delishpot:
No!!!! Not even GEJ

Me too. I don't believe in him either!

delishpot:
Yinmu. And they may believe him sha.

...but you believed APC?

Now, what will Orji Kalu do?

What Igbos really need is not the presidency but a kind of autonomy to do thing their own way. Like not needing to go to Abuja to beg Fashola so that we can build our roads and bridges. Not needing the FG to guarantee our foreign loans needed for development. Not needing the FG to give us 10% of electricity generated...which has seen many factories closed in the SE., etc, etc, etc...These are more beneficial than Igbo presidency which will end up like Yoruba presidency and Ijaw presidency, which did nothing for their region...

...but if Igbos must have a president, I prefer Prof Soludo or Ngozi Iweala. Orji and Okorocha will end up like Obj and GEJ.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would do a single term of four years if elected president of Nigeria on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in 2019 and support a successor from the South East in 2023, sources close to him has told pointblanknews.com.
Although Atiku officially neither has declared for the PDP nor for the Presidency, it is believed that the plan for a single tenure is part of his game plan to woe the South East of Nigeria.
The source who would not want to be named since he is not authorized to speak on the political strategies of the former Vice President told Pointblanknews.com that the decision by the Turaki Adamawa to seek just one term is hinged on his desire for equity, fairness and justice.
According to the source, the former Vice president is “pro Igbo presidency and would do all it takes to make that happen in 2023. He is not power hungry as some may want to believe.”

“Atiku believes in fairness, equity and justice. It would be amounting to injustice to other region that has not produced the Presidency if he seeks to do eight years. The South East is yet to produce the presidency since the return of democracy in 1999 so it is only natural to give the South East the chance.

According to the source, Atiku is planning reaching out to South Eastern leaders with the view to assuring them of his desire to do a single term and douse any doubts that may arise.
By 2023, Atiku who recently dumped the All Progressive Congress, APC, would be 76 and the source insist the former Vice President would rather go into retirement.

The APC, is also planning ahead of 2023. The Party, according to a source would back Buhari for a second term and then in 2023, support the South East to produce the presidency. Already former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu has indicated interest to run for the presidency in 2023 on the platform of the APC.

sarrki:
Let me analyzed how it works

All pmb supporters and progressives won't vote any candidate from the south east come 2023

They will support Operation python dance...and unity by gun point as well.

This is what real men do...not these Yoruba scammers...

One of their pastors in UK, once asked for £10,000 or was it $100,000 investment in his church...

kettykin:
so Hausa now have quaters in ebonyi, Issorite.

I dont think it is wise Comparing the Ebonyi with Ondo , osun , ekiti, whats is needful now in the South east is to make every state independent of the Useless , Good for Nothing , Meaningless Federal Government that is presently being run by satanist
of all the SE states only Anambra seems to be moving towards self industrialization and economic Independence , Enugu was doing fine previously ,Imo state , one of the finest in the east seems to be in the hands of a lunatic not because of the the statute but because there is simply no economic direction and goals, Abia seems to be trapped in ecological issues but will get there if they think ouside the box .

If Umahi was the governor of Enugu state...Enugu would be chasing Abuja by now. He has vision...Sullivan did a lot for Enugu...

Why not a protest against the politicians and their huge wages. If the country was good, Nigeria blacks will not go and be enslaved in Libya.

Shut it already...

” We have been working with the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and we have been going on well without friction until two years ago when Kanu came out with IPOB..." Yerima

..bla,bla,bla....What is the result of your working for two years....? Nothing has changed. Today SE federal roads remain the worse in the freaking federation...

Desperation to become rich was all over me, says man caught with seven human skulls

…Tells police: Don’t punish me, just hand me over to God

By Demola Akinyemi

A man, Olayinka Abass Akeem, 32, allegedly arrested with seven fresh human skulls along Ajase-Ipo Road, Kwara State by the police, has confessed that he is a ritualist. Olayinka Abass According to him, he exhumed the skulls from a cemetery for money ritual. Police sources said Akeem had been trailed from the Muslim Cemetery in Igbo-Owu, near Ajase-Ipo where he had gone to exhume the skulls after the police had been alerted by a passersby. He was later arrested in a vehicle he boarded to meet a friend he simply identified as Tunde,a.k.a Bante, who was expected to deliver the skulls to a herbalist for money ritual.

The suspect told Sunday Vanguard at the headquarters of Kwara State Police Command where he was being held last week that he was desperate to be rich because he came from a poor background. “I came from a very poor family. At 32, I am still poor because I am unemployed. To feed myself and my parents has been very difficult for us. That was my situation when recently I ran into an old friend,Tunde, who convinced me that money ritual was the surest way to be rich”, Akeem said. According to him,Tunde told him that money ritual was what everyone living comfortable was doing to escape economic recession. When asked how he felt and the boldness he had when exhuming the human skulls from the graves, he said, “I didn’t feel anyhow.

The desperation to become rich was all over me since I thought that was the only thing i needed to do to become rich” The suspect, however, urged the police to hand him over to God for divine punishment because that is what he would do if anyone had exhumed the corpse of his parents or relations for ritual purpose. Olayinka nevertheless expressed remorse particularly when his parents visited him in police cell. Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Lawan Ado, had said the suspect was arrested along Ilorin-Ajase Ipo Road with a sack containing the seven human heads.

Ask president to convene a meeting of governors, lawmakers, political leaders, CSOs to discuss report
Urge National Assembly leadership to open debate on document to expedite implementation
Bassey Inyang in Calabar

In a display of unity, the Southern Senators’ Forum, saturday, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately commence measures aimed at implementing the 2014 National Conference report.

Rising from a three-day conference in Calabar, the Cross River State capital, the senators from different political parties tasked President Buhari to immediately set up a platform for governors, members of the National Assembly, Houses of Assembly, political leaders, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders, to discuss the report’s implementation mechanism.



The conference was convoked by the Peoples Democratic Party–led administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. The All Progressive Congress, which was then in the opposition, had boycotted the conference, on which basis the current APC-led government has consistently maintained that it would not implement the report. Political analysts have, however, argued that the National Assembly could on its own take key recommendations of the conference as private member bills and pass them or include them as amendments in the ongoing constitution review exercise.

The position of the senators was contained in a four-point communiqué read by the chairman of the forum, Senator Hope Uzodinma, at the end of the conference themed: “National Unity and Restructuring.”

According to the communiqué, the forum asked the leadership of the National Assembly to also open debate on the same document so that the implementation thereof would be expedited.

The communiqué further stated that while the unity of the country could not be compromised, the forum believed that the principles on which the country was created by the founding fathers had been eroded, hence the need for a restructuring of Nigeria to create a new order, where equity, justice and peace would prevail.

Uzodinma said, “After presentation of papers, contributions and general brainstorming, it was resolved that Nigeria and Nigerians have come a long way. As such, it has become imperative and in the interest of all to live together as one united family under one indivisible and indissoluble country with justice, equity and fairness.

“While the unity of Nigeria should not and cannot be compromised under any circumstance, it has become apparent that the foundation upon which Nigeria was built at independence in 1960 has been eroded. There is a need to return to the original dream of true federalism, which was a product of negotiation, compromise and accommodation.”

The retreat, the chairman said, witnessed the presentation of papers from prominent Nigerians on various topics, among them: “Sustaining National Unity in a Restructured Nigeria”, “Provisions for National Unity in the 1999 Constitution (Amended)”, “Between the Dreams of Pre-independence Nationalists and Restructuring: A Critical Look at the Past and Present” and the “Imperatives of Restructuring in Multi-Religious Nigeria.”

Uzodinma noted that the senators, who attended in their numbers, also engaged in robust deliberations on what they considered the best way to move Nigeria forward.

Key Recommendations of the 2014 Confab Report at a Glance!

Creation of 18 New States

The conference recommended the creation of 18 new states – three per geo-political zone. They include Apa, Edu, Kainji, Katagum, Savannah, Amana, Gurara, Ghari, Etiti (South East zone), Aba, Adada, Njaba-Anim, Anioma, Orashi, Ogoja, Ijebu and New Oyo.

Resource Control/Derivation Principle/Fiscal Federalism

The conference held that assigning percentage for the increase in derivation principle, and setting up Special Intervention Funds to address issues of reconstruction and rehabilitation of areas ravaged by insurgency and internal conflicts as well as solid minerals development, require some technical details and consideration.

Public Finance/Revenue Allocation

The conference noted that the sharing of the funds to the Federation Account among the three tiers of government should be done in the following manner: Federal Government – 42.5%, State Governments – 35% and Local Governments 22.5%

Forms of Government

The conference recommended the Modified Presidential System, a home-made model of government that effectively combines the presidential and parliamentary systems of government. The president shall pick the vice president from the Legislature and should select not more than 18 ministers from the six geo -political zones and not more than 30% of his ministers from outside the Legislature.

Legislature

The conference proposed a Bi-cameral legislature, but noted that members should serve on part-time basis

Power Sharing/Rotation

The conference recommended that the presidential power should rotate between the North and the South and among the six geo-political zones while the governorship will rotate among the three senatorial districts in a state.

Local Government

Local Governments, the conference recommended, will no longer be the third tier of government. The federal and states are now to be the only tiers of government. States can now create as many local governments they want. The Joint State/Local Government Account be scrapped and in its place the establishment of a State RMAFC with representatives of Local Government and a Chairman nominated by the Governor.

Immunity Clause

One of the critical issues discussed is the immunity clause and it was agreed that it should be removed if the offences attract criminal charges to encourage accountability by those managing the economy.

Independent Candidacy

To open up the political space, the conference recommended that every Nigerian who meets the specified condition in the Electoral Act should be free to contest elections as an independent candidate.

Governance

The creation of the office of the Accountant General (Director-General) of the Federation as a distinct and separate office from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federal Government was recommended. The Office of the Accountant General of the Federation shall oversee the accruals of revenue into and disbursement from the Federation Account as and when due; and shall administer these funds as required by the Constitution, while the office of the Accountant General of the Federal Government shall oversee the accounts of the Federal Government, the conference inferred.

Anti-corruption

the conference proposed Special Courts to handle corruption cases in the light of undue prolongation in the trials and prosecution of corruption cases in the regular courts.

Land Tenure Act

The Land Tenure Act, according to the conference, should remain in the Constitution but be amended to take care of certain concerns, particularly on compensation in Section 29 (4) of the Act to read “land owners should determine the price and value of their land based on open market value”.

National Anthem

The conference also proposed the re-introduction of the old National Anthem

Religion

The Conference recommended that would no longer be any government sponsorship of Christian and Muslim pilgrimages to the holy lands. It also resolved that churches and mosques should begin to pay tax to government.

Yyeske:
Get your IPOB Biafra first before crying over nothing

...That sums the level of your intellect. You called those crying over nothing?...You don't even know your left from your right.

Danladi7:
Then just say we SE and Igbo in south south simple!

Have you ever seen SW saying we SW and NC?

I have never seen SS saying "we SS and SE"....the attarche by force is always SE

Have you not seen SE and SS geopolitical meetings? SE and SS have the same voting pattern for ages...

But you selfish man like to see 19 northern states...made up of NE, NW and NC, no be so...? For you greedy man you have no issue if the NW attaches itself by force to the NC and NE...Do you? Your disgusting, divide and rule has been working...but the expiry date is not too far. What has an idoma or Igala man got to do with a Kanuri man?

Yyeske:
Leave others and face ya business, how are you getting your referendum and Biafra?

When will you mind your main business...

How are going to get more than 3500MW of power for your increasing 280 million population since 50 years now?

When will you foolishly stop exporting crude oil and then go back to import the refined product for 50 years? Biafrans used modular technology 50 years to achieve this. Why not leave Biafra and face you herculean business...

dirtyhokage:
You dnt have sense

...you just displayed your rabid sense...dirty hog!

coolitempa:
Seems like the entire leadership is bereft of ideas....I mean how can an entire organisation be based on lies and propaganda

How often have you heard of restructuring...especially after Kanu was kidnapped? Have you heard of Benin/Edo people wanting their republic..? The ND people wanting out....the Odua people wanting Omoulabi republic?....It is you who can't see that you are deep in your own small deceit and propaganda...

What about the stupidity of Lai+Adeshina+Garba+Onochie...

Corrinthians:
Rotten roof still better than a rotting corpse in a shallow red mud grave, where lies the remains of Late Pig Nnamdidiot Cownu.

Pray..the skull miners in the rotten roof region...spare the remains of late pa Awol...the infant killer

Corrinthians:
Late Nnamdidiot Cownu was a Pig known across the world. I would rather remain unknown than be known as a Pig who died like a coward and buried in a shallow grave inside a piggy casket.

...across the world would be a little hamlet in your village with rotten roofs in Oshogbo, I bet..

Why not focus on what you do best...

I don't believe in these people...what moral grounds do they have to show for keeping their positions, if they could allow their region have the worse road in the federation... even when the region is slightly bigger than Niger state...?

Why are they not able to fight to ensure their region got what other regions have?

How did they travel to Cross River? On a chopper?

I am really disappointed, to say the least!

sarrki:
Keep quiet young man and listen to elders

... perennial layabout! You have never made any sense in this forum...How you love clowning!!

Stalwert:
[s][/s]

Couldn't even make sense despite your strong attempt

...evening school can help you...Free education is not always the best...

The hotel was given out in 2013 and four years later, the investor is delaying. The government wants an investor who could turn the hotel around quickly. This used to be the best hotel in Enugu, many years ago. They invested $1.2 million and there is nothing around the hotel to show for that.

Stalwert:
[s][/s]

[s]The same Kanti Bello they hate for. being a muslim and a northerner has become their chief explaner of things. The same people who want a country where only their tribe will reside still have the effrontery to tie their bigotry to others.

[/s]

In your little mind...every single person from a tribe are bigots with extreme religious pandering...Talk of parochial mindedness!! Leave who is quoted and look at the texts...mister...

Yyeske:
Seems you are new here or you just want me to notice you, have I ever supported IPOB before now?

I don't care who you miscreant support!

tiger28:
its obvious that your grievance is ethnic based. So just because the sgf hasnt returned his loot,we should JUST let others gowho ever escapes arrest or prosecution during this administration because of his/her relationship with this administration will/must surely be probed by the next administration. That should be the thinking process of a true patriot. Nigerians and their stupid thinking swf!

Cherry picking is corruption in itself...If you have no rule of law...why do you have law at all?...Truly, Nigerians and their stupid thinking...swf!

Aonkuuse:
tell EFCC that not me

Why are you poking your nose then?...Why don't you also leave it to EFCC?... It is proven that most Nigerians have different levels of mental instability...
