camplenigeria:As 'battered' as GMB is GEJ leaves us with no choice but to vote him out. GMB will definitely deal with corruption and insecurity which are our biggest problems today as a nation. |
Condense:That was exactly you people's reaction when SR leaked the news of the first postponment but it came to happen. It was the same SR that exposed Stella Oduah. Ignore SR at your peril. Anyway, we will discuss GEJ's foolishness in 5 to 6 weeks. Bookmark this post. |

Condense:You have not heard the latest.... Check FP. |
ogene007:The so called media house was the first to leak the news of planned postponement from Feb 14 by 6 weeks. They have a track record. Disbelieve SR at your peril. |
francizy:But but.... OBJ is not standing for elections anymore. So his actions or inactions cannot justify GEJ's failures. As far as Bakassians are concerned, voting for GEJ is voting for neglect. |
Even PDP supporters are saying they won't support a SE presidency. Whoa ![]() Who is deceiving who? |
Everbody has spoken. I hope the Otueke fisherman listens this time. The last time we heard rumours, they were true. We are hearing rumours again. Mr. Daft do not dig your grave. |
This is likely to be true. Going by the stories that GEJ wants to postpone the elections again to cover up Alison's looting of NNPC. |
The factional governorship candidate of the All Progressive Grand Alliance in Abia State, Chief Reagan Ufomba, has declared that any further adjustment to the 2015 election timetable would be an invitation to anarchy as such action would be vigorously resisted by Nigerians. Ufomba, who made the declaration in his country home while addressing his kinsmen from the 10 autonomous communities in Ntigha land, said Nigerians were fully prepared for the polls and could not afford to accept any upward review of the timetable. He said, “Anyone attempting to shift the elections will be inviting trouble – trouble that will consume him and the entire nation,” while accusing the ruling Peoples Democratic Party of manipulating the Independent National Electoral Commission for the shift. Ufomba also accused PDP of ruining the country’s economy, contending that “under the watch of PDP, Naira has lost its value.” He warned against ballot snatching and electoral malpractices during the poll vowing to mobilise a vibrant youth task force in his home town to resist any attempt to snatch ballot boxes. According to him, anybody, no matter how highly placed, that attempts to snatch the ballot boxes in his community as was the case, he alleged, in 2011, would be skinned alive. Ufomba who said he would create massive employment through agricultural revolution, youth empowerment and industrialization, also promised to develop commerce and develop rural communities if elected. http://www.punchng.com/news/further-poll-shift-invitation-to-anarchy-apga-gov-candidate/ |
The stolen money must not be part of the budget. Oil bunkering money never makes it to gov't coffers. Widely accepted estimates of 400,000 barrels per day bunkered is $12Billion per annum. In 5 years, that's $60Billion already. This is just the one we know. Soludo is not far from the truth abeg |
itetemi:cc: Lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, Ishilove, Maclatunji, OAM4J |
malele:PDP/GEJ will give rise to a bloody military coup with the way they're going |
francizy:The problem with your explanation is that it makes matters worse for GEJ. If OBJ's motivation for fighting for Bakassians is because of oil, how come GEJ has no motivation whatsoever? Even though they are fellow SS people like him. Like a poster stated earlier, would GEJ have abandoned Otueke in the same manner? No. |
simplemach:Apparently you have nothing to say but you could not shut up. Judas Iscariot. |
GEJ is soooooo clueless. Third term failed just 7 years ago and he has forgotten all that already. This time GEJ will walk the Gbagbo walk of shame, even Otueke will refuse to receive him. A smarter person will let Alison take the fall and walk scot-free. |
The All Progressives Congress has accused those who are “mortally afraid” of the 2015 general elections of sponsoring the circulation of leaflets, urging the people of Gombe State to stay away from the polling booths on election days or risk being in trouble. In a statement in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it could not put anything beyond the Peoples Democratic Party and the Goodluck Jonathan Administration, because of their desperation to ensure that the general elections did not hold, at all costs. It said even the attack on Gombe on Saturday was suspect, wondering how Boko Haram insurgents would drive on the highway from Maiduguri to Gombe in a convoy of many vehicles without being spotted or stopped at the myriad of military checkpoints dotting the areas. APC said it was curious that the Boko Haram terrorists, who had never mentioned the elections in their regular videos on YouTube, had suddenly started campaigning against the conduct of elections. The party also noted that the local government elections in Yobe, one of the hotbeds of the Boko Haram insurgency, went without any incident in 2013, indicating there had not been a systematic campaign by the insurgents to attack voters. ”Part of the strategies of the PDP and the Jonathan Administration is to depopulate perceived opposition strongholds through all sorts of dangerous measures, and this scaremongering, [/b]supposedly by Boko Haram, fits into that strategy. [b]“They are also the unseen hands behind the advertisement by faceless groups, urging Muslims to vote for Muslim candidates. It is in line with their exploitation of religious and ethnic fault lines to divide Nigerians,” the party said. APC said the alarm raised by Mike Omeri, the Coordinator of the National Information Centre, that some female suicide bombers might strike at polling units during the elections, also fits into the PDP/Jonathan Administration’s opposition stronghold depopulation strategy. The party added, ”It is now very clear to Nigerians that the PDP-led federal government does not want the forthcoming elections to hold, because it is guaranteed a shellacking. First the government sponsored a campaign to postpone the elections because of low PVC distribution. “When they realised the number of PVCs collected was growing and that their argument might no longer be tenable, they suddenly used security as an alibi, abandoning their earlier push for the election shift on the basis of low PVC distribution. ”After they succeeded in forcing the postponement, they launched another campaign for the PVCs and the Card Readers to be jettisoned in favour of TVCs, because that will allow them to rig if indeed the elections proceed in spite of them. “Those campaigning against the use of PVCs and Card Readers have forgotten that Ghana successfully used the same technology in its last elections, and that it is not rocket science.” http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-behind-circulation-of-anti-poll-leaflets-apc/ |
CyberWolf:When GEJ would be in soup like Gbagbo after postponing elections again abi? We are watching |
egift:GEJ already is copying from Laurent Gbagbo's playbook as coached by IBB. It will surely backfire. |
mikeansy:And their fellow SS brother GEJ continued that failure by deceiving them with commitocracy abi? Read about Bakassi here.. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakassi OBJ handed over Bakassi to Cameroun in late 2006 and handed over power to Yar'adua/GEJ in May 2007. How can you blame him for GEJ's responsibility? GEJ has been the longest serving president since the Bakassi handover. Or the Otueken PhD holder cannot come up with a relocation plan? |
dein77:Happy Sunday to you too. If I were you I won't hold my breath about elections happening next month. It was easier to hold the elctions in non BH affected states on Feb 14 and hold affected states elections later. But alas GEJ has other plans. Unless the BH excuse is another lie |
OP, if it looks, walks and quacks like a duck it is a duck, stoopid. Go and read Laurent Gbagbo's antecedents before his downfall and notice the striking similarity with GEJ's dance steps today. It is what it is. |
egift:Don't mind the ignoramus. It is the same story with Onitsha port. They just put one crane in the river and called it an inland port. Not a single ship uses that fake port. |
francizy:It is worse if their own Niger Delta brother in power also ignores them. OBJ even fought for Bakassi more than anyone. |
Hallmark08:So let's even assume you are right for a second. Would this be stealing or corruption? Why can't GEJ's gov't bring thieves or corrupt gov't officers to book? You like to point fingers but the C&C is letting corruption (abi na stealing) go unabated. He is definitely a partaker. That's why. |

He also appealed to the Federal Government to ensure proper resettlement of Bakassi indigenes who were displaced from the Bakassi peninsula. Mr. Etim stated these in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Calabar on Sunday. He described as deplorable the condition of the Bakassi people of the state since the peninsula was ceded to the Republic of Cameroon in 2008. “Our land was taken away from us without notice. We abandoned all our belongings, our fishing business and our farmlands. “We thought that by now government would have completely resettled us as enshrined in the ‘Green Tree’ agreement. “But up till now, we are still on our own without anyone coming to help us,” he said. According to Mr. Etim who is the Chairman of the Cross River State Traditional Rulers’ Council, the people had decided to go spiritual about their plight by praying to God to intervene. “The Bakassi people have resigned to faith in this matter and are looking for proper resettlement. “We don’t want to go to the International Court of Justice in Hague or anywhere else; what we want is proper resettlement,” the monarch said. According to him, the Federal Government had in the past constituted various committees on Bakassi issues, but nothing concrete has come out of them. |I am aware that those committees have recommended proper resettlement of the aborigines of Bakassi. “In 2014 federal budget, about N100 billion was proposed for the resettlement of Bakassi aborigines, but today nothing is heard about it. “There is nothing on ground to show that anything happened in that regard,” Mr. Edet added. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/south-south-regional/176889-nigerian-government-abandoned-bakassi-indigenes-monarch.html |
Taylor86:The problem is that even the Niger Delta shoreline protection and land reclamatiom for which the 19Billion originally meant for dredging the Lower Niger was diverted to was also not carried out. You don't need to be APC to see the massive fraud and authority stealing going on around GEJ. |
https://newsrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/yaradua-jonathan.jpg To everyone who has followed National issues in the country,you will agree with me that the late president Umaru Musa Yaradua, had awarded the dredging of the River Niger which was stopped by Goodluck Jonathan. But it surprises us on how time actually flies. Today, Goodluck Jonathan is seeking votes from Niger state to become the president again. Indigenes of the state has opened up that all is not well as long as the Jonathan candidacy is concerned. Here is an in depth report below on how Jonathan stopped the contract. Nigeria: Baro Community Decries Quality of River Niger Dredging. The people of Baro Community in Agaie local government area of Niger State have raised the alarm over the quality of dredging of River Niger and inland port under construction in the area. Findings also revealed that the people were not happy over the inability of the federal government and the contractors handling the dredging as well as construction of Baro port started in 2010 to pay them compensation for their destroyed farmlands. When our correspondent visited Baro, the contractor handling the dredging was not on site but it was learnt that the contractor was on site up until last year after test-running the purported dredging with boat from Baro to Jamata in Kogi State. The people further expressed reservations over the quality of work done, as they alleged that the contractor did a peripheral dredging, which, by their estimation, would not be able to carry a ship but just a ferry or flying boat. Confirming the development, the village head of Baro, Alhaji Mohammed Kazoro, told LEADERSHIP that the engineers who were sent for the dredging did not do any serious work on the existing depth of the river as expected by the community. He said, “There is no ship that can come to this place because the work is not good. You can see that everywhere within the depth of the river is filled with sand, so where do you expect ships to come into the port. “Instead of them to carry out sand out of the course of the river and to widen the river for the ships to be able to land, up till now it has not been so and we don’t know how ship would be able to land with this poor work.” According to him, “the engineers did not do any work but they said they have completed the job. They only came here, sat down and were eating their bush meat”. The Federal Government yesterday halted the dredging of the lower River Niger pending the total protection of shorelines through land reclamation of areas in the Niger Delta. This was the outcome of a meeting that Acting President Goodluck Jonathan had with the Steering Council of the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. Consequently, Jonathan has directed the Ministry of Finance to transfer N19 billion intervention funds for the dredging of that part of the lower River Niger to the Ministry of the Niger Delta for shoreline protection and land reclamation. He also directed that the contract should be executed in four weeks’ time. Special Assistant, Media to the acting President Mr. Ima Niboro, who briefed reporters on the outcome of the meeting, said the change was part of the amnesty programme of the Federal Government. The meeting, which was also attended by governors from the Niger Delta states, also resolved that the most urgent requirements are land reclamation and shoreline protection, instead of dredging of the lower River Niger. “There was a proposal to dredge the lower Niger and because of some issues about the areas, the Acting President decided to get the governors to take a look at these proposals and see the area of critical needs of their own states so that we can take a bottom up approach in the area of infrastructural development of the Niger Delta. Basically, the issue was between the dredging of the lower Niger and shoreline protection/land reclamation and all the governors are of the consensus that the most urgent requirement is land reclamation and shore protection. “So today, the Acting President directed that the N19 billion intervention fund should be passed to the Ministry of Niger Delta from the Ministry of Finance for this shoreline protection initiative. “The special intervention fund was supposed to be for the dredging of that part. So instead of using it to dredge now which will cause greater challenges, you know when dredged, the water channels become deeper, flows become faster and it will actually impact more on the shores of the communities. So it is that fund that is to be redeployed to protect the shorelines according to the request of the communities. “Subsequently, when these areas have been well protected and land adequately reclaimed, then we can now go into the area of dredging of the lower Niger area,” Niboro said. He said the reversal became necessary in order to protect communities in the Niger Delta and the decision has no any political undertone. “In fact there have been several instances of communities that have lost much of their shorelines to the ocean. Bayelsa State has lost almost one kilometre if not more of its shoreline to the ocean because of its root that surrounds erosion and all that. Many communities have lost most of their land to water. anybody from the area can attest to that,” he said. Speaking on the project, Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa State said shoreline protection was the immediate priority of the communities in the Niger Delta because of the effect of the ocean on their lands. “Right now, the thing that will touch our people more importantly is shoreline reclamation and protection because the people will see it immediately and know that the Federal Government is doing something about their situation,” he said http://newsrescue.com/five-years-jonathan-stopped-river-niger-contract-awarded-yaradua-indigenes-says-will-lose-state-eneh-john/#axzz3RpFl91Lj |
