“I predicted the death of the mother of the first lady…Tinubu is next” – Pastor Chris Okafor Warns

By Kaymi on July 30, 2013

The General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation And Miracle Ministry, Chris Okafor has said he predicted the death of the mother of the first lady which recently happened.
It was said that the man of God predicted that, there will be death in the President’s household, and it was meant to take away someone close to them mysteriously but could be averted if they showed interest.

He has also advised Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to beware because some of his strong opponent have vowed to ensure that he will not see May 29, 2015.

Lastly, this one is for the people of Anambra State. Senator Chris Ngige is going to rule you again, the Pastor said.

Governor Peter Obi better be careful. I wish Tinubu good health and long life. Amen.

THE bid to adopt biometric registration by members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suffered a setback, as leaders of the party, at a meeting in Abuja, rejected the proposal by block votes.

Sources close to the party confirmed that the bid to adopt biometric registration of members nationwide was rejected by block votes from members of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP), thus defeating the agenda sponsored by members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC).

Loyalists of the former head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari, mostly from the defunct CPC, were said to have left the venue of the meeting in anger, having lost the bid for the adoption of biometric registration.

It was gathered that the interim national chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, attempted to pacify the aggrieved members when he told them that they needed to accept the position of the majority of members at the meeting, since the matter was resolved through voting.

The aggrieved members were said to have complained that the measure meant to sanitise the membership of the APC had been rejected.

They were also said to have been irked at the perceived gang up by the ACN and ANPP sections of the merger, as a source said the former CPC members would look deeper so as to forestall a repeat of such gang up on all issues.

Sources in the meeting, however, told the Nigerian Tribune that though Chief Tom Ikimi and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai championed the issue of biometric registration, other members of the APC executive were of the view that since internet penetration was low in the country, it would be counter-productive to adopt such a measure at this time.

“Leaders of the party felt that adopting biometric registration at this time would not work well for the party and that a number of members would be lost.

“Even the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) started e-registration sometimes ago and had to abandon it. Internet penetration in the country is still relatively low,” a source said.

I'm a Christian and i want to tell you that churches pay tax in developed nation. Google it friend!

I heard that Bishop met with OBJ last night on this issue. God help us.

Dominiquez: I for one know that APC has nothing good for Nigerians.
They just legalized abortion in Imo
Now they are demolishing churchs and school.

N/B Bokoharam means Western education is evil.

Let's wait for more from APC

This is what APC stand for!

Imo State Legalize abortion by "error".

Borno State to demolish Churches and 20 schools for 'suppose 1000 unit estate' that will eventually not see the light of the day.

APC keep it coming. E ma ba eru yin n'ibode.

mu2sa2: Saraki needn't bother about withdrawal of the police officers - after all he is the commander- in- chief of the murderous thugs in ilorin, which he and his deceased father created to "finish of" their real or imagined opponents. These armed and heavily funded native ilorin thugs should be deployed by saraki to guard his 1 billion naira house built by kwara state govt as part of his generous retirement benefits. The thugs will complement the 20-foot high concrete wall fence cowardly Bukola Saraki has erected around his house.

God bless u. This Bukola guy use Kwara State money to build a N1 billion mansion as ex-governor lodge backed by the Kwara State Pension Law of 2010 enacted by his dumb State House of Assembly. None of his predecessor did such?

One day the hunter will be the hunted. Saraki dynasty gradually crumbling in Ilorin, may it crumble and never rise again. The guy is stup!d and power drunk. His father never fought the power that be in his lifetime, how dare him lead Governor Fatai Ahmed, Baraje against GEJ and think he will survive. Very soon in his lifetime when he hear "Kwara" he will run. He think he can enslave Kwara State for another 40 years like his late father did? Thank God for fathers like Justice Mustapha Akanbi (rtd), Dr. Amuda Aluko et. al. He will soon be defeated. Amen.

It is called "SARCASM". Look it up.

‘Good morning, Man of God. Thank you for finally speaking on this issue sir.’

‘Welcome my brother, you are blessed. It is you I must thank for being very open-minded about this whole nonissue. I read your column last week and I must confess Nigeria is lucky to have people like you who still use their brain cells. The Lord be praised.’

‘Hallelujah. So, where do we start from?’

‘Let us start from the beginning. Praise the lord.’

‘Hallelujah. So, what was on your mind when you invited her to the terrace of your hotel suite?’

‘That’s not the beginning. It all started when I saw her in the congregation while preaching one Sunday; she was very vibratory, especially when taken over by the spirit doing praise and worship. Praise the lord. The spirit ministered to me that she would be useful in Pastoral Care. That was why I invited her to the unit. And she was very useful. Praise the lord.’

‘Hallelujah. By ‘very useful’ you are talking about your affair with her, right?’

‘No, we didn’t have an affair; we had an understanding. Praise the lord.

‘Really? Explain to me how that works, sir.’

‘Praise the lord. She understood that I am a Man of God with a weakness. I understood that she was a believer with an equal weakness. She understood that I was a married man; I understood that she was a willing woman. She understood that I could make her no promises of forevermore; I understood that she understood that by associating with me I would introduce her to a level of grace she was previously unaware of. ‘

‘Is this also the kind of understanding you had with others that led to your suspension in Ilorin and the 130 women you have slept with?’

‘Lie! Big lie! One hundred and thirty?!!! Haba, how could one man have done that, even with a never seen before level of grace? They just want to give my dog a bad name just to hang it. 120, I may accept, but 130? Never. When it is not as if I have a spare mobile penis that I charge with car charger. People should fear God when saying some things o. Praise the lord.’

‘Let’s return to her story. So, what were your intentions when you invited her to your hotel suite?’

‘Special deliverance, I swear. God sees my heart. I had heard some uncomplimentary stuff about her and had caught her looking at me somehow during Pastoral Care Unit meetings, so I knew I had to intercede for her to retain God’s glory in her life. Praise the lord. Even when I asked her to come to the terrace it was so we could get cool breeze during the deliverance. All was well until she sat on my laps.’

‘What happened when she sat on your laps after you invited her to do so?’

‘My weakness arose. And when we kissed…my brother, do you eat seedless grapes? That’s what her tongue tasted like, soft and succulent. What was I to do? You people don’t know how hard it is to pastor a Pentecostal church in Nigeria, especially in this Abuja! You are there teaching the word of God and what do you have before you? Gorgeous women with sly smiles; with breasts, big and small, chiseled upon their chests like those old wood carvings; lips like cherries; eyes speaking to your soul, telling you their desires. Ah, until you have walked in my shoes you are not qualified to judge me. Praise the lord.’

‘Is it true you had sex with her everyday for seven days?’

‘Zachariah 10. It’s a level of grace you can’t understand.’

‘Ask the Lord for rain in the spring for he makes the storm clouds. And he will send showers of rain so every field becomes a lush pasture.’

‘You know your bible. Praise the lord.’

‘Hallelujah. And what styles and positions were employed?’

‘One does not talk about such things but suffice to say we were quite experimental, you know, those things one doesn’t ask from a wife. Praise the lord.’

‘So I’m free to assume missionary wasn’t top of the list?’

‘God forbid. Praise the lord. In fact, it was because of experimentation that we had our first quarrel.’

‘Really? What happened?’

‘She wanted me to use my silk ties to tie one of her legs to the door knob and the other to the window…I thought that was too much of a spread so I declined and she took offence. It was during round 4 on Day 7. Praise the lord.’

‘You know sir, each time you say ‘Praise the lord’, what I hear is Praise the Rod. It seems to me that you spend more time doing the rod’s work than you do doing the lord’s work.’

‘Who died and made you judge? Don’t make proclamation about me if you don’t want the wrath of God. I’m a man of God, remember? Praise the lord.’

‘Is this also why you’ve refused to explain yourself to your congregation?’

‘They don’t need any explanation. They know me.’

‘We would have to end this interview on this note sir. Thanks again for your time. By the way, I don’t know your middle name?’

‘It’s Roderick.’

‘Say what?’

‘Roderick.’

‘RODerick? Perfect.

‘Praise the Lord.’

seanet02: He said the merger will fail but it did not.
So tell me something.

Wait and see!

Founder and Spiritual head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Babatunde Ayodele, has predicted victory for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 elections just as he said that President Goodluck Jonathan would not enjoy the support of PDP governors from the North.

The prophecy among others was contained in the 2013/2014 predictions of the renowned cleric presented to the public on Friday in Lagos.

“Despite the fact that the PDP party will break up, it will still win the 2015 elections.

“President Jonathan will win the presidential election for a second term and he must pray to avoid taking a wrong step,” he said.

He revealed that,“The move to reconcile the northern PDP governors will fail while the president needs prayer to sustain his health.”

The cleric also warned of crisis in the land as a result of the 2015 elections and added that the President will lose the support of notable South West politicians.

In reference to the merger of opposition parties under the banner of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Primate Ayodele said, “the ACN, APGA, ANNPP and CPC merger will fail.

“Let us pray fervently for Nigeria natural resources and sharing formula will cause disaffection. Let us pray against bloodshed in the country,” he urged Nigerians.

He said this in June 2013 when no man envisage PDP break-up. He said PDP will break-up but GEJ will win 2015 and Nigeria will never be the same (war tinz).

The Nigerian political firmament was hit hard at the weekend with the emergence of a headline many had been waiting to read for years now: the breakup of PDP.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar had led six governors out of the Eagle Square venue of the national Convention in protest against what they termed some undemocratic tendencies.

The governors, who joined Atiku to the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja for the formation of the New PDP as they christened it included Muazu Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso (Kano), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto). They constituted the G5 governors who recently went round the country in search of the peace option. But not a few PDP members were convinced that the trips around the homes of top Nigerians by the governors were targeted at actually making peace within the party. Not a few held the belief that the G5 was seeking to impose its will and that of a faction of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF). In the journey for the formation of the ‘New PDP’, they were joined by Governor Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers) and Abdufattah Ahmed (Kwara). On paper, the team looked like the ‘rebel group’ of PDP, but they succeeded in branding their efforts as aimed at saving the PDP from collapse.

Incidentally, the seven governors were the ones who revolted against the intervention of the leadership of PDP in the NGF election in May. The party had proposed a situation whereby Amaechi would step aside for a consensus candidate among the governors. But the G5 governors spurred the Rivers helmsman on and voted for him against the decision earlier reached by the PDP Governors Forum (PDPGF) and the Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF) to adopt governor Jonah Jang of Plateau, as consensus candidate. Since then, allegations of betrayal and counter accusations among governors have left the NGF comatose till date.

At the Yar’Adua centre, venue of the meeting of the break away PDP members, Atiku insisted that the time was ripe to effect a change in the fortunes of the party he joined others to form in 1998. He said that the party was formed as a rallying point for all Nigerian democrats but that it had been dragged down by those who allegedly have no faint idea about party politics. His loyalists immediately announced Alhaji Kawu Baraje, a loyalist of former governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki, as the new Chairman of PDP. They equally adopted Chief Sam Sam Jaja as Deputy National Chairman and Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, as National Secretary. Going by the outcome of the meeting of the ‘New PDP’, it became clear that they only manifested a contention within the party. But the question is whether the hues and cries could justify the heat being let loose on the polity.

Going down memory lane, political observers would contend that PDP has been a house of colliding interests since inception. Indeed besides the Presidential election of 1999, which it won across the country except in the South-West, PDP has never gone into any other election a united front. Rivalry and divergent interests have always dictated the pace within the party and that had always informed the expectation among the opposition that the party would break up.

Ahead of the 2003 election, the party was enmeshed in a dangerous political maneuvering that took it to the precipice. Atiku, according to the Obasanjo camp then, was at the centre of it all. The camp believed he orchestrated and popularised the “Mandela Option” which was meant to ease out former President Olusegun Obasanjo from office at the end of his first term in 2003.

Atiku saw he could only intensify the search for power without a retreat. The only period he retreated was in the build up to the 2003 presidential primaries, when he finally decided to team up with Obasanjo, following some fence-mending missions by the former President.

But then ahead of the peace moves by Obasanjo, Atiku, Ghali Umar Na’Abba, who was the then Speaker of the House of Representatives and a number of governors, including James Ibori (Delta), Lucky Igbinedion (Edo) and the then National Chairman of PDP, Chief Audu Ogbeh, had concluded that Obasanjo was no longer “electable” in 2003 and that he should step down. The message got to the former President and the heat on the polity was without measure. The House of Representatives outlined a long list of impeachable offences against the former President, while the governors equally ganged up. To break the dice, Obasanjo begged, twisted and turned in his usually flowing kampala agbada attire. What he described as a joke taken too far (the impeachment move by the House) later became a real threat against his government and he had to take it on head long.

When he eventually broke the ice, it was apparent that things would never be the same again within the fold of PDP. He tinkered with the plan to drop Atiku as the Vice-President but the group of governors again ensured that did not happen. What was seen afterwards however was Obasanjo’s total take-over of the PDP structure, the removal of Ogbeh and the sack of a number of Atiku’s strong hands who were linked with the strategy that threatened Obasanjo’s position.

With the events leading to the 2003 election, Obasanjo was said to have made up his mind Atiku would not succeed him. The new PDP leaders he put in place commenced the use of linkmen as replacement for elected executives at the state levels, while the party also embarked on a re-registration exercise through which a number of chieftains were schemed out.

By the time the 2007 election was up, Atiku had been completely sidelined both in government and within PDP and only a recourse to the court ensured he was not removed as Vice-President. He defected to the then Action Congress (AC) and courtesy of court pronouncements, he was able to contest the 2007 presidential alongside late President Umaru Yar’Adua, as a sitting Vice-President elected on the PDP platform but flying the AC flag. Though Obasanjo lost most of the cases Atiku instituted, he, however, ensured that the presidential ambition of the latter was truncated.

Thus, from 2003, PDP had been divided into the Obasanjo/Atiku enclaves and that subsists till today. What was witnessed in Abuja on Saturday could appear a giant leap into the abyss by PDP, but analysts with a hint of contemporary history of the party, would see no big deal really. Some of those with such a viewpoint will remind all that a chunck of Atiku’s loyalists, especially those in the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), actually left the party in 2007 to pursue the presidential ambition of the former number two man in the AC and that following his defeat by the mainstream PDP, he and his followers returned to base.

[b]However, a close look into the configuration of the rebellion this time would reveal a rainbow coalition of sort: the perceived coalition of the Obasanjo/Atiku ensemble to form the ‘New PDP’. This appears a dream team.

Investigations revealed that while the Obasanjo loyalists in PDP have their grouse against the party, the grievances are not the same with that of Atiku loyalists. It was confirmed that the grouse of Atiku camp is how their leader can win the party’s presidential candidate and that such a situation would be helped by the withdrawal of President Goodluck Jonathan from the 2015 race. While that appears a tall order for now in the reckoning of those in the other camp, as it appeared almost certain that Jonathan would throw his hat into the ring for a second term contest, the Atiku camp has no other option than to battle the waves.

According to sources in the party, the Obasanjo camp can hardly dump PDP, which they believe they had spent all their time and energy in building. But the former President was said to have been angered by the refusal of PDP to field his close ally, Dr. Andy Uba, as the governorship candidate for the forthcoming election in Anambra State. Besides, the camp is also angry that the National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, is marginalising one of their own, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa in the running of the party in his state. Outside this, the camp is also worried about the running of PDP in the South-West, a situation that has boxed the former President into practical irrelevance in his zone.

But for the other aggrieved governors who constitute the ‘New PDP’, sources said that PDP stakeholders had analysed their grouses, which also do not directly coalesce with the intention of the Atiku group. For Amaechi, it was learnt that the loss of the PDP structure in his state and apparent inability to nominate his successor, coupled with the fear of losing out on the quest for Senate seat is powering the anger on his side. For the governors of Kano, Niger, Sokoto and Jigawa, it was learnt that their initial ambitions is to contest the presidency, failing which they will opt for Senate. As for the governor of Kwara State, it is rumoured that he is fighting the cause of his predecessor, Senator Bukola Saraki. With appropriate soothing words from the Presidency, the dust could easily settle, sources have contended.

Political observers are therefore of the view that the breakaway as witnessed on Saturday may well be a cosmetic event as there appears no fundamental bound between the Obasanjo camp in PDP and the Atiku tendency. Investigations would confirm that all the G5 governors are products of Obasanjo presidency. While Wamakko was brought into PDP by the former President, he also imposed Babangida Aliyu as candidate in Niger, Sule Lamido and Murtala Nyako in Jigawa and Adamawa, while Kwakwanso was his man Friday who served as Minister of Defence during his presidency.

In contrast, Amaechi was stopped by Obasanjo in 2006, when he refused to hand him the governorship ticket of Rivers PDP. The latter took his seat courtesy of Supreme Court ruling. Thus, unless President Jonathan intends to make an enemy out of each of the feuding G5 governors, the issues in contention could just be resolved on the table.

To further indicate that there are no fundamental differences being pursued by the governors, the G5 had right at the Eagle Square pleaded with President Jonathan to halt the convention process and alter the ‘Unity List’ prepared for the convention. They had indicated that the list from Adamawa was not taken from Nyako, a reflection of the feud over the authentic state executive committee, and that the Vice President should not be allowed to unilaterally pick the National Organising Secretary. They believed that the seat should go to Kano State and that Kaduna which produced the candidate is smaller in size compared to Kano in the North West zone.

Sources had confirmed that President Jonathan refused to intervene at that stage, citing the lateness of the request as his reason. The president was also said to have told the governors in the presence of other governors of the party that he had promised free and fair convention and that it would be counterproductive for him to start tampering with the process at the last minute. He was said to have directed them to the national chairman of the party for further inquiries. Sources said that if the President had agreed to the proposal by the G5 crew, they would have shelved the Plan B, which saw to the emergence of the PDP faction.

But there is also the Northern agenda aspect of the issue. Investigations had confirmed that as far back as August 2011, stakeholders in the North had met in Medina, Saudi Arabia, where they prepared a blueprint for Northern takeover of the Presidency in 2015. One of the issues in the blueprint was how to draw governors who are close allies of Obasanjo into the fold and to ensure they pull the former President away from Jonathan ahead of the next election. If that is done, the proponents of the agenda believed that the President would be weakened and made vulnerable for defeat. Whether the plot by the G5 governors is in fulfillment of the Northern agenda is something to properly verify.

[/b]
It is also not clear yet whether Atiku has keyed into the Northern agenda plot and whether he would be ready to play the spoiler role just to ensure Jonathan’s defeat in 2015. But sources insisted that one thing that is clear is that Atiku plans to be on the ballot in the next election and that he had already prepared PDM as a back-up. To him, it would amount to a bonus if the aggrieved PDP governors go along with him, but his strategists were said to have drawn a plan which could do away with the governors.

Is the PDP really in trouble? The answer cannot truly be given in the affirmative yet. A source said that unless the characters involved in the feud choose to ignore political realities around the individual and enter into presumably blind alliances, the PDP could be assured of bouncing back to its usual family setting once again.

According to the sources, the unfolding drama within the party has not truly deviated from what has been on ground since 2003. The dramatis personae are also largely the same.

Tukur's PDP will swear to an Affidavit of Loss of Certificate of Registration and INEC will issue another one. Anybody who thereafter bring out the first certificate for any reason will be arrested and prosecuted for theft. Cunny man die, cunny man bury am! Nigeria i hail thee.

Lawrence Agha ·wrote on facebook:

Slowly, but surely, Nigeria is gradually drifting to the point of precipice, thanks to the members of the ruling PDP, who are doing everything possible to dump the 'one Nigeria' slogan into the dustbin of history much earlier than predicted. The split of the PDP will be what the Nation needs to compel its selfish and corrupted leadership to come to the round table in other to discuss the basis of our existence as a country. However, there are not many options left, it's either Nigerians sit and talk face-to-face or turn their backs on eachother and walk away.This rancour and hate between members of the same political party is a testimony that Nigerian politicians and by extension Nigerians in general do not see themselves as one, let alone living together in total confidence as one indivisible Nation. Some people from a section of the country are determined to sink the Nigerian ship rather than see another President of Nigeria from the 'wrong tribe or religion'. The pride and prejudice being dsplayed by these greedy politicians within the PDP will turn out to be the major factor that will trigger the gunpowder on which Nigeria was glued to since 1914.

Even if the certificate of registration is with Atiku the Tukur PDP can swear to an Affidavit of Loss of Certificate and INEC will issue another one because Atiku's new PDP conducted no election or convention to its national offices, this case is different from a new party, we are talking of an existing party. Anyone that now bring out the former certificate can be prosecuted for theft by the Police. Is it not Nigeria? have you not swear to an affidavit for Delcaration of age before, which in most cases are lies? Did anyone ask you questions about your age even when they know that you look older than the age you claim? Go to NYSC camps and see over-age corp members (above 30 yrs) or government office and see oldie who claim to be less 60 years old.

If you read today Vanguard newspaper you will read Governor Babangida Aliyu saying the PDP problem can split Nigeria. That is playing into the hands of the American prediction. Seriously 2015 will be decisive for Nigeria. I am keenly watching these gladiators.

gentlegg: Personally i don't like GEJ administration because is embedded in corruption and GEJ looks like a neophyte to Nigerian problems or he lack the balls to confront our problems decisively.

But from the list of the PDP renegading members, is obvious that the abokis thirst for power to shift back to north is getting unbearable. Is just an ethnicity battle rather for masses interest. I still prefer a Jonathan to any gworo man.

'Nigeria is embedded in corruption and GEJ is incapable to handle it' you said, but one of the issue these newPDP governor are talking about is that GEJ should stop EFCC from investigating them and stop the trial of those governor boys that were picked for prosecution. How ho you want GEJ to handle corruption again if the people we all elected are telling him to stop EFCC from doing it work (call it witch-hunting or what have you, these guys have corruption cases) in order to have peace.

As long as we continue to take side with people like Atiku, Oyinlola, Saraki etc. (those we know have case of corruption pending before EFCC)and shout there is corruption everywhere without genuinely meaning to tackle it, we will continue to wallow in it till God knows when. For your information the people that peopled the new PDP can never stop corruption if given power. Is it Atiku's NITEL/Pentscope case, Bukola Saraki's SGBN/Kwara money/Shonga farm, Olagunsoye Oyinlola who stole the mandate of Osun state people and the so-called distinguished Senator and Honourable members who find joy in milking the country resource dry? Forget it.

I am a Yoruba man but the truth be told GEJ is moving the nation forward in the right direction. If peradventure this gang-up against GEJ succeed and a Northerner become our President we are going to have much more trouble on our plate than Boko Haram is giving us now. Do not be deceive the continuous oil bunkering going on in the Niger Delta where Nigeria looses $700million a day is for a purpose - stockpiling of arms and ammunitions by our Niger Delta brother for the wars ahead. Why not allow peace to reign in this country since we all know that all the men the North seems to be pushing forward now has occupied seat of authority in the past and they did little or nothing for their region talkless the country.

I know if peace is not given a chance the North and their South-Western collaboration may live to regret this single act when the oil-money will stop flowing, Late President Yar'Adua had this bitter experience.

Hope GEJ will continue till 2019 and organize a National Conference of all ethnic groups in his 2nd term.

Kairoseki77: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

GEJ has been in office for four years already...not much to show for it other than an airport and a lot of promises about power.

If you think about it, GEJ will be President for a total of 10 years if he lasts until 2019. As a human being we only get about 7-8 decades on this earth. Do you really want to live an entire decade of your life under GEJ's leadership? I don't! I want to see Naija turn into a first world country before I die, and I don't have any decades to waste!

Nigeria's Gdp $91.37 billion in 1960

China's Gdp $69.79 billion in 1962

We have wasted ENOUGH time with mediocre leaders. It is time for someone that actually can transform Nigeria to take over. Personally, I would prefer Fashola. Either way, PLEASE don't make me live a decade under this silly and incompetent man.

Now that you know it will be easy for a camel to pass through a needle than for Fashola to become our President in 2015 and i belief you don't believe in this Atiku of a guy; why not support GEJ?

onoja12: u forgot to add that since the militry handed over power the south has done 12years in power why the north has done 1 and half,so who is fooling who?

Before the military handed power over to the South, the Military rule in Nigeria lasted for almost thirty three-years [33 years](from 1966 until 1999)the North had 30 years while the South had 3 years (1976-1979) "so who is fooling who?".

Kingspin: Unfortunately, the new APC has won 2015 election without any presidential candidate..Could it be as a result of mentally biased breakfast. Well is another right steps in the wrong direction..

Thanks. This speaks loud about our people, APC that does not have a clear-cut candidate for the 2015 election has already won in the mind of few fellows on nairaland.com. SMH!

duality: Is fashola trying to gag the media? Reminds me of FG vs Leadership newspaper over presidential memo.

If media intimidation should not be tolerated in Abuja, It should not be tolerated in Lagos.

This makes me believe that very few persons can withstand and absorb the media unslaught on the presidency. I mean if we want to be honest.

Honestly GEJ has been absorbing alot of rubbish that none of these so-called Progressive can take in a minute. Progressive indeed. Let Fashola come out and tell us he does not intend to influence who succeed him in 2015, was he not the same person who told the world that he will not seek 2nd Term in office in 2010? Bunch of hypocrite!

Jonathan meets with Kwankwaso, Aliyu, Nyako, Ahmed, 12 others
In an apparent bid to reverse the split in PDP, President Jonathan, on Sunday night, summoned a meeting of governors elected under the platform of the party.

Governors present at the meeting at the time of this report included Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu (Niger), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Isa Yuguda (Bauchi), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Idris Wada (Kogi), Liyel Imoke (Cross River), Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta), Ibrahim Shema (Katsina), Mukhtar Ramallan Yero (Kaduna), Garba Umar (Taraba acting governor), Saidu Dakingari (Kebbi), Theodore Orji (Abia), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe) and Jonah Jang (Plateau).

Also in attendance was Vice President Namadi Sambo.
The president arrived at the meeting, held at the First Lady wing of the Presidential Villa, at about 9.25 p.m.
Also present were the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim; National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd) and PDP’s attorney, Mr Joseph Gadzama.

Why Atiku, govs formed splinter group[b][/b]
It emerged on Sunday that the feuding governors of PDP, who teamed up with former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, to announce the formation of rival PDP on Saturday, took the decision to leave the Eagle Square when President Jonathan refused to intervene in their request for a change in the delegates list used for the convention.

Sources close to the party told the Nigerian Tribune on Sunday that the governors requested to meet with the president for a discussion immediately after his speech at the Eagle Square.

Following the request, Jonathan was said to have asked them and some other PDP governors to meet with him at the basement of the state box of the Eagle Square.

It was gathered that the governors requested a change in the unity list adopted for the convention.

They also requested that the president should intervene and ensure that the position of national organising secretary zoned to the North East was allotted to Kano State, because Kano is bigger than Kaduna, which is being made to produce the seat.

They also believed that the candidate adopted for that seat was a loyalist of Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Besides the seat of the national organising secretary, they also wanted the unity list doctored to accommodate Chief Sam Sam Jaja as deputy national chairman of the Party, while they were said to have equally requested that the president should facilitate the accommodation of the list of delegates prepared by loyalists of the governor of Adamawa State, instead of the one endorsed by the state executive put in place by the National Working Committee (NWC).

Jonathan was, however, said to have rejected the intervention.

According to a governor at the meeting, Jonathan told the agitating governors that the issues being raised were late in the day, as the stage was set for the conduct of free and fair election.

He was also said to have told the governors that they would have raised the issues before the convention date, adding that having promised a transparent process and convention, he would not intervene at that stage.

He also asked them to meet the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, for any further clarifications.

At that stage, the governors, who were said to have arrived the Eagle Square with a two-way agenda, went for plan B, which was to walk out of the convention ground and launch the new PDP.

Besides, it was also gathered that while the agitating governors had only mentioned their disagreement with Tukur as a ground for their agitation, they had, however, confirmed that one of the issues on their agenda was how to convince Jonathan to drop Sambo ahead 2015.

It was gathered that the G5 governors and others in their camp believed that if Jonathan must contest in the next election, one of them must emerge as his running mate.

Dissenting views in the presidency
It has been confirmed that the presidency is tinkering with two options in dealing with the crisis within PDP.

A source in the know told the Nigerian Tribune that while a group of advisers and operatives at the Presidential Villa were of the view that the president should go for the broke and deal decisively with the recalcitrant members of the PDP, others were of the view that the president should meet them half way.

One of the forces had argued that the recalcitrant PDP members be expelled, while the state executive committees in the six states be dissolved.

Others were, however, of the view that the president should hear the governors out and meet their demands half way.

But it was stated that the demands of the governors were not clearly stated other than the loud issue of their rejection of Tukur as chairman of the party.

A source said the request for the removal of Sambo was a tall order.

“Their request for the post of PDP national secretary, national organising secretary and deputy national chairman are difficult tasks that must go through the party system.

“The president would have loved to meet some of their demands directly within his powers. But how does he remove his deputy, who has been loyal to the government and the party all along? How does he pick the party officers outside the national convention?

“The move by the G5 governors and Atiku was principally to draw Jonathan out and make him to negotiate on their terms.

“We are studying their actions and the president is not going to be stampeded into taking political actions or kick starting the 2015 talk when he had asked Nigerians to wait till 2014,” the source said.

Welcome.

I know this so-called "Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo" wella for Ilorin, Kwara state, he was a few years my senior in school and we both lived at Sabo-Oke area in Ilorin, kwara State an average Sabo-Oke guy know that Biodun Fatoyinbo is a cultist in school, he profess he is now born again but i doubt it, i suspect he still has links with his guys as rightly inferred by Ese on her blog.

As for Ese's confession, i really commend her for the courage to publish this evil act. I have heard from reliable source on how this "Pastor" guy have used many young ladies in his Ilorin church before relocating to Abuja. I pray God will grant him the grace to come to true repentance. Amen.

First off, good morning fellow Nigerians, Christians and who ever else is dissing or supporting on this blog. I want to state first and foremost that I never used the term “sexual abuse” in this post. I have never been sexually abused my entire life. However, I have been on about researching abuse generally because I started to realize the reason I had been how I was was because I didn’t have confidence in myself as a human being and I struggled with self esteem for as long as I can remember. Abuse is not only sexual and what I refer to here is not sexual abuse but psychological (mental and emotional), manipulation and control. These are forms of abuse and this is what I was referring to.

When I joined COZA, I didn’t know my left from my right. I was finding my way and naturally I was drawn to the word and the fact that I thought this was the one church that would help me grow. As for my then pastor Biodun, I really did see him as a god. I knew nothing about God for myself and I wasn’t reading the bible. I felt he was the one that would help me understand and grow. At the time, I had been attending church for less than three years. I will not deny the fact that I lived my life as I pleased all the while I was in University and even afterwards but like every human being knows, there comes a time when you decide to get it together.

Secondly, I am not hurting or broken anymore. The times I mentioned those in the blog, I was talking about what was happening to me at the time. By God’s grace I crawled out of the self-destructive hole I had entered. This experience drove me to dig deeper and understand grace for myself. Not only that, it made me understand how wrong it is to fear ‘men of God’ and even treat them as God. And I dare say, if I didn’t have this experience, I wouldn’t understand what it means to have a relationship with God.

I have asked God for forgiveness, I hold no grudge against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo or anyone displaying ignorance here or elsewhere. I did what I knew to do as it regards meeting church elders. Not just pastor Flo but others and it seemed no one could talk to Pastor Biodun. As for those saying people will loose their faith, I think that would turn out for their good eventually because when you loose your faith because of man,you would then be able to seek God for yourself and find truth. After all, the bible states that He wishes that ALL men come to the knowledge of truth.
Yes we were both guilty,I have not excused myself from the role I played. I was guilty as sin, however, I have come to know better. If you know anything about low self esteem, you would understand why it went on for as long as it did. Looking back, I think I expected him to know better than me but I know better now. That being said, the whole affair ended because I put my foot down. He made all sorts of propositions to me when I returned to Nigeria but I was looking to heal and move forward.

My aim with this blog is to show other ladies who suffered same fate at his hands both in Illorin and Abuja (some of whom have emailed me but are still trapped in guilt and shame to speak up) that there is nothing to be ashamed of. The clout he has over people can cause them to do thoughtless things but in the end, it’s all out there and I am at peace with myself and with God.

For those calling me a liar, please ask Pastors Biodun Fatoyinbo and Flo if I have lied. I rest my case!!!

This is the response of the OP on her blog.

[quote author=acidosis™]With pains in my heart, I present to you brothers & sisters, the pictures of Kogi State Trade Fair centre, Lokoja.

After about 15years leadership of this state by a single tribe (out of 3 major tribes), this is one of the better projects they've delivered so far..

The list of our governors:

Alhaji Abubakar Audu - Igala, 4years (PDP) [Wrong] ~ ~ ~ Alhaji Abubakar Audu - Igala, 4years (ANPP) [Correct)
Alhaji Ibrahim Idris - Igala, 8years, (PDP)
Capt. Idris Wada - Igala, 3+ years (PDP)



I wish I have the strength to start repeating the disgusting acts and attitudes of these crooks...

Mr President, please you have to listen to our people, the good people of Okun land.
We do not relate with these men General Babangida forcefully merge us with in 1991.
Move this part of the map (Okun land) back to Kwara or give us a new state!

If this state remains under their leadership, the Kogi of 50years to come would be worse than the Kogi of yesterday #fact.

They despise development more than the devil himself..

Pls Mr President, We are tired, as in We don tire...!
