"We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by Borat1: 7:05pm On Apr 09, 2010 |
Despite the ongoing kicking and screaming by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Maurice Iwu, he can kiss the job goodbye. Saharareporters has it on good authority that Acting President has assured the United States that Iwu will certainly be relieved of his post. A senior aide to US President Barack Obama has confirmed that the tenure of Nigeria’s notorious election chief, who has been sponsoring demonstrations in his own interest in Nigeria, will not be renewed no matter the circumstances.

Why is US dictating who to be sacked and who to be retained. Are they ruling us by proxy? |

@presido1 Yes, that is essentially what they are implying - we own you now. Why? Well, your country decided to go rudderless for months (not even in Iraq or Afganisthan would that happen) with a president in comma. Meanwhile a Nigerian attempted to blow up an airplane on American soil - you better thank heavens that he failed. If American doesn't take Nigeria over, Osama bin Laden already had designs. All the while those who could not see beyond their noses were thinking of preserving "power" for themselves. |

The US dictating to Nigeria will only bring more problems for Nigeria and Nigerians in the long run and it is sad to note that we are not seeing things they way they should be seen. |

I'm sure this won't happen if IBB is the Nigerian president. Though I am in no support of him. |

greateliso:And are u seriously considering that we accept or reject that suggestion? At this stage we all know its the right thing to do. And why are we all only talking about the fact that US is dictating to us what to do, how about we admit that they are forcing us to do the right thing uhn sheeesh! |
Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by naijamini(m): 12:52pm On Apr 10, 2010 |
@Afam It sounds like dictating, but really it is not. It is showing leaders who keep behaving like juveniles, while leading 140 million people, their imbecility has got to stop. Why? Their incompetence and irresponsibility, coupled with aristocratic stealing, is a threat to global security. This people who cannot keep a coal powerplant or refinery running or guard an airport are talking about building nuclear power plants. There is no doubt that they can throw some of our people's money to get such a plant, the problem is the aftermath. Iwu doesn't deserve his seat at the head of INEC, he should have been long gone if Yar'adua was half the honest man he made us believe. Since they don't consider the voice of the Nigerian people or performance at your job as decision variables then the only thing is for a bigger dog to humiliate them the way they humiliate our people each and everyday. In this country an INEC chairman gets a protest and attempt to get 15 million signatures on his behalf. Sickening! Afam: |

@bandely I would suggest that you learn a little more about how IBB ruined Nigeria. IBB's "homegrown" SAP was actually dictated by the world bank. Also, IBB had already completed the process of obtaining an IMF loan, while pretending to the Nigerian people by starting a nationwide debate to discuss the merits. IBB was the one who without consultation single-handedly upgraded Nigeria's membership in the Organization of Islamic Countries, and then denied it. And who are some of the people that seem to be promoting IBB for president? What we need is someone that would do the right thing on behalf of the Nigerian people all the time. Otherwise, the world will continue to dictate to us for better or for worse. bandely: |
Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by mbulela: 1:13pm On Apr 10, 2010 |
all these crap stories that are cooked up in beer parlors. What makes you think Obama is so jobless that he is bothered about Iwu? Nigerians exaggerate the importance of this country in the comity of Nations. Obama has more important things to worry about. As it is, his cup is full at present. Nigerians had better sort out their issues for their own good. Last time i checked,we do not have monopoly of oil. |
Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by naijamini(m): 1:45pm On Apr 10, 2010 |
@mbulela Obama has more important things to worry about.You would have been right before Dec. 25 2009. In fact this was Obama's policy towards Nigeria since he became president - which I think was a mistake by the way. Nigerians had better sort out their issues for their own good.It is no more about just oil. It is now about the potential threat to security. I agree that we better sort our issues out for our own good. However, since we have "kids" for government America cannot watch until another foolish idiot climbs on a plane. mbulela: |

As bizarre as it may sound, whether or not the U.S is dictatin to us doesn't bother me really. ALL I WANT IS FOR EVIL IWU 2 BE KICKED OUT UNCEREMONIOUSLY. GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH IT WILL BE!! |
Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by Nobody: 3:10pm On Apr 10, 2010 |
Mbulela Jonnie Carson has already stated the US position openly that they want Iwu removed. Now that we can assume that Jonathan has finally made a decision I hope everyone will move on and look beyond Iwu. Lets begin to talk about the necessary electoral reforms. |

since we can't solve common constitutional problems, ensure true fedralism (although it's in the book), and understand commonsense features of democracy. I think we should always listen to BIG UNCLE SAM when he is graciously advising |

presido1: US is not only ruling by proxy , even dictating directly her wishes. Remember, if you are christian , the last world power ruler is Anglo-America. So expect more from America until God` Kingdom |

^^^^ totally correct any and all populated democratic countries are westernized and under US directions but not only christians -muslim populated democracys too. @ post I dont even care the US can tell Nigeria what do because when presidents in third world countries do what they like we have Dictators like Abacha and Mugabe. make Nigeria a colony again please lmfao- black people dont see themselves equal until the white man comes and tell them "you niggarz are the all same". |

The United States knows exactly what they are doing! Yara'adua was never their ally, infact American govt has not been favored by the UMYA govt, during his time he invited Iran to help Nigeria in Nuclear electricity, he sold a lot of oil wells to the chinese, sidelined US and gave Chinese most of our multibillion dollar contracts. US is happy to have Jonathan, and they will do everything to have Jonathan become president 2011, they want to take good control again of Nigeria's main economic driving tool and that is oil. Removal of Iwu therefore confirms this. Can any country of the world dictate to another country who should head what? the answer is no. But in the case of US they are very interested in the 2011 elections and who governs Nigeria. America do not want the Chinese to have more economic control in Africa's most populous nation and Africa's second largest economy. The saying goes "He who controls Nigeria controls Africa" its a fight of the two nations over Nigeria. Hence, the call for removal of Iwu |

The topic sounded like Poster quoted Jonathan saying "We wont, i repeat wont,. . .Jonathan Assures Obama" i didn't read that in the article! It gives the story a form of backing that the Acting President is being dictated to. |

@cgem This is the kind of absolutism that us no where. Who were the major investors behind the Chinese economic "miracle"? After they helped S. Korea, H.Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, the Chinese realized what they needed to do - they accepted US help (investment, bilateral cooperation, education, technology) without losing their mind. UMYA's bosom friends in Saudi Araba are at the steps of the Americans, although the same UMYA hypocrisy is keeping them down. It is a mutual or relative world, however you see it. What has the Chinese brought us? Nigeria has a choice. We can accept needed help without losing our heads, if our leaders get their heads out of their pockets and start using it, or we can go adrift, in which case the Chinese, Americans or Osama bin Laden will gladly step in. Our oil, our oil - whose oil are you talking about. The Niger Deltans certainly don't feel like it is their oil because they only see it leaving and the proceeds never come back because it develops legs faster Usain Bolt. cgem: |

Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by Alxmyr(m): 11:49pm On Apr 10, 2010 |
The US only re-emphasised what well meaning Nigerians wanted. Imagine Iwu's INEC failed to conduct hitch free council election in Abuja despite the cry for his removal, with 20,000 policemen. How do you expect such man to conduct credible election that will involve 36 states and Abuja? Some people argued in support of UMYA for shutting out America, is it not crazy thing for him to have done that? Of what use is China to Nigerian economy? Chinese goods are responsible for closing down of many Nigerians factories, loss of jobs, fake and substandard products. Many of you using China phones know what you are going through with those phones. Africa should be very careful with the inculsion of Chinese, they are more evil than the Americans. Lastly, whilst UMYA shut out America does it affect America a bit? Putting Nigeria on the watch terror list alone cost this country more than all what the Chinese brought to Nigeria since UMYA came into power. And maybe, had UMYA befriends America, he may have recovered from his illness. It is obvious Saudi Arabia does not have a clue to the solution to his health, |

MPEROR: Bull Shit bro. Even with their far exceeding experience at elections, there's is far from perfection. They're no better than us in electing presidents, they just know how to cover up their failures quickly! |
Re: "We Wont - Repeat - Wont Renew Iwu's Tenure" Jonathan Assures Obama by olafolarin(m): 12:33am On Apr 11, 2010 |
Saharareporters Goofed again. Most Nigerians want Iwu sacked immediately because of His abysmal failure in conducting any election. His unending failure is destroyingour Young democracy. There are more capable Hands to conduct credible elections in Nigeria than Iwu. He is à disastrius page in our election history As such should Be deleted woh immediate effect. |
