Or President JEGA - doing combination and permutation with Governors.

Onlytruth:
Hmn. . this election postponement is really an opportunity for a lot to happen. I think I support it, at least to give Jonathan enough time to prove me wrong.

Good one Akin my man!
Na de people wey de yab you de smoke gbanaa!

It is only Ibo votes that Jonathan is fighting for now because he thinks Yoruba will vote for him automatically because of June 12. But he will be surprised, however, because we Yoruba have our secret agenda. He is also taking SS vote for granted because he is one of them, and also believes that SAMBO will secure the northern votes for him. So in his estimation, only Ibo votes are up for grabs. Ibos, you berra use this opportunity optimally, if una get sense.

Ok who is your second candidate?
Your house would not be voting for jonathan as he is not winning the primaries!

The king could have left the palace without doing anything about what was going to happen.
The king could have tried to disable or talk these powerful folks out of it.
The king could have decided not to even step down anymore.
But the king decided to steal the gasoline.

Who among us exactly knew what the king was up against or the perfect steps the king could have taken?

All these questions are the reason why we are just a mere group of human being. No one is perfect. No matter how hard or smart we work, there is always possibility that from time to time an incorrect decision will be made.

I still have confidence that IBB will clear things up as soon as he becomes our newly elected president.

In Nigeria explaining one's fault or side of the story or why certain things weren't done correctly becomes easier and interesting when you're @ the top.

Ignore sentiment and elect a true leader that has a lot to lose if things are not done accordingly.

Vote IBB 2011

Some people will just never get it until IBB is crowned the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

All hail our next president, IBB

IBB did not annul the June 12 election by himself.
This statement is absolutely the truth.

In addition to this accurate statement, there were tons of reasons why he pulled the trigger at this particular time.
But so far the blame is directly being directed to IBB and he has never once pointed fingers @ anyone. He continues to deal with the matter and the castigation all alone.

Something tells me that part of IBB's reasons for coming is to clear the air, correct things and make sense out of all the enormous speculations being directed toward him.

Vote IBB 2011

noblezone:
Why do I have this sick feeling that you did not even bother to read the interview in the link before commenting?

Big B1:
No need for story line.
IBB will win and Jonathan will not have the ball to even show his face.

Let's relax and see what happens.

No division. Nigeria is one indivisible entity!

“Our country is at [size=16pt]the threshold of a new era[/size]; an era that beckons for [size=16pt]a new kind of leadership[/size]; a leadership that is uncontaminated by the prejudices of the past; a leadership that is committed to change; a leadership that reinvents government, to solve the everyday problems that confront the average Nigerian.”

The rhetoric resonated with the crowd, which cheered him on. The crowd was obviously unaware that the paragraph was a plagiarized version of an old speech by Atiku. The former vice president used similar phrases in a speech he read at the Old Parade Ground in Abuja on November 25, 2006.

In paragraph nine of his four-year-old speech, Atiku declared: “Today, as we stand on [size=16pt]the threshold of a new era[/size] Nigeria requires [size=16pt]a new kind of leadership[/size], a leadership committed to this change process.

The highlighted clauses are the only things 100% common to both speechs. I have googled the clauses to see how often they have been used b/4, these are my findings:

Is Ekwueme still relevant in Ibo politics? If you throw Ojukwu and Ekwueme into ariaria market, who of them has instant face recognition and who would people flock to?
