I was goina comment until I saw the likes of Sjeezy dumb & Gay spewing hokum. . .abeg jare make I go do another wif my time.

vescucci:
I apologise to Image. All I meant is more people than you know are born outta wedlock. Suppose the pastor admits wrongdoing, what then? Decommission him as pastor? Or kill the child? It's wrong as a Christian to fornicate, yes. It might be worse not to accept the pastor's explanation. To me, given his explanation (which he owes nobody really) everyone ought to keep their cynicism at home. I'm sorry, Image. I spoke with some passion there.

Rhymez, you're just funny.

. . . Scheeeew!! Just waka jor! Because he is a pastor, it is out of bound to be cynical even when his explanations do not add up? I bet you are one of those siddon-talk, arm-chair critics that will take any Nigerian public officials to d cleaners and whine about how every Nigerian is a rogue. Abeg jare make we hear word with all this uneccessary fanaticism and illogical fear of the unknown when it comes to touchy religious issues.
No wonder a man once alarmed and said he hated religion because it was so shielded from objective scrutiny that ppl believe en masse what a lunatic will doubt in his solitude. Like, it is ok to do shyte because it is a pastor. . . Scheee. . .you are the one who is talking funny with all d adrenalin rushing through Ur head, how can U be objective.

vascuci you talk too much to make any sense, just imagine the shallow question you are asking. 'Who cares whether the child was born out of wedlock or not'. . .negro pls grow some sense, what kind of shallow question is that? So because there are kids born into poverty and war thorn sudan, in comparison, any kid is better off being born into any family(be rogues,rich LovePeddler,out of wedlock and such) so long as they are taken care of financially and materially. . .see how you think. . . .scheeeew. .

Even at that, I suspect fowl play abeg. These ppl ve not been married for up to a year and yet she was already pregnant. And why did she ve to deliver d baby in SA and not Nigeria where the pastor, his whole family and Church is based?
I can understand the pressure on the pastor since the death of his wife but I suspect the marriage was hastened up to accomodate the situation. It was possible she had already taken in before they finalised everything. How come no1 knew abt any emergency, even his members? Na wa o? Something as serious as the possibility of a premature birth was going to happen, he did not tell the church to pray for his wife or sth, all we heard was that she was already delivered of the baby and in SA. . .only for us to later get this0ex

Hahahahahahaha. . . . Nairalanders are just sumn else. . .hehehe. . .walahi O4kaa U be 'devil'. . .lmao. . .see as U just dey join ppl head 4 battle. . .dem suppose use U do MOD walahi!

Hmmm. . .funny enough, I know him 4rm the politics section as an intelligent commentator, I respect Ibime but not as a battle rapper though, Ibime wats up wif all the battling thingy. . .mehn U aint a rapper na, I know U very well in the politics section, that is where lies Ur forte. I know politicians can somehow be anything including rapperz but I fear 4 Ur rep O! Bamsyl seems to me like a rap gangstar, somehow he has been spitting subtly in many of his replies. He is got the wits of erswhile feared MOD, Eldee and d corrosive spit & braggadocio of Sauron, I take it that nigga is a battle rapper. . . But!!!. . . U neva know. ,U neva know. . . If Eldee can be butttttz Kicked by Rhymstein in a very disgraceful manner then I take it that anything is possible. . . Can't wait to see Ibime (who as far as am concerned, wil be reppin d politics section) Vs Bamsyl( who obviously is in his game). . . Let the battle begin. . .

@ Kettyking
Your analyses are flawed
1. You need to analyse their individual chances in the PDP primaries (in fact that is d only thing that matters to both of them now) before u talk of getting votes based on ethnic, marital, or tribal affiliations or identifications.
2. The PDP presidential primaries has a limited and easily manipulated number of delegates
3. Im sorry to tell u diz the PDP primary will be manipulated to favour GEJ gudging by events in recent weeks
4. With OBJ the BoT chairman wit GEJ, PDP NEC selected by GEJ and these people will b d one conducting the primary your guess is as good as mine

. . .chai! Nna Solo how You come take first me point out this guy's error. I bin wan ask whether all these im stats na unda one Phi dee phi ticket. . .guy bone, GEJ is so crushing IBB at d primaries that is why IBB is coming up with a plan B to make sure he splits GEJ's votes to spite him. GEj has the federal machinery at his disposal, dont 4get that!

Solomon227:
Nna na to run enter Cameroun oooo. This kind killing/looting combination beat me. In fact my Igbo brothers go 4get 2015 and start pleading mercy for our lives

. . . .hahahahahaha, . . Is it that bad? Anyway, even if it happens they aint gettin anywhere close to the presidency.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=513004.msg6749587#msg6749587 date=1284447325]You may not be against jonathan but a lot of ibo have expressed their opposition toward his aspiration even on nl.what i still want to understand is why IBB would want to settle for Odili,a ND when he had made noise that he would want to see an ibo presidency in 2015.is that not a deception to the core ?[/quote]. . . The igbo as a tribe is not against Ebele's candidature, most of the igbos that have expressed opposition to his candidature are PDP members whose arguements are justifiable in the confines of their constitution, it is individual and is not representative of the igbo tribe. It is only natural for everyone to want to protect their interest and make any moves towards achieving that. Just because the Yorubas have openly expressed their support for GEJ it does not mean the Igbos must tow that line, everyone has their reason and that of the Yorubas is very obvious besidz they have little to lose if their expectations are not met. However, it is imperative for the igbos to be careful with whom they align with to get the best bargain, simple! What we do now will determine how others will also support us, openly declaring any support now for anyone is folly, this is bargaining time and the igbos are going to use it to their advantage, no sentiments, just deal. So far, i like the divergent views amongst the igbo group, it will make the politicians fight for their support thus striking a bargain.

Fact is that whether Jonathan becomes president till 2015 or Odili goes on to become president after 2015, that will not stop igbos from wanting thesame position. As far as regional interest is concerned, Odili and Ebele represent the interest of the SS region and not that of the SE. It is folly for anyone to justify their occupation as igbo slot when they do not come from any of the SEastern states. If a man with dual hausa-yoruba identity that is not from any of the SW regions but say kogi or Kwara state becomes the president, it can't be said that he has already taken the slot of the yorubas coz while it can be argued that he is yoruba his geographical location probably occassion by his dual identity disqualifies him from representing not just the yoruba interest but that of the region.
Igbos' clamour for presidency goes beyond just tribe, the core runs along geographical divide as well and that is what we must not confuse.

Beaf:
I don't even believe Odili can visit the SS. The dude has been declared persona non grata.

. . . My brother he can jare, na nigeria we dey. All he needs to do is to move in in the company of a hundred policemen and in tainted vehicles. . . Scheeew. . .If IBB inspite of what he has done, can still be reckoned with then odili wu obele oku!

Well, let us not conclude yet, so far, he has not officially come out to say so. However, I think IBB's desperation is making him dense and impairing his judgement. If he thinks he can use Odili to kill two birds at thesame time then he is in for a shocker. Odili is not even popular in the SS let alone the SE. Infact, a delta state igbo would be more acceptable to the igbos in the SE than one from rivers state. Besides, when igbos say they want an igbo president, what they mean is an igbo from any of the southeastern states.
IBB is so falling out of favour in virtually every sphere of his campaign, I see a seriously confused man everytime he makes a move, the guy is not even as intelligent and politically savvy as we give him credit for. I bet Obasanjo is beating him to even his own game of wits. . . Scheeew. . . Evil genius my boring a$s, nothing intelligent abt most his moves-from botched paid interviews to manipulative associations that turned sour-everything is just desperate and manipulative. Imagine the nonentity implying he would give the igbos the presidency come 2015, like he would just walk on by and hand it over to anyone he likes(na ya papa invent d position). Even his comments shows a man that lacks depth. In a recent interview on AIT,when he was comfronted with the death of Dele Giwa, rubbish SAP and the missing 12billion oil windfall, the fool kept hiding his lack of any intelligent response by comparing his administration to a mediocre OBJ's and ended up saying Nigerians should be greatful to him. I felt like breaking the TV. Like Okey Ndibe succinctly put it: A case of mediocrity pointing accusing fingers at another mediocrity and yelling you are more mediocre.

Rhymstein
like I told you before, don't wait for this nigga to spit shiit coz he aint got nada to say. , lol
rapjunkie
I can bet my swit sisterz that eldee aint goina say shiit, he can't rap let alone go bar for bar wit rhymstein. . .he aint up to the task, he is all gusto and mere words, if U notice, U woulda observed that he has been playing a game of wits and avoiding rhymstein like a plague rather he would engage in war of words(his forte) with U than reply rhymstein.
If I were rhymstein, I wont  engage him again even if he replies, homey obviously does not spit,  . .lol. . I suspected it too. . Hahaha. . .I tot he had said he would reply if ibime and co heard d track and gave him d go ahead to reply. . .hahahaha. . .now it's Genuflect. . .lol. . . Who is it goina be next? May be Sauron. . . Eldee quit playin wit the scissors and shiits and cut the crap. . .rhymstein does not ve to rhyme it in rhythm for you to know this ( battle) is a rap. . . Hahahahaha. . .Eminem thanx for these lines, like you know dis will happen.
This battle should never have even happened sef; it's like rapjunkie dissing me in bars, wetin I go do? I go curse am back with my mouth cos I no sabi rap. That is what dis is all abt. I get it!

Rhymstein:
me no be battle rapper.i never use mic reach 10times.was using eldee to practise,was playin initially,bt d dude don dey vex me wit him posts.am
like WTF,i shld do a diss track 4u like i'm dissin mode9,m.i or saucekid,am like who d hell are u?a superstar?shey its gonna be played on radio or e go feature for notjustok.com

. . . .notjustok.com. . Hahahahaha. . . .abeg guy go do another thing jare with ya time, homeboy is more mere talk than action. . .U ve flawed him flat, there aint nothing he can do or say about that.
By d way, I downloaded it yday and decided to listen to it. . . You flowed with the beat wella jare that is a plus. . And who be dat guy wey dey chorus. . Hehehe. . Every time he comes up with the 'i no say e dey chuku U' part of the chorus I just start lafin. . Lol. . Anyway, that was cool. . .by d way, is that beat sample Jay z's take over beat?? Kinda sounds familiar, am tryinna remember who used it.

This whole thingy sucks abeg! Homey aint got ish to spit jarei! Enough of all these round and round gist. . . Scheeew. . .so much for a supposedly wack track. . . Obviously, there is a big difference btw just yappin ppl at random and going bars for bars with sb in particular. . . Me I dont rap and I don't pretend to do so but I know a good rapper when I see one; he is spontaneous and does'nt take eternity to figure out when to reply a diss that is directed at him and that has made him lose credibility.
The fact is that there is nothing Eldee will say here abt that diss track that will swing. Homey, you are far 4rm sitting on that critics' judgemental position, passing verdict and criticizing good rap songs from a bad ones. Now you are in the arena, that is not your job, your job is to fight back and actually show other critics that besidz talking the talk, you can also walk the walk, finish.
This has nothing to do with being a hater, this is telling you the blunt truth you might not want to hear. I visit this section regularly but I rarely comment, I prefer to read other ppl's comments and takes on issues concerning music and entertainment. I must confess, I notice Eldee and Sauron are deep in their analysis and criticisms but you guys also, downplay other ppl's opinions and many of the times you and sauron form a pair and curse anyone that dares to challenge your opinions. Now Rhymstein has decided to push the frontiers, he has called you out and is battle ready to go with you head to head and bars for bars, this is not the usual curse him out battle that the pair of you and sauron does, this is rap battle, Homey Fight or Accept Defeat!

Genuflect:
i think u shud, if for nothin but the clamour and your rep.(if u still got any left )
U may feel the linez are not dope but u gotta show us wat u can do, then we'l believe
that yea u were right wen u said the linez werent dope enuff to make u respond.
As it is, how do we kno that u aint wacker than the lines u call wack huh?

I'v said it even if it's text u gotta drop sumn. .or else. . .!
Sixteen

. . .DBR and Genuflect are U same peepz? Anyway, spot on!
cant say sb is wack when U aint got shiiit to compare. . .

Yeah yeah yeah. . . Eldee has been demystified, he aint that BAD afterall. . .curtains close. . . . But wait a minute, I see a lot of COWARDS and Opportunists who hitherto have not been brave enough to dare Eldee. . LoL. . They are the ones talking most and making the loudest noise. . Infact, I see misplaced and undeserved encomium going to them like they actually created the thread. . . .some homeys are just paper tigers, no balls, just b!tch negroz taking advantage of situations. . .hahahahaha. . .the rats play when the cats are away. . . Rats know themselves

eldee:
- 3

Someone needs to give me a good reason why Rhymestein is worth a disstrack.

. . . You want reasons, here you go:
"YOUR NOT THE REAL ELDEE SON , your JUST THE FAKE ELDEE THE DUNCE"
still want more? Ok there U go again:
''''ELDEE YOU ONLY EXPERIENCE EJACULATIOON CUZ U PRACTICE MASTURRBATION""
now I am having a good laugh. . . Might not be intelligent but mehn don't tell it aint funny!
Rhymstein practically turned you into a big joke! He demystified your divinity(lol) and made U the darling of everybody's joke. . . Anyone that reads it will laugh first b4 concluding anything. . .hahahaha. . .and mehn, homey practically called U out and made minced meat outta ya ass, if you are as great as often portrayed then squash him into silence but if you are goina take this route of it aint worthy and stuff like you ve spit anything yourself, then mehn! It is obvious who is wearing the crown.
Rhymstein, how does it fit by the way?

"One sad tendency in Nigerian
politics is the habit of arguing
that one mediocre politician has
a better record than another
mediocre colleague.
"
Very Very Very true. Like any of such comparison is better.
"His campaign website is full of negetive comments"
Before nko wetin im dey expect? Accolades for a job badly done?
This particular statement got me lafin in convulsion on my bed: "one mediocrity point accusing finger at another mediocrity shouting you are more mediocr! . . .hahahahaha. . . This Okey Ndibe guy is just funny with words. Spot on brother, spot ont!

One sad tendency in Nigerian
politics is the habit of arguing
that one mediocre politician has
a better record than another
mediocre colleague.
Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, it
appears, has become so
desperate – with his
presidential ambition going
nowhere – that he has adopted
that mode. In a recent
televised interview sponsored
by his campaign and aired on
AIT, Mr. Babangida tried to size
himself up against former
President Olusegun Obasanjo. It
was, as political strategies go,
both a rather desperate move
and highly revealing.
Since disclosing his interest in
the Nigerian presidency,
Babangida has insisted that the
job of running Nigeria is not for
young, unfledged Nigerians. He
stuck to that line in this
carefully orchestrated
interview. He touted his thirty-
two years “in public service”
and contended that the
challenge of governing Nigeria
“ requires not on the job training
but experience.”
Asked why he was wading into
the murky waters of politics,
Babangida answered: “The
water is murky, but somebody
has to get into that water and
clean it. ”
The interview became
interesting, in my view, when
the interviewer brought up the
issue of Dele Giwa ’s
assassination in October 1986.
Despite Babangida’s best efforts
to appear unruffled and
imperturbable, it was clear that
the question rankled this retired
general and former dictator. So
how did he deal with the
question?
First, he alleged that the Giwa
issue and other questions that
continue to nag him – among
them, the $12.4 billion in oil
earnings that went missing
during his reign and his
annulment of the June 12, 1993
presidential election – had been
resolved. That must be news to
most Nigerians.
Then he introduced an angle
that, depending on one ’s
perspective, was either a stroke
of genius or a mark of the
hollowness of his credentials. He
sought to juxtapose his legacy
against Obasanjo ’s, seeking to
persuade his audience that the
latter was the worse “leader.”
In a country where no politician
ever takes responsibility for his
or her failings, Babangida
described the charges against
him as “trumped up.” Then he
took the discussion to a
comparative terrain.
“ After all,” said the ex-general,
“people died in Odi. You know
how many people died there,
not long ago? Nobody is talking
about that, but talking about
Babangida and Dele Giwa. ”
Sensing that he had hit upon a
profitable line, the soldier in
Babangida pressed the
advantage.
“You’ve been reading the
reports from the National
Assembly. People stealing
billions; nothing has happened
so far. But when you talk about
corruption, then there ’s this
somebody from a village called
Minna who institutionalized
corruption. ” He continued: “It
may interest you to know:
What my government got in
eight years is what the
democratic government of my
elder brother Obasanjo got in
one year as revenue. ”
Having made his case,
Babangida might have
permitted his audience to
consider the evidence and
reach its verdict about the two
men. Instead, seized by a sense
of entitlement, he went ahead
to spell out our debt to him. “I
believe I should be
commended for managing
scarce resources. You travel all
over the country. You can see
Abuja, you can see Third
Mainland Bridge, you can see
Kaduna-Kano [road], Kaduna-
Abuja [road]; you could see
states being created and people
now have a place they call their
own – all within that meager
resources.”
The devil deserves his due. The
truth is that Babangida ’s oblique
reference to Obasanjo’s
corruption and squandermania
is hard to contest. In fact,
Obasanjo ’s eight-year tenure
seemed driven, on some level,
by a perverse determination to
beat Babangida ’s regime in all
the dubious categories:
corruption, the arrogant
privatization of public resources,
and the manipulation of the
instrument of power to reward
friends and victimize foes,
perceived or real.
Yes, Babangida will always be
remembered for the unsolved
mystery of the parcel bomb
that terminated Giwa ’s brilliant
career as a journalist. Obasanjo,
on the other hand, will be
bracketed with the equally
heinous assassinations of Bola
Ige, Harry Marshall, and A.K.
Dikibo, among others.
Babangida invited opprobrium
on himself by annulling the
June 12 election. But Obasanjo
(and Atiku) pulled off a rigging
regatta in 2003, and then
Obasanjo shocked and awed us
on the way to setting new
rigging records in 2007.
Babangida is welcome to
fantasize that Nigerians owe
him credit for astutely
husbanding scarce resources.
Truth be told, the man owes us
an explanation about his
stewardship. What wizardry of
economic management
enabled him to purchase a
private jet, to own Rolls Royces,
and to sneer at the residents of
the valley of Minna from the
supercilious heights of his 50-
room hilltop mansion? What
lottery did he win to account for
his astonishing wealth? How
does his stupendous fortune
square off with Nigeria ’s
economic misfortunes? The
historical record is that
Babangida unleashed a so-
called structural adjustment
program that sapped life out of
the citizenry and pauperized
the middle class.
Obasanjo’s tragedy is to have
set himself the goal of
modeling himself after
Babangida. Like Babangida, he
fitted himself with an obscene
mansion dominating the hilltop
of Abeokuta. Like Babangida,
he tried to reduce Nigeria to the
size of his desires. He strived,
like Babangida, to illicitly
perpetuate himself in power. He
was prepared to gut the
Nigerian constitution in order to
allow him to remain in power.
In his AIT interview, Babangida
sought to burnish his political
credentials by arguing, in effect,
that Obasanjo was worse in
corruption and in human rights
abuses. It was one mediocrity
pointing a finger at another
mediocrity and exclaiming,
“ You’re more mediocre.”
Whether Obasanjo was a more
disastrous head of state than
Obasanjo is a judgment call. I
believe that more was
expected of Obasanjo, and so
his disappointing performance
had more dire reverberations.
But Obasanjo is not threatening
to return and lord it over us;
Babangida is.
In a credible election,
Babangida stands no chance. He
must know it, too. His campaign
has been a bazaar of missteps
and miscues. He chickened out
of a much-heralded rally in
Ibadan. His campaign website is
plagued by negative
comments. Many of his
erstwhile associates won ’t be
caught dead in his company.
Babangida’s presidential dream
is fueled by a species of hubris,
a disdain for the sensitivity of a
people whose political and
economic lives he helped ruin.
In a way, his decision to run
provides Nigerians a great
opportunity to tell him how
little – despite his inflated
image of himself – they think
of him.
My suspicion is that Babangida
and Obasanjo are locked in
some vain psychological
brinksmanship. There ’s a chance
that Babangida is dismayed by
Obasanjo ’s acquisition of hilltop
mansion in Abeokuta that rivals
the one in Minna, or begrudges
Obasanjo and his coterie those
billions in oil revenue that were
stolen between 1999 and 2007.
There’s no question that
Babangida believes himself to
be less bad than Obasanjo. But
Nigerians deserve a good – if
not excellent – leader, not a
demonstrably bad one who
brags that his record is not as
wretched as another ’s.
Nigerians don’t owe it to
Babangida to award him
another opportunity to gamble
with their destiny or to continue
his macabre tug of war with
Obasanjo.

Ibime
I agree with you, he was not the cause of the Kidnapping in the SE but he did not do much to curb the spread. Even in cases where he could ve taken advantage and make a mark he just couldn't. I gave an example of a boy from Enugu state, his home state who was kidnapped by a police officer who was already under investigation for another kidnapping. This officer lived in the house of another officer who was notorious for doing any politician's bidding. When this officer was arraigned by Onovo after the other had absconded and the boy's parent writing a million petition to him. What did onovo do? He rather succumbed to the pressure from dept senate president Ike Ekweremadu who was a beneficiary of the officer's notoriety and released the police officer even though the boy in question was still at large for almost a yr after moving him across the states of southeast and southsouth.
Just imagine ppl playing politics with a kid's life. Abeg 4get that man onovo. Are we talking of the close to 1300 extortionist checkpoints he allowed in the states of SE which was not doing anything but extortion. Abi we wan talk of the case of 13 prisoners that were shot dead in Anambra that he was petition several times for and did nada.The guy is not progressive and lacks any sense of urgency abeg. Make im go sit don.

Studio
hahahaha. . . Trust Me, I will beat Terry G in any Chick contest. . Lol. . .nigga aint got it!

Fact is that Adaeze is way too young to go into marriage, she is still thesame impressionable kid that I saw on TV embarasse herself in a Wande Coal concert.
She looks like she hangs around overgrown babies like herself that do nothing than talk abt lipsticks and body cream shiiit. Seriously, it is possible marriage pressure is making her do all manner of shitt to remain young, she probably must ve seen finer gals hang around her husband and got insecure and then started altering herself. Like I said b4, sth abt that pic of her face, pouting her lips in the car strikes a resemblance with MJ back in the days when he was caught in dsame matrix. I just hope they don't leave her to stay all by herself. Kini Omo de mo!

Guyz pls no1 should reply or say anything to this id!ot, pls, I will like that the quality of contributions so far be maintained. Let him say what he likes as long as no1 responds and derails the thread with him. Pls pls and pls esp to all my igbo coleagues.

Hahahaha. . . . I just dont know why ppl pay this junky any mind. That guy is literally a nutcase. I was watching one of those Nigerian American wanna-be programmes where a crew of cameramen and TV personalities go to celebs house and they show them around their homes and talk shiiit abt the house on tv. This guy was at Terry G's house, a rickety house in one of those dungeons in Lag and all this !diot could do was take the cameramen to the back of the house, where he and a host of other ruffians and ragamufis were treating themselves to a variety of liver scorching spirits (kparago, gingeroot, monkeytail andd et al) and smoking canabis(igbo) like they were in a competion. Some of the ruffians looked hypnotized and far gone into their own world. It was a sorry site and they were all misbehaving yelling ginger shiit. . . I was just lafin all through that clip, funny shiit i must say. . Lol. . .by the way, thought dude was lying in coma in the hospital in another thread. . . Lol. . That guy needs rehab walahi!

Gbawe
While I agree with you that the appointments were out of political expediency, I do not see your point in demonizing GEJ. I would rather settle for GEJ than risk the possibility of another IBB and Atiku.
And pls stop complaining, this is politics, the game is not fair not even the US with all their claims of democracy. We all witnessed in 2000 Bush vs Al Gore it was not fair but damn it Bush became president. What do you expect GEJ to do with the likes of IBB in the picture who is ready to do anything to oust him out of Aso rock. The rules of the game is: 'You either shape up or ship out' there is no Mr nice guy here, everyone is playing dirty both the accuse and the accuser, so 4ck the rules.
Mikeansy
I was also not weary of the ppl that comprises our Forces until Dambazua and his cohorts pulled a fast one on us and undermined their boss's authority and sent a whole 300 soldiers to recieve a comatose YARADUA. For what na? Was he in any serious security danger? Were they trying to rescue him from the enemies in a combat? What exactly was the purpose of secretly releasing a war chest like that if not to serve as a gesture to pass a message of who was in control and yet you think I was demonizing the force. Guy you need to check history again abeg.
GEJ understands the risk of letting those men hang around the force, in the hand of the wrong ppl, those men will do anything. All you need to do is appeal to their taste citing numbers and place of origin and you will see them do the unthinkable that are better imagined than experienced.

Total Rubbish, your maid can run Nigeria, my bet she runs your life, your just rambling all about, FYI there is a power roadmap unveiled by the president in lagos, there  is committee overseeing that headed by Prof Barth Nnaji an accomplished Nigerian, Nigeria is worth nothing I see the reason  why you bolted outta the country, if its worth nothing why are you complaining, why don't you change your nationality, maybe you don't know http://www.nigeria.gov.ng/ that's the website for the Nigerian government, please before you start bashing try and research all the lame complaints you posted here weren't created by Jonathan so spare the man, You just a brainless spineless man who instead of contributing his quota decides to bolt, I pity you

. . .this is exactly why I like Nairaland, just when you want to dazzle us with hear-say and half-truths, sb just comes in and puncture your soufflé. . .well on point my brother, I was going to reply him but then again this is just enuf, cant get any better than this. Thank You!

This is a strategic move that will see the announcement of his interest to run for the president.
Am sure GEJ is trying to avoid a situation where these Army Chiefs of northern extraction will match soldier boys to Aso Rock and force him to sign a document that will see him end his tenure after 2010.
Remember what these same men did during the Yaradua/KSA saga, these men undermined his authority and usurped his position and sent over 300 soldiers in the thick of the night( serious take over style). They did not stop there, they further made sure he didnot see the Vagetables while they map out strategies to make sure he did not become president. IBB, himself had a record for doing thesame, the desperado overthrew his boss while he was away to attend an Ecowas meeting or so.
It must have dawned on GEJ that since the election timetable was already out, it was only a matter of time, he would make that decision he has been avoiding. And the wise thing to do especially at this critical time that he would be announcing his intention any time soon was to first remove these men whom I suspect may connive with IBB and repeat ugly history. Right move GEJ.
As for the guy thanking him for choosing an igbo man as chief that is so Naive. First GEJ knows at the moment that he can only afford trusted senior officials at the helms of affairs, it is not just because he is igbo alone but also coz he can be trusted and at thesame time swing goodwill and eventually votes from the SE to him, it is more of political expediency and calculation than appeasement. Besides, dont you see that he was wise enough to make sure every region was represented even the north.
Onovo was an embarrassing endeavour, a wasted slot for the igbos, imagine the IGP's own region being riddled with crime and yet he could not do anything to stop it. No sense of urgency or proactive measures to tackle the problem. The most annoying was the case of a boy in Enugu his home state who was kidnapped for over a year by men of the Nigerian police, the !diot was petitioned by the boy's parent, he could not do nada instead he allowed the deputy senate president Ike Ekweremadu(who also is 4rm Enugu) to prevail on him to release the prime suspect who was a police officer notorious for conniving with politician to do their bid. He only became alight when Jonathan threatened him after some journalists were kidnapped. Let's just keep our fingers crossed the battle has only just begun. Do you all notice the order of the elections time table, national assemblies election followed by presidential elections then state assemblies and finally guber. This is going to be interesting. I see more bad abt IBB emanating soön, it's high time GEJ started playing dirty if realy he is serious to run. I see this thread generating enormous traffic. . Lol
