Ekans: .Dumb' you call me?.that is really funny.I wonder if you digested my post well?.If igbos tend to dislike buhari based on ethnicity, I wonder what makes GEJ an Ijaw so special?.Well, calling a fool a fool will never be part of me.
Dumb is an understatement when it comes to describing you. Is Yaradua not of the same ethnic group with Buhari? Didn't Igbos support him? What about Atiku who has some level of support in the east, is he not Fulani? You are useless for complaining of ethnic hate in one sentence and canvassing for ethnic hate in another. You are a big fool.
CaptainAmerica1: The north has not been voting northern candidates solely. Remember they voted OBJ. Remember a substantial amount voted GEJ in 2011
In 1999 there was no northern candidate, only OBJ and Falae. In 2003, they voted Buhari en masse, in 2007 they voted Buhari and Yaradua, both northerners, in 2011 they voted Buhari en masse again, yet you Yorubas accuse Igbos of only voting their son when the fact on ground proves opposite. Just recently while endorsing buhari, Northern elders forum said they endorse him in line with their policy of supporting only northern candidates, which means that even if Shekau comes out for elections they will endorse him over any non-northerner.

Ekans: I weep for my igbo brothers.They have been sucked in by ethnic and religious hate to see that GEJ has nothing to offer them.I wonder when Ijaws became our brothers.The civil war and how it was lost should come to mind.He who has ears should hear.
In one second you are complaining about ethnic hate in the next second, you are canvassing for the hate of Ijaws. You guys are irredemably dumb, you can't even understand your own posts.
CaptainAmerica1: Instead of voting out Jonathan so you can get an Ibo president early you won't hear. You want to vote your son.
Goodluck Azikwe Jonathan has deceived you unfortunately.
If other tribes are voting for their son like the Igbos are known for, SE will never produce a president.
Igbos are not known for voting for their son, GEJ is not Igbo. Igbos voted for Obj, Yaradua and GEJ even when Igbos like Ojukwu contested against them. On the other hand, the north has been voting for northern candidates only since 1999 but none of you hypocritical Yorubas is talking about them not producing a President. A President coming from your region doesn't turn everyone in your region to dangote overnight so talk about something else.
LoveDecay: You don't get it do you. Its the aid money that are targeting . how much do eastern states contribute to the federation account. Bunch of .... No idea on how to run a country. Reminds me of Congo when the belgeans left.
Effing sorry state till today but the foreign aid still flows like no tommorow.
Ukwa West LGA in Abia state alone contributes more to the federation account than all 19 states of the north put together.
The Igbos are known to be very smart, industrious and intelligent. It is therefore unbelievable to see this same set of people always found wanting when it comes to playing high-tech politics of Nigeria. Personally I see it as an indication of a people who do not trust one another.
Apart from political appointments which at best benefit the appointees, there is very little the Igbos have gained from Jonathan presidency especially in the are of infrastructural development.
At the rate the political game of Nigeria is being played, the Igbos may not be able to produce a president till 2027 at the earliest (and that is if GEJ succeeds in rigging his way in this 2015 election) because most likely the North will produce a president from 2019 till 2027. They had the opportunity to speak in one voice and align with APC during the merger of the main opposition parties and negotiate for the VP slot so that they'll have a chance immediately after GMB's presidency but their naivety beclouded their judgment.
It is even possible that the Igbos will not produce a president in another 50 years if they play their politics of bitterness forgetting that you need alliance and sacrifices to win elections. This is what Okorocha understands and it is what the many other Igbo leaders fail to understand.
Are all the tribes that have produced the President better off? Look for something sensible to threaten Igbos with.
amakenny: Watched Rochas Okorocha campaign for reelection recently, it said he built: "Freedom Square, Hero’s Square, Bongo Square," - they are like Stadiums and in Owerri which already has Dan Anyiam Stadium.
But Okorocha partially destroyed the Orlu Sam Okwaraji Stadium which is the only stadium outside Owerri in Imo state. The stadium is left in ruins for the last four years.
Is Okorocha normal?
Millionaireman You can canvass for more projects in Orlu without making it look like you are in some sort of rivalry with Owerri. There is enough money for Okorocha to site projects in every nook and cranny of Imo state if he is serious.
chiwetaluAGU: [s][/s] APC always displaying scalar traits. Channeling illusional momentum towards no particular direction. What position is Peter Obi contesting for again?
The 'documentary' is centered around Peter Obi's defection to APGA despite his pledge never to leave APGA. They are showing series of occasion where Obi promised to remain in APGA till death including where he swore in the presence of Ojukwu.
I thought Buhari's campaign was being sponsored by people's donation, or is that a decoy? Where did Amaechi get the money he is using to sponsor Buhari from? Buhari will fight corruption indeed!
What a shameless old man! After forcibly removing Shagari together with some of Nigeria's best performing governors ever from power, what did he achieve with the power? Absolutely nothing!
The military is now pummeling Boko haram and these so called elders have popped up again. Do you know the next story that will come out after their evil tour? Stories of human rights violation, genocide and threats to drag the COAS and President to the International Criminal Court. This was what they did (in conjuction with Buhari) to slow down Ihejirika and allow boko haram to regroup after the initial pounding from the army. The want to start again. All for one purpose........to grab power! I only feel for the people of the North who can't see that these elders and politicians will love boko haram to last as long as they need it to get power, no matter how many ordinary lives they consume. Yet, those same people whose lives they don't value, support them. What a mentality!
olatunji21: They accuse me of everything but they can Never accuse me of CORRUPTION.. General Muhammadu Buhari
There are other things worse than corruption, e.g. indiscriminate murder and circumvention of the people's will through coup. Certificate forgery, perjury and nepotism are forms of corruption and Buhari isn't exactly free of those.
Can we now get the total personnel costs of APC state governments and compare? Starting from Fashola's Lagos. It is very easy to criticize from the other side. I remember asking someone complaing of Federal feeding budget to tell me what Lagos state's feeding budget is and he went dumb.
The truth is, these things cannot change until we stop being one-sided and hypocritical, turning a blind eye when it invloves the person/party you support or even trying to justify it.
An efficient staff performs satisfactorily and meets set individual targets using minimal resources and time. An effective staff simply meets his personal targets and perfoms satisfactorily

Later he changed it to N7m and the money was paid.
He personally went to the bank to cash the money with Keke Marwa and asked the Keke Marwa to wait outside the bank at UBA Opara Avenue,Enugu He was caught and after the keke Marwa driver waited for a while as he was promised and decided to go into the bank and he was also caught by the police.
The Enugu police command who got wind of the incident stormed the bank while Mr Mishal was about to cash to the money and got him arrested. On interrogation, he confessed hatching the plan because he has some pressing needs he want to sort out with the money.. The Nigerian police and Immigration are now working on getting him deported back to India..
When CKN Nigeria contacted the police Spokesman in Enugu, he was not readily available.
Rad1cal: What are you up to ? you failed to understand the import of my message, contructing roads is not a straight line graph, you will have to bypass certain obstacles which will increase the overall distance unlike using a flight route which is rather straight.
You are not so smart to also believe that Fashola has constructed more roads surpassing the distance between Lagos to Abuja.
In addition, one route can have several roads leading to it.
