fear causes us to do things we normal won't do. Fear kills; it paralyzes a man and destroys the very core of his existence. It could turn a good man to an evil genius in a split second’’ 100 percent correct. thanks for the wonderful right up 1 Like |

Politics / Problem With Nigerian Governance by Mario1983(m): 10:42am On May 23, 2015 |
The problem with Nigerian governance is that the politics aspect overrides the service part the Administration should embark on. Those in power fight to stay in power, and the opposition do not help too. Their pestering makes an administration to focus more on asserting its power on them than actually doing well for the citizenry who supposedly voted them in. Though the function of an opposition is to put those in power on their toes, unfortunately that is not realized.” my conclusion I pray the new opposition party in Nigeria learns perfectly how to put does in power come May 29 2015 on their toes so they can effectively perform well for the people of of Nigeria or be voted out |

I think too you are dismissive with Lillian's character and generous with Nididi's character, maybe because you see Ndidi as the leading character, hero, or heroine of the story so far. that's my one opinion. but as an engineer wat do I know in terms of writing |

His girlfriend?" Anna's voice sounded raised "Anna, I'm sorry you are hearing this from me. It was a slip of tongue" He heard Anna's sob over the line. He apologized and smiled, mission accomplished. Anna was the best thing that ever happened to Charles in their growing years. For the first time, he had met a woman from a very rich family, a woman who was willing to give him anything, one who opened her arms to his son, loved him dearly. Yes, no better way to punish Charles than to make his joy short lived. ................................... bad man tade |

Politics / Did Jonathan Lose The 2015 Presidential Election On August 13, 2013? by Mario1983(m): 7:12am On Apr 13, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has a chairman, Adamu Mauzu, who’s affectionately called the game changer. But did the game actually change for the party with the open walkout on President Goodluck Jonathan at the party’s special convention ground in Abuja by seven governors and other national leaders who went to gather at another venue to constitute a parallel leadership? Although two of the governors – Babangida Aliyu (Niger) and Sule Lamido (Jigawa) – remained in the party, governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Aliyu Wammako (Sokoto) Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) continued with the struggle and eventually teamed up with the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). So, did President Jonathan lose the March 28 election that August 13 when he couldn’t handle the ‘august’ defection members of the PDP? Hindsight is foresight late on the scene. To put it in another way, it is wisdom that has arrived late to the game. The voice of hindsight will now be telling President Jonathan: “I wish I had thought of that.” “I wish I knew then what I know now.” “I would have; I could have; I should…hold the party together the way I met it.” But do election figures back the claim that on hindsight, the president lost the last election in August 13, 2013? Let’s do the math. The PDP had total votes of 12,853,162 in the presidential election to APC’s 15,424,921 losing with a margin of 2,571,759 votes in the 36 states and FCT. Here’s the breakdown of the results of the five states that broke away from the PDP to the APC: STATE APC 2015 PDP 2015 Rivers 69,238 1,487,075 Adamawa 374,701 251,664 Kano 1,903,999 215, 779 Sokoto 671,926 152,199 Kwara 302,146 132,602 Total 3,322,010 2,239,319 We have to adjust for the “Amaechi-effect”, which is to swap the votes in the five states and give PDP APC figures and assume a PDP that’s still intact. The ruling party now has a deficit of 1,489,068 (i.e. 3,322,010 – 2,239,319 – 2,571,759) as against the initial 2,571,759 votes. Going by this calculation, the APC would still have won without Amaechi and co. But surely, you know it goes beyond calculations and figures? We know. But before we come to that, let us look at figures from 2011 presidential election. STATE CPC 2011 ACN 2011 PDP 2011 Rivers 13,182 16,382 1,817,762 Adamawa 344,526 32,786 508, 314 Kano 1,624,543 42,353 440,666 Sokoto 540,769 20,144 309,057 Kwara 83,603 52,432 268, 243 Total 2,606,623 164,097 3,344,042 The CPC, which merged with ACN and other parties (whose figures we want to ignore for convenience sake) to form APC in 2013, had a total of 2,770,720 votes in 2011, compared with PDP’s 3,344,042 in the five states under review. We swapped the votes in the 2015 figures so as to adjust for the Amaechi-effect, but we do not have to do that for the 2011 figures. Then PDP was “intact”. So, juxtaposing 2011 and 2015 figures for APC (CPC + ACN) and PDP bring up identical votes! APC had 2,239,319 (remember we are using the Amaechi-effect figures) in 2015 and 2,770,720 in 2011. The difference of 531,401 in both election results is not negligible but then it’s not “transformational” neither could it have made “change” possible! PDP had 3,322,010 (swapped votes to adjust for Amaechi-effect) in 2015 and 3,344,042. But unlike in the case of the votes recorded by APC in the elections, the difference of 22,032 is negligible. Figures don’t lie, but on hindsight, the president lost because he couldn’t put his fingers on some other factors . And hindsight is the ability to gain clarity by looking back in retrospect. 2 Likes |
