will the game be on super sports?

judyeze1: Adeboye, oyedepo,kumuyi may be the presidential candidate of NCP

Musiwa those people are making as much money from their gullible flock as politicians already, except maybe Kumuyi.

donphilopus: MODs! Is this topic not misleading?? Are we now allowed to edit the "subject" of any thread, after copying it from somewhere else?? If NO, why did the OP of thiss thread change the "topic"??

Is there any rule that says you must use the exact topic from your link word for word? He used his own discretion, deal with it!

Olaolufred: While many Nigerians believe that APC may not be the Messiah they are expecting,
[size=18pt]They must know that the choice of taking Nestle Milo when we no longer desire Bournvita makes Unilever a better innovator.
[/size]All that is happening(strict competition) will turn for Nigerians a good thing.
I just wish that Nigerians won't be fools they had always been(at least our actions proves that to politicians).
When the same power that I was promised to be stable in 2003 is still epileptic in 2013,
Is it not a curse if Nigerians do not have another choice?
If we were born in 1999, aren't we as a nation supposed to be growing?
NIGERIANS SHOULD THINK.

Neither Milor nor Bournvita is produced by unilever bro, but hey, I get your point.

The kingdom of darkness will fight Lies, Fornication - Satan.

OPC.NAIRALAND:
Crazy people in America get amnesty like ex militant in Delta.

In America govt pay them disability check, make sure their rent is paid and they have pocket money, plus their healthcare is free and they do not have to work at all. They can look for job but they are not obligated to work. Like this Nigerian dude, he wants to get paid, thats all it is, this is the new scam I guess!

You cannot make their medical records or disclose their insanity publicly, therefore the person next to you in the restaurant might be on a looney watch list but you wont know. They enjoy life better than anybody in America.

He is only required to do two things. Take his prescribed medicine regularly and keep his assigned therapist aware of his whereabout.

The ones that do it for business like this my Nigerian brother, they are wise, every now and then they flare up. Thats to send a reminder to govt to keep the check flowing to prevent casualty in the urban population.

HMMMM

There has not been power and when you threaten to disconnect
consumers, they tell you to hurry up with the
disconnection process

Very funny

See weed apologists allover the thread trying to defend their shît.

I have now confirmed that the oil wells in Etche were lost to Abia state.

Why can't these APC dogs be original for once? After stealing several PDP members you have now stolen sincere 9gerian's idea. What is the fifference between this thread and the one he created after Anambra elections?

Adewale4luv: hey did i hear u say 'oil in our backyard for his brothers' damn! plz b consistent for once in your life chap.today u turn a niger deltan next u are yoruba,this is d more reason others call we yorubas BATs cos we belong no where.God bless Yorubaland.

He has clamed Igbo a lot of times too.

Ngene-Ukwenu:
This guy is very brilliant! I love the way he chooses his words. Moreover this quote below would be the new propaganda I am loving this men!



Set Rivers people against the Ijaws, and bring on the game

I am wondering who they lost the oil wells in Etche to, Abia? Imo?

For how long will this people continue to bring shame to Nigeria? Kayode and Akinyele shame on you guys!

Donmams: Now that the G7 have officially joined the APC train (worry not, even Lamido and Babangida Aliyu will soon join), the plot to remove Jonathan in the 2015 elections should be underway immediately. There are 20 northern states (if you include Abuja) and GEJ will be hoping to get 25% of the votes in the north just as he did in 2011. However, this time, the difference is that GEJ no longer has the support of the G-7 governors who tactically engineered the required 25% of northern votes he needed to successfully rig the 2011 elections.
In addition, to show the world just how politically naive he is, GEJ decided to marginalize the entire South West in the scheme of his gov't in favour of the SE despite the fact that GEJ got over 70% of SW votes in 2011. Right now the SW, has aligned with the north and is set to deliver a crushing blow to the GEJ in 2015.
The objective for 2015 is simple. Deny Jonathan the much sought after 25% in the South West and North and the elections will be over in the very first round. No run off will ever be needed.
In 2011, the northern governors were in full support of Atiku before GEJ made the memorable threat to 'sink' the PDP ship with everyone on it if the northern governors refused to support him. Now the threat is no longer viable. The governors have left the PDP and have challenged GEJ to sink the Ship! Unfortunately for GEJ this time around, he's the only one on it!
The mistake the north made in 2011 was not coming out en masse to vote for the CPC by averaging a voter turnout of just 50% in the entire region. In 2015, just like the PDP managed to mobilize over 90% of the eligible voters of the South South and South East to vote, the north will make sure we mobilize over 95% of our eligible voters to vote out GEJ and the bandit party PDP in the 2015 election.
A 2/3rd majority in the 36 states plus Abuja means for the APC to win by landslide in 2015, the APC needs at least 24 states. The APC is guaranteed 25% in all but 2 northern states(Plateau and Benue). That makes 18 states. What is left to make up 24 states is just 6 states. Luckily, the north has aligned itself with the South West. As an added bonus, the SW with 6 states will provide the 25% needed to make up the balance. In addition, the governors of Rivers, Edo and Rivers are also members of the APC who will bring further votes in 2015. GEJ can have 100% of the votes of the South South and South East(minus Imo). It will make no difference.
If GEJ and his advisers had half a brain they would have told him that he could not afford to let the G7 governors flee. But as things stand, GEJ, and in extension the SS and SE is toast politically.
Never will the NORTH/SW AXIS TRUST THE SS/SE AGAIN

How does this long analysis lead to the progress of Nigeria? You said nothing about how APC will eliminate corruption and move Nigeria forward. Is it that you guys are just power hungry and nothing more? You will not trust the SS /SE axis again but you are celeberating Amechi's defection to your party.

nuclearboy: I would actually love the idea of Amaechi as APC flag-bearer!

1. The SS will have 8 years
2. Amaechi will so deal with the militants and these that have despoiled Nigeria (they are his current enemies)
3. The north (and SW) trust him and he will likely agree to serve one term
4. He will keep to agreement
5. He will disarm the SS and nothing will happen because Ijaw will then realise itsekiris, ikwerres etc won't support them
6. He is a performer who is also presidential in manner and eloquent
7. His romances prove he is detribalised and will be a bridge builder
8. He will definitely kick out GEJ and wow, prison is on the horizon for PEJ (not GEJ)
9 and 10 (double whammy). His investments into education in Rivers show he has a thinking head - there is NO bettter way to help the future than with education and he has proved he knows!

Whist Buhari is "the man", Nigeria is too complicated and ethno-religious for him right now with the hatred being currently stirred up! He's sat in the seat before and would really be best in like a PTF (advisory or supportive) position to someone like Amaechi!

Amaechi vs Jonathan would be a chess move that will put APC into the hall of grandmasters

Perfectly put!

Mynd_44: You will insult me and I will deactivated my account? I fail to see the correlation. That statement is silly(that being an understatement) and a show of the intelligence of the person who made it.

Your grammar is atrocious.

They will continue to fail with all these attacks.

DerideGull: You are an indelible disgrace to your family and a foolish Igbo man. The entire idiotic article or so-called open letter was directed to Ngozi who is a mere Deputy Superintendent of Police and PRO of Lagos State Police Command. The idiotic article further stated that police men and women in Lagos State are under the command of Ngozi. The young police officer named Ngozi Braide is neither the Lagos State Commissioner of Police nor second in command of Lagos State police command. She is doing her job as the PRO of Lagos State Police Command.

Bros you just wrote the first thing that came to my mind when I read this article, I mean why pick on a mere PRO? What power does she have beyond that of disemminating information? They are the first to scream ''it isn't about tribe'' when it clearly is. Why not attack the commisioner and deputy commisioner?

doc sholz: This post is the 2nd most meaningless thing I've read on Nairaland since I joined this forum

Which one is the first? The post funny sha

Just because the US predicted that Nigeria will disintegrate by 2015, everyone has been singing the same tune. People can't think for themselves again, because the whites whom they worship said it, it must happen. Fools.

Greatken007: I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE THAT CBN HAS PUT IMO STATE ON THE LIST OF ''NO BORROWING''..HER INTERNAL DEBT IS ABOVE 100 BILLION NAIRA,SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE BISHOP BRIBED SANUSI OF CNB FOR THAT BAN?MIND YOU AM NT A CATHOLIC BT THE BISHOP CANT BE SAYING THAT IF THE GOVERNOR WAS ACTALLY WORKING,INFACT A CATHOLIC BISHOP DOES NT NEED ROCHAS' MONEY TO SURVIVE,THEY LIVE FINE AND COMFORTABLY

That is a big lie. Give us a credible source of that information.

The Prseidency stuff is not our problem, we should first of all get the governors to work with the little they have, our private investors should begin to invest more in Igbo land creating jobs in the process, then we can collectively campaign for more federal government presence in the South East.
@Pabloanus the reason why the Gwaris, Yorubas and Hausa aren't building houses in Igbo land is the same reason why they aren't building in other parts of Nigeria outside their region. A yoruba man working in the oil industry in Port Harcourt or Eket and earning millions will rather live in a self-contained with his family there while building houses in his state / region, same goes for Hausas. But the Igbos freely build houses in any part of Nigeria they find themselves as long as they have made enough money to do so. Many of the Igbo top earners in the oil industry in Port Harcourt have houses of thier own, while the Yorubas live in rented houses, even an Igbo trader who has made enough money in the north, feels free to build a house there. So if you are wondering why the Yorubas and Hausas aren't building in Igbo land, you should first of all wonder why they aren't building in other parts of the country outside their region. Look closer home for your answers, it isn't an Igbo thing.

PabloAfricanus: [s]
Hahaha...atleast read with comprehension.
Now if you will read slowly...its a long post.

I'm sure you are aware the oil producing states have been doing some long term thinking.
And they have come to the same interesting conclusions the Northerners came to decades ago.
The two prizes in the Nigerian state today are the Presidency and the petrodollars.
Control that and you can leave the rest for any agitator.
The Igbos are still confused about the whole Presidency thing and seem not to be able to articulate
a common and coherent political agenda to actualizing anything in the Nigerian state.
You must know that the SS minorities treat the SE like a "big brother"...sure they'll rant and deny it
but that's the status quo. Cos they know the SE have bigger numbers and a bigger representation
at the Federal level.
My point, if the SE does not lead the Eastern Nigeria and the "artificial (yes it is)" SS who will?
Who will realize political gains for the SE and by proxy the SS?
The Yorubas or the Fulanis?
Who will fight for and win political victories that COUNT & MATTER for the general development
of the SE region?
That does not mean the SS can't fight for themselves on their own, but you and I know how
grateful GEJ is for Igbo support.
Having said that, the SS have largely lost faith in the leadership from the Igbos and are quite vocal about it.
So with the Igbos not providing political leadership for the region, the derivative gains and pains are actually
felt round the region. Imagine the SS states without oil. There is literally little or no other
industrial activity going on over there.

Why I posited the Igbos are "an obstacle" to Nigeria's development is this:

The northerners have held the helm for like 3 decades plus...results...abysmal.
The SW under OBJ atleast made some efforts.
But then it has been noted corruption and graft has metamorphosed into something
worse than what was obtained under military leadership.
Only the SE have not produced a tenant in Aso Rock and this IS A MAJOR BARGAINING CHIP
which sadly the Igbos are not using well.
Now the SS have tasted the food cooked by Aso Rock chefs
and seem to like it very much.
From what you and I already know, it will be highly probabilistic for the Igbos to expect
the Ijaws to hand over the presidency to them come 2015 or beyond.
That is assuming the SW and Middle Belt are not in the picture.
So if the Igbos do not gain the presidency, that amounts to NO MEANINGFUL ALLOCATION
FOR FEDERAL PROJECTS IN THE SE, NO SUBSTANTIAL FEDERAL PRESENCE IN THE SE beyond what is
there now. And the cycle of NO-DEVELOPMENT just continues.
I could be wrong, but the top Federal unit in the SE to me is the 82nd division.
So the Igbos are likely to be gamed out of the power calculations...again.
I sincerely hope you don't believe big political appointments are the answer to your regions problems tho.

The solution?
The Igbos need to sit down and REACH A WORKING COMPROMISE with the Yorubas and Northerners.
They need to play the middle man and call the SW and Hausa/Fulani back to the drawing board.
Why do I reason so?
1) The Yorubas are Nigeria's best ethnic players bar none. They know it themselves.
They will rather wait for some one else to make the move, then they "analyse and oppose".
If it falls out it favours them, they will fall in line. If not, they'll sabotage it openly and discreetly.
If you bug them to offer solutions, they'll either ridicule you or create chaos and anarchy to make a point.
Any solution they come up with can only be implemented in their region...not that bad though,
but all in all not good for the Nigerian state.

2) The Northerners are contented with Islam, what their imams tell them and whatever crumbs their leaders
throw at them. Really VERY FEW of them are worried. Why should they? They have the biggest land mass,
(not completely sure) the best arable land, the majority of the meat consumed in the South comes from the North.
Also, they have seen and become convinced that they are more politically savvy than the South.
Not to mention the population to boot.
So the Northerners only care about a Muslim from the North sitting in Aso Rock and protecting the interests
of the Sultan and his minions. That is while maintaining the South as a chattel appendage.

3)The Igbos have fallen in love with Nigeria, alas, can't say the reverse is also the case.
The Biafra ranting not withstanding, you know most Igbos have come to realize the huge potential of the Nigerian
state and can't wait for Nigeria to fully accept them for who they are.
They are the top ethnic group bar none who dare go to places where others fear to tread.
They are both willing and ready to live anywhere and mingle with little reservations with the local communities.
The state of development in most NE,NW,SW states is directly comparable to the SE states.
But few if any Yoruba,Gwari, Hausa or Fulani man will be caught buying land and moving with his entire family and extended family relations
to Obioma-Ngwa,Okigwe,Ohafia or Ogidi. That means working and living there at the same time.
At an aggregate level, the Igbos seem to know and understand the other ethnic groups better than they do the Igbos.
So, IMO, the Igbos seem to be the major ethnic group that has yet to contribute to national leadership.
Zik and Ironsi were inhouse observers in my opinion and didn't really make much impact.
In closing, the ONUS falls on the Igbos to PLAY PROPER POLITICS AS THE EQUILIBRATING FACTOR(which I think they are)
in the Nigerian major ethnic group equation...and WORK OUT AN AGREEMENT TO SET THE COUNTRY ON A MUTUALLY
BENEFICIAL COURSE.
If they fail to do so, they should calmly stop agitating, take whatever is dished them by those who fight for and win
the prizes that matter in the Nigerian state...and take it in good faith when their own brothers start denying their ancestry.
My 2 cents.[/s]

Pure crap! So because the Igbos haven't had their fair share of Nigerian leadership it means they are the ones holding the country back? Once they are left behind like you suggested, the north and south west will suddenly start producing credible leaders that will take the country forward? How does that work?

I want to start going to that church, not the churches that happily receive stolen millions from politicians every Sunday.
I just hope the cleric didn't say all that because Rochas hasn't been donating millions to his church.

I am neither a fan nor a hater of Rochas, but the man said he hasn't borrowed a single kobo on behalf of Imo state. So far, I have had no reason to doubt him.
