Like I. Said earlier
Two things will happen if the present government does not take heed
1 REVOLUTION
2 CIVIL WAR
Those who make peaceful CHANGE impossible make VIOLENT change inevitable!

The last time I checked Gbagbo is not a citizen of Nigeria. We all know where he is from and in that part of the world they don't have oil, no oil money to fight for. No Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Tiv, Efik and so on. Please don't compare Nigeria with gbagbos country. We are on the brink of another civil war, we are inevitably going to break up just because some people deceptively think a minority can not and does not deserve to lead this nation as a president, while some think without them in power there can't be peace in Nigeria. We are yet to learn and it's is very unfortunate this will hit us like a fireball just as we think it's all child's play. Change is inevitable, but breaking up is a better way to change. Watch as it lands in Nigeria sooner than you expect. May God not turn Nigeria to Syria.
You are just being an ethnic bigot... pure and simple. I am partly south south dude and my decision is not based on any of the rubbish you listed up there.. it's purely based on what has been obtainable in the last 4 years of his rule, in fact the entire PDP rule in NIGERIA. I don't use sentiment to make decisions like you are doing. Even if he is my blood brother, same mother and father, I will vote him out since he couldn't deliver on his mandate.

STOP being sentimental man. REMOVE that rubbish from your mind... and use logic in whatever you embark on.

Like actions in Hollywood blockbusters, gunmen, which number could not be easily ascertained, on Friday morning raided a printing press in Shomolu area of Lagos State, carting away copies of a book on the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Our correspondent gathered that the gunmen harassed the printers and took away copies of the book, entitled Two-Faced Jonathan: 100 Reasons Why Jonathan Must Go, authored by Blessing Agbomhere.

Workers in the printing press who were too  frightened, could not ask questions or confront the gun-wielding men suspected to be security operatives.

Speaking to journalists on the development, Agbomhere said the book was scheduled for launch at the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Secretariat in Lagos, before the incident.

Agbomhere, who is also the initiator of Change Ambassador of Nigeria (CAN), said, “This book was being printed in Shomolu and I was told that the book that was to be launched today (Saturday) was taken away after someone within the printing press, who has sympathy for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), alerted security operatives about it.

“They came and confiscated all the printed copies of the book.  They came in mufti.

“We don’t know the arm of security agency that they belong to, or whether they are private individuals or not.

“The printers had to immediately release the books to them, because, they were heavily armed. I am not owing them. I have already paid them.”

Agbomhere added that the book mirrors Jonathan as a “President of the cabal, Tompolo, Asari-Dokubo and a few other corrupt elements, who are sponsoring Boko Haram to destroy Nigeria’s unity.

“The book says President Jonathan has failed to defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and as such should not seek re-election or ask for a job he know he doesn’t have the capacity to do,” he said.

The author dared Jonathan to act on the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) forensic audit report and bring those indicted by the report to book.

Also speaking, Ibilola Essien, a social entrepreneur with Act Now Nigeria, a non-governmental organisation, said the present administration has not done enough to salvage the country from the many problems besieging it.

According to her, poverty and corruption have continued to soar, while insecurity in the North East has claimed over 15,000 lives since 2009.

The writer is a jackass full of party loyalty why can't he/she write about the other contestant to show us their picture by being honest in order to prevent the electorate from drifting from the right part.

I am not being sentimental or tribalistic about my comments. It might have sounded that way to you, I simply stated the obvious staring us all in the face. Take it or leave it, if this is not handled with all sincerity of purpose rather than base this on a blanket of deceptive change, we will end up where we really don't want to be. I see a lot of people claim GEJ has never achieved anything for the past 6 years and I say that is being deceptively cynical. If the opposition actually wanted PDP out of the way starting it during OBJs & Yaradua's tenure would had been a better time. GEJ has been so abused, all manner of name calling even by people who cannot take charge if their own family, his convoy attacked in different parts of the country, denigration of the office he occupies and so on and you tell me it's not about tribal politics. Please save your story until March 28.

Sir, You are a narrow minded tribal war mongerer that thinks wars are fought on the keypads of his device.



Who gives a damn where the thief is from, is cluelessness and corruption an attribute of the minorites? Or, is the Oil you make so much stupid noise over a thing of concern to the Nigerian on the street?


Get knowledge, go outside yr village n travel, see how other nations run & the growth/development that came by.


You r nothing but a local tribal e-champion. And If infact you dnt like my comment, get a pistol... Shove it down your mouth.... And pull on that firing pin best known as a trigger!



Bloody animal!
Hahahaha grin grin

I laugh at you because you simply cannot be classified, your stupiiidiiity has no borders neither can it be defined. You are a kid. I hav lived in Lagos, Ibadan, PH, Kano as now in Abuja, you know nothing but what you are fed over the internet. I can see how politics have really the humane part of you so much so that your sense I reasoning have been completely eroded.

Please my dear, I won't waste me time on your childish comments. You only need to quote me after 28th of March. Now you can go and prepare for school, you'll be leaving early tomorrow. grin grin grin

Abeg let her release the e-book online. we need to read the book to further consolidate our position against a treacherous and insensitive government that wants to perpetuate itself in power using ethnicity, religion and docility of Nigerians. the book may be useful to salvage some die hard ignoramuses who have almost sold their souls to this clueless and dangerous government. .

What kind of logic is this? The criminal act of B is acceptable because A also did it? Since when do two wrongs make a right? I hope you realise you are on the receiving end of whoever did it, so be wise.
I'm not on the receiving end. What I don't like is people who are not objective like some APC and PDP supporters.

You know that the same "criminals" that were in PDP are now in APC, so where is the change. Last time we heard that Tinubu demanded for 3 oil blocs if Buhari becomes president but APC supporters said it is propaganda.

When I sit down and see these hypocritical acts, I feel like throwing up. There's nothing progressive about Tinubu. I've seen how he ran Lagos State.

You're a joker if you think GEJ cannot do something like this. Where were you when he sent soldiers to confiscate newspapers? Where were you when DSS went to ransack the offices of an opposition party? Where were you when he overturned the votes of the national governors association and then he sent AIG Mbu to intimidate Gov Amaechi? Where were you when he sent police to prevent the Speaker of the House from entering the premises of the National Assembly?
GEJ is nothing but a brutal repressive dictator in civilian dress. He is not worthy of the office he currently occupies and God will send him out of the place in disgrace very soon. You can quote me on that.

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN, HEAR WHAT ADIELEIKECHI IS
ABOUT TO TELL YOU.Am not a politician, neither a
member of APC norPDP.I just want to share a piece of
information withyou.=>PLEASE DON'T READ AND STOP
HALFWAY.The problem of this Nation is our
CONSTITUTION,but you may not know. Our constitution
has whatwe known as DUAL IDEOLOGY. How can you
havetwo captain in the same ship.Section(1) of 1999
Nigerian constitution statethat: the law is
supreme...Section(38) now guaranteed freedom of
believe,expression, etc. Inside the same constitution,
wehave sharia, and sharia law state that, you mustnot
practice other religion nor change to anotherreligion
you must die.BOKOHARAM are fighting for their right,
give ussharia give us sharia.., because that is what is
inthe constitution. Remember, as a Christian, theywill
like to eliminate you, simply because, youdon't believe
in what they believe.My question to you is, is Nigeria
Sharia orChristian state? Because in our constitution, it
wasmentioned 73times, Islam 28times,
Muslem10times but no single Christianity.I said, APC
has an Islamic agender for Nigeria. Lettake a close look
at the Party APC, theirleadership Structure; National
Leader NorthMuslem, South Muslem, Chirman
Muslem, DeputyMuslem..to mention but a few.Did you
know that, the newly Six Geo-politicalzone was design
by O.I.C the organization forIslam in 1983 and was
restructured by Dr AlexEgwueme when Abacha asked
for it. O.I.C didthat, just to achieve their aim, now they
havetaken North-west, North-East and are
battlingseriously in North central, this 2015 South west
istheir next battle ground. Stop been a fool, APC
istheir Machine, if you're a Christian there, they
willuse you and dump you. Hope you know that,
aSheep cannot be king in the lions Eden.If Christians
from Southwest don't wake up andpray now, they may
not live or be able to handover Christianity to their
Children in the next30yrs. Pray for Churches over
there in the Northand pray for Gej.I think i have to
stop here for today, till i comeyour way next time.
