Billyonaire: I am highly flabbergasted that someone mentioned "Zoning" and "Democracy" in one sentence. Zoning has been squashed, because it is Anti-Democracy.

EVEN IF we practiced "ZONINGOCRACY" instead of "DEMOCRACY", the North has been 'ruling' Nigeria since Independence through coupe and counter coupe and draining our oil wells while impoverishing their Almajiri Children.

BUT this is Democracy, so the Northern Elder can talk and talk and talk; TALK IS CHEAP.

GEJ has the powers, GEJ has the financial resources and GEJ has the party machinery to be President till 2019. For me, GEJ became President in 2015 when OHBEEJAH vacated PDP BOT Chairmanship.

FYI, in advanced democracy, zoning is part of democracy whether be it for electing of officers or for selection of ministers. There is nothing wrong in zoning if the best minds are given the free play to contest when it comes to their zones producing the president.

Finally, just go back and read your last sentence again. Are you not ashamed that the word PERFORMANCE is far from your lips? All you could see is GEJ bulldozing His way through using state power, but I tell you, if Obasanjo could not use state powers to force third term agenda on Nigerians, surely, if and when Nigeria says GEJ has to go, no matter the state power He welds, He would go.

Nigeria I repeat is bigger than any individual or zone.

Symphony007: Foolish almajiri's, your lot has ruled nigeria more than any other region and what did you perform? Rather you produce the greatest thiefs and dictators like abacha,babamgida,etc...even in this democratic dispensation at least for all his faults obasanjo negociated a great debt relief for the nation accumulated by your cleptomanic fellow hausa's and today under jonathan nigeria is growning at 7.3%. What did yar adua do in office? This hausa's are a very hopeless bunch. Born to rule a monkey's A.S.S!!

7.3% paper growth you mean? I mean let us be serious for once and ask ourselves, is this really the best the country can do? During Obasanjo's regime,Nigerians felt it in their pockets when the numbers were indicating that the economy was growing like Usain bolt. We saw infrastructures being revived, banking sector revitalised, education turning a new leaf, and there were so many indices to convinced Nigerians that truly the economy was growing and they felt it as more money rained in their pocket. But since GEJ came to power, you hardly can point to one sector were things have really improved. The two sectors He claimed to have focused on -Agriculture and Power can only be considered to have improved marginally. In education, Health, Commerce and Industry, Mines and a steel, Aviation and Transportation, every one of those have gone worse.

I think most of us from the South South, especially those from the South East extraction are really living in foo.ls hell yard by thinking "our" votes made GEJ the president in 2011 and therefore come 2015, GEJ must continue.

It is pertinent to point out two things this Professor disclosed in His outburst
1. GEJ' s non performance economically, socially and otherwise
2. Lack of trust of GEJ.

Every sane Nigerian will agree that those two observations by the Professor are absolute truth and in my opinion is really the crux why GEJ should not be considered at all for re-election and something tells me GEJ will not put himself forward for re election as He would be put under severe pressure by all concerned.

The best leacy GEJ can leave now is to look for a performer, and accomplished and distinguished technocrat to take over from Him, regardless of which party affiliation that individual may belong.

As for Asari, if care is not taken, He would be eliminated before the it begins to rain. Politics is about power play, and deal cutting to the interest of the people. Rather than make empty threats, if Asari wants His kinsman to continue, He better begin expending His energies on mending the broken bridges between GEJ and most Nigerians who have vowed will never vote Him again.

Nonentity make so much noise! Once GEJ is kicked out, these noise makers will turn to born-again agent of change. We have seen them do that in Edo State and elsewhere and won't be surprised we these cowards of today put on new clothing of apostle of one Nigeria.

Sincere 9gerian: Post the pictures again lets see na. By the way, how far with Oshiomole and the last local govt elections? Where was the crowd?

Shame on you!!!!...

Oh, it is the last elections that PDP thought they can rig!! Do I need to remind you that despite PDP planned evil, the people resisted and voted for those they felt were credible to lead them.

Oshiomhole has redefined how leaders should be voted in Edo State and PDP as usual fielded 90% confirmed looters and the people said no and never again! I am sure if PDP has developed Edo State in the past 12years, the logistic issue that led to late arrival of election materials in some polling units would never have occurred.

[quote author=the_ripper3]What's all the hullabaloo about? Voting in 2015 is definitely going to be across Ethnic and religious divides. SW and Core North Vs SE,SS and MB. Then religion would play its part where necessary. All the premature ejaccula*tion should stop. Buhari hasn't won anytin yet. Its not yet UHURU for the BUHARI-ophiles[/quote]I am sorry to inform you the ethnic cards you people played in 2011 will not work! This time around, it is going to be SCORE CARD based. Show us what you have done and We the people will tell you if you are deserving to go back to Aso rock.

tomber: When will you guys wake up to the reality. pls we need to be more intellectual. The problm of buhari is d same problm of his followers. He's not too wise. He shud use more sense and less muscle. If there is no peace in aso rock who will suffer more? you or jonathan

FYI, I was not the one who lied and deceived the people and told them I had no shoes to wear! For all I care, Nigeria needs a strong and purposeful leader,who will once again bring governance at the center close to the people.

I continue to use Edo State as an example. Today, Anennih and His gang of criminals who held that state to ransom has been sent into perpetual exile. I know for sure that if Buhari is elected all the billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria's treasury will begin to show in the life of Nigerians.

Sincere 9gerian: LIAR! I saw Oshiomole's campaign and the ACN recent convention in Lagos. The people that gathered cannot in any way be compared to campaigns in the north. The issue of huge crowd is not only limited to Buhari but it is common in most northern political leaders campaigns in the north.

Stop deceiving yourself! Did I not post you pictures of Oshiomhole's campaign with huge crowds? The truth is, when a leader is loved and cherished by His people, He is swarmed whenever He goes out and He walks freely amongst His people. But same cannot by said of GEJ. It is not because the people hate Him, but His guilty conscience will forever hunt him because He lied and deceived the people.

Where are the promises He made in all of the 36 states of the federation during His campaign in 2011?

visalo: A liar will never know peace. For those who made incited statement in 2011 election that resulted to the killing of innocent coppers will never know peace. Those who said buhari never made any incited statement will never know peace

Clowns! Like the saying goes, a man that knows not where He came from, will never know where He is going! Need I remind you how many of our precious loved ones from Niger Delta has gone to their grave early due to GEJ's incompetence since 2010.

Sincere 9gerian: Such crowd cannot be pulled anywhere in the south because, unlike in the north, there is no ALMAJIRI system in the south. The northern political elites deliberately created the almajiri and other DEPENDENCY system so they can easily mobilize crowd for mayhem or electioneering.

No matter how popular a politician is in the south, you cant get that sort of crowd. That does not mean that on election day people will not come out to vote in the south on election days but not many southerners will be willing to leave behind their source of livelihood to grace a mere political campaign. You can only get such crowd in the south during RELIGIOUS gatherings. But in the north, RELIGION and politics are indistinguishable.

You are a huge joke of an individual... Are these crowd in Oshiomhole's campaign also Almajiri

Nigeria will remain one indivisible entity! Those that always use religion, ethnicity to deceive the people will be swept aside come 2015 and every Nigerian will once again believe truly in Nigeria.

I remember in Edo State, during the reign of PDP, there were cries from every corner that the state should be divided, Edo North, Edo Central wanted to be on their own because they could not feel the presence of government in their locality. But today, with roads being tarred, schools being built, hospital being renovated gradually, every corner of the state are signing a new song of ONE EDO courtesy of the courageous, bold and focused leadership of Oshiomhole.

I am sure if there was high speed rail link from Enugu to Maiduguri, From Calabar to Lagos or from Kano to Lagos, and development was evident from every corner of Nigeria, the calls for division will only be found on the lips of lazy wiggles.

That is why come 2015, in your state, and at the Federal Government, let us vote in individuals that have what is takes to bring development to the people and not cowards that only know how to share money as if money is what will solve the woes currently befalling Nigeria.

babyosisi: If a group in the Niger delta started bombing stadiums and markets,motor parks and mosques and police stations and people's homes,schools,media houses continually killing thousands including school children and their ultimate aim is to bring Nigeria to it's knees and install the worship of a local deity , do you think that area where they have a foothold would still be in existence by now?

Do I need to remind you of how MEND went about ra.ping women on water ways, robbing market women of phones, money etc? Did that stop their existence?

Some of you really have short memory!

Degis: Seriously, you have a knack for saying the wrong things. Though, I appreciate the fact that you have to earn your pay from ACN and Tinubu but your recklessness in thought and candour keeps beating acceptable human standards.

If indeed your so called allies in the US and UK have condemned the killings, how come nobody except ACN Lapdogs has heard about it?. I have little or no sympathies for PDP but you guys in ACN take the cake in sensationalism and hyperventilation.

Go suck an apple pie jare!

Aint got no time for clowns....

How about IMF telling GEJ to build refineries If GEJ wants to abort His presidency, then He should go ahead and remove fuel subsidy

musiwa27: ve

what i am trying to show is that state have more project than goodluck jonathan.. who collect 54% of the revenue.. within the same period

Bro, I hail oh.... This statement nah Him we call the tori of all the matter

Goddex: Good development. GEJ is working. Nigeria is moving forward. But the venue should have been Lagos, Calabar, Enugu PH, Kano or any other city instead of Abuja. We should also project other Nigerian cities apart from Abuja. The Davos, Cape Town etc are not necessarily capitals of their countries.

Hehe, see how you are disgracing yourself? If GEJ was working, it really would have been no headache for them see the need that other states need to be the host state/city apart from Abuja. They know if they take them to Gombe, their so called FRESH AIR propaganda will be exposed for what it really is

Sincere 9gerian: What an irony. When it comes to political rallies for selfish political ambitions Buhari and other leaders of the north will pull CROWD. But when it comes to solving national problems, like reigning in on Boko Haram insurgents to stop the mayhem, leaders in the north become powerless. Why cant northern leaders organise anti-Boko haram rallies in the north? Why cant APC governors of Borno and Yobe, alongside Buhari (as leader of APC in the north) organise anti-Boko haram rallies in affected states? Is it dont the Boko haram menace is not big enough to warrant such intervention? Wont it to the credit of APC if thru such mobilization the current mayhem in those states stops?

Rather than participate in finding solutions to the problem, APC and Buhari are trying to ride on the back of the blood shed in those states to Aso Rock.

Anyway, since the political and religuous leaders in the north have decided to be lukewarm on this issue of Boko haram and if eventually the ongoing dialogue efforts fail, the govt will be left with no other option but to continue and INTENSIFY the military campaigns in affected states. One thing is certain, those who hope to climb to Aso Rock through the blood shed in the north will be fatally disappointed

You are a real clown! Now you people think Buhari holds the solution to solving the Bokoharam crisis you power hungry wiggles created? Oh, for crying out loud, did your GEJ not say Buhari was behind Bokoharam

One thing is sure, those who through deceit, falsehood and election manipulation got into Aso Rock will never know peace all of their days on earth!

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]He pulled more crowd than this in the run up to the 2011 election and still failed at the polls. This ain't gonna be any different. Until he pulls such crowd in Aba, he's just wasting energy.

GEJ till 2019 or.....,,,[/quote]Wait until Amaechi start revealing to the whole world how Microsoft Excel 2000 "macro" was used to turn few votes into millions

tomakint: I asked a simple question with a simple sentence but you returned it with 10 lines of twisted, psychobabbles this is one of the reasons I don't like responding to u guys, you must show to all that you are e-thugs!

Have you done the assignment I gave you

tomakint: Sorry ooo, which state are you from? Now, you know mine!

I thought your intelligence was any close to that of an earth worm The only saving grace, is same God created us all equal which makes me believe that some of you have been given good brain to reason live most of us progressives but you choose to misuse it Now shall I give you some sense by asking you to go back and read through all of my post to decipher which state of Nigeria I am from

babyosisi: Boko boko always set their captives free from prisons so the numbers killed are only a small fraction
E no go better for lord Lugard who put us in this mess by lumping us together with people that should have been colonized by the French and merged with their brothers in Niger republic

The dead will never come back to solve the challenges of the living! But the greatest mistake most us make is denying the truth that it is better together than separated.

It is fool hardy for those of us from the Southern part of Nigeria to think We are any better than those who hail from the Northern part. I am sure if you ever ventured into the Niger Delta during the reign of madness by the likes of Asari and Tompolo, you would not be making such a comment

taharqa: Bros, where hv thou been?....@topic, #20 billion monthly is good though, whether its been used properly is anoda mata entirely, a la Baba Tinubu and Co

Can you tell us how much GEJ has grown Nigeria's IGR since He became president in 2010

tomakint: I don't engage liars and never-do-well psychopaths like your type! This is Tomakint from Ondo State please next time put on ur bi-focal lens

Hehe, see this ehnenre tout claiming ONDO Wonders shall never end.

Sincere 9gerian: Are all these tales true? If yes, why is the battle still raging? Does Boko Haram have access to limitless new recruits?

Anyway, it is only sensible to take the report with a pinch of salt because this same foreign media organisations erroneously told us that over 185 "innocent" civilians were massacred by the JTF in Baga

Why won't you take it with a pinch of salt? Is it not laughable, I mean serious laughable that despite your PDP led federal government claim that foreign media have exaggerated the death figures in Baga, to date, neither the NigeriaSAT2 satellite pictures nor the report of the military investigation has been released to the public for scrutiny

Is it not obvious that failure of GEJ to truly deal with the political bokoharam (who obviously, and as alluded by the late NSA Azaziz are also members of the PDP) is largely responsible for the continue killing of innocent Nigerians?

No doubt there is the fundamentalist bokoharam whose focal objective is to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state and establish a kind of fiefdom. However, the failure of the Federal Government under the leadership of GEJ as well as the affected state governments to provide a strong and purposeful leadership ready to bring true development to every corner of Nigeria has fueled the continue growth of the fundamentalist bokoharam as most region where they are recruiting people from are impoverished beyond belief and largely under the control of local warlords.

Well, I really cannot fault the OP's submission and indeed, like most regions of the world where Arabs live, the population is always high for reasons mainly attributed to high birth rate.

Also, people forget that when Northern population is mentioned, it does not necessarily mean those people hail from Northern Nigeria, rather, these are individuals who reside in Northern Nigeria and by all intent and purpose, these figures are usually estimates.

So long as TRUE population head count is still eluding the country, We may never know the true population of either the northern or southern Nigeria.

I do not blame the OP, simply because you cannot get first hand information in the village you live. Human rights have issued statement already condemning the killings of police officers and have also called for a thorough investigation! The US and UK government have also demanded the same.

Some of you rejoice in ignorance

tomakint: Arrant nonsense, first thing first they came up with a bogus IGR, with the economic potentials of a State like Lagos, a reasonable person would have known that Lagos generates far more than the quoted N20 billion every month! Of course, with the Chief Schemer, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in charge, a figure like this is expected and not forgetting that in the next 35 years, Lagos will continue to pay debt from generations to generations and they will still tell you, 'Eko o ni baje o'! Obviously, with Tinubu still calling the shots in the scheme of things in the State, Lagos don enter 'One Chance'

See this warri tout! Your governor has rape.d your people to eternity, deduct taxes at source with not a single sensible project to show for it, and you are here spewing trash against.

Has sincere9igerian ported? Why is He missing on this thread!!!... fraudulent native doctor. Progressives are steaming ahead, the PDP lapdogs are licking their wounds

Absolute trash

Since 2010, it is now He realize that the Agriculture Sector needs $10bn investment Only God knows what this man will leave in the treasury by December 2014!

EASTSIDAZ: Achebe remains the greatest African after Mandela.

And what about you? What can be said of you? Achebe came, lived, left legacy, good or bad, but that is not where the story ends I reckon. I guess you should be asking yourself though provoking questions such as: What good legacy am I living for?
