PoliticsRe: Nigerian Military Plans To Establish Interim Government- Prof. Wole Soyinka by shaqhead: 12:34am On Mar 19, 2015
barcanista:
Who and who are the ex-Generals? Which Political contestants are they pushing? Is Soyinka out of touch with trend or Old age is telling on him? While I respect his status as a Nobel Icon, I will advice him to critically look at merits and demerits of subject before going public with his position. His position is flawed.

As for the reporting of PEJ to ICC, I understand that Soyinka never liked PEJ because he was/is sympathetic to Amaechi, however, reporting Dame to ICC when nobody has been reportedly attacked or stoned as a result of her "miscalculated statement" will amount to nullity. What about the various threats from Buhari team notably from their chieftains and spokesman? what about the stoning of President Jonathan that amounts to treason? He said nothing!!!

Prof, there will be no ING...


I am not on this thread to bandy word with any bitter and aggressive supporter of a particular party.

Sad as it may seem, I don't think Buhari has a chance of winning this election, considering the huge propaganda against him in newspapers, television stations e.t.c. Also Buhari must have shot himself in the foot by threatening to remove the office of first lady(which is the dream of every woman), as many ladies I know are afraid of voting him into power, that's 50% of all votes! Jonathan is using huge blackmail and spending a lot of money on this election(s), I don't think there is a chance of escaping violence.

You obviously have no idea how INEC perpetrate this fraud.

Have you heard of protests against Jega in Enugu, Abia, Imo, Anambra, Lagos by people denied access to their PVCs?. Two INEC officials were caught red-handed in Lagos refusing to hand-over PVCs to persons not indigenous to Lagos. Fortuantely, they were punished and dismissed.

Under-aged voters have been caught on camera being registered in the north. How many INEC officials have been punishsed in the North East and North West for registering under-aged voters?.
Mr. you cant rule out such characters who want to make a quick buck in d gatherin of twelve but dnt make it seem like d situation is dt bad dt n we need to go for Jega's jugular n label him an accomplice in an attempt to rig!

If it was so d PDP wl hv shouted our roofs off.

Maybe people who registerd in one of d largest wards (Maisandari in Maiduguri) in Nigeria who uptil ds moment of typing this have nt taken delivery of dia PVC, shd also shout dt JEGA wnts to rig! You cn read frm d below link.

If Abraham is a jew he will give birth to jews. This is a matter of lineage. The Bible clearly states that the bond child will not have an inheritance with the child of the promise.

Abraham the father of faith was jewish! Moses the deliverer of jews from Egypt was jewish! He was also recorded as the one who said "another prophet like him would come" and that the israelites should listen to him.
If another like moses would come, that makes it Jesus since he was a jew and the one by whom men are delivered from their sins!
Please where does mohammed, an arab from the lineage of ishmael who Abraham under God's direction kicked out of his house with his mother hagar now come in. God clearly states that the child of the bond (slave) woman will not partake in his inheritance or promise. Where does mohammed come in in this story to come and start claiming to have any connection to Jehovah God and His plan for saving humanity? !
Why build ur submission on a faulty foundation?
One: Abraham was NOT jewish or Israeli but Hebrew
Abraham was a Syrian by birth and is referred to as such in the Bible. Even Jacob, his grandson, is still referred to as a Syrian in Deuteronomy 26:5.The word Hebrew is first mentioned in Genesis 14:13, where Abraham is called Abram the Hebrew.This word comes from the Hebrew root word"Abar" and means simply "to cross over". Abrahamcrossed over into the promised land and became the first Hebrew. Since Abraham was a Hebrew, his descendants were also called Hebrews. Strictly speaking all of Abraham's descendants are Hebrews. This would include the descendants of Ishmael, who are the Arabs today. Also, the descendants of Esau, the grandson of Abraham, call Edomites. But by common usage, this name is applied to the nation of Israel only.Abraham was a Hebrew, but he was not an Israelite, nor a Jew. The first Israelite was Jacob, thegrandson of Abraham.

Jega's only aim is to install a northerner as president before leaving office. 98% PVC collection recorded in North East and North West?. But 68% in South South and South East?. His body language gave him away too quickly.
Rily? N he dd all ds right under d nose of d incumbent n none shouted murder in d PDP?
N in ur weird analysis only dose 98% of d North wl vote Buhari into Aso Rock?
Mr. when in d few seconds dt Buhari spoke during his campaign n interviews, he nevr forgets to tel evn d deaf to go get dia PVC but wat dd u get frm d PDP-character assasination on whoevr dt mentioned PVC...now its obvios we wl use it n here u r peddling regurgitated conjectures...

Mr. man JEGA wont take ur PVC to ur house n if u believe in either CHANGE or TRANSFORMATION it behoves on u to keep goin for ur PVC until u get it cz dts ur own small measure of sacrifice for wat u believe in.

I visited Onitsha recently n I overheard som folks conversing in Hausa dt dy wl b travelin back to dia different states in the North to get dia PVC. An ibo man playfully asked dt wat if he goes n its nt ready and one of them answerd witout batting an eyelid!

He said "I wl nt come back until I get my PVC".

This folks up North kno dt Politics controls d oil wells in d Niger Delta n only way to keep it flowin is remain politically aware and active.


Call a Northerner an Aboki or evn Shekau all u like but one very big advantage u hv to giv em credit for is political awareness cz dt dia radio always tuned to BBC is nt for show.

Look at d PVC collection rate of a very intelligent Southwest dt is a key component for d APC n is bn wooed by d PDP. Encouraging? I guess Jega also starved dem of their PVCs.

Yes there are challenges wt distribution but dt doesnt mean dt d whole process is flawed or biased just because u were caught napping!.

Subject: BE CAREFUL WHO YOU VOTE

BE CAREFUL WHO YOU VOTE FOR

Your future depends on your choice

Fellow Nigerians, we have Just few days to our elections and below are some
vital things we must consider before casting our vote.

1. Buhari killed Ben ogedengbe by a death penalty for a crime that didn't
carry death penalty when he committed it.

2. Buhari doesn't attend the Federal Council meetings yet collects his
allowances. Mr. Integrity indeed.

3. Buhari canceled former Governor Jakande's metroline and forfeited the
$50 million paid for it by the then Lagos State Government

4 Buhari used Violence to stop the September 1985 National Conference of
the National AssociatIon of Nigeria Students.

5. Buhari jailed Tai Solarin and denied him his asthma drugs simply because
he campaigned against military rule and for democracy.

6. Buhari Jailed Nduka irabor and Tunde Thompson for writing a truthful
report which embarrassed his Government

7. Buhari raided respected Papa Awolowo's house and seized his passport so
he couldn't travel out of the country. Was he also corrupt?

8.Buhari threw Former vice President Alex Ekweme in jail even though it was
proven that Ekweme never stole any money.

9. He jailed honest and respected pa Adekunle Ajasin.

10. He jailed Fela Kuti in I984 for singing against the dictatorial
tendencies of his Military Government

11 Doctors, remember that Buhari banned the Nigeria medical Association
(NMA)

12. Buhari stopped Ooni of Ife for traveling abroad simply because he
visited the holy land of Israel in 1984

13. He broke up press conference of ASSU in 1984 and detained four of their
executives

14 He jailed Beko Ransome Kuti who only demanded for the release of his
brother.

15 He jailed Dr. Sam Onunaka Mbakwe.

16 He jailed Awwal Ibrahim now the Emir of Niger State before IBB pushed
him aside.
Nigerians must be careful with what they wish for!

It is not really about whether they're Nigerians or not. APC supporters are claiming that the Federal Government under the leadership of president Goodluck Jonathan has not done anything for the past five years. However, these same people who claim that the government has not done anything for the past five years, are the same people who want to benefit from a federal government programme. If the government is not working, why don't you stay away and don't apply for the youwin programme?
U ddnt answr d qstn. Are they nt Nigerians? When GEJ rolls out any "empowerment programme", is he doin u n I a favour? Isnt that why he was elected? Or mayb those in the opposition shd caught off dia elctricity evnthough we kno d few number of hours our light bulb stays on!


If ALL a MAN does for his Wife is to FEED dt woman, what do u hear her shout wen a quarrel ensues; "Useless Man, after all what are u doin for me sef?" Does that mean she shdnt eat of d food he brings?

Oh yes our past leaders share a considerable bulk of the blame cake. Maybe if they had armed the military long before the GEJ administration rather than kill it like IBB and Abacha the apple eater, then MAYBE the Army would've had a fighting chance from the early start. I equally blame our Legal system/the judiciary. If only they had listened to the DSS about Muhammed, BH'S founder, and not acquitted him, then this mess wouldn't have occurred in the first place.

But I blame GEJ and the military top shots. Rather than purchase the much needed weapons on time, our soldiers armed with just plain pickups armed with just GPMGs and AKs were sent to face a numerically superior enemy heavily armed with HMGS, RPGs, AA guns, etc. No combat air support, no reinforcements. Even the best special forces unit can't face that onslaught
I get ur point as much as I dnt buy it becos it wl leave us wt mo qstions than answres:

Wl d blame game stop BH frm takin over a territory or

Wl d blame game stop d loss of thousands of lives or

Wl d blame game stop d ridicule we hv becom in d commitee of nations
