REVOLUTNIS: Religion plays a major rule in the leadership of Nigerian, u can't dispute that its a known fact.

Stop that trash, it is only in Nigeria populated with lazy religious zombies and scammers where that exists. Let me educate you a bit, in Senegal, a christian was voted in as president. How was that possible if religion must be considered in a country of about 95% muslims?

qualified: I noticed something on this thread. Most of all pretending not to care about d man's religion are doing so out of bitterness and are all Muslims who invariably are not happy a Christian is in power. Why are they always power-drunk? (imagine, celebrating someone 's death cos of his religion) wickedness!
No pretence, 'two Muslims' is not a good thing for Kaduna State.
Osunoriginal, quote me and make ur fanatic statements. SADISTIC RELIGIOUS PEOPLE

Continue to display your lunacy. I am muslim of course but wait a minute, are we discussing religion here or politics? We will continue to educate you on what governance is all about. It has got nothing to do with religion and the issue of the religion of the person in power should not come at all. Do I care if Yaro is a muslim, of course no. What I care about is how he leads. But Xtians wants relevance and want to show their presence - the reason we have all these problems including the BH issue. Like a saying goes "minority makes the loudest shout" - this is true and we can all see it.
,
In South West here, we chased Oyinlola (Osun) and Alao Akala (Oyo) out of power, not because they are xtians but for non performance and their hopelessly corrupt ways. In these two state, muslims are in the majority but did any muslim cry or shout that the govs are xtians? It is a pity that you guys are like this - very pathetic.

khattab008: Interesting Interview Dumb people will still doubt the credibility of this Man

Igbos will never agree with you - they are cursed and always stick to their destruction path.

ogb5: everybody is giving interviews these days.

Some questions I would have loved him to answer.

Why did he allow so many people to get un-employed by banning the importation of almost all raw materials used by indutries. He commenced the killing of Nigeria's industralisation by that action. Almost 30yrs after, many of the affected industirs are still dead.

Why did he turn PTF into an arewa organisation. The oputa panel documented the abuse effectively. Our commonwealth as a nation was single handedly used by him to develop a few section of the north at the expense of the whole country.

and why the hell did he not campaign in the south all these time he has been running for president. Is it because as far as he is concern, the North is the lord amd master of the country? and as such the south does not count?


Why did he, a northerner take another notherner as his 2nd in command when he was head of state.
Why did he a muslim, take another moslem as his 2nd in command when he was head of state.

why was shagari a northern president put under house arrest while ekwueme, a southern vice president sent to kirikiri maximum prison?
All these issue point to one fact: Buhari does not believe in the equality of states in Nigeria. To him Northerners are more of a concern to him, the rest does not matter

Then go and learn how those good countries you want to run to started. Use your head for a moment, tell me the number of jobs Nigeria has lost from the closure of textile industries? Do you know what kill those industries? Do you ever know the number of jobs Nigeria will create if we have local industries making most of the things that we import? Today, we even import toothpick. Do you know the number of jobs we would create and where Nigeria would be in terms of self reliance if we look inward rather than our lazy quick cash approach to life?

Why, why, why do we have Igbos in this country? Why didn't Gowon allow them to go?

[quote author=enigma_otr]It's high time we Christians realised the real savior was not born this time of the year. The messiah's name is not Jesus and the name of the Almight Creator isn't God or Lord or Jehovah. Wonder why we call on the wrong person in prayers and consequently prayers are not answered. It's by mercy that some of our prayers are answered. Call upon me-YAHUWEH-and i'll answer you. Whatever you ask in my name-YAHUSHUA-that i'll do.[/quote]See xtianity and controversy...

If there is hell fire, most of you will have your space reserved in the hotest part of it for writing and swisting statements to suit your whims.

Sun of god: fc.uking sellout . . . . this Nigg.a will do anything for power.

Ngigie - the 'Igbo Cameleon' . . . .

watch this 'fool' - he's turning into a 'Yoruba' shysta!

And these are the Igbos some people are saying we should consider for VP in the event of merger. I have said it again and again, Igbos should NOT be given any consideration in the proposed merger - they wont add any value. They should be isolated and put where they belong - south east bush.

kaeto: be ready to face GOD's wrath on the day of judgement. Insulting Jesus is now what most of you he created and gave life enjoy doing most. You are warned.

What is this slowpoke saying? Jesus created you? May God almighty forgive your ignorance and deliver you before it is too late. Your post is like taking dogmatism too far - how are you different from Sat Gurumaragi?

Bridgedude: @Osun original--- If u're truly a yoruba guy talkin' like dis then u r a big fool!

We will stop thinking this way the day xtians start to see politics as politics - nothing to do with religion. Why should any right thinking person care about the religion of a governor or deputy governor? Are these religious posts or church management posts? You can see the posts from xtian fanatics asking if the chosen deputy is a xtian. What kind of question is that? You have muslims in Edo state, how many times have muslims there or elsewhere queried anybody for not considering them for deputy governor? Most of the problems we have in the country today in the north are caused by xtians provoking their muslims hosts/neighbors - I can see that from the posts here.

And finally, you are the fool not me for not seeing anything wrong in the wapped thinking of your fellow xtian fanatics.

[quote author=Bigboy 100%]I see a lot of numb skulls here, get it clear: Nuhu Bajoga is a christian from Kwoi, Jaba Loval Govt of Kaduna State,he even attends ECWA Church. He worked with the Ashaka Cement Company for many years b4 he retired abt 10 years ago and joined politics,where he was first a deputy governorship candidare in the 2002 PDP governorship primaries. They lost the primaries to then incubent govenor Ahmed Moh'd Makarfi . He was Naija's ex-ambassador to Poland and Czech republic 2003 to 2007 b4 he was appointed as state PDP chairman by the late Yakowa in June 2012. Bajoga is also from the same clan with the late Yakowa's wife and also Plateau State governor's wife Talatu Jonah Jang. They are all cousins from the same clan. The power of PDP in kaduna state resides with the people of southern Kaduna who are 90% Christians, there4 the muslims cannot even dream of bringing a muslim-muslim ticket it will never work coz the christians have a voting power of almost 1 million votes and they always decide the fate of who rules the state. Now the muslims gave Bajoga this position so that they will take the Party Chairmanship from the christians. The youths all over town are protesting against his appointment,mind you his house is just a stone's throw from mine cos we are from the same town and we are going to pour out our fury on him for this traitor-like act. He should reject the post simpliciter. Kids should stop watching too much TV and go do some lil' research 'bout their post before sending jargons for other peeps consumption on this forum: Outro ! I dey vex Bajoga.[/quote]If not that the muslims there are too considerate and loving, why should they in the first place allow a minority group (a christian) to chair a popular party in a muslim dominated state? You see, the day muslims begin to think like christians, a lot of opportunities will be missed by christians and you will only shout in vain afterall you are minority - democracy is a game of number. I think the muslims in Kaduna are wising up now and probably begining to think the way christians (religious fanatics/zoobies) will think.

donofdons: He is christian and an igboman from ohafia in imo state but his mother is half polish and half igbo while his father is an igbo buizness man whose wife is a sister to the late major general chukwuma kaduna nzeogwu( the famous leader of the 1966 coup)...... See how far the north have progressed and shuned prejudice...

That will never happem in that God abandoned land called yiboland. They are a curse on nigeria and whatever this country stands for. They should be allwed to form their own landlock country please so we can chase them out of the rest of Nigeria.

Femmymata2: Why can't adeboye,oyedepo,kumuyi,oritsejafor e.t.c board their private jet to north and confront,tackle,destroy these boko haram with the power of holyspirit,blood of jesus christ and fire of God. Or is it only money dey sabi collect ? They should use their God given power to save their members in the north

A pagan has more power than those busness men. How do you expect God to be anywhere near those scammers?

Kslib: Hahahahaha!!!!! So abraham get him own fire... Chai, lord have mercy... laff don finish me today.....
@BTW,ask yourself this question "Why is it that you and adeboye/other strong men of God have prayed against this boko haram wahala times without number,but boko haram still keeps killing people/xtians"?? God wants us to wake up and solve this boko haram problem physically as a country,cos boko haram is not a spiritual problem.....

Leave them alone... let them continue to shout to a god that doesnt exist. TB Josua will not see where bombs will explode tomorrow. He only sees a governor or president death. Scammers...

Stevechibu: it is beta dey stay @ home,pray to God dan going to gather @ one place

No pastor will agree with this advice oop - if xtians begin to worship at home, church owners/pastors will lose tithe money. That tithe money is part of the problem my brother.

Chinua Achebe go win this contest of Hall of Shame.

qualified: I'm sure u will not say this if both were to be Christians. Kaduna State cannot survive two Muslims, no pretence pls.

Sit down there - Xtians will not rule Kaduna again and the reason they picked that old man for deputy governor. And very soon, you will even lose the DG post.

abubello: Why not. Sincerely, i think the majority muslims in kaduna are just being timid or over sensitive. Look at it this way: Of the three senatorial zones in Kaduna state two are muslim dominated while the third is christian dominated. Yet the Deputy Governors post is always allocated to Kaduna South. Compare this with Edo State with almost the same ratio: 2 to 1 sentoriial zone, only this time the majority are christians, Yet Muslims in Edo have never produced either the Governor Deputy Governor.

A muslim muslim Ticket can easily win in Kaduna just like a christian-christian Ticket has been winning in Edo State

It is simply becuase muslims are accommodating and always want to be fair to all. Why do you think South West is accommodating and you see even Igbos living good life on our land? It is because majority here are muslims and even those that are christians have mislim background unlike what you see in the SE.

Donmeca: Are u ok? D current governor was made deputy to balance d religious equation. Sambo is vice for the same reason. Why attack d poster?

Shut the Bleep up... What religious equation are you talking about? If not for trouble makers and retards like you in the state, he should have appointed a muslim as deputy governor to avoid insane people like you wishing him dead.

simon gonner: Barring a last-minute change,
Governor Muktar Ramalan Yero
will today present the name of
Ambassador Nuhu Bajoga to the
State House of Assembly for
confirmation as Kaduna State
deputy governor.
Bajoga, 63, is chairman of the
state chapter of the ruling
People’s Democratic Party and a
former Nigerian ambassador to
Poland.
Senior party and government
sources told Daily Trust
yesterday that Bajoga was
endorsed at the PDP caucus
meeting in Kaduna on Saturday.
The meeting was chaired by Vice
President Mohammed Namadi
Sambo, and attended by Yero
and other top-notch party
members.
At the opening of the meeting,
the governor solicited for the
support of the caucus in
choosing the best deputy
governor for the state.
Sources at the meeting told Daily
Trust yesterday that with the
endorsement by the caucus,
Bajoga’s appointment is very
likely to be announced today.
A source close to the Kaduna
Government House told our
reporter that Bajoga was seen in
the past three days attending
various meetings with Yero and
other top party leaders. This, the
source said, was preparatory to
his appointment as deputy
governor.
Bajoga’s endorsement was
coming a week after the death
of Mr Patrick Yakowa in a
helicopter crash in Bayelsa State.
Meanwhile, the Coalition of
Concerned Southern Kaduna
Professionals has opposed the
selection of Bajoga as deputy
governor.
“We are against the selection of
Nuhu Audu Bajoga, present state
chairman of PDP as Deputy
Governor nominee from
Southern Kaduna area, because
it is a calculated plot to deprive
the Southern Kaduna area from
holding the PDP state chair that
is of immense political value and
significance,” the group said in a
statement jointly signed by Dr.
Kyari Yates and Dr. John
Danfulani.
“It is also in the spirit of
renewed political enslavement of
our people using such a divisive
and sinister Greek gift. There are
more qualified youthful and
competent Southern Kaduna
politicians and professionals
who fit into role expected of a
sound deputy governor in all
means.”
They added: “We are declaring
our total resistance of this
action, as part of thee
encroaching political extinction
of our people via the promotion
of ‘gerontocracy’ and complete
sidelining of Southern Kaduna’s
younger generation and the
institutionalization of Northern
Kaduna over lordship over our
people.”
“This act of imposing a 63 years
old man would not have been
conceived in good faith since
the man, Nuhu Bajoga, would be
too old to aspire for the office of
the governor at the expiration of
the present administration--this
will ultimately scuttle our
chances of piloting the affairs of
the state in alternate manner as
required by the principle of fair
play,” the group said.

Look at them - illitrates. They see PDP chair as a way to control the policy of the state in their favor and to the detriments of the majority in the state. You can see how religious bigots think. Go and hug transformer if you dont like it - Bajoga is the Deputy Governor.

topsy1971: It seems it's a muslim-muslim ticket now. This is not too healthy for a state that has tangible christian population. I foresee regilious insurgency, occassioned by grudges and pains of unsatisfied christians on this decision.Goodluck to the state anyway.

How do you mean by not too healthy? Is it religion that will bring good road, good healthcare system, and of course food on the table of the poor people? Get civilized man, government should have nothing to do with religious consideration afterall Nigeria constitution is secular.

If I were Yaro, I will pick a muslim as my VP to avoid evil religious bigots plotting to kill the governor.

And you talked about insurgency, the governor should deal decisively with any religious trouble makers in the state - be it xtians or muslims.

afam4eva: Is he a Christian or Muslim?

He is a muslim - go and kiss transformer.

What has religion got to do with the position - stupid fool. VP normally is a spare tyre - even a commissional is more active than him.

folahann: If Buhari, ANPP, APGA and others join ACN, the impact Tinubu has will reduce drastically. Even if PDP is not defeated, they will be shaken and could be overthrown at the next election.
Two party system will surely make the incubent party sit-up 'cause they will be down at any slip-up.

Remove APGA from the list...

What's this man doing in lagos today for God's sake? Is he coming to install Anenih as npa chairman?

thelastPope: So how do you know Buhari is speaking the truth. You lot are all funny. Quoting his words and saying it clears things up. So funny. I was in school in 1983 when he took over. The guy is a big fool and the reason we are going through what we are going through today. If he had not truncated our democracy, we would have gone through all the teething stages during the 80s and 90s. Now we are trying to go through it in 2012. Buhari should be lined on the street and flogged. He is a big fool who wanted to rule for life in a Sharia based Nigeria just like Murtala Mohamed. He was a thief and among the first corrupt set of military officers along with Gowon, OBJ and IBB. He is a coward that hid behind Idiagbon for 20 months and had no true followers in the military. A dolt who tried to use the WAI cliche to decieve gullible Nigerians but everyone later saw through him.

The simple way to no a good leader is:
How many true prodigies has he mentored?
How many persons and communities has he influenced positively aparts from using the islamic carrot to garner almajiris?
What did he do with 100s of millions of PTF monies. Where are the projects he built accross the country?

This man is a fraudster and deceiver that will only get support from people who know nothing of our history and do not ask simple questions.

Read the interview again. How did the journalist know the properties he owns? Can a man who has declared his asset again and again lie about it? Records are there if you have access to it. We know those that stole money - you can't hide it.

And what is your age? I can see you asking what Buhari did with PTF money - this forum is for matured and intelligent people please!

4unme: [b]LETS LEARN FROM THE BOOK OF JAMES 2:1-10
My brothers, YOU are not holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, our glory, with acts of favoritism, are YOU? 2 For, if a man with gold rings on his fingers and in splendid clothing enters into a gathering of YOU, but a poor [man] in filthy clothing also enters, 3 yet YOU look with favor upon the one wearing the splendid clothing and say: “You take this seat here in a fine place,” and YOU say to the poor one: “You keep standing,” or: “Take that seat there under my footstool,” 4 YOU have class distinctions among yourselves and YOU have become judges rendering wicked decisions, is that not so?
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. God chose the ones who are poor respecting the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he promised to those who love him, did he not? 6 YOU, though, have dishonored the poor [man]. The rich oppress YOU, and they drag YOU before law courts, do they not? 7 They blaspheme the fine name by which YOU were called, do they not? 8 If, now, YOU practice carrying out the kingly law according to the scripture: “You must love your neighbor as yourself,” YOU are doing quite well. 9 But if YOU continue showing favoritism, YOU are working a sin, for YOU are reproved by the law as transgressors.
10 For whoever observes all the Law but makes a false step in one point, he has become an offender against them all
[/b]

When will these people see that this forum is for people who have got brain and ready to use it? Keep your bible verses for the lazy dundees in your churches - the world here has moved and people are using their brain to address issues

muktar mtt: shut d Bleep wch intergrity d man is formr barawo olee

I am with you on this. Anenih has got no integrity - dont miscontrue my post. People were talking about age whereas what matters is whether the man has integrity or not - definitely he has got none. It is therefore a mockery of our democracy for Jonathan to appoint Anenih as the chairman of NPA. It is like adding salt to injury.

aribisala0: Okorocha will never be sellable even if he turns water into wine.We need to tell ourselves the truth. Witness the recent celebration in Kaduna of Yakowa's demise.

If the "long overdue" Igbo presidency is to occur in Nigeria then Nigerians will have to change their attitude to Igbos and Igbos too will have to make some changes in their politics.

The North are quite bitter about the Yar'adua issue and say zoning is dead.
If zoning is dead and tribalism ia alive in Nigeria How can an Igbo man become president? The same old approach will produce the same results.

The issue is not about what is fair or just or right but the numbers game in Nigeria. Any President needs support of 24 out of 36 states and there are 19 in the North and 6 in the SW that probably will not vote for a SE candidate based on current sentiments. If that is to change new friendships must develop. I really do not see that happening right now so let us forget about Rochas. We know it won't happen.It seems very likely tha GEJ will be kicked out of office in 2012 and replaced by an Aboki as he has succeeded in alienating everyone

Nothing will change - Igbo can't be president in Nigeria, period. They should break away (as they tried in the past) if they dont like to be secretary to the Federal Government.

0lumide: Oshiomole and Fashola are not yet sellable until after their 8year term has ended. As in after 2015.

Tho Fash and Osho are sellable now in the south, the Nigerian factor won't let them win in 2015.

I believe if the opposition parties merge and they really want to win, it will have to be a Northerner as president and say Fashola or Oshiomole as vice.

If GEJ should go in 2015 with PDP, then Ribadu/Fashola will win. But if PDP present a Northerner, the best person that can win is Buhari with a Fashola vice.

GEJ's image is already damaged so any young politician can win. Okorocha is not sellable yet. until he finishes his two terms as governor.

Let's just pray PDP brings Jonathan. If they do, Ribadu/Fashola will have both North and SW and even 40% from SS and about 660-70% FROM SE. But SW/NW/MB/NE/NC are sure banker for Ribadu/Fashola ticket if PDP brings GEJ. But if David Mark or any other old Northerner go, I think the opposition's best choice will have to be Buhari/Fashola

And how will Ribadu/Fashola win? I dont still understand why some few people still keep talking about Ribadu? Ribadu is a nobody in the north and therefore can't win anything - GEJ will trash him in the north. The only person that without spending a kobo will sweep the whole of North is Buhari. I want to belief the opposition has learnt and seen this.

honeric01: Please just remove Tinubu because he is not sell-able at all, it's best he stays behind the screen. Maybe Oshiomole/Okorocha or someone in that "form"

Remove Igbo from the equation - we dont need Igbo even as VP. They have got no value to add.

PointB: I agree. Likewise Buhari, and Tinubu.

So Buhari and Anenih are now to be compared. Your head needs to be examined - definitely some of the cells are sick or dead.
