^^hi there, sweetums.

aguiyi:
you seriously need a brain transplant

Gbawe:
Indeed. Most do not appreciate  , because of poor political sophistication, that there is a lot of "lost in translation" interpretation over what men like Tinubu and Ngige do and say. Ultimately , the end justifies the means . Tinubu is justified today . I think we will see , in future, that Ngige has the personality , exposure and  germane outlook , pertinent to National politics, to shape SE political ideology positively .

zstranger:
^^^

At least, we agree that the PDP was not founded by incompetent Ndigbo.

zstranger:
You are a mo/r/on

Pray tell, who founded PDP?

Mention the illustrious Igbo man, good enough, and capable enough to found a credible well organized national party?

FYI, PDP was founded mostly by the Northerners. The manifesto was written 'SOLELY' by an illustrious Yoruba son. The biggest financier of PDP are northerners. Just because they make you PDP chairman at one time or the other in no way make PDP an Igbo party. If at all anything, it is an Hausa party.

What a m/o/r/o/n.

The only igbo parties that are doing fairly well are PPA and APGA, which are nothing more than secondary school asscociations

tyrant11:
are u sure about that. why dont u go and ask the hausas wheter they won , why dont you go and ask the ijaws in ondo wheter the won.


is it not silly igbos that ordinary small hausa boy dey turn into suya meat for north . why dont u fight there.

but okay. make we see what will happen. when war breaks out again. if u think u can take over lagos, we go see who is bigger and stronger, hausa or yoruba man.

tyrant11:
the same way opc ran away from hausa or ijaws right.

Thought Ijaws mean what they say,no?

[size=13pt]‘ACN’ll not turn down ministerial offer from Jonathan' [/size] Written by Sam Nwaoko, Ado-Ekiti

Wednesday, 04 May 2011




THE chairman of Ekiti State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Chief Olajide Awe, has said the party will not turn down President Goodluck Jona-than if he calls for ministerial nominees from the party for the new Federal Executive Council (FEC).

The Ekiti ACN boss said any such request from the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would be considered in the spirit of government of national unity.

Chief Awe also advised the presidential candidate of the party at the last general election, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, not to defect to Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), following his defeat in the presidential election, especially in the South-West.

Addressing newsmen during a “thank you” rally held in Ado-Ekiti, on Monday, Chief Awe said President Jonathan had endeared himself into the hearts of all Nigerians, by giving Professor Attahiru Jega and his team in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the wherewithal to conduct free, fair and credible elections.

“I know the leadership of ACN cannot fraternise with the PDP because the party is devilish.

“But the personality of President Jonathan is different. He is humble, humane and trustworthy, having allowed INEC to conduct free and fair elections.

“So, our party may decide to appoint ministerial nominees to serve in his government if the president requests for it,” he said.

He, however, said those who would be considered for appointments would not suffer a fate similar to that of the late Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, who was murdered while serving as minister and, at the same time, leader of the Alliance for Democracy (AD) which was in control of the South-West.

If a river port is what will make you happy, so be it. Me, I'd have tried to build a deep seaport (kinda like this Olokola seaport that I'm told is now stalling.) But whatever makes you happy.

ekt_bear:
The poverty rate stuff is probably because so many people leave. Like, large scale immigration from Mexico to the US has likely poverty rates there. . .those guys leaving would otherwise be doing nothing productive.

I dunno. The four most important states economically important states in Yorubaland (Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo) are under competent management for at least the next four years. So if they do things properly, we'll be able to reduce the gap economically between us and the SS. . . all w/o this additional oil derivation.

Anyway, we shall see.

Ileke-IdI:
I'll talk to EzeUche about that. okay?

Ileke-IdI:
Funny. . . .not!
roll eyez.

ekt_bear:
@Chyz*: Fair enough. . . differences in philosophy, I guess. For me, growing a large GDP is more important for third world nations. Focus on reducing inequality afterwards.

But yeah, economically, in no way is the SE ahead.

Eko Ile:
Too comical to even waste my time on. Like I said, Ogun state alone is economically superior than the East of the Niger combined.

ekt_bear:
SW vs SE economically? SW minus Lagos has a higher GDP than the SE, if one believes the data from this Canback database. Add Lagos on top and the difference becomes overwhelming.

Ileke-IdI:
This is not about getting sentimental. I like everybody but this is politics, feelings dont marra.

Oya, rip my post apart {And I'm kinda bored right}

Eko Ile:
Is Lagos not part of the SW? And what part of the SW are you ahead of?

There more industries in Ogun state alone than the East of the Niger combined.

The west is ahead of you economically, financially, politically, culturally and so on and on,  You are free to prove me wrong and I'll be here to deal with your response.

Your SA reference was kind of ignorant simply because SA is not Nigeria and I hope you know the history of SA.

alj_harem:
no no no

[s]everyone in the country have always envy the ndigbo because of there strength and determination[/s]

uche namesake, no fall my hand now o

now the SS ans SE are uniting, it is time for us to rule

Ileke-IdI:
The only ACN GOv that has had chance to prove anything is Fashola. We shall see which part is MORE corrupt.

As of right now, you have no grounds. ACN is lead by Tinubu, um so? Better that than have a PDP SW region. Did Tinubu control Fashola? Is Fashola corrupt?

All this is the healthy fear of Tinubu and a new beginning for SW region.

I'd be more worried about the SW rejects (Oyinlola, OBJ etc)  rumored to be surrounding GEJ.

Hate it or love it, ACN is moving into the SS/SE, baby  

Eko Ile:
Olodo ni e. That's the difference between the South West and the rest of Nigeria, we have the strength and decency to pick the bad eggs within our community and kick them out without blood shed or any kind of acrimony, the losers even quickly accepted their defeat and moved on.

We are not like you mumu people over there in the East and SS recycling crooks, convicts  and criminals to keep screwing you up. Election don come and go, but you backward

Though OBJ is not a criminal or a convict like many in your clan, but we made him irrelevant and inconsequential with our votes.


Don't get it twisted, unlike you and your people, we know right from wrong. You people have many many more decades of communal and political tutelage before you crawl out out the wilderness.

Saying the SW is way way superior and fae ahead of the rest of Nigeria is an understatement and we've been proving this since day one.

When the West was scoring many 1st in Africa in terms of infrastructural development, you and your leaders were clueless and absent.


Abeg know your place and pay your role,

EzeUche_:
Who do you think is going to win?

Igbos vs. Yorubas is an equal fight

Igbos, Isoko, Urhobo, Ijaws, Ogoni, Ibibios, Ekoi vs. Yorubas is an unequal fight.  

aloy/emeka:
talk is cheap

Ileke-IdI:
Excuse me? lol what a girl.

Anywaz, the same corrupt people we've weeded out?

GEJ is the one still surrounding himself with SW rejects like OBJ, Iyabo, Oyinlola etc. Abeg, whatever they do, dont blame the SW. Blame your president.

Eko Ile:
What do we need SS and SE or what ever the freeking alphabets they call themselves for sef? SS is full of crooked and corrupt people, convicts and international fugitives, GEJ from the same place was an accessory and enabler because he participated or looked the other way while his boss looted his state dry and SS, they are already on the ground and there is no need to kick weak and beaten folks while gasping for breath on the ground,



Y'all are dismissed for now,
