I found this piece by one Suleiman Gaya and I believe it's one of the best opinion I've read on this subject matter. It's a very good read:

Nigeria’s presidential election is 46 days away.
But one of the major tragedies facing the PDP
candidate, incumbent President Goodluck
Jonathan is that by their actions and
overzealousness, many of his aides, friends and
associates are doing a great disservice to him.
Many of them still delude themselves that
divisive utterances and manipulation of religion
are going to serve as effective tools in 2015, as
it did in 2011.

They do not seem to realise that Nigerians are now wiser, knowing very well that both Christians and Muslims bear the brunt of their leaders’ failings or incompetence.
Muslims and Christians drive on the same bad
Nigerian roads, buy from the same market,
spend the same currency. There is no strong
naira for Christians or weak one for Muslims.

Instead of presidential aides and associates of
President Jonathan to market him as the leader
that has made unprecedented strides in
agriculture, or one that has enriched enrolment
into basic schools from 23 million in 2010 to 29
million two years later, they are busy offending
millions of northerners and Muslims and
making them turn their backs on the President.

There are so many positives to market Jonathan
with: In the first ever meeting I was privileged
to have with the President in 2012, he felt
offended when I told him, in response to a
question he asked me, that I was an indigene of
Kano State. He remarked that young men of my
generation represent the best hope for this
country, and that we should always look at
ourselves first and foremost as Nigerians.

By invoking religion, trying desperately to paint
General Muhammadu Buhari as a Muslim
fundamentalist who is going to introduce
Shari’a in all nooks and crannies of Nigeria, with
a view to getting Christians to hate the man and
vote against him, these supposed friends are
making it look as if the President hasn’t
achieved anything positive to market him with.

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is a leader I hold in
deep esteem. But I am getting more and more
disappointed in him these days, owing to the
way he goes about disparaging Islam in the way
he hurls insults on Buhari, as well as abusing
the Hausa-Fulani for the same reason. No
Muslim worth the name, for example, will be
happy with Fani-Kayode’s description of
Buhari’s behaviour as belonging to the “6th
century Saudi Arabia,” as he did in his article
entitled: Questions Buhari Must Answer,
published in his column in this newspaper on
December 15th, instant.

Perhaps even worse is his quoting a pastor of
the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Bosun
Emmanuel, whose sermon, as quoted by Fani-
Kayode in his article entitled A word for Yemi
Osinbajo, published on December 22nd, instant
in this newspaper, as telling Christians not to
have anything to do with Muslims. He quoted
the pastor as saying, in his ‘famous sermon’
titled ‘The Nigerian Church’, that “woe be unto
any believer who joins hands with the enemies
of God in an attempt to bury the Church and
destroy the gospel.”

He was, in that article, trying hard to paint the
vice-presidential candidate of the APC,
Professor Yemi Osinbajo, in dark light for
accepting to play “second fiddle” to a man who
is a “notorious troubler of the (Christian) faith.”
He added an unfortunate clincher: “woe unto
the children of light that secretly delight in
darkness and that seek to thwart the counsel of
God for their nation by joining hands with the
sons of Boko and the daughters of Haram.”

saint047:
. A Vp candidate who is optimistic of victory will not spend weeks perambulating streets of Lagos. They know GEJ has won.

So which streets should he be perambulating?? Wall Street?? Your generation get miss-prioritized reasoning. Shior!

SeverusSnape:
Hmmmmm.....I don't want to believe they work for BH, but some of their reports goes in favour of the terror group, when an attack is carried out by BH, Sahara reporters gives a full detail of the attack thereby boosting the morale of the insurgents, this will automatically reduce the morale of our troops.

Can you just listen to yourself?! So, if a media outfit reports full details of a news worthy happening, it is to demoralize some people and uplift some people?! Does CNN or FOX (or any other media outfit) don't do same? The new generations nigerians love half truths (or even lies) to massage some egos. Shiiooor!!

naijababe:
Y'all need to calm down. The VP is essentially a lame duck position imo. Fashola should be SGF or a position of similar stature.

Abi o!! Exactly my point. Executive administration doesn't comprise of President/VP alone. I guess Fash might not even be able to function at his best as a vp.

One man's Terrorist is another man's Freedom Fighter. I wish God can touch Buhari's heart to free this country and embrace dialogue

I wonder the type of people that are liking your post. Birds of a feather I guess. It's you that needs God's touch with this foolishness u scribbled. Shiooorr!!!

Hmmmm....very deep and true. More grace to the writer.

I congratulate her. Also heard she has appologized for whatever wrong doing she might have committed. Nice one.

diksucker:
not a good idea. If u make them up, they would think its very normal and as they grow , they keep doing it. it even exposes them to Philodolph or whatever (someone pls help me with d spelling of those older men that sexually harass kids)

Peadophiles u meant

Mine shd be scenario 4:
My wife and I both contribute our quota to d welfare of d household, kids and family projects. But she wants me to make every decision which could be burdensome sometimes.
Most times she calls me to ask what to cook, which of our accounts she should lodge money (we have diff accounts but we both have access to all our atm cards and PINs).
She even somtimes asks me what to do with her salary. I always encourage her to make at least some decisions without waiting for me but she won't budge. She believes all decisions that concerns us shd be made or sanctioned by me.
This often wears me out but I'll marry her over again 3million times.

Tragedy struck in Umuogwuta, Ndegwu, Owerri West local council area of Imo State, as a lady who was giving her testimony during the New Year service suddenly collapsed and died.

A villager, who spoke to Vanguard on ground of
anonymity, said: “The Lagos-based lady, Ifeoma
Anozie, collapsed and died while giving her
testimony inside Saint John’s Anglican Church,
Ndegwu.”

Vanguard also gathered that Ifeoma returned to her
country home not to only give testimony about her
achievements in the passing year, but also felicitate
with her kith and kin.

“The lady had hardly commenced her testimony
when she suddenly slumped and died in front of the
officiating cleric and left the congregation
completely perplexed,” the villager said.

Speaking also on the issue, a woman who simply
identified herself as Felicia, lamented that what
ordinarily should have been a double celebration for
the Anozie family suddenly turned sour. “The church service was designed to be a double
celebration for the Anozie family. It, however, turned out to be a tragedy for the family, the church and Ndegwu community,” Felicia lamented.

Other villagers that also spoke to Vanguard, said
ifeoma was a very promising young lady but none
could guess she would die untimely.

Although Vanguard could not ascertain the cause of
death at press time, as no member of the immediate family could be reached for comments.
However, the remains of the lady had been deposited in an undisclosed hospital morgue.

The leader of Ekiti State caucus in the House of
Representatives, Honourable Opeyemi Bamidele, on
Tuesday, tendered his resignation as the leader of
the caucus, saying that his decision was to enable
him pursue his aspiration to be governor of Ekiti
State by 2014.
Nigerian Tribune recalled that some months back,
Honourable Bamidele was sacked by his five
colleagues namely: Honourables Robinson Ajiboye,
Bamidele Faparusi, Bimbo Daramola, Ifeoluwa
Arowosoge and Oyetunde Ojo and the caucus
subsequently named Ajiboye as its new leader.
The action of the lawmakers was sequel to
Honourable Bamidele’s open interest to contest the
2014 governorship election in the state.
It took the intervention of the leadership of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria to order the
colleagues of Honourable Bamidele to rescind their
decision, with clarification that the lawmaker had
every right to contest the 2014 governorship
election.
Honourable Bamidele, in a statement issued in
Abuja and made available to newsmen entitled:
“Resignation as Ekiti caucus leader in the House of
Representatives” thanked his colleagues for their
support during his tenure as the caucus leader.
The statement copied to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu,
Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal and Femi Gbajabiamila,
read in part: “I hereby resign, with immediate effect,
my appointment as the leader of Ekiti State caucus
in the House of Representatives of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
“This resignation has become a cogent and
compelling step for me to take at this time to enable
me pursue, by the special grace and uncommon
favour of Almighty God, my aspiration to be
governor of Ekiti State by 2014 based on my
personal conviction and in response to the popular
demand and clarion call of well-meaning Ekiti sons
and daughters at home and in the diaspora who
believe that our dear state needs a critical
intervention at this time so as not to become a failed
state.
“I can no longer tarry in responding to the yearnings
and aspirations of the violated children, the deserted
youth, the disillusioned women, the unfulfilled civil
and public servants, the neglected artisans, the
jobless and underemployed men as well as the heart
broken elder statesmen and frustrated founding
fathers, who genuinely desire to see the emergence
of a rallying point (across political and ideological
divides) that would herald in a new and united Ekiti
State where our past glory will be brought back from
sabbatical,” the statement said.

ogunteluwo: This is no more a new thing, instead of tackling the way out. Taking a disciple step like testing them before encamping them will give a sit up notice to them. And providing the consequences of not passing the Oral and writing test, like giving them no way to camp with the successful ones or repeating the camp the following year. I was once a victim of this but I went on researches to develop myself and God helped me. If I can improve, it means these people can improve too. It is a matter of willingness.

Sorry, you don't sound eloquent yourself.

femi4: These are my findings:
At times, RDV can be the same as PRD, So, if thats your case;
RDV=PRD=53470-114; and that gives
MEP ID as 04104-008. Suspected PRD(49557-001) also gives MEP ID as 04104-008.
Having used 04104-008 and 04104-009 without result. Maybe you can call Tmobile USA to give you the code.

Just to be sure of the required code, perform these operation:

Go to Option >> Adv Option >>Simcard
Then type MEPD, Provide the status of "Network" and "Service Provider"

These are the infos I got

SIM: Disabled
Network: Active
Network Subset: Disabled
Service Provider: Disabled
Corporate: Disabled

femi4: Even if I have to refer you to a paid unlocking site, you ll still be asked to provide accurately your MEP and PRD.
