Scatterboss:



God bless you for that coded message. The mighty Do or Die Obasanjo was disgraced in Lagos and Ogun, Who the hell is Gani Adams? Cant stop laughing.

Eyan mi, the OP is an egotistical, desperate and uninformed charlatan who relies on newspaper info alone. Even in the SDP camp, as we speak now, there is serious backstabbing and underground treachery going on. Ogun State politics? I dey laff.

Scatterboss:


So you know more than people on ground? Your argument are based on newspaper stories, Amosun that refused to reconcile with Osoba is no fool, he even allow his deputy to decamp and ignore him. Hehehehehe. Politics of Ogun is local and secretive.

Don't pay attention to that charlatan. He knows nothing and tries to guess as he goes along. Amosun is an underground gangster. I won't mention names but those who know Ogun politics will know how many 'enemies' Amosun has 'wasted' to be where he is today. The forces that congregated against him was no joke. It included people who staked their political future to take Amosun down by leaving the APC to join the Osoba SDP brigandage against the Ogun State Governor yet they have serious regrets today because they have realised that Osoba is nothing but a bitter, disgruntled, frustrated, dishonourable and very dishonest old man.

Some of these guys, underground, are even trying to now come back to the APC after Osoba used, extorted and dumped them. We all know the OP is an uninformed joker and the gullible children here can entertain his ego but every informed Nairalander knows he is someone with no credibility or useful knowledge about anything let alone SW politics which is a very complex 'smorgasbord' of permanent interests.

SirShymexx:


Lol.

You've got time to waste on an obtuse illiterate, with pay-as-you-speak conjectures induced by asinine rhetoric.

I'll like to read Uncle Gbawe's analysis (since Pukkah, the big Uncle eGuerilla, and dapper don Kats aren't regulars anymore). Not some vacuous oaf who just started learning how to put words together a few months ago...and had to beg for protection over his redundant opinions on a faceless forum.

You are one of the few posters here I like and respect. This is the only reason I am even responding. I have absolutely no interest in contributing my opinion on any thread started by this OP. Doing so is like a father with young children having to 'hang out' with a hardened and unrepentant paedophile. The OP, as you know now, is a totally disgusting human being any decent and morally upright person , whether APC or PDP, will avoid.

Suffice to say, as is the case with unprincipled mercenaries like FFK, OP is delusional attempting to speak for the SW. I can tell you all that majority of average Yorubas do not have a single reason to vote for GEJ. Not one and they are determined to resist and reject him. People can believe me if they want or not but I can authoritatively state here that it is the overwhelming defeat GEJ was facing in the SW that necessitated the much-condemned election postponement. They wanted to try and use the 7 extra weeks to buy every opinion leader in the SW to help them deliver a GEJ win. It is not working so far and GEJ is on a 'long thing'. "Maga don come" things. Anyone giving credibility to the analysis of the hungry OP is simply naive.

OP is a discredited character who works on 'guestimates' while trying to be the insider he will never be. He is the same character who started panicking here about Buhari losing the APC primaries because info was put in the public domain, by PDP desperados, that Atiku had successfully out-bribed all others and was on course to defeat Buhari. Him and others will confess I told them it was all hogwash. I was privy to information that made me realise Buhari would win overwhelmingly because the SW 'big boys' were working for him and would not entertain any derailment of their 'mission'. I told them this but many did not believe me. Yet we all know what happened. It is the same with the upcoming election never mind the delusions of GEJ and his crew.

Similarly, as I predicted the outcome of the APC presidential Primaries and Lagos guber primaries, I am saying here and now that GEJ will not win in the SW if elections are free and fair. On the contrary, the people of the region will disgrace him and the PDP. I can't speak about some things publicly but I will tell you that the PDP, because it is a Party of desperate men and women scared about their future, is operating on 'dutch courage' and pretence bravado. The underground truth is that the APC is not talking much but the Party is fully ready, on all fronts, to counter and overcome the PDP. Who is Gani Adams , Fasehun, FFK, Obanikoro et al? Is it because the Yoruba heavyweight are silent that makes the 'omo ales' think they now run the show? Those who matter in Yoruba land know what they have to do. I will leave it at that. The wise and experienced heads here should ask themselves why Lagos did not fall into PDP hands even under the uber-bully OBJ was. Therein lies the clue to the omerta-style code that will play out to leave the PDP stunned. Imagine silly TANdroid children who are not from the SW pinning their hopes on loquacious, turncoat and desperate opportunists like Fayose, Obanikoro, FFK, Adams et al when the real self-made leaders of the region, that the people respect and obey , have already passed on the message about what must happen. I dey laff. As they say " e go do dem like film".

ziccoit:
Lol

Mega lol. Totally expected though. Only bigots and self-serving hardened criminals remajn in GEJ' corner today,

yemaldo:

And don't forget to tell ur children u r voting for a man that allows about 15000 nigerian to die because of his ambition.

Thank you. The truth, even if such is not the case with Nigeria, is that most men and women worldwide get into politics with the hope of making a positive difference to the lives of their people. How should these leaders worldwide react to Jonathan whose actions show he is happy to sacrifice and let down those he should be protecting and serving ?

It is not rocket science to deduce why other genuinely committed leaders would despise GEJ passionately as is the case universally today. GEJ fans might bury their heads in the sand and lie to themselves but the reality is that Jonathan is a disgrace to leaedership other passionate and driven leaders throughout the world would consider an aberration to be avoided and resisted. No decent leader will be interested in helping Jonathan because he has committed the ultimate crime of deliberately assisting the spilling of the blood of his own people for selfish reasons. That is something many world leaders cannot look beyond and this now shows in how they talk about and deal with GEJ. For example, Jonathan's response to the Chibok kidnapping shocked the whole world. Other leaders could barely hide their disdain for a leader happy to play politics with the lives and wellbeing of ovef 250 innocent young girls . Overall, even the world beyond Nigeria want GEJ gone because he is a ghastly and unfortunate accident , masquerading as a leader, many now want to forget.

maestroferddi:
I will not stoop so low to bandy words with you but will allow you to wallow in the manifest vacuity you have displayed...

Olodo, he has just taken you to school and all you can do is attempt to hide behind 'big words' you assume lends credence to your fake pretence to erudition. What a sad and pathetic empty barrel. What he pointed out is something even a bright 5 year old child can figure out. Yet we now see, like Jonathanians in general, that you are another egocentric and glorified olodos not to be taken seriously.

Samunique:
Yes Pope will agree conversation with GMB not bcs he's an angel, but bcs Pope will not discriminate the way some Muslims do against their so called Kafurs ( infidels )!!!!

What discrimination are you talking about? You think the entire world cannot see how religiously divisive, manipulative and destructively machiavellian GEJ is ? This is really not a Muslim or Christian issue per se. Even leaders of so-called majority Christian Nations , like the USA and the UK, steer clear of GEJ and openly disapprove of him. Whether you wish to see it , let alone admit it, the reality is that the peers of GEJ, i.e his fellow world leaders, really hate how he uses religion, and pretty much everything he can, to divide and destroy his own people for the sake of political gains. No upright leader truly concerned about those he/she leads, whether Muslim or Christian, will want to align with such a character.

Most world leaders, whatever their religion, are even struggling to try and contain their disdain for GEJ. That is how terrible he is a leader. They have seen him completely content to watch thousands die needlessly for 5 years only to now be mounting an 'onslaught' against terror when he is facing election defeat . Also, you should understand that that leaders worldwide have access to intelligence that you do not which makes them fully aware of what GEJ is and how he has no issues sacrificing his own people as 'collateral damage'for his political ambition. You can deceive yourself this is a Muslim V Christian issue but that only confirms the argument that majority of GEJ supporters are religiously biased and ethnocentric characters who blame everything on religion and ethnicity without any interest in seeing the many documented wrongdoing of GEJ that has now made him a highly despised leader other world leader have only disdain for and wish to avoid at all cost.

Do you GEJ fans on this thread all have comprehension 'issues' or is it that you guys are just too shameless to the point you do not even know when to remain silent? Must you guys defend what even a mad man will reject? Did you charlatans all see the part below that indicts GEJ of political desperation? The GEJ Presidency is one led by immoral folks and backed blindly by immoral supporters also.

How is the part in bold below different to how GEJ cynically allowed many Nigerians to die over 5 years only to now be mounting a battle against Boko Haram when his own private ambition of remaining President is under threat? Is there anything our Army are doing now they could not have done years ago to save the over 15,000.00 Nigerians that Boko Haram has slaughtered? As the APC concluded , GEJ is "wicked" and so also his depraved, morally bankrupt, callous and totally shameless supporters.

The man has been in power for five years and he has never had an exchange with the Moroccan king, the source said, insisting that Morocco wants to avoid that an exchange with the presidential candidate be exploited politically, especially vis-à-vis the Muslim majority of Northern Nigeria.

What a disgrace. Yet can one expect anything else from this thoroughly discredited and shamelessly fraudulent government ?

LagosBoi2:
Congratulations but don't let GEJ buy you with billions, He has bought almost all of our independent institutions

Looks like you beat the programmed robot (temitemi1) to the 'first to comment' slot. Congratulation. Not an easy thing to achieve.

samuelrodger9:
It's hard for me to understand how a right thinking man will vote for Buhari. After what he has done in the past, how people celebrated his ousting by babangida. I believe the good spirited Nigerians will go to march on 28march and renew the mandate of our dear presido. Ride on GEJ, vote transformation. Vote GEJ

"Transformation" and GEJ in the same sentence given the total failure we have all witnessed Jonathan deliver over the past 5 years? You must live in a different Nigeria to that in West Africa.

Any Nigerian not into self-deceit, and capable of putting two and two together to make 4, will know that this article even errs on the conservative side. Nigeria is so messed-up that it is only an ascetic, feared and disciplined leader , truly and completely on the side of ordinary folks like Buhari, who can save her.

Those who simply want a better Nigeria and are not sentimental, ethnocentric, vengeful, prejudiced, 'paid' and clannish know that Jonathan caused all our problem even as he operated as the wealthiest and most financially-empowered President in Nigeria's history for 5 years with oil selling at $100.00-$110.00 per barrel.

How can Jonathan now be the solution with oil price stuck at around $50.00 per barrel? How can a hideously corrupt, weak, profligate, callous, pro-elite, oligarchy-empowering and morally-bankrupt President manage a period that is going to require ground-shaking reforms and uncompromising pro-people cost-cutting that will hurt the elite and political class seriously to the benefit of the ordinary Nigerian? Has Jonathan not always being 100% about empowering the private-jet Oligarchy? How can this dangerous and anti-people accidental President be the way forward given all he has done wrong and the seriously decimated income Nigeria now has to work with because of falling international oil price?

Why should Nigeria be in a position of oil-related vulnerability if not that the ultra-corrupt, scamming, irresponsible and profligate GEJ failed to diversify our economy adequately over the 5 years he has been in charge? Do some simpleton think intelligent analysts and financial speculators will be fooled by all the m0r0nic and childish propaganda emanating from the GEJ government? The truth is that Nigeria is in serious trouble GEJ and other PDP Presidents before him caused. GEJ , if decent , will step down so that someone with the talent and passion to work for ordinary Nigerians uncompromisingly can rescue our nation before she collapses totally.

This is what some of us mean when we say the value system of many Nigerians has been bastardized by the amoral and shameless PDP. Some Nigerian are now comfortable being fed senseless lies only to then take to spreading those lies gleefully themselves. All because of the sentimental and clannish support they host for shameless and worthless leaders like GEJ.

Nigerians can imagine the shame on our nation occasioned by a Presidency that claimed it spoke to the Moroccan King when such never happened. Does GEJ and his morally bankrupt team think other Nations are like Nigeria where lying by leaders is condoned and even encouraged? Shame on GEJ and the PDP. Always disgracing Nigeria. Our relationship with other nations is something the new APC Government will have to work hard to repair post May 2015 because of the huge damage the 5 years of GEJ has done to isolate Nigeria and make us a pariah nation .

oyb:
the jokers actually refernced winston churchill.

typical.

churchill replaced neville chamberlain

and this adminstration did not treat bh with kid gloves, they treated it as an opportunity to smear the opposition and anyone who spoke against gej.

they used bh to squander money right left and center

now in the twilight of gej administration, they are trying to use bh to score cheap political points.

Indeed. Coming after over 15,000.00 preventable deaths . Absolutely disgusting. Jonathan is a very cynical and callous President.

alaoeri:

Because they are learned enough to know that PDP is just pulling a stunt & all the allegations against the certificate are baseless.

100% correct. No intelligent person will waste time commenting on the certificate saga which, like the fake cancer diagnosis document, we all know is the distracting antics of drowning men i.e GEJ and his fellow PDP looters. The PDP simply know that they have failed Nigerians monumentally and have nothing positive at all to 'sell' themselves on. To that extent, and because of their failure, the only option available to the desperate PDP is that of making Buhari appear someone the electorate should shun. Intelligent folks are not buying it. It is change that Nigerians want and it is change they shall get.

“So, any recovery should not be a credit, but rather it shows that we should further condemn the administration for treating such a serious issue with kid gloves. President Jonathan and his managers escalated the war.”

This is the bottom line conclusion any balanced adult cannot avoid. It is up to Nigerians to decide if they want to give their vote to a man who only acts when his political interest is threatened and was very happy, for 5 years, to watch Nigerians die because he did not care to do back then what he is now hastily doing today all in the hope of deceiving Nigerians to vote for him at the last minute after he failed them time and time again when it mattered most.

I can tell this forum that in sane nations, with an active and upright legislature, GEJ would even have been impeached and jailed for treason, gross corruption and dereliction of duty which led to the loss of over 15,000.00 innocent lives. To me GEJ is a war criminal like Charles Taylor, Samuel Doe et al. The problem is that many Nigerians remain too sentimental to note this.

Junk journalism in my opinion.

arewafederation:


True. The Sw is the deciding factor of this election . They are not easily swayed to vote someone they do not believe in. Many in voted for GEJ in 2011 ,despite not having a Yoruba man in the ticket, because only few did not believe he would be a monumental failure. The same SW voted Tambuwal against their own. So, one will be correct to say GEJ'S massive failure will cost him the votes of the SW.

Of course. Let us face the fact of how the SW voted during the last election. Every non-performing PDP leader was voted out in the region. Obasanjo's daughter even lost in front of her father's house !!! That is how the SW will always behave when they give you a chance and you squander it. This is not unique to the SW because this is how politically sophisticated polities behave worldwide !!! Why should a sane and balanced person give misruling leaders their vote when he, and he alone, will be the victim of the continuation of terrible leadership? What does the SW have to gain with 4 more years of GEJ given how terrible 5 years under Jonathan has turned out to be?

customized13:
I beg to disagree that GEJ is worse then obasanjo. Since you, and probably most of other southwesterners were critics of obasanjo, why then did he win in southwest?

OBJ did not win. He rigged the elections massively in 2003. I am one of those not fooled by OBJ's current "I love Nigeria" pontifications. OBJ, almost more than any other Nigerian leader, is responsible for how horrible Nigeria is today. Even in 2007 OBJ, to plant his two stooges in power (Yar Adua and GEJ) used his Presidency to conduct elections that foreign observers labelled "the worst they had ever seen anywhere in the world". You do not know my views about OBJ, to the extent you think I support him by default since I am Yoruba, because I have no time to talk about him any more. He has done his damage and we simply have to move on and face the task of mending a very bad bad situation. That begins with getting GEJ out.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_general_election,_2007

Observers[edit]
Following the presidential election, groups monitoring the election gave it a dismal assessment. Chief European Union observer Max van den Berg reported that the handling of the polls had "fallen far short" of basic international standards, and that "the process cannot be considered to be credible",[33] citing "poor election organisation, lack of transparency, significant evidence of fraud, voter disenfranchisement, violence and bias."[27] They described the election as "the worst they had ever seen anywhere in the world", with "rampant vote rigging, violence, theft of ballot boxes and intimidation".[2] One group of observers said that at one polling station in Yenagoa, in the oil-rich south, where 500 people were registered to vote, more than 2,000 votes were counted.[24]

Felix Alaba Job, head of the Catholic Bishops Conference, cited massive fraud and disorganisation, including result sheets being passed around to politicians who simply filled in numbers as they chose while bribed returning electoral officers looked away.[34]

customized13:
And obasanjo didn't fail in their eyes? Let me ask you a question, was obasanjo a credible leader?

This is why I said you should refrain from making assumptions about others. Most on this forum know I was one of the biggest critics of OBJ's Presidency. OBJ was not a "credible leader" in my opinion. I consider him a failed President also who did not adequately and comprehensively address the major woes of Nigeria. Yet GEJ is worse. Far worse. Jonathan needs to go, same as I was happy to see OBJ leave, because this is about 170 million people and their need for good leadership. Jonathan is failing like OBJ because they are both cut from the same PDP cloth and ideology which is anti-people. There are things that can be done today that will instantly revolutionise the lives of ordinary Nigerians yet those things will never be done because anti-people leaders like GEJ and OBJ will always work to an elitist script which means they will never side with the people. Buhari will. This is the big difference between Buhari and other that can make a big difference for Nigeria.

customized13:
sorry, I touched a nerve, master know all.

Well, I have revised my post because I realised I was wrong to respond like that even if you are an annoying poster who revels in lying and making false assumptions about others. What I find annoying about people like you is that you never look beyond your narrow outlook, feudal approach and clannish disposition. What you wrote below is garbage and an insult to many Yorubas who simple want a Nation that works because of good governance, yet you will never understand this because of your narrow-mindedness.

You should try and understand people before you talk because you will make enemies of them if all you want to do is judge them ignorantly. The Yorubas gave GEJ a chance. Never forget that. They now have the right to vote him out for letting them down without people like you saying what you do below. Simply look at how the Yorubas voted in 2011 and you will see it is mainly about performance for the people of the SW. Let me ask you this question - and I want your honest answer. Are you happy with your existence in Nigeria? Are you happy having to privately and massively pay for your own water, security, electricity, healthcare et al when others worldwide take these basics for granted as dividends of democracy?
No one has told you that GEJ caused all our problems. What is clear is that he does not have the solutions. He has only taken Nigeria backwards. If an ambitious Nigerian, wanting the dignity others enjoy worldwide, then you will see that we have no option but to try 'change'.

the simple reason why people like you in southwest won't vote Gej is because yorubas are marginalized in his government and osinbajo is a Yoruba

customized13:
[s]southwest vote based on propaganda and ethnicity, the simple reason why people like you in southwest won't vote Gej is because yorubas are marginalized in his government and osinbajo is a Yoruba, please shove all these performance epistle into your anus.

Your are blind if you think obasanjo performed better than GEJ.

It is not about GEJ doing better than OBJ. It is about GEJ failing in the eyes of the average indigene of the SW. Get it?

arewafederation:


What makes you so sure? With the dwindling fortunes of GEJ due to ineptitude, I honestly don't know the miracle that will make him win in those states. You should bear in mind that these are states that do not vote based on ethnicity or religion.

Do not pay attention to folks who are not from the SW yet feel they can speak for the region - especially when those folks are bigots who are sentimentally attached to GEJ by ethno-religious bias. Folks should simply tell us how the SW voted in 2011. Which PDP non-performer was spared or returned to power? The reality is that the people of the SW will always vote out failed leaders even if some Nigerians are simply too emotional to accept this. We must then ask, which President has failed more than GEJ since 1999?

If we work with evidence-based facts and the reality of issue then it will be obvious that GEJ can never ever win in the SW. It is this consideration that made them postpone the election only for GEJ to then begin a new and more desperate effort to woo the Kings and opinion leaders in the region. It is too late because the people of the region, and not compromised mouthpieces like Mimiko and Adams, want change from a horrid status quo that has only taken them backwards.

The SW is a region that will judge Jonathan on his record. With the abysmal performance of GEJ in the past 5 years how can he then win in the SW? Mimiko and other 'hungry' Yorubas are simply deceiving GEJ. To include even those not from the SW, I think the entire Nigeria knows the truth about the region which is that its people will always 100% vote out leadership failure in free and fair elections.

The elections of 2011 is a factual testimony to this with the PDP voted out across the region because of the poor performance of the Party over years it was in power in SW States. Any Nigerian not into self-deceit will accept that Jonathan will not win in the SW. The Yorubas have no reason to vote for him because doing such is gaining "more of the same" of what they have endured for 5 years under GEJ. How many Yorubas can then support another 4 years of Jonathan given how the past 5 years under him has been terrible?

agabusta:
That AyeDee guy is a big scam. He just scammed himself into the pockets of the PDP with his sweet and oily mouth. He is actually an empty barrel.

He is just like FFK. It is the same strategy Fani also used to scam his way into GEJ pocket. Tackle the govt wt a smooth mouth, then negotiate wt them behind and then come out blazing like fire supporting them on all fronts.

AyeDee and FFK are birds of the same feathers. They are big time scammers to GEJ. They are professional sweet talkers. I won't be surprised if the guy actually paid Linda for that earlier stunt that earned him his publicity. It seems like part of his grand plan to scam his way into politicians' pockets.

PDP must have spent some good money to fly the overrated guy into the country, lodge him into a nice hotel and then reward him handsomely for his appearance.

The way FFK and this overhyped AyeDee guy got into the campaign organisation of GEJ shows it clearly that GEJ is not a very smart guy.

He is indeed a fraudster. His life is one big bag of scams, dishonesty and irresponsibility. Dude is a malevolent cyber thug as well who stalks people online with the intention of bringing them down. In short Aye dum, like Wendel Simlin AKA Reno Omokri, is the is the perfect element to associate with team GEJ. Another unprincipled and empty mercenary looking to get-rich-quick courtesy of the desperate paymaster that GEJ is.


Behold the fraudster associated with GEJ . Jonathan is just a terrible President who attracts and empower the worst and most disgusting human-being. Look at the "psychologically disturbed" fraudster attaching himself to the GEJ project. Laughable really yet totally predictable and expected.


http://africamusiclaw.com/audio-interview-ex-wife-of-ayedee-aka-mukhtar-alexander-daniyan-comes-forward-with-damning-allegations-of-fraud/

Audio Interview: Ex-Wife of AyeDEE aka Mukhtar Alexander Dan’iyan Comes Forward with Damning Allegations of Fraud, “419” and More.


I received this audio interview from the folks at Nigerian FM New York who apparently read the AML blog and listen to the Podcast shows. The station conducted this interview with a woman who alleges she is the wife of Alexander Daniyan aka @MrAyeDee is now famously linked with the Google shutdown, albeit temporarily, of the celebrity blog Lindaikeji..com which averages almost $1million annually.

He is a name that appeared to emerge out of nowhere until the key party involved i.e. Linda Ikeji, revealed there was a prior and long standing emotionally intimate relationship between the two. A relationship that had gone sour.

Notwithstanding such revelations, it had no bearing on the issues of plagiarism and intellectual property infringement from other third parties against Linda Ikeji.

Further, Ikeji’s revelation left many curious about the identity of the person with the twitter handle @Mrayedee, especially as he now appears to be taking on political figures in Nigeria (see his latest outing of Bola Tinubu as an alleged former drug baron, having a false identity and faking academic records). Enter this recent account of his alleged ex-wife who appears to reveal a lot more about this character that has the internet buzzing:

Listen in on the interview and feel free to share your thoughts:

[b]In the interview, the woman alleges the following:

1. She was married to him from 2001-2004, and is now divorced. They have a child (son) together.

2. She claims he does not pay child support. The host ask, if you know his location, job and he does not pay chid support, why didn’t you go after him? She responds that she lives in another state plus he always files 1099s. She also claims he uses other women to hide money under various names so it is hard to go after him.

3. She claims he is a fraud. He lives in a house where he does not pay rent and is a squatter. She claims he is a dangerous man.

[size=14pt]4. She claims he spends a lot of time on the internet bringing down people. He allegedly has “psychological issues.”[/size]

5. She claims women need to be careful because he uses women for his agenda.

6. She claims he is half Nigeria and half Ukranian.

7. According to her, all of the above information is verifiable information via public records.

[size=14pt]8. She denies he is a Middle East expert as his twitter profile indicates.She claims he is “broke and poor and swindles people.”[/size]
[/b]
For situations like these, the question is always, what’s the motive of the person providing the information? (NOTE: From day one, I have said I was suspicious of @Mrayedee. Nevertheless, when people emerge with details, what is common sense to ask is, what is the motive, irrespective of how credible the information may be. Listen in and judge for yourselves the motive.)

“When a certain lady who claims to be AyeDee‘s Ex. wife first spoke to NigerianFM last night, we did not believe her story, since she failed to Identify herself properly. Today, we can say definitively that she is indeed, AyeDee’s ex wife, having sent to us all the necessary documents to prove it. She is coming on air very shortly, please listen to her if you can spare the time.

Since this writer never engages in speculative write up, reading through linda Ikeji’s various accounts of what actually transpired between her and ‘Muktar,’ Linda did not leave me in any doubt that this AyeDee might be her web hands. The man she told Nigerians reported her to Google, happens to be the same dude, she told us, made her.

They lost contact for many years and the dude resurfaced from nowhere to continue a correspondence that bore no semblance of any animosity between the duo. While the dude she told Nigerian lives in New York may have set up the drama wheel of the script he wrote, folks might argue that Linda Ikeji interpreted her role so well that she got everyone into a movie theater to watch a new box office hit titled , “Linda ikeji and AyeDee ScamBags’. Now, the man’s Ex. wife is speaking out.

Who is AyeDEE-mukhtar alexander dan’iyan? You are about to find out. You be the judge.

@OP.

No need to panic. Wait for INEC to comprehensively state how they will address areas of deficiency with the use of card readers. It was a success, for example, in Lagos. This is why this test run was conducted . Same way students take part in mock exams to note their deficiency and preparedness for the main exam. Of course the process should not be facing these issues as INEC has had years to prepare for this election and this really is sheer incompetence but that is an issue for another day and time. INEC should now do all in its power to make this election free, fair and as 'unriggable' as possible.

As for your fears, I believe the APC is very prepared for the PDP and will win come what may. One thing against the PDP that is very important, yet the fans of the Party do not account for or understand, is that the political system of leadership and association, both home and abroad, does not want GEJ to carry on as President. This is an under-appreciated but very powerful and influential lobby group. Jonathan is a 'lame Duck' President for many. I personally think his position is untenable.

GOATandYAMtheory:
Our president running hellter skelter to win election..if he had done well, he wouldn't be needing this.

This is the crux of the matter. Jonathan, over 5 years, has shown he has nothing to offer and Nigerians will reject him at the polls.

@Topic.

My view is that , ultimately, Nigeria has to help herself and our Government has simply not done that enough in relation to Boko Haram. Of course the USA is self-serving and hypocritical but which nation of the world is not? The problem, as shown even by our discussion here, is that Africans are too sentimental and place all emphasis on feeling sorry for themselves and talking as if others owe them solutions while whining like victims instead of learning to play the game and taking responsibility for their own progress.

For example, The first outbreak of Ebola was in Sudan in 1976. The second major outbreak began in the Democratic republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) in 1995. Did Africans, the primary victims, learn from those outbreaks? Did we understand that we must try to produce a vaccine against this deadly disease capable of decimating large swathes of Africa if unchecked? Big NO !!! While we shirked our responsibilities like little kids and deferred our duties of developing a vaccine, Ebola has now returned devastatingly and all that irresponsible Africans can do is to blame the USA for not providing us with an experimental drug that does not even have FDA approval and takes ages to produce a small dose meaning the USA had to control 'stock' for when her own citizens may need such. That is how we Africans do things. We never take responsibility for our own problem and do not believe that charity begins at home enough to begin sincerely seeking African solutions for African problems. We must always blame others for our woes.

Similarly with our current terror predicament, we saw the Nigerian government make a complete mess of the Boko Haram issue because of politics of self-preservation and self-interest. Should we not be ashamed, when we are the victims, to now put everything at the door of the USA? How some have turned this conversation into a discussion focusing on the 'hypocrisy' of the USA , without looking at the deficiencies of our own leaders, is the perfect display of the irresponsible egotism of Africans that leaves us fiddling while the house burns down. Sometimes when I see the way Nigerians vehemently curse the USA, UK et al, in relation to our own self-created woes, I am reminded of how we have a long way to go in understanding that there is no free lunch in lif and that we must, above others, take responsibility for finding solutions to our own problems. Nigeria can defeat Boko Haram alone, without US or foreign help, if we are led by sincere men and women who truly value the lives and well-being of their people. As simple as that.

CyberTerrorist:
Seun and Gbawe, where were you when USA was slaughtering millions of Iraqis on assumptions of WMD? Where is the WMD today? You guys are just pathetic ..Spits on useless thread

Have you seen me argue here that the USA is a human rights champion or human rights 'Police' of the world? Frankly I don't hold such views. George Bush, for example, is a war criminal in my opinion. I was an active blogger before the period leading to the Iraq war and I wrote passionately about WMD (weapons of mass destruction) being just an excuse for Bush and Blair, post 9/11, to criminally invade Iraq and topple a figurehead proponent (Saddam ) of the "axis of evil".

Read what I wrote again and you will see I make it clear that the issue of the USA failing to help Nigeria goes beyond the consideration of human rights abuse alone. The USA has always being able to 'live with' human rights abuse and 'collateral damage' if such is in her interest. Read below to see that the real issue is that the USA is not keen, any time soon, to help Boko Haram become the ISIS of West Africa. This is the real reason the USA will not be supplying Nigeria with powerful weapons. You guys, instead of just being emotional and angry, should follow events closer and view issues dispassionately. This way it will be obvious what all stakeholders are doing when they take certain decisions.

Rift between US, Nigeria Impeding Fight against Boko Haram

27 Jan 2015

Pentagon still considers Nigerian Army an important ally
Zacheaus Somorin with agency report
Relations between American military trainers and specialists advising the Nigerian military in the fight against Boko Haram are so strained that the Pentagon often bypasses the Nigerian military altogether, choosing to work instead with security officials in the neighbouring countries of Chad, Cameroun and Niger, the New York Times, in a report at the weekend, quoted US defence officials and diplomats as stating.

Major rifts like these between the Nigerian and American militaries have been hampering the fight against Boko Haram militants as they charge through North-eastern Nigeria, razing villages, abducting children and forcing tens of thousands of people to flee.

US Secretary of State, John Kerry, was in Nigeria on Sunday to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan and Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, the two leading candidates in the presidential election,[size=14pt] and the Pentagon said that the Nigerian Army is still an important ally in the region — vital to checking Boko Haram before it transforms into a larger, and possibly more transnational threat.

“In some respects, they look like ISIL two years ago,” Michael G. Vickers, the undersecretary of defence for intelligence, told the Atlantic Council last week, using another name for the militant group known as the Islamic State.

“How fast their trajectory can go up is something we’re paying a lot of attention to. But certainly in their area, they’re wreaking a lot of destruction.”[/size]

But US officials are wary of the Nigerian military as well, citing corruption and sweeping human rights abuses by its soldiers. US officials have also been hesitant to share intelligence with the Nigerian military because they contend it has been infiltrated by Boko Haram, an accusation that has prompted indignation from Nigeria.

“We don’t have a foundation for what I would call a good partnership right now,” said a senior military official with the United States Africa Command, or Africom, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly on the matter.

“We want a relationship based on trust, but you have to be able to see yourself. And they’re in denial.”

The US was so concerned about Boko Haram infiltration that American officials have not included raw data in intelligence they have provided Nigeria, worried that their sources would be compromised.

In retaliation, Nigeria in December cancelled the last stage of American training of a newly created Nigerian Army battalion.
There has been no resumption of the training since then.
Some Nigerian officials have also expressed dismay that relations between the two militaries have frayed to this point.

“For a small country like Chad or Cameroun to come to assist” the Americans, “that is disappointing,” said Ahmed Zanna, a senator from Borno State, the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency.

“You have a very good and reliable ally, and you are running away from them,” he said, faulting the Nigerian government. “It is terrible. I pray for a change of government.”

The tensions have been mounting for years. In their battle against Boko Haram, Nigerian troops were alleged to have rounded up and killed young men in northern cities indiscriminately, rampaged through neighbourhoods and, according to witnesses and local officials, killed scores of civilians in a retaliatory massacre in a village (Baga) in 2013.

Refugees said the soldiers set fire to homes, shot residents and caused panicked people to flee into the waters of Lake Chad, where some drowned.

But the allegations have been denied repeatedly by the military, which said the atrocities were committed by Boko Haram insurgents camouflaged in “stolen” Nigerian Army uniforms.

They have also pointed to the recent attacks on Baga early this month as example of the atrocities committed by the terrorists.
Last summer, the US government blocked the sale of American-made Cobra attack helicopters to Nigeria from Israel,
amid concerns about Nigeria’s protection of civilians when conducting military operations. That further angered the Nigerian government, and Nigeria’s ambassador to the United States responded sharply, accusing Washington of hampering the effort.

“The kind of question that we have to ask is, let’s say we give certain kinds of equipment to the Nigerian military that is then used in a way that affects the human situation,” James F. Entwistle, the US Ambassador to Nigeria, told reporters in October, explaining the decision to block the helicopter sale.
“If I approve that, I’m responsible for that. We take that responsibility very seriously,” he said.

All the while, Boko Haram has continued its ruthless push through Nigeria, bombing schools and markets, torching thousands of buildings and homes, and kidnapping hundreds of people.

Now stretching into its sixth year, the group’s insurgency has left thousands of people dead, the overwhelming majority of them civilians. It killed an estimated 2,000 civilians in the first six months of 2014 alone, Human Rights Watch said, and many of Nigeria’s major cities — Abuja, Kano, Kaduna — have been bombed.

US officials say that while it is unclear exactly how much territory Boko Haram effectively controls in Nigeria, the group is, at the very least, conducting attacks across significant parts of the North-east.

“They reportedly control a majority of the territory of Borno State,” in North-eastern Nigeria, “and a significant portion of the border areas with Cameroun and Chad,” said Lauren Ploch Blanchard, a specialist in African Affairs with the Congressional Research Service.

Even before the Nigerians cancelled the training programme in December, US military officials were concerned when soldiers showed up without proper equipment.

Given the nation’s oil wealth, the US attributed the deficits to chronic corruption on the part of Nigerian commanders, saying that they had pocketed the money meant for their soldiers.

“It’s not like they don’t have the money,” the senior Africom official said. “There are some things that we require to be good partners. The first of which is a commitment on the part of the Nigerian government to support its own army. They have a responsibility to provide adequate pay, to take care of their people, and to equip them.”

“None of those empty allegations have ever been proved,” said Chris Olukolade, a spokesman for the Nigerian military.

“The Nigerian military has always been receptive of honest support or assistance from well-meaning friends or partners. No one should however seek to use this security situation to usurp our sovereignty as a nation,” he added.

After Boko Haram made international headlines last April by kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls, the US flew several hundred surveillance drone flights over the North-east to search for the girls, but those missions were unsuccessful.
When the Pentagon did come up with leads, American military officials said, and turned that information over to Nigerian commanders to pursue, they did nothing with it.

But this again was refuted by the Nigerian military as “patently false”.

The frustrations between the two sides have broad implications for the fight against Boko Haram, US officials said, including making it harder for other international partners who have joined the effort.

“We are trying to work closely with the French and the Americans in support of the Nigerian military and government against Boko Haram,” a senior British diplomat said.

“A rift between one of our two partners and the Nigerians is not a good thing.”

Precisely.

Seun the problem is bigger than u think

Indeed. Imagine how Boko Haram were quickly able to procure and use gas mask shortly after the USA decided to gas and knock them out so that ground offensive can then move in to rescue the girls? Those are the sort of things that should worry all decent Nigerians. We may love deceiving ourselves in Nigeria but the USA, and any serious nation for that manner, will justifiably not work with such a dangerous level of internal sabotage. This is the main reason the USA has washed its hands off helping Nigeria while GEJ is President.

The greatest fear, which is legitimate and justified, is that any weapon supplied to Nigeria may end up in the hands of Boko Haram. What will this then do to Nigeria considering that very powerful weapons could make Boko Haram considerably more dangerous and more deadly than the terror group is already? Any right-thinking Nigerian will appreciate that the USA acted responsibly and correctly given all that has happened.

@OP.

It is not simply about Human rights abuse and I think you know this. There is a copious amount of information out there which reveals why the USA remain worried about helping our government in any shape or form. One of the most important reason the USA will not assist Nigeria is that a lot of information and actual occurrences show them that the Nigerian Government, under Jonathan, is not sincere about tackling Boko Haram.

There is the real and entirely justified fear that supplying the Nigerian army with serious fire-power may simply amount to arming Boko Haram and promoting the course of terror. Let us stop pretending and patronising ourselves with these simplistic and self-deceiving discussions. The entire world know that it is politicians in the current government, as GEJ confessed, sponsoring Boko Haram while Commanders in our Army secretly abet the terror group. The USA has the right to refuse to be a part of such madness where it is difficult to identify friend or foe because of the insincere and duplicitous conduct of our Government and Army.

US report reveals Nigerian military tipped off Boko Haram about Chibok girls rescue plan


Sunday, 01 March 2015 05:41

RECENT reports from US intelligence sources have revealed that Nigerian military commanders leaked plans to rescue the abducted Chibok girls to Boko Haram terrorists which ended up botching the operation.



On April 14, over 200 pupils were abducted from Government Girls Secondary School Chibok in Borno State, sparking an international outrage. In response to the global outcry, the US sent spy planes to Nigeria to help locate the girls and a plan was agreed with the military to mount a daring rescue operation.

[size=14pt]However, according to two US Army generals, details of the rescue mission was leaked to Boko Haram before it could be put into operation, enabling the terrorists to take preventative action. Accusing the Nigerian Army of treason, the generals revealed that that the war against Boko Haram was purposefully sabotaged by the Nigerian government, as if it would not, defeating the terrorists would not have taken longer than a month.[/size]

US sources pulled out from helping Nigeria rescue the missing Chibok girls after Washington discovered that Boko Haram had been fed the details of a covert rescue mission that would involve using gas. Source said that as soon as the Americans arrived and flew surveillance flights over Nigeria, they located the girls and proposed gassing the areas in the Sambisa Forest and then sending in a raid mission to rescue the girls while their terrorist captors were paralysed asleep.

However, shortly after Nigeria’s security chiefs were given this plan in high confidence, its details were leaked to Boko Haram who promptly acted to foil the plot. On its next surveillance flight over the area, the US team saw the Boko Haram terrorists all wearing gas masks.

US agents were very disappointed with this and immediately afterwards, Washington announced that it will no longer share information with Nigeria. This was one of the major reasons why the US gave up on a mission of working with the Jonathan government and eventually pulled out of the fight against Boko Haram.

According to military sources, it was this betrayal that led to Washington sanctioning Nigeria and preventing her from purchasing security equipment because the US is not convinced of the sincerity of the Jonathan government. Since the episode, the US has refused to sell Nigeria military hardware amid fears that it may end up in the hands of Boko Haram, although the official reason given was the human rights record of the Nigerian Army.

Since it began its operations in 2009, Boko Haram has always managed to infiltrate the Nigerian security forces where it has as lot of supporters and sympathisers. Terrorist cells are regularly tipped off about military missions and have subsequently been able to lie in ambush for Nigerian soldiers.

Of late, however, Boko Haram has been on the back foot since the establishment of the regional Multi National Joint Task Force. Because the task force is made up of regional neighbours Cameroon, Chad and Niger Republic, Boko Haram has been unable to infiltrate it, ass their troops have not been compromised.
