Good luck to them......let's see how S-Easterners play opposition politics.

south east has always been in the opposition. It is only in the return of democracy in 1999 that south east became part of the ruling party. We are used to being opposition.

South Easterners dont speak with the two sides of their mouth. We know what we want & we always go for it. Even if we fail, we know how to begin afresh without stress.

We know how to kll fish, roast fish & east fish. We are not babies that wait to fed by their “leaders.“

So proud to be a SOUTH EASTERNER though not a member of PDP... But strong & SERIOUS suppoter of my HERO... Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (Ph.D) GCFR.

what other choice is open to them?? They couldn't grow either of APGA or PPA, wouldn't be caught dead in the company of the "amala eating set/supporter of APC crowd"and are the only ones left in the almost capsized PDP.

was South west able to grow AD? Were they able to grow AC? What of ACN, did they grow it...? The answer is NO!

Was the north able to grow ANPP? What of CPC, did they grow it? the answer is another NO!

Or do u think APC is a product of a grown political party? Not so sir. APC is a product of 3 parties coming together to become one. That is not growth, it is synergy.

Which people formed PDP? am sure you dont know how PDP came into existence. Or do you think PDP is a northern party? No sir it is not.

The reason why OBJ was manipulated into being the president over Ekwueme in 1999 was to apease the yorubas over what happend in 1992 & the death of Abiola that followed after.

So please dont even go that side you are going into.

Check well since 1999 till 2015 Igbos have been very visible in PDP government.

Ilekeh:
This is an opportunity for the southeast to own pdp. If done right, Southeast will be the new PDP primary region.

well it all depends on what happens on saturday in the north. If PDP governors regain their states & win more states, it means PDP will maintain with their structures but if APC wins northern states then it means SE/SS will systematically restructure PDP. Then own it. Because for now PDP is the only party that has strong grassroot unless things turn the other way on saturday. Because it is saturday‘s election that will really show the true strenght of APC & PDP especially in the north. If you judge with the presidential election you will get decieved.

That one many water went through so many bridges... But is well even inside well.

It is good inside lagoon. “in Oba Akiolu‘s voice“

mideoti:
Give this guy a break for Pete's sake. Am not saying what he said was right.....i consider it as an absolutely ridiculous statement coming from a person of high position in the Yoruba community
But all the same, an Oba is an Oba, treat him like one even if he doesn't deserve it.
........just saying

okay ohhh.

He is just tasteing a pinch dose of what GEJ has faced for 3years.

There is nothing wrong if he goes to the NHRC just to clear his name...

An Oba is a NIGERIAN & must be guided by our belief in One Nation, one destiny & united in our DIVERSITY.

Nuhu Ribadu’s chances of winning the Adamawa governorship election was left in tatters today, following the desertion of his Peoples Democratic Party by party bigwigs to the All Progressives Congress.

Leading the defectors was former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Jonathan Zwingina. Othes were a former Minister of External Affairs, Idi Hong, and two serving Senators, Bello Tukur and Ahmed Barata, as well as Sadiq Haske.

They announced their defection at a press conference in Yola today.

Zwingina, who spoke on behalf of the defectors, said they decided to pitch their tent with the APC to support the party’s governorship candidate, Bindow Jibrilla.

“We are positive of the change going on now in the country; we believe in the candidacy of Bindow,” he said.

Zwingina and Hong lost in their bid to represent Adamawa Central and Southern district in the National Assembly elections held on March 28.

Earlier in the day they met with the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, who was in Yola to campaign for the APC.http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/04/09/nuhu-ribadu-dumped-2-days-to-polls/

okay oh... Nigerians politicians do not ideology... they only head to where their stomach head...

Wot abt high costs of productn expecially due to lact of electrity and also 'crazy' taxes nd levies meant to cripple entrepreneurz.
If u cn survive in Nigeria, u cn survive anywere else in d world.

well i dont know how many countries you v lived in & how many you have started a business in. However, from experience not minding the challenge of electricity depending on what you are going into, Nigeria is still the easiest country to start up a business or SME.

The major problem facing Nigeria small business owners is how to manage finance, PERIOD.

Because it easier to run a business here without being heavily taxed or u even paying tax at all. Many people tend to spend money & prove themselves to be “big“ girls or boys. They end up eating part of their start up capital.

As bad as Nigeria is, it is still better than any other country I have been to.
No country in Europe & Africa can compeet with Nigeria in SMEs. Nigerians are so so enterprising & if we can get some little financial management brain, we will go places.

Inkman:
okay i should agree with you
but i dont see pdp rising up to the occasion

APC is 3 in one party. Maybe other parties might join force to form another party just as CPC, ACN & ANPP did.

I really wish Nigeria is a two party state... Seriously

Canme4u:
How is this my problem if some people decided to be bombing themselve because of their hatred for APC?
Infact, make the bombing commence.

i like your signature. It is a reflection of your thought & a backup to your comment.

Congratulations.

Christians re just not save in the north.

what you dont understand is that these christians are also northerners who live in their own village. Where are they to go? Should they all join islam? God please protect & save northern Christian community... In JESUS NAME...AMEN

chi4ik4:
Buhari is too smart, he has gotten what he wanted from Tinibu & there is no way Tinibu will control GMB. Nigeria will soon regret voting APC into power. Tinibu, Amechi, okorocha etc r all corrupt & evil. APC will soon scatter...quote me anywhere & anytime

okay oh.

I have taken my position near the cracked wall to watch what happens behind the walls... I promise not to tell. Believe me if i tell you that APCheats will end up cheating themselves out.

STPEACE:
Tinubu is a criiminal, let him allow our Presido to make his choice abeg.

Tinubu has become a thief after he had packeged “your“ presido, abi? When Tinubu was jumping up & down eveywhere & mobolising yorubas to back GMB, then he was a saint now he has become a thief, abi?

Okay we are watching you people from cracked walls

CR77:
Good News

i think they said everybody has joind APC... Say no more opposition...

montedo:
Its aii bro! Nigeria wont split and Nigeria will be great again. Thats my prayer.

amen. I am a believer of ONE NIGERIA...

aderonila18:
Guys listen to this audio before you decide. Clearly there is more to this than we've been told The Igbo leaders need to come out and say the truth about that meeting. Listen to the audion of the response of the Igbo leaders to Oba and you will know that sounds like friends joking around . This is after Obas comments, obvious this is some sort if swearing between leaders who had a pact

well APC big wigs thinks differently even the whole world know that what the Oba said is not a joke at all except Joke Silva & Pat Utomi.

Fairgodwin:
Nigeria, gradually (or speedily?) turning into a one party state. This is not going to be healthy for our democracy and country in the long run.
Though I'm trusting the PDP will find its feet again.

If no one wants to play the opposition how will our country get better... I wish we can go into 2 party state

jaelz:
aii there's a new trend in town known as the underboob selfie take a pics of your self showing your underboobs a lil lets see how endowed your are..

LOLZZZZ

someone who is afraid of saying what gender he/she is can not post any underboobs picture... my conclusion is that you are not even a woman, lady or a girl... you are here to mislead others... devil is knocking at your door... becareful

Which joke be that? Why didnt the palace come out to say that it was a joke. Is Pat now the spokesperson for the Oba? Pat is only trying to protect APC of which he is a senior member... PERIOD

montedo:
You could have just answered the questions without adding 'owing rent' part.. How come leaving our lands is the last option for u even when provoked ? The answer is obvious, isnt it? Yorubas relocate more to places like Abeokuta and Ibadan than Ibos do to the east, why Admit it; You need us and as such should respect your hosts.
I have no problem with people hustling anywhere but i had to reply that guy cos saying a particular state is a no man's land is a grave insult to any Oba in Yoruba land. Things may change but as it stands, Ibos have more to lose if everyone is asked to return to their regions. Its not rocket science, is it ? * I have an Ibo babe and wont want u peeps to return though..Love you all!

well I added "the rent thing" so that you see it is not only Igbo interest Igbos pursue where ever they live.

Igbos live everywhere in the world not only in Lagos.
Yes Igbos have more to lose if Nigeria decides to divide. Now if yorubas live only in yoruba land and hausas live only in hausa land and Igbos live in all these places, that will tell you that it is only the Igbos that believe and promote "one Nigeria." Also it will also make you to understand why they want to be part of the process that will produce who will be their governor or Assembly men.

Abayhormy:
Dint quite construct it right, I'm at work, & I had to type in a rush. But, if you truly know politics like you said, and Ekiti politics in particular, you would know what I mean is that the APC speaker was impeached by 7 PDP lawmakers despite the fact that Apc lawmakers were against it and they are 19. The 19 Apc lawmakers have since ran for their dear lives ever since because of treats to their life.

Am sorry for sounding has... Its okay...


How is work going today?

omenka:
My point is that they are getting their priorities wrong. If they can mobilise this sort of mass action against the SE governors and force them to deliver on their promises, and with the gift of an average Igbo man to create wealth out of thin air, the SE would have been a Dubai of sorts in Nigeria today.

sir you are wrong. Their priorities in this case is set in the right direction. These men and women are people that spend at least 300days of lives in LAGOS. They make their money & buy properties with what they made from Lagos. If they dont vote right and someone goes in their nd make policies that will effect their daily endevour badly... Humn!

They should vote in someone that will consider them a major contributor to lagos economy not someone who wish they are all sent parking without any property.

As for making SE Dubai. This sounds very funny sha.

Abayhormy:
Hello, Mr or Mrs; are you implying that you support 7 PDP lawmakers unlawfully impeaching 19 Apc lawmakers for going to a year now, and your 'Holy' GEJ & PDP kept quiet & did not see anything wrong with it .

i am sure u dont know anything about politcs. How can someone impeech lawmakers? Such a thing doesnt happen. abeg ask you neighbour to explain to you okay. Thank u

PassingShot:
Do you know that their tenure does not end until May 29 irrespective of what happens at the polls?

you are right my brother. Nothing will happen between saturday & may 29th.

Impeachment has a process. They have to constitute a pannel through AGS that will hear from both sides etc. Forget Fayose is the governor of Ekiti & Ekiti people dont hate him.

montedo:
Your people prefer our land to yours, yes or no?A good number of your people make their millions in our land, Yes or No? You have at least 5 relatives in Yoruba land, Yes or No?

To your first question- NO! We dont prefer anybody‘s land more than our own. We travel all over the world & make our wealth then take it back to our land to build mantions, and develop our land more and better.

We make our millions in ur land because Igbos see gold where your people dust. When we look at garbage, we take it & turn it into beautiful things that is just our simple secret.

I have more than 5 relative in your land & if my people gets angry and leave your land, landlords in your will all go banckrupt because only my people can pay house rent your people always owe house rent. You see that is just that.

omenka:
When are you people going to become so decisive in dealing with politicians from the SE that have been stealing the region dry??

Isn't this applying force in the wrong direction

are you saying Igbos in Lagos should not go out enmass to vote for the candidate of choice on saturday? Which force are they applying in wrong direction here?

These men & women live & dine in Lagos. Most Igbos in Lagos are more Lagosians than their state of origin.

Na wa you oh! As they were able to get up to 4 house of rep members on 28th march & sure they can get upto 6 house of assembly members on saturday.
