Yorubas are just too soft and accommodating.

mandarin: Well i do not understand your intention and the intention of your quoted middle belt but as a Nigerian with no regional affilliation I wish to state that all these talk of 2015 should be left to the electorates of Nigeria. Majority of Nigerian that will vote are in the North, the core North and only the repetition of 2011 can bring GEJ back which is and cannot be that way come ,2015 except you are bend on self illusion.
To be honest with you and all Nigerian, President Jonathan has lost the confidence of the two largest voting blocs in Nigeria: the core North and the South west and that amount to over 50% of Nigerian voters. That the President should mend fences is now belated and it has gone beyond the politicians, voters have seen it all and made up their minds if general opinions is anything to go by.
I must commend President Jonathan for one thing, elections conducted in his tenure are much better that his predecessors
and if he should tow that path I will hail him as the first President to hand over as a loser in an election. As an analyst these are my reasons:
1. The south south and south east alone cannot make GEJ win election even if he gets 100% votes from there its not just enough
2. Northerners are bend on a nothern President and believe me you need to live there to understand their mentality.
3. If the south west decides to vote for the opposition there is no way GEJ can win enough majority to avoid a run off
4. If the core north and the south west vote en masse for a candidate winning at least 75% of votes from the three regions the candidate will emerge the winner.
5. President GEJ ha no experienced politicians around him to mend fences and quicklyfix some nagging problems around the country and his questionable kinsmen are busy shouting around Nigeria.Its not good for his ambition.
6. If the President should bend on becoming the president at all cost, he may set the country on the path of irrecoverable disunity ,even serious civil strife but I pray Nigeria will be a great country.
May God help Nigeria,it is well

You really know what is going on here. GEJ needs to mend fences and he needs good and smart politicians around him if he wants to win 2015 which I doubt.

Mazi Eziachi, the Lord is your strength. Get well sir.

DerideGull: Nigeria is a patented jungle indeed. Even a backyard clown known as Esogban of Benin Kingdom is trying to draw attention. Benin Kingdom was a glorified village and ceased to exist since the British did a number on it.

Old man no dey disappoint, rubbish as usual.

Mr Yinka, you got it wrong this time, do you think it is easy for the ACN governors to source asphalt from heaven? The materials used for ACN states roads' construction are millions of miles away, I still believe that 1billion naira is not too much for a kilometer.

She did not follow protocol but GEJ is still our president.

[quote author=Frank-C]I cannot confirm this but a colleague put forward a plausible reason for this WS naked dance in the public. Could Deji be right when he mentioned that Amaechi and Wole Soyinka share something they consider very strong and which could be worth the dust? Could he be right that Amaechi and Soyinka share some sacred table of 'brotherhood'?

What exactly could make this man I so respect to throw caution in the wind and engage another man's wife in public quarrel? Deji could just be right afterall...[/quote]Shove your useless respect in your mouth. Do you think Prof Wole knows anything about your existence?

Awake9ja: WOLE SOYINKA TO ME NOW IS A PAID AGENT BY AMECHI

Whatever!
One thing is certain your governors in the SS will pay dearly for what you guys did to our governors.

I highly revere Prof Wole Soyinka for his stance on Rivers' crisis. I can't imagine my governor being pelted with stones by Rivers people. Surely, the consequence outweighs what they are doing now.

Never got any from my dad but got a resounding one from my mum.

Pk001: The Useless four?

Without any apology, can you say this to your father?

Hmmmn! We are watching.

Alexbond: If any body wanna pounce,then i wil drop my numba n recieve all insult via text message so it wil b personal n it won't hurt!!!

Just do what he asked you to do. The title does not make sense grammatically.

PointB: "Dangerous and terrible, house of deceit, no ideology, a political fraud, contraption of pain and anger" These are bad vibes, bad signals.

A typical Fx Trader will look at all these signals and call them a Convergence. It's time to dump the Tinubu brand or sink with it. It's not looking good.

Governor Sule Lamido is from NE not NC

Olaolufred: THE ROAD FROM LAGOS TO IBADAN WILL BE REHABILITATED. WITH AN ADDITIONAL LANE ADDED ON BOTH WAY. IT MEANS = 2 WAYS WITH 3 LANES EACH.
DISTANCE IS 145KM

You are wrong sir.
Additional lane will be added from Lagos to Shagamu Interchange while Shagamu to Ibadan remains 2 lanes.

apoti: Even thou I'm not a fan of GEJ. I do not subscribe to using any dubious means to oust him from Aso rock.

Let him contest for PDP primaries and if he wins, let him contest for the general election and let Nigerians decide

[quote author=la_unique]. Highly cerebral people don't stick to a singular area of interest, they study wide.[/quote]You are not making any sense at all.

Lazy ones should stop saying Prof. Soyinka made a 3rd class.

OP is a liar. He got it from the facebook and he twisted it.

A situation arose in a family, the man earns N150,000 in a month. The Wife earns N1million in a month and they work in the same company... One of them has to leave the job because its the company's new policy that couple will no more be tolerated to be on the same pay role. Besides, there had been an argument between this couple before that, someone should stay behind and take care of the kids after school. Whom do you think should leave the job and stay... ?

PointB: How would I blame you? You get easily carried away by the propaganda machine of the collective children of anger.

Here is the President response to the crisis:

But of course, you can never satisfy the world. I bet you know that already!

I have seen it before you post it.

VIVA Nigeria!

PointB: Let us clap for Soyinka and Femi Falana. They have spoken plenty grammar, albeit full of contradiction.


In one breath they asked the President to get involved in the situation in Rivers State, in another they asked the President to pay more attention to those murdering our children (in the North.)

Perhaps these men should be clearer - what is more deserving of attention? Boko Haram killing our children (in the North) or River State big men playing hide and seek with a Mace?

You are more intelligent that this PointB.
Are you saying it is a big task for GEJ to attend to the two points you raised above?

Prof Nwabueze should not be insulted by anyone let alone Edwin Clark his former student.

LAGOS — ELDER statesman and Chairman of The Patriots, Professor Ben Nwabueze, SAN, has described as gratuitous, comments attributed to leader of the South-South Assembly, Chief Edwin Clark referring to him as a person “camouflaging (his) political ideas and ambition with intellectualism ”and an “unpatriotic saboteur of the democratic process.”

The legal icon, in a statement noted that he served under the regime of General Ibrahim Babangida and not Sani Abacha, adding that there was nothing unpatriotic or undemocratic in his advice to President Goodluck Jonathan not to contest the 2015 election and focus his attention on the nobler task of leading Nigeria out of danger.

He said: “I only advised that the President, in exercising his God-given will and democratic/constitutional right, should not seek re-election in 2015, in order to be able, unconstrained by political interests, forces and considerations, to pursue the nobler object of leading Nigeria, as one united people, out of the present quagmire in which it finds itself.

“There is nothing ‘unconstitutional’ about the advice, as it leaves the President entirely free to decide for himself. My advice was given in all sincerity as what I would personally do if I were in the President’s position. But of course, as I said in the statement in which I gave the advice, he shall never be me, nor will I ever be him. He and I are created different human beings, with different visions, outlooks on life and passions.“I do not wish to exchange vituperative words with a former student of mine, whom I am proud to have taught Law in London in the 1960/61 and 1961/62 academic years, except only to say, by way of correction, that I served as Minister under the regime of General Babangida, not General Abacha.“I hope he will, as a mark of respect properly due to me from him as his former teacher, change his mind and attend the Uyo National Summit, now postponed to August 26, 27 and 28, 2013 especially as Mr. President himself has indicated his intention to be at the summit personally. I urge that we all get together at the summit to put our heads together in a joint effort to find solutions to the problems and challenges facing our country.”

thelastPope: See bro, let me lay it simple for you. I have never been against Nigeria having a good opposition and an alternative. PDP is far from perfect! A good opposition is actually good for us all. But what irks me to my bone is that these so called opposition are a bunch of freaking hypocrites with zero love for Nigeria! Absolutely no love or patriotism for Nigeria. they are just seeking to grab power and enslave the rest of us. The day I see real opposition, I will know and will support them

+1000

I couldn't have said it better.

dayokanu: PDP take over which SW? For dem dreams

Just wait and see what will happen starting from 2014

mbulela: Is that a curse or what?

No, but prayer from the bottom of my heart.
