am not a GEJ fan in any way but the truth must be said, before now GEJ has said left to him will be propose a 7years single tenure system for president and Governor. which i support him in a way,

am loving dis thread already. Cant wait till 2015 to be prove right or wrong.

omoku one of d places mentioned above in Rivers state used to enjoy on the average of atleast 18hrs hours light a day without paying a kobo for it. I dont know if d same condition is applicable today by the way d power is nt provided by d governmment but by Naoc (an oil company)
i think personally the power sector shld be privatize with government subsidy

@ poster am glad dis topic is out now cos i wanted to talk abt it myself.
My friend in Ghana prompted my view why in Nigeria women marry men i was shocked to hear dat so i asked her why she said dat, den she said in d weddin invitation card d lady's name come first.

I was shock because i taught before now, that was the norm every where  in d world
so i quickly decided to do a quick research and to ma greatest surprise d reverse was d case in other places outside nigeria.

D case of d invitation for d royal wedding btw prince williams and kate as already posted wil be brought to bear (this is not a matter of colonial mentality).i saw other invitation card outside nigeria wit d man's name coming 1st.

So ma conclusion is ur husband to be is right. Unless u have a reason to prove y d lady's name shld come first. I personally like pple like ur husband to be who like to change societal norm dat has come to be without justification.

2face is a bigger celebrity while Mikel is a bigger star.

dude can u clarify ur point

@Suladi am a full fledged Nigerian only dat am in Ghana for skol oh

i heard the 'if na only me' song by our very own 2face was pointing fingers to Mikel Obi for snubbing him (2face) when they saw in a night club in Lagos, ma country people my question is, between the duo who is a bigger celebrity to snub who, both locally and globally.
answer the question even though the story of snubbing might not be true.

cos for me until now i used to think 2face was the bigger celebrity, like is he is the biggest celebrity if not in Africa but Nigeria atleast

6 years aft this article was written to discredit the man of GOD nothing of such business venture as been seen. this goes a long way to expose lies against men of God

the truth is university education equips you for a better tomorow

i think wizkid does nt know the essense of university education as to him it is abt getttin a degree. but university education in a way makes u a better person. my point is se will would better if he adds education to his talent (datz is if he trully have one)

my point is this, irrespective of whosoever masterminded d act should be brought to book whether is buhari"s cpc or not. (mind u am a loyalist of BB)
another to point is dat Security wise GEJ jas failed the gud pple of NIgeria

even if d bombing was masterminded by cpc thug if he had recruited competent pple to man our security outfit d culprit should hav been brought to book.

dat been said i sympathize wit d victims n family members.

i wish other corpers will boycott the election for tomorow n subsequent onces until dere safety is secure

and since gej govt ends in may if dis madness continues an interim govt shld be formed.

this is a clear case of the infrigement on the sovereignty of a nation

GEJ last year promised to fix the problem this year bt wht do u see now another promise to fix the power sector in 4yrs

i fear for Nigeria

jason123:
With the way things are going, I really see riots in the North and SW if GEJ rigs himself in. Moreover, how can he win in a free and fair election when the two most populated regions in this election are the NW AND SW?? Most Swesterners now want BB over GEJ (after the rascal comment) even over Ribadu (an ACN candidate). NE and NC is not for GEJ. This election might just be the first time in Africa an incumbent president loses!!!!

i pray so bt this wil nt be d first tyme in africa only dat it rarelly occurs

dude above at best u can be describe as disillusional
Ghana cant neva beat nigeria for a third position

@poster u r indeed patrotic
but i have alway ask the question
how come Nigeria is called the Giant of Africa
is it a self acclaimed titled?

there is no link before this boy (the case) to PDP or GEJ

happy bday to u daddy G.O

mr man u r a millionaire now cos if u r nt den pls dont disturb d forum

thread like this make me believe there is hope for NIgeria
i am currently disadvantage by my location as am nt in nigeria
nevertheless i seriously advocating for Buhari but is has been hard to convice some of them that BUhari and Bakare is the best option for a better Nigeria still the struggle continues and victory is certain at long last.

i have promise to deliver atleast 100 votes for buhari and to plant him in the conscience of atleast 1000 Nigerians through my facebook and 2go pages

still nobody has answered the question

i wil try though am nt a pro jonathan am a core buhari/bakare

no more quene in the filling stations for fuel

that is the only achievement his 8 months of presidency can boast of

i ask a friend to tell me one achievement of GEJ apart from the no quene in filling station he shouted alot

three dayz and still counting he has not been able to mention one from his suppose many of GEJ's achievement despite intensive research abt that.

BTW am stil waiting to know more of his achievement

if i vote anyother candidate save buhari/bakare den am nt fair to ma generation
cos voting for anyother means depriving them of the good life

I am a core niger deltan but like i told my friend only buhari/bakare ticket can assure me of a new nigeria, a better nigeria, a nigeria i wil nt be ashamed to call home for me and my children unborn.

i believe in a new nigeria that works a nigeria that best be delivered to me by BB

NB: i bear no sentiment against GEJ cos he is a good man at heart

the change we need is now

there is no big deal in this, jimoh ibrahim is seeing a potential in the ghana energy sector as a business man he was to take part of. this has nufin to do with nigeria nt be safe for investment or ghana now better than nigeria.

that an American came to ghana to invest does nt mean Ghana is better than US


in business profit comes first

Demonstrations have broken out in Northern Nigeria as Northern youths protesting against their governors over their alleged "sell-out" at the PDP delegate Primary took to the streets.
Hundreds of Muslim youths poured into the streets of the northern cities of Kaduna, Bauchi, Katsina and Hadejia at the weekend in protest, burning PDP flags and membership cards, witnesses told elombah.com

On Sunday, the PDP campaign headquarters in the northern city of Sokoto burned, but the cause was unclear, local radio reported. But so far some of those youths in the North have not taken laws into their hands, according to reports available to elombah.com

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan's easily won the Peoples Democratic Party primary vote last week, but his candidacy remains has stirred anger because many Northers argue a northern candidate should have been given the nomination.

OPERATION YAKI


In Katsina, the home state of Jonathan's predecessor, the late Umaru Yar?Adua, fiery sermons were delivered in mosques during Friday prayers urging Muslims not to vote for PDP candidates, local media reported.
Mass text messages on mobile phones have also been sent condemning northern state governors as "the enemies of the north and Islam" for supporting Jonathan instead of Atiku Abubakar, who challenged the president for the nomination.

One of the text messages sent to elombah.com reads: the gay northern governors who voted for Goodluck Jonathan have xtian titles and prayed God to punish them. read: Allah ya tsinema Reverend Murtalla Nyako, Bishop Shehu Shema, Pastor Sule Lamido, Apostle Aliyu Akwe Doma, Deacon Isa Yuguda and Primate Idris Ibrahim. They are the enemies of the North and Islam. VOTE FOR BUHARI! Pls forward same to others.

Prominent northerners in Nigeria's ruling party, including the losing candidate in its presidential primary, held meetings at the weekend to plan their next move following President Goodluck Jonathan's victory last week.


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, defeated by Jonathan in Thursday's vote, met with ex-military ruler Ibrahim Babangida and former national security adviser Aliyu Gusau, all of whom are prominent northern opponents to Jonathan.


"They were reviewing the primaries," said Garba Shehu, Abubakar's campaign spokesman, but gave no details on the outcome of the meeting.


Some analysts have said Abubakar and his northern supporters could strike some sort of deal with opposition parties to try to ensure Jonathan does not win the April general election. There are talks of gENRAL Muhammadu Buhari reaching some sort of agreement with Atiku since the alliance talks between Buhari's CPC and Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN has flopped.

"We have resolved to renounce our membership of the PDP for the injustice meted on the north over the zoning arrangement and have started consultation on which of the northern candidates to vote for in the presidential election," said Ahmad Yazid Rafindadi, who led the protest in Katsina.

However, some governors of states in the North, over the weekend insisted that their decision to vote for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential candidate was hinged on the exigencies of national unity, patriotism and the need to uphold tenets of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

All three major opposition parties have nominated northern Muslim candidates.
Former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, running under the Congress for Progressive Change banner, is particularly seen as a potential threat to Jonathan if he forms an alliance with another influential party.
But despite the bluster, the extent of northern discontent with Jonathan remains difficult to gauge.
It was unclear whether the protests resulted from politicians co-opting youth gangs and sending them into the streets, as has been done in the past.
"There is strong public anger against northern PDP governors for going against the popular will of their people in supporting Jonathan in the primaries," said Abubakar Sadiq Mohammed, a political science professor at the northern Ahmadu Bello University.
"Certain political forces are no doubt exploiting this public disenchantment, especially the religious aspect of it."
Some had also predicted that Jonathan's primary run would result in violence and that Abubakar, an ex-vice president, would be a strong challenger.
In the end, Jonathan handily defeated Abubakar. There has been an upsurge in violence in recent weeks, including bomb attacks in the capital Abuja and the central city of Jos, but it is unclear whether it is directly linked to Jonathan's run.
"The whipping of religious sentiment in the north against , President Goodluck Jonathan is a dangerous development to the sustenance of democracy and national peace and stability," said Shehu Sani of the northern Civil Rights Congress organisation.
"It is equally true that politicians and Christian clerics in the south are also using religion to promote and rally support for Jonathan against northern candidates."
The Northern Elders Assembly, which challenged Jonathan's candidacy in court, blames northern PDP delegates who supported the president.
"The delegates should have thought that the choice of President Jonathan would provoke religious sentiment, which is very dangerous," Tanko Yakasai, a spokesman for the group, told newsmen.
