If Afonja Muslims had liked Fayose, Nwodo and his PDP cannot stop Fayose for President 2019.
Nwodo and his PDP chiefs merely want to use an easier way - a northerner - to capture Aso Rock 2019; but without counting the consequences.
The consequences are: the PDP northern president from 2019 shall remain in office, possibly till 2027.
by 2027, the present vexed political structure and unitary government system must have been entrenched, such that it shall even become TREASON to ask for restructure of Nigeria politically.
Nwodo and his men did not put into account that northern Nigeria has produced leaders of Nigeria in 41 of the 57 years of Nigeria as an independent country.
Nwodo and his men started to count from 1999, as if Nigeria came into existence in 1999.
Fayose remained the last man fighting the opposition APC. The Nwodos and their PDP chiefs remained mum when it mattered most for the survival of their party.
zoba88: In a highly impact-ful and successful campaign, the Plateau State Association, UK in solidarity with other Plateau citizens, staged a “Justice Protest” to condemn, the incessant murders of innocent people in Plateau villages by Fulani herdsmen.
The protest commenced at the Nigerian High Commission London, following the receipt of approval from the British Police, the Westminster City Council and other relevant authorities for the protest to proceed.
Plateau citizens resident in London, British citizens, Europeans and several individuals joined the protest, expressing their disgust/sympathy and disapproval at the high number of people killed in the last six months and the inability of Government to act accordingly.
At the end of the Protest, the President of the organisation – Mrs. Josephine Ibrahim along with the General Secretary (Mr Rwang Chall) read/issued a communique condemning the acts of terrorism in Plateau villages and then subsequently handed over a dossier of pictures, which profiled most of the killings on the Plateau to the Acting High Commissioner, Mr. Tajudeen Adeniyi who was present at the protest.
IT'S ANOTHER SEASON OF DECEPTION IN NIGERIA. But only gullible ones can be deceived.
Sultan is creating the wrong impression that Buhari's government is the cause of divisiveness in Nigeria . Fafafa - foul, as Zebrudaya Okorigwe would say.
Divisiveness in Nigeria is mainly caused by the fraudulent political structure and unitary government system created and institutionalized in Nigeria by northern Nigeria's military dictators who supervised the 1999 constitution that institutionalized the parasitic political structure and unitary government system - both favour only northern Nigeria at the expense of development in the south of Nigeria where Nigeria's development funds are procured..
Divisiveness is also pushed by the excessive push by Fulani of northern Nigeria to impose Islam upon all in Nigeria.
aminulive: The Sultan of Sokoto has blamed injustice in appointments and allocation of resources as the causes of crisis and disunity in the nation, PoliticsNGR has learned.
Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar, who is also the President General of the supreme council for Islamic affairs made this statement on Wednesday at a collaborative interfaith peace and security capacity building workshop organized by the Nigerian army resource centre, NARC in Abuja.
The sultan who was represented by the Executive secretary of the Abuja National mosque said that an all-inclusive government remains the solution to the myriads of problems facing the country.
"When it comes to issue of dispensation of justice and equitable distribution of resources, that should be done without fear or favour, affection or ill will.
You are not there yourself as a leader and because you have some encounters with a group of people, either a person or a group of persons in a particular area, you should not hold on to it so as not to extend justice to them.
Allah says “do not allow your hatred of a particular group of people to make you decide not to extend justice to them. Whatever happens, you must extend the spirit of justice to them all without fear or favour, affection or ill-will.
“This issue of justice goes down to whatever decision you are going to take, whether it’s against you or against your parents or against your own children or against your other relations, let alone saying you will not extend justice because you know somebody or because he is from your town. Justice must be based on fair and equitable distribution of assets to all."
Easterners started to agitate for restoration of Biafra shortly after the 12 northern Nigeria's Sharia states unilaterally adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes between 1999 and early 2000s.
Lopsided political appointment by President Buhari has no business with agitation for restoration of Biafra.

memez: Sahara Reporters shared these photos of the meal being served to the presidential guards at the statehouse in Abuja. They say the food is 'crappy' when compared to the N1 billion budgeted for feeding in the presidency.

ChangeIsCostant: The unfinished statue of Liberian President, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, has been visibly spotted in Owerri ahead of the president's two-day visit to Imo state. According to a report by Imo state government, Liberian president will arrive Imo state on Thursday, November 9, 2017, to meet with students of the Rochas Foundation College of Africa and the Students from Liberia in particular whose parents died of Ebola.
The Liberian president will also be expected to key into Vision 2030 of ROCHAS FOUNDATION COLLEGE, targetted at taking one million children of Africa out of the street and giving them education.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, will be appreciated with Imo Merit Award and a road will also be named after her. And with all the feats she has achieved, she earns a Place in the Imo Hall of fame.
How it all started: around 2012, Gov. Rochas Okorocha was advised by Owerri people that constitute his core advisers to forget rest of Imo state, but build for Imo state a befitting capital city to be proud of by every Imo citizen; Owerri to become the Dubai of Africa; that in future, other governors may consider development in other towns in Imo state. Rochas agreed, abandoned rest of Imo state, including urban roads and drainage system in Orlu and Okigwe, but use the the federal allocations of the 27 local government areas and state allocations to bulldoze old structures and build new ones in Owerri. Meanwhile, rest of Imo outside Owerri decays.
Now, Rochas is at the stage of decorating Owerri streets with statues of prominent people. But Owerri thinks Rochas is crazy.
Kizyte: Hundreds die everyday, yet we have a president! I've never seen a blood thirsty president!
Jonathan: "No one's political ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian".
Buhari: "By the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’’
But Buhari shall rule Nigeria as long as he wants, no thanks to Nigeria's political structure recreated by northern soldiers who wrongly used land mass as yardstick and created 20 states in one northern region, but allowed only 17 states in two southern regions.
Worse, most of Nigeria's political class from the south do not understand the role the 20 states in one northern region play to make even a cow from northern Nigeria be capable of defeating any most qualified presidential candidate from the old southern regions, the southern politicians do not understand that land mass is no yardstick to create new states or lgas in a country formed by many regions.
nairavsdollars: No matter how hard things are under Buhari, those of us who remain in Nigeria are not dead.STOP THE DESPERATION
But during the 2015 campaign, Buhari wife, Aisha, foretold the difficulties in Benin City. Will Oshiomwhole agree there are more difficulties than ever before ?
RIP, poor innocent girls. You were unfortunately born Nigerians. This is what Nigeria's leaders brought to its children.
Ikemba Ojukwu promptly reacted as political leader of the east when easterners were killed in far away northern Nigeria. Ojukwu responded with declaring Biafra for a safe homeland for easterners.
But now, Punnnnani sent its soldiers down south and killed Igbos, but so-called elected politicians did not even ask questions.
So why would any Igbo care to vote anybody again in Nigeria's election?
Cyynthialove: Indeed, IPOBS are in charge of the masses.
Not renting crowd during campaign period like what we are seeing of recently,the truth of the matter is ..... How many people will come out and vote ?
A lot of people will now come to this thread and start crying more than the bereaved by saying that wrong candidate will use the election boycott opportunity to enter office bla bla bla ,as if the ones they voted in the past are working or as if people currently occupying Nig political offices now are Saints, the same set of animals will still laugh at Ipobs/ibos if there was no boycott
Lol. Punnnani gwonment of Pederal Refuvliv of Naijeriyaaa hired Mohamed Ibn from Ghana and works for the UN to go thank Nwodo for looking the other way as Punnnani-sponsored operation python smile consumed unarmed Igbo youths.
Operation Python Dance alone is enough to make any reasonable Igbo to boycott any more elections in Nigeria.
How could one elect people who keep silent as invaders come to decimate your people?
Only foolish people in the south-south believed that Asari was fighting for us and not his pocket. Majority of we Niger Delta knew that he was fighting for his pocket.
How will you be blowing up pipe lines and poluting our rivers and farm land and you say that you are fighting for us? When you see a real freedom fighter you will know. He will first of us have his people on his mind before he takes any action. Do you know how many innocent souls that kanu brainwashed to confront the Nigeria army that his army will defeat them and they believed him and wasted their lives not knowing that Kanu has plan be to escape?
A real man ought to know a real freedom fighter and the one that is fighting for his pocket.
Asari was settled then by Jonathan and he went to Benin republic to open a university.
Kanu was been sponsored to destabilize this present administration by those that lost power in 2015 and when the heat was much they escaped him out of the country while those his foolish followers lost their lives.
So,you really believed that what Ojukwu a lion and a trained military man couldn't achieve that the small boy Kanu will achieve it.
South-east should stop hating and form alliance with other zones and in no time they will produce a president but if the think they can do it alone,then they will wait forever
Pity you. Myopia is often genetic. Reading what you put down makes one remember court jesters.
Then Gov Ikedi Ohakim took President Yaradua and other big leaders to Okigwe to commission multi-billion Naira projects.
Former Gov. Achike Udenwa took President Obasanjo to Orlu to commission multi-billion Naira projects.
Okorocha intends to show off his achievements which are only in his new hometown - Owerri. Except Okorocha shall take Buhari to his new private university in his native hometown in Ideato South lga.
Gov Okorocha is itching to show his Owerri ten-lane streets to president Buhari.
The other two zones in Imo state, including their two major cities - Orlu and Okigwe -- are forced on development holiday since Okorocha joined APC, they decay, denied infrastructure by Okorocha for reasons best known only to himself.
whateverkay: IPOB is a terrorist organization and no sane govt would sit and watch them preach election boycott. Those guys deserve to be shot on their skulls to serve as a warning to other ipob idiots
Mugu. Only a crude oil proceeds desperado terrorist government, or a government which represents modern day axis of evil can brand a group of unarmed and flag-flying citizens like IPOB as a terrorist group.
A question for Mr Umar: in that 1999 constitution supervised by northern Nigeria through its soldiers, was there any clause that bars one from expressing one's opinion either verbally or on print?
There is none. How far can you go with making Nigeria an animal kingdom as you arrest or even kill anyone who goes against Fulani design for Nigeria.
Watched a most recent twenty minutes documentary on Okorocha's achievement in Imo state.
Every infrastructure development showed in the twenty minutes are in Owerri, with Owerri local music as background music of the entire documentary. A few seconds to the end, a paved road was shown and said "this is Orlu." End.
But Owerri capital territory is less than 5% of Imo state; so, what is in the mindset of people governing today's Imo state? Are we in Owerri State?
Prominent people from the Niger delta have relocated to Abuja after the conquered Niger delta was deeply polluted by oil spillages and denial of development infrastructure by the federal government.
Edwin Clark, Tirmpiriye Silva, Obong Attah, etc. all speak from Abuja where they have homes.
Unexplainable Igbophobia made them, and makes them kick against Biafra where their peoples can control their God-given natural resources, and remain full-fledged citizens with weight.
