"Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu, during a stakeholders meeting with political parties and their candidates in Enugu, said that there were so too unnecessary speculation over the poor distribution of PVCs. According to him, the initial challenges that trailed the distribution of the cards have been overcome, and INEC had recorded 77 per cent distribution. He said that, before the end of January, all the PVCs would have been fully distributed". - See more at: http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/news/national-news/195108-why-jonathan-may-lose-votes-in-southeast#sthash.aDCvfY68.dpuf

Borno state rally is expected to attract a smaller crowd for obvious reasons. This is a war zone. People would be naturally afraid to attend any event that will attract crowd as such will be an invitation to suicide bombers. You wouldn't want to let your loved one go to such a place. Again, It was very clear looking at the pictures that there was a deliberate security precaution to distance the dignitaries from the crowd. The crowd were far removed and it became politically expediënt to take shots of the areas where the dignitaries were seated.

Jimi looks physically much trendier and younger than his younger opponent. And should be biologically younger than him if they had to under-go age test, i presume.

So this one is worth celebrating as well? Nigeria!

Mc4larin:
The Igbo Internet thugs who campaign for
Goodluck Jonathan are an utter disgrace to
humankind. They are, indeed, a strange species of homo sapiens. Maybe, they are a hybrid of homo erectus and home sapiens!

Their actions are hardly compatible with those of people who have what the French call l’amour propre, self esteem or self worth.

A little over a year ago, Femi Fani-Kayode wrote a series of horrible articles well circulated in the
media against the Igbo. Falling short of calling for Igbo extermination, Femi confessed his great
admiration for Adolf Hitler’s Mien kempf,
probably the most racist book in world history.

All manner of people who called themselves Igbo Internet warriors were calling for his head. You would naturally expect them to kick against
Jonathan’s recent appointment of Femi Fani-
Kayode as the director of media and publicity of
his reelection campaign, thus becoming the face
and voice of the president, an Ijaw who has
strangely been portrayed as an Igbo. But far from taking exception to this sacrilege, the self-styled Internet warriors, whom Oby Ezekwesili
memorably calls Internet thugs, are rather now in cahoots with Femi! They quote him approvingly every minute. Why? Femi has a huge propaganda budget! Most of these Internet warriors are on his payroll, and their principal duty is to besmirch the integrity of Muhammadu Buhari, apart from raising cudgels, knives, daggers and guns against thoughtful Igbo people who raise questions about the propriety of their action. The Great Zik of Africa was fond of describing such irresponsible characters as knaves.

The knaves enthusiastically circulated a forged
hospital document alleging that Buhari has
prostate cancer. Just before this forgery, they
reported online that Buhari had fainted at a
campaign rally and was rushed to a hospital even when the same characters were commenting on Buhari’s ongoing campaign stumps in different parts of the country!

As Jonathan was about to visit Onitsha last week,
they circulated a picture of a bridge under
construction somewhere but mischievously
claimed that it is the so-called Second Niger
Bridge which becomes relevant to the president
only during electioneering campaigns. The
essence of circulating the false picture was to
deceive their own Igbo people into believing that
work on the mythical bridge had taken off in
earnest. How some Igbo Internet fraudsters
could have the courage to “419” or swindle their
own people in broad daylight in order to please
an Ijaw president and turn round to claim that
they are the champions of Igbo interests remains one of the greatest mysteries of our time.

It is revealing of the kind of ethics of the government in Abuja and their supporters all over Nigeria. It is also revealing of why some people in Nigeria and elsewhere think that the Igbo have too many Judas Iscariots, too many people eager to kill even their own family members for a mess of
porridge.

On a personal note, I am deeply worried about
the enthusiasm of a couple of professionals and
Pentecostal pastors in this forum to indulge in
this fraud in the name of politics. They need be
reminded in public that certain actions of theirs
do cause tremendous and eternal violence to
their personal and professional reputations, to
say nothing about their supposed religious
callings. They are advised to read up the idea of
the scandal of perception in Catholic theology.
Put succinctly, their utterances and actions as
ordained ministers of God or equivalent could
cause some believers to lose faith in God.


C. Don Adinuba.

This silly Ukpo man is now whinning because he's no more close to Abuja. Would he have written this trash when he served the former Minister of Power Barth Nnaji as an assitant? The answer is NO.

Bianca or Femi: politics is dynamic. There is no permanent enemy but interest. If it is in the interest of the majority of Ndigbo to vote for a particular candidate and Femi happens to share that interest working for his principal, what is wrong about it? If C.Don is actually the man who wrote this piece, then i have cause to question his intellect and judgement. What a silly piece.

It is apparent this model is Buhari-bent otherwise it's inconcievable to even tinker with the dream that Ndi-Imo will not vote for GEJ. To the extent that Buhari may gather over half a million votes there and even win. The model failed woefully to accurately predict the known unknowns drawing from the traditional ethno-regional sentiments in Nigeria.

@Mod, front page, please. Chief Olu Falae is a respected Yoruba leader and a strategic thinker. People need to have an easy sight of his comments for record purposes.

OMOTOLA, enjoy yourself but remember to save for the rainy day. I've noticed that Nigerian celebrities always begged the public for money for treament when they fall sick. Many die for treatable disease for lack of money. Just be wise with funds.

iluvweed:
Useless E-diots!!!

After killing all your family members in a bomb attack, they still rush to embrace him....See as all of them black like charcoal!

Poverty stricken bastards!.......

Don't be pained. They can be black as charcoal but that didn't affect their capability to think. They know on which side to find the sponsors of those that are attacking them.

It simply means GEJ is a great and civilized man as he could as well decide not to visit. Leadership at work.

olatade:
My brother, you should be old enough to present your own argument and not insult. Grow up!

In this case, there shouldn't be any argument about light and darkness...OK

olatade:
Kindly note that in getting down from the fence and speaking up at this critical time, I do not mind if you speak up for Goodluck Jonathan. Yes, you have a right to do so as a Nigerian. But, as an elite, your stand must be known so that when the massacres continue because of cluelessness, when the unrestrained stealing of our public resources continue, when darkness continues to befall the nation because of lack of power, it is important we all remember those who betrayed their conscience and the people because of ethnicity and self-aggrandisement and for posterity to record it as such.
We have a President who has no single appetite to fight corruption – yes, none. Imagine a campaign that is dominated by the theme of corruption, yet the President has decided to appoint a person facing trial for money-laundering as his Director of Media and Publicity.


Kai,shame on you GEJ

Ola, you know you're fooling yourself. By presenting a weakly Grand Pa alongside your kinsman, Osibanjo, you guys have shown you're the most lowly strategic thinkers driven by petty political advantage. It is only fools and vulnerable people that you can convince GEJ is bad. In every facet of Nigeria's political life, GEJ, has out performed his predecessors. You've failed in this mission i bet you.

kheart:
So u miss yestarday s pdp rally in katsina,
Mc: Nigeria
Rented crowd: sai Buhari

It's about kano, please!

[/quote][quote author=Adminisher post=29996377]Yorubas are not narrow minded. We are not going with an inferior president. Jonathan is corrupt and unintelligent and it is becoming hard for parade him in the international community.
This rally you see is about SHEKARAU, MUAZU and to a minority extent SAMBO.The owner of Kano is however Kwankwanso himself so everybody is just deceiving himself. Jonathan has just a marginal role to play here and you know it. He is a spectator in a rally organised by his party to challenge Kwankwanso' s machinery.

Please, comprehend my lines!!! I said a few. But relatively GEJ is intellectually more polished than the grand pa. The international community conversely are begining to see who Buhari was in his days as head of state. Many OP-eds written in his days as president have been unearthed by the international community. I repeat, a Yoruba can think better than this. A real shame indeed for the "sophisticated" ones.

kheart:
Wow rented crowd just waiting 4 wen dey ll shout sai Buhari wen d mc ll ask dem Nigeria

If this number was rented, then it should be a case study to win elections indeed!!!!

They shall chew their words. The few narrow minded Yorubas who wants to mortgage the destiny of Nigeria with a mere VP position, awaiting the death of Buhari, will find out how stupid they were.

omenka:
Jonathan in Kano...

Nonsense!!!! Was it not the same image purported to have come from Kebbi state yesterday. Cheap shot indeed.

Before GEJ hit the campaign trail in the north, we were made to understand that NO SINGLE northerner wanted to associate with the president, but recent pictures streaming out of the north are saying something to the contrary. This election will spring surprises!

mustymatic:
Na d job dem de Hope for, mumu president no provide

Their past leaders from the North deliberately uneducated them for their selfish reasons. Of which the majority could hardly do any other jobs than water vending, shoe cobbling and general manual labor. GEJ knew the key to their success and decent jobs was to start with "Almajiri schools" first.

The region and its people lacks human capacity development and are very vulnerable, that's why you see this crowd.

frankyychiji:
Sokoto people be like....one good term deserves another.

....And the Pres. Shehu Shagari factor. A revered son of Sokoto removed by Buhari. Many Sokotoans do not share the return of the coupist who removed their own from power.

This is awesome, even in Sokoto?

WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE FRONT PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!??

idumuose:
Well,if any political party forments trouble in any polling unit in the north,and i foresee it happening,
the best thing Inec would do is to disqualify the election in that polling unit.

Jonathan posters are in major towns in plateau state.

Jega's body language does not point in the direction of your thoughts so it seems. There is what seems like an unspoken conspiracy against the incumbent even amongst the Northern appointees in this adminstration. Like i said, we'll see how it turns out.

idumuose:
Modupe,where in Bauchi do you stay?
Yelwa

Gwalameji

Gidan mayi,etc

I think i know a few places there.

My friend called to inform me that Jonathan/Sambo posters are not in Bauchi.Even Jatau,the PDP governorship candidate did not have

Jonathan's image on his posters.

In other words, it is Hausa-Fulani palace coup in the making. We'll see how it'll all turn out.

OUR PROPHETS IN NIGERIA COULD BE SOMETIMES CORRECT. ONE OR TWO OF THEM PROPHESIZED A FEW WEEKS AGO OF THE DEATH OF A POPULAR NOLLYWOOD ACTOR. I WILL NOW WANT TO BELIEVE SOME OF THEIR PREDICTIONS ON THE WINNER OF THE 2015 PRES. ELECTION.

drlawizle:
Chai! Most of the things you put up there are toxic info...are you sure your a medical or a native doctor? Cos you really suck @pathogenesis..

The commonest riskfactors for Chronic Kidney Disease include:

Sytemic Hypertension-as you rightly mentioned
Diabetes Mellitus
Chronic Glomerulonephritis
Drugs & Herbal abuse-which includes pain killers as you rightly mentioned
HIV Associated Nephropathy (HIVAN)

The pathogenesis (mechanism of disease) you got wrong is saying a damaged kidney will cause Diabetes...where the hell did you get that? Uncontrolled Diabetes is what

causes damaged kidneys not the other way round...where u can have a vicious cycle is Hypertension & Kidney disease whereby one can cause the other & vice-

versa..Diabetes on the other hand comes solely from damage to the Pancreas..and also the commonest species of Plasmodium that causes outright Kidney injury is

Plasmodium malariae & not Plasmodium falciparum as you stated up there...falciparum is very common in African children hence every African child should have gotten

kidney injury if what your saying is true...its only the severe case of Plasmodium falciparum that emanates from untreated or poorly treated malaria that can cause kidney

injury & not the acute phase...take note not to misinform the public

It is a systemic issue, my friend; one fault affects the rest. Damaged kidneys affects adversely how the body metabolizes sugar, in turn slows insulin sensitivity - pancreas.

voltron:
A lot of nairalanders are playing with kidney failure.. watch what you eat and drink. Go and test your blood sugar.. know your condition and start eating right and exercising right.. get rid of the bad habits that bring about kidney failure.. please i beg you all.

Rest in Peace Muna.

Most Nigerians are hypertensive and do not know about it even as their kidneys have deteriorated to irreversble points. There are three major causes in Nigeria viz

1) Hyperrtension

2)The most kidney-damaging strain of malaria is now prevalent in Nigeria - FALCIPARIUM. Only one attack can wipe out the whole kidney or leave one with a stage four kidney failure without knowing.

3) Genuine painkillers kills the kidneys, despite that, Nigeria is the home of fake Pain killers, some manufactured in the slums of the big cities.

While you take note of all these, make sure you control your blood pressure because it kills the kidneys by denying blood flow to them. That in turn causes your Sugar to go high - hyperglycemia or diabetes - finishing off the kidneys.
Go to a good Lab and ask them to conduct a kidney test. That will tell you your GFR - Glomeruli Filtration Rate. This is the marker of how well your kidneys are filtering the impurities in your body

Anyone one who disputes the pictures should then show the link to the REAL bridge where Chino copied it or simply shut it!

IGBO ADIRI BAGO!

Jonathan is simply a big shinning light that darkness is uncomfortable with.

If i were him an average Nigerian, I will seek to have the money value of it immediately. Then 4-5 million for another second hand SUV. 5M or less for a piece of land in a good area. 25m for a Six Flats of Three bedroom building to stabilize my revenue. For the rainy day.

knightsTempler:
Dare to be a Nigerian

If you support PDP, you are paid to do so and apparently a thief;

But if you support APC, you are a patriot who is fighting for Nigeria.

If an APC governor award a km of road for N1.2billion, he is prudent and God sent;

If a PDP governor award same km of road for N500million, he is a thief.

If Fani Kayode joins PDP, he is bastard;

If Atiku joins APC, he is a democrat.

If Jonathan spends N7billion for his office par year, he is a criminal;

If Fashola spend same amount in a year, he is a saint.

If Akpabio approves N200Million as pension, he must be stoned;

If Fashola approved N300million for Tinubu he is a change agent.

If you cancelled toll gate as PDP government, you are an enemy of progress;

But if you build a road in Lagos, with tax payers money and toll the road, you are genius.

If you increase school feed as PDP government, you must be crucified;

If you do same as APC government, there must be a reason, cuz Education is not cheap anywhere in the world.

If you share Okada to the poor as PDP, you are poor peoples enemy;

If you ban Okada after election as an APC government, you are only helping the poor to stay alive, so you mean well.

If you single handedly make your daughter a market woman leader in APC state, it is for the progress of the people;

But if your wife is made a permanent secretary in your state by your state government of PDP, you are a greedy fellow.

If you spend N16billion on electricity without power and then support APC, you a navigator;

If you raise N500million through unbundling of same power, you are clueless.

If you fail to pay your workers for a month, but in APC, it is not your fault but someone up there;

But if you failed to pay your worker for a month and still in PDP, you are wicked human being.

If you force your family, in-law and girlfriends as senators and lawmakers on the rest of the party members, you a progressive leader;

But if you act like you don't care in PDP, you are dullard

If you tried to get a third term fraudulently by bribing the legislatures but failed, then support APC, you are democrat and the father of the nation;


If you try to get a constitutional second term in PDP, without their blessings, you an ingrate and silly.

In their time we had Halliburton scandal, ID card scandal, Siemens scandal, we have subsidy scam scandal, we have national stadium contract scandal, we have health budget financial scam, aviation sector scam, we had power sector scandal. How many people did he jail to prove he fought corruption? Rather EFCC was his big stick against his perceived enemies.

In their time we had a sitting governor kidnapped by a thug working for the president. We had a whole region of the country rigged in favor of his party. Morris Ibekwe, a wanted international fraud star won election under PDP.

Those who stole Nigerians blind under PDP; Atiku, Obasanjo, Baraje, Saraki, Wammako, Kwankwaso, Amaechi, Oyinlola, Segun Oni, Okorocha, Ngige, Adeleke, El Rufai, etc, are today the same people financing APC and calling for "CHANGE".

Flashback to 1999, who were these people? Billionaires ? They where nobody. Today, they spend billions and no one dare to ask a question. If you do you are enemy of progress.

They started with "New PDP" when that didn't fly, they joined a cult group called ACN to become APC. Same character with different name.

Sometimes it is better not to be a Nigerian than to be a confused and ignorant one.

Good memo

The effort is not going to indicate anything as Buhari won on-line 4 years ago but GEJ won in real life.
