ilugunboy:
The option of an Igbo Senate leader is foreclosed....

There is a limit to which you play bad and self destructive politics with your best men....like it was done to Ngige in Anambra.

If Ngige won the people support he would have won. Even as I disagree with the insinuation that he was the 'best man', best men do always win election, otherwise the unlettered bigot Buhari wouldn't have been president in a country of highly educated and intelligent people. So please forget that best man tales! Beside best men don't make deals in Okija Shrine!

MzJackBaueress:
. Tambuwal was a PDP man as a speaker but defected at the dying minute and still remained speaker. You cannot compare the time he was in PDP to the time he was in APC as speaker. If he had defected in his early years as speaker,he would have been impeached.
There is no way a minority will become either the senate or speaker. That's the fact!

So as an APC minority he was allowed to remain Speaker in a PDP majority house? True or false?

tollu:
This sounds false.

APC excos are not lunatics and would never try that so let's not waste our time arguing back and forth.

I'd like a senate president from the SE too. Perhaps a sensible one currently in the PDP can be persuaded to decamp.

No PDP nonsense senate president though. They have done enough.

Why must he decamp if he's sensible? Does staying in PDP undermine his intelligence or his people's support?

DukeNija:
This your hate will make you run mad.

Abeg tell am!

ghost1718:
miss, i dont no oh

No body; but it doesn't matter to us.

It's Buhari and APC head-ache now how they can successfully and effectively exclude SE/SS from governance and enjoy peace.

MzJackBaueress:
I disagree with you. There is no way an Igbo PDP senator will produce the senate president. An igbo man was neither the senate president nor speaker in Jonathan's administration even when PDP was the majority.
The only option for an Igbo senate president is for some senators from SE to decamp to APC. That might not even be possible too.

How about Tambuwal who decamped as Speaker to APC? Was he not a Speaker then from Minority party? Is that not a precedence?

Ymodulus:
I can see anger written all over you. Mr pointB get it, NEVER WILL AN IGBO MAN be SENATE PRESIDENT. If you some like my comment go and die

Lol,

Anger? You should see my face now. It's actually shining brightly with a smile.

You clowns don't know what you are in for. Give it to Saraki, Remi or whoever you wish and leave out the SE/SE and let's see how you run to market with. I dey laff oo.

emmatok:
The Senate president is coming from Edo state.

No Igbo PDP senator is getting anything from the APC house.

Edo right? Even when APC Party chairman is Edo? I laff in Japanese!

Like I said, it's APC and Buhari's headache, let me see how you clowns handle this landmine!

Ymodulus:
Never Igbos sold their right already.

Never will an ihbo man be there. Never never never

My friend sharrap.

This is 2015, you think we'll close our eyes and watch you people continue to plunder our oil for your benefit? If you lots know what's good for you, you'll understand that winner takes all is simply a recipe for disaster.

We proudly support GEJ, and given the chance, we'll do it again!

Now if you think Igbos should be punished for their principled stand, you have another think coming...

ghost1718:
for peace to rain let them put igbo man or south south as senate PRESIDENT, because if they (a.p.c)put yoruba or hausa man, they will bring problem to this country

Yes oo.

It is their head-ache.

Wondering how they will look Rochas and Ameachi in the face, and tell them that winner takes all.

TCD:
God forbid bad thing. Tufiakwa. A PDP SENATOR become senate president in a house controlled by APC.

The south east should have voted for change yet they stuck to voting PDP idiots like T.A orji who have nothing to offer. It's their loss if they don't have an APC senator. It will go to the next available region.

You want to do winner take all? We'll see about that.

Is T.A Orji the only PDP Senator bound for the NA? Beside if Lagos can queue up behind a big thief such as Tinubu, why should you point finger at Orji?

All am rooting for is Igbo Senator, we shall make it happen, even if the guy is in PDP!

Firefire:

That's how I see it.

Senate leadership should go to SE even if the beneficiary is from PDP. As it was done for Tambuwal from NW, should it it be for SE.

I am sure Berem and Egift and co will agree to this.

PassingShot:
If you read my write up, I didn't disparage anyone for losing, it's just that things must be put in perspective.

Neither did I accuse you of disparaging any; I'm only saying you need the benefit of hindsight to know the winners and losers. The race has just begun...

Demdem:
Shatap goon.
Jonah-daft till 2015

I have no time to play with kids this morning. Perhaps, later Didiri.

Tambuwal was Speaker even as an APC minority in the house.

The Senate president position should go to SE even if the beneficiary is of PDP!

Demdem:
Ur antecedents are well known here pointlessB. No doubt, Buhari will perform exceedingly well than jonah-daft who in the midst of plenty failed woefully.

No doubt? lol

Some folks are just kids.

Demdem:
[s][/s]

Sore Looser. The thing pain am.

lol,

Like I said, it's too early to talk about winners and losers. But then, some of you are of thick-skull. Learning can be such a pain in the arse.

Sagamite:
You are a cretinous fuuktard!

How unemployment market?

Like I noted earlier, you vocabulary skill set is very limited.

Spend some time improving your range of English words; read books, dictionary, journals, whatever. Heck, you can even start with children books.
It will improve you and help you use more words, other than the bolded. Now that's my honest advice to you on fool's day!

My people say "after the race you count the miles." I think those who celebrate electoral victory as 'change' are misguided. The real change comes from the policies and their implementation, not from the euphoria of potentially Pyrrhic victory.

I'll keep fingers cross and watch how the frail looking semi-illiterate and his bunch of rogues proceed!

ignis:
Nice one...
We made a silly mistake. Had it been we voted Ngige , he would have been the most likely next senate president.

Now an igbo man can neither be the senate president nor speaker. Hence not represented in the first 4 citizens.

How long has Ngige been in the National Assembly? What did he achieve for Anambra, Ndigbo, or Nigeria?

We made no mistake, we were resolute and principled in our commitment! There is nothing to worry about; those who need to worry about Ndigbo is the particular some ethnic group whose stock in trade is to talk about Ndigbo! We worry or fear not!

SE did not vote in any APC leader, so what?

Why are some of you clowns taking panadol for another man supposed head-ache!

Which political power did SW hold in the present administration, and did they die?


What's all these hullabaloo about?

SE has held the Senate leadership severally in the past, to what end?

What did David Mark achieve for Benue with that possible in the several years he held? If he did, why did PDP lose the election in Benue?
Alot of people have suddenly turn masters in SE affairs, even when they know next to nothing about what they are talking about.

We have rejected APC totally in SE, hopefully Rochas will lose his re-election bid to PDP/APGA to complete the process.

How now?

Unemployment is here again in your lives?

How una go cope?

How do I respond to every jobless punter such as you who spam my mention?

Get lost, fagamite!

anonimi:
IF Buhari wins, it will be because

- he was seriously well packaged by the oyinbo people of AKPD Media
- PDP ran an uncoordinated campaign that did not focus on the BETTER by far performance record of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in five years as civilian president compared to that of Buhari's two years as MAXIMUM military ruler.
- inadequate mobilisation of voters in Jonathan's core support areas of SS and SE.

among other factors.

We will be here IF he is sworn in to point out as the DECEPTION unravels itself the way it did with the JagbaJantis of Bourdillon in Lagos state after 2003.

I agree with you on all three reason why GEJ lost, especially on the last one! As for Buhari, the unlettered bigot, God willing we be here to unmask him for the wolf in sheep's clothing that he is!

Firefire:
I am aligned with you 100%

All what Firefire said about Buhari remains in the cyberspace and I stand by it.

BUT: Let give PEACE chance for the love of our dear nation.

Shalom!

Thank you,

As for peace, I have no weapon training, and haven't handled a gun in my life. I haven't killed anyone, nor do I intend to do so. But I will as much as possible say my mind without caring whose oz is gored! Peace will always have it's chance, as I will not stand in it's way!

I hope those who have queued up will their big barrels for stolen oil also understand the need for peace!

atlwireles:
We owe the victors "congratulations", at least today. .

I believe some people are doing it to save face, I have no regret supporting GEJ.

As for Buhari, what I said about him still hold, until proven wrong.

He's an unlettered bigot; winning an election does not erase the fact. Let the victors enjoy their victory laps, but there will be no peace for the wicked, not even when he wins election!

I fail to understand all these raft of "alleluia today, crucify him tomorrow" congratulations. If and when the unlettered semi-illiterate bigot is declared winner, what we need him to do is his job!

His job, simple!!

daniwealth:
if I were to be Goodluck Jonathan, the best
things I can do right now are as follows: (1)
Annul the on-going Presidential election and
stop any further announcement just like IBB
did in June 12, 1993 presidential election (2)
Sack Professor Attahiru Jega (3) Declared a
state of emergency in all states. (4) Divide
Nigeria back into Eastern Region, Northern
Region, Western Region and Mid-Western
with full federalism (5) Appoint military
administrators to manage all the regions.
Shekina!
What about you? What will you do if you
were to be Goodluck Jonathan??

He doesn't have such power or clout!

SeverusSnape:
Bros... Is there any hope for GEJ??

I see none, but the chameleon said, "the mere fact that the forest is on fire does not mean I should change the dignified walking steps of my fore fathers."

SeverusSnape:
As you all know, I'm a staunch supporter of Jonathan, The final result has not been announced, but I see Buhari winning this election; No two ways about that. GEJ has lost the election, It's over, it has been a really tough battle, It was fun while it lasted; the insults, , The teasing and the bashing, I personally enjoyed every bit of it.
For those of you saying "SeverusSnape will soon deactivate", No way!.... I ain't deactivating, once a nairalander, always a Nairalander.
To all GEJ supporters, I urge you all to support the new government of Buhari and contribute your own quota to the development of this great nation. Jonathan has tried his best, let him just leave the rest.

That's all I have to say for now.

God bless president Jonathan
God bless the president elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless all Nairalanders.
God bless all Nigerians.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thanks
