I wonder what gives APC the confidence that they will win this election. Who's deceiving them that GMB is the peoples' choice?
Whether APC, northerners or whoever like it or not, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will complete his 8years in office as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Anyone who doesn't like it can leave the country and come back after four years.

If APC was sooo sure of winning why are they so concerned about the dates? Or is it because more PVCs have been distributed in the north than that south? Are they scared that if more PVCs are distributed they will lose? What does pdp gain by postponing the elections?

It would be better to reframe the topic as: Can Nigeria survive without the Niger-Delta oil? I took the pain of reading all the posts here in reply to this particular question. While some individuals made positive and realistic observations, others were bent on onleashing their natural acrimony and in-born hatred for the north, as though the north has been the cause of their misfortune and poverty-stricken lives. To this latter group of people, may I advice you to rescind on your negative opinion which you might have gotten through bad indoctrination.
Now back to business, the north can very much survive , without recourse, if the Niger-Delta oil is severed from them. How many countries of Africa have oil? Those without oil are even well off. Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritius, South Africa, Morocco, name them, and Ghana-which just spudded their oil. "Necessity they say, is the mother of invention". So, no shaking at all. I leave that to your imagination. Yes the north may be backward in education and social development, but as I write now, the region is transforming tremendously through the positive impacts of public campaigns, awareness programmes, and government inducement. when I say 'north' , I mean the far-north because the north-central is well off the hook.
Talking about oil, which region has benefitted more from oil wealth in Nigeria? Ofcourse without any contemplations, it is the South-south especially through their 13% derivation formula. According to a US publication on Niger-Delta in 2006, over 400 billion naira is generated through bunkering activities in the Niger Delta annualy. An evil perpetrated by the so-called elites of the region and the militant groups, in the name of fighting for justice. Ironically, this is the region that is crying loudest for underdevelopment. The report also says that if the proceeds of the stollen oil were ploughed back for economic development and infrastructure, the region would have clearly become a paradise. This suggests that the Niger Delta struggle is basically for self aggrandizement and not for economic freedom. Unknown to this challatans, this struggle has lost steam and popularity. Is it corruption? How many past governors from the oil rich Niger Delta have been indicted by EFCC? We know all those from that region who have built private refineries abroad and carted away billions of naira to foreign land!! So much to say, but with this few points, I have been able to disabuse your little brains, all those who are confused about the subject matter. Leave the north alone!!! Be mindful about how to make Nigeria better. Virtually, all regions have their perculiar problems. Nigeria surfers an epidemic malady and it's wrong to point accusing fingers to one particular region alone. I think what is important for now is how to diversify the economy to reduce over dependence on oil. ONE LOVE.

Even Lagbaja said in several interviews that he got lots of inspirations from KSA among others. Anyway Lagbaja may have his turn later, he is even an alumnus of OAU.

You are 100% right my bro,but the basis of my argument was simply that beign norminated for or having won a grammy's does not signify the academic significance of your music, They want him as a MUSIC LECTURER for God's sake, Like someone said its like having your old uncle in the village that has done farming all his life apply for the post of a lecturer at OAU the agriculture department, Then he would be sharing his wealth of FAULTY IDEAS and not experience with the students.? , Someone then would want to argue that he has the largest farm in their village, d'you know what i mean now ,

And then micheal jackson should be made to lecture rock and pop at berkleeys or royal college of music,

I think the problem is people's view of what music really is, it's got its own professional side,

In defence of some, some of them may not actually have  known that the man was married in the first place, possibly in love with him, although shocked, upset, angry etc when she finds out it may not be easy for her to just pull loose from him even when she now knows, love cannot just fade just like that, even with the lies and selfishness on the man's part.

Those who know but continue dating are the Ojukokoro's, thunder fire their arses.
But then again, both the married man and the 'girlfriend' are in the wrong, then again, every wrong doing has it's consequence, package with their names on it, ready to be let loose, there's will surely arrive one day.
