ocelot2006: How so? Please do tell the house.

I mean that the duty of implementing the constitution is not the exclusive reserve of any of the three tiers of govt. If at all, it is the arms of govt that have such roles. Each tier of govt has the three organs.

ocelot2006: Yes the FG can. It is their duty to implement the constitution. Do keep in mind that NO FREAKInG STATE is above the laws of the Federal Republic.

2015: Umeh Declares for Anambra Central
Senatorial Seat


The National Chairman of All Progressives
Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh,
has joined the race for the Anambra Central
senatorial seat in the 2015 general election.
The seat is currently occupied by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in
the November 16, 2013 governorship
election in Anambra State, Senator Chris
Ngige.
By his formal declaration at the launch of
APGA solidarity movement in Awka, Umeh is
thus challenging the incumbent senator for
the zone, Ngige, who is widely believed to
be eyeing the seat again after his failed bid
to win the state governorship election last
year and two other aspirants in the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in the zone, Chief
Kodilichukwu Okelekwe and Senator Annie
Okonkwo who recently defected from the
APC to his original party, the PDP citing lack
of internal democracy in the APC.
But Umeh said yesterday that he was
throwing his hat into the ring and would
definitely emerge victorious.
“I will win. I have been stopping them in
the past and this time around I want to
stop them in the senate race
“And because of your invitation for me to
join the race today (yesterday), I am now
joining to stop them again. God willing, I
have put my hat in the ring and we shall go
to the battlefield and I will emerge
victorious.
“Go and tell them that I have stepped out
for the Anambra Central senatorial seat and
with all of you here working with me, we
are going to give them a crushing defeat,”
he said before an assemblage of Anambra
people who gathered for the inauguration
of APGA solidarity movement in the state
which also coincided with the celebration
of his 52nd birthday.
Earlier, before the movement was
inaugurated by the state Chairman of APGA,
Chief Mike Kwentoh, its president, Hon.
Ebere Okafor, had said the movement
started way back in 2012 as APGA Solidarity
Forum and had worked hard to deliver a lot
of candidates who won various elective
positions.
The vision of the movement, he said, was to
ensure that by working hard, more
candidates under the party’s platform
would win more elective positions in 2015
and beyond both in Anambra and other
states.

fm7070: I wonder why people will leave important issues raised and they will start irrelevant tribal, religious or ethnic matters which in most cases does not address the question. They are doing something bad somewhere, all you could say was tribal bashing

These are the instrument of woes in Nigeria: Ethnic and religious sentiment and it is preventing us from facing our problems realistically.

I read sometime ago that yoruba movie producers cast upcoming actors without paying them. They promise to pay them in subsequent productions. That is exploitation, yet all the op could see was "wild wild East", and you say i am tribalistic? Abeg park well.

VillageBoi: No he hasn't. He's asking the valid question "Why is this happening in the East?" It's so easy for anyone to contribute without the 'ethnic bashing'. Personally I'm surprised to hear how ridiculous they are making things in the East... and yes I am Igbo.

Read the original title of the thread again.

When he sees the hangman's noose he will sing a different song.

porka: No state has the authority to register anybody living in the state.

Population Census and National Identification exercises are on the exclusive list in the constitution.

What states are doing is pure illegality.

The federal government has only done the highest thing within its powers by barring security agencies under its control from taking part from such registration and deportation. The federal government cannot effectively stop state governors who are chief security officers of their states from continuing with the exercise. It just a matter of semantics. They will soon give the exercise another name, especially when it is popular. My opinion though.

You have obviously set the stage for the ethnic bashing which you claim to be averting.

Impeachment galore. Is Anyim pius eyeing Elechi's seat?

‘Losing Nigeria to Muslim fundamentalists is
simply a no go, whichever way you look at it.
What is happening now in Iraq has been a
rude wake-up call for Washington.’
“Some experts fear that Jonathan may have
to widen the state of emergency in the
North and even postpone the elections next
year, if the situation does not improve. It is
worth remembering that the former APC
candidate, Mahammadu Buhari, has been
accused of inciting a violent uprising after
losing the 2011 presidential election,
resulting in nearly 1,000 deaths. Next year,
some fear, this could be even worse"

BOKO HARAM: Opposition is a coalition of
Muslim extremists — Russian experts

|  Lanre Adewole-Lagos
•Raise poser on Chibok abduction •Ex-
Kremlin adviser, PDP paid agent —APC
RUSSIAN security experts are worried over
the possibility of the All Progressives Party
(APC) taking over the reins of government in
Nigeria next year, branding the party a
coalition of Muslim extremists.
The thinking in Russian political and security
circles about the future of Nigeria was made
known by a former presidential and Kremlin
adviser, Alexander Nekrassov.
Nekrassov, regarded globally as a political
analyst and commentator, made the
disclosure in a celebrated editorial opinion
written for the respected Al-jazzera news
channel.
He noted that the thinking in Russia was to
support President Goodluck Jonathan to
continue in office and, if necessary, to
extend emergency rule in the North-East
base of Boko Haram and postpone the
forthcoming general elections.
But the APC, through its spokesperson, Lai
Mohammed, branded Nekrassov, a hack
writer, paid by the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
According to him, ”it is clearly a hatchet job.
He should be ashamed of himself. Here is
someone who is out of job and paid by PDP
as an agent of falsehood. Is he the
government of Russia to say what he said?
There is even nothing new in what he said;
he only repeated what Fani-Kayode said for
which we have taken him to court. We called
for an inquiry. Has it been done? He is
working for his pay.”
Excerpts from the piece, entitled; “Is Boko
Haram, a pawn in the bigger political
game?” read; “When it comes to the current
turmoil in Nigeria and the dramatic rise of
the threat from the armed group Boko
Haram, the question, “What’s in it for our
American partners?” has not yet provided
any real answers for the Kremlin.
Rise of Boko Haram
“Boko Haram, which had emerged initially as
a non-violent movement that promoted
Islamic values and rejected Western culture
and its “decadence,” turned to violence in
2009, and since 2010, has been carrying out
regular attacks, rapidly growing in numbers
as a result of a recruitment campaign, both
in Nigeria and beyond.
“What adds to the confusion, from the point
of view of Russian officials, is that Boko
Haram, which is based in the North of
Nigeria, is actually fighting for control of the
area that has no oil reserves.
“The interesting angle on the crisis in
Nigeria is that it is seen in Moscow as
political conflict, rather than a religious one,
even though the country is equally split
between Muslims and Christians. As the
thinking in Moscow goes, if it was a classic
‘religious war,’ then, Boko Haram would not
have been indiscriminate in murdering both
Muslims and Christians.”
Opposition’s benefits
“After every attack, everyone is reminded
that there is still no trace of the over 200
Chibok schoolgirls, although recently, bizarre
reports surfaced that 60 of them have
supposedly managed to escape while the
terrorists were looking the other way.
“Nevertheless, the kidnapping on such a
vast scale was obviously intended as a blow
to Jonathan’s tenure, first and foremost,
because selling the girls for around $20
each was not really going to enrich Boko
Haram. So, this was more of a slap on the
face of the government in power that could
only benefit the opposition.
“In politics, anything that happens in a year
leading to a big election should be always
treated as a build-up to that election. And in
Nigeria, the next presidential election is
going to take place in February, 2015, with
the opposition having a mountain to climb,
considering that the ruling PDP got a
substantial majority at the polls in 2011. The
PDP politicians have been accusing the
opposition, the APC of having links with
Boko Haram, but the opposition has been
strenuously denying it.
“According to Russian experts, the recent
upsurge in Boko Haram violence and the
readiness to operate in broad daylight and
take on the army and the police prove that
the group has been getting some training
and advice from outside. Some reports have
linked the group with terrorist networks
across Africa and the Middle-East like al-
Shabab, al-Qaeda and Ansar al-Sharia, when
it comes to combat training, funding and
the exchange of military hardware and
weaponry.
“The one conclusion that the Russian
experts have drawn is that the US and their
Western allies have missed the growth of
extremist groups, which has already
manifested itself in Iraq with large parts of it
now controlled by the Islamic State group,
formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant.”
Disastrous oversight
“Russian military analysts predict a rise in
violence in Nigeria leading up to the
presidential election next year. Some even
claim that increased international aid,
perhaps, even an intervention, may be on
the cards as the lessons of Iraq are starting
to sink in, both in Western and African
capitals. As one Russian official told me,

Ekiti conducts referendum for creation of
18 local government areas
on july 20, 2014 at 1:03 pm



Ekiti State Government on Saturday
conducted a state-wide referendum on the
creation of 18 local government areas in the
state.
The referendum was held in 137 out of the
177 electoral wards in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), recalls
that Ekiti governor-elect, Mr Ayo Fayose, had
urged the people to boycott the reference
being conducted by Gov. Kayode Fayemi,
who would leave office in October.
A NAN correspondent who monitored the
exercise, reports that there was large turn-
out in places like Ikere-Ekiti, Ado-Ekiti, Ifaki-
Ekiti, Okemesi-Ekiti and Iyin-Ekiti.
The turn-out in Ire-Ekiti and Ikoro-Ekiti, and
other areas was not impressive.
Former governor Niyi Adebayo and the
Commissioner for Cooperation and
Integration, Mr Funminiyi Afuye, both
chieftains of APC in Iyin-Ekiti and Ikere-Ekiti
commended the exercise, describing it as
“free and fair.”
But the PDP’s Publicity Secretary, Pastor Kola
Kolawole, described the exercise as“ a
failure, null and void.”(NAN)

The city on the Niger!

LFJ: Everything is not about war, why do you want them to go to war when they can get with their mouths what your forefathers can not achieve with war?

But they couldnt defend Ilorin with their mouths cant u see? Fulani's destroyed Oyo empire in 1837 with catapults, bows and arrows, and u hope that this generation of yorubas can defend themselves against even more ruthless and sophisticated terrorists. If the first child fails to walk, can the second run? The Obas that are suppose to protect you fear fulanis to the marrow. That is why they engage in skin bleaching competition so that they can wear fulani identity in case of an attack.

9jii: YOU CAN'T JUST FOR BLOODSHED TO START AND YOUR PEOPLE'S DREAM WILL COME TRUE.
PITY.

u mean?

Lets see how they will to Defend Yorubaland with mouth.

CoachDX: Another tribal bigot. What stops you from calling her a Nigerian.

It was to avert comments like this that i called her our daughter. Is Anambra a tribe?

Anti-Bible!

kudos to Bianca, another Anambra daugther (by marriage) representing well.

dozzzybaba: Ojuku was a despot and a megalomaniac.

Why did he invade the midwest? A region that had earlier proclaimed neutrality. Why did he annex Bonny, Escravos, Forcados and all other oil-producing areas that were non-iboland into his biafra territory.

Ojuku was a thief !

He 'annexed' midwest? Why then did Nigerian forces under the command of murtala muhammed who were supposed to liberate them, instead massacared adult males in Asaba?

knowledge is power
power corrupts
study hard and be wicked!

Mobbing thieves
leaders' use of siren.
Giving roger to police.
Buying of music through roadside music vendors via mobile phones
. seeing naked mentally ill people on the streets.

...too long!

blackpanda: I am not intimidating u, neither am I going for your jugular....thats just your conscience.
And if sin is sin as u say, that what makes u better than a homosexual.
Unless you are telling me u do not sin?
Thats the reason Jesus advocated for love, not condemnation. You are not the holiest, and therefore possess no right to condemn anybody.
Face your own salvation, and let people find theirs.

salvation is not meant to be personal otherwise you wouldnt have become a christian!
Again love is so widely misinterpreted that i need to ask you what you mean by it. My point- a christian has a duty to condemn a sin.
let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. JAMES 5:20

FrancisTony: LOL! You are with sin and you are condemning another sin.

You ought to be perfect before you can do that.

Two wrongs can never make a right. I think the greatest mistake christians make is their quest to approach religious issues with conventional wisdom and logic. Some gay apologists are not even gay themselves but are people who are afraid to defend their faith and convinction in order to avoid being "uncivilized".

blackpanda: Since you know howhow to quote bible very well, I hope u are also very perfect in your ways!
You must follow the laws of bible to the latter. because if you dont, your own part of hell will be the hottest!

one must not be perfect in order to condemn a sin. Stop intimidating people's anti-sodomy stance by attacking their jugular. sin is sin whatever perspective. There is God!

McWhillion: Then you've missed the point here, if an Eastern village is more expensive to live in than Lagos, do one need to tell you that it would be much more expensive to live in their cities.

re u serious? So you mean transportion, accomodation etc are cheaper in lagos than in "Eastern villages"?

McWhillion: I think most Eastern and South Eastern cities are quite expensive to live in. No South Western city should be up there including Lagos. Things are way more expensive in a typical Eastern village than in Lagos.

The topic is about cities and not villages.

You forgot to add hackers. If na lie ask nairaland owner.
