Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The PDP is better than the APC

Is this a fact that " Buhari has announced he will not prosecute anyone for past corruption offences"?

Thinking about your words : empathy, a clear mind, a high sense of purpose, sense of dignity, integrity "

Now if Goodluck Jonathan said that  he would  " not prosecute anyone for past corruption offences", what would you think about him?

If all past corruption charges great and small entire forgiven, a general amnesty for all those who have looted wealth from the Nigerian People's Treasury, shouldn't this be good news for the official bank robbers-with-impunity and shouldn't this good news reduce their sense of desperation that Buhari would be coming after them in the name of poetic justice ?

In 2007 Ernest Bai Koroma the leader of the APC opposition party in Sierra Leone contested the presidential  elections and won, campaigning on a platform of " Zero Tolerance For  Corruption"...

What says Ogbeni Kadiri?

Only asking,

You critics of Ikhide are not serious..

I dont think Ikhide is correct in his  wholesale denigration of the PDP.

I recognise, though, that  Ikhide is stating, for any whose ears are not closed by pro-APC devotion, that we need an overhauling of the attitudes of the ruling class.

It is not difficult to corroborate Ikhide's list of the infamies of APC members.

Most ironic- are some of the most powerful members of the APC not people who achieved political relevance on the platform of PDP and later decamped?

Did they decamp on account of changes in their values to aspirations superior to those of the PDP?

Is it not instructive that Buhari has announced he will not prosecute anyone for past corruption offences as he did when  he was head of state?

thanks

I asked my daughter to read the contents of Ikhide's post, "The PDP is better than the APC," and she exclaimed, "If the brain of the writer of this message is transplanted into the head of a bird, the bird will start flying backward with the face forward." When I retorted by saying that "it would be a revolution for a bird to be flying against the direction of its face," her response was that a backward flying bird is engaged in a retrogressive revolution of backward ever and forward never. In another word, a negative revolution. Contrary to the title of the message, Ikhide did not tell us why PDP is better than APC, instead, he is telling us that PDP is as bad as APC because his sympathy is with the former. Why? Ikhide is employed under Jonathan's SURE-P( Subsidy Re-investment Programme) as an on-line media thug to attack critiques of Jonathan's misrule. Otherwise, there is no reason to argue that APC is equally obliged to account for how the PDP utilised the fifty trillion naira Nigerian earned between 1999 and 2013 that PDP has governed Nigeria.

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The PDP is better than the APC

I have to say I like PDP for one reason: They don't pretend, they don't hide the fact that theirs is a criminal enterprise, out to loot Nigeria to death in active partnership with the APC - their brother in crime. They look at you and basically go, "Yea, we are thieves, what are you going to do about it, go to APC? Hahahahahaha!"

The APC on the other hand is just as criminal if not more, definitely more deviant. Their leaders are armed robbers, embezzlers, drug dealers and pedophiles wanted everywhere in the civilized world. Unlike the PDP, the civil society, public intellectuals like them because they feed them crumbs. In return they make them PowerPoint slides where they bray silliness about eradicating corruption, Hahahahahaha! Nigeria has suffered sha. Imagine Tinubu preaching anti-corruption to Nigerians! Na wa!

I cannot thank the Nigerian people for seeing through the rank dishonesty and malu droppings of the APC. We all want relief from the PDP's evil misdeeds, but the APC is not our redeemer. Olorun ma je! Until our redeemer comes, we will continue to lick the wounds inflicted on our nation by the PDP and APC. Who knows, we might even get off our lazy behinds and chase a Tinubu, Obasanjo, Anenih, Atiku, Bode George, etc. etc. from our nightmares.

Abo mi re o! O'dua!
