More like rancid air if you ask me .

What type of "fresh air" frustrates the course of justice , regarding murder  (Teslim Folarin) shocked shocked, just for the sake of gaining votes ?

Does "fresh air" become the campaign manager for an election rigger (Uduaghan)?

Will "fresh air" , as the leader of the PDP Party , place Bode George , a disgraced ex-con, into a prominent Party position (to the disgust of many PDP members ) becuase of the desperation to win Lagos by all means?


My brother , far[b] too many examples [/b] abound to indicate that , in reality , we are dealing with rancid and suffocating air. I can only conclude that some folks need to get their nose examined ASAP.

Get a strong hint from my earlier post.

Beaf:

Abeg, quit all these long winded arguments. Why are your so called reformers (Ribadu and Buhari) now hugging and kissing Ciroma's corrupt cabal and trying to select a Northern consensus candidate (another Atiku)?
Is Nigeria only Northern? It is worthy of note that Buhari hardly even bothered to campaign in the South, not even in Lagos.

The battle is strictly between old and new; ethnic bigotry / born to rule and an all inclusive Nigeria.
It is quite clear now that the very same Ciroma cabal are holding nocturnal meetings with the three willing Fulani contestants.

Shame on them and their "born to rule" ways, we aren't deceived and Nigeria is being reborn.

for another 4 years with clueless GEJ as captain of ship Nigeria in the midst of the uncertain ocean, plagued by the tsunamis of corruption and incompetence, and typhoons of ethnic, religious and sectional activism, waves of fear, timidity and docility, and the weight of ignorance, we are highly susceptible to fatal shipwreck.

Simple questions. why was the presidential debate re-scheduled to hold for 2 days instead of the original 1 day? Couldn't GEJ have debated with Pat Utomi and the other 2 candidates on the 29th? why was a new date created for GEJ after Buhari and Ribadu had already indicated they won't be there? Why were the invitations to Dele Momodu and Okotie cancelled at the last minute? Even a blind man can see the strategy behind all that date fixing and other shenanigans. Anything to make sure GEJ "debated" alone.

Gbawe you raise points that don't really stick, please be objective in your reasoning and when you post or else you'd be exposed for who you are a man who drops post based on hearsay .

Teslim Balogun was never found guilty in the murder of eleweomo--- please can you provide facts where he was found guilty, He was arrested by the Police and remanded in prison custody-- please take note that the police discontinued the case based on the advice of the AG because there was no proof or complicity tying him to the murder charge, you can't just come calling him a murderer when a competent court of law has not adjudged him guilty of murder--- please be careful or else you might be in trouble calling a man a murderer when he isn't, if you have proof you can help the police with the investigation.

In the case of uduaghan the court ruled that the polls were fraught with irregularities, it never said uduaghan rigged or not, the only body indicted by judge monica muktar was inec which she claimed declared Uduaghan winner knowing that the electoral laws were not followed, and she ordered a re-run including Uduaghan in the re-run, please try and understand court judgements before coming to make absurd claims here, Uduaghan was never substituted by the court nor PDP so I wonder why GEJ shouldn't support a candidate put forward by his party, remember he is not above his party as he is also a party man.

As for the case of bode george please can you openly tell us the prominent position GEJ placed him after his release from jail ?

Re: 234next - The Opposition’s Strategic Mistake by ziccoit: 6:27pm On Apr 04, 2011
Nigeria population is a broad based one with a lot of people falling within youthful range. I always wonder why we are so backward if youths really means progressives, changers, achievers, conquerors and refined thinkers.
 
 A country moving backward at a rate we had never experienced before. We all know the causers. We fully understood how PDP has severely and consistently despoiling our collective morals, values, cultures and intelligent without impunity. Why do we really want this to continue?
 
 The environment has made us arrogant, blunt reasoners and crooked thinkers. You would be surprised at reasons many bring forth to vote in a diabolic non-performing structure that plunged the nation into unfathomable hopelessness. You want to vote a man because you share the same town/city, state, region. The arrogance stent that would make your sorry state become hopelessness.

  A quite, gentle and humble GEJ that understood how to manipulate PDP primary by emptying our treasury left too many questions on his character. A GEJ that always perform pendulum motions at serious issues threatened the existence of this nation would never be a good president.

  If what I am seeing on this forum was enough to judge the futur of our dear country, Nigeria has a long way to go as the youths who are the hope of tomorrow are already derailing.

My issue isn't with inviting them or not. My issue is with inviting them and then SUDDENLY cancelling their acceptance. NN24 never invited those people in the first place! NN24 invited the top four people according to their polls. NEDG invited more than the top four  but then cancelled their acceptance AFTER Buhari and Ribadu said they weren't coming. AND THEN AGAIN fixed an extra new date April 30th from nowhere!! Only a blind man would not see that they were trying to make sure there was no debate for GEJ.
Re: 234next - The Opposition’s Strategic Mistake by Dave6: 6:47pm On Apr 04, 2011
I see no reason why Buhari refused to take part in the debate that had a very wide Nigerian audience and in which the President took part. The same goes for Ribadu and Shekarau. But they can regularly and promptly go for midnight meetings with these very same Cartels who want someone they are sure they can easily control - a concensus Northern candidate.
I really laugh when I see supporters who believe that Buhari will get into the presidency and 'start throwing furniture all over the whole place'.
This is not a military dictatorship (where he claims all his actions were about anticorruption), this is the democratic dispensation. At least the cartel which calls him for midnight 'hope' meetings will subdue any existing good intentions he has.
Again, you should keep in mind that this is not a Military Dictatorship where even a 5-year old can be a brutal figurehead.

I know , from experience , that your retorts usually only expose your lack of comprehension and/or deliberate distortion but it is still shocking you take this statement to mean I have called Folarin a convicted murderer;
What type of "fresh air" frustrates the course of justice , regarding murder  (Teslim Folarin)  , just for the sake of gaining votes ?
I am sure it is obvious to most that I am infering to how Jonathan interfered to save Teslim Folarin from a possible murder conviction . You are probably the only Nairalander who does not knows that Folarin was miraculously acquited of all charges , when bail had previously been vehemently denied as they are now doing to the Akwa Ibom ACN candidate , only to then be whisked to Abuja , Courtesy of GEJ , to deliver Oyo delegate to Mr. President in the desperate bid to defeat Atiku. You are always quick to distort issues (very common with GEJ fans) and this is why I try to ignore you . Read the link below so you can be up to speed with the Teslim Folarin saga.

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/opinion/16559-teslim-jonathan-and-electoral-moral-burden

With Uduaghan , save the semantics . Uduaghan profited from electoral malpractices enough for any President , cognisant of the need to set good examples, to give him a wide berth. That is the long and short of it and there is no ethical or moral ground upon which to belabour the point especially when we are talking of a nation where election rigging is endemic.

As for the Bode George issue you can see your ignorance exposed below . Please don't bother with further pedantism of the "what offficial role does George have" variety. Everyone knows Jonathan is the leader of the PDP . Slice or dice it anyway, GEJ should shun George (the ethically correct thing to do) rather than give him any electioneering role , however vague, in the Party. This is what GEJ did to the chagrin of other Lagos PDP members.

Jonathan’s meeting with PDP members in Lagos deadlocked[/b]BY WAHAB ABDULLAH & DAPO AKINREFON



[b]…Party divided over Bode George

LAGOS – PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan’s siege on Lagos for the state’s more than six million votes may have ended in a fiasco as his efforts might have left the party more divided than ever.

The closed door meeting held between President Jonathan and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State ended on Sunday night with majority of party stakeholders boycotting the meeting over the prime role given erstwhile Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Bode George at the meeting.

The meeting called on the insistence of the President, was aimed at strategising on how to take over Lagos from the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, which currently controls the state.

Its good to make statements based on information and I will commend the op for strategically misleading the general populace.
Buhari, Ribadu and Shekarau might have boycotted the presidential debate organised by BON but were they the only presidential candidates?
There was Pat Utomi (who pulled out of the race earlier that day, Dele Momodu).
See Dele Momodu's tweet attached below. He was invited for the debate and then disqualified.
Bottom line is that BON clearly wanted only Jona in that debate to make him feel comfy.
And for those saying Buhari is Old, is Jonathan young at 54?

Teslim Folarin was acquitted based on the fact that the police could not produce any evidence of his complicity in the alleged murder case, you don't expect a judge to keep someone in jail indefinitely when the prosecutor can not produce any claim or evidence linking the accused to the crime,

Senator Teslim Folarin, and three others were, on Thursday, ordered to be released from the Agodi Prisons, Ibadan.

An Iyaganku Chief Magistrates’ Court, while ruling on the application for the withdrawal of two-count charge of conspiracy and murder brought by the police, said the court had no power to refuse the application.

Chief Magistrate Shakirat Badrudeen said that based on section 284 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the court could not be an impediment to the complainant’s bid to withdraw the charges against the suspects.

She said that since the complainant, the police, had requested that the charges be withdrawn against the suspects, “the court, hereby, withdraws the charges for further investigation by the police.”

She also ordered that the suspects should be left out of the case for the police to continue with the investigation.

Also, efforts by the Oyo State Director for Public Prosecution (DPP), Mr H.F Sule, to stop the withdrawal of the charges were refused by the chief magistrate, who ruled that since the commissioner of police had written that the charges be withdrawn, the DPP had no right to oppose the application.

The DPP had moved to halt the application, when counsel for the accused, Chief Adeniyi Akintola, SAN, challenged him and asked the court not to allow him and warned against any sinister move.

[b]Earlier, the police prosecutor, Mr M.A. Ojeh, had informed the court of the need to withdraw the charges against the accused to allow for further investigation.

the same thing was applicable in the case of udoudehe, he was released by the court because the police could bring no charges against him on treason but was re-arrested again to face murder and arson charges in uyo, please try and keep abreast with happenings--- he was granted bail in abuja for treason and re-arrested on murder and arson charges filed in uyo.

In the case of Bode George you put up a publication that clearly states prime role which is as vague as it can get, what is the prime role--- campaign co-ordinator ?, spokesman ??, what is the prime role he plays

it seems you still don't get it clear with law and order, you judge people based on your perceptions and not the interpretation of the law, IBB is corrupt yes we all know that, but so far a court of law hasn't proved him corrupt he is as free as any other human on earth, he has the right to contest and be voted for, the elections in delta state were fraught with irregularities --- YES, Uduaghan was not judged corrupt by a court of law, you are not the courts so please keep your morality in check, if you have a case against him take him to court, GEJ has no right to distance himself from him in the same manner Ribadu can't distance himself from Tinubu because a court has not found him wanting on corruption charges-- so please stick your points based on law not on emotions.
