OlujobaSamuel:
there are 18senators from SW, if the reaching out was as strong as you claim, how come 18senators were able to convince about 40others from other tribes to effect the removal?
Abegi, its too early, go find something worthy of emulation doing.

The Igbos had real power for 16 years with pdp. They were sp, they controled obj's cabinet, they were pdp chairmen. Igbos never fought against yoruba interest in pdp. Igbos were fair to all with the ministries they handled. But yorubas on a vendatta mission has succeeded in alienating the igbos and have thus created a powerful enemy for themselves in NASS. Now APC cant pass any bill

Alcatraz005:
It is a systematic thing and the Yorubas and Hausa have been quite successful at undermining igbos for the past 3 decades.

We are winning without violence but the downside is that we have to bare the brunt on our infrastructure due to the undermining of the east.

I just dey laugh u. U really must be a sad man. Igbos are kings in ur Lagos, kings in Abuja, in kano, in kaduna, in jos and in many other parts of Nigeria. Die if it pains u. Look at the beautiful city of Enugu. How can u successfully undermine a blessed coal city? Igbos are also kings in this city and would nevet cede one plot of it to a yoruba man

Stalwert:

It takes an ignoramus of epic proportions not to figure that NASS under PDP 16 years were blatantly corrupt and always receive inducements before passing bills.

Now that APC NASS cant pass any bill nko? Pls bring back our corruption.

Check the graph and see where pdp corruption grew Nigeria economy to and where APC integrity is pushing it down to. Soon egypt will overtake us if we dont take a stance now against this yeye integrity

OlujobaSamuel:
huh
like seriously?
there was 5sp from the same tribe in 7yrs, yet you are claiming reaching out and harmony, something is wrong somewhere.

Cos yorubas senators and president kept bringing motions for their impeachment.

Yorubas think they in a competition with Igbos.

This one go sha pain yorubas

Atiku is sellable.

Also they should consider Nuhu Ribadu if Atiku has issues b4 the election. The logic is this... Ribadu is a younger version of Buhari. So anything APC claims Buhari is, Ribadu is as well.

For Running mate, they should go for Prof. Soludo. The logic is this.... Soludo is a younger version of Osinbajo. So anything APC claims Osinbajo is, Soludo is as well.

Make the fight start

mrvitalis:
You mean pdp in apc clothing ?

This is silly. Is APC the majority and leaders of NASS or not?

APC failed Nigeria. Typical of anything headed by yorubas, it must be tribalistic. Igbos were the back bone of pdp for 16 years it was in power. In that period, they reached across all parties to pass bills in NASS and carried everybody along. Now the yoruba lead APC think they are at war with Igbos and PDP and cant get anything done in NASS

Okorocha's case show that Nigerian politicians by virtue of being occultists, are incapable of doing good even if they want to.

This is a man who many thought would become a true leader. This same expectation was placed on oshomole. Both squandered people's goodwill

A muslim-muslim ticket? APC is truly afraid Since Atiku defected, these guys have been mis-firing from all angles Its good tho.
Atikulate project is getting more real everyday

The silence of Northern Senators on ongoing restructuring debates in the country should not be taken for granted, chairman of the Northern Senators forum Senator Abdullahi Adamu has said.

Speaking at the opening of a two-day retreat for the northern senators in Katsina said, the time has come for the senators to make their views known as their silence should not be seen as a sign of weakness on the issues.

According to him, the senators must speak up with one voice so that the people they represent will feel been carried along noting that aside making laws senators are leaders and the followership look up to them guidance.

Adamu said, the key areas of the retreat are the 2018 budget, insecurity and restructuring issues saying that ' we shal look at them critically from the northern perspective'

The meeting had in attendance 59 senators led by senate President Bukola Saraki, Three state governors of Katsina, Kebbi, Zamfara. The sultan of Sokoto Saad Abubakar, chairman of northern elders forum Ibrahim Coomassie

Who are the people making grammar errors in a major Newspaper?

Goke7:
5 out of 6 sw states voted for GEJ in 2011, why do you guys lie a lot to justify your bad decisions?

Jonathan got 2,786,417 from sw out of a total valid vote cast of 4,613,712 which represents only 60% votes cast. The rest of the south gave gej over 90% of their votes. When u consider pdp rigging, u may see that its possible pdp lost in sw in 2011.
Now when u consider that it was the 1st time a southerner who isnt yoruba was in a major ticket for presidency, u start wondering why the sw abandon him and gave ribadu 1.3 million votes instead

seyigiggle:
the sw may not have done well for the south. you see this can only happen if the se/ss come to agreement with the sw first. two cannot walk except they agree.
nc/ne don't contend with the nw when a decision is taken imagine how they are suffering fulani menace now. if it were se/ss, what would have happened? your guess is as good as mine (withdraw support).
furthermore, do you know that the reason Atiku has not been president is the fact that he is from ne, a minority in the north? i bet the reason why he may not be able to win next election is hinged on that.
sorry to digress. if pdp must win next election, their candidate must be from nw otherwise.........

Thank u for agreeing that sw have not done well for the south.

Now in 2003, we all in the south were majorly pdp and agreed to vote 25% oil derivation in 2005 constitutional conference during the last southern govs forum meeting, sw reps to the conference went against it. This ended the sgf meetings till 2017.

Atiku not being president yet was the same reason buhari from northwest wasnt president until 2015 wen u all from sw campaigned and rebranded him.

People are sick. How do we know from this photo that they are not inspecting the pvssy of a dead prostitute?

Is Sarrki the nairaland rabble rouser dead? I dont see him in threads anymore

NGENEUKWENU right now

See real funny pics here

seyigiggle:
permit me to answer you a bit.
#fact. ss/se are minority to sw. this fact must be acknowledged otherwise everyone maintains his lane.
the majority in the north are nw, they dictate the tune and others humbly follows.
so if the se especially refuse to bow to the considerable dictates of the sw, no deal!

In population u are the majority... in resources however south south are the majority.

Now what have u guys done that is in the interest of se/ss? The NW supported Gowon from NC to lead in 1967. The NW supported Tafawa balewa from NE to lead in 1960. The north ensured that kano had the highest LGs in Nigeria and that Abuja in NC became capital.

In the south, we supported obj to president in 1999 and 2003. Supported Eteh (even when north was against her)and Bankole (even when dino melaye was fighting him) as speakers.
U guys however voted against jonathan in 2011 (in favour of Ribadu) and 2015. U guys voted against the bill to gv ND 25% derivation. U guys worked for Tambulwal to become speaker ahead of ur fellow yoruba.

What have u done for the south and why should the south follow u politically? In 2003 we were all in the same party pdp but u guys worked to kill every bill that will benefit ur fellow southerners in NASS

correctguy101:
Dey there make pant dey wear you...

Type Boo.harry and see for yourself...
Or try comment on Islamic section and receive the shock wey kill Abacha, make Atiku kneel down for Babangida and even make Obasanjo dance skelewu

I tire for Seun kind of atheism... SMH

lol the guy na muslim atheist

Buhari Mr. Integrity is just another northern politician. What makes his case worse is that he doesnt know how to be a team player.

Obj knows how to be a team player. That is why his govt has remained the best in economic development since 1999.

Atiku should be tried...Buhari's govt ended 7 months ago. Nothing new would be initiated by him.

Nationalman:
you guys all know that atiku is just a distraction that has some free money to spend.which is what is needed by PDP presently.He cant win

cos u will rig? U can rig only in ur polling unit my guy

Thiefnu.bu wont be happy with this news

Lol nairaland auto corrects t.hiefnubu as tinubu to show he is their lord and master. But wont auto correct 'Atiku'

Now we know some of the backers of this forum

Lol. The pdp only did the Authomatic ticket thingy with GEJ. PDP is the most stable party in Nigeria's history. Tinubu should always speak the truth

A party that has lost many of its founding fathers and highest beneficiaries but is still standing today.

Buhari left ANPP in 2008 and it collapsed. Tinubu left AD and it collapsed. If Buhari and/or Tinubu leave APC make we see if it wont collapse

The SW must not always oppose other southerners. The 3 regions of the north plays similar politics, why does only se and ss play same politics in south? Even when se/ss supported obj in 2003 ahead of buhari-okadigbo ticket?
SW pls rally round pdp lets change the change. PDP will cede senate president to sw and speaker to ss

tdayof:
North Korea will never hit America directly. North Korea missiles will have to fly pass American strong holds and her allies before hitting the United States.

Imagine a ballistic missile going to the US with hundreds of US ships/subs and ADS in her allied countries ready to intercept aggressively?

Ramstein which heads NATO anti ballistic operation command will have all available missiles striking it.


The best North Korea can do is to attack Japan, South Korea , Guam and US military assets around in which the Japanese and south Koreans will really want to avoid.

If it was Russia then I would have agreed. North Korea technological advancements is impressive but too vulnerable to world powers..

The only u.s ally which a N.korean bomb has to pass thru is japan.....not some 'allied countries'. The world is not flat really...its circular. People know this, but dont really understand it.

If for some reason japan couldnt intercept it, then it would be only the pacific btw the bomb and u.s

Ps. It could hit Hawaii

Bayelsa Governor Seriake Dickson has dismissed claims that there is a vast conspiracy against the Yoruba at the ongoing national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“There’s no conspiracy against the southwest,” Mr. Dickson told PREMIUM TIMES Saturday afternoon.

The 2017 national convention of the PDP kicked of this morning in Abuja. The governor spoke with PREMIUM TIMES on the sidelines of the event at Eagle Square.

Olabode George, a PDP chieftain who was in the race for the party’s chairmanship, had alleged conspiracy against the Yoruba when he withdrew his interest last night.

Mr. George, 72, said a gentleman’s agreement that was entered into by the party’s leaders for the next chairman to emerge from the South-west had been jettisoned, describing those responsible as men whose “sun would soon set”.

Seven out of the nine candidates for the chairmanship are Yoruba. But five of them have reportedly followed Mr. George to step down, leaving only Tunde Adeniran from the region.

Mr. Adeniran is expected to face an arduous challenge in the person of Uche Secondus, a former senator from Rivers State who once led the party in an acting capacity.

Although he clarified that he had not read Mr. George’s statement, Mr. Dickson said “the South-South and the South-west are not fighting.”

The governor said all the South-South governors had once rallied behind a Yoruba candidate in the past.

“Don’t forget that at the last convention, all the governors wanted an aspirant from the southwest,” Mr. Dickson said of the 2016 botched convention. “There was even an endorsement of Jimi Agbaje.”

Segun Adekoya, a PDP member of the House of Representatives, agreed with the governor, saying it’s “too bad” that Yoruba aspirants failed to reach a consensus early.

“We advised them to settle on one person for several weeks but they didn’t listen, this is politics at play, not conspiracy,” Mr. Adekoya said.

Moreover, Mr. Dickson said, the South-west still stand a better chance of clinching victory since their candidate will now go head-to-head with the South-South’s.

“If, based on what we’re hearing, six aspirants from the southwest have stepped down, then the remaining aspirant has a chance to be our chairman,” Mr. Dickson said.

He said the political calculation has changed since then.

“So if in the calculation of people, certain things have changed, then it’s a question of political calculation,” he said. “It’s not conspiracy.”

The governor declined to specifically tell PREMIUM TIMES his preferred candidate for the chairmanship, saying it is more prudent to wait for the outcome.

“The voting is yet to commence, so there’s no need to prejudge the outcome of the process,” he said.

The governor said he holds Mr. George “in highest esteem”, urging the Board of Trustees member to look beyond the leadership tussle and set his eye on the bigger price.

“I think that all lovers of our party, aspirants and lovers of democracy should rather place more emphasis on the work ahead, especially the next general election coming,” Mr. Dickson said. “We know that the election of the leadership of our party is important. But what is more important is the general election, which would kick-start from next year.”

He added that if there’s a need to set up a reconciliation committee like the last one he held in the wake of the disputed Port-Harcourt convention, then the party would explore such measures.

Yorubas are very funny people
And here i was calling for them to be included in PDP affairs for the interest of equity.

Pray tell why do u guys like insulting urselves?
Seemingly very smart people until u open ur mouth to talk or type.

What will happen in 2019 if Atiku picks igbo vp? Will u guys not be shamed again just the way u were shamed with pdp chairmanship?

Why not wait to see what Atiku will do b4 u gloat that u are political masters?

Let me ask. What position does igbo occupy in apc? Is Apc a regional party? So why will pdp be a regional party cos u guys occupy no post?

U guys should vote Apc in 2019 if u want. Se and ss will vote pdp. Let the north decide who will be winner btw Apc and pdp. If they choose apc.... no problem. But i trust pdp will be able to recapture some governorship, senetorial and reps seats from apc. And pdp will still remain in the hands of the se and ss politicians. Ready to try again in 2023.

Shukuakukobambi:
We know about Soyinka's large heart because he has proven it

the proof of the pudding is in the eating. let nnamdi resurface first before we know he didn't really mean those boastful talks of bringing buhari's head from abuja

lol. Look at how u quickly turned the conversation to nnamdi kanu... immediately the guy proved to u that buhari is a bitter soul

Did tinubu and oyegun work to install buhari?

rajiraymond:
Are these people you mentioned above were responsible for OBJ, YARADUA and GEJ for being incompetently?

If so, PDP is dead and there's no need to take the control again since it has nothing to offer Nigerian as a whole aside from looting.

go and talk with ur mates. I dont entertain infantile remarks

Jaideyone:
yes PDP won without the southwest in 1999 when OBJ got 70% of northern votes. can Atiku even get 40% of northern votes against PMB? the answer is no

u did not consider margin? Obj won falaye with 7.5 million votes. If Atiku wins buhari with 100k votes, na win.

Yes Atiku can get 40% northern votes because the north has potential 8 more years to gain from Atiku

maclatunji:
The PDP is a dying party, the only thing happening now is that Yoruba political jobbers in the PDP will feel the need to leave in droves while a few will remain. Either way, the party is set to fall into greater decline. How people can celebrate "controlling" it beats my imagination.

pdp wont die cos u wish it to. Or cos yorubas are not in it. As long as the south remains divided, the north will alternate btw apc and pdp to ride to power again and again
