I feel sorry for PDP, they are loosing gradually.

Confused party.
Only dunce will vote them come 2015.

I hereby call on Mr President to sack the military chiefs immediately.

They are incompetent and can not handle the present situation.

Enough of wanton loss of life of innocent Nigerians, GEJ shld take a queue from Cameroon with the way they rescued their deputy PM's wife from BH.

Ikengawo:
So when BBC was showing American jumping from the burning towers 9/11, how many Americans used the footage as an chance to play politics or attack their country and it's president?

The reason APC isn't going anywhere is because it plays the politics of hate. It's ok to be against GEJ but when you HATE him, you're not going to be able to think straight. Meanwhile like him or not he doesn't hate anyone, and this is why he's winning in all political endeavors.

Nigeria is emerging as the undisputed heavyweight in africa and west africa in particular. This isn't in allegiance to western interests. Dangote is pushing the French La Farge out of francophone countries, Nigeria has led the way in the CIV crisis, and more and more africans are buying Nigerian goods, not western.

It's not ironic that when Nigeria hosts the second largest WEF in human history, larger than the one it's own colonial ruler Britain hosts, CNN turned up the volume on Boko Haram.
it's not ironic that when Nigeria goes to Burkina Faso to show leadership in stabilizing that country, CNN turns up the volume on Boko Haram.
It's not ironic that Obama has gone to Ghana and not Nigeria.


It's not about GEJ for them. If Buhari and Shekau were president they would get the same politics because they're not against GEJ they're against NIGERIA and it's raise as a black and free world power.

Unfortunately those that play the politics of hate open the front door to them.
When South Africa steals our money for a government authorized and legal arms purchase against terrorists...those that play the politics of hate use it to attack the one they hate
When terrorist kill Nigerians, the politics of hate make in a GEJ issue and not a Boko Haram issue.




CNN is not going to convince me to be ashamed of my country. They have no right to meddle in our politics. If you're angry at your brother, as APC is angry at GEJ, and someone from another town comes to town to fight your brother, you must aid your brother first and foremost. You can't join outsiders in trying to embarrass and destroy your family name even if you're family is doing something you disagree with. When you're home you can discuss your issues but an attack on your family name is an attack on your family name.

Anywhere you go in the world you're a Nigerian. Never forget that. It is with you like your sir name and won't go anywhere. When you die it will be Nigerians that mourn you..not CNN.

This must b the handwriting of an ewarrior talked about.

Where are the TAN ambassadors & GEJ ewarriors, here is an issue you need to explain.

I always have my heart in my mouth when ever I have to travel by land.

I saw the shameless man accepting responsibility for the loss of some towns with smiles on his face.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

These pple just want to confuse d already confused man that will soon vacate Aso Rock.

Make them just leave am, his days are numbered.

It serves him well. This is Nigeria and not US or UK.

My piece of advice for him, seek asylum in any of those God forsaken countries and carry on his campaign.

I wish him patience & goodluck.

Stewpeed news.
Who dug this bullsheeet?

Behave!

For me, I think its A, he will die of boredom cos he's staring at a wall.

Take a look at this pix and tell us who dies with reason.


*solid*

It serves him right, he went pdp secretariat with d new pdp chairman he imposed in his state.

Kudos to Pdp NWC

Let fifa ban Nigeria 100 times, they will still by their own hand lift the ban 100 times.

Na who dey home abeg?

The Nigerian youths need a change. We need change for good. Vote Buhari.

Yes. What next?

But why? This is disgusting.

This OP must be an e-warrior spoken of by BBC.

This guy will likely win.

I was supposed to contest against him, but I decided to wait for God's time.

I wish him Patience & Goodluck.

Were those things ge said lies?

Let's be realistic for once we GEJ sycophants.

ziky2010: There is nothing wrong with the billboard.It is just an advert and the picture there makes the advert more attractive and dat is what prompted you to take d snapshot

Hey mister, can you point out one freaking attractive thing about that?

I was driving somewhere along Maitama district in Abuja, I saw this gigantic bill board in front of Goodluck-Sambo Campaign organization Secretariat. I had to stop and take a snap shot of it.

The most surprising thing about it is the fact that they have reduced the Nigerian populace to a football pitch where all what they do is for fun and the onlookers.

This is Nigerian's future we are talking about and the best they could think of was to liken the Nigerian to an unserious football pitch.

We the Nigerian youth must stand up for a change and let these people know that we are capable of changing for the better.

OK. How much ransom was paid.

Watching Football with our wives can
be very frustrating and stressful. The example below is typical (I pity the guy no b small):

Wife : Dipo, who's that guy. Is that Chris
Brown?

Husband: Chris bawo, no na. that's Theo
Walcott!!!

Wife: Hey! Oh he looks like Chris ni....What's that yellow card for?

Husband: Its a warning to a player; and red
means the player must stop playing and leave the pitch.

Wife: Ohhh! It's something similar to a traffic light: Yellow - warning, Red - Stop.

Husband: Yeah yeah sure.. You are right.!!

Wife: What about the green card?

Husband: Ohhh! there's nothing like that in
football.

Wife: Which teams are these?

Husband: Which kind wahala be this na!! God! It's Arsenal and Chelsea. What again!

Wife: Ok ok ok! What colour is Arsenal putting on?

Husband: You no get eyes No be red jersey be that?
Wife: Ok..which team is putting on blue?

Husband: (upset)...Omg, Haba, Wetin na. Don't you know its Chelsea?

Wife: Enhe? Wow! I want Arsenal to win the
world cup.

Husband: Wetin concern Arsenal with world
cup? Where are you from sef?

Wife: Take am easy na! Please who's that old man?

Husband: Hmmm... that's Arsenal's coach,
Arsene Wenger
