As the group turned to leave, the gunman allegedly called after them saying the
jihadists only wanted to kill Kenyans and Americans, not Britons, pleaded with
Amber to convert to Islam and begged “please forgive me, we are not

Interesting the jihadist was preaching to the little boy to be like him!

PoliticsJonathan Is Considering Sovereign National Conference: What Is Your Take? by MightySparrow(op): 7:32pm On Sep 15, 2013
2015: Jonathan May Convene
Sovereign National Conference
User Rating: / 0
Poor Best RATE
THERE are indications that President Goodluck Jonathan
may soon consider the option of a national sovereign
national conference to douse political tension ahead 2015
presidential elections.
A group of political leaders from the South East and South
South geopolitical zones were said to have prevailed on the
President to wield it as master stroke that would put a stop
to the crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and
the current political instability.
The group, made up of hardcore supporters of the
President, said immediate convocation of a Sovereign
National Conference among the 389 ethnic nationalities,
would douse the tension in the polity and cause combatants
in the political arena to pause and think as all component
groups in the country take advantage of the platform, where
the basis of Nigeria’s existence will be “fully discussed and
agreed.”
They are also advising the President that, in case his
convoying a SNC makes it difficult for him to run for second
term in 2015, he should work to hand over to a President
from either the Middle Belt (North Central) or the South East
geopolitical zone.
The memo, which is receiving “serious considerations”
from President Jonathan, also said the SNC is needed to put
a stop to the “blackmail and balkanisation” of the PDP, and
give the President “the needed Plan B and C whereby he
would shame his critics and stop the domination of
Presidential politics by any group or region.”
Presidency sources in the know of the “strong memo to
the President” canvases that President Jonathan should
“think seriously of convoking Sovereign National
Conference in which he will be the one to midwife it. It will
bring out a “We, the people...” constitution, which would be
an answer to the agitations of Nigerians for a forum to
decide on how they want to live. After the SNC, if he
contests and wins, he will be a national hero.”
The group, however, said the move would be the best way
to strengthen and deepen Nigerianism. “This makes sense
because the South East has not produced a Nigerian
President. They have always been denied this opportunity.
Only recently, they were allowed to get the office of the
Chief of Army Staff and leadership of key Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs).
“For the minorities of the Middle Belt, they have always
succeeded in keeping Nigeria one. If the office of the
President is aimed at satisfying the North, it should be to
the Middle Belt minorities and not go to those who have not
only produced dictators and a civilian President.”
Though President Jonathan is yet to give his reply to the
contents of the memo “sent by some of his loyal
supporters”, he is studying it and would soon give his
decision to them.
Jonathan has said that while he does not oppose a SNC,
he feels that because of constitutional issues, it is better for
the nation to have a national dialogue. But the new push,
which is quickly gaining converts within his administration,
is a direct move to permanently change the political history
of the nation.
On Thursday, August 30, 2013, President Jonathan
affirmed the belief of his administration in the rights of the
nation’s constituent parts to come together to discuss how
they will continue to live in peace and unity.
The President told a delegation of The Patriots, which
submitted a memorandum, which, among others, demanded
the convocation of a sovereign national conference to
discuss Nigeria’s future, that the issue of Nigerians coming
together to discuss their future should not be out of place.
He admitted that there have been discussions within his
government on how to create an acceptable and workable
platform for a national dialogue that will reinforce the ties
that bind the country’s many ethnic nationalities and ensure
that Nigeria’s immense diversity continues to be a source
of strength and greatness.
According to Jonathan, “the limitation we have is that the
Constitution appears to have given that responsibility to the
National Assembly. I have also been discussing the matter
with the leadership of the National Assembly. We want a
situation where everyone will key into the process and
agree on the way forward.”
Leader of The Patriots, Prof Nwabueze stated that the
sovereign national conference should be convened before
2015 elections because the 1999 Constitution was not
prepared by the people but a schedule to Decree 24.
Calling for a new constitution derived from the people, the
renowned constitutional lawyer noted: “We have done our
own research and we have in this country 389 ethnic
nationalities. We need to bring these nationalities around a
conference table to discuss how we are going to live
together as one country – in peace, in stability, in security –
as one country with the aim of achieving national unity. But
as of today, we are not a nation yet. We are a state. This
conference should be convened as a matter of priority as
soon as possible, in any event before the 2015 general
elections.”
On the position of the National Assembly that there is no
need for a sovereign conference since there is an elected
National Assembly in place, Nwabueze said: “It is important
that what the National Assembly is putting forward is their
powers under sections 8&9, which is to alter the
Constitution. Power to alter is not as important as the
power to abolish what you are altering and to replace it
completely. It must be directly from the people and that is
the position of, at least, 85 per cent of the countries of the
world.
“If you read Section 1(1) of the Decree these are all
preambles to that decree and the 1999 Constitution that you
are talking about, it is a schedule to Decree 24. Repeal the
decree and the constitution will disappear and you enact a
brand new constitution, which would derive its authorities
from the people. That was done in 1963 when we adopted
the Republican Constitution to replace the Independence
Constitution. That 1960 Constitution was also a schedule to
British Order-In -Council just as the 1999 Constitution, is a
schedule to the Decree 24.”

If Igbo are suffering now in the north, in saw they are being molested, in South Africa they are being killed, in Europe and Americas they are many in jails. We should know they are only being tolerated in Nigeria.. If Nigeria divides, religion will hunt them in the north,; standardization and taxes will harass them in South West; because of greed, they fight long wars with SS. All the bragging s will cease except for a rebranding.

The stupid Igbo braggers said they own Yoruba land and own Lagos why can' t they protest or carry their cutlasses now? One Dr. Samuel Okafor a self acclaimed first class history graduate from only God knows which university wrote a stinker about ffk and yorubas the other day. Is it not now glaring that Igbo are just bunch of bewildered wanderers. A people with no origin and who do not know where they are, and where they are going? It amuses me when I see there write - ups on NL and few of them brag. Nigeria is a unit they suffer humiliation what if Nigeria is divided? Where are you going to claim? You will go back to your Israel sha.

Christianity EtcRe: The Bible Or The Quran, Which Is The Word Of God by MightySparrow: 11:15pm On Sep 06, 2013
I have read in this blog that Allah gave Jesus a book as Muslims claim. I will like a Muslim to tell me the content of the book and what happened to the book why it is no more in circulation.
Bible is only book that has reasonably given us an account of creation, the prophecies about the world events and vivid descriptions of heaven and the final destiny of the world. Koran may be an addition but the few chapters I have read show s a marked departure from general principles of the Bible. I think the Bible is more informative.
