[b][size=28pt]This Program is not recognized under international law. It is considered as a mere visit. As far as international law see buhari visit. it is considered, that Buhari is just visiting another country. And which is independent country of the kingdom of Western Nigeria.

Basically international law see Buhari, amaechi, el rufia and others as people who are just visitors of in the independent country of the kingdom of Western Nigeria.

Nigeria or Goodluck Jonathan reserve the right to cancel Buhari election under international law. And that is what Nigeria did during June 12 election. Because of what Yoruba call Agburu.

Osibanjo father inlaw awolowo was a sturborn head man, like Osibanjo. Osibanjo is sturborn head.. Alagidi ni osibanjo. who does not want to agree with international law.
Lagos is not part of Nigeria.


Nigeria has no international power to collect any revenue from Western Nigeria.

Did you actually say basic rights for a rotten, wicked soul like Buhari who jailed journalists and activists for simply expressing opinions that are different from the military dictator's daft view on things
Under Buhari's Decrees 4 & 7 regime we would not even be able to disuss freely as we do on Nairaland.
God forbid that such a devious person comes back to rule us.
#NEVER AGAIN.

[size=14pt]Kids of today, thought as much. You obviously need to understand that the era was militarized and it's only normal for what he did to take place. Idi Amin made it clear when he said, "There is freedom of speech, but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech". It was a military era and not a democratic era. Please get yourself enlightened. I'd love to see what you would do if GMB becomes the president of beloved county. Say no to the petty sums being given and stand for what is right. I enjoy intelligent discussions and debates, but yours does not measure up to standard in any way. I apologize if you find my words insultive though [/size]

Buhari and APC are just TALK, mesmerising talk with no substance and NO record of performance by even their "best" governor to match such EMPTY, baseless talk.

We all know she wouldn't appear until they are voted out of Aso rock after March 2015. However, she does not need to appear but would be arrested and shipped down to the court since it's not Nigerian court that can be manipulated.

“Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace. She did not threaten anyone with violence; she did not incite anyone to commit violence or to kill others and her words have not resulted in death, mass murder or any crimes against humanity.

“We therefore completely reject the baseless charge and assertion that she has called for the killing or slaughter of anyone at any point in time.”

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has said that wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, will not appear before the International Criminal Court.

It said there was no basis for her to be reported to the international court in the first place.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.

Fani-Kayode was reacting to the claim by the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, that it had reported the President’s wife to the ICC.

Patience was reported to have told supporters of the PDP at its rally in Cross River State to stone anyone canvassing for change in the state.

“Change” is the slogan of the APC.

In its complaint to the ICC, the APC through its Director-General, Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the Governor of Rivers State, said the wife of the President was calling on the supporters of the ruling party to attack those of the APC.

But Fani-Kayode described Patience as a woman of peace, adding that her speech didn’t propel anyone to take to violence.

The former Minister of Aviation added that those that dragged the wife of the President to ICC were not educated on issue of international law.

He said if they were, they would have known that individuals were not taken to the court on the basis of their speech.

He said, “It is pertinent to note that, first of all, if they were a little better educated and had a better understanding of international law and how the ICC works, they would appreciate the fact that no individual is ever taken to the ICC based on what he or she has said unless and until people act on those words and massacre others.

“It is only if that speech is followed by violence and mayhem or if it incites people to commit violence, which results in death, mass murder and crimes against humanity, that the person who indulged in such hate speech becomes an eligible candidate for the ICC.

“Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace. She did not threaten anyone with violence; she did not incite anyone to commit violence or to kill others and her words have not resulted in death, mass murder or any crimes against humanity.

“We therefore completely reject the baseless charge and assertion that she has called for the killing or slaughter of anyone at any point in time.”

Fani-Kayode described the threat to take Patience to the ICC as not only absurd but also nothing more than an empty and boastful “ranting of a perfidious, desperate, decaying and dying political party and such threat will amount to nothing.”

He said that if anyone was to be taken to the court, it must be the presidential candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.).

Fani-Kayode also alleged that the APC was planning hate documentary on the private lives of the President, his wife and that of the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.

Nigerian troops at the 33 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, today concluded the dislodgment and clearing of Boko Haram terrorists from Lame/Burra forest, which traverse Ningi and Torro Local Government Areas of Bauchi State. A statement released by Nigeria Army spokesman, Colonel Usman Sani, disclosed that all the camps in the forest have been destroyed.

According to him, "During the operation that started since last weekend, quite a number of terrorists were killed, their weapons and equipment destroyed. Similarly, a sizable number of arms, ammunitions, food stuffs, Hilux vehicles, motorcycles and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were recovered by the troops.

"The recovery include 3 Hilux vehicles, 12 motorcycles, 4 AK-47 rifles, 1 Fabrique Nationale rifle, 1 Small Machine Gun (SMG), 1 Police Teargas pistol, 36 Primed IEDs, 56 rifles magazines, over 500 rounds of 7.62 milimetre ammunition, 6 jerrycans of groundnut and palm oil and several IEDmaking materials amongst others.

"It will be recalled that the forest has been notorious hideout of the BHT from where they organize raids, kidnappings and attacks on hapless and innocent citizens and security forces. With this the surrounding communities would enjoy increased peace and security in their respective areas." stated Col. Sanni.

The clearing of Lame /Burra forest follows rumors since yesterday that troops have retaken Bama township in Borno state, but Col. Sanni has yet to confirm that development.

Rapmoney:
Guy, try apply wisdom in this issue! So you want to tell me that you didn't know that it is just a mere political propaganda? I tell you, it takes more than what you posted to be an intelligent political observer!!!

One thing about the elections is that it's been spinning like a carousel. What were your comments like when the devilish documentary peddled with falsehood against GMB was aired? If the APC indeed has every evidence that points to the fact GEJ and his cabinet practice gay sex, then I see no wrong in airing it. Oh! And last I checked, "Propaganda" is always aimed at affecting the behaviours of people, which AIT and NTA have assisted GEJ and his camp to do towards GMB. Last I checked, gay sex is a crime. When then is FFK calling a media gathering if it is false Why not brood on this part of the post posted by the OP and try give me an objective interpretation.a

“We invited you here today to intimate the Nigerian people, through your esteemed media organisations, about a despicable and wicked agenda that is being orchestrated by the opposition to scandalise, undermine and bring into disrepute our candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan (GCFR), his wife, the First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan, our Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison Maduekwe and other key government functionaries and members of his administration.”

“The special operations and intelligence wing of my Directorate has been reliably informed that the opposition is planning to air a documentary about the private lives of President Jonathan, the First Lady and the Minister of Petroleum Resources.”

“The documentary is riddled with falsehood and it is vulgar, smutty, cheap, shameful and salacious. This initiative is being spearheaded by the entire leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and is being funded and organised by two serving governors and one former governor who controls his state through his hand-picked stooge.”

Government is still controlling these private companies. They can't just let go. The company could simply charge fees for the meter at 100 Naira a month. In effect, consumers do not necessarily own the meter. The monthly charge should pay for the meter over time. Another option is for them to charge 1000 Naira a month for ownership if they pay up at the end of 5 years or to pay up the whole 60,000 Naira. Most if not all rich people will buy it one time. But what happens if the meter broke? This is where renting the meter would have been a preferred option. I hope GEJ & PDP disappear from the center. Sai Buhari.

The cost of acquiring pre-paid electricity meters by consumers in the country has risen due to the fall in the value of the naira following the currency’s recent devaluation by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

A single-phase meter, according to findings by our correspondent, can now be obtained for N39,375, while the three-phase meter now goes for N60,909.

Before now, the single-phase and three-phase meters were selling for N25,000 and N50,000.

However, with the latest development, the cost of the single-phase meter has risen by 56 per cent, while that of the three-phase meter has jumped by 20 per cent.

This means that household electricity consumers, who are majorly the users of single-phase meters, will pay more for the devices in relative terms compared to the users of the three-phase meters.

Our correspondent gathered that the price increase was because most of the meters in the Nigerian electricity market were imported and that the rising exchange rate of the naira to the United States dollar was posing a huge problem to importers of the product.

For companies assembling the different components of the meters locally, the challenge is the same because foreign exchange is needed to import the components.

Confirming the current cost of the meters, the spokesperson for the Eko Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. Godwin Idemudia, said, “The single-phase smart meter is N39,375, while three-phase meter is N60,901,” adding that the company was no longer installing ordinary prepaid meters.

The spokesperson for the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company, Mr. Pekun Adeyanju, told our correspondent in a telephone interview that the company had not commenced its metering programme yet; but was looking at starting it on or before May.

He said the company was taking its time to ensure that the meters it would introduce to customers met global standard and could stand the test of time.

He, however, urged customers to be patient with the firm.

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Powercap Limited, Mr. Biodun Ogunleye, told our correspondent in a telephone interview that because Nigeria was largely a foreign currency regulated economy, the devaluation of the naira would affect imported commodities, electricity meters inclusive.

With the realities on the ground, he said there was no way the pricing of the meters would not be altered.

Ogunleye said, “A lot of inputs have to be imported, and ultimately, those inputs will be passed onto the consumers at the cost plus margins. As a result, the costs of bringing in meters will go up; and there is nothing anybody can do about it.

“It is a priority that must be implemented because the people who are operating in the market will be interested in maximising their revenue. They will not want to encourage any form of income leakages.”

He said by this, whatever pricing the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission had fixed would be revisited because it had a little choice as far as granting a review was concerned.

The Powercap boss added, “We have one or two local plants that can produce meters. The high foreign exchange may prompt the government to intervene, and thus make the business more profitable.

“But bear in mind that when it comes to meters like many other electronics, the specification and a couple of other factors between the distribution companies and the meter manufacturers must be adhered in order to drive patronage.”

He said EKEDC was looking at installing prepaid meters that could be monitored from its offices, adding that the move was targeted at ensuring that communication was enhanced between it and the meters, notwithstanding where they were installed.

A text message sent by our correspondent to the Chairman, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, to confirm the position of the agency on the matter was not responded to as of the time of going to press, just as a call to his mobile telephone line indicated that it was switched off.

However, the Chief Executive Officer, EKEDC, Mr. Oladele Amoda, during the company’s first quarter meeting with the media on Monday, said it was looking at investing $20m in providing meters to residential users as well as other smaller consumers of electricity.

For its key customer group, he said about $15m would be committed to meter provision, promising that over 300,000 meters would be installed by the end of the metering programme.

He failed. The ethnic card doesn't seem to work for most Igbos. I doubt it even works in any other area but his own.

anonimi:
Here you are

And when I said the Igbos would miss out in 2019, did I mention at any point that Nigeria will cease to exist

BestGovernance:
Your calculation for Osun is wrong. Jonathan might win the state with ease as Aregbesola's popularity is fading off

anonimi:
Are you wishing that our country will cease to exist in 2019

That wicked prediction is from the coven of witches and we reject it completely.

ovadoze:
Yoruba is playing the highest ethno religious card in this election, d major reason they re voting GMB in this election is because of Osibanjo in that ticket, on the other hand Igbos have nothing to lose or again in who wins, our support for GEJ is not based on ethnicism it is based on neutrality, Chekwas Okorie is running for presidency, yet Igbos are not supporting him. Even berem that created this post is Igbo and she's suPporting Buhari. I know that Ijaws can never support Igbos in any election in Nigeria, that is a topic for another day. We re just teaching Nigerians that we re above ethnicity, we voted Obasanjo against our own Ojukwu, but can Yoruba ever support an Igbo man? Don't answer cos I already know the answer.

Sorry, I beg to disagree, kindly look at the utterances coming from both camps and tell me who has been playing the ethno-religious card game better. The APC have not mentioned it during any of their campaigns that they should be voted based on this cancer. See some things below;

>Do not vote Buhari because he is surrounded by Christians and his Vice has over 5,000 churches. - Namadi Sambo
>He (Buhari) sent all the important people to jail, including your own. How much did Jim Nwobodo stole? Money that's not enough to buy a peugeot car - GEJ, while defending Jim Nwobodo before Igbos in Enugu.
>Buhari will Islamize Nigeria - CAN (through Pastor Bosun Emmanuel) and the PDP

So, tell me, who has been playing the ethno-religious card game better

Are you okay? This is my post from another thread

I'm sorry. I don't how I made the mistake. I didn't mean to quote you . I meant to quote Elsim and not you.

Spit on islam n its followers! SPIT!!!

Biko, let's respect the religion of others. We may have one or two reservations but it's better we keep them within us. I have exhibited this same disgust towards Islam but then I realized it's uncalled for. Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said "I like your Christ but I don't like your Christians. Their ideology is a bit messed up though

Dis is d fault of PDP, wen dem no gree give us light. RIP pikin jhoor. Thank God u don rest from naija trouble. de enjoy light de go for heaven!
