And who cares who they elect as their gov?

If you like, bring Ibori back from prison and make him your gov.

roxell120: i prove u wrong because its only akunyili that can raise her head high in this area IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY.ve u heard she returned unspent millions to her office after her medical trip abroad while working PTF?

At least you agreed no Igbo man will make the list - good.

Is this a political gathering or religious gathering? Or UN organising another meeting in Israel?

Nobody is talking about the expenses that will be incurred by this act of profligacy.

How many countries on earth is doing this?

ASUU is on strike, Jonathan flew his entire cabinet to Israel with millions of naira. Any seriously leader will avoid unnecessary expenses especially where it adds no value to the people.

Your wife is in Israel praying for GEJ...

All I know is, no Igbo man or woman will make any serious list.

[quote author=blaise26.abj]South- West people are not cows that follow-follow what these thieves in politics permutate. SW has always analysed the situation of things before voting, which is devoid of influence of Tinubu. 2011 elections is an indication of this. State level, people in the SW voted for AC and PDP @ the national level. Drawing from performance based assessment.

The SW people are not fools. I have talked to 3 anti-PDP people ( i'm one myself) and we all agreed that Goodluck Jonathan has tried in the face of daunting challenges. That devoid of those challenges, he would have done a lot more things. The only part that shows lack of progress is the fight against corruption.[/quote]Who and who agreed that GEJ has tried? Tell me one thing he has done? You now have power in your village 24x7?

Power situation is getting worse despite the noise about power plant project commissioning.

Corruption is becoming more of way of life.

Tell me one thing GEJ has done to better your life as ordinary Nigerian?

gboss4sure: Mention the Bad GEJ stands for.........

You are a very primitive mumu if you dont know the very bad things GEJ respresents.

- corruption tops the list - the reason he refused to clear his asset. No the country is broke with oil theft reaching a very annoying level and Topolo collecting billions of naira for securing our coaster line. This is after fuel subsidy fraud on the watch of the same Mr "I dont ive a damn".

- Nothing is working - power situation is getting worse and all we hear everyday is noise of commissioning of phantom power projects with nothing to show for it.

- ASUU is on strike and more unions to join

- Lawlessness is reaching a frightening hight in the land with the PDP govs/GEJ fight - river state drama, Abuja drama, etc.

- Nothing done about the rising unemployment - if you are feeding people and some other people depend on you, you will understand what I mean but a student like you may not appreciate it. When you get out of school, you will know.

- Reckless spending

- no vision, no inspiration, no idea.

Well done... Awon omo Oduduwa rere.

shachris: Do you guys think with your anus? APC can never nominate a SW VP candidate. That would be a political suicide. With a without a yoruba VP slot, yorubas would vote masively for APC. The only undecided region now is SE and APC has more political sense as to field an SE candidate that can win the region over and give them the required 25%. This is just a propaganda being propagated by PDP paid media dogs, to discourage SE from supporting APC

SE should vote for GEJ, we dont need their votes.

1MCN: I was in Owerri over last week and almost all the local prints read of Okorocha's 2nd term ambition. Now I know why.
Point of correction, Nd'Imo have never supported Okorocha's surugede dance with the APC but as a matter of duty his political staff must stand by him whatever direction he chooses to move insofar their pay is coming. Okorocha is now swimming against the current and he must have realized by now how fo()lhardy his impulsive action was. If the APC picks him for VP he's still gonna be a political liability. All these excuses are just smart moves to rupu the man.
Well, please someone should tell our celebrated APC that if the rule is that there must not be muslim-muslim ticket and it must be north-south then let them make some sacrifices if they're serious. Pick a north Christian and a south muslim like Fashola. This is the only combination that'll appeal most well informed Nigerians. Oh, I forgot, in Nigerian political mathematics it is not BODMAS. It's SAMDOB

Okoro wants to reap where they have not planted anything - their usual way of life. You are supporting the dumbo in ASO rock and at the same time you want us to take you seriously.

Nobody promised Okorocha VP slot and he didn't join APC because of VP slot - go and ask him.

Omisore should be ignored. He is a rogue waiting to pay for his atrocities when we have a good national government.

Danhumprey: So,zoning do exist in APC?? Interesting! Well,if this news is anything to go by,then I feel sorry for the South East. They have been grossly marginalized. Many of them had hinge their hope on APC,but with this turn of event,these wouldn't be the best of time for them.

How has SE hinged their hope on APC? By supporting GEJ and all the bad GEJ stands for? And what hope are you talking about? Igbos and hope... I dey laugh...

This guy (OP) is an imbe.cile - go and check, Aregbesola has been offering free rail service since about three years ago for Sallah and Xmas. I have not seen anything done by GEJ on rail service. He might have patched the same old rail track and some old coal-propelled train with billions of our dollars anyway - it is all looting. The day we have a serious and desciplined government, you will know what they call rail service revolution.

Trut: Why are the notherners afraid of National Conference?

Osita Okechukwu is a northerner? Tinubu is a northerner? Imbe..

Don Magic Juan: Yes. Thank you for proving to me that fundamental islam exists in the SW and Osun is the new mecca south of the Niger River.

Osun state has been majorly a muslim state from creation but nobody paid attention to religion in SW generally. We lived together like brothers and sisters. The religion jobbers/pastors came with their usual noise and that brought religious consciousness to SW muslims.

The last time I travelled to Osun state, I couldnt believe how religious people have become - people that in those days would not even think of using cap and asking their female family members to use Hijab are all now using it. Further more, the official greeting is now Salam Alaikum everywhere. It is unbelievable how xtians and their pastors have push people deeper into their religion. Sincerely, even xtians in those communities will be feeling ashamed among the people that they are xtians. Anyway, Yorubas are accommodating and we dont descriminate based on religion - we are all brothers and systems - muslims, xtians and traditional worshippers.

Okoro, you hear me? Theiving and worshiping...

russellino: So Abubakar Shekau is or was a CAN member?

Somebody is funding Shekau... Who are these people? The present CAN is in my list of suspects.

See naivitity at its best... Prayer for what?

Why not encourage people to stay away from corruption, do things in the best interest of their country/community, work hard and be desciplined in everything they do? Try this and you will see how potent the formula is.

God doesnt need your prayers to do anything for you. You just do the right thing and you will get what you want. You can't continue to deceive yourself and others into believing that wrong will produce right with prayers.

Prayer is a lazy approach to life - when I see a man praying, shouting and sweating, I see a very lazy hopeless human being.

software man: It is obvious that CAN under oritsejafor is morbidly anti Islam and utterly religious ly bigoted. The only rational reason for attacking aregnesola is because he is a practicing Muslim.

What valid points have they raised in this press release? If they disagree with the new educational policy , it is a diffrent matter. But the policy affects christian and muslim schools alike, so why introduce religious sentiments into it?

That was how they started Boko Haram in the north - it is either CAN is founding BH or they forced the radical elements in islam into terrorism by all this noise and shameless show of hatred for other peoples who dont belief in the trash they call religion. And to make matter worse, the people they are showing hatred toward are the owners of the land - the host communities.

That reminds me of a pastor in a town in Osun state where I grew up. This guy had a very loud roof-top speaker in his church. This peaceful place being a muslim town, the old fool's sermon was always about Islam and muslims - abusing the muslim leaders and running around town shouting everyday/week. I am sure the little energy in the guy would have bene exhausted by now and probably waiting to die off if he is not dead already. Where i am going is, if the people of the town were not tolerant and very accommodating, they would have burnt down the church and probably with the man.

Those xtian leaders and preachers are the real trouble makers.

So, we own europe and someone is saying we must pay 3 thousand pounds to enter our forefather's land.

Africans should simply print out this post and use as visa to those countries going forward - afterall our forefathers own the land.

Interesting universe - I am just to trying to imagine what the whole place looked like a few millions years back.

SLIDE waxie: do u expect APC to win in delta?

The guy is thinking with his anus - let him continue to live in self-delusion that PDP we will in 2015.

Delta state, the state of slaves where Ibori ruled without any challenge from the docile people..

See Nigerians again and their naive mentality...

Why should anybody belief a pastor that saw danger but could not do anything to prevent it? Every human being dreams and they see things in their dreams. The ability to see clearly what is coming is rear - saying you see danger is vague and anybody can see this. And being able to prevent this is really what should make a person spiritually powerful - this so called pastor couldnt even clearly see what the danger was talkless of preventing it.

Three days revival was held to avert the danger but what happened at the end of the day? The disaster still happened.

Stop wasting your time - whole three days were wasted on revival the same way we waste years and years praying, wasting the little resources on the so called pastors who most of us are even better than in terms of piety.

The pastor should tell us the reason for the 3 days revival - did it produce any result?

Here we have people blocking major highway in the name of revival and making life a hell for travellers every month.

Our "yahoo yahoo" pastors didn't see this.

nwabobo: [size=16pt]Click like if you are for GEJ![/size]

Wow! You got 29 likes from igbos - great.

Gej has won the election - who does not know Igbos represent 80% of Nigeria population.

Because he is corrupt, indiscipline and not competent to lead a country desirous of development in aspects of life.

After we have chased anything Igbo out of SW.

glo3nity: THEY WILL NEVER LET AN IGBO MAN RULE!, STILL NOT LET IGBOS SUCCEED!! What is IT and the AECH?! I think is high time BIAFRA rise, Come to be LET'S put a STOP to all this MADNESS and EVERY ONE know where HE/SHE BELONG. If IGBOS CAN SUCCEED OWNER THEIR OWN ZONE I dont think ONE STUPID USELESS FOOLISH BAGGAR FROM AN UGLY DE-TASTEFUL COUNTRY WILL DARE POINT A FINGER OUT OUR FACE IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT THE REST RETURN BACK TO HIM! I DON'T THINK SO!!

BIAFRA! IS TIME TO WAKE FROM THAT SLEEPING TUB!!!

I can't imagine ibos ruling human beings in Nigeria. Or a biafran ruling Nigerians.

Italiano1: Not entirely correct.

I will not come here and be philosophizing about the differences between Yorubas and Ibos but from my observations, Ibos mistake taking the easy route to making money as being brave and industrious. Give an average Ibo man a US Visa or an Indonesia or Brazilian Visa, it is obvious he will choose the latter for "economic" reasons.

He knows he probably has to go to school in the US, start from the scratch, patiently integrate and gradually build his way up- that is not a good option for him; Rather he will go Brazil or Indonesia where if he plays his card right and the luck of his ancestors are with him, he could become a millionaire in a few months despite the fact that he is well aware of the grave consequences .

Now the average Yoruba will definitely choose a US Visa because he sees an opportunity to get a good education and gradually work his way up. Ibos will term this as fearful and lack of courage. On the contrary, I think the reverse is the case, just because you are patient does not imply fear or lack of courage.

Only animals think like ibos. Normal human beings should think constructively and do things that can be passed on to coming generations.

DeLaRue: “The Acting High Commissioner wrote
the immigration requesting to meet
with him on the issue Monday but all
to no avail, we haven’t got from them
officially. We learnt, though
unofficially, that the authorities made
a similar arrest of China citizens last
week but we don’t have details. We
won’t relent in defending the interest
our people here. We have to continue
with the struggle”.
“We counted 27 Nigerians in detention

ASSUMING THIS REPORT IS CREDIBLE, then ...not much surprise there.

Why is it whenever the locals are fed up with Nigerians and ask them to leave, they always go on about being disturbed from running their 'business.'

Everything boils down to 'business' 'business' 'business.' Claiming a right to being left alone to do business in another man's land without reciprocating by abiding by their laws, and most importantly hating on your hosts is never going to get you anywhere.

First China;
Then South Africa;
And Kenya;
Then Lagos;
Now, Botswana.

Seriously, you guys have to check yourself, and see what you are doing wrong. You will find Japanese doing business in most countries, but you never hear them making trouble or claiming a God-given right to 'do business' on their own terms.

Ibos again? They should deal with them decisively and deport them if necessary but ensure you dump them in their states.

cumpaddre: If APC doesn't flaunt a Fashola/Okorocha ticket, dey shud 4get it.

See the maturity level of the people we discuss with on NL.

[quote author=la!]many here obviously did not read the article....[/quote]They are igbos with hatred running in their veins. Those guys must not be allowed near Aso Rock as president or VP.

They lack vision, moral and anything good but tribalism and all that means negatives including crime.

chukwudi44: This move by Atiku would benefit GEJ by splitting the northern votes while he coasts home to victory.

Don't deceive yourself, it is PDP that will suffer by reducing it to a regional party.

Just like 2011, if Buhari contests, majority of northerners will vote for him why the rest which should have gone to PDP will now go to PDM. There will be nothing for PDP in the north and rigging will be impossible.

South West is APC and nothing will stop that.

Hence, I am waiting to see how Igbo/Ijaw votes will make GEJ the president in 2015.
