Who does business with the Oil companies. . . those rag tag touts or the FGN?

Forget about touts, somebody foolishly mentioned war. Touts don't command or lead wars. Even more important, the oil companies don't give a rats arse about the FG or Nigeria. Is the oil in Abuja?

@LRNZH
Bros no vex, I will join you after today.

Abagworo:
I did mention(not boast) that with the kind of leadership style we are having that militia groups would gradually form and might bring us to our knees.Tell me Mr Beaf if the militias have not almost brought us to our knees.Abagworo can no longer hang out freely in Abuja.Where is my knees?

Dude, you are fooling yourself against someone who has a photographic memory. You are really fooling yourself. Maybe you have forgotten that you were even able to pinpoint the ethnic groups and their locations. Maybe it has left your mind how you claimed the SSS was aware, but powerless? Do you recall hinting that these people hung around your office? You are fooling yourself, tell another story.

@Beaf

Bauchi is not a Christian state in the North, areas such as Toro (close to Jos) might have Christian majority which I doubt, the majority of the people in Bauchi are muslims.

You are right, I wrote Bauchi by mistake, they have a large Christian population, but are majority Muslim.

jabbok:
The greatest delusion of all times by the Gej propaganda web minister! Now I can't help but conclude that you are a minor. Do u think d smesme of hit and run by some bunch of faceless militants[most of them mercenaries] will save the day if a full scale war starts?

You are funny. If we can power the whole country, why can we not hire battalions of mecenaries and acquire sophisticated weapons in a matter of days? Most of you are too dull. I don't know if you never had milk as kids.

Do you really understand how much money the ND generates daily? It is only a fool that thinks the barren North can ever hold us to ransome, so sing another weird song.

Abagworo:
@bolded.Do not come here and write rubbish just because you are on cyberspace.I can bet your community does not have a quater of oil as mine.So if your feeding is oil,I don't need failures like you who believe only oil is wealth.Go home and drink oil.I made my wealth through education and hardwork and your oil did not contribute penny to it.Always stand by the truth and stop acting like a b***ch.

Shut up. Continue pretending to be what you aren't, you think anybody is decieved?
Aren't you the same id!ot that was boasting months ago that new and deadly militias were forming? Bro, I'm sure you'll be checked out. It will be interesting to find the extent of your knowledge of militias.

So an NLer like you makes a comment and you are so desperate that you hang it on GEJ? What is wrong with the way the average Nigerian thinks? Damn!

Look, he needs to get past the PDP primaries first

Then we can begin to talk of a landslide victory

Secondly, even if he wins, I doubt he'd last a year

The North is mad and they would do anything to have their way.

I am not ruling out a palace coup after the election!

Do they eat acid in the North? Or do you actually know what fuels the country? Please, I am not interested in ignorant discussions. If the so called "North" tries any nonsense, they will be sunk before they can blink, we power the whole bloody country. People like you really don't understand what the ND can do, all you bigots see are "minorities," but wait until crunch time.

Abagworo:
Who said Buhari is a failed leader?Buhari nearly ended corruption in his short stay as a military head of state.PTF we all witnessed his wise use of meagre funds to make lasting impacts and what else?

This bombing is part of Nigerian religious system which people have been made by Whites and Arabs to believe wholeheartedly in scripts written and imposed on us by them.The sooner we view religion like the White creators as liberal the better for us.

You can dream on. No failed leader with a connection to sharia or Boko Haram will ever rule this country again. Nobody with extremist views will ever sit over Nigerians again. Let religious fanatics keep bombing, you people will know who feeds you.

Metalgoong:
This shows that IBB is strongly committed to the consensus agreement. . . . . GEJ will meet his political waterloo at the PDP presidential primary. I really pity the him.

Oga, this is approaching delusion now!
IBB is dumping Atiku and PDP.

fstrangest:
Surely, you are joking!

Landslide ko, creekslide ni.

Are we talking about the primaries or the general election.

I believe you are in the US, thats why the clownish understanding of what is on the ground.
I said GEJ is headed for a landslide in the general elections.

Vigilante:
You said that in October, again on Christmas eve, last week and New Year eve.  Look within.  The answer lies within your conglomerate of inept security personnel.  Start the crushing from within.  Remember the PDP is a nest of killers.  Jonah is clueless.  Admit it.

Dude, mark it. I said we will crush you. If you want to spill innocent blood, we will feed you your own blood.

Vigilante:
Guys, its too early to start pointing accusing fingers.  If it was that easy to fish out culprits, it would have been equally easier to prevent the attacks. Calm is what is needed.

Only a fool thinks it is too early to lay blame after your people have been making threats. We will crush you.

[quote author=onye_okwu link=topic=577473.msg7443323#msg7443323 date=1293869924]beaf  or whatever you call yourself, its obvious to that federalism is what Nigeria needs now as nation
but when ojukwu agitated for  this (aburi accord) and pleaded with all Nigerian you guys termed it as igbo agenda to dominate and  take over your land which resulted to senseless massacre  of millions of igbos  by Nigerians even our  closest neighbor joined other Nigerians to perpetrate the atrocity against the igbos
let me tell you Nigerian is not going to disintegrate  neither true federalism until every side that sided with Hausa Fulani undergo what igbos underwent  for 3 yrs
go and listen to ojukwu biafra declaration speech ojukwu is simply a genius and a man that sees tomorrow  
the blood of igbos wasted in Nigeria will never be in vain we will avenge when the times comes [/quote]The words of a rambling fool. Why don't you go to Abuja so you can bath in the victims blood or use it for your rituals?

You call yourself a person from a majority ethnic group who number in millions, but here you are blaming me, someone from an ethnic group not up to a million. If that doesn't sound ridiculous to you, nothing will. Its like a heavyweight wrestler crying to his mother that a baby slapped him. Fool.

Evil bastar'd. May the souls of the departed rest in pece.

LRNZH:
We have a functional constitution. It may be faulty in some places or you may not accept sections of it.
But it not being enforced at all.

A constitution is open to ratification by the lawmakers. You have corrupt inept people who are not even conversant with the content of the constitution they are upholding.
Until we kick out corrupt govts and politicians through credible elections, we are wasting our time.

Let me remind all of that you're supposed to have a copy of (at least) the 1999 constitution in each of your households before you come to claim in a public forum that Nigeria has no laws.

Maybe you can tell us why the Nigerian constitution is 310 pages long, while the American one is just 22?
310 pages of directionless crap forced down our throats by illiterate soldiers!

Which is better, the American consititution that is just 22 pages long and packed with principles and ideology, or the 310 page Nigerian one that is full of useless controlling crap? What do you think gave us our ramshackle govt style?

Paste the Nigerian constitution into MS Word using Times New Roman font at 12pt, then do the same for the US constitution:
http://www.nigeria-law.org/ConstitutionOfTheFederalRepublicOfNigeria.htm
http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html

A country based on a crap constitution will be only amount to a chaotic mound of crap.

The Ivorian army that is causing becomerich to soil his pants will fall and capitulate in a few days. It is so weak that it is laughable, if not for the French that stopped the rebels, the stunning victories that saw more than half the country fall to them would have swept to the Coast. The French planted their army between both sides and stopped the war, otherwise there would be no Gbagbo today.

ECOMOG will simply join forces with the rebel North, land massive troops in Bouake, as well as attack in a pincer movement from the sea. Easy pickings, couple of days, job done.

Ivory Coast doesn't even have an airforce.

LRNZH:
Nigeria has laws. We have a functional constition.
The problem is nobody enforces the law or constitution.
Because of this very few people go in to see d content of what is indeed d law in Nigeria.

I hope you are clear on that.

You have toilet roll that was forced down your throat by soldiers. Nigeria's consitution might well have been written by an almajiri. It has so many pages packed with crap, rather than being a short crisp document that encapsulates the country's principles and ideology as obtains in the civilised and progressive World.

What is Nigeria's ideology or philosophy, do you know?
It even sounds bloody funny to imagine Nigeria with an ideology.

Eziachi:
They are siphoning money at the rate they are doing it because an average Nigerian ruler, behind the scene will tell you he doesn't know whether there will be Nigeria tomorrow, so get as much as you can today, whatever happened tomorrow is fine. Hence once they get the money, instantly the money is sent abroad. Did you see the asset Gov Fayemi declared? He has more assets in Ghana than he had inside Nigeria and he is not alone. If you suspect that a bank may go under tomorrow, will you invest your money in it?
I say no more.

You are so right.

Forget about the fairy tale discussions we have on NL, most people have no clue because they are abroad. GEJ is a very popular President, because ordinary people identify with him and that gives him further impetus to push for free and fair elections, because he knows there is no competion in the market places, motor packs and on the streets.

Looks like massive "concensus" problems are kicking off. IBB who is known to silently hold grudges for long, has cast Atiku's "concensus" boat loose and feels insulted.
He is expected to follow Saraki out of PDP within weeks.

[size=14pt]2011: IBB writes Nwodo again[/size]
Yusuf Alli 01/01/2011 02:46:00

Despite pressure on him not to quit, ex-President Ibrahim Babangida yesterday wrote a letter to the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, indicating his formal withdrawal from the presidential primary election of the party.

The withdrawal from the race by the ex-President dealt a blow to the Plan B by some members of the Northern Political Leaders Forum who have been mounting pressure on Babangida and two others to go for the PDP’s screening of the presidential aspirants in case the North’s consensus candidate, ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, is disqualified in the last minutes.

But there were strong indications that the Presidential Screening Committee of the PDP might be announced on Monday after a meeting with the campaign directorates of President Goodluck Jonathan, ex-Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Mrs. Sarah Jibril and Adamu Dutsinma.

In Babangida’s letter, which was dated December 31, 2010 and exclusively obtained by The Nation, he said he is withdrawing from the race in line with the consensus arrangement put in place by the Northern Political Leaders Forum(NPLF).

The letter reads: "This letter submits for the kind consideration and approval of the National Working Committee of our great party-the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria (PDP), a request to withdraw from all the processes leading to and including PDP primary elections scheduled for January 13, 2011.

"You will recall that in September 2010, I had completed and submitted the Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms in accordance with the provisions of the electoral guidelines set out by the party.

"As a result of the consensus arrangement to which I voluntarily and willingly subscribe, I write to inform you of my decision to withdraw forthwith from all the processes leading to the selection and emergence of our party’s presidential flag bearer.

"Whilst extending my highest regards to your good selves and the party, I wish to convey my gratitude to the party for the opportunity given me to express my interest in the first place."

It was learnt that Babangida might have shunned pressure from some members of the NPLF to go for the screening of the presidential aspirants of the PDP as part of Plan B in case Atiku is disqualified.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said: "Babangida has repeatedly maintained that he is a man of his word and will stick to the consensus arrangement.

I pray that the rest of the cabal hurries up and leaves like Saraki. Its the first sign of victory of the good side, IBB is expected to join him anytime soon.

Saraki dumps PDP
Our Reporter 01/01/2011 02:49:00 

Prominent Nigerian politician and leader of the Northern Union (NU), Dr. Olusola Saraki, has dumped the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State.

he elder statesman, however, did not announce the party that he and his supporters would defect to, saying that would soon be made public.

Dependable sources, however, said the politician would publicly declare the choice of his party to his supporters tomorrow (Sunday).

The politician, popularly known as Olooye, made his decision to dump the PDP known shortly after receiving the National Chairman of the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, in his GRA home in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

[b]He said: "The door of the PDP has been locked against me. I cannot enter. And by their law, when that door is locked, there is no way to enter it unless you want to break it. But I don’t want to break it, as I am a law-abiding person. The law of PDP is so dry, and once it is applied, it is very difficult to cross.

"When I met President Goodluck Jonathan, I told him I was leaving the party. The PDP says congresses can only be run by delegates and delegates have been determined before the ward congresses in the state.

"I have left the PDP and anybody who believes in me will follow me to another party. But my absence from home gave them a lot of chance to do all this, considering how the party was taken over by us and considering how we have been managing it.

"They have locked the door, so that another candidate cannot get any delegates to support him. So, what is the point in putting your head into it? So, the best thing is to leave, and that is why I left. Some people just sit somewhere to prevent others from entering the door."[/b]

Dr. Saraki had earlier told the ANPP chairman that the masses of the state were earnestly waiting for him to declare for his next choice party.

Sounding emotional, he said: "My son, Bukola, spent a lot of time in Abuja helping the late President Umaru Yar’Adua to stabilise his government, leaving the PDP to be run by others at home. Those people have done a lot of damage to his government.

"Please, join me to pray to God to bring my son back home for me."

Big B1:
@Beaf
Stop wasting your time. What is going on in Nigeria today is bigger than Jonathan, or south or north. Nigeria is in a bad shape and as great citizens of Nigeria, we should all be looking to embrace anything that will dig us out of this hell hole, and absolutely not praising a confirmed failure.

Clearly Jonathan isn't the man: it will only make our country a better place if we all face the fact and allow true leaders to take us back to the top, where we want to be.

Crying behind Jonathan only makes one looks f00lish.
FYI: America hates bombing more than anything, with time Jonathan will completely lose the support of USA.

We shall see. If you go to market, be ready for the goods on display.

LRNZH:
Are northerners also responsible for the bombings in Yenagoa or the massive assassinations/kidnappings in the South-East?

Do you have a better idea of those that have been threatening violence? Or a better idea of those who have threatened to make the country ungovernable?
You heard the Presidents words, no man born of woman will achieve that.

Big B1:
@Beaf:
Nobody is preaching violence, noone has the time.
Nigeria happens to be in a very fragile state, and with a weak leader violence is inevitable.
Let's face the fact, Jonathan has never managed anything through out his career, every position he finds himself is given to him by luck.

Unfortunately, What we are experiencing in Nigeria today requires a qualified and well experienced leadership.
It is obvious that Jonathan isn't this leader, he knows this fact more than anyone else.

For the love of God, Mr. president should just be kind enough and step aside.
It will only be great for our country if we all come together as one and ask this great Nigerian to step down before it's too late.

Just tell your people that they have bought violence and it will be delivered.
