Politics / Re: Rejection Of NGF Results Bad Omen For 2015, Says ACN by koruji(m): 4:16am On May 27, 2013 |
Read this part to see the sillyness of GEJ & cohorts: The ACN has called for a probe of the apparently forged document being circulated by the losing governors to show they had harvested the signatures of 18 governors pushing for a consensus candidate just before the elections. Animal Farm Reading of the Day: The day comes when all the animals will gather in the big barn to vote on whether or not the windmill will be built. The farm is divided into two factions at this stage, the “Vote for Snowball and the three-day week” faction, and the “Vote for Napoleon and the full manger” faction. Snowball has convinced his faction that the windmill will lead to increased leisure time for everybody, while Napoleon has convinced his faction that the distraction of the windmill will cause the animals to lose time on the harvest and starve. 1 Like |

Nobody is denying that he has a Yoruba name - but that is the same as saying he is a human being, it is of no relevance. His Yoruba name has no connection to his actions. Unfortunately, that is the connection being established by labeling him a "Nigerian Terrorist". It was okay when they identified him as a "British of Nigerian Descent" - that would make him a "British Terrorist of Nigerian Descent" at the most. Not a "Nigerian Terrorist" !!! Why don't they claim him too? Or do you hear talk about the "Nigerian Athlete" who won the gold medal, when actual Nigerians win medals for Britain. Balance seems to elude us in this kind of discussions. Nigerian-Descent doesn't make Nigerian. Obama is of Kenyan-American descent, but that doesn't make him Kenyan - but pure American. [size=14pt]The difference here is that one imbibed an ideology of togetherness that made him the most powerful leader in the world. The other imbibed an ideology of hate and revenge which turned him into a sick animal-in-human-form committing a crime that his shadow would run from in horror - if it could.[/size] Ricky_Ross: We Nigerians must stop deceiving ourselves.

Please stop jumping around. The statement was that this was an achievement all previous Nigerian rulers could not attain. I simply pointed the falsity of such ignorant talk. I believe GEJ did not give his talk to show his displeasure over something. Perhaps he got word that the AU was going to endorse another country for the seat, and called their bluff. To which I say well-done to him. However, this does not make this some high level achievement as my post pointed out. Alxmyr: 1 Like |

Stop, right there. It doesn't matter what you eat - when we talk about your nationality, it is the one that you actually belong to. There is no Nigerian Terrorist here - that is not to deny that he is of Nigerian descent, but he is not a "Nigerian Terrorist". That is just the glib talk the media would like you to buy into. He is British - if you must identify his nationality, then he is a British Terrorist. The real issue is that these days, nationality, name or even religion is beginning to matter less and less. The common element is an ideology of hate and revenge. Admittedly, some religions are more likely to lead a person down this path than others in this age, but there are also many peace-lovers from the same religion.

Politics / Re: Which Governors Turned Against GEJ's Candidate At The NGF by koruji(m): 5:53pm On May 26, 2013 |
Excuses, excuses, excuses. You need to go learn your history. OBJ gave the NGF the power it currently has because he saw it as a forum to choose the next president and VP. That my friend, is the story of how Yar'adua and GEJ got to the presidency. It is really funny and traitorous for GEJ to now want to destroy the same forum. Particularly, after signing a one-term agreement with the north. [size=14pt]I wish the northerners will do away with all threat of violence (it would only end up consuming them and play into the hands of GEJ) They should concentrate on a strategy to make sure GEJ loses at the ballot box. As well as find the best combination of political alliance that will bring quick development to their region.[/size] In reality, I think GEJ knows he "must" fulfil the terms of the one-term letter he signed but he would like to choose the next president and VP, just like OBJ. He has probably promised the VP slot to Akpabio. But he is really fooling himself because just like he and Yar'adua treated OBJ after getting into Aso Rock he may be in for the shocker of his life after 2015. deletrue: Bros. If you could remember, before the election that brought jona to power, Ameachi was hell bent on jona down fall. i also worked in river state. No day passes without Ameachi attacking both jona and his wife just as Pastor Bakare was to jona. Because rivers and bayelsa shares boundary, jona was always appealing to Ameachi through all ealders etc. Now another round is here, Ameachi, this time, decided to give their oil rich state to the north. Am not tribal. Must jona continue to appeal to Ameachi? 1 Like |

There is no need for this Nigerians again or the need to hack them the way they hacked the British soldier. You could have said muslims again, blacks again, etc - but what would you say about the fact that they were formerly christians and think Afghanistan and Iraq are "their" lands? That is how Mutallab was trying to defend the land of muslims in Sudan forgetting that when you actually look at the politics of it, it was a war between Arabs (who claimed to be muslims) and native blacks of Sudan (with large christian and muslim populations) - Mutallab is black and if he were to be born in South Sudan he would be fighting against "muslims". What would you about Americans both pure and of foreign descent that have become the most hardcore al qaeda participants? What the world is dealing with is the rise of a phenomenon of animals-in-human forms that use whatever cover to perpetrate their evil deeds. These two are less than human as far as I am concerned. I do not care if their low IQs or hooliganism or lack of parenting, etc. started them on this path. When they became adults they adhered to an ideology of hate, and lost their humanity.

Politics / Re: Jang Holds Inaugural Meeting As NGF Chairman - Newsexpress by koruji(m): 3:16pm On May 26, 2013 |
Plain silliness. rhymz: Yoruba votes helped GEJ win which election? Why are Yoruba people so full of themselves and have this overbloated sense of political importance. Don't think because the SW controls the media, you can ram down outright lies down our throats as facts. If anything, the SW region was demystified by GEJ's election victory, he proved to them that with or with a total support from them, so long as he had the backings of the entire eastern region, the SW can either tag along or stay in opposition raanting while he, Jonathan wins that election. The SW showed its political strength and influence by putting in a total of 2.8 million votes, Lagos accounting for about 45% of the votes. Knowing how the population of Lagos is constituted it will be folly to attribute JEG's heavy victory there to the Yoruba people. Now facing the core Yoruba states, by calculations, their votes number was inconsequential to influence anything even though just like every other states the Presidency needed at least 25% votes from every state. 2 Likes |

You don't think GEJ is vindictive even as he went after Amaechi's jet and raised Akpabio to counter him. Soft landing for Amaechi? GEJ needs to find soft landing for himself !!! pro01: Ameachi is now like an emperor without robes, living in fools paradise, with his head stuck in the clouds. It is never to late to stop being foolish. If he has any sense or shame left, he would resign his discredited NGF chairmanship immediately and retire quietly to Rivers State. I don't think Jonathan is the vindictive type (unfortunately!), so I reckon he might graciously grant Amaechi a soft landing if he demonstrates genuine penitence. |
Politics / Re: Rivers State PDP Congratulate Jang...says Amaechi Didnt Win NGF Chairmanship by koruji(m): 2:51pm On May 26, 2013 |
You got it wrong. The election was perfect. What was wrong is forcing governors ro reveal how they "must" vote beforehand. This is what GEJ did to win the PDP primaries in 2011, but nobody is scared of him anymore. helpee: the point is this: some govenors supposedly voted for amaechi but they are not man enough to defend their vote but rather chose to queue up behind jang. What does that tell u? The election is not free and fair. Any vote that cant be defended is not worth casting in the first place so we can say that the govermors didnt vote freely cos amaechi decided to intimidate them by presiding ova his own election |

Okay, people. 3 governors that signed the "Akpabio" resolution for Jang voted against him. I think the following three voted against Jang: 1. Jonah Jang (Plateau - PDP Party 2. 3. Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe - ANPP Party now APC) Here is my logic: Jonah Jang: The man was said to have rejected being picked to replace the withdrawing two northern governors because of his age. He was forced to pick the form for the election only 1 hour before it happened. I think he wanted no part of GEJ's war with the NGF and decided to torpedo his own election. [s]Olusegun Mimiko: Was put in exactly the same position as Jonah Jang, and followed the same path. I believe these two probably had a conversation where they decided to be no part of the NGF wars.[/s] Ibrahim Shema: Probably felt that the only reason both were asked to withdraw was to prevent him from winning - this will agree with brixton's suggestion above. Notice how he is the only one to not include his state in the document below (he probably provided only what was necessary because he could care less). Ibrahim Geidam: This governor just found out that GEJ deceived them when he declared the state of emergency by pretending that they will continue to fulfill their "constitutional duties" - only to find out that all they will be able to do is collect their salary. He is also part of the ANPP/APC alliance. [size=14pt]All in all, since GEJ refused to acknowledge signing a one-term agreement with the northern politicians the signatures in the letter below are also null and void. They did him a big favor by not making all northern governors vote against Jonah Jang. It is a warning shot for 2015.[/size] If you do not see my logic, notice that the person behind the withdrawal of the two northern governors and drafting of Jang was Aliyu - the man who first revealed to us and promised to publish the agreement GEJ signed promising to go for only one term. Okay let's hear more suggestions !!! 1 Like |

You know the answer to that. He is all up in arms whenever there is politics involved, and slow to react to the people's needs. There are rules of governance that are sacrosanct: [size=14pt]security, security, security[/size]. You cannot trade insecurity of the life of citizens for efforts on power, it doesn't work that way. That is what makes you look weak. You cannot openly subvert processes and institutions that assert their rights because you feel threatened politically. You cannot openly cuddle former militants, assigning them large national resources and responsibilities - such as patrolling the coast. Any wise person should know that empowering such people is dangerous as they will turn on even you when it is convenient for them...etc. Doing these things make you look like a dictator, not a strong leader. A strong leader is one who leads his people with passion for their betterment in all ramifications, not one that is focused on the spoils and tenure of office at all costs. pro01: |
