The video did not show who was applauding.

Could have been anyone.

Besides do you want them to start shouting at the Oba, so that you will say that they have been disrespectful to their host?
They simply comported themselves.

If you begin to exchange words with a mad man, passersby will not be able to differentiate who the mad person is.

SurePresident:
Yes, Don Jazzy put Nigeria first before being an igbo and he refused to make imbecilic statement like most of his kinsmen. This is how it should be. Civilized nations like America and others that we aspire to be like will always tell you Country first before tribe. Jazzy is one of the very few intelligent igbos that I admire. Majority of igbos have fart-filled craniums, they've been brainwashed since young age. Whenever an igbo heads a Govt office, he never employs other tribes despite better qualifications, only igbos. tribalism has eaten so deep into igbos that other wiser tribes can NEVER vote an igbo as President. This is the major reason why an igbo shall never rule Nigeria. It's a verified fact that there are triple Nos of Hausas than igbos in Lagos, yet the Hausas give us no head ache whatsoever. But igbos with their leaky diarrhea mouth, are hated by both Yorubas and Hausas in Lagos. For real, I can see where tribalism is guaranteed to end these senseless igbos.

Stop lying

raumdeuter:
Jimi is a Lagosian and a relation of the Oba and he was rejected by the Oba in favour of Ambode

The wish of the indigenes should be respected

This is a democracy and not a monarchy.

What the Oba needs to do is issue a clear statement denying or confirming the allegations.

I believe the statement may have been taken out of context.

I do not want to believe that someone in his position will make such unguarded utterances.

ayindejimmy:
Was Buhari an incumbent? What causes riot and make people reject election results.? Rigging.
PDP had been Rigging election until this card reader came. Now they're baffled. They fought it with all they got to discredit the process. Ffk told all the lies in the book. Gej bribed anyone that collect. But the WILL of the people cannot be undermined.

Buhari lost by over 18 million votes.

GEJ lost by under 3 million.
The former cried foul despite the glaring loss.

The latter bowed out graciously despite widespread underage voting and other irregularities.

All I am saying is Buhari should learn to put innocent lives before his personal ambitions.

ayindejimmy:
Has an incumbent ever lost in Nigeria? This people are just celebrating mediocrity. This is a normal phenomenon in Western world. That we're celebrating and according unnecessary ecomnioum to it shows our democracy is FAR from being ripe. Well it's the first time in Nigeria. Gej just did what an honorable leader that realized he has lost an election would do...nothing more

And Buhari in 2011 did exactly the opposite which led to loss of lives.

Can you see the difference.

dejavuh0007:
I just have one wish for y'all this beefers and and haters from SA or whatever african hell hole u dimwits r from "when u guys b feeling lyk ENUGU God will raise a KANO to put u to shame"

This is a very lame analogy.

dejavuh0007:
If nigeria does not have a growing economy? Den wetin MTN and DSTV find come our country?

For you not realize that he was being sarcastic shows that you are not very smart.

You simply fell into his hole.

kibo:
This is wrong, we keep on clamouring for CHANGE and someone will come up here and spread rumor. As far as i am concerned, the greatest CHANGE is on MINDSET and PHILOSOPHY of life which is an individual responsibility. [size=15pt] If you cannot substantiate you claim, it is evil to speak fowl about anybody.[/size]

Any wise person should know that because of the nature of this process, rumors can be orchestrated by evil people to cause mayhem.

Look at your piece, you have labelled her as a bad spouse without any proof. Please if you dont respect Jonathan as an individual, at least respect the seat he occupies as the President.

It is unpatriotic to abuse the wife of the president. There is room for constructive criticisms, not abuse.

Remember that KARMA strucks when you least expect. Nobody knows tomorrow. You might be in the same exact shoes. I sincerely hope you find peace and change this attitude, because this is the real CHANGE.

SELAH !!!!

Thank you so much.

Alphaoscar:
So you want APC to abandon those that laboured with them for a newbie in the party and a defector all because you want APC to compensate your people's irrational and self inflicted political suicide ?



It will never happen! If you guys really want the senate Presidency then you should ask Ngige's opponent to resign and back out for the sake of the generality of the Ibo nation and the position will be yours.

Lol
Ekwunife won free and fair.

Why would she give up her seat?

I find it funny that everyone is crying for Igbos

Women of Jerusalem weep for yourselves

I must say that he has heavily improved in his speech.

I pray he is able to fulfill his promises.

None
He is too immature and cantankerous.

idupaul:
There is nothing inflated here, expectations that were good for Jonathan must also be good for Buhari... Please note i am pro Buhari

Thank you for being truthful.

People expected the best from Jonathan so no excuses for Buhari.

I expect all the roads to be free of potholes after 2 years.
I expect electric speed trains from Lagos to Kano and Enugu to Kaura Namoda.

I expect all the graduates to be employed immediately they leave school.

I expect freedom of speech.

I expect 24hrs of power supply in 1 year.

I expect every corruption to end at every level and all untouchables touched including Tinubu, Amaechi etc.

I expect our airports to be like Dubai, Changi and Incheon.

Misogynist2014:
Was afraid of ICC

He could have kept mute or still outrightly contested the outcome of the results which will whip up unnecessary sentiments and send the wrong signal of instability.

A move that will be detrimental to the economy whilst still being perfectly legal.

GEJ you did well

omoarole:
He congratulated his opponent on winning the election, thereby averting unnecessary bloodshed and civil unrest. If General Muhammadu Buhari had done the same in 2011, countless needless deaths could have been prevented. That's what President Jonathan did.
I'm proud of him. He has my most reserved respect for a great man. He is indeed a great man.

GEJ you did well

omenka:
I don't see PDP surviving the haemorrhage that would ensue in the party after may 29th.

Too bad.

They should start working out the details a new alliance that would serve as the opposition party. We need such to further deepen our democracy and mitigate mediocrity and complacency on the part of the ruling party.

Thank you Mr President for allowing popular opinion stand in this election.

Congrats GMB.

God bless Nigeria.

You make sense sometimes.

This may not be necessary.
As GEJ has conceded defeat.

However, to further strengthen our democracy, any disparities should be lawfully looked into.

There will be peace in Bayelsa.

Thanks to the acceptance of defeat by GEJ.

A quick move to calm frayed nerves.

By this time in 2011 it was already boiling up north.

We all can learn from one another.

GEJ you have written your name in gold for not fanning the embers of division and chaos.

Congrats to Buhari.

He persisted and succeeded.

A bigger congrats however goes to GEJ for his magnanimity in defeat.
I hope that the gubernatorial candidates will learn from this.

pendy79:
The total vote in Akwa Ibom won't be up to 300,000 this is what we said. I have friends and former colleagues who.still reside in Eket, Oron and Uyo who voted in the Election.

There was large apathy in the election and there is no way Akpabio would have won because the Abak 6 group of local government government comprising of Ibibios Re against his usurping of the rotational senatorial arrangement with the Ikot Ekpene Annang group.

Same with oron nation, PDP stole ballot papers, incident forms and results sheets based on info I got so far.

He has 422,000 plus votes out of 439,000.registered voters, just wait and watch how this result is thrown.away.and he is removed from the senate after finger print authentication.

What they did in Rivers, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Cross Rivers is what is being played out here.

Watch out for 1.4million vote for GEJ out of 1.41million.registeres voters soon 99.9%. They never learn how to do things in moderation.

They are so used to the rigging they lose their senses doing it. No state across Nigeria have recorded a 95% turnout since yesterday but here we have a 98% vote for just one person. Let see how effective INEC's Automation and Finger Print authentication for ballot papers work.

APC valid ballot Paper removed to allow the PDP add up their huge number of ghost votes in Akwa Ibom.

Stop crying

Buhari has lost.

Buhari will still lose

Nollywood for GEJ

Buhari has lost

The only president that has given us free and fair elections

GEJ till 2019.

Buhari has lost

Buhari has lost

Buhari has lost yet again

Buhari has lost

Osibanjo has lost

lalasticlala:
But there is no public holiday naa

Just my thinking, you can modify the post to a question
eg Should Monday be a public holiday?

Buhari has lost

Buhari has lost.

Is this meant to be news? He will still lose eventually.
Join me and cry for Buhari
