Jarus:

We spent 2 days to arrive at this team of judges but you didn't show up here while that was going on.

Two, can you tell me which of our panel members is an 'opposition member'. And I know you're too smart to say a person becomes an 'opposition member' just because he had had cause to disagree with you or your political leaning in the past. Name which of those guys is known for opposition to your political leaning.

Johndoe100: Are they card carrying members of opposition parties like Gbawe? No. However, almost without exception, you must know that they are biased against the government of the Federal Republic. Whatever the case, we the patriotic citizens on this board represent a large percentage of the members and we deserve representation on the panel of judges among others. Choose at least 2 or 3 of the people I nominated we will be satisfied.

Johndoe100: This debate is like a three dollar bill. If we are to have a debate why can't we have some honest judges? I nominate myself, IFIHEARAM, BILLYONAIRE, D-EXPLORER,
WEREPERI, MANDALAGUY (I hope this is how his moniker is spelt)and any other patriotic member.

I guess this is a joke right

1, COOGER: Cooger has been on Nairaland for more than 4 years and has been a valuable member of the forum, contributing to different topics in different sections. He brings to the table versatility and experience. He is also well-known for his command of the queen’s language

6, E-GUERILLA: e-Guerilla is another well-respected intellectual on Nairaland. He adds to the team analytical depth.

Ibime: Lets rewind to November last year.

Pastor Bakare and the SNG group visited Aso Rock after which two allegations were made:

(1.) SNG were offered a $50,000 bribe

(2.) Jonathan told Bakare in confidence his plans for a 7 year term.


Lets rewind to December last year, Saharareporters printed the story about Jonathans 7-year agenda on Dec 19th, and I quote:


SaharaReporters sources revealed that contrary to what is being touted in public, Jonathan has secretly cobbled together a team of strategists and manipulators that include “Mr. Fix-It” Chief Anthony Anenih and Jerry Gana, with the objective of putting together a blueprint for one-time 7-year tenure for Jonathan as soon as the elections are over in April 2011.

The plan, which is akin to the third term campaign by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006-2007, will be bankrolled from excess campaign funds now being generated.

Jonathan had told a delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare that he was opposed to elections every four years, claiming that it was too expensive.


As of last week, some governors that had “come on board” had been persuaded with the argument they would also benefit from the 7-year tenure project.

In light of the recent tenure-elongation bill, what assurances do Nigerians have that this bill is "for the next President" when the scoop told us last year that it was GEJ's plan for himself?

PointB: And how about my lovely sister Ogugua who would like continue her anti fuel subsidy campaign, and perhaps lash at out her brethren for not partaking in the subsidy protest her own way?

PointB: - Jarus

e-Guerilla. yet another unknown yet well respected intellectual

10. In my brief citation on the 9 judges above we have left out their tribe and region of origin for obvious reasons, but we are safe to introduce Talina as a Canadian. Talina brings international flavour and insight into the team.

ogugua88:

It's October and a new and different thread. That discord took place months ago. I'd like to believe my political savvy is broader than the fuel subsidy removal of January and the disagreement with Eze Ndi Igbo Parliament in June. I've moved on PointB.

eGuerrilla:

I am honoured that some commentators deem by contributions worthy of substance on these boards and would be most happy to oblige you with any lingering questions, Comrade PointB

ogugua88:

PointB: It has absolutely nothing to do with Eze Ndi Igbo. But everything to do with the fuel subsidy removal. Let me ask you, another round of fuel subsidy removal is coming say January since not money is allocated for it in the budget? What are going to do? Move on, walk away from the protest?

Point is that, like some of us, your political-economy leaning is well-known, and you cannot walk away from it. My comments stand, best of luck with the mods though.

ogugua88:

I don't think I was nominated as a judge for my stance on the fuel subsidy removal or any other issue. I don't think other judges were nominated for their leanings or beliefs either.

PointB: - Jarus
Question: Who is 'Cooger'? May the real Cooger pls stand-up!
