@werepeLeri,
it takes a child to find another. if we must call anyone childish here, it is u. pdp is saying that the petition of cpc shld be thrown out of court because it was filed in on a sunday but someone is here to remind jonathan that his govt was sworn in on a sunday and as such shld be thrown out and if you are not childish, u shld have known that this argument is based on pdp's position.
as the wisest man you claim, u shld have known what the decision of the court is that is making pdp to rush to the supreme court.
if i may ask you and pdp, what is wrong is facing a tribunal that you formed? cpc is saying the election that brought you to power is illegal and full of irregularities, all we expect from you as a democratic govt is to prove your innocence to us rather than using court injunctions to obstruct the laws of the country.
pdp has nothing to offer even in court so all they want is to buy time and let the case lasts till 2050.
it is a shame that we have a govt that ridicules the judiciary and ppl like u who think like fools and name calling remains the only way to prove your points on nairaland.
in democracy, aggrieved parties seek redress through the judiciary and there is nothing wrong with cpc doing same unless your jonathan has a skeleton in his cupboard.

Gbam!!!!!

OdeChukwu means DUMB GOD.

So former Nigerian coach Christian Chukwu means Christian God

Few months ago "I wish you Goodluck" was the most used phrase in Nigeria. Why did it stop all of a sudden

Or have we come to the realisation of the fact that we need more than Goodluck 

[size=20pt]Corruption!!![/size]

This ain't no phuking fresh air

strangest:
Buhari and CPC should stop killing Nigerians under their new acquired name Boko Haram, Why are they going after those that supported GEJ, Buhari used a Christian as his running mate, yet he is not in the list, That man should be held responsible, GBAM!!!

You did not gbam anything, you just yarned rubbish, absolute rubbish

tpia@:

Kc0022000:
Thought Rccg bank plc is operational why are they banking with other bank  

You guys just made me spill my coffee on the system  

Lukkym:
As we collectively voted GEJ to government, let's join hands to call on GEJ that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

Only those of you that could not see ahead voted for him, so I suggest you lead the rally to tell him enough is enough  

amarilo:
I am posted to Bauchi State for my NYSC and i must serve there nothing will happen. Let them try me and see who my papa be.
Nonsensetical !!!!!!!!!!

You are a dead man walking

Negro_Ntns:
Apoti,

Going with that thinking offered by Gej, it gives a sneak peek into the mindset of our rulers. Each governor or president believing his regime is a personal government.

The government belong to the people. The people do not change every four years and neither is the society replaced every four years.

So there are aspects of the society that, for a wholesome sustenance, demand linkage and continuation through successive regimes.
How does he plan to implement a 20Yr vision, prpose and obtain a 20yr tenure?

President and governors should not over-commit. Promise what you can deliver within 4yrs tenure.
If it requires longer than 4yrs to implement, then it should be a pass-on to next regime.

We don't need to change constittion to accomodate tenure change. What we have is fine we just need to change mindset.

The constitution puts a pressure on the government and this for good reason. To make the three arms of government work together in finding solutions to social problems.

By amending the constitution, they are lifting the pressure off and not solving the problems.

Sad and misunderstanding of the dynamics of government and a constitutional power.

Right on point.
Our politicians make promises just to excite people and make them vote. I still remember the compilation of all GEJ promises during his campaign, he has not even done anything and he's looking for tenure extension. *smh for Nigeria

I'm not surprised he is proposing a 7-year single term This was his statement before the election:

Jonathan remarked: “I will not talk about the tenure of the Government, the constitution has said four years, though some believe that four years is too short to make any change, which I also believe. I believe because if you are a new person and you are elected as a governor today, it will take one to one and half years for you to really stabilize. And you also know that some members of your cabinet are not good and that is why in most cases, after one year or two Mr. president reshuffles the cabinet and by the time you want to go for another two and half years, it is another election and you are all busy about winning election.

mikuz:
Arrived? And where is he now?

He was held by the flood in Lagos yesterday Anyway CTU has started intelligence work already 

alj_harem:

bombing in jos x3

bombing in borno x 6-10

bombing in niger x 3

i dey laff

even independece day bombing,

This one na real FRESH AIR o  

Na wa for this country o  

Bomb dey chase people for north, flood dey sweep people for south, Fulani dey terrorise for east, where we go come run go,  

Palin:
My concern is this, why is the President silent about this menace going on in our country? A very good President supposed to at least come out openly and address this issue, so that we can know they are doing doing something about it. In developed countries the President or top government official with give a speech to show love and sympathy for the lives that have been lost so far, and also assuring its citizens that every mechanism are in place to curb this pain in the neck circumstance. They are all busy embezzling our money. God will punish all of them.

He is better off when he keeps quiet than when he speaks

0lumide:
You guys think Jonathan is weak and doing nothing? he knows the nation is getting bombed goddamnit!! He knows and he knows he has to do something but what?

He just got there and just a month into his administration, things are falling apart! It's all fishy you know!

Where is the silly Sultan of Sokoto? Isn't he the leader of Muslims? He should come out and denounce these atrocities and give a word of encouragement to the people of Nigeria!!


Buhari, May you burn in hell and corpse be blown to bits !!!!

Another deluded Gej apologist So Buhari is now to be blamed for insecurity and not GEJ.

why not blame McCain for the economic crises in the US. rubbish

The earlier we realise that GEJ is the worst elected president the better for us. For God's sake this man said he needs a year and half to settle down in office.   Since then I have concluded there's no hope for Nigeria through this man 

Jonathan remarked: “I will not talk about the tenure of the Government, the constitution has said four years, though some believe that four years is too short to make any change, which I also believe. I believe because if you are a new person and you are elected as a governor today, it will take one to one and half years for you to really stabilize.

I don't know why people turn every issue into tribal war. No one is a loser in this situation, Aganga is still in the cabinet and I believe based on his experience, he is good for Ministry of Commerce and Investment while Okonjo is better in Finance.

Both Ministries are very important to economic development and that was why they have been expanded.

We might say Aganga did not perform up to expectation in the last one year and we can crucify him for that, but Mr president has his own blame because the last thing on his mind one year ago was the economy, all his attention was focussed on the election and he did all he could to win even at the expense of the economy. There was little poor Aganga could do  

El Guapo:
Lmao!!

Goodnews! Atleast GEJ finally gets a chance to Stare In 24 Season 10

lol, 24 season 10 featuring GEJ

egift:
For all those asking for more time, do we still need time before asking for Jonathan to lead?

He already said he needs one year to settle down, he has just spent a month so please allow him

careytommy:
^^^
whether you like it or not, GEJ remains your president till 2015

Going at this rate, where we have an average of 3 attacks per week from terrorists, I doubt if Nigeria will still exist by 2015

Do we still have a president in Nigeria

It would have been much more easier for Nigeria to disintegrate into North and South at first. Further disintegration can then take place in future if there's still need for it

There's no Niger Delta group in London supporting Ibori. Its well documented that Uduaghan is paying for scumbags to fly to London to protest against Iboris trial, but by the Grace of God, Ibori shall meet his Waterloo at Southwark Crown Court

You don't get it, they are not supporting Ibori, they are actually supporting his trial. Their aim is to counter the paid scumbags protesting against the trials

A group of Nigerians is organizing an unprecedented rally in London on July 22 to drum up support for the trial of former Delta State Governor, James Ibori. The event will take place at the Southwark Crown Court, the venue of Mr. Ibori’s forthcoming trial on money-laundering charges.
In a statement issued in London, the group criticized the presence in court, at Ibori’s first appearance, of about 50 people who were alleged to have been sponsored by the Delta State Government, which is headed by Ibori’s cousin, Emmanuel Uduaghan.

“If you are offended by any act that promotes or supports corruption, this is your opportunity to show solidarity with the long-suffering Deltans whose future has been mortgaged by the alleged criminal activities of Mr James Ibori and his gang of looters,” the statement said.

Full text of the statement:
Please join us for the justice for Deltans rally scheduled for Friday July 22, 2011 at the premises of the Southwark Crown Court.

We believe it was wrong for 50 people, allegedly sponsored by the delta state government, to have protested James Ibori's trial for money laundering in the uk. We believe that the new Nigeria we are all trying to build does not provide for such pro-corruption activities.




If you are offended by any act that promotes or supports corruption, this is your opportunity to show solidarity with the long-suffering Deltans whose future have been mortgaged by the alleged criminal activities of Mr. James Ibori and his gang of looters.

Let us come out in droves to say, "enough is enough" to those who by their criminal conduct, have destroyed whatever bright future our innocent children might have.

Please invite your friends and families to this rally at the premises of the Southwark Crown Court, 1 English grounds, off Tooley street, London SE1 2HU, United Kingdom.
