@at david mark, the same thing he said when he encouraged IBB to annul June 12 election won by MKO

That's not true? source please.....

Adminisher:
Telling us that Ameachi was house boy to Odilli, used to wear the same shirt for days?. Even Amaechi has said worse about himself. He has said the same thing at many interviews. It is why Rivers people love him. You say he did not actually win elections but the courts made him governor, even Amaechi already said God made him governor. What else?.

Telling us you went to a good school while Amaeachi went to RSUST, we know that. It is not your intellect but your MENTALITY. Amaechi has better mentality. His explanation of CHANGE was clear- it is an unexplained, unexplainable phenomenon that happens, it does not have to be right or wrong, it just happens. Nigerians want change, it is primal, atavistic, it is a peaceful revolution.

FFK was too past and present focussed and defensive.

...........Please Rivers people don't like him....They say his is too arrogant!

Goodnuel:
You don't get the point.

.....then make me get it.....

caselessogbuagu:
you registered in 2007 and have just made over 300 post. I can see.
Again, when you said you were in primary school when buhari was in govt, and going by this, I'm sure you are married with kids right now, and I gave you that respect. I must say that i'm disappointed by your reply, madam chiaka.

That was my experience and a candid one! what's there to be disappointed about.

caselessogbuagu:
another disappointing reply from chiaka herself.

Talk for yourself......disappointing to you. lol! lol!

spott:
Following former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s public act of tearing his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s membership card last week, another member of the party Yunusa Halid, has also torn his membership card, defecting to the opposition party, APC.

Mr. Halid, a youth leader in new Karo dumped PDP the same way baba did.

the 1st line in bold: I want you to give me a video link of shekau clearly naming buhari as one of the mediators to mediate between them and FG. I can give you a video link of shekau calling buhari an infidel.
The second line in bold: I wasn't born then, but i'v taken my time to read about it. If that has been maintained(WAI) , we would not have been this less law-abiding and indisciplined. Those that came after him and scrapped the program never put a better plan in place to replace WAI.
Third line in bold: I guess you have to go and read more on buharinomics to get yourself acquainted with some gargantuan economic milestone of buhari days. I'm on mobile, I cant give you link now.

The best means to implement WAI is through terrorism!! I get your message.

this guy has just a vote to offer.
Wonder why Nairalanders celebrate him lyk He's gonna deliver a ward for PDP.

MY PEOPLE HISTORY IS THERE TO SPEAK FOR IT SELF ENOUGH OF ALL THIS DECEPTION BY PDP WE ARE NOW WISER. NO MORE CARELESS GOVT. GEJ HAS FAILED WOEFULLY SECURITY WISE. FULLSTOP.

Are you not aware there is war against Boko now. Your write up is stale!!

mymadam:
A lot has been written and said on the raw issue of endorse­ment of presidential candidates by in­dividuals, groups and organizations. But the issue closer to my interest and concern was the purported endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo.

It worries me that there are no known conditions upon which the support for Jonathan is based, thereby making cynics postulate that Igbo interests have not been cardinal to the pro-Jonathan elements. But the Igbo vote can never be for sale as long as some of us are still breathing and kicking. We all know that as a result of the posturing of these elements, the destiny of the people of the Southeast geopolitical zone and of the Igbo people elsewhere is being daily com­promised on a grand scale. The impending tragedy is far beyond the imagination of most people.

One of the biggest investments in the whole of the Southeast is the integrated 141 Megawatt Aba Power Project built by Geometric Power Ltd at the cost of well over $500million. It has been completed but cannot start commercial operations be­cause the federal administration has been waging a most unconscionable war against it for purely the private interests of some people in government and their proxies who handed over electricity distribution in the entire geopolitical zone to a firm which both the Bureau of Public Enterprises and the Na­tional Council on Privatisation say in an of­ficial report has neither the technical ability nor the financial muscle to run the business.

Professor Bart Nnaji, the erstwhile Minister of Power and world class academic who led the consortium which built the Aba Power Project, pays an average of $3.5m every month to service the debt. Yet, Aba, the head­quarters of indigenous technology in Nigeria, has no electricity, like the rest of the country. If the project, which has long attracted inter­national interest is frustrated by the Federal Government, how can international investors be convinced that Nigeria is ready for busi­ness? Anytime the Aba issue is tabled before Jonathan, he promises to set up a committee to resolve the matter. Still, nothing has come out of the promises. The supreme irony is that President Jonathan made electricity develop­ment the number one issue in his 2011 elec­tion manifesto.

The official strangulation of the Aba Pow­er project is unfortunately only one in a series of steps which the administration has taken to compromise the destiny of the Igbo people. For example, a few months ago, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), chaired by Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke, the Honourable Minister of Petroleum Resourc­es, directed that the little quantity of natural gas made available to the Southeast be divert­ed to other parts of the country.

ExxonMobil, in particular, which produces 400million stan­dard cubic feet (scf) of gas from its offshore facility in Eastern Nigeria, but uses 100mscf of it at its plant in the same place, was com­pelled to divert it to Oben and different parts of the country except the East.

This directive had grave implications. In­ternational firms like General Electric, the world’s biggest electric equipment manufac­turer, which have been in negotiations with investors with a view to building power plants in the East, was compelled to suspend negoti­ations because of the directive.

The NNPC di­rective also negatively affected various power projects in the East, whether owned by the Federal Government or by the private sector. Insufficient gas supply is the greatest threat to the take-off and performance of power plants in the area, given that all the plants are ther­mal or gas-fired. Therefore, the order to stop supply by as much as 300mscf by ExxonMo­bil alone only exacerbated the situation.

It is difficult to understand why natural gas, which is produced mostly in the Eastern axis of Nigeria, is grossly insufficient in the area, and the little quantity available is now being taken away by an administra­tion which is touted to be ours. We do not know what the people of the Southeast in particular have done to deserve this kind of total disregard for their collective interests and future. But as different analysts have pointed out over the period, the way some people in our place have gone about the campaign for the return of President Jona­than to office without conditions would only give rise to various cases of grave dis­regard for us.

It is instructive that the proposed sec­ond Niger Bridge is about only 15 metres longer than the Loko-Eweto Bridge in Benue State which the Federal Govern­ment is on the verge of completing. While the Loko-Eweto Bridge is costing N47bil­lion, N114.8billion is budgeted for the sec­ond Niger Bridge! The reason for the wide disparity is that the second Niger Bridge which is going to be a private-public part­nership and involves a mere N30billion payment by the Federal Government and huge payments by both the Anambra and Delta State governments, will have toll gates on it, thus enabling the investors to re­coup their capital with enormous profit within 25 years.

But the greater worry is that the Sec­ond Niger Bridge promise is a public relations stunt. Julius Berger has not been paid a kobo to this day! The construction giant was directed to move a few machines to site for public re­lations purposes when the president went to Onitsha to flag it off on March 10, 2014. The so-called flag-off is reminiscent of the presi­dent’s commissioning on October 3, 2013, of the 434Megawatt National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) at Geregu in Kogi State on Oc­tober 19, 2013, and of the 500MW NIPP plant at Omotosho in Ondo State on October 16, 2013, even though there are no gas pipelines to them. The result is that none of the plants has produced electricity for a second!

The Igbo people should have read the hand­writing early enough. Captain Emmanuel Ihe­anacho, the current gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), enjoys the unenviable reputation of being the only minister under Jonathan to be suspended in office. For merely having a policy disagree­ment with the then permanent secretary in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dr (Mrs) Awosi­ka, he was disgraced out of office, accused of incompetence the day after Jonathan was re­elected on April 16, 2011. Despite the fantas­tic work which Professor Bart Nnaji, a world acclaimed scientist and engineer, was doing in the Federal Ministry of Power, the admin­istration launched a campaign to besmirch his hard-earned personal and professional reputa­tion.

Professor Nnaji, whom the globally influ­ential Economist magazine on September 8, 2012, called the only “spark of light” in Presi­dent Jonathan’s government, was forced to resign in order to retain his credibility. His res­ignation shocked the whole world, rattling the World Bank and other electricity development partners like the Department of Foreign Devel­opment of the United Kingdom and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It is regrettable that while the whole world was embarrassed at Nnaji’s resignation, the Igbo leaders in the PDP kept silent because of the crumbs they were receiving from State House, Abuja. I am on record as the only Igbo political leader who not only protested against the ominous development, but also insisted that another Igbo of repute be considered as Prof Nnaji’s successor as the Minister of Power.

The Nnaji treatment, without the Igbo PDP members fighting back, emboldened the PDP administration to treat other distinguished Igbo people with contempt. Eze Festus Odimegwu was unceremoniously thrown out as chairman of the National Population Commission, even without observing constitutional provisions. His only offence, as President Jonathan him­self stated at least on two occasions in public, was his announcement of his determination to conduct a free and fair census! Odimegwu was not just another public officer. He is, for all practical purposes, a genius. He was the best graduating student at the University of Nige­ria, Nsukka, despite attending a community secondary school where he passed the West African School Certificate with distinction, and went on to emerge the overall best postgraduate student at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, the first time a black person has won the hon­our at this historic institution known globally for excellence.

Since Lt Gen Azubuike Ihejirika ceased to be the Chief of the Army Staff on January 16, 2014, no Igbo person has been sitting on the nation’s security council. No other major ethnic group has been subjected to this kind of mar­ginalization and humiliation.

There is a deliberate onslaught against the development of Igboland by the federal gov­ernment and its agents in the South-East. My honest advice to them is simple: Igbo votes are not for sale to the highest bidders.

Hmmmmm really? Its better to die for things that have everlasting values and not Nigerian politicians who are not ready to live for u let alone die for you. pls dont waste that precious gift!

* I have never seen any school built in his name. *
I have never seen any borehole constructed by him.
* There is no record of any scholarship awarded by
him or for him nor through him. * I have never
seen him use his popularity to canvass for any
charitable work nor any humanitarian effort, not
even at the height of the polio scourge where other
purposeful and prominent leaders lead the
campaign for immunization. * No single text book
has been donated to any school either by him, for
him or through him. * Asides from doing nothing,
he has not improved himself since his exit from
office. * No book written, no memoirs, no lectures,
nothing. * The only thing of note he can point to
are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa
station. * He never champion for a university in his
state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of
programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in
Daura. * His entire existence has not lead to any
meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he
can change Nigeria. Doesn't charity begin at home
again? * No wonder he was referred to as being
''perpetually unelectable''. * He is not a patron to
any organization, group or association. * No
professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him
for their lecture, convention or gala night. * The
only time any known form, body or human
assemblage ever chose him to do anything for
them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect
nominated him as their spoke person in the
proposed talks with the Fed. Govt. He recently
joined twitter because of elections. At 72 what does
he have to offer? I need change we all need
change but Gen Buhari isn't the answer!

caselessogbuagu:
you are very right. My love is triggered by 16 years of misrule by the pdp. Buhari is not perfect, but i'm ready to give him my all. I'm jst tired of pdp.

....and you think GMB can bring that change. . Maybe might stop boko, because he is their man. After all they ones picked him
to negotiate on their behalf. As for transforming Nigeria Nope. What GMB fought in his 18 months of rule was 'war against
Indiscipline' and not corruption.
Whereby soldiers were all over town terrorising, embarrassing and flogging grown ups for not queue, even
children were not left out. I was then in primary school. Perhaps you were not born then. People were
living in fear and terror. That's not leadership but terrorism.

He fought corruption by forcefully accusing and terrorising innocent politicians. I remember
the case of pa Awolowo.
and for the 18 months he ruled before he was ousted by a coup, the same way he gained power,
no economic milestone was achieved in Nigeria by him. So I wonder what magic you think he will perform.

afuye:
The Igbo council, which comprises Igbo speaking community, Igbo community and Ohaneze group, said it has adopted the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The spokesperson of the group, Eze Uche Dimgba, called on all Igbo in the state to vote for the APC.

He said: “Some people came from outside Lagos and meet with few titled holders. They issued a statement supporting PDP candidates in Lagos. That is not our position.

“We are supporting the APC and this is the party we are going to vote for. We are calling on all Igbo people to support APC and vote for the party at all levels in the general elections.

“Every election year, Igbo in Lagos run after the PDP but the APC usually wins the election.

“If our host does not vote for PDP, we, Ndigbo, must support them so that we can enjoy dividends of democracy with them.

“If you vote for the PDP, it’s going to be a waste of time; they can never win here, so we are going to vote for the APC.”

He called on all Igbo people to discard any information telling them to support the PDP.

“The people claiming to be members of this council that endorsed PDP candidates are frauds.

“The group does not belong to the Eze Ndigbo community in the state,” he added.

Lagos APC Publicity Secretary Joe Igbokwe said the political calculation does not favour President Goodluck Jonathan, considering that the North and Southwest, which have the largest number of voters, have thrown their weight behind the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

He urged the Igbo to support APC for the zone to actualise Igbo presidency in future.

Igbokwe said an Igbo presidency can never be realised without the Igbo working with Hausa and Yoruba people, because they are the three major tribes in Nigeria.

A member of the House of Representatives and Lagos State Coordinator Buhari/Osinbajo Campaign Organisation, James Abiodun Faleke, assured the groups of government’s support.

“If you show your support to us openly, there’s nothing you will not get in the state; you will be part of the government.”

Make only im vote!!!

Goodnuel:
I wasn't sleeping sire... I only explained what the other person meant by the "nigerian factor" which is a FACT.

I make pams[Foot wares]. Even better than some Aba products[you might want to patronize me. Check my profile to do so]. We have clients in Aba that we make this pams for but the truth is that an average nigerian who has a good income doesn't rate nigerian products. That is a fact that we manufacturers are facing.. And about Dangote, I think he got bigger when the Govt banned the importation of products of his kind..

Summary*

The Nigerian factor remains, we can only change that ourselves because nigerian manufacturers make very good products at affordable prices.

Thank u.

I think your problem is the way you package yourself and your product and you have no advert means! so how will you grow??

Call me on this number 0803375081you can make Wall Clock

You build the clock engine yourself or you import it?

100Cents:
If we keep thinking this direction, naira will continue to lose value.

Bros, start looking for a product you can manufacture and export to earn dollar. By so doing, you are helping our currency and economy. This your line is very old and archaic.

For exampke, I used to buy fancy palms that fail me under under 6months to 1 year. After several dissapointments( You wan go somewhere, your palms just fail), I opted for Aba made. I have been wearing Aba made palms for more than 2 years now.

So how are Nigerian made goods inferior to imported goods ? Don't you have an eye for quality goods when you enter the market ?

Was this Dangote's mentality when he started making flour, sugar, cement and spaghetti ? Wake up.

Well spoken. !!!
