The way you foolish kids talk on social media. PDP got more votes from SW than SE in 2015.

"If you keep doing what you have always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten" ~English proverb


Why do people vote in elections? To elect competent leaders who will ensure their safety and welfare? If that is the case then there is no point voting in 2019. The various tribes that make up the SE/SS area should boycott the 2019 elections for several reasons:

1) People have been voting for the last 20 years in Nigeria with no tangible benefit.

2) The SE/SS should come to the realisation that Nigeria is a monumental disaster and anyone who participates in its politics will be part of that disaster

3) Boycotting the 2019 elections will help the SS/SE focus on more important things such as self determination

4) Boycotting the polls will send a powerful message to the international community as well the political elite of Nigeria that the people no longer want to be part of the political process, and by extension, Nigeria.

In the last 20 years that people have been voting in Nigeria, 50 million people in th country have been pushed into poverty making it the poverty capital of the world. China where they don't even vote, has managed to pull over 300 million people out of poverty.


So What is the point of voting if voting has never done you any good?


Zones that have held the presidency and vice-presidency for years have nothing to show for it but ignorant fools are still insisting getting these positions as if it is heaven and Earth.


IF YOU TRULY WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE, BOYCOTT THE 2019 ELECETIONS AND INSIST ON SELF DETERMINATION!

DONT BE THE FOOL WHO GOES TO VOTE IN THE NEXT SET OF THEIVES WHO WILL BLEED YOU DRY! NIGERIA DOES NOT WORKS AS A NATION, NO MATTER WHO WINS!

DONT BE THE FOOL WHOSE VOTE NEVER COUNTS BUT IS USED TO MAKE UP THE NUMBERS!

BOYCOTT 2019!

The possibility of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) settling for a replacement for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo from the Southeast and intrigues by politicians jostling to be chosen are some of the reasons the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) standard bearer, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, might delay the announcement of his running mate till the last minute.

Shortly after Atiku clinched the first position in PDP presidential primary election last Sunday in Port Harcourt, a lot of players from both the Southeast and Southwest began making serious moves and sending representations to the party’s substantive presidential candidate seeking to be considered for the vice presidential ticket.

Although sources within the Abubakar Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation confided in The Guardian that the PDP presidential candidate has not penciled down a prospective running mate, it was gathered that some names have started popping up now and then as possible candidates.

The Guardian learned that considerations as to whether the presidential running mate would come from Southeast or Southwest brought a new twist to the search as well as the strategic need to accommodate the inputs of some critical stakeholders that oiled the machinery for Atiku’s eventual emergence as the PDP numero uno.

“Recall that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku’s former principal, had mooted the idea of Southeast having a shot at the Presidency in 2019.” A source within PDP said. “But somewhere along the line Baba argued for a presidential running mate and even went further to suggest the name of Mazi Osita Chidoka.

“Chidoka’s eventual exit from the United Progressive Party (UPP), on which platform he contested the November 2017 gubernatorial election back to PDP should not be treated lightly. But, other suggestions have been made for a technocrat with international pedigree to pair up with Wazirin Adamawa.”

But no sooner had Chidoka’s name escaped Obasanjo’s lips than many foundation members of PDP, who have eyes on the 2023 presidential election, began clandestine lobbying for a technocrat to be paired with the former vice president.

It was against that notion that names of former Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Prof. Barth Nnaji surfaced, ostensibly to push back on the considerations being given to the immediate past governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi.

Those who are pushing for Okonjo-Iweala argue that her Delta/Abia combination origin based on paternity and marriage achieves the Southeast/South-South solidarity in addition to her clout in the international community.

Meanwhile, pressures are said to be mounting also from the Southwest, which claims that ceding the presidential running mate to the zone would go a long way to mitigate the loss of the national chairmanship during last December national convention.
The name of incumbent President of African Development Bank (AfDB) and former Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Ayodeji Adesina, is being touted as a feasible candidate on the score of Southwest accommodation and buy-in of the international community.

Southwest lobbyists are also waving the flag of speculated plots by the Presidency to fetch Osinbajo’s replacement from the Southeast as running mate for President Muhammadu Buhari in next year’s election to convince the region of its sincerity of ceding power to the zone after Buhari.

While the Southeast and Southwest push their arguments for PDP to select the next vice presidential candidate from their zones, multiple sources told The Guardian that Atiku was moved by the fact of Senator David Mark’s position on gender balance to consider Okonjo-Iweala in addition to her knowledge of international finance and development issues.

Senator Mark had, while addressing PDP delegates at the Adokie Amasiemeka Stadium, Port Harcourt, last Saturday, noted that he was the only presidential aspirant among the one dozen to appoint a woman as Director General of his campaign organization.

It was also gathered that former President Obasanjo is excited by the likelihood of Okonjo-Iweala being adopted, which prompted his recent comments that a president knowledgeable in economic matters is what Nigeria needs to fix the damage done by the present administration to the economy.

The traditional ruler of Awka-Etiti in Anambra State, Igwe Chuma Ojukwu has vowed to invoke the spirits of the gods of the land to clear the way for President Muhammadu Buhari’s reelection bid.

Ojukwu who made the public declaration yesterday during a press conference at Awka-Etiti, noted it was to reciprocate President Buhari’s intervention for his recent release from Port Harcourt prison after nearly a year in incarceration.

He expressed gratitude to Buhari for facilitating his freedom, and declared, “by the power bestowed on me as a traditional ruler, I pronounce with Awka-Etiti kingdom’s 320 years ancient power of authority (Ofo) that Mr President, Buhari must be alive to complete his tenure till 2023”.

Ojukwu, however, said he was charged before a Rivers State Magistrate Court sitting in Port Harcourt in suit No PMC/295c/2013 on a three count charge for allegedly obtaining some goods under false pretense among other issues.

He said the offence, according to the charge was punishable under Section 419 of the Criminal Code, Cap 37, Law of Rivers State of Nigeria, 1999.

He said that he was however discharged on two counts but was found guilty on one of the counts, which he said he appealed to a higher court of law.

“I have now appealed to High Court through notice of appeal filed and served on December 5, 2017 based on my conviction and sentence on count three charge.

“I prayed the High Court in the notice of appeal for an order of the High Court setting aside the verdict of guilt with respect to the third count of the charge against me.

“An order of the High Court dismissing the charge of defamation of character against me and discharge and acquit me with respect to that count three charge,” he stated.

Buhari Vs Atiku: My Dilemma.

A senior colleague of mine asked me a question that interestingly threw me off balance. He said " Emeka, Between Buhari and Atiku, who would you support in 2019" the question seemed easy and simple, but i refused to give him a straight forward answer. Honestly, i was a bit confused for the very first time in respect of my political standing. He further opined that if the South-East supports Buhari, perharps in 2023, we would stake a claim for the presidency or a support for Atiku that will see us wait for another 8 years.
Hey! The staunch anti-buharist should hold the salvo. Let me atleast use this opportunity to 'ATIKULATE' my dilemma. Dilemma here simply means "A circumstance in which a choice must be made between two or more alternatives that seem equally undesirable". With all due respect to other contenders, only APC and PDP have the same national spread for now to win a presidential election.

I am a strong believer in the fact that the South-East have been marginalized in the scheme of things right from the end of the civil war, starting with having the geo-political zone with the least number of States to being treated like a conquered people by our Northern 'brothers', which is a story for another day. Take it or leave it, there is this silently loud distrust between the South and the North. It is real!
In my opinion, the remedy to this anomaly is to practice true federalism, some call it restructuring, where states are allowed to control their resources and pay royalty to the centre thereby doing away with our present feudal system of government, where the Federal Government lord it over the federating units who go to Abuja monthly like beggars to collect handouts in the name of allocations and then also, an Igbo man becoming the President of this country. We are not second class citizens. Equity, fairness and justice demands this.

There is no doubting the fact Buhari's administration which we helped enthrone in 2015 has derailed. Yea, it was then anything but Jonathan. The country was bleeding profusely as a result of his actions and inactions. Alas, Buhari who should have used that momentum to set things aright, divided the country first by sharing it into the infamous 95 'percenters' and 5 'percenters', thereby contributing to making the country more divided than ever before since the civil war. The Fulani herdsmen unleashed mayhem like never before witnessed in the history of this country with tremendous guts and braggadocio, emboldened by the fact that 98% of the security architecture of the country was manned by their kinsmen. They were even bold enough to appear on televsion to say they were avenging the killing of their cows! Yet, nobody has been prosecuted and convicted for the carnage and senseless killings. The FG wants us to believe it is merely clashes between herdsmen and farmers.

The cost of living has seriously skyrocketed. There is untold hardship and suffering. Those of us that are fortunate to have jobs are inundated daily with calls from friends and relatives to assist in one way or the other. The present government unfortunately seems to be at a loss on how to salvage the situation.

Enter Atiku, the candidate of the PDP, a party with a sordid and unsavoury past who have promised to 'restructure' the country. A former Vice President with a seemingly cerebral and cosmopolitan outlook. A bussiness man and an employer of labour. The ruling party wants us to believe that he is corrupt despite never been charged or arrested for any corruption related offence. Who is fooling who? The ruling party should come up with other issues because the corruption allegation will not stick.

Folks, honestly my dilemma now is not either waiting for 4 years or 8 years for the south-east to govern the country, but the thought of PDP coming back to power with their sordid past sends shivers down my spine. Can a leopard really change its skin? The thought of Buhari continuing for another 4 years! Hmmmm. God have mercy.

You have a serious problem. Now you've seen the idiocy of your position, you're now throwing your toys out of your pram. I thought you guys said he looted Lagos dry? How come you now claim he collected a loan from Atiku? Does that make sense?

Where in your article is it mentioned that Atiku gave Bola Tinubu $1.2B or $200M?

Shuku0kukobambi:
You must have copied and pasted more than a thousand words. You must have dropped more than 10 names but you're yet to point to anything that says Atiku gave Bola Ahmed Tinubu the sum of $200million or $1.2billion

Do you have the info now?

Oduavanguard Tinubu is in serious debt to Atiku and friends he has no option than to sell you guys again to Atiku & co

Shuku0kukobambi:
You're drowning and don't know when to give up. Where is it written there that Atiku gave $1.2B to Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

Shuku0kukobambi:
You see why you should read before jumping head first into a matter you understand nothing of? See my post which you quoted but obviously didn't read



How does the bold portions, which is the question, relate to all that verbosity you reproduced up there?

Where and when did Atiku loan Tinubu $200million?
