ISpiksDaTroof:
That's the trick. If GEJ "wins" in 2015, he will ask for an extension when his term is almost over in 2019, then before you know it GEJ is Nigeria's first life President. That has been the aim from day one.

The Buhari's regime according to African Human Right Records curtailed press freedom and imposed a blanket ban on political activities, which was later extended to include a ban on debates on the political future of the country.

Better vote GEJ and still have the freedom to criticise him than experiment on Buhari

But in all honesty Hijad is a fashion in its class except the anonymity.

After all the lies APC told us and the Media packaging companies efforts

The Result was 16 - 0

See one of the media defamation below

OAM4J is of ACN/APC persuasion

Enough of this claim of neutrality. Not having a party card doesn't make you apolitical

The truth as we speak is that OAM4J is anti PDP

Even with the comment below the signs are all there for all to note

OAM4J:
Will you then prefer Bode George indirect rule?

Until we have a better alternative to AC.N we will insist AC.N should present a candidate we can trust. No to PDP.

The OP is only having fun though. Even Asiwaju himself will laugh at the joke.

Ask Ngwakwe to use his influence to remove these absurdities posted by Chino etal in this thread.

I saw when he was asking Chino to name his price and before I know what was happening all anti Imo State threads disappeared.

donphilopus:
If you can contribute intelligently like me on Nairaland, you'll be celebrated by the entire people in your village. You probably think I wanna exchange words with you?! No, I would never cos you beneath me!

Your are chronic Igbophobic to the core

Go through your posts to confirm or continue leaving in denial.

Your obsessions, frustrations and disappointments are not Igbo made. If you were molested by some Igbo guys, I apologise but we are not all bad, in case my postulation is correct

donphilopus:
Tribalists have not yet invaded this thread. But, if it had happened in the other part of the country, the tribalists from across the Niger would have invaded here!

You are too frustrated and insecure hence your Igbophobia is too glaring.

Get lost mr man and do something better with your life than only surfacing on South East related threads to inject your venoms while still on Sabbatical leave on intellectually oriented threads requiring analytical reasoning

NgeneUkwenu:
The rants of a jonathanian's infected brain! Shameless and robotic nematode!

Shame no dey catch you?

The feeling and overwhelming insecurity that led you to open this thread is nothing but suicidal .

It must be too cold out there for you and anything you represent.

Get lost shameless man

Agadi na agwo ofe.

Whether you are Igbo or not doesn't matter.

As far as your person is concerned in this social circle called Nairaland. Ndigbo have ostracised, excommunicated and dis-inherited you.

Last warning; Stop associating yourself with Igbo nomenclatures.

Ndigbo erie nsi, ne ka Ngwere buru onwe Ya kuo na ana ma nekwe n'isi.

Cleverly, Tinubu o'kwu go gi riaria nke September?

I heard your job is getting boring as a result of your counterproductive style of presentation and total tactless and less convincing debate skills

Ndoo

ProfCorruption: I think the OP should be banned for breaking rule 14 (creation of multiple threads on the same topic) and this thread should be locked ASAP.
It is high time we started enforcing the rules on Nairaland.

He created the same thread at 6:39pm on September 13, 2014.

Sensing that the tide was not in his favor, he abandoned it for a completely new thread at 2:37am today.

Ngwakwe is a bigot and does not deserve to be a mod in the first place. Partisanship is one thing, bigotry is another. There's nothing bad if a mod is pro-PDP or pro-APC as long as the rules are obeyed. But we should all endeavor to reduce bigotry on Nairaland.

Can you help this community prove this your allegations? It will be callous and shameful of you if you fail to do so.

It is only in Nairaland that anybody comes up with ridiculous and baseless allegations borne out of resentment without proof and receives a like. Intelligent people quote references to backup their words. Can we search his comments to find something to crucify him instead of these blanket and irrelevant accusations.

The National Conference is set for a stormy session, Thursday, as northern delegates officially wrote the confab leadership to dissociate themselves from the draft constitution proposed by the conference leadership.

The letter comes as the confab chairman, Idris Kutigi, on Wednesday defended the draft constitution, and made efforts to mend fences and resolve the controversy.
In order to try to placate the delegates and achieve a common ground, Mr. Kutigi also announced that proceedings at the National Conference had been postponed till Thursday.

He said the postponement is to allow the leadership meet with zonal leaders.
Mr. Kutigi said the adjournment was necessitated on the need to fast track the process of final approval of the draft resolution of the confab and other documents such as the new draft constitution and a bill to introduce it to the National Assembly.

Delegates from the 19 northern states had on Tuesday accused the confab leadership of introducing a third term agenda for elected officials by introducing a new constitution.

They alleged that drafting a new constitution and a bill to the National Assembly was not part of the agenda of the confab, and that it was never approved.

On Wednesday, Mr. Kutigi explained the situation saying the copy labeled “draft constitution” contains various alterations and amendments to the 1999 Constitution “proposed by you ( the delegates).”

He assured delegates of the inviolability of the draft resolutions; adding: “If there are any errors, they are human errors and not an attempt by the leadership to any play game.”

He further stated that the draft reports of the Conference prepared by the Secretariat were done “to the best of our ability and with all honesty and diligence.”

He said as humans, there could be noticeable errors that would be corrected if brought to the attention of the secretariat.

“Any mistake is due to human error and can be corrected,” he said.
‎
The chairman said in line with the resolution of the Conference, the reports were prepared to cover constitutional issues based on amendments agreed upon by the delegates; policy issues meant for implementation by the President; and legislative issues earmarked for enactment into laws by the National Assembly.

He also spelt out the procedure to be adopted by the Conference for consideration and approval of the different reports.

He said after considering several options towards resolving issues emanating from the reports within the shortest possible time and without problems, the leadership came to the conclusion that the smooth but detailed method adopted in handling committees’ reports be applied.

Mr. Kutigi said all groups and individuals should study the report, diligently write out areas that need to be corrected and submit them to the Conference Secretariat for compilation and presentation to the Conference when delegates reconvene on Thursday.

The Chairman said when such comments are compiled, they would be read out on the floor and would either be adopted or rejected by the Conference in plenary for final adoption of the report.

In a statement, the confab spokesperson, James Akpandem, stated that in order to further enhance and smoothen the process of approving the draft report prepared by the Secretariat, the Chairman summoned a meeting of leaders of delegation from the geo-political zones to discuss certain critical issues.

Mr. Akpandem said both proposals were unanimously accepted by the Conference in plenary without any objection while delegates agreed to meet again on Thursday to practically begin the process of approving the reports.

Mr. Akpandem said during separate meetings with the leaders of the northern and southern delegation, the Conference management was severally commended for producing a magnificent report within a short space of time.

Before adjourning the session, Mr. Kutigi announced the presence of a new delegate, Supo Shonibare, who replaced Olaniwun Ajayi from the South West; and the death of Mohammed Nur Alkali.

Northern delegates kick
Meanwhile, northern delegates, NDF, reiterated their objection to the emergence of a new constitution by writing an open letter to Mr. Kutigi threatening to disown the report of the conference.
The letter, jointly signed by the NDF, co-chairmen, Ibrahim Coomassie and Jeremiah Useni informed Mr. Kutigi that they have never been part of any process to draft a new constitution.
“We hereby categorically state that our members are not party or privy to any decision and certainly did not participate in any processes or proceedings to draft a constitution or Bills. Quite on the contrary, we have, in no uncertain terms, expressed our objections to any such project under any guise,” they said

They also said they were unaware that the Conference, whether at plenary or committee stages of its work, took a decision to draw up a draft constitution, authorized or tasked any of its Committees, delegates or the Conference Secretariat.

“In view of this, we hereby dissociate ourselves from and totally reject the Draft Constitution already circulated. Furthermore we wish to formally notify you that our members condemn the brazen attempt by the Leadership of the Conference to impose on us a Draft Constitution whose ownership and knowledge the leadership has denied and which is not attributed to any person.

“It is a document whose authorship we absolutely have no hand in. In our view, the draft constitution circulated is a document of dubious and questionable origins.
“By our assessment, the content of the Draft Constitution is replete with extraneous matters and issues that bear no relations to the resolutions adopted by Conference and many of which are at variance or in conflict with Conference resolution or in respect of which no decision has been taken.

“For sample particulars of some extraneous issues, Inconsistencies and unsubstantiated inclusions and exclusions contained in the Draft Constitution refer to Sections 2(A) at page 12; 8(1) (h), 8 (2) a – h at page 15; new section 9(2) a – c at page 19; new section 162(1A) and 5(A) at page 143; and the deletion of section 315 at page 266. These various provisions pertain to issues of State Constitution, boundary adjustment, referendum to adopt Constitution, funding for Local Government Areas, and deletion of Land Use Act and the abrogation of
all existing laws, which the section has entrenched and saved respectively,” they said.

The NDF said having been established by executive fiat, the Conference lacks the necessary democratic credential, legitimacy or legal or constitutional basis or mandate to assume the exercise of the sovereign will of the people or purport to behave as a Constituent Assembly.

“It is incontrovertible that the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 contains, very clear provisions, under section 9, and has spelt out explicit rules to govern specific steps to follow to alter its provisions, including the adoption of an entirely new Constitution if deemed desirable.

“The procedure for any alteration does not envisage or recognize “referendum” as a mechanism for bringing about any change to the existing Constitution or the adoption of a new on,” NDF said.

They also argued that for any alteration to the constitution to be legitimate or credible, it must be validated by the concurrent adoption of the National Assembly and the resolution in support of 2/3 (24) of the Houses of Assembly of the States where this is assented to by the President.

“It would be a ridiculous perversion of all known constitutional and legal norms for the Conference to purport to consider or adopt the Draft Constitution without being clothed with necessary mandate and in total disregard or violation of the existing legal and constitutional order.

“It excites our curiosity to wonder why anybody would seek to adopt a purported Constitution whose effective date is 2014 during the currency of incumbent elected officials in clear violation of the existing constitution under which they have been elected and which they have sworn to abide by, uphold, and defend This would amount to a blatant subversion of the existing constitutional and legal order.

“As proposed, the draft Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2014 has negated or preempted and dispensed with all due processes related to, for instance, the creation of new States by inserting those proposed without meeting any of the objective criteria set by conference and in the absence of proper boundary demarcation and/or obtaining the consent of affected communities. This is without prejudice to acknowledging the fact that Conference has adopted resolutions for the creation of the named States, which we support in principle,” NDF said.

The NDF asked the leadership of the Conference to disregard and withdraw the Draft Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2014 and the accompanying Bills, which have been circulated.

They also urged the Conference leadership to table the Draft Conference Report which contains only the resolutions openly and officially sanctioned and adopted by delegates for validation and adoption as provided for under the National Conference Procedure Rules, 2014 and as envisaged in the Work Plan adopted.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be a party to the adoption of the report or any part thereof by voice vote. We urge the leadership of the Conference to be strictly guided by the Conference Procedure Rules, 2014,” they said.

Abagworo: Unfortunately the allegation is true.

You remind me of his exploits in buying gullible politicians with money and intimidating and turning the Imo State Legislative Arm of Government into Rubber Stamp

Journalists should stop distorting reports to drive home an opinionated reportage.

An Institution of the government should be allowed to make contextual statements in defence of a bill without being misinterpreted.

EFCC ‘Not Broke,’ EFCC Now Says

Dec, 18 2013, 1:12PM — siteadmin

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied newspaper reports that it is broke and has less than N2million in its corporate coffers.

In a statement, the EFCC described the comment, reportedly made by the Secretary to the Commission, Mr Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo, when he led a delegation to the public hearing by the Senate Committee on Drugs, Narcotics and Financial Crimes on the Bill to establish the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Agency, as a gross misrepresentation of what actually
transpired.

“The mention of N2million by Aremo was
not in respect of the total financial
health of the EFCC, but a direct response to a remark by the Chair of the Committee, Senator Victor Lar, to the effect that his committee had observed during an oversight visit to the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit, NFIU that it has no power generating set while its ceiling had caved in,” the statement said.

It added that Mr. Aremo remarked that the Commission had complained to the Committee during the visit on the state of its finances and that the situation has not improved.

“The comment has no bearing whatsoever
on the operations of the Commission,”
the statement concluded.

Just Breaking. Aljazeera English - details soon

Egyptian interim Government has just designated Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Organisation.

What do you think, should GEJ follow suit and declare APC terrorist organisation come January 1, 2014 for condemning the State of Emergency and indirect support of Boko Haram?

^^^^^
It's just getting pathetic as the day goes by as someone clearly summarises their mentality and purpose below.

There is a cultural angle to this madness. More than any group, the SW seem to think that they are culturally superior to everybody else.

They fact that feudalism, a core aspect of their cultural outlook belongs to the days of ovaranwem seem to easily elude them. And so they think that the igbos have no culture because unlike them, igbos dont roll in the mud when they want to say "good morning" to their fathers.., they must be waking their old ones with "sliding tackles'".. Other peoples cultural symbols and leaders are mercilessly attacked while everything done in Yorubaland is seen as the best.

As the hollow attempt at cultural chauvinism progresses, a laughable attempt to sound intellectually superior is vigorously pursued even when facts are in short shrift..

When they tell you they play "sophisticated politics", what they actually mean is that they are they best strategist in the country.., pray tell me; how can you boldly and proudly lay claim to sophistication in politics when all you do when you are not in opposition is to position yourself actively, intellectually and strategically to grab the biggest crumbs from the fulani sickening table?

How does sucking furiously from the hausa fulani behind make one a sophisticated being? bunch of clowns

Orlando Owoh: Your understanding of politics is shallow, archaic and primitive. Come out of your cocoon.
About 200,000 out of more than a million "(s)elected" Willie Obiano and you are happy.

There are new sheriffs in South East who won’t be intimidated and are willing to fight this Wild West of neocolonialism . Their names include Peter Obi, Willie Obiano etc.

In politics, there are four levels of response to
political insurgency: Ignore, ridicule, savage,
accept. We were at Stage Two, have just moved toward
-Stage Three

Proceed to the court with your principal and stop bordering this community with your extreme frustration.

FreeGlobe: I get angry when jokers like you say Anambra people have made their decision is an obviously flawed election where less than 20% registered voters "voted". Abuja/Inec/Peter Obi has made their decision. yes!

S[he] was the almighty AtlanticBreeze. Very good at what s[he] believes in.

gleaf: FRREGLOBE SO YOU ARE STILL ALIVE !!!!! WHAT HAPPEND? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? LOL.... YOU HAVE STARTED YOUR RUMOUR MONGERING AGAIN...LOL TOTAL LOSER

Stop being obnoxious and face the political reality on ground.

The Anambrarians have made their decision and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it.

AD fought in the NASS to defend against OBJ's impeachment and went on to adopt him as AD's Presidential candidates in 2003. If Obi made that speech he may be preempting the political challenge facing the Eastern Region come 2015

FreeGlobe: ^
Shameless crook. This is how APGA is an igbo party! Fools

Why must Saharareporters learn and accept lies from lying sources.

Concorde Hotel is exclusive property of Imo State government and has not been sold.

SaharaReporters has learned that

According to our EFCC sources, Justice Iheme-Nwosu has accumulated so much unexplained wealth that she was able to buy the Concorde Hotel in Owerri, the Imo State capital

You have just proved my point. They are readily available to follow up any storyline that will spite GEJ, PDP and Easterners while readily available to singing praises of any dissident from the same camp and label them progressives.

The S/W based media sites will flash the news of a crime committed by their people, if possible take them down as punch did to the one you quoted after 30mins without allowing comments.

An allegation or a petition mostly against Easterners are published and followed up while inciting the mass with deliberate lies and half truth in order to lynch him/her by court of public opinion.

The S/W media houses have been heavily compromised and now serve as political/ethnocentric jobbies with a clear mandate to bring down any rising star from opposing camp.

Yeah like these guys in the above link, they stole billions until finally the EFCC just lock them up but nobody cares about this story! I wonder why

When I affirmed that the said insanity was a fluke and cover up by State-house Doctors to inflict more harm to Mrs Chime using unregulated injections to cause instability to her health some acclaimed local champions where here talking of gold digging and some irrelevant defamation to her womanhood.

Welcome to freedom and enjoy your liberty to the full. Remember to go back to take the custody of your four year old boy.

[quote author=tpia@]Wait, that wasnt his reason for sending her to her parents though.[/quote]You failed to read the lead story accompanying the thread.

See the extract and note the emphasis in the bold statement.

The governor’s action followed a marathon meeting the governor held with Clara’s Igwe family, during which the governor decided to let her leave the government house.

However, insiders say Mrs. Chime said she would prefer to travel out, preferably to the United Kingdom, to take care of herself and then be allowed to return to her matrimonial home upon completion of her trip.

Sources at the meeting said the governor turned down that offer, instead telling the First Lady to pack out immediately.

Your sentiment resembles that of a vindictive looser with reservoir of malice.

Be realistic and frantic with your critique.

Haba, GEJ's regime isn't that bad when compared with previous governments though we deserve better than what he's offering.

bloggernaija: Ordinary thieving Abacha did better.

Can you imagine the reason stated for sending Mrs Chime to her paternal home is her request for total rehabilitation overseas?

Gov. Chime is trying to intimidate her into succumbing to his tricks.

Insanity my foot.

[quote author=tpia@]anyone who knows what's actually going on, should please update the public.

or is this a typical marital conflict scenario where various stories keep flying around and its all he said she said, thus making a mockery of the hearers.

Seems no one is even sure whats happening, the only person who is directing matters is the wife in question, the governor himself seems at odds on what exactly to do.

If this is a case of mental instability then of course the lady should be attended to by a team of doctors. Either at home or in the hospital, doesnt matter.

maybe this will lead to increased funding for the mental health field in nigeria, people have been mentioning the challenges for long.[/quote]

Is this publication an after thought, a gossip or village square deliberations?

Totally incomprehensible and unconvincing to say the least. I took time to put the clauses together in a bid to come up with a comprehensive message to no avail.

Waiting to hear Mrs Patience Jonathan's side of the story to see what & where Gov. Amaechi was driving to before I can conclude on what actually transpired.

Politicians are master dribblers believe them to your peril.
