No PVC, No election. I don't know why pdp is scared of using pvcs when they know it would reduce election malpractice

Stop that your Lai Mohammed cloned lie. APC is just playing on the intelligence of gullible people like you, they are not been sincere. Joe Igbokwe (APC spokesperson in Lagos) was on STV last week where he canvassed for the use of Temporary Voters Card due to inability of INEC to fully distribute PVC in Lagos. Aside this, were you not in the country when the House of Reps made a resolution to INEC for TVCs to be used? Why are you APC jingoists so dubious in character?

OrlandoOwoh:
The threat by Niger Delta militants started about two years ago. He will lose and those militants will be dealt with. They will be denied of all privileges they fraudulently got through "our son."

If Mohammadu Buhari ever step to Aso Rock as president of this country again, be the first to call me a bastard. And please don't forget to quote me after March 28, GMB WILL NOT WIN THAT ELECTION AND HE WON'T RULE NIGERIA AGAIN. Period.

Calculia:
Those in power alone? Prof u don fall my hand...


Besides, what we have in Nigeria is beyond that gentle man definition.


As GEJ put it, in Nigeria we have thieves not corruption.

You're the true son of your parents. I am beginning to believe that Buhari is even more "literate" than this Tinubu-invented robot that calls himself Osibanjo. If his Oxford dictionary tells him corruption is only prevalent amongst those in power, he must also show us his certificates.

spott:
Corruption is defined as "dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery". The definition is simple and we all know what it is, yet Mr. President has spent the last several minutes of his media chat explaining to Nigerians what it is, suggesting we are all somehow confused about this.

The GEJ presidency has failed Nigerians. The facts are undeniable. ‪#‎ChangeWillCome‬

What's wrong with this puppy-head fake pastor? Imagine a Tinubu-dummy who laughingly posted the pictures of Bonkke Crusade as Kano APC rally coming here to teach us nonsense. Where did APC uproot him from? Gosh!

OrlandoOwoh:
Take your ranting to the deaf and the dumb. The President avoided the question on the threat by militant twice by saying he was attacked in the north by little children. He described it as treasonable. He is given us the impression that if he is attacked in the north, militants in the south south would heat the polity. Obasanjo was right, Jonathan is divisive.

Lai Mohammed twin-brother. Take a walk to an ENT expert and watch the chat again on YouTube. The president clearly absolved himself from any complicity in statements made by people who are erroneously labelled his "supporters". Are the militants members of the President's party or campaign team? For your information, Nigeria has been divided right from the forced Union of 1914. So don't come here to lie against Jonathan about been divisive. Even in the common area of religion, haven't your brain told you that northern Hausa Muslims don't pray in the same mosque with their fellow Yoruba Muslims? Is it Jonathan that caused that? You're just mischievous and sycophantic. If you expect Niger Delta militants to fold their harms and allow their kinsman to be humiliated and attacked in the northern part of this country, you are been utterly unreasonable. Jonathan WILL rule Nigeria till 2019.

I am sure the die-hard supporters of APC were utterly disappointed by the ease and seamlessness with which the president dispatched questions on thorny issues bothering on our polity. His answers were concise, unambiguous and spot on. That's the difference between a certificate-less cattle rearer and a PHD holder. Jonathan and Buhari are just incomparable.

OrlandoOwoh:
Buhari answered all the questions he was asked, unlike Jonathan that avoided questions on ex-militants threatening the unity of Nigeria over his feared loss, twice.

I am sure you watched the Media Chat on a black and white TV, or perhaps the cotton wools in your two ears were wet all through the period. Even the dullest listeners had perfect grips of the President's well spelt-out explanations on the issues raised. The problem with you and your likes is just ACUTE HATE SYNDROME (AHS) which will lead you to early demise if care is not taken.

We shall be keeping you posted here on this thread..

Seun, Ishilove, Lalasticlala, TheRealMrStan

Honestly, I can't just stop loving Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. So amiable, patriotic and unassuming. One of the highpoints of the chat was the thorough justice he did to the issue of STEALING AND CORRUPTION. I, for one day had never doubted his sincerity when he tried to clarify the dissimilarity or otherwise, between what constitutes stealing and corruption and I hope the MISCHIEVOUS APC SUPPORTERS will keep their mouths shut now and forever. GEJ WILL RULE NIGERIA TILL 2019.

tbaba1234:
Christiane Amanpour to interview Buhari 8pm.

That's good for him. He should continue to be interviewed by CNN, Sahara Reporters, AlJazeera etc but our president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (2015-2019) will talk to the people that matters on NTA, AIT and other terrestial TVs. Let Buhari move from pillar to post, he will not rule Nigeria again.

theshadyexpress:
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe has reacted to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s prediction that a new government will be formed on May 29, 2015.

It would be recalled that while speaking on election postponement, Obasanjo in an interview with Financial Times in Nairobi on Monday said: “I’ll only go by the constitution. By our constitution, there must be a new government on the 29th of May and the constitution lays out how that new government should emerge”.
Obasanjo also endorsed the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
Reacting Tuesday night, Okupe wrote on his Facebook page: “Someone was reported to have said “A new government will be installed on the 29th of may 2015″

Lamentations 3 vs 37 says “Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass when the Lord commandeth it not?

Isaiah 7 vs 7 says “Thus sayeth the Lord God, it shall not stand neither shall it come to pass.
“Please if you are a friend of President Jonathan say AMEN to this.”

http://dailypost.ng/2015/02/11/not-god-okupe-reacts-obasanjos-endorsement-buhari/

To start with, I say a big AMEN. Secondly, Okupe could not have said it better, Obasanjo is currently beating and dancing to his drum of self-destruct. Aside assuming a self-conferred oracle who determines how Nigeria is ruled, his arrogant disposition on national issues is becoming a nuissance. I think at this point in time, the president should withdraw any courtesy he has for OBJ and initiate his expulsion from PDP. He should be given a double dose of Abacha treatment.

Beautymc:
Everybody want to be noticed

Nigerian celebrities and public commentators no matter how respected they are, would always exhibit parochialism and sentimentalism in their sunmissions. As rich and mind boggling her writeup is, Chimamanda, characteristically polluted it by premising the poll postponement essentially on the fear of the president loosing the elections. Let's assume such postulation is cogent and admissible, was the fear entirely borne out of the president or his party's waning popularity? The answer is a definite NO. Rather such fear (if any) must have been fuelled by the apparent compromised PVC distribution that conferred undue advantage on Buhari and with such anomally, it would be foolhardy to have expected the president or his party to be indifferent. Curiously, none of the socalled political activists, democracy crusaders or ardent supporters of the opposition has ever mentioned the distorted PVC distribution in their opinions. This is sad.

A PRESIDENT WHO REFUSES TO DECLARE HIS ASSETs IS FILING TAXES ON HIS SALARY ONLY. Who are the fools he thinks he can deceive? Where are the taxes on his other holdings/assets?

You are the fool here. Swear by your life and that of your unborn children that the president has not declared his assets. Born liars.

Massive protest at Uwasota Area in Egor, Benin City as angry youths block roads and burn tyres. They want the state governor to resign for his failure to fix the Uwelu - Uwasota road. The people said they are tired of the deceit of APC government in Edo State.

Time changes so fast! Behold our "comrade-governor", a one-time leader of the NLC who held the nation by the jugular fighting and criticising every govt policy, who has now become the nemesis of common man, who was one of the last set of governors to implement megre N18,000 minimum wage, who once asked a widow "to go and die"... Let the feable minded open their inner intuition, let the shortsighted activate their third eyes, let the gullibles see the deceits in those promising to create 5million jobs in 4 years! Let the world be wary of the oppresive masquarades in APC who are preaching "change" today. It's all a ruse.

Everyone knows PDP is the bigger boy. If that midget called APC could share customised recharge cards, in fact I expect PheeDeePhee to further share Keke Marwa, the most important thing is for the certificate-less despot not to rule Nigeria again.

You went to Raypower? Even on Raypower fm people still call and say they are tired of the current government. What about the journalists that were shouting APC the other day? Someone should please tell Mr indomie noodles that Nigerians want a change.

Your principal is sure of winning the election, yet he fought for the postponement of the same election he is sure of winning? Go to the streets of Lagos, Edo, Benue, Abia and Kogi forget about the north east and see how people are screaming change. When the election result is announced na that time day go break for your head.

Sai Buhari/ Osinbajo

If you like, rant from now till March 28, the bottom line (as clarified by Okupe) is that elections are not won on Facebook or Twitter. By the time the realities dawn on you and other dreaming APC goons, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would have been sworn in for his second term.

Even the ferocious and mindless APC e-warriors on Nairaland and other social media would not have any reason to counter any of the points raised by Femi Aribisala in his writeup. For the benefit of hindsight, many of us had at various times highlighted some of those mischiefs from APC's gate of hell. We had always known that the allegation of missing $20b is a hoax. We had often times exposed the underlining factor for APC's condemnation of poll postponement... We were always swift to point out the fact that Sanusi was working for APC to discredit Jonathan's administration and we are now telling Nigerians that Jega's INEC has been heavily compromised to rig the forthcoming elections in favour of Buhari. Let the discerning and liberal minds see the evils in that satanic party called APC. They will bring Nigeria to political and economic abyss if voted into power and I say in bold tense; GOD FORBID.

KwoiZabo:
Its obvious to us now that these people don't have the interest of Nigerians only sheer hatred for the president. But even if the President is from a minority tribe God has helped him because at the moment his only challenger will soon start serving his jail term for lying under oath and committing pejury. The God of the minority is alive. Cow wey no get tail na God dey pursue fly for am.

OBJ endorses Buhari. Almighty God endorses GEJ

God bless you. Thousands of Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo (OBJ) shall not and WILL NOT stop Goodluck Ebele Jonathan from becoming the next president-elect anytime the elections are held. OBJ is not God and will never be one.

With unfolding events and reckless statements from senile "statesmen" in recent time, I forsee OBJ going back to prison once again, but unlike how it played out in 1998, he wouldn't come out to become president. OBJ's ignominious end is at hand.

yibomustgo:
THE Presidency and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), have denied alleged plot to remove Prof Attahiru Jega, saying it is mischievous and unfounded.

A source in the Office of the National Security Adviser disclosed this yesterday in Abuja to reporters that “the rumoured sack of Jega is not from the Presidency but part of the propaganda by the opposition to soil the good name of the President, to discredit the government and cause trouble”.

The Presidency wondered why such rumour should gain ground when there is no corresponding letter from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) announcing the sack or with the knowledge of the Attorney-General(AG) of the Federation.

“Can such a decision be taken without AG knowing. Is that possible? Can this happen without any of such letter confirming it from the OSGF. If the opposition are sure let them tender such a letter from the SGF or produce such a letter from the Presidency”

He said it would be important if politicians take precautions in making such damaging utterance as such falsehood is capable of inciting violence and unnecessarily heat up the polity.

He said the constitution is well respected by the decision making process in the country and as well as in the discharge of duties, therefore it would be foolhardy for some people to assume that an official of government would be sacked or dislodged from his responsibilities for personal interest including the office of the Chairman of INEC or any official for that matter.

“The questions of leave or no leave, the laws are clear about it and the Government has nothing to do with that. The man has a job to do and please allow him to do the job without dragging the government into it and the man working under the rule of law”.

“This is the government that has been obeying the rule of law and is not going to abandon its adherence to it. Please they should allow Jega to do his work and stop heating up the polity. They should stop fanning the embers of trouble and inciting people into violence,” the source added.

Chief Press Secretary to INEC chairman, Kayode Idowu disclosed yesterday that rather than proceeding on a compulsory leave as it is been rumored, Jega is focused on using the extension of the 2015 polls to perfect the commission’s strategies to conduct what would be seen as the best election in the nation’s history.

He noted that the appointment of the INEC chairman was not under the Nigerian Civil Service Rules, stressing that even if his service would not be renewed by the Federal Government, he would serve out his tenure which he noted would elapse on June 30, 2015.

There has been reports that the INEC chairman would be asked to proceed on a compulsory leave on March 1, adding that the federal government has commenced the search for his replacement who would conduct the 2015 elections.

Idowu also disclosed that the ballot papers for Nigeria’s presidential election scheduled to hold on 28 March were ready, stressing that they have been in safe custody at the vault of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), waiting for deployments to the various states.

He also disclosed that thousands of ad hoc staff were being trained for the elections initially billed to take place on February 14 and 28 but shifted to March 28 and April 11.

If Jega is sacked today, nothing, I repeat nothing would happen, APC and the empty barrels cannot do jack about it. They will only blab and make noise. Didn't they threaten fire and brimstone against postponement? Was the election not postponed? If APC/Buhari and their jingoists (local or international) try anything funny, they will rot in prison.

ola6:
Don't mind that slowpoke. Why didn't their oga Amechi lead a protest after the postponement? Thier oga sef dey fear not to talk of ordinary slave to a drug baron and murderer in Burdillion. Na only online mouth them get. Btw, anyone that has contact to Tinubu should tell him he is NOT THE LEADER OF THE SOUTH-WEST! F$%k!!! If he dies today, only his APC people from Osun state/Iragbiji will protest (which Omisore/PDP score 45%). No Lagosian will protest!!!


Bloody twats!!!

Sometimes, GEJ pisses me off! Walahi!!! Arrest this frog-eye drug baron and break his two legs. He is a murderer and anyone who kills by the gun MUST die by the gun. Its called KARMA!!!

Honestly GEJ is beginning to piss me off too. If care is not taken, these evil APC clowns will push him out of power through propaganda, all because of his over-simplicity. They dared not try all this rubbish with OBJ when he was in power.

F22RAPTOR:
look who is talking about a coup...the coup plotter himself....smh

Amazing! So the coupist knows coup plotting is bad. Come to think of it, does it mean many of these APC leaders are intellectually daft or suffers from mouth diarihea? How can they be uttering statements that implicate themselves? The other time, it was Fashola who accused Agbaje, a 53 years old man of been too old to rule Lagos whereas his party has a 72 years old coupist as its presidential candidate! What a contradiction!

autotrader014:
This is very bad, why cant kids here in the south be allowed to have a PVC. This shiits only happens in the north and we sit here and watch being cheated.. This is pure cheating

Op, na today? That was how Buhari got 12million votes in 2011. The same card was often played when figures were abitrarily allocated to the north in national census. It pains me deeply when goaty individuals like Tinubu and Ameachi insanely allow themselves to be used to subvert the interest of their people because of personal interests. Naija, I hail thee.

vandutchboy:
The PDP goverment led by Goodluck Jonathan isnt serious,there was still a week left to collect PVCs,they should have simple announced a public holdiday for collections of PVCs if the goverment was that worried. Donèt you also take into account some people simple didènt want to collect their PVCs. In a country like Canada only 30% of people voted in the election that were registered. Not everyone has faith in the electoral system that has been rigged from the time Nigeria has had independence. Please be sensible in your post and dont write like an illiterate.

You're trying tooth and nail to crave a picture of an intellectual but you are brazenly empty. Does Canada have heterogenous configuration of more than 250 ethnic nationalities? Do the Fed govt have to declare public holidays for INEC to execute its timetable that was concieved four years ago? If your brain is not half dead, how credible would an election that has 30% voters turnout in Nigeria with more than 60% of that figure coming from the north be? Why not keep quite instead of displaying gross naivity? I won't stoop so low to either read or reply your incongrous post again. Blockhead!

vandutchboy:
So you can tell all that just by looking at his face your a bloody joker and very unserious. PVC were going to be available for collection until the 13th. All these allegations agaisnt Professor Jega are unfounded I expected someone educated like you to see through the conspiracy against him

You must be daft not to have seen the reasons I adduced for Jega's partisanship. Did you not read the part that says Fashola only collected his PVC yesterday? Are you not aware that more than 23 millions Nigerians (mostly from the south) were yet to collect their PVCs as at the time Jega said INEC was good to go? Why are people like you so brainless?

Surely they shall gather but will never prevail. Charge and Bail lawyers.

Sorry, you're not in the position to determine where my patriotism lies, that's my personal decision. In the same vein, just take a careful look at my posts that revolve around the president and pinpoint any of them that signifies blind support for him and I bet with you, there won't be any. No matter what anyone says, GEJ is a good president and he deserves our support as citizens. If there's anybody that has (concrete) evidence of the President's misdemeanor, let them bring it out. What I will never accept or dwell upon is APC induced lies and allegations that lack substance.

(xi) Many states yet to get balance of Card Readers


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/inec-postpones-elections/

Each time I look at Jega's face, all I see is deceit and I think he has been heavily compromised by powers-that-be in the north to rig the elections in favour of Buhari. With all the lapses noted, I am yet to know his rationale for repeatedly saying INEC was prepared for the election when all available indices say otherwise. Fashola, a sitting APC governor succeeded in collecting his PVC after hues and cry just yesterday whereas more than 80% of northerners (including insurgency ravaged northeast) had obtained theirs few weeks back. Are the issues of compromise raised by Southern leaders true after all?
