Then whats in the alliance for the ACN (When the SW is their strongest base).

How do you convince SWesterners to vote for outsiders. What does that type of ticket hold for ACN

CPC produce Buhari, the VP must be from the ACN to make this work

And the GAYYners thread have been kept alive by lamentation and gnashing of teeth on their perpetual barrenness a.k.a Trophylessness

Do you know Kloses scoring record for Bayern in the last 2 yrs?

Tunde bakara, Donald Duke, Okonjo Iweala and Utomi are not in the ACN so how can thsi work?

[quote author=na_so link=topic=589439.msg7569792#msg7569792 date=1295533924]Make we dey watch na.

Buhari is more popular in NW and NE. NC is 50-50% infact GEJ has an edge here. But in the entire south , with or without ACN , GEJ is far ahead of buhari.

Besides , is the merger for presidential election alone? if not, how will ACN manage telling their voters to vote CPC for one election and ACN for another?

we still dey watch and laugh too .[/quote]The same way the AD/ANPP allinace worked in 1999 Where Falae/Shinkafi ran under the ANPP but the AD still won all SW states and APP won the North West

Kilode,

You have to consider our society before we decide whats best for us.

Like Akande said, In the UK they dont do internal democracy, The party has manifesto and they handpick candidates who would best administer the Parties ideologies.

In Nigeria, Myssy85's scenario happens all the time, the moneybag who spends more or whoever commands more thugs win the "internal democracy" e.g How did Adedibu, Akala, Teslim Folarin vs Eleweomo saga occur.

As we progress and matured more while drifting away from money politics and thuggery we can have the US model, But for now the UK model looks better

I dont know the stats but if 5ft 4 is the average in a caucasian country like UK,

What would it be in China or Japan?

Missy85:
There's a thing to be said of  ACN's 'custom' of having a major say in the selection of candidates, even though, on first thought, the idea looks undemocratic.

Candidate imposition is common in the UK. Any one remembers the 'Blair Babes' during Tony Blair's time? Basically, the Labour party imposed several young & aspirational women on constituencies up & down the country,, & guesss what, more women, as a proportion of the voting electorate, voted for the Labour party, than at any previous election in history.

In d 2010 elections, the Conservative Party imposed several young professionals, bankers, lawyers etc on constituencies, 'cause they believed these smart, photogenic, TV-friendly types were more likely to attract votes. In many cases these candidates had absolutely no connection with the constituency they were due to rep. Think of a 30 yr old lawyer from Lagos, being imposed on a constituency in Adamawa, a place he's prob never been to. The constituents in the UK often complain, but their party's headquarters do get their way.

Thats not to say if it's done in the UK, it is right for nigeria,  Nonetheless, I believe there are even more compelling reasons why small parties such as the Acn shd pay close attention to d selection of candidates. Here's what happened in my constituency:

Mr A contested for the Hse of Rep seat  in 2007, but lost marginally to the Pdp candidate. Following his loss, & after the political jobbers had run back to Abuja, he continued to work arduously for his party within the grassroots in the constituency . When he signalled his intention to run again in the 2011 elections, there was overwhelming support by constituents for his candidacy based on his sacrifice for the party.

Everything changed in Oct 2010, 3 mths to party primaries, when a money bag from Abuja who had not visited the town in years turned up & picked up a nomination form for the seat. He proceeded to splash cash in a way that's never been seen in the area, & in the process 'bought' the handful of delegates that wld vote in d primaries.

Our guy that's been working so hard to keep the party going in the constituency but who had no money, was suddenly pushed aside by local party chiefs in favour of the moneybag.

Party HQ folks from outer state intervened when this story got to them. They insisted the poor hard working guy must be the party's candidate.  The local party officials who had been bought by d wealthy candidate ran to the press accusing party HQ of imposing a candidate.

This is the story up & down d country, where pple with money and who had previuosly shown absolutely no interest in politics, suddenly turn up a few months bf primaries & use their money to displace candidates who had been working hard for d best part of 3.5 yrs.

Although d word 'imposition' is dirty, am afraid, in some cases it is absolutely necessary.

Very insightful. AGreed.

Akande simply stated that candidate imposition is the culture of the ACN since time immemorial and most of the ACN/AC/AD/UPN/AG politicians were imposed.

We have tasted the products of internal democracy of PDP in the SW and also tasted products of imposition and we can decide which ones are the lesser evil.

ACN carry go jorrrrr.

Osun state for example 3 senatorial seat won by Isiaka Adeleke (Governor of the state in 1991, Current Senator), Iyiola Omisore (Deputy Governor 199-2003, Murder suspect of Attorney general Bola-Ige, Senator for 8yrs), And Olagunsoye Oyinlola(Governor of lagos State 1993, Suspected conspirator in the murder of Kudirat Abiola, Governor of Osun State 2003-2010)

Looking at these guys and their pedigree where do you think change come from for Osun State.

5ft 7 is quite short. 5ft6-7 is average for women

How tall are you shy-one. I guess since you model, You would be taller than that. Now add heels to it

Could this be Tumfulu?

So the person whom GEJ campaign team labelled a thief, Is now part of the the campaign?

Doesnt this show that GEJ is ganging up with thieves?

Werder Bremen was on the ascendancy in the mid 2000 but they have regressed because of several things

1) I think Thomas Schaff is at the end of where his brains can take him. He is the longest serving Bundesliga coach and its becoming counter productive. Having a mediocre coach for a long time in the seat would bring the ambition of the club to where the coach's ability can get to.

2) Bremen is basically a selling club, That means they have to sell most of their top stars like Micoud to buy a young Diego, Diego matured they sold him and a young Ozil came up, They sold Oezil now and are hoping Marin and Arnautovic can live up to the billing, When those ones mature they would sell them again and the cycle continues.

3) They lowering their expectation of just qualifying for CL and hopefully making it beyond the group stages.

4) Their style of play is too attacking to be succesful on the long run. No serious club would play the twin towers of disaster : Naldo and Mertersacker and hope to do anything meaningful in Europe. Bremen would believe in outscoring their opponents. A classic example is their game vs Valencia last season that ended 5-4

Can you see similarities with a particular club in the EPL? Coincidentally the club too last won the league the same year Bremen won the league

@OP,

Are you more interested in who is right and wrong or you want your home back? Everyone has told you you both share in the blame but you keep going on and on

if you want out of the relationship then its fine. The way you have been going on and on on this thread, I can imagine what level of nagging the man is facing at home.

Even reading this thread sounds like you are nagging.

OK you win tell your husband to give you a trophy or prize for winning.

I think its nice you came to post on NL so Naija women can read it and appreciate us better.

Stranger,
