@OP

why not ask the bleaching consultant---- ALAO TURA SOAP AKALA?

If ribadu is contesting the presidential election and is still honourable enough to clear the air on this patience jonathan issue, then I am seriuosly considering voting for him. And I mean am.

I know some self-acclaimed progressives on NL  would rather die,than say the truth especially when it stands to favour their opponent.

^^^^^^^^
Which kind preaching be dis one again? Abeg go siddon , your battery don dey weak

Latest report from ABJ has it that Eagle square will be too small for the declaration of the annointed one , hence it has been moved to the National stadium.

[size=55pt]OPERATION TOTALITY[/size]

I have said it before. . . . . . in the end kwara will go to GEJ. Olusola saraki is a man that goes with the highest bidder, in this case GEJ being the incumbent will be too attractive to ignore.

Lekinei:
Let Mr. Jonathan's Special Advisers advice him right. If am one, I will advice him to do all the best he can do now then step down and wait for the South-South turn. I bet you, some of the contestants can step down on him if he humbly step aside now and contest at the appropriate time. You know the northern like power very well, so Jonathan, the solution is humbly come down.

Remember the story of Joseph in the Bible. God showed him in a dream that both his parents and his elder ones will one day bow down to him; remember this came to pass after more than ten years. If it is God's divine arrangement for Jonathan to lead this country, for sure, it will come to pass, let him not rush for what he will regret later.

Goodluck Jonathan's advisers, please advice him well.

With just a single post I can see you joined NL just to state this. Ok we have heard. you may leave now.

Submitted by Critical Analysis (not verified) on September 16, 2010 - 08:13.
Dear writer,
I think you really need to get on facebook to fully understand that it is the new way of communicating. You are so wrong to say that majority of facebook users are only teens. You would be so shocked at who you will find there when you create an account. He declared on facebook and you got to know about it eventhough you are not on facebook, eh?
I think that was a very smart move because even those who were at IBB's rally must have gotten the news on their phones right there at the rally ground and you can imagine what effect that must have had on them. I see nothing wrong with declaring on facebook since the rally is billed for Sept 18.

Mr Dare, wake up from your slumber! Oh, you expect President Jonathan to work the cyberspace to announce his intention when we have not finished celebrating the fact that we even have a leader who knows what facebook is all about. Wake up! You think you are in the United states? Nigeria is still far behind when it comes to the matter of exploring the internet no thanks to clueless leaders. When you write on sensitive issues, pls write with Nigerians in mind-as in the true state of affairs here.

The president reserves the right to declare his ambition (his own ambition) on whatever media he chooses to. this is not a government policy per say. this is his ambition of leading the nation. at least it is better than declaring it on some of our local media networks like the failed AIT. gosh. I need an AIT frequency jammer for my neighbourhood. any ideas ?

Dare Still Living In The Past And Wants No Change
Submitted by Ken Mani (not verified) on September 16, 2010 - 07:23.
Infact, for me Jonathan's declaration on Facebook is consistent with the fact that his mindset is in tune with the times and more particularly his target audience are the Youths of Nigeria most of whom live on Facebook. He represents a generational shift which health and a bad wife did not not allow Umar Yar'Adua to showcase. One of Jonathan's strongest point going into this campaign is that the Youth's of Nigeria who are disdained by IBB have come of age and are capable of doing better that their ancestors like IBB who stole and plundered Nigeria with nothing to show for their time. Dare you are living in the bush and completely behind times. Please wake up.

Double Yes to a Humble and Connected President - GEJ
Submitted by Jones Atako (not verified) on September 16, 2010 - 06:25.
Mr. Dare's comments are elitist at best and laden sinister intent of belittling the President at worst. GEJ’s FB post is merely a pre-declaration announcement. The presidency has informed Nigerians that a formal declaration will take place on the 18th of September. Mr. Dare appears to be one of those miss-educated Nigerians that wallow in the illusion of their superiority to everyone else. FB is not for teens! MySpace is the likely destination of the younger crowd Mr. Know-It-All (Dare).

Mr Sunday Dare is entitled to his own opinion but NOT his own FACTS!
Here are some examples of factually incorrect assertions.
1. "They did not take for granted the fact that he was well known to the American electorate and a favored to win." NOT TRUE!
FACT: In 1997, Obama was neither WELL KNOWN to the American electorate nor FAVORED to win.
2. "They chose the step of the Capitol in Washington DC for his declaration, " NOT TRUE!
FACT: On February 10, 2007, Sen. Barack Obama stood before a cheering crowd in Springfield, Illinois (his home state), where he announced he will seek the 2008 Democratic nomination for president NOT Washington DC.
3. "It is unpresidential for the President to choose his face book as a place to officially announce his ambition" REALLY?
FACT: Hillary Clinton declared her intention to run for the Presidency on her website in 2007.

[b]There is absolutely nothing wrong for Mr Jonathan to have informed his fans of his intent to run. President obama used the same medium, email portals like yahoo to informed his supporters of all his intent, campaigns, etc. I received tons of such emails from him too. When HE decided to pick his running mate, his supporters were the first to get the news, before it was made public.[/b]AND TO KEEP THE RECORD STRAIGHT, OBAMA DID NOT DECLARE HIS INTENTION TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN WASHINGTON DC.

I dont want to say what readily comes to my mind . . . . . . people will say i am unpatriotic

Onlytruth:
I just can't shake off this feeling that IBB under VERY TOUGH oil market (under $20/barrel) did what Obasanjo couldn't do in 8 years of above $80/barrel.
Just look at IBB achievements! I just can't believe it! An edifice like the THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE was build by IBB. Even everything that makes Abuja tick today was built by him.
Every institution of substance even INEC (was a remnant of his NEC). Nobody has made ANY improvements on IBB's achievements since he left office.
All institutions of the Federal government today from Federal road safety commission, to SSS to National defence college (he called it National war college), . .you name it, IBB did it!

Chei! Frankly I've never fully thought about these until now!

And he did these with oil at miserable international prices! Now imagine what he can do today with Nigeria swimming in oil money.

I struggled to come to terms with this post, not necessarily because of the content , but the author(you of all people).

I found some consolation in the thinking that since you have been one of the very strong beleivers in the disintegration of this country and consequently the emergence of a biafran state, you are simply looking out for the candidate that will hasten this process.

looks like the IBB largesse to journalists is still working. what useless shock are they talking about? so that is all the the evil one can come with? Even ATIKU and his broom-carrying crowd did much better in 2007.

steroid:
simple grammar you cannot SPOKEN

Dont vexing with me, is bicos i have stomach warrior when i am typing last time.

Pls pardon my mistakes, i was a little bit in a hurry. Mind you i'm not IBB supporter.

Ok go and sin no more

seanet02:

THEY WILL BOTH FAIL WOEFULLY

IBB is evil but definitely not a genius.

Dont worry , he is already history, the PDP ticket is already in GEJ's pocket. We now look ahead to the elections proper, how to checkmate Buhari et al.

Becomrich0:
Even in 2004 Nigeria airway had direct flight from lagos to New york. It was virgin airline who stop direct flight, because virgin had to make stop over to london since it was a british airline. I know I was onboard nigeria airway several times to lagos from new york.

So since what you have said is the case can you explain why the US had to issue a Category 1 Certificate which enables Nigerian registered airlines to fly to ANY U.S city?

Kobojunkie:
uuumm . . . dude, I don't know who you think you are talking to here. . . . Anyways, he has had months to announce his intentions to the Nigerian people and only in the last couple of days, again, 2 minutes to the end of the primaries has he even stepped out to make his intentions known. By the way, when you said that he made his intentions known to all the stakeholders that would participate in the primaries, where you also suggesting that he did not owe the Nigerian people the same courtesy? Let me guess, only the stakeholders mattered in that case?

Read between what lines? Lines that do not exist outside of your mind there? lol . . . GEJ is smart for ignoring the Nigerian people for so long or GEJ's advisor respect the people too much as they continue to secretly plot his running for PUBLIC office? ROFLMAO!! Nigerians ehn!!!

You seem to enjoy the art of criticising just any and everything. Abeg make we hear word.

At the moment everyone is an aspirant and only empowered delegates of the different parties can determine who carries the party flag. I simply dont understand the talk about GEJ ignoring nigerian people, a critical you would have been one of the ones here to shout that jonathan ignored the very vital tasks of governance to pursue his ambition, had he declared too early.

I am watching the declaration of the evil one , who definitely is not a genius.

Which kind yeye crowd? Even Atiku in 2007 pulled more crowd than this. Watchout for Buhari's declaration make una see crowd. Infact if this declaration is a pointer to IBB's following, then he should forget about his useless ambition to return.

^^^^^^^^^

Lame talk. so it was the police that impeached Alamieyeseigha for GEJ to become governor? All these mallams will not seize to crack me up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

where dis one show from again?

Ibime:
It would have been impossible to send bill to NASS 6 months. Setting up SWF is not overnight business, besides you cannot set capitalisation for the SWF before setting the budget, which also took some time to draw up.

I absolutely condemn Jonathan giving in to The Governors on release of funds from the ECA. That shows weakness and desperation to solidify his political base at any cost, however this SWF move ensures that no weak political leader can ever again be blackmailed into releasing ECA. This is an institutional change which is commendable, and henceforth preempts such from occuring again. It is also pertinent to note that Yara had been releasing ECA due to depression in oil prices affecting the budget. Yara had got fed up with same issue, so this move preempts similar events from repeating itself in future.

Even the strongest of men know that in a democracy , decisions must be taken based on political realities amongst other things. Even "strongman" OBJ was armtwisted by the governors to release that fund for spending.

I am sure everyone knows that opposition governors like Adams oshiomole were frontliners in the push for the release of the funds.

mikeansy:
He is 6 months late on leadership on this issue and no better than Yar'adua.

He chose to play politics with this same money for the last 6 months even against the advise of his own economic team.

Now that the politics of that money has shown to be ill-advised and short-sighted . . . .he is simply doing a U-Turn.

The reason he is getting away with all this crap and the reason that you can even propose this headline is because we have an opposition who don't know what they are doing. They would have called him out on this issue ages ago and by now it would have been clear that his decision to finally send a bill to NASS is at best reactionary.

YOU KNOW WHAT!!!!!!!!!! HURRAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! JONATHAN IS THE FIRST TO PROVIDE LEGAL FRAMEWORK TO SAFEGUARD OUR NATIONAL SAVINGS AFTER BLOWING 7BILLION IN 6 MONTHS!!!!!!

So a man that gets this done and in 8 months is same as another that never saw the reason to, in over 30 months? i envy your sense of judgement.

Now , what opposition are you talking about. why not first do a check to find out the governors that were asking for the ECA funds to be shared? you will be shocked to find that some of the most vociferous ones where actually of the "progressive", opposition stock.

Ibime:
The headline should rather read "Jonathan becomes the first President to devise a legal framework for National Savings"

God bless you.

The headling is, to say the least unfair.

^^^^^^^^^

Your GPA don dey drop seriously here. How does the heading relate to the content of the piece you just posted?

@dappssee
Correct. We sef fit speak for Lagos voters. something like "90% of Lagos voters back Jonathan" courtesy of peopletrust newspaper  


[size=55pt]OPERATION TOTALITY[/size]

@op

On the face of it a governor is better placed to steal more money, but we have to consider the state too. For certain low budget states i think the senate president is better placed expecially if he enjoys an uninterrupted 4yrs like his governor counterpart.

If you know how much normal senator dey kill from all this small small commitees, you go know say David mark go don hammer die.

Fhemmmy:
With all that has been said and unsaid about IBB . . . .The man seems to be the only one that is open and playing the politics the way it is ought to be played.
The only one that is campaigning, the only one that is talking to people and talking about what he wanna do and wont do.
This getting really interesting

My grouse is not where you copied this from, it is actually why you feel this is the right place to paste it. Ok now tell me what IBB has been saying and what he wants to do? like promising the SE 2015 and picking odili as VP?

komando.:
@ na-so
The Sarakis are not the only Fulanis in Illorin that give their children Yoruba names.Even the Emir himself has a Yoruba name, Kolapo. His daughter who is contesting for the governorship is named[b] Bilkisu[/b]. The Fulanis have always been skilled at mixing in, and it helps them a lot.

so bilikisu don be yoruba name now?

@knowall

what is most important is how the hausa/fulani man up north sees saraki and north necessarily his claims. Sunday awoniyi also had his claims but the fulanis knew better. my question now is very simple: . How does the fulani man in katsina see Saraki? ANSWER: he is far less than  a banza bakwai .

Akin-Egba:
^^^^^^
Way before election time, Saraki has maintained his Fulaniness. Zik's first son is named Bamidele, does that make him Yoruba? Okadigbo's son is named pharoah, does that make him an Egyptian? My own first name is English, does than make me an English man? Ilorin may be predominantly Yoruba, but its leadership has always been fulani. The Sarakis are among those.

What are you talking about , is bamidele one of the names or the first official name ? we are talking about all saraki's children and you are stating isolated cases here. abeg use logic well jare.

Akin-Egba:
Saraki is 100% Fulani. He has said it over and over, rejecting strongly any attempt to make him Yoruba overnight.
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-311183.0.html

100% fulani make i laugh na election time be this.

What is most important now is where the core north believe saraki is from , not all this his mali claims. someone that says he is fulani but lives in a a predominantly yoruba community , therefore decide to name all his children, olubukola saraki, gbemisola saraki, oyinkansola saraki, toyin saraki
