tit: you will be the one playing russian roulette when you go to the market to buy foodstuff.
Has your governor/local govt chairman closed down markets to stop the spread of ebola fever?

ask am. I believe him follow bath salt water.

Bright2: I was there live & direct today.The stadium was filled up in and out ,i thank God for the security & the atmosphere today was friendly as we didn't register any casualty or death.
The south south people are solidly behind Jonathan & let me quickly remind those who convey rumour about Nyesom Wike based on what i saw today,i think that man is on the track of being the next Governor of Rivers State.

guy God bless you. People like online rumours that's why I no de follow them argue. The place was agog with uncontrollable wild jubilation. I'm proudly PDP and if not for work I would have been there live.

edundayo: I wouldn't count on that that figure cause it seems to overrated and "borrowing the word of the panelists" not feasible; 3,100 is 1,900 over the usual 1,200. I'll like to align myself with 1,500 which to me seem more reasonable. Don't get me wrong if it were possible I'd be glad even all invited for the interview were awarded.

yea, you sound right

kel4soft: According to the MC, he said Buruju mobilized 1000 people from South West for this rally. Seeing the attendance and IMO, very low turn out. I will say maybe is because of the Ebola scare or probably TAN didn't do their work very well.
The biggest lie from them was that 4.4million signed for Jonathan to come back. Even the personalities that attended the rally bar the PDP elective office holders just Odili (Who is struggling to be relevant) and maybe one or two. The heavy weights from Rivers state were conspiciously missing. Maybe they see TAN as Igbos 'arrangee'. If the President feels TAN can deliver him in 2015, I am just laughing my ass off.

this one na big fat lie. I no follow una with all this lie peddling

hardywaltz: Sharp guy na Ebola tinz make u no go talk true.
Fear fear e-warrior, na only for Nairaland/Facebook/Twitter una type dey get power. When e enter real lyf una go get so many excuses. Abeg make I find better person follow yarn.
Bye coward.

[color=#000099][/color] guy free me na. I follow sign that registry sef sharply during my lunch time.

hardywaltz: Lol
No need for insults..
hope u have collected ur N5k + T-shirt + Ebola

chairman, sorry to disappoint you eh. I still de office since morning. I wish I was on off today, would have been there live.

hardywaltz: Hope u noticed the empty seats behind @ the stadium so una no later claim say five hundred thousand people attended the rally even when the stadium is 16,000 capacity.

yea I did. Y dint u snap wen d seats were filled before the people thronged to the stage. Do you not c by ur picture that the entire field was packed up? You just shot yourself in the foot

hardywaltz: What Akpabio the A.ss licker wasn't there?

Don't u find it curious that Gov. Dickson rarely attends anything concerning GEJ? Very soon we go know how many people when stand with Broda Jona.

So out of 6 SS Govs only 2 deemed it fit to attend, so much for support.

PS: I heard Buruji Kashumu rented people from South West.

yes he wasn't there. He was busy licking your ass. Dickson sent rep now it means he's at loggerheads with GEJ dt made him gov. Mr. Foreign ss has 4 PDP govs or were u expecting apc govs especially arc enemy CRA to attend? By d way he went for his apc ctc chairman burial. Ps: buruji I learnt rented you and you father's children.

musiwa93: that is it.. nobody came.. because the people hate Jonathan Goodluck for shouting south south.. because they want to be called easterners. and not south south. they will not support anyone who support south south when they are mostly igbo people.. even in akwa ibom state, they burn down jonathan building, because they dont hate been categories as south south.

did you come here? Tv showed it but you have refused to watch.

hardywaltz: Let's hope after the rally These Transformation Ambassadors do not turn to Transmission Ambassadors.

Schools are shut down but political rallies are holding every day. The clown GEJ became President without lifting a finger now everything must shut down because of his ambition.

When we say this regime is clueless una go dey argue.

PS: heard not a single Governor from the South South showed up. Transformation my foot.

absolutely false. Governors of Delta and Cross River were physically present while Bayelsa and Akwa-Ibom sent reps

oluwafemi113: I DON’T NEED TO BE A GRADUATE TO KNOW THAT: Am not going to vote for someone who once had no shoes and no school bag as a student but now has lots of shoes and bags but made student go on strike for about Eight ( Months. NEVER Am not going to vote for someone who couldn’t rescue about 230 girls but still has plans to rule a country of about one hundred and sixty million (160 million) people. NEVER Am not going to vote for a grown up man who took advice from a Seventeen (17) year old girl before he could make his own decisions. NEVER Am not going to vote for a Black Commander of an Army who brought white marine soldiers to do his job and yet nothing was done. NEVER Am not going to vote for a government who couldn’t provide a job for graduate , post graduate and for Masters Degree holder. NEVER Finally, am Never going to vote for anybody who needs One Billion American Dollars to solve an insurgency while the ordinary man on the street ‘no even get hundred naira to take chop’. NEVER Am a good Nigerian who needs change, am tired of hardship and am tired of deceit. You can scold me for speaking the truth, don’t forget truth is always bitter, All I need is CHANGE and nothing else…

the change you talk about is apc right? Answer before I know how to reply you.

iluvnaija: So you want me to believe that? Or is that the figure they are going to tell us vote for GEJ in 2015? Haba!

Did you see the signatures? Or they just came up with figures just like they do during elections.

you are very free not to believe and it has not effect on the signatures. Wait make dem come show you for your house

A total of 4 million signatories from the south south zone alone in support of GEJ second tenure at the tan rally in PH.

Ya'll needed to see how the crowd went gaga when Wike came on stage. APShit DOA in Rivers

Beync: there should have been screening center at entry and exit point and not just sanitisers

e de dia too.

So they dint mistakenly tall someone how many they are taking?

Nobleval: And Ebola is out there

out where? The stadium?

Toosure70: where are ur DSS. gej olodo

this wan de curse him father. No be only fire, na brimstone.

ogmask: I do not think this is the right time for this in view of the health hazard. It has been drizzling here in phc and who knows who has been infected thru one of the numerous primary and scondary contacts.

Our leaders should put on their thinking caps now more than ever.

At the barber shop last night a young man told me he will attend because he heard money will be shared. I asked him if he knows the implication of comin in contact wit an exposed person he said it was not his portion.
I then asked him if he will vote come 2015 and what will influence his choice of candidate shuld he vote. He said he will vote for GEJ because he is an Ijaw man.

My fear here is ebola is not like HIV that can be contrated thru careless esposure. This is dffnt. Any body can be infected. Wether u ask for it or not and that puts the pple around u at rist. Pple shuld be careful where they go and how they mingle.

Nuf said for now.

my brother stop deceiving people, only the gravelt sick have the capability of transmitting. What would such a person be doing in a rally as such? Wouldn't he be in a hospital on seeking for medicare? Besides there are sanitizers everywhere at the entry and exit points

APC children thread for venting of anger. When una tire una go meet hell rufai for job well done. They sent Ebola to ph to disrupt rally, fixed the burial of the ctc chairman of phalga same day in a bid to reduce attendance but what did they get in return, tune to ait or channels to find out. Dem go begin abuse their father now. Watch and see

drestoneokuta: with ebola out there? Me I no do ooo. My love for GEJ no reach that one o

lol, Ebola patients were asked no to come.

Driving along stadium road from airforce junction heading to elekahia, I can't help but notice thousands of people flooding the entire stretch of the road on a match down to the stadium. At this moment the whole stadium is filled to the brim and overflowing with citizens of this beautiful country wearing similar polo shirts and inscribed at the back "I love GEJ". Showing on AIT right now.

Can someone who's yet to be interviewed in Abuja or presently at the venue kindly ask one of the officials how many they plan on taking?

Nice posts. Let's be thanking God in anticipation. Amen.

edundayo: On my way home from my interview in Abuja; I faced Panel 11 and though they seem somewhat nice, they were very critical; "whatever you are offered make sure you use it well and when you get the money spent it wisely"

Now I concur; one of the main aim of the panelist is to reduce your grant. Did they say present and defend? I'd say it was rather present and submit (because effective defending was defeated by the proactive resistance of the panelist).

One of the guys in the validation team said they were instructed by the Presidency to increase the awardees to 1500.

I did my best and left the rest in Gods' hands "in God I Trust".

really? So it can equally be true that everyone who participated would be given something and the value depends on how your panel deem it. It will be great if this would be the case.

I present to you all Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi the presidential candidate of APC.

ok.

medoty: For 3 days they have interviewed 560 candidates in Abuja. Possibly over 1000 will be interviewed by the end of the exercise.

The dude is being endured like a bitter pill in the mouth waiting till the day its expunged.

RIVERS State Governor Chubuike Amaechi was cleared by the Supreme Court on October 25, 2007 and sworn in to take over from his cousin, Sir Celestine Omehia.

Amaechi started well in terms of infrastructural upgrade and development in the areas he referred to in his speech while declaring open the Nigeria Girls Guild Association National Camp and 95th anniversary celebration at the Archdeacon Brown Educational Centre in Port Harcourt. What was not true in his statement was his claim of providing food on the people’s table. Mr. Governor, that you built 500 model primary schools meant for a selected few in those communities and each of which you could not have employed 50 persons, or that you built 140 model primary health centres and increased the number of doctors in state-owned hospitals does not mean you have built an economic infrastructure for the state as you also claim.

However, in your own thinking you felt you have done so wonderfully well and with the little accolades you received for your little efforts from a few individuals, you felt you have arrived and so can say or do whatever you like. Just like Lucifer, pride and arrogance set in and you felt you have done what no other governor has done. In your thinking, you can now challenge anybody, no matter who, with your pocket achievements.

With all your self-acclaimed achievements, has the economic status/standard of living of the Rivers people changed? The situation has become worse. Ask an average Rivers man and you will find the truth.

Now, talking about voting a person and not party as you urged, it is amazing for you who has never won any election on your own credibility outside of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to be the one advising Nigerians on how to vote. Mr. Governor, let’s tell you the truth that nobody has dared to tell you, your candidature as the governorship candidate for the PDP in 2007 was not sellable even though the power broker at the time saw you for whatever reason as a probable possibility in his rank of errand boys. So what did you guys do? Shop for the people’s choice whom you and your superiors in the caucus had agreed to use as a bait to achieve your aim, and who else was this scapegoat, the people’s choice, other than your own cousin (Omehia) whom you knew had the charisma to deliver the state.

We do not intend to use this medium to cause further bad blood between you and Celestine, but if the truth be told, Amaechi, you rode on your cousin’s back (popularity) to become the governor. It was a plot unknown to your cousin. Remember the then EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, threatened to resign and apologise to Nigerians if you Amaechi was allowed to be the candidate? Talking about credibility.

It wasn’t a surprise to us when you, like Lucifer to God, assumed the role and position of an equal to President Goodluck Jonathan and attempted and still attempt to discredit his person and office directly and indirectly as the content of your opening speech at the Nigeria Girls Guild anniversary celebration tagged, “2015: VOTE FOR CHANGE, NOT PARTY,” as published by National Daily of August 16, 2014 suggested.

Mr. Governor, like the agama lizard you are myopic and feel you have performed creditably with the few projects you were able to execute in almost eight years in office. Your achievement is like that of a very wealthy man who has many children all of whom were very intelligent yet could only give just one of them good education. That you built model schools and healthcare centres and equally expanded some roads within the metropolis does not justify the money you receive monthly as allocation for Rivers being the second largest oil producing state. The costs of all your projects for eight years put together is far less than your allocations for a year. So what happened to the remaining money? Personal refinery and others?

We wish to let you know that despite your eight years as governor you are still very unpopular politically among the Rivers people. An internationally recognized opinion poll would prove this. You are like a bone forced through the throat of the Rivers people. Your worthlessness in Rivers politics showed in the 1999 state House of Assembly election in which you were floored by Mr. Uche Okoku you later schemed out. For each position you have attained politically, it has been like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

If anyone is to advise Nigerians on who to vote for in 2015, it shouldn’t be you. How can a man who bites the fingers that fed him without remorse talk about integrity? Those men referred to are the likes of Sir Dr. Peter Odili who made up the caucus that brought you to power. They worked tirelessly behind the scene to ensure you become who you are today, yet you turned around to haunt and indict them as soon as you succeeded in the plot they hatched for you in the kangaroo Kayode Eso ‘Truth Reconciliation Commission’ you set up. What and who were you really reconciling? You were just wasting state funds to gain cheap popularity. These men that gave Rivers State the face you carry today you attempted to discredit and rubbish before the world and the Rivers people in particular, the same people they have served diligently.

The President is not your equal in any area at all. He is the only Nigerian president who has done so much within the shortest possible time and has remained selfless in his discharge of duties. Like our advice to your fellow traveller, Governor Fashola of Lagos State, if you are in doubt of the President’s visible achievements across the country, you either take time off and go round yourself or approach the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) group for guidance. Is Rivers State left out of this? Of course not, but your eyes of a newfound opposition won’t let you see. By the way, what happened to your vice presidential dream that blinded your sense of reasoning? It was the main reason you were manipulated to fight the presidency, but you have been used and dumped, isn’t it? What exactly were you thinking, that these people do not know your history of biting fingers that fed you? And you felt they could trust a betrayal like you? What a shame? How do you expect outsiders to trust a man who betrays his own brothers for money and power? Brothers who made a faceless and nameless man to become somebody. Who is Amaechi without PDP and the men who ensured you became governor without an election in Rivers State?

If you really think your person counts in Rivers without the backing of the PDP and the powers that be in the state, then prove yourself by contesting for the Senate like many other past governors did and find how popular you are even among your very own. Mr. Governor, you are a nobody without PDP.

Mr. Governor, you may have come from the same region as the President, he could for all we care be related to you like former Governor Omehia, but note very seriously that the President is the number one citizen of this nation and by this singular reason the father of Nigeria. Therefore, any senseless attack on the person or the office of the President is an attack on all well-meaning Nigerians and like the wise children of a good father, we shall fight relentlessly any individual or group whose aim is to give him a name that is not his.

We shall not sit back and allow a few disgruntled elements attempt by their utterances and behaviours to turn this nation into a war zone.

Peace is good, but if the only way to achieve it is through a fight, your guess is as good as ours.

Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

•Ugbovoro and Izomor are National Coordinator and Secretary, Movement for Democratic Principles.

My governor, some people call him the lion or the tribe of ubima, but we call him the "SQUIRREL OF THE TRIBE OF UBIMA". He's a pathetic fellow who talks without any senses. He embarrasses the good people of Rivers State daily.

size38: Wike and his GDI/ PDP can always shout. Amaechi commands the crowd unlike that thug called Wike who has no electoral value in Rivers state. He will never become Governor come rain, come sun.

. The SQUIRREL OF THE OF UBIMA moving and pulling crowd. That was why he could not secure up to 100,000 people in a population of over 5,000,000 eligible men and women in his largely failed APC registration. Fear no let am conduct LG election. Before any APC penchant fit brag about anything in my State go and ask your lilly-livered CRA to conduct our LGA elections. If he can't do that none of you dare open your mouth to say anything you have no knowledge about. He will be so humiliated that he will live to regret being what he is. Demdem this is the last time I ever communicate with you for daring to insult my wife. Peace
