[quote author=Depointer1]ABUJA—Against the backdrop of the resolution of the 19 northern governors not to support any presidential candidate from the southern part of the country in 2015 election, elder statesman and Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark declared, yesterday, that President Goodluck Jonathan will contest the 2015 presidential election because former Presidents of the country contested for second term in office.

The northern governors at their forum last week, expressed their determination to sink their differences and unite towards producing the president in the next election.

Addressing newsmen in Abuja as part of activities to mark his 85th birthday today, Chief Clark, however, said section 137 of the 1999 Constitution gives President Jonathan the constitutional right to seek for a second term in office, adding, “I am not aware whether he made any commitment to contest for only one term to Nigerians which is irrelevant at the moment. Personal promises cannot override the constitution of Nigeria”.

Making reference to former President Shehu Shagari to support his point that Jonathan must run for 2015 Presidential election, Chief Clark stressed, “former President Shagari contested the presidential election in 1979 and won and in 1983, he contested for the second term in office before he was ousted by the military, led by General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

“Also, former President Olusegun Obasanjo contested for the presidential election in 1999 and won and later contested for the second term in office in 2003 and won”, asking why the case should be different for President Jonathan.

According to him, “Jonathan is a Nigerian. Nigerians voted for him beyond religious and cultural differences. What we should be asking is that he should perform as President in office. If he performs well, the same Nigerians should vote for him as he has another term”.
THEM NO BORN GEJ WELL EVEN IF HIM CONTEST NA HIM HOUSE HE GO ENTER NOT ASO ROCK AGAIN.... PRAY NOW

virtuoso01: As far as I am concerned Nairaland is still an original concept representing Naija. Imagine LAGBOOK to FACEBOOK. Kind of remind me of the HOLLYWOOD, NOLLYWOOD names. Whatever Lagbook is claiming it does not sound original with the addition of the BOOK thing.
Even Mark Zuckeberg used an original name for his website despite claims that he stole the idea. I do not know lagbook and I do not care to know, but I know Nairaland and I am contented.

This is just an attempt to give more publicity to their site through Nairaland.

their aims and objective has been fulfilled... cause many people will join the site thru their stooooopid cunny adverts Seun U DONT not need to put this THREAD on the front page......... puffs my ganja and off i go to the romance section..... NAIRALAND MY COUNTRY.......

Spirit of Okija: I hate ties!!

I feel like a goat in one!!

And after I saw a gy get beat-up by another dude who simply grabed his tie and puched him till he blacked out, I decided I will never wear a tie ever...

@Orikinla, Its either you are looking for cheap publicity or wrote those statements out of boredom. I don’t know when you were born but i was born in the 70′s in Lagos, Yaba to be precise and have been used to the phrase ‘UP NEPA’ since then. As a matter of fact, Nepa office was few blocks from my house so…i guess Bonny Island was an exception.
May i ask where you got the information that Prince Tonye Princewill sponsored or funded Figurine?? Yes he’s a brother and a supporter of Motion pictures in Nigeria but please try and get your facts right about people’s involvement in projects.

A big thanks to you all my fans out there and thank you for buying the original dvd of figurine and for seeing Phone swap in the cinemas. Just incase you haven’t seen Figurine and you intend to do so onilne, please visite http://www.hibuzz.com and Phone swap is still showing in cinemas all across Nigeria and Ghana. Premiering and opening in Cinemas in UK in June.
thats kunle reply

this is absurd, its better not to marry lolzzzzzz

[quote author=lari03]This report is a call to arms against the hegemony that has virtually held on to the corridors of power in the state of Nigeria.Docile Nigerians can now see why PDP remain in power, they steal in trillions,share it in billions, give their subordinates millions and they now leave the common man with a paltry thousand bucks bribe on election day. I am happy I went out to cast my vote for Buhari, because it is obvious that what we need is not democracy but a disciplined in fact strict over zealous leader with a system set up with checks and balances. My generation is the worst,BB,porn,alcohol,no stand on what we want or how things should be, people voted en masse for Mr 'fresh air'. As a Nigerian with no other nation of citizenship, it brings tears to my eyes, that some people vowed to rule for 60 years and people just glossed over their activities as if bewitched to vote them to continue a 4 year term in office.

i think we guys should be ready 4 revolution this is what i can call FIFI OBO LONIYAN OF THE HIGHEST ORDER we should form an association here on nairaland instead of abusing ourselves, thatS what they did in countries that have access to the internet, if we enlighten our people they will get angry of their situation, and things will change, we all know that our entertainment industry is nothing to write home about on the issue of using songs to criticize politicians they all sing about love all the time had it been the likes of papa felA are here things will not be like this but we too can do it, THROUGH GOOD MEANS LETS STRATEGIZE INSTEAD OF CRITICIZING,
