eleven:
GEJ team are certaining doing a wonderful job for the man on facebook.

His declaration strategy via facebook shows his alignment with time and confirms his youthfulness. That it is done on a day IBB is mounting the podium in Abuja for the same reason makes good political sense.

Education is very good indeed. GEJ - Smart guy. Nice campaign phrase - Promise LESS, Deliver MORE.
While IBB's motto is, "promise nothing, kill & steal everything!"

Uncle Joe, carry go! A man of action who has delivered consistently and calmly.

Ayatullah:
@Beaf, your dirty language shows the type of education you inherited from the teachers who taught you nonsense, a million shame on you. No wonder when I checked your profile your pix revealed an atheist and another man championing the dress code of colonial masters of old! Sane and people with pure education don't admire atheists!!!

The 'almajiris' who brought down the twin towers in the USA and shook to its foundation the pentagon will soon teach educated ones like you a lesson in Nigeria. The Bauchi Prison Operation is just a dress rehearsal for what will befall those of you who think you are wiser and more educated than others. Keep living in fool's paradise and boasting of a meaningless education.
Are you practicing how to be a fool or are you actually graduating toward idiocy?

Please include a reminder with every post so I know to check your profile in future before I respond huh huh .

Dude, it is foolish not to check something before you comment on it, don't you agree?

Imagine a state like Abia where kidnapping is rampant.
Abia has 17 LG's, so at 7 of Ribadu's "Rambo/Terminator-type Policemen" per LG, we would have 119 super heroes to quell violence, bank robberies and kidnapping in the whole state. shocked shocked shocked
. . .And I used to think miracle preaching was strictly a church affair!

While I am giving Ribadu the benefit of the doubt and awaiting his rebutal, coarse brained folk like yourself have accepted something so absolutely ridiculous and far out. Like I said earlier, people with a more intelligent approach than yourself have already dealt with the question in more sensible ways.

Onlytruth:
You know what Beaf, sometimes I wish there is a repeat of a Biafra like scenario again in Nigeria so that people will pick sides once again. Not that I expect any difference undecided, but I suspect that the 1967 issue wasn't properly consummated. There was too much ignorance and suspicion then. A lot that happened didn't make sense.
I suspect that a repeat would likely enjoy some fundamental differences.
Thats a horrible wish, but I get what you are driving at. Yes, if there was a repeat, everyone would plan better; Edo and Delta would be Biafra's close and friendly, independent allies or (very long stretch) Delta and Edo would actually be in Biafra; there would of course, also be an Oduduwa republic in the SW.

Oga Beaf , Na wa ooo !!! So your hero of yesterday , you actually stated you consider as a future President , can become persona non grata over one statement ? If we then accuse you of a campaign of calumny against anyone opposing Jonathan you get hot under the collar. I bet if Ribadu was not competing and he made this same statement , you would magically get what he means !!!

Ribadu was a Policeman . He knows the system. He is very intelligent also . If he says he needs 5000 men I think most of us would assume he needs 5000 good cops he can train to be "untouchables" who would help him "clean up" as Elliot Ness did when gangterism and police corruption (same as Nigeria) had crippled crime fighting spawning an enviroment where the criminals were more powerful than the lawmen . That is what Nigeria needs. Not a change of "business as usual" and underperforming IG's every year !!!

You are here talking a lot of rubbish as usual. More sensible people than you have already asked intelligent questions about what I said. Stop talking through your arse and learn to use your brain.
If you cared to check my words, you would find that I said I wanted to confirm the story first; if cared to check my profile first before getting into a crazed frenzy to type, you would have seen that Ribadu's photo still well and truly lives there. Scuttle back to your cave.

Gbawe:
Do you really think Ribadu , himself a competent crimefighter , would suggest that he would replace all the officers in the police force with 5000 Rambo/Terminator-type Policemen ?
Even a regular fool knows that 5000 "Rambo/Terminator-type Policemen" in 700 plus LGA's is a sick joke.

Politics › Re: Babangida Picks Odili As Running Mate by Beaf(op): 7:37am On Sep 14, 2010
rhymz:
Well, let us not conclude yet, so far, he has not officially come out to say so. However, I think IBB's desperation is making him dense and impairing his judgement. If he thinks he can use Odili to kill two birds at thesame time then he is in for a shocker. Odili is not even popular in the SS let alone the SE. Infact, a delta state igbo would be more acceptable to the igbos in the SE than one from rivers state. Besides, when igbos say they want an igbo president, what they mean is an igbo from any of the southeastern states.
IBB is so falling out of favour in virtually every sphere of his campaign, I see a seriously confused man everytime he makes a move, the guy is not even as intelligent and politically savvy as we give him credit for. I bet Obasanjo is beating him to even his own game of wits. . . Scheeew. . . Evil genius my boring a$s, nothing intelligent abt most his moves-from botched paid interviews to manipulative associations that turned sour-everything is just desperate and manipulative. Imagine the nonentity implying he would give the igbos the presidency come 2015, like he would just walk on by and hand it over to anyone he likes(na ya papa invent d position). Even his comments shows a man that lacks depth. In a recent interview on AIT,when he was comfronted with the death of Dele Giwa, rubbish SAP and the missing 12billion oil windfall, the fool kept hiding his lack of any intelligent response by comparing his administration to a mediocre OBJ's and ended up saying Nigerians should be greatful to him. I felt like breaking the TV. Like Okey Ndibe succinctly put it: A case of mediocrity pointing accusing fingers at another mediocrity and yelling you are more mediocre.
I don't even believe Odili can visit the SS. The dude has been declared persona non grata.

Eziachi:
@ Mr Beaf,
One thing you have constantly kept on was quoting your father. Can you tell us how many times your father said to you, he and your kinsmen voted for Nnamdi Azikiwe all those years if not the northerner as their brother?
Or did this new found brotherhood old Eastern suddenly start?

And you kept saying that neither Biafra nor Nigeria asked you where you want go, but did your people stated to them what you wanted to be or become? Why should anyone invite you? Did your peoples invite anyone and they refused? Did you declare where you wanted to be just like the Ibibio or Efik by opening aligning with Biafra and the Ijaws with Nigeria?

tThe probelm Your people had was the fact that they were busy sitting on the fence, waiting to see where the river will be flowing first in the midst of life and death situaton and that is why probably both Biafra/Nigeria attacked you because, you had no stance, they don't know whether you are an enemy or a friend.
That is the wise thing (and the only choice) for any minority that has not been given any guarantees by the two gladiating behemoths, don't you think? To both sides, we were mere puns and so we behaved in a way that we weren't labelled and wiped out. The case for the Efiks, Ibibios and some Ijaws is very different, they were always in the Eastern region; the Isoko, Itsekiri, Urhobo and Western Ijaw were all in the Midwest region.

I don't know what you mean by voting with the North, Festus Okotie Eboh was in Ziks party, NCNC. The founding fathers of the Midwest region were Dennis Osadebay (NCNC), Jereton Marierie (NCNC), and James Otobo (AGN). Of course, we started out in alliance with the East with whom we share long borders and were against the West, because Awo's policies were percieved as divisive and the West did not initially support an autonomous Midwest.

The schism with NCNC in the region was created after Osadebay was foisted over Omo Osagie (Edo) and Jereton Marierie (Urhobo); this move particularly upset the Edo, because as early as 1952, Oba Akenzua had already personally taken on the fight for the creation of the MidWest region. You need to look into that to satisfy your question, but we don't hold tightly to the past; politics like life, is a fluid game, sometimes we agree, at other times we don't. Should we be enemies pointing fingers generations later? I think not.

[size=14pt]Babangida picks Odili as running mate [/size]
By Soji Bamidele
September 14, 2010 02:24AM

Former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida, is in advanced talks with Peter Odili, former governor of Rivers State, as he closes in on a running mate for the 2011 presidential elections.

A source within Mr. Babangida's camp said that the choice of Mr. Odili was strongly influenced by Raymond Dokpesi, chairman of DAAR Communications, and director general of Mr. Babangida's presidential campaign. The two men have a history of mutually beneficial dealings. Mr. Dokpesi was the director general of Mr. Odili's campaign when he ran for president in 2007. At the time, Mr. Odili was alleged to have invested N400 million of funds taken from the Rivers State treasury, into Mr. Dokpesi's company.

The EFCC, under Farida Waziri, quizzed Mr. Dokpesi over the money, but no charges were ever filed. According to the source, "Odilli will be groomed as the person that will succeed General Babangida, come 2015."


A controversial choice

Mr. Babangida, who is at the centre of several allegations, will be picking an equally controversial character if he settles on Mr. Odili as a running mate. Mr. Odili was elected governor of Rivers State in 1999 and was re-elected in 2003. His tenure was marred by human rights violations, insecurity, and widespread accusations of fraud.

During his governorship, Rivers State was, in theory, one of the wealthiest states in the country owing to its enormous oil revenue, but Mr. Odili instituted relatively few improvements. Instead, the former governor is on record for acquiring a South Africa-based hospital, and two Brazilian jets.


In November 2006, Peter Odili announced that he would run for president in the 2007 election under the ruling PDP. However, a day before the PDP's presidential primaries, Mr. Odili stepped down from the contest, paving the way for fellow governor, Umaru Yar'Adua, to emerge as the party's flag bearer.

Reports say Mr. Odili was forced out of that contest when the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) led by Nuhu Ribadu, released a report implicating him in fraud, mismanagement of state funds, money laundering, and abuse of office.

In February that year, Mr. Odili filed a suit challenging the powers of the EFCC to probe his administration. The court granted him an indefinite injunction stopping any investigations into his finances, describing it as a breach of his civil rights.


The declaration

It was expected that Mr. Odili would be unveiled at a rally for the official declaration of Mr. Babangida's intention on Wednesday in Abuja.

However, a text sent out by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. Rufa'i Ahmed Alkali. inviting all party executives to an emergency meeting on that same day , is raising eyebrows.

The coincidence in the timing is leading to speculation that this may be an attempt to steal the thunder from Mr. Babangida's declaration. As of the time of going to press , we were unable to contact Mr. Babangida to find out if he intends to change his plans. . Text messages to Mr. Alkali seeking clarity on the matter, remained unanswered

Politics › Much Ado About Nothing by Beaf(op): 3:30am On Sep 14, 2010
[size=14pt]Much ado about nothing [/size]
By Cheta Nwanze

I can say with some form of confidence that the glass ceiling which for a long time existed in Western society for people of African descent was well and truly shattered when the Americans made the right decision and voted in Barack Obama. Within a generation I expect that we will see a black man as the leader of another major Western power.

What is the implication of this for African countries such as Nigeria? For a very long time we have lived in the belief that our ‘children' would always find their way home. That illusion no longer exists as my cousins who were born in the West for example, can truly aspire to the highest offices in the respective countries whose passports they hold.

Being an ethnic Igbo man who likes to say he is from Edo state in Nigeria, I have to ask myself honestly, can I aspire to the highest position in my own country?

It is rather instructive that all media reports about Obama insist that Chicago is his hometown. He was not born there, his father did not come from there, he did not set foot in Chicago until sometime after he finished his own university education, yet, it is his home town. Until two years ago, he represented Chicago in the US Senate. Can that happen in Nigeria?

Sadly the answer is no.

I cannot even aspire to be a local councilor in Oredo Local Government Area, the part of Benin, Edo State where I was born. Some idiot would open his mouth and claim that I am not a son of the soil. The sheer ignorance of it! In 1979 Ambrose Alli was elected governor of the then Bendel State. By the time he was removed from office by the 1983 coup, he had had enough grief from the indigent population of the state capital Benin.

Why was that?

Although he was an indigene of Bendel State, he was not an ethnic Bini man. He was ethnic Ishan. Forward the hands of the clock two decades, and we had Lucky Igbinedion, a genuine ‘son of the soil' from Benin City getting into the position. He ruined that state, and simply because "he is our brother", people only grumbled in the silence of their homes.

Ethnic Binis are of course not the only people in Nigeria guilty of such behaviour. If you are not ethnic Igbo for example, you cannot seriously expect to conduct trade in Onitsha Main Market. If you are not ethnic Yoruba you cannot expect to rise to a position of academic prominence at the Obafemi Awolowo University. Ahmadu Bello openly stated that his government would rather a Briton hold position within it, than a Southerner, and of course, being ethnic Ijaw gives you a license to steal all the money in Bayelsa State, escape justice in the United Kingdom, then return to a hero's welcome from the very people you robbed without anyone asking you to account for the stolen funds. Whenever are we going to make progress?

Sadly, not very soon. Because Goodluck Jonathan appointed an Igbo man as Chief of Army Staff a few days ago, we have some twits demanding that more positions be zoned specifically to Igbo people as if being Igbo automatically makes people better administrators? You only have to take a look at the condition of the Igbo speaking parts of Nigeria to know that this is not true. Look at the last Inspector General of Police. He is so Igbo, yet he was probably the worst IG we have ever had, definitely the worst in living memory. As an aside, can someone shove him into jail for contempt of court?

It has not always been like that in Nigerian politics however, and we can indeed turn the hands of the clock back. Back in the day, Nnamdi Azikiwe was able to run for, and win office in Western Nigeria. Murtala Mohammed, an ethnic Etsako man (from Auchi in today's Edo state) was Nigerian Head of State, accepted by the North as one of their own. These incidents were not accidents, and we can return to that state of affairs.

We need to however, take the bold step of making the necessary change to truly unite the country. I don't see any reason whatsoever why anyone should ask me what state I am from after I have informed the person (and proved to the person) that I am Nigerian. I should be able to go to any point in my country and settle down and feel like I have a stake in this place. I should be able to go to any point in my country and run for elective office. For that to happen, people need to stop asking me about my father and where he is from.

Nigeria, please delete the state of origin caveat from the Constitution.
