The irony of this all is that the Northerners are allowed to mine their minerals themselves, make as much money as they like without paying a dime to the Federal purse and at the same time, getting regular monthly allocation from Niger Delta crude proceeds while the Niger deltans do not even have access to the oil in their back yard.

I am neutral wen it comes to buhari but,if he wants the best for Nigeria and nigerian then y promoting violence. So u also support his action in 2011 election?

Adminisher:
Rivers State (Amaechi) gave Goodluck Jonathan 2million out of 2 million votes in 2011 thay is what is called clue-full rigging but Amaechi has indicated that he will not be dispensing that favour in 2015.

niyisky:
op source please
if this is true, I see Buhari winning this year election. the votes from his strongholds dwarfs that of Goodluck. except there is voters apathy.

I think people are missing alot in this case.President Jonathan has alienated the Yoruba in his government under the captain Okonjo Iweala who believed that Igbo has the best and only professionals that can run the economy yet they are leading the country into obvious destruction.Obasanjo, a Yoruba man,like him or hate him,never did that.
I don't know who will lead GEJ campaign in the southwest may be a new face in Agbaje,a controversial Fayose whose popularity is within Ekiti borders or Mimiko whose popularity has waned since moving into PDP.
Compare that to Fashola leading a campaign with stories of achievements to tell, Aregbesola, Amosun, Ajumobi, they will simply refer to what they have done.
Let me tell you, even though Fayemi was voted out in Ekiti, the civil service conspiracy won't work for Jonathan because there is nothing the government of GEJ had done in the southwest that will form the basis of his campaign.
it is God that give power, but from the look of things, I don't think GEJ will win 40%vote in the southwest and you can't blame the people whose ethnic group form the single largest in sub Sahara Africa to be alienated and abused by hired persons and be expected to return the same man.
I pity youths leaning on religion to determine who becomes a President, a true Christian won't permit corruption or impunity because God is light.
The North, may be with exception of Benue and Plateau will likely go with GMB, FCT is shared and may be up to 60% of SW will also vote for him.Buhari may not be the better administrator at this time,but is there an alternative to the current government for Nigerians? its Buhari as things look.
I will both GEJ and GMB best of luck but more so Nigerians in this new year.

This is one reason Nigeria is still a member of OIC. It gives them a leeway to obtain loans from Int'l Islamic banks. This is not wrong if the funds are judiciously used for the development of the country. Instead the loans are often used to support and sponsor STOMACH INFRASTURAL PROJECTS. GEJ should go back to his home town abeg.

This guy will ruin this country if care is not taken.
Where is the missing 10 billion dollars

exxell:
You people are always looking for ways to take this man down. But come 2015, Buhari is going back to his cattles. A vote for Buhari will take Nigeria back to the stone age!

Pataki:
He is his own worst enemy. Just watch the way he talks during one-on-one interviews, he does not know how to make decisions on his own. Without any apology whatsoever, President Jonathan has a very low IQ!

Even the appointment of Yinka Odumakin would have been a terrible blow to Buhari.

FFK is disliked by Yorubas, and strongly hated by Igbos after he garrulously open his gutter mouth to state that he slept with Bianca Ojukwu.

TippyTop:
How do you define loser? If you fail an exam 3 times you're still not regarded as a loser in your town abi?

Marvin67:
I guess by the mood everywhere you mean the mood in Lagos, other southwest states and online.

I've always said the North would be the deciding factor here. The number of Votes GEJ would win in the South east ans South south will be more than the number of votes he'd lose in the south west.

Don't think the north is one dimensional. The North is divided into three. There's the core (Hausa) north. There's the north that hates been associated with anything Hausa as they see themselves as being marginalised greatly by the hausas, there's a Christian north that (unfortunately) are not enlightened enough to put aside religious sentiments. The northern votes wouldn't go massively for GMB, you'd be suprised at the number of votes GEJ would pull out of the north.

No where in the world has elections been won online. I remember when George Bush was going for second term, 80% of americans voted him out online, but in real life he won the election. The internet is filled with so many people who are not even registered voters, and most of the comments you read online are still from the Lagos people. APC is winning the online polls, but PDP is going into rural areas where the people don't even know GMB or GEJ, sensitizing the people on how to vote, and giving them rice at the end of the day, those people would vote for PDP. Both parties have adopted different strategies, but if you ask me, PDP's strategy would yield more results at the polls because that's where it matters. Elections are won in the field not online.

obua:
Increase in tarrif for power does not depend on GEJ. There is a law and a body that manages that now. Without cost effective tarrifs, the power sector can not function and make investment. You can actually reduce your power bills by switching to energy saving bulbs and other appliances.

double0seven:
Stop trying to be over smart jare. in 2015, we have two choices between us: it's either Buhari or Jonathan. Jonathan defiantly does not represent any change.
There are already signs that corruption will only get worst if he is reelected.

Just two days after PDP's fundraising dinner, in which Tunde Ayeni donated 2 billion naira, and power sector donated 50p million, approval was given for the increase in PHCN tariff. I'm even hearing the controversial service charge of N750 which you pay whether you have light or not will be increased to N1000. Meanwhile PHCN has refused to supply the populace Prepaid Meters and the government refuse to compel them to do so.

Nigerians will be their own worst enemies if they vote in this wicked government. Jonathan is wicked. The fact that he smiles all the time and behaves gently does not make him good. He does not have the interest of Nigerians at heart, only that of his corrupt friends.

Ogbonaikenna:
Mr President, Shelve your 2015 ambition and declare niger delta republic. Be well assured that we will declare biafra too and fight as warriors against any invading force.

tonychristopher:
Previous rulers from the Northern part of Nigeria, looted and mismanaged resources, yes, HISTORY MUST be told. Before Jonathan assumed office, what was the condition of all the refineries in Nigeria? Hausa Generals MISMANAGED the refineries and everything in the oil and gas sector. Refineries weren't functioning, and was used to siphon public funds every time ( TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE ). Strangely, Nigeria, became an importer of refined petroleum products long before Jonathan came on board. #Shame

Northern muslims REJECTED anything true federalism or resource control. If the north, ain't obsessed about the free money (OIL) from the Southern part of Nigeria, they would have developed their on resources and be self reliant. If oil producing states were allowed to control their resources, those oil producing states would have suffered the CONSEQUENCES of oil dependency alone( OIL BUST). As expected, North Dakota, Texas and other oil producing states are feeling the HEAT of falling oil prices alone, none oil producing states/ USA Government are going about their businesses, thanks to TRUE FEDERALISM. NIGERIA MUST BE RESTRUCTURED. It doesn't matter who wins the president, only true federalism can bring CHANGE.

I have said it here over and over, again, I'll repeat it on your page, Segun, Northern muslims are the BIGGEST problem in that country. Northern Nigeria, is the KILLING field of africa. From pre-independence till date, rioting, killing christians/southerners and violence, are the recurring headlines coming from that region ( wretched of the earth). Buhari, said, "dog and baboons will soak in blood" consequently, when he lost the 2011 election, Buhari's supporters went on rampage and kill hundreds of innocent people.

tonychristopher:
From the way you talk I guess you must be a Yoruba man..I am not ijaw I am Igbo so maybe we have different mentality and orientation... why is it that you want government to spoon feed you . I notice this trend amongst your people

Back to oil ..I said why must you so dependent on oil and why can't you think out of box ...in my place we don't give a damn about oil and we still produce

If the oil price will crash that will be better it will make us to start thinking

Coming to refinary tell your governors to go apply for license to refine like Oriental did in anambra state ..this is the way it should go

Don't start this year with dependance but think creatively ...in my place in Nnewi we have industries and they are doing great if we had this mentality uouvhave we won't achieve this

Try it and stop Jonathan this and that and believe in yourself

Happy new year
