Koro is not defecting to the APC as the party is not even willing to accept him in its fold just like Alao Akala was rejected.

Koro will ultimately go to Labour Party to pursue his truncated ticket ambition under the PDP.

Koro or the PDP has no value in Lagos only delusional fools will believe a Jimi Agbaje will win the lagos poll.we heard much more than this in 2007.

Ambode is the real deal and lagos will never go.PDP for ages to come.

Even the gods and God have sanctioned Buhari the people's general.

The primaries in lagos is not just for fluke, it has been ordained and sanctified.

Go ye Buhari into Aso Rock and safe Nigeria from total annihilation and destruction by a clueless and corruption loving czar.

Make Kashamu come collect him award and leftover properties he forgot for US embassy for Abuja na.

We have brought them closer home for him.

----US Ambassador to Nigeria.

please stop saying Ibikunle Amosun is the best governor Ogun state ever had. E no best anything. The people that actually don't live in Ogun state definitively don't feel so.

Im not the one saying it, it is the physical reality on the ground that says so. I'm sure in your books Gbenga Daniel is the best, who in his senses will not marvel at the transformation in Shagamu, Abeokuta. Ijebu ode, sango ota to idiroko.

EldaTimba:
Did you just say Fayemi is the best governor Ekiti have ever produce? Watch your tongue and face your lagos! Don't let me massacre you for this blatant lie

Mention the better governor than Fayemi? If the whole populace of Ekiti agreed he has done more than any governor but they only felt his style of governance is aloof and his policies not reconsideration with the poor attitude to work of civil servants and teachers who don't want to be tested for competency.

Only a dundee with cotton wool in his brains will not see what Fayemi did in Ekiti.

He's still around months after leaving the state house expected Fayose to have ordered the EFCC and ICPC onto him since we were told he stole and stole billions that were not even in the state coffers.

Funny the insincere9gerian who created the thread isn't worried about his igbo landlocked enclave of enugu which has produced 2 gubernatorial candidate for 1 party ticket but having sleepless night over Tinubu's cronies in Lagos.

Case of a mad man holding touch for another while his own house is on fire.

Who are Tinubu's cromies, let's take the whole south west in a bit.

ibikunle Amosun- the best governor since bisi onabanjo in ogun state.

Rauf Aregbesola - the best governor that ever ruled Osun state in terms of physical infrastructure.

kayode Fayemi - the best governor Ekiti ever had.

Raji Fashola - even Jakande agreed Fashola have eclipsed his administration.


Then let's add Edo state - Edo has never had it this good since Ambrose Alli.

So who in his right senses will want to do away with this perfect manager of men and decide to go with ex convicts, rogues, murderers and failures per excellence that the PDP represents. It is clear stupidity runs supreme in the body of people who supports the da.ft one.

OP you should be worried about events in your alaigbo, 9 senatorial candidates for 3 tickets in Anambra senate race, 2 gubernatorial candidates in Enugu, Theodore the worst getting a ticket to the senate yet he has manipulated the system to produce a useless successor.

When will people find time to worry over their own plight instead of taking panadol for another person's headache.

golddeejay:
"so many questions and yet no answers"....that summarises the level of corruption that has bedeviled dis country for that last 5 yrs or so. Yet many nigerians are blinded by religion or ethnicity or simply preferred to look the other way because of their affiliations. I always feel touched talking abt nigeria...we are so blessed yet we r so poor. Our generation is clearly no better but pple like u give me hope of a better nigeria...if most youth are asking the right questions, we will get there faster

#betternigeria

I pray bro, reading comments and posting by pro PDP goons on this forum scares the living daylight outta me.

People celebrating and seeing nothing wrong in daylight robbery of their tomorrow and commonwealth and even insulting and trying to bully anyone who.does not share such crazy opinion with them.

All that matter to them is nepotism, ethnic and religious bigotry. Scared for Nigeria and its people.

You mean the more crafty and more resourceful.

Expect guns and bombs soon

Firefire:
paddy paddy looking for sad news in PDP... na only you waka go see am abi. continue...

Tot you were waiting for Fashola to decamp to PDP and the APC to implode.


Hahahaha be careful what you wish for, I just love the shenanigans and the comedy going on.

Make una just implode N not explode o. We don't want bullets and bombs flying all over place.

Na now wey Patrick Azazi comment on how Boko Haram was formed begin to make sense.

Senator Ayogu Eze N Hon. Ifeanyi ugwuanyi were both declared winners of the PDP Gubernatorial primaries in Enugu State, both were declared winners in parallel primaries conducted in different locations in the state.

The scenario seems similar like the case of 9 senatorial candidates for 3 zones in Anambra state.

Won't you just love the drama in the PDP? This is the party predicting implosion in another party. Lollllzz

Source: NTA news at 9

modhream:
Easy ride for Ernest Ndukwe.
May such confusion continually be the lot of PDP in Anambra state.

Lolzz, it is a serious funny.scenario

Laughter, intrigue and clear lack of coordination in the PDP in Anambra State.

2 primaries took place in Anambra and another set of candidates emerged in Abuja.

Stella Oduah was said to.have won Anambra North senatorial ticket under the PDP but same ticket was also won by Mrs margary Okadigbo and the Abuja primary produced another.

Anambra south is the funniest with the Uba brothers declared winners for same ticket, Andy Uba won.in one primary and Chris Uba returned winner in the other primary.

Annie okonkwo and uche ekwunife won different primaries for same ticket in the Anambra Central senatorial ticket.

Funny we were told APC will implode last year April, then.they shifted their prediction to the 1st National convention when that still didn't happen they said when the Primaries of the APC holds the Party will go into.factions but yet their prediction is manifesting in their household.

Won't you just love the APC after we pursued Tom Ikimi and Ali modu Sheriff from our party, there have been so much peace, cohesion and brotherliness in the APC.

Hmmmm Sai APC 2015.

tit:
i is not a youth.
i is a mother of three.
i am not yar mate.

the coordinating minister of the economy does not tell that senile old man in charge of nepa which powerplants to build.
she does not tell slowpoke that he needs to build new, better fortified prisons to keep the general public safe from fools like you.
but if nebor and slowpoke come up with plans to build mambilla hydro plant and 40 new maximum security prisons, the coordinating minister can advise of a schedule for financing such plans.
Datzall.
Even the Master of Shinanju cannot turn pig's ear into gold!

I pray they don't grow up da.ft and brainless like you.

Madam minister of finance is like a TREASURER.

shaqhead:
Pendy forget ds tit gurl (dts if shes one). C dt smile on her profile...e no remind u of som1? Aha u get it...na only teeth she get

Na wa o. If the minister of finance is like a TREASURER, What do we call the CBN Governor?

tit:
you are a real mugun and caseless too.
the minister of finance is like a treasurer.
she collects your money and keeps it for you till you needs it.
she does not do magic and multiply your money.
she does not have to take your money to any wonder bank.
all she has to do is
1) collect your money,
2) keep it safe and
3) when you want to buy say shoes, she gives you money to buy the shoes!

she is not responsible for your sources of money. if nigeria had no oil, no finance minister would by magic develop oil to fund the treasury.
she is not responsible for resource allocation. that decision is made by national planning minister as well others responsible for rolling national development plan.
the finance minister only tells them if there is enough money to realise their grandiose plans to reach the moon in two weeks!

to say that obj fought corruption is the most caseless thing i ever heard.
what else will you say?
Obj did Operation Feed the Nation?
yes, with food for thought, not inyoo and ewedu.

The minister of finance and co-ordinating minister of the economy is like a TREASURER?

Did someone just wrote this? Huhhh.

Nigeria is in deep mess and crisis with youths who reason and talk like this openly.

Can the government tell Nigerians where the unprecedented oil earnings in 5years went to?

The Governors Forum lamenting about shortfall in Allocation to states yet no fall in price of crude then all FG said was oil theft and bunkering is affecting output, yet Tompolo's Global west is earning 5.6billion monthly monitoring the water ways , Asari Dokubo too is collecting pipeline security contract N building University in Benin republic with his own share. Yet oil theft and bunkering has never been this massive until GEJ. imagine the Nigerian Navy earning the close to 8billion naira this two ex militants monthly and what the Navy would have achieved.

Sovereign wealth fund has just $1bn investment since last year we have no heard return on investment on it till date,

If the money is not in our road network, in power generation anD distribution, in increase salaries for civil servants, in bigger revenue sharing formulae to the states AMD local governments, in the foreign reserves, in the sovereign wealth fund she established, in industrial and rapid urbanization of the country etc, pls where is the monies that accrued to the Federation if our economy could be this jolted in just few weeks of oil price slump.

Naira didn't rise when crude oil was selling for 166$/barrel but crashed by more 30% in just 2months of oil slump . Forget the N168 to 1$ mentioned by the CBN governor he is just hallucinating, 1$ is trading as high as 191N as at yesterday .

Where did the monies go?

Firefire:
Cleverly, we got a thread on Nairaland of all past and present criminal of international dimensions been paraded in your APC coven.

1. Bola Ahmed Tinubu

2. Adeyemi Ikuforiji

I added the link for your kind reference.

https://www.nairaland.com/2032373/many-nigerian-leaders-criminals-foreign#28654315

Tinubu was discharged and acquitted by the Code of Conduct bureau after he was charged.

Ikuforiji was discharged, acquited N EFCC ordered to pay him. The judge even went further to ask the sanity of the person who even brought up the case in the first place for bringing a no case prosecution and wasting the time of the court.

Try some other names, those two were tried and are free and declared innocent.

Mr seun asking for video clip of buhari's interview omenka, donphilous, berem, pendy79 and other progressives, you guys should watch out cos it seem our oga is repenting small small but ..............................

Lolzzzz, he wants to confirm the misinformation being spread by the PDP goons.

Forget anything about repentance, this site is on lockdown by the agents of the da.ft one

ellistmedia:
APC is the only party were big names are not respected but what you can offer Nigerians. Leadership qualities should be yardsticks for selection who to lead.

The APC primaries nationwide have proven that there is still hope for sane Nigerians.

It is just an indicator that the primaries was open, free and fair, devoid of any manipulation and imposition. I duff my cap to the Asiwaju who promised to abide by the directive of the Party HIERARCHY.

This year's primaries is the best conducted by the opposition since 1999 and it has endeared me more to.the party.

Those who would have been planning on becoming principal officers of the National Assembly voluntary step aside to allow others and big names failing to pick their tickets for re-election. Why won't the people vote them into power since it is the peoples choice that were allowed to run.

So glad for my party.

They are only helping emperor daft fulfill his dream.

His prosecutor found he had an opportunity to make a lot of money from him so he decided to take omisore on a long journey of deceit.

Really pity the sore loserr

vivalavida:
A bomb exploded in grand central mosque kano. A state that wasnt under emergency rule. The governor who wasnt even @ the mosque resigned because the bombing took place in a state where he is the chief security officer. That is called taking responsibility.

Hope u love this?

I tot you were reasonable and sane but on reading the above, i realize your brain was replaced with fura .

guess the Governor is the Commander in Chief of Kano State Armed Forces?
The appointing officer who gives and command the IG of Police, Oversee the DSS, NIA, NSCDC even boys scout and man'o war are under the Governor.

you guys will just come up with stupid statements without even thinking twice. use your brains at times na

vivalavida:
Boko haram knw what they want. They are political in their bombing. If they really want to hasten the division of this country,they should go and do dat dia suicide bombing @onitsha or aba. This country will just go up in flames cuz the retaliatory killings of notherners dat will take place in da east will be unprecedented.
If they explode a bomb in the west,the cowards will just hide under the brown roofs or they will all run to hide @olumo rock. Lol. Yorubas ehnnnn

Did a search on Goggle with the phrase '' the most stupid TRIBE on Earth'' guess the answer i got IGBOs with bolded fonts.

How many Hausas are in the East compared to Igbos in the North? your tribesmen are the most used practise for learning the ACT OF SLAUTHERING in the North yet you will remain online in Lagos and be typing idiotic sentenses.

This was the way your people foolishly started an unneccesary war in 1967 before your chestbeating stupid hero ran away to cote d'ivoire leaving your forefathers and mothers to bear the pain and anguish of hunger, rape, diseases and poverty still ravaging your homes up till date that you all cannot find prosperity in your landlocked hellholes.

Yorubas are cowards yet they never lost any inter-tribal wars, yet your forefathers were used as TARGET PRACTISE and your Mothers as NIGHTTIME BEDWARMERS for the ravaging and ruthless boys of the great BLACK SCORPION. were you people not properly taught the lessons of 1967-1970 that you have not learn to keep your shame under your cloths but to continue talking rubbish.

you're just a perfect example of a self denying idi.ot that reflects the name he call others.

Omisore losing even with his own prosecution witness. when your expert is making collousal mistakes and eating his words then you know you have no case but to ask for your money back.

Guy need to go open a corn factory and leave politics, The disgrace ife students do him and his contract loving ooni go be small thing to the embarassment coming his way soon

Na wa oh, my deepest condolences to wike and residence jonaTAN, February 2015 will forever be a bad day for the party PDP, the day there was tears and wailings in a compound in otuoke and another in one ikwerre village.

loserfool

where is safe to keep money in Nigeria?

you keep at home, robbers will come visiting
you keep in the bank, bank managers start growing ideas with your saved earnings.

Nigeria need to make scapegoat of some peeps.

there is need to make sure people know CORRUPTION IS STEALING.

monemsis:
We know ourselves jare

you dey the cabal wey the share our money ba. Buhari is coming soon. watch out for Part 2 soon

A case of a hopeless Nation governed by those with access to the Guns and Bombs, they dictate the direction the Nation should head while our lameduck president patronize and empty the treasury of the Nation into their pockets.

God will keep Nigeria until May 29, 2015 when this simpleton of a President is swept aside for a real and focused Leader who really knows what it means to be the Head of a country.

Nigeria has never been held captive the way it has since 2010 under residence jonaTAN. We really need him out of Aso Rock. A President who obeys the command of a Militant does not deserve been referred to as one.

As the Islamist group Boko Haram intensifies attacks in northern Nigeria, former militants in the Niger River delta who once cut oil production by almost a third have become some of the government’s biggest supporters.

Militant commanders like Government Ekpemupolo have gone from targeting Nigeria’s oil industry, riding around in speed boats with automatic weapons and explosives, to protecting it. He now runs the Global West Specialist Ltd. security company that has a $115 million contract with the National Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.

Ekpemupolo is one of a group of former militants, including Ebikabowei Victor Ben and Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, who are prospering under the rule of President Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s first leader from the region that’s the heart of Africa’s biggest oil industry. They form the backbone of support for Jonathan, 57, in the area as he seeks re-election in February, and have vowed to resist attempts by some opposition lawmakers to impeach him.

“We know what they’re doing and we’re watching them,” Reuben Wilson, a former militant and president of the Peace and Cultural Development Initiative lobby group for ex-combatants, said in a Nov. 22 e-mailed statement. “They should not push us to the wall, because if they do, we shall react.”

Before Jonathan announced he would seek re-election, Dokubo-Asari, the former leader of the militant group, the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force, told Lagos-based Silver Bird Television that if the president didn’t run for another term, he’d be barred from ever returning to the Niger delta.

Persistent Poverty

Dokubo-Asari currently runs a school in neighboring country of Benin, to teach former combatants skills useful in the oil industry such as welding and diving, while Ben is the chairman of the Centre for Youth Development in Bayelsa state. He has contracts with the government to help ex-fighters find jobs and monitor pipelines.

For ordinary residents of the region, where more than 50 percent of the population lives in poverty, according to data published by the National Bureau of Statistics, the benefits of having a native son in the top office are less clear.

When Jonathan took power five years ago, the Aleibiri community expected that its decade-old spill disaster would at last get the government’s attention. A ruptured pipeline operated by Royal Dutch Shell Plc in 1997 left farms and streams coated by an oil slick. The Aleibiri spill is one of 2,744 oil pollution locations in the delta region that haven’t been cleaned up, according to Abuja-based National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency.

Government Action

“Jonathan is our son from this area, who understands our pains,” Obudu Obuka, a 51-year-old fisherman who lost farms and fishing areas to the slick, said as he sat under a tree in front of his mud-brick home, sorting tangled nets. “So we expected some urgent action to rescue us from our situation. But so far we have seen nothing.”

Jonathan’s spokesman, Reuben Abati, said he would send a response when contacted for comments. He didn’t answer four subsequent phone calls or respond to e-mail and text messages.

“I think the Niger delta has been more or less neglected,” Bismarck Rewane, chief executive officer of Financial Derivatives Co., a Lagos-based risk advisory company, said by phone. “Maybe strategically he’s focusing on other parts of the country so he wouldn’t be accused of favoring his own part.”

Petroleum Bill

As soon as the attacks eased in the Niger delta, the Islamist militant group Boko Haram started a campaign in the north of the country to impose Islamic law. Jonathan, who imposed a state of emergency in three northeastern states last year, said the group has killed 13,000 people since 2009.

In the delta, government action has been slow. Jonathan inherited an industry-reform bill first sent to lawmakers by his predecessor, Umaru Yar’Adua, that sought to change the way oil and gas investments are funded and regulated to give Nigeria a greater share of profits.

International energy companies oppose the bill’s proposals for higher taxes and royalties, while lawmakers from the north, where there isn’t oil output, reject its provisions to give a share of oil investments to the local communities.

The failure to pass the bill over the past six years has created a climate of regulatory uncertainty that has seen oil exploration activities drop to the lowest in more than a decade. Oil reserves have fallen to just below 32 billion barrels from 37 billion barrels over the period, according to figures released by the Petroleum Ministry.

Budget Cuts

Brent crude, which compares with Nigeria’s Bonny light oil, traded at $70.75 per barrel as of 7:22 a.m. in London, down 36 percent this year. That’s helped to weaken the naira 9.3 percent this quarter and force Jonathan’s administration to cuts its budget next year. Petroleum accounts for for more than 70 percent of government revenue and 95 percent of foreign-exchange income.

In the past four years, Shell, the oldest and biggest operator, has sold off most of its onshore oil assets in Nigeria, closing its entire western division that was run out of the city of Warri and shipped crude through the Forcados export terminal. Most of the buyers have been Nigerian-owned companies, such as Seplat Petroleum Plc (SEPL), First Hydrocarbon Ltd., Shoreline Natural Resources Ltd. and Neconde Energy Ltd.

Nigerian Companies

From accounting for less than five percent of Nigeria’s output a decade ago, indigenous companies are expected “to own almost 25 percent of total production” by the end of the first half of next year, according to Dolapo Oni, head of energy research at Lagos-based Ecobank Research.

While local residents bemoan the lack of development in the region and failure to clean up pollution sites, the former militants remain steadfast in their support of Jonathan.

“Mr. President, continue the good work, don’t be distracted,” Ben, the former militant commander also known as General Boyloaf, said in a full-page notice in ThisDay newspaper on Nov. 14, three days after Jonathan declared that he would seek re-election. “Our support for you is unalloyed and total.”
