I hope for the best out of this deal......

Things are really getting out of hands....... Which way Nigeria?

...... He said "I still have 3 more years".....

Nice

............. It is high time we call a spade a spade....
.......... Nigeria is no man's private enterprise.........
PMB need to do something about the current situation of things in this nation.
........... People are suffering bottomline.........

Finally, this thread made front page.......... Was really doubting the possiblity.

Rivers has spoken.......... INEC is only respecting our collective stands.

We are Rivers people, we have voted and it must count....... PMB or not, CRA or not.

Trash

...... And we have just gotten to exodus..... By the time we get to Revelation....... The population of of Nigerians alive would have dropped to 140million. #

That on its merit will not bring about the much needed solution to Nigeria lingering problems.
The way forward lies with the people.

More updates........ Please

Waiting for official result.

Noneroone:
every groupp can prosper without involving the other. No man's prosperity is tied to the endorsement of another.

But it happened that in nigeria we had three groups one in north, two in south. Hausa has born to rule mentality, are backward, islamic, violent and conservative. Yorubas are fairly progressive and educated, but igbos are the most liberal, progressive, resourceful and intelligent. This is the plain fact. Everyone knows the north should be cut to size if the country sould progress for no nation allow backward group to pilot their affairs if it intends towing the path of progress. But the yoruba is too jealous of igbos, too threatened by igbos and too fearful to allow event follow their path, hence they align with the north to keep the country in perpetual state of underdevelopment. Yoruba policy since amalgation has been guided by hatred, jealousy and fear towards the igbos. Awolowo was the one who told his kinsmen to leave ncnc 'cos it was an igbo party at a time when the major of enugu was a northerner. He started ethnic politics in naija.

The travails of the same awolowo and the crisis in western region(engineered by ahma%u bello) was what provoked nzeogwu's coup. They planned to restore awolowo as the premier. But what happened later? The same awolowo after his release, and inspired by hatred and jealousy, joined the same north wh put him in prison to persecute igbos who fought for him. Even US dip. Archive wrote that awolowos role in that war was inspired by his anipathy towards the igbos. Not to talk of his wartime policies as finance minister.

Even now many yorubas voted buhari not because the saw jonathan as bad but because they believed he identified with igbos.

Therefore igbos do not beef anyone. No igboman has that time.
Yoruba policies are guided by hate wickedness and jealousy. I am sorry to be this plain

Hmmmmmmm

Empty promises again......... We are never going to fall for you and your antiques again . Ameachi it is time to leave Rivers state alone.

He(PMB) and his economic team should plung back the recovered loots into the economy at least to get things off the ground and reduce the suffering of the masses . Hodding these recovered funds is almost the same as not recovering them at all.

Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja

Attempts by the Peoples Democratic Party to reinvent itself as a formidable platform continued to reverberate across the country at the weekend as members braced for the May 21 national convention, which promises tough decisions that could strengthen or further weaken the erstwhile ruling party.

National officers who would run the affairs of the party for the next four years will be elected at the convention. And interests in the various geopolitical zones are trying to position themselves well for the coveted post of national chairman, with those from the South making the strongest moves.

THISDAY learnt that many influential stakeholders of PDP are favourably disposed to zoning the seat of national chairman to the South. This is in view of the fact that the party is likely to zone its presidential position to the North in 2019, as recommended by the Senator Ike Ekweremadu- led 2015 post-election panel.

But some members from the northern zones argue that taking the headship of the party away from the North, where PDP controls only two of the 19 states, to the South would portray PDP as a southern party. They also insist that the proposed emergence of the presidential candidate of the party from the North would not really affect the chairmanship post, as the chairman would be on the last lap of his tenure at the time of the 2019 presidential primaries.

With five of its six states under PDP control, South-south, the zone of Bayelsa-born former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who lost to President Muhammadu Buhari at the last general election, currently has the highest number of PDP governors. Those disposed to zoning the chairmanship to South-south say apart from representing the loudest voice for the party at present, the zone also provides the biggest funding for the party.

South-south man and PDP deputy national chairman, Chief Uche Secondus, who had been serving as acting national chairman, last month handed over to Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, following his ratification as substantive chairman. Some party leaders feel the zone that is providing the strongest pillar of support for PDP should be compensated with the chairmanship post.

South-east has the second highest number of PDP governors, with three of the zone’s five states controlled by the party. Party members there, too, are struggling for the national chairmanship post. Two former national chairmen of the party – Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo and Chief Vincent Ogbulafor – are from the South-east.

The South-west is also making out a strong case for the chairmanship. The argument here is that the zone, which has two PDP governors, has never produced a national chairman of the party since 1999. Besides, the chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State, and the man currently regarded as the loudest voice of the party in the South, Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, are from the South-west. But sources within the party say power struggle between the two most prominent leaders of PDP in the South-west may cost the zone the coveted position.

Though, the scrambling to secure the chair of the leading opposition party is more intense in the South for the obvious reason of the zoning arrangement, which PDP members are still keeping secret, the North is not left out of the struggle. Party insiders say there is a groundswell of opinion in the North that the region should retain the national chairmanship post, currently held by Sheriff from the North-east, to give the people a sense of belonging and curtail a growing impression that PDP is a southern party.

The North-east states of Gombe and Taraba are the only PDP states in the North, but many in the North think that retaining the post of national chairman there may isolate the other zones in the region, giving Buhari and his All Progressives Congress unfettered hold on the North.

PDP had during its 69th National Executive Committee meeting on Monday in Abuja approved the timetable for its congresses and national convention. The congresses will commence on April 23 and culminate in the national convention, scheduled to hold on May 21 in Port Harcourt. The NEC also approved the setting up of four special committees to prepare for the national convention, namely, the National Convention Committee, Reconciliation Committee, Zoning Committee, and Finance Committee.

The crucial field of struggle at the moment ahead of the national convention, findings reveal, is the convention committees, which are expected to play a key role in the emergence of the new national officers. The convention and zoning committees are being considered as most strategic, fuelling a frantic struggle to fill the two committees. The party is said to be in a state of great agitation over the modalities for choosing members of the committees.

But nearly every prominent leader of PDP is playing his cards close to his chest on the zoning matter. The deputy senate president, Ekweremadu, said in a statement on Friday by his special adviser on media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, that there was not secret zoning arrangement, stressing that the party would announce its zoning plan at an appropriate time.

The statement added, “The PDP will soon convene a meeting of the relevant stakeholders and organs of the party as stipulated by our constitution to come up with a clear zoning of the national offices of the party in a transparent, democratic, and fair manner.”

Why I Sacked Nyesom Wike As My Chief Of Staff” – Amaechi

“I told Rivers people, that Nyesom Wike will do nothing as Governor, he’s here to steal money, he was my Chief of Staff. The reason I removed him as Chief of Staff was stealing. It was Chima that influence me to send his name to Goodluck Jonathan to appoint him as Minister. It was Chima, my commissioner of Commerce, who begged that Nyesom Wike was dying of taking alcohol, he was taking so much Whiskey and we needed to save him. Chima asked me to make him a Secretary to the government and I said, “God forbid.” But I removed him because of that corruption, that was the reason why I removed him.”

You claim to sack a man for stealing while he was a mere Chief of Staff in your cabinet and instead of handing him over to the Police, you instead elevated him by appointing him as a Federal Minister!

Does Rotimi Amaechi expect sane Nigerians to believe this cock and bull story? Only drunkards and those perpetually high on codin, Roche, Tramol, Solution, Gum etc will believe this story at the first instance, but even at that, they are definitely going to disbelief this story when they sober up.

I refuse to be insulted, I refuse to be taken for granted, how could a whole Minister tell such illogical stories on National TV?

Before you come here to defend the defenseless Minister’s senseless story, make sure you will make sense and know in your sense that Wike used to be Rotimi Amaechi’s best political partner and ally. Know it in your sense that Amaechi made Wike Local Government Chairman, Chief of Staff, DG Rotimi Amaechi Campaign Organization, Minister of the Federal Republic. While Rotimi Amaechi was in exhale in Ghana, it was Wike who fought on his behalf to ensure he gets Justice.

While It is true that Amaechi made Wike to hold all these positions while they were partners, is it also false for Amaechi to now “appoint” Wike Drunkard in Chief while they are no longer partners?

In continuation of the Federal Government’s efforts to achieve greater security of lives, resources and investments in all parts of Nigeria and its sub-region, President Muhammadu Buhari will travel to Malabo, Equatorial Guinea on Monday for talks with President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo on further measures to protect the people and resources of the Niger Delta and Gulf of Guinea.
The conclusion and signing of an agreement by Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea for the establishment of a combined maritime policing and security patrol committee on Tuesday is expected to be the major outcome of President Buhari’s talks with his host.
President Buhari and President Mbasogo are also expected to discuss and agree on other collaborative measures to combat crimes such as piracy, crude oil theft, attacks on oil rigs, arms smuggling and human trafficking in the Gulf of Guinea.
Both leaders will also confer on the rescheduling of the joint summit of the Economic Community of West African States and the Economic Community of Central African States on additional cooperative measures to curb terrorism and violent extremism in West and Central Africa.
The summit was to have been hosted by Equatorial Guinea last year but was postponed because of Nigeria’s general elections.
In accordance with the main focus and agenda of the trip, President Buhari will be accompanied by the Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, and other senior security officials.
He is scheduled to return to Abuja on tuesday.

I never said Nigeria’s economy is beyond Buhari’s control – Lai Mohammed

Saturday morning, I appeared on a Radio show here in Abuja at which I spoke extensively on the issues affecting our country, especially the economy.
To my surprise, my views were twisted and I was reported to have said that the economy of our country is beyond the control of the President.
This is a gross misrepresentation of what I said. I could not have said our economy is out of the control of our President or the administration he heads. As a matter of fact, this Administration has decided to turn the economic disaster‎ that we inherited to a blessing by diversifying our economy.
I don’t know the reason behind the gross distortion of my comments on the radio today, but whatever the motive is, Nigerians should disregard such distortion and continue to support our President and his Administration to take our country out of the woods.

My friend, this your line is old and out off of date. Nigerians know better now. That APC line is CORRUPT in itself , they made a mess of GEJ's govt, promising to make it better and Nigerians fell for it. We are yet to see the result of their change mantra........ Nigerians are suffering, leave GEJ alone period.

This is Rotimi Chibuike Ameachi at his best, doing what we know him for. The last time he received a retaliatary clap at a poling unit and his man/party still lost the governor elections , this time around guys will show you and your party the other side of bitter cola.
