What is the situation report of electricity in your neighbourhood before the elections and now.

Reports from some of the business communities show that availability or otherwise of electricity have worsen since the end of the presidential elections.

lets have your take on the situation report in your area please

@ POSTER
PLEASE AMENED THE RESULTS VOTE CAST AS YOUR NUMBERS ARE NOT CORRECT.

ALBEIT ROCHAS (APGA) HAS BEEN DECLRAED THE WINNER BY INEC WITH 358,895 votes TO BEAT OHAKIM (PDP) WHO SCORED 294,496 votes.

ROCHAS OKOROCHA (APGA) - 358,895 votes (WINNER)

OHAKIM (PDP) - 294,496 votes.

Hopes this will bring an end to round about beautification in the name of infrstructural developments in IMO State.

I also hope that the Igbos will realize that APGA is thier equivalent of ACN & CPC and they should work hard to clean it up and make it work for them.

I wish Imolites all the best in the next four years.

good they are going to use forensic experts to analyze the ballots, result sheets and other sensitive materials used for the election.

Another Osun drama is about to unfold as I perceive this legal battle will reveal so many rots in INEC and how fraudulent this last elections were.

Like I have always maintained, the elections were only free not fair and fraudulent in many regards.

Most of us are only turning our blind eyes to this present evil simply 'cos those we wanted got the nod without truly examining how credible,the process that brought about thier so called victories.

Yes, I know Rome was not built in a day but likewise if the foundations of Rome were laid using unbaked mud, surely she would have become a ruined city as of today.


With this legal case the seemingly elected president is likel to loose focus in governace as this is already manifesting itself with the so called government of national unity!

WHY SEEK A GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY IF PDP/GEJ CLAIMS ARE RIGHT THAT THEY WON MAJORITY OF THE VOTE CAST (22 million votes)IN THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS?

Again, I repeat, it is probable that GEJ still would have won the presidential elections but that would have been the case only after a run off - which in my view would probably have given his government more credibility. Also the intrigues that would have followed the re-run would probably have helped deepen our political democractic experience as a nation.

GOD IS OUR JUDGE - NIGERIA SHALL LIVE BEYOND THIS PRESENT EVIL.

please visit the UKBA official website
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/
Here you would find all the information that you need.Go to the sections on the left of the page. It tells you what you need to do.

PLEASE NOTE: THERE IS ALSO A SITE FOR OUT OF COUNTRY APPLICATIONS.BE AWARE THAT SOME INFORMATION ON THERE ARE ABIT MISLEADING.

If you are a professional in the nigeria, please be fully aware that the UK payless attention to your nigeria professional cert. In most cases, you would do yourself more good by doing an upgrade very quickly in the way of professional cert. conversion to UK equivalent.

hello all
i applied for a 2 years family visit uk visa was refused under sect 320 (7a) i then appealed stating that the eco erred in law and the apply was granted now i jut want to know how long the embassy will take to call me and if i will be issued the 2 years i applied for or i will be issued a 6 months visa

From experience of those I know who have had similar up turn of decision, FOR VISIT,THEY USUALLY DONT TAKE LONG, DEPENDING IF THE DATE OF DEPARTURE YOU STATED ON YOUR APPLICATION FORM IS STILL FAR OR NEAR FROM THE DATE OF REVIEW OF THIER DECISION, OTHERWISE 7-14 WORKING DAYS BY TELEPHONE INVITATION. FOR OTHERS USUALLY BHC ABUJA LIKE TO ACT AS THOUGH TIME WAITS FOR YOU AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP RINGING THEM UNTIL THEY GIVE YOU A TIME FRAME TO EXPECT THIER LETTER OF INVITATION.

@ Poster,
The chocie of the SW (old western region excluding Delta)to vote wisely and select "progressives" in the region will give them a edge over other regions in the next four years.

Any region that want to rely on the government in centre(i.e. the FG)for here development will remain under developed. Look at what most of the Northern governors did within the last fours years in Agriculture and see how the region is now receiving attention from different Agricultural donor agencies compared to South-East whoes governors have been playingvthe waiting game for the FG to come develope thier rice farms, etc.

Sagamite:
I have always said ABU is a top uni. But I maintain it is still slightly below UI, OAU and Unilag.

ABU alumin achievement is slightly advantageous due to the quota system. As it is the only top uni in the North and very limited Northerners going into top unis, the pool for the North's quota is concentrated there.

That said, I don't think it is far off the best.

As I always say:

Tier 1A
UI, OAU and Unilag

Tier 1B
ABU, Unilorin, Uniben, UNN and maybe a handful more.

Note: It is tier 1a and 1b, not tier 1 and 2. The difference is not much.

A university is known and rated based on the positive and negative contribution her graduated students make to humanity and not by mere hear say!
ABU grads I have met outside of nigeria in Aerospace, Aeronautics, A-physics and some medical related fields were top notchss!
Can any body confirm this; I read in an international article recently that ABU until recently was the only univeristy in nigeria with a mini-nuvlear reactor for research purposes. UI was the other university mentioned that now has something similar but thiers is for related researches in the medical field.

Alwasys good to hear of nigerians changing thier world positively outside of nigeria. When in the UK when I attend technical experts meetings, it gladens my heart when I look at the faces around the table and I see one or two nigerians even though in my personal observation, we professional nigerians in the UK do not "relate" and cooperate the way the Indians, Pakistanis,Spanish or even Italians do here.

SO MUCH FOR SOUTHERN NIGERIA!!!

There is nothing like Southern Nigeria! Historically, it has always been WESTERN, NORTHERN and EASTERN REGIONS/NIGERIA.

THE EASTERN REGION FOR ALL I CARE CAN GO AND BED WITH CAMEL + ROON!

THIS THREAD IS AS LAME AS THE POSTER. To any that care,ACN controlled states are better managed than those states controlled by PDP.

In relative terms, in Rivers state, the disparity between the money coming into the state coffers and the projects on ground is something that troubles the sane mind. However this is not to say gov. Amechi is not doing his best but he needs to cut his ALOOTA vovol a bit!

very stupid post indeed! The chicken is finally home to roast. Now the igbos are realizing that they are the biggest loosers in the just concluded elections.

As things stand,the Igbos/SE will appear to be the boot lickers even after 2015 moreso that they failed to realized that the SS doesnot share in thier long quest to take the number 1 position in this country, Nigeria. Beside, with the election victory spread across by the various political parties in the different regions,I doubt if the Igbos/SE will clinch Senate President, House Speaker, or even SFG positions.

To say the least, Edo State seems to align more with the South West historically and even so now than the South-South.

To the ignorant poster, Edo, Ondo,Ogun and agos has huge GAS and substantial crude oil deposits. And FYI, the future belongs to GAS and not crude oil as it is cheaper to process and convert GAS for mechanical use than crude oil.

@Rossik;once again, you have put your stupidity on a hip hop display! Please know this:Election campaign is over and now is the time to tighten the screw on the inept government currently in place.
@all: Hope you'r aware that you can also sponsor a bill in both chambers of the assembly through one of the legislators.

I think it is high time WE truly begin to use the democractic instruments of change to bring about the change we desire. WE can draft a bill and get it sponsored by one of the legislators, use the PRESS to give the bill wide popularity and make efforts to get senior nigerian figures to back the bill and I am sure they will especially if it is well drafted and encompasses what the vast majority of nigerians want.

She is a stack reminder of Nigeria's failed educational system yet this same madam was crowned with an award of "doctor of letters", ha ba, which way nigeria?

official: amosun of the acn declared winner of the governoship election in ogun state

ACN _:1,509,114 -FASHOLA

PDP -:300,450 - DOSUMU

Chei - see trashing! i dey laugh oh!

Nadanbata:
funny how the state with the lowest turn out in the Presidential : EDO (37%)

Seems to be the one withouht much rigging.  

Surely the presidential election result in edo state was rigged but the result wasn't hyper inflated like Bayelsa,Rivers and Imo of all places.

gokuu:
what have u done with edo central? How come Mr fixit was able to dismantle the ACN machinery in edo central?

Maybe it might interest you to know that  of all the polling units in Edo State, ballot box snatching was only recorded in one polling unit and the Army recovered the ballot box few minutes after it was snatched.

It's step by step. Edo Central is the least significant zone out of the three senatorial zones in Edo State.
If you are not aware yet, in the House of Assembly elections held yesterday,

ACN WON 20 SEATS - WITH THE SEATS SPREAD ACROSS THE 3 SENATORIAL ZONES

PDP 4 SEATS

HOUSE REP RE-RUN:ACN WON (PRESENT HOUSE OF REP LEADER HON.AKOGUN-PDP)SENT PACKING.

surely, Mr fix it will be on exile in Abuja again till 2015!

And never again will Edo State's budget be determined at the Beer Palour of one disgruntled & certified criminal's house in Abuja.

Edo is beginning to work again and the wheel of positive progress can never be slowed down by that rogue party called PDP.

edicolove:
How can you take Bakare seriously. A pastor that excuses the killing of Christians can never be taking seriously. the guy has completely disgraced himself and posterity will judge him.c

As for Uduaghan, i dont like him but it is wrong for people to say things like if he wins, it must be rigging and if he looses then its free and fare. This was the same kind of wrong statements Buhari was making that led to the murders and destructions. Elections are not won by assumptions on a forum. They are won by people on the ground. Being from delta state, I dont like Uduaghan, but the opposition has not had enough alliances to win the PDP. most of the anioma people will continue to vote PDP, same goes for most of Ijaws and Itshekiris. It is not enough to like somebody, the political calculations and alliances determine who wins elections not how nice a person looks. Ogboru has not really reached out to these segments of people. I will be surprised if he wins. It is the same thing Buhari did, relying on his popularity with Almajiris in the north. He never even bothered to campaign in the SE and SS. He had minimal campaigns in the SW. So how was he supposed to win? GEJ the whole time was ramming his campaign down the throats of every Nigerian from North to South.

We should always make balanced political comments, not sentimental ones.

Come to Edo and learn how to uproot fi d fi (pdp)- 'm sorry Deltans are reaping what they have sown.

I have always said it that igbos should stick to thier Nollywood and Spare parts business!

Average igbo technician who has re-invented the wheel would go about making noise.

Sorry i like to learn newthings and could someone please educate me on one agricultural commodity igbos produce that nigeria export for foriegn currency! Please do not mention casssava 'cos the igbo variety has be found to be of low quality in the international market - I will post source once i get on my PC.

jensinmi:
Empty promises to simpletons and the intellectually-challenged.

In all honesty, WTF is "soon"??
Whatever happened to time frames and measurable goals.

Federal Government will build so and so "soon". Who gives a crap about that?? Jesus is coming "soon".  So. . what's the Federal Government's point??

Abeg jor. They should be silent and get to work. Who are they deceiving?? Certainly not critical and enlightened minds like mine.
Is their Petro-chemical plant listed in the capital expenditure of the 2011 budget?? The same budget we don't have enough to finance.

Mr. Special Adviser should know that we are not all simple-minded folks that are easily swayed by lofty promises of petro-chemical plants or airports that won't appear in the 2011, 2012, or even 2013 budgets. NONSENSE!!!

thank God we still ve people who reason with thier brains in nigeria! This inept government thinks she can fool all nigerians. We as usual, they know the zones in nigeria where they can buy thier votes based on empty promises!

For all who care, the presidential results is an "invention of facts" and I am sorry GEJ  has already condemed his government to an illigetimate government.

Mark these words: "The forces of natural justice has already set themselves against GEJ and only time would tell" Same was for Ya'rdua and when the time came, he has blown aside like the waste of arabia - though painful, yet it was his own making!

fawazbruce:
I personally thank God that this 'demonic' pastor called tunde bakare has revealed his true colours. So only the SS and SE votes where the CPC lost woefully were rigged? what about the NE and NW where CPC massively used underaged voters? What about Aikfavour Ukeoma who posted on his facebook page that the rabid dogs of CPC were threatening to kill him if he did not release the unused ballot papers to them? what about the fact that the same CPC dogs came and killed Aikfavour the next day because he did not let them 'rig' enough' votes for CPC.

to think i used to consider this fool a man of god makes me feel ashamed of how he fooled me(and millions of nigerians).

If tunde bakare and mad buhari think the SS and SE votes are false, they should also know that we will subject the NW and NE votes to forensic analysis and we will bring out all the underaged voters they used in the presidential elections. Foreign reporters like BBC and AFP reported the massive voting by children in the north, any one can use google to confirm this.

Those i feel most sorry for are the fools in this country(abagworo et al are not in the fools category: they are so silly, calling them fools is paying them a compliment) who feel buhari won the election. A man so eaten up by tribal and ethnic contempt for the south that he refused to campaign in the SE & SS thinking the bogus 'large' population of the north will help him win the election. All of buhari's campaign in Niger and Chad came to naught when the borders with these cretin nations' were shut before each election. Otherwise, we would have had his almajiris from chad and niger to contend with as well.

If buhari and his co-criminals feel aggrieved, they should go to court and challenge the presidential election results: perhaps buhari should swallow his pride(a man with nothing whose pride is biggest amongst all men is the biggest fool of all) and ask tinubu for advise on how to challenge election results. As i said on this forum before, buhari is an illiterate fulani man who joined the army and rose to the top. He lacks serious critical analytical reasoning when situations require it and his pride does not allow him to acknowledge that a southerner can be better than him in some things( e.g. GEJ rigged the elections, that why he buhari lost; Tinubu cannot be a better politician than buahri and that is that why he could not accept tinubu's terms of reference for the ACN/CPC alliance)

By this same tongue you have made your destiny a shaff of dust!

muami:
You know a sore loser when you see one. If CPC believe they won the election as they claimed, they should take thier case to the tribunal which has the constitutional mandate to scrunitize the elections. Addressing a million and one press conferences, issuing a billion press releases and encouraging their supporters to continue the mayhem in the North would NEVER change the result of the elections.

I guess same was said after the 2007 elections until WE cleverly took INEC to the cleaners.

FYI, Bakare's premise is superimposed on the suggestion that should the results in SS & SE be confirmed (by forensic analysis of the ballot papers)to have been manipulated, going by INEC policy in this election, much of the results in SS & SE will have to be cancelled. Same goes with other regions if ballot papers were also manipulated.

Let's be objective, turning a blind eye to evil today does not mean you would be spared by same evil tommorrow!

This is not Buhari loosing but more about WE nigerians being able to do things and rightly seen doing uprightly.

For posterity sake, let me say this now: I am a southerner from niger-delta and I would love to have one of our own as president but only through a credible process and not through spoil, deceit and falsehood which GEJ has played on nigerians.

Further, how sure are we that WE the Southerners are not trying so hard to eat our tommorrow royal apple today? - Only time and space will tell.

karl max:
BAKARE= pre-election this man was screaming “wild wild North”

BAKARE=post election “FORENSIC”

Bakare you and your lynch mob should do forensic and go to court we are waiting and stop shouting becos of U and your masters despiration innocent souls were lost you have the blood of aik ukeoma and other innocent people who died from CPC conspiracy theory.from buhari claiming that aeroplane was dropping finger printed ballot pappers in some south east area! To a software(EXCEL) that deduted 40% their vote! We are awaiting the next theory
BAD LOSERS u will continue losing till you will go and meet your maker to jurdge U,

dude, were you deaf when JEGA openly admitted on NTA couple of days ago that thier pre-programed excel did errorneously deduct votes but claimed it did for all parties and not just CPC's votes. My question to JEGA is when (within the time line of the presidential elections) did they realise thier spreadsheet was a "spoof"? How sure are we that same 'vote chunking' did not happen during the NASS elections? Who verified the excel spreadsheet macro and where is the independent verification report; to which I would expect every party taking part in the elections would have signed off as a mark of agreement to that effect that the spreadsheet was genuinely programed and verified in line with INEC's guidelines.

In as much as we southerners want our person to be the president, i think we must be honest to ask ourselves some questions and be bold enough to tackle head on very disturbing issues this election has thrown up!

[quote author=High_Chief link=topic=653370.msg8193814#msg8193814 date=1303637656]This man is the worst Governor in Nigeria, fcking tootheless bull-dog. Very deceptive and some people are falling for his cheap craps[/quote]You talk like child who had his biscuit eaten by his elder brother!

Have you been to Edo State recently and have you also visited states like Oyo, Delta? if you haven't, then go visit,maybe you would shamefully retract your obnoxious comments.

May be it is time SEUN begin to send any poster (that seems to manipulate any arti cle to falsehood)into .net oblivion!

GEJ supporters as despirate as thier master will seek use whatever they can lay thier hands on to rubbish Buhari like they did with the October 1st IBB rubbing it on perceived enemies only to turn around later claiming some social slacks carried put the bombings yet not a single individual has been convicted in court.

baduks:
Bakare will probably be the Presidential candidate for CPC in 2015. Very funny how Bakare who says he's not a General Overseer (GO)and choose to maintain a single assembly where he pastors(Latter rain) thinks he can lead a whole nation!!!

How does Bakare's pastoring of a single assembly affects the sham of an election conducted on the 16th of April?

Day by day serious revelations of falsification of results in SS & SE is being revealed!

For the good of Nigeria, and just like ACN did in Osun and Ekiti gov polls in 2007, CPC should involve forensic experts to carry out detailed review of a representative sample of the ballot papers used in the election. Surely this would reveal the level of manipulation and if it is observe to be rampant, the  results in the affected zones should be cancelled.

I am now more ashamed of GEJ than I was before the elections. No wonder the bible said him who is shown can be trusted with little can be trusted with much! GEJ who could not hold in trust a simple agreement in his party can never be trusted with conducting elections without engaging third parties to rig for him all in the name of we minorities wanting to rule nigeria at all cost!

or are the countless blood of foriegners murdered in cold blood in our niger delta quilty of thier unknown crime as well?

Look at how the useless ex-militans are coming out to make frivolous statements and they think we have forgotten so soon how they went on rampant killings of innocent nigerians for well over 5years in thier bid to sustain thier criminality!
In a nutshell, every region of this country has blood in her hands so lets stop the northern nigeria bashing and face the common enemy = those that constitute themselves into enemy of excellent governance and progress in nigeria today!
