Ikengawo: You and I know that governors are more powerful than senators in Nigeria. More importantly governors often hand select senators.
If CPC got 12 million votes congratulations to them, Jonathan got 70 million +

now GEJ is a nobody at the time, the only thing ppl had to use for voting for him was party, tribe, religion and region.


Buhari was an established heavy weight in Nigerian politics. Now tell me, if they can't run Buhari, who else will gather half as much support as buhari from cpc? CPC isn't a popular party. They are blessed Buhari is with them, but after him there's no more and that's why they only hold one state.

You're telling my about synergy and im telling you about reality. GEJ had more votes than all of the opposition parties combine, all of the parties combining won't make a difference, they already tried to go against him. ACN also over estimates it's own popularity. Though they're the second most powerful in Nigeria, the tribal nature of the party turns non yorubas off. It's just as tribal as AGPA and as no yoruba will vote for an AGPA governor, no igbo, middle belter, deltan, or even northerner will vote for a ACN governor.







This 'mega party' is a good move, but it's not enough. They need to hit GEJ where he can't recover and that's by taking the igbo vote.
At the same time idk if they'll be better than PDP jare. ANPP are the masters of poverty and the most corrupt backwards states in Nigeria and CPC is right up there with them. What ACN gets praised for doing in the west as been done in the east and delta already so those people aren't impressed by banning okadas, cleaning up streets, building more roads etc in a state that doesn't effect them.

Where did GEJ get 70 million votes from? You are ignorant. GEJ got only 22 million votes even despite all the rigging and padding of figures in SS and SE.

wesley80: No Sir, I never said I was better than you. You only confirm you're among the legions of ediots along with countless al majiri's that chant sai Buhari even though they were in nappies when Buhari held sway.

Ok cool, if you are not better than me, it means you are more idiotic (on the scale of idiocy) than many of us and we can say this is the reason you ignorantly voted for a dull man as your president. And since we are at least better/smarter than you, we will continue to show you the right path - being our brothers keeper

wesley80: Sorry it had to be you but I just had to get it off my chest. The number of times folks like you either through innocuous projections or outright stupidity have brought up Buhari's has simply been absurd. All these tacit endorsements and subtle campaigns MUST now stop.
@bolded, that's exactly why I said it doesn't matter if he's got legions of ediots as supporters.

So, the 12 million people that voted for him are idiots? You are saying nobody in that 12 million is wiser than a foolish Igbo bigot like you? I voted for Buhari and I have never voted for PDP and will never. Are you saying you are better than me considering anything even when you dont know who I am? Many of us can put your entire family where ever they may be (whether in the bush of SE) on permanent salary without thinking about it. We love our country and we want the country to move forward - the reason we are supporting a man that has been tested and can be trusted. A man we are sure we work only in the interest of the people because he has done this before in different capacity. You, a fool would prefer that we put the country in the hand of vagabonds because of ethnicity and hatred for other peoples belief. What manner of a human being are you? I have never seen a human being with animal gene...

Sincerely, words can't explain the level of your foolishness - it is very pathetic.

@Danjohn, thanks for your intelligent response to this fool. I agree with your viewpoint and calculations. This is however too complex for the likes of wesley80 to understand.

Which one be APGA? Is that the party in control of Mugadishu?

Akpan107: As far as Nigeria is concern, Buhari can never be a President in this Country again! God will never alow him to rule this wonderful Country. If the North cant succeed in Nigeria without controling the centre, let it be
David Mark/Fashola, anything short of that will never see the light of the day... I don talk my own.

What you are smoking is too cheap my man and it can harm your health... Get something a little expensive.

Why are Igbos so lousy creatures? That about 10% of the population will not vote for someone can't stop anybody from becoming the president of the country. Igbos are too crude and hopelessly too naive in their approach to national issues. The reason a Igbo may never be president of this country - guys grow up and start behaving like human beings. You can't have human body without human brain.

daemonville: all dose advocating for buhari presidency, hw many of you where alive when he was the head of state. or are you just advocating blindly out of sentiments. ask your parents, you will realize dat during his tenure he was just a figurehead, tunde idiagbon was d one doing all d anti corruption fight. aboki man no dey get sense. buhari without a good vice is as good as not having a president at all

I was alive - very desciplined government that worked towards instilling good virtues in Nigerians. A government that would have changed everything bad thing that is pulling us back today.

tripledub: If this newly merged party aim is to drive d retadeen 4rm aso rock come 2015, am sure a formidable force like...
(1) buhari/fashola
(2) buhari/oshiomole
(3) buhari/rochas
... ll get d job done. But Oshiomole is d judas to d merger secretly aligning himself wit d killer party come 2015 GEJ/Oshiomole.

Can there be anything like GEJ/Oshiomole? Explain what you meant by this...

Ngwakwe: For sure, if the SE feels they are welcomed into the brotherhood called APC/Nigeria on equality and spirit of reconciliation the bygone will certainly be reckoned as the past.

And who says SE should not be part of the merger? Everybody is welcomed brother but you can't insist that the flag bearer must be Igbo for you to have sense of equality - that is not fair and we can't start this relationship with such a conceited viewpoint.

Gojebor: Cpc is responsible for boko haram...dey dont care abt d masses they can sacrifice dem at wil to gratify dier urge for power......screw d Mega party. Jonathan wil nt b as harmful as dey wil eventually become...polities of personal interest.

Imbe...

Akpan107: We are only talking of politics here, we did not ask you of ur religion... After praising Buhari, you called urself Christian, so that we would say Christians are also in support of him!

You are a fooool to say this. I have many sensible xtians rooting for Buhari in Osun state - a youth movement for Buhari.

You think all xtians are evil like you forest animals from SE.

orgasticdance: If we are still having this debate, then maybe we are not ready as a nation to evolve

Dont be confused, the few guys saying no to mega party are Igbos - so, it is the Igbos who are not ready and probably dont know where they are headed.

The rest of Nigeria are ready and will rescue the country. The process has just started.

Fanpay: Non of them.

You want to exterminate Igbos - the fools will still vote for PDP.

Anyway, we are waiting to meet them at the pooling boots in Lagos come 2015. They will see "ata" in their eyes should they attempt to come out voting for PDP.

take dat: Why you no vex when the past PDP governors emptied the state treasury?

He is a fool - he sits there in the bush of Aba with his Amadioha mouth saying he is not happy that the people of Nassarawa voted for the party they belief in.

SlyIg: God forbid such mega party!
Before they'll finish settling themselves for the remnant to get to the grassroot,that means they will be famine in the country.
I'd better do with PDP.

Silly Igbos will not vote for progressives - we know that already.

Slizbeat: I knew it would go down this way. Any APGA member that joins the merger is just doing so for his/her selfish Interest.
APGA as a party i know can never join any force, they rather stay alone and fight. Amongst the 10 Governors who endorsed the merger, it is only Okorocha that is APGA. Right from time, Okorocha has being trying to become Nigeria's president for only God knows. Here is a quote of what the APGA faction said:



http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/02/merger-latest-apc-oppositions-mega-party-emerges/

In the above source, you would get to see what Annie Okonkwo said. Labour Party is the only party with a seating Governor that didnt join the merger and said they would rather join PDP.

Of what relevance is APGA in the merger in the first place?

Desdola: Merger or no merger, i still believe PDP would defeat them in this nigeria we are in.

In the bush of SE.

Ngwakwe: If the mega party or South West Yorubas and Northern Hausas cannot get one Igbo technocrat or politician who can take the mantle of leadership after all these years of their sons occupying the presidential villa in Abuja, then there's no hope or desire for South East to support this alliance and be used as compensate.

APGA will be better as a stand alone political party that will never present a candidate for presidency but can enter into alliance with any party that are ready to accede to its sets of demands for better development of South East and a well developed federal presence.

You need Igbos vote come let's negotiate.

Hear the foool. Yoruba and Hausa should get a Igbo technocrat to be president. The most foolish person I have ever read from.

[quote author=eagle,eye]I believe a Buhari presidency will be good for Nigeria, but be rest assured that if Buhari is fielded as the presidential candidate in 2015, he will lose. For now, the powers that be in Nigeria will use every means possible to truncate a Buhari presidency.[/quote]Let them try it... You just give your vote to him and leave the rest for us.

Mad Cow: Let us look at their most likely candidates;

1. BUHARI: This is the alliances strongest candidate. Nigerians however, have not forgotten his famous comments such as;

"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.

"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country,"

"It is a legal responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly , and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear,"

"What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full implementation of Sharia law,"

On Boko Haram he said: “Since the leaders now don’t listen to anybody but do whatever they wish, there is nothing the North can do.”

“If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’’


The man is practically a loose cannon.


To be continued...

You are a fooooooolish villager from SE.

achi4u: abeg make una stop mentioning Buhari and Tinibu they are old hang.

Think of Fashola/Rochas

You are either a kid, ignorant or an illiterate. I dont even think you know your country at all.

And these are people we chat with on NL... Waste of time.

ritux: Ok till then. Let's watch and see. That is if the merger will not even collapse before the end of 2013

See the foolish Igbo boy - he wants the merger to collapse.

[quote author=truelove.com]Do you think that buhari/fashola tickect will win?……………We IGBOs rigged the 2011 presidential election, and made Goodluck president.…The merged party will only win, if an IGBO man/woman gets the presidential/v.presidential ticket. If not , we will rig the 2015 presidential election again and retain Goodluck[/quote]Are you are so proud about rigging? Shame on you and your race.

And how many human beings/animals are in SE if the rest of Nigeria come together?

[quote author=eagle,eye]I am a fan of Buhari and I like his anti-corruption stance.
But any ticket featuring Buhari is bound to lose. I believe that Buhari is a good man and will help reduce corruption if elected. But, again majority of Nigerians will not vote for Buhari.
Buhari should step back and give advice to the younger generation politicians, Same with Tinubu.[/quote]Shut up your ignorant mouth. Who are the Nigerians that will not vote for Buhari? In the last election he single handedly pulled 12million votes - the 12million votes came from Ghana? With the merger, he will win with a wide margin.

strangest: Buhari should go and sleep.. all his mates has retired...

We are the one asking for him to contest and contest he must because we need him. Hence, we wont allow him to go and sleep.

ritux: Mark my words also. BUHARI will never, i repeat never be president of the federal republic of Nigeria again.

It is in your father's house they decide who can be president and who can't. You should be able to make a Igbo man president then.

tunapawizzy: A Buhari/Fashola ticket is what will give PDP nightmares....BUT if it sails thru then we shld prepare for reduced earnings as a country,,,,,,,because dose SouthSouth evil men will go and occupy their our resources

We will smoke them out of the creek...

Austinodark: You are a joke,d South East will never vote for a muslim muslim ticket,GEJ will win in 2015 again

But south east is going for GEJ already - so, it doesnt really matter. We dont need SE votes to win the race.

chi 3280: 2 Muslims can never hold that position. It has never happened anywhere. Buhari/ Rochas is a perfect match.

Abiola/Kingigbe was muslim/muslim and they won the election... Any other thing? Unfortunately, ACN has to produce the VP.

homesteady: i totally agree with you!!! Dats why i chose buhari....with buhari as deir presidential candidate dey are sure of capturing the entire North west and north east

And even north central with a wide margin - ACN and CPC strong influence there will make this happen. It is only SE and SS that we are not sure of but can the vote of SE and SE defeat the rest of Nigeria - lai lai.

[quote author=big_smoke]buhari/ rochas[/quote]Rochas for where? VP is coming from ACN and it is likely to be Fashola or Oshiomole though Oshiomole doesnt seem to be aligning yet.

This is to publicly announce my decamping to the newly formed mega party - APC.

UP APC, down PDP...

tiwasiaife: Yoruba has ruled unda obj 8yrs. Hausa has ruled for 35yrs +yaraduas own. South south is ruling. Were is igbo? I swear if presidential candidate is nt igbo man make them jst quash the party nw. Cos...

What about Ebele Azikwe Jonathan? Is he no longer Igbo? Igbos are greedy and the reason they go into crimes, etc.
