[quote author=X-factoria link=topic=656423.msg8226377#msg8226377 date=1304062974]And didn't you read his solution where he mentioned the convocation of a sovereign national conference to determine the basis for our co-existence [/quote]I totally agree with him on this one as one of the main solutions to all these killings however GEJ (PDP) wont give us such so expect more killings in the north and the rippling effect also in the south.mbulela:This is no news and these were my fears before the elections and why i didnt want him. GEJ has so many strings attached and he will simply be unable to do what he intend doing. He will be choked and stiffened and before we know it another wasted 4yrs is over. |
abibio2001:Emmmn, he is in PDP and i believe he is an in-law to the late Umaru Yaradua. Stand to be corrected but my understanding is this is the way good moslems accept their fate. They believe whatever happens to human happened because God wants it to happen. End of story. Please i stand to be corrected if i am wrong. |
jmaine:so funny however the constitution of FRN superceedes that of the sharia law so that isnt applicable. teskyg:How is it Buhari's plan? Why didnt those in charge stop this mess during the registration process? Were these kids much more powerful than the security agents and govt? Are u saying that PDP (especially those governors) and other parties also didnt benefit from this? |
mbulela:He did denouce it no doubt but how forcefully would he have done it? |
i also respect the views of the Prof but honestly dont agree with it totally. However, this govt should simply wake up to their responsibility and bring both the instigators and perpetrators to book. They are simply too slow aba ![]() |
Arrest me if you can, Buhari dares Jonathan …Says Oritsejafor’s statement reckless From AIDOGHIE PAULINUS, Abuja Tuesday, April 26, 2011 • Buhari Photo: Sun News Publishing More Stories on This Section The presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has challenged President Goodluck Jonathan to arrest him if he can. Buhari spoke against the backdrop of the call by the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, that the CPC candidate be arrested over the recent post-election violence in some Northern states. Oritsejafor, while addressing newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of General Buhari and all identified cohorts before they plunge the nation into another civil war. Speaking through his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, Buhari said Oritsejafor’s comment, calling for his arrest, was reckless and bound to heat up the polity. Odumakin said: “General Buhari is in Daura. So, let Jonathan go and arrest him. One of his contractors has asked him to arrest Buhari. He is in Daura now. So, let him go and arrest him.”(Odumakin) He said men like Oritsejafor were supposed to make statements that would calm frayed nerves, “but unfortunately, it can’t be hidden that the CAN leadership under Oritsejafor had become an extension of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and it is unfortunate that he is partisan to this extreme. “It is unfortunate and it is a shame and it is a betrayal of his calling to be dragging the entire body of Christ into partisan politics,” Buhari said. Buhari noted that it was not a hidden fact that Oritsejafor has always been a friend of Aso Rock and if you have watched his activities since he became CAN president, his activities have been more at Aso Rock and the government houses across the country rather than within the body of Christ. While urging Nigerians to ignore Oritsejafor, Buhari said his statement is not different from that of the PDP’s Acting National Chairman, Haliru Bello, adding that Oritsejafor should be ignored like any other PDP chieftain. He also said his comment on Oritsejafor had nothing to do with the body of Christ, saying we are separating Oritsejafor, his person from the body of Christ. “We have no issue with the body of Christ in Nigeria, but the PDP contractors like him who have taken over the leadership of that respected organization, are using the body of Christ to further their personal interest and not the interests of the body of Christ in Nigeria. “And it will be good for him to read what his Bible says about the false accuser of the brethren. That is the role he is playing now; false accuser of the brethren because what he is doing is making false accusation and seeking the persecution of Buhari based on political contract and not on any fact.” He added: “Men like Oritsejafor are profiting from the rot in Nigeria today and since he became the president of CAN, there is no one word he has spoken against corruption in Nigeria. “He has never issued a word against the rot in Nigeria and it is now that the lickers of Nigeria have regained their control with open electoral robbery, that he is now coming out to ask for the persecution of the victory of electoral robbery. “This clearly shows that people like him are part of the rot in Nigeria and they want to sustain this unjust system which they are benefitting from at the expense of the people they claim to serve. “And more importantly, there is no evidence to give, leaking General Buhari with any political violence. He has condemned it, he has berated the rioters and on two occasions (2003,2007) when he was rigged out of elections, he went to court for 54 months. That is not the attitude of a man, who believes in violence and Ayo Oritsejafor has never condemned the violation of democracy in Nigeria. He has never condemned the stealing of votes. So, his selective sense of justice baffles all because this selective integrity is bundling.” While saying that the CAN president should be asked if that was his Easter message to the nation, Buhari said he hoped Oritsejafor would provide the chain on his neck to hang him when he is arrested. Commenting on Oritsejafor’s demand in a telephone interview with Daily Sun, immediate past President of the CAN, Archbishop John Onaiyekan, said Oritsejafor did not consult him on the statement. “The only thing I can say is that he did not consult me on that. He did not consult me on that statement. I don’t really know why he said it. So, you should ask him. “What I do believe, though, is that if the President said he has set up a judicial commission of enquiry, then, I imagine anyone who has any information that will be useful for the commission to present them, hoping that this time, they are serious. “As you know, we have had so many of such commissions, which have come out with nothing. Nigerians have no confidence in those commissions anymore. “Well, as for the statement of CAN president, I am afraid. You should ask the CAN president. I am sure he is in a position to defend whatever he has said. All I am saying is that I was not consulted on the statement. I have nothing to say,” the Metropolitan Catholic Archbishop of Abuja said. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2011/apr/26/national-26-04-2011-001.htm |
I posted the below on another thread about this issue of underage voters. That underage voters were spotted in the north is a fact and highly condemnable. That underage voters who still went ahead to vote voted for CPC isn’t a fact but mere assumptions. How are we sure that they or some of them didn’t vote for PDP or others? Remember that these underage voters voted during the NASS elections where PDP carried the day and even in the presidential election PDP still have significant votes cut across the same north. As i am writing this, i learnt PDP is currently sweeping the north as far as the guber elections is concerned. Besides, who Registered the under aged voters and why? You cannot blame Buhari for that. He is not in charge of INEC nor is he the chief security of officer of Nigeria. So blame INEC, Jega, PDP, and GEJ for the lapses in the electoral process. They were the direct managers of the process. |
^^^^ what do u mean? |
^^^ yeah u are pretty right there. Its obvious that Buhari never knew they voted for him just the same way PDP and the rest will claim they never asked any underage voters to vote for them because they also benefitted from it also no doubt. so what is the basis of this? Once again, u are simply scratching the surface of this issue. Lets deal with the main issues here as stated below: Demdem: |
^^^^^ I have listened to the interview. Purefoy claimed said they voted for him and Buhari asked him to prove it since he couldnt, he then believes the court should then but eh take a look at the bigger picture here from my previous post. You are just simply scratching the surface. Demdem: |
Beync:I honestly dont get your drift here Beync. Did u just say that Buhari mobilized children for election? That underage voters were spotted in the north is a fact and highly condemnable. That underage voters who still went ahead to vote voted for CPC isn’t a fact but mere assumptions. How are we sure that they or some of them didn’t vote for PDP or others? Remember that these underage voters voted during the NASS elections where PDP carried the day and even in the presidential election PDP still have significant votes cut across the same north.

^^^^ U can say that again. Useless Fellows. |
Orikinla:Good one but can you kindly send me a link or whatever to the above bolded part. |
![]() |
@ Adogbeyi By now, u should know that many of us still have a life after nairaland and that explains my disapperance. A very good explanation has been given as per Bayelsa even though my reservations remain however what about Delta? Someone should please help me out. |
Kobojunkie:I collated the datas from thisday newspapers,tribune and Guardian newspapers and i compared it with what sahara reporters gave. Please check these sites to confirm http://www.guardiannewsngr.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=45192:hail-to-the-chief-jonathan&catid=1:national&Itemid=559 http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jonathan-cruises-to-victory-reaches-out-to-opponents/89845/ http://www.saharareporters.com/news-page/nigerias-presidential-election-jonathan-set-win-aided-southern-magic-numbers Also to get the total number of registered voters, i couldnt get it from INEC site so i decided to google it. Please also do your own home work. You can also try this also. http://www..com/ng/elections-and-electoral-issues/8657-inec-nigeria-number-of-registered-voters-per-state.html Also take a look at the percentage of voters turn-out as against registered voters (07-02-11) especially in the SE and SS states. Its a waoooooo. Compare that to the turn-out of the Abokis up north. Even if some Nigerians are dumb, all of us cant be ![]() |
DELTA. Registered Voters (07-02-11) 1,900,015 Valid Votes 1,410,379 Invalid Votes 19,672 PDP 1,378,851 CPC 8,960 ACN 13,110 ANPP 2,746 Total Votes cast 1,423,339 Verdict : I can’t believe Prof Jega announced this results. How can the total votes cast be more than the total number of valid votes? Remember I didn’t even consider other parties that have hundreds of votes and very few thousands. |
I am sure the below figures will definately be one of the reasons why they are crying foul. Lets look at Bayelsa's figures: BAYELSA. Registered Voters (07-02-11) 472,389 Valid Votes 511,634 Invalid votes 4,841 PDP 504,811 CPC 691 ACN 370 ANPP 136 Total Votes cast 510,849 Verdict : In the president Home state which he was likely to win anyway, the total valid votes exceeded the total number of registered voters, How come? Were there still registration of voters after this day that the nation wasn’t aware of? Jega has some explanation to do here. As it is now, no one knows the total number of registered voters in Bayelsa. |
Meddler:You took that from my mouth honestly and i will have to continue to buy cement here at an higher price than what its being sold for in Ghana despite the fact that we import it to Ghana |
PapaBrowne: |
Look, since seun has decided to remain dumb despite all calls for him to put this thread on the homepage https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-646632.0.html Can you kindly tell us what his reasons are? You guys should know better since you are his lieutenants. Nlanders needs an explanation. |
abes:Seconded. Especially from those os uf who held the ballot paper and know how it looks like. |
This is trully a mess in broad day light on land. This is really incredible and annoying. If all these could happen on land, you can imagine what will be happening at the riverine areas. Definately last saturday's election wasnt free and fair. |
This was posted by another nairalander: How does a man whose friends are the Atikus, alams, Otedolas coma across to you guys as someone who will make a difference? What is your opinion about the national awards bestowed upon patricia ette or the presidential greeting publicly directed at bode george? do u know how many people die everyday in our ill equipped federal hospitals? did u see how much of an eyesore the hospital where the suleja bomb blast victims were taken was? what would it have taken the pdp led federal government to ewuip hospitals? Otedola sells deisel which will only be profitable as long as there isnt stable electricity. why will he be a supporter/sponsor of the gej ticket if he isnt sure that power will remain in its present state?what about the lip service being paid to Jos crisis? how about the promise of ensuring the bombers of 1st october are brought to justice? no bomber/kidnapper has ever been arrested? how about alams and ibori being treated with kids gloves? a spineless leader is what we do not need. a leader who sorrounds himself with mediocres and crooks will deepen our sorrows. what informed the appointment of bianca onoh as an adviser? why does he need 133aides? https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-608976.0.html Why does he keep buying jets with the tax payer's money? what do u make of his empty silly promises of 36airports and new universities when the ones on ground are not maintained? These are more important stuffs to be discussed than discussing a man's diction. the bottom line is he is passing his mesage across and understood. I still prefer this to that Oyibo Patrick Obiagbon of he H.O.R jare. |
KokoBeware:Since its obvious to all that you live by a rail way, can you then kindly confirm to us that you have been seeing these trains moving especially for the past 2-3weeks. Better still, give us pictures of such passing from your rooftop. NLanders will definately appreciate ur effort |
jmaine:Did i just see dirty politics up there? i thought their principal told us he is not involved in such? he even got rid of one of his aides who lied about the 53 suitcases. Its either their principal is lying and deceiving himself of he is simply weak to monitor the activities of those under him |
^^^^^ Yes, weeping for our dear nation |
have taken my time to read through all these pages and much more convinced that GMB is the way to go. No matter what, i will vote for him. he is the solution we need now You guys shouldnt think far if you see votes coming in from the ND region. people like me will definately vote for GMB. Agreed we are in the minority but its the best choice for now. |

[/quote]I totally agree with him on this one as one of the main solutions to all these killings however GEJ (PDP) wont give us such so expect more killings in the north and the rippling effect also in the south.
