Buying a plane no be beans. No be like tokunbo cars wey u fit jump start. Servicing alone 100's of thousand of dollars if not millions. Money miss- road no dey buy jet. The oil money has to be flowing consistently once the thing dry u have had it.

Even rigging sef get k-leg like we all witnesss in offa.

Wahala dey even Bayelsa sef don embrace new PDP. How low could Mr President sink.

^^^^^^^

Truth is bitter. Is Jonanthan going to conjure figures from d thin air. The offa debacle would be child's place when d SW,NE,NW and NC rise and reject any fictious results.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Anambra State would not deliver Jonathan to Nigerians. He need to go to places like Alimosho to appeal to them. Democracy is a numbers game. Even in 2003 I can swear baba iyabo did not win d 2003 elections. D yorubas only allowed him to get away with blue-murder. Jonathan would not have that previledge except in d SE & SS. Those areas sef get k-leg.

Alimosho LG Area population - 1 million.

Bayelsa State Niger Delta - 500, 000.00

Alimosho LG area in Lagos State is more than d whole of Bayelsa State. Let us see d Goverment magic GEJ would do in 2015.

He should learn to take defeat like d Austrialian Prime miniister who lost his post this week. Jonatnan cannot come to d sw, nw, ne and nc to impose fictious figures without a fight from d locals. Even in d SE & SS na touch and go. Considering d likelyhood of a split in vote in Imo & Rivers State. In d NC apart from Benue and Pleatue state where else is he going to get vote from.

For u to be able to rigg an election in Nigeria u should belong to a major tribe. Obansanjo had to rigg massively in sw b4 he could secure a second term for himself and a 1st term 4 Yaradua. But jonathan where does he want to start from ?!!!

Jonathan is a goner moreso when one think in d se Imo State is APC territory what else does Jonathan have as a bargaing chip. Abeg make we leave matter messers Jonathan is already a lameduck as it were.

The day u were born d process of dying commences. For some of us it would take few days after birth to complete d dying process while for some of us it might take 90 years b4 d dying process finalizes. So ladies & gentlemen do not despire we are all dying.

2nd term is a diseses. No Governors are delivering. I don't get it.

Nobody is disputing GEJ's indelible right to see his current term to its logical conclusion. But beyond that day, it is everyman for himself and God for all, that is when d long knives would be drawn. Impeachment might be a veritable tool to use then and not now. The saying goes whoever wants to eat with d devil must learn how to use a long spoon. The dessidents in d PDP can sheath their swords for now and fight another day.

There is also d saying which stipulates that there are no permanent friends in politics only permanent interest. The way forward for GEJ is to follow suite of those b4 him. People like IBB who once upon a time has an eye on d convected sit in Aso Rock but has to sheath his sword 4 d country to move on hence why GEJ should take cue from this Gentleman and follow his admirable sacrifice. Jonathan does not want to be another Buhari who has chosen d part of dishonour and run for every election favaurable or not to d detriment of his elder stateman status.

An elder stateman Jonathan would be d voice of d wealthy niger delta, a bargaing chip he should not throw away for another junketing in Aso Rock. As d voice of Niger Deltans he would not only be a powerful pressure group on any Goverment in power he like no other of his predecessor would be a Prsident without being d President. If Tompolo and his ilkes can hold d almighty FG to ransome how much more "Godfather Jonathan"

To before warned is to be wise. They say a word is good for d wise.

Soludo that could not qualify for APGA contender in a Gubernatorial primary, na im go come win presidency? @OP don't tell me u don smoke igbo dis morning.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is it Dangote that would create d subsidiary industries which in most cases should be privately-driven. And how come d private sector did not take advantage of Warri, PH & Kaduna refinery. Abeg leave matter.

The man listing all d benefits of a rifinery, has d refinaries in PH, Warri and Kaduna contributed 1 / 10th of what u listed above in their immediate enviroment? We Nigerians are very good theorist, we sabi book too much. When it comes to implementation na zilch or zero.

The original poster is right, Mimiko has let us down as SWesterners considering amongst all d odua states he gets d highest allocation. The Governor in Ogun State commissioned a fly over in Abeokuta bearly less than 18 months as a Governor and has pencelled another 4 fly overs to built in various places in Ogun State. What has Mimiko done with d huge allocation he received nothing.

It is a shame ACN loss Ondo State.

Kwankwoso threatens to join APC. This is looking like a very-very Civilian Coup.

PDP is stronger than all other tribal political parties put together

Which of the PDPs?? Jonathan's PDP or Atiku's PDP

Looks like Baba Iyabo has pulled out a civilian coup de ta by encouraging his Northern candidate and protégée Sule Lamido and his co-patriots to form a parallel PDP party effectively decimating the largest party in Africa into two factions and in so doing creating a 3rd political force ab initio henceforth.

The dark, unsavoury act of military adventurism into the political fields has being civilianised, while not disputing every Nigerian's indelible right to free association. Baba Iyabo has finally given Jonathan Goodluck's old PDP the final death blow and going by any common-sense if that word is still a valid word in Nigeria, Messer's Jonathan's PDP has no chance in hell of winning a free and fair election in 2015 especially if the renegade PDP combines forces with APC.

We shall see how GEJ unhook himself from this quagmire of deceit and treachery, looks like the knife has been stuck-in too deep.

Seven Governors leave PDP, Oyinlola Whoever mentioned Oyinlola's name must be a dimwit, as it were Oyinlola would not win an election in an electorial booth in front of his house in his home town let alone being an asset to any new party. Oyinlola is -1(minus 1)

I hope Goverment magic would not happen in d final tally.

Malam wakama ibrahim is a true son of d soil of d Obahiagbon school of thought. The regime is a spasmodic twitches of a dying regime............... classic obahiagbon. Na u win

Let us assume all commissioners and Special Assistants are on a modest 100,000 a month(we all know commisioners are on more)

100,000 X 12= making an annual salary of 1.2 million a year. Bear in mind some Governors has as many as 900 aides, i think Bauchi state has 900.

I would go for d conservative figure of 500 for Imo State

So 500 X 1.2 million = 520 million a year. This is a conservative estimate bearing in mind commissioners and some Senior Special Assistant & S.A would be on more than this figure. The realistic total annual billing would be around d 1 billion mark. So ladies & Gentlmen do d maths, for every month u don't have a routine of these aided how much are u saving. Also The DG's in d ministries can do d work of commissioners. So it makes sense.

I sense APC collabo here, Aregbesola informing Rochas how much he could saving if does d same. Considering Oshun State has one of d lowest allocation.

" Ayo nin pa yan " - English translation - too much jollofing na im dey kill person- Mr Suntai used d money entrusted in him to buy a small plane which he use to gallivant around to d detriment of d down & trodden. The fact is Suntai is equivalent to d rich man in d bible that landed in hell, who after feeling d intense heat that was choking him to eternity begged Jesus to send his servant who was in heaven to dip his finger in water and put it his mouth. Jesus said sorry mate judgement has been passed on u, deal with it. Suntai is suffering from his sins, he is irredeemable.

To start with, u must give your life to christ as a born again to recive salvation and healing. Suntai at d moment cannot recognise anyone let alone Jesus Christ. Unfortunately like d rich man he is damned.

May be Gov. Suntai shud addrz d public den we wud knw may b he de sound or sand

There is a difference between having a sound mind and addressing the public.The Governor could have a speech impediment due to the accident he had, but that does not disqualify him from running his state if he is of sound mind. Our Constitution is silent where sound mind is concerned v capable of delivering a speech.

There are legal loop holes in this case a smart lawyer can easily exploit.

Abeg make una leave Suntai. At least he is not brain dead and our constitution is silent on brain-active but physically challenged individuals.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjBIsp8mS-c

If the Governor of Taraba State is of sound mind but physically challenged, what is our constitution's position to this salient point, or is our constitution silent to such predicament. After all one can be physically indisposed and yet have a more sound mind than many of us who can run 100 meters in sub 10 seconds.
How many of us is as smart as this Professor?

During d first 4 years of our new democratic experience and I am talking between d periods of 1999 to 2003. There was significant impeachment in d State Houses of Assembly. But of late it would appear as if or it is either we have matured as a democratic nation or d Executive arm of Goverment have discovered and perfected d act of taming d legislatures.

Today our State House of Assemblies have become a junior appendage to d Executive, d Governorsvof Today can commit d most obsene sin in d full view of all are asunder and still get out of jail. They are now a mini-gods in their domain. Or how else do one explain d maladministration taken place in Taraba State. Have our legislators lost their minds. I thought d minimum qualification for one to be a legislator, was one has to be a school cert graduate and even at that those in Taraba State are behaving like primary 6 graduate, let alone secondary school graduates. If d truth be told I know majority of those in d house are probably University Graduates thereby making them even over qualified for d job in d first place, yet this injustice is going on b4 their very noses.

We are surely idioooots ruled by fooools just quoting Pastor Bakare. Haba surely, d beautiful ones are not yet born in Nigeria. Can someone please come to their senses in Taraba State, even though common-sense is said to be scarce and rare in Nigeria, I never knew it was this bad.!!!!!!!

The good thing about Eko Atlantic City is, it does not have to be built going by Nigeria standard and way of conducting business. Normally such collosol amount spent on this dearing project would have being comfortable lodge in someone's account with nothing to show, d typical Naija way of doing things but d rulers, adminitrators, and those in charge of the purse of this illustrious state thought otherwise and give back to the state what Nigeria as a whole lacks. This singular act i must confess is highly commendable.

Today Our brothers in Anambra state are celebrating d wonderful shopping mall built by their Governor in Abuja, a mall that does not belong to d state, only God knows who the owners are, yet there is no commeserable mall like d one built in a hurry in Abuja anywhere in Anambra State.

Or is it our Nassarawa state Governor who spent an unbeleivable 1.5 billion on his sons wedding yet nothing on d ground to show there is any goverment in d state. This same man could not build a 20 million borehole in d state university. Let us give kudos to those in Lagos.

that's why no one wants to be a deputy-Gov, the job is worse than that of a house-boy!

Soludo as deputy Governor to Ngige in APC?

LOL = Loads of Laugh!

Soludo is better off taking up a job as Economics lecturer at UNN than do that nonsense

Ngige and APC will never win this election in Anambra

We are disappointed at Soludo's plight but to suggest Ngige is the alternative is ridiculous!

Anyway November is a couple of months away!

The problem with Naija Politics is everyone wants to be Cowboys no-one wants to be indians, we must learn to serve and be subservient to others if we want others to serve us. As it stands Obi has being and he is still subservient to Jonathan and APGA Party hierachy that is why he can easily play Soludo into submission.

[size=16pt]Anambrians and Anambra State can still win this battle of selecting the right guys for the job, Ngige and Soludo as it stands controls 3/4 of all votes in Anambra State. The solution is simple, Soludo should join APC, run as Ngige's loyal Deputy for 8 Years thereby and thereafter Ngige pass the baton to Soludo who will in turn run for another 8 years.

That way Anambra would be the winner because they would have grabbed, harnessed and more or less quarantined the best candidate in Anambra Politics for a good 16 years, reminiscent of the Tinubu / Fashola Monopoly of power in Lagos which has today not only being beneficial to Lagosians in general but has made Lagos and Lagos state at large the envy of all asunder, Lagos today is a city to behold.

Lagos State today, is racing towards being a 1st class city state with Eko Atlantic City and the new Rail-Lines coming up stream, that kind of development can repeat and even magnify herself in the SE going by the industrious and boisterous nature of the Igbo's if the right men are elected, chosen and decide to work together for the good of their people and the state. This is one significant food for thought for all Anambrians and the aforementioned Politicians. [/size]
