Lmao.

I wish to see the distributions for Pastors too.

Some one will collect this and start.quoting quran and bible to manipulate people who respect their views and gullible and hungry Nairalanders will hear and say

"Hmmmmmmmm GEJ till 2019"

Imagine seeing the list of disbursements to Nairaland e-Rats pretending to be activists (lol)

With the rate of poverty flying around, 1,000,000 will not only make.people defect but write epistle on how Jesus told them in their dream on where to go.

It is a pathetic situation that Nigeria find itself. Integrity is sold on the altar of highest bidder, men with honour are bought with chicken change and go about laundering image of a corrupt and reckless regime all because money is to be made.

See Ayo Odumakin who after attendance at the conference organized by GEJ with his wife have now began to sing a new song forgetting his role in the fuel subsidy protest.

The lowest for odumakin was his voicing support for the removal of Jega and asking for election postponement too and I felt the saying that " THERE IS NO MAN THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT" aptly described some pro democracy activists in Nigeria, apologises to the likes of Wole Soyinka, pastor tunde bakare, shehu musa, festus keyamo and others who still give hope to average Nigerians that there are still few with conscience.

It's so hard to believe we have a stupid, daft and idiotic lameduck president who can't put his wife in check.

For seun who was asking what PEJ has to do with the attack in another thread, I hope this answers your question.

What's the need to destroy, kill and distrupt an opposition rally? A rally attendance doesn't determine where people will vote, if GEJ and his wife feels he has done and achieved so much, then.they should allow their performance and the love people have for them.prevail.

Why shoot at people because they have the audacity to campaign in the President's wife hometown? It is a campaign rally not a referendum.

What this kind of performance by Evans Bipi does is to malign people against PEJ and in the long run cast aspersion on her dummy of A husband.

Really hard for Dakuku and all indigenes of Okrika who do not believe and worship this self acclaimed JESUS OF OKRIKA.

God bless and keep Rotimi Amaechi and Dakuku Adol Peterside.

Let someone play back the tapes of Turai Yar-Adua for Patience JonaTAN, power is transient and is temporal.

She left Aso Rock deliberately to organize this havoc and mayhem that have now led to waste of lives yet her husband is in the country and couldn't tell her to stay back in her temporal abode in Aso Rock while APC do their thing and leave her much loved hometown. A rally that won't last more than 4 hours, she couldn't take the insult for them daring to campaign in her village.

Let those who are gullibly fooled that the stupi.d one in Aso Rock is humble and humane continue to be fooled.

Reuben Abati has given a press statement stating Obasanjo wanted to head the Interim National Government that you called a PROPAGANDA, what is known to you is more than what is happening in the corridors of power. If The Presidency have come out to say someone wanted to head the ING don't you now belief there was a plan and arrangement for it.

With this development, pdp would be in disarray now because all they know to do and are banking is rigging at the poll.
Rigging in the next election will be tantamount to a Herculean task when the APC can boast of quality and robust membership round every polling unit in Nigeria unlike in previous election where only PDP have agents across the federation and the opposition only monitoring their strongholds.

With card readers and PVCs, every vote cast can and will matched to a fingerprint of a registered voter in that polling unit, how can multiple ballot take place when the total number of vote in that polling unit has been entered into the database immediately after accreditation in the morning, every vote to be cast is linked to a particular person and all ballot papers matching the fingerprint of everybody in that particular polling unit.

INEC under Jega has tremendously improve the electioneering process and the adoption of Card readers, fingerprint match and PVCs is indeed a giant move forward in the enhancement of credible, fair and open elections.

Politics2015 Elections Will Be Difficult To Rig--INEC by pendy79(op): 5:27pm On Feb 16, 2015
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has stated that the rescheduled general election in the country will be difficult to rig.

Benue State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Professor Istifanus Defwang dropped this hint on Friday, when he paid a visit to the state governor, Mr Gabriel Suswam. He said the commission’s preparedness for the elections and the introduction of computerised card reading machines had less than one per cent failure rate.

The REC noted that officials of the commission would not condone any act of indiscipline from politicians but would follow laid down procedures that would ensure the success of the election.

He, therefore, cautioned politicians to steer clear of corruption, adding that in the four states he had superintendend election, “it is opposition that won.”

According to Defwang, INEC was prepared for the 2015 election, adding that all materials including the card reading machines with in-built device to check fake permanent voter card (PVC), double voting and voting by proxy were on ground to check all manner of electoral frauds.

He further disclosed that Benue State had the highest zero polling unit non-collection of PVCs in the country, noting that out of the 3188 polling units in the state, 659 units were yet to collect PVCs. He stated that with the shift in the dates of the elections the commission was ready to distribute all remainder PVCs.

“INEC has the capacity to conduct a free, fair and credible election with the level of our preparation, the new card reader machine will go a long way in fishing out people who are ready to commit fraud during the election.”

He called on the state government to sensitise the people of the state to the urgency to collect their PVCs before the elections.

Professor Defwang also warned that INEC would not accept collection of cards by proxy even as he advised residents to go to the polling units where they registered to collect their cards.

In his remark, governor Suswam assured the state INEC boss that despite provocation by the opposition All Progresives Congress (APC), which he alleged, shot two of its members in Konshisha and Guma local government areas of the state, government and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would provide a peaceful atmosphere for non-violence elections.

He called on the state INEC to embark on more enlightenment on new voting system for a better understanding, especially by rural dwellers.

PoliticsPDP Has Reduced Nigeria To A Global Laughing Stock, Says Oshiomhole by pendy79(op): 5:11pm On Feb 16, 2015
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state says the ruling Peoples Democratic Party at the federal level has reduced Nigeria to a laughing stock in the comity of nations with its ineptitude to provide basic amenities and fight insurgency.

Speaking at two mega rallies of the All Progressives Congress in Edo North and Edo Central, the governor said when the PDP took the reins of governance in 1999, the country had 774 Local Government areas, but as we speak, close to thirty of those local government areas are being controlled by insurgents.

According to him, it is time to ask yourselves: “in 16 years of PDP leadership, what has PDP government produced? For 16 years, they gave us darkness. No light, yet they keep bringing bills. They produced unemployment, our companies have all closed down. If the federal government does not have good industrial policy, unemployment will continue to be here. So PDP brought unemployment. PDP government brought kidnapping to our country. There was no single case of kidnapping before 1999, PDP brought kidnapping,” he stated.

“The most worrisome of them all is that in 1999, PDP Government was handed 774 Local Government Areas and as we speak now, Boko Haram controls about 30 Local Government Areas and if they continue to rule, they will get here. We have the best soldiers in the world, they go to other countries for peace keeping. How come they now say our soldiers are now running from common insurgents? For 16 years, they have not equipped our military.

While urging the people to vote en masse for the APC, Oshiomhole said: “I can give you 100 reasons why we must vote Buhari. It is for our own survival. It goes beyond tribal sentiments. PDP has failed Nigeria. They have reduced Nigeria to a joke. They have shared our companies to themselves. They extorted our unemployed graduates all in the name of scam recruitment exercise. You cannot continue to vote for a party that has lost every sense of responsibility and reduced our country to a huge joke even within the African continent.

“This coming election will be a decisive one. We have a presidential candidate that has courage, a presidential candidate that will fight corruption and you will be counting the casualties. He will not be like those who say they are fighting corruption and nobody is falling.

“General Buhari was a Military Governor and later served as Minister of Petroleum before becoming the Military Head of State and despite having held all these positions, he never amassed public funds to himself to become rich. He is the kind of man Nigerians needs. A man that will fight corruption, instill discipline and ensure that the poor are not cheated.”

He said, “Buhari built Kaduna and Warri refineries. How can they say all our refineries are good and yet we are importing products and because we are importing, that is why petrol and kerosene price have refused to reduce. If our refineries are not working, where will those our children studying Electrical, Petroleum, Chemical and Mechanical Engineering work after graduation? If PDP could not do refinery in 16 years, do you want to give them another chance to fail? That is why Nigeria needs General Buhari.”

The Governor who presented the candidates of the APC vying for various elective positions in the state said, “we need the very best and come day, come night, I can vouch that with them, the development of this area will be sustained.

“These are tested men. With these men, we will bring more development to Edo State. They have experience and with the little opportunity they have had to serve, they reproduced eye-mark projects that can be seen by all. I can assure you that with these candidates, we are in very safe hands.”

Taking a swipe at politicians who defect from one political party to the other when they can’t get nominations, said politics should not be about the individual alone and urged the people to not be deceived into experimenting with such inconsistent characters but rather with the party that has been tested and has brought so much development to Edo State

The Progressives welcome you with open mind and spirit. The Desire to chart a different course for Nigeria should be the collective aspiration of every reasonable Nigerian.

PDP have tried for 16years and yet the same problems we were told they intend to combat are still with us. Obasanjo did it and he performed averagely if one could base his performance on the earnings that accrued to the Federation in his 8years, if not for ANY thing, his DEBT PAYOUT was a lifeline for our bastardized economy then.

GEJ and Yar-Adua had the best prices for Crude since the creation of Nigeria but what can GEJ lay claim to as the HALLMARK of his close to 6years in power?

Let save the Nation and seek a new direction, Buhari and APC are so destined to deliver because the goodwill they enjoy today isn't because of the CHANGE mantra in their CAMPAIGN but the fact that Nigerians are desperately in need of a new DIRECTION.

PoliticsUS To Jonathan: You Lied, We Are Yet To Receive Your Request To Fight Boko Haram by pendy79(op): 11:17pm On Feb 15, 2015
The Pentagon, the United States of America’s military coordinating body, has faulted the claim by President Goodluck Jonathan that Nigeria has applied since early 2014 for assistance to send troops to combat the Boko Haram insurgents.

Rather, Pentagon said over the weekend that discussions on troops to combat the Islamist body was just beginning based on the formation of the Multi National Joint Task Force.

Jonathan had in an interview with the Wall Street Journal said the United States had ignored requests by Nigeria for troops to combat the Boko Haram militants.

He said the country had in early 2014 reached out to the US for assistance, adding: “Are they (America) not fighting ISIS?

“Why can’t they come to Nigeria?

“…they are our friends.

“If Nigeria has a problem, then I expect the US to come and assist us.”

But the Pentagon Press Secretary, Rear Admiral John Kirby, also told the Wall Street Journal that the US was yet to receive an official request for troops from Nigeria.

Kirby said what the US was doing now has been to enter into discussion on how it could participate in the Multi National Joint Task Force with other African nations to assist Nigeria.

Kirby said the task force will be designed to help build up Nigeria’s own counterterrorism capabilities.

He said: “These discussions are really just now starting.

“I can tell you that there are no plans as I speak here… unilaterally to send or to add US troops into Nigeria.”
