What will happen to Sahara Reporters now? Their oga is being politically flogged, where will brown envelopes come from?
Chei! Business don spoil!

Vigilante:
No be only report.  Just one state for Atiku and you guys are all crest fallen.

Crest fallen? That is damn funny!
What we are seeing is the tiny john thomas of a "consensus" noisemaker.

GEJ only needs 1742 to win.
There are 3484 delegates in total.

Atiku might as well start making his phone calls to Boko Haram, but I expect GEJ's fangs to begin showing from tomorrow.

tunnex190:
Sarah's votes are being reserved. . . It will soon turn to her turn. .  .  

There must be at least one delegate from her village or clan.
If she still has no vote after Kwara has been counted, then I urge all youth to march out and protest for the refund of her fee!

By the time the counting gets to Kano, GEJ would be only a few hundred delegates short of the 1900 needed for outright victory.
Somebody better give Atiku some Panadol now!!!

alj harem:
and more are still coming from oyo to kano to zamfa etc

Dude, GEJ is taking Oyo, Kano, Katsina and Zamfara. Atiku can have Sokoto.

I actually thought GEJ would do much better in Bauchi. Oh well!

[quote author=Xavier. link=topic=584783.msg7527629#msg7527629 date=1294960016]Imagine, a delegate from Bauchi wrote Turaki Adamawa instead of Atiku Abubarkar. Of course the vote was disallowed.[/quote]Something is seriously wrong with the Bauchi delegates sha! Their ballots have been found in almost all other state boxes, that must be why Bayelsa was counted before it. Na wa!

Missy85:
this is not over yet. Places like sokoto, kano, bornu, with a large number of delegates might be one sided in atiku,s favour

Jonathan shld win nonetheless.

Very few are voting along ethnic lines. it is only in places like NL that ethnicity is overhyped, because it is the weapon of the elite and most NLers are connected to the elite.
People are being real on the ground, most will never vote for a thief with their eyes open.

. . .Unlike Adamawa:
67 for GEJ, 0 for Atiku in Bayelsa. Thats the way its gotta be done!

Poor Atiku!
Somebody bera buy him black sunshades so nobody will notice when he starts crying!

Sky Blue:
I cannot wait for Bauchi state (which I assume is next), that would be the most interesting so far.

GEJ should hit 75% of the Bauchi vote.

Beaf:
Anambra and Enugu are predicted to be the most difficult for GEJ in the South.

Damn! At this rate "difficult" means Atiku gets more than 5 votes!!!
I can't stop laughing!

Anambra and Enugu are predicted to be the most difficult for GEJ in the South.

"Consensus Candidate!!!!!!!!"
Buahahahahahahahahahahahaharrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!

[size=14pt]Adamawa has been "zoned" to GEJ!!![/size]
Pesin go wound dis nite o!
I de laf ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Pesin go wound dis nite o!
I de laf ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

Atiku is losing his home state to GEJ!!! Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Ofido:
Even in Adamawa Atiku's home state, Goodluck is leading.
Cant believe this

Oh yes o! Atiku is gonna lose even his own home state! Damn!

[quote author=Dav.e link=topic=584999.msg7525759#msg7525759 date=1294946531]From all that has occurred today it is obvious Jonathan is much more refined and matured than Atiku.
He touch on senstive and important issues from healthcare to security to fuel to power/energy supply and also gave firm reassurance of progress and transformation in his administration.
This was more of what reasonable citizens would want to hear.
Sincerely, Atiku basically did nothing on stage but claim what he never did when in gov't and even speaking words that contradict his lawless attitude when he was the vp. Condemning actions which he was no. 1 at perpetrating. The most irritating part is that he was busy threatening chaos on that stage and literally throwing insults at the president; definitely not the kind of virtue we would want in our president.[/quote]The attractive thing about Jonathan is that he is very much an ordinary Nigerian like you and I, he has a way of connecting to to the average person. He might have his weaknesses like all men, but he is very genuine and focussed.

Another Chris Okotie. . . Only that this version is very desperate.

blacksta:
Wow did not know Nija jurisdiction extended outside of the country.

Lets wait and see where this one ends. hopefully not at the bottom of the soak away where list of other cases have ended for example halliburton, Siemens, Warri , Jos and Abuja bombings.

SR is hosted in the US. The Attorney General can sue in both the US and Nigeria, the FG can also get INTERPOL involved if it so desires.
We should see forgers and their masters in jail on either side of the pond.

Bye bye Sahara Reporters!!!
Their days of news and document forgery are over.

[size=14pt]Nigeria: N500 Million Donation - Indabawa Drags Media Houses to Adoke[/size]
Tony Ailemen
12 January 2011

Abuja — The Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Political Matters, Dr. Akilu Indabawa, has dragged some media houses before the Justice Ministry over claims that he received the sum of N500 Million from six Governors on behalf of the Jonathan/Sambo campaign organization.

Indabawa who had earlier denied the report, is asking the Justice Minister, Bello Adoke (SAN) to take necessary legal actions to bring the perpetrators to Justice.

"I therefore humbly invite you to take appropriate legal steps to bring the perpetrators to justice."

In a letter dated 5th, January 2011, a copy of which was made available to Daily Champion in Abuja, Indabawa said he was making a formal complain about the story against the two newspapers and one online media houses over the story.

"I write to complain about a story on President Goodluck's Campaign funding published in Peoples Daily (Vol. 4 No. 88 Wednesday, January 5, 2011, p. 1 - 3), Vanguard (Vol. 25: No. 61273, Wednesday, January 5, 2011, p. 1 and p. 5) and on the website of online news medium, Saharareporters."

The publication had alleged that, he wrote and "signed" letters "on behalf President Goodluck Jonathan, "to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your mandatory financial contribution of N500m each to the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation."

The letters were purportedly written to the Governors of Bauchi, Benue, Cross River, Ebonyi, Katsina, and Ogun States, each of whom serves as the Zonal Coordinator for the Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation.

Dr. Indabawa had described the report as "false and fabricated to smear the image of the President"

"The false reports quoted a forged letter purportedly written by me to the six governors acknowledging receipt of their donations on behalf of the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organisation."

Indabawa who warned that he was not going to take the report lying low, reiterated his earlier position saying he never wrote any letter acknowledging the receipt of any money.

"This is no doubt a wicked concoction to cast a shadow of doubt on Mr. President's widespread support nationwide and we are not going to take it lying low" he said.

"I have never written any such letter. I never, directly or indirectly, ever got, or, was ever involved in any Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign funding matters or transactions with any one - Governors and all others alike.

alj harem:
and who told you ciroma represent us

the atiku he chose can not even win 5 states in the north

were do you get this from brother

I do not believe Ciroma represents the North, he only makes claims which many sadly key into.
However, you used to be quite an Atiku supporter, what happened to you?

If found guilty, they must be sentenced to death, shot publicly and their bodies buried in graves people will be encouraged to spit on.
It doesn't matter whether they are Christian, Muslim, Berom, Hausa or Fulani.

@ Beaf

What about the ex-soldier (OBJ)who is currently your GEJ political backbone giving him all the instructions and tactics on how to further ruin Nigeria.

We all know OBJ antecedents, another 4years for GEJ is invariably an extension of OBJ third term agenda which I'm sure an average right thinking Nigerian will never pray for.

GEJ ------> OBJ political face mask

That was lifted straight out of the book of the Ciroma's make believe World of "North," "North," "North." It is a weak and useless argument.
To put it in better detail for you; all ex-Bayero college politicians, ex-Bayero soldiers and those with connections to the 60's coups and their subsequent govts must be cleared off the political deck.

Eziachi:
If you and your candidate do not undestand that SNC should be the first thing on the agenda of any serious person in Nigerian presidency that claim to e different from old order, you don't know why you want to be president. If Jonathan is too scared to mention it, just as you are alluding, he is not serious. We haven't heard him mentioned, land use decree, Irikife boundary adjustment or the the satanic revenue formular. This three issue alone alone has schrewed Nigeria. What issue has your candidate has even ever mentioned anyway.
Even thing that has kept his own people as slaves in Nigeria, he is too scared to mention them because his afraid not to upset those trying to crown him a king in Abuja.

@Nsiman, if you don't know what I am trying to say regarding the Roman's, horses and Nigeria, then go to the section you can understand.

What aspirant has mentioned a Sovereign National Conference? Or are they all scared? It is dishonest to hang a label on a single aspirant while conveniently shielding the rest.
Anybody that thinks a Sovereign National Conference is something that can be declared casually surely doesn't have the slightest clue about how democracies are run and is living in dreamland.
I would be interested to know what your idea of a Sovereign National Conference is (its no tea party). I have asked you to list the processes that must be followed before a Sovereign National Conference can be declared, but you have not been able to come up with a single item; that is really shocking! If you are so clueless, why engage in the tomfoolery you mistakenly call satire?

alj harem:
i think you are crazy

so i am jason now

well keep deceiving yourself in this madness you call support for mr.president

Yes, you are Jason.
And yes I support GEJ, while you support the THIEVING loser called Atiku. So get on your camel and ride off into the sunset.

Buhari and IBB are known to have met with ex-militants in secret. WHY?
It is either they suffered serious lapses of judgement or something more sinister.

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.

Eziachi:
Few minutes ago, you claimed that I had no solution and I gave you just 4 and now you are asking me, what will happen first?

Exactly! A Sovereign National Conference is not something either an aspirant or President can casually kick off. Certain things need to be in place, otherwise we will be aiming at smoke, that is why I asked the question.
I do expect that you would at least tell us what things need to happen to lead up to a National Conference, so that you can adequately defend your "satire" on other peoples understanding and the resulting positions they have taken.
I have a lot of belief in you and am convinced you will rise to the occasion, I could learn something new.
