 4 years (2011 to 2015) and under the regime of GEJ, work has started on the Second Niger and very importantly, PROGRESS has been made. From nothing, the bridge was designed, contract awarded to a reputable construction giant (Julius Berger), preliminary works was started and completed, compensation that amounted to over #1 billion was paid to those with properties in the right of way and real construction work commenced on site. When you move from nothing to do all of that in 4 years, that is my definition of PROGRESS. I will vote for that progress to continue. Congrats on the 2nd Niger Bridge but refering back to lack of Political Education. We do not question the cost of these contracts. We are too easy to please by the things we see whilst they smile to the bank with the things we do not see (e.g. Paying out Trillions of =N= on Fuel Subsidy when fraction of it would have built a couple of refineries) 5.For ongoing works on various federal highways, especially those in the southeast to be continued and completed. Especially, the Enugu-Onitsha, Enugu-PH, Benin-Ore and Lagos-Ibadan roads. Except for maybe Gowon, I don't think any other past govt can match the record of GEJ in the road sector in the last 4 years. And the quality of work has been great. I will vote for that to continue. Same as my response for item 4. Please vote for the waste to continue. Are we not all in the economic mess together now where our National account is totally empty and we cannot meet our obligations? 6. For the reforms and revival of the railways to continue. The achievements of this govt in the railway sector has been impressive. The govt is not only restoring the narrow gauge lines that was allowed to rot away by past govt, they are also building brand new standard railways and the Abuja light rail. I will vote for that to continue. IMPRESSIVE We seriously need the aid of a dictionary here. 30hour Journey by train from Lagos to Kano is IMPRESSIVE Enugu to PHC in 7hours is IMPRESSIVE Are you aware that Trillions of Naira has bn spent to this so called railway transformation & you boldly say you shall vote for that to continue 7. Under this govt, we have seen very innovative policies and programmes that work on ground (not paper), such as YOUWIN, SURE-P, e-wallet for farmers, etc. I will vote for continuity of govt programmes that have been tested and trusted. YOUWIN, SURE-P are just conduit pipes of wastage. As for YOUWIN, well executed but poorly conceived. I would rather provide incentive to existing SME's who have experience in whatsoever they do that will enable them to take on more employees who will learn under them before launching out. What you have done with YOUWIN is to give people grants (free money) and thrown them into the same overwhelming turbulent Oceans of lack of electricity etc that is presently killing existing SMEs SURE-P should never have been instituted as there should not have been a need for it as the Subsidy itself is a big Scam 8. I will vote for the ongoing revolution in the agriculture sector to continue. [b]I actually want to believe that there is a revolution in agriculture but the only thing we here is "we killed corruption in fertilizer distribution" Where are the revolution in Storage Faclities?? In Animal Husbandry and so on and so forth as agric is not abt fertilizer alone. There is also too much manipulation of information that has exposed them (1) It is claimed we have 6 million rice farmers meaning 1 in every 25 of us is a rice farmer FALSE! (2) Min of Agric can on air and said over =N=400billion had been saved by growing Rice in Nigeria but we are yet to experience that savings. Ebonyi state is quickly name dropped as our Rice destination but we are yet to see the economy of Ebonyi as the place to go to....if there truly is a revolution of rice production in Ebonyi, it should attract Guest House Owners; Bank Branches; Rice Bag producers; Haulage Companies; diverse food sellers; urgent construction to meet the needs of Rice enterprenuers; Improved IGR for Ebonyi state but...... Hear this.....Min of Agric: We are almost self sufficient in rice production......but just 2 weeks ago, Stallion and OLAMS are owing us over =N=30billion for import duty on Rice. to confirm it GEJ last week reads the riot act about the same thing....the next question is how come they are owing Nigeria import duty? Is import duty not paid before you clear your goods?? and how come they havent paid for so long that FG now has to threaten them publicly....hmmm...some deal gone wrong?? ...... but are Stallion and OLAMS not part of the local rice production revolution?? #WetinIKnowSef?[/b] 9. This govt has insisted that even in the area of corruption, PREVENTION is better than cure. Because I believe prevention is better than cure and that Buhari with his gang of thieves will not do better, I will vote for continuity. In any case, the Buhari approach failed in 1983 so let's try something else. YOU will vote in continuation of corruption? that means you will vote in favour of what rightfully belongs to you bn wacked by a few uncaring people? Please outline the so called PREVENTION methods as GEJ has failed woefully with respect to corruption and he cannot turn around tommorrow and succeed in an area he is deeply rooted in. 10. I will vote for continuity of the reforms in the power sector. The last thing that is needed in that sector now is policy somersault. I had to laugh here....the comedians in Nigeria are not even in competition with you . If you burn =N= daily through purchase of fuel for your generator(s), then you will NEVER vote PDP in any election. 16years + Billions of $$ & no electricity in sight. Whether its the Policy or its implementation, neither works & you and I are the mugus. Meter maintenance charge was increased from =N250 to =N=750.....that is a criminal % increase & to rub insult into injury, you have to pay it whether you have electricity or not and nobody cares abt u.....Pls go and vote darkness again O! As for me and household, we have concluded that even the KOWA party candidate cannot be worse than GEJ, t4 we proclaim a change. FG sold PHCN to private investors and has now come back to offer them Intervention money through CBN as FG continues to pay Legacies debts to these new owners......pls vote to continue living in darkness and your commonwealth bn shared by a few people o!!! 11. In the last 4 years, the federal govt, working with the state govt and the people have given relative peace to my state. I vote for that peace to continue. Relative peace in your state? Congrats, but pls beg them to extend the peace to Plateau; Benue; Kaduna states for needless killings and the entire North East bn run over by BH 12. Because I believe Nigeria is in need of urgent restructuring, I will vote for the implementation of the resolutions of the last national conference, even though the restructuring proposed were not far reaching enough. Most of the problems we complain of in Nigeria today are structural problems which can only be solved by restructuring the country. The last National Conference is Dead on Arrival.....pls lets find other ways to restructure appropraitely but certainly not by creation of unviable states 13. Because Nigeria is considered by some as a turn-by-turn enterprise, I will vote for other parts of the country to also have a taste of the FULL dose of the pie, especially as the best Buhari can achieve if elected is to match the record of GEJ in the last 4 years. Buhari can take the turn of the north in 2019. Turn by Turn is not the way to go and if it was, the Igbos should be given the Presidency now now!! In conclusion, the present administration has been full of sleaze and deceit and do not deserve a return. As i said earlier, even the KOWA party candidate is more acceptable. Inefficiencies; weakness; cluelessness; bad leadership; poor judgement; lack of experience; lack of political will has plunged us into a dire situation. Whoever wins in Feb has a herculan task of reviving a dying economy. As we speak right now, our economy is in complete disarray 2 Likes |

Get a grip, rail lines WERE working before GEJ...if in doubt, google's a big help. Its funny I would have thot siting their plants in Nigeria would make brand new cars cheaper yet somehow it is actually the opposite effect! Most times we people mistake cluelessness for humility, being clueless esp conc matters you're expected to be versed in most times will make a man look seemingly humble. The truth is GEJ has failed the nation and not that GMB necessarily is the best to rule but still of two 'evils' I'll take the lesser one which obviously is GMB if not for anything at least I know corruption won't continue like the order of the day and there'll definitely be an end to BH amongst other issues. |
