berem: Did you hear yourself speak? The bold comment is utterly silly! So if Rochas has no moral justification to speak about the bad roads in Imo,who then should speak on behalf of imo people who use the roads the most?

Basically, the doofus is saying he'd rather suffer and smile and pretend everything is alright.

Ibos are divided into two: Those that grew up in Ibo land, and those that grew up outside Ibo land.

Those that grew up outside Ibo land usually take on the characteristics of their hosts, which usually include: humility.

Those that grew up in Ibo land are usually brash and more abrasive, showing no empathy towards the feelings of others. This leads others to look at them with suspicion and distrust.

Nope. Same corrupt class.

APC needs to field Buhari and a credible South Western candidate.

iluvpomo: He's an American citizen I'm sure. His only connection with 9ja is his ethnicity.

He's actually full Nigerian and has only been in the U.S for 7yrs.

CaliOsi: What a shame! If a government can lie over irrelevant issues, how can we trust them for the relevant ones?? I sincerely pray and hope the era of Jonathan ends in 2015...

GEJ has lied to the Nigerian public at least once a week since he became President.

DarasimiBee: Don't tell me GEJ hasn't seen or heard of these posters all these while. Now that he has been condemned by Washington Post bcuz of d childish and unreasonable pattern of campaign, he decided to say he knew nofin about it. GEJ, Doyin Okupe, Reuben Abati, etc causing embarrassment for the nation.

GEJ is still refusing to see that THE REST OF THE WORLD Wants him gone! The only people on earth that want GEJ to stay are political sycophants and bigoted delirious supporters mostly located in the South Eastern Part of Nigeria. The Western Nations want nothing to do with this incompetent crook.

datguru: there by making them violent

Marijuana does not make you violent. Plus, nobody ever died of an overdose of it. It has it bad aspects too, e.g loss of brain cells that could in the long term lead memory loss etc But, Overall, it should be decriminalized.

rozayx5: the difference here is Buhari had already ruled

so am sorry he is a a sore loser,

no history is repeating itself in his case

You're obviously illiterate because if you read the time lines of the others you'll see at least one occasion where the person was also ex-President.

atlwireles: Onyeabo Azubuike Ihejirika was born on February 13, 1956 in Ovim, Isuikwuato Local Government Area, Abia State. He commissioned into the army on December 17, 1977 as a member of the Nigerian Defence Academy 18th regular combatant course. Prior to being appointed COAS, he was the Chief of Defence Logistics at Defence Headquarters. He was also the former GOC of 81 Division at Lagos, and a former Director of Engineering at Defence Headquarters.

Major-General Ihejirika was born on February 13, 1956 and was commissioned in the army on December 17, 1977. A fellow of Nigeria Institute of Quantity Surveyors, he was the Chief of Defence Logistic, Defence Headquarters before he assumed his new position as Chief of Army Staff September 2010 - January 2014 .

You cannot fire a man after serving more than 35 years allowed by law in the army. The General was due for retirement in 2012.

He was fired. No matter how you slice and dice it, he was kicked out before retirement.

ratiken: Quite gibberish bro.

If anything, this GEJ govt have set the power sector on the path of self restoration through privatization. Yet you guys let go of the Buharis and the Objs who had the uninterrupted opportunity to give us constant power but utterly failed

You...... yes I mean you are the problem of Nigeria

Buhari "utterly failed" after being in charge for less than 2yrs?!

How much are they paying you to be an i*diot online?

chimoz: Op just took the pictures of the bad side, he should have shown us the pictures of the good side too. There is possibility that that facility may be out of use or it may even an old picture. Whatever it is, op is not telling us the whole story.

Do you do drugs whenever you're bored?

edozie04: Very soon apc nd pdp supporters will start the blaming game

Nigerians are filthy as hell. But the South East takes the cake.

JEITO: I have watched over the years, how Northerners in particular, have revered Buhari over the years: supporting him massively during elections.

I have also watched how smaller politicians, try to use Buhari's influence, to boost their acceptability, by declaring that Buhari is their leader. Some even go to the extent of printing Buhari's photo on their campaign posters.

Now, I know the north is interested in the Presidency of the nation; but I wonder why all the spotlight is on Buhari, while Atiku gets little or no mention at all.

Politically, he has been there. He was one of the founding members of the PDP, won the Governorship elections in Adamawa in 1999, later became vice President.
He sure is experienced.

But it beats my imagination, why he has always been along way behind Buhari in the North

Is it just preference born out of a better leadership ability, or could there be more to why Northerners and the opposition in general, sing Buhari's praise every now and then, while Atiku is on the touchline like a cheap substitute

Go read about Congressman William Jefferson and Atiku, then you can answer the question yourself.

He's currently serving a 13 year sentence...just to give you a heads up. we jail our criminals here, no matter how high up in Government they maybe, if they participate in corruption that'll eventually affect the welfare of the American people down the line.

We don't encourage our politicians to be thieves and the stiffest punishment is reserved for thieves in Govt. We don't baby our politicians. We are not uncivilized.

mikeansy: boko haram will know before he gets there!

The Ukranian President can visit without the rebels knowing

our President does not have that luxury because too many fifth columnists in his government!

The same ones he's travelling The world with?

duni04: On the contrary whoever chops this rebuttal from ihejirika is dumb because the proper thing for him do to is sue Mr davies for defamation. If he doesn't sue him Mr davies, it means the allegatioms are probably correct. He's busy brandishing USA and UK when people in his shoes in these countries would have dragged Mr davies to court immediately for maligning and defaming them in public. If he doesn't sue and clear his name, he is guilty. Simple!

Lets not forget that in less than 1 week Ihejirika has given 3 different explanations.

'Nuff said.

Neaman: I thought Buhari said BOKO haram attacked his convoy some weeks ago, and would have been killed save for his smartness. LurBish poritix.

Did you read the article to realize that not only is it a few years old and contains some sensible suggestions,or did hate just overtake your heart like most of the commentators on here?

Omexonomy: A write up from the stable of the media janjawee.ds indirectly campaining for the "dogs and baboon" will be soak in the blood"

Do you have a life outside this or is this how u make a living?

MrMcJay: Coming from Tribune and the two clowns who posted before me, the "source" might just be an ugly teenager with a Tecno phone and MTN 10MB free data. Everyone in the Presidency knows that even if APC presents a puppy to contest against Jonathan, he would be beaten.

2015, and the big-nosed drunkard in Aso Rock would be beaten like a drum.

I can authoritatively tell you that if GEJ is Nigeria's President on Feb,15th, 2015, Western Nations won't wanna touch Nigeria with a billion foot pole.

99100: When the western world despise an African leader ,it means he is doing well.

Yes, GEJ is doing absolutely well.

DickDastardly: Thanks for that jejune assertion, but you barely made sense. More reason why you must be stuck with jonathan till 2019.

Me?! Roflmao you're the one that's stuck with the hopelessness your fathers are used to in that country. Mine has been functioning properly for over 300+ yrs.

DickDastardly: Bokoharam was a product of neglect of northern youths by Gowon, murtala, shagari, buhari, ibb, abacha, abdulsalami.

See all those people you mentioned up there? They would've never come along if Ibos did not carry out the Jan'1966 coup that effectively destroyed Nigeria and put it in the state it is in today.

DickDastardly: No innocent man ever gets acquitted when tried in the court of his enemies. Jonathan can never be blameless in the eyes of those who seek to return power where it rightfully "belong"(north). Its about born to rule and not jonathan.
The 38yrs must be balanced before power tilts if really we are going to remain one Nigeria.

So the Western world that despises him is made up of Northerners too?

Orunto: It's a game Prof. The Northern Caliphate played the music. Ihejirika and Steve Davis danced right in front of bokoharam.

Every time I hear someone call themselves Professors or PhD holders from a Nigerian University, I cringe ;Gej quickly comes to mind,now this "Professor".

I have worked with Nigerian Govt's since the 70's up until a few years ago and I can tell you for a fact that Mr.Davies is absolutely right. He just hasn't released enough material to crush Nigeria and have the North and West storming into Aso Rock and dragging that terrorist President out of it.

No one is saying Ihejirika picked up guns and ammo and joined BH in disguise to fight against his country, but it is obvious that he used his influence to fuel and escalate/foment the BH crisis. Ask yourself, what happened to all the weapons seized at the borders when he was in charge? Where are the suspects? What happened to the cases.

For whatever reason(profit, trying to break up the country etc), ihejirika was sponsoring a faction of the insurgency by (probably) feeding them info, arms etc and/or he was making a killing (no pun intended) off the Defense budget by sabotaging the war for his own personal gains.

For those claiming he is innocent, how about Henry Okah? The fact is GEJ knows more than he is telling and he can't spill anything because his fingers are also stained. Nigeria will not, and cannot, survive another 18months with GEJ in charge. The country will become another Somalia 2yrs from now if he rules for another 1 1/2 year.

The moment I saw that incompetent corrupt witch's name as the exonerator...

Next story, please.

sol2galay: How about Rochas or Donald Duke?

They can't win. They're not strong enough to rule Nigeria.

iluvnaija: You expect the negotiator to ask boko like "who dey sponsor una?"
Guy you need some brains to know what is going on!

Roflmao this really got me!

A lot of these kids don't understand their country.

drauj: does that say it has ceased to be the responsibility of the person who has sworn an oath to protect the lives and properties of the Citizens.
Does it make sense to u that something as terrible as this is happening in Nigeria and Jonathan and his cohorts are claiming ignorance on the cause and remedy to the situation? It boils down to these:
1. Either Jonathan deliberately allows it to continue
2. He is incompetent to carry out his responsibilities as evident in other spheres of the country.

lyntiffany: Guy you fit help am out he is your fellow country man, if you see him as not competent and you are you can simply help him.

What about if he's "deliberately allowing it to continue", or how did you manage to miss the first part? The problem I have with people like you is your willful blindness ti the truth. It's a shame, really.

enigmaotr: In action and deeds, he has declared already. This's no news!

He declared from the 2nd week he became President.

noblezone: He aslo gave them $21B to facilitate the total islamisation of Nigeria!

You think $21billion is just 5 bills, huh?

deeobserver209: Nigeria should be withdrawn from IOC with immediate effect. It beats my imagination how Nigeria became a member of this religious group.
Membership to IOC contradict the Nigerian Constitution which states that Nigeria as a secular state has no business getting involved in religious activities or becoming a member of such religious organizations. (Emphasis mine)

Thats what bothers you the most? Not that your President and defense chief are terror sponsors that almost created world havoc between Christians and Muslims?

berem: I saw the denial by the federal government coming. It was expected and it happened.


PDP is Boko Haram and Boko Haram is PDP

They denied Henry Okah too (even though on South African court records,Mr.Orubebe called him a "friend and brother" they "were still willing to work with", so this should come as no surprise. Terrorist govt thirsty for power.

Why is anybody shocked? Have yall forgotten so soon how GEJ caused trouble in Rivers State through his wife that even almost led to the death of Gov.Amaechi? Nigeria needs to kick GEJ out of power and into prison, him and his crew have done enough damage.
