Politicians have no honour. A few months ago they said this man could not win a ward ....calling him all sorts of names ... now it is dobale time. Baba should show them all the ten videos existing in which he was promising those opposed to GEJ that he will do only one term. He should also show them the video of a President of 170million people denying the agreement. Finally he should show them all the newspaper clippings of insults and denigration he has received in the last two years.

Dear GEJ,
Gov Amaechi constested the 2011 elections and defeated Abiye Sekibo (ACN); Celestine Omehia (APGA) his main rivals.
He also ensured that ur clueless self also got 2 million votes.
Even if ur clueless over paid aides can't inform u properly at least consult Google.

Abi na so u take do ur PhD Thesis?

Amaechi who was a state speaker for twp terms and won the 2011 elections has won more elections than GEJ who has only won one election in his.life.

What are they afraid of The fear of GEJ is the begining of wisdom sha. GEJ till 2019!!!

GEJ?.
It is Buhari they are afraid of. He is sitting on about 18million registered votes. They need to keep him in APC. Also he is the lone outsider within the political class and If mago mago happens at the primaries, he will run as an independent candidate which is dangerous for all politicians whether PDP or APC.

The first wife remains sacked. She was taking government contract from the military regime of IBB whilst Buhari was still under detention.
At some time in this country, there used to be principles.There are men of honour and ordinary men. Nigeria's leaders have to grow up to the serious business of moral rearmament otherwise it is going to be the same old story of presidents being insulted on the pages of newspapers and on the internet for sport.

onoja12:
This is what we have been expecting from GEJ all this years,now he has started behaving like the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria not the ijaw President,i hope it isnt too little too late

GEJ is finally overgrowing the 'locality' in him. What next is to stop travelling to new York with 200 people and making dumbbass statements like 'America will know'. America does not know fuckall. Nigeria's leader should be composed, versed in our home grown ideology and be able to articulate national interests instead of projecting inferiority complex and cluelessness. Leadership is not small beans.

This was Jona's first chopping. He has since followed up with more deals.

happening right now.
Multiple Explosion rocks Damaturu City Centre.

This is coming few hours after the relaxation of the curfew period two days after the repel of an onslaught by Boko Haram by local vigilantes and the Nigerian Military.

Modified:

Now as breaking news on TVC news. 4 bombings incidence and airforce jets scrambled to take on insurgents.

Boko Haram attacks in waves, what did you expect?.

Sadly there are few intelligent observers on Nairaland. Why are the young in Nigeria so stupid and blind?.
The Emir of Kanto called for this same thing a few weeks ago and IBB has started calling for the same thing. Is there a pattern here or are you people too busy cheering the 'clueless one' that you can't see the north is planning something dangerous?. This is a most stupid and empty generation. I am sorry for all of you. Anyway someone should tell the DSS to look into this. There is something dangerously pregnant.

This poll is wrong. It is not representative. You cannot do a poll on Lagos, Portharcourt and Abuja and say you are doing a POP. They have interviewed a narrow demographic, which is the educated, urban youth from three statesunder 40 and you say you are doing poll. Big lie.
In a few months the truth will come out.

truefact:
I wonder why other tribes seems to hate the Igbos, yet none of them have deemed it worthwhile to start campaigning for the expulsion of Igbo from Nigeria. ..don't you think it would be good for the Yoruba and Hausa to start campaigning and propaganding for expulsion of Igbos from Nigeria?

There is too much selfishness and self absorption. Who loves such people?. You experiment it and go around thinking only of yourself throughout an entire day and come and tell me how the day went. There is an infantile way of thinking and acting in the public domain that annoys other tribes and turns people off Ibos. You guys behave as if other interests don't exist and then react in surprise when very very violent reaction results from that attitude. In any case you guys are good traders and you can continue doing that, the sector is cabalistic as well and no other tribes seem able to break into wherever you guys operate. By the way, your problem is not the north alone. I jave it on good authority that the Ijaw, Akwa Ibom and Mid western tribes as well cannot stay in the same republic peacefully and would do everything to resist that. So if you guys are breaking away, you are on your own.

Ojiofor:
He achieved all this just in six months?he must be a superman.

He actually was. There was nothing this guy did that wad ordinary. Obj, Danjuma, Buhari IBB and David Mark.are still alive. Go ask them about who their boss was? Also try playing a clip of Muhammed addressing the OAU or UN General Assembly and campare with the current president. You will realize, you are either born with it or not. Charisma cannot be forced.

PROUDIGBO:
^^^I for one have given up on this country; a country where some celebrate mass murderers just b'cos the victims were the very people they despise!

Many pretending we have one 'united and indivisible' country need to wake up to the reality starring them in the face!

Nigeria actually does not need Ibos. You guys can take a hike if you want to keep dragging out mistakes of your past and blame others for it. A group of young revolutionaries do a coup and kill only leaders from a particular region, what infantile and unrealistic thinking makes you not to expect maximum retribution?. Post coup and unifying actions were expected from the hapless Ironsi but that one too degraded into closeminded parochialism. You think you don't get punished for lack of wisdom?. You guys can go... i don't think your region within Nigeria is viable though and the people are not capable of self sacrificing and cooperative relationships with each other. So with all their disadvantages in education and technology, the north is actually more viable than the east.

zendy:
The people loved him out of ignorance or what? So when a man masterminds the deaths of so many people,that man should be loved if he 'shoots' his way to power and brings about popular reforms? Hitler did something similar in Germany but Germans never put him on the deautch mark. Hmmmm....... What stops Shakau being on the 100 Naira note one day?

Muhammad did not cause the death of Ibos. Ojukwu did and cowardly ran away ...and by the way, Ojukwu had nothing but disrespect for Gowon but for Murtala it was undisguised fear and respect. Go and do your research and face facts. The truth is always painful.

Murtala Muhammad was Nigeria's best leader. A real transformative character. Extremely courageous almost to the point of foolhardiness. Corruption free. Drove about without convoys, spiritual, ascetic and self sacrificing. Sometimes full of braggadocio, active, visionary.
The best foreign policy Nigeria ever had was under Muhammad. The liberation of South Africa and Zimbabwe and MPLA's victory in Angola were the doings of Muhammad.
You may not have been alive at the time but take it from me that Nigeria was not always a dirty, corrupt, cesspool governed by a corrupt, clueless and visionless coward.

This man is now a full blown liar. Where is the money going to come from?.

EndtimeBlessing:
Summary of the long article:

1) Boko Haram may continue to gain ground because Nigeria cannot finance the cost of fighting it.
2) Nigeria now export zero barrel of oil to America, hence the country is of zero importance to America.
3) Because of number 2 above, America may just stand by and watch Nigeria implode when push comes to shove.
4) Oil price will continue to drop, and Nigeria depends on oil.
5) Nigeria is already loosing 10% of her oil production capacity to oil bunkering.
6) Because of number 4 above, there is likely to be breakdown of law and order as new economic realities drive home.
7) Because of number 4 above, the Nigerian political system which depends on corruption will collapse if there is no oil money to lubricate it.
America is using Nigeria as the experiment to see how countries that are over depended on oil will fail or fear this period.
9) America actually helped Nigeria to negotiate agreement with MEND during the Niger Delta insurgency.
10) This agreement will expire next year and will need to be re-financed, Nigeria cannot afford this expenses right now.
11) America is beginning to see herself as Nigeria's competitor in the oil market, and you know what competitors do?
12) If oil price falls to as low as $50, Nigeria may have to stop producing oil.
13) Nigeria is expected to be the first country to collapse among the countries that did not diversify their economies.

There is an urgent need for a strong national leader who has the love of the country in his heart. Someone who the mere mention of the country breaking up will provoke righteous anger in him. We don't need a nonentity who does not have strong core values and a mind of his own.

mikeansy:
IBB is one of the most misunderstood Nigerians

He made mistakes but he was one of Nigeria's most transformational leader!

IBB was a very intelligent man but not an intellectual ...you always come away with that impression at every interview. Philosophically though, this is a low mentality man (as Fela would say). To get and retain power he turned himself a prostitute to every power centre in the world; CIA, drugs, economic hit men et.c . He transformed Nigeria negatively because he did not understand the right dose and sequence of western imposed economic conditions to apply. He was also extremely corrupt and destroyed the Nigerian Army, airforce and navy. No, definitely his kind is very low mentality. The only reason someone can admire the guy is at a personal level, he is charming and generous...otherwise this guy was a real blunderer. Generationally he and Abacha were the reason why Nigeria is behind Dubal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil and every other third world country we don't compare well against in infrastructure and power generation/distribution.

Awolowo, Murtala Muhammed, Buhari.

barcanista:
I strongly disagree ma. Kano Politicians and even Government officials are loyal to Buhari FIRST before Kwankwaso. A Buhari singlehandedly sent Kwankwaso packing in 2003, and a Buhari endorsement returned Kwankwaso in 2011.

This is correct. Then again I don't think Kwakwanso is a diehard contender. He will finally throw in to Buhari or Rochas.

Another problem for Nigeria is that our competitors and customers are on an import substitution strategy. The US is not interested in exports of oil and gas even though they have started competing with us in LNG. What they want is a strategy to add value typically to petrochemical and for the first time in years, refineries in Texas have been having cheaper raw material coming from just next door the the Dakota's and Utah.
So Nigeria is competing with people who don't have to put oil on tankers to send abroad to the customers. Logistics cost savings alone will keeps the price differentials interesting. Advanced economies like Russia and US competing in the oil sector is very bad for us. Putin himself has started intense economic diplomacy this week to Turkey and India.

ducii:
I agree with you 100%, and take that bloody subsidy while you are at it

Agreed also
Nigeria needs the oil and gas industry only for savings and to build up force reserves.
Our real wealth is in agriculture, agro allied, solid minerals including the many of the kinds of strategic minerals found only in Congo, Tanzania and South Africa.
21st and 22nd century minerals.

ducii:
America don't just dole out money to corporations, the same America allowed Lehman Brothers to fail. If crude gets to $50, I see most of these oil companies in North Dakota and Texas going bust.

Have you seen the operations in North Dakota?. I drove past there one year ago. It is no frills high tech operations by independent producers. Very dynamic, entrepreneurial people, almost like Nigerians. A guy borrows money from the bank, drills using good data, and starts small scale production and is making only a margin of $20 a barrel but he is happy because he is a multi millionaire in three months already. There are now thousands of those entrepreneurs in the industry. Shale Oil and gas is mostly not for the oil majors yet although some are investing in it as well. The oil majors will lock in production and low oil price but the small scale independent oil producers I'll keep pumping. OPEC countries too have a price cut off, for Saudi Arabia I think it is $20 but they will pretend it is not so. For Nigeria anything below $40 is going to be very painful.

atlwireles:
Shale oil has always been here . The only reason it became a boom was the price of oil at $100 plus. If Nigeria is governed by ediots, what are governed called?

Big Idiots.

Technology will soon ameliorate the margin squeeze at lower oil and gas prices. The lower prices will curb new investments in Shale gas a little but once you have invested capital in oil and gas and have started producing you are already a player. Canadian oil sands is also very high cost but they are also producing.
Let us not depend on Shale gas producers and unconventional oil going out of business at low price, it will not happen. Also Nigeria's unit cost of production has increased onshore to the highest in the world, it was becoming comparable to Shale gas that was why Shell has dumped all its onshore fields and sold them to local operators.
The problem is the low oil price will cause the world economy to expand but after it does the increase in oil consumption will never come up again because of Kyoto, hybrid cars, electric cars and investment in renewable energy. I nearly got a job last week in a UK company generating power for municipal use from waste and sewage, things are happening fast....so get your government thinking, stop them stealing or vote them out.

ducii:
But you are forgetting Jobs Jobs Jobs that will be lost, and don't forget that the people preaching alternative sources of energy needs high oil price to make their ventures profitable, the Electric car manufactures will go burst because those Electric cars are Expensive to acquire.

Apart from that ....all the short term problems caused by OPEC price wars in the US will be subsidized out by the American government. Even now I am sure they are already packaging loan guarantees, subsidies and other support measures to help their industry. US has '000s of smart energy economists and investment bankers and they can do anything. The cheap money to protect shale oil and gas could even be coming from the Saudis, Chinese and Russians for all you know. Let us not think Nigerian type stupidity is the norm in advanced countries. Some people actually love their motherland.

DON'T FOOL YOUR SELF THAT SHALE OIL WILL GO AWAY, AMERICANS ARE THE MOST INNOVATIVE PEOPLE ON EARTH.
The problem with Shale Oil and Gas is that it is drilling intensive. You need drilling almost every six months which is expensive. However Americans and Canadians are spending money on 'smart wells', well analytics and the complete digitisation of surface and subsurface production. American ingenuity will reduce the cost of production by $25 per barrel in th next three years I am sure. OPEC should be careful and a country like Nigeria governed by idiots should be even more careful. Oil price will NEVER EVER exceed $80 per barrel again. This are the dying embers. Nigerians need to hold their government accountable and force the oil money into productive sector that will start making a difference now. 2015 should be a year of strikes to make sure money flows into productive sectors. All the conspicuous consumption and private jet buying should be taxed painfully. Youths must have jobs, the young must be educated. American bashing will not help us, let us take our governments to the grinder.

ITbomb:
Holy cow, so what are they doing with all the siting allowances?

You just made a good case why the PDP should lose its parliamentary majority. Obj used to harass the National Assembly about slowness of bills and he has also vetoed some bills he was not comfortable with. That is elf confidence, that is strong core values. This local man we call President now does not even have the time for such finesse. It is sending bribe money regularly to the national assembly that he knows. I have not heard this simpleton complain once about the PIB or any hanging bills whatsoever and he has never even gone into confrontation with the legislature over budgets. All that has been left to the SUPER MINISTERS. In short we have an INCOMPETENT president and he must go....you guys can vote for him in Niger Delta Ogbia Republic as you don't deserve better.

theassassin:
no harm in dreaming you FOOL

GEJ till 2019 or

to your tent oh Isreal

Yes GEJ should not run and to your tents Oh Israel!!!. Nobody is scared of Rubbish.
That's statement, "to your tents Oh Israel" is not a division but a never ending chain reaction of division .
I personally want this experiment to play itself out and see how many republics come out of the the Niger Delta, I am counting about 25 republics already. It is time to call a few bluffs. I also want to see. GEJ in office as President of Niger Delta Ogbia republic if he is alive even then and no warlord challenges him for that title.
