Aloy+Emeka:
Why did she travel to Abia?

Big B1:
The strongest strength of IBB still remains his natural ability to empower the unity among all Nigerian citizens.

Therefore, attempting to blackmail IBB using religion is absolutely foolish and a very weak strategy to label the image of this incredible leader.

If you know one or two things about IBB, you'll know that:
The problem in Niger Delta will be resolved in less than 5 hrs meeting with IBB.(Why not 1 minute? you and IBB think the level of awareness in ND is same as 17 yrs ago? just shut up)

The crisis in Jos wouldn't have happened if IBB was in charge.(I agree with you on this one, maybe you just confirmed he is the one behind the crisis as is fast becoming public knowledge, afterall if the main troublemaker, decides to end hostilities, sure it will stop)

IBB has enormous experience when it comes to leading or resolving difficult problems.(Like the one he created by handing over to an illegitmate interim govt, after an endless transition program, after wasting billions. By the way can you tell us what happened to the 1548 massive party secretariat he built in the different LGAs for SDP and NCR in a programme he designed to fail ab initio?)
His close friends call him "the troubleshooter".(evil one,Troublemaker who is a genius only in his fantasy world)

My best part
"If you look at the tradition of PDP after the zoning of the offices, if for any reason, any of them resigned, then we would go to that zone to pick. That’s why when Ogbulafor resigned, the party had to go to the South-east to pick the current chairman. When Etteh resigned as Speaker of the House of Representatives, the party had to go to the South west. The party did not just go to the south.
So, if anybody is making that argument, then, of course he can only say, then the North-west, then nobody from the North- central, or the North east, because the PDP operates a six zonal structure."

Zones in Nigeria
1. North East (states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, Yobe)

2. North West (states: Kaduna, Katsina, Kano, Kebbi, Sokoto, Jigawa, Zamfara)
3. North Central (states: Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau) & FCT not a state

4. South East (states: Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi)

5. South West (states: Lagos, Ekiti, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, Ogun)

6. South South (states: Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa)



By my last check only Aliyu Gusau should talk about zoning

emmydee:
why dont we just give IBB a chance.
He has insisted he will create a change and has made so much noise about it
if we can forgive obasanjo, and others who have wasted our resources in the past,
what is it that we hold against this man IBB that others have not done.

Abegi, make we let him be.

[b]my tribe--yoruba.

our people are dirty esp d babes.the guys are better.
our girls open their legs easily no wonder why people say lagos girls(meaning yoruba girls) are cheap.i know ph girls are bad too but none can be compared to our girls.
our people are extravagant.imagine someone whose pay is less than 50k staging owambe party to block a whole street and spending borrowed money in d process
we often hate other tribes--that y we use d word omo ibo.every abt the other tribes esp ibo is bad.we think we are better but we are one and d same.
our boys no dey fine.na benue boys dey fine pass,followed by fulani boys,ibo(arrogant sha), and some other tribes b4 the yorubas.
our girls are not one of the finest either.fulani first,ibo second,middle belt,and then yorubas.
our girls age faster.a yoruba girl of 18 looks like she is 25 .such a girls will then look 36 when she is 25.
i dont know if we could trace stretch marks to our yoruba foods.most yoruba babes do have dangerous strtch marks.i dated an ibo girl and i felt like licking her laps--it was stretch mark free.damn.
our yoruba babes have punanies that smell dangerously.UnCloth a yoruba babe and u will loose your appetite for sex.i will advice u keep your air freshner close to u[/b]

Dede1:
I pray for quick disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria. Even a man who claimed to have Phd is setting the truth on its head. Mr. GEJ, it is hypothesis before theorem and also policy before process. I now believed Nigeria is worse than thought.

We should remove quota system on the officer cadets heading to NDA and re-introduce it when selecting the NCOs. Does this scenario represent the ridiculous quota system and federal character which GEJ continues to support?

GEJ looks imbecilic trying to defend his flouting section 7-2C of PDP constitution. I do not weep for Nigeria rather I pray for its death.

~Bluetooth:
What arguement ??

~Bluetooth:
What does jonathan knows about pdp that he's yarning rubbish ? He had never been anybody in pdp but just an opportunist right from his days as deputy governor.so he should just keep shut when those that know more than him about pdp affairs are talking.what contribution did he make to the party when the days were rough or how the party grew to become what it is now. silly opportunist

MetalGong4:
^^^^^^^

The problem with na_so and Jonathan is that they don't know the difference between creek/Tompolo government and democratic government. . . . But never mind;Ohakim and Jonathan will be disgraced in this election.

Onlytruth:
Goodluck Jonathan is emerging as a worse dictator than all dictators in our history.
Yes I have to bring him in because Ohakim does not command the police or the SSS. I hope you don't think we are fools here.

These gentlemen paid for the venue but were prevented from using the venue they paid for.

Stuff like these only happened during military rule.

Even IBB was able to conduct an election considered by many to be the best in Nigeria's history. Meanwhile he was a soldier. Why can't Jonathan who is a civilian allow freedom of association? Is that how we will have a free and fair election next year? The election is already being rigged!

It is true that the presidential election was generally seento be free, fair and peaceful.  However,there was in fact a huge array of election malpractices virtually in all thestates of the federation before the actual voting began.  There were authenticated reports of theelection malpractices against party agents, officials of the National ElectoralCommission and also some members of the electorate

guddsid:
IBB did the best thing for Nigeria , if you don't know go check the history of this nation , MKO would have been our worst president , the guy was a tyrant and a thief , fela sef talk am for International thief thief

Senator Kanti Bello, Deputy Director-General of IBB Presidential Campaign Organization has said that Nigeria must reject a repeat of June 12, 1993 presidential election won by the late Chief Moshood Abiola owing to what he described as the sycophancy of most Nigerians that knew the truth then, but chose to look the other way.

Onlytruth:
I don't know whether Jonathan or Ohakim realizes that the people they muzzled in this saga are actually the creme of Igbo politics. They are playing with fire here. Make no mistake, this is THE REAL Igbo political egg heads. Anyone toying with them is a fool.
This is still a democracy and people are free to associate and discuss what is best for their people.

oyb:
is that the best you can come up with?

you should be ashamed - if i had counted 15 instead of 23 you may have had some sort of avenue to open your mouth

monkeyleg:
My Post says 23 accompany Patience Jonathan, and the article lists the 23people, Yet you insist on me name 120 people. you have started distraction tactics.

Let me state it here, I have nothing against GJ, funny enough I like him as a person, but that wont stop me as a Nigerian first critisizing waste and undue excess, I would do the same to any othe candidate, so you guys should grow up. Nobody is a kid anymore, if we see wrong we must all be bold and brave enough to spell it out, even when we dont like it

[b]The truth is that Buhari ran a clearly lopsided organisation with its plethora of consultants concentrated in the northern parts of the country. This issue of disparity in project execution was one of the reasons critics of the Fund kicked against it. The imbalance in PTF distribution of projects and award of contracts is so glaring when one views the North-West Zone against other zones. The South-Eastern Zone is worst hit by the lopsidedness of the Fund in projects selection and execution.

For example, contracts awarded by PTF in the six zones as at December 1998 revealed that the zone made up of Jigawa, Kaduna Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara state grabed the lion share of all the four projects. Road rehabilitation 27.42 per cent, Education sector (NHERP) 34.82 per cent, Education sector (HEMPP) 30.64 per cent. Health sector 55.37 per cent, Food supply 60.54 per cent. This is against zone , made up of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo State, having 5.34 per cent, 4.04 per cent, 10.57 per cent, 6.53 per cent, 4.02 per cent, respectively.


Also Zone VI, made up of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo Rivers, state had 8.07 per cent 19.48 per cent, 13.77 per cent 13.26 per cent 5.57 per cent in same order. Even zone I made up of the six western state Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo Osun and Oyo States did not fare better when compared with the zones in the northern states. The injustice of PTF in the case of Lagos is particularly more disturbing, when it is considered that Lagos is the economic nerve centre of the country.[/b]

The seeming ongoing country’s’ security re-organisation which started two weeks ago by President Goodluck Jonathan, on Friday took a new twist as the Nigerian Army carried out a posting exercise, which resulted in the redeployment of some of its major senior officers.The posting as contained in a statement issued by the Director, Army Public Relations Chris Olukolade, revealed that the reshuffle brings J.O Shoboiki, a Major General to become the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division, M.D Abubakar, a Brigadier General move to GOC 2 Division, S.O Idoko, a Major General to GOC 3 Division, K.T.J Minimah, a Brigadier General to GOC 81 Division, SY Bello, a Major General to GOC 82 Division, M.A Nasamu, a Brigadier General move to Commander Army Headquarters Garrison and E.J Atewe, a Colonel is now the Commander Brigade of Guards.Similarly, C.O Onwuamaegbu, a Major General is now commandant of the Nigerian Defence Academy as the former Academy’s helmsman M.A Yerima, a Major General move to the Defence Headquarters as Chief of Training and Operations.

Ihejirika, a Major General, is chief of army staff; O.S Ibrahim, a Rear Admiral, is chief of naval staff; and Mohammed Dikko Umar, an Air Vice-Marshal, steps in as chief of air staff.

Ringim who will be acting in that capacity while Ita Ekpeyong replaces A.A Gadzama as the new director general of the State Security Services (SSS).
