₦airaland Forum

what about the results from other states of the federation, is it only oyo, lagos and delta were represented on this forum

i mean, national duties.

Nigerians na wa, Buhari has condemned the violence, his party has condemned the violence, what else do you want him to do? Let NTA go to his house to interview him, at least then they can ask him to say something about the violence. Jonathan should man up and take the required decisions, does he think that leading Nigeria will be a bed of roses, he needs to take the tough decisions.

That is not an outright condemnation! his choice of words does not connote total condemnation of violence against innocent civilians.he was more focused on campaign and probing of security agent who go about doing there national .

pls send the price per plot and detail to my e mail [email]olaisrich@yahoo.com[/email

@ confluence,
you are 500% right! the bank % is calculated in per annum,what they are willing to give is too low. Meanwhile, i made an investment of GHC 1500 with 20% monthly interest with somebody which is more better than committing GHC 10000 with low interest in 3 month. I had made a U turn!

@confluence,
Thanks! Though i made the enquiries via telephone cos i was out of Accra, now am back and am going to do it one on one, am using intercontinental bank Ghana, if what you said is true,they will never have my money!

i think i now have enough information at my disposal an i can now make my decision,i reside in Ghana and i have about GHC 10,000 (about NGN 1,000,000 equivalent) to be put in a FD account here in Ghana,but i was contemplating bringing the same to Nigeria maybe i can get a better deal,base on the information i've got here i found out that Ghana is better. Ghana inflation rate is presently @ 8.4%, and my banker told me that i can get FD deal @11.6 a month, is that not fair enough considering my alternative?

chei! Kolo Toure don kolo! with that innocent face!

5)Jonathan is relaxed
Jonathan is so relaxed. When a man is so relaxed, you can tell that he has very little to worry about. The Buhari ticket would have worried the Jonathan camp if they had teamed up with ACN. But as it is always with the opposition their selfish interests carried the day.
Before the PDP presidential Primaries, Jonathan was very uneasy until Babangida was out of the race. When Atiku was left in the race, Jonathan became relaxed because victory was now certain. Atiku was an easy case. Exactly the same is playing out with Buhari. Jonathan's relaxed mien suggests that Buhari's CPC is nothing but a paper tiger!!

This is what i keep saying anywhere on this politics section, wisdom they say is profitable to direct, it is a pity that PDP is on the verge to rule us for 16 yrs just because some political gladiators had commited political blunders engineered by selfishness which altered the alliance btw CPC and ACN. They should all be ready for the injuries it will incure on their parties an the nation

Also, you can talk with your leader in your church, he is annointed for that purpose

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Eph 4:11-12 (KJV)

l

Remember, not all of them are prophets,moreover, the Holy spirit we be more please and willing to speak to you directly than speaking to an intermidiary, even if He does, it is to confirm what He had already told you!

this is a good idea! i am also interested in the service,pls contact me [email]olaisrich@yahoo.com[/email]

i am not in the camp of any candidate, but by deductive  reasoning we can tell the direction in which the election may likely go,i have nothing against the so called manifesto it is a piece of write up,or what makes you think GEJ cannot crafted one out if he knows that is what you are agitating for, but you will all need to agree with me that a presidential candidate needed to be voted for, win the election and declare by the inec as the winner before he can implement any "heavenly manifesto". A larger % of the electorate are illiterate that does not know any manifesto content, when you explain to them they will tell you that that is a strategy of all politicians when they are canvasing for vote,that is to say that may not be the determinant of the election outcome.
The bitter truth is that there is no formidable opposition against GEJ, ACN and CPC alliance would had be the best that can shake the incubency. my resolution is that they should go and fight gubernitorial and assembly seat and come back next season!.

It's the same pessimism you are now displaying that brought us where we are as a nation today. You may remain a pessimist if you chose to, however those of us who believe in a workable Nigeria will remain positive.

there is difference btw pessimism and reality,what am saying is reality! i am not begging you to accept it,but we shall all see!

i pity BB with all that so callled[b] "The Best Manifesto"[/b] it will surprise them that not all the Almajiris in the north,the Cocao famer in the southwest,and the fishermen in the Niger Delta understand that. It is there alliance that can deliver
us from PDP,which they(ACN and CPC) had failed to achieve. Even if they received there Manifesto from heaven,it's going to be come next season for them. TELL THEM!

but my question is: how can we easily know the will of God on certain contemporary issues that are not unequivocally state in the bible? Topics that borders on issues as; Birth control, cloning, etc

After passing the test of[b] not conforming to the world[/b] and mind renewal,divine will of God for a specific purpose is born! but don't forget that God speak to us every day because He lives in us and it's real(John 14:16-17)
but we are too carnal with regards to spiritual gaurdiance,by the time we bring our five senses on the scene then the confussion will set in!

One day my diary is about to fall at busy bus-stop, and te Holy spirit told me as an inner voice,as i was debating it within my self that why would God concerned about my diary,the dairy fell and all the business cards in it scattered to the extent that i have to be removing it under the legs of the crowd,which is exactly what God forsaw and want to avoid for me. Then i learnt that day that God has concern for everything about me,that is why He want to lead us everyday not just for one thing!

this forum suppose to unite us not to divide us. i begin to believe somebody's post in the politics section that the plot is to make this forum active than ever,since tribal issue generate a lot of response,if not, i don't see the reason why this post should be in the front page.Tribalism is real! but why not build on our strenght instead of our weaknesses.

@post chelsea is currently on a free fall and i am sure they will not get a favourable result on tuesday. I pray copahegen will be at their very best because that is also a factor. But then what about copahegen 3 chelsea 0 chelsea is going down!

my enemy will not triumph over me! you will be surprise that the opposite is the case!

i am using nokia 5330,pls how would i activate this so call ovi?

I am begin to change my likeness towards GEJ, twice had I disappointed! He shouldn't have tried to bring the party PDP to lime light by attacking opposition, if he want to win by strategy, everyone knows what this party is made of. the beauty of democracy is that people in elective position can only deceive masses for a specified period of time, in which another decision will be made.this is the time of NEW DECISION! this is the day of salvation!

they want to continue to receive allocation from inec but don't to be responsible!

The plan by the Independent National Electoral Commission to de-register political parties that failed to field candidates for the forthcoming poll has attracted remarks from various commentators. CHARLES ABAH writes on stakeholders’ concerns for the matter



The conclusion of the party primaries finally ended on January 31 with the submission of the list of candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission. But five days after the exercise, the accompanying undercurrents are far from being over. Given that many discerning commentators are still talking about it, is a pointer to the weight that the exercise that lasted for more than one month carries with it.

In fact, stakeholders’ views on the exercise revolve from the sublime to the serious. It is either that INEC has recognised a faction against another or that the contestants and the political gladiators are seeking reconciliation or approaching the courts for one kind of injunction or the other. In states like Anambra, Oyo, Enugu, Plateau, Borno, to mention but a few, the controversy is on and every one is on the alert not wanting to be caught unawares. Even former President Olusegun Obasanjo and his governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel of Ogun State are, in the main, locked in a battle of wit.

For many other commentators, the outcome of the exercise together with the just concluded voter registration is one of the signals that the forthcoming poll will eventually come to be, in spite of the hiccups that resulted in the cancellation of the initial INEC timetable.

Put in another way, the conclusion of the primaries points to the fact that the electoral body under the superintendence of Prof. Attahiru Jega, is warming up to conducting another poll, the fourth major uninterrupted electoral poll in the country’s nascent democracy in the last 11 years. Indeed, the first was organised in 1999, while the second and the third were organised in 2003 and 2007.

However, beyond the stakeholders’ accusations and counter-accusations of imposition of candidates that have trailed the primaries, many analysts are by far more worried about the fate of the many political parties in the land. Curiously, available information show that of the 63 political parties in the country, only 43 of them were able to meet the INEC deadline of fielding candidates for the April general elections.

Interestingly, the development has sent the tongues wagging and wondering about the fate of the 20 remaining political parties that did not put up any kind of representation to the electoral umpire in preparation for the coming poll. While INEC has made a tacit declaration that the end is imminent for the 20 parties, many analysts are questioning the rationale behind the planned de-registration.

In fact, the National Conscience Party Deputy National Chairman (South-West), Chief Amitolu Shittu vehemently opposed the idea, saying the action was against the constitution. The politician, who also cited a Supreme Court judgment, said the issue of party registration or otherwise should not be the exclusive preserve of the INEC.

Arguing that Nigerians should not be restricted in relation to political association, Shittu stated that the number of parties that operated in the country was far less than what was obtainable in India and the United States of America. Even in the US, he noted that there was provision for independent candidacy.

Beyond canvassing this argument, Shittu added a new twist to it, positing that the fresh scheming to de-list some weak parties was the handiwork of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party that had vowed to rule the country for 60 years.

Instead of allowing the PDP game plan to work, the NCP leader implored the opposition parties in the country to close ranks in order to ‘flush out the party,’ which he alleged, was suffocating other political parties in the country.

Nonetheless, the spokesman of the Afenifere Renewal Group, Yinka Odumakin, was very philosophical in reacting to the matter.

Odumakin who is now the spokesman of the Muhammadu Buhari/Tunde Bakare-led Congress for Progressive Change said, “I guess those parties were aware of what the electoral law says. Even when we may not agree with the provisions of the law, it is still a law.

“Political parties exist mainly to contest political offices in furtherance of their objectives and when they choose not to fulfill that obligation, the blame cannot go the electoral body. Again, this development has vindicated the position that water will find its level as far as the number of parties in the country is concerned.”

The former governor of Kaduna State and now a Peoples Redemption Party’s governorship candidate, Balarabe Musa, also toed Odumakin’s view, saying that de-registration was what the Electoral Act enunciated.

He, nonetheless, posited that the Act was contrary to the 1999 constitution that guarantees for the individual’s freedom to form political parties.

Musa, therefore, enjoined the leadership of INEC to be cautious in applying the provisions of the Electoral Act, warning that some of the parties might decide to drag the commission to court.

He said, “One of the parties can decide to take INEC to court to contest the de-registration exercise and I tell you if the party gets a favourable judgment, the pronouncement can, indeed, scuttle the forthcoming poll.”

But the Ogun State Chairman of the Action Congress Party of Nigeria, Alhaji Ola Bello, did not mince words in declaring his stand on the issue. “If de-registration is what the law says, for not being able to field any candidate for the various elective posts in the country, so be it,” he said with a touch of finality.

According to him, the essence of forming a political party is to be able to represent and satisfy the yearnings of a people and once this is lacking then, the party has no place in the society.

He added that political parties were no social organisations and if they did not meet the aspirations of the people, they would naturally fizzle out.
