@edcure,my bad,typo error using handheld device,please.thanks a lot. Much appreciated. Regards.

Be blessed, bro.

Did they realy think they can threaten Nigerians into voting for Jonathan?
These men pose a greater threat to the life of the nation than "Shekau". A serious government should get them arrested rather than associating itself with these terrorists and saboteurs.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKFEB 24, 2015

In a remarkable change of tone, ex-militant leaders from the Niger Delta zone who had threatened mayhem if President Goodluck Jonathan was defeated in the forthcoming presidential election, yesterday pleaded with Nigerians to vote to re-elect the incumbent president. They suggested that Mr. Jonathan be returned to office based on what they described as the noticeable achievements of his administration, noting that the opposition All Progressive Congress (APC) had waged a campaign of hate against the president.

Speaking as members of the Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiatives (LPCDI), the ex-militant figures stated that, though the media campaign against President Jonathan was filled with hatred and deceit, the Nigerian voters should support the president’s re-election based on the achievements of his administration in the areas of education, power, infrastructural development and security.

The ex-militants issued their new toned-down endorsement of Mr. Jonathan at the end of a meeting presided over by the group’s national coordinator, Reuben Wilson, popularly known as General Pastor Reuben. The meeting was held yesterday in Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State. The group called on voters to focus on Mr. Jonathan’s performance instead of the rhetoric of hate against his administration.

Briefing reporters on the outcome of their meeting, Mr. Wilson said, “we resolved to call on Nigerians, particularly eligible voters, to rate the candidates for the presidential election based on performance and eligibility. President Goodluck Jonathan has done well and he should be voted in by Nigerians for [a] second term. They should assess him based on performance and not the region he comes from.”

His tone differed from a previous stance when the group warned that they would not countenance any attempt to vote out the president, with some of their members threatening that they would shut down oil production should the president be defeated.

In their latest softened statement, Mr. Wilson told reporters, “Jonathan has done well. Why are people opposing him? Is it because he comes from the Niger Delta? Would they have shown so much hatred and insincerity if he had come from the northern part of the country? The people of the South-South and the Niger Delta are feeling bad over the rising insults and poor rating in spite of the huge achievement of the present administration. We advised the opposition party and General Buhari to come out [openly] and declare that President Goodluck Jonathan has done well.”

He added: “Nigerians should check the achievements in the areas of security, peace and development. The amnesty program under the capable hands of Honorable Kingsley Kuku has ensured that over 3,000 youths are trained on scholarship and skill acquisition. Aside from showing readiness in the battle against insurgency with the proper procurement of arms and ammunition for the military, President Jonathan has ensured the recovery of over N300 billion of stolen funds and blocked any corrupt loopholes in the system. He has done well also in the area of roads and infrastructures with the judicious use of Sure-P funds.”

The ex-militants accused state governors who defected from the PDP to APC of playing to the gallery without differentiating their achievements in office under the PDP and the APC. “These governors are deceitful. They should tell Nigerians what they have been able to achieve under the APC. They should call their people together and tell them why they should vote for their stooges in the next governorship elections under the APC. All they have achieved in the states under their control was achieved under the PDP,” the group stated.

This man called Lamido is so slippery. He understands power dynamics and definitely has read the "40 Laws of Power" by Greene. I won't be surprised if he becomes the beautiful bride for both APC and PDP

Robert Greene's book is titled "The 48 Laws Of Power". Not 40.

Good post though.

rusher14:
How much is.man's conscience worth these days

Good question for a worrisome development.
Seriously considering buying some myself cos they come so cheap.

toludadon:
This picture is just not real..how can you disguise like a woman with that bin Laden size beard? These guys should tell us another story jare not dressing up a wannabe and start forming a woman

It's easy to doubt the veracity of these pictures owing to the kind of lies coming out of the military establishments in the desperate bid to make Jonathan electable. They are now obviously partisan...you know.

tit:
the first pic looked surreal.
but the pic with him sitting down is 100%.
no wonder buhari ran to london.
his secret has been exposed.

You never cease to sound ridiculous. How could you link this to Buhari?

Put your mind in good use...and stop politicizing the armed forces.

We are winning.

Terrorists Disguise As Women As Cordon And Search Yields More Weapons
BY MAJOR GENERAL CHRIS OLUKOLADEFEB 23, 2015

The cordon and search in Baga has revealed some terrorists disguising as women.  The searches are also yielding more discoveries of arms especially bombs hidden in various locations, especially Baga town.  Apart from those captured in the course of fighting, many arrests of terrorists hiding in the town are being made and troops are still busy interrogating the suspects.

 
 Meanwhile, in furtherance of the mission to clear terrorists from all their enclaves by the military, the Nigerian Air Force has stepped up its air bombardment of identified targets in Gwoza, Bama and Sambisa forest, preparatory to other phases of the mission. The air strikes have been highly successful as they achieved the aims, hitting vital targets with required precision.  Terrorists are now in disarray as they scamper to escape from the impact of air bombardment of their locations in the forest.
 
Having successfully liberated Baga where the terrorists have been marauding, the troops’ attention has now been focused on consolidation of the security of the area to pave way for return of citizens.

Cute hairstyle.
Change is beautiful. It guarantees the best form of security.

GMB for all!

That is what is meant by compromise which Jonathan has dragged every thing into.

I believe every bit of this report.

It will be very interesting to note.
One thing is certain, their tactics and criticisms will be very ridiculous. And the absense of Federal power will expose more of their defficiencies.

Mynd44:
The same President Jonathan who gave amnesty to Alameseigha, hangs out with Bode George and Kashamu, has a religious bigot like Sambo as his vice, has said stealing is not corruption, has sat around when boko Haram killed the people he vowed to protect and the President who has seen our economy crash and external reserves fall?

I will rather vote Patience Jonathan than Goodluck

The disgusting TANkid will never respond to any of these.

lorddannie:
There is no perfect government anywhere.
Annihilate boko haram and continue with your transformation agenda. Those that are with are many more than the pigs against you.
GEJ till true federalism abounds.

Your constant TANkid rants about this "True Federalism" ish, a concept which you know absolutely nothing about, makes you easily recognizable.

You must be the trolling dunce called WhiteTechnology.

GEJ is too reckless and insensitive, very lazy and lacking in foresight.
He is an inept and coward ruler that kept postponing an inevitable war to the advantage of the enemies of Nigeria.

Now it has degenerated into a near state of no remedy, all because this country is ruled by an unassuming drunkard who is incapable of being proactive enough by launching pre-emptive offensive against a terror group.

When a war becomes inevitable, a wise man should be the first to strike and crush his enemy when the latter is less prepared.

The PDP will conveniently blame this on Boko Haram their indirect tool.

Sunnybobo3:
Another dreamer

It's not just a dream, but a reality.
Deep down in you, you know Jonathan has lost this election...unless, of course, you're just another unassuming internet troll with no knowledge of how things work.

He was saying: Use Your Votes To Silence All PDP Rascals!

OAUTemitayo:
Amen. (you didnt get the Sarcasm)

Don't be too sure

PDP compromising state institutions.

Has Jonathan produced his PhD thesis?

OAUTemitayo:
Nairalanders please i need protection from the temptation of being hijacked by PDP.
I have been receiving threats from Security agencies and PDP supporters.
I need protection so that what happened to Barcanista will not happen to me.
I need protection

God will protect & reward you if you pursue your convictions and the principles of your conscience with hardwork.

Not anymore. OBJ has joined millions of Nigerians to disown you. You are now an isolated orphan.

The enemies of Nigeria have started contradicting themselves in the killer party.

A simple & logical truth can never be defeated by a thousand lies and denials.

#ThingsMustChange!
Sai Buhari!

lacasa:
These are the real industrious Igbos
#Up BuHari
#Up APC
The haters I don't care about.

The noisemakers on Nairaland are just jobless. A reason why they keep begging for connection. They fail to realise that support for politicians and political party is far different from being a fan of a footballer or a football club whether they win a match or trophy or not.

1toRtoiSe1:
Their leaders have spoken. Let the inconsequential ibos on NL keep ranting.

They will keep ranting till they taste the actual defeat on March28.

tomakint:
'GEJ is a total failure'? and a clown like you will claim to be educated what a pity on your education

Donphillopus:
I know you love Gej and not this terrorist
Gej till 2019

Jonathan's cluelessness, incompetence, failure, lazity, recklessness & cowardice is contagious. It has eaten deep into your sense of reasoning and moral consciousness, and has impaired your ability to discern between good and bad leadership.

Flee from it while you can still be rehabilitated.

If you like post London Bridge here and claim say na GEJ achievement. Because that's what you do in GEJ's PDP.
Nigerians have decided to kick out the clueless and insensitive kleptomaniac.

GEJ is a total failure. No amount of propaganda and advertisement can change that.

AdetunjiBayo:
son of a hoe too de talk

TANoid crackpot, you need a hole in your head. It will sure dislodge the foolishness that has infested your worthless brains.

Face me with your real moniker and get your blood spilled on this thread.

Useful Iidiots celebrating the arrival of their newest associate to the herd of willfully ignorant and brutally misguided internet trolls and low-life plonkers.

1. Physical attack on any sitting President is treasonable. Iraqi Journalist Muntadher al-Zaidi was sentenced to 3 years in prison by Iraqi court for throwing his shoe at then President Bush in 2008 http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/meast/03/12/iraq.shoe.thrower/. The President is the symbol of the Government of Nigeria. Physical attack on him is an attack on the government and the people.

2. The Culprit was arrested and tortured in the detention room by Iraqi forces for what he did. He wasn't shot dead because he was immediately arrested. Had it been the pelting continued... Who knows?

3. It is not right to shoot anyone holding stones, but it is not wrong to shoot whoever pelts stones at the President to threaten his life. The life of Jonathan is as important as the life of Nigeria itself. He isn't just one Mr. Jonathan, he is President Jonathan. You cant assault a President and expect someone to clap for you.

4. Last time I checked, the President has not been reported to order the arrest of anyone that verbally abuse him, not to talk of killing.

5. It is not just constitutional it is the practice all over the world. The President is the C-in-C. The C-in-C is not just a chieftaincy title, it means every military establishment are under his control. He was elected by the people to lead them, it is the mandate of the Military to ensure that the sovereignty of Nigeria is protected and the mandate is defended. President Jonathan is not just a civilian President, he is also the Supreme Head of the Nigeria Armed Forces and every other security outfit

In your desperate bid to defend the recklessness, cowardice and insensitivity of your incompetent patron (Goodluck Jonathan), you failed to realise that the Iraqi assailant was tried on civil offence (assault) and not treason. A reason why he was given a much lighter sentence of 3years in jail.

Let me educate you further: Silvio Berlusconi was physically attacked twice while he was Prime Minister of Italy, first, in 2004 by a cameraman, and in Dec. 2009 by Massimo Tataglia. Both of which inflicted serious bruises in his face with life threathening injuries.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8411198.stm

These attackers were never shot by soldiers but were arrested by the police
They were also not tried for treason, but for civil offences of aggravated assault

Why should Jonathan continue to kill Nigerians to protect his selfish interest?
You are obviously fed up with rational thinking becauese it's not in you.

You, Banku, are the naïve cretin here. You do not know the difference between a saint & and the right man for the job.

No one calls Buhari a saint!
