An inaugural meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Southwest was held in Akure on Saturday with the objective of outlining a strategy for winning the 2015 elections in the area, with Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose reiterating the party’s old mantra that the presidential contest is a “do or die” affair.

The returnee-governor said the party must be prepared to use its control of the army and the police, which it currently controls, to ensure victory for President Goodluck Jonathan at next month’s polls.

The meeting was organized by the PDP South-West co-ordinator, Gov. Olusegun Mimiko, who shared the high table with Senitor Iyiola Omisore, Mr. Kolapo Ogunjobi, Senator Musilu Obanikoro, Governor Ayo Fayose and various leaders from the zone.

Governor Fayose underlined that the presidential election was critical, advising that the party should forget about governorship elections and concentrate on the presidential contest. According to him, once President Jonathan was re-elected, everything else would fall into place and the party could declare the governorship candidates of PDP in various States as it likes.

Do you mind showing us the last post of each of the 200 girls that disappeared under Jonathan's watch

pascal2young:
was obj a christain in his ist reign as head of state?........i doub
t

Are you kidding me? Obj's full name is Olusegun Mathew Okikiola Aremu Obasanjo. He was born a Christian unless you have a proof he wasn't.

SeverusSnape:
where is Tafawa Balewa... In fact, He was the head of government. Azikiwe was just the ceremonial head.

I've added Tafawa Balewa's years as PM during the first republic.

b3llo:
Informative but we don't need religion sentiment but rather we should focus on productivity and meaningful development. Among those Listed aboved who did well irrespective of his religion?

The purpose of the post is not present one religion as better than the other or vice versa. It is to open the eyes of the religious bigots and those being being deceived that good leadership has nothing to do with religion

These are sacred facts and figures that invalidate and trump any ethno-religious propaganda. Don't let anybody lie to you or fool you that Nigeria has been ruled majorly by northern muslims

Below is a list of civilian and military leaders of Nigeria since 1st of October 1963 when Nigeria became a republic

Nnamdi Azikwe (Christian) - 2 years 3 months
Tafawa Balewa - Nigeria's first and only prime minister (Muslim) - 2 years 3months
Aguiyi Ironsi (Christian) - 6 Months
Yakubu Gowon (Christian) - 8 years
Murtala Muhammed (Muslim) - 6 Months
Olusegun Obasanjo (Christian) - 3 Years
Shehu Shagari (Muslim) - 4 Years 2 Months
Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim) - 1 year 6 month
Ibrahim Babangida (Muslim) - 8 years
Chief Ernest Shonekan (Christian) - 3 months
Sani Abacha (Muslim) - 4 Years 7 Months
Olusegun Obasanjo (Chirstian) - 8 years
Umar Musa Yar'Adua (Muslim) - 2 years Active
Goodluck Jonathan (Christian) - 1 year Acting, 2 Years Substantive and 4 years substantive by 2015….totaling 6 years.

Total Years of Muslim Leadership since the first republic: 24 years 6 Months

Total Years of Christian Leadership since the first republic: 26 years 9 months.

Since this was a combination of both Military and civilian leadership, it will be important to State that the highest law making body in the land, the Senate has been solely led by Christian Senate presidents since inception. The list of the Senate presidents since 1960 is presented below:

Nnamdi Azikiwe 1960 - 1960 (Christian)
Dennis Osadebay 1960 - 1963 (Christian)
Nwafor Orizu 1963–1966 (Christian)
Joseph Wayas 1979–1983 (Christian)
Iyorchia Ayu 1992–1993 (Christian)
Ameh Ebute 1993 - 1993 (Christian)
Evan Enwerem 1999 - 1999 (Christian)
Chuba Okadigbo 1999–2000 (Christian)
Anyim Pius Anyim 2000–2003 (Christian)
Adolphus Wabara 2003–2005 (Christian)
Ken Nnamani 2005–2007 (Christian)
David Mark 2007 - Incumbent (Christian)

There has been no Senate president of Muslim extraction.

Sharia was introduced in Nigeria under the Federal leadership of Obasanjo, a Christian President by "mostly" PDP governors who are still members and sponsors of the PDP till date.

It was General Ibrahim Babangida that signed Nigeria into the Organization of Islamic Countries, so why the persistent lies and propaganda against Gen. Buhari.

It should be as clear as night and day that there is nothing like an ethno-religious agenda anywhere whatsoever. All the propagandas are products of intellectually deficient and delinquent politicians who cannot decently esteem the votes of the electorates.

Those playing the Ethno-Religious card purely for power grabbing objective do not have an inkling of what they are doing at all. Fire does not burn only those who start it, it destroys everything in its pathway.

Nigerians should not be too lazy to simply access available information in order to clear their doubts, misconceptions and erroneous beliefs. This is the very reason clerics on both religious sides will continue to exploit their followers who will rather believe their heresies, personal agendas and invented rules as sacred, than what is explicitly written in their respective holy books.

Waiting for Fashola's declaration speech

davidif: Dude, Man Utd bought probably the best striker in the world and we bought Danny Wellbeck. Wow!!!!

Arsenal probably withdrew from the offer because of his wages. Falcao will be earning £350k per week

Arsenal have agreed a £16m fee with Manchester United for England international striker Danny Welbeck.
Welbeck has been told by United he can leave given the impending arrival of Radamel Falcao on loan from Monaco.
https://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/77315000/jpg/_77315179_danny_welbeck_pa_body.jpg

The 23-year-old has been given permission to leave England's hotel in Watford to have a medical with Arsenal before discussing personal terms.
Welbeck joined United's academy at the age of eight and has scored 29 goals in 142 first-team appearances.
He also played 28 times during a loan spell with Sunderland, and made a further eight appearances for Preston.

The Black Cats were keen to re-sign Welbeck, a Premier League winner in 2013, while Tottenham were also interested.

But he is now set to join Arsenal, who are without striker Olivier Giroud for up to four months after he broke a leg.

Everton are the most heavily represented Barclays Premier League club, with four Blues defenders included among the back five, while the peerless 82 points Arsenal amassed during 2013 meant that two players from the North London side made the grade, in addition to their manager Arsene Wenger.

Very good. It gives us a chance to appreciate the works of our Governors. Despite the neglect from FG, SW states are still far better than others

OP you said all these started after your wife gave birth about a month ago, that means she wasn't like that before.

Your wife is probably trying to adapt to the pressures of taking care of the baby, sleepless nights, maybe sore nipples from breastfeeding and she might still be feeling pains as a result of the delivery.

What she needs from you is full support, care and encouragement. And the fact that you live in another city means you are not there for her all the time, so do what you can for her whilst you are around

PocketEconomist: mr apoti, long time! I followed your thread on the birth of your child and i must congratulate you once again. What is her name? And you were one of the people that inspired my #9. Good day and God bless.

Thanks PocketEconomist, glad you were inspired. Her name is Esther

So help you God

Chillisauce: For the girls, make sure you bathe them yourself, after three yrs, teach her to wash her private part herself. NO ONE should touch her or wash her there, even you!
Do same for the boys. As from three yrs they should be in charge of their organs.

Report to you any abuse. Bonding with your kids matter a lot

I couldn't have said it any better. Teach your kids especially the girls that the private part is strictly private. NOBODY is allowed to touch it and they should report any attempt made by anyone to do so.

The President that holds the world record for setting up committees.

PS: GEJ will set up a committee to look into the comments on this thread

Well I still remain on top of the Championship table

I can forsee loads of insults fron GEJ azzlickers on this thread

Now to my question. I've always supported APC from day one. But to be honest I'm getting a worried about how the mass defection from PDP who are corrupt by nature. Also visits to IBB, OBJ and others who are obviously part of Nigeria's problems is worrisome.
Won't these moves compromise the APC's ideologies and show that the party is desperate for power at all cost
