Monogamy:
The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Adamu Mu’azu, has charged members of the party nationwide to ensure that it wins 24 states in the April 11 governorship elections.
In a statement on Saturday, Mr. Mu’azu listed the states the party must win to include Lagos, Rivers and Imo whose governorship candidates he described as “first class materials.”

MalcoImX:
I don't agree with most of you. It is better to cut a deal and let her stay in the country. At least a lot of the money stays here, and the ones outside will be brought in. It will not be good for GMB if people start running out. And in any case, how many will have to run out. There's a Hausa saying (Gaba tafi baya), which GMB himself acknowledges will be a guiding principle in this regard. When translated, it amounts to something like: There are more days ahead than what has passed.

Emmaowolabia:
Is time to really know who wears pampers between buhari and fayose. When baba said he will soon write another apology letter, he thought it was a joke because Jonathan was in control now he is on his own. No witch hunting but certainly 16 cant be greater than 19 under buhari's watch when he doesn't drink ogogoro like the other man, and i also know that the issue of ekiti gate will not go under the carpet like farouk otedola, oduah etc cases.

kastonkastrol:
trust me fayose, if you really worked hand in hand with koro, jonathan and others to rig the ekiti election in your favour, then you must be impeached when the evidence is brought before the high court. Nonsense. Two months ago you were acting like a god over your people, but now that jonathan is going, you wanna act all innocent. SMH


Modified*

Infact fayose must be impeached, legally or illegally. There shouldn't be any room for PDP in the entire odualand

VolvoS60:


I wonder if the locals would have been so quick to make off with the livestock if it were Fulani cattle herders - the notoriously violent ones to be specific. They often travel with firearms (illegally acquired) and they are definitely not a soft target.

For those in the insurance industry - is there any kind of insurance cover for merchandise in transit on Nigerian roads, and what are the subscription rates? Do these traders take out such policies?

Normality:
We are going to burn this zoo down, without the help of US, UK, Russia and their terrorist brothers from Egypt, let is see how you will survive this onslaught about to take place. We will burn all ye monkeys and baboons down in this zoo.

Army of Biafra is not here for negotiations or peace, no round table talk with any terrorist, we are for war and we are about to give zoological republic the greatest beating of their life.

88 countries and counting we are united as a family, Indigenous people of Biafra IPOB.

Zoological republic will see war and beg for mercy, we will establish our sovereignty and independence the hard way, through the barrel of a gun.

Monkeys and baboons in world super power federal republic of zoo be afraid.
The show down will be a time of reckoning, UN will negotiate on your behalf but no mercy.

without external help NA is useless and full of cowards. Tell them to get ready, any foreign country help you we kill them in the battle field and tell you to invite more.

I am not whispering this, with just one command the whole world will quake at the terror we will unleash on this zoo.

You can tell this to Buhari. He knows that's why he sent them to bribe our director. hahahahah ndi ara, you will know why heroes fight like us.

Biafra is my land and we are gonna restore our lost glory by defeating and crushing this zoo to nothing

KwoiZabo:
If elections doesn't hold in rivers, then we will not allow Goodluck to hand over. Idiots
Amaechi goofed when he ganged up against his own brother, something Northerners cannot do or have you seen any Northerner viciously campaigning for Goodluck in Jigawa or Kano the way Amaechi campaign for Buhari in the South. I am a GEJ fan but as far as this elections is concerned Buhari's victory was a better option for the Country but I cannot support an arrogant idiot cow like Amaechi.

genearts:
Sentiments apart, i think its time to declare a state of emergency in Rivers state

bettercreature:
Ameachi should be very careful during this governorship election,I don't want him to lose his life rivers is too hot and he has sowe a lot which I want him to reap,at least he has many choices in Abuja,PDP killer machine is base in rivers people pls beware,mama piss will never allow rivers to fall because that's her next source of income

Eluwilussit:
Lastpage my man, thanks for your time. I wish we will meet someday. I am also glad to know that whatever most of the people say here, ends here. That being so, don't you think that it is hypocritical to assume that what the Igbos said about the Yorubas and Hausas on NL, is the true reflection of the totality of the SE? Why shouldn't it end here as well? Why castigate a whole tribe because of the actions of some on Nairaland? How many igbos are on NL?

I don't care whether the haters are igbos, Yorubas, Hausas, ibibios or Tivs, the bottom line is that[b] I personally, am tired of tribal comments and sentiments.[/b] I really hope most of the thrash I read here, ends here and are not the way we truly feel about one another.

datribune:
Facts will not cease to be facts because u want to ignore them. I listed facts. d demands by dis group shows how conscienceless, greedy & morally deficient some folks can be. People dat voted massively 4 d General ar not making demands but those who keep hating him even as we speak ar already making demands b4 his inauguration. Even on dis forum d hate by mostly igbo posters is palpable. U can literally feel it. GEJ failed in every aspect of leading our country but d bigots even though they admitted he disappointed kept up d support.
During OBJ's tenure his greatest critics were his kinsmen. When GEJ was denied his right which groups were in d forefront of ensuring he got what was rightly his?. Why would d igbo stick by someone who was a monumental failure. smh. Nigeria is not a tribe or religion but a country.

Hey...hey!!! Have you ever hear the saying that if you fight with a fool no one can tell the difference between you from afar?
PS: I am Igbo and you are embarrassing yourself

Eluwilussit:
I am not pained in anyway. That's why I also gave you this like. . What I hate is double standard. Hypocrisy. Unfortunately, a lot of people still think that the SE didn't vote for Buhari because of the civil war. Well, I don't know why everyone voted the way they did.

I only tried to point out what I see as double standard in most of the posts and comments. In the past, the SE always split their votes. They never bought into this block vote stuff. The truth is that before the emergence of pdp, there was never any party in the history of Nigeria that was so nationally embraced.

Do you by any means mean that the SE was wrong to have voted for Jonathan en mass in 2015 but were right in 2011, 2007, 2003 and 1999?

The SW stood by AD and whatever othe party it transformed into, until finally APC arrived. Did anyone call them tribalistic?
If pdp hadn't chosen Obasanjo, just to balance the injustice that was done to MKO, wouldn't the SW have come out empty in 1999-2007? The SW did not contribute anything to the emergence of Onasanjo. Yet they claim all the glory.

Today, there's no doubt that the SW played the most important role in the emergence of Buhari, but does that now make the SE poor strategists and enemies of the Nigerian State?

Enough of all these derogatory posts and comments. There's nothing wrong is backing jonathan. The north supported GMB in 03,07 and 2011 and he lost. No one singled the North out for criticism. No one should single the SE and SS out either. Everybody voted for different reasons but whether we like it or not, those reasons are basically the same across every region, tribe or religion.

ArodewilliamsT:
Yes you did, I'm a witness. Now how are your fulani and yoruba brother s in APC treating you now. I would like ApC to make Ngige, Rochas, irrelevant. So they can retrace their step and understand that APC is rabidly anti-Igbo. It vindicates people like us. APC must be made to remain a regional party. Nobody can say PDP is regional. That's the advantage PDP will have over APC in 4 years time.

Equalizer:
So no hope for minority to rule this country abi? let them Grant us Biafra Nation so that with our number, we can produce our own President..

GeneralShepherd:
You have three masters and still so foolish. This is an indictment on your professors. Anyway, I am sure you don't even have an OND but you can claim 3 msc in NL.

I'll allow you. Agbaya

GeneralShepherd:
Oga Lastpage, I want you to know very well that I am an atheist. I do not care about religion or tribe.

ArodewilliamsT:
I'm waiting for you and all your family members to become dollar millionaires under Buharis change regime. If he does not make every yorubas Billionaires and trillionaires then you are confirmed slaves.
We don't want to see beggars in Osun and Oyo. Buhari must change all that .
After four years we will take stock and[b] i as an Igboman will compare my standard of living with yours.[/b] God keep us alive.

hush15:
Atimes, I read nairalanders post and I shake my head in dismay, seeing shallowness in human thoughts and reasoning

We all should see the beaty of what just happened. GEJ's action should enlighten us cos what it means is that he has giving the Nigerian People a voice. That voice is power and thus he has handed us the power to manage our government and not the other way around.

We should learn that in Nigeria, too much investiture of power to one political party is unhealthy for our democracy. It undermines our powers as citizens. And as such, we need to groom either the present strong opposition inpreparation for the annomallies of current government in power. A good instance is the APC to checkmate the PDP whenever they mess up. The question now is who checkmates the APC when the mess up? Every present government needs competition and as each government's party afilliation compete to perform and deliver on their manifestos, the real beneficaries are the citizens. That is the power of our voice wielded by us over the government of our choice

For a strategic state like lagos, we have the opportunity to balance the power. Especially the one at the center. Let's take a cue again from the our latest success as a country. Southwest, especially Lagos is so key to our political growth. APC from lagos is what was projected to what they are today. So it is right to say that Lagos is key to any political growth. Even the power at the center can't afford to joke with a State like lagos. Largely because, it gives vulnerability to the current dispensation.

Why am I saying all these? As we progress in to the second phase of our electoral process, we shouldn't just consider our individual interest as our current president has just shown us but to put our state and our country first. We must protect our voice, our democracy and the only way is to create competition. In our various states, when choosing governors, it is not about who we like, its bout balancing power and driving performance with our voice which is our vote. So, its bout what can you deliver to challenge the party at the center or what the party center can deliver to challenge what the party at state wants to deliver.

For this reason, I won't want to concede Lagos to APC, but would prefer PDP at the mantle of leadership. The reasons are clear: which is to strengthen our democracy by creating competition and to balance power.

PDP are ready to address their issues. They are willing to work on the deficiencies. They are ready to perform better and to win the confidence lost in the people and what better way to show this than to deliver on their promises of a better lagos. This return challenges the Party at the center to also deliver cos they will see that should they behave funny and fail on their promises, they again may be overtaken. So they can't afford any loopholes. Who are the real beneficiaries, the CITIZENS of our beloved country. It is time to hold our governments by the balls and hold them accountable on their words.

For this, in Lagos, I implore we allow the PDP take charge. Their Statesmanship is the reason we need to. If they can show statesmanship at federal level, it means there is hope of better performance if given an opportunity to serve again. They know its business unusual and can't joke with the people anymore and its proven by their defeat at the federal level so they just have to deliver.

We have everything to gain I believe. The citizen's voice will be golden and we can keep substituting to enjoy the dividend of democracy.

If not for anything but to create competition for performance, vote PDP in lagos and yes, we will experience true change like never before. Our lives will be better for it.

Look at it this way, if APC hard to perform so hard in lagos to gain popularity to reach the center, PDP will work twice harder to regain the peoples confidence again as they find their way back to the center.

Thank you

GeneralShepherd:
I am studying an Msc in the UK paid for with my salary fool! I am not on the same level with you. A student should plan for life after school. Goat!

I do not hate sensible Yorubas nor Hausas but folks like you should not be taken seriously. You and your ilk deserve to be scorned fool!

It is a good thing we are "hiding" behind the internet as it affords us the opportunity to air our mind without worrying about our position in the society! Cappish?

Now go apologize to your foolish fadda at home, for raising you poorly otherwise, l am prepared to flush both of you down the Toilet this very minute!

Eluwilussit:
When have they been treated fairly? Those guys have earned every kobo they have. They have never depended on FG handouts. So they earned the right to vote for any party of their choice.

I hate all these hypocritical posts and comments. Didn't they vote for Shagari en mass and what did they get? Didn't they vote for Obasanjo in 99 and what did they get? Did they not vote for Yar 'Adua, what did they gain? They voted for Jonathan in 2011, what did they get? Now that they didn't vote for Buhari, what will they get?

The answer to all of the above is a resounding 'NOTHING'. It is surprising that when the SW voted for AD and AD lost, they were not criticized. The SS, SE and North were the ones who voted for Obasanjo. Did they get any credit for that?

For the first time, the SE voted in an election that the presidential candidate lost, they have suddenly become bad political strategists. They have become haters of the north and SW. In the past, wasn't the SE known for splitting it's vote across many parties? They were mocked for that too. Since 1999, they have embraced pdp and vote accordingly,yet they are still criticized.

Didn't the north and SW vote overwhelmingly for their own? Why the double standard? Even northern pdp members sabotaged their party because of religion and ethnicity. No region or ethnic group should be singled out for contempt. It is so unfair.

Buhari has won. He's the president of nigeria and not that of APC or SW and North. We will all support his effort, from North to South and from East to West. It is that simple. Why make it complicated?

Equalizer:
I still maintain my stand that the Igbos are being marginalized..
What stops the APC from appointing an Igbo man as their Presidential or Vice Presidential candidate?

GeneralShepherd:
Don't be a fool! I am not a supporter of GEj or PDP,check my profile

Equalizer:
APC and their animalistic kind of reasoning.. So because S.E didn't vote for buhari so nothing for us again abi?? Plus or minus Buhari's purported change mission, we the igbos will always survive cos its clear North dislikes us a lot..

In-short ........."Everybody HATES us"!

[size=14pt]It is called "VICTIM" MENTALITY!

Grow-Up boys, your "attitude" is your biggest problem.
CHANGE is here, embrace it whole-heartedly![/size]

'Those who like the pre-historic animals, refuse to EVOLVE, ....will go EXTINCT".

GeneralShepherd:
Nigeria is a joke. So because Buhari did not have much votes in the east so foolish Yorubas here are suggesting he should.ignore the east.


Well, we don't care. So you all plus Buhari can go and die.

The stage is set. Igbos can't lose!

How can people suffering from "GRANDEUR OF SELF DELUSION" ever lose?[/size]

All these "attache" to #SaiBaaba Buhari they are trying to do.....( in a shameless manner at that), is getting them nowhere.

GOD IS WONDERFUL

It is not strange fire but holy ghost fire that consumed him for rigging Jonathan out of office .
He couldn't live for one week to enjoy the money he collected from APC hahahahahakikikikikakakaka
