Wike saying thank you to Ogoni people before the election...!!!

On the first pic Dbanj's finger must be piercing GEJ's face...!!!

If what we hear in the news about APC having a deadlock in choosing Buhari's running mate is anything to go by, then we must ensure Buhari is not elected in 2015 with the following reasons;

1. If Gen. Buhari does not have the sole right to choose his own running mate, and can only wait for a few 'Cabal' to impose one on him then we should be rest assured that the same 'cabal' will automatically run the affairs of this country if Buhari is elected. They will sure impose any and everything on him.................!!!
2. Gen Buhari does not have a working plan for this country otherwise before this time he or APC should have had someone in mind who shares thesame vision to help him actualize his plan as a running mate rather than this fire brigade approach.
3. Gen. Buhari will constantly seek to please this 'cabal' as payback for his election victory and as such will be mortgaging the future of this great country which we and some have fought for with their very blood ...!!!
4. Gen. Buhari will have too many political financiers, banks loans and 'settlements' of Tinubu, Atiku and Co to pay back and as such will 'steal'

Kenai:
You're pure evil, you know that?

@Kenai, you obviously have been watching too much evil movies...!!! You seem to be seeing evil even when you look in the mirror...!!!

Now let the fight begin....!!!

Amaechi, come back without the VP ticket and you are finished politically...!!!
Tinubu, this is your last and only opportunity don't be out smarted...!!!
SE now or never, go Okorocha go...!!!

Atiku Abubaka is gradually going down in Nigeria's history as the only politician who has contested Presidential primaries under all Political party's platform and got none...!!!

While i was still contemplating the news over my radio, i heard my wife's lovely voice say "Honey pls wake up, its time for our early morning devotion" then i realized it was only a dream....!!! #pray4GEJ

Muhammadu Buhari (born December 17, 1942) is a Nigerian politician and a retired Major General in the Nigerian Army who was the military ruler of Nigeria from December 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985.

Just in case he wins against GEJ come 2015, he will be marking his 73rd Birthday as President of the FRN and after 1 term of 4 years, he will be marking 77th birthday. If he decides to do a second term, he will be 81 after the 2 terms of 8 years...!!!

Breaking News...!!! Atiku Abubakar is asking for a refund of his monies from the delegates.

GEJ Vs GMB, History to repeat itself after 2011 now in 2015 without the other contenders in the persons of Nuhu Ribadu (Governorship Aspirant Adamawa State) and Ibrahim Shekarau (Current Minister of Education)


Meanwhile this was what Prof Wole Soyinka said about GMB in 2011...!!! "Buhari owes a debt to this nation, not the other way round. If Buhari wishes to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of the citizenry whom he has so cruelly wronged, he should first scuttle his ambitions, then place whatever following he has garnered in the meantime at the disposal of a consensus candidate among the opposition. To insist on another taste of power, after such a history of gross abuse of power is an insult to any nation that values freedom and human dignity" (Wole Soyinka)

The aftermath of 2011 General election, GMB's boys went wild torching properties worth billions. Now its just APC primaries hope they've learnt how to accept defeat honorably?

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has said he is the most experienced candidate to lead Nigeria out of its present predicament.

Atiku said he would have defeated former President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2003 if he had contested against his principal.

He described President Goodluck Jonathan as an inexperienced leader under whose leadership Nigeria was going through the worst of times.

Atiku, who is an aspirant of the All Progressives Congress presidential ticket, said he was the only one with the best democratic credentials to lead Nigeria to the next level.

The former Vice President spoke in Jos on Tuesday while addressing presidential delegates for Plateau State at his Rayfield House in Jos.

The APC presidential aspirant however said he was not desperate for power as he was ready to support any candidate that emerged as the party’s presidential flag bearer.

He said, “All these people contesting the presidency are inexperienced compared to my own experience and qualities in democracy, having been the Vice President of Nigeria for good eight years and nobody has broken this record today.

“Nobody fought the military in this country for democracy like me. My mentor, the late Shehu Yar’Adua, lost his life in the course of this struggle. For that reasone, I’m the most experienced politician among those contesting the Presidency.”

The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed three appeals for stay of proceedings application brought by the suspended Chief Judge of Rivers State, Justice Peter Agumagu, against the National Judicial Council.
Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour, in his judgment, held that the appeals were premature and dismissed them accordingly.
Rhodes-Vivour said: “We have examined this and the other grounds of appeal and are satisfied that the issues in the appeal are matters that can be brought to this court when the appeals are concluded.
“Accordingly, the appellant’s application for a stay of proceedings of the pending appeals in the Court of Appeal‎ is hereby struck out.
“The notice of appeal to this court is also struck out.”
Rhodes-Vivour also ordered all the parties in the suit to go back to the Court of Appeal‎ for hearing of the main appeal.
The NJC suspended Agumagu on March 27, nine days after he was sworn in as the Rivers State Chief Judge by Governor Rotimi Amaechi.
Agumagu had sued the NJC over the suspension and prayed for a judicial review of his case by the court.
The suit was before Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court.
The NJC had said it did not recommend Agumagu to Amaechi for the appointment, which, it said, contravened Section 271 of the 1999 Constitution.
The section stipulates that a governor can only make such appointment on NJC’s recommendation.
Ademola decided to hear the case together with the objections raised by the NJC and three others.
However, Agumagu’s counsel, Chief Akinlolu Olujinmi (SAN), argued that decision of the trial court to compile the records of proceedings of the decision of the NJC within 14 days was wrong.
The records had outlined the basis for Agumagu’s suspension.
But Olujinmi contended that the compilation of the records at the trial court did not follow due process because the law stipulated 60 days for the record to be compiled.
He further argued that the Court of Appeal ‎had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal if the records of appeal were not properly compiled.
Counsel, therefore, prayed the Court of Appeal to strike out the records‎ and compel the Court of Appeal to stay proceedings in the appeal.
The Court of Appeal, however, refused to grant his prayers, following which he approached to the apex court.
Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), NJC’s counsel, however, opposed the appeal.
Olanipekun said Olujinmi should have waited for the Court of Appeal to decide the substantive appeal.
The apex court ordered the Court of Appeal‎ to hear the appeal with dispatch and that any party aggrieved by its judgment could then bring an appeal to the Supreme Court.

No God did not, an iceberg did...!!! God is too big for a challenge from a mere man so He allowed an object as small as the iceberg to prove man's weakness...!!!

Oh my God...!!! When?

Vice President Namadi Sambo on Thursday evening met behind closed-doors with principal officers of the House of Representatives elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The meeting which took place at the Presidential Villa, Abuja held a few hours after the riotous situation which broke out while security operatives were preventing the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, from entering the National Assembly.

Sambo met with the lawmakers because President Goodluck Jonathan had travelled to London where he is expected to preside over a meeting of Nigeria’s Honorary International Investment Council.

The lawmakers were led to the meeting by the Deputy Speaker, Emeka Ihedioha.

Other lawmakers in the delegation were the House Leader, Mulikat Adeola-Akande; the Deputy House Leader, Leo Ogor; and the Chief Whip, Ishaku Bawa.

They arrived the Presidential Villa at about 5pm and left at about 6.15pm.

They did not speak with journalists after the meeting.

Tambuwal was the target of attack of the policemen who released the teargas. He took to his heels as the teargas was released.

Clear case of murder/assassination through poisoning ...!!! First the car tyre didn't leave a print or the print was carefully concealed after the car got to its current position. Second a make-shift pillow was made for the man.
