Chiefpriest1:
Let them fight themselves. Does anybody remember how Dickson became governor?

My people in the southwest will say the whip used against the first wife is on the hanger,waiting for the second wife. That is what has happened.

If Dickson likes let him become mama peace's official cobbler or shoe shiner, he's not getting a second term. That is if they dont even sack him the way they sacked Sylva who was also a useless governor by the way

Your head dey there.
While I would not want us to abandon Dickson to the daft phd holder and his power drunk wife, it is instructive that we do not forget the crap that yielded Dickson.

arewaempire:
Rubbish report.

unlike Yar'adua who left us with a morronic,corrupt,lying kleptomaniac as vice president, Buhari has a much more credible, intelligent VP in Osinbajo who would make a fine president in the absence of Buhari.

Sai Buhari ... Dead or Alive

Your head dey there.

Renowned Lagos lawyer and former National President, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Olisa Agbakoba, on Friday accused the candidates of the leading political parties of not addressing fundamental problems confronting the country in their campaigns.

Agbakoba insisted that other than corruption, power generation, developing non-oil revenue sources, job creation and other major issues that have dominated the political discuss, Nigerians ought to be discussing how the country can evolve a national order.

He contended that instead of the seeming personality clash between the leading presidential candidates; President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP and General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC, those aspiring to lead Nigeria must tell Nigerians about how they hoped to address the problems responsible for the fault lines among Nigerians.

These were contained in a letter he addressed to chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mua'zu and the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Oyegun.
Drawing inference from the European order attained by the Westphalia treaty, which brought an end to 80 years of debilitating war between Spain and Dutch, Agbakoba said "Order is important and critical to political stability."

He said: "There will be no way the 2015 will be successful if we do not address the issue of how we live together. There is no way the 2015 elections will be successful if Nigeria is unable to resolve the impending doom that the likes of Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi and Pastor Tunde Bakare have been talking about."

Describing most of the issues being discussed as "non-issues," Agbakoba said in 60 years, Nigeria had not progressed because it had not had leaders that were truly committed to the type of social revolution created by Mutsuhito Meiji in Japan between 1866 and 1869.

"Nigeria is a nation with diverse ethnic groups. A national order is urgently needed to manage our diversity. It is my view that Nigeria can only resolve the existing conflagration of diversity if we ask and seek answers to the questions that must be answered by all of us Nigerians," he said.

According to him, two main questions must be answered by all Nigerians: "One, do we want to remain as one country? Two, if the answer is yes, under what conditions?

"I respectfully suggest that the late Bola Ige's questions are well framed as the issues we need to resolve to create a national order. It is in this light that the late Aka-Bashorun, my most illustrious predecessor as NBA president, articulated the collective disappointment of Nigerians by making the call for Sovereign National Conference as far back as the 1980s, but it is regrettable that all conferences organised to discuss Nigeria's national order have been unsuccessful.

Oildichotomy:
They're not that smart and IT-complaint to embark on such a hacking exercise judging from the leaders they have so far churned out. They can probably make do with the typical rigging (Stuffing and massive thumbprinting of ballot boxes) and all that business! [/size][/color]

I have a lot of issues with Tinubu’s ways but one thing you cannot accuse him of is his choice of leaders. Especially when you compare it with the thugs and dullards PDP dumps on us.
A party that gifts clowns and thugs like Wike and Jona Han cannot be taken serious. You can call tinubu many thanks hints but there is no way the likes of Fayose and Wike can be governors in APC.

femliany:
Has the Otuoke Guy contributed anything to a relevant journal on zoology before?

A man that cannot even read a written speech with any level of coherence and confidence.
Na journal you dey talk about.

A party that fields Nyesom Wike has the guts to accuse others of illiteracy?
Same party that made Wike an education minister accuses others of illiteracy.
Very funny.

What exactly did he say that is news? The man was just stating the obvious.

yungcyrus:
Chai! Show us the full picx..

Certified pervert.
You want to self-service with it?

Can we ban these sort of silly topics from making the FP?
This is a new year and the silliness exhibited last year on this site needs to change.

lalaboi:
We were Kaned yesterday abeg. . That guy too much. . Salute.

I am seriously doubting we can hold off City.

Also, From the bottom of my heart. . . Bleep Lampard. Dude is on a mission to stop us from winning the league just so he can have the last laugh. .

my oga,

Why I dey get malware alert any time i tried launching that una site in recent days?
wetin happen?

dawhizkid1:
You don't have to hurl insults to make a point, you know that, right?

sincere apologies.
I have deleted that part.
Happy new year to you!

Noah13:
Cesar na bad guy, the way he frustrates team these days, makes them go all out on the right.

If we can get a RB that does his job as well as Cesar does, then teams would be forced into the middle. Get a good DM(e.g Schneiderlin) to partner Matic in the middle.

With this kind of solidity on both flanks and in the middle - we are going to make life hard for any team.

Jose has a good enough squad to win a treble. If he does not win, it shows his limitation as a manager.
All this buy, buy and more buy. Abi na shoprite?

chrisley024:
How that old ref neglected this is beyond me.

Now over to the FA.

and Mourinho had the guts and liver to be pointing for a free kick.
What if Cahill broke the lad's ribs or even spin.
Mourinho is a shameless thug. Even with all his titles and medals, he lacks dignity.
I wonder wetin Wenger wey no dey win title go come do.

dawhizkid1:
You're that one making conclusions. I'm just saying Cech doesn't easily concede 5, and there are facts to prove that. I agree the defense let him down, heck the whole team let him down, but I still don't like the way he conceded the goals and I reckon Cech would save one or two of those, especially the first goal.

I don't agree with your argument.
Does Courtois concede 5 goals easily?
Absence makes the heart fond.
Cech era is gone. Get used to the new era.

A40:
Bros there is no goal Cech would have caught. Placing ati finesse buruku! As a keeper you just pray it goes wide

Jose is awfully quiet on the kick to Kane's back that happened right under his nose

He claimed not to have seen it but is busy spreading propaganda about Fazio's mistimed tackle at Hazard.
Jose is a egotistical narcissistic Arrow. He makes it so easy to be disliked. As a football person, he is a despicable character.

coogar:
what about oscar?
he was doing bodyguard for kane throughout - he coulda fouled him & get a yellow card for the team.

maybe he is practicing to be a night club bouncer.

Neither can Sambo win his LGA not to talk of the north for PDP.

Ibime:
I no fit laugh. Peanut butter midfield.

Make I vacate before band boys show jare.

I don already tell the resident DJ to arrange one special dedication for you, as my special Bros.

God cannot be mocked neither can he be bribed. If you sow clulessness and ineptitude, you will reap failure.
It does not matter how many pentecostal pastors tell you otherwise and allow you to campaign from their pulpit. Those days of manipulation are gone.

chidexy:
If a riverine man is elected as the governor of Rivers state, then it means an Ijaw man would occupy the presidency, Rivers and Bayelsa States and the deputy governorship of Delta state.

So you see the wisdom of the President in supporting Wike?

Is this the kind of stupid wisdom that GEJ possesses?
Did you actually process that thought before typing it?
If that was the case,why not find an ogoni man? Or is ogoni riverine?

nairaman66:
The National PDP structure has been compromised internally and needs serious deliverance!

Fielding touts and political thugs can only cause the party more woes!

The problem is that the man has the state party structure in his back pockets. So there is little the national exco can do about it.
If they try it, he will move to Labour Party with his structure and still win.
It is the same thing with that drug baron that PDP is fielding for senatorial elections in Ogun State.
Where were the likes of Horsefall when Wike was arranging and collapsing the PDP state structure into his GDI?

Nigerian politicians will sink to any depth to achieve their thieving desires.
They will even wish death on their opponents jsut to have their way.
Yet when they get there, they leave a trail of ineptitude, cluelessness and a total lack of inspiration.

kendrick9:
he is a pastor ffs

Pastors are not meant to attend social events?

I guess he only came into the hall after Olamide had sang Story for the gods.
There is no way a sane person will sit in a room and applaud him singing that sexist song.
Unless prof does not understand yoruba language.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, has named Mr. Kingsley Otuaro, a commissioner at the state Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (DESOPADEC) and a nominee of former militant leader, Mr. Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, as his running mate in the 2015 governorship election.

According to THEWILL, the PDP submitted Otuaro’s name and data to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) just in time to beat the Boxing Day deadline.

Otuaro, an Ijaw, emerged despite opposition from the Isokos, another major ethnic group in Delta South, who had long been coveting the deputy governorship slot of the party going by the unwritten zoning arrangement of the ruling PDP in the state.

Before Friday, political wrangling in the state had stalemated all efforts to pick a running mate for Okowa.

Local sources said a tense atmosphere had been created in the state following the outcome of all the PDP primaries and the political undercurrent that took place during the gubernatorial primaries that produced Okowa as the standard bearer of the party.

Sources said the decision to choose a suitable running mate had become a herculean task for Okowa and his team owing to the political alignment and realignment going on in the state.

It learnt that the gubernatorial candidate was being careful not to choose a running mate from the wrong camp so as not to jeopardise his chances in the general election as the ethnic groups scheming for the position are threatening to spring a surprise if the choice did not favour them.

The calibre of persons now holding the political ace in the southern district and posing as kingmakers had given some prominent leaders in the state cause for concern and that was one factor that stalled the process until Friday.

What seemed to be a simple political arithmetic to determine who emerged as running mate turned messy as two major ethnic nationalities in the Delta senatorial district, Ijaw and Isoko ethnic groups, have remained at daggers-drawn over the position.

It was gathered that the committee saddled with the responsibility of choosing a running mate for Okowa had found it extremely difficult to make a head way following the plethora of names being submitted to it from the two major ethnic groups scheming for the plum job.

Okowa was also said to have rejected several names suggested to him.
After his emergence as the PDP’s candidate, the Isokos ethnic nationality had presumed the deputy governorship position would ordinarily be left for them going by political calculation that Ijaws have taken their turn in the person of Senator James Manager who won the Delta South senatorial district race.

The Isoko, Ijaw and Itsekiri had formed an alliance to which they rotate political offices in the Delta South among the ethnic nationalities. Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan became governor in 2007 following the ‘G3’ alliance and quest for power shift.

Manager took the Ijaw turn in the Senate in 2003 and has perpetually retained the position for 12 years running. He again took what is supposed to be the turn of Itsekiri in the just concluded senatorial primaries when Uduaghan who was his main rival suddenly quit the contest.

Understandably, the Isokos were the next in line to be empowered with any prominent position coming to the Delta South but alas the Ijaws had bargained for the job with their vote for Okowa in the primaries and have been lobbying the power-that-be in Abuja to ensure that they get the position.

Sources said the governorship candidate had zeroed his mind on picking a running mate from Isoko prior to the primaries but the outcome of the PDP primaries where it was widely believed that some forces from Isoko ethnic nationality worked against him during the contest may have made him change his mind.

Tompolo, who is believed to have helped in swaying votes for Okowa, alongside Senator Manager, who maternally is from Isoko, are elements that pulled the strings for an Ijaw running mate notwithstanding the political imbalance it would cause in the Delta south senatorial district.

Recycled story

BlackBaron:
So we are basically stuck between an incompetent Jonathan and another aspirant whose former stock in trade was to leave a litany of questionable statements.

Welcome to Nigeria...where the citizens are staking their hearts on probably 2 useless candidates.

Two useless candidates but we have to choose the lesser of two evils and it is certainly not the brain dead inept clown sitting in Aso rock at the moment. We can not just reward current failure with another chance to fail even more. It just does not make common sense. I am really no fan of Buhari but we really do not have an option of keeping the present occupant. The man is not only clueless bit is unable to surround himself with good counsel.

McSterling:
Of course, Abacha stole. The General was only being courteous and diplomatic since it was Abacha's remembrance. I believe in his heart of hearts he knew Abacha indeed stole aplenty.

diplomacy over a dead criminal? Is that how he wants to fight corruption?

Frankiss44:
Exactly what I keep telling these fools but they won't listen.... Politics is all about self interest... APC can't fool me with this "change" slogan..... Because if truly apc is here for change, Buhari won't be flying the ticket of a party that has Fashola and other young and vibrant tested leaders.

I agree with you but the problem is that if we do not kick out this clueless inept fellow presently at the top, we will be rewarding failure and a repeat of this will take us to depths unimagined. If apc see us refuse to reward failure, they will sit up when they arrive at the seating power.

Oga diri gi mma!

As anti-GEJ as I am, Buhari has to explain what he meant by this interview or better still recant. There is no defence for this buffoonery. Abacha took stealing to a new high. His records are unsurpassed even after his death.
