Of course, that agbaya Daniel is bad news, and is a great representation of "free" elections being stolen from the people on election day

As the elections approach, will Mr. or is it "Prince" Obi contest?

Aw, the 1994 team. Now this is what we can recycle for Naija instead of useless politicians.

That squad was one of the best of all times from Africa.

SIA1, lets go!!!

9ijaMan:
That's your own opinion which you are very much entitled to.
By the way who be your candidate then?

Certainly not Major General Muhammadu Buhari

Not in this new century

Did you guys think that your government had any real influence in the world/among world leaders?

I mean, Cheney, a fmr US VP?

Please

Again, useless maps of bullshyt

Let the oil finish, every drop can go.

Look at the Muslim states like UAE and Qatar, see how they have used their oil wealth responsibly. Yet Naija folks from Katsina to Kwara are busy booking flights to Saudi for hajj.

Local people with inferiority complex

No to Buhari. No to 1983 in 2010

Do not put Yakubu

chyz:
Amaechi has to be the Governor of the Year!

2nd that

Blazay:
Igbo peeps already promoting their kidnapping trade on NL for the holidays.

Tell them say you nor meet us for house.

Who wants to travel all the way to Tinapa to grab a good time in Naija?

For less than 100,000k, I can organize a classic joint of a resort in my backyard. . . with correct catering/wining and dining services. Security guaranteed with correct sleeping quarters for my guests. Live band and all.

Correct crowd too. . . instead of catching ring worm in some pool not washed for centuries in some Tinapa of a resort.

Besides, to have a good time in Naija, you need your kind of crowd. . . not yoro-yoro Alaba/Aba/Onitsha vacationing traders pissing all ova the whole facility and excreting all over the flower beds/blowing their nostrils all over the curtains in the bar areas.

Good lord!

What is this rubbish for?

Well, I guess we are continuing with the recycling of old skool politicians that jump from one party to another. Anyway, the only tangible thing Okorocha said was that he'll nominate Ohakim as ambassador to Afghanistan LOL!!!

jarkbauer:
According to a highly placed source, former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme will head the committee that would screen those shortlisted and come up with what the source called “ a level headed, focused, acceptable candidate who also has the capacity to step into Atiku’s shoes come 2015” Top on the list is [b]madam Ngozi okonjo Iweala [/b]others who may will likely make the list are Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, former Information minister, Emeka Chikelu, Ken Nnnamani, and Charles Soludo

Emeka Chikelu and Ike Ekweremadu are listed to add to the number sheh?

I thought one would first clinch the ticket of their party before "announcing" their Vice.

so whats the latest on ibiam inter?

Total re-branding!!!!

excanny:
We should scrap off the House of Representatives whenever Nigeria decides to write a new constitution. Nigeria can not afford to operate a bi-cameral legislature. It just an avenue to squander the country's resources.

The U.S that we were blindly copying have a more better and affluent economy to operate an expensive 2 houses of Congress.

In Israel, all they have is just one chamber of lawmakers, and Nigeria is not doing better than them in good policy formulations.

Your first point (scrapping off house) is possible, especially since the majority of those men and women were not elected and are common criminals.

Your point about the US is wrong however. The bicameral stance in that country, as well as everything political, is followed by rule of law, and has the people's interest at stake.

Those who run for office in Nigeria could never run for office anywhere else, or rather, on the same conditions and inspections from the people found in serious countries.

DapoBear:
If you cannot accomplish anything in four years, then you probably shouldn't be running for public office, imo.

Thank you.

The CBN is talking to us, the people of Naija, to do something to save the nation, or at the worst, our land (village, kindred, town, region).

Those legislators and state assembly men have shown they are incompetent, lazy, selfish, and fools at 40. As a poster has already said, they are plotting on adding 10 more states with 30 more sinators to match.

Andre Uweh:
Do not take this post that the governors are confused as serious. They have made it clearly known to all that they are for GEJ. Ohanaeze does not play double standards, their support for GEJ is 100 percent.

With the current Anambra and Enugu governors present, there is some hope. GEJ is preferable for Naija more than going decades into the past with IBB/Buhari and status quo Atiku.

But Mr. Uweh, for the 50th time, your Ohaneze is irrelevant

On one hand its true that elements from the Nigerian Film industry are making substantial profit. It's also true that we produce more movies than the majority of the nations in the UN.

On the other hand, majority of our movies are poorly produced, directed, the acting sub-par, the costume manager/casting manager/and location manager poor in their managing, and the list goes on.

Reasons why the film industry may be attracting interest from Brazil, and why it is remarkably profitable for some is a lil complicated.

Yet, one reason for the profit is that Naija is behind in quality film producing, and since no one in Bollywood or Hollywood will show our culture, we are ready to buy original/bootleg copies that show someone speaking broken, wearing agbada, and running around in a village. We don't necessarily have standards for people in government, not to talk of film quality, so hey, it's all good, as long as we see things familiar to us.

Brazil, of course they are not interested in our film quality, but the general curiosity of making a $100,000 profit using $5,000

Giving the slot of Vice to an Igbo wont solve the neglect you find in the SE/SS. Have Igbo people turned so gullible and cowardly that the offer of 2nd is equated with victory?

Every election since 1999, those from the SE have had no vision whatsoever to promote the well-being of their people (and Naija at large).

Instead, it is "Wait till 2003, wait for 2007, wait for 2011, wait for 2015", and so on and so forth. At that rate an Ghanian will become president of Naija before an Igbo person.

The governors (including the already confused Orji) are confused, Ohaneze confused for a record 4th election, Igbo senators/reps confused, and you wonder why finalizing projects in the East (aka Int'l Airport, roads, bridges) take forever, and why Northerners and Yorubas like to promise comical items to Easterners.

Easterners, organize among yourselves for this election, and hold your leaders accountable

He not only owes Ojukwu apology, but also all the people of Abia for hijacking their mandate, mis-governing the state for nearly 4 years, encouraging the usual corruption and election rigging, and showing the world how useless Africans/African leadership can be.

He claims it was Abia people who told him to become a political harlot eh?

Shame
