midolian: you and I know that until now, elections have always bn massively rigged to favour the incumbent..And the corrupt bigwigs in the society hav always had their way until card readers and PVCs were introduced..
+ GEJ's years of misrule opened our eyes..All thanks to him
Remain blessed. The whole truth and nothing but the truth.
It's now they know the president's aides and family members are not supposed to meddle into the party's affairs? When Mama Peace took over the party structures in the states and also took over presidential campaigns where were they??
I dey laff ooooooooo. Chaiiii, chaiiiii, chaiiiiiiii. Diariz Goduoooooooooooo. How are the mighty fallen tell it not in Gath, reveal it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of Zion rejoice....
Lai Mohammed will be laughing very hard when he reads this. He will say I told them opposition is not a tea party. Chaiiii, TANoids on Nairaland should take note this warning from Metuh extends to them. They are free to decamp to APGA taking the president along if they are not comfortable.
barcanista: APC and lies!!!! They will never change at all....
They have started cloning AIT Staff when High Chief Raymond Dokpesi condemned the Buhari ban.
Whether they like it or not, We shall resist decree 2
Now am seriously scared the real barcanista might have been killed by these desperate and extremely dangerous saTANoids who have a lot to lose by GEJ's loss. The real barcanista wasn't this stupid, stuck to facts and never was frivolous. Don't bother responding because I know anyone with the account can keep impersonating. Am keeping my number 1 suspect close to the heart.
The first 4 pages of this thread is filled with town criers and sore losers. 6 months into the new administration you all will see the ranks of TANoids on this forum will whittle down to only few people from Rivers state and maybe Bayelsa. These elections made me realised we have more reasonable and sensible people from Bayelsa than we have from Rivers. Don't know if this has more to do with the Mama Peace. Reasonable guys from Rivers should bear with me on this and the unreasonable ones are free to quote me. Gradually sanity will return to Nairaland especially as stipends from Reno Omogri, the cunning Wendel Simlin have ceased since April 1st.
mcquin: Nah bro those modafvckers don't need no integration. They need to continuously be marginalised in naija's politics till they grow sense. Even though they are a major ethnic group, they should be marginalised. The Edos, Deltans and Mid-belt deserve more after all the same Igbos say they don't need govt, only business; yes business they have it, so don't give them more.
Igbos want a person that will come begging and licking their ass all day. I heard someone say he'll vote GEJ a million times; I think election for chief-priest in Otuoke is on, he should go vote GEJ there.
The best and fastest way to making anyone "grow sense" is to overtly being nice to them even when they don't understand. Nigerians has tried alienation for 44 years it hasn't worked.
GEJ should be prosecuted for war crimes and mass murder on account of abdication of duty. 27 days is like eternity at the moment. This is the slowest 2 months the world has ever recorded.
efilefun: Yesterday when i said we should be actually worried about the number of kidnapped girls and not just focus on the chibok girls that had been gone for a year cuz of some people just decide to neglect their jobs and play politics with it, some e-rats were spewing trash around. Just try calculating how many people had been rescued so far and you see how much this outgoing administration had failed woefully in securing the lives of its citizens. I wonder how Jonathan believes he was still going to get votes from that part of Nigeria after neglecting them. Even the 200 thousand votes recorded for GEJ is kano is surely from the under-aged voters and those who were paid to do so.
God bless Nigeria and i hope all those kidnapped will return to their family safely.
You are nothing but a pained loser, you need to get your life together before you "kick the bucket" cuz of hatred. If you are wise enough or you have been using your brain properly why havent you asked your Government why none of all the arrested BH members have been tortured to confess just one of their sponsors This your same GEJ during the May 1st bomb blast in Abuja said it wasnt MEND who carried out the operation cuz they were solidly behind him then, fast forward to 2015 and he's crying around that they wanted him dead.
The simple fact is that GEJ or the person in his government sponsoring them aint ready to spend any dime again in feeding those girls thats why they are being returned home. watched a clip on here earlier and i saw the insurgence running away, which actually reminded of of GEJ's statement when he was being asked about BH on CNN or so, he said they will run out of the country to maybe neighboring countries and we all seeing that happen right now.
I have it on good authority the guy you quoted last is mentally deranged and wretched. A TANoid on this forum told me.
Gbawe: Dr.Ikedife has nothing to fear. Buhari is a fair and principled man. There is nothing in his character that would allow him to marginalise or mistreat any ethnic group . In fact I suspect Buhari will be especially good to the Igbos because the General realises that old wounds must heal if Nigeria is to get the best out of all her citizens.
The truth is that Igbos can become very fond of and supportive of Buhari, despite their electoral rejection of him, if the General leads all corners of Nigeria well and assist the completion of projects important to the Igbos that the cynical and self-serving GEJ never bothered with. I think Buhari will actually go out of his way to respect and assist Igbos. I would personally, if president, because leaders must always rise above shallow sentiments to unite those they lead and foster the development of reconciliation, inclusion and peaceful coexistence that delivers socio-economic development Of a people. A Nigeria consisting of ethnic groups primed to fight and resist each other always is not good for the prospect of a great Nigeria.
Well said. If I were Buhari I will give the Igbos whatever they have been denied since the civil war and re-integrate them properly into Nigeria.
omonnakoda: They are called briefs and they are very much around.
It is not childish it is just out of fashion NOW in some groups/countries but are still very popular in some groups and countries. Arguably at the time when it was fashionable in Nigeria men were harder and more manly.
As we all know fashion often turns full circle so it could make a comeback in Nigeria.
I last wore boxers maybe 15years ago. Can't do without briefs. There are too many cool and expensive briefs in stores to be going with boxers. As a matter of fact briefs is the vogue around fashion cities in the world and am not even talking about white briefs.
Lopsided PVC distribution; Use of under aged voters; Non usage of card readers in many areas;
Those are the ones i can remember
Underage voters could have voted for the loser in the north. have you thought about that? He got some good votes there compared to Buhari in the south. Majority of places card readers were not used are in the south. It's only in the south and southeast results tweeted on social media did not tally with final announcements. Honestly, I think PDP must be taking Nigerians long time foolishness for granted if they continue to cry this foul and conspiracy thing. If I were APC I will still challenge the results in court and you will be surprised that 12M will be reduced to 5M. PDP is so greedy to the extent they rig even in places they are sure of 100% votes. Tufiakwa! Nigerians need to do a big thanksgiving for doing away with this party.
Now you watch and enjoy this video of a senior PDP chieftain in Delta state Chief Ighoyota Amori confess with pride how they rig elections. Exactly what have been happening since 1999 in the south and southeast.
Modified:This same man has just been elected into the Senate to represent the Urhobo ethnic nationality. The contents of this tape alone should send him packing a week after swearing in.
eg Linda Ikeji and Stella Dimogogus. But seriously am just wondering how many beatings Linda received when she was growing up on account of gossips. That girl na Professor in Aproko.
voltron: @OP this is very useful. however tell-tale signs that you have bought a fake perfume are usually 2 things for me.
1: The Quality of the Cellophane Wrapping - Fake perfumes have these crackling cellophane that has creases and folds when squeezed. The cellophane on the Real McCoys are of a softer quality and they retain their shape to a degree when squeezed.
2: Poor French or English text with foolish grammatical errors in composition and speling. No Perfume house will make such a silly mistake
This has helped me massively - also check FragranceNet DOT COM for images and descriptions of perfumes.
Better yet, order your perfumes direct from Amazon or Essenza, Montainge Place. reputable shops
Please be careful. There are loads of fake products on Amazon and eBay. You have to be used to using the sites before knowing who and who to buy from. Having said this anyone who wants to sell a perfume you already knows costs up to N40000 for N25000 is surely a fake seller. The price most times tells a lot. Fake perfs are everywhere around the world, even in the best malls. I suffered a lot as an addicted online buyer before I got some skills. Still no one is 100% immuned from buying a fake once in a while.
Billyonaire: We will provide a formidable opposition, as should be to the retards that have found their way to Aso Rock through rigging aided by Jega. We are waiting for May 29. Make no mistakes, it will NOT be emotional, it will be the most tacit, evidential and factual opposition in the history of Nigeria. Because we are more educated, more experienced and more matured-minded.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. All hail the newest children of multiple anger in town, Towncriers I of Africa.
hamilton62: You doubt the credibility of the soldiers and you expect me to concur with Aljazera? No! I won't. They were accredited by INEC, yes. For the activities of the military on the insurgent at sensitive places or Electoral activity?
Hahahahahah... Cooked lies can never be a truth. Remember, the soldiers tailed them for long before the hotel-room arrest. Why didn't CNN, Channels find themselves in surge discord with the soldiers? The truth is that you have no confidence in the soldiers so nothing I say will be affirmed by you but I want other readers to sincerely answer the questions above and they will know who is telling the truth. The earlier we start running away from all these foreigner's easy meddling with our activities like they are we, the better we thrive as a country.
I hope you are aware that the two journalists are Nigerians working for Aljazeera? What is the Nigerian army hiding? Why were they kept for 10 days?? Why wait for a legal threat and uproar before releasing them? The truth remains the Nigerian government clamped down and denied two of her citizens fundamental human rights for a whole 10 days because they work for a foreign media house who obviously they don't want to cover the elections.
hamilton62: Is Aljazera Nigeria media that the should step into the country and in very sensitive areas without clearance? My brother, they even know that... The sovereignty of any country is respected and things done the rightful way, even military does talk more of media when it concerns another country... Remember, AIT is indigenous just as FOX that lambasted Obama. Sent AIT to America or Aljazera to America without due clearance. I stand to analyze all these as a true Nigerian without being baised. If anyone errs, say it or don't ever complain about any ill in this country when it affects you. If it were GMB will Aljazera journalist been released by now? It's insulting to Nigeria from Aljazera... How will you feel about a 3rd party try to know what's happening in your family without your approval as a man? Was BBC not in Nigeria covering Nigeria electoral activities even before time and why weren't they arrested? Let's argue because we want Nigeria to go forward and not partisan actions. Thanks.
And you expect me to believe the Nigerian Army and the government with all their antecedents of lies and deceit since the issue of insurgence and Chibok girls started? Now you fault these reports below..Tell me if these two guys just wondered from nowhere to Borno state to be detained for 10 days! How long does it take in resolving such issues giving all the hullabaloo about it?
Two Al Jazeera journalists covering the upcoming Nigerian presidential elections have been detained by government forces in the city of Maiduguri in Borno state. Ahmed Idris and Ali Mustafa, both Nigerian nationals, remain confined in their hotel room and their equipment confiscated after being questioned by the military officials on Tuesday. The Nigerian military has said that the journalists were operating without "protection, accreditation or due clearance", and confirmed that the two journalists remain officially detained until further notice. The two journalists were detained while reporting on the Nigerian forces fighting armed group Boko Haram as part of Al Jazeera's special coverage on the upcoming elections. Al Jazeera has demanded the release of two of its journalists "without conditions". The network said that both Idris and Mustafa are officially accredited by the Independent Electoral Commission in Abuja with the clearance to report from anywhere in Nigeria during the entire election period. "We call on the Nigerian authorities to release Ahmed Idris and Ali Mustafa; they have all the relevant paperwork to report on the Nigerian elections and stories related to the election", an Al Jazeera spokesman said in a statement on Wednesday. "Both men had just finished filming a story on the military with their cooperation. Both men are accredited and respected Nigerian journalists", the statement read. The military statement also said that both men were said to be 'loitering' in various locations, however they were actually detained in their hotel rooms. Their detainment drew condemnation from the Committee to Protect Journalists. "Nigerian authorities and the military should understand that the credibility of the election is dependent in large part on the media, both local and foreign, being allowed to report freely," said Peter Nkanga, CPJ's West Africa representative. "We call on the military to release Ahmed Idris and Mustafa Ali from their hotel, return their camera, and allow every journalist the freedom to document the electoral process before, during, and after the vote."
After spending 10 days in house of arrest in their hotel room, the two Al Jazeera journalists, detained by the Nigerian military for allegedly loitering around areas of operations, regained their freedom in the early hours of Saturday.
The release of the two journalists, Ahmed Idris and Ali Mustapha, who had been detained in Maiduguri, Borno State, was said to have been ordered by the military.
It would be recalled that the Defence Headquarters spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, had in a statement, claimed that the duo were moving around restricted areas in Yobe and Borno states without accreditation.
Subsequently, the two journalists sued the Nigerian Army challenging their detention, an action which had been condemned by Nigerian and international civic groups.
They were represented by Lagos-based legal practitioner and human rights activists, Femi Falana.
Falana, however, sought a declaration that the arrest and detention by the military were illegal, unconstitutional, and violated their right to personal liberty guaranteed by Section 34, 35 and 41 of the constitution and Article 5, 6 and 12 of the African Charter on Human and peoples’ Right Act.
He also sought an order directing the military and the Chief of Army Staff, Kenneth Minimah, to release the journalists from military custody immediately.
It is believed that the decision of the journalists to approach the court was responsible for their release.
Following the detention of these journalists, the management of Al Jazeera demanded their immediate release, claiming they had full accreditation from the Nigerian authorities.
Now as a citizen, I will be more concerned about what the Nigerian authorities were hiding judging from their antecedents of lying to their own citizens especially when this was during a very important election. Why do they have to be detained for 10 days in a hotel? Sinister motives?? When you break trust don't blame people when they lose total faith in you.
Ilekeh: Sorry o. The only way to beat Buhari si to drink poison. Crying won't help.
Ilekeh, please take it easy on this young man. Don't be this cruel. He once brought the TANoids to their knees on this forum in a way he can never do associating with them because he dropped no sweat doing it. Please let him be, this country is very hard and you can't really fault these hustling youths. It have do ejoo.
politricks: I hate to say this but i think some people are architect of their misfortune because i see know reason smuggling drugs into asia when you know its automatic death if caught. If they were caught there and sentenced to death, we would start saying their law is barbaric. All i know is, i will make it in Nigeria by the grace of GOD. Kudos to NDLEA for this.
The NDLEA will continue to arrest people trafficking drugs to these death sentence countries as long as the situation back home remains the same. The situation am referring to here is the value system. As long as we continue to see people who make it big and we elevate them to high status regardless of how these monies are made, hustlers will not stop hustling. In Nigeria of today average working class people are not recognized or accorded respect because they are not driving G-Wagons and living in Banana islands. Erstwhile poor guys find their way into government and automatically turn to decision makers in their community, building hotels and posh estates with big cars whilst the people call them dons. Now one will be tempted to ask about the many who stay back to hustle genuinely but we need to understand not everyone have the mental capacity to compete in an imbalanced society like ours. Until we fix this country in all spheres expect more Nigerians on the waiting list of executions in these countries.
hamilton62: Sincerely are you sane? I asked a question, because the above is telling me that you don't understand what democracy is. Before you misunderstand and start cursing because that seems the norm here nowadays: my question has only 2 types of Answers (Yes or No) anything more than 1 of the answers shows that you didn't even understand the thread talk more of quoting others. Thanks.
Were we in a dictatorship when newspapers were seized and Aljazeera reporters locked up for days while GEJ looked the other way as if he is no longer the president? You guys have seen proofs of giants of democracy worldwide do similar stuffs to media houses who didn't do a quarter of what GMB and his team did. Who told you guys freedom of press do not come with rules and repercussions? Did Buhari proscribe AIT as president elect? Fact is PDP and their sympathisers are just looking for every means of giving a bad name to a government that has never been. Like I have said earlier the PDP is going to die a natural death when this same government who they want to terminate before the embryo starts dishing out how a sane government should be in a developing world. Till then you guys should enjoy your new status as children of multiple anger.
anonimi: Did you wonder about the fights Fayemi & his wife had in the multi-billion naira bedroom of Ekiti state house also
Anonimi, how can you be comparing nights and days na? Let me help you for friends' sake.
Fayemi's wife = Very responsible elitist woman. GEJ's wife = Agbero market woman. No arguments, even many PDP people now know this.
Fayemi = Well informed, educated, calculative, refined, exposed, responsible gentleman. GEJ = Please help me complete it, your inner mind knows it more than I do.
Please do better next time in your analysis and comparisons. If this was a job interview you would not only have failed but interviewers would have made sure you don't get a job elsewhere for a long time until everyone is sure your IQ has improved.
We all know the PDP is so jittery about the intentions of the APC. Right from the presidential primaries of the APC till throughout the campaigns they have seen a very organized set up devoid of all their acts since 1999. The moves GMB has taken since after the elections and his body language puts them in a panic mode. I bet you they are so scared the APC will make Nigerians forget any party like PDP ever existed. But the deed was already done March 28th.
Am just imagining the kind of bedroom fights Mama Peace and president Jonathan will be having since the announcements of the results. I know she must have called him worse names than any Nigerian has ever given him. I don't even want to mention. That speech of yesterday was meant to regain some lost grounds with Mama Peace. On the other hand the president must have quarreled her she caused more than half of the problems which to me is very true. Chaii, the remnants of Aso Rock rent seekers go don separate fight tire.
SuperSuave: I didn't read the thrash cos I know its full of hate speech. That man is a doubting Thomas, he still doesn't believe change is here, well he shall see it with his own eyes oniranu oshi
Mr Bruce has some very nice points up there. He was not economical with the truth and never massaged his party ego. In fact in my opinion he took them to the cleaners. If GMB goes with this mindset he is sure going to achieve a lot. My only indifference is where he talked about probing his predecessors. If he believes GMB should just forget all that happened it will not augur well for criminal justice system and the culture of impunity that has gotten us to this place. Yet I do not support any form of witch hunting either. If he wants to probe it should be across board, whether PDP or APC. Any attempt for him to look into PDP and turn a blind eye to the APC is already an invitation to failure. For me, as a 73yr old man he has nothing and no political future to lose. This is his chance to give Nigerians the country of their dreams irrespective of whose ox is gored. I never voted nor believed in GEJ in 2011 maybe because of what I see in his party but when he entered I had some hope that he could bring some change damning all cabals that have taken us to this pitiable state. But, alas he faltered, joined them and become one of the oppressors.
