The present economic downturn calls for soberness as it has hit hard on the living standard of Nigerians. there is virtually no aspect of the economy that is not affected. However, it is a time we must show comportment, be disciplined and think straight. It is not a time we fan the embers of ethnicity and sectionalism. This will do us no good; since austerity is respecter of nobody or affiliation. This moment calls for every region that constitute Nigeria to come together and drive this project call Nigeria to its expected height. At the same time I wish to remind Nigerians that power comes from God only. The present economic reality tends to vindicate the former president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan whose disparagement and abuse knew no dimension. Power comes from God, we come, do our best and leave for another. It is my believe that we are not reaping the consequences of our actions and in-actions. This trying times calls for all tribe to come to the table of reconciliation and with the heart of forgiveness lest we fail to tap from the strenght of one another to solve this menace. We need the ingeniuty of our Ibo brothers, we need the knowledge of our western brothers, the tact of our brothers from the south and the trust of our Northern brothers to unlock the potentials of this great country. Me think what hatred does is to lock our collective intelligence and keep us in a state of perpertual backwardness. Let us forgive our past and walk together to ther future for the purpose of posterity.
The emergenge Of president Buhari at this crucial time of our national life is a test to our collective forbearance. If he should succeed then he must rule with humilty and eschew all forms of vindictiveness. He must carry everyone along, hear their opinions and seek their collective wellbeing.
We believ in the Nigerian project no matter how dark the cloud is.

according to African News Today, the UK parliament has endorsed the conduct of a referendum in respect to the agitations for the state of Biafra. It would be recalled that there has been pockets of protest that started in Anambra state and spread to other states of the South Eastern Nigeria and some states of the South South, following the arrest and continous detention of the Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. Recently, the protest took a turn in the commercial city of Nigeria, Lagos.

I stated that he has won my admiration on two things; the uniformity of pump price of pms and the unbias representation in the ministerial list if we go by the names published from unofficiall sources.

We have been keen observers of political events ever since President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice professor Osibanjo were sworn in on May 29, 2015; the anti corruption crusade, political appointments and many other events of national appeal. There were lots of concern about the loopsidedness of appointment which showed complete disregard to national character and the geo political mix of the nation. I personally was worried. I never voted neither believed in Buhari. However my disbelief in Buhari is not holding sway in the face of reasoning. How do I explain the uniformity of pump price of PMS. Yesterday I read from Cable News the likely names that made it in the Ministerial list. If this is true, my question is, is president Muhammadu Buhari bigotedd? Note, he has not won my complete admiration yet. But I think I give it him in this one. Proudly south south

softwareman:
You obviously sound like you are too confused or partisan to analyse the issues.
IF THE PARTY AND THE APC CAUCUS CAN NOT ELECT THEIR LEADER, IS IT DOGARA AND HIS PDP MASTERS THAT HAS THE RIGHT TO ZONE AND CHOOSE LEADERS FOR APC MEMBERS IN THE HOUSE.
PARTY SUPRE,MACY OR DOGARA SUPREMACY!!

You have quickly forgotten how Tambuwal backstab his party while he held sway as the speaker of NASS., It is simple-what is good for the geese is good for the gander. Live with it and leave Dogara alone to perform his constitutional functions

what goes around comes around. APC beaten at their game na Godwin.

ok

blame, blame everywhere. Now nobody to blame again. Tanker capsized blame GEJ, woman abandon husband blame GEJ, fight in national assembly blame GEJ, ASUU go on strike blame GEJ, workers unpaid salary Blame GEJ, satan fall from paradise blame GEJ-all our woes since independence blame GEJ-now no GEJ to blame. NOn publication of ministerial list blame Saraki, Implosion of APC blame Saraki, complete ineptitude and lack of skills to administer a 21st century governance blame Saraki- Let the blame game continue until we would see no one to blame.

Former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi has described Governor Nyesom Wike’s plans to probe him as ‘dead on arrival.’ Amaechi also stated that Wike’s main aim was to grab media attention with noise and drama.

The former Governor made the comments via a statement released on Sunday, June 21, 2015.

It reads:

“This so called Wike’s probe of Amaechi is dead on arrival. All the noise Wike is making is to grab media headlines with his lies of monumental corruption against Amaechi. It’s all drama made for the media. What is playing out is a script written and directed by Nyesom Wike.”

“Wike should move to Nollywood where his devious skills would probably be useful. Even while inaugurating his yeoman commission of Inquiry, Wike could not conceal his vendetta agenda.”

For more news and entertainment, visit www.exlinklodge.com

“He was clear to the panel members that their job is to indict Amaechi. While it’s no longer in doubt what would be the report of Wike’s sham probe commission. What may shock Nigerians is the extent Wike has gone and is ready to go to manufacture stories of corrupt practices, and the kind of bogus tales of corruption against Amaechi that he would soon be feeding the nation.”

“We are aware that even the Chairman of his Inquiry Commission, was shocked and protested when Wike gave him the litany of phony claims of corruption against Amaechi that the chairman would write in the panel’s report. But Wike had assured him not to worry that he had since been working towards arriving at that conclusion and he would provide the commission with all the (fake) evidence needed to arrive at that report. Truly, since May 29, that is all Wike has been doing; cooking spurious reports of corruption against Amaechi.”

“Wike has been intimidating, threatening, coercing and blackmailing officials of the past administration, especially civil servants into making false, phony and bogus statements that would make legitimate government transactions appear as corrupt practices.”

“Permanent Secretaries, Directors of Finance and Administration (DFAs), the State bankers and even contractors are harassed, threatened and blackmailed to twist and distort, or even completely alter legitimate government transactions in his desperation to cook up, and fabricate sham cases of corruption against Amaechi.” - See more at: http://www.exlinklodge.com/2015/06/wike-should-move-to-nollywood-ex.html#sthash.J5Bs2NH1.dpuf

righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any person. The earlier Nigerians learn to be objective in their censorship of issues the better for us. We put on our religious, ethnic and political party spectacles when analysing issues. That we do to our own detriment but to the advantage of few privilege individual who have found a footing in the political space of our country Nigeria. We should nurture a political conscience that is above mere tribal and political sentiment if we truly want to move Nigeria forward, lest what we cherish most would become our own undoing and still leave our country as a mere space were vulture and all sorts of ravenous beast from home and abroad come to feast. There is neither Yoruba, Ibo, Hausa nor Ibibios, we are Nigerians. Preach this to everyone and the truth shall set you free.

payless: Buhari has nothing to do with Boko Haram. As a matter of fact, Jonathan is going to align with Boko Haram very soon to get his way in the North. The same Boko Haram that killed many Nigerians. Al-Mustafa and his boss, Abacha killed Ken Saro Wiwa. He is now a saint to many of you. You have also forgotten that Buhari and Al-Mustafa know each other very well during Abacha regime. Buhari is 30 times more popular in the North than Al-Mustafa. Buhari is the most popular politician in the North today.

I can see desperation in you speech. How popular was buhari when he contested against Obasanjo, Y'adua, Goodluck. think of it you can make him permanent contestant. When Tinubu carried out his experimental alignment with buhari under the aegis of mega party acn weds cpc you big mouth never saw it uh! wasnt it this same buhari that went about promising nigerians that if he looses the election the blood will flow and that he wud make sure nigeria becomes like sudan. This is the same man you cherish today. lets face it' stop crying wolf

wey dis south west saddist them? una no come post? abi i de clear u small small for eye.

Policewoman: Dat one na crayfish president. Mind you he was just an interim head of state and not a president

plz dont mention that fool that Abacha's yawn blew out of office. abi you no de shame for somethings

Policewoman: Why won't they be from Ogun state? Is it not only ONE
human being from yorubaland that has been president? Abi dem dey two?

the only yoruba man that has a detralised disposition is obasanjo. who next? so who next?

dayokanu: Those who endorsed Jonathan ask them who is their Governor, Senator, House of rep, Chairman or even Councillor And whether those whom they endorsed won those elections.

Have these non entities managed to win elections on their street before endorsing Retardeen Jonathan

If Jonathan is retardded enough to believe people who cant win elections in their compound would win him South West then he deserves to be used in the laboratory for experiments

what you dont understand is that acn is to parochial and full of sentiment to rule a country that is already plaqued with sectarian spirit like Nigeria. they shuld just be contentented with the six states in south west except the great 'iroko'. we hope that wen they a mature to be objective in heir criticism people will not take you serious

koladebrainiac: Good to know that Jonathan believes in letting the criminals just to get peoples aproval. Alams n mustapha!
Now that northerners are behind him and GEJ supporters are happy,cum 2015,if by chance he lost election, Jonathan guys have no excuse o! Let him employ Yerima,no wahala but if he doesnt win or be the first president to loose primary re election, you guys should not cry seccession o.

is it in acn he wud lose?

ujchief: I'd love to keep the bolded. The info will be very useful in the near future when some peeps will like to tell us that the release of Al mustapha had no political underline and was not influenced by GEJ just to score some political points.

must the president consult anyone before he exercises his veto. i think the president wud never deny his influence in the release of Al Mustapha.

His people should come and adjudicate for him. 'angel' Tinubu, defender of the people.

zizoo36: Hmm! Come 2 think of this happenning in the Northern States, it would have been taken 2 another dimension... It would've been tagged all sort of names & rubbish. All d medias including CNN would've broadcasted it, religious leaders like the CAN President would've said Christain Governors have been humiliated in the North. I must say that the South-South are contributing alot of problems in Nigeria especially Rivers, Bayelsa & Delta States - They are the major problem in Nigeria.

The problem is Mtn has given free mb for people to comment trash. Why shouldn't the self acclaimed freedom fighter and his cohort from the west beam their tribaltrophic gesture on northern states where boko haram sect is roasting innocent Nigerians; abi when CNN, AIT and other news stations get there we tune it off because there is no incentive for AC, PC,AFENI-. My question why do we want to become adjudicators in throwing stone and not destruction of life in the north and intent by bokos to create a religious state.

mens dept: Orji Kalu should just shut up and hide his fat head in shame. He left his state worse off than when he came. Amaechi does not need to listen to criminals like him

You are one of those amala eaters beating drum for ameachi uh?

REHOZIBAH: Stoopid n infantile attempt to curry favour of d
electorates!

Who doesn't kno u Sen.Omisore....even my friend who worked in one of yr companies testified to how mean a man you are

so when a man realises that his people have been enslaved all in the name of regional integration and wants to come out of it you get offended

smartchoice: Can't wait for the disintegration! We Yoruba have what it takes to make us viable n our people participate individually and collectively. In my opinion the oil is a huge distraction and anti development. We can gladly return your oil curse back to you!

guy u no speak like a wise person cos u guy would become our slaves. dont let the sight of those companies over ther to deceive u cos they are fueled by loots from south

EmperorSeal: I pity the guts u think u possess, wiat until we finnish nigeria with what we know how to do best. Is southwest a place in nigeria?

na oil go kill una. make una no stay for una house, go about with ur tribal political nonsense. what would we loose if this ur criminal and artificial house seizes?

adeshlonge: What we are witnessing now is a bad omen that must be
arrested as quickly as possible. This is no time for Mr President to keep quiet anymore. Nigeria is drifting seriously. The elders must rise up now to douse this fire that is being kindle by this RIVER STATE crisis before it will become an inferno that will consume everything on it's way.
What lead to the civil war of 1967 to 1970 is at play again. For the governor of a state to be stoned in another state is a total aberration of the law of the land, not to talk of four states governors.
Who ever is behind this show of shame, has taken the game too far. MR PRESIDENT, DO EVERYTHING AT YOUR DISPOSAL CONSTITUTIONALLY TO SOLVE THIS BROUHAHA NOW. THE PREDICTION THAT SAY'S NIGERIA WILL NOT REMAIN A COUNTRY BY 2015 WILL NOT COME TO PAST, THAT IS IF OUR LEADER ACT NOW. Our youth should stop supporting any of the warring gladiators. instead they should unanimously ask for the end of the shame.

tHESE CRIMINALS NA OIL ALL OF UNA WANT ABI? CARY DEM DE GO

size38: In all of these, I pity d people of niger delta. After GEJ's time in office, that is when d people of niger delta realised that they were blinded and used by those who doesn't mean well. That is when d people of niger delta will know that GEJ didn't achieve anytin for them.

who send you. kakaaki

ilugunboy: Barbaric and un-civilized behavior..

if u come they will not only stone you but hey will beat u with maze

picaro: Who cares if he's eligible or not. The fact of the matter is, Gej should never be permitted to govern anything or any place ever again. His administrative skills, his choice of selection of his team, leaves so much more to be desired. Corruption index under his watch has reached an alarming height. What more can a nation dread, that has not been dumped on us under his administration? And worse still is the lack of honesty in admitting their failure, but quick to blame 'opponents and detractors' etc. From failing economy to terrorism to decay in infrastructure, to increased poverty and unemployment index, to...just name it. Something is terribly wrong with this country, and the leadership is that one root cause.

Sincerely, Nigeria cannot survive another 4 years under this man. So, that he is eligible in 2015 or not, is not the question. The question is, have Nigerians grown wiser in choosing a leader or not? Have we decided to let go of sentiments of tribe, religion or language, and consider to vote on merit for once? time will tell. As we all know, a Nation deserves its Government.




(PS: any insults hurled at me for the above comment from GEJ's online goons, doesn't change the fact of its truth, that GEJ is whatever he is described to be, 'clueless' and all the others)

This same group of traditional lawyers saw nothing good in Obasanjo, Y'adua. But they hail them and use former presidents as yardstick to measure the new one. Are we Jews who celebrated the Triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem in the morning and cried crucify Him in the evening. Let us learn to appreciat our leaders and pose incisive and objective arguements in the area we feel they are not doing better.
