Firefire: [size=18pt]I’ll make Naira equal in value to dollar, says Buhari [/size]
Owerri – The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday said he would ensure that the Naira was equal to the dollar in value, if voted into office. Buhari stated this during the South-East presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyima Stadium, Owerri. “It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not speak well for the nation’s economy,’’ he said. He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that he would ensure that corruption was tackled headlong if elected. Earlier, Gov Rochas Okorocha had urged APC supporters to vote for the party’s candidates at all levels, noting that a vote for Buhari without support to others at the state would amount to nothing. Okorocha said Buhari would address the problem of electricity, bring back the kidnapped Chibok girls and promote industrial growth. He said that Buhari was loved by the people in the region and urged them to elect him and other APC candidates during the March 28 and April 11 general elections. Former governor of Anambra, Mr Chinwoke Mbadinuju and former Minister of Education, Chinwe Obaji, were formally welcomed to the APC at the rally. The rally was attended by APC supporters from Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Imo. (NAN) -

This is stale news ok. I saw this picture after last elections and whereas the picture is heavily photoshopped. After zooming the Id card, i found out that the PDP logo on it looks altered and it doesn't sit well on the ID card.
It's painful shaa. Especially if PDP lost massively in that ward. It's a lot better to remove it. Let them feel the harsh weather joo and relocate it to a place where PDP got votes. My tots shaa.
pazienza: Imagine, Isoko person telling Ndiigbo not to drag Niger delta into things. How many LGA does Isoko have in Delta state, just two! Does Isoko have more stake than Ndiigbo in Delta state, let alone the rest of Niger delta?
You better just park one side, don't let me treat your f.uck. up.
Don't respond to that guy like that. They are Yoruba's posters claiming to be from delta and rivers state. I ve known their tricks. They want to knock our heads. So that igbo's and Niger deltans will start abusing each other here. No sane delta guy will make that comment knowing the Yoruba's see them as minorities also. Just ignore that deceptive Yoruba fool
koladebrainiac: so if you go to South Africa as business man,and you pay taxes,because you pay your taxes,you will now start claiming Lord over the indigenes? Or because igbos are many in ghana who do good business and pay their taxes now means they can claim lordship over political environment in the land?
See,we value Igbos input in Lagos,their business sense and success are highly recognized! Samething for hausas who in sabo market scattered all over lagos. But it doesn't mean igbo should now start to getting agitated on our political issues- that naturally will trigger hate or resentment among the Yoruba- as far as west is concern,yorubas are the real owner of the land- we have obas,baale,land owners who are yoruba and they are not igbo. Igbo should recognize and respect yoruba here . That's what we are saying- saying no man land or igbo will be governor of lagos or igbo will decides the political environment of lagos can bring resentment from yoruba- Yoruba are politically wise-we know what we want when it comes to politics. We are very calculative and objective when it comes with voting- Igbo can not bring in their sentimental voting here it and spoil our vision for good governance- go to Ekiti-they know what they want-they want Fayose,even me as a yoruba does not understand why they are still clinching to Fayose- and I respect them for that. So please-nobody says you should not do your business in lagos.we all need each other that's what we call it unity-
PS- you claiming niger delta owns the oil,and feed nigeria? Yes I agreed,but what are the Niger deltans have be eating before oil boom? Who has been feeding them since?whose money used in building their pre-oil boom government institutions? Please enough pf it. We all need each other it as simple as that. Yoruba will never claim land ownership on niger delta or seeking for political relevant in their land. So dig it
I am so disappointed with u. So u are comparing my homeland Nigeria with a foreign country south Africa.
Listen to me you yoruba's, I am a Nigerian and Lagos which I reside is in Nigeria and not South Africa. I have every freedom to live, associate and vote for whom I choose. It is my constitutional right which I will not sell out to you. Where as, I am not intimidated by your hate. I value every of it because in my it shows u are afraid and jealous that we are waxing stronger every time. In this land, things are not even rosy. I work very hand for my money. I pay my tax as a Nigerian. Before I got to where I am today, I suffered in the hands of all yoruba's I met with the exception of a very few yoruba's that believed in me. But still, I made it not because the hatred the yoruba's have for me as an Igbo man but because the Yoruba's are not my God and they have no hand in my destiny. God bless my Yoruba friends Ladi, Olu, idowu, Mike and kunle who encouraged me so much and won't be forgotten by me. You guys are so different from the vampires I've seen in Nairaland always looking for the blood of an Igbo man to drink. For the rest of u hating on me, be prepared to watch me wax stronger. Your hate drives and inspires me. If you keep calling me an immigrant in my country, do us a favor. We still want biafra. Pls help us campaign for it so we will leave ur land peacefully.
Bode3: If him no apologise,come comot am from throne. jobless things!! your people back home are about to face the most difficult four years ever in Lagos and Nigeria at large. Bunch of f***s liked ur stupid comment
olaniyanc: Bastard. Uncultured guys. You don't talk to an elder like that. Yoruba people always respect elders. It does not matter who you are.When you are in Rome you behave.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Above all, Yoruba's are very tribalistic people. I bet you, all these bastards defending the stupid oba will not do it should it be the the Oba is Igbo and the statement was made against them. I hate this country.
So na now CBN's eyes dey clear? They ought to have published it a long time ago but they didn't. After so many banks collapsed and were taken over, and after many hundreds of thousand Nigerian financial sector workers lost their jobs, CBN now want to act.
Kabiyesi has spoken. He is d owner of lagos dnt u pple understand? Although I don't wish flatees dead but let dem leave lagos. We prefer ab*okis to them.
I dare question him if he truly made those comments. The Oba has no right to tell me who I should vote for. I and my fellow Igbo brothers will not be intimidated by ur foolish Kabiyesi's threats. A lousy comment from a lousy traditional head.
Alphaoscar: Is that the reason why you said your parents are dumb?
Is there anywhere I said the king said or did not said what the The Sun newspaper wrote about him? You urgently need to have your brain cheched pls.
I already modified my comments even before I saw ur response. But Pls leave my parents out of it. You are free to abuse me as u like. But don't bring my parents into it or u will force me to abuse those dead parents of urs that should be resting in their Graves.
Alphaoscar: Seriously the Igbos should not allow themselves to be used as a political tool in the hand of the politicians.
Will Agbaje abandon his Yoruba heritage or even the Oba of Lagos in solidarity with his Igbo supporters should in case he defeat Ambode? I can't see that happening because instead he will rather settle his differences with the monarch while the Igbo populations will be left to lick their wounds.
The Igbos should play their politics with decorium with been seen as antagonizing their host communities or putting themselves in an unfriendly position with the other inhabitants of
Let the drummers of war becareful.
Sir? I believe it a 100 percent that the Oba did say that. My reasons are as follows:
As an Oba of Lagos, is he not supposed to be neutral? Even if he's supporting Ambode which I believe is not bad, is he supposed to campaign for him publicly? Is he not supposed to give his blessings to both jimi and ambode cos they are his sons?
Wadraj: That call is getting too overrated! It would have been heroic if there was no peace accord whatsoever
Btwn Was that the first time such thing would happen in Africa Just being curious!
U talk foul a lot just to discredit a good deed. With or without Peace accord, GEJ would have called GMB. Or haven't u seen people back out of agreements in the past? What makes it very symbolic is that GMB will never call GEJ to congratulate him if he had lost this election (with or without peace accord)
Jwonder: APC and Buhari should remember all their promises! We don't want excuse ooh!!!!!
1: Stabilize world Oil Prize
2: Make 1$ equal One Naira
3: Eradicate Corruption
4: Eradicate Boko Haram
We don't want to hear story after four years oh! Cause Jonathan was only given 4years too so better start looking for how to fulfill all your promises
That's true shaa. Since he said he will do all those, let me give him the benefit of doubt. I don't expect him to achieve all the 4 points agenda. If he can achieve just 2 in the next 4 years, then I will vote him for 2nd term.
fratermathy: [size=15pt] The result of the election is quite obvious. It is good for the ruling party. President Jonathan is an opportunist, too desperate and too ambitious. He ought to have voluntarily leave the office after his first tenure. He failed to acknowledge his weakness in terms of statescraft hence his political defeat. He should not attempt to plunge Nigeria into chaos and catastrophe. He should congratulate Gen. Buhari. - Professor Abraham Orhero from DELSU, Abraka, Delta State.[/size]
He already congratulated Buhari even before Prof Abraham tot of making this comment. He's a gentlemen. Hes not like Buhari who refused to concede to defeat 4 years ago.
Keneking: Great...immediately he is pronounced winner, I plan to dedicate time to assist the new government chart a new path of recovery. This article clearly articulates some of my thoughts.
I am aware that the new government headed by Buhari would be expected to hit the ground running from the first day being May 29,2015 therefore I pledge to contribute as much as is required to make him succeed.
Ordinarily we expect him to do the following:-
1. Announce his intention to form a national government 2. Develop a shadow government to work with outgoing government - similar to Fayose's model in Ekiti 3. Develop a marshal plan on critical sectors 4. Develop a multi-pronged foreign relations similar to India BJP model. 5. Relocate operating centre of his government back to Lagos
Gbengais: You are a big fool .. Oya go and stop them from postponing it na .. I read your comments on here .. Fools like you hide under GEJ displaying stupidity .. Ehn now that they've postponed elections in those areas go and conduct it na .. Ode citizen
SirBrightoc: And anyone that will vote for Buhari, may God 1. rule their lives the same way Buhari ruled Nigeria between 1983 and 1985. 2. support/encourage evil and destroyers in their lives the way Buhari has supported/encouraged Boko Haram. 3. raise false accusers everywhere in their lives the way they raised against GEJ 4. make people never to appreciate their good efforts, but magnify their mistakes. SAY AMEN
Alkidam: Everybody knows their are people fighting the cause for jonathan in this battle, it might not neccessarily be the clueless one doing the dirty jobs but the corrupt element, mischievous soul who sees boda jona's continuity in government as their own personal wealth, because they know they would be able to loot more. In another news, when will FFK stop his rants? Maybe when he sees himself in the blackmaria conveying him and the other basketmouth(fayose, okupe, abati) to kirikiri. Nevertheless I HAVE DECIDED AND NO GOING BACK. Sai Baba
Baseless post without basic facts. Very clueless write up.
