Minaj tv news reports more than 100 lives lost so far at the mami market bomb blast. According to them the death toll may triple.

Although it isn't right to wish death on someone,it is most right to wish death unto the devil and all of his agents who has held our dear nation as a private property. Ojukwu, Obasanjo, Danjuma, Gowon, Buhari, ibb, abulsalami abubakar, David mark and all the coupists should all die and leave Nigeria alone. Since they all have decided not to support generational change in governance, the God of Nigeria will enforce the much desired change.

Our security agencies should rise up to this challenge and fish out these horrible animals. I mean the SSS and other intelligence agencies should unfold these monsters. How can a few group of persons take delight in killing fellow humans. It is unacceptable. If the director of SSS does not know his job, he should quit office for someone that knows better. Am sick of this nation.

Video: Jama’atu ahlus Claims Responsibility
For Jos Bomb Blasts That Killed 80 People On
Xmas Eve

TRANSLATION:
“Prayer, with quotation from the Holy Quran” My
Muslim brothers and sisters, indeed we carried
out the attack in the town of Suldaniyya which is
normally called plateau or what some call Jos.
We are responsible for the attack.
If you don’t know us, we are Jama’atu ahlus
sunnah lid da’awati wal jihad which was falsely
labeled Boko Haram, and we did this because our
Creator has ordered us to wage war on everyone
who does not embrace the religion of Islam after
preaching to them.
And (another) one of the reasons why we are
doing this in this country is because of the way we
are being killed in this country. Through evil
machinations, plans are orchestrated to achieve
desired goals (against us) and we are
continuously being killed, just as the Arabs say
“what the eye sees is better than a story that is
told” (chanting in Arabic).
Everyone knows how our muslim brothers and
sisters were massacred in different towns in this
country; Lagos state has witnessed it, so has
Ibadan, the town called Zangon Kataf in Kaduna
has also witnessed it, Bauchi has witnessed it and
so has the town Suldaniyya known as Plateau or
Jos, where we have carried out our attack been a
witness to the killings of our muslim brothers and
even the abduction of our muslim sisters and
children whose locations are not known uptil now.
It has also happened in Kano state at Sabon gari
area.
These happenings including what we have not
even witnessed or heard of, only God knows their
magnitude (and) God shall Judge (in these
matters) on the Day of Judgement. These are
some of the reasons why we are waging this war
because God has ordered us to go to war when our
brothers and sisters are killed, and now we are
even denied our rights to practice our religion.
God knows best.
This is the message I want to pass to people, and
finally I want to tell the Muslims in this country
and the whole world that they need to know this is
a war between Muslims and non-muslims. So
where ever you are, you should be weary; this is
not a tribal war, nor is it similar to the wars of the
pre-islamic era, it is not a war for financial gains, it
is solely a religious war. We did not start this war
so it would end in one week, or one month or one
year.
Only when we are completely annihilated and
nobody chooses to continue with our struggle
maybe that could be the end. Or (we establish a
system where) religion has the final say or religion
determines everything, that will be the end of this
war. And definitely this war will not end just
because we are visibly present anywhere because
it was God that said “quotation from the Holy
Quran”.
This is a war between muslims and non-muslims.
We are ready for anyone willing to face us,
whether it ’s a group of people or even the
government because we know who supports us,
God the Creator of the universe, praise be to God.
Therefore we are warning every muslim who
believes in the religion of islam that he should
never help a non-muslim in this war. If he helps
any non-muslim and in so doing, a fellow muslim
suffers due to that, he should know that he is a
dead person. “Praying in Arabic”

Gej should substitute Namadi Sambo with Ngozi okonjo iweala as running mate. That way things will better for him. Sambo is a high-thief.

Musiwa,:
maimalari , you are a northerner, delta state was part of the western region.

So the popular Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna na Yoruba men/westerners. So it is you yorubas/westerners that actually killed our Sultan,

Musiwa,:
give me one reason, why dont you want to go with them.  you have no reason. why dont you want to share the oil money with the north when edo,DELTA and yorubas leave Nigeria. Why?

look at cross and akwa ibom ibom, you have alot of oil. share with them. or give them part of the revenue since you people are going to have 70% of the oil, dont be greedy.  you are greedy. 70% of oil.

Bros wetin join delta state with yoruba. Delta state dey for old eastern region,

This issue of oil in the south pisses me off. Ok na who get oil wey dey for atlantic ocean? Abi ocean na person land? Cos I know very much that most of the oil explorations and exploitations are offshore(ocean) based.

As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. Its just for us to have a good leader who can bring us and the south to reason genuinely together thru a sovereign conference and implement the outcome. As simple as that.

Remember, this nation is endowed with abundant mineral resources, oil and agriculture. Corrupt and Bad governance has been the problem. Democracy is the only option for the common man to revolutionarise this country. Pls I enjoin my fellow Nlanders and Nigerians to vote wisely without sentiments. The future of this country is in our hands thru democracy. We can prove to those cabal that our destiny is with us. So let's defend democracy!!!!!

@ poster,
GEJ after serving and looting in Government for over a decade has not put up even one industry or sustainable initiative to employ/empower the youths of his immediate community and Nigeria at large. His industries he quickly built in ghana and china. He is busy building refineries abroad, instead of building them here,which hitherto would create employment.

GEJ according to his declaration in 2007 was worth about 400 million naira but now worth over 400 billion.

GEJ is a loyal servant, serving the third term agenda of Obasanjo and 4th for the Pdp. Associating himself with a party that is popularly referred to as "Poverty Development Party".

Despite the abundance of resources in the country, GEJ went on to obtain loans worth over 250 billion naira on behalf of you and I, for his own selfish ambition.

Instead of GEJ to complete and actualize one federal project to his administration, he is busy enriching few Nigerians for his selfish campaign against his fellow corrupt opponents.


GEJ is same as OBJ, Babangida, Atiku, Anenih, Osisikankwu and all their likes who take delight at plight of the Nigerian populace.

Allah must never let the wicked to triumph. I wish them what I wished Osisikankwu,

I LOVE MY COUNTRY, NIGERIA.

THE Presidential opinion poll on the website of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has placed former
Vice- President, Atiku Abubakar as leading
President Goodluck Jonathan in the presidential
“ war” with 22 votes.
According to the poll, Atiku scored 677 votes out of
1,396 votes, representing 48.5 per cent of the
votes, while Jonathan scored 655, representing
46.9 per cent.
3.4 percent of the voters, that is 46 did not believe
in either of the candidates, even as nine of the
voters, representing  0.6 per cent, were yet to
decide.
Meanwhile, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, North-
Central will today, in line with 20 governors of the
party, endorse President Jonathan in Nasarawa
State.
It will be recalled that delegates of the PDP are
preparing to get a candidate for the party January
13, even as it is not too clear where the pendulum
will shift to or if the figures will remain or change.
Also recall that at the end of last week’s National
Executive Committee, NEC, of the party,
PresidentJonathan ’s aspiration got a boost when
20 out of the 27 governors produced by the PDP
endorsed him.
His endorsement for a single term of four years was
announced by the Governor of Katsina State, Alhaji
Ibrahim Shema, on behalf of his colleagues.

I can't imagine Ohakim and T.A Orji being in power for another 7 years. That will mean eleven years of Man's inhumanity to mankind. "GOD FORBID"

Nsiman:
Why do u beleive when it is not a law. @ poster, u don't knw the 'rail' of govt

A presidential source said Jonathan intends changing the constitution with the aid of the national assembly, and the support of the governors if elected in 2011. So that they will all rule for 7yrs. That's actually why some of them who are power hungry are hurriedly endorsing him for 2011.

One term, constitutional reform;

In the meantime, President Jonathan remains
committed to one term only if returned to office in
the 2011 polls in line with his promise to the PDP
governors which led to their endorsement of his
candidature for the forthcoming presidential
election at a meeting last week, Presidency sources
told Sunday Vanguard yesterday.
Providing more insight into the president’s meeting
with the.governors and top leaders ofthe ruling
party, the sources said Jonathan would stick to the
‘ one-term only promise’, which, they claimed their
principal made out of his belief in peace in the PDP.
“The one-term only promise is even being planned
to be a major campaign plank of the president
because he wants to be seen as absolutely
committed to the promise, ” one of the Presidency
sources stated.
Jonathan was said to have shown considerable
concern about the bad blood his interest in the
presidential race had generated within the rank
and file of the PDP, leading him to make the
promise. Sunday Vanguard learnt that the
president was even thinking already about how
contest for political offices including the presidency
would cease to generate bad blood in the post-20ll
era.
“President Jonathan is pondering a constitutional
reform if returned to office in 2011 whereby the
president serves for a single term of seven years
only rather than two terms of four years each to
halt the kind of conflict that we presently face ”, the
source said.

I have been wandering why Jonathan, after the exit of our dear yaradua was searching for a deputy "only" of northern extraction. He never thought of someone from any other zone in the country. That is the height of zoning.

2023 na our turn oooo. Make I no see any ibo man or hausa man. This zoning/tribal jamboree is worth acting in nollywood. LMFAO.

The deputy director atiku campaign organization, Mr Udenta Udenta  in an interview with a national daily;


How do you view the endorsement of
President Jonathan by the South-East political
leaders, especially Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the
governors of the region??

Endorsement by who? Igbo leaders? Like Dim Emeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu? His Excellency, Dr. Alex
Ekwueme? His Excellency, Chief Jim Nwobodo, Chief
S.N Okeke, Senator Ken Nnamani, Sen. Ben Obi, Prof.
ABC Nwosu, Prof. C.C Soludo, Dr. Sam Egwu, Prof.
(Mrs.) Chinwe Obaji, Chief Achike Udenwa, Hon.
Dubem Onyia, and thousands of renowned Igbo sons,
daughters and stakeholders ’ groups? Or his
endorsement, by a handful of self-serving pretenders
who are motivated by instant gratification of power?
Don ’t delude yourself. The Igbo 2015 presidency is
sacrosanct, a spiritual thing. It is no longer politics as
you know it, but a crusade, a sacred struggle, a
search for identity and the stilling of the ghosts of
past unbecoming. Igbo people have spoken with one
voice, and the sound of their collective plea resonates
far and wide. They stand by zoning and rotation of
power. They stand on the side of honour, integrity
and respect of agreements.
They know it to their bones that the completion of
the North ’s presidential term in 2015 will signal the
beginning of the long delayed Igbo presidential
journey in 2015; and with that the real end of the
civil war. Nothing will distract them from realising
this mission or fulfilling this expectation, not least,
the empty noise of a few individuals in their midst
whose Igboness is being daily called into question.

Is it not this same GEJ that allegedly snubbed ojukwu. These politicians are confused.

“North is not set out to dominate
anybody. I want you to ignore the Nigerian history
of 60 ’s that produced coups and counter coups
with its leaders as northerners. It was not
conspiratorial on the part of the Northern political
leaders, it was accidental.
“ When we had opportunity we, not only brought
out President Obasanjo who was in prison for
treason out, but the north made him President
even when his immediate community rejected him.
It was the highest show of solidarity by the North.
The least our brothers from the south can do is to
demonstrate and reciprocate the goodwill. ”

Sooo these notherners put obasanjo in power against the wishes of southerners. That is very undemocratic of them. For fair play,the southerners should be the ones to nominate candidates for them. These few hausa are just allowed by Nigerians to seem powerful. Can u imagine someone saying the north made obasanjo president, in what ought to be a democratic process involving generality of Nigerians. I weep for this nation called Nigeria.

*Pledges to back Chime, Elechi, Ohakim, Orji

By Tony Edike
PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan, Friday, met with

president briefed him on his presidential ambition
in 2011 and solicited his support.
He also used the opportunity of the visit to
commiserate with the Ikemba Nnewi and wished

kept him from public functions for sometime.
There was a heavy security presence within
Ojukwu ’s premises as the road leading to his
residence was cordoned off by security operatives
including mobile policemen, soldiers, State
Security Service, SSS operatives and men of the
Police Bomb Disposal Unit.
The president and his entourage left his house for
the Airport at exactly 5.45 pm Friday for Abuja
after the one-day visit.
President Jonathan had arrived at the Akanu Ibiam
International airport at 2.40 pm aboard NAF
helicopter 540 and inspected a Guard of Honour
mounted by detachments of the Nigerian Airforce
and the Army.
Vice President Namadi Sambo had arrived earlier to
receive the president. All South East governors –

organization and also commissioned the Coal City
Mass Transit Buses and Enugu State Waste
Management Authority, ESWAMA trucks newly
procured by Enugu State Government.
Inaugurating the Akanu Ibiam International airport,
President Jonathan noted that the South East
geopolitical zone was more of a business region
and enterprise which deserves an international
airport.
He pledged that the federal government would do
everything possible to equip the airport for
effective operation and formally announced that
the airport had been granted an international

“Government will provide enough facilities at the
airport. This is just the beginning for the South

While commissioning the Coal City buses and
ESWAMA waste disposal trucks at Okpara Square
Enugu, President Jonathan told the mammoth
crowd of PDP supporters drawn from the five South
East states that he considers himself an Igbo man
by the circumstances of his birth and promised to
ensure that the interest of Ndigbo is always
protected by the government.
He said that the South East governors were more
organized than their colleagues in other regions
without minding their political party differences
and commended them for their achievements while
in office.
He said: “I am here to inform the people of the
South East that I and Vice President Namadi Sambo
are vying for presidency and to seek the support of
the South East zone. I believe you will support us
because I am one of you. I consider himself as an
Igbo man because of the circumstances of my birth
and I believe you all regard me as your own son. ”
The president pledged to tackle power problem in
the country within four years, stressing that it was
for this purpose that he appointed the son of Enugu

campaign organization, thanked the president for
approving the upgrade of the Akanu Ibiam airport
to an International Airport as well as his
tremendous support to their respective states .
He said that Ndigbo have resolved to stand solidly
behind him in next year ’s election.

The thing I have realised is that zoning has been existent in this country. All political office holders are products of zoning. GEJ himself is a product of zoning, okwesilieze nwodo is as well a product of zoning. Lwkmd. Abeg zoning should end,best minds/talents should do the job. Common we're all Nigerians and every adult has the right to vote and be voted for. All polical office holders that benefitted from any form of zoning should resign unconditionally,included GEJ himself.

Zoning: Don’t push us to the wall, Violence
may be inevitable -Atiku warns
December 15, 2010
By Henry Umoru
A Presidential aspirant on the platform of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar Wednesday warned that if the leadership
of the Party and that of the country jettison the
already existing zoning arrangement, it would
amount to making violence change inevitable.
Speaking Wednesday at National Stakeholders’
Conference, 2010 at the Thisday Dome, Abuja, the
former Vice President who noted that he was not
praying that the political situation of the party and
that of the country should get to the level of
applying violent means to address the nation ’s
problems, also stressed that if the PDP fails to
embrace reforms, it stands the risk of making itself
irrelevant.
Meanwhile, Former Senate President, Iyorchia Ayu
has called on Nigerians especially those from the
South to put behind them those eras in the 1960s
which produced coups and counter coups in the
country, just as northerners became Heads of State
during the periods.
According to Ayu, “North is not set out to dominate
anybody. I want you to ignore the Nigerian history
of 60 ’s that produced coups and counter coups
with its leaders as northerners. It was not
conspiratorial on the part of the Northern political
leaders, it was accidental.
“When we had opportunity we, not only brought
out President Obasanjo who was in prison for
treason out, but the north made him President
even when his immediate community rejected him.
It was the highest show of solidarity by the North.
The least our brothers from the south can do is to
demonstrate and reciprocate the goodwill. ”
Ayu who admitted that the task ahead them is
ensuring that the Consensus Candidate for the
north, Atiku Abubakar gets the party ’s ticket as
well as become the President of the country come
next year, said, “we are trying to tell you that we
have difficult task ahead of us. If you are not
present here today, the consensus effort would
have been a failure. But with your presence here
today, Atiku ceases to be the Northern Consensus
Candidate but the Consensus Candidate of
Nigeria. ”
The Conference which had as its theme, “Building
Consensus for National Unity”, was convened by
the Northern Political Leaders Forum, NPLF, the
Igbo Political Forum, the Yoruba Redemption group
and the South South Unity Forum.
Speaking further, Atiku said, “Our coming here is
not about Atiku, it is about the peace, the unity and
stability of Nigeria as exemplified by all the
speakers who spoke to this audience today. Today
is about building consensus for national unity. We
have some elder statesmen on consensus building.
It is about the rule of law, due process and standing
for what is right.
“I am an instrument for realizing these value. I
promise that by the grace of almighty God, we shall
bring this country back to the part of honour.
Before I end this short address let me send a
message to our great party the PDP: if the PDP does
not reform, it stands the risk of making itself
irrelevant. Let me again send another message to
the leadership of PDP that those who make
peaceful change impossible, make violent change
inevitable. ”
Also in his remarks, former Senate President Ken
Nnamani who warned that some leaders of the
country were planning to put national unity to the
burner, stressed that rotation and zoning which has
become part of the nation ’s history, was beyond
the north, the PDP, adding that it has become a
national challenge.
Nnamani who noted that Nigeria has a lot to learn
from the process that brought out Atiku Abubakar,
stressed that it showed high sense of humility and
patriotism, just as he said that if the choice was
from some parts of the country, there would have
been series of court litigations now, adding that
zoning must be adhered to against the backdrop
that all political office holders were beneficiary of
same process.
The former Senate President who called for the
externalization of the Consensus candidate
process, also called on Nigerians to disregard
comments by the President General of Ohanenze
Ndigbo, Ralph Uwachue, adding that as a country,
we lack political will to implement agreements,
adding that some politicians were over heating the
polity for their gains, even as he said that there
was tension in PDP because of plans to circumvent
the rules.

Happy birthday GEJ. But this man is old ooo. This man is too old for Nigeria. Abeg where are the supposed leaders of tomorrow. Our presido should be in his late 30s. Not all these expired old crooks, msheeew.

My SS1 kid came home for holiday yesterday and began an unending argument with me about my claims about poor incomes. According to him, they were thought in school that Nigeria has an adult population of about 70 million. That Nigeria's income from oil(not other sectors of our economy) per month is approximately equal to 70 billion dollars,as we produce about 60million barrels of crude oil(not natural gas) monthly. According to the 14yr old,if this money were to be shared among the generality of the population each nigerian will earn a whooping 10000 dollars monthly, Then I decided to share this on nairaland.

Jonathan imported these bombs for his kinsmen. And now they have twisted the story, This our nation is not safe in the hands of all these PDP idiots.
