₦airaland Forum

On Governor Uduaghan’s remarks that opposition to President Goodluck Jonathan should not come from the President’s South-South region, Governor Amaechi stated that he considers Nigeria’s national interest far and above any other (regional) interest.

Politicians
Many politicians have also rung the bell. On a tour of the U.S. to promote economic cooperation, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited the capital of capitalism in order to partake. Other famous politicians who have had the honor of ringing the bell include Nelson Mandela and Rudy Giuliani. (This instrument of foreign policy and economic pressure is preferred over military action but can still pack a punch. Read more in The Power Of Economic Sanctions.)

Heroes
Some of the most important NYSE bell ringers have been famous not for who they are, but rather for what they have done. These heroes include members of the New York police and fire departments following the events of 9/11, members of the United States Armed Forces serving overseas, and participants in various charity organizations - and the reception they receive is often significantly more vocal than that accorded to even the most famous celebrities. One of the most recent heroes to visit the NYSE was Pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who managed to save the lives of all his passengers during a remarkable crash landing in the Hudson River.

theoctopus: Speak for yourself. North does not present a block vote again. That is long past. The Plateau man and Southern Kaduna or Bauchi man no send you. Abi na Adamawa or Taraba man send you? Or na Benue man send you? Speak for your street joor, not even for your LGA

Ryda: in partnership with "a chinese meter manufacturing company"


oMo see gobe...all ur home appliances go blow up one day.

Alxmyr: We will not see any Amaechi e-rats anywhere on this thread.

bobthebuilder99: Don't let them scare you ooo!

According to NL hooligans, anyone who doesn't like Jonathan is a member of APC. They know that no one outside of the SS/SE likes Jonathan, so it is very important for them to believe that the middle belt will vote with them in 2015. You have just crushed their hearts by naming your region.

STUPENDOUS8888: We CANNOT blame the government for this. GEJ is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria, so I don't care that some kids cannot read.

Sincere 9gerian: "Northerners came out en-masse to vote for him even when some of us said they should not vote for him"
-Shehu Sani

Isn't an irony that the above statement came from one of the northerners who vehemently opposed GEJ's election in 2011?

"To be fair to him (GEJ), no government in Nigeria has appointed so many northerners into government than that of Jonathan"
-Shehu Sani

Atleast Shehu has confirmed by the above statement that the fierce opposition to GEJ from certain elements from the north is not because GEJ is marginalising the north or any part of the country, whether in terms of appointments or project execution. So why the fierce opposition? Why the pull-him-down syndrome? I can only see heavy dose of tribal bigotry at work

Moreover, when President Goodluck Jonathan confirmed that he would contest the 2011 presidential election, great opposition rose against him in the North. The first bombshell came from Shehu Sani, a Kaduna based civil rights activist who said, “President Goodluck Jonathan should not contemplate contesting the 2011 presidential election. Any attempt by him to contest amounts to incitement and a recipe for political instability. Even though rotational presidency is unconstitutional, it has been able to address problems of regional, ethnic, sectional domination and marginalization”. The warning precluding President Jonathan from contesting the 2011 presidential election did not stop with Shehu Sani as Alhaji Lawal Kaita, a close associate of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar added his voice to the agitation when he said, “The North is determined, if it happens, to make the country ungovernable for President Jonathan or any other Southerner who finds his way to the seat of power on the platform of the PDP against the principle of the party’s zoning policy. Anything short of a Northerner president is tantamount to stealing our presidency. Jonathan has to go and he will go. Even if he uses incumbency power to get his nomination on the platform of the PDP, he would be frustrated out”. With these words, the battle line between President Jonathan and his opponents was drawn.

General Muhammadu Buhari(rtd) did not hide his feelings toward President Jonathan’s presidential ambition as he said, “There may be no Nigeria. I draw parallel with Somalia so many times (Somalisation of Nigeria). I am scared about that.

Usbeel: Not just middle the whole nation, what has he done? How many promises did he made during his campaign?

He is too daft and foolish. What has he done for us? Nothing!
