Don't you think that was doctored to soothe our frayed nerves?

OAM4J:
What about supporting Pat Utomi, or is he not Igbo enough?

or if you can get Ngozi Iweala to contest, I will relocate back to naija temporarily to campaign and vote for her.

Onlytruth:
I think Utomi might be it!

MaziUche0:
Pat Utomi of course. We should support the man.

Onlytruth:
I'm beginning to think that it may be best for Ndigbo to adopt a single Igboman and vote only for him next year.

I'm losing trust in all those lining up for the presidency next year.

We can at least use the opportunity to show our numerical strength in Nigeria.

Onlytruth:
I remember that even Ojukwu who is not that popular in Nigeria came second to Obasanjo in the presidential elections, even though the election was rigged. That should tell us something.

Now imagine what would happen if we decide to fight for our votes.

Nchara:
What makes Aganga and Babalola (or any other of those politicians/appointees) truthful? We ascribe too much to them. Gullible Nigerians. I am sure some of them are already helping themselves to our collective heritage. Na 2 day?

[size=14pt]Jonathan to reshuffle cabinet next week [/size]

The plot of the nation's political drama thickens as President Goodluck Jonathan plans to reshuffle his cabinet next week, said sources privy to the decision.

As politicians in the last few weeks focused on zoning and its attendant problems or benefits, Mr. Jonathan, who political watchers say never ceases to surprise, was doggedly entrenching his hold on the nation's polity.

A few days back, he forwarded the names of three nominees to the Senate for approval as new ministers. It was not immediately clear, however, who the new people will replace. The Senate has acknowledged the receipt of the nominees and decided to reconvene Tuesday next week to screen, and possibly confirm them.

Although the Senate would not reveal the identities of the nominees, it was confirmed that the candidates, two men, and a woman, are from Yobe, Delta, and Borno states. A source further confirmed that one of them is a member of an opposition party, the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP).

Curiously, Mr. Jonathan's action is coming nine months to the end of his administration and he still refuses to confirm if he will be contesting in next year's presidential election or not. Former president Olusegun Obasanjo also effected such a cabinet reshuffle towards the end of his second term in 2006 when he re-assigned Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala from ministry of finance to foreign affairs.

The usual suspects

Sources confirmed that the proposed changes will most likely affect the finance minister, Olusegun Aganga and the minister of state for finance, Remi Babalola. It was unclear if Mr Babalola's statement last month that the state oil company, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was broke led to his been considered for possible removal. Mr. Babalola had told a group of journalists during a workshop on "Understanding the operations of the Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria" organised by the NNPC for members of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), that the only reason the corporation has not paid the ₦450 billion debt owed to the federal government was "its cash flow problem." He reportedly lost favour with Mr. Jonathan after that statement.

At the federal executive council meeting that took place after Mr. Babalola's comment, the council denied, through Dora Akunyili, the Information minister, that NNPC was insolvent.

"NNPC, from the auditor's account, is a going concern, and does not have solvency issue as a corporation. Therefore, categorically, NNPC is not insolvent," Mrs. Akunyili said.

She added that there will always be an outstanding balance between the federal government and the oil giant because of the regular transactions between them.

One of the nominees is supposed to fill the vacancy in the power ministry which had no substantive minister, apart from the junior minister. The others are expected to fill the junior minister positions in the petroleum and foreign affairs ministries.

Although the cabinet reshuffle was not mentioned during the briefing that followed the federal executive council meeting yesterday, the Presidency is said to be awaiting the senate's endorsement of the nominees whose names are currently en route to the national assembly.

Horus:
Politicians and leaders guilty of economic crimes such as corruption or kleptocracy should be punished by receiving the death sentence. The Nigerian government should empower our courts and the anti-graft agencies by introducing death penalty in our laws as soon as possible to punish hardened criminals looting our resources.

EzeUche22:
Why must they steal everything? They want our oil, they want our money and they want our women. Anything that deals with Igbo, they want.

sjeezy8:

imma tell the truth- all the naija chicks ive dated were half yoruba with yoruba fathers, the rest of the babes I fukd are mostly igbo from anambra and delta states.

imo and abia hell no hairy face and chest.

ok . . . yoruba women Vary GREATLY and none are the same- but as a yoruba guy why would I fuk my babes when I can fuk yours? HAHAHAHA

EzeUche22:
sjeezy8,

And all the Igbo men running around. You think we are dying off? Don't make me laugh. ALL Nigerian women come to an Igbo man, because they know we take care of our families.[b] Unlike you Yoruba men who do not give dammn about your spouses.
[/b]
Igbo men are real men who take care of their children. Not you effeminate Yoruba men who can be compared to girls. Just saying. . .

Igbo women will not date any man. The ego has to be a lot to get with an Igbo woman. If you are from another tribe and don't have money, than you will never get with an Igbo woman. They have expensive taste to be dating some poor Yoruba (and there are many) when they can date their own men.

sjeezy8:
Weting conern me and yoruba women both my grandmothers arent yoruba anyway-

lol- why would I be mad cause when I impregnate an igbo babe like everyone in naija does- the children will claim my tribe anyway.
your days are numbered.
