A woman tells her husband that she is going to visit her sick mum in the village. She goes on Friday and returns on Sunday, with plenty of fruits and food stuff, saying they are from her mum to the husband and the children. The husband gently asks her about her mother's health and how she was doing, to which she replies that she took her to the hospital in the village and she is recovering and getting better. The wife adds that her mother insisted that she must re-visit the village in a few days, to spend at least a week with her. "I'm worried about Mama" the wife crooned, with tears swelling in her eyes. "She'll be fine, dear." Hubby lovingly replied. The husband then politely asks her to take the items to the kitchen. As she enters, she meets her mother preparing food in the kitchen. Apparently, her mum came visiting since the Friday that she left home. You can imagine the plight of this woman. stuck, shocked, dazed and dumbfounded at the kitchen door! whether to go in and drop the items' from mama', or return to her hubby in the living room! How would you handle this case? Your humble opinion is required.

yeah those are the people that will congratulate him for handling over peacefully to our next president GMB.

Proudly Niger Delta, proudly Nigerian!

Rapmoney:
Come 28th of March, Jonathan must win the presidential election. If Buhari wins, this country might be worse that Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi and Sudan put together!

Jona has only one option; that's to win the election!!!

If Jona nor win, I go deactivate my NL account and move to Gambia

why not follow him to Otuoke because that is his Destination.

that is how he will congratulate the people's General on 30th March,2015.

that is the work of Alomo

my guy, cum grab one bottle of origin wit me and lets watch this group of persions

yeeee....origin?u are a bad guy ooo..o ya throw me one bottle and let's start watching the loosers

wealthinfos:
Firstly, the level of #Transformation going on in this administration is massive, although very slow, so there is need for #Continuity.

Secondly, If the constitution of Nigeria allows for a second term, then Jonathan should be allowed to do his remaining term; simply for the purpose of equity & fairness to the South-South.

NB: A vote for GEJ is not a vote for the PDP but for Nigeria! #ThinkNigeria

Dazz all!
----

You got some other reasons why GEJ should be voted for? Oya o share!

I am very sure that you are frm either south-south or south east so I'm not surprise with your post.7days to go

Gani Adam is bastard Yoruba and he is representing his pocket and not Yoruba race.He should use part of the money given to him to buy private jet now

I will vote for GEJ

TippyTop:
Just another week left and we would be rid of Buhari till 2019 election.
I can bet my last kobo, Buhari would be back to try his luck in 2019. The man is a "professioner contestant" and would miss not contesting. But Buhari is not very clever, if you failed the same job interview 3 times wouldn't you think your potential employers might not be favourably disposed towards you?
We say it again and again but this professional contestant keep coming.

Babangida defeated Buhari in struggle for power in 1984.
Obasanjo beat him in 2003.
It was Yar'Adua's turn in 2007.
GEJ gave him a mauling in 2011.

After this election, GEJ can boast as the only Nigeria presidebt to beat billy goat 2 times.

On behalf of the good people of Nigeria I say adieu to the Daura Dictator, you came, you saw but didn't conquer.

Your 150 cows miss you more than we Nigerians, please stay with them.

I like your spirit and courage for preparing Mr President journey back to Otueke.I hope you will be available to assist him pack some bags

afuye:
President Goodluck Jonathan says he will “surely” win the 2015 presidential election which will hold on March 28. Speaking in an interview with the BBC, Jonathan said categorically: “I’ll surely win.”

The election is generally expected to be very tough, with many analysts concluding that Muhammadu Buhari, a retired general and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), would win. The postponement of the election from the original February 14 date was attributed to the fear of losing by Jonathan, but the president told the BBC he is confident of winning the election. He also spoke on the Boko Haram insurgents, admitting for the first time that they were initially underrated by the government. But now he said they are getting weaker and all territories under their control would be retaken within a month. “They are getting weaker and weaker by the day,” he said. “I’m very hopeful that it will not take us more than a month to recover the old territories that hitherto have been in their [Boko Haram’s] hands.” While admitting that the authorities had “under-estimated” the militants, he also reiterated that the military lacked the resources to fight them until now. Jonathan said that newly acquired military equipment, as well as co-operation with neighbouring countries, had helped push the insurgents out. On the Chibok girls, he said he was hopeful they are still alive and some of them may be at the Sambisa forest. Kenneth Minimah, a lieutenant general and chief of army staff, said during the week that there were no traces of the girls yet in all the towns and villages retaken from Boko Haram.

for how long should we continue viewing the captured weapons from Boko Haram?what we need is the captured leaders and his confessionary statement about their sponsors....what do you want me to do with the captured weapons?anyway GMB till Shekau is arrested and confess that he is not a true muslim

GeneralBosco:
Because they've refused to be scammed by Egbere Jonathan you think they're a stupid community??

I'm certain Yorubas are wiser than a particular heeboe tribe who admitted that although Jonathan failed, they'll still vote for him. What can be more stupid than that??

I thank God I'm not an ibo

Obviously, the best Yoruba race has deserved from Mr. Jonathan's government are just the spokesmen's and the image makers' appointment. Doyin Okupe is a spokesman. Okunronmu is a spokesman. Femi Fanikayode is a spokesman and an 'image'maker. Yinka Odumakin is a spokesman. Okunronmu is a spokesman. Gov. Mimiko has been Mr. President's spokesman. And Gani Adams is now the latest spokesman of the Mr. President. While our brothers from other regions are nepostically and tribalistically siting on top of prominent and juicy appointments, Mr. President only fixes Yorubas in the position of attack and backing dogs. And people who must always attack and betray their own people. And at the end of the day, he would abandon or marginaalise them or start running stupid documentaries about Yoruba leaders or call them 'motor park' touts. However. This is another election period. Mr. President needs the votes of the Yorubas again. So, he has to be jumping from the house of one Yoruba leader to the other, begging and kneeling for their supports. More annoying is the fact that Mr. President believes that all the Yoruba people need is the money - the stipends or the dollars-to buy our supports or our votes for him. It is so sad how Jonathan has reduced the Yoruba race, the second largest tribe in Nigeria, to a mere hungry region. So annoying!'Yoruba ronu oo
