FOLLOWJESUS:
I just want to say this for those who are not spiritual anough to take caution and mind what they say,People who talk any how will end up aquring any how problems, we are in democracy and freedom of speach is alowed but that does not mean that some body will open his or her mouth and vomite anything without minding. Let me line up this points for those who have ears to hear and those who have mind to reason.The emergence of GEj as d president of Nigeria is devine, the hand of GOD is very visible in his case, there is no dout about it. And I know that GOD can never make mistakes.Now listen if you believe this, and you call GEJ clueless it means you are saying GOD himself is clueless,You call him woman raper drunkered,you are saying GOD has made a mistake and you are directly refaring to GOD, "The foolishness of GOD is wiser than men and the weakness of GOD is stronger than men.I pity those who are runing their mouth like Obj because they are maiopic and doesn't remember GOD before they talk.David was chosen by GOD among his better placed brothers and went for David who was a bush boy,and those who opposed him incure the wrath of GOD,I see the hand of GOD in the life of Jonathan, he maintain the principle of GOD for those whom he (GOD) will always fight for, those who abuse him and call him names he never cause them back and that is very very dengerouse, by so doing he exposes them to the wrath of GOD,"who says hold your peace and I will fight for you",Be careful quick to hear but slow to speak that is my advice.LET the will of GOD be done during the electionm[color=#990000][/color]

And who is this your god that you are referring to? I knew for sure that the so called Nigerian voters elected Jonathan as president and not any of your gods. I know for sure that you don't have God's email address or phone numbers for him have told you.
Yes the proper God does not make mistakes and as you can witness, if he does how come Hitler, Mugabe, Saddam, Abacha and Bush's of this world smells and tested power?
I know that some of you are religious but lack genuine accurate knowledge of the true God in heaven and lacked true spirituality, hence should stop treating God like a McDonald Restaurant toilet. Something you visit only when you are desperate.

No world leader was divinely elected or annoited by God with some vote cast by immoral human beings.

God did not annoit King David or later Jesus as king through human elections, especially the manipulated one for that matter.
Please go out there to campaign, canvass and work hard towards your choice of candidates in this election to succeed and stop mocking God.

APC minions come and tell us ur own version of the cost and benefit of the railways to the development of nigeria economy.

Their response may be that the Jonathan high speed train doesn't seem to be running towards the East at all, despite the 99% polling turn out and 99% votes collected.

The united Yoruba brotherhood in action.
I thought they said it is the Igbos that are disunited? That word unity is a fallacy.

Why do people, especially Nigerians call every 4 x 4 SUVs (Four wheel drive) car a jeep?
There are no such thing as Toyota, Nissan, Mercedes or Hummer Jeep. Jeep is a brand of its own with models like Pathfinder and Wrangler.
Its so annoying, especially among those that should know better.

marvelousabah:
we shouldn't make comments base on sentiment on political matters...we need to be sincer on our stance on national matters,this is not romance.so wen u say we have 4 president,it surprises me,bcs the constituetion knows only one.

Am only quoting OBJ, the man that installed Jonathan as your leader. I am sure OBJ know your so called constitution and Jonathan more than you and me. If you have issue with the statement, there is a taxi to Otta farm, go there and take it out with him.
If you have forgotten: the issue is that Okupe called his boss or likened him to Jesus Christ. That is the issue of this thread.

I know how hard it is trying to manage one woman (mrs) So, It must be a burden competing and sharing the presidency with four women and you are the least of the five.

Advise your boss JESUS to quit if he finds this burden so hard to carry at the same time with trying to win an election and concentrate on the election.
Jonathan as Jesus Christ? That is taking a biscuit
On power his boss promised three years ago? I blame it on 35 years old equipment at Ikeja.
On the Insurgency in the North East? I blame it on the governor because he goes to London and Lagos but refuse to visit my boss.
On the Chibok girls? I blame it on collateral damage because in wars rape and kidnapping does happen. (Even though he initially claimed that it was a hoax and was asking for the pictures of the girls)

People do not understand the burden this president is bearing. He’s like Jesus Christ. He’s bearing the burden of everybody,” Okupe said while commenting on the state of the nation on Sunrise Daily.

According to him, the efforts of the government in fighting the Boko Haram insurgency as well as in power were being hindered by external factors, even as the nation gears up for the 2015 elections, which Okupe said would be impossible for Jonathan to lose.

“I can’t see GEJ losing this election; It’s not possible.”

On managing serious challenges in Nigeria and also campaigning for a second term in government, Okupe noted that “the beauty of executive is being able to multitask,” which he said was one quality the President had.

However, there have been complaints concerning two major issues – security and power.

On electricity, Okupe explained that Nigeria has been “under-powered” for many years, noting that in Ikeja, Lagos State, the electrical infrastructure on ground is about 35 years old.

He admitted that “power is a problem”, which was why the government was working to improve generation and distribution, through the power reform.
He also noted that the equipment were expensive which had caused the private owners to borrow billions of dollars. “We are not there yet but we are certainly on an irreversible road to better power supply,” he further insisted.

Asked why the government did not first work on changing equipment before increasing generation, which also costs money, Okupe said that there was a limit the government could do as power was controlled 100% by the private sector.

“In the power situation, we are not there yet. We are definitely on a road that cannot change,” he emphasised, hinting that the government is working on huge dam projects to allow the private owners work effectively on distribution.

He also claimed that government efforts were being sabotaged by politicians who sponsor vandals to attack gas pipelines.

“We noted that there were 10 NIPP projects which were performing below 50 per cent”, he disclosed, alleging that some persons were making sure they underperformed so as to make the government appear incompetent.

He, however, added that the rate of sabotage had reduced in the past year.

On the state of security in Nigeria’s North East region, Okupe commended the government’s efforts, noting that all aspects of the war against terror, including funding, administration were being worked upon.

“Today, the Nigerian Army is in total and perfect control,” of North East, he added.

On the recent comments made by Governor of Borno State, Okupe said the governor “never fails to amaze me”, adding that majority of problems of insurgency was situated in his state but he was travelling to Lagos, London and other nations, to discuss insurgency but failed to meet the President on the matter.

Okupe argued that Boko Haram was a “multinational, international insurgency arrangement in Nigeria” as the group had links with ISIS, Al Qaeda, and other international terrorist groups.

He also said he did not know about the identity of the sponsors as he was not working with security.

He also claimed that there were huge political considerations in the fight against Boko Haram, making an example of General Buhari, who Okupe said had polled over 12 million votes in the North in the last election.

Okupe alleged that Buhari had said any attack on Boko Haram was an attack on the North and that Buhari’s recent condemnation of Boko Haram was as a result of his fourth bid to become Nigeria’s president.

#BringBackOurGirls Not Time Bound

Speaking about the 219 schoolgirls in Boko Haram captivity, Okupe said “the issue of Chibok girls was an emotional tragedy but it is a tragedy that we must bear with fortitude,” noting that issues such as rape, murder and other atrocities were common in war.

“Chibok girls are a major thorn in the flesh of the administration,” he explained, stating that “If it was possible to get them yesterday I know that this government would have done it”.

He also called for caution in the rescue mission, noting that “any mistake will lead to their death” and that there’s no time limit for returning the girls alive.

By the bible definition of a marriage she can only vote for her husband as no one ever voted against self.
It still a win win situation for her, no matter the outcome but human selfish interest tells me that she would most rather prefer to be a first lady than t being the sister of a governor.
How many sisters of governors do you know?
The northern elite are just like European royal families, they are all interested linked

@poster: So you have an issue with the one that declared his asset irrespective of your conspiracy theories around it and your humourous quest towards rewriting English language in order to support your nefarious theory.
But in the same breath, you are just ok and comfortable with the one that tells you to go to hell, as he does not give a damn about what to think about his asset secrecy?
Human beings are special creatures. I bet you went to church, using the same crooked soul calling on your gods?

Wow. Jonathan will require the most scientific rigging to win this.
Last time he had all the northern governors to do it for him. Now many has left him, those that remain like Lamido and Babangida Aliyu cannot be trusted not to work against him.
With Amaechi and Okorocha, Rivers and Imo, getting 99% this time around will be an uphill battle.

OBY IS A USELESS ADULTEROUS JOBLESS ATTENTION SEEKING SORRY EXCUSE OF A WOMAN.[/size]

GET AT ME DAWG

Is this the handiwork of some white powder or just the way you were raised and how you are?

This is someone"s mum, wife , sister or even grandma you are writing about, that you never met and never will ever.
Just because of politics of those who cared less about your very existence.
Take it easy, all this blood pressure pumping, you really think it is worthy for wicked Nigeria political class?
Chill bro. Please!

alabiyemmy:
Punch is Anti Jonathan and anti PDP so whats she on about?

You think every issue is all about PDP/APC or Jonathan vs Buhari?

So his anger is that he has more than Buhari and cannot believe a Nigerian retired General can have so small amount?
I don't know where his anger is coming from.lol.
Well, he is a comedian. Its hardwork trying to make a stone laugh.

mikeansy:
the above argument is not supported by mathematics!!!!

"At least" means "minimum" OR "equal to or greater than"

In essence at least 1 million can mean 1 trillion

I don't know why we are debating this to be honest. This is elementary mathematics!

Yes, your political inspired mathematics.

Bawss1:
Why do supporters of Buhari have to lie like this?

Buhari did not pay off Nigeria's debt!

Stop manufacturing lies, they can easily be disproven.

Am not sure he paid it off, he did pay some though. Why don't you disprove it when you know it is easy then?
What are you waiting for?

Goddex:
[size=15pt]President Jonathan had since declared his assets


Meanwhile, what does Buhari mean by "I have atleast 1m in my account?"

Hahahahaha . . . . the abokii wants to confuse us with English. "Atleast 1m" can as well mean 900m or 1b naira[/size].

At least mean, estimate, roughly, in the region of. How can 1b be any close to 900m?

Because I am never comfortable without cows.

That is hilarious.
This politicians will definitely say any rubbish now for votes.
Wait till Okupe and Abati counter him with their own tweets- Our boss is never comfortable without his shoes now.

DrJoe1:
here in Enugu, President Jonathan doesn't even need to come and campaign, just send the inec officials to count our votes.

GEJ till 2019

Why waste INEC official time and petrol, when you can count it yourself then?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
The Igbo man dat contested under Apc,why didn't they give him d ticket?

When Igbos does not even has a choice to choose anyone, let alone contesting in PDP?

Don't listen to him Jonathan. He got only one vote. If he managed to convince his wife, that's two votes.

Flets:
That shameless, hypocritical and promiscuous woman who sleeps around with old folks like OBJ to stay relevant.
She cannot even win in her ward.

I bet you were appointed to hold light for them when the were sleeping together?
It takes one to know one.

NgeneUkwenu:
Dear Eziachi! There is nothing to back up! The figures are all there! The salaries were quoted per annum but the op decided to multiply it again by 12months to make it look outrageous which is wrong!

Btw, i am holding brief for them! I am just trying to point out the miscalculation there!

Am so pi.ssed off now. You really think I give a fard about your calculations?
Even if it's per century. How can one public official, yes public official be taking home millions of public money just because he is occupying public office that supposed to be serving?
How many CEOs of multi billion dollar transnational companies that makes profit takes take home anything close annually in salary?
Instead of being outraged , you are rather trying to be technical with me.
British people were outraged when they learn that their MPs were making claims like the cost of a garden hose that cost peanuts and some were forced to pay it back, some went to jail for it.

Here you are going technical and language smart with me to justify a day light robbery just for having access to public funds. That's unless you are one of them.

I want to see what the presidency earn and how much it takes to run the office. You want a president who will volunteer and cut his salary by 75% and seizes the moral high ground to mobilize the populace and if possible blackmailing this rogues and governors to do the same.
How can you operate an open robbery against the people in the name of democracy. And this is just their legitimate earnings only.

NgeneUkwenu:
See Nigerian Educational System! All the allowances listed there is per annum! How come the op mischievously calculated all and tagged it per a month? And some senseless posters above bought it hook and sinker?

Seun, Obinoscopy, Ishilove, this is false information! Yank it off or do the needful!

8. Don't post false information on Nairaland.

Abi senators dey buy cars every month?

Why not post your alternative figures and whatever your version of truth is?
That is how to make a counter argument.
Instead of just calling it false without anything to back it up.
Am not saying that you are wrong but that your mere dismissive approach without any backup is flawed.

I thought Okupe promised to commit suicide if APC survived six months? What is he waiting for still?

bigiyaro:
Hope they took a bank loan to pay for the food.

lol

AHOY147:
Time will vindicate the just. Ihejirika is standing taller than every other chief of NA. His name alone is a nightmare to BH and it's sponsors during his reign in office.

Who sacked Ihejirika?

SeverusSnape:
Yes of course, Ihejirika is the best chief of army staff we've had in recent times, I could still recall how Boko-haram members were pummeled on a daily basis, but since he was resigned forcefully, those cows now have the impetus to carry out daring attacks across the north east and even north west; The Arewa.......whatever can go to hell with their useless and baseless accusations, Hypocrites!

Please remind yourself who sacked Ihejirika.

xyz098:
Lie lie lie! If you didn't understand the deception that took place at the APC primary, I'd explain it to you. APC threw Okorocha into that ring just to make it look like they're giving the igbo's a chance. You'd recall that before then, all the aspirants were northners and Buhari had already been ordained APC flag bearer the very day APC was formed. APC therefore in it's usual way of decieving the people, threw Rochas into the fray of things.
We know how Rochas campaings for his own presidency. Did he campaign for this one? Up till that morning some people didn't even know that Rochas was a contestant. If there's one thing APC knows how to do effectively, it is decieve people and make it look like they're doing something great.

You knew nothing, it's called conspiracy theory.

Duru1:
Are you resourcefully sure that a person from Otuoke in Ekpeye (Akpa Ohia) in Ogbia LGA, Bayelsa State is Ijo?

If you don't know the answer to this your questions, it means that you are in a wrong forum.

OdenigboAroli:
What has Anambra got to do with what we are discussing?
I hate to spell it out to you but Rochas didnt make any impact in this show of shame he carried out. He isnt the first Igbo man to contest in primary election and will not be the last. Ekwueme almost got away with PDP ticket in '99 before the north ganged up against him. Tell me what Rochas achieved in this primary? Did you see the political heavyweights in Igbo land and south-south that was sent to beg Obi to join the most powerful and ruling party in Nigeria,PDP. That tells the clout the man has. Rochas will never get there for the rest of his miserable political career. He got 600 votes while his northern masters scored in thousands. This tell you how common and insignificant he is in APC. The who is who in Igbo land holds Obi in high esteem. Igwe Achebe,Okonjo Iweala,Pius Anyim, Willie Obiano,T A Orji,the late Akunyili,Emeka Anyaoku are some of the people who speak good of Obi.

"Match him politically "?
You cant be this d...umb,madam!
Dangote,Fashola praised Obi as one of the most talented Nigerian alive.
Tell me who speaks good of Rochas
Rochas is a clueless politician without a clear destination nor vission.
APC is making a caricature of him while he clowns for everybody...lol
Ojukwu/Obi singlehandedly made Rochas a governor and Obiano is set to discard the noise maker. Watch out,there is a new sheriff in town. Think Iheanacho.
Abeg,dont piss me off; In an Igbo gathering Okorocha sits and keep quiet when Obi talks.

Stop ranting lies.
Obi is a political n.y.m.p.h.o before and after Ikemba. This is the same PDP that did every available injustices to Obi? How much of short memory you lot got about those that wanted to burn down Anambra because of Obi.
As far as Nigeria crazy politics is concerned, you cannot compare Rochas and Obi in political clout. Without Rochas APGA would have been rigged out again by Ohakim and his gangs in 2011. Obi's re-election was Ngige/PDP vs Ikemba, nothing to do with Obi.
Rochas fought PDP in Imo without Ikemba who was already very ill and now you are lying to yourself?

Once Ikemba died Obi abandoned APGA and start following Jonathan like a puppy.
You cannot blame Rochas who at least has a higher ambition as an independent thinking person when he realized that Umeh and Obi has turned APGA into a subsidiary of PDP that are not even willing to field their own presidential candidate in elections.

When did a privately successful Igboman become a water career for a dumb Ijaw man, who by a mere stroke of luck and misfortune of others hit a jackpot of leadership and lacking any clue as to what to do with it?
It is an insult to a proud Igbo sons like me. That's not the way we are raised.
