tit: lies.
The lion of Ubima is not shaken.
He has Tinubu's backing for the VP post.

lol. Deceit of the century

Immediate past LGA chairman in Bori, Magnus Abe's home has just moved to the PDP with over 4500 pips. Details soon.

How Aliyu and Lamido deceived me- Gov. Amaechi:

"I personally do not have any issue with our President. You can ask him. The only issue was a minor disagreement between me and the wife of the President over certain aspects of government policies. And we could have resolved it. After all, I didn't continue with the demolition of the waterfronts. I stopped on her advice! However, the present feud started when Gov. Aliyu told me that the north has decided to sponsor a Tambuwal/Amaechi ticket in 2015 under the platform of the PDP. Aliyu, then pretentiously initiated a grand plan that made me the chairman of Nigeria governor's forum, just to lure me, to support his rebellious act in the PDP to stop President Jonathan. But when it became very clear that the President was in total control of the PDP. Aliyu brokered a meeting between the G7 governors and the leadership of the APC at the Niger state governor's lodge. Tinubu, Buhari, Ikimi, Tambuwal, Ribadu, Baraje, Adams and 7 other APC governors were in attendance. In that meeting, the G7 governors all agreed to join the APC. Two days after that meeting, Gov. Adams called me and advised me to remain in PDP. Then I called Aliyu and told him, that Adams has been with the APC long enough to know their intrigues, and has advised me to remain in the PDP. But Aliyu told me, that the day he discussed the Tambuwal/Amaechi ticket with the leadership of the APC that Adams objected to it and expressed his willingness to run with Tambuwal. And Aliyu warned me never to discus my interest with Adams, that Adams doesn't mean well for me. So the G5 governors continued with the plan and remained in APC. Aliyu is a chameleon and represents everything evil. He was the pioneer and architect of rebellion in the PDP followed by Lamido. We are all in shock, on how Gov. Aliyu would turn around to champion an endorsement of President Jonathan for re-election. Even up till last month, Aliyu and Lamido were still promising the G5 governors of a showdown in the PDP. The hearts of men are indeed deceitful and desperately wicked. If you have to eat with the devil with a long spoon. For Aliyu, I would rather you don't eat with him at all. Better starve to death than eat with him. If I knew, I would have listened to Adams and remained in the PDP "

Do not ask for source, it was on his allies wall on fb and we all know Aliyu's part in the story

This would make it 8 contestants to josttle for the APC ticket. Oh Boy! APC on the ....?

NIGERIA 2015: Obasanjo dumps Lamido, endorses Tambuwal for president
By Ezekiel Attah on September 21, 2014
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo appears to be strongly behind the reported presidential ambition of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, ahead of the 2015 election. Tambuwal is believed to be nursing a yet-to-be -declared presidential ambition, which could see him challenge President Good;luck Jonathan in 2015. The Speaker had flagged off consultations in recent months and had met leaders, including Obasanjo, and former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida, according to report from Nigerian Tribune Sources told the Sunday Tribune that when Tambuwal visited Obasanjo at his Abeokuta Hilltop mansion recently, the former President was unequivocal in his support for the Speaker. The former President was quoted as saying “Tambuwal, go ahead and contest the presidency in 2015. I am behind you.” Though the Speaker’s spokesman, Mallam Imam Imam, has insisted that the Speaker is still consulting over his ambition come 2015, the Speaker’s body language appears to be tilting towards presidential contest on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). It was also confirmed that the Speaker had recently consulted Babangida and former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar, on the way forward in 2015. Sources however confirmed that only Obasanjo gave an express permit to Tambuwal, while the two other leaders were cautious and prayerful. Reports had indicated recently that Tambuwal was set to declare for the 2015 election on the platform of the APC. According to the calculations, Tambuwal is expected to benefit from the goodwill of former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, who is expected to hand over SouthWest voters to Tambuwal at the presidential primaries. It is believed that the likes of General Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as well as Kano state governor, Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso, would share the votes coming from the Northern states, and bloc votes coming to Tambuwal from the South-West would make him the man to beat at the primaries. The Speaker, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), is however yet to announce his defection to the opposition APC.

lolzzzzz, I vowed not to come by here till I get my success mail but here I am. Thought I'm the only one with the restlessness. God de. We are blessed, it's not our restlessness that would make it happen, lol

In the voice of Oshio baba, "Obasanjo Go and Die"

God bless us all, amen.

GEJ all the way

Unanimously! In the voice of Oshio baba 'haters go and die'.

lolzzzzz, this is so hillarious, jeeeezzzzzzz!

AbdH: Not even the president.

it's everywhere on fb. Search 'build up nigera' and see a positive mindset being nurtured by the PDP

Please correct me if I'm wrong, no APC prominent member has in any guise said even a single word of encouragement to our Army over the victory being recorded. Ordinarily one would think after their trumpeted noise on how they didn't like the insecurity, they would have been first to celebrate the Army victories, I am however surprised the opposite is the case. Does the success mean nothing to them or were they never really concerned about the plight of the affected in the first place. I then ask, what is APC really about??

desgiezd: This is the sort of news that one likes to hear about our nation. Very cheering!

Absolutely! I have refused to join the bandwagon of those scouting the whole internet for BAD news about our papa land all in the name of politics and religion.

The dude just busy de take loan. I don't know what for. Monorail no gree waka. SMH

MadCow1: Lol..


You want to lock him up for building a 21st century rail system in Rivers State?!

Amaechi and his monorail should be locked up together

Agric minister says cocoa crop to more than double

agric_min_akinwunmi-adesinaNigeria’s cocoa production is expected to more than double within three years after farmers were supplied with better-yielding seeds, Minister of Agriculture and Natural Resources Akinwunmi Ayo Adesina said.

Nigeria has given farmers hybrid seedlings to boost yields fivefold, Adesina said in a Sept. 14 interview with Bloomberg Television Africa in Abuja, the capital.

“In another 2 1/2 to 3 years you’re going to see a huge bump in the production of cocoa,” the minister said. “We expect that within a couple of years you will see that jump to 800,000 metric tons” a year.

Nigeria is the world’s fourth-largest cocoa producer behind Ivory Coast, Ghana and Indonesia, according to the London-based International Cocoa Organization. Nigeria’s production was 240,000 tons this season, according to the organization. The minister estimated it at 350,000 tons.

“We can afford to lose to the Elephants of Ivory Coast and the Black Stars of Ghana in soccer, but not in cocoa. So we are after them,” the minister said, referring to the national teams of Nigeria’s cocoa-growing rivals.

Ivory Coast produced 1.73 million tons of cocoa in the current season while Ghana produced 920,000 tons, according to the International Cocoa Organization. Cocoa futures traded in London jumped 16 percent this year to 2,005 pounds ($3,269) a ton today on the Liffe exchange.

At the same time Nigeria is expanding its rice production, part of a government drive to reduce annual food imports of more than $10 billion, he said.

Rice Exporter
The country aims to be a net exporter of rice in three years, the minister said.

“Every single day, I have people coming to my office who want to do rice, not import,” said Adesina, citing Singapore-based Olam International Ltd (OLAM) and Nigeria’s Dangote Group’s investments. Olam said in 2012 it was investing $50 million in its rice farm in the central Nasarawa State. Africa’s richest man Aliko Dangote is investing $1 billion in local rice production.

“Rice is the most profitable commodity in Nigeria,” with a rate of return for investing in rice sitting between 42 and 45 percent, Adesina said.

Africa’s most populous nation of about 170 million people would first have to become self-sufficient, the minister said.

In the 2013-14 marketing year, Nigeria produced about 2.77 million tons of rice and imported 3 million tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The gap between that and local consumption of 6 million tons a year, the biggest in Africa, was met from stocks.

Monsanto, Syngenta
Nigeria also imported 4.55 million tons of wheat, the most in sub-Saharan Africa, and 1.47 million tons of sugar.

As part of its drive to boost local crop production Nigeria is encouraging seed companies to set up and expand and is considering legalizing the use of genetically modified seeds and food.

Monsanto Co. (MON), the world’s largest seedmaker, and Syngenta AG (SYNN), the fourth-largest, are some of the companies expanding their operations in Nigeria, as the country seeks to pass regulations to allow the use of GMOS.

While in Africa, GMOs are permitted in South Africa they are barred in many countries on the continent and the cultivation of most biotech crops is banned in the European Union.

“I make absolutely no apologies at all for Nigeria to use modern science,” Adesina said. “What is important is regulation. You have to make sure that you are regulating properly, that you’re looking at impact and the risks and you are managing them.”

I'm loving this. Waiting for his parrot Ibim to try the 'lion'

The rate at which Sahara spreads falsehood is unimaginable. It's time to shut dem down.

Lolzzzz

Hahaha, I no fit laugh. Mbu God bless you jare!

brainpower: Politics in Rivers state! Anyway 2015 will tell. But my problem is that more than half of Nairalanders will not go out to vote that's if they legible to vote. Mbu has left Rivers States yet he is stillbeing talked about, its like a lot of people know, amaechi has so much ego and never likes being beaten and the reason why he is still complaining is that he didn't win Mr. Mbu. 2015 will tell

. The dude is freaking out.

I can bet 85% of the......... Commenting here have no idea who Ibim is. Imagine joining issues with one who has fallen to the level of insanity because of love of money. If you people commenting are sensible you would confirm what the shameless liar who forgets she's a lady and as such should be careful of what she says in public, spews from her gutter all in the name of pleasing Amaechi. Google is your friend, search and you will know how much in billions GEJ has expended in Uniport in particular and other colleges in general here in ph. People should have sense o. I don waka

I pray that we all live to see Mbu become the next EFCC boss while Amaechi runs around the world looking for a safe hole to hide. All those monies he and his friends in the assembly have been giving to themselves as loans MUST be accounted for with the help of Mbu as EFCC Chair.

size38: Governor Amaechi should relax while we answer Mbu on his behalf. Mbu is so unprofessional as a police officer. Mbu cannot thrive as a police officer in any sane society. It is only countries like Nigeria where the likes of Mbu can think they are so professional. I challenge Mbu to travel out and see how modern police operates. Mbu's pains is his inability to remove Governor Amaechi as directed by his pay master in Abuja and the persistent protest by Governor Amaechi which led to his removal from Rivers state. Shame on Mbu.

And who are you for me to tell you what my stake is huh? Yes I am trolling, e de pain you?

barcanista: What is your stake in Rivers State? as usual you are trolling...

I did not expect you to see anything wrong with Amaechi no matter how wrond he is simply because he's tied to your despicable party.

barcanista: Mbu just confirmed that he had some bitter things against Amaechi. So unprofessional Police Chief

Amaechi is such a disgrace to us.

Denn: Announcement will be after Thursday this week.

Not a day before.... I can place a bet on that permutation.

looks like you got someone in there.

mainheart: well said. Amaechi should leave that man alone, Governor always use police but AIG Mbu is not the man to be move around by Governor

. In other states governors have good rapport with their CPs, our's is a case of irresponsibility.

Zakkyoz: beautiful nonsense!

who be dis?

Na cattle rarer him be
