No popcorn?

How old is the E63 and E71 can i see pictures.

Let me give you 20grand.

Can u upload a pic? How old is the phone? Is there any fault? Is the price negotiable?

When i said the violence was probably sponsored by pdp inorder to discredit Buhari, everybody was on my neck. With the comments from both sides ie Buhari and the pdp governors up north. One can safely conclude that the violence were sponsored, while the former has come out to dissociate himself /condemn the killings, the later is trying to justify the killing of innocent corpers with an attack that occured in 1979, so sad.

You people and your hypocrisy, when GEJ got over 90% it was free and fair right? So what stops godswill from getting 91%?

Wow! Don't know much about this character called ohakim, but if everybody is celebrating his defeat, then i guess it's safe to say he is a bad mfker. I beleive congratulations are in order to the people of Imo. BTW, does this mean Rochas is better or is it just a case of anyone but ohakim?

This tsiga/cigar guy must be high on horse shit.

I don't know what OP intends to achieve by posting this picture, the man was killed in sabo yaba during a clash between some hodlums in the area. Na wa 4 u oo!

Disturbed by recurring
cases of security breaches,
particularly, in parts of the
North and Abuja, the
Federal Capital Territory,
Nigerians have continued
to express deep concern
over efforts being made
by the police to fish out
masterminds.
In charging the various
arms of the nation ’s
security formations, for
prompt action, some
Nigerians have not only
condemned certain
inflammatory remarks by
supposedly well-placed
individuals and statesmen
but also insisted that
sources of such unguided
vituperations, capable of
inciting the manner of
senseless bombings, be
thoroughly investigated.
Of particular need for
mention are comments by
former Vice President,
Atiku Abubakar that those
who make peaceful
change impossible make
violent change inevitable
in veiled reference to the
increasing popularity of
the incumbent President.
The former Vice President,
who emerged as
consensus candidate of
the North, within the
ruling Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), was quoted
as making the remark to
dramatise his opposition
to the aspirations of
President Goodluck
Jonathan to contest the
party ’s presidential
primaries, instead of
stepping aside for
Northern aspirants.
In whatever context in
which ex-VP Atiku
coughed those obvious
threats, they are ill-
advised because the issue
of zoning and rotation
within the PDP has long
been addressed and
decided upon, by the
National Executive
Committee (NEC), the
highest decision making
organ of the party, and
peopled by
representatives of all state
and zonal executives,
governors, and key
political officials.
That being so, and the
same appropriately
endorsed by the party’s
Board of Trustees (BoT), it
is indeed reckless for any
aspirant, of the stature of
Atiku to impute dictatorial
tendency on the part of
President Jonathan, and
thus threaten to make
Nigeria ungovernable,
through the various
security breaches?
It is even more
condemnable for Atiku to
threaten violent change
because the electioneering
process is still on and thus
far, open and competitive,
as all aspirants, Jonathan
and Atiku inclusive
traverse the length and
breath of the nation for
support among elected
delegates without let or
hindrance.
That indeed is the nature
of intra-party politics, and
thus wrong for the former
Vice President to impute
bias even before the
primaries, billed for next
week to select a flag
bearer.
without prejudice to the
eventual outcome of the
PDP primaries, the former
Vice President ’s comments
smack of violent
vituperations of bad loser
or one searching for
reasons to explain a
failure in the future.
That is why Atiku’s threat
of making violent change
inevitable is today being
associated with various
bombings and security
breaches on the land.
Although, The Tide is
reluctant to share that,
rightly or wrongly,
Nigerians insisting on
investigating the former
Vice President, have a
point because of the
statesman ’s shocking
reactions to the deadly
new year eve blast at
Mogadishi Barracks, Abuja
a national calamity,
where, the presidential
aspirant condemned the
Federal Government
instead of the master-
minds of the bombings.
In fact, the content and
context of Atiku ’s
reaction, to many could
pass, as a prepared speech
in anticipation of the
bomb blasts.
This is why The Tide
shares the anxiety of most
Nigerians that no leader
should be over-looked in
the search for culprits,
Atiku inclusive, so that
Nigerians can approach
the next round of
elections in a secured
environment.

In a few months time, terry g wld probably become their choir master, and every woman/girl in the church will be required to give men/boys in the church a blowwjob during service, NONSENSE!! Lol@ going to heaven to meet jesus.

Most of you guys outside the country give us the impression that you are very comfortable, hence the demand. I have a friend who confided in me that he works in a paint factory and two other low paying jobs. Yet when he came home last christmas, he was dispensing money like a faulty ATM. One of my other friends that just left for America in january has been uploading some fine pictures on facebook, which suggests he's living fine but he doesn't even have a job yet.

gregg2:
Who's this mugu?
Where did you get your figures from?

why not check for your self before calling people names. Just an advice

ACN did not assist PDP, they simply looked the other way and allowed them to rig.

Mtschew. Nonsense!!! I will make sure that i mobilise people against your "revolt" cos you had your chance to revolt against 12years of bad governance today, and what did you do with it? Nonsense!!

@kobojunkie, d place you mentioned is ihiagwa, not iheala.

please!!! we need more polling agents at ilupeju, contact mr john on 08184701712 and 08028630107

It's not fair oo, why give journalist 200k and give actors biscuits? We must protest oo.

U can't even count, now i know why buhari wept. Do your unborn children a favour and vote for BUHARI, so that they can atleast count better than you. Olodo jati jati

Guys, there's this online service that lets you campaign to your Friends specially to those who may not have access to the Internet. Let's win this election men. Its obvious that Ribadu is the right guy.

Read what really happened at the alliance talk here:
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/04/why-acn-cpc-talks-collapsed/

PLEASE, DISREGARD THIS, COS IF U DON'T YOU'LL BE CAMPAIGNING FOR RIBADU, INSTEAD OF GMB.

I will not because of the
calculation/assumption of
a few/majority elite based
on facts, deny my
conscience of voting for
the right candidate.
I refuse to let the
perception of the
electorate (majority) based
on past elections & parties
style (rigging) derail me of
my choice of credible
candidate.
I turn my back on that
feeling of "hopelessness"
experienced by majority;
that no matter what they
do, their vote can never
amount to bringing about
change.
I refuse to change my
mind based on political
analysis and their
structures towards
winning the Presidential
election. Still will i vote
wisely even if the most
competent candidate has
no political structure.
No amount of preaching/
brain-washing can make
me accept a party that has
taken us back for 12yrs
even if my father were to
be the candidate of such
party. Knowing fully well
that a Destructive means
can never bring about a
Constructive end.
Yes, all might not be well
but a well conscience has
the might to reject the
status quo & embrace
change.
Believing otherwise when
something is right means
you are part of the
problem, no matter how
you try to justify it.
The fact that we cannot all
agree on a common goal
either as youths or as a
nation does not give the
room for us to deny the
truth.
I make bold to say i shall
be voting Buhari/Bakare,
keep your thoughts, advice
or history 'cos it makes no
difference for me.
My conscience certifies
them. I have no fear if they
win or not, at least my
conscience will judge me
right.
Even if I have boil on my
thumb, i'll use my tongue.
Nigeria lets vote without
sentiments.

So, having the first lady of a country commiting blunders all over the place is national pride abi? U don't need to think too much about the situation in this country before b4 u start crying(i.e if u are sensible)

234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5689501-146/story.csp Despite evading arrest in
Nigeria and being wanted
for corruption by
authorities in Nigeria and
England, the former
governor of Delta State,
James Ibori, is not on the
list of the ‘Most Wanted
People by the Economic
and Financial Crimes
Commission’. The EFCC
publishes a list of EFCC’s
most wanted people on
its website, which
contains the names and
pictures of suspected
financial criminals who
are topmost on the anti-
graft agency’s wanted list
and have evaded arrest. A
review of the list however
shows that the name and
picture of the former
governor is missing.
‘EFCC Most Wanted’, last
updated on October 5,
2010, has two foreigners
and eight Nigerians who
are wanted for offences
ranging from money
laundering to diversion of
public funds. A human
rights activist and lawyer,
Bamidele Aturu, stated
that by leaving Mr. Ibori
out of its watchlist, the
EFCC is “making a mockery
of the anti-graft war.”
“If there is any man that
should be on top of that
list it should be Ibori,” Mr.
Aturu said.
Mr. Ibori resisted arrest by
the EFCC in his Ogharra
hometown in Delta State
before he absconded to
the United Arab Emirates
where he is currently
seeking refuge. Femi
Babafemi, the EFCC
spokesman, however
downplayed the
commission’s failure to
include Mr. Ibori’s profile
in his agency’s list.
“He was publicly declared
wanted even though he is
not on the list,” Mr.
Babafemi said. Mr. Shehu
Sani, a human rights
activist and president of
the Kaduna-based Civil
Rights Congress stated
that “whether he is on the
list or not, the EFCC has
repeatedly failed to
apprehend him.”
Mr. Ibori is also wanted by
the London Metropolitan
Police for money
laundering offences.
Already, his wife, his
mistress, his sister, and his
lawyer have all been
convicted in the UK for
helping Mr. Ibori to
launder money belonging
to the Delta State.
Although he was recently
granted bail by UAE
authorities on health
grounds, the London Met
told NEXT exclusively that
the former governor’s
travel documents had
been seized and that they
were still working on
extraditing him to the UK.

Vice presidential
candidate of the Congress
for Progressive Change
(CPC), speaks on the man,
Muhammadu Buhari, his
experiences, their chances
in Saturday’s presidential
polls, and how they’ll fix
Nigeria. Excerpts:
I hope I could talk about
the challenges. In my
interaction with him,
during the Save Nigeria
Group Campaigns ,we
exercised our rights. But
the information I was
getting is that Buhari is a
person to avoid , he is
extreme this, extreme
that, and from the blues ,
the man called me to
come and run with him ,
when I got so close , I saw
the man totally different
from the way he was
presented in the press , or
by people. First it was a
shocker to me , because I
saw that the man is very
humane, and he is simple.
During the presentation of
our party manifestoe,
people saw me when I
carried his ipad. He was
actually resisting me from
carrying his ipad, and that
is the person you think is
locked in analogue age.
I felt, how do I alongside
others know the real
Mohammed Buhari , so
that people can see him as
a leader you can trust ,
and the person that is
reserved and preserved
by God, for this time, and
this season of Nigeria’s
history , and for the
challenges , every political
party has its own hurdle
to cross.
Ours probably will be that
we don’t have money
bags in this party , but we
managed the resources
we have it might look
little , but we have put in
minimal seed for
maximum
harvest,because we need
to get result , and we are
getting result .
How do you assess the
performance of the CPC
in the Southwest?
We cannot talk about
performance yet until
after the election.
I mean the acceptance
of the party at the
rallies you have
organized so far ?
Okay , if you say how our
message has gained
ground , and how the
people respond to us, it is
tremendous , I can
mention cities that we
have been and states that
we have been Ondo, Ekiti,
Oyo , Ogun and Lagos. The
only state we have not
visited in terms of rally is
Osun. But others we have
done tremendous work
there. That does not mean
we left Osun unattended,
because we have been to
the Ooni of Ife , Oba
Okunade Sijuade who
brought all the
surrounding monarchs
and Chiefs to meet with
us , like the Awujale of
Ijebu -Ode did. He brought
all the monarchs to meet
with us, to receive our
manisfestoe .
Politics is not just the art
of the possible , it is
looking at the core needs
of the people. The
purpose of government is
the Welfare of the
people , what is dear to
the people of the South-
West is issue of True
Federalism in Nigeria. It is
very very crucial to them.
Education is key in the
South West , because to
kill the educational sector
is to kill an average South
Westerner. If I can use
that word , like it is said in
my home town , if you
see a man with a rag and
torn clothes on his back ,
his children are in school.
But since the military
intervention in our
system , our educational
system has been almost
totally destroyed ,the
federalism is gone , and
what our people value are
no longer in the front
burner of governance,
from generation to
generation, from one
government to another
government .
These are the key things
we want to see the CPC
government do. We will
initiate constitution
amendment to ensure
that we embrace true
federalism in Nigeria one
more time. We will invest
in the existing educational
institutions , and in
addition to that create
136 science and
Technology universities ,
that will have satellite
campuses in all the
different zones , we will
invest in teachers
training .We once made a
survey of the quality of
teachers grooming
students. We observed
that the quality was low ,
and if that is the standard
of education that is
available , then we are
already preparing for
disaster in the future. One
can now compare that
with the problem of the
Almajiris in the North ,
who were not treated
with dignity, respect, and
care that they truly
deserve. So, when one
begins to take the
message of change , one
is looking at the content
of change that is
considered progressive,
that CPC is bringing to the
whole of Nigeria .
Specifically to answer
your question , in the
South West , because we
are not going to be
President of North West
or South West , or Vice
President of North West
or South West , we are
going to be president and
Vice President of Nigeria.
That is what will touch
the lives of our people ,
for General Muhammadu
Buhari, his great concern
is the need to secure this
nation first .
The way at which we are
going, things like
kidnapping has become
cottage industry. We need
to secure this country first
and then manage it
effectively. And when we
sit down to begin we
begin to put up promising
management, to look at
the issues, we are not
going to make promises
we can’t fulfill. Let’s look
at the issues and really
address them. And when
you take our manifestoe, I
pray the work load will
soon be out for public
consumption .
We also sat and looked at
the timelines; that this
thing you promise how
visible? How can you get
this done? When can you
get it done? who can we
trust to get it done. Then
we have to think of the
change team; that we
assemble each North and
South of the country and
some from the Diaspora,
men who have integrity
and track record of being
good, and able to handle
the issues that face us
today , If I may tell you,
from the students to the
youths , to the stake
holders , Obas , Obis ,
Emirs may not only
receive our message,
without any bias , I will
also tell you the
manifestoe of other
parties , and as I can say ,
we got what it takes to
fix Nigeria , and we have
the language, the
vocabulary not to
deceive , but to present it
to Nigerians in such a way
that they can connect us .
How can an average party
help, they will say
infrastructural
development. Tell them
how , they will say we
will build roads. We will
give electricity , and
everything is in piece
meal format. But we
present holistic approach
to the whole thing , and it
took us months to arrive
at it. If you put the
Nigeria map there , I can
show you where we are
going to have the
national corridor , that
will impact on the next
state alongside the five
major things that will
come along with it , so
that Nigerian roads will
not be when you
construct a new road ,and
three months after, PHCN
staff come to dig it in
order to lay cable , then
water co-operation , latter
NITEL people , in the
corridors, there will be
service chunks, and
everything will come
along with it , and we
need to develop all the
existing roads. With the
attendant thing that will
come with it, we are also
certain about where we
are going to get resources
to do all these things; that
we are not going to
borrow, we have studied
the master plan in
America , we have studied
what happened to Europe
after the Second World
war , we have studied
what is happening now in
Japan , what is happening
in Iraq that is under
construction , when we
say we have more than
required resources
required to fix this
nation .
There are many things
that Nigerians say
about General
Muhammadu Buhari ,
that they know him as
former head of state
and chairman of
Petroleum Task Force
PTF , and that when he
was chairman of PTF
citing of projects were
keyed towards a
particular side of the
country , that the
South-West was
disadvantaged over
him , also that as
military head of state,
he operated with
draconian rule , and it
will be difficult for him
to function under a
civilian rule ?
Lets me start with the
draconian or the issue of
the military background.
Number one people
change, on my way from
Ibadan, I was privileged
reading a book of Nelson
Mandela, that he was
imprisoned when he was
young at 44 years old,
and he came out of prison
when he was 71 years
old. And he said he came
out more mature,
balanced, and looked at
the same issues when I
was 44 years differently;
people change .
As a Christian and a
preacher, I know that
every saint has a past,
every sinner has a future.
Moses who murdered
became a deliverer, Saul
who persecuted the
church became a foremost
apostle, people change. I
am not justifying
anybody. But when
Buhari /Idiagbon came to
power , I was already in
the legal practice then , I
qualified from the
University in 1980 and
called to the bar in 1981 ,
and they came in 1983.
There is nothing you say
about the regime that I
didn’t have first hand
information on. Let’s take
them one by one .
Let’s take long term
sentences given to
politicians, Decree 4 that
sent journalist to prison,
Tunde Thompson and
Irabor, the cancellation of
the electoral Acts, the
execution of drug
pushers. Let me start from
your constituency, the
press . I was there at the
Sheraton Hotel , at the
Book Launch of Femi
Ogunsanwo , who was
my client when I was
practising , and I was
invited to be among those
who will present the
Book , and Tunde
Thomspson was there. I
heard him telling Yinka
Odumakin , (who is now
spokesperson for Buhari
campaign organization )
that when you see
General thank him for us,
that at least he didn’t do
two things: he did not
shut down the Guardian
newspapers, and he did
not send us parcel bomb.
He said he sent them to
jail compared to other
things that Dele Giwa
suffered, and other
Newspaper organizations
that were shut down by
Babangida that wrecked
those organizations. He
did well .
I had the opportunity of
asking him these
questions. You see, like
when you want to send a
word to a man who is
deaf , you send it through
his child , who can relate
well with him. Because I
relate and interact with
him , I wanted to know
what led to that decision.
That was the Decree
passed deliberately to
target the two people and
their organization. He said
no , the law was in
existence and they broke
that law .He said what
they do , are things that
Nigerians don’t look into.
That , they were
preparing Ambassadorial
list to send to other
nations. And it was such a
sensitive thing. But what
they did, got to America.
Guardian had a scoop, and
published it America was
embarrassed and they
fired the military
administration of Buhari;
that how come that the
list they considered
became public
knowledge. Nigeria was
embarrassed America was
embarrassed , and the
government decided that ,
these group of people,
there is a law that will
take care of you. I
remember there was a
Tribunal, and I remember
my former boss Chief
Rotimi Williams stood in
for Guardian , and for
these two people .
Every time we say Buhari
sent these two people to
jail. We have forgotten a
Tribunal was set up to
looked at all the records ,
but you never heard of
that. But the man under
whose regime this thing
happened, we hold that
responsible .
Let’s go from here to the
drug pushers. Funke
Aboyade asked a
question. As a lawyer,
would you allow
retroactive laws or laws
with extro passive
powers to be passed? She
said everything has be in
accordance with the
principle of rule of law , if
same is not a law, at a
point in time, you don’t
need to back date it , in
order to target or punish
people. I have said the
circumstances of that time
is already different .
My understanding of
extro passive laws is not
totally connected to the
word evil, as terrible as
looks. The ten words of
the ten commandment to
Moses , every legal system
in the world is traceable
to that ten
commandment. And here
God was telling Moses , I
am a jealous God. I will
visit the iniquity of the
fathers on their children ,
to the first and the third
generation , that the
father did it , the first and
fourth generation were
going to pay for it. That
was an extro facto power
in the old testament and
God reversed that law , to
the king he said what is
this proverb that you use
in Israel that , the fathers
have eating sour grapes
and the children’s teeth
were set on edge , and I
will make this proverb to
rest. The soul of the father
is mine , the soul of the
son is mine , it is the soul
that sinned that shall die ,
so he reverted himself .
This thing under civilian
administration can never
happen .
When the drug traffickers
were executed , drug
trafficking dropped
drastically , people feel it
is serious crime ,you can’t
do it and get away with
it. Like Singapore as you
are landing there drug
trafficking you are picked.
The only thing was
making the law extro
facto. Drug trafficking
itself is bad , and all those
things cannot be done
under a civilian
administration .
Let us come to Metro line ,
I have seen General
Muhammadu Buhari on it ,
and he said “the decision
was not what was done
to target Lagos or the
Yorubas , or to disrupt
their infrastructural
development. He said,
when we came to power ,
we didn’t even know
how much Nigeria was
owing , that the debt
burden was so huge , that
involved external
creditors , internal
creditors , and we set up
Chase Marhatan Bank that
will help us find out , how
much Nigeria was owing.
We set up a similar body
in Canada to check
internal debt. The amount
of money that would be
borrowed for Metro line
would be additional
burden of what they
were trying to get rid , so
we stopped it .”
They didn’t do that just to
hurt the South West or
Lagos alone , but they
stopped borrowing
completely everywhere, it
was not when one project
was stopped here other
projects continued
elsewhere. It was not
done to stop the Yoruba
from progressing or they
sat down and took a
decision to stop Lagos
from having Metro line
project .
Look at it from other
angles , that
administration lasted two
years , and there have
been succeeding
administration. Why did
they not fix metro line
project? The person who
pioneered it served under
General Sanni Abacha.
Why didn’t he bring it
back? Even now that
Governor Babatunde
Fashola is doing light rail,
why not return to metro
line? It is service they
could not catch. Nigeria’s
economy was totally
battered by Shagari’s
administration. And it was
in trying to stop the mess
that they decided to stop
anything that had to do
with external borrowing.
And when they did it,
naira became stronger .
What we are saying is
that Nigeria should have a
federal system of
government. It was
Aguiyi Ironsi said that
Nigeria ceased to be a
federal nation. It was the
military regime that
cancelled federalism in
Nigeria to be truthful and
honest. It was not difficult
to get things done. If we
sit on the brotherhood,
CPC is not asking for
sovereign constitutional
conference; CPC is not
asking for another
constitutional conference.
No. All what we say is
let’s start from where we
stopped. Number one, we
are going to enforce and
maintain the non religious
status of the Nigerian
nation, that Nigeria
remains a secular state
where people can practise
their religion , without
fear of molestation.
Number two , we will
ensure that, in our
country, we will remove
things like state of origin,
and it becomes state of
residence, so that every
Nigerian must be free to
reside in any part of the
country. We will go
beyond that. We will
initiate constitution
amendment to reduce
power at the centre from
exclusive legislative list ,
we are going to look at
issues that states can
handle. For goodness
sake, what is federal
government doing with
secondary education?
Why do we have a
Ministry of Agriculture at
the federal level?
