Oby is an idiot.

What exactly has she done with her life asides working at the world bank?

What exactly have u done with yours beyond posting on nairaland.

If you think working at the world bank is easy meat, you can send in your CV for consideration.

If you have a problem with the woman's position on President Jonathan, take her up on those points....not attack her personally.

most nigerians are backward and primitive(apc)
this country is already divided by the yorubas, fulani and hausa, take them out of this contry, then nigeria will be a better place.

people easily be deceived, that the same sets of persons that messed up pdp are now in apc.

jonathan is the best president we nigerians has ever had and some youths are too blind to see this.
i weep for nigerians cos we are back to 1960.

not forgetting that this election was rigged by apc(in the north), jonathan was wise enough to succumb to defeat cos he does not want killing of of innocent citizens in the north..


fvvvk apc

People like you make it so hard not to gloat and be insulting so excuse me while I curse you out...

You can go and die if you dont like the idea of a Buhari presidency. You will not be missed. Those of us who believe that God anoints leaders and anointed Buhari just like he did GEJ, will join hands with the new President to build on what has been achieved so far...we will move on without you. If you can't deal with it, feel free to fucking kill yourself!!![b][/b]

Now that I've gotten that outta my system, I wish you a good day.

God bless Nigeria.

Buhari "won" the election abi? Oya he should come and rule let us see. Gongs of war.

Doofus the elections are won and lost and we have a new President by God's grace. Get with the programme.

The only drums of war that will sound will be in ur backyard.

blkmum700:
Thunder way go fire PDP supporter way no accept defeat and congratulate the General de do press up.

Cut that out Bro. We are Nigeria....Nigeria won it.

The numbers are all over the place. I think I will just wait for the official announcement. Fingers crossed for GMB.

Ngwakwe:
When will these ignoramuses stop disturbing the peace we have by magnifying their gullibility?

The hike in tarrif never affected private consumers but commercial and corporate consumers hence the return to previous billing template has nothing to do with the said group.

Oga go and sleep and stop calling your head an ignoramus joor!!!

I live in Satellite Town serviced by the Eko Disco and since January, I have been receiving ridiculously inflated bills for the 1 hour every 3 days power they supply. The trend even led to a recent peaceful protest by some residents in the area

If you have not been receiving those crazy bills then speak for yourself and stop insulting our intelligence and sensibilities please.

When I heard the news of a 50% reduction, I jokingly told someone it was an election gimmick that would be reversed as soon as the elections are over. How strange that it took NERC 2 weeks plus to clarify the category of people that will enjoy the so-called 50% reduction.

Mtcheewww!!!

Here is a video compilation of 3 of our "First Lady"'s speeches - on Prison, on Stoning and on Almajiris.

 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96Ky8QMtStM

Transcript:
Patience: Women, we are not ready to carry food to any man in the prison oooooooooo. It is not our portion oooooooooo, yey...

Patience: Anybody that will come and tell you change, stone that person, anybody that tell you change, tell the person carry ya change and getaway...

Patience: Almajiris; we for the south here, we nor get almajiris oo, because our men nor dey born shildren wey dem nor go remember their names, our men nor dey born shildren wey dem nor go fit count, our men nor dey born shildren dem go throway give mama...

Wow!

Did she even pause for a minute to think that there were some women of northern origin in the crowd or standing next to her on the podium?

Really bad!

Waiting to read BRF's response. It promises to be epic....

gbassa:
No woman will keep silent and look another man insult her husband even if she can not fight the man with strength, but a good woman will fight back with mouth, that is what patience Jonathan is doing, I will not blame her to an extent. But as a woman she ought not to talk all the time.

How is the call for change an insult on her husband?

She clearly and loudly told PDP supporters to "stone" anyone that comes to them calling for change.

What was she thinking they would "stone" them with? Panties??

She may have been a scout for the terrorists.....and she may just have been a typical muslim woman raised to avoid and resist any intrusive search.

This are interesting times. But we must resist the temptation to descend to the levels of barbarism and paranoia where we begin to lynch one another out of fear. That would only further the agenda of the terrorists.

If she was a suspect, she'd been apprehended and should have been handed over to the security agencies. She may have proven to be a vital asset to track down her handlers.

I don't think the Americans that made those comment will condone the lynching of a captured terrorist on American soil. These "commendations" are pretty tongue in cheek in my opinion.

barnabasj:
President Goodluck Jonathan comments about the opposition party, noting that members of the party speak with venom and bitterness.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=32aKgc0j0Ws

This from a President whose campaign manager just alluded to a member of the opposition's buccal hygiene regimen as a reason not to vote for the opposition party. A President whose spokesperson is half of the time engaged cursing out people on social media.

I wonder who is truly bitter.

See what the American ambassador said:

http://www.channelstv.com/2015/01/09/us-says-arms-deal-embargo-nigeria/

koikoi2:
Where were u wen America refuse to sell us weapons?

Where were u wen Amnesty International accused d Nigerian army of violating human rights?

Where were u wen buhari said a war against boko haram is a war against d north?

Maybe u were not born? mugu

The same America that "refused to sell arms to us" according to you and our President transferred 2 naval warships to Nigeria for free last year. The same US had personnel on ground here in Nigeria training our soldiers until they were reportedly asked to leave for some inexplicable reason.

Our President is issuing statements about how the arrival of new weapons has turned the tide against Boko Haram....but there are close to 100 Nigerian soldiers on death row in this country for crying out about poor equipment.

C'mon man! The Internet is not only meant for posting on nairaland and Facebook. Do your research and stop being lazy.

I just bought for 100 naira at a filling station within the Navy Barracks. What is going on?

Rad1cal:
Pretense ! were you also sad when you all reporting boko violence with gladness.

Point me in the direction of one post where I reported "Boko violence with gladness or bury your head in shame.

Popemax:
Heard Buhari is planning to bribe cambrige to provide fake certificate bt they have refused.....

Say no to drugs....They make you hear all sorts...

I am a supporter of Buhari. I am not sad about the victories recorded by the Nigerian army in the Northeast. I commend our army for the speed with which they are reclaiming territory lost to Boko Haram in the last few years.

I am sad that it took this government all these time and the unfortunate death of thousands of civilians and soldiers to provide the necessary support to our armed forces to prosecute the war against terror.

I am sad that hundreds of civilians lost their lives in Baga and we hear reports today that it took the Nigerian Army only 3 hours to flush out the same terrorists from Baga.

I am sad that the Nigerian Army has recorded more victories in the last 2 weeks than it has in the entire campaign against terrorists....A more positive approach to the war earlier than now would have prevented the needless deaths that have been recorded.

I am sad that in spite of the huge amount budgeted to security over the last 5 years, we are only beginning to see positive results 2 weeks after what would have been our general elections.

So, yes I commend the troops for the magical turnaround in the war against terrorism.....i even commend the FG for finally waking up to its responsibility. But please allow me to be sad and mourn those that have died due to the tardiness in the onslaught against terrorism.

nationwide1:
You support his insulting me so that I refer him to the law? Birds of a feather flock together.

I apologise on his behalf for the "insult." Please point out the aspect of the constitution or the law that Buhari breached as stated in your earlier post.

Obinoscopy:
The courts cleared them of all charges and ordered the immediate re-opening of Amigo Supermarket.

http://247nigerianewsupdate.co/update-why-court-freed-amigo-supermarket-owner-jailed-fellow-lebanese-for-life/#sthash.61a52syN.dpuf

I will blame the courts for allowing the owners of Amigo Supermarket to go scot-free.

I won't blame the courts because courts can only adjudicate based on facts before them. If the facts brought against the Fawaz brothers by the DSS (who I believe prosecuted the case on behalf of the federal government) were not hard enough to prove the case of terrorism beyond reasonable doubt, the courts have no choice but to set them free and restore all their rights. Don't forget that the brothers are naturalised Nigerian citizens now, with rights guaranteed by the Nigerian constitution.

I think the DSS needs to reopen its investigation based on this new insight. Nigeria must not be portrayed as a safe haven for terrorists. Our image is bad enough as is.

Bash92:
The Federal Government said on Thursday that
troops had so far recaptured 29 towns held by
Boko Haram insurgents in the North-East in the
renewed offensive against them.
The Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr
Mike Omeri, announced this while giving an update
on troops’ operations in the area at a news
conference.
Omeri listed the towns and villages recaptured
from the insurgents in the last two weeks as: Abba
Jabari, Gajigana, Gajiram, Damakar, Kumaliwa,
Bosso, Wanti, Jeram and Karisungul.
The others are: Mafa, Gamboru-Ngala, Malam-
Fatori, Abadam, Marte, Monguno and Baga, all in
Borno state.
He also listed Gujba and Gulani, in Yobe as towns captured from the terrorists.
In Adamawa, Omeri said the troops had retaken 11 towns and settlements earlier held by Boko Haram.
They are: Hong, Mubi North and Mubi South,
Maiha, Michika, Shuwa, Wuro Gyambi, Gombi,
Vimtim, Uba and Bazza.
Omeri urged the citizens to show patriotism and appreciate the efforts and sacrifices being made by the military and other security personnel in prosecuting the war against terror.
He also urged citizens to “shun the trend of
cynicism among some unpatriotic Nigerians” who,
he said, ascribed recent success in the anti-terror
war to external forces rather than the Nigerian
troops.
www.today.ng/news/military-has-so-far-recaptured-29-towns-from-boko-haram-fg/

Wow! That is fantastic news.

I hope they can clear out the other towns before the elections so that life can return to normal. It is sad that it took our government this long to launch a full scale offensive against boko haram...but better late than never.

29 towns!!!

I stand corrected then.

All hail the performing governor of Ekiti State!

9jaroof:
The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said he will not stop attacking the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

‎
The governor, who said he owed nobody any apology for exposing the alleged hypocrisy of the APC leaders, accused them of placing personal interests above national interest.


Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, was reacting to criticisms that had trailed his campaign for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and his continuous attacks on Buhari.


He however said, he had nothing personal against Buhari.

‎
According to him, the APC has not only packaged lies and tried to foist such on Nigerians, it has also compromised the Independent National Electoral Commission to rig the election earlier scheduled for February 14.

Someone remind me what this chap has achieved so far as governor of Ekiti again beyond handing out chickens and cups of rice to indigenes....

Ekiti people have entered one chance with this guy....they just don't know it yet.

barcanista:
We all know that the so-called interview is arrangee. Common sense will tell us that no mercinary will tell the whole world that he was paid to do such a job. I have no doubt in my mind that both the interviewer and the interviewee are themselves mercinaries.






*I may be wrong tho*

Choi!! Barcanista!!! Even you?

Na wah o!!!

OP what Jonathan commissioned is the second phase. Anyway, what is most important is that we have electricity. So far it has improved significantly. Did we enjoy this under Obj?

Can someone please tell me why this thread has not been deleted and the OP banned??

AKPOSbaba:
NATIONAL Co-ordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, yesterday, said that six million members of the group have resolved to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan at the March 28 presidential polls.

He said OPC members took the decision at their National Co-ordinating Council meeting after taking time to assess President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Major Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He made the disclosure at his Lagos residence while hosting Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Niger Delta Affairs, Hon Kingsley Kuku, who came to solicit his and OPC’s support for Jonathan’s re-election.
Adams said OPC is rooting for Jonathan because of his human rights records in not arresting or detaining any activist since he came to power, convocation of national conference and promise to implement the 633 recommendations that will help to restructure the country, which he said is in the interest of the Yoruba and South-west.

 

He said: ‘’OPC is a group of six million people. We sat down at our National Co-ordinating Council to decide on who to vote for between President Jonathan and Buhari and the support for Jonathan is unanimous.”

”Now, we have come out to support Jonathan because of the National Conference. We have been clamouring for National Conference since 1992, even our leaders could not organise it. President Olusegun Obasanjo organised the National Political Reforms Conference with a lot of no-go areas. In the end there was a stalemate. ”Now a minority, Jonathan, did it. The only no-go area is the unity of the country. He gave us open cheque to decide the future of Nigeria.”

 http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/polls-6m-opc-membersll-vote-for-jonathan-adams/

If the "6 million OPC members" include the 4 that provide security in my Close, then Mr Adams and the PDP are sitting on a very loooong thing.

Those guys are so rabidly and passionately pro Tinubu and APC that they personally remove any PDP posters put up around my Close gate.

The Close chairman had to warn them to desist from such.

These are very intriguing times we are in.

FFK simply outspoke amaechi, he made amaechi feel like a riffraff.

Don't you mean "out lied" Amaechi?

FFK fluently lied his way thru a 30 minutes interview. An utter superfluity of nonsense. (Apologies to Pastor Chris Okotie )

This is Sahara Reporters reporting that Nigetian troops have captured Baga.
http://saharareporters.com/2015/02/21/nigeria-recaptures-baga-boko-haram-militants

They dont like PDP or Jonathan but that is not a crime. I myself dont like Jonathan as i did not like Abacha and also did not like Obasanjo going for third term. Nobody hides stuff again it is the information age. Not liking your government is actually a good thing most of the time. Being supportive of the opposition is also a very good thing.If there was no.opposition in Nigeria Jonathan would never ever have been president. What you are not permitted to do is to hate your country or covertly or actively work to bring down the government of your country through non constitutional means.
That then is treason and you should be jailed.

Guy there are some posts you should not dignify with a response. This one particularly is not worth a response.

lwise:
How many hours does it take to travel from Nigeria to UK?
How comes he didnt grant any press interview before he sneaked out?
Could the prostrate cancer issue be true?
Are they really hiding his health status?

Before 12pm,if I didnt see any picture of him addressing people in the UK,I swear,I will change my mind.

Why wait that long?
