Iroh88:
I was getting irritated by the writer's bias, but when I got to the point below:
I couldn't stomach the irritation anymore.

Firstly, the writer made it sound as though it is INEC's fault some people have decided not to go out and collect their PVCs!! Of course not all eligible voters have theirs ready (which is a lapse that cuts across all the geopolitical zones), but the writer tried to make it look as though people from "Jonathan's strongholds" are the worst hit. Does he have a proof of that??

INEC published a data detailing the percentage PVC collection as against what has been made available across the country and one saw that Lagos, which constitutes one of the major advantage of the opposition, was lagging behind with barely over 50% of cards available collected so far, while states like Akwa-Ibom has very large percentage (84% there about). I bet the writer is ignorant of this!!! Does INEC have to coerce voters to go out and collect their PVCs?? The answer is, NO!

And back to the highly disgraceful quote above; the writer stated the incidences of violence the opposition has suffered as though it were some minor thing that could easily be waved aside, yet when he mentioned those suffered by PDP, he sounded like heaven was about to fall!! Tell me, since he chose to use the words apart from, let me join him in the game of "trivialising": now, "apart from" the burning of Jonathan's bus and the destruction of his campaign posters, what other casualty has PDP suffered?? People (APC members) were shot at at in PH and their secretariat bombed, but the writer imagines these are of lesser severity compared to burning of a bus and destruction of posters from the tone of his voice!!

How bias can a journalist be!!!

This write up is one of such things that fuel the violence the writer wants to make us believe he's preaching against. The guy must be restrained before he causes more harm.

When I got to that quote, I stopped and decided to check out the link. I wasn't surprised when I saw the name of the writer.

Smh.

The Nigerian military has dissociated itself from comments by a senior cleric blaming the Fulani and Kanuri ethnic nationalities for Boko Haram, citing military sources.
The military described the statement made by Methodist Archbishop, Samuel Uche, as a personal opinion.
At the Armed Forces Remembrance church service in Abuja on Sunday, Mr. Uche said soldiers fighting against Boko Haram informed him that Fulani and Kanuri, in their bid to seize power and portray President Goodluck Jonathan in a bad light, were behind the brutal insurgency.
He made the remark at an event attended by President Goodluck Jonathan, the Senate President, David Mark, military top brass and other important personalities.
Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES, Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, said those who spoke to the Archbishop could be individuals who shared their opinions with him, adding that several individuals masquerade and call themselves soldiers.
“The man said individuals spoke to him; that does not represent the official position of the military,” Mr. Olukolade, a Major General said.
Mr. Uche, during his sermon said “Let me reveal to you this evening and at this important service at this juncture that some of our soldiers, because you know we Bishops have impact in the society, we relate with soldiers and all manner of people. And some of the people in warfront have confided in us that apart from some mercenaries from Chad, Libya as well as Somalia, 95 percent of those fighting our country are of Fulani and Kanuri origin.”

They even assalt a priest of God now? Apc what's all this aggression for? Does this happen in other countries please Is this democracy or democrazy abi demonstration of craze or crazy demonstration like my friend fela asked?

Tension is mounting in Edo State following the alleged beaten of a Catholic Priest, Rev. Father Peter Udo of Uromi Diocese at the weekend by aides of Governor Adams Oshiomhole.

The assault, which was allegedly due to the failure of the cleric to clear for the governor’s convoy, was carried out along Amiendokhian-Ugboha Road in Esan South-East Local Government Area of the state.

Reports had it that Oshiomnhole and his guest, Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, was on their way to commission the Amiendokhian- Ugboha Road when the incident occurred.

Rev. Father Udo, who hails from Ujiogba in Esan-West Local Government Area, was on way to his Parish, St. Denis Catholic Church Ugboha in Esan South- East, when he encountered the convoy of the governor.

Daily Independent gathered from a dependable source closed to the Uromi Diocese of the Catholic Church that the priest, who is now receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital in the area, was beaten into a state of coma by the aides for not leaving the road for the governor’s convoy.

”It is true that one our priest, Rev. Father Peter Udo, who is in charge of St. Denis Catholic Church Parish in Ugboha, was beaten into a state of coma by aides to Governor Adams Oshiomhole along Amiendokhian-Ugboha Road when he went to commissioned the road.

“From what we gathered, the offence of the priest was that he did not jump into the bush for the governor’s convoy to pass. He was humiliated and beaten even in his cassock. At the appropriate time, the Uromi Diocese of the Catholic Church will issue a statement on the issue”, the source said.

However, a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Peter Okhiria, accused the Independent Television (ITV), owned by Chief Gabriel Igbinedion for reporting falsehood, insisting that the governor was never at Ujiogba as reported by the station.

Joseph Mbu, the Assistant Inspector General (AIG) in charge of Zone 7 Police Command, has warned that the police would no longer tolerate the killing of its personnel under any guise.
Mr. Mbu gave the warning in Abuja at a dinner held on Saturday night for policemen under his command, to appreciate their hard work and sacrifice in 2014. The command comprises FCT, Kaduna and Niger states.
“We are hardly appreciated, wherever there is crisis, we go there to make peace but we are killed.
“Honestly, any policeman who is killed by any community in my zone, I will bring that village down, we have to rise against the killing of policemen.
“I am radical officer but a rebel with a cause; we protect everybody, we do not work for ourselves, we are working for the nation; we must be respected, regarded and appreciated’’, he said.
Mr. Mbu noted with satisfaction that except for some communal clashes, the zone was relatively peaceful in 2014.
He promised to ensure peace during and after the forthcoming general elections, warning, however, that the command was prepared to deal with any post-election security issues.
The AIG charged police personnel in the three commands that make up the zone to be professional, civil and friendly in dealing with the public.
He also charged them to be courageous in confronting situations.

A few days after he attended the wedding ceremony of President Goodluck Jonathan’s niece, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said he would not compromise on his criticism of the president, insisting that he (Jonathan) has failed in his performance.
Mr. Obasanjo showed up at the wedding ceremony of Mr. Jonathan’s niece in Abuja five days after he accused the president of squandering $35 billion crude oil savings left behind by his administration.
He also alleged that the president, who is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the February 14 election, had depleted the nation’s foreign reserves account from $60 left by late President Umaru Yar’Adua to $40 billion.
The former president told PREMIUM TIMES in an exclusive telephone interview on Monday that he would not stop criticising Mr. Jonathan despite attending the wedding because the issues had to do with the progress of Nigeria.
“There is no personal issue between me and him,” Mr. Obasanjo said. “He invited me to his daughter’s wedding, I had time and I attended. So, there is no issue of reconciliation or un-reconciliation. You people don’t understand. The wedding was a social event,” Mr. Obasanjo said.
“He (Jonathan) has failed in his performance and that I have made clear. No compromise about that. There is no compromise about anything that has to do with the progress of Nigeria. If I have an event I will invite him, if he has time he can attend.”
“You people don’t understand this matter. I have nothing against him. I am not fighting him but I won’t compromise on serious matters about Nigeria.”
While hosting South West women in his Abeokuta home on December 4, Mr. Obasanjo, who ruled the nation democratically between 1999 and 2007, launched a fresh attack against Mr. Jonathan alleging that the president squandered $35 billion Excess Crude money left by his administration.
He told the women that his administration left $25 billion to his successor, late President Umaru Yar’Adua, who subsequently raised the sum to $35 billion.
Mr. Obasanjo also said he left $40 billion in Nigeria’s foreign reserves account after paying the outstanding debt at the time and that Mr. Yar’Adua raised the reserves to $60 billion.
He lamented that the Jonathan administration depleted the reserves to $40 billion.
The former president however said he had no grudges against the president.
“I have no grudges against Jonathan and I think Jonathan has no grudges against me. I’m not quarrelling with Jonathan but all I know is that whatever is good for Nigeria, that I’m ready to die for.”
Before the visit of the southwest women, Mr. Obasanjo had repeatedly accused the president of promoting and tolerating corruption.
Speaking at a book launch in honour of the pioneer Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, Mustapha Akanbi in November last year, Mr. Obasanjo, who nominated Mr. Jonathan as running mate to Mr. Yar’Adua in 2007, had rated the president’s performance as “below average”.
He also stated at that event that the nation’s economy “is in doldrums, if not in reverse”.
In his new book, “My Watch” which he released last month, the former president, lambasted the president, describing him as a self-centred politician who thinks less of the country and fraternise with corrupt and questionable characters.
The former president’s most scathing criticisms against Mr. Jonathan are contained in his famous 18-page letter to the president in December 2013 in which he criticised his style of administration. He also accused Mr. Jonathan of failure to deliver on his electoral promises, strengthen national unity and arrest corruption.
Mr. Obasanjo also accused the president of reneging on his promise of spending just a term in office and of training a killer squad ahead of this year’s general elections.

It's well

Apc paid groups scared of agbaje wining since 2014

Truth be told for real

Getting a small group of people to agree on anything is difficult, but we’re going to try anyway. In fact, we’re going to try to build consensus among a very large group of people — the daters of the world. Because if we can spread the word, gain acceptance and put a stop to these extremely annoying first date conversations we will have done humankind a service beyond measure.

Most veteran daters could make this list on their own. Newbies will want to read on and avoid the kinds of date chatter that is common and extremely annoying.

#1 ANYTHING AT ALL that has to do with your ex
Yes, you knew this was coming. It doesn’t matter what the subject matter is. PLEASE don’t tell us about your ex on a date. If the story is negative, you’ll come off looking like a bitter victim. If the story is positive, you’ll come off looking like you’re still pining. God forbid the story is about some exotic trip you took together, as we will feel instantly inadequate wondering if we can ever afford such a trip. Worst of all is the casual reference, “Well, my ex was a professional football player for the Atlanta Falcons, but the point is he was taking me to dinner one time…” Yes, what was the point of your story?
If you are asked, “Have you ever been to France?” You might say, “My ex and I went in 2007.” But leave it there.

#2 Topics that Revolve Around your Affluence
This can be tricky, because hobbies often reflect our income. When you talk about your ski trip last March you’re signaling that you have enough money to fly to first class. The best way to avoid being completely annoying in this regard is to stop talking about toys and start talk about experiences.
For instance, it might be fascinating to hear your date talk about how he/she hiked Kilimanjaro – the pain, the triumph. You will certainly be aware that it costs several thousand dollars to make such a journey, but the conversation will revolve around the experience, and you might have similar accomplishments to share that required amazing perseverance.

#3 Tales of Your Old Glory Days
There’s nothing like a walk through the past with a semi-stranger. As a general rule, first dates should be light on the life history. Your date is much more interested in what you’re up to now, but the truly annoying conversationalist goes back to the good old days –when you first moved to town and spent every night socializing (more on this later), when you had that great job that sent you to London once a month. Spending too much time on any of these past glories makes your current life seem a little less interesting, no matter how many times you say, “I’m so glad to be done with that period of my life.”

#4 Pushing Your Agenda
Most people are pretty polite on a date. In some ways this makes you a hostage of the person you’re with. Sure, you could stand up and say, “YOU’RE INSANE. I’M LEAVING!” But who does that? You sit quietly, nod and wait for your chance to yawn and say, “Wow, I’ve got to get up early tomorrow.”
This politeness gives some people the green light to unveil their social/political/religious agenda. Talking about your interest in politics, for example, is one thing. Pulling a photo of Buhari out of your wallet and ranting about PDP party is something else entirely.
Of course, on the flipside if you are aggressively pushing some social/political/religious issue on the first date, you might be doing your date partner a big favor. The sooner they know, the sooner they can start to yawn.

#5 Your Fabulous Party Past
“Then there was this one time that we drank Tecate and Tequila all day and I ended up going for a swim” Really? How charming. Your days spent imbibing drink and drugs may seem funny to you, but we don’t care. What is the purpose of trotting out your old battle stories — to prove you were crazy, hip, a free spirit, or a drug addict? Again, your date wants to know what you’re up to these days, not in the party past. However, if you’re still binge drinking and spilling bong water on the rug, the first date might be a perfect time to share that information.

#6 The Minute Details of Your Job 
Most people who are good at their jobs are detail oriented. They get proficient at zeroing in on the small elements that create success. Because people spend hours and hours a day working on these projects and work with people who are also focused on them, they may get the impression that the work they do is FASCINATING.
Let us assure you that this is almost certainly not the case.
Oh sure there are exceptions. There’s lawyer working on a fascinating double-homicide trial, or the physician who has just performed a brain transplant, or the film director who just spent the day working with Genevieve. But for the most part, your job is not fascinating to your date. They might politely ask questions about it to make conversation, but please don’t launch into a description of your “crazy” work world. “So, Anna in accounting cannot process the TPS forms until I get clearance signatures from the compliance people. Today I told my Senior Director Sam, there’s no way I’m routing this through marketing.” PLEASE STOP! Feel free to give a general outline, but job details cannot be mixed with alcohol and heavy machinery.

#7 Your Health Challenges 
As we’ve said before, you want to keep first date conversation light. Telling your date that you’re having a cyst removed next week is not light. Talking about your chronic diverticulitis is not light. In fact, almost any medical condition is TMI on a first date. Like it or not, we’re drawn to people who are healthy and vibrant, and your chatter about medical procedures has a negative impact on that.
Serious medical conditions, like epilepsy, are a different kind of important judgment call, but our advice has always been no first date medical revelations. See if you even like each other before you start sharing your most intimate secrets.

#8 Talking About All The Other People You’re Dating 
We can all assume that attractive single people are out mixing and mingling with other single people. The last thing you want to hear on a date is details about those encounters. It is understandable that two people who met online might want to talk about the process. Certainly nothing wrong with that.
The problem occurs when you get into the details. “I’ve been on 135 facebook dates in the last two years.” You can’t speak these words without having your date think, “What is wrong with this person that 135 others have failed?” And the other side of the coin, “I’ve been online dating for two years and you’re my first real date,” is pretty scary as well. The less said the better.
