Jyde81: What do u mean by ganging up with Northerners to unseat his brother? Which brother? The same 'brother' that has been dealing and humiliating him all year long abi? Come on wisen up and don't be sentimental or emotional as there is no brother anywhere...

ocelot2006: LOL!!! Best joke ever !!!


Seriously dude, if you really think Ameachi will deliver Rivers state, a CORE PDP state to OPC/APC, then I'm afraid your weed dealer sold you some wrong shyte. And we've hheard all your boasts. First Abuja LG elections, the Ondo and Anambra. How did all those elections turn out ?

You're in for a total shocker again, and I hope you've bought enough tissue paper for your crying general and yourself. you'll need it.

APC clown

Italiano1: Now GEJ, PDP and all their supporters can now learn how politics is played. Politics is not about noise-making or gloating over your enemies, it requires planning, thinking outside of the box and building bridges.

GEJ in his all his daft glory tried to call the bluff of a powerful bloc and now it has come back to hunt him- watch how others will start decamping to the winning side. Goodbye to Goodluck Jonathan in 2015- you wont be missed.

babapupa: Why is it that everything is always about food to you ibo people. Ashebe is still crying about food, ibo people are still crying about food 40 years after they got their azzz kicked.

Ashebe We are not starving like you hungry mofos so stop talking to us about food.

If you want food to eat, tell your useless leaders to give you food to eat, Fashola is not your father and we are not mates....

You suffer head people.

2iic: National Leader, Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has warned loyalists and aides of President Goodluck Jonathan against taking the unity of Nigeria for granted and setting the country on fire.

Tinubu, the former Lagos State governor, said in Lagos on Thursday that the utterances of friends and aides of Jonathan had the potential of putting the unity of the country in jeopardy.

The ACN stalwart spoke as the guest of honour at the presentation of Lest I Forget: Memoirs of a Nigerian Career Diplomat, written by Amb Oladapo Fafowora. Tinubu was represented by ACN National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

Special Adviser to the President on Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, and Leader, Niger Delta Peoples Volunteers Force, Alhaji Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari, were recently quoted as threatening violence in the country if Jonathan is not reelected President in 2015.

The seriousness of the “threat” of the President’s men had attracted widespread condemnation, with the House of Representatives calling for a probe while others demanded the arrest of the duo.

Tinubu, however, believed that such utterances, coming from Jonathan’s kinsmen, posed a serious threat to the unity of the country if not checked.

The ex-governor said, “By not taking it(country) for granted, we will avoid taking measures or making comments that can threaten the country’s unity.

“Unfortunately, that has not been the case in recent times. Self-acclaimed friends as well as aides of the President have been making comments that are capable of putting the unity of our country in jeopardy.

“One says if President Goodluck Jonathan is not re-elected in 2015, the tenuous peace, now being enjoyed in the Niger Delta, will not be guaranteed.

“Another builds on that, saying – with all the crudity in his being – that not only will there be no peace in the Niger Delta, there will be no peace everywhere across the country.

“Let us remember that these two are not the only ones making threatening comments ahead of the 2015 elections.”

Tinubu, who said the presence of former Head of State, Gen Yakubu Gowon, and other eminent Nigerians had made the warning timely, added that other close associates of Jonathan had taken the 2015 “threat” to a ridiculous level.

He said, “Earlier, a gregarious presidential aide boasted that he would no longer bear his name if by 2014 the new political platform called the All Progressives Congress has not vanished into thin air! These are pretty strong words.

“And without mincing words, these statements must be seen for what they are: insensitive, inciting and incendiary. One must not forget to say such threats are utterly irresponsible and unjustifiable!

“Let us remember what Jodi Picout said, ‘Words are like eggs dropped from great heights; you can no more call them back than ignore the mess they leave when they fall’.”

The former Lagos State governor noted that elder statesmen in the country should take the appropriate steps to curtail the increasing threat to the unity of the country before the nation’s democracy was undermined.

Tinubu added, “It is also important for us not to keep quiet when the dead-enders unleash these kinds of words on us. We must not allow the ethnic militias to ruin our democracy or untie our unity.

“It is said that evil triumphs when good men do nothing. It is therefore incumbent on all our acknowledged good men to speak out against these ethnic jingoists, or those that the Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka will call lickspittle.”

He added, “To the best of my knowledge, President Goodluck Jonathan was elected by Nigerians of different ethnic groups. And no one single ethnic group, whether minority or majority, can single-handedly elect a President. No ethnic warlord or groveling aide can single-handedly elect a President.

“There is strength in our unity. Let us guard it jealously. Let us work hard to keep our country united. Above all, let us not take our unity for granted.”

Tinubu described Fafowora as a committed patriot, who “left the service not in the best of circumstances”, noting that the book was “a rare enrichment of our essence as Nigerians, with our collective institutional memory”.

shymex: ^^^^We can definitely survive without the oil from Niger/Delta - and I hope this will shut certain people up about other regions being parasitic..

We make more money from Agriculture than oil...

lacasa: No doubt. Politicians r the same, bt not all are like PDP

PDP's own is too bad

They r a party of vampirees cutting across all tribal n religious divides feasting on the massess as their prey

Neva trust a politician, YES.

But i'd rather give ACN/CPC/APGA the benefit of my vote than any PDP flag

Ikengawo: it is, and i would like for Nigeria to be this way, but i'm tell you how it is, not how it should be.

it SHOULD be open to the best man, but you can have igbo churches bombed every week, middle belters raided, and northerners demanding more of the south south's money, sharia law, and tolerance of almajiris and boko haram and expect the victimized people to vote for someone from the north.

They will only empower GEJ by running a northerner. The Nigerian statistics are fake, the north doesn't have the numbers to win an election for anyone. All elections have boiled down to how the SE SS and middle belt trust.

citizenY: THIS ONE IS NOT ABOUT COLLECTING TITHES,

THE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION AND OBJ NO DEY AGAIN,

HIM SERMON ENTER FROM ONE EAR COMMOT D OTHER ONE.

NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS

Nchara: Nigeria needs 6 states ONLY. Two in the SE, one each in the SS, SW, NC and NE and none for NW. So every zone has equal number of states:7. Or we go back to zones (6 zones) and abrogate all the states- actually a preferred option.

ATMC: @osaxx since when did all these matter? Open your eyes...the way you are talking about p.chris makes me think you have made a god out of him but i'll have you remember dt he is a man who is still struggling to enter heaven just like we all, he has not entered heaven he is still on earth and is laden with weaknesses...he's not perfect at all. Neither is he perfected by all those qualifications you listed. He even has a possibility of being shunned by d almighty on dt great day. Have you not read in d volume of d book it is written ...and many will say we 'raised' d dead in your name but he'll say to them i know you not depart from me ye workers of iniquity. Dear do not think pastor chris stands for d lord knows them dt are his
