Speaking to such a large Crowd with no Voice enhancement whatsoever... The place looks disorganized.....

I thought I was the only one who noticed, looked like an airport where passengers are waiting to board he next flight.

Fayose is an embarrassment to us especially in the sw

omenka:
Jonathan's insistence on contesting in 2011 rubbished the power rotation arrangement between the North and South.

Had Jo stepped aside and allowed a Northerner the position (just to complete Yar-Adua's second term) with an inviolable agreement power would return to the South in 2015, he would have emerged a national icon respected across board, and had he indicated an interest to contest in 2015 afterwards, I doubt there would have been a more popular candidate from the South than himself. He would have been literally "appointed" the president.

Now, the arrangement is messed up. Buhari might likely run for a second term after which I know the North would throw their weight behind a South West candidate. But, should Baba decide to step aside, Osinbajo would likely be thrown up and with Baba's support, the North would likely still gravitate towards him.

On the other side, if the later scenario is thrown up in APC and PDP, as they are planning to, puts up a Northern candidate, odds are that PDP would lose woefully, not for reason of the candidate himself but because of the choice of his vice -Karma. BUT, if PDP beats the odds and emerges victorious, we'll have a situation where power would stay in the North for 12 long years, bringing me back to my opening statement about the wrong choice Jo made in 2011.

there was nothing wrong in Jonathan contesting in 2011, 2015 was where the problem was, Jonathan would have allowed a northerner to contest and insist on nominating a candidate from the south just like tinubu did in APC. Jona would have easily replaced obj as the soul of pdp but mhen the guy was too greedy and wanted it all, now with obj gone, pdp does not have a leader to navigate things for them any longer

orlaryemy:
Decision makers in PDP are surely not smart, similar strategy was employed in 2015 and failed. Ignore south west at your own peril, it will will fail again and at the last minute pdp would start sharing money to Yoruba Obas just like last election.

Exactly the sw is going to come with lots of propaganda which other regions and pdp will find difficult to counter

pdp is getting too desperate when its still 3 years away, thereby showing their strategy too early, APC on the other hand now have enough time to counter this strategy, those who think the APC will implode are just kidding. The APC will do all it takes to retain power in 2019 except the PDP can be smart enough in the NASS to ensure the card reader is enshrined in the constitution before the 2019 elections as the supreme court has invalidated the card readers and PVCs, only these electronic devices can make an opposition party win aso rock which favoured the APC in 2015.

The best chance PDP have to win aso rock is in 2023 when the south west will insist its their turn to be President in APC, PDP can then offer their ticket to any northerner to be President and if they still have the ss and se in their kitty, they will easily have the presidency back but for 2019, PDP should concentrate on winning more states in preparation for 2023 when their chances are brighter.

Impressive from Ogun state, taking advantage of its proximity to Lagos, am also impressed with Anambra state.

Just shows if our states govt can push more, there will be more development across the nation

Why did Fayose not take this man along with him to china nah?

Air Peace owned by..........

FG gives them a licence to fly international.

SoME PEOPLE WILL JUST BE WAILING, WHILE OTHERS ARE BALLING

uduak2016:
Something keeps telling me that Buhari might cancel this...to frustrate SE.

stop the negativity, its not good

Heavance:
Most news here seem to be speculations, reading through many comments, I fear its just hype o.
I really hope things work out in this country, be it APC or PDP, I just wonder why people love to throw insults at one another when anything appears in the news. If Buhari achieves, it's for everyone's benefits, If PDP does, it's still for our good, directly or indirectly we get affected if they do negative things.

Exactly, National development must come first

xharder:
I just called an uncle who works with peace air, he told me the process has been on for over 2 year now and was approved just last week. the approval took buhari unaware because he would have cancelled it. it was the government of enugu state and some stake holders and investors that fought for the approval and with the help of DSP ekweremmadu, peace mass transit, etc. the people of enugu should be thanking Jonathan and his aviation minister for making enugu airport an international one in the first place. Buhari and his cohort has noting to do with this. the next is to give us all the embassies of the approved route most especially US embassy.

You are not making sense pls, is it ekweremadu or the enugu governor that approved it, what if it was not approved, pls let's leave all this talk and focus more on how to bring more development.

There is a bad trend we are gradually developing, where the present FG is moving things, we keep saying its the handiwork of the previous govt, we are creating a needless battle that will boomerang if care is not taken, for e.g. the mambilla power plant was renegotiated late last year for a project that was already cancelled and folks came up to say it was the work of the previous govt.

Let's stop all this and be more Nationalistic, once again its great seeing international flights from Enugu, this will reduce the needles vehicular traffic around the Lagos airports, now that's progress and am happy

The reason is simple, fellows in the Niger delta prefer individual money settlement than critical infrastructure that drives development, hence the so called success of the amnesty program. When last did we hear the likes of asari dokubo and others fighting for the development of their region.

They have been settled individually which is what they prefer. Its also evident in the way the calabar rail project is being refused by the region

teezarmanni:
he has a point,he is not to profer the solution cause he is just a civilian he is only enlightening people like you who don't learn and reason

If he can't profer solution, I insist he has no point, i refuse to join your wagon of complainants, i have moved on

If there is a cabinet reshuffle today, I think this minister might be the first to go

Good news, I celebrate any good news coming from Nigeria.

Let's always be positive with any good development, pulling ourselves down because of our differences will never bring development and the western world will continue to take advantage of our differences.

Again its positive seeing another Nigerian airline airlifting passengers directly to specific destinations out of Nigeria.

When names of ministerial nominees were being bandied around & some were insisting governor & minister can't come from same place, he refuted that stand with this;

In short,no need dressing it in fine clothes, Prof is suffering from bad belletisis,

With all his fancy airs & grandstanding, we can all see how Bank PHB ended up!! Theory nor be Practical!!


Finally, Pat should know that, in a race between him & kachikwu, he is a non starter!

He may be fairer than the moon, Ibe Kachikwu is the Light!!

You bad no be small, na my prof u finish like this?

Only those who want to be entertained listen to the odemwinge wannabe

megama:
can somebody tell me if this loan can fix our local industries or cripple them futher,for me as a businessman I know that China is only an export oriented country. They must always protect their interest first. By the way why not reduce our reserve by $2 billion. Instead of borrowing with interest, NIGERIA be wise.

Reducing our reserve for more corruption to take place, I beg o

Interesting times, if that's the kind of nation we want

So be it, na one vote I get

Csami:
He also proffered a solution. He mentioned true federalism.

The people shouting true federalism these days were the ones who destroyed it in the 1960s when it was working wonders, they never knew the value then until now, getting it back I doubt but it is a welcome idea but one issue we keep silent about is the actual function of states governors, they play a critical role in development you know

saraki can chew the budget for all I care , at least we now know that our lawmakers are more interested in grinding machines, boreholes, keke marwa e.t.c than critical infrastructure

IVORY2009:
Bro , so are you saying ICC can not persecute president Buhari, especially if he is found to be guilty of charges filed against him, by the plaintiff? And also becos Nigeria is an emerging global power? You're a joker.....

Ok nah be waiting for Buhari's prosecution, Nigeria may be a zoo to some of you but the animals in the zoo eh, their teeth strong wella

IVORY2009:
There is no "international politics" here bro, there are facts and figuares to nail "Buhari" he seems not to understand wat is about to happen, he is the commander-in-chief of the arm forces, he is the one that ordered the shooting frm Abuja to his COAS and boys.

and you think PMB is a chicken that can be nailed abi? This is Nigeria and not sudan or central african republic, check wikipedia, Nigeria is an emerging global power and a middle power in international affairs, who be ICC? abegi

The west should leave Nigeria alone, it not compulsory we continue to trade with their damn dollars all the time.

They should Kindly leave us alone to decide our destiny as a nation

deathmen12:
Mr. Am nt a politician ok... Dont let your hatred blind u from the truth. All this politicians speak the same language.

so what language do want them to speak now, itsekiri, edo or spanish, truth is you are not clear on what you want

but folks are buying fuel for 300 per litre in ondo so what's up with the op here.

I hope later we will not hear that fresh air in the Niger delta is different from the one folks breathe in the sw

Nonsense as usual, spits on thread

Guyman02:
You dont know Maitama Sule (Danmasanin Kano)?
Indomie Generations spotted ;

This is why history should be taught in our schools including adding the Civil War to the curriculum, so that the new generation will know where the country is coming from.

you took the words out of my mouth, truly its time Nigerian Political history is made a compulsory subject in our schools, too much ignorance these days, I once heard a lad asking who Awolowo is, that's how bad it is o

agreed, so what are the alternatives? We need to proffer solutions more these days than complain.

But if its all about complain, then sorry op you've got no point

Deen77:
That is for sure, international politics. Can Nigeria stand among the equal, Russian, China Iran & India dumping dollars.....

If we get behind the Govt, Nigeria can, but then we are not united

ilawanson44:
You are more than right! The despot was busy running Nigeria like it's his personal property not knowing that the turn out of events which is linked to his tyrannical tendencies was being watched by the International Community! I have a friend who stays in the Netherlands and he intended coming home (Nnewi) to invest before the outcome of the elections which was rigged by Jega in buhari's favor.

The guy decided to chill to see how the political and economical atmosphere under the gworo-chewing mallam would look like and as if he knew, the economy started crashing! Then came the event of the massacre of Shiites and the IPOB protesters. The latter angered my guy and he gathered enough footage of the events both on paper and electronic media then proceeded to the Hague with some other IPOB agitators living in Holland and nearby EU Countries.

The money which he wanted to come home to invest was what he used in covertly reaching out to lawyers there. I tried to dissuade him from "wasting his money" but he waved it off and said it was better to make an attempt to do something than remain silent! This news shows that his efforts and that of some other individuals have finally paid off!

The incarceration buhari put Nnamdi Kanu i will definitely knock on his door soon! The best he will get is a life-long asylum in Yemen! TYRANT!

Interesting!!!
