I've been looking out for people with mild and loving attitude, for leadership, with everybody being quiet on their ambitions. And Nyesom being the only person made public, the question is, would u really vote this man if he contested?and why?

And why should they fear God, if God is love, can u love what u fear?

Their Biz.

THOUGH Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the
Independent Electoral Commission of Nigeria,
INEC, is yet to blow the whistle signaling the
commencement of the 2015 governorship
election in Rivers State, the political weight of the
various gubernatorial aspirants in the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, has indicated that the
race would not be bereft of damning surprises.
With the post-electioneering mood in the party,
on its way to becoming tensed following the
actions and inactions of some aspirants, many are
not in doubt that the eventual outcome of the
governorship primaries might make or mar the
party in the state.
Those who have indicated
interest to partake in the race
on the PDP platform include
Minister of State for
Education Nyesom Nwike,
Senator Lee Maeba, former
Commissioner on the Board
of the Rivers State
Independent Electoral
Commission, RSIEC, Mr.Nimi
Walson Jack and Chief Dumo
Lulu-Briggs.
Other names that have also
emerged are the Deputy Speaker of the Rivers
State House of Assembly, Mr. Leyii Kwanee, Mr.
Bekinbo Dagogo-Jack, Prince Tonye Princewill and
Mr. Emmanuel Georgewill.
Notable among the aspirants is Nwike whose rise
to political stardom has been described as
geometric.
While others interested in the position have not
been too visible in their strides towards occupying
the plum seat, Nwike’s ambition is an open secret.
Already, the Chairmen of the PDP in the 23 local
government areas in the state have endorsed
Nwike.
In a resolution signed by the 23 Chairmen, under
the platform of the Forum of PDP Local
Government Chairmen, Rivers State, the group,
however, said it recognized the constitutional
right of every qualified PDP member to contest
the governorship and other primary elections in
Rivers State.
They noted that special circumstances exists in
Rivers caused by the fact that the PDP is not in
power and if the party is to win the 2015 elections
and take over the Government House, Port
Harcourt, then the party must field the best and
most competent governorship candidate,
irrespective of where he hails from.
This move, which does not seem to have the
approval of most party chieftains, who worked for
the election of President Goodluck Jonathan, has
corroborated the perception that he has hijacked
the Chief Felix Obuah-led executive.
Also, the minister’s utterances lately, have not
helped him either, as analysts find some of the
statements in conflict with the collective goal of
the national leadership of the party towards
winning the election.
Wike had, while addressing newsmen recently at
his Port-Harcourt residence, said that all the
party’s governorship aspirants in the state put
together cannot defeat him in their various
wards.
He said: “I read a lot of things where people say it
is our turn to produce a governor. Assuming what
they are saying is correct, does is stop another
person from running? What it means is that you
should face the person in an election. That is the
important thing. Most of them who say it is zoned
to them, can they win in their local government
areas?
”I can tell you that if I declare to run today,
nobody, of all those that are clamouring that it is
their turn, will win me in their wards. So, if you
can’t win me in your ward, which person’s zone
do you want to use to win the election? For
example, in Ogoni where we have Tai, Khana,
Gokana and Eleme, those who want to run under
PDP, which of them can win me?
“Come to the riverine area, those who want to run
there, I hear one Rtd Major Anyanya, which one?
He won’t win me in his ward, if I want to run.
Come to Opobo, who wants to run? Come to
Bonny, who wants to run? Come to Akuku-Toru; I
read yesterday Bekinbo Dagogo-Jack says he
wants to run; Walson-Jack, Dumo Lulu-Briggs,
Tonye Princewill, one Emmanuel Georgewill;
which of them will beat me in their various wards
if I want to run?”
He further said: ‘’This is my game; I have been
chairman since 1999. There is nobody that I don’t
know in the various wards. You know that I
headed the campaign of Amaechi in 2011. Is there
any ward, any local government that I cannot call
the politicians in each of the wards? I am not
talking about the local governments, in each of
the wards”.
While the minister’s ambition is in line with his
constitutional rights, it is the opinion of observers
that being of the same Ikwere extraction with the
incumbent Governor Rotimi Amaechi might affect
the fortunes of the party ahead of the polls if he
gets the PDP ticket.
Those who hold this view are not ignorant of the
party’s statement that it had not zoned the
governorship to any senatorial district, but the
general clamour for power to shift to Ogoni land
has put question mark on his aspiration.
A party member who spoke on the condition of
anonymity said, “Wike’s desperate aspiration to
succeed Amaechi in 2015 has divided the PDP in
the state, forcing most chieftains and leading
lights of the party in the state, including Senator
Lee Maeba, Dr. former Minister of Transport, Dr.
Abiye Sekibo; former Deputy Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Prince Chibudom
Nwuche, and others to shun the activities of the
party.”

Pls, I want take this time advise my fellow Rivers State youths. Ona see these politicians way de make us fight, kill ourselves based on PDP and APC, I beg, ona don ask where their children dey? Make we use our heads, them don make their own money, make we try hustle our own. Becos if we die in the process, nobody know us, anybody u like, vote am when the time reach. These men come every 4 years, use our head, win, and change their phone numbers. When we de campaign, fight, cos problems, remember say their children de US, I beg ona. No party struggle worth our lives. If you no hear, you will DIE in Jesus Name....

stebell: τ̲̅ђe fear of τ̲̅ђe police is τ̲̅ђe beginning of wisdom for Amaechi and his group of thieves.

He knows he has perform below average with τ̲̅ђe funds Rivers State had. So he wnts ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ go around putting τ̲̅ђe blame of underdevelopment on τ̲̅ђe FG.

Jus so yu kno. Amaechi received far more in 4yrs wat Odili didn't receive in 8yrs.

Amaechi is a thief.

Did he also do more works than odili in 8years?

Nctrice: he is going on a tour in every ward in the state, his commissioner said he is doing stock taking in every ward... So are they telling us that Gov. Amaechi carried out one or two project in all the wards in the state...? Rubbish! If he wants to campaign for APC let him wait till the appropriate time instead of deceiving himself.

Real sentimental crap...

PDP made the greatest mistake loosing out Amaechi. All these GDI people, once Nyesom Wike just get kicked out of the governorship walka, ona go chill. I don't knw abt Federal, bt Amaechi holds Rivers to ransom. APC....

I've always wondered, even rats cockroach, they run when they perceive death. Fowl de shout scatter when him see knife for him neck.

I know for humans, may be becos we knw not where we're going, or Hellfire, as they say, but please can sm1 explain that of animals to me too, will they also be judged? If not, when them de fear death ni?

Rubbish, you will soon make Tukar Vice-president.

Scholarship @ NIIT doesn't mean u won't pay any fee there. The only difference is if your to do a course on Java, and it cost N400k, because of your scholarship, you'll be paying N320k. No be say u free scholarship. Its just a marketing strategy. Everybody passes the exams.

It doesn't affect the rich men here, they find there way in and out... Na poor man go suffer...

remsonik: Thunder fire ameachi over and over again. A 3km monorail constructed with 50 billion naira of tax payers money.
Mtcheeewww

When last did u pay ur tax?

Am also a virgin, girls are the ones sleeping with me, I've never slept with any1 of them..

alexleo: Yea hell fire/lake of fire is real. God is a creator and he created man because he wanted to create man. There's nothing you can do about it than to embrace the salvation which he has made available to whosoever will. Its just like electric current, if you make good use of it you enjoy your appliances but if you are careless with it then it can blow up your appliances, it can also shock you to death. All depends on your choice.



If you embrace his salvation, when you get to heaven you ll be higher than the angels and you ll sing Hossanna. It all depends on your choice now. Do not reject his salvation. May God help you. Amen.

I don't want to be greater than the angels.. Better not created like Solomon said, the Devil and God has issues, even before they created us. Instead of imprisoning the devil, he was even sent to earth to come and jollof with us, e good?

So if the hell is real, why create us as humans? Why not make us angels so we all can sing the "Hossanna" than this gamble called life.

President
Goodluck
Jonathan
on
Wednesday forwarded a letter to the National
Assembly, asking the lawmakers to urgently
approve a $1bn external loan for the Federal
Government to confront the terrorist Islamic sect,
Boko Haram.
The letter dated July 15, 2014, was read on the
floor of the Senate and that of the House of
Representatives on Wednesday, by the Senate
President David Mark and Speaker Aminu
Tambuwal respectively.
In the letter, Jonathan explained that the external
loan was urgently needed to upgrade the
equipment, training and logistics of the Armed
Forces and security services in order to enable
them to confront the insurgents more forcefully.
The letter titled, “Tackling Ongoing Security
Challenges: Need for Urgent Action”, read in part,
“You are no doubt cognisant of the ongoing and
serious security challenges which the nation
is facing , as typified by the Boko Haram terrorist
threat. This is an issue that we have discussed at
various times.
“I would like to bring to your attention the urgent
need to upgrade the equipment, training and
logistics of our Armed Forces and Security
Services to enable them more forcefully to
confront this serious threat.
“For this reason, I seek the concurrence of the
National Assembly for external borrowing of not
more than $1bn, including government to
government arrangements for this upgrade.”
The National Assembly had in the N4.6tn 2014
Budget provisions, appropriated N968.127bn for
Defence on account of the Boko Haram
insurgency.
The request may be considered today (Thursday)
on account of its urgency because both chambers
of the National Assembly may embark on their
annual long recess today till the end of
September 2014.
Also, speaking at the inauguration of the
Theophilus Danjuma-led Victims Support Fund
Committee, the President said he promised
Nigerians that the government would be
victorious in the war against insurgency.
“We owe Nigerians nothing but victory over
terror. The life of every Nigerian is precious and
we will continue to work round the clock to put an
end to this insurgency,” Jonathan said.

Thanks, but I'll like to know, since every1 is eligible to vote, and be voted for, wills zoning make me vote for who I don't like? And aslo, is it constitutional?

True talk, I even wonder why they were not #1. Greedy girls, for europe, u fit buy girl coke, then start, but here, A plate of fried rice and chicken, Hollandia and some take-away, yet she still think abt it.... Rubbish

Please my dear NL, I've always heard people, especially in Rivers State clamour for their turn to be Governor. Mostly the Ogonis, they solemly feel its their turn, do others sit and watch ur region win? Please I want to know, if zoning should be, then why do we vote? Should I vote a corrupt man because it is the time to zone? Election or Selection?

Just be becos you believe Christ does not mean other beliefs are invalid. So does every other religion do. Even while believing the Christ, Christians are divided against themselves, having Charismatic, catholic, Pentecostal, anglican, Jehovah witness, each of which believe the others are wasting their time. Reincarnation exist like Mad. Elijah, the blind man, John the Baptist, Esau, and many other prophets. Even Jesus said "if you leave your wife, and belonging to follow him, he will give u more in the life to come. Them de marry for heaven. And if you were to come this life just once and then pass screening for heaven and he'll like u believe, would u not rather be born rich?

Go to churches and see how many ladies are seeking for husbands...

Okay dear that's true, bt u knw these days a lot of 'em keep waiting for Mr right with a ready-made life, In Canada a very wealthy girl in my school, Ontaria, married a Nigerian, at her wedding, she. Said "I love him, I believe he'll succeed, I want to be part of his success", u can imagine her reasoning... how could this be?
