Chimaokigwe:
What if it reoccurs?
Has the cause of the crisis been eliminated?

It's an isolated case bro. Wouldn't make it become a norm. These things happen rarely. The cause of the crisis was a Hausa guy that killed someone even though I do not know under what circumstance. But normalcy returned that evening. Twas just the back route between Tap junction and oyigbo junction.

smeag0l:
That leaves you with only one route to enter rivers if you're coming by road-Aba. And that is even not safe as northerners and southerners are fighting at oyigbo.

Don't be peddling lies na. Since when did oyigbo axis become an unsafe area to pass. A day crisis(wednesday) which ended that day has turned to northerners and southerners are fighting. Don't give out fake info bro.

Only CRIMINALS and THIEVES won't agree with this....as usual.
Yoi can see few of them here already!!

Nigeria would have been worse than Somalia by now and many wailers finding food to eat from dustbins assuming the INEFFECTUAL BUFFON, AKA Ogogoro master who told us STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION and PDP were voted back in 2015!

We will ALWAYS thank God for our Darling President MUHAMMADU BUHARI..... The best President in the history of Nigeria.


You are very right Chairman!

You can say that again bro!

For someone not to agree with the statement makes them criminals. Your brain is truly not functioning with such generalization. You need help before its too late.

There's blood money to be made in every war. Someone somewhere is benefiting so weaponry will keep flowing. That's just the sad truth.

naijaguy1234:
APC is coming for Rivers, the people have rejected Wike and his kill kill party. 70 percent of PDP fundings comes from rivers state, take rivers away and no more PDP.

Which people rejected wike? Please keep quiet instead of saying what you know nothing about. A closer investigation would show u don't even stay in ph.

it was on there website that any graduate that graduated before 2014 should not apply

I have a masters gotten in 2017 there's no harm in applying. If they call they call... if they don't you forge ahead. The country has failed it's youth but we'll lift our heads up and keep pushing to succeed.

naijainstinct:
just pick the earliest date which is 2014 for both bsc and nysc.

Input the correct month though

Thanks bro.

galax1:
Official garri u are insane I pray u feel it too

Take it easy bro as painful as it might be you just have to reapply. 2012 recruitment is dead on arrival. The current one supercedes, no manner of English would bring back the past failed recruitment.

naijainstinct:
Do you have a MSc/MA?

If you do and it is within 2014 till date, you can apply. I also graduated 2010 but my MSc is 2017. I called the NNPC recruitment helpdesk and it was confirmed that I can apply since I have an advanced certificate from a tertiary institution that is not earlier than 2014

We are in the same boat. How about the nysc certificate?No 2012. Only 2014 and above. Did you ask about that?

haywire07:
This was my comment earlier today and I still stand on it.

Only those who knows , know that Wike was behind Saturday attack . This I got from very reliable source

Many have forgotten so quickly that Wike was so much against Atiku during the PDP primaries.

Wike is only killing two birds with a stone :

1. He disrupted the election so Atiku won't have enough votes from rivers,
2. but Buhari will take the blame for disrupting the election
Sometimes I just look at those minions who fall for every propaganda. I just conclude that majority are not wise .

Second time I'm seeing this your useless post. Please quietly stfu. Two Siena buses in front of the RAC center where protected by the military from where the hoodlums that caused mayhem in abonnema got their ammunitions from. Stop misinforming people. I wonder what you gain in all this. It's obvious your conscience is dead as well. I promise you 100% karma will fall on each person whether APC/PDP that has been instigating violence in this country. It may be slow but it will come eventually.

helinues:
Is expected. The stock market wont stable until after 3 months of election .

No investors want to invest in volatile environments.

See as how wailers are already blaming Buhari when it is infact your lord and saviors Atiku is the one scaring away investors by rejecting the outcomes of the election.

Your analysis is warped. Sometimes I wonder whether people think before making obviously useless statements.

This is the number 2 step to a better Nigeria.

All thanks to Kwarans for voting out the rotten head of the senate (the worst Senate President in the history of Nigeria!).

To a fresh start we go, a senate that will approve all the good and favourable laws and budget in time, not the ones bringing problems to the nation and ONLY think about how to loot our national treasury and having a personal vendetta with the presidency.

The CHANGE is here.
To the NEXT LEVEL we go...

You may say all you want fact still remains if not for Saraki the presidency would've pocketed the Senate as the second arm of government as they've pocketed the judiciary.

Amarabae:
First of all, I want to congratulate President Buhari for his reelection ,
I didn't vote for him but at the end of the day, he won
That's one of the beauties of democracy!
Going through the results of the presidential election from the north, I can't help but admit that I am disappointed at the PDP presidential candidate Alhaji atiku abubakar.
1. Knowing fully well that there is a corruption tag hanging around you, why shouting "you will sell NNPC up and down "
What's the essence of the noise?
And about selling it, to whom?
Likely himself through a proxy and his friends,
That NNPC brouhaha depopularise him.
He should learn how to keep his mouth shut most times.
Does he know how many people lost their jobs when Nitel was sold,
Many Nigerians especially northerners were not comfortable with that selling of NNPC thing.
.
2. He didn't prepare well against rigging and malpractice.
This is Nigeria where elections comes with drama, his presidential campaign organization should have put in mechanism in place to counter that.
And BTW who was the campaign director?
Oh Saraki, who was more focused on retaining his senatorial seat to no avail,
Their whole planning was poor!
.
3. Atiku needs to ask himself why he was unpopular in the north?
I never knew that he was this unpopular,
Losing your polling unit to buhari is a big embarrassment please,
Let's be frank, Buhari smashed the northern votes,
We thought atiku will divide the northern votes, but what we saw was disheartening.
Look at south where his vice president aspirant, Peter Obinna came from, PDP won the highest number of votes in the south,
That means that Peter Obi delivered.
To my suprise, the PDP votes from South west was very impressive
What is Atiku excuse for the poor performance of PDP in the north from where he is from?
.
4. Dear Atiku,
I tried for you,
Supported you,
Voted for you
But hope you are aware, that the buhari you can't defeat, you joined hands in pushing him to aso rock in 2015?
When you were in APC, you left APC, ran back to PDP that you helped in removing from power and now you can't defeat APC and buhari.
Maybe it is karma fighting back!
Who knows!

.
Dear Atiku Abubakar
Accept the defeat in good faith
No need of going to court, it will be subjecting yourself to more ridicule.
You are still a billionaire.
Try again in 2023
But certainly NOT in PDP.
Thank you.
From Oriaku Amarachi

The north hated the agenda he was coming with and that was why he lost. Selling NNPC will make the north lose alot. They have been milking from it for years. He put up a good fight all the same.

LordCenturion:
Interesting.... This election go hot die,its unpredictable , keep it coming please.




Ipod terrorists and wailing dirty nyammirin pigs were so blinds to the extent that if Atiku said he want to use them for money ritual as we are speaking,they will agree. PDP are very dangerous than other parties but they see the party as a party of saints. PDP and this people are one of the reason why buhari can't do whatever he wanted to do in order to move the country forward,even he hasn't spent up to 2 months on power before they started wishing him death,a time come when they said he's 72,please help ask them if they know the age of Atiku they are supporting... Hypocrites confused backwards illiterate people

Says a tribalist. What region are you from before you start calling easterners illiterates. Ode.

PHILipu1:
2019 election is a different ball game from 2015.
PDP supporters and ballot snatchers refuse to accept that power have change hands.

They refuse to accept that the days of them rigging and the security agencies look the other way are over so that is why we had so manya death.
Don't blame APC or Mr president but sound it to PDP that they will no longer be able to rig like in the past.

So the trouble and ballot burning in states round the federation is carried out by the PDP. See the truth and say it you wont die.

RealLordZeus:
Bros! This your permutations ehn!
Buhari will conveniently win in the 3 geopolitical zones of the north with exception of like 3 states which may be a match.
He will also win SW but may just be witha few margin.
He will lose in SS but still be able to gather like 30-40% votes.
The SE votes should have been used to cancel buhari north votes but they have a low voters turnout.
in d long run, Buhari will still win but I'm betting on less than 1m vote margin. The gap will be so close

Your analysis of the south east is wrong bro. The strategy of apc was to remove the names of ppl from the voters list and then in most places they didn't show up. Sabongari in Kano they adopted same strategy. I thought they said they were popular. Scam of an election.

Amaechi Using Military To Hold Me Hostage, INEC Official Cries Out -THISDAY.

Wants me to write results

An official of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mrs. Mary Efeturi, has cried out in a WhatsApp group that the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, is holding her hostage with the military personnel.
According to her desperate message, Amaechi wants her to instruct collation officers to collate results in the presidential election that held Saturday which she resisted, leading to her being held hostage by the minister, who has threatened not to release her until she carries out his wishes, which is to write results.

Her SOS message on the WhatsApp group, which went to her superiors reads: “Sir, I am still held within my office and the Minister of Transportation is insisting that I instruct the collation officers to collate results. He said that I cannot leave the office because he has military personnel on ground.”
Effort by THISDAY to reach her by phone proved abortive. As at the time of filing this report this morning, it was unknown whether she stood her ground and resisted the minister’s pressure or yielded.
Also, THISDAY learnt that INEC officials at the commission’s Abuja head office were still making frantic efforts to secure her release.

Chicken of Ubima lol. Free and fair APC know they would lose and that's why they are the ones causing mayhem everywhere. I thought they said they were popular. When you see their online warriors talk you'll know they are senseless people. The only way apshit will win is by rigging but they will all be disappointed at the end.

tendingNews:
Happening at Ago Palace Way, Isolo Lagos, votes by Nigerians were burnt after they had voted.



Watch the video and see as the votes burn while people run from the scene.



A lady shared this disturbing video where someone was shouting "this country is something else, they just burnt our votes".

This is even as people were on the run to flee from attack.

domesifa:
The campaign office of President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the postponement of the 2019 presidential elections.

Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, announced at about 2:40 a.m. Saturday that the election had been postponed, barely hours after Nigerians were set to hit the polling units.

The elections would now hold on new dates scheduled as February 23 for presidential and national assembly elections and March 9 for governorship and state assemblies elections.

Mr Yakubu said the announcement came hours after a string of strategic meetings were held by top INEC officials to review preparedness for the exercise. It was concluded that a rash of logistics challenges that arose on Friday informed the postponement.

Ekiti, Niger and Taraba states were identified as some of the states that faced glitches of distribution of voting materials that would be difficult to resolve in time for the elections Saturday morning, thereby forcing the postponement.

Nigerians online expressed severe disappointment in INEC’s eleventh-hour decision, with many criticising the umpire for displaying stark incompetence since it had four years to prepare for the exercise.

Festus Keyamo, a spokesperson for Mr Buhari’s reelection campaign committee, also expressed sadness about the development, and quickly heaped the blame on the PDP in a statement released minutes after the announcement.

“We condemn and deprecate this tardiness of the electoral umpire in the strongest terms possible.

“President Muhammadu Buhari had since cooperated fully with INEC by ensuring everything it demanded to conduct free and fair elections were promptly made available to it.

“This news is therefore a huge disappointment to us and to our teeming supporters nationwide and around the world, many of whom have come into the country to exercise their franchise.

“We do hope that INEC will remain neutral and impartial in this process as the rumor mill is agog with the suggestion that this postponement has been orchestrated in collusion with the main opposition, the PDP, that was never ready for this election.

“We note that all the major credible demographic projections have predicted a defeat of the PDP and it seriously needed this breather to orchestrate more devious strategies to try and halt President Buhari’s momentum.

“It did the same as the ruling Party in 2015, when it realized the game was up, by orchestrating the postponement of the 2015 elections by six weeks. Now, it may be up to its old trick again.

“We have earlier raised the alarm that the PDP is bent on discrediting this process the moment it realized it cannot make up the numbers to win this election. We are only urging INEC not collude with the PDP on this.

“We are truly worried because as early as Friday morning, some known PDP Social Media influencers unwittingly announced this postponement, but quickly deleted the message and apologized to the public that it was fake news,” Mr Keyamo said.

The spokesperson also urged Nigerians to support INEC in its challenges, and prevent the commission from being compromised by the opposition.

“We do not want to be forced to a situation of announcing our total loss of confidence in INEC, because we know where that would leave our democracy.

“It is in the light of the above that we wish to appeal to Nigerians and our supporters to be patient, calm and resolute despite this temporary setback.

“Let us not give anyone, especially the PDP, the opportunity to plunge this nation into a crises, which is what they earnestly desire. Its imminent defeat is just a few days away.

“Lastly, we wish to draw the attention of INEC and the world to observe that the PDP has clearly and openly said it plans to announce parallel results through some funny device it has procured or developed.

“We wish to reiterate that it is only INEC that is legally and constitutionally empowered to declare results and it constitutes an offence for anyone to do so.

“We urge INEC to speak up now and warn the PDP to desist from this ignoble act that is capable of plunging the nation into a crises of immeasurable proportions,” he said.

Mr Keyamo did not attach any evidence to corroborate his claims against the PDP or other opposition elements he accused in the statement.

A spokesperson for the PDP did not immediately answer calls seeking comments in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Keyamo is officially an ignoramus. Some people just have empty brains.

Excaperx:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council on Monday said it was deeply concerned about many of the expressions of the United States’ Ambassador to Nigeria, Ambassador W. Stuart Symington and other Western Diplomats which have been directed towards Nigeria’s upcoming elections.

Its spokesman, Festus Keyamo, in a statement made available to DAILY POST, suggested that the countries were tactically supporting the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

He noted that the continued warning of a flawed process was an unwarranted cloud over the process.

Keyamo noted that instead of encouraging our country towards credible elections, such statements undermine public confidence.

He said: “It would appear that these envoys seem to have discredited the election before it has even taken place. We truly hope some of the statements attributed to these diplomats are inaccurate. For instance, the Premium News reported that Ambassador W. Stuart Symington threatened to “hold to account” anyone whose speech, no matter the motivation of that speech, engendered hatred.

“We all agree that any speech willfully intended to trigger violence is condemnable. However, in condemning other forms of political speech, the American envoy overstepped his ambassadorial brief. For instance, the American Ambassador was reported to have condemned a situation where a candidate says that his opponent’s political and economic policies are abhorrent and dangerous to the greater welfare of the people and calls on the citizens to hate and reject such policies.

“In our view, this is a correct statement because it is the duty of the candidate to tell the people these truths to protect the nation from subsequent calamity. But Ambassador Symington says his country would punish such necessary political speeches.

“For us it is significant to note that such strong political speeches are not unlawful in the United States, but Ambassador Symington is seeking to penalize such speeches by Nigerians. He seeks to shrink our ambit of free speech so that we may behave in accordance with their vision of well-behaved Africans, rather than in consonance with our vision of our own democracy, no matter how tumultuous and dramatic we may be. It would appear that his position seeks to prohibit forms of expression integral to our political discourse. These forms of expression have time and time again been adjudged to be constitutionally-protected speeches by the United States Supreme Court.

“However, Ambassador Symington intentionally issued his threats to place a chilling effect on speeches in Nigeria that, if uttered in America, would be constitutionally protected. Unfounded allegations and threats to penalize people for constitutionally-protected free speech is improper interference in our internal affairs. Sadly, what Ambassador Symington and some other western diplomats are doing border on the improper.

“We take the view that the constant statements by Ambassador Symington and the other diplomats are implicit attacks against the government of Nigeria. These statements imply the Nigerian government is inclined to rig the election in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is unfair and unacceptable to us. President Muhammadu Buhari has never been accused of electoral malpractice all his life. However, in contrast, former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar publicly boasted a few months ago that he rigged the 2003 election in the Southwest States. Here, we have an open confession of blatant electoral malfeasance by the PDP candidate. But in all of these, there seem to be no concern by Ambassador Symington and other diplomats about this well-acknowledged proclivity of the main opposition.

“We expected that such open confession to rigging in the past would have drawn condemnation from the United States. Rather what we witnessed recently was the ignoble act of giving such a self-confessed rigger with a decade-old indictment in America for corruption hanging over his head a special status to enter the U.S for a few days. Such is the double standard that America now displays for the whole world to see. It is unfortunate that most of these countries that sermonize about free and fair elections have ugly histories of denial of voting right to people because of their colour and are still facing many challenges with their electoral systems till date.

“The continued reference and praise of the 2015 election by Ambassador Symington clearly shows he needs further briefing about the Nigerian situation. For his information, the 2015 presidential election, at the end of the day, produced the correct outcome, but with flawed figures in many areas. Though they lost, the figures attributed to the PDP were inflated in many places, especially in the South South, to save the face of the past President and to reduce the margin of his defeat. President Buhari is determined to improve on the 2015 elections and so it cannot even be our benchmark.

“An American ambassador has a great responsibility in representing the strongest economic and military power in the world. His comments carry weight because of the status of his nation. This means his comments should reflect a deep knowledge of the subject. Sadly, Ambassador Symington has not shown the deep knowledge of Nigerian situation. The impression he creates by constantly harping on suspected government interference with the electoral process is that President Buhari cannot win without tipping the results. He seems to be saying that only a PDP victory will be evidence of a fair election.

“Again, he is in great error. From all of the information at our disposal, President Buhari can and should win a free and fair election. However, it appears to us that Ambassador Symington is substituting his subjective conclusions for the sovereign will of the Nigerian people. In doing so, he has abandoned the impartiality of a true envoy and has trespassed into interfering in our electoral process.

“Instead of encouraging free and fair elections, these judgmental statements and threats only cast an unnecessary pall over the elections and the nation. This is an international disservice and not international diplomacy. The days of unquestioned condescension to Western powers are long gone and we are not prepared at this time in Nigeria to recede to that era.

“Nigerians will define Nigeria’s democracy. We shall hold fair and just elections, not because of scolding by diplomats, but because we have sufficient intelligence and morality to do what is right for ourselves. If Ambassador Symington has familiarized himself with Nigeria’s history from 1999 till date, he would have realized that those in the main opposition are being haunted by their past: they think President Buhari would behave exactly like they did all these years when they consistently rigged elections and denied Nigerians the right to choose their leaders

“If Ambassador Symington truly intends to be impartial, his statements should acknowledge that both Government and Opposition (particularly in States where the opposition have Governors in place) must respect the process and refrain from rigging. We expect him to counsel both governing party and the Opposition from any form of electoral malpractice. After all, it is not only Governments at the center that rig elections. Elections can also be rigged in opposition-controlled areas.

“It is not too late for Ambassador Symington to repair the damage of his uninformed statements. He needs to speak as an impartial envoy instead of a person who appears to have prejudged the quality of the process and the outcome. Until he attains that level of informed impartiality, whatever good he seeks is better achieved by his silence than by tendentious utterances.”

Our friend, You are not standing alone, some other criminals are standing with you.
Like one of your Role Model in life below....

So any person who supports PDP is a criminal? I thought you were wise.

mynd1:
Sir, are u pain? do u have problem with north?

It's a wasteful venture, there's no oil in the north we'll keep screaming it even in the next 50years. It's practically impossible.

jesusjnr:
Yes I think so.

And the message is that He is with him, because otherwise it would have been fatal.

The recent instance of the owner of Leicester football club comes to mind, for it's hard for someone to survive such crashes as has many others have shown.

So it's certainly a miracle to me, as that of Jesus saving the lives of His disciples In the midst of the sea.

p.s.

Just pause and think about it for a second, the otherwise ramifications it would have had on the outcome of the coming elections if he hadn't survived the crash?

I already gave the instance of LCFC owner, now factor in the recent giant killing exploits of the club in the premier league that made the club and by extension its owner a darling of the neutrals, but such crashes yet showed via his instance that they are no respecter of persons.

From the recovery of the president from an illness that many thought and some prophesied (even some well known church leaders) would kill him, to being even stronger that he was beforehand, that everyone else is saying it had to be God, to his VP's survival of such a helicopter crash?

It has only confirmed one thing, that God is at least with the first two citizens of the nation.

So that for me is the election done and dusted.

Game over even before the game started.

Just awarding of trophy left.

Lol you have interpreted it as u seem fit, I can also interpret in reverse.
