Politics › Re: Anambra Governorship Is Not For Boys – Ngige Tells Obiano by gratiaeo(m): 5:51pm On Oct 15, 2013
Goddex: That statement smacks of his well-known ‘’god-fatherist’’ instincts, which he has been using to dictate and monopolize decisions in his various, one-man-party summersaults – AC, ACN and now APC – all in six years!!. AD advises Tinubu not to let his dictatorial tendencies of godfather ego be the cause of an implosion in his latest, ideologically-barren political gang-up, which seems to have no deeper rationale than just opposing the PDP and taking over the Presidency.

The above statements is from Afeniferi to Tinubu.
Imagine what will happen to Anambra state when Ngige begin to service his godfather (tinubu) with Anambra state money.

Her stock in trade is fvking boys young enough to be her son and manipulating their destinies. Jim Iyke is one of her victims. She is pure evil and NOTHING good can come out of her reign in the aviation sector.

We need to give attention to
every sector and not just
being concerned about the
aviation woes. The State and
Federal Govt should give
great concern to the roads
and not just think of the
woes in the aviation sector
alone. Lagos/Badagry, Lagos/Ibadan expressway, Benin/Ore road, infact all the federal and state roads should be given great attention.
It is sad that people loose
their lives daily on our roads.
Not much attention is being
given to this area that
millions of people travel on.
Just as I am concern about
the aviation sector, I am
much more concerned about
the safety on the roads. Our
leaders should wake up to
their responsibilities and give
attention to the Nigeria roads
that have suddenly become
death traps.
I pray that the Lord will
touch the hearts of our
leaders and not just being
concerned about their selfish
ambition while lives are
perishing.
Politics › Fashola: Nigeria Must Punish Those Behind Aviation Woes by gratiaeo(op): 6:38am On Oct 15, 2013
Kazeem Ugbodaga
Governor Babatunde Fashola of
Lagos State, western Nigeria,
has called on the Federal
Government to mete out
appropriate punishment on all
those behind the numerous
woes being experienced in the
aviation sector.
The nation’s aviation sector has
in recent time come under
serious problem and national
embarrassment, with the
Associated Airline that crashed
early this month, and two other
planes in near mishap in less
than two weeks.
Fashola, who received the Air
Officer Commanding, Logistic
Command, Nigerian Air Force,
Ikeja, Air Vice Marshal Monday
Morgan on a courtesy visit at
the State House, Ikeja, Lagos,
Southwest Nigeria on Monday
said it was by meting out
appropriate punishment on
those who compromised
standards in the Aviation
industry that the problems in
the sector could be curbed.
“It is no secret that a section of
our national life which you are
concerned with the military part
of it, the aviation industry is
under public scrutiny now,
which is safety in the sky. I
want to use this medium to
appeal to you and your
colleagues in the aviation
sector, that what is needed to be
done in order to improve upon
safety in that area must be
done.
“We must never think twice
about it. It makes our job easy.
This is because we have
responsibility for safety of life
and property in the state. But it
isn’t only safety that is induced
by terror and crime. We cannot
secure life and property if
certain safety standards aren’t
kept,” he explained.
“It adds to the index of the
causalities that we may have to
deal with. There must be
uncompromising standards
about ensuring safety whether
on the side of the military or
aviation. Everybody must work
together to make the Nigerian
Aviation industry safer so that
when people board aircraft from
the country, they must feel
confident that nothing unusual
will happen,” he added.
The governor explained that
everyone knew that aircraft
were mechanical devices that
could fail, stressing that there is
a protocol for keeping
mechanical devices operational
and functional.
“And all those in the aviation
industry know what all these
protocols are about. And if
people drop the ball in those
areas, there must be nothing
fitting and proper than the
extreme punishment in order to
demonstrate the value that we
put on the life of every Nigerian.
That is the only way we can
ensure that people who are
entrusted with other people’s
life will treat those lives with the
same level of care, as they will
treat their own,” he stated.
Morgan commended Fashola on
his effort to improve the
security situation in the state,
stressing that the governor’s
aggression and youthfulness
had brought positively progress
in the development of the state.
“It gives me a lot of hope that
Nigeria is benefitting from the
wealth of experience of the
youth. Your common
contribution to the security
agencies in the state has helped
to boost the morale of the
security officers and I want to
assure you today that we will
always be available to render
our service to the state
whenever we are called upon,”
he stated.
He stated that the Air Force
would like to be part of
developmental trend while
appealing to the governor to
extend his hand of friendship to
structures that were begging for
redevelopment within the base
as the military budget could not
cover all the expenses.

biggie01: For your infomation, APC has four northern governors and SE has only one, as for oligarchy or power, if you like call it autocracy or inpunity what matter is, they are united and if democracy is allowed they will win because of their consensus.

Finally the north will vote overwhelming for APC even if PDP chose a chore northern candidate, see let remind you that the major vehicle of massive support for APC is not who PDP brings but how transparent their primaries are and also the sincerity of their chieftains. so long Buhari and Tinubu including Rochas put Nigeria ahead of their selfish interest, APC will subdue Aso villa come 2015.
Am ain't a political analyst but i know that politics is a game of "interest" (what is in there for me) do you believe that people like IBB, Danjuma, Atiku, Gowon, Abudulsalami', all northern governors, all senators, House of assemble members, serving ministers local government chairmens etc will dump their "personal interest" to support Apc?
Have you ask your self why newpdp members refused to join another party?
Politics › Re: APC Zones Vice Presidency To South-West, Shops For Nominee by gratiaeo(m): 2:04pm On Oct 14, 2013
biggie01: I have read with keen interest the contribution of fellow nairalanders to this purpottedly biased report and i discovered majority of the responders didnt read the report in between lines. why is the position of the senate president not reported? why is this kind of report coming some days to Anambra gurbernitorial election? which conference was held to conclude on this? a party made up of several conglomerates will just meet in a sitting room of one chieftain to decide? smh!! do you all think the reason for Okorocha's participation is to run for the VP's position in 2015?

To correct your ignorance, it is posible for the party to choose VP from the SW but not in this way, why is it posible:

1. The strenght of this revolution called party is in these regions
2. The party is yet to gain much recognition in the SE, there is need for a long time orientation and political play in this region.
3. Over 80% of the governors that made up the party comes from the SW and North.
4. You can add your own.............

Hence, SE will surely have the senate presidents position if eventually APC wins 2015 but they have 80% chances of becoming either VP or president in 2019 on the condition that they unanimously vote for APC. it is no magic, it is a struggle, a struggle that started far back as 2007 between the SW and the North. a region that is yet to vote massively for a party to become their governor, is that the region one expects to have a massive support for the VP's position just because one of them is choosing? infact Okorocha himself knows this that the future of SE is in their hands because what devide them is worst than even their agitation and this the fact that they are not united politically. truth is bitter yet it has to be told.

Another fact, Okorocha will not leave APC even after the presidential primaries why because:

1. He will go for his second term has governor, the state APC political structure is too sentitive at present to handover to another person.

2. He knows how shallow oriented his region his as far as the party is concern and this is the reason he has been doing everything in his capacity to secure their support, not until then he wont campaign for such position.

3. If he tries to pick the ticket, he will not win the primaries not until he is able to secure the region with the support of his associates.
Very nice.... Pls remind me the number of APC governor in the North
Secondly; what's interest of northern oligarchy is it party or power?
Do you believe that North will support APC if PDP decide to chose their frag bearer from north?

Kei144: A respected prophet (Suleiman?) wrote clearly that Igbos should forget Nigeria's presidency (forever), but unbelieving Igbos think it is a joke. Igbos don't know what it means to be Jews. Being Jews means that Deuteronomy 28:15-68 applies to Igbos.

De. 28:15 However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving
you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:
De. 28:36 The LORD will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your fathers. There you will
worship other gods, gods of wood and stone.
De. 28:37 You will become a thing of horror and an object of scorn and ridicule to all the nations where the LORD will drive you.


Thanks be to God that end time has come. https://www.nairaland.com/1447777/apocalyptic-end-time-begins-2014

Igbos will become a prominent people known to the whole world, but the prominence will be due to spiritual accomplishments and not political, academic, scientific, or business accomplishments. Now is a time for paradigm shift towards spiritual inclination for wise Igbos.

Politics › Omisore, Osun Govt Trade Words On Merger Of Schools by gratiaeo(op): 7:59am On Oct 14, 2013
BY LEKE ADESERI, South West Regional Editor & DAYO JOHNSON
AKURE — SENATOR Iyiola Omisore, weekend, described as regressive and confusing the merging of schools in Osun State by Governor Rauf Aregbesola.

The former senator from Osun East in the National Assembly, said the action was a reflection of lack of administrative qualities.
Omisore spoke in Akure after paying condolence visit to Chief Olu Falae on the death of his son, Deji in a plane crash recently.
He said that the merger of schools “is unfortunate to be happening to us in the 21st century. I believe that it is a sign of lack of content and lack of in-depth administrative qualities in the area of education.
“Now schools are being merged, schools of different cultures, different backgrounds, some are males only, some females only; they are now being merged under the guise of educational policy.
“I think that is a start of gangsterism, activism, I think the government is under siege; it is confused.”
According to the former deputy governor: “The people have the right to protest the merger because it is against their wish and aspiration particularly, when in many states, schools are being returned to the missions.
Omisore boasted that, “I am telling you, we are going to eject the young man out of the Government House in 2014 by God’s grace.
He’s ignorant of the issues — Osun govt In a swift reaction, the state government through the Director of Bureau of Communication and Strategy, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon said it is sad that Senator Omisore is unaware of issues surrounding ownership of schools: “The structures that we met were so bad that we decided that we were not going to allow it. Some schools were beyond repairs and were evident reasons of the mass failure in public examinations.
“Even if we wanted to repair them, they were so bad that repairing them would amount to sheer waste of our scarce resources.
“The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, UNESCO, says there must not be more than 1,000 students in a school. Beyond that, the management of the school will be difficult.
“Conscious of this fact, we decided that we should build schools with all facilities for children’s development –mental, physical and psycho- motor, in a given place to give value to investment.
“Omisore’s incoherent, uncoordinated attack on the education reforms in Osun only demonstrates his penchant and those of his cohorts for the kind of educational standards that his party sustained in order to keep the bulk of our people totally relegated and weakened to be productive enough for the society.


“Selfish in their actions, parochial in their thoughts, Omisore and the culture he represents would never see anything good in people-focused, development-oriented educational policies that seek to make a total, independent man out of an Osun child.
“Did this former senator ever bother about the statistics of performance of students in Osun to have the correct figures. We are happy to educate him that in 2009, Osun was 34th; in 2010 before this administration came in, Osun was 32nd, but the first examination conducted in 2011 after the emergence of this administration and a quick intervention, Osun came to 18th position in the country which still remains unacceptable. So, we challenge Omisore to come out with his statistics and where he sourced it from.
“We must add here that it is obvious that Omisore was jolted by the royal endorsement of the Aregbesola educational reforms in Osun by his monarch, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.” Coming on a day that national dailies reported Omisore’s traditional ruler as commending the education reforms and restructuring, describing it as the best thing that is happening to the state, Omisore has certainly lost touch with his root as he seeks to fault his traditional ruler over his honest assessment of the current trend in education in Osun..

pazienza: That happened ages ago, why can't you guys let that go already, how long do you intend to gloat over it?


Nigerians had since recognized their folly,and had come to believe in Keshi and his tactics, and their support for this team had been unconditional since then.

Most of them watched this match with their hearts on the hands, they cheered for this team, why must you try to make them bitter,after their team had win?

Why must you ascribe the whole glory to your group? is it fair? Without the support of all Nigerian groups, where do you think this team will be now.


You guys should stop this already,it's becoming too childish.
One wonder why it keep on coming from a particular section of the country
From AIYETOKO

•So, Stephen Keshi has
taken the Green Eagles to
the final of AFCON and
Nigerians and the Nigerian
media are rejoicing. What a
display of shortsightedness. Is this not the same nation that
wrote off the team when it
looked as if it would not get
out of the group stage? And
rightly so too!
On my part, I don't care if
Stephen Keshi wins the cup
and makes history as the
second person to ever win
the competition as a player
and as a coach; he is not
worthy of his job and he
must be sacked and his job
given to someone who
understands the politics of
national football team
management. Yes, the
politics! For what does
talent has to do with
representing our nation?
Ask yourself an honest
question: is it fair that
Keshi selected a team
devoid of our beloved
practice of Federal
Character? Just examine
the squad list:
Vincent Enyeama,
Joseph Yobo, Elderson
Echiejile, Obiora
nwankwo, Efe
Ambrose, Azubuike
Egwuekwe, Brown
Ideye, Emmanuel
Emenike, John Obi
Mikel, Reuben Gabriel,
Fegor Ogude, Godfrey
Oboabona,
Ikechuckwu Uche,
Austin Ejide, Ogenyi
Onazi. Ejike Uzoenyi,
Sunday Mba, Nosa
Igiebor, Juwon
Oshaniwa, Kenneth
Omeruo, Chigozie
Abim.
If you cannot see that this
is an Igbo team, then you
should take yourself to
Specsavers for a pair of
good glasses. How can we
as a nation rejoice in a
team that does not reflect
our unity in diversity? Is
Keshi saying that there are
no Yoruba or Hausa
players worthy of
selection? Of course there
are! Keshi has put up
nothing but an Igbo team
with a few odd inclusion of
non-Igbo players
amounting to nothing but
tokenism! It is for this
reason that
his achievement is tainted!
Kai! How did a PDP
Government, a party so
vast in the promotion of
regional inclusiveness even
allow Stephen Keshi to get
away with this aberration?
Is this not the same party
that have sectioned the
Presidency into turns? Yes,
every region must wait
their turn to present a
president and it does not
matter if he or she is the
village idiot. PDP carry go!
It beggars belief therefore
that Nigerians are rejoicing
as a nation and pretending
that all is well with the
team simply because the
Eagles seem to be flying
again. I ask, whatever
happened to our psyche
which relies on the
principle of "not
sufficient to rely on the
best, we must call on
the rest." For how else
will the rest be expected to
have a sense of national
pride if no one from their
tribe is represented in the
team? Keshi errs therefore
in selecting an unbalanced
national team made up
mainly of people from one
section of the nation
to represent us; surely that
is why it is called a national
team. We need a team to
include players with names
like Adunbarin Agbabiaka,
Wole Eniolorunopa, Segun
Legunleko, Akin
Jengbojenju, Danlami
Dahiru, Ahmed Danbaba,
Balarabe Gambo, Bashir
Bako; and if you cannot see
this, you
are seriously compromised!
Who does he think he is
then, only taking the best?
What does having the
talent to kick around a
football has to do with
anything? With such
unsound rationale, Stephen
Keshi has missed the point
of this job: a national
coach must rise above
myopic sentiments and
select a team reflective of
our national and federal
character. Every region, I
submit, must get its quota!
So, trophy or no trophy,
Stephen Keshi must be
summarily dismissed and
good old Federal Character
reinstated pronto!

This team was once tagged a sectional team from a particular section of this country and demand for the coach to be sacked
•
The present set of Super Eagles, assembled by Coach Stephen Keshi has been described as a sectional team which doesn’t reflect the true representation of Nigeria’s strength in soccer and
the federal character symphony we always see in our national teams.
Chairman Oyo State Chapter of
Nigerian Union of Journalist,
Comrade Gbenga Opadotun
made this call in Ibadan while
reacting on the dismal outing of the Super Eagles in their first outing in the on-going African Nations Cup in South Africa.
The NUJ boss queried why a
player like Obafemi Martins
with his improved form was
excluded from the AFCON team leaving the team without any player from South-West geo-political zone of the country.
''What we all wanted is the
success of our national team but Coach Stephen Keshi has given lots of room for questions in the composition and way he assembled his team for the Nation Cup, there is no way that one would not be forced to ask questions with what the team played against Burkina-Faso in their first match.
''Without any prejudice to this
present crop of players and
their handler, me I don’t see
them as a true representation of our present strength in the
game of football that we all love and follow in Nigeria. Keshi should try and balance the composition of the team to
reflect federal character that is
being practiced in the country”,
Opadotun, an ardent 3SC fan
noted.
