Northern leaders Northern leaders

President Goodluck Jonathan last night asked Northern leaders not to distract his administration’s agenda with its politics of 2015 succession.

He also said he is spending his first term in office and could not have been pursuing a Third Term Agenda.

The President fired back at the Northern leaders through his spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati.

Abati said: “The President is focusing on governance and he remains committed to the transformation agenda. And he refuses to be distracted by those who are already playing the politics of succession.

“It is not in any evidence, in any way, that the Belgore Committee, which the President set up to look at the outcomes of previous political conferences’ recommendations, has submitted any report, any where.

“I am not aware of any report that has been submitted any where making any recommendations. We would expect that people, who claim to be major stakeholders in the Nigerian project, when they make contributions, their contributions will show commonsense and decency.

“To comment on the report of the Belgore committee that has not been concluded and a report that has not yet been submitted, will amount to witchcraft or if you like sorcery, and it is therefore curious and entirely mischievous. As far as I know, the Belgore committee has not concluded its work.

“It also appears strange to me that a group of people, who otherwise would be described as distinguished Nigerians, would claim that the President is looking for a third term.

“Every intelligent man in this country knows that President Jonathan is in his first term in office. So, how have they suddenly jump from first term to third term. From the point of view of arithmetic, even their claim cannot stand. So, that claim is weak, it is unacceptable.

“If their concern is about the seven-year term tenure, President Jonathan has made it clear that his proposal is out of patriotic concern about the amount of wastefulness, greed, tension, conflict and the obsession that go into the search for second term.

“It is borne out of patriotic concern that elected officials at all levels should dedicate themselves and concentrate their efforts during a specific period. This proposal is not original to the President.”

Ufeolorun: Forming busy We shall join them to kick you out in 2015 so that you can go form your laulau-delta republic

Ufeolorun: We are all lazy from the people who shout about the oil belonging to them as if na him papa put am there to the goro munchers up north, and the Owambeic westerners.We are all lazy,In fact the closer you are to the oil the lazier you get.

Beaf:

My guy, don't you get sick of these foolish ethnic bigotry? It is irritating and makes you come across as a fool.
Let us get our heads sorted about how best to move forward. If you are not happy with the country or the fact that the President is from a particular region, then declare your compound or village independent (if you can survive).

honeric01:
Lol, see person wey dey talk about ethnic bigotry lol.

It's true, the more closer you are to the "oil", the higher the chances of you being LAZY..

BTW, what does the youth of ND contribute to the nation at large?

How many of them went to school? (b4 u answer, i hope u know where i originated from?)

GEJ: We would expect that people, who claim to be major stakeholders in the Nigerian project, when they make contributions, their contributions will show commonsense and decency.

Beaf:

I see another bigotted fools is in the house. You are no different from the morally limp fellows the President described below:

Ufeolorun:

You love throwing tantrums.you go prancing around this platform like spongebob squarepants,calling people parasites as if you actually bring something in real terms to the table.People who see the way some of you go about will think there are massive industrial units in the delta where local knowledge and know-how are being used to create notch products for the benefit of the rest of the country but na lie na God bless us with oil awoofu ,yes gbogbowa,alofus noni .

i don't do bigotry but i am a bit 'insular'

Beaf:

Dude, the truth is bitter. Ain't you a parasite? I don't see what is annoying about that, rather if I were you, I would begin to pressure those around me to either be creative or harness local resources to exploit. Stop letting the fact that you are a parasite make you provide scripted performances fit only for id!ots.

You are not insular, no. You are a classic bigot and bigotry is a sure sign of low self esteem. You NEED to show yourself to belong with bigotted displays that would suit agbero's or you feel like nothing. . . Hellish existence.
It is such a big problem that you cannot even address the topic with any commonsense and without derailling. Your contributions so far are like asking a kid 2 + 2? Only for them to reply 5.

Instead of addressing the issue that is at the heart of this topic of various clowns angling to sieze power at the center, because they are parasites who cannot be creative outside of thinking up new ways to share Abuja largesse, you have joined them to sing the same song of fools.
The ND person has become your enemy, only because you look in the mirror and see failure staring right back, you hear a knock on the door and realise that it is the ND asserting itself. Dude, your ethnic bigotry is a sign of weakness and failure.

kettykin: i refused to believe niger delta is lazy , niger delta has contributed more enterprneurs than any other zone except the s.e , the ibrus, ovia,elumelu,peterside, talk about laziness of the mind should rather go to west and north who cannot think productively except how to award oil wells and do deal with haliburton and co

honeric01:
Where did these people you just mentioned make their monies from? where did they build their empire? ND or SW?

df2006:

I find it cruel and wicked for someone to claim, d glory and progress of Lagos as that of the southwest alone, until 1991 Lagos was the capital of Nigeria, till now it is repleted by all manners of Nigerians.

now to ur assertion, do you not consider it laughable for one to make money in the five other southwest states, infact it is hilarious, and unimaginable to do so in the southwest apart from Lagos.

to buttress my point isn't it ridiculous that in the whole of the southwest , you will find a protea hotel only in Lagos, and not anywhere else.

talk about a place being economically viable, making empires for non natives, lol.

Beaf:

Which of them made their money on anybody's resources outside of the ND? Dude, a lot of you people are just wretches who let your hatred of the ND cloud your judgements.
Why would you hate the ND, if not your own failure?
You people cannot contribute to any thread concerning the ND without bigotry, yet the ND is made up of minorities. It takes a a very strong man to pile on minorities, isn't it. Shame.

On every thread, you have daft comment after daft comment from grown men. Its like a competition to crown idiocy.

The thread is about those who see no reason to exist if they do not hold power in Abuja, let us deal with that if your bigotry will allow. Afterall, Abuja is not in the ND.

honeric01:
LOL, keep ranting mr lazylazy oily na our own.

Beaf:

It is this parasitic attitude of Nigerians that caused the President to refer to the Northern elite (who are no different from you) as mischievous witches and sorcerers who lack commonsense and decency. Up Presido! Very apt description.

Instead of people to get creative, all they can do is strategise for oil money, while their own backyards rot away. If there was no oil in Nigeria, the hoards of political babalawo's and baboons hovering over Abuja like demented evil spirits would have been technologists, inventors and entrepreneurs instead.

Shame on you, lazy phuck.
