@ Op, you are yet to experience what the article is written about. Wait, they are coming for u.
You will soon join berem n co as outcast.

Btw, thought provoking article. I believe they know but is like a case of just destroying Northern oligarchy and the Western hegemony. We have some Yorubas supporting GEJ but not as passionately as the Igbo.

The article is about supporting your choice without shooting yourself in the leg which requires political sagacity of your elites; I don't see anything bad in that. Anyway, I support GMB. Peace.
Exactly what the article us about.

If they like let them call me Efulefu or whatever, truth must be told, reality must be faced.

We will get there one day!

It means that its an infra dignitatem to post on that site because of different views of majority doesn't tally with hers

And you still call it oversight

How can she generalize hastily on youths
Hmm

So this man wants me to vote against Jonathan whose family fought side by side with mine during the war and instead vote for the invader that participated in the massacre of Igbo women and children?

This writer should have his brain examined and his DNA as well.
Okay Alfa, your choice is based on the past events. Good enough.
At least you have a reason for your choice unlike some others.

Did you see the fallacy of hasty generalization she committed . She lumped all the youths in Igbo Facebook together. That was why I did a fallacy ad hominem on her also

She forgot that there are apolitical Igbo like Jehovah's witness member in that forum

Because she is APC lap dog that was why she took a swipe

I might not support APC but I know what defamatory statements are . Why should Igbo youths on Facebook be her pain


That was why I took it on her . Nor personal though but to correct an impression
Okay Sir.

But i think she meant "most youths" not all.

Generalisation of a group of people is one of the worst case of stereotyping in recent times.

Politics › A Word Of Advice To All "Igbo Internet Warriors". by kayjasper(op):
I am getting increasingly worried at the ability of a number of supposedly educated people to comprehend, let alone interpret, basic ideas communicated even in the most elementary of ways. The immediate context of this worry is the combative reactions of a couple of Internet warriors to a recent posting of mine entitled “Jonathan’s Igbo Internet Thugs Are A Disgrace To Humanity”.

Femi Fani-Kayode
The commentators claim that I took a swipe at “all Igbo people” for supporting Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s outgoing president. What could make any literate person arrive at this awful conclusion? The people I criticized are not in doubt because the article’s caption says it all: Igbo Internet thugs. The body of the article details those who constitute Internet thugs, namely, Igbo elements who collect hefty bribes from a self-professed Igbo hater, Femi Fani-Kayode, Jonathan’s director of media and publicity in the electioneering campaign; those who circulate the picture of a bridge under construction somewhere but claim it is the 2nd Niger Bridge with a view to deceiving the Igbo into believing that work has progressed impressively on the 2nd Niger Bridge; those who forge medical reports of a non-existent hospital claiming that Muhammadu Buhari has prostrate cancer; those who write and distribute the false and malicious report that Buhari collapsed at a campaign rally in Calabar and was rushed to hospital even when the same peddlers of this information were simultaneously  commenting on his personal activity in the ongoing electioneering campaign; etc.

Perhaps unknown to my so-called critics who are roundly lazy, they are suggesting that all Igbo people are Internet thugs working for Jonathan and, by extension,  involved in forgeries and disinformation and other forms of profoundly inelegant conduct. This is how low some chaps have got.

I know of decent Igbo people who support Jonathan for various reasons, including party loyalty and solidarity. By no means can any sensible person regard them as Internet thugs. They do not forge medical reports , nor do they circulate false pictures of development projects in their homeland with the intention of swindling their own people. Such decent people are at liberty to support any person who catches their fancy. And they are at liberty to express their choice in public, just the way I am free to make my views on the outgoing administration known to the public. . There is no way all Igbo people can be rooting for a particular candidate or political party. It is not possible. Therefore, I find it strange that some Internet warriors could have the temerity to hawk such ignorant opinion that I am opposed to the exercise of the freedom of speech and freedom of association by Igbo elements who are favourably disposed towards Jonathan.

The Internet warriors have attempted to rationalize their working in cahoots with Fani-Kayode as an example of the fact that there are no permanent enemies in politics but permanent interests. This sophistry is from elements who regularly shout from the rooftops that the Igbo are the Jews of Africa. When the Jews discovered that Kurt Waldheim, a former UN secretary general, was involved as a teenager in the Nazi movement in his native Austria, they came after him. Even as Austria’s elected president, Waldheim became practically a prisoner, stuck at home. Despite that he was opposed to the Nazis, Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict never had easy relations with the Jews. His offence? He served briefly in the Nazi military, though by conscription and never fired a shot. Frankly, if Jonathan had much respect for the Igbo he would not have made Fani-Kayode, an admirer of Hitler’s Mien Kempf,  the propaganda head of his election campaign.

It is truly amazing how some Igbo elements have become fanatical over Jonathan whose development record in Igboland is embarrassingly poor. On August 30, 2012, Jonathan announced at a town hall meeting in Onitsha, Anambra State, that he would go into exile if the 2nd Niger Bridge is not completed in 2015! As you are reading this article, the bridge remains mythical. Frankly, any person who promotes the likes of Arthur Eze and Abia State governor Theodore Orji as role models cannot but be an arch enemy of Ndigbo. Eze assumed the chairmanship of Premier Breweries, the third largest brewery in the country, and destroyed it completely. He assumed the chairmanship of Orient Bank and naturally ruined it, forcing Paul Ogwuma, then the Central Bank governor, to issue a directive banning him from ever being on the board of any bank. Eze was awarded the $110m African Development Bank contracts for rural electrification and rural water supply in old Anambra State and the building of an industrial development centre in Awka, but did virtually nothing. Following Abacha’s death he went into exile in the UK.

Jonathan recently rewarded him with a national honour! Jonathan also conferred a high national honour of the outgoing governor of Abia State, a man who made Aba, once the pride of the whole nation for its technological and manufacturing ingenuity, look like a city ruined by barbarians. This is the governor who about three years ago sacked all people of Igbo extraction who are not indigenes of Abia State from the state’s public service, yet there are thousands of Igbo public servants in places like Lagos State. It says a lot about the quality of the current Igbo political leadership that a character like Orji is now the chairman of the Conference of South East Governors, a position which should be occupied by a person who symbolises Igbo unity and strength.


Internet warriors who do scandalous things in the name of defending Jonathan because” he is Igbo” do not know the grave violence they are doing to the Igbo destiny. In the next few years when the campaign for “Igbo presidency” resumes, the rest of the country will certainly tell you that you have had your day  with Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, whom you have declared to the whole world as “our  own beloved son”! As the great Chinua Achebe has powerfully reminded us, very few things unite Nigerians, including the Ijaw, as much as the anti-Igbo sentiment. A number of our elements are not strategic in their thinking and utterances, so they end up shooting themselves in the foot. Besides, Jonathan’s performance is so mediocre  that it should never be considered a sign of how the “Igbo presidency” will be.


A Nigerian president of Igbo extraction will give Nigerians a powerful sense of dynamism and direction, as the Great Zik of Africa did from the 1940s to 1960s, as he led Nigeria in the struggle for independence and national unity; and in the process established Nigeria’s first indigenous university and first indigenous bank, among other legacy achievements. We campaigned vigorously for Alex Ekwueme to become the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party after he provided scintillating leadership at the Constitutional Conference in 19944/5 and in the bold struggle against Sani Abacha’s malevolence in the late 1990s as well as in the formation of the PDP in 1998 and its subsequent emergence as a national mass movement. What is more, Ekwueme’s personal accomplishments are stellar.

It will never cease to confound many that a number of Igbo elements have yet to reconcile themselves to reality. Jonathan’s Igbo Internet warriors pour invective on every person who does not share their emotions. You can hardly see people from Jonathan’s Bayelsa State or the Niger Delta Delta as emotional as these Igbo folks. For instance, in an open letter to his Urhobo people and the rest of the Niger Delta under the title “Shine Your Eyes Bros, Buhari is Coming” on December 21, 2014, Abraham Ogbodo, editor  of The Sunday Guardian, stated: “It is time for serious strategy and less of buffoonery. .. I can’t see any (joker) against the planned onslaught of the APC. …The days of the invincibility of the PDP are almost gone”.

Jonathan has reached the dead end. It is now time for serious strategizing among the Igbo political elite.

With a constant campaign of personal attacks and less of issue based discussions, I think the APC has been too gentlemanly in their campaign so far.


The PDP if taken to the boxing ring on issues of personal attacks will not survive the killer "Mike Tyson" blow that will befall it and its principal.

APC and in extension GMB has been more matured in their campaign and have refused so far to enter the mud with the PDP.


We however believe the final nail to PDP's coffin is still being reserved till the tail end of the campaign!!!
Politics › Opinions: Is It Not Time For APC To Play Dirty? by kayjasper(op): 2:31am On Jan 21, 2015
Yesterday the PDP’s Media and Publicity spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, questioned the health status of the APC’s presidential candidate, retired General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB). He said there were concerns that he had prostate cancer and, if true, Nigerians will like to pray for him. He argued and I, unfortunately, agreed with him that Nigerians are entitled to full disclosure on this issue. However, I disagree with his idea of the scope of full disclosure needed or the meaning of full disclosure. Given Femi Fani-Kayode’s position, it is clear to every Nigerian that he is doing the bidding of his master, President Goodluck Jonathan (GEJ).



Permit me to remind my readers that GEJ was the vice presidential candidate to the then overtly sick late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua who was flown to Germany for treatment after collapsing in public. I do not remember GEJ asking the late Yar Adua make to full disclosure to Nigerians. GEJ was an active and willing participant in that political fraud because it paved the way for him to take over the presidency.

Nigerians have been and continue to call for GEJ to release his Ph.D thesis as a way of settling concerns that he plagiarized as his reasoning and utterances fall well short of a properly educated first degree holder. Fani-Kayode, I guess, does not realize the benefit of full disclosure on this issue.

When Patience Jonathan flew to Germany for medical treatment last year at the expense of Nigerians and their resources and returned in a presidential plane, I guess Fani-Kayode was in one of his self-induced “stupors” and forgot to remind GEJ that Nigerians were entitled to full disclosure of his wife’s medical condition. Patience Jonathan of the “there is God O” infamy may not be an elected official but the nexus between her medical condition and full disclosure to Nigerians is that our resources paid her medical bills – he who pays the piper dictates the tune!

When Femi Fani-Kayode became OBJ’s spokesman and later the Minister of Aviation (a ministry that he fleeced for billions and is still on trial for), Nigerians who were familiar with Fani-Kayode’s history of psychiatric imbalance demanded full disclosure of his treatment history. As far as I know we are yet to get the full disclosure. Again, he may have been too “zoned out” to recall.

Given the fact that the nightmare and trauma that GEJ has become to this country is the inevitable concomitant of Yar Adua’s refusal to make full disclosure to Nigerians regarding his medical condition, Nigerians are right to be wary of a presidential candidate who looks well on his way to defeat an incumbent president for the first time in the history of this country – a fact that is the actual motivation for Fani-Kayode’s diatribe rather than any genuine concern for the rights of Nigerians to know. Having said that, I believe GMB, who has publicly declared his assets, will also be willing to release his medical records on the following conditions:

GEJ should publicly declare his assets and apologize for not giving “a damn before”;
GEJ provides full explanation as to why his wife was charged by the Ribadu-led EFCC for money laundering – forget Nuhu Ribadu’s self-serving denial. The court docket number is available and Ribadu only succeeding in making a fool of himself. The connection being that the money came from what GEJ stole from the Bayelsa state coffers;
GEJ makes a full disclosure of his medical records, including full disclosure of the treatment for his ogogoro induced liver schlerosis at a London-England clinic;
GEJ makes full disclosure of how much it cost Nigerians to treat his wife in Germany; and
GEJ discloses the full amount of estacode he earns per night on his foreign trips as a way of settling concerns that the speculated $100,000 per night estacode is the primary motivation of his frequent and unproductive foreign trips.



To digress a bit, I think the reason why GEJ, Fani-Kayode, and other members of his campaign team are still in this game is because the APC, for reasons best known to them, have chosen not to land the final flurry of Mike-Tyson like blows on a presidential candidate who is clearly on the ropes. GMB and APC need to borrow a leaf from Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. While trying to please the conservatives in his quest for the Republican nomination for the presidency John McCain made the regrettable revelation that he voted with/for the outgoing and unpopular George Bush 100% of the time. The Obama Campaign Team knew they had a game changer. Thereafter in the presidential election campaign, everywhere candidate Obama went he reminded American voters that McCain was the same as the outgoing Bush and a vote for him was a return to the Bush ways which they have rejected. John McCain could not extricate himself from the assault and he went on to lose that election.

I believe the above is precisely what GMB and his team need to do to GEJ. GMB needs to tie corruption on GEJ’s neck until he is politically suffocated and maybe directly accuse him of being personally corrupt because that is the fact. At every campaign stop GMB needs to remind Nigerian voters of the following:

GEJ’s brutal economic attack on Nigerians through the fuel subsidy removal and his blatant refusal, to date, to hold any of his friends who stole the trillions accountable;
GEJ’s stated position that he does not believe in investigating, prosecute and imprisoning those who are convicted for corruption because it is GEJ’s constitutional duty – he does not have a choice;
GEJ’s refusal to account for the missing $20 billion of oil proceeds;
Stella Oduah’s BMW scandal for which the PDP attempted to reward her with a senatorial seat;
GEJ’s allocation of N1 billion naira for his feeding while millions of Nigerians cannot get garri to “soak”; and
GEJ’s decision to allocate billions of Naira for the purchase of a new presidential jet in the 2015 budget at a time when the price of oil has declined by more than 50% and he is asking Nigerians to make sacrifice. GEJ and his friends enjoyed the bounty and they should be the ones making the sacrifice.

Mr. Fani-Kayode, notwithstanding the fact that every reasonable Nigerian within and outside the PDP is aware that the reason you are crying more than the bereaved is that GEJ has your balls in a nut crusher over your trial for the billions allegedly stolen from the Aviation Ministry, I hope you will find the above to be factual, assuming you are not in one of those self-induced “stupors”.

GEJ is a drowning man politically speaking. You can see it in his body language. You can see it in his uncontrolled outbursts, you can see it in the refusal of PDP governors and other elected officials to stick their net for him, the refusal of his oil subsidy theft billionaires friends to be seen with him. Even the refusal of a formerly straight forward Reuben Abati to engage in defending GEJ speaks volume.

My friend Fani-Kayode, since you have forgotten that those who live in glass house should not throw stones and have decided to get high with a mud-slinging rather than issues campaign, you are welcome to the mud fight. GMB maybe too decent for it but because your utterances have the capability of confusing unwary Nigerians voters, it has become the responsibility of every Nigerian who cares about this potentially great country to respond to your tales and set the facts straight. I am hoping to hear from you soon.

Politics › Jonathan's Back Up Plan If He Looses!!! by kayjasper(op): 9:48am On Jan 18, 2015
I was in conversation with a United Nation official yesterday and we were talking about the acquisition of warships by ethnic militant Tompolo, in a country were our brave soldiers are being starved off equipment. He told me point blank that in every major conflict he has assessed or being involved in as a UN official it all started with one fellow choosing to ARM an ETHNIC MILITIA as against the national army of the country, sometimes deliberately depleting the army before the violence starts.

I first got reports of Niger Delta militant Asari Dokubo buying military helicopters and hardware from diplomatic intelligence sources about 2 years ago. Shortly after that he was arrested in Benin Republic but released upon the intervention of our government. What I can see is very clear, JONATHAN is leading an effort to create an alternate military force in the Niger Delta to force the hands of the generality of NIGERIANS when the time comes. How else can one explain Tompolo a man once declared wanted for killing our soldiers now effectively taking over the duties of our navy?

Where is all the money coming from? Do you think the arms are being bought for boat parade or regatta? No they are to kill NIGERIANS.

JONATHAN has never been able to rise to fill the position of the NIGERIAN Presidency, he acts like an ethnic war lord and at the rate he is going he is going to push us into the path of Liberian and Sierra Leone, while silly people are busy cheering him on.

I have taken it upon myself to write a letter of complaint and warning to the United Nations Secretary General to pay attention to what JONATHAN and his cohorts are doing in Nigeria, seemingly pushing the country closer to a violent ethnic crisis.

This crisis would consume the entire African continent if not checked.

This morning I received this in my in box, and I couldn't help but shudder that we are dealing with really devious human beings who have mistakenly found themselves in power. Their attitude and body language says it all:

"I'm really amused that we are all screaming murder years after the deed was done? It's well over 3 years that I have been screaming the overall plans and strategies of the south-south vs the behemoth Nigeria, i.e, their eventual emancipation! For the sake of many who have not read or few who have taken these posts as scare mongering by Oyenuga Lanre Paul, I'll re summarise them here. To free their region of the shackles of endless exploitation and domination by the rest of Nigeria, the south-south decided as follow:

1). Cripple the Nigerian Army's capacities to engage in sustained warfare: thus the encouragement of BH and decimation of the army's hardware and personnel.

2). Ensure Nigeria is economically destitute and unable to spend on warfare: thus the unprecedented looting of the treasury, resulting in our current vulnerability. Okonjo Iweala is not 'coordinating' for nothing.

3). Is the military takeover of our coastal waters by the south-south, which is what the coastal waterways protection contract with Government Tompolo was designed to guarantee. Let no one be deceived, less than 0.5% of our military, (including naval and air force) personnel can swim in an 8 foot deep pool, not to mention a river or coastal waters. Thus, how do you engage these toughened militia in their coastal waters, when we couldn't tackle BH in plain view?

4th). Is the intense frustrations of the oil producing companies by the south southerners nouveau-riche to hand over the onshore production bases to them by forced sale or outright disruption of their operations. As we chat here, 70% of the onshore operations have been sold off by the major players like shell, Mobil, etc.

As well as the training of ex militants as pilots under amnesty Anyone doubting my claims of warning about these can browse through my timeline.

IF THE SOUTH-SOUTH PULLS OUT TODAY, WE ARE SITTING DUCKS! The South-East are tagging along with the south-south, for obvious reasons
Politics › OPINION- How Jonathan Killed His Good Luck !! by kayjasper(op): 4:58am On Jan 11, 2015
With a tension soaked atmosphere, the Nigeria general election hits a countdown of days as various political parties and contenders continue to rally round for the sympathy and votesof the electorates. 

Apart from the federating states with rainbow like contending parties, the presidential election which seems to have gained more international interest and attention is arguably between the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Initially, many pundits in spite of the on-going insurgency in the North East and unending daily bashing of whatever is left of President Goodluck Jonathan’s goodwill by the press and the opposition believes the President may pull this battle through and we were right in making such calls as at then. Looking at the factors that determine electoral victory, President Jonathan as at November, 2014 was still doing well in the race. His strongholds were still under his control.Public perception (though battered, still share some level of sympathy for him), the religion card, coupled with his frequent visits to Jerusalem and the apathy of voters' towards presidential election were elements, if sustained could have earned him victory.

Events in the past few weeks have however shown clearly that the people with such believe of President Jonathan's victory come February 14, 2015 may have overestimated the political exposure, determination and goodwill of the President. From available facts, President Jonathan seems to be suffering from cerebral leukemia- a blockage of the flow of reality to the brain, creating a delusional image of popularity and acceptability, hence decisions are irrationally taking without recourse to pragmatic events.

Undoubtedly President Jonathan hasn't been the best president in the history of the country with unending allegations and counter allegations of financial misappropriations, downtrodden economy and perpetual insecurity in the North East but the zenith of this is his unholy charade with a renowned poster boy of a military junta and another captain of corruption who have suddenly leveraged on the inepttrait of the president to take a sainthood form and rewrite their narratives. This window created by the president is unforgivable!



Away from the razzmatazz of social media, the defeat of President Jonathan at the poll in 2015 will be largely due to his own undoing. In all sincerely, a close examination of Jonathan disposition to the 2015 election shows a man who is tired of the pressures and demands associated with the presidential seat. Left to Mr. Jonathan, he would have thrown in the towel long ago and take a trip to the serene and calm village of Otuoke but for the notable cabals who benefit immensely from his incapacitation. For them, the demand for him to continue in office is overwhelming.

The All Progressive Congress on the other hand, having identified these elements took no time in unnecessaryglorification of illusional popularity and worked vigorously at ensuring a united team, creating a strategic campaign system where people-focused manifesto devour of unnecessary 'TAN-nated' dancers are passed directly to the electorates. Paint a message of anti-corruption ( though giving no convincing model to be adopted) against a generally perceived corrupt government. Build a mindset of change seeking electorates who would see the election as a form of revolution waiting to happen and position itself as the long awaited saviour. All these it got right!

President Jonathan's  campaign strategy is currently based around the following factors. Grassroot penetration, Religion, Southern support and achievements in office.

Grassroots politics has been identified as the strong pole of electoral victory as mostly those in the grassroot have limited access to the media hence their decisions are not based on press influence, they believe majorly the decisions of charismatic leaders they know and trust. Using this model in core consideration of the INEC election timetable which places National Assembly and presidential election on the same day one would have expected the president to ensure candidates of his party contesting for the National Assembly seats are people with massive grassroot presence, well respected and loved. The effect of this, is to have the president leverage on the popularity of these individuals at the poll, hence electorates are indirectly forced to vote for him without much ado. Unfortunately the list of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidates flying around shows clearly that the president may not be well informed. A case study is that of Ogun State where Senatorial tickets are dashed out to concubine of kinsmen and renowned international fugitive who have lost every bit of acceptability and whose name continue to be a stain to the already tainted garment of PDPleaves the mind dazed.

In a similar way he has presided over Nigeria, President Jonathan has further carried his indecisive mode to the PDP. With few weeks to the election, the party is still engulfed in unnecessary division largely due to the inability of the president to call the shot and take a concrete stand on issues surrounding the candidature of some of the aspirants. This the party may soon pay for dearly!

As a Christian, President Jonathan believed strongly that almost every Christian would overwhelming vote for him come February 14 and he was right about this. If there is one thing the PDP has done successfully, it is the painting of General Buhari has a bigot, however, this was before the emergence of Pastor Osinbajo as the APC vice-presidential candidate. Unlike Pastor Tunde Bakare who was General Buhari's running mate in 2011, Osinbajo comes from one of the most conscious and populated Church in the world, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and even though the General Overseer, Pastor Adeboye is yet to publicly endorse any candidate, members of the church are aware of the strategic plans some of the most influential pastors in the church (who are known to be the G.O's footsoldiers) are putting up to ensure Pastor Osinbajo comes out victorious. This is not limited to the RCCG alone as close sources within the Catholic faith and other radical pentecostalsare now much more sympathetic to the progressives cause having also revealed similar plans. If these works out, President Jonathan maybe more empty politically than we think. This is the price you pay when campaigns are based on religion rather than issues and policies.

As at last year, even though the All Progressive Congress controls majority the Southwestern states, pragmatic politics showed that the electorates may favour Jonathan (with exception of Lagos) compared to Buhari largely due to the rancour among leaders of the All Progressive Congress in the states and lack of connect of the Governors in those states with the electorates as against a perceived united Peoples Democratic Party.  However, the lack of decisive leadership saw the party losing what could have been a bulk vote in Oyo state torn into shreds with the emergence of major political heavy weights under different party platforms. The implication of this is that the votes which ought to have been galvanised for PDP during the presidential election will now receive minimal attentionfrom political actors, some of whose parties are even without presidential candidates as the political exposure of an average Nigerian is still immature to result into voting for different parties in a single election.

The Southeast which was initially penned down as the unshakable stronghold of the president now appears as uncertain. The endless bickering on PDP'sgubernatorial candidature in Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo have opened a glimmer of hope for APC in those states. The All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) believed to represent the political consciousness of the south Easternershas suddenly pulled out of its usual endorsement for President Jonathan to pitch tent with General Buhari. In a similar action, foremost Igbo socio-cultural group, OhanezeNdigboin spite of pressures to endorse Mr. Jonathan have refused to yield. The South South region also doesn't seems united in having Jonathan win the election with divisions in Bayelsa, Delta and AkwaIbom. The results from these regions may not only be shocking but catastrophical.

If there is one thing APC has gotten right, it is its campaign strategy. Beyond criticism, the party has been able to put forward a well coordinated campaign with the youth at the forefront of its media and mobilization section. This has helped the party reach out to minds of young ones in schools, Colleges, Universities and other tertiary institutions. The party has also done well in the management of resources, as funds get to the right hands and used judiciously.

The Peoples Democratic Party in spite of its huge resources continue to run an uncoordinated, uninspiring, ridiculous and tan-ated adverts which possesses little or no content but a choreography of dancers dancing to nowhere.

Let's believe the world may have been bamboozled into believing lies and propagandas against the President but what excuse can the president give to these elements right under his control that he let slipped away?

Some say the time for change is now, I say let what will be, be. As for me, I stand with history in February, praying silently that this path would never be taken again!

I guess people are now waking up to the fact that Jonathan and his team have done a bad job to convince us that they have any ideas left in their think-tank.

Now the usual supporters have all started deserting him.
They have seen the light too.

Only #Change is constant.
