mimifonwon: my guy dont let tribal sentiments cloud you reasoning. I understand that the igbos more than anyother tribe in nigeria have suffered in their hands of nigeria, but you must admit that bad leaders that igbos picked are those who continue to hurt the development of the igbo land. Like i said, stop defending peter obi, because i know his family personally, especially his inlaws and el rufai said the truth, and its sad that Peter obi tried to turn it tribal to get ignorant igbos like you involved in rantings like this. Sometimes a stranger can see the truth we refuse to see because of our loyalty. What you should be doing is writing to your governors to improve igboland, so that they can have pride in defending it against such critics. Now for those saying Peter brought this refinery and that, have you people looked at the documents of ownership of the refinery, well if you must know you as a citizen in a democracy have the right to ask for the documents- because more than half of it belongs to peter obi and he used anambra's money to achieve it. So dear Peter is playing you guys for a fool, so you better shine your eyes before its too late.MTCHEEEQW.. BY THE WAY LAGOS IS MORE DEVELOPED< CROSS RIVERS< EVEN OGUN STATE, ANd so many more. WHETHER ANAMBRA IS YOUR HOME STATE OR U JUST FEEL LIKE DEFENDING IT< tell the truth that its a failed state.

like i said its a failed state but still better than over 30 other failed states in nigeria , we can therefore conclude all the states in nigeria are nothing to write home about , meanwhil am laughing at ogun and cross river being more developed . cross river is good for tourism but lack industries.

mimifonwon: you have been brainwashed, tell the truth and you shall be set free, you can call him what ever you please, but it doesnt change the fact that anambra is a failed state.

yes we can agree it is a failed state i agree after all its a shit hole compared to many cities and states around the world but list the states better than it in nigeria for me and i mean all round before i reply u again

manny4life: Look, I strongly believe that Mr. Obi is not doing a very good job in his countermeasure. If Mr. Obi hire experts and consultant just to reply him facts and figures, that will carry much weight. For instance, if Obi made arguments, if Anambra has a hostile business environment, how come the first independent owned refinery opened up in Anambra state? Meanwhile Sabmiller of SA opened a $150million plant there, how does he elrufai reconcile that? In addition, it has a hostile business environment, meanwhile the Onitsha port though small is getting attention, while at that there are small business that have moved in (from manufacturing to reselling). If Anambra has Dept of Business Registration, they can show how many business have opened since a period of time (trend), as well as how many keep up with tax payments.

Elrufai mentioned that IGR did not increase in this year's budget, should Obi have highlighted on that point? That IGR has increased and the state is on a path for self independence. Just a 3/5/7 point increase is enough to throw him off. Why did Obi not emphasize about the 20%+ increase in capital infrastructures? Don't you think would have mad a good counter attack?

Me I think Mr. Obi needs to do more, I don't see this as image damage but more of image enlightenment. Obi needs to quote hard facts and figures, the counterattack is what matters before delivering a serious damage on his person and personality.

we are saying the same thing, el rufai is lying and peter obi is being sentimental about it because he knows it is political to give ACN an edge and yes peter obi needs to do more but no sane person will stand and let that aboki from a war thorn region assasinate the image and hard work of anambrains residents. if u see nothing wrong with calling a state the worst place to do buisnees then u dont know the power of the media.

mimifonwon: I beg, please go park someone where else with this line of thought, Pot holes all over roads in the east, bad schools, bad hospitals, i wouldnt blame westerners for not wanting to invest in igboland except crossriver and maybe imo, the others are a fail in my opinion and people like you that turn a blind eye to the truth cause this. El rufai did nothing wrong but tell the truth, and sometimes it takes an outsider to tell and help us see what we refuse to see. Peter Obi is doing a horrible job making anambra better. And the chiefs and eze's of the land/villages do nothing as long as they get their cut of the stolen money and nothing gets developed. Please my brother tell the whole truth, whether it was said with malice, el rufai told the truth anambra is a failed state. The only governors in the east i respect is imoke and rochas, because they are trying, and so are their first ladies. They understand that they are there to service the people and not the people to them.

whatever more people are investing in anambra while u stay abroad and fantasize how anambra is a failed state . whatever suits u , anambra will keep getting better especially above other states in the country.

Mr. Globe:
very stup¡d excuse and Anambra was not the only state he mentioned only that the guilty will fall first. Peter Obi lives in enugu. He is a neighbour to a friend and thats where he lives apart from starting a real estate in Abuja recently where he goes to worship GEJ his fellow Olumba Olumba Member. Just quit it already. Peter Obi is a certified fraud!

this one na personal attack, i dont care about his private life but all south east elites own houses in enugu even donald duke house in enugu is my neighbourhood.

mimifonwon: This is the problem with nigeria, instead of focusing on making the east better, this idiot obi stay stealing and hiding assets that belongs to his igbo brothers and sisters in his pocket, and the only time he remembers that igbos are being affronted is when they are not. El-rufai spoke the truth. I swear these stupid igbo governors need to fix their states and help their people before blaming another man. I have been to anambra and know the inlaws of this stupif governor and they are living like kings while their people cannot even afford biscuit, let alone aku. This is just sad. # charity begins at home my Igbo people, dont turn a blind eye to the truth, for it shall set you free. Having your own country will not change anything when you have fools and thieves running the resources into their pockets.

declaring anambra the worst state to do buisness is image assasination and pure lies , el rufai is a troll.

Mr. Globe:
Bashr is putting enugu up against anambra when peter obi a serving governor lives in Enugu and shuttles daily to his looted homes in Abuja! What are fool these people are. Awka is not even liveable, onitsha is pathetic, Nnewi is an eyesore so tell me how El Rufai is wrong if you are not being silly. If anything, peter obi should be impeached!

are u not foolish , yet these cities u mentioned are highly industrialised and over populated, peter obi lives in anambra and yes he has a house in enugu even before he became governor just like all other elites from the south east ,do u have a problem with that?. metnion states performing better than anambra all round before trolling like the crazy elrufai and throwing cheap punches in the air.

manny4life: You're right about your questions, politics is played dirty NOT clean, Obi's time will soon be up, it's time for Obi to lay a solid foundation of transformation. what I'm saying in essence is that I personally do not see this as a form of discrediting him, however, now is a good time for Mr. Obi to put him in his place. If I were him, I will counter EVERY single thing he has said. Like I said, while I see some of elrufai's point, I do not agree with most. Though we might attack the messenger, let's look at the message

dont get me wrong anambra is not performing like i would expect but elrufai is painting a picture of it being the worse state in nigeria and the worst to do buisness ,this is clearly image assasination which will affect everyone that resides in anambra , imagine if a foreinger planing to invest in south east read this he will think that the war thorn north is better to do buisness than anambra or anywhere in the southeast , we need to watch such trolls like elrufai they are the people giving the south east a bad image for their selfish political reasons thats why i guess peter obi told him he is insulting the igbo race.

shymmex: All your investments are there, yet you don't want to live there.

Peter Obi is the governor of Anambra, yet he lives in Enugu.

Anambra must be the biggest tourist state in Nigeria, since you lot like to visit, but can't live there.

peter obi lives in anambra, i dont want to live there because it is over populated which discredits his follish claim of people emigrating from anambra and buisness being unfriendly . i prefer a much more calm enugu city than an over populated onitsha just as i cannot live in lagos or ph.

manny4life: In my own response, I think what Mr Rufai is trying to do is not diiscredit Obi or otherwise, but a construct criticism for a state such as Anambra will still have to depend on FG for allocation. I think that's something we should look at very seriously. I did go through the number and I must say I wasn't quite happy at some serious budget numbers.

and since when did elrufai care about anambra, u forget peter obi tenure is about to expire so ACN are strategizing to get anambra and which beter way to start than to discredit whatever the past party have done. if elrufai really cared about peter obis budget he would have done the analysis during obis first tenure or at least before his second tenure.

Mr. Globe:
get over your azz bro.. You dont know nothing. You need to take a tour of the states I mentioned and compare them to whats not going on in anambra. Anambra has bigger potentials than all the states combined but the dunce and educated illiterate in power has made them all bigger than anambra. You paid agents will always go to any extent. And watch how you will reply me now dunce!

i have told u i dont have time for u , i go to anambra 3 times a week ,almost all my investments are ,keep crying fowl from wherever you are while anambra residents keep making money . am done with u.

shymmex: Who cares about literacy rate? That's subjective.

All the states I listed are far ahead of Anambra economically, and it terms of development. Heck, even Imo is ahead of Anambra when it comes to literacy..

Why bring my home state into the discourse?

Anambra won't see my home state, even with a convex lense - and telescope.

only imo is ahead of anambra when it comes to literacy , economically well maybe cause of the oil in the niger delta regiion and lagos but anambra just recently became an oil producing state and built there own refinery something no state have ever done, remove oil and anambra can only be compared with lagos.

these some of the indices of literacy and health care and its obvious anambra is ahead of more then 30 states in the country in these factors and all round, will try and find more Data , elrufai is nothing but a troll if ACN wants anambra they should campaign like everyother party and not throwing cheap shots.

Mr. Globe:
Your Answer..
Enugu
Imo
Ebonyi (Yes the man recieves little income and we dont expect him to do magic)
Anambra is currently tied with Abia. The two governors too are clownish. And am only interested in the east bro

now i know u are mad and am done replying you

shymmex: Why do you keep making baseless assertions that belongs in the thrash can?

Anambra isn't even ahead of Imo, and Enugu in the SE...

Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers states are miles ahead of Anambra - and that's in the old Eastern region alone.

you must be smoking something only rivers can claim to be ahead economically though it can still be debated . as for literacy ,employment poverty rate , anambra is ahead of these states u mentioned and any other state u can dish out from any other part of the country including ur own state of origin.

Mr. Globe:
Loser.. If you know me you will kill to be in my shoes. I have more access to this Peter Obi's govt than you probably if I want to but am mad he is fuking up the state with incompetence and mediocrity. Am not happy I cant fly in straight to my state. What Andy Uba would have easily completed. Can you list the achievements of obi?
Again Only a fool will ever dream peter obi can become a president of Nigeria.

troll can u mention governors and states that are performing better than anambra, anambra is not performing to my expectations but it is still ahead of over 30 states in nigeria even with its high population and low allocation plus we dont borrow money to run the state.

Mr. Globe:
NRI PRIEST, WARRIOR01, ONE.EAST all bunch of retar.ds. How much is peter obi paying you trolls. Anambra has become shyte under that imbeci le and you are here talking trash. Can you list the achievements of Peter Obi or post pictures? Three of you are as mentally retar.ded as your master peter obi. Dont worry, he will surely become a guest to the EFCC in future and get more than the ibori treatment. A crook. Am ashamed you people lists yourselves as igbo even thought I dont believe it. Even Theordore Orji will pay people to come here and say he the best thing that has happened to abia. Let thunder strike your fingers in a row. Bunch of bastards!

first mention states that are performing better than anambra both in south east and nigeria before acting like a clown.

RoadStar: Truth be told Anambra is going to experience 8 years of decay under this peter obi.
His comments and the way he has approached el-rufais critic just exposes this man's low level of intellect.

The problem with Anambrans is that they threat their state with disdain.
There seems to be a discrepancy between the been-tos and the locals which has resulted in a mentallity that to be successfull, u
have to migrate outside the state, and has lead to the state being run by a low witted i.d.i.o.t like Obi.

Whenever you open the newspapers you see comments and contributions from notable Anambra figures both on a National on international level and the list is exhaustive
Soludo , Ezekwesili, Akunyilu, moghalu, mustapha-obi, anyaoku, ekwueme and even Ben Akubueze in lagos
but they misteriously keep mum and are inconsequential when it comes to Anambra issues.

To me i dint see anything wrong is Soludo running for governor when his services as CBN governor was no longer needed same applies to dora.
Look at edo and the progress being made under Oshiomole.

The problem is that the socio-political dynamics in the state is just backwards and primitive.
The state is being run by traders and touts while the entire cream are in lagos, abuja and everywhere else enhancing those societies.

From the comments of most of you,its clear you haven't been near the state of late, go down there and you will notice how the place has so deteriorated it is SHAMEFUL!

did you say we have to migrate to make it ? you people are so stupid , yet anambra is the most populated state in the south east and apart from lagos ,kano and rivers no other state in nigeria hav a clearly higher population than anambra ,i guess all those people are ghost , meanwhile how can a state with the largest trade centre in the world and nnewi the most industrilized town in nigeria after lagos ,ph and aba have its people migrate before they make it does that make sense to ur stupid brain. elrufai plan to discredit APGA will not work .

Nightshift: The fact is that Anambra State has not exploited its potential to fullest. A State that has aspired to become "The Bavaria " of Igboland industrially,found itself struggling against the overwhelming "OMATA" mentality which its politicians exhibited throughout the State's first decade of creation.
Gov.Obi has done well by opening up Anambra's rural areas with new road networks,but more infrastructural investment is needed in Awka, Onitsha and Nnewi.Onitsha for example,lacks everything that an industrial City needs to attract investment.Nnewi is in the same league as well.No businessman or investor wants kidnapped while clutching his briefcase inspecting land to house his factory.
Anambra high school boys are said to be more interested in joining spare-parts trade than scoring better marks for college admission,unlike their peers from Imo or Enugu State. I think what the Mallam meant is that Gov.Obi's budget was being applied mostly in the wrong sectors,instead of where it is needed to improve Anambra's socioeconomic status. Does potentials alone develop a country or state?

your a bag of trahs , yet it is the state with the most educated people after imo and have the highest number of phd hoders in the country coupled with lowest unemployment and lowest poverty rate. some of you are just stupid, elrufai is just trying to discredit apga so as to give acn an edge in anambra. before you people open your stinking mouth first tell us which state is performing better than anambra all round

Gbawe: Very true my brother. In fact, what you highlight is ruining the politics section of Nairaland. Nothing can be discussed these days without someone putting an ethnic slant on issues. Obi has disappointed as an administrator and he will do well to take criticism in his stride instead of trying to divert attention away from such by playing the ethnic card. I personally wrote off the chap when he joined Akunyili to implore Anambra folks not to vote for the "Yoruba Party" even as it was Ngige, a full-blooded Igbo man passionate about his State, people would really be voting for.

He has a nerve talking about insults against ethnic groups. Then again, we all know that empty barrels make the most noise.

elrufai is a dummy and yes he insulted the igbo race by stupidly constructing such mischevous write up , imagine if a non non nigerian planing to come and invest in anambra reads his devilsh write up the person will automatically assume anambra is the worst place to be in nigeria and africa and u tell me its not an insult to igbo race, he should occupy himself with finding solutions for the killing and bombings going on in the north.

Abagworo: I think the Southeast needs redemption. Hope Rochas succeeds in saving Imo State. The above means that all the SE States are the most business unfriendly in Nigeria. Chukwu okike zopitakwa anyi na ubiam.

i have always suspected your a troll , apart from lagos ,ph and maybe abuja can you point out any other state that have more buiness than anambra and abia. maybe unfriendly for federal government to do buisness and ignoramus like u that swallow every trash dished out to it.

moshoodn: BULLS AND BEARS. . .

ok so wetin we go come do

elrufai is crazy iwonder who is feeding him with such stupid statements, he should go and see un, napep and cbn ranking of anambra, anambra retains its position in top five best states all round, both literact ,employment,quality of life etc. its obvious he is a troll he is just trying to discredit APGA

jason123: Re-read my comment before insulting me. Then apologise.

[b]I no talk am?!
The SE has never and will never play the opposition in Nigeria! If the coalition is about winning, the SE will join the coalition[/b]i guess u see nothing wrong with this statement.

The two met in Kaduna at the residence of Buhari last Thursday. Both men also drove together to Kano to the waiting embrace of a mammoth crowd.

It was gathered, at the weekend, that discussions between both men centred on how to proceed preparatory to the 2015 general elections.

Of specific concern, Sunday Vanguard was told by a source privy to the meeting, was the issue of presenting a “united front for the presidential engagement”.

Although talks are still on, the source said that one of the first steps to be taken by each of the parties “would be the movement towards the centre”.

To this end, both men are said to be disposed to a compromise that “would see each relegating his ambition for the common good of the proposed alliance”.

If all goes well, both men, according to our source, would seek and anoint candidates for the presidential election.

In fact, the reason both leaders have decided to commence talks in earnest is “just so they would avoid the type of last minute rancour that led to the collapse of talks last year”, a source said.

It would be recalled that last-minute efforts by the ACN and CPC to forge an alliance for last year’s presidential election collapsed.

The inability of each of the party’s leaders to subsume their ambitions led to the collapse of the talks.

everybody go and Hold ur governors responsible , these politicians are all of the same specie

jason123: I no talk am?!
The SE has never and will never play the opposition in Nigeria! If the coalition is about winning, the SE will join the coalition. I see it as a smart move! That way they never lose out totally!

shut up ode, did u read the whole post ACN and tinubu are waiting for bribe from pdp to betray cpc again

Sunday Tribune findings showed that those working against the merger are from various sources, including the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and elements within the CPC who still believe the party should not dilute its character by merging with the ACN.


Many within presidential caucus in Abuja are said to be in support of granting concessions to Senator Tinubu, a development South-West leaders of the PDP see as a continuity of ACN’s domination of South-West politics.

Senator Tinubu and his team are, however, said to be hesitant even though a sizeable segment of the ACN are reported to be open to such concessions that will see the party retaining its hold on the South-West.

https://www.nairaland.com/960116/acn-cpc-merger-fails-cpc#11065941 read the full news before opening ur guter mouth cant u see ur tribalistic yoruba brother edited it mugu

from what i understand all these are same politicians different parties infact they switch party like they switcch women so why should we believe unseating pdp is the solution , pls fellow nigerian(and biafrans )no matter which party your governor is from lets take the fight to state level whatever your state gets ensure they make good use of it, hell its time we start thinking of private electicity etc

The ongoing merger talks between the Congress for Progressive Change [CPC] and the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) may soon run into troubled waters as forces opposed to the plan are reported to have finalised plans to abort the exercise. Sunday Tribune findings showed that those working against the merger are from various sources, including the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and elements within the CPC who still believe the party should not dilute its character by merging with the ACN.

While the opposition leaders within the two parties are pushing to make the merger come to fruition, three other political parties have turned down invitation to join the coalition designed to wrest power from the ruling party in 2015.

Findings revealed that while the top echelon of the PDP does not take the merger plan as a threat, some influential members of the party within the recently-constituted advisory committee under former Vice President Alex Ekwueme are urging action before it is too late.

Those pushing for action were said to have cited reports that the opposition leaders are working in alliance with a shadowy group within the PDP which is reportedly waiting in the wing to ditch the ruling party if President Goodluck Jonathan secures the party‘s presidential ticket for 2015.

Many within the ruling party were also reportedly alarmed by unconfirmed reports that the opposition merger effort is receiving logistic and technical support of some foreign governments through democracy promotion organisations operating in the country.

A core group within the ruling party is reported to have raised a containment agenda meant to checkmate the emerging alliance which is reported to be targeting a North/South-West alliance against the South-East and South-South in the 2015 general elections.

Part of the agenda which leaked to an opposition member in the North includes what the source called immediate revival of the many court cases against most chieftains of the ruling party such as Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and three other former ministers within the fold of the CPC.

It was gathered that many opposition chieftains, especially within the CPC, were once part of the ruling party and have cases filed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pending before various courts.

Another plan ongoing is said to be the return into the PDP of old members of the party who had defected to the CPC and other opposition parties through various offers and concessions.

This option is reported to be under implementation as some members of CPC are already returning to the PDP as was the case in Taraba, Gombe and Kebbi states, while more are being wooed to return to the party since the emergence of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as the party chairman.

While the PDP has denied any involvement, Sunday Tribune was also told that some PDP strategists have launched a divisive campaign against the CPC resulting in the recent surge in conflict within the party.

A faction recently announced the suspension of the Tony Momoh-led executive of the CPC, an action that is linked to the many leadership crises that have been rocking the party since the 2011 elections.

This offensive, however, suffered a setback recently as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denounced the suspension of the Momoh-led executive, describing the action of the faction as contrary to the constitution of the CPC.

While those working against the merger appear to see no compromise with the CPC, reports indicate that some elements within the PDP still believe the Presidency can strike another deal with the ACN leadership to wean Senator Bola Tinubu and his people away from the CPC. ;Dchai tinubu don sufer

The calculation, it was learnt, was that the CPC should be denied any alliance with the South-West as that may pose serious electoral challenge to the PDP in 2015.

Sunday Tribune findings showed that the South-West, and particularly the Tinubu-led ACN leadership, has become a beautiful bride with both the Presidency and the Buhari team lobbying to secure their allegiance, a situation that is raising eyebrow within the South-West PDP.

Many within presidential caucus in Abuja are said to be in support of granting concessions to Senator Tinubu, a development South-West leaders of the PDP see as a continuity of ACN’s domination of South-West politics.

Senator Tinubu and his team are, however, said to be hesitant even though a sizeable segment of the ACN are reported to be open to such concessions that will see the party retaining its hold on the South-West.

APGA, ANPP reject merger invitations
Meanwhile, both the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) are said to have rejected invitation to join the grand coalition being planned by the ACN and CPC.

A source within the CPC confessed that the ANPP has not responded to the offer, citing the old frosty relationship with the CPC national leader, General Muhammadu Buhari.

The ANPP, which is still strong in many parts of the North, had in the past joined the PDP-led unity government even as it still controls two core Northern states of Borno and Yobe.

ANPP leaders were reported to have described the alliance as a coalition of strange bedfellows that may not be strong enough to defeat the PDP. It was, however, not clear whether the ANPP will join the PDP ahead of the 2015 polls.

APGA is said to have also shunned invitation from merger partners, a decision said to be unconnected with the close relationship between APGA’s leadership and the PDP-led government at the federal level.

Reports indicated that Governor Peter Obi and his Imo State counterpart, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, are very close to the PDP-led Federal Government even as Governor Okorocha was a strong member of the PDP before his defection to APGA.

The appointment of the widow of the late Emeka Oduemgwu Ojukwu, Bianca, as an ambassador was said to have strengthened APGA‘s link with the Presidency even as reports noted that Governor Obi is a personal friend of President Goodluck Jonathan.

A CPC chieftain from Enugu State, Osita Osichukwu, however, noted that the merger was targeting all opposition political parties, adding that APGA and other parties were also being consulted.

Sanusi, el-Rufai may be dragged into presidential race
Even as the merger plan is unfolding, Sunday Tribune has gathered that surreptitious moves are ongoing within the Northern caucus of the CPC over who should finally be presented as the new party‘s presidential standardbearer.

Insiders within the party revealed that the candidature of General Muhammdau Buhari being canvassed in some quarters was just a smokescreen before the unfolding of new entrants into the presidential race.

According to the source, former minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir el-Rufai, was considered an alternate candidate for Presidency in place of General Buhari until recent developments which allegedly saw the names of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Sanusi Lamido, being dragged into contention.

Those who supported the Buhari candidacy are said to be uncomfortable with the aspiration of Mallam el-Rufai who they see as an extention of the PDP, having served in many capacities under former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Reports said it was those hardliners behind Buhari who are said to be reaching out to the CBN governor to join and run for Presidency under the new party being worked upon.

Findings showed that these conservative wings of the CPC see in Lamido many traits of General Buhari such as what was described as his opposition to the status quo even to the detriment of his current position as the head of CBN.

Supporters of el-Rufai are also said to be aware of the new move in favour of Sanusi.

The two have of recent intensified their defence of the North in the face of many challenges with Sanusi’s royal connections coming handy.

While el-Rufai has been very loud in defense of the North, Sanusi, on the other hand, laid the foundation for the Northern revolt against the current revenue sharing formula.

Close associates of the CBN governor are, however, quick to deny that he is nurturing presidential ambition, noting instead that his life ambition is to become the Emir of Kano.

Events of recent weeks, however, tend to increase speculations of a presidential agenda as the recent turbanning of the CBN governor by the Emir of Kano was described by those who attended as beyond chieftaincy inauguration.

The CBN governor is not a card-carrying member of the ruling PDP, reports also indicated.

from what i understand all these are same politicians different parties infact they switch party like they switcch women so why should we believe unseating pdp is the solution , pls fellow nigerian(and biafrans )no matter which party your governor is from lets take the fight to state level whatever your state gets ensure they make good use of it, hell its time we start thinking of private electicity etc

horse gift , group of people will pocket it and the indians will get contracts worth ten times of that

interesting , well with time we will know where APGA and ANPP really stands, besides is sanusi not also a pdp member and was given an appointment by pdp government just like el rufai? why are they disqualifying elrufai based on that. anyway this shows they are hell bent on finding a candidate from the north and no where else.

LocalChamp: Lagos plane crash: Chinese men who cheated us on queue made fun of me —Daughter
June 10, 2012 by Agency Reporter 8 Comments
Ihezuo, narrated that she initially went to the Arik airlines stand, but their plane was fully booked, so she headed for Dana Air where she joined a queue for the ticket.

“We were on the queue and it was my turn to buy the ticket. I was rummaging my bag to bring out money to pay for the ticket when two Chinese men who were behind me gave money to the cashier and paid for the remaining seats. I was very angry and their action generated a verbal exchange between my husband and the cashier.

“The Chinese men were not even sorry for their action, instead they and their girlfriends made jest of us, waving the tickets in the air and making fun of us; we were so annoyed and we decided to postpone the trip.”

She added that she had yet to reach the house when she got reports that the Dana plane had crashed.

The mother of four said that family members that were waiting for them at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos cried when they heard about the incident. They thought that both mother and daughter had perished in the crash.

She stated that her church members in Abuja also thought she had died until they were notified that she did not board the aircraft.

Ihezuo said, “Since the incident, I have just been thanking God because He was the one that kept us. I have been rolling on my knees in thanksgiving since last Sunday and my knees are sore,” she said as she lifted up her skirt to show her bruised knees.

She stated that since she started flying about a year ago, the Dana flight was the first she would see that was fully booked, “I am familiar with most of the crew members because I have been patronising the airline for some time; I feel so bad for the crew and passengers.”

Ihezuo added she had purchased a luxury bus ticket for her mother who was going to stay with her eldest daughter at Festac, Lagos following her refusal to board a flight.

lol ..sorry my bad but just couldnt help laughing. i knew someone will have this kind of story cus its very common in nigerian airports.
