PoliticsRe: I Want Jonathan To Lose PDP Primaries by Onlytruth(m): 8:06pm On Nov 24, 2010
@Marcdunu and koruji

I'm enjoying your arguments about Jonathan's Nigerian constitutional rights and the PDP constitution.
What I don't know is whether the right to contest elections is a FUNDAMENTAL human right according to the Nigerian constitution.

From the much I know, a criminal cannot contest for elections in Nigeria, but has a FUNDAMENTAL right to a fair trial in courts.

Therefore if the right to contest elections is a FUNDAMENTAL human right, then the PDP constitution is VOID to the extent of its "deviation" from, or inconsistency with the grand law -the Nigerian constitution. If on the other hand it is not a FUNDAMENTAL right, then the PDP constitution could enjoy a strong legal position in court.

Two caveats:

1- The company must fund it and recoup their investments over many years.

2- There must be an INDEPENDENT inspector to be sure of the standards.

My message to Ndigbo:

We are a very special people in Nigeria, Africa and the world. We have done a lot to advance the pride of Nigeria, Africa and the human race. There is no need recounting what we have done since 1960 to bring accolade to Nigeria.
The records are there. The most important thing is to remember how we did it to enable us replicate it over and over again in the future. If you ask me, I would say that the following are the greatest attributes of Ndigbo and what propels us ahead of our detractors and competitors. I can say these things because I am confident that no one can beat us in them if we NEVER forget them:

(1)Discipline : [/b]Igbo man and woman has a STRONG sense of mission and deploy the discipline required to accomplish that mission. While others are busy having 5 children by 5 women, we stick to one woman and her kids! Great attribute. cool

(2)[b]Grit:
We can be gritty when necessary to achieve a goal. HARDWORK folks!

(3) Long suffering: [/b]This is perhaps our greatest behavioral asset. It is a dying asset though because we have parents these days who spoil their kids thinking they are doing them a favor. Through painstaking HARDWORK, people like Chinua Achebe, Chike Obi, Phillip Emeagwali  ETC achieved what others could not. Don't let anyone tell you there is a short cut. THERE IS NONE.

(4) [b]Focus:[/b]We are not easily distracted from our set goal. That is why we are still alive and beating others today. Never imbibe strange cultures that undermine this attribute!

(5)[b] Courage:
Please folks go and read the Bible, book of[b] Joshua Chapter 1 from verse 6 to 7[/b].  We have always been courageous to embark on ventures and live in hostile areas. We must continue that way.


If we continue to do these things, our future in Nigeria and the world is secure.

Finally, do not allow others to define you! Like they have worked so hard to re-define Phillip Emeagwali.

It is naive to think that you would not be affected by these definitions. If you don't want to counter these views, don't try to justify your choice of action. It is my idea of selfishness that will eventually catch up with you.
All for one, one for all!

Ndewo nu!

I do not accept outsiders opinion of the Ndi Igbo. I have no need, when our very own Igbo brothers and sisters know that there are problems on the horizon.

It is best to ignore those who know nothing about our people. When you get drawn into their petty battles, this is when they win. Just relax.
This is where you are making a mistake.
If we are in an enclosure where there are only Igbos discussing, then your approach would make sense.

Dude, if you don't counter these things, it will become YOU and define YOU whether you like it or not, because a lot of people read these things.

Others would  even believe it more when they see your type spending so much time to focus on the so called Igbo faults while keeping a stoic silence on others' opinion of us. Ogbara nkiti kwere ekwe!

Take a cue from other Igbo sons here.
You are not more reasonable than them. In fact if you are more reasonable than all of us, then something is wrong with you.

PoliticsRe: Atiku "Selected" As Northern Consensus Candidate by Onlytruth(m): 6:18pm On Nov 23, 2010
Jarus:
The reality is Atiku of today is a walk-over for GEJ. Atiku of 2003 would have given even the then incumbent Obj a run for his money, but his political structure, inherited from Sheu Musa Yar'adua, has collapsed.

IBB, let's face it, is teh only PDP person that can give GEJ a run for his money.

The atmosphere is the North, according to friends over there, is one of massive support for Buhari. Sai Baba, Mai Gaskiya etc are few of the slogans over there, all in praise of Buhari. I'm talking about teh masses, not the elites. With GEJ almost sure of PDP ticket, the race is going to be between him, Buhari and Ribadu. If AC and CPC can work out an alliance, then PDP's end may be in sight.
Eziachi:
It seems most Nigerians epecially the Nairaland bunch don't seem to understand Nigeria and how it works. If PDP dare try a one man on vote in a secret ballot, some may get a rude shock that Atiku can possibly beat Jonathan. Atiku is a very cunning and skillful brand of Nigerian politician. In Nigeria the best barely wins in anything and politics is no exception.
[b]I am not saying that Atiku will definitely wins, but he is capable of causing a huge shock. [/b]The man's crookedness equipt him more to Nigeria politics more than Jonathan who has never win anything on his own before, legitimate or other wise. The drama begins.
I thought of the same thing too, except that this PDP primary will NOT be free and fair and will NOT be secret. Even if it is secret, it will be rigged by the party for Jonathan. So, either way, I don't see how Atiku wins.

It will be strong arm politics at the PDP level (thanks to OBJ). At the national elections level, it will be more difficult to rig. However, at the national elections proper, Jonathan has the power to lobby more than any candidate.

The only thing that jumped out for me by this Atiku choice is that Atiku will accept defeat easier than IBB or even Gusau.
The north doesn't want to rock the boat. They want to live to fight another day. My 2 cents.
PoliticsRe: Atiku "Selected" As Northern Consensus Candidate by Onlytruth(m): 6:25am On Nov 23, 2010
I have to say this; I could be wrong but we shalll see.

I strongly speculate that the north has beaten a quiet retreat. They have quietly conceded the election because they know that they can't win against a sitting Nigerian president. Why do I say this? I say this because Atiku is the more likely to accept a defeat than IBB. He has lost before and will not be "bowled over" by another loss. The north wants to tone this thing down and live to fight another day.
Smart move if you ask me.  cool

That is why I am smiling!   grin

PoliticsConsensus: IBB Accepts Atiku’s Candidacy by Onlytruth(op): 6:16am On Nov 23, 2010
[size=16pt]Consensus: IBB accepts Atiku’s candidacy[/size]

By NDUBUISI ORJI
Tuesday, November 23, 2010

Former Military President and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, General Ibrahim Babangida, yesterday said he accepted the choice of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar , as the North’s candidate for the PDP presidential primary.

This was contained in a statement issued by the IBB Presidential Campaign Organization, signed by the Director-General, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, and made available to Daily Sun in Lagos.
Babangida said the outcome of the consensus candidacy which was spearheaded by former Finance Minister, Adamu Ciroma, and other Northern leaders must be applauded for the foresight and rigour of the search. According to him, the Ciroma committee must be appreciated for its principled commitment to the advancement of democracy in country.

“The outcome of the consensus exercise which the Adamu Ciroma Committee selflessly imposed upon itself in the past two months must be loudly applauded for the rigour of their search, conduct, and foresight. The machinery of success which they inaugurated previously has become further strengthened and deeply rooted. It shall be well with the Consensus outcome, and it shall manifestly be well for all Nigerians.”

“The Committee inaugurated a process to tackle a challenge the result of which will outlive the politically induced crisis which called the committee into existence. The outcome of the consensus exercise has truly humbled all the presidential aspirants. We once again, thank everyone of the membership of this committee. We all know the gravity of what the aspirants have done. We know that in doing what they have done, this great nation and all Nigerians shall manifestly be served. They did not submit themselves to this exercise so as to fail, far from it.”

“The exercise to search for, find and approve a Consensus Candidate from among the Presidential aspirants in the constitutional zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must go down in the annals of this great nation as historic and uniquely interesting. Founded upon a principled commitment for the public good, justice, equity and fairness in the pursuit of good governance and party politics, the ‘Committee of Wise Men’ under the leadership of Alhaji Adamu Ciroma must be appreciated for its patriotism and the advancement of the frontiers of democracy and of politics with conscience,” the statement said in part.
While congratulating Atiku for his emergence, Babangida expressed appreciation to former National Security Adviser, General Mohammed Aliyu Gusau and Kwara State governor, Dr Bukola Saraki for submitting their political ambition to the dictates of the consensus committee.

Besides, he thanked members of the Ciroma Committee for their personal and collective sacrifices towards the selection of a consensus candidate for the North. The former military president stated there is a fundamental lesson from the Ciroma committee which Nigerians would appreciate with time.
“Democracy can only be sustained and flourish under the principles of justice, rule of law, equity, and determination, particularly on the part of leadership to respect, adhere and advance the framework of upholding the constitution not only of the country, but also of various institutions such as the constitution of the Peoples’ Democratic Party,” he added
