On the shoulders of the youths (as exemplified by the Youth Corpers) shall arise the building blocks of a new Nigeria. , Youths obey the clarion call,

Oil shouldn't prevent us from exploiting other sources of revenue. It's alarming that Onion should cost that much in Nigeria, Jos riot or not. We should give serious thoughts to micro agricultural scheme. Growing onions shouldn't be a problem

[quote author=ndu_chucks link=topic=587752.msg7555713#msg7555713 date=1295355866]Why is it that, Igbo people put in very important leadership positions end up disgraced out of the position either because of corruption or by other Igbo leaders orchestrating their demise??[/quote]It's rather that the so called leaders are short-sighted. Why fight with his state Governor? Was that the only way to prove his relevance? He should have kept his sight on the ball at the national level, instead he was haggling with his state governor over who should go the state house of assembly.

The boot serves him right. Even if the SE eventually looses the PDP chairmanship, so what. Since they had it, what has it brought to the region in terms of tangible achievements? Nothing but to derail a Governor that has been hitherto providing good leadership to his people

Good riddance

Jega accompanied Jonathan the President not Jonathan the PDP candidate. Usually the world over, such campaigns are kicked off with the head of the Agency registering the President. Who are Ribadu and Buhari that Jega should accompany them? The best they can get would be the State INEC coordinator

How do you explain the video below

http://www.saharareporters.com/news-page/video-delta-re-run-stealing-ballots

The video is not conclusive. The ballot box was taken and whoever took it walked casually to a waiting bus, and the 2 Police security escorts, 2 NYSC (ad-hoc staff) and possibly other electoral officers all went and entered the same bus. Could it have been that the snatching was carried out by the very people who were supposed to have conducted the election?

Ogboru doesn't have the capacity to win the election. His supporters are spreading the rumors so that when the final result is finally released, they will have something to whine about and prepare for the courts in Benin in 2014 to call for a rerun of the rerun election.

Has anybody ever given thoughts to the fact that should Uduaghan win this rerun and possible go for a second term in 2015, he would have ruled Delta state for 11 years by the time his 2 terms expires in 2019?

If Orubebe (I guess he alone represents the President's men) is supporting Great Ogboru, so what! That he's GEJ's minister doesn't mean he has to support whoever the president is supporting politically? It could well be that Ogboru and Orubebe are from the same ethnic stock. Such primordial affiliations are stronger than party affiliation

bombay:
E go red well well this night if them say na pdp win o

@ Bombay, so you are ready to shed blood if your candidate isn't declared the winner? There are well over 3200 polling units in Delta, and if DPP wins in the area you are monitoring doesn't mean the party will win the governorship election. So reserve the knife you've sharpened to shed blood for the next christmas. It is people like you who are intolerant that are the problem we have in Nigeria

duality:
how would dpp and rpn be going for an election battle in delta state and not recruiting enough thugs. To me, its funny. Maybe pdp have stronger thugs. Well i've followed the election in delta north and i can say its been peaceful. I think the troubled areas are in delta central and part of south. But generaly its an ok election irrespective of who wins. Every one wants his candidate to win. Believe me non of the parties have the right candidate for delta state. For now, people vote based on necessity, ethnicity and monetary inducement

@ Duality, your comment makes sense. They are not the best that Delta State can bring forward, but if you wish to rule, you have to raise up your hand and be counted and be voted for. Of all the candidates, Uduaghan seems to be the most experienced. Besides, should he win today, he would have divorced himself from the ghost of Ibori and be judged based on his own record of achievement

@ Bombay, to turn on a phone camera and hold it casually in the hand isn't like carrying a big VHS camera. So what risk are you talking about? If all your foot soldiers and men on ground are able to send you those reports, apparently through telephone, they can as well record the events as evidence. Warri is only a city in the state. Why are they reporting orderly elections in other parts of the state and your foot soldiers are reporting problem in Warri. Should we not assume that Ogboru's thugs are the ones instigating the trouble as to have a reason to continue their macabre dance with the judicial officials, knowing as it is, that they stand no chance of winning the election

@ Bombay, why only PDP thugs? Doesn't Great Ogboru have his own thugs and what are they up to? Knowing his antecedents and romance with Khaki boys one would assume that he should be able to counter whatever the other camps throw at them

Believe me, take whatever you hear from Saharareporters with a pinch of salt. Most likely a one-sided report

sochan:
Please people go to the sahara-reporters link and get firsthand information. what is going on is terrible.

I said that this will define the general elections this year.

And you trust the sources there absolutely? In this age where most people carry mobile phones capable of taking still pictures and videos, why aren't there any of those eye witness documentation of the ballot snatchings and stuffings as evidence?

Saharareporters has always been an anti-establishment rumor mongers

Our girls tried given the conditions on ground (weather). To have come from a tropical climate and play a friendly game against the Germans with the temperature at -1°C and concede only 8 goals is a tribute to them

We are proud of you girls

They went down gallantly. Hold your heads up, girls, we are proud of you and what you've achieved.

what happened to the goal keeper that was between the posts during their game against Chile? They should start packing their bags - definitive. I don't see anything that Njoku has added to the game since she came on.

I take my words back

The girls are out. The gave their best though

The penalty decision was a correct one. The Korean player was on the 18 yard box line and according to the rules, is part of the penalty area. case closed. I see our girls not surviving this game

leading again. there's still more goals in this game 3-2

honeric01:
where were all the defenders? what's wrong with all these defenders?

How about the goalkeeper, Abu? She was just watching the ball roll into her net

The technical deficiencies in our team is beginning to show. The coach has to talk to his girls to close out the midfield

2-0 already after just less than 5 minutes of play. Loving these girls

Great play so far by our girls. They have a compact team and are controlling the game very well. Second half should hold more goals as the Chileans surge forward to look for goals, giving our girls more room to foray into their dangerous zone. My prediction - 5-1

cold:
This match was fixed,i can't blv this  .

What do you think a Haye v Klitschko bout wld look lyk

Well, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. Haye seems like afraid but if Klitschko gets an opponent who is same height, it will definitely be an interesting bout.

A good sportsman though. Going over to congratulate his opponent and "beater"

don't be alarmed. He's not dead yet. Saw his tongue moving

that's it

Someone should advise Samuel to throw in the towel now. He can't see. I think Klitschko is going for the kill now

Just called my people who are therewatching it live. They've almost hidden their Nigerian flags - well, Samuel Peter just connected one small jab - for a change

Did you see Samuel's face as his gloves were being rightly taped? His eyes are almost completely shut

His challenger hasn't even broken any sweat yet. Klitschko doesn't even need the break. Round 7 beginning. The referee is the only interesting guy there
