I just got out of an all night meeting with party leaders and I can tell you categorically clear, that Ammaechi is the chosen candidate for VP. This will be announced by APC latest tomorrow. Let us join hands and campaign for these change agents!

CramJones,
Are you aware that liars will go to hell?
Prof. Osinbajo has been picked. Which meeting did you attended that produced Amachi?

We just need to reset this country. I see Buhari's finger pressing "RESET".
May we never throw away this God given opportunity.

bamidele029:
Of course he should reject it. How can there be 806 delegates and then 860 votes
That one no be election

Koro is only a victim of the kind of evil he specializes on. I have no sympathy for him at all.
Let him taste what he has been dishing out to people on behalf of his evil party PDP.

For my archive.

From the muslim point of view:

There are four absolutely obligatory conditions for a marriage or ‘nikaah’ to be deemed lawful in the Sight of Shariah and of Allah Subhanah:
Proposal by one party and acceptance by the other.
The determination of ‘mehr’ for the bride.
The availability of at least two witnesses to the marriage contract.
The consent of the parents/guardians (wali) of the bride.



If even one of the above four obligatory conditions of a ‘nikaah’ are not honored, the marriage will not be deemed lawful, null and void in the Sight of Shariah Law and of Allah Subhanah.



Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2078 Narrated by Aisha, Ummul Mu`minin

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: 'The marriage of a woman who marries without the consent of her guardians (wali) is void.' (He (saws) said these words three times.)



Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3137 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "A woman may not give a woman in marriage, nor may she give herself in marriage, for the immoral woman is the one who gives herself in marriage."



It is unlawful in Shariah Law for a woman to give herself in marriage, or to marry someone without the prior consent of her ‘wali’ (parents, guardians, etc.).



If the parents/wali/guardians of the bride are believers, and if a woman marries someone without the prior consent of her ‘wali’, or if any of the above listed four absolutely obligatory conditions on a ‘nikaah’ are violated….that marriage contract will be deemed null and void in the Sight of Allah Subhanah and in the Sight of Shariah Law.

The story of Nigeria. A theif leaves his party, sings praises to President Jonathan and trala! He is an innocent man! Impunity is what you get with a clueless corrupt and wicked government! Well done Nigerians for voting GEJ the supporter and acquitter of thieves.

-CramJones

Original reason why you ported to PDP and almost immediately started a campaign of calumny against your former party.
I agree absolutely with someone who once said on this forum that PDP is the right place for all scammers, subsidy fraudsters and those who want freedom from prosecution from all corruption related offences.

OkijaAmaka:
I prefer Atiku to all the presidential aspirants even Jonathan self.

My dad wont stop voting Buhari though, just called him on phone today and he still maintain his stance.

That is why your dad is an elder, what elders see while sitting down, children may not see even if they climb to the the top of an iroko tree. God bless your dad.

Let's join hands together to rescue Nigeria in 2015.

Another 4 years of this government will be too long.

Excellent combo but I'm apprehensive. PDP will have a good reason to wage a religious campaign and religious bigots will believe them. May God take control and open our eyes to what is good for us as a nation.

Interesting scenarios. I know that more than 50% of voters in the NE, NW, NC and SW did not turn up in 2011, I hope politicians will mobilise better in 2015.

[quote author=AIRDIG post=27350623][/quote]

God will bless you beyond your imagination for this analysis. The saTANists will soon run out of lies.

Now that these saTANists have exhausted their bags of lies and scales are falling off people's eyes. What next will they resort to.

Blakyclyde:


But why are the prospective vice presidents from the South-West?


So many questions than answers.

If you choose Pope as VP from the south east, as long as the party is APC, people from that region will not vote for him. They will call him Alhaji Pope. South East should not benefit from what they did not work for. Politics is a game of numbers. You got it?

Seems Nigerians are now ready for liberation from economic and mental slavery. Cooking lies about some islamization bullshit is not working again.

GEJ does not believe in keeping any promise. He just tell you whatever you want to hear at that time. Let us chase him out and fix our country.

My Projection for the south south is that PDP will win by about 85%. APC can try to reduce the voters figure by having very strong presence in every polling booth to reduce the statistically doubtful voter turn out in the region in 2011 elections which is far higher than the national average.

It is now safe to assume that the 2015 Presidential election race has begun in earnest.
It is also safe to assume that it will be a two horse race between the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan and APC's General Muhammadu Buhari.
Let us start to look at how the race will look like if the elections are free and fair.

My projection in the South East is that PDP will win by about 92%. APC can try to reduce the vote figures by having strong representation in every single polling booth to reduce the statistically doubtful voter turn out experienced in 2011 which is far higher than national average voter turn out.

I think RCCG Pastor Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, former attorney general of Lagos State will get the VP ticket.

APC should go all out to match voter turn out for voter turn out.
The idea of 80-90% voter turn out in SS/SE compared to 35-40% voter turn out in other states must not be repeated.

Buhari's 12 states in 2011 plus Nasarawa, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Lagos and possibly Adamawa. Things are looking good.

I must confess, up until now, i have been truly very scared of the Atiku challenge. Now I am so relieved. I pray for God's guidance so that there won't be any misunderstanding after the congress.
We all need to work together to save this country.

PDP's Hard Flowing Fresh Air

What an uncommon transformation in Akwa Ibom.

Gen. Abdussalami Abubakar must be fronting for some people. He cant own all of these.

Abdulsalam20: 1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden
in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that
God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is
forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a
crime is permitted). 5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless
it
be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall
be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it
shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.”
2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible
in
Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt to impose Islam on
other people. The Qur’an says, “There is no compulsion in
religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” (-The
Cow, 2:256). Note that this verse was revealed in Medina in
622 AD or after and was never abrogated by any other verse
of the Quran. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into
adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose it.
3. Islamic law forbids aggressive warfare. The Quran says,
“But if the enemies incline towards peace, do you also incline
towards peace. And trust in God! For He is the one who
hears
and knows all things.” (8:61) The Quran chapter “The Cow,”
2:190, says, “Fight in the way of God against those who fight
against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! God loveth not
aggressors.”
4. In the Islamic law of war, not just any civil engineer can
declare or launch a war. It is the prerogative of the duly
constituted leader of the Muslim community that engages in
the war. Nowadays that would be the president or prime
minister of the state, as advised by the mufti or national
jurisconsult.
5. The killing of innocent non-combatants is forbidden.
According to Sunni tradition, ‘Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the first
Caliph, gave these instructions to his armies: “I instruct you
in
ten matters: Do not kill women, children, the old, or the
infirm;
do not cut down fruit-bearing trees; do not destroy any
town . . . ” (Malik’s Muwatta’, “Kitab al-Jihad.”)
6. Terrorism or hirabah is forbidden in Islamic law, which
groups it with brigandage, highway robbery and extortion
rackets– any illicit use of fear and coercion in public spaces
for money or power. The principle of forbidding the
spreading
of terror in the land is based on the Qur’an (Surah al-Ma’ida
5:33–34). Prominent [pdf] Muslim legal scholar Sherman
Jackson writes, “The Spanish Maliki jurist Ibn `Abd al-Barr
(d.
464/ 1070)) defines the agent of hiraba as ‘Anyone who
disturbs free passage in the streets and renders them unsafe
to travel, striving to spread corruption in the land by taking
money, killing people or violating what God has made it
unlawful to violate is guilty of hirabah . . .”
7. Sneak attacks are forbidden. Muslim commanders must
give the enemy fair warning that war is imminent. The
Prophet
Muhammad at one point gave 4 months notice.
8. The Prophet Muhammad counseled doing good to those
who harm you and is said to have commanded , “Do not be
people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat
you well you will treat them well, and that if they do wrong
you
will do wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do
good if people do good and not to do wrong (even) if they do
evil.” (Al-Tirmidhi)
9. The Qur’an demands of believers that they exercise justice
toward people even where they have reason to be angry with
them: “And do not let the hatred of a people prevent you from
being just. Be just; that is nearer to righteousness.”[5:8]

Jazakallahu Khairan. But these people you're educating here have made up their minds. Deaf, Dumb and Blind. They will not understand.

Scyllapatron: in a civilized country, both tb joshua and the building contractor should be in police custody now.

Don't you think that people will not start shouting religious persecution if that is done? . Remember their famous quotation "do not touch my anointed" whenever you criticised any of these scammers ot pastorpreneur.

17th September,

2014PRESS RELEASE:CASH-LOADED JET AND WEAPONS DEAL: IT IS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST MUSLIMS  

Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor was alleged to have admitted ownership of a private jet seized last weekend by South African authorities. The aircraft was stashed with $9.3 million in cash meant for arms purchase. In the same vein, the Federal Government (FG) issued a statement yesterday admitting ownership of the cash. Oritsejafor has sought to extenuate the deal by claiming that the jet was hired out by Eagle Air in which the pastor himself has “residual interest”. The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) is alarmed by this scandalous development. We have every reason to reject FG’s explanation and it is hereby rejected. Government is being economical with the truth. We suspect a grand conspiracy against Nigerian Muslims in this latest revelation. Nigerian Muslims are enveloped with apprehension. All the ingredients of a plot are here for those who care to look beyond their noses. In a country in which two religions are most prominent and are hot rivals of each other, here is the national leader of a religious group who also happens to be the president’s kinsman, an undisguised Muslim hater, a man with a belligerent disposition towards his Muslim neighbours, a man who has been threatening hell and brimstone over the Boko Haram saga. Tie this to the Israeli connection, a country well known for its anti-Muslim and mass murder propensities. It raises more questions than answers. For instance, was the intended arms purchase really meant for the Nigerian Armed Forces? What is the guaranty that it was not meant for Niger Delta militants, or Christian crusaders masquerading as Boko Haram? Afterall, under-the-table assistance for Boko Haram has been noticed in the past. Where did the arms and food drops for Boko Haram by helicopters come from? Only the Israelis are capable of doing that. MURIC is shocked by the huge amount involved: $9.3 million! Conservatively, $1m is N163m. $9.3m is therefore N1,514,502,583.61 at the current exchange rate of N163 to $1. It is very disturbing for this to be happening in a country bedeviled by serious security challenges bordering on religious rivalry and ethnic jingoism. There is definitely something sinister about all these. We assert that Nigerian Muslims are not safe any longer. We are not safe in the hands of Israeli military advisers breathing down the neck of the Nigerian government and encouraging it to arm the Christians to the teeth. The fate of Nigerian Muslims is therefore not certain. We have lost confidence in FG and its security agencies, particularly with the involvement of Israel. Islamic scholars are disappearing at will all over the country. Recruitment exercises into the security outfits favour Christians even in Muslim dominated areas. President Jonathan has just concluded a national conference whose composition was lopsided and in favour of Christians. FG relies heavily on Israel, a well-known anti-Muslim country for its security matters. Palpable fear of religious cleansing has therefore gripped Muslims. Whole Muslim communities are already being wiped out in the North East under the guise of ‘Boko Haram’. Just two months ago, 34 Muslims who were followers of Shaykh Ibrahim Alzakzaky were massacred by soldiers in Zaria and nothing has been heard of it. MURIC calls on the National Assembly to save Nigeria from total disintegration. This jet and cash story is a scandal of monumental proportion and it must not be swept under the carpet. The National Assembly must intervene in order to calm nerves. This is not the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob. It is the hand of President Jonathan and the voice of Oritsejafor. There is an unholy union here. An aircraft owned by a war-mongering and current national president of CAN, the cash is being claimed by a Christian-led, Muslim-repressing government, there is more to this than meets the eye. We are no longer safe. MURIC demands the termination of all security deals with the Israelis in Aso Rock, the seat of government. It is too dangerous to involve a country like Israel, an anti-Muslim country in the security matters of a country like Nigeria, deeply polarized by religious sentiments. Only a government with an anti-Muslim agenda will do such a thing. It is time for the Israelis to be kept at bay regarding key security issues in Nigeria. We advise President Jonathan to change his tactics, to integrate Muslims into his government, to stop the political marginalization of Muslims, to review the Christian-loaded recruitment into the security agencies, to probe the disappearance of Islamic scholars and the killing of Muslims in Zaria and to balance the sharing of the dividends of democracy between Christians and Muslims.  We warn that the lopsided recruitment into the security agencies, particularly the Nigerian Army in the past three years, smacks of a more sinister plot to systematically wipe out Nigerian Muslims through extra-judicial killings. We draw the attention of the international community to acts of pro-Christian favouritism and anti-Muslim practices of President Jonathan. The Nigerian leader is deliberately dividing his citizens along religious lines. MURIC affirms that it seeks peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. We are prepared to live with our neighbours. We urge those fanning the embers of war and amassing weapons to remember the plight of Liberia, Congo, Sierra Leone, Bosnia Herzegovina, etc. The ravages of war, the sufferings of millions of innocent young and old are better imagined than experienced. Finally, we appeal to Muslims throughout Nigeria to allow the National Assembly to wade into the matter. Meanwhile, we charge them to remain calm and law-abiding. 

Professor Ishaq Akintola,
Director,Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC)

I am inclined to believe that all these insurgency is a deliberately crafted plot to achieve a sinister motive. Ayo Oritshejafor knows more than we all may want to admit. They are stockpiling arms and secretly preparing for war using the instrumentality of the federal government and our commonwealth.
God will save us and help us to expose and defeat them.

I remember a civil war hero General Mamman Shuwa was assassinated in broad daylight by gunmen speaking pidgin instead of hausa or kanuri in the full glare of his military deployed security men who did not raise a finger. They have never been court matialled till today. In the light of recent information, i am now sensing that assassination was a civil war revenge.How about several incidences of military men withdrawn from checkpoints just before a boko haram attack. Under the franchise of Boko Haram, a number of criminal activities are taking place to serve several interests. All of these must be unravelled to get to the roots of the problems including hasty extra judicial execution of top boko haram suspects to prevent them from spilling the beans. Now things are adding up.

Will these SE/SS commentators be saying the same thing if Buhari's name was mentioned. This same merlyn Ogar accused a political party on national tv without arresting or prosecuting anyone they believe was responsible.
We have never been this polarised in this country as we are now.
