Lol another identity politic clown. Who said I'm Igbo you daft kid. I should leave you guys to your primitive identity politics since common sense to much for you. Your own politicians called for and held south governors forum to discuss policies but you daft to remember that.


Politics is about policies not primitive identity politics. Only idiots find this hard to grasp.

Dont mind the f00ls. Let them continue to disgrace themselves here. South east and South South formed their governors forum leaving the South west out, it was the south west governors that initiated the Southern governors forum and this hopeless ones are making noise here.

oooduancalmdown:
I have got no time for your bullshhit. Stay in your lane and leave Yoruba people alone. The only thing you iboes do is blame others for your problems.
Face iboeland

You are just here on the internet making noise and disgracing yourself while igbos are buying up your so called land and doing business there. You cant send them out because you lack the powers to do so. Since you cant chase igbos out of your so called land then SHAME ON YOU.

All you can do is just the weeping and wailing that you and your cohorts are doing here from day to day. You can never chase igbos out of your land so continue to disgrace yourself here.

Alariwo2:
Don't mind those mischief makers from across the Niger..

As a Yoruba man, I see everyone including Igbos, Hausas, Ijaws etc equally as fellow Nigerians. No special preference whatsoever.

There is nothing like Southern unity in my dictionary. It's just a plot by some greedy ones to corner all posts and benefits to themselves alone.
They never thought of Yorubas during GEJ, they faced only SS and North. Now that they've misfired, they are preaching useless unity.
Southern unity my foot!

Who called you for southern unity? Your Oni of Ife has been the one running round Igbo land and preaching the unity but the hypocrisy that is in your blood will not let you say the truth. Your people are in igbo land for the whatever summit they are attending on southern unity. You have to deal with the SHAME that you couldnt stop them. Quite a huge shame on you.

What do they have to defend him when Nigerians are suffering so much under this government?

Its only those who wants to deceive themselves that will deny the failure of this government to give Nigerians a better living.

We won't be back stabbed for the 3rd time

We say NO to any Alliance

You visited us and you are still the one bragging here.

zombieTRACKER:
You are a disgrace to human race

The guy is truly a disgrace to humanity and a pathetic case for that matter.

His type supports or condemn leaders brainlessly without tangible reason to back up their stand.

Lomprico2:
U no get sense.

No sense in your comment

LionDeLeo:
That's exactly what I said, I support Atiku 100%

Exactly my point.

LionDeLeo:
I think Atiku should be voted for the following reasons.

He promised to become igbo the moment he win.

He will also change his religion from islam.

He will replace all the northerners in govt with igbos.

He will jail Buhari

He will run his govt without oyel money.

So, Atiku has my vote.

A very good way to disgrace yourself and submit that you actually have no tangible reason against Atiku.

No long talk. Its a challenge here.

Atiku supporters pls give five reasons why he should be voted in 2019 Presidential election.

Those against Atiku pls give five reasons why he should not be voted.

If you don't have anything to say pls keep quiet and read what others are posting. Thanks

No long talk. Its a challenge here.

Buhari supporters pls give five reasons why he should be voted again.i

Those against Buhari pls give five reasons why he should not be voted again in 2019.

If you don't have anything to say pls keep quiet and read what others are posting. Thanks

Cry all you like.. PDP is not coming back.
#Forwardever

The days when focus was on party are gradually getting over. Wake up from sleep
This is 2018. Focus is now shifting to individuals and their track records.

We hope that more Northerners will join the race in the days ahead and Nigerians will decide who they want, not party. Both APC and PDP are the same party of deceits.

[quote author=wwwkaycom post=64031841]Forget it brother, Buhari need the votes of every parts of Nigeria to win. Nevertheless, the total number of registered voters in the entire southeast is just the same as the number of registered voters in Kano State only. Can you guess the implications of that?[/quote]The north has so many under age voters that's one of the reasons they have much voters.

South east dont show much interest in politics and that's a good number of them are reluctant in going for voters registration.

To come out and vote on election day is a problem in the east. If not for the restriction of movement during election, igbos will be recording much lower turn out than they do now because they will rather go to their shop on that day than vote.

Some of his supporters here have been making noise here that Buhari doesn't need south east votes to win.
Meanwhile the man has been moving from one south east state to the other to get our support. Today he is moving to Abia state for campaign.

Shame on the noise makers here who make silly submissions to defend him.
Buhari has shamed u people.

Obviously, even Buhari himself knows that 2019 election will be tough but some stupld supporters of him keeps deceiving themselves that it will be easy win for Buhari.

SouthEastFacts:
Its only NW that will vote Buhari. As usual, votes from SW will be splitted.

Sure the south west will split their vote. Buhari will get more votes from Yoruba muslims than christians.
Buhari will also have split votes in the north because they may have 3 candidates from there so it wont be like 2015 when it was north vs south.
Buhari will get less votes in the south east and south south.

Obviously,, even Buhari is not sure of his victory that's he is coming back to Igbo land to campaign despite the 5% he from our people here which some Yorubas here refer to as irrelevant votes.

Quite a shame on those of them who kept on making noise here that Buhari does not need Igbo votes to win. Today he is taking his campaign to Igbo land to the shame of his ignorant supporters.

sarrki:
My dear nothing you asked of me that I won't give

Give me just 3k dollars since u are a giver. As you can see its a modest request. I 'm not greedy. Then u can continue with your war.

What evidence do you have of Jonathan's corruption except the old rehearsed lies of the APC?

Jonathan allowed free flow of corruption. Remember Dasuki , Alison Madueke and even Jonathan's wife. Many other cases. Don't even defend Jonathan
He failed.

verydark:
the way they are talking nonesense is annoying.they cant stop annoying us daily.make them wait till next elections,mbanu.na buhari this,buhari that daily.shameless people.

See how you are disgracing yourself

iamrealdeji:
Bros,you're not the only one that feels that way o. I used to be a die hard Buhari supporter too but I've come to admit he's a total mess. but some people are still bringing up silly excuses for his numerous shortcomings. I consider such people as proud and they feel they're more perfect than being humans. they feel anything they say is final. they don't want to say otherwise from all they've said about Buhari during his campaigning. they want to be right always they want to be seen as prophets but their prophesy is totally wrong. people should admit Buhari is a mess and stop deceiving themselves

My dear i thought that Buhari's hard stand against corruption will translate to good governance but that was wrong of me. Leadership quality is a different thing entirely. Osibanjo has leadership qualities much more than Buhari. Infact Buhari has none.

As you can see his supporters here are bringing up silly excuses as usual to defend him. For me we need to look for a candidate with excellent leadership qualities to vote for in 2019. Atiku is not an option for me though. I believe more credible Nigerians will come into the race in the weeks and months ahead. If a credible candidate comes and pick Osibanjo or a another good Yoruba leader as his running mate i will vote for them, My concern here is not about my Igbo tribe. Nigeria needs to move out of this current mess asap. Thats the main thing now. And if they get it right they can go for second term, i dont care, i will still vote for them.

SLIDEwaxie:
don't wait bro... You know what to do

Obviously what you will do when Buhari crashes out.

kings09:
U realize am only being sarcastic wit my comment.

You can see the height of foolishness he displayed. This tells much about the kind of mindset that supporters of Buhari in the face of the current hardship in the country possesses. Its quite pathetic.

omololu2020:
who cares about junaid Mohammed, Yoruba's gat the minister of finance,the minister of finance it's the most powerful minister in the FEC.

We will support buhari in 2019 again

Chai.. see a shameless response. And the minister of finance is dashing you money every day or what? Look for a better way of putting what you have written here than the pathetic way you ve put it.

I never believed that Buhari will govern this country to this horrible state that it is now.
Yea GEJ failed but what we are seeing in this government is failure too on their own part. So far so bad.

I never believed that things will go this horrible to the point of suffering fuel scarcity again after Buhari increased it to 145 naira per litre. I bought at 210 naira today. What a shame.
I never believed that dollar will rise to 365 naira per dollar within a year or two of Buhari's stay in power.
I never believed the price of goods will rise so sharply within few months of Buhari's stay in power.
The case of Fulani herdsmen and Buhari's silence is so unbelievable yet true. Too many things to mention but let me stop here for now.

The most pathetic thing about all these and more is that Buhari's supporters shamelessly look for stupld excuses to defend their master. Quite a shame. I am tired of their vain and inglorious excuses. They should give us a break pls. I was also a Buhari supporter but i dont support people so foolishly.

I have come to the realization that Buhari lacks leadership qualities. People like me supported him due to his hard stand on anti corruption and the fact that we needed to end Jonathan's thief thief government. GEJ was not an option at all and he remains not an option for me even today. He failed woefully too. Next election in 2019 i am gonna look out for a man with leadership qualities backed with excellent track record of leadership skills. Enough of this mess.

ashjay001:
Oga honourhim, pension contributions, promotion allowance is part of salaries! Also, not all ministries were being owed.

In all developed nations, we're aspiring to emulate, d price of goods n services aint cheap! An african broom is being sold for $20+! Export yams n u become a millionaire! They even pay their farmers not to plant(cereals esp), so as to keep prices up! Go to SA n compare d prices of good n services.

If goods get any cheaper n 1naira=$1, then Africans would abandon Europe n make a beeline for Nigeria!

Always view d bigger picture!

I'm not saying they're d best, but they're an upgrade on all we've had before. Fash is 'talking' sense, lets see if he can 'do' sense!

So what you are saying here is that the hike in dollar rate is good; From 199 naira per dollar to 360 naira?
Fuel price from 87 naira per litre to 220 naira per litre as it currently is?
Bag of rice from 8000 naira to the current rate of 15000 naira per bag?
Triple increase in the cost of goods and services as they presently are?
You call this normal?
Is this what we can present as a defence to Buhari's failure?

Igbos eating their vomit enmass .. ..................tufiak....

You feel pain because Buhari is coming to beg igbos to vote for him after you and your people had senselessly bragged here that he doesn't need Igbo votes. Quite a shame on you

The main problem was lack of repentance. Check verse 30 of the scripture you quoted and you will see that the rich man mentioned it.

I supported Buhari before but i say no to him now i

blacknp:
Sorry to say nothing has to do with President Buhari your state Governors are the ones that mistreated you,what did they do with their Federal Allocation and how much did they generate internally,Automated Mumu.

Both state governors and Buhari are monumental failures just like Jonathan and his governors were failures. Except governor Chime of Enugu who did so well and few others across the country.

Children like you are always throwing abuse to people. It is in my own case that you will learn the lesson of your life.. May the abuse you threw at me return to you. Next time dont abuse people when they did not abuse you. My post to you was free of abuse.

docadams:
You people never learn. It is unfortunate.

Learn what? The hardship in this administration is biting everyone so what are you talking about?

Everybody must not support one candidate. A few of us in igbo land supported Buhari and thats just it. Leave those who are not supporting him alone pls. If Buhari maltreats Igbos today when he leaves person another will come and treat them well. Nobody stays in that office forever.

Clemzzz:
If the Igbo are sane enough, their senses will make them understand that there is blessing in disguise for them if Buhari wins in 2019. Take for instance, if Atichukwu wins that's another eight years for the Northerners to rule this country again. So what will be your portion, Igbo?


Though Buhari will still win for sure!

Many of us are not interested in Igbo president thing that you people make so much noise about. What Igbos want is a president that will make things better for them to excel. If you are a careful observer you will notice that igbos are always reluctant to go for voters registration, they are reluctant in coming out to vote on election day.It was during Jonathan that they were moved to come out because they saw that the north was trying to intimidate Jonathan.

Ordinarily we dont care about the igbo president thing. Its the politicians that make the noise. The day federal government stops the restriction of movement during election you will see that voting in igbo land will be so low because they will be in their shops selling their goods.

rose54321:
I actually like this guy, seems enlightened. One of the few governors that have condemned the Fulani isuue, joined the ENDSARS movement and lamented over fuel scarcity during the Yuletide.

I like his profile. Its just like the late Yaradua, when i read his profile before that election i was quite in impressed and the guy came in and performed so well within his short stay as the president. I still miss that man so dearly.

Hassan Dankwambo: A Sure Bet for Another PDP Presidency

By Chief Edwin Emeka Aboh

In less than six months time, active political gymnastics would start across the country in preparation for the 2019 General Elections.

I am talking about party primaries which is one way of pruning down the number of aspirants who have declared interest to run for various elective posts within some political parties.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) are the two main parties to look out for because the choice of who gets their tickets for elective positions later in the year especially their presidential candidates would go a long way in determining the strength of supports they would enjoy during next year's general elections.

From the unfolding political realities, it is most certain that President Muhammadu Buhari is going to pick the Presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), but that of the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is still in limbo because they have eminently qualified aspirants interested in the party's ticket and are waiting in the wing for electoral guidelines by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Some of the aspirants include; the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, the former Governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose and the performing Governor of Gombe State, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo. Others may throw their hats in to the presidential ring, but are still watching events with keen interest.

Of these aspirants, it is only Governor Hassan Dankwambo that can lead the PDP back to the Presidential Villa after the February 16 Presidential race.

Without being sycophantic, I want to say that all the political odds favours Dr. Dankwambo because he is the only aspirant that can give the PDP a relax mind from any arrest or trumped-up charge during the campaigns because he is still a serving governor with immunity from arrest and prosecution.

Outside the fact that he enjoys immunity from harassment and intimidation, his giant strides in Gombe State would also speak for him during nationwide campaigns.

Though Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is from the same Northeast region with Dr. Dankwambo; a region that have suffered disturbing political neglect since independence. In fact, since the late Prime Minister, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was assassinated, no person from the zone had being elected President of Nigeria either in democracy or in military. But with Governor Dankwambo coming from the zone, his age would serve as great advantage as he will only turn 56 years on April 4th this year.

Dr. Dankwambo being an erudite Economist himself knows how to revamp our national economy and give it a quick fix from the current recession slowing down every sector in the country.

Besides studying Economics at the Msc level, Dr. Dankwambo also has the needed practical skills and experience required to 'quick-fix' the economy as a former senior banker with the Central Bank of Nigeria between 1988 and 1999. His practical knowledge of the nation's accounting system as former Accountant-General of Gombe State as well as the Accountant-General of the Federation will put more money on government accounts which would be used for the country's development.

Dr. Dankwambo had been a loyal and committed party man who did not abandon the party during its turbulent times but silently worked for the reinvention of the PDP back to national reckoning.

Despite being a Governor of the Northeastern state of Gombe; a region ravaged by the activities of the dreaded Boko Haram, Dr. Dankwambo still used good governance and democracy dividends to wrestle the state from the violent activities of the sect.

When the Buhari Tsunami wrecked havoc in the entire northern region in 2015, both Sule Lamido and Ibrahim Shekarau fell victims and lost their states to the APC, but Dr. Dankwambo tactically resisted the the Buhari Tsunami by getting himself re-elected as PDP governor. This is a great feat achieved considering what transpired during the election.

Another factor that will work for Dr. Dankwambo is the fact that he a scandal-free aspirant compared to other contestants. For Instance, Sule Lamido has case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) while Ibrahim Shekarau has similar baggage because of Dasuki-Gate. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has some perception challenges because at the mention of his name, everyone already knows the reaction to get from the people, but Dr. Dankwambo is a clean aspirant without any issue with any of the anti-graft agencies in the country.

Also, his easy-going stature is an added advantage which he will turn in to great asset for the PDP during polls.

Though Governor Ayo Fayose has declared his intention to run for election under the PDP, but he is technically out of the race already because the PDP has zoned it presidential ticket to the north thereby making Fayose's aspiration a dead one.

Former Governor Sule Lamido will be turning 70 this August and would not have the strength and the agility required to embark on vigorous campaigns for the party. Apart from EFCC case, his age will not make him a darling of the youths who wants to change the fortunes of their country. Some of them are already complaining that he does not pick calls neither does he responds to text messages nor grant favour.

Another factor working against him is the fact that he is from the Northwest region; a zone that have produced many civilian and military presidents for the country.

Similar thing can be said of Ibrahim Shekarau who is also from the Northwest region, a geo-political zone that produced the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari of the ruling APC.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has the required war-chest, Nigerians already have fixed mindset about him. Though he has being trying to endear himself to the youths, but his candidacy may chase the youths away because they are fed-up with septuagenarians.

Therefore, judging by all standards, Dr. Dankwambo is the credible and stainless alternative left for the PDP ahead of the February 16 Presidential race.

If Dr. Dankwambo could achieve that feat of stopping Buhari tsunami in Gombe State for PDP when President Buhari was seen as a messiah in the north, he will surpass it now that Buhari has become Baba-Go-Slow.

Therefore, Dr. Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo is a sure bet for another PDP Presidency come 2019.

People with good profile are beginning to come up and this is quite good for us. Buhari's performance is not impressive. I am so disappointed in him but i think the mistake we made is to think that because of his anti corruption stand he will do well in office. How wrong we were.

Buhari lacks leadership skill but he is not a bad man per say.
We need to look for a better candidate that will replace him. Those talking about Atiku should give us a break pls. We are not in a hurry to conclude our choice yet.
