Ceah: I just change the BB Integrity Vanguard Group Status to:

It's time to get back to work. We can Reach the more than 100 Million subscribers in 4days by send 1000 sms each daily and asking them to send to 10 Friends Each concerning the Buhari/Bakare Ticket. Here is a Sample sms - "Vote Buhari/Bakare for Presidency 2011. Vote CPC for a corruption-free Nigeria. Our logo is a PEN in a FLAG. God bless Nigeria. God bless you all."

Guys! Let do same and i know and believe we can reach the 100 gsm million subscriber, a ripple effect can be light speed fast than a bang

9ijaMan: I'll be mobilizing friends and colleagues over here to send text messages to as many Nigerians as possible who are on our contact lists. We will be meeting at my house and we'll do the massive texting for most part of tomorrow.

I've been reading about bulk text messages being sent out by Buhari supporters on behalf of Buhari since the beginning of this thread yet I haven't received any such messages. Nor has anyone I know received any such SMS or is it that these text messages are only going out in the North?

Hope you guys know Ayatollah Bin Buhari has the impossible task of winning 25% of votes in 2/3 of the states to emerge as President?

Meanwhile the ACN is flooding the whole of Nigeria and particularly the South West with text messages as the one below. . .I've received 4 of such ACN text messages in the past 2 days and non from CPC.

Something tells me the Ayatollah won't even be runner-up in this election. . ._{just like we witnessed in the NASS elections} Y'all had better wake up and smell the coffee. The Ayatollah will be trashed as surely as India will trash Namibia in a game of cricket come Saturday

According to the party, Jonathan is the only candidate that met the party’s criteria of level-headedness, humility, cognate experience, sound educational background, selflessness, passion for national integration and conciliation.

National Chairman of the Party,  Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, who announced the endorsement after its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in the presence of Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, and Bayelsa State governorship candidate of the party, Timi Alaibe, said the party desired for Nigeria a president with democratic credentials.

The party’s position came as Governor Olusegun Mimiko said “President Jonathan has demonstrated capacity to rise against some of the undesirable trends of his party.

“For the first time, Nigeria conducted an election and the world is commending us. The success of the election is predicated upon Jonathan’s resolve not to interfere with the work of INEC.”

“He has proven to Nigerians that he can rise against the very bad traits of the PDP. That is why I feel comfortable with this endorsement”.

Continuing the Labour Party Chairman said Nigeria had grown past the era of experimentation and gambling in its consideration for the election of candidates into the office President. According to him, superficial sentimentality, ethnicity, religious affiliation and other mundane issues must not be factored into the process of electing a President for Nigeria in the modern world.

He said:  “The Labour Party is of the strong view that the next President of Nigeria must be a person whose commitment to the rule of law and due process can be trusted and relied upon.

“A lawless society breeds anarchy and stifles economic development. Nigeria needs a President that has the will power and moral rectitude to insist on the rule of law, fight against corruption, human rights, citizenship rights, security of life and property etc.

“Nigeria requires a President who will not hesitate to sanction any erring officers who through actions of omission or commission fail to deliver on their specific responsibilities. Democracy demands openness and transparency.[/b]

mikeansy: I thought they did 6months ago?

Barely 72 hours to the presidential elections, the Labour Party has endorsed President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

According to the party, Jonathan is the only candidate that met the party’s criteria of level-headedness, humility, cognate experience, sound educational background, selflessness, passion for national integration and conciliation.

National Chairman of the Party,  Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, who announced the endorsement after its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in the presence of Ondo State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, and Bayelsa State governorship candidate of the party, Timi Alaibe, said the party desired for Nigeria a president with democratic credentials.

“Nigeria requires a President who will not hesitate to sanction any erring officers who through actions of omission or commission fail to deliver on their specific responsibilities. Democracy demands openness and transparency.

“The NEC of our great party put all the presidential candidates for the 2011 Presidential election on the scale of the above criteria. NEC unanimously arrived at the conclusion that President Jonathan met all the requirements stipulated above and towered head and shoulder above other presidential candidates.

“NEC therefore endorsed President Jonathan and recommends him to all Nigerians to be elected as President on the 16th April 2011.”

On allegations by former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, that Labour Party leadership collected inducements of N3billion to endorse Jonathan, Nwanyanwu said  “We don’t respond to idle talks. We don’t have time. The ACN  made several efforts for us to endorse them, it never worked out because we have our own agenda.

“We will not allow anybody to add, subtract, and enforce anything on us as a party because agenda is not the same”.

How old is she with that skin? 23?

holu27: I can't stop wandering why it has to be the privileged few or the son's of past public office holders that have to come and sanitize our society or chart new courses for the Nigerian youths. Seems, every other person, irrespective of their level of intelligence have no place in the development of this Nation Nigeria.

Very True!!!

I'm pretty sure there are more siblings of past public office holders who contested in the National Assembly Elections and many more will still contest in the State Assembly Elections.

Olumide Osoba (the son of former Governor of Ogun State, Olusegun Osoba) also contested the National Assembly Election in Ogun state. I'm assuming he won since his party the ACN swept the state.

Olumide was my senior in Secondary School and I know him quite well so I have no problem with him winning. It's always good to have friends in high places

_{WOW! Just discovered I've hit 7000 posts with this comment}

Jarus: There is nothing wrong in using a platform like NL to articulate your views and project your image and ideas.
Of course, that doesn't mean 99% of the work is not in his Ibadan constituency.

Hmmm, I looked into my crystal ball and it told me our very own Jarus will be running for political office in the not too distant future

For the outcome, come and see me with a Ghana-Must-Go

Alj Uche: mods please warn or ban this poster

i really do not want to start

please ban this poster infact, he has been following me about with insults and abuses

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=217644

Hehehehehe

Now now you don tire on top something wey you start

Anyway, I'm through with you. Just be good, ignore my posts and I'll do the same otherwise. . . . . . . .

Alj Uche: The Ndigbo has a lot to gain if Ribadu or Buhari enters as the next president because zoning still exist in the minds of Nigerians.

Ohaneze has put us Ndigbo in the worse political situation in resent times, but if Ngige wins we can push for political relevance but in the western Nigeria and ACN as a party

The new political game that has to be played by our igbo elites is to make sure Jonathan loses and Ngige wins the senatorial seat.

By 2015 if Buhari keeps to his words, not only would we have ACN fielding Ngige as a presidential candidate or VP but also we can truly fight for our place in Nigeria economic centre of Lagos because of the ACN.

Moreover we still have PDP and APGA still in the bag as a backup plan.

Please air your thoughts on this Ndigbo

How come you're now Ndigbo today?

Mooron that thinks he's entitled to something on a privately owned forum just because he's Kanuri and his ethnic group ain't represented.

Federal character my foot!!!

Mkpotu:
The heading should be rephrased to be: Oluremi Tinubu the first Lagos Female Senator.

A lot of women have been in the senate (with or without court cases) and even in the just concluded election women have equally made. Women like Nenadi Usman, Chris Anyanwu, Nkechi Nwogu etc.

@Poster, rephrase!
