Which other challenges aside Boko Haram?

customized13:
this is a very salient point, if they are not comfortable, they can secede.

Lol...... Like say the Abuja (country's capital) dey your papa backyard. If you want secession, tell gej to first relocate his capital to otuoke or any where SE/SS and rule whatever he creates whichever way he wants.
Or havve you forgotten that he can't continue to rule from Aso rock should the north secede.

naijaking1:
If Jega doesn't want to resign it would be so easy to disgrace him out of office, for instance, how come he is a part of the northern leaders meeting trying to oust GEJ while at the same time he is supposed to be the arbiter of elections between GEJ and a northerner?
How come he has been using lap top computers 'donate' by northern leaders to register under age youths for the election? Why accept computers from one side of the fight knowing fully well that these computers talk to each other and could be manipulated to rig results
Why, why, why

Seriously; God Help us change even our Educationally Illiterates. When you lack functional education' You make incredibly stupid assertions. Unfortunately your type are the once in Aso Rock (Okupe, FFK and co)

Now that the elction has been postponed, hope they will boycott.

Jonathan till 2019.

Johnnyessence:
Prominent northern groups and individuals on Friday opposed calls for the postponement of the forthcoming general elections while they also vowed to resist any attempt by the Federal Government to sack Professor Attahiru Jega as the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

In separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH, those who spoke lambasted the Southern Nigeria Peoples Assembly led by Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark, for seeking the postponement of the polls.

They also condemned the Assembly’s call for the sacking and arrest of Jega for allegedly conniving with northern leaders to rig President Goodluck Jonathan out of office.

The SNPA, at a press conference on Thursday, threatened that elections would not hold in the southern part of the country should the commission decide to go ahead with the exercise as scheduled.

However, the apex northern socio-political group, Arewa Consultative Forum, said it might be forced to push for a boycott of the elections in the North if it was shifted.

A National Executive Council member of the ACF, Mohammed Abdulrahman, said, “Any attempt by the Federal Government, colluding with the PDP, to postpone the elections or sack Prof. Attahiru Jega and replace him with a pliant alternative will only increase the challenges this current administration under President Jonathan is facing.

“The North may boycott the election if it is shifted. Jega has said it several times that INEC is ready to conduct the elections.”

Corroborating Abdulrahman, the past National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Mr. Anthony Sani, warned Nigerians not to rule out the possibility of the removal of Jega, just as the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (now the Emir of Kano), Lamido Sanusi, was removed from office.

Sani said, “When they say Prof. Jega should be sacked because there have been allegations that there is connivance between INEC and northerners to rig President Jonathan out of office, I begin to wonder how northerners, who bring up the rear in almost everything under the sun, would be able to outsmart the South in that regard.”

Similarly, the NEF on Friday said it was surprised that the Presidency had become jittery over the elections.

The Deputy Chairman of the Maitama Sule-led forum, Dr. Paul Unongo, said the INEC Chairman supervised the 2011 election and declared Jonathan the winner and Buhari the loser despite that Jega is of northern origin like the latter.

He also queried why the PDP and the Presidency had not called for the postponement of the elections since INEC made the time-table public over one year ago.

Similarly, the National Coordinator, Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, described as “insidious and self-serving” the southern leaders’ call for Jega’s resignation.

He stated that Jega could not be forcefully removed, as the Electoral Law was clear on his appointment.

“Even the National Assembly cannot remove him without two-thirds majority. The President has no power to remove him and he cannot try what he tried with (former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor) Lamido Sanusi by saying they are suspending him. He has no right to even suspend him,” Mohammed stated.

In the same vein, the National President, Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Mr. Yerima Shettima, said calls for poll postponement were strange.

He said, “If INEC says it is prepared, then the Federal Government should allow the commission to go ahead with the elections. Let us remember that whoever triggers any tension does so at the expense of the entire nation.

Similarly, the Tanko Yakassai-led Northern Elders Counci said no one could sack Jega apart from the National Assembly.

Yakassai said, “They had better read the constitution; Jega can only resign on his own. The provision in the constitution for the removal of the chairman of the commission is clear. The Senate can begin the process, but they cannot tell him to resign.

Meanwhile, the British High Commission told SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday that it was in support of credible elections in Nigeria. The High Commission’s press officer, Edward Dunn, said it was willing to work with the Federal Government to achieve this.

He said, “We welcome the recent signing of the Abuja Accord and other similar commitments around the country. We call on all political parties, security forces and other actors to do everything possible to ensure Nigerians are able to exercise their democratic rights, free from the threat of violence.”

Why all the noise about change on the date
of election? Does it really matter? Is the
change in date gonna change your mind
about who you want to vote for? why are
most Nigerians so uncultured? Just hold your
breath and your PVC tight on the appointed
day you go and cast your vote to your
preferred candidate and stop all these
unnecessary noise and war instigating
comments.

Give us a genuine change not 72 years old grand papa. Who cannot run. GEJ, is here to decentralise power and balance the country. Death sentence to born to rule.

Useless, stupid, senile, wicked & violence instigating re.tar.d.s. They should go ahead & do their worse after all the north is already a war zone which people globally do not want to associate with, their 'MAD' mutually assured destruction would definitely consume them & their immediate families. They even acknowledge that the north is lagging behind in every facet of life but they don't care so far their families are okay. Wicked men that refused to educate the northern masses under the guise of an ancient system called almajiri so they would always use them as canon fodders to cause unrest now GEJ is giving those abandoned kids education & a new life yet they are not happy. When boko haram reared its ugly head, they discreetly supported them with a very evil mindset of undermining the regime of GEJ but now that the monster they nurtured has turned around to consume them, they are crying fowl. The entire south is already tired of this debilitating, parasitic & unholy union called Nigeria, where the north contributes absolutely nothing while dragging us back with their baggage of backwardness. To HELL WITH THEM!!!

If they think its no fun staying in this fake relationship, let's all walk out of it either peacefully or otherwise days of allowing fools dictate the tone is far gone!

Why, why, why

Bros, it is painful that you only hear things from the enemies of Nigeria like Edwin Clark and then conclude. If u had waited patiently till last night (and had not slept off), you would have watched live when Jega said he had never met with any group like he was accused of by Jega. He also slammed the media for not investigating the accusation before publishing the story and that it was because he was too busy, he would have gone to court.
I want to tell you that we journalists (I inclusive) are part of the problems facing this country. I often tell my colleagues that we cannot be exonerated if anything happened to this country as a result of this election because we daily light the ember of discord with the way we write our stories to satisfy the sponsors just for percuniary reasons.
It is shameful and that is why one must digest a story well before believing it.

Mak I go see the american embassy

Its time I went awt of this country.

This place is no country

I swear!!

Those who make Peaceful Change Impossible, make Violent Change wetin... ?

The world is tuned to Nigeria waiting to see the Bloodiest Gladiatorial contest of the 21st Century! Syria, CAR, South Sudan etc have become Boring Arenas! Yet we do not see this or choose to entertain freely like Flamma!

Truth is, the South has had the North where it has always wanted since the End of the Civil War! Its a win-win situation for them! Let them win, and they hold on to power for a while Longer, Try pushing them out now and they will burn down the country! Either Scenario, it is the North that loses access to the Coast and Petroleum Resources plus being seen by the international community as an Anti-progressive aggressor!
The last National Conference was all the Legitimate excuse the Southerners needed to show the world how irrational the North is! They'll go "We called the country together to discuss how to rearrange our marriage, the North refused to discuss anything pertaining to divorce"!
For once, let Northern leaders sit together and discuss! Its either they play the fool till 2019 or risk losing all !!!
As much as they want to sell Buhari as a Saviour of the country? The South just sees him as Northerner trying to grab power from them!(The divisive campaigns of PDP isn't helping matters too)

Everything happening in Nigeria today looks too Coordinated to be Spontaneous! Boko Haram, Militants resurfacing, Biafran Nostalgia, Massive looting of the Treasury, Economic Collapse, Increased Ethno-Religious Intolerance, Demystification of our Armed forces, De-sensitization of people regarding the Death of Nigerians etc!


Nigeria is like a Man standing on the Edge of a Cliff On One Leg with his eyes closed!

The Ball is in the Court of the North this time around! Play the Fool one more time or Grant Secessionists their Age-long Wish!

Goodmorning Potential Corpses and Refugees!

Lol.. The north should do their worst

The news papers want to factionalized this issue as North versus south and it is not. It is about Nigeria and about a corrupt incompetent President who is working towards the unsurprising of democracy for personal greed and recklessness. All Nigerians can see that. Don't fan the embers of sectional hatred.
