I'm a proud member of RCCG, and I trust my G.O (Adeboye), not to get involved in this our dirty politics of endorsing candidates.
Pastor Kalejaiye was expressing his annoyance in the state of the Nation(which didn't start today or under GEJ). Pastor Kalejaiye may not even vote in the elections.
The church should stay away from politics. Religious leaders should remain spiritual leaders. They should realise that their main calling is to win souls and not to canvass for politicians.

My pastor can complain about the present situation of things in Nigeria but the day he stands on the pulpit and starts canvassing for a politician, would be the last day I worship in that church.

Let me explain something here. Politics is all about who gets what, when and how. Political parties are just interested in getting power.

PDP realises that the only candidate that can shake Amaechi's APC in the state is Wike. Gone are the days when a gentleman who is not connected to the people wins an election. Elections in Nigeria now, is how connected are you to the grassroots and how much you can present your case(talk). That's why Omisore lost in osun, that's why Fayose won in Ekiti, that's why Jimi Agbaje was picked ahead of Obanikoro, and that why Wike has been picked by PDP.

Wike would challenge Amaechi word for word and even defeat Amaechi in the talking game that Amaechi knows how to do. This election is not PDP vs Peterside. It's PDP vs Amaechi.

utumunta:
OP, do you know what emboldened these people to continue their threats this election again? The President refused to prosecute and punish those responsible! The corpers that died and thousands of other lives that were cut short by almajiris, went unpunished by the man they voted into office to protect them. That was my point of departure with GEJ presidency.

I campaigned vigorously and voted for GEJ in 2011. He has done well and better than past leaders. I like him as a person, but I don't like him as my President. Why? He lacks the balls to be one. Though he is going to win a re-election, he needs to become Presidential and learn to be 'forceful' cos the attendant violence that will greet his re-election in 2015 will be worse than what we witnessed in 2011.

Are you asking me how I know? Our instigator- in - chief of violence, General Buhari is at it again! This time around, he has attracted worse wolves than himself, in the persons of Amaechi, Aregbesola, Saraki, El rufai etc etc. These men are Machiavellians whose end always justify the means. They either win it or toss. They have palaces abroad where they can run to, and stoke the fire from, when the country goes up in flames. It is the bodies of long-suffering masses that chant APC and PDP that will litter the streets; charred beyond recognition. No member of their family will be found in such despicable story!

Nigerians ronu!

This is the best post I've read this year. True talk.

12 corpers were killed in 2011, by supporter of Buhari who were incited by a statement made by Buhari. Up till this moment, Buhari hasn't apologised for the actions of his supporters. Instead, the body language of his party men and Campaign director is that of violence. They're already threatening us again. By saying they'd refuse to go to court if they feel the election is rigged, they are indirectly saying they want to be a player and a referee in their own football match.

These politicians are desperately deceptive. When they succeed in making the country boil, they'd all take the escape route to their safe place. Until Nigerians realise that the problem of this country is PDP and APC, we'd not move forward. Until we realise that these people would go to any length to get power, we'd not move forward.


Be wise my friends. Be wise

The first thing I did after reading this news was to look at the source. If it's not punch, Vanguard, Guardian, Nation, Channels, Sahara reporters etc, then it's not reliable. I don't believe the part of the people shouting sai Buhari.

The issue here is greed. If the Fayose is giving out rice and Chicken, it's supposed to be for the poor, not for everyone. I don't see any reason why people would drive their cars or spend 1k on transport just to collect something they can afford.

Let's praise the good and condemn the bad. Fayemi left Ekiti in a mess, cleared the state account, owed salaries for 3 months, was far from the people, and didn't look at the immediate needs of the people. Fayose has paid up all the outstanding and is only owing for half of december. I think he needs to be commended for that, considering that some states are yet to pay for november.

Fayose didn't say he won't develop the state, development would come, but the people would also be fed while the state is being developed.

Lies and propaganda everywhere. Here are some points worth taking note of.

1. People (especially here on nairaland) celebrate and believe every propaganda thrown out by whichever party they support.

2. APC realises that Buhari has a religious stain on him, and they're trying every possible means to take off that stain, which includes picking a pastor as his running mate, etc.

3. Who are the northern pastors that endorse Buhari? So if (let's say) 20 pastors of some (small) churches in the North endorse Buhari, it now means the entire northern pastors are endorsing him?

4. I thought APC said religion doesn't count, but now they seem to have even gone more religious than the PDP, yet the same APC supporters who openly condemned PDP for being religious, are praising APC for doing the same thing.

5. Elections are never won online in any part of the world. If it elections were won online, Fayose wouldn't have emerged governor of ekiti, and Bush wouldn't have won a second term in office.

harthonder:
I was at the inec office today @ oshodi Isolo, Lagos state,They said that they do not collect the print out slip 4 now.

Thank you and God bless you for the information you just shared. Did they tell you any other thing apart from that? Like give you a form to fill?

Lies. Everywhere.

1. 80% of the Igbo's are for GEJ

2. The igbo's don't throw around money like that. Infact, most yoruba's accuse igbo's of being stingy.

3. Who are the igbo's that donated?

stint:
Points to be noted:
1. The General shares my fear that he may die in office
2.The powers That be wanted a soft VP since the begining, They dont want two string willed candidates. This suggest that The professor is more controlable than bakare.
3. Buhari may have won if he had chosen ngosi as it pleased the lordship.But he doesnt do as he is told. He should have but now he is more malleable. Which in this case is also wrong. He should have stuck with Buhari or someone with a strong will who can rule Nigeria if he dies. The good professor doesnt look like hr can stand the heat.
4. The former governor was afraid of Tinubu. He said if Bakare wanted him ALIVE he shouldnt suggest that he should be VP UNLESS ASIWAJU SAID SO HIMSELF. This implies he knows asiwaju to be capable of killing. It reminds me of some asasinations in Lagos over the years.
5. If the 80 year old man wins, corruption will be over, if he dies in office however the VP will be worse than GEJ. Should i add how easy it will be to kill an 80 year old man and make it look like natural causes?
6. Am still gonna vote for BUHARI.
IF HE WINS, NO CORRUPTION NO BOKOHARAM
IF HE LOSSES , MEDIUM CORRUPTION LARGE BOKOHARAM
IF HE WINS AND DIES IN OFFFICE WAHALA DEY, EXTRA LARGE BOKOHARAM.
GOD HELP US .

You made some important points, but let me highlight somethings.

1. This is not the military regime where the head of state sits in his office and orders soldiers to flog people who perform corrupt acts on the streets, roll them in muddy water, and draws up a list of top officials to be arrested.

2. This is a democracy where institutions are empowered to act. The president can not order the arrest of somebody as he's not the police or the EFCC.

3. Corruption is everybody's battle to fight. Why are we all complaining of the president? Why isn't anyone saying anything about the senators? Let a senator from the opposition present an anti corruption bill, let the house or senate pass it, and let me see if GEJ wouldn't sign it into law. Everyone has a role to play here. Let the EFCC make one high profile arrest, and let me see if GEJ would stop them from trying the person.

4. The insurgency we are seeing in the North today, started because our past leaders neglected the North. They refused to educate the people as they were benefiting from the high level of illiteracy in the North. None of our past leaders built an islamic school where the children can learn islam and normal school work. Now GEJ has built 125, but it looks like the schools are coming a little too late.

5. If Buhari wins, there'd be violence in the south/south. Militancy would start all over again. If GEJ wins, there'd be violence in the North, and in some parts of the south/west. Either ways, 2015 would be hot. BH may stop, but another form of militancy would start, some people are already getting warships.

6. God help Nigeria. Let's all pray for a better nations. Our politicians (both PDP and APC) are selfish, desperate, and full of deception. I think we need a third party in Nigeria, and a third candidate.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

Yeye dey smell. This man performed extremely well as a PDP governor, then decamped to the APC and was more interested in fighting the president than he was in developing rivers state.

See the amount he's shamelessly saying he allocated as contract to build classrooms. Shameless politicians.

Rivers people have gained nothing from ur marriage with APC, the only people who have gained from that marriage is Tinubu, and Buhari, yet you still expect rivers people to vote APC. You better go to the southwest to contest elections, because that is where you are seen as a hero. Not here in rivers

I open this thread because I know that some state governors are owing salaries.
Please tell us if your governor is owing, and also how many months is he owing.
This is not about political parties. It's just an eye opener.

20pounds:
I am not from Ekiti State, but I feel very insulted when people dismiss their vote for Fayose as a vote for 'stomach infrastructure'. If they voted for 'stomach infrastructure' it then means that Fayemi had been starving them!

Olusegun Adeniyi who described himself to Chief Obasanjo(while apologising to the latter so as to be allowed to build stomach infrastructure) as an 'opposition writer', went as far as saying that Ekiti people were not at home with Fayemi's gentlemanly approach to Governance!


What is gentlemanly approach? He wanted them to tolerate a Government that did not pay salaries. A government that suffered total disconnect with the people. A government that embarked on white elephant projects that did not reflect on the living conditions of the long-suffering masses, all in a bid to retire money via contracts to the overlord in Lagos.

Ekiti people spoke, plain and simple! They wanted a government close to them and had to boot out the elitist Fayemi administration. I wonder why he is wasting time and resources going to the Tribunal in the face of such resounding defeat.


As we draw close to 2015 elections, APC should know that good Governance is not entrenched on the pages of newspapers and use of propaganda. They must work hard to connect with and convince the people. This is where PDP is ahead of them. This why PDP keep winning elections on ground, while the APC wins on the internet and newspapers.

God bless Nigeria.

You have spoken well. The people voted Fayemi in the first place because they had expectations from him, when he wasn't meeting those expectations, they voted for a tested and trusted grassroot man. A man who would go to the market, dance with the market women, and give them something to prepare dinner with when they get home.

Every society is unique and has it's own problems. Ekiti is not Lagos. The people wanted to feel the government that was why they voted Fayose. Ekiti people didn't want a governor who takes orders from one baba in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Sometimes I ask myself who is wise and who is fooling who in Nigeria today.
There's a big political divide in Nigeria, a divide that makes me fear for my nation. In today's Nigeria, you're either in the camp of PDP (GEJ) or in the camp of APC (GMB).
Those in the GEJ camp look for every reason to disbelieve anything positive coming from the GMB camp, they castigate everything that's connected to GMB and no amount of convincing can make them change their stand.
Those in GMB camp, also castigate GEJ so much that they see nothing good in his administration. They look for every reason to attack anything that has GEJ on it, and just like the GEJ boys, no amount of convincing can make them change their stand.
My fear for this nation is that the politicians are at it again. All sorts of propaganda will keep flying from both camps until the big two parties decide to (miraculously) mearge one day.
Have we ever sat down to ask ourselves these question;
If Buhari decamps to the PDP today, will the party still call him a religious bigot?
If GEJ decides to decamp to APC today, will the APC reject him, and stop referring to him as an incompetent president?

Fellow nairalanders, please open your eyes before you jump into this political war that the politicians are dragging everyone into. Can't we see a trend gradually coming up in Nigeria? The south southerners created trouble, and didn't stop until their man got the seat of power. Now there's trouble in the north, which looks like it wouldn't stop until a northerner gets into power. With the elections close by, some people from the south south are already preparing battleships just incase their man loses out. If you know the creeks well, you'd know that if those boys decide to make that rejoin ungovernable even for Barack Obama, they can do it, because they no one knows the creeks in Bayelsa as much as the militants do. Is this how Nigeria should continue?
I personally think Nigeria is ripe to have a vibrant president (in the mould of an Obama) who can talk the talk, work the work, and who has the charisma to inspire Nigerians. A knowledgeable president whose speech alone can inspire a turn around in Nigeria. With due respect to GMB and GEJ, both of them are capable of boring someone to sleep with their dull presentation of speeches.
Please fellow nairalanders, be wise. Don't jump into one side of the divide. Politicians are politicians. Do not believe all you read online.

God bless Nigeria.

The first time I saw that thread, I wondered why a church like RCCG would fall into the trap of Nigeria's muddy politics.
Now the general overseer of the RCCG, has distanced himself and the church from the twitter account. He also gave the genuine twitter account of RCCG.
https://m.facebook.com/PastorEAAdeboye?_rdr

Wait o! I'm a member of the rccg, and I follow rccg on twitter and facebook. I believe my G.O wouldn't publicly declare his support for any individual so as to avoid getting involved in the dirty water called Nigerian politics. I don't know how the RCCG has gotten itself somehow wrapped up in the politics of Nigeria. I just hope someone in the RCCG hierarchy realises how much this simple "let somebody shout halleyah photo" can do to smear the reputation of the church.

cramjones:
In our meeting, all the governors wanted Amaechi as vice. We had settled for him when we left. However, Tinubu wanted to be the VP, but most people were opposed to it, at the end we decided to pick Prof, since Tinubu insisted on a South West candidate. We hope that Amaechi's role as campaign DG will win us at least 25% of votes from the SE and SS. Meanwhile, those that have to play their cards better in the Nigerian political space are the Igbos.

The Yoruba's have gotten more out of Nigeria that our SE brothers ! They play smart politics , choose when to ally with the center and when to oppose it smartly NOT based of prejudice and bigotry! This way , they gain while some other folks hold on to a frankly delusional dislike for another group and consistently outdo themselves! If you want to sink with GEJ an incompetent man because you want to use him to "deny" the North power, by all means do so, but remember that you also push power further away from yourself because YOU NEED ALLIANCES (even if it is with your perceived enemies) to ever get to power! When I look West or North, I don't see the SE forming any alliances , hence I can confidently conclude that they have miscalculated again! Would you guys go and hang yourselves in 2019 when PDP rotates power to the North and your much hated Hausa-fulani muslim northerner becomes president ? Would you then run to the SW and say let's oppose them? Tinubu is a brilliant politician , he probably distrusts the North more than you do, but he understand that ALLIANCES rather than bigotry is the route to power in a country with major ethnic groups and power blocks! Give or take power will certainly reach the SW AGAIN before the SE , bc APC or PDP understands that they need this block! Okorocha understands this, and I am sure many pragmatic Igbos felt proud of him when he mounted the podium at the APC convention to add an Igbo voice to what has become A NATIONAL CRY FOR CHANGE! you cannot as a result of unfounded bigotry hold the whole nation back! It is not a good reason to do so! Reminds me of the biblical "fake mother " who asked Solomon that the baby which was not hers be divided! ! This is what you guys did in 2011 and are doing now ! You will sacrifice Nigeria on the platter of bigotry and hatred if even it destroys you? How can you hate another , more than you love yourself ? I say rethink your motivations, I would respect whoever you choose to support as long as it is bc of his competence or lack of it , but to hate a pleural entity "Hausa-fulani muslim north? Is silly and won't get you anywhere!

-CramJones

Here we go again. You people keep kicking the igbo's for deciding who they'd support.
There's an atom of selfishness in everything a person does.

The west (Tinubu nd co) know that Amaechi is not trust worthy, that's why they can't make him Buhari's running mate. Now they want to use his ruggedness and doggedness to win the elections, after which (if they win) they can dump him.

When the igbo's supported Yar'adua, no one complained of bigotry. When they supported Obj, no one complained of bigotry.

Now back to the issue of selfishness. I dare you or anyone else to tell me the president or head of state that has done more for the eastern rejoin than GEJ has done.

The igbos obviously do not want a president from the SE, but a president who would develop the SE. I don't see why anyone should have a problem with that.

As I always say, let igbos support who they choose to support, let yorubas support their choice, let hausas support their choice. At the end the most popular candidate wins.

Pls don't antagonise the igbo's for not going with your choice of candidate

koboko69:
The Nigerian police and others that are to enforce the law and have relaxed, collecting bribe is also the order of the day. The APC led lagos state government is doing all her best to restore sanity.

Gosh! Guy did you have to go that way? This is not about APC or PDP. This is about insanity that happens on a major road. I live at the alaba express axis of that road, and I can tell you that there's an average of 3 accidents weekly on that axis alone.

We know how intellectually sound the lagos state governor is, and how loud the APC is, and I can tell you that there's no way the FG or Police would be doing something against the will of the lagos state government that the lagos state government wouldn't scream out for the whole world to hear.

When the law was being enforced it was being enforced by the police under the directive of the lagos state government, and kick against indiscipline (KAI) officials.
The FG or PDP has nothing to do with the bike men on apapa - oshodi expressway.

As usual, we miss the base of the issue and look at just the surface matter. Why did those lawmakers jump ship? The reason is simple. They lost the primaries in PDP, were assured they'd get the ticket of APC and had to move for their own selfish reasons.
Does getting the APC ticket guarantee them a return to the house? That's a big No. There return to the house depends on their popularity, some of them, if not all of them are inactive legislators.
If GEJ joins APC today will the party reject him? Big no. They'd suddenly start singing his praise because the most important thing for them, is to have their man in power.

aresa:
1. Lekki road belongs to the people of Lagos and not any concession company. Try keep up with current affairs..

2. Badagry express and metro rail belongs to the people of Lagos and your rubbish about alafia toll is a figment of your imagination.

3. The Lagos state government is funding Badagry express and metro rail so where is the sense and rational in some Chinese company collecting toll on what doesn't belong to them? Educate yourself a little before ranting for your own good.

4. JB is going to collect toll on the 2nd NB because JB is funding the bridge with their own money, the bridge practically belongs to JB for 30 years.

5. Why not just go ahead and list the projects GEJ started and completed in the SE..


Bottom line, GEJ took your votes based on his promise to build the 2nd NB, but instead he sold you off to JB for 30 years toll payments...

I've listed the projects already in this tread, you can dig it up. I also listed some of the ongoing projects in the east. If you want, you can travel down to Abia state to verify those projects I later listed, or you can ask people the state of owerri-onitsha road before GEJ came in, then travel on that road by yourself to see the present state. .

If you go to the Alafia bus stop on Lagos - badagry road, you'd see that a toll center is already there, even though the road is yet to be completed. I'm not saying tolling has started on the road, I'm just saying tolls would be collected on that road whenever it's completed.

Lagos state has arguably the highest tax rate in Nigeria, yet you don't see any problem with the Lagos state government collecting tolls from people plying a road that was constructed with their taxes.

Lagos state government collected a significant amount as loan from the world bank to finance the lagos - badary road as well as other projects. The federal government reached an agreement with JB, FG is paying part of the money, while JB pays the other part. If you don't see a problem with Lagos state collectiing loans from world bank to construct roads, and still collect tolls on the road despite taxing the people heavily, then why should you see a problem with JB funding part of the 2nd Niger bridge, and eventually collect tolls on it?

If the previous administrations of IBB, Abacha, or OBJ had decided to award a contract on that the same way this contract has been awarded, we easterners would have clapped for that person the way we're Clapping for GEJ now.

Let the west support who they want to support, the east has decided where to pitch it's tent. I'm still waiting for you to tell me the administration that has brought as much federal project to the east as GEJ has brought.

I successfully submitted my application, but my passport isn't showing. I've opened the aknowledgement slip, but there's no passport there. Pls what's the way out?

Please I need to be clear on something here, who are those re-taking the test? Cos I did mine yesterday with the second portal and scored 91%. Any need retaking the test again?

aresa:
Toll or no toll, Lekki bridge was built by the people of Lagos

Lekki bridge and toll road belongs to the people of Lagos

Tolls collected by the people of Lagos state stays in Lagos state to fund similar projects in Lagos state to benefit the people of Lagos state..


On the other hand--

2nd NB belongs to JB for 30 years

Money collected from your men, women and children wont benefit your region because it goes straight to Germany

And after the 30 years, the bridge still won't belong to any of your states, it goes back to the people of Nigeria..

Basically, your region just paid tolls for 30 years to build that bridge for the rest of Nigeria even though you fund that bridge with your money and sweat...


You are not making any sense.

Why are you giving the con man credit for what you are going to pay for?

My guy as I said earlier, leave the east to support who they want to support. You keep hitting on the bridge. Ok, so Lekki road belongs to Lekki concession company and not to the people of lagos. Work is still ongoing by CCECC (a chinese company) on Lagos - badagry expressway, if you get to alafia, you'd see that a toll centre has already been fixed there, so are you saying we should stop giving the lagos state government credit for the road, because the chinese guys would eventually collect toll on it. The tolling on the 2nd Niger bridge is not even a confirmed issue yet.
Let's even leave the bridge aside. Please tell me one ruler that has completed or started more projects in the east than GEJ. I've listed many of the projects started or completed by his administration earlier in this tread. If you want, I can list them out again. Go to isukwato in Abia state, you'd see a beautiful modern secondary school built by sure-p in ovim, and another school renovated by sure-p, you'd also see that the road to okigwe from akara, is under construction (there's a big gully there, which the contractors are fixing). Also, the road from ozara to ebonyi through acha is also ongoing. All these are in one isiukwato local government o. Please don't sit in lagos and say GEJ duped the east. For the first time, there is federal presence in the east

aresa:
1. Nothing is on going unless maybe you are talking about JB yard and not 2nd NB?

2. GEJ promised to build you a bridge, but he is not building you any bridge, you are building your own bridge with your money via tolling by JB for 30 long years.

3. To make matters worse, the money collected by JB from your men, women and children doesn't stay in your community, it goes directly to JB then forwarded to Germany.

That money is coming out of your pocket for 30 years so stop fooling yourself, GEJ duped you...

The same way Fashola duped lagosians in the lekki toll plaza and Ikoyi link bridge abi?

My dear westerners, please don't blame the easterners for supporting GEJ, if you don't like him, the igbo's like him. If you're wondering why they like him, please tell me the ruler (either military or civilian) that has brought as much development to the Southeast, as GEJ has done. I remember the days when late Sani Abacha brought down Ibeto to uplift Dangote by making him the sole importer of rice.

These are some of the developments GEJ has brought to the east; Enugu airport, ongoing
second Niger bridge, on going road project from head bridge Onitsha to enugu, esterblishment of Federal university in Ebonyi, Ongoing Enugu Aba Port harcourt road, Ebonyi rice processing mill, ferlizer plant in Abia and Anambra, Onitsha-owerri
high-way was completed by GEJ, renovation Imo airport, supported our business men and
women (innoson has gotten huge support from this govt. Now we see innoson motors all over nigeria), the good work done on benin ore road (which OBJ spent billions on but couldn't deliver) has made travelling to the east less hectic.

Please mention one ruler that has done more for igbos than GEJ has done.

Westerners love Okorocha because he's an APC man. If Okorocha was PDP or APGA would the west like him? How many westerners even talk or commend the humility and achievements of Peter Obi as governor?

Are westerners aware that Okorocha employed graduates as teachers in imo state, promised to pay them 20k monthly, but is owing them for up to 5months now? Are westerners aware that Okorocha reduced the school fees of Imolites in IMSU, and also reduced the number of imolites who get admitted to IMSU yearly?

Please westerners. If GEJ didn't favour your rejoin, he favoured the east. Leave him for them.

congrats, i just took mine and scored 88% but am bout to ask a very dumb question so plz, no insults! you remember how hard it was for the portal to load init? my issue is, now that av finally succeeded in taking and passing the test, do i simply log out of the portal or just close the tab? i know its dumb but your genuine answer will go a long way to help coz i know how i suffered to scale through, make one yeye mistake no come disqualify me... God bless you.

Do any of the above. No fear. When they said your score has been recorded, they mean your name and score has been recorded in the list of people that will be contacted at the appropriate time.

santori:
oga you are the one that is out of tune with the current political landscape, let me give you a proper lecture on it, I will forgive you for your naivety

for your information Buhari single handedly garnered over 12million votes in 2011 as a loner, no political
structure on ground, with no form of presence
(men on ground) in some geopolitical zones of
the country. but right now all of this have been
taken care of, he now have supporters in all the
geopolitical zones of the country, no thanks to
the the presence of APC in every parts of the
country.

what you don't still understand is that jonathan's
loss is Buhari's gain, Jonathan can never get the
kind of votes he got in South West as he did in
2011, so also he cant get the votes he got in
some parts of the north in 2011 this time around,
even in his stronghold of south south, he is
unpopular with some groups, remember the way
he handled the EPZ project to be cited in warri,
you dont need a rocket science to know that the
itsekiri people will rather want him out of power
becos of the presidential backing he is giving his
kinsmen in warri.


another former stronghold is Edo, he is so hated
there that the mention of jonathan irks them, you
may want to know why, the trouble he instigated
in the state through the few members of the PDP
in edo state house of assembly, the people of edo
state were so disgusted that the Oba of benin
called for a town hall meeting, where a strong
warning was issued to the PDP in the state, as
for river state, even though jonathan will come
tops, you should know he wont have a hundred
percent votes as it was before. just sit back and
take a critical look at the present political
landscape of the country, take a critical look at
the possible effect of jonathan's lukewarm
attitude to issues in some parts of the country.
do you think the people of the northeast ( the
zone he had a very significant amount of votes in
the north) do you think they will ever vote for him
again after when he couldnt save them daily bombings. just have an unbiased review of the
present state of the country and see if jonathan is
still popular accross the country

to have a clearer graphical understanding of the political equations go grab a copy of the country's map

GEJ is hated in edo? Uncle u can lie o!
In the voice of an edo man," na oshomole we sabi o, we no dey follow hausa, nothing concern we and hausa"

I ask this as a result of something I noticed this afternoon. I came online, went into the politics section, and saw an interesting thread - 30 achievements of GEJ as president (or something like that). I said to myself, "wow! For the first time, something about the achievements of GEJ on nairaland. I was surprised that one could list up to 30 achivements of a man as disliked as GEJ, before now I was used to seeing different anti GEJ posts. However, I couldn't read it then cos I was busy, I return to nairaland later in the day, and to my greatest surprise, I couldn't find the post, all I saw were the usual threads chanting GMB songs.
So please guys, do think nairaland is biased towards a particular party or candidate?

Please note; I'm a neutral and may not even vote because I don't believe in the present set of politicians we have. I don't believe in either PDP or APC or GEJ or GMB. I just feel things should be balanced.

Hello. Pls I'd really appreciate if someone can forward the past questions to marvinodih@gmail.com. Thanks.
