The statement "Yar'Adua must die" is not a wish. . . the OP is just stating that Yara must die (in public domain) for Naija to move forward. . . infact, we should all know that Yara is already dead, or at best in an Ariel-Sharon state of consciousness.

Yara was a decent guy. . . possibly had the potential to be a decent president (in comparison). . . but lack of health hampered his regime.

brownbonno:
Dokubo is just one of the illitrate naija men that want to be recognised by all means.He need to go back to school,cool his brain down to understand some basic concepts.

Imagine these sons of illiterates calling Asari an illiterate. . . . Asari is the son of a High Court judge here in PH and has attended University. . . dem no born you well.

Well said by Asari. . . . by the way, this is not news. . . Asari has been saying this for a long time.

Me sef, I no be Naija man. . . and I dont have Nigerian passport to prove it. . . I would happily accept Ijaw passport sha.

No To ‘illegal’ Exercise Of Presidential Power
By Good Governance group


No to Military Intervention; No to ‘Illegal’ Exercise of Presidential Power

The Good Governance Group (3G) feels compelled to sound a note of warning on the gathering threat to democracy and stability in Nigeria. We are worried that the political class, especially those in the Executive and the National Assembly and the ruling PDP, have failed to rise up to the most basic statesmanship required to steer the country away from constitutional crisis. They are gradually nudging the country towards breakdown of security.

As a group committed to good governance and democratic accountability we are worried at the worsening security situation in the country on account of the determination of a few persons, the so-called kitchen cabinet, to neglect the constitutionally established line of succession and hold political power, contrary to Section 1 of the Constitution. The manner in which they brought President Yaradua in the country without proper clearance with the Acting President, who, as at today, is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces; and the various reported acts of intimidation against him in the Villa, pose serious threat to stability and national unity. These acts of dare-devilry and recklessness are open affront to the sovereignty of the Nigerian people and the integrity of the Nigerian state. This is unacceptable.

Our fears of possible breach of security in the Nigeria are raised by reported movement of troops from Kaduna to Abuja. Even the statement credited to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Dambassa Btsau that he answers only to the Commander-In-Chief who is President Yaradua if true show a dangerous disregard for the Constitution. We want to warn members of the Kitchen Cabinet and their military and political loyalists that the Good Governance Groups, working together with other civil society and pro-democracy groups, will mobilize Nigerians to stop any form of military intervention in the politics of Nigeria. Nigerian people will not accept any military solution to a crisis contrived by those who do not want to lose power because they are afraid of being made to account for their misdeeds. We will continue to mobilize Nigerians to insist on respect for the constitution, especially Section 1 of the Constitution.

This crisis is needless. The Constitution has provided clear guidance on presidential succession. When the President cannot act the Vice President takes over. Those resisting the Acting President from exercising the powers of a Commander-in-Chief are instigating breakdown of security. Those who are impeding the effective exercise of executive power by the Acting President are violating the constitution and will be made to answer to their treasonable acts. On his part, the Acting President Goodluck Jonathan will be held responsible if his failure to exercise leadership as Commander-in-Chief plunges Nigeria into military coup.

For the avoidance of doubt, let us state clearly that Nigerians will never accept any military intervention on this crisis. Nigerians will no longer accept the attempt by persons not designated by the Constitution to exercise executive illegally in the guise of the sick and indisposed President Yaradua. We will defend our constitution because only persons elected by the people will exercise political power not the wife or political associates of an indisposed President.

On this we Stand: no to military coup.

Salihu Lukman

By "we", the poster may be referring to his army and not himself.

I wouldnt really rule this out because the presence of military men in Abuja is disturbing.

Lets give the poster 7 days and see if this is true.

Anderson 360 is gay?

Phuck that dude. . . Im never watching his show again!

@ Mailmalc. . . . thats the most Hip-Hop verse so far. . . .you respected all the rules and still made sense with it. . . . kudos!



Anyway, I call this one Naija State of Mind. . . .



As the homies say/ Maga no need pay . . .
. . but what if that’s the only way/ to pass a lonely day?/
We just tryna get fatter than Pastor OBJ/
So by hook or crook, we’re stacking dough each way!/
Our occupation/ is to rob the nation/
We keep cash under the bed. . . nigga, phuck inflation!!/


Cos here, we laugh at losers/ and clap for looters/
We hustle for Dead Presidents. . . not Yar’Aduas!/
Bandits loot us/ Robbers tax and shoot us/
So we carry gats and lugers. . . to blast intruders!/
We hack computers/ plus we’re mass polluters/
Traffic jams give you Asthma. . . while LASTMA . . . harass commuters!/


Its practical/ to travel to/ Abuja on sabbatical/
And chill in mansions built. . .  with stolen federal capital!/
Up North, niggas is radical/ and violence is sporadical/
cos Christians and Muslims are just incompatible!/
We got soldiers patrolling in tanks/ and controlling the land/
But still, niggas like Boko Haram/ ain’t folding their hand!/


Pay heed to the wisdom/ that corruption eats deep in the system/
The hopeless find peace in religion/ and a reason for living/
But our Pastors are lyrical/ They’ve mastered the syllables/
To collect 10%. . . when you ask for a miracle!/
They prophesy like prophets/ then monopolise the profits/
What I prothletise. . . is that they should be sodomised with objects!/     (It’s logic!)


Chop I chop!. . . but they chop more than their belly takes/
till dem inflate/ come dey resemble heavyweight/
Lecturers are never paid/ so they always demonstrate/
Then we wonder why we’re unable to educate/
How long will this perpetuate?/ I think it’s time to set it straight/
Naija gasto elevate/ to a level we can celebrate!/

Argentina has no right to that land.

That land was uninhabited so Argentina can never claim it.

Before Britain give the Falklands to Argentina, Argentina should give Argentina back to the Indians and phock off back to Spain.

Old boy, read this:

debosky:
Which soldiers at his gate? I don't believe all that - he still held a meeting with the ministers. . . .did the soldiers stop that?

If the President is stopped from holding FEC meeting due to soldiers securing the Presidential seat in the assembly hall, what definition would you give to that?

Open your eye o. . . as 4 me, I go call am coup.

debosky:
All sorts of pressure is being brought to bear on Jonathan, BUT I don't think it's a military coup. It's all about whom the forces and the ministers are loyal to. Clearly not many are loyal to Jonathan yet, hence Turai's ability to come in and turn things around so rapidly in her favour.

If Jonathan is a man let him sack ministers and make it public and then we'll see what Turai and co can do. Staying quiet and being a coward is not what we need right now - we need someone with the courage to take charge in the face of this nonsense by Yardie's supporters.

Can he do all these with soldiers at his gate?

If its not a military coup, what are fresh soldiers doing on the scene?

At the moment, I can tell you that nothing Jonathan is saying or doing is of his own will.

If not for military strength, what gives Turai the leverage to overrule the House of Reps?

Dont worry, you will find out more tomorrow.

No doubt, this is a military-backed coup.

debosky:
Jonathan must either TURN those people his way or replace them swiftly to increase his power base.

According to the House of Reps, Jonathan is still Acting President and can replace these ministers. . .hence I see no reason why he has not moved the FEC to declare Yara incapacitated. . . . yet he cannot meet the FEC cos soldiers have taken over the building. . . .  according to Segun Adeniyi, he is back to being Vice-President. . . if he sacks them ministers or moves such a motion, do you think the soldiers in his residence would let him go free?

As we speak 2 battallions of the Army have been deployed to Abuja to help Turai in her coup.

Do you agree that military pressure is being brought to bear on Jonathan right now or not?

debosky:
Is it the same Hilario that was one of the reasons Chelski lost the title in 06/07?

Hilario is not the same player of 06/07. . . he's improved beyond recognition. . . except for his kicking.

mikeansy:
Its a marathon and not a sprint

Turai Yar'adua will eventually come short.

She has opened a pandoras box she will not be able to close. . . she would not be able to do all these without the military taking control of Aso Rock and the Presidents seat at the FEC. . . thats why I believe whats going on right now is a military coup. . . if na lie, has anyone seen Jonathan today?. . . is he not surrounded by these same soldiers?

nateevs:
That's because you don't know Alex . .
Alex is a dull defender . . His positional sense is pretty non existent. .
He can't organize and he more often than not loses his marker because he lacks awareness. .

You were the one that made me love Alex. . . why the sudden change of position?

The other day, I noticed you say that Alex is slow. . . thats what I used to think, but last season, you showed me he's got great acceleration once he gets going.

Alex is fast. . . he's just slow on the turn. . . but Sol Campbell has always been the same.



I think you lots are just hating on Alex sha. . . . if you look at Alex's physique, he is someone who needs to be playing regularly otherwise he will look sluggish. . . thats cos his body is heavy cargo. . .

Why? Because Uba is rigger-in-chief?

How I wish Soludo had won that stuff.

I can see PDP only giving the mandate to thugs from now on.

Sky Blue:
Unless you are joking and being sarcastic, I implore you; please stop embarassing yourself.

The president is not just any citizen, he is the number one citizen. Turai was not on the PDP ballot, Yar Adua and Johnathan were. "First Family", is not empowered to wade into executive affairs by the constitution because Yar Adua, and not his family appeared on the ballot. This is not running Mile one market, this is running the country; hence not a case of waiting for 'Mama Yar Adua' to come and tell the country what has husband says. Please stop spreading such outright misinformation unless you can back it up.

Ottawa is a neanderthal. . . why waste your words?

@ FBS and Nateevs,

Can you bet your mortgage that a typical Uncle Carlotti team wont concede at SB in the 2nd leg?

nateevs:
@Ibime . .

Can you imagine people calling Lucio world class. . . ?
Absolute bollocks. . .

Rasputtin must be smoking crack!  

nateevs:
Secondly Ballack can only be seen covering but if he doesn't venture forwards and create, that's one man less in midfield.
When Lamps doesn't get a good game, everything grinds to a halt. .

When you have fullbacks attacking all the time, you need an extra midfielder to sit and cover. . . no problem with that. . . Ballack covered Ivanovic all night.

If our midfield is poor, what will you say about Inters midfield. . . . especially as we dominated possession almost exclusively?

nateevs:
I am just worried about our midfield. . .
Lampard and Ballack are clearly ageing and are becoming less productive with every passing game.
The thing there is no option. If they don't play, there's no one.

The midfield is not dynamic. No movement, no pace, no great passes.

Im sorry, I disagree. . . Ballack was classy tonight. . . he had a lot of work to do covering central midfield and tracking Zanetti all night cos we had no right winger.

We dominated the central midfield despite Lamps being off colour. . . that was thanks to Mikel and Ballack mostly.

Stoke 3 - 1 Citeh

We're playing Stoke in the next round of FA Cup.

Adebayor sent off so he misses Chelsea game. . . although I think thats more of a blessing to Man Citeh cos they look more dangerous with Tevez as their lone frontman.

Lampard, Anelka and Drogba were fails tonight.

At least we can excuse Lampard. . . virus and all that.

Malouda and Mikel killed it.

Ballack and Kalou had good performances.

Sturridge was always gonna struggle physically against Maicon.

Stoke scores against Citeh.

Look at all these lots going overboard over Lucio and claiming hes better than Chelsea centre-backs.

@ Dayokanu, pls come and tell these lots why Bayern let Lucio go on a free with one year left on his contract.

To give him his due, he's improved his defensive game unde JM, but I need to see him playing like this into next year to go crazy over him.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaalooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

FBS:
That was a STONE WALL pen!

And they say we play boring footie. Can't believe 45 mins gone.

Not only is it a penalty, its a red card to Samuel. . . and game over!

nateevs:
Anelka is holding on to the ball for too long and that is distorting the shape of the attack.

This is not Anelkas problem. . . this is Ancelotti's problem. . . .

What did you notice about Inters goal?

We are not playing 4-3-3. . . Ancelotti needs to force Anelka to play wide.

At the moment, Ballack is playing both central midfield and right midfield.

We were overloaded on the right-side when Zanetti pushed forward, and we had no one to stop him. . . that was how Inter scored their goal.

Ancelotti HAS to force Anelka to pull wide.

Besides, Inters left wing is so open, Anelka would do the damage there, not in the centre which is already crowded.

Ancelotti needs to pull his finger out his backside!!!

Blacksta, lets have some perspective here. . . there is nothing "dud" about Jonathans actions. . . as we speak, Northern military men surround Aso Rock and the Presidential seat. . . Jonathan cannot even leave his residence. . . a military/civilian coup is taking place right now.

otawa:
Who is FEC Yaradua appointed all the FEC members. They report to him.

And what does incapable means? I see many people here just run away with emotions.

That is why Turai is controlling the situation.

My friend sharrap. . . you are the only one running away with emotions here. . . what constitutional right does Turai have to "control the situation". . . please face front and dont respond to my posts again. . . I dont chat to neanderthals.

Pharoh:
Jonathan can not do anything because up to this moment he does not have executive powers.

All that one na story. . . what constitutional powers does Turai have?

FEC needs to declare Yara incapable, lets move on abeg.

Our President has been kidnapped!!!

If Yara is still functioning, they should give us even some video footage of him.

Turai is opening a pandoras box she wont be able to close.

This is Fulani way of operation. They always run monarchical system. . . even in a democracy.

This is what we call a civilian coup.

The House of Reps have said they still recognise Jonathan as Acting President. Any attempt to usurp the House of Reps is undemocratic and can be considered a coup.

At this stage, the House should impeach Yara, and if Turai refuses to leave the seat of power, the army should step in, before this woman destabilises the country any further.

Azeez is no less that 26 years old. . . ask Allboyz who grew up on his street. . .

Looks like Malouda is starting at left-back.

Kalou is also starting.


Chelsea team:

Cech, Malouda, Terry, Carvalho, Ivanovic, Mikel, Ballack, Lampard, Anelka, Kalou, Drogba.


Looks like a 4-3-3 to me, although knowing Ancelotti. . . .
