Lol. Bitter? Its more like "Pity". Beast

lol, pity is given somebody a position they don't merit. I hope your pea size brain can fathom that. Clown

ziccoit:
So "oderemi Buhari" GEJ and Ribadu were the only contestants abi? You didn't see anything good in others. You people even didn't allow the GEJ victory went the natural way. You heavily rigged him in, the record that have never happened in our political history. I hate the hypocrites.

GEj just told you your votes/rigging are useless. After all, you have been paid.

And you, why didn't you cast your vote for the person of your choice? You and you over 8 million lazy voters would rather dream and hope that the poll go their way rather than come out vote. Now are being helped to stand on your feet, rather than appreciate the gesture, you ingrate will rather be true to type. What rigging are you talking about? The one your protege and father obj enthroned in Ogun state,nay, Nigeria, in 2003?

Where were you then? Or as a bigot you are cool, if your brother engage in broad day robbery? And then you think others will be like him. Anyway we have gone beyond those type of elections, you better wake up and smell the coffee. The 2011 elections were free and fair, despite. You opinion is irrelevant to the result by the way.

[size=14pt]So long as we talk of zoning, Nigeria cannot be a Nation but simply a country.
A Nation is a Monolithic consolidated united group of different tribes fused into one.
A country is a geographical enclave where different tribes maintain their differences.


Why[b] many[/b] of us subscribed to the BB workplan was because it was out to replace the demonic 'state of origin' with 'state of residence'.

Obama relocated to Illinois State after school. He later represented Illinois State in the Senate. He wasn't born there neither did he grow there. We cannot remain rooted in our roots and expect Nationhood.
In sports, like the falconets/Super falcons, more than 90% of the girls are Igbos    

No-one complains that they didn't select from his own senatorial zone. All we want is a monolithic united team that wins.
But in appointing the best set of Leaders who will determine the quality of life you live, you throw merit and competence to the dust. You hear all sorts of rubbish like 'HIS ZONE PRODUCES THE OIL'!

May God help you all![/size]

[b]Few [/b]of you you mean to say. Because available data suggests that very few enlighten voters supported the BB project, simply because they dont believe that the former despot has the intelligence to move the country in the right direction (despite the hue and cry of the loud minority). Now if any group feel that GEJ is not pandering to their expectation, well that understandable. But this should not be misconstrued to mean regret.

I will still cast my vote for him if there is a rerun as we speak. And it is not tribalism, I believe in his power reform program for a start. Any other thing he does (or not) is secondary.

bk.babe97y:
Ibo man: Theres nothing like "ILKS"; its "ILK" even if its a thousand Ibo men gathered around, munching away, at the recently dead body of a human being!

It still does not explain why you are so bitter about Igbos. Grow up little man!

dayokanu:
To correct the notion, SE didnt vote for Abiola, majority of SE votes went to bashir Tofa

Fine, and the last time you checked? Those were Igbos?
A tribalistic Igboman voted for Tofa, and later Obansanjo?

Give me break with your tribal rants and look for some other argument. In most cases tribalists are often the first to shout tribalism.

bk.babe97y:
Lmao! Do you beasts even know what it means to "vote"?!

I person thumbprinting voters' cards for 10,000 people is not a vote. . . .

In a normal world youve perpetuated a big FRAUD!!!!

Thats what you beasts did. You placed your bets on a fraud, and a fraud is what u'll get in return!

Your father, the biggest beast in the land, taught you to do that, and that is why you will always remain bitter. And then the rest of your beastly ilks thought they could win Nigeria election on Nairaland. Intelligentsia my foot!

Ileke-IdI:
Nigerian men, irrespectable of ethnicity, are weak in general. Such a shame.

Back to topic,

You ppl should stop this whinny attitude. Decision has not yet been made.

This is a lesson; tribalism gets you nowhere. Your hate for a Northerner/ your ethnic bigotted attitude made you vote for GEJ and also made you expect something in return.

My friend, why dont you shut up for a while? You keeping churning out tribalism this, tribalism that in all your thread. You are a strong purveyor of hate. You are very incitement and very bitter person. What is really wrong with you?

There are over 6 million registered voters in Lagos alone. If they truly believe in the Buhari or Ribadu project (as you want us to believe) why did the not turn up and vote for him? Why stay away? Were they bought? Were they intimidated? Certainly not.

So should I in turn claim that SW not voting for Buhari is tribalism? Or they were not educated enough to know that the stake is high?
That PDP is gracious to consider giving the Speaker position to SW should not be use to disrespect any one, zone or whip up primordial sentiment. Igbo's made no mistake votiing for GEJ. They believe in him, and if he fails them, no big deal. But there is nothing to regret.

Buhari specifically can never win election in Igboland and that is not due to tribal sentiment. We have seen him in action and we dont believe he is the messiah. If the election were to be held next month, we will still vote for GEJ (speaker or no speaker). So get over that!

Ujujoan:
I was heart broken when I saw ndi Igbo massively voting GEJ . . .  It's obvious that his government would NOT favours. Why no just damn the consequences and vote the best candidate   

It's sad but I think the Igbos are gradually becoming a minority tribe! 

GEJ was and is still the best candidate. Igbos did not vote him based on tribal reasons. Igbos did not support Buhari because of his antecedent. Not many tribes or people support Ribadu (because of his inexperience). If the elections were to be held again, we will still vote massively for GEJ. So it was no mistake, it was a choice. If GEJ does not appreciate it so be it!

We vote Abiola, we voted Obansanjo, and we voted Yar Adua, so I see not tribalism as many would allude here. We chose to vote GEJ because at the moment he is the best.

And all those who are complaining about not being give the speakership position should remember that President Obansanjo could not tar the road to his own village. Etteh and Bankole were glorified shameless thieves who could impact their constituency. So I wonder what is so important about this. Economic power in the end is much better than political power (, money answereth all things). So chill people, besides Nigeria is not ending today. And if it does, live goes on.

And pls ignore the SW tribal bigots here. They can't even boast of who they voted for. Imagine pple who could not even vote for the so called better candidate coming to tell you that you voted for the wrong person. Buhari lost woefully even in the SW, was that also due to tribalism as our ITK SW brothers keep muting about the SE votes?

So why didn't the South West Vote for Buhari? Let me guess, they didn't know what they want? Or is the classic case of cowardice?

Very interesting thread.

Some of us talk as if Nigeria will end today. Anyway, like Ojukwu will say: Good Morning, Nigeria.

Can we have a poll?

loco4love:
Leaving Nigeria is possible but you have to prepare for the worst possible scenario. I support separatist groups who want to leave becos Nigeria is just a kleptocratic vampires victim. The threat of civil war is real more than ever before. I support Yorubas and Igbos and Ijaws and other tribes who want to leave but you have to cooperate becos if you try to go it alone like the Biafran War the chances will be very slim.

For example let us take Sudan and the Civil War for southern independence from the North. In Southern Sudan there are a number of different tribes speaking their own languages but they work together to fight for a common cause. Take their good example to heart and you will be on the way to success and independence.

Please speak for yourself, and be under no illusion, Igbo have not said in recent times that they are want to leave Nigeria. I have my doubt the Ijaws want to leave anytime soon. All the ethnic groups have contributed so much sweat and blood to ensure the unity of Nigeria. And frankly speaking we are just about to start enjoying the dividend of one Nigeria, that many people fought and died for. The fact that the again SW finds itself in opposition should not be used as a excuse to assume others are tired of Nigeria.

Nigeria is working, and we must ensure it continues to work. All these loud ethnic nationalities talk from a section of the country will not get us anywhere. Nigeria is ONE INDIVISIBLE entity.  We should continue to strengthen the nation, not weaken it.

Ukeoma Aikfavour: "Na wao! This CPC supporters would hv killed me yesterday, no see threat oooo. Even after forcing underaged voters on me they wanted me to give them the remaining ballot paper to thumb print. Thank God for the police and am happy i could stand for God and my nation. To all corps members who stood despite these threats esp. In the north bravo! Nigeria! Our change has come." Sunday at 06:48 via Mobile Web

clear evidence of who rig the elections, not only did they rig, after that, they killed the young man in cold blood!!  blood on the hands of buhari and the cpc!!!

Yes , this is a clear evidence; from beyond, a fallen hero has pointed finger at his possibly murderers,  Inspector General over to you. 

Now here is what the authorities shld do next.


1.  Find out from INEC which Polling Unit Ukeoma Aikfavour was posted to on the day of Presidential elections
2.  Find out which CPC agents (from the registers) were posted to same venue
3.  Arrest those agents on charges of election rigging, intimidation, hateful incitement (and with more evidence - murder)
4.  There should be a public trial of the suspects
5.  They should also find out where Ukeoma Aikfavour lived and arrest suspected extremists around the place.

This is very sad, impunity in dastard acts of this nature cannot continue.

One vote for two 'honest' instigators - BB for jail terms.

lagbaja:
PDC is an unknown party, but is listed just before PDP in the ballot papers. A lot people made mistakes of casting their votes for PDC when they actually intended voting PDP. this is why PDC results are higher than most other unknown parties. Statiscally, PDC votes as a percentage of PDP votes should be similar across the country. This should be very informative of the credibilty of results posted across the country. while this figure is about 0.57% in lagos, it is as low as 0.1% in anambra and some south-east and south-south states. You can draw your inferences from this analysis

The only inference I can draw from this is that it accounts for difference in education (literacy level). The average South Easterner is literate. Literate pple will make fewer mistakes. Lagos state is a melting pot of people in Nigeria - literates, semi-literate and illiterate (if I may continue to look at it from the angle. This mix is likely to produce the kind of deviation noted i.e. higher level of mistake!

Evil Brain:
At themy polling centre in Surulere, most of the PDP voters are fat ibo women.

Be civil. It's people like you that blame others for their own mistakes.

ziccoit:
Policy making and impeccable planning wise, Nigeria is a country to doff the cap for as we have human resources that could do the job, but in the area of who could keep the machine running nonstop Nigeria is found wanting.

 Institutionalisation, yes. That is the word. My brother, don't be deceived, there is no a single government agency in this country that has not been institutionalised. If I am correct, by institutionalised means making a social order to continuing running even when those who set it off are gone?

 I am now picking on your words. You mentioned NAFDAC and DORA. OBJ/PDP appointed DORA. She left to join the PDP government of Yar'dua/GEJ. Do you think he didn't have hand in appointment of her successor? Compare this to your second example. OBJ/PDP appointed RIBADU. He was sacked and witch-hunted by PDP gov of Yar'dua/GEJ. Do you think Ribadu had hand in appointment of his successor? Was his advice sought?

 To make all this clearer. OBJ with a political will to fight fake drugs, appointed DORA who spent 8 years and who should have acquired wealth  of experience. On leaving, she recommended her successor who she knew would do a great job and the organisation (NAFDAC) carries on what she started.

 In the case of Ribadu. OBJ with political 'will' to fight the corruption appointed Ribadu who spent 8 years and must have acquired a great deal of experience. He was pushed to retirement by another PDP government who don't have political will to fight corruption and a stooge of this government is installed. So, what institutionalisation are we now talking about.

 Everybody has the free will to vote for his candidate of choice but this should not be premised on falsehood to deceive the people. Search deep your mind and you will definitely find out why you support your candidate. Weather for selfish or general interest.

I rest my case.

Good you agree that there is noting wrong with building lasting institutions. In your attempt to jump into Ribadu's defence, your rather worsen his case. Ribadu and Dora were both offered a thankless task - rid the nation of bad elements. What's more, you said they had same number of years to do the job. However in the case of Ribadu, he was simply overzealous, reckless, and selective in his approach. He went further by turning himself into attack dog for Obj. EFCC was not only synonymous with Ribadu, Ribadu was indeed EFCC. He used EFCC to project himself and his paymaster Obj and his cronies; and he broke the laws of the land with reckless  abandon, with arbitrary arrests and so on. He thought Obj will get a third term and never bothered to plan for succession. That he failed to plan for succession because the Yar Adua  government sacked him after 8 years is, mildly put, lame. He lacked foresight then, and even now.


The same cannot be said in the case of Dora. Dora set up building structures and mechanism that will allow NAFDAC to function even in her absence. Though she also sold her image as that of woman of integrity and and all that. She at least did not fail in planning for her exit.

I don't even know who is in charge of NAFDAC now, but everyone know they are still doing a good job. That is not the case with EFCC even though Ribadu had enough time make a functional institution of EFCC with the political capital he was given.

Back to the thread.

In term of institution building, foresight and planning, I really believe Jonathan [/b]will perform like Dora. Meticulous planning and automated long term execution. Dividend will flow long after he is gone.

[b]Buhari [/b]will simply be like Ribadu; he will make so much noise about issues; administer his knee jerk solutions and inflame the system. When he leaves with no structure in place for continuity, the void he creates will be filled by the same system he tried to confront.

Nigeria needs planners and administrators, not a fire brigader and career presidential aspirant!

That is why GEJ will be voted in tommorow

ziccoit:
History and culture make invaluable impact on our embodiments as human being. Historically, Yoruba has a history that connect everybody together as one big family. Political wise, we all knew the political roles of Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of oyo in the Yoruba empire.
 
 In the recent time, what Awo has effected in the SW politically has not been met, not to mention being surpassed, by anybody so far. SW allows the incursion of any political party that carry the legacy of Awo which are simply accountability and good governance. PDP is far from being a party with accountability and good governance. It has being tested and found wanting.

 So, this issue is not about nationalisation it is about seriousness of our leaders to the led.

Awo this, Awo that! SW this, SW that! Yoruba this, yoruba that! That is why tribalism has refused to die in Nigeria. What exactly did Awo achieve for Nigeria except to entrench tribal sentiment in SW. Awo is not popular across the continent as other important political figure, like Patrice Lumumba, Nkrumah of Ghana or Zik of Africa. Pls you guy should get over this Awo thing already, it is getting boring.

We are fighting for the future of Nigeria, not just the SW. Awo did nothing for Nigeria, and I can hardly see his contribution to the SW except of course you bask in the euphoria of tribalism the he entrenched.

AND ROUND ONE GOOOEEEESSS TOOOO. . . . . . ZICCOIT!!!!

Here is another bigoted awoist.

londoner:
@emeka_gh, it seems the Igbo's are the only set of people who have to prove their lack of tribalism by voting massively for party that is from different region.


SW can vote overwhelmingly for ACN, and the North can vote overwhelmingly for CPC, but Igbo's have to vote a party which is not synomous with the East,  even when those parties may not even have bothered to aggressively campaign in the Eastern states.

Igbo's are expected to "prove" that they are for Nigeria, because there may be a suspicion where Igbos are concerned IMO.

Nigerians need to vote based on issues and with a realistic expectation of the administration they may be voting for, that goes for all Nigerians not just igbos.

Igbos have nothing to prove to anyone. And I don't agree they vote for party. The Igboman vote for policy and issues not for parties. Besides, I didn't know that the PDP is from South Eastern region. That is new to me. If the Igbo refused to vote for CPC, it means that either they dont agree with the issues presented by them. How about the Yoruba's what stopped then from voting for CPC? I never heard you say anything about suspicion.

The igboman is the least tribal (apolitical), otherwise they would have only voted for APGA (you conveniently ignored that fact.)

Again, Igbos have nothing to prove to no-one, and the Igbos believe in ONE NIGERIA in unmatched, that is why you find them everywhere!

Orikinla:
Buhari would have beaten Jonathan silly in a more civilized country where corruption is not tolerated like in Ghana or Botswana.

Majority of Nigerians are corrupt and like leaders who love corruption.

The people from the South East will vote for EBELE AZIKIWE, because he is also one of their own.

Only enlightened Igbos who abhor corruption will vote for Buhari.

Ok. I am an enlightened Igbo man, nay Nigerian; I abhor corruption; nepotism and and tribalism.
However, when it comes to fighting corruption I prefer institutional changes rather than personalities cults.
(Two examples if you care, Ribadu and Dora Akunyili. Ribadu fought corruption all by himself, when he left things fell apart. Dora established NAFDAC as strong fake drug fighting institution. Today long after Dora's exit, NAFDAC is still waxing strong without name dropping. Be fair which approach is better?

Buhari claims he has the personality and that he is stole no money, good for him. But he conveniently left out the fact that 'stealing' power by the gun is serious form of corruption in itself. One that has set many African countries, Nigeria inclusive, many year backward (Lagos metro-line readily comes to mind) .

Personal I believe GEJ is better at enrolling institutional changes, which will outlive him. That is what Nigeria needs, not quick fix.

'Nigeria, nay, Africa need strong institutions not strongmen' - GEJ is the man to do this job.

He has given us two - three road maps in less then 10 months (Power, Gas, Water),  how many has Buhari initiated in his entire political career spanning 3 decades.

So actually, enlightened people have weighed all the candidates, and realised that GEJ is the best among the contenders. So get it out of your system, not every Igboman,  Ijaw man,  Yoruba or Hausa man (all Nigerians) are voting along ethnic lines, whether they vote for GEJ or not. Let us quit insulting the choice of the voters.

My two kobo.

koruji:
@ekt_bear
This is the entire point.

Ribadu has given his all and must have known that his support base was not what it was billed to be. Politics of substance has not fully arrived in Nigeria - if he stays with ACN they can jointly, slowly build that together. That is all he can hope for.

It was like yesterday, when Atiku jumped from PDP into ACN and became its presidential candidate, again without a base - only to jump back into the PDP at the slightest opportunity. Instead of really working with Tinubu to build up ACN in the north when they had time on their hands, Buhari relied on his soldier-go-soldier-come approach, and did not get very far, even in the north.

One thing is sure - PDP's corrupt hold is strong. GEJ may indeed win this election, but Nigerians better wake up - otherwise we are in for a great disappointment.

Ribadu has always been my candidate, but Nigeria does not seem ready - maybe we haven't suffered enough just yet.  Or perhaps we have a miracle coming on Saturday with a President-Elect Ribadu.

You guys don't get it! And perhaps will not get it until Sunday morning!

1.  Some Nigerians are not comfortable with PDP but most of them are.
2.  Most Nigerians who are not comfortable with PDP have high hopes in GEJ
3.  Some Nigerians will vote for PDP, many will vote for GEJ
4.  Buhari is a hard sell; South West are only selling Bakare (who incidentally is not sellable across the Nation and to international community)
5.  Ribadu is clueless; too young and too loud; Buhari is power drunk dictator; Usurper then, attempting to usurp the youth now; Tinubu called him "Expired", meaning he is toxic, poisonous.
6.  GEJ was loved by at least 80% Nigerians at the peak of his ascension; perhaps he has lost 20% but his is still popular; He has national appeal.
7.  Agreement or not, 90% of 'non-indigenes' (trust me, they are many) will vote for GEJ in Lagos (3m at least) (ACN is not as strong as they want to make us believe in the  southwest)
8.  Voting for GEJ (or the  new PDP) will amount to progress, prosperity and consolidations of Nigeria's growth
9.  An economy that grew by over 8% (in GDP) in difficult period is a well managed econony; the reserves are growing again contrary to what opposition liars would want us believe.
10.   Nigerians will be very pleased if GEJ wins (those that will be disappointed are the BB fanatics, and they are in the minority.

Nigerians love GEJ, that is why BB, Tinubu, Ribadu are the losers.

When your enemies are busy shooting at themselves don't get in the way
So while the 'intelligentsia' are busy squabbling on something as simple as political alignment and agreements.

GEJ is busy tiding up loose ends;

But they are the 'intelligentsia'   and GEJ is the 'dummy' (Is that not what they claim)

Hopefully we will see if the 'intelligentsia' can out-think the 'dummy.'


'Surely they will gather, but most assuredly they will scatter'
Intelligentsia ko, intelli-jesha ni.

Nigerians know a smart leader that is why . . .
. . . GEJ  will wins!

babwilms:
Who ever votes for jonathan is a fool, he has nothing to offer this Nation. Whoever that associates themself with the likes of Obasanjo, Anenih, Gbenga Daniel and co can never do anything positive for this nation. Under his presidency:
1) We've had 12 bomb blast across the nation and he could not do anything about it or prosecute the offenders. Can three bomb blast happen in a developed country and the President or the Chief Security Officer still keep their job? No
2)The Jos Crisis is there and he cannot find solution to it. The fact is that he knows the people behind this things but decided to look the other way.
3)Has a president who is suppose to defend out constitution, he has withdrew dozens of corrution charges from the court.

Though he has delivered a free and fair election to certain level but that should not mean we should vote for him. Let us think well before voting for this man. He is so dull him and his VP. The VP cannot even deliver his state to PDP, that his a big shame and insult. He should just change him.

Ok sir, please in your register for fools, tick my name. Let me be the first fool to vote for GEJ. I will only be foolish voting for GEJ.
So tell me, how about those who vote for the semi-literate ex-president whose only plan for Nigeria is to scare investors away by probes, probes, and more probes?

What will you call those youth who ignore able bodied men with fresh ideas and good intention to pitch the tent with a tribalistic grandfather, whose time as an ex-military president was spent enthroning tribalism?

What name will call those who dance to the musical tune of the senile tyrant, who after supervising an organised treasury looting during his time as PTF chairman sang that "Abacha never stole!"?

Well at least I am a fool voting for GEJ, the chosen one, not a lunatic, or clueless follower of a Jihadist and known ethnic bigot.

If a foolish man pitches his tent with a winner in a winning team, what will you call those losers, who are grasping at straws in a sinking ship?

Please you need not answer, Saturday will dawn upon us already - wiseguy!

A vote for GEJ is a vote for GEJ. If PDP cannot convince GEJ do rig the the election or at least rig in Obasanjo Bello, or Bankole, the it means the evil men in PDP like Obj cannot have their way any longer. And they cannot even get ministerial appointment since PDP is not in absolute majority in the National Assembly.

This election is about good individuals, and that is why PDP still managed to win. If PDP presents a good candidate, Nigerians will vote for him.her as they have done. GEJ has delivered on one of the most important area for the Nigerian masses. He has shown us that incumbency power or not, our vote counts, and are counted. This is clearly a break from the past. Nigerians will not listen to scare mongering or ant-GEJ forces who keep saying negative trash about GEJ - a man that has kept his words.

What exactly is the opposition offering us, other than probes, and probe, and more probes?

- How are they going to pursue this probe thing? Who and who will they probe and how?

- What is the time frame for the probe? 1 year, 2, 3 or 4?

- Do they have a road map for fight against corruption?

- What happens to Nigeria economy during these period of endless probes?

- How long shall we wait for electric power while the probe lasts?

- Will they stick to the reform programs of the Yar' Adua/GEJ administration if they win?

- Do the oppositions have any blueprint for greater Nigeria?

Is there anyone who can answer these questions for the BB or Ribadu team?

vedaxcool:
Bro, I can call you bro right! yo failed to substantiate your point, it is beyound having the last word. I thank GOD Nigerians eye don dey clear well well. A vote for GEJ is a vote for is a vote for the PDP an occultic usurper of power and dignity of the Nigerian people

So all the people who voted for PDP members across the country voted for 'occultic usurper of power'? I thought we you lots were saying it about 'individuals' not party? So GEJ as in individual is 'occultic' right? Hmmmn, there is no level of paralogism that won't be bandied around by anti-GEJ.

Let me ask you about issues that concerns as a voter:

Where does your man (BB or Ribadu) stand on Power?

- Will he continue or dump GEJ power roadmap? If not what is his alternative plan?
- What is his take on GAS Revolution roadmap?
- Will he continue reform of banking sector as under Goodluck?
- Besides fighting corruption, what else is he bringing to the table?

TopAnalyst:
Don't be decieved.

Voting GEJ is like maintaining the status quo. If we truly want a change, we must sweep him along with this tsunami.
Remember that he might be a good man with good intentions, but he is on the wrong (and devilish) platform called PDP.

A vote for GEJ will return all the LOOTING FACES (bank ole, iya bobo, omi to sore, etc) back to power in the form of Ministers, Special Advisers and Ambassadors. What do we get at the end ZERO - because the party continues.

SO LET US JOIN HANDS TO UPROOT PDP THIS COMING SATURDAY FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR US AND COMING GENERATIONS!!!

PDP does not have absolute majority in the National Assembly, so even if Jonathan nominates them, it up to the National Assembly to accept them or not.

That is the beauty of free and fair election, the will of the people will reign even at the national assembly. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has changed Nigeria forever simply by allowing INEC do her job without undue interference. Goodluck has changed PDP forever,  strategically isolating the bad eggs for the people to deal with.

GEJ is simply a breath of fresh air.

Vote whom you like, GEJ is not desperate for power, that is why I will vote for him.

dayokanu:
^^ I am anti PDP and I am all for any party that weakens the PDP and in all honesty in Nigeria you need a party that would fight your sectional interest and not some Idealistic National party.

PDP doesnt care about anybody except for their few rich cabals which cut across all region.

I have even advocated Igbos supporting Orji Kalu and his PPA to just get rid of PDP and later treat Kalus "Fork-up" as an internal issue.

Let Kalu be the loud-mouth, Political strategist and attack dog. Peter Obi is too mild even talks effeminately (Make he see Ojuyobo for some wraps of weed )

In Nigeria you need "rogues" like Tinubu and Kalu.

If not for the roguish tendencies of Tinubu, OBJ would have taken us for a ride in the SW and we would never have a Fashola etc

Imagine? What interest can the PDP have for you.

In the SW,

AC presented Fashola PDP presented Koro (Check the gap in intelligence),

ACN presented Ajmobi PDP presented Akala   (Nuff said)

And many other examples. I think Ojukwu could have done it for APGA but he is old and the new generation are weaklings who suck up to PDP

I would be happy if ACN have SW, SE have any party they can call theirs who fight for their interest specifically not the all comers one,

Thats the nature of the beast called Nigeria, The mainstream politics have nothing to offer common men. The best progress was made in the time of regional parties

So you are advocating that we run to 'rogues' and criminals for safety, while running away from other rogues? You want us to shun national parties for regional ones in the name of what again - regional interest, aka ethnicity?

And in your own understanding, we made a lot of progress when we voted according to regional lines? Please remind us of those progress again? Civil war? Military rules? Corruption?

My friend, this kind of tribal advocacy has gotten us no where (except if you think entrenching tribalism, and a civil war is good thing). The Igbo you claim to know so well, know themselves better than you (I am not sure if you have ever lived south east). Your one size fits all solution (run to the rogues and criminal for salvation) will not gain traction with the people you are selling it to. Igbos are NOT tribalists, I thought you should have be known by now.

When Nigerians, are dumping stinking politicians like Obj, Kalu, etc you are advocating a return to them. Can't good people achieve big things (like Jonathan is currently striving to)?.  I wish you goodluck, with your Godfather - Tinubu.

Time will tell.

Clueless

Wise

Refer to the picture on page one.

Shouldn't the man in the picture be coming out from the 'state house', perhaps in company of other compromised journalists?
Why is he alone, with a nondescript bag, heading into the 'state' instead of out of the place.

Secondly, does it mean that if I can 'manufacture' similar pictures with BB souvenirs,  handset, laptop, and hard currency, BB is doing worse?

This is just a lame attempt at calumny. A six year old can do a better job.

For this lame attempt, GEJ will surely garner more votes.

May Goodluck be our portion, now and in the coming years. Say 'Amen' Nigeria
