They want to kill Enugu people with light.

Mandela's case was a very unique one, we all know his story.
The rest are dictators who aren't doing their nations or people any good.

This is 2015 Nwanne, tone down on bigoted, tribalistic and hateful comments. It's not gonna do us any good.
#justSaying

Who cares if it is 3015? I would like to see you preaching to the other guys when they write drivel about Igbos as can be seen on many threads on front page today.

Is high time youths of this country grew up. All that he said about chimaroke at time were true. That he rigged himself into power in 2003 does amount to a mistake by Mbaka. The fact remains that we have unenlightened followers and voters in Nigeria who to a large extent do not understand the system of governance. Take for instance the fear that GMB will islamise nigeria and you begin to wonder the possibility. OBJ couldn't achieve 3rd term much less anybody islamising nigeria. By ethnicity and religion, i should support GEJ but, to me he has demonstrated lack of will to stamp corruption not to talk of people that die on daily basis. Even if he is not responsible for those, He should allow another to try.

The issue isn't whether Buhari has the power to Islamize Nigeria, but whether he has the will.
By his words and actions, he has proven that he has the will to do just that.
Now, if you believe that Buhari by his own sheer will can stamp out corruption without the help of the corrupt legislature, corrupt governors and even his corrupt party members, then you shouldn't blame those who believe he can islamize Nigeria on his own.
Where there is a will, there is a way.

But you were applauding your brothers when they were saying trash about Igbos on the other thread abi?
I am sure you even jumped on this thread hoping to see an Igbo name.
Idîot.

When it comes to kidnapping, Yorubas are only second to boko haram.

They sell human heads, sell huch backs, kill and rob on the highways, and even rape children just for money.
Very bad.

This was not the case under APC's Obasanjo.
We would have been hearing of political assasinations left, right and center by now.

@OP our amiable President has completely eliminated politics of assasination and bitterness from this country. That is another great achievement of his administration.
Osinbajo has nothing to fear.

Jeezuzpick:
You posted a pic of peeps walking towards a train in Port Harcourt.

That's all I saw. I expressed my doubt and you asked me to go lie in front of a train.

It's that simple.

Is there any other way to clear you doubt?

Jeezuzpick:
Read your own answer to my post and judge yourself.

Take it easy.

I said if you still have doubts about Railway operations from Enugu to PH after all the proofs that have been provide, go and lie down on the rail track the whole day and see if you come back alive.
It is that simple.

Jeezuzpick:
Picture of their tickets saying "PH to Enugu" and I might still doubt it.

Hehehe

Then you should go and lie on the rail line from Enugu to PH for the whole day.
I am sure your doubt will be cleared in hell.

From Port harcourt, they are heading to Enugu with brief stops at Aba and Umuahia.
No train operations in the east they said.

LRNZH:

Three times a day?

Wow I am familiar with railways operations in Nigeria.
These times a day is impossible.

Please Stop!

You are familiar with railway operations but you believed the ghost group wheny the said no trains are operating in the east, why should I take you seriously?
Swerve please.

They held the meeting in Enugu, yet the don't know that a train plies Enugu - Umuahia - Aba - Ph route 3 times a day?
Fake group.

ISpiksDaTroof:
You guys will blame every and anything when you can't explain your folly. No surprises there.

How is a blog owned by one druggie and named ''northwood ministries'' a Canadian christian organisation?
Seeing the headline, one would have expected to read detailed explanation of how exactly GEJ benefits from boko haram, but what is there is a disjointed drivel from and obvious drug addict.
You are just angry that you dishonest has been exposed from the beginning.

Senseless, empty and unprofessional trash.
Probably written by the OP himself.
Northwood my arsè.
This is a personal blog and not a christian group

Mortiple:
They failed to realize that we joined that organization in error. Nigeria is a multi-religious State.

So what are they going to do next? Expel us?

Let them expel us.
Infact Nigeria should have even voted no.
@ basisop please change the title to ''OIC blasts Nigeria...''.

londoner:
Lol, how is it now the job of INEC to go and physically look for Buhari's certificate for him?

Come on, INEC should not be so involved in this so that it looks like they are just a tool of the gov. to witchhunt opposition candidates.

It is up to Buhari to obtain the certificates, which he declared he has. It is between him an the military that he claims has them. If he can not supply them, then he does not qualify to stand. The process is then between the party that put him forward as their candidate to retract him and offer/submit their alternative candidate to INEC.

Now that he is not doing that and his party will never withdraw him, what happens?
Anyway, it is left for concerned citizens or other parties to file a lawsuit and get the situation resolved.

Eziachi:
Intelligent person sticks to what he read and not what wished you could have read or what you hope to read.
The journalist asked INEC question about rumours circulating about Buhari certificate and INEC responded by saying that there was no issues arising and if there is, that is the problem of APC or any interested party because their job is not to disqualify candidates.
Their response is probably based on the precedent set by the supreme court judgement over AtAtiku in 2007.
After reading all these, you kept going about INEC disqualifying someone. That's called being thick. I doesn't matter who you support, that should not blackened your sense of reasoning. I don't you what your age got to do with it.

Unless your are beginning to develop eye problems - which is very possible, the comment you initially quoted clearly mentioned APC and not INEC. Buhari submitted an affidavit and not his certificate, that is a fact. It is the job of his party and not INEC to disqualify him, that is another fact I admitted to in that comment.
Now as an intelligent person you want us to believe you are, you could have told us the possible circumstances that could have led to Buhari's certificate being locked up somewhere with the military board, something many people including me doubt. Rather you started with an insult and then went on to rave about PDP distraction, opposition merger, Amaechi and all sorts of rubbish that aren't releveant to the discussion.
How is it PDP propaganda that journalist went to INEC's office and saw an afiidavit next to Buhaei's name instead of his certificate and was the case with Jonathan. When something similar but more understandable was reported about Sambo, did you call it propaganda too?
Go back to the earlier comment and read how I and the other guy had a discussion free of insults and rancour before you came up.
I think if anyone has proven to be thick here, it is you.

aumeehn:
good
let dem keep on supporting jonaTAN

So you bomb them for supporting Jonathan?

Buhari's boys have taking this their new year fireworks too far.
So sad.
ECWA is one church I respect so much, you will find them even in the most remote and muslim dominated parts of the north preaching the gospel. Even if theire is just one christian in the village, ECWA will be there for him to worship.
They are quite unlike all these profit-oriented churches littered around.

Eziachi:
Are you thick or what?
You heard INEC telling you that the issue of Buhari certification is news to them because there was no issues in the first place and nothing to talk about although they would not discuss specifics even If such scenario existed.
You don't need to be a genius to know that PDP created this story because they seemed to be running out of ideas on character assassination of their opponent and their new ideas was to create a distraction with this
They said their opposition merger won't last after six months. It did last.
They said after primaries, APC would collapse. It didn't, rather better organized and peaceful than PDP.
They prayed for Amaechi vice presidency in order to say we told you he is driven by ambition.

They prayed for a joint muslim tickets so that religion will become the issue. They got, not only Christendom but a funky pastor.

They complained that taking time to make decisions for vp position is a signal that something was wrong. A silly joke.
Non of the above happened, now they pray for the opponents disqualification by planting fake stories.

Respect your old age and refrain from insults because next time you will get it in full measure.
Since you know better than the journalists who went to INEC office to see things for themselves, can you tell us categorically that Buhari's certificate has been submitted?
The INEC official while refusing to mention names, clearly stated that it is the duty of the party to validate whatever documents their candidate presents.
Saying that it isn't INEC role to disqualify candidate and that no one has officially challenged them doesn't mean that there are no issues.

barcanista:
Well the constitution is not flawed. As citizen, you have the right to verify whether or not the certificates are with the Military. If they are not, you can institute legal action against Buhari for his disqualification and compel the AGF to prosecute him for lying under oath. Anyway, how sure are you that the APC have not verified? Should they come to the media? I don't think we should boil over this when we know the right thing to do

Expect plenty lawsuits soonest.
I don't think APC verified anything, they would have at least returned with a photocopy.
There is something seriously fishy about the whole story, it isn't normal.

crownprince102:
[s]Total package of nonsense!!! He contested 3 times and you didn't ask for his certificate, that means you are incapable. Because he has high probability of winning, you start coming out with all this rubbish propaganda, PDP has actually lost it, I thought opposition should be the one doing this in order to win. PDP should be more than confident if truly done the right thing for the past 16 years. Na only Buhari waka come, wat of the other 8 candidate? Chai! Chai!! Chai!!! Dia riz Godu ooooo[/s]

The fact that he managed to get away with illegality thrice doesn't mean that he should be allowed the fourth time.

barcanista:
That is not their job na, have you heard that INEC have power to disqualify? In 2007 between Atiku Vs INEC and Ors, the court ruled that INEC have no power to disqualify any candidate for election. In fact, 2007 Kogi Guber election was nullified by the court because INEC had disqualified Prince Abubakar Audu of ANPP. The election was held in 2012. So what is the point sir? Should INEC do something that is unconstitutional?

Then APC should act like the progressives they claim to be and get Buhari's certificate from wherever they are or simply disqualify him for not meeting the requirements.
The constitution is seriously flawed

barcanista:
OP please what is your point? You want INEC to be partisan like DSS or what?

They should do their job, walk down to the Military HQ to look for Buhari's certificate and disqualify him if they can't find it.
You could see fear (of Buhari's boys) written all over the INEC official's words, something is wrong.

This is cowardice if you ask me.
How long shall we continue to condole illegality in this country?

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that it is the job of political parties to verify credentials submitted by their candidates. The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, stated this in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday. Idowu was asked whether it was INEC that should verify credentials, which the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), claimed was with the Secretary to the Military Board. In the documents he submitted to INEC, Buhari had said that his certificates were with the board. But in the interview with journalists, Idowu stated, “I won’t speak on individual. I can only speak in general term. No, I won’t comment on individual candidate on this issue. You can’t quote me on that. “When parties file their nominees, the law requires that INEC should display those nominees for claims and objections. If objections are made to those claims, the commissions revert back to the political parties because the statutory mandate is on the parties to nominate their candidates and not to allow INEC to choose their candidates for them. “INEC would have to revert back to the political parties to say ‘there is a challenge to the credentials that you have filed to the criteria that you have cited
for any particular nominee, so do the needful by addressing it, either by verifying it and see whether it is true or by showing that it is not true and sort it out.’ “It is their job; they sort it out before they bring their nominees to the commission. So, the commission has no role in disqualifying candidates.” He was also asked what the commission would do if a person did not submit credentials as required by law. He stated, “I don’t see any basis of that objection. It is not only in INEC, everywhere, sometimes, you submit affidavit. It is not new, you can submit affidavit, attestation in place of the original certificate. If there is a challenge to what the commission has, the commission reverts back to the party because the commission does not even have the capacity to reject candidates. For now, I am not aware of any issue you are raising now that the commission will revert back to the party.” The following chat ensued between Idowu and newsmen.
[bJournalists:[/b] Now that there is a challenge in Buhari’s candidacy in respect of his failure to submit academic qualifications, will the commission revert back to the party?
Idowu: Which challenge? Are you the one challenging?
Journalists: What if the issue comes up?
Idowu: Wait until then, don’t throw up any issue that has not come up. The issue has not arisen.
Journalists: Which certificate did he present in the previous elections that he contested? He contested in 2003, 2007 and 2011 presidential elections, did he present certificates in those elections?
[b]Idowu: I have said it that I can’t respond to individual candidate’s issue here. You people are trying to drag INEC to a needless issue. I don’t want to discuss individuals.
Journalists: Does INEC have the mandate of screening candidates for elections?
Idowu: INEC does not screen candidates because INEC does not reject candidates. INEC, in seeing what parties have submitted, display it for claims and objections, if there are objections, it takes it up with the parties.

At least it wasn't $1 to 196 Naira under Buhari's watch.
