cramjones: MY STAND

The first challenge that the APC has is to build a formidable party that not only has a strong foundation and structure but also has a clear left of centre ideological leaning. Such a party must also be led by an impressive set of educated, articulate, clear thinking, historically-literate and courageous leaders who are ready to risk all, including their lives, to fight Jonathan and save Nigeria from the evil called the PDP.

The second challenge is for the party to identify and field a northern Presidential candidate that is acceptable to both northerners and southerners and to both christians and muslims from all over the country.

The third challenge is to identify and field a Vice Presidential candidate from the south west who can win the confidence, trust, minds, hearts and votes of the overwhelming majority of the yoruba people. If the south west does not provide the Vice Presidential candidate I fear that the APC may not win. The yoruba deserve no less and we must ensure that we are never marginalised or treated with contempt and levity again.

We put Jonathan there and he has betrayed us. We have not risked all, including our lives and liberty, turned our backs on him and resolved to fight him just to be left with nothing. The position of Senate President, Speaker of the House or anything else is not big enough for us and in any case they are fraught with uncertainties.

The yoruba must have the position of Vice President to make up for what they have suffered in the hands of others in the last five years and in return for the mammoth support that they will give the APC in 2015. Politics is a game of numbers. Yet let us make no mistake about it- if the APC candidate is a northerner his running mate must be a yoruba man.

If you want lasting stability, peace and equity in Nigeria that is the way to achieve it. Anything else will fail and will leave the door of victory wide open for Jonathan, his ijaw ethnic supremacists and their numerous friends and allies.

cramjones: If some people had a scintilla of the kind of corruption that has gone on in GEJ's government, I don't think they will be saying "GEJ till 2019"! Just the share scale of monumental corruption that recently led a top New York banker to reveal to Ambassador John Campbell (former US ambassador to Nigeria) that there are at least 115 dollar billionaires in Nigeria. If only some had some of the insights we have on the Kind of corruption in this government. Voting for Jonathan is like voting for the destruction of Nigeria. ONLY if some knew, the share scale of corruption that even corrupt governors had to shout when they saw what was been stolen from the common wealth...ONLY if some knew....

APC is the best alternative for Nigeria...Death to PDP come 2015...GEJ will loose monumentally once we sort out our candidates rightly! I can assure you that...just watch and see.

CFCfan: @cramjones: you mean that there are 115 Nigerians who are worth at least $115bn?

Even if they each donate $50million, that will be $7.7bn which can be ploughed to infrastructure and education.

Cramjones (this is a direct conversation with you), you come across as an intelligent man (who knows, you might be FFK). But you cannot look me in the eye (virtual electronic eye ) and tell me that your facts and data which you clearly have shows GEJ corruption is the worst of all presidents. Please review the billionaires and money stoles made during the IBB, Abacha, Obasanjo etc era and share this data with us all.

I am not saying GEJ is better, my point is that I do not want you (a clearly intelligent man) to pretend that GEJ's corruption is your reason for your passion on this issue. It is surely something else far from patriotism or the love of Nigeria. So please be honest with us as some of us are just as smart as you are.

Some of us are disconnected from the matrix.....some of us are at the fringes of the normal distribution curve (bell curve)

I don't blame u hypocrite. U ones said in 2006 during ur ministerial screening by the senate for the post of aviation minister. u can die for obasanjo if the need arises. now u r no more in power u open ur mouth any how continue good luck

cramjones:

I am responding to you directly because you asked a very vital question. Yes, there have been corruption in all the governments you mentioned. However, GEJ came into power at the MOST prosperous time in Nigeria's history, he came in when Nigeria was exporting minimum of 2.5million barrels per day, with an international price of oil set by OPEC at its highest in the history of world. The money that have accrued in GEJ's government, no other leader, however long the ruled have seen it. At a minimum 2.5million X $100 minimum is $2.5bn per day. If you give the oil companies their 40% that comes to over $1.5billion daily. On the other hand in GEJ's watch a minimum of 300,000 barrels of oil are stolen daily. NEVER in Nigeria's history have we had such theft. This comes to about $300million daily going to a few individuals with state backing.

Now tell me, if Nigeria is really making all this money, is it justifiable for 112million people to live in poverty, or is it justifiable, saying we should leave GEJ because other governments were corrupt? I can tell you for a fact, NO PRESIDENT in the history of Nigeria, have gotten the kind of money GEJ has seen in his time as president. I will stop here.

tribalist007: but y are ibos generally angry peopleyou hate the yorubas and northerners so much.....did ffk say he wanted 2 run as vp? the so called gej won d last election only because there was no worthy opposition,and i doubt if APC will make the same mistake twice,as for the pdp touts who keep making noise,2015 is nearby....by the way im ready for any pdp tout that cant spell "lose" that comes here to post rubbish.

ochejoseph: Whoever they field will looose !

Its GEJ till 2019 , don't waste your time !!!

huptin: in other words, FFK wan become vice president. I dey laugh o

boy t: I just love the way and the tricks Tinubu , Buhari and co are shaping the APC leadership.
The message is now clear to SE/SS political sycophants like NGIGE, ROCHAS , AMAECHI and other follow-follow and 'oh yes members'
that they are all ghost politicians inside APC
The message is now clear that its not all about legitimate opposition, rather rebels trying by all means to install a hausa/yoruba candidate.
APC is sending a message of regional politics that may help divide the nation.

If GEJ a ND is hated just because he is not from the North, then other regions will celebrate him.
APC clear message is : 3 regional political parties, 1(NORTHERN PARTY) 2(SW PARTY) 3(SE/SS PARTY)
The way it is now, no igbo will vote for hausa, nor hausa will vote for igbo, no yoruba or igbo will vote for each other,
then make everybody answer their papa name.
Unknown to the igbos for years, the hausas have been very good at the policies of 'let only my people go' While the igbo were still hoping for a credible candidate for one nigeria.

. The SE/SS will support GEJ at all cost.

ochejoseph:
Stop been politically naïve

1. One a muslim/muslim ticket was a success in yesterdays Nigeria, but the reality today is that a muslim Muslim ticket is a one way ticket to failure !


2. Buhari is a serial Looser and would still loose in 2015 his hands are stained with Blooood ,the Blood of all the innocent people his supporters maimed in cold Blood will keep speaking against him


3.Tinubu is a man who lives large on the sweat of the South west people , the last time I checked the Yoruba people are the most educated people in Nigeria ,and they have started asking questions about their IGR if Tinubu and his band of thieves fail to provide those answers the SW people will teach them a how to be humble in 2015 !!

delta92: Irrespective of the media propanganda against President Jonathan, GEJ is loved by ordinary nigerians on d street, he has achieved so much, contrary to what d media want us to belive that he is not working. GEJ all the way, u have our vote

fajoren: from today i unfollow.you completely lost me. review some of the great comments i've made regarding some of your posts. I had an impression you were a courageous person and leader of men. I started wondering about you when i read the story where your friend's wife wanted to f$ck you.I didn't see the purpose of such a post, except sublimal vanity.

Now you are venting Northerner this, yoruba that, and Ijaw what? I thought the 'down with PDP' war cry was to rid Nigeria of all these categorisations.
Its supposed to be a 'ONE NIGERIA' philosophy for who ever will lead this country in the future irrespective of their region, a president who will develop this whole Nigeria and take care of all Nigerians irrespective of what region. The presidency, the executive, their powers, their priviledges, the legislators, their powers, their priviledges, should be drastically reduced to render so unattractive to encourage service to the people. The judiciary, law enforcement agencies, their powers, their priviledges should be drastically increased to encourage intergrity.
Instruments set in place to check the judiciary and law enfocement.
Time frame for at least 12 years, Nigeria will stand up right within this duration.

Back to you FFK,after reading this your post i find out i have been following a bigot, and now i understand why many people hate you

cramjones:

We are picking based on merit - Proven leadership qualities, ability to carry everyone along, no record of corruption! However, due to the nature and sensitivity of these elections, we would have to zone the slots to ensure victory. Remember that we are dealing with a party with the power of incumbency...

cramjones:

The talk of ignorance and brainwashing - the perception of Owerri does not equate to the perception of millions living in the north, whoes families have been destroyed by both Boko Haram and the Nigerian Military. It does not equate to the millions living in the South West that can feel their APC state governments working in their daily lives, despite the fact that the government at the center starves them of much needed funds for more development.
.

CFCfan:
You've got a valid point there. But the Yorubas and the Hausa-Fulani still make up a majority of the population in both the SW and NW respectively. Even at that, the "non-indigenes" in those zones are still likely to cast their vote for the APC.

The election is surely going to be fascinating. I can't remember the last time an incumbent Nigerian President has been so close to losing an election.
