No one has mentioned or asked for the significance of the red background

Yoruba_Omoge: Thought he had no shoes?

He had no school shoes bt had oda shoes

HNosegbe: Jonathan said he WENT TO SCHOOL without shoes.

He sure doesn't look like someone prepped for school.

So he could afford oda shoes except school shoes

Abati just confirmed that the shoe in picture was not owned by the president....it was loaned to him by a close friend of his cousins neighbour brother...so the president did not lie

Bros jona is d one with the white trouser

See bros jona with his 1st shoe or may be he borrowed it?

For all those shouting ugly logo etc...tell me one party in wich the beauty of the logo got ppl to vote for dem.. Or made people fall in love with the party

Today the great general will do us proud

Afam4eva: [size=14pt]But that Logo ugly die. Couldn't they have gotten a good graphic designer. It's a shabby job and i hope they don't do a shabby job on our economy.[/size]

Wat do uu suggest they should have used?

Red-Light:
i guess its time to sweep pdp 4 real...

I hope they will present meaningful candidate sha

Amen

The fact is,if u don't like the merger (or any of the parties involved) u will never like the logo even if its ur wife face

On a more serious note...the flag or logo plays a small role...they should be selfless nd willing to work cos removing PDP no be child play...

Afam4eva: But they should not forget to park it.

$
May be add a dustin too

They reason for the broom is to serve as a cleaning instrument cos nigeria is in serious need of cleaning...it also symbolises collective unity...united we stand.

Nope its for Real

New APC flag and Logo...to be announced tomorrow Tuesday

Nairalanders never fail to amaze me...blant hate..0% reasoning ...Nigeria future is bleak

General buhari is a man that is passionately loved by millions nd still adamantly hated by millions...Buhari is a political enigma

Its an opportunity for buhari to show case his new found status as a democrat and to see wat he can offer on a diplomatic front (also the his advisers)

Tolexander: When they were bombing madalla catholic church in niger state, why didn't the task force detect the attempt?
There were many other attempted bombing carried out on the churches in the north that were successful.
The only thing that baffles me is why are the bombing attempt on churches successful and the ones on mosques foiled and detected?

Wat worries me is wen a church is attacked is Islamic extremist but wen a mosque is attacked its miscreants...so it should be christian extremist attacked mosque in jos

The Special Task Force (STF)
maintaining security in Plateau said
there was an attempt by some
miscreants to bomb a mosque in Jos on
Friday night.
This is contained in a statement signed
by the STF Media Officer, Capt. Salisu
Mustapha, on Saturday in Jos.
It stated that the attempted attack on the
mosque took place at about 8.30 p.m.
The mosque, the statement added, was
located on the Bukuru expressway in
Jos South LGA.
According to the statement, the
miscreants threw a hand grenade into
the mosque but it failed to detonate and
thereafter, they fired shots in the air and
escaped.
It stated that the STF had cordoned off
the area and is closely monitoring the
place.
The statement added that
investigations had commenced with the
aim of apprehending the perpetrators.
It called on the people to report any
suspicious objects, persons and
activities in their areas to
security agencies. (NAN)

APC as the opposition are doin their job making oga jona do d right thing

franchizy: To be Frank d president was scheduled to visit Borno state in October 2011 but it was shelved cos of an international engagement. He scheduled anoda visit in 2012 bt cos of d subsidy crisis he shelved it and sent his VP. I recall his planed visit to Borno state on March 7th was planed early in January and a letter was sent to d Borno state Governor. An Aide to d Gov revealed to a source in d presidency how d Gov had planed wit d opposition Governors to hold d meeting in Borno state just to embarass d president and deceive Nigerians.
After d presidents visit to Borno state, he will visit Yobe, Gombe, Kaduna, Adamawa, Bauchi and Jos.
Nigerians shud know dat GEJ is d best president we ever had, very humble and industrious. He has performed better than all other presidents. The only president to ve fought corruption to d last later. The only president who ve never stolen one penny. The only president working with God fearing cabinets.
The only president who has changed the life of many Nigerians. I think the president needs our support to bring Nigeria bk to the promise land.
Sir, I on behalf of Nigerians and my fellow Nairalanders wish u journey mercy and Gods protection as u embark on your visit to Borno state

See story wow..u remember this..recall dat..heard dis..planed dat...if ur not paid for this am sorry for u

Dpeacemaker101: Why them still carry security?

I knw sumone who is a commander in chief, has all the security he needs but still couldn't go to maiduguri..his deputy commander went after 2 years bt went to 3 places only..emirs palace,govt house nd jtf headqts...so u see the APC governors did wat no political leader has nd wat most of us can't even with security...ask yourself...they walked 1.5km in d middle of the town to the monday market (the market has been attacked so many times), the also went to a girls skul etc...if u cant commend them atleast keep quite

Walking down a street in maiduguri

1. Pre-empting the president
The ability to out-manoeuvre your
opponent is key in politics. And with the
visit, the APC governors did that very
successfully.
For a while, questions have been asked
about President Jonathan and why,
despite the fact that Borno state has
arguably been the most troubled state
since he became president, he has not
deemed it fit to visit the state since he
became president.
Earlier this year, the government of that
state, accused the FG of ignoring the state because the state government is of a different political persuasion to the
government at the center. The FG
strenuously denied that allegation. And
even the vice-president was dispatched to the state to help thaw the ice. But still, the president hasn’t showed.
There are reports though that the president
might visit the state in the coming weeks.
But, the APC governors did it first, and
undoubtedly, to the press and in the court
of public opinion, that might count for
something. Even if it doesn’t, constantly
repeating it helps the APC score some
political points.
2. Another avenue for publicity
Even though the APC is a new party, it
cannot be said that it is an unknown party,
especially because of the heavyweights
involved.
However, considering that it hasn’t yet
started the hard work of actively getting
Nigerians to buy into their idea and
ideology, it needs all the positive publicity
it can get. And with the visit on Thursday, it
sure will get lots of that in the coming
week.
Already, they are milking it. The Osun
governor, Rauf Aregbesola wrote on his
Facebook page after the meeting that: “Our
(APC Governors) visit clearly underscores
the need for COURAGE,
CONSCIOUSNESS, COMPASSION and
DECISIVENESS which is presently
lacking in the country. The progressive
Governors forum a.k.a “APC
GOVERNORS” has demonstrated what is
needed to stabilize Nigeria and bring
security to bear.”
Of course, his post was a gross
exaggeration of the impact of their visit, but
what do they care, they’ll claim it anyway.
3. Endeared themselves into the heart
of the people
The APC governors reportedly visited a
market and a female school. Very strategic.
According to Gov. Aregbesola, “they
walked freely among the masses to a
rousing welcome and great admiration.”
Another score for them.
4. Opportunity to do some good
In their communique read at the end of the
visit, the governors said they “collectively
donated N200 million to Borno and Yobe
State governments for emergency relief
and support in the light of the Boko Haram
insurgency affecting the two states.”
N200 million is a drop considering what is
needed to get that state back on track. But
it’s a sign of goodwill. People remember
things like that, especially if the money is
used for the purposes for which it was
actually donated.
5. Shaping the conversation
The potency of the visit in redirecting the
national conversation cannot be
overemphasised. Through their visit, the
problem of insecurity in the country was
put back on the front-burner of national
conversation. And of course, if insecurity is
mentioned in Nigeria, whether in a PDP or
an APC state, it ends up putting the
government at the centre and the
president, who is the Chief Security Officer
of the country on the wrong foot.
The interesting thing is that despite the fact
that the APC communique carried an
upbeat tone on the security situation, it still
cannot make the president look good. A
win situation for the opposition.
They said in their statement that: “In
solidarity with the government and people
of Borno and Yobe states, we are pleased
to witness an upsurge of tranquility and
happy that the situation has calmed down
considerably in Maiduguri, contrary to the
image of rampant violence that has been
painted to the whole world. We have
discovered the people are going about
their businesses without hindrance. We
wish to commend the efforts of our brother-
governors in the two states and the
security agencies for the restoration of
peace and stability.”
6. Chance to talk some more about their
party
A visit to Maiduguri was done and yet, over 70 percent of the communique was about the forum’s “irrevocable commitment to the emergence of the new party, All Progressive Congress (APC),” and commendation of “the Central Merger
Committee of the APC on the progress so
far made in the establishment of the new
party, particularly the recent inauguration
of three major committees on constitution,
manifesto and legal/INEC compliance,”
and how they wished to “inform Nigerians
that we shall soon embark on a national
outreach and sensitization activities and
we call on Nigerians to support our effort to rescue the country from a visionless
leadership.”
