Truckpusher: Why should the govt. pay for a political Ebola.

What do u mean political Ebola

Stephen Davis Acting Obasanjo's
Script-Asari
Leader of the defunct Niger Delta Volunteers
Force, Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo has declared
that the Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis is
acting a script written by former Olusegun
President Obasanjo by his recent disclosure on
the sponsors of Boko Haram.
Asari-Dokubo in an interview with newsmen
insisted that Davis was being economical with
the truth.
He said it was laughable that the negotiator
fingered former Chief of Army Staff, General
Azubuike Ihejirika and former governor Ali Modu
Sheriff as sponsors of Boko Haram, when the
sect had made statements against the duo.
His words: “I know Stephen Davis very well. I
know him to his family. I think he is economical
with the truth. As somebody I know, I was
disappointed. I was the first person Stephen
Davis negotiated with. I am totally disappointed
in the politics he is playing.
“He negotiated with me when I was in the creek
on behalf of the European Embassies in Nigeria.
He negotiated with me to cease fire and come
out to meet with the then President Olusegun
Obasanjo. He negotiated with me without paying
anything. We only agreed because we thought
Obasanjo would be sincere, but it did not
happen.
“How can he say opposition is sponsoring Boko
Haram and then the first name he would mention
is Azubuike Ihejirika. When did Ihejirika start to
sponsor Boko Haram, was it when it was formed
in 2002 when he was never Chief of Army Staff
or when their leader Mohammed Yusuf was
extra-judicially murdered in 2009; when did he
start
sponsoring if not that someone is playing
politics.
“When you bring pepper soup joint talk to
national issues, it is sad. He has diminished
himself as an International negotiator. I hold him
in very high regard but I am disappointed.
“He said former governor Ali Modu Sheriff is
sponsoring Boko Haram, and I ask, when? Was it
when they accused him of allegedly murdering
Yusuf’s father-in law who was his former
Commissioner? Lest we forget, one of the
demands of Boko Haram in 2009 was that Sheriff
should be put on trial, so when did he start the
sponsorship?
“Now, all of a sudden, Sherrif who was a
chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC)
was not a sponsor of Boko Haram until he
defected to the PDP.
“Now, APC are now shouting. So, when they
were hobnobbing with him he was not a Boko
Haram sponsor until now? APC is evil and they
are hiding the truth from people. As far as I am
concerned, my friend Stephen Davis has totally
reduced himself.
“All his comments are pepper soup joint talk. He
did not name other members of the opposition
but mentioned Ihejirika. The same Ihejirika, El
Rufai and others said should be taken to
International Court for War Crimes, now he said
he is a sponsor of Boko Haram.
“Davis is Obasanjo’s friend. Obasanjo brought
him to Nigeria and he is playing Obasanjo‘s
script. He is playing Obasanjo’s agenda.
Whoever introduced him to the government
should have done a background check on him”.
On Chibok girls, he reiterated his comment that
Boko Haram did not kidnap any teenage girl.
“Just like I read that the #BringBackGoodluck
Jonathan signpost should be removed. Why is
the government pretending that some girls are
missing? No girls are missing. They should not
play politics with this thing. Nobody is missing.
It is a scam “There is nothing like that; I still
want to believe.
There was no time girls were kidnapped”.
Reminded that even the international community
were helping out in the search of the girls,
Dokubo said that notwithstanding, he maintains
his position.
“Which international community? The
international community that went to Iraq and
said there were weapons of mass destruction, till
today, they have not seen any. The International
community that went to Libya to kill Ghadaffi
and today have totally destroyed Libya.
“Which International community are you talking
about; the international community with vested
interests? They came since with goggle map and
co, so why have they not located the girls? It is
a disgrace. Why have American soldiers not
rescue the girls?”

omazus: No wise ruler will drop Sambo as his Vice for any other person. Mark my words: that man is one the greatest loyal personalities in Nigeria. He knows his place and keeps it. If I were Jonah I will finish with this man and hand over to him in 2019. Of course I know the opposition are the sponsors of this article just to cause confusion.

No doubt about that but he is not trying enough to win his peoples mind for Jonathan.
If he was able to convince his elders n brothers for Jonathan then he would have remained.
If the last rumor I heard last year is true then some other governor is facilitating his people for Goodluck reelection n I bet Goodluck won't leave that person for Sambo.

egift: APC do not compare Nigeria to USA. All that Nigerians want include:
- Stop the ongoing massive corruption
- Unite Nigerians
- Secure our citizens, properties and businesses in Nigeria
- Build infrastructures and amenities across the Federation
- Provide the empowerment opportunities, jobs and resources.
- Provide a level playing platform for Nigerians to grow with "Man-Know-Man" mentality currently in place.
- Punishment to those who do not want to stop perpetrating evil and destruction of Nigerians.

Nigeria is a great great nation. A change in leadership will help this giant to stop crawling on his stomach.

Do u think it is easy to do as you are saying.
Just imagine u been paid 50000 n
1. U will provide for ur parents
2. Cater for ur children n wife
3. Assist ur brothers in school
4. Friends looking for help from u
5. Wife's mother to be cared for
6. Extended family issues
Do u think the APC states has done well for their states?

People should mind the way they comment. Dat he gives visions not wanted by many is not enough reason to call him names.
God did not show him this one cause only God is the final say.
Feel pity for him.

mistudreh: Funny set of clowns deceiving Nigerians... No be presidency dey finance the group? Our eyes don clear, we aren't f0ols!!!

No be president dey finance the group. The group they finance themselves but knowing that in due time their hard money they have spent will yield good harvest in return.
President has no time for that now u hear.

Jo Nigerian president who has tested so many
challenge from those who hate him. Even those
who call themselves friends. But u c, despite
these hard moments he is doing well.
Obama could not deliver just two of his
Journalists for about two years b4 dey were
beheaded by the ISIS.
Here we are blaming Jonathan for people
struggling power from him.
People should stop hatred and give credence even
if he is not doin anything we can c for now.
Remember there r thieves in the community yet
village heads can't stop them.
Lagos a place of shine your eyes Fashola can't
make deer to be Paradise.
Let's learn to preach love.
If Boko Haram makes Jonathan not to contest
Niger Delta militants will rise and Nigeria will
divide.
The same people hating Jonathan will still
complain y not leave him there cause it will
benefit the South South.
Let's there be peace.

fruqsy: Yeah it's very easy to put the blame on Mr president,but again he is the President so he must learn to take blames same way credit would be given to him even on matters we know not if it was his doings...but to be frank its not easy being in his shoes i know some idiots would be like who forced him there...my question is who do you have to put there?,they are all the same most Nigeria politicians seek for power without knowing what it entails...i pity for Jonathan seriously,i hope God help him and help Nigeria as a whole...i'm not a p.d.p fan but we'll have to learn to see above party politics.. Thank you!

I see that Jonathan is gradually doing away with the USA that is y they are doing all things to have Jonathan back on their mind.

seunmsg: So PDP sacrificed Ribadu for Fintiri? Why is it so difficult for PDP to always put their best candidate forward? Anyway, good luck to the people of Adamawa state who will bear the consequences of having another incompetent governor.

The calculations in PDP is that the actin governor should complete will either Ribadu or Tukur are chosen for 2015.

How many committee Jonathan don set, how many don work how many never work .
Jona is desperate in this one that is y he has appointed those he think will deliver .

Those two pix looks the same

The negotiator did not submit report to Jonathan because if he had done, Jonathan would have investigated more and find out more truth. But the man is in Australia I guess and been interviewed hmmm.
I trust Jonathan, he won't say anything but rather comes out with the clean truth then we will know who are the true sponsors of Boko Haram.

amnestylaw1: Jonathan, like SOME other past leaders, have incompetent and/or bad advisors. They'd rather not tell him the truth than lose their jobs. They seem to praise him even when he is not getting it right. Presidents are mere humans and need good to excellent advisors if s/he is to perform well. To answer your question, I think Jonathan is not the problem, but the people surrounding him... His handling of the various issues like BH, etc must have been from the advice he got from those who surround him.

The north, the Yorubas, and indeed other Nigerians who seem to shout "Jonathan Until 2015" seem to do so because they feel Nigerians are not better off under this "administration" when compared to the past leaders. Whom do you expect the people to blame? The leader and his party- on whom his policies are rested and actualized...

Do u expect him to us the army to flush out the Boko Haram then what about those who sponsors these boys. See what is happening at Syria.

egift: PDP is the Problem of Nigeria. - don't get it twisted

Will APC makes Nigeria look like US if voted into power?

Everything seems to be bad in PDP and causes laid on Jonathan even as I c him d best. He has tried at least but cannot comprehend why he has not been appreciated by many even in the midst of the growth in Nigeria.
Seeing all the abuses and condemnation attributed to Jonathan even by some PDP in North like Jigawa I have this to ask.
* Is PDP really the problem of these people
* Is Jonathan not really performing
* How many of these governors have changed the lives of people of their state.
* If Jonathan leaves to contest will PDP be a good Party
These are questions I need answers to.

obailala: @Op,
To correct an erroneous assumption which you made, it is ONLY in Nigeria or maybe in Africa and other third world shaky democracies that an opposition party would come out and applaud the ruling party. I suppose your model of an opposition is what we have in Labour Party and APGA or in the 2007 and 2011 elections where 30 different political parties would endorse the incumbent president as their candidate?

You cannot be blamed because you were born in a country where all your life, you have been ruled by autocratic dictators and even when we transited to 'civilian' rule, we still practised an autocratic single party system up till last year when the APC was formed. Therefore, it doesn't come as a surprise that you and most Nigerians who are 'probably' sympathetic to GEJ/PDP and who are already used to autocracy, are confused at the concept of an opposition party being a pain in the butt of the ruling party.

Just like OseghaleEbosele rightly mentioned on this thread, go and study the situation in USA (Democratic Party vs Republican Party), UK and Australia(Labour Party vs Conservative Party), France (Socialist Party vs Union for a Popular Movement), Germany (Social Democratic. Party vs Christian Democratic Union). In the UK today, for every major decision made by the prime minister, an open debate would be held in the house of parliament between the prime minister Vs. the head of the opposition party; You need to understand that that is the beauty of democracy. The kind of opposition we have in Nigeria today is even a child's play because no matter how the APC screams of criticises, the ruling party still autocratically goes ahead to do whatever it likes...

...and just before I close this, @Op, can you please give an example of one of the 'good' policies of GEJ which was opposed by APC?

Sorry to say this, last term we had two main opposition party the ACN and the CPC.
If Okorocha wins in IMO does it change his attitudes to when he conducted in APGA.
One thing is the most of these governors people put them there and if they are no longer with u, u cannot win. Why has Goodluck reconciled with Obasanjo.
APC leaders check there records and check Jonathans.

arresa: Respect begets respect.

Amaechi remains the elected governor of Rivers and turning his state upside down, sending the crooked and corrupt political police commissioner and thugs like Wike to harass and intimidate the seating governor of Rivers state was not only disrespectful, but also subversive and lawless...All while the GEJ looked the other way.

What about the Governors Forum fiasco the president engineered against Amaechi? That wasn't disrespect?

Respect begets respect.

Do you know any LGA chairman dat did not support Amaechi was sacked unconstitutionally.
If Jonathan was that hash he would have forced Amaechi out of office but I think there are more problems Jona needed to solve rather wasting time on Amaechi.
Jona might not even touch Amaechi even if he wins election but what will be of Amaechi.

Are we sure DSP really told Amaechi that Jonathan has no rein in his wife or He is trying to set confusion between Jona and DSP.

Hollysaint: Please are you an illiterate?do u not knw that Amaechi has imunity?did you not see where it was stated that the first lady is the cause of the problem.have yo u forgot that we are in democracy and the constitution guarantees freedom of speech?

How is the First Lady the problem of Rivers State. The first Lady told Amaechi do not destroy the water front except u provide an alternative of livelihood for the people but he Amaechi refused and so the first Lady tried to protect her people.

To scope woman dey hard me how I wan carry start am.
Suggestions please.

He will rule UK.
Nigeria is getting better only bad people troubling Goodluck n d only way out is to work with d most bad guys so u can gain a head n do what ever u wish.

If am not mistaken Senators gets lot of money because someone wants to remain on the top.
Doctors are on strike because of Minister of health I know.
Polytechnic were on strike because of Nyesome Woke.
Why are these people politicizing everything.
Why are Nigerians not seeing the good aspect of people.
How many years now n y now

Rivers State has one too

Hmmmmm are they running short off cash? or they will remove it in 2015 completely after election.

So many things come to the mind when this dreaded disease "Ebola" is mentioned.
What surprised me the most is how the Virus came to selected countries of Africa. It also get me wondered how those two US citizens got contacted and are responding to treatment.
Am not accusing any body but I think something is fishy some where.
Either the us are responsible for these in order to make money and also be fame or they are looking to control the whole place.
What ever it is, i believe this Ebola will stop . In the main time, adhere to the teachings of God. Jehovah God and His Christ.

Is that possible. Collecting signatures, before they finish the house might have concluded all plans and now there d governor has been petitioned with EFCC.
