How much can your unbelief change the truth? |
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 monsters.” Interesting the jihadist was preaching to the little boy to be like him! |

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.” |

Eggons want to be governor by 2015 and they are making other tribes their enemies. Wisdom cries out loud in the streets. |
musiwa1j: Amachie is an pure Igbo who change his name to YorubaI think this fellow that posted this thread Is mad with Amechi for his choice of name. people bear Arabic, English, Portuguese, Israeli names. Anyway, I give you permission to do a change of name for him. |
Controversy: What is this 1 talking? smh!about deluded Igbo people |
Controversy: Name one big man in yoruba land you can't trace his source of wealth from govtHarry Akande, Bode Akindele, Deinde Fernandez, Kashe Lawal, Wahab Iyanda Folawiyo,, Rasak Okoya (Eleganza), , Subomi Balogun (FCMB), Oba Otudeko, Tayo Aderiokun (GTB), Elizade, Nathaniel Idowu....,. What are these people selling to government? |
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. .. |
what is the big deal, Christianity is first and ahead. It is the mother of modern culture and know - how. what is special about water and Lagos? |
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. |
people destroying party! poverty development party papa deceive pikin This house must collapse insha Allah This umbrella must have holes In Jesus name. |
This clearly shows that Book haram is not northern agenda but some enemies of humanity at work. May the souls of the departed rest is perfect peace. |
Good. computer cloning |
What will happen when GEJ wins in 2015? We have seen the worst of Book Haram. If you think GEJ is a fool let any Book Haram or any region forment trouble when he is not looking for any other term, you will know khaki no be Leda. |
Prof. Jerry Gana once said, ' if you are a manager, manage well.....' If Fashola is a dictator let him dictate well. |
I like the person of Ladoja but not his cheap PDP - Accord political statements. I thought he is an engineer no matter which one. He is a good. man and he did well in his tenure but his PDP political shylock who. would. in PDP tradition not allow him to do his best. However, to want to discredit ACN achievements is not welcome. |
