''leonaidas likes this post''

I ran a background check on all the major contenders, and buhari came out tops, i also discovered that he was responsible for all the PTF low price edition textbooks i used in school but i was worried about his alleged religious extremism but he chose bakare as his running mate thereby dispeling that claim. then i read an article on NL ''why we didn't vote buhari''. that further convinced me and i haven't looked back since then, sai buhari

i am voting GEJ because he had no shoes. . . lol

in my area, pdp agents gave us N1000 each while ACN gave us a satchet of pure water each.

Why Jonathan should
vote for Buhari

When you see an Edo man
raising his voice, asking
rhetorically in pidgin, "Na
today?" while another
person is talking, know
that he is expressing
disgust about somebody
making a false promise.
He is, in other words,
remonstrating with the
peddler of false promise
thus: Today is not your
first time of promising
what you either lack the
capacity to do or do not
intend to do.
Thus, whenever I behold,
among the infinite range
of goodies promised
Nigerians in innumerable
campaign advertorials of
President Goodluck
Jonathan, the word "anti-
corruption," I imagine Edo
people, who can no longer
touch anything PDP with
a 100 meter-long pole,
blurting, "Na today?" The
issue, as many have
pointed out, is not just
about President Jonathan.
But that is not tantamount
to exonerating him. The
issue is about the caliber
of people that dominate
the party on whose ticket
he is vying for a renewed
mandate as president.
When you see President
Jonathan on the field of
campaign, who are the
people you see around
him? You see people
whose names have been
mentioned in high profile
cases of corruption,
ranging from a former
president involved in the
Halliburton scam to
former and serving
governors with
substantiated cases of
looting of state funds
with either the Economic
and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) or the
Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission
(ICPC). When I told a
Jonathan/Sambo
campaignerthat I
personally find President
Jonathan likeable but my
reservations is about his
party and the corrupt
power-brokers therein, he
said whoever wants to
catch a monkey needs to
act like one and that I
should expect a brand
new Jonathan that would
fight corruption with a
zeal and dexterity that
would dwarf my own
candidate’s record: that is,
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
after he might have won
the presidential election.
He argued further that it
would be politically
unwise for Jonathan to
turn against his corrupt
mentors until
electioneering is over.
I begged to disagree with
Jonathan’s apologist as I
recalled the 2007
campaign of late President
Umaru Yar’Adua. This
Yar’Adua was generally
adjudged a good and
upright man. Yet, an
influential power-behind-
the-throne in his
government was Chief
James Onanefe Ibori,
former governor of Delta
state, whose cup of scam
was not only full but
running over with the
EFCC. Chief Ibori, it was
reported in many dailies
without any official
rebuttal following, was
the lead financier of the
Yar’Adua presidential
election campaign in
2007. He reportedly spent
billions of naira. Since he
was not known to be a
millionaire before he
became governor in 2007,
even the dumbest among
the naïve can guess where
the money he spent on
Yar’Adua/Jonathan
campaign came from.
Certainly, corruption has
its own logic that runs its
course regardless of who
you call yourself, saint or
sinner. For his support for
the Yar’Adua/Jonathan’s
ticket, of all positions, it
became Chief Ibori’s
privilege to nominate
Nigeria’s Attorney General
and Minister of Justice in
Yar’Adua’s cabinet! This
preference was borne of
self-preservation. Ibori
nominated his personal
lawyer, Michael
Aondoakaa, presently
derobed of senior lawyer’s
status by his peers for
unprofessional conduct, to
serve as Attorney General
and Minister of Justice. It
then became Aondoakaa’s
duty to block every move
to prosecute Ibori locally
and abroad. Yet,
somebody would swear
to Yar’Adua’s cleanness,
ignoring a Yoruba adage
that says, "A dog that
congregates with dogs
must eat faeces."
Of course, this story is no
news to most Nigerians,
but it goes to show that it
is well nigh impossible for
Jonathan to suddenly turn
against his corrupt
benefactors and
supporters as his apologist
hopes. And it is equally no
news that he recently sent
a presidential
representative to the
celebrations that followed
an end of Chief Bode
George’s prison term for
theft of public funds while
he was chairman of the
Nigerian Ports authority
(NPA).
What the foregoing boils
down to is a straight-
forward warning:
President Jonathan cannot
deliver on his promise of
anti-corruption crusade,
which, in turn, means he
cannot achieve most of his
other laudable promises
on health, roads,
education, energy,
security etc. Na today? So
far, it is extremely difficult
to point at any of his
achievements after almost
a year in the saddle. That
is aside having been Vice
President and Chairman of
the National Economic
Council for three years. To
those who hate to assess
his tenure as Vice
President on the grounds
that he was not the
president, you are
implying he was a vice to
failure for three years.
Nothing can work in
Nigeria until you have a
president with a proven
track record of effectual
anti-corruption stance in
both his public and private
life.
My candid advice to
President Jonathan,
therefore, if indeed he is
in earnest about his anti-
corruption promise, is to
withdraw from the
presidential election and
cast his vote for Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari, the
presidential candidate of
the Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC),
on Saturday, 9 April, 2011.
What he cannot achieve,
Buhari will achieve
because nobody can
accuse Buhari of
corruption. If Jonathan is
in doubt, he should ask his
mentor, former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, who,
in spite of titanic efforts to
find one, could not find
even the slightest shred of
evidence of corrupt
practices against Buhari,
despite his having held
plum positions like
Governor, Minister, Head
of multi-billion naira
parastatals (NNPC and
defunct PTF), and Head of
State.
Under Buhari’s presidency,
Nigeria will work because
whatever money is
budgeted for health,
education, road, security
etc will be judiciously
utilized. Buhari’s
administration, as I had
hinted in a previous article
"How Buhari Will Fix
Nigeria" (The Nation, 16
January, 2011), will
introduce a Budget
Implementation
Monitoring System (BIMS)
that will make it
mandatory for all
ministries, departments,
and agencies of
government to, on a
quarterly basis, post
details of their budgetary
allocations, IGR, and
expenditures on a website
for all to see and do on-
the-spot verification of
projects reported as
executed. Vote Buhari-
Bakare for change!

Death by hanging is actually a very painful way to die, d rope around your neck will prevent blood flow through the jugular vein thereby causing brain damage. Meanwhile your spinal cord breaks the moment u release the support under your feet and you will pass excreta and wet ur pants at the same time(so, wear a diaper). It takes about 3=5 mins of excruciating pain before you die. Long stroy short, consider a quick and painless death like stabbing urself on d brachial vein found in d bicep or d femoral artery found in d tigh. My regards to MJ and DAGRIN

i am most definitely puting my thumb where my mouth is, and that is right next to the cpc logo. for the future of my children. . . i suggest u do same

Documents
The documents listed in
the 2nd package are the
same that the ones in the
1st.
They are:
_ the appointment letter
( the 2nd package ) is
required to enter an
embassy
_ birth certificate
_ marriage certificate
( and divorce if
applicable )
_ death certificate ( if
applicable, for spouse or
children )
_ deportation papers if
applicable
_ police certificate
_ court and prison records
_ proof of High School
diploma ( and higher
education if any )
_ Evidence of support :
* affidavit of support
( I134 ) ( by a USC or LPR )
* job offer in the US
* money or assets on
your name
_ your passport
_ US-size photos
_ medical exam : the 2nd
package will indicate the
list of accredited
physicians.
Not required, but might
be requested : US tax
returns if you lived in the
US
but you do not need a US
police certificate .
Evidence of Support : It
can be any combination
of the following three

If you are a DV07 winner,
you cannot get a visa
before Oct 1st 2006. And
you couldn't get one after
Sept 30th 07.
There will be 50,000
visas granted : winner
( principal applicant ) and
family members are taken
into account in the
number of visas.
GC = Green card ( ! )
NL = Notification letter
( aka 1st package ) : the
big enveloppe you
received with your case
number.
There are 50,000 visas,
but more people receive a
NL, as there are some
requirements that may
not be met by the
applicant ( education,
evidence of support,
health, ), and other
reasons ( moved to a
different address and
never receives the NL,
death, changed his mind
and does not want to
immigrate to the US
anymore , )
So, receiving a letter does
not necessarily mean
being granted a visa.
KCC = Kentucky Consular
Center ( where the NL
came from ! )
contact : kccdv@
state.gov , and (606)
526-7500 ( US phone
number )
You need to know your
case number when you
call.
CP = Consular Processing
( do the interview at a US
consulate/embassy )
AOS = Adjustment of
Status ( adjust your visa in
the US ) if you are legally
present in the US
If you have a valid visa
and live in the US, you can
choose between CP and
AOS ( the "choice"
depends on your case
number: if high, AOS is
risky; the costs for you to
fly back if CP , ) . If you
don't, then there is only
CP.
Case number : that's a
very important thing ! ( it
starts with 2letters
standing for your region :
AF, EU, OC SA, AS )
It will determine your
interview date if your
number is called
( current ).
The bulletin gives you the
information :
http://travel.state.gov/
visa/frvi/b, letin_
1360.html
In some way, the case
number represents your
chance to get an
interview, thus to get a
GC. If it's rather high for
your region, you might
not be called ( your
number is never current,
not even at the end ), or
being called late ( August
or Sept ). But remember
that for some countries,
name and background
checks take a couple of
weeks. So, Sept 30th can
come before you get
cleared,
Evidence of Support : It
can be any combination
of the following three :
_ Affidavit of Support :
form I134 filled by a US
Citizen ( USC ) or a Legal
Permanent Resident ( LPR
= GC holder ) http://
www.uscis.gov/graphics/
howdoi/affsupp.htm
_ Job offer in the US : it is
better to obtain a job
offer on the company's
letterhead and have it
notarized.
_ Own funds ( bank
accounts, assets, ): see
poverty guidelines for an
idea of the amount.
( bank statement)
http://travel.state.gov/
visa/immigr, /info_
1327.html
http://travel.state.gov/
visa/immigr, /info_
1328.html
For the Evidence of
Support, you can provide
any combiantion of the 3,
which means you can
provide one ( any one ) of
the mentioned
documents, two ( any
two ), or the three of
them.
Remember that you
better be safe than sorry.
Bring as much as you can.
So, the I134 alone is good.
Still, it would be better if
you could show your own
funds.
Also, education and
english skills play a role as
it will help in finding a
job.
The immigration officer
determines your potential
to become public charge.
So the more proofs you
provide that you won't
become one, the better
for you.
POE = Port of Entry : if
you were doing CP and
were successful, you will
enter the US with a brown
enveloppe that has to
remain sealed ( don't
open it, it's for
immigration officers ).
Usually, it's an airport.
There, the process to get
the plastic GC will be
activated.

If their antecedents, integrity, achivements, general acceptance etc are anything to go by, it will definitely be buhari.

He asked for the answers and not the questions, or what is the point of having questions that you can't answer?

The fear of buhari is d begining of weting ur pants. . . Are we talking about the same emirs that allegedly collected 500million naira to endorse GEJ? what do you expect?

Why didn't he wait for that guy that attacked him at the airport if he is truly ready to die?

Does this apply to budhist, taoist, muslims and co, or just christians? And moreover this is the politics section. This thread should be in the religion section. Mods pls take note.

The Chairman, House of
Representatives
Committee on
Appropriation and Action
Congress of Nigeria { ACN}
Oyo Central Senatorial
Candidate, Hon. Ayo
Adeseun, yesterday said
that the over-bearing
influence of former
President Olusegun
Obasanjo in the polity
would soon drag the
ruling People ’s
Democratic Party { PDP}
into oblivion .
Adeseun blamed Obasanjo
for the protracted crisis in
Oyo PDP, accusing the
former President of
blocking all avenues for
peaceful resolution.
The lawmaker, who spoke
with reporters at his
Ikolaba, Ibadan residence
on state of preparedness
for the forthcoming
elections, said the PDP will
soon self-destruct.
He said: “Look at this Oyo
crisis almost every
individual at the lowest
and top echelon of this
party and of this
government told us in
confidence that they
know this governor is a
loser … so efforts were
made to salvage the party
that the party can ’t be run
the way he was running
it.
‘’We were already getting
to the middle of the crisis
in resolving it amicably
among all the warring
factions when Obasanjo
came and said on his dead
body will there be
changes in the present
executives of the party .

Is this not the same IBB that said there is no young man than can rule Nigeria? Or have you forgotten? What changed his mind?

Barely six days to the
National Assembly poll,
the Chairman of the
Independent National
Electoral Commission,
Prof. Attahiru Jega, has
shuffled electoral officers
across the country.
Leaders of most of the
63 registered political
parties had at a meeting
with the INEC Chairman
on Wednesday,
complained about the
activities of some of the
electoral officers.
They had alleged that
some of them had been
compromised by state
governors and
incumbent local
government chairmen
who were acting on
behalf of some
governors.
Jega had asked for proof,
even as he promised that
he would redeploy some
electoral officers in a
manner that would not
be disruptive.
It was gathered that the
redeployment was
sequel to complaints
lodged by a majority of
the party leaders.
Confirming the
development, the Chief
Press Secretary to the
INEC Chairman, Mr.
Kayode Idowu, said, “Yes
some will receive their
letters over the
weekend. ”
He gave no further
details.
At Wednesday’s meeting,
the National Chairman of
Labour Party, Chief Dan
Nwayanwu and the
Chairman of African
Liberation Party,
Emmanuel Okereke,
expressed fears about
the credibility of some
INEC officials.
They specifically, alleged
that some state Resident
Electoral Commissioners
and members of their
staff, especially electoral
officers had remained in
their post for close to 10
years.
This, they argued, had
made some of them
cannon fodder in the
hands of governors to
the disadvantage of
opposition parties.
Jega had in response
explained that it would
be difficult to move RECs
around in a manner that
would not be disruptive,
adding however that if
they had proof against
any REC he was ready to
do what was necessary.
Giving a hint that he was
prepared to shuffle other
categories of workers, he
said, “We will carry out
the necessary
redeployment of staff
before the election but
we will also ensure that
it is not disruptive. ”
Jega also assured the
party leaders that issues
that bordered on security
implications were being
handled by security
operatives.
He said, “It will be too
much a risk for someone
to impersonate as a
security agent. ”

This is not funny oo. imagine what will happen in the next 4yrs if u vote PDP/GEJ. we can't continue like this, VOTE BUHARI 4 A NEW NIGERIA.

GEJ was a nervous wreck at the rally, he barely looked up while giving his speech. ''mother of all rallies'' indeed. even my local government chairman could have pulled more crowd.
