@agaba,

When the court ruled in favour of Abacha, What do you expect Buhari to do? Flout court orders?

[size=14pt]It was also gathered that key supporters of Buhari in the zone including Senator Adamu Aliero, Dr. Tanimu Yakubu and Dr. Sauyyadi Abba Ruma[/size] are recruiting the crowd heavily to pass a message of popularity whenever Buhari campaigns anywhere in the North.

But Buhari’s association with the likes of Aliero and Ruma is also said to be courting him some displeasure among the discerning public, especially in view of the roles played by many of them during the prolonged illness of the late president Umaru Yar’Adua.

While I want to feel happy about this development, I doubt there is much they can do to improve d Yas Marina circuit as an exciting racing track. No doubt d track is top notch and scenery is wonderful, but as an actually f1 racing track, its boring with a capital B. Get rid of it, totally redesign d track or shift it from d end of calendar to d middle or beginning.

[size=14pt]Jos violence: I fear my neighbours[/size]
By Rob Walker

BBC News, Jos

Reverend Noah Maikano shows me what remains of the house he spent most of his adult life building in the central Nigerian Plateau state. It has been burnt for a third time.

Plateau, at the crossroads between Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north and the largely Christian south, was once celebrated as "The Home of Peace and Tourism".

Now it is home to neither. The state capital, Jos, is stuck in a cycle of sectarian violence stretching back more than a decade.

9ijaMan:
Sorry little one, I thank  God that I managed to tidy up my education before PDP came to mismanage & destroy the Nigerian education system. Your posts alongs with those of your ilks like Beaf reek of the half-baked bigoted breeds which GEJ and PDP have been churning out in the last 12 years. So no be my problem say you went to school at the wrong time.

Chrisbenogor:
LOL even your master Beaf could not say Amen, I knew you would fail to. Oya its past your bed time.

9ijaMan:
And has he been convicted? Untile he Lado get's convicted he remains an innocent citizen who's just beeing witch-hunted by GEJ.

Pataki:
You are stewpeed. What did I say? You are very very stewpeed!

Buhari contested against Obasanjo in 2003 - no bomb attacks.

Buhari contested against Yar'Adua in 2007 - no bomb attacks.

[size=16pt]2011 - We have a MEND spokes-advocate as President, we have had SEVEN BOMB ATTACKS with no prosecution or arresting those involved.

But what do we have, a President telling us to go and pray that the perpetrators will confess and repent!!

You are very stewpeed I say one more time!

What an ignorant gnat you are![/size]

Abali1:
My thinking is that whoever is behind these bombings must be a genius (Evil maybe).

Let's look at it this way; since the two widely acclaimed major contenders in this poll is GEJ and Buhari.
If this wave of violence continues the camp of both sides will continue to trade blames.
What has both men in common, on the surface nothing, but if you critically look at it you will find out that both men either now or not too long ago have had a COMMON ENEMY.

If the election does not take place before may 29th the present govt will have no choice but to continue in power. Then nigerians will truely be angry as to toe the line of Egypt, Sudan and Libya. The govt will have no choice but to bring in the millitary to curtail the revolution. Beleive me you, the millitary will ask the govt to step down untill such a time when the revolution would have been curtailed. (No one can blame anyone of coup plotting)

Alternatively if the above scenerio doesn't play out and the election holds, (am Buhari supporter) and GEJ wins (which am pretty sure will happen). Then, the North (illiterates and semi-illiterates) will truely be angry and the past bombings that we have witnessed will be like a child's play compared to the kind of carnage taht will be wrecked on people perceived as enemies of the North.

But if by some miracle Buhari wins, the MEND(it will be made to look as if it were the MEND) will be deployed to carry out a level of destruction unprecedentend in the history of their establishment. Again the millitary maybe called to quell the uprising (then ODI massacre will look like a child's play).

The only thing I don't understand is how GEJ and Buhari played into their hands. By this I mean, why both men were not cearful in making careless utterances during their campaign.

Buhari indirectly asked that people be killed if caught rigging the election. GEJ went to the south west and called the opposition rascals; he went further by accepting IBB as his mentor, nott forgetting that he openly absolved MEND of any complicty in the October 1st bombing.

Nigerian we should all be vigilant, these are troubling times.

9ijaMan:
Apparently your memory has failed you again. How come GEJ too had tea with the fake MEND warlords aka ex-militants? If GEJ can meet them, why not anyone else?

idupaul:
Why is it hard for U all to see that the VIOLENT CPC did this , So much for a Taliban funded party, CIVIL WAR LOOMS because of CPC

ziccoit:
@Beaf, please stop doing this to yourself. Your thought process is getting hold of your mind. You may be difficult to get cured if you don't desist in all these craps. I mean, you are poison you mind.

 Kaduna a PDP stronghold. Do you aware before the botched election out of aroun 5,000 vote cast PDP only got around 500. Why do you think SAMBO relocated to kaduna? PDP thought they would rule (not serve) Nigerians for 50 years a dream fast becoming a mirage. Do you think a party with 'do or die' mentality would surrender power just like that?

9ijaMan:
Another interesting twist to this new saga: This may really be a grand plan by team GEJ and the PDP gangsters to scare voters away from the pollen stations tomorrow. How else can one explain this bomb going off just a few hours to 2011 elections?

'Cos PDP knows they'll lose the elections if people come out to vote. The only way PDP can win the elections is to rig, which is almost impossible if people come out to cast their votes

9ijaMan:
Stup!'d dolt, you forgot to mention the grenades, guns and rocket lunchers found with police men in delta state before the postponed election! I suppose that does not support your bigoted theory of demonizing anything that comes from the north!

[size=21pt]Militants hold secret meetings with IBB, Buhari[/size]
Posted by Information Nigeria in Home » Nigerian News on September 6, 2010

THERE are indications that President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to strike a deal with leaders of key militant groups in the Niger Delta to strengthen his chances of winning the South-South zone if he decides to run in the 2011 presidential election.

Indications to this effect emerged in the light of efforts by leaders of the militants, who had given up on the government amnesty initiative to engage presidential aspirants from the North in exploratory talks on how to fit into their presidential programmes.

Two leaders of militant groups which surrendered arms in the wake of the Federal Government’s amnesty had arrived in Abuja last week to hold talks with northern presidential aspirants, including General Ibrahim Babangida and General Muhammadu Buhari.

Nigerian Tribune learnt through aides of the aspirants that the militants complained that they were not being consulted by President Jonathan.

The militant heads were said to have canvassed a view that their full participation in the ongoing political process would enhance their resolve to finally discard the toga of militancy, just as they reportedly expressed dismay that their efforts to dissolve into the campaign programme of President Jonathan were not being appreciated.

It is not certain which specific roles the militants desired to play in the presidential campaigns of the aspirants, whom they reportedly met. However, it was disclosed that tentative agreements were reached by the campaign team of General Buhari that they should make a bold appearance during his inaugural campaign summit scheduled to take place in Abuja any moment from now.

Checks within the IBB campaign organisation revealed that none of the militant leaders was able to meet the Minna general in person, but reportedly met his aides in Abuja and told them about their desire to feature in his campaign programmes.

When the militants met with the representatives of the ex-president recently, Nigerian Tribune gathered that they vowed to support him if he agreed to a one-term tenure and hand over power to a candidate from the South-South geopolitical zone in 2015.

Nigerian Tribune gathered that Babangida was told to rescind his decision of handing over to a candidate from the South-East, choose a vice-president from South-South, implement the white paper of the Ledun Mittee committee and create additional states in the South-South geopolitical zone.

Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune revealed that the militants were working with notable South-South governors, who were said to be working underground for different northern presidential aspirants following their irreconcilable differences with President Jonathan.

9ijaMan:
Beaf at his best again. Oozing and dripping lies from every corner of his mouth. It is on record to date that the only organization that has owned up to at least one of the series of bombings remains MEND. We are also aware that MEND also sent some messages less than 2 weeks ago to detonate bombs again. If your clueless president is not fit to rule, he should perhaps hand over to someone who's more capable. 7 bombings and still counting yet not a single person has been brought to book. The questions we should asking ourselves should be: How many bombing case  which involved mass murder were recorded during UMYA's era? How many such cases did the nation withness during OBJ's time? These were equally PDP presidents who at least managed maintain some level of security.

May the soul of those who departed this world rest in eternal bliss.

ziccoit:
If we were in a country where people knew their right, GEJ would be massively voted out for incompetency and lack of what it takes to guaranty security which is a basic element for survival.

proudly9ja:
@Beaf
We  are tired of the bombings whether it is by northerners or southerners!

The chief security officer of the country i.e. The President should fish out the killers and punish them whether its a norther or southerner. We are tired of speeches.

We have lost innocent lives, people who left their families to serve the Nation. Their deaths must not be in vain. If the security chiefs cannot do their jobs, they are incompetent and must resign!

We are tired!

proudly9ja:
We have had about 4 or 5 bomb blasts now and no clue as to who perpetrated the act. Some of you here blaming the north just being lazy. Is MEND from the north?

Anybody who kills innocent citizen is an enemy of state and it doesn't matter whether he is a northerner or not. This act should be condemned. The chief security officer of the state must without wasting time, find out who did this. We are tired of speeches. We want action.

omanzo02:
I don't disappoint like Buharist, my full support is for the old gangs of rulers to disappear from the presidency, including Buhari, atleast Gej will be the beginning of the gradual phasing out until more able hands and heads to run the country decides to join the recruitment train. Beside, I was in Nigeria end of January and what I saw on the ground is not far from what my friend indicated, but very very very far from the speculation on NL. U are free to call my story fake, I da.mn bet u to show up here to call my story fake when the result are eventually released, deal?

lionness:
Abi o. This beaf just makes me laugh. Imagine an educated guy behaving like hes talking to some bunch of f00lish villagers. Anyways sha, its like comedy still.

rafhell:
the truth is that all these bombings is being carried out by northerners sympathetic to the presidential course of general buhari and Nigerians should brace up for more bombing if buhari does not win the presidential election.

whether we like it or not the way buhari is going about his presidential campaign will only lead to anarchy and blood bath, especially, in the north.

how i wish this country was never amalgamated.

these uneducated northerners are like cows that only follow in one direction without thinking
