Not from Abia, but T A Orji should be the worst governor. No visible development in that state.

This is so disappointing. Didnt see what the hype is all about.

@ delafruita or whatever useless name you call urself, Ur Igbo neighbor works hard for
his money. Unless your dumb ass, BIG F O O L , sorry self accompanied him to go and do the
rituals. Stop being lazy and go to Ijebu Ode to look for ritualists.

I find it hard to believe that a rational person would have unprotected sex with 3 persons
in one week while engaged with another person. If the story is true, then the girl in question is
mindless and will ruin the naive Tunde. There is every reason to inform Tunde of the abortion and
the waywardness of his fiancee. His life is at stake here.

lawyerchap:
What, no nominations updates? You guys have got to be kidding me!

This seasons BBA show is rather boring so far. The Nigerian girl Vina is up for eviction.
I cant feel her so far and her chat session was disappointing. I wont be surprised if she
walks on Sunday.

Stupid thread. Majority of the Yorubas voted GEJ. Stop turning every event into a tribal war

A CPC/ACN alliance at this stage cannot stop GEJ. ACN is not in full control of Southwest votes. GEJ will win in Ondo, Ogun , Oyo and Lagos. This
is a no contest. Buhari can only win convincingly in the North west and cannot possibly get 25% in 24 states. GEJ on the other hand will get 25%
in at least 30 states. Those dreaming of a run off had better wake up.
The BB supporters who think that a 'president' Buhari will probe and prosecute OBJ, IBB, Abdasallam or even an ex president GEJ are also living in dreamland.
His much touted anti corruption toga is really ill fitting.

Nairalanders and fake results. People were celebrating the 'death' of PDP
before authentic results were announced. Now that PDP seems to be leading
some are screaming rigging. Is it only fair when those we support win?

debosky:
To provide additional context, let's hear from Jakande himself:

Explaining how Shagari and Buhari worked against the metro-rail project, Jakande said there was delay after the N700 million metro-line project was awarded to a French firm with the arrangement to first pay N70 million and pay the rest in the space of two years.

He said the delay compelled him to ask "my commissioner for works to investigate why the N70 million mobilisation fund was not released. The commissioner investigated and discovered that it was President who asked the Central Bank of Nigeria not to release the money.

"I was told President Shagari was angry because I did not congratulate him after his controversial election and because I won election on the platform of an opposition party. I later approached him and explained the problem facing execution of the project and that CBN refused N70 million reserved for its take-off.

Our leaders [i] are so petty[/i]

Buhari is clearly a leader that lacks vision. The decision to cancel the metroline project
was dumb.His explanation just underscores this fact.
Nigeria needs better and more visionary  leadership in this age and time.

So sad this is happening again so soon after the last quake.
The Japanese are very resourceful people and am sure they will
pull through. They are doing their utmost to master their environment.

I will not vote for a man who in his younger days as head of state and chairman of PTF ceded
control to Idiagbon and Afri-Projects. How can he be in control as an old man with a National
Assembly to contend with?

jega jaga elections

Sagamite:
WTF?

The first characteristics you should put for GEJ is "Dunce", followed by "Dumb".

@ Sagamite You are quick to call somebody Dunce and Dumb. That is so disrespectful to his
person and his office. At the same time you are extolling the so called virtures of someone who commited
high treason against his country. This is somebody who as GOC of the Nigerian army overthrew the government
he was supposed to protect with his life. Somebody whose ineptitude spawned the most corrupt regime in the history
of Nigeria- IBB regime.
I was inclined towards voting Buhari, but the likes of Sagamite have made me have a rethink. I am now seeing clearly
the several ills i nearly overlooked.
Nigeria deserves better than Buhari. Why not Shekarau for goodness sake.

Nigerians never cease to amaze me. Buhari has suddenly become the messiah we have been
waiting for simply on the basis of not been personally corrupt. Shekarau we all know is not
personally corrupt, has a good grasp of issues that the president should tackle and does not
have the baggage Buhari is carrying. So why are people not rooting for Shekarau?
Buhari is not a leader that takes responsibility. During his regime Tunde Idiagbon was really
in charge and more or less called the tune. At PTF Afri-Projects was in charge of everything, and they
saw PTF as a vehicle for the development of the North. seventy per cent of PTF projects were sited in
the North.
When they overthrew the Shagari government, the Southern and Christian office holders including the then
Vice President- Ekwueme were kept in Kirikiri while Shagari was kept under house arrest. Yet people are not
worried that such an ethno-centric character wants to be president. Do not let people like GenBuhari on Nairaland
who does not even know that Abacha is the CPC gubernatorial candidate in Kano pool wool over your eyes.
These people live in the comfort of their overseas bases and drum up support for candidates they do not know
their antecedents.
The southern Drug peddlers that were executed under a retro active law would have been let off if they had been Muslims.
A Buhari presidency is a very dangerous prospect for Christians and Southerners in this age and time. Your guess is as good as mine as
to why the almajiris have such a fanatical support for Buhari, Its not because of Nigeria, its because of the Muslim North.
My people have a saying that - you dont learn to be left handed in old age. Buhari is set in his ethno-centrism. Nigerians BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

Most of these CPC supporters are so dishonest and disingenuous in their posts. The game plan
seems to be to blame GEJ for everything wrong in the country and outside our shores.
Ibori is supposedly bailed and GEJ is responsible
Jega makes a mess of the National Assembly Elections and GEJ is responsible.
Tell enough lies repeatedly and some people will believe them.
You people really make the BB ticket unattractive with your level of intolerance.

I suspect that this is sabotage. We need to be furnished with details of the contractor handling
the supply of voting materials. I bet the person has been compromised to make this administration
and not Jega appear incompetent. Some people are bent on having this power at all cost. I believe
that it the same set of people responsible for all the bombings that are behind this.
The speed which some leaders employed in praising Jega for his courage is suspicious.
The civil society groups clamoured for Jega (Mr. Integrity) and GEJ obliged them. His incompetence
should not be blamed on GEJ.

@ seadogg, you are so uncouth. What happened to freedom of opinion. Must everything turn
to insults. The anonymity of Nairaland should not give you the license to display how ill bred you are.
Your picture indicates that you are probably a Boko Haram sympathizer, so you should explain how you have access
to the internet. Grow up please.

9ijaMan:
And how did you come about this bogus 40% figure? Where you asked to state your tribe or state of origin during the last INEC registration?
I laugh in Mandarin when I see GEJ guys engage in self conceitedness.

Just a few more days and you will cry in pidgin or Hausa.

when did they discharge you from Yaba Left

@Seedord247 or whatever u call yourself, you are so infantile if u think its the 100 or so of
you that are campaigning for Buhari that will make him win the SW. Sadly most of u are not even based in the country,
some dont even know our political system and definitely will not vote. Get out on the streets and interact with the real
voters before you post. You will be shocked to knom that most of the Yorubas in Lagos are voting GEJ, not to talk of the SE and SS
Lagos residents that form the core of his support base. Be reminded that they make up over 40% of registered voters in Lagos.

Those expecting a run off in the Presidential election are in for a shocker. PDP will win this
at the first ballot. The battle ground is really in the South West, and I believe Jonathan will win
majority votes in the South West. I see him taking at least 60% of the votes in Lagos and not less
than 30% in Ogun, Oyo and Ondo. He will also win in the North Central. Sorry no run-off election.

BB mania in the south is more or less limited to internet forums at the moment. The poster has done a
wonderful analysis that should be a wake up call to BB supporters.
I expect the BB fans to come up with strategies, and have a corps of volunteers that will start an effective door to door
campaign in the North Central, South East and South south where the ticket doesnt seem very strong.

^^^^ Isnt it rather naive to say that religion doesnt matter in politics? I really wish that Nigeria has advanced to the
stage when Tribe[b]and[b]Religion[b]Will no longer matter in our politics.[/b][/b][/b]

MP007:
muslim-muslim ticket? Who cares? how did the chirstian-muslim and vice versa ticket of the last 12 years work out? awesome?. Its time we vote in people based on their record of nation building rather than religious affliations. wake up nigeria

Majority of christians in the middle-bel tand SE still care about a Muslim-Muslim ticket . The religious crisis in Jos has widened the rift and it will take truly exceptional candidates to mend such cracks.
Ribadu and Fola Adeola dont seem that exceptional to me.

Most people are overlooking the fact that PDP has reasonable political structure in the west
and with the large Igbo and SS voters in the S west, GEJ will get at least 35% of the votes in
the SW. If he holds on to his apparent lead in the NC, and the expected block votes from SE and
SS, he will win the presidential polls.
Ribadu at best will win in Lagos and few other SW states and nowhere else outside the SW. If it
is true that he has picked Adeola as his running mate, then it is just to make a reasonable showing
in the SW.
Buhari remains the only real threat to GEJ. All those rooting for a change should vote Buhari and forget
Ribadu.

@ Honerico, we both know that Ribadu is a spoiler. He doesnt command the kind of followership
Buhari commands in the North, his votes will come from the southwest- Lagos in particular.
GEJ has an iron grip on the south-south and South-East votes blunder or no blunder.
He will still win in the North-Central.
The only candidate that has a chance of beating him is Buhari, and it is a slim one.

rebranded:
Votes will be split

North will go with CPC
SW will go with ACN
SE will go with Jonathan

Battle of which zone has the most eligible voters

CPC will not win in the entire North
North-west will vote Buhari/Bakare
North- East votes will be split with GEJ having a slight lead.
North Central will Vote GEJ at least 75%
South west will be a battle ground, GEj will win 30% of votes
South East 90% GEJ
South-South 95% GEJ

So GEJ wins even withan ACN/CPC alliance- if he can avoid more
blunders . He should know that he is not OBJ.

This is really sad news. Lets pray it doesnt get worse.

Am not sure that the poster actually travelled to Nnewi. I have just come back from Nnewi, and there has been a massive
reconstruction of roads in Nnewi. The Dame Etiaba government awarded contracts for the reconstruction of more than 10
roads in Nnewi. Peter Obi saw to the completion of these roads. Awka has not benefited as much as Nnewi has in road Construction
in this administration. I however concede that there has not been much investment in other critical infrastructure needed in a
developing rural center like Nnewi.

The North craves power at all cost.The bombings in Jos and other parts of the North are more political than
Religious. It is ironical that the Northern Elite that have made the country underdeveloped and the far North
the least developed and poorest part of the country would turn round to blame the Jonathan govt that has been in power
for less than a year for the poverty in the North. They will not deceive us.Jonathan dumb as he is, is better than their best.

Eto o deserves the award. Period.

The polls are not really significant at these point, unless it is a poll of likely PDP delegates to the convention.
GEJ will likely trounce Atiku at the primaries and go on to win the presidential election.
