Can you point a yorubaman in politics or in any political position in any state in the east?if you can then you have every right to fight for relevance in lagos.

I laugh when reading this letter...I think the Igbos need to know their position in Lagos and other state in the west(Immigrant)the earlier they do d better for them.The west belongs to the Yorubas and the east belongs to the Igbos,if you seeking relevance in another man s land than you must follow the right way not forcing for it.

i remember around 2005 when i was travelling from Lagos to Akwa ibom(MAN oron)we boarded a bus with my group of friends from mile 2(evergreen)to Akwa ibom which was the final busstop or destination but on getting to one eastern state(i cant remember again)the bus driver stopped the bus and told us to find our way to awka ibom just because we were the only group heading to that direction,we confronted the driver because of the earlier agreement and final bustop (awka ibom)to my greatest surprise the driver denied us and threaten to kill us if we dont Run but because we were persistent about our initial agreement he(driver)called some garage touts on us,they arrived with broken bottles and plank shouting STUPID YORUBAS,THIS IS NOT YORUBA LAND.WE WILL KILL YOU PEOPLE,we ran for our dear lives.

it is the same people that re calling for relevance in another man s land,so many igbos believe that they contributed to development of Lagos BIG JOKE.but i can tell you that it is the western states,lagos and other state that has helped you and your eastern state to grow in development.if not for the western states,the eastern state will continue to be a slum and shamble.

You are very correct. That is exactly what an igbo driver did to me on my way to Makurdi. I boarded the bus at Iyana Ipaja only for the driver to stop at Upper Iweka in Onitsha and asked us to find our ways. While we argued this with him, he called some touts and some of us were roundly beaten and robbed. It was another igbo okada rider that saved me when he realised the situation I was into. He said he had lived in Osogbo and that he loves our people.
I hardly take online igbo trolls serious because they are just empty chest beaters. Majority of them that I have interracted with outside nairaland and in the east are loving, caring and law abiding citizens...though some are worse but they belong to the minority.

Why Lagos? The place is full already. He should have sited it at the east of the niger. Mikel knows whats up.

Jonathan is not on twitter, has the second largest followership on facebook

A presidential source has disclosed that President Goodluck Jonathan is not on twitter contrary to an earlier report by an online news site that claimed that the president operates the @JGoodlucktweets account.

Details @ http://www.thekillerpunch.com/jonathan-not-twitter-second-largest-followership-facebook/

When the twitter palmwine was still fresh in 2011, Jonathan owns the social media. Now that the table has turned, you all begin to throw excuses. Jonathan defeat in 2015 will make Moammar Ghaddafi feel lucky wherever he is.
Change I believe.
Buhari 2015

How are we sure it wasn't a TANoid that started the propaganda in order to score a cheap political point for his master? Whether you like it or yes, change in 2015 is inevitable.
BUHARI 2015.

He must be foolish for misleading nigerians.

Kenai:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Goodluck Jonathan is NOT on Twitter.

Sorry, Buhari extremists, but your propaganda just got busted.

Goodluck is no longer needed. Nigerians need better luck.

mesoade:
you can start by telling us the improvement he had brought to your life.

My life is refined in contentment already. But the hope of seeing nigerians being rescued from PDP detention come 2015, is enough to cherish for the moment.
Jonathan is destructive and divisive.
Buhari 2015.

Corruption-in- Thief spokesperson has spoken. Tinubu and Buhari have already mixed to rescue this nation from the fangs of your destructive PDP.
APC 2015

starlingleanets:
Its None Of My Buisness na......INOMB

The destruction of the nation can never be TANoids' problem, in as much as there are still crumbs falling from the master's table to feast on.

When the going was good, there was no denial. But in the face of upmost failure, the
account suddenly belongs to a ghost.
change 2015
Buhari 2015.

starlingleanets:
Ok But GEJ till 2019

In your dreams. Wake up, it s dawn already.
Change is here, in change we believe.
Buhari 2015.

kokoA:
You think he is called "The Peoples' General" for nothing?

Remove presidential power from GEJ and I bet you he won't be able to pull 1 percent of the crowd a normal citizen like Buhari pulls. Those millions of people can't be wrong.. There is something special about GMB! Who God has blessed, no man can curse.

Buhari is really the man of the moment.

omanzo02:
Dude....I already have a good life, i dont need politicians, the system I live in provides for me, I had it good too when I was in Nigeria.

Majority of nigerians also deserve better life, but the way things are being run in this country by PDP is a clog in the wheel of individual progress. The change must come, come 2015.

Dbboy:
A presidential source has disclosed that President Goodluck Jonathan is not on twitter contrary to an earlier report by an online news site that claimed that the president operates the @JGoodlucktweets account.
But upon investigation, it was revealed that the Twitter profile in question @JGoodlucktweets though pro-Jonathan, is not the twitter profile of the President neither is it listed on any of the President’s official platforms.
“The president is not on twitter, he does not operate any account like that. His facebook account is verified where he engage Nigerians and the world. In fact, one of his aides granted an interview to a national daily in 2013 explaining why the President is not on Twitter,” the source said.
President Jonathan is verified on Facebook where he has a following of almost 2 million followers. He has the second largest following of any President after US President, Barrack Obama and he regularly engages with Nigerians through that medium.
The @JGoodlucktweets was last updated on November 11 while the verified facebook account boast of the president’s Christmas message on December 25.

When the going was good, there was no denial. But in the face of utmost failure, the account suddenly belongs to a ghost.
change 2015

At the risk of putting a dampener on your holiday festivities, here’s a quick reminder of how badly 2014 went. Of course, we’ll rather sweep all of this under Nigeria’s Big Rug of Forgetfulness, but now that the presidential campaign is in full swing with the
achievements of Goodluck Jonathan’s administration in roads, bridges and other petty
infrastructure, here’s a quick look at the worst tragic events, inane policies and
unresolved issues that plagued us in 2014 alone.

1. The Continuing Boko Haram War which, insanely, is yet to be treated as a war. Instead, the Federal Government of Nigeria treats it as a mild annoyance while the
military keeps pretending it’s a top secret experiment being conducted in the basements of Sambisa Forest. Meanwhile, tragic news from internally displaced persons tells of unbelievable horror: captured towns; wanton and brutal killings; extortion by terrorists. The year 2014 has been a kill-fest for Boko Haram: the Borno Massacre, Abuja and Kano bomb blasts, the sudden emergence of female suicide bombers, and terrorist flags raised over Nigeria territories: one would be forgiven to think that the terrorists have been handed a free pass across the North of Nigeria. There was a point in the year where it seemed that the Nigerian Army had got its game on and would soon rout the terrorists, but the Federal Government announced a one-sided “ceasefire” and, to put a cliché on it, “snatched defeat from the jaws of victory”. Boko Haram is currently the biggest
headache in Nigeria—and it’s also the most ignored by the Presidency.

2. The Missing Chibok Girls have made international news through the # BringBackOurGirls campaign, suitably embarrassing the Presidency and gearing them to
some half-assed attempt at damage control for their initial disregard. Even worse than
the disbelief was the earlier lie pushed out by the military that they had recovered the
girls—a statement that wrecked whatever little trust Nigerians had in the military.
Meanwhile, the Presidency, either because of its unbelievable disconnect from the
military or simply through general nonchalance, didn’t believe the girls were missing, that is, until the aforesaid international embarrassment. Afterwards, the President flew
to France for a problem solving meeting and later met with members of the Chibok
community (in deference to Malala’s wishes—we should add), and then—nothing.
Honestly, nothing else. That’s all. The girls are still missing—some of them presumed
dead.

3. Abba Moro and the Tragic NIS Recruitment is a story that should have shaken the foundations of public administration in a saner climate. But, not in Nigeria. How do you connect a public service recruitment exercise with the deaths of several people while
making a truckload of money too? Leave it to Abba Moro, Minister of Interior. Bad
enough that the Immigration Service charged money from potential government
employees; bad enough that the recruitment exercise was badly planned and fatally
executed, bad enough that Abba Moro was not sacked afterwards—but utterly shameful and irresponsible that the Federal Government didn’t even consider it an issue worth stressing about. There was no sense of shame or regret. Just a casual promise to find jobs for the injured and compensate relatives of the fatal victims—a promise which I understand is yet to be fulfilled. Yet, the same government lost no time in suspending a weekly Federal Executive Council meeting following the death of—wait for it—the Vice President’s brother.


4. That Embarrassing Centenary Celebration would have been deeply hilarious if it wasn’t also a tragic reflection of the distance between the federal government of
Nigeria and the reality of millions of everyday Nigerians. This was at a time when the
country was in a sour mood and nobody was looking to a national celebration. But, by
heavens, the Presidency was determined to party—and party it did. It ran amok with
the celebrations and dashed imaginary awards to everyone who ever slept in a
government house. Just to rub this indiscretion in the noses of Nigerians properly, the Abachas were also invited to dine. And that’s when even Jonathan’s supporters started
to worry about the quality of his advisers.


5. A National Conference or Something Like That, which, to be frank, was neither national nor was it a conference: more like a cross between a political party conference and a bucket list for old men. The President wanted to impress some intellectuals,
maybe, but all it featured was a couple or so brilliant speeches and a lot of puzzling
fights. We really don’t know where the report by the Conference is headed or what
benefit it has conferred on Nigeria. In short, the Conference was another brainwave of
the GEJ administration that just didn’t make much sense. The best I can say is this: it started too quickly and ended too late.

6. Twenty Billion Dollars and other Sorry Tales: we all learnt a lot about numbers this year. I learnt that you can host a magnificent World Cup with thirteen billion dollars or
thereabouts—ask Brazil. Which is why it’s puzzling that a figure even in excess of that
amount could lose its way to the Federation Account and nobody in Aso Rock bothered
to send out a search team. Well, the erstwhile governor of the Central Bank tried to raise
an alarm and we all saw the President come on TV to insult the man’s intellect on the
premise that a man who mistook a mere case of “stealing” public funds for one of “corruption” was unfit to be a central bank governor. A new governor was promptly
appointed and that leads to the next point.


7. Rebased, Reserved, Revalued aka Economics, Economics and more Economics. Look, I’m not quite sure any single person in Nigeria can tell you exactly what the hell is going
on with the Nigerian economy. First, the economy was rebased in what was supposed
to translate into “Nigeria has more money circulating in its industries than we realized”
and next, we learnt that our external reserve was going down faster than a belly
dancer, and before we could comprehend that imagery, we saw the naira go down
even faster against the dollar. All of this in 2014. Till date, the President has not told us what these economic travails mean and how he plans to handle it (except you count the
dismissive explanations set out in the 2015 budget). Meanwhile, the new CBN governor
has politely asked for a sixty-five naira ATM fee to save banks the trouble of stealing it
directly from your account.

8. The Signing of the “Anti-Gay” Law was another indication of the total lack of seriousness by the Federal Government of Nigeria. Not content with dismissing the
menace of Boko Haram across the country, the legislators and the executive decided to
focus on the singular most important issue bothering all Nigerians today: the lives of
gay and lesbian folks getting married in America and Europe.


9. The Military Went Gaga and not against Boko Haram—we’re all for the military going gaga against Boko Haram within the rules of engagement. Instead, newspaper
bundles and public buses got a hard year from military onslaught. Front pages were
slashed, trucks were waylaid, and buses were set ablaze. When all that fighting had
settled for a while, the military suddenly resurrected their death penalty court-martial—
not to shoot the soldiers burning buses and newspapers—but to shoot the soldiers
fighting an ill-equipped war. And in all these things, the Presidency said nothing but focused squarely on running down the opposition party.



10. The Year of All the King’s Men: The President must have picked up on the criticisms that, maybe, too many women were running the government and we needed some
gender balance. So, enter Oritsejafor, Alamieyeseigha, Tompolo, Dokubo, Obanikoro,
Femi Fani-Kayode and so on and so forth. Of course, we’ve always had the usual
suspects: Okupe, Maku and Abati. But this year was big for the new names: Oritsejafor
got to run interference, Alamieyeseigha got a pardon, Tompolo got some warships,
Obanikoro got to monitor state elections, and Dokubo got more Dokubo. And so 2014 was a great year for presidential retorts and responses and reactions. GEJ always had a
comeback for every idle comment and serious criticism. You could actually hear El-
Rufai’s silence—and even Amaechi took a breather.

Twitter don 't win election.......

U can buy bulk followers if u can pay. That is what celebrities do.......And APC/Buhari are into it too.

Read how they do it.

So you can also buy bulk commentators too? Kindly add Mr Change and feel the breeze of change.., and your liife will never remain the same.

The only runoff I forsee is Jonathan running back to Otuoke.

The wave of change is here. Buhari Twenty fifteen.

Just 4 Days: Buhari’s Twitter Followers Already Over Half Of Jonathan’s Twitter Account Created 4 Years Ago. The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed
over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @ JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers.

The @ThisIsBuhari Twitter handle of General Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has amassed over 45,000 followers in just four days. By contrast, President Goodluck Jonathan’s @ JGoodlucktweets, which is four years old, has just about 40,000 more followers. Jonathan created his Twitter account exactly 1,634 days ago, on July 6 2010, and now has 84,800 followers. The account appears to have stopped growing, as it has been in the region of 84,000 since he declared his run for a second term a few weeks ago. Buhari’s account was created on Dec 22, and had by the afternoon of December 26, Eastern
Standard Time, amassed a following of 45,200. It is also of interest that in the past four years, President Jonathan has tweeted only 129 times, about two tweets per month. His last tweet appeared on November 11, 2014.
In comparison, Buhari has tweeted 55 times in his four days on Twitter, his last one appearing yesterday, December 25, 2014. Buhari’s running mate, Yemi Osinbajo, also got into Twitter two weeks ago, on December 10, and his followers are now up to 25,000. Vice President Namadi Sambo, who is also running for a second term, has an even older Twitter account than President Jonathan’s, but although his account was created in February 2010, he has only 3,188 followers. When running for office in 2010, President Jonathan was very active on Facebook and Twitter, which he used to lure younger voters. After the election, when the same supporters, some of whom said they had voted to him but not the PDP, began to demand accountability and
productivity, they were quietly ignored by President Jonathan. As their agitations mounted on social media, in August 2012 President openly denounced them through spokesman Reuben Abati, who in an article called them “army of sponsored and self-
appointed anarchists,” competing among themselves to pull him down. Jonathan included in the demographic “all the cynics, the pestle-wielding critics, the unrelenting,
self-appointed activists, the idle and idling,twittering, collective children of anger, the distracted crowd of Facebook addicts, the BBM- pinging soap opera gossips ofNigeria.

” It is an assault the very vocal group does not seem to have forgotten.

Sorry for the gods.

Mogidi:
I actually believe Buhari's handlers are doing a great job. The way they sold this extremist, inept and lacklustre Buhari to a gullible public deserves some praise.
But you have to scratch the surface to reveal the sharia loving, quoran thumping bukohari leader is the same one Nigerians rejected in 2003, 2007, 2011 and would certainly reject again in 2015.

U sound like a sigidi without brain. So with the nonsense you put up there, you still want the muslim votes for your dumb master?

Kind of weird seeing the desperation by which GMB goons use every opportunity to campaign for their master but seeing it naturally they seem to me as ones fighting a lost battle

Don't quote me again. I don't have time for riff raffs like you.
