₦airaland Forum

Will you call this, dinning with the enermy?
These are the same group of people too many of you fights over every single day and abuse each other because of them.
Here they are enjoying your commonwealth without you.
Obasanjo was invited, the so called enemy.
Where is your own invitation die hard GEJ fans?
This is a lesson.
Don't fight each other over wicked men and women who careless about even your very existence.

MyMouth:
Same thing here in Kastina state. The APC had to warn some aspirant under PDP and other political party to desist from using Buhari on their posters or face court action.

I do not think they can sue them. Buhari image is not an APC logo, unless Buhari take the action himself.

Gerardcole:
Trying to think this as a mistake but even if the printer made the error, the people who placed it there should know.

This cannot be true.

It is true. Trust me, this are Nigerian politicians.
Rochas did that in Imo with Jonathan in 2011.
So you better believe it, they always can sense the momentum and movement of the zion train and quickly got on board.

Yeah, he hired me to give him the money in person.
How much did Mrs Jonathan hired him for last months? He sound like he is now a kabukabu?

goodnewz4u:
Abia State is not ruled or lead by PDP, but by Theodore Orji.
So PDP didn't fail Abia (Aba) Theodore Orji failed Abia State.
....So if he wants or decides to work in Abia State, Nobody can stope him.

So it is no longer PDP's government led by TA Orji? I thought that the PDP party presented and sold him to the voters?
In 2011, it was vote GEJ not PDP and this time it's vote PDP and not T.A Orji and cronies.
Absolute comedy!

Pa Eziachi, lately i observed that you have changed from being whom you are to someone else. However, i still hold you with the highest respect as one reasonable elder. But if i must say the truth, you are becoming bias lately. You can be pro APC or you may have special connection with GMB it's just your personal thing and i have no right to question. But that shouldn't be a reason for someone like you to deny the fact that we igbos are not better served under a clueless GEJ than your almighty GMB.

Asking me about Ihejirika and Barth Nnaji. Both men served under GEJ and came out with their heads high.

I felt bad that you feel this way, but isn't that what being civilize means? That sometimes we agree to disagree. But the good news is that what I am saying today is no different from what I was saying 6 years ago or six months ago.

My main issue as an Igbo man is that I am not happy how our people allowed Jonathan, using some crooked Igbo politicians to manipulate our good nature of brotherhood to sale some fraud that Jonathan presidency is somehow interwovened with the Igbo nation.
I knew for a fact that if an Igbo man was in his position, Ijaw his people will do the opposite.

I had never advocated being a supporter of Buahri or any other Nigerian politician, but what I cannot stand is the lies and propaganda being spread about Buhari as a person which are sometimes absurd, purely based on stereotype, ethnic and religious bigotry. As an Igbo man that lived through the bad times, I knew what it was like to be labelled wrong against what you are not.

Jonathan does not need propaganda to beat Buhari if does his job for six years, but because he is desperate to be just being president, he allowed all sort of characters to suround him, hence no principle, always wanting to please everyone. No leader worth his salt want to please everyone and still remains relevant.

i enjoy this forum simply because I owe non of them loyalty, so I can say things, how I see it and how I feel. Nothing else. Sorry if we had to disagree sometimes.

atlwireles:
Every time there is a fraudulent news from baga the number is always 2,000. In 2013 the Nigerian army was accused of burning baga to the ground. Then, it was 2000 houses burnt. In 2015 is now 2000 deaths? All this propaganda will take you people no where.

Don't start another conspiracy theory.
So amnesty international, AP, Reuter, BBC are all in it?
Last I checked, you lot and your president seem to think that chibok abduction was a hoax.
Demandong to see their pictures, then their parents, then their DNA. How many buses that will be required to abduct 200+ girl? They asked
Now it's Baga's turn for your conspiracy theory. Jonathan should visit there to find out the actual number, afterall he will be asking for their vote next month.

Firefire:
Our attention is drawn to the twitter handle condemnation of the attacks on PDP faithful in Jos by General Mohamodu Buhari.

As a concern Nigerian, I state it clearly here, that mode of communication is new to the people of the north. Hence,

Twitter condemnation by buhari is not Acceptable!

How many people among his foot soldiers are on twitter?

His comments on blood and bamboo were made on BBC Hausa Service.

Until Buhari statement is broadcasted on BBC Hausa Service, He has not condemned anything.

Nigerians don't be deceived.

Not acceptable to you or not acceptable to the BBC world service?

FFK earning his garri as expected.
Feed him well and his will sing for you, said OBJ

temitopeal14:
I just wish GEJ can go to north to campaign......it will really make sense.

How can he not go to north, it is just that both candidates started their campaign in the south. If I were Jonathan handlers, he should have started in Sokoto and finish in his strongholds.

alaoeri:
Amaechi is a good strategist, taking Buhari down deep into GEJ's stronghold, APC comprises of ppl with well upstairs unlike PDP with dummies like FFK, Okupe, Asari & co. Tell me how GMB won't flog GEJ at the polls come febuary.
SAI BUHARI.

Our people are naturally hospitable people. We tend even to treat strangers better than ours. Its our culture to welcome visitors, give them kola, food and water. That doesn't mean that they will vote for Buhari come February. But you were right, about Amaechi being a good strategist.
And again money talks. Last time Buhari cannot go to all these places because of financial constraint.So he concentrated much of his campaign in his strongholds.
This time,many governors, senators and Rep members are backing his campaign both in cash and human resources. He can now afford that luxury he never had before, even with ANPP.
Just Imagine that APC can be able to field house of assembly candidates now in every single constituency nationwide with realistic chances to win, which only PDP can afford to do in the past.
These are people you need to win election, either cleanly or the Nigerian way. They call it,being on the ground.

In my opinion if this election is free and fair and that includes, no missing names, no late arrival of materials, no late start of voting or even no materials, it might go to a run off.
And if it goes into a run off, PDP will not take any chances. For Buhari to win this election, he has to win big, I mean really big.

Huffington:
There is nothing like Obi of Awka. Maybe some hungry traditional ruler somewhere in Awka.

He is still an Obi, Igwe or Eze irrespective of his crown title. Know your culture.

Amaechi's suit and red hat combo is just hilarious
That's what you call: Engligbo dressing.

ken13:
I'm not surprised at all. APC supporters up north are known to be aggressive and hostile - speaking as someone who has lived in d north.

I was told may times here, how Plateau, Nasarawa or Kogi is no longer part north, rather our twin brothers.
Make up your minds.

Plateau state and Jos isn't that supposed to be the PDP/Jonathan's supposed stronghold? So who is doing the burning, the minority or those within the majority still fuming about outcome of their primary?
Recieving the flag means, everything has been cemented.

Louislewis:
A big thanks to Papa Ekwueme for speaking the truth. He did not gasticate Jonathan in any of this statement rather than to say that, Jonathan didn't accord the respect due for him as an elderly statesman.

Why twisting something he said in plain English? We don't you interpretation of what was very simple. He said Jonathan does not appreciate his contributions to this their democracy, of which Jonathan is a benefiaryy because according to him, if he did not risk his life with Abacha, Jonathan would not have been president today. He respect and appreciates only noise makers and trouble makers. If that is not castigate, what is?

This I believe Jonathan is at fault, I was so happy that, he made it clear and sounding to the ears of Nigerians that the situation we have in Nigeria today is not the making of Jonathan.

Again he said that the situation they had today predates Jonathan contrary to what most of you insisted on saying all the time that Boko Haram simply came because of Jonathan presidency.
He then compared how the Shagari government on a number of occasions faced the insurgency head on and crushed it and how the Buhari led government that followed them did exactly the same but Jonathan did just the opposite.

ceejayluv:
They could be disappointed in T.A Orji... But to go and vote buhari is far from realistic... APC is getting less than 5% of votes in the whole southeast...

You must have known what Ekwueme doesn't. Lol
People sat on their hands and make up this percentages.

For those of my brothers who uses every opportunity spreading propaganda about how Buhari truncated your democracy, who was it that he mentioned that overthrew Shagari?

The only time he mentioned Buhari was how Buhari followed up Shagari government's in eliminating the insurgency in Borno.

menesheh:
But later investigations spring up the true nature of the attack and the motive

So you had a president that talk or point fingers without finding out the facts first?
And can change his story when it suits him. Intelligent gets their fact first before talking because of the consequences of doing so.
That's not the sort of liability person you want as a leader when you cannot put any trust in his words.
Today he is blackmailing individuals as Boko Haram sponsors probably without any proper investigation and facts, then tomorrow he will be singing another tune.

9jaIhail:
I might have gone a bit tribal in my submission above but mind you, Nigeria politics is all about tribal/regional interest and it's a high time we igbos think more about igbo interest rather than nationalist.

How does Jonathan presidency translate into an Igbo interest?
What happened to our Gen Ihejirika and Barth Nnaji with GEJ?

Numismatic:
And I sampled the opinion of more than 6 commercial keke drivers and all of them said the will never vote for buhari, I also asked them if they will vote and if they have their voters cards, all answered in affirmative..funny thing is was that I asked them if they are aware that Buhari was coming to Owerri, they all shouted, to do what!..buhari can never win in the south east! Whether you want to believe it or not , let's wait till february, no need to be arguing here

Show us the certificate of this opinion poll of yours.

iiichidodo:
[color=#1980BC] Stale?..like hell you wish.It is best your demi-god clear the air about his stark illiteracy.A blind man cannot lead a nation of the one-eyed. [/color]

It was never any worthy news to start with from the beginning, except for lazy folks who cannot defend their 16 years record in government.
It's like asking GEJ to show you his PHD thesis.

WORLDPEACE:
Until they start giving us light they are still NEPA.

seriously, Nigerians are comedians.

ogene007:
Ikpeba has just one vote, we are not bothered. GEJ till 2019.

So do you and calamity Yobo

ovadoze:
Noooooooo, Rotimi u are Ikwerre not Igbo abeg which part of Igboland if I may ask is Rotimi from, we re not supporting GEJ because he bears Igbo name(s) and his own Ebele is not even Igbo..........

The part of Igboland called Ikwerre. The rest being Ngwa, Orsu, Ijejebee, Wawa, Owerre, Ogboo, Igbo Ariam etc . Learn your history.

Chibuike Amaechi, nwunnem, We knew that you are Igbo even before your birth.
It's a pity that it took some political expediency for you to acknowledge what you are by birth and blood.
It is funny that those who spent ages here on Nairaland and other forums arguing how Ikwerre is not Igbo, will be lining up now to hail him, again because of the same political convenience.
As for Jonathan, he is as an Igbo man as I am a red Indian.

Ecobidi:
Yobo is a wise guy joor at least the guy knows the difference between victory and defeat. How do you expect him to support a serial loser like Buhari. GEJ all the way. GEJ TILL 2019

He does not have to openly endorse any candidate if he is not ready to be ridiculed by those opposed to Jonathan.
It's always skin crawling when empty headed celebrities get involve in politics.
If he wasn't empty upstairs, what on earth motivated him saying that AFGON was won because of GEJ, when Nigeria AFGON non qualifications is still raw among young people and Nigeria football fans?
It didn't even occur to him or did someone asked him to say that?
That's clueless.

olaric:
While most of us may not agree with what Yobo has said, at least we must all agree he has a right to free speech and to pitch his tent with whom he likes.

You are right, unfortunately he said that he is speaking in behalf of all the youths of Nigeria not for himself.
First of a'll, he is not a youth but a grown a.s.s man. Secondly, no 0-13 years old ever elected him to speak in their behalf.
And a guy of 30 something calling himself a youth, what are his children?

appini:
Ikpeba does not deserve to be a member of a society of men and women.

And you were in love with Yobo, just only yesterday.

Mr Bastard Okupe had being quiet recently. It seems he is out to fight for his job from FFK. Has anyone heard or seen Reuben Abati recently?

Obiagelli:
buhari being conferred with the title Ogbuagu 1(The
Lion Killer) of Aba by Enyi of Aba in Abia.

Gosh his tailor and wardrobe must be very busy.

BENZINA:
Buhari falls sick: cancels campaign in Benin.
Ahaaaaaa still laughing, ahaaaaaaaa.
Serial looser don't go and kill youself Oooo old soldier.

Are you really this psychopathic?
I have never seen some one v be so delighted about hearing that another person is ill. All in the name of politics and politicians that cared less about your very existence.
