Happy birthday to you man of God

I come dey pity this GEJ guy, how far can Frederic Faseun, Gani Adams,
Kunle Olajide, Biodun Olujimi, Makanjuola Ogundipe, Femi Okurounmu, Gboyega Isiaka, Jide Adeniyi and Yinka Odumakin go in helping his ambition!
Are these people politically relevant individuals in the South-West or group of hungry expired politicians just looking for their own share of the national loot! Just thinking nooni o, don't "quoted" me o!

Inspite of the postponement, GEJ'S camp is still in confusion. I thought they have ready made strategies that they would use the period of extension to implement, but alas, GEJ is busy begging governors and other PDP stakeholders to save him from impending disgrace. GEJ has lost more votes than he could have won on FeBuhari 14, Nigerians have seen through his deceits and devilish desires to remain in power by any means and would express themselves through their votes on March 28. Some indolent people like GEJ are here praising him, they don't seem to live in Nigeria to realise that the little goodwill left for GEJ has been lost when they discovered his desperation to hold on to power at all cost. To GEJ and his handlers, they saw 6 weeks as eternity that would never come, forgetting that its a matter of just 42 days, now they are running from pillar to post making all manner of accusations daily. Today its INEC meeting with APC in Dubai, tomorrow its APC burning PCVs in Lagos. GEJ/PDP, your Waterloo is nearer than imagined. Those of you jobless paid commentators on this platform, (Seun even attested to this in one of his posts), continue, make enough money from GEJ as it lasts, your days of hunger begins again on March 28. Instead of you guys to look out for better things to do, you chose to be collecting peanuts from a government who don't care whether you live or die, a government that killed you instead of employing you after defrauding you of about N6bn in a scam immigration recruitment exercise. You will weep and gnash your teeth when your hunger begins again by March 28.

Look at the plate number of this Hilux, its actually a Rivers State vehicle. Buyers Beware. BTW, why not put this advert in the right section, Autos?

Members of the National Assembly
have vowed to resist any ploy by
President Goodluck Jonathan to
extend his tenure by six months on
the pretext of insecurity.
There has been speculation since the
February elections were shifted that
the President is on the verge of
sending a tenure extension proposal
to the National Assembly, using the
insecurity in the North-East as an
excuse.
However, senators and members of
the House of Representatives, in
separate interviews with SUNDAY
PUNCH on Friday, said the President
should bury the rumoured plan.
On Tuesday, the spokesman of the
All Progressives Congress in the
Senate, Senator Femi Ojudu, had
alleged at a forum that Jonathan had
tried to get some members of the
National Assembly to elongate his
tenure, but that he had so far met a
brick wall.
He reportedly spoke in Ibadan, Oyo
State at a social discourse organised
by the Afenifere Renewal Group, held
in honour of a former Ekiti State
governor, Kayode Fayemi.
He had said, “President Jonathan has
been begging us to allow him do two
more years but the Yoruba must cry
out and also be strategic in their call
for change.
“We are resuming in the next one
week and the President might likely
bring the proposal for the election to
be postponed for the next six months
or one year.”
But in separate interviews with
SUNDAY PUNCH , lawmakers across
political parties called on President
Jonathan to jettison the idea, if
indeed there was such.
APC caucus leader and minority
leader of the House, Mr. Femi
Gbajabiamila, dismissed the thought
of tenure extension as “baseless and
impossible.”
He told one of our correspondents
that the idea of tenure extension was
strange to him since there were no
grounds for it.
“It will not pass; there will be no
support for it. There is no point
wasting time and energy on that
issue,” he said.
The Deputy House Majority Leader,
Mr. Leo Ogor, also argued that,
tenure extension would not get
popular support, and that Jonathan
did not have such a plan.
The lawmaker from Delta State added,
“Mr. President is running a campaign
for his election. What does he need
tenure extension for? Is he afraid of
elections like the APC, who know
they will lose?”
Another lawmaker from Plateau State,
Mr. Bitrus Kaze, said members would
oppose a tenure extension proposal
because the mood of the nation was
not prepared for it.
Kaze said, “The mood in the House
of Representatives and even the
nation right now will not support
tenure extension; it will not fly.”
Similarly, a member of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance from Imo
State, Mr. Eddie Mbadiwe, said any
plan to extend the elections by six
months would be dead on arrival.
“Nobody will table such a proposal
and even if it comes, it will not pass.
There is no way anybody will
contemplate tenure extension,” he
added.
On his part, the Chairman, Senate
Committee on National Planning,
Senator Barnabas Gemade (APC,
Benue North East ), said, “As a
democrat who has been the National
Chairman of two major political
parties in this country in the past, I
can never support such an
undemocratic arrangement few weeks
to a general election that we have
been preparing for as a nation for
about four years.”
Also, the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Ethics and Privileges,
Senator Ayo Akinyelure, (PDP Ondo
Central) described the alleged tenure
elongation plot as “a fallacy, cheap
blackmail and an unwarranted
allegation to heat up the polity”
Akinyelure said, “Nobody would bring
such bill to the National Assembly
except if the person is an enemy of
democracy.”
A senator from the South West geo-
political zone told one of our
correspondents in confidence that
the plot was real because there were
moves by some members of the red
chamber to sell the idea to their
colleagues before the current break.
He said, “I can confirm to you that
the idea of tenure elongation was
sold to some of us before we went
on break.”
Other senators who corroborated this
view, also on conditions of
anonymity, noted the idea might
come up when the chambers resume
on Tuesday.
One of them said, “The real reasons
why the election was shifted by six
weeks was probably to perfect the
tenure elongation saga by using the
National Assembly members who
would resume next week Tuesday, to
execute the plot.”
The senators, however, vowed to
resist any attempt to extend the
tenure of the current administration
beyond the May 29 handover date.
When contacted, the Chairman,
Senate Committee on Information,
Media and Public Affairs, Senator
Eyinnaya Abaribe, said it was not true
that the President planned to use the
Senate to extend his tenure.
Efforts made to get the reaction of the
Peoples Democratic Party were not
successful. Calls made to its National
Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh,
indicated that his telephone line was
switched off.
Also, the call made to the party’s
Director of Media and Publicity, Mr.
Olisa Metuh did not connect.

Wia were. All dix people wen GMB ran for. Same post 2003,2007 and 2011?

There is time for everything my brother, GMB's time has come. Take it or leave it, GEJ must go. GEJ has offended the world, he has offended the heavens, he has offended the spirits. He has been weighed in a balance and found wanting, Otuoke straight.

minister2015:
GEJ has finally legalized corruption, stealing is not corruption. This guy is a disgrace to his forebears! utterly corrupt. PDP: Poverty & Death Party, better still Poverty Development Party!
PVC: Pertinent-to Vote-out Cluelessness!!!

Yesooo, PVC=Power to Vote for Change

The word of God is true. Whatsoever a man soweth, he shall also reap. The president went to Ondo and Anambra States to support candidates of other parties while working against the PDP, how can he be angry when this is being done to him by PDP governors? BTW, wet in concern me,
Sai Buhari!

kodded:
AM KINDA JEALOUS WITH THE NEW INNOVATION APC BRING DAILY UNLIKE OLD SCHOOL PDP


BUT SORRY #I HAVE DECIDED


GEJ TILL 2019
SAI GEJ!!!

yes, unlike PDP who started voting N5bn to each state to buy voters.

Yes. A lady once promised to get me a job and I was so excited about it having been looking for a good job for three years. Her uncle was the Personnel Manager in a blue chip company and the man has been known to give job to many graduate applicants in the past. After giving this lady a copy of my CV, she read through it and told me outrightly that the best way her uncle will be serious about giving me a job is for her to introduce me to him as her fiance. I told her that her uncle would want to know some other things about me, she asked me if marrying her would be a bad idea then I got her message. I didn't get the job because I turned her down. The lady was 34 then while I was just 30.
I work now as a Lecturer, I receive romantic moves from many of my female students daily which I turn down. They don't mean well for any married man.

Good leadership is needed in Nigeria, not good luck. Goodluck Jonathan is an epitome of bad leadership.

Political party stakeholders and
supporters must have gone into
spending overkill, bank loans must
have been accessed and properties
sold off with proceeds expended on
supporting candidates running for
office. A thick stratum of emotion and
piles of mental strain must have
been infused into the electioneering,
and the cost of preparation for the
adjourned democratic process earlier
scheduled for Saturday, February 14,
must have been more than an arm-
and-a-leg.
For those who are pulling for either
President Goodluck Jonathan or Maj.
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.),
what they had anticipated would be a
celebratory, champagne-popping
romantic love day-out on Valentine’s
Day hooraying their candidate’s
victory, will be nothing but a saggy
Saturday in Nigeria. The
announcement by the Independent
National Electoral Commission
Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, last
week that this month’s elections had
to be postponed for six weeks
because of the fear of Boko Haram’s
butcher-knives, bayonets and tanks
in some parts of the North, carves an
ominous picture.
I hope I am wrong; I hope I am
misreading the verbal and nonverbal
languages of some people seated in
high places; the postponement is an
awkward genesis of a strange
development in our polity, and the
attending noises for and against are
only the first leg in the roll-out
process of a national horror-movie
we all may be forced to watch. The
apprehension and suspense among
Nigerians about the future of the
country thus linger on with no
foreseeable end in sight. The truth,
my friends, is that the likelihood that
elections will be conducted in Nigeria
this year is not only gasping for
breath, it is sliding into a near-death
situation.
On Wednesday, February 4, 10 clear
days before the original election date,
I had written through the social
media platform these words about
the elections and they are still on
record: “… There may be no elections
held in Nigeria this month… I hope I
am wrong; I pray I am just jiving, but
I can’t stop thinking what I am
thinking. There is something eerie
about February 14, and it’s not
LOVE!”
On February 7, three days after my
prediction, Jega announced a six-
week postponement of the process
under what many now believe may
have been a situation of duress and
coercion. The Professor who had
aforetime bragged and almost sworn
that nothing would change the date
now came out defending what he had
viciously attacked. The new rhythm
and rhyme sung by Jega was not the
INEC Chairman’s script.
We all know that elections are
conducted in convivial cohort with
other agencies over which INEC has
no overriding charge; but if in the
hotbed of widespread terrorist wars
and battles like Pakistan, Syria, and
Afghanistan elections are conducted
without a botch or bungle; if in
places where bombs are dropped
hourly and guns are fired by-the-
minute communities still chose
leaders through the ballot box,
February’s elections in Nigeria
should have been held without
qualms.
Many of us now think that there is
more to the prevalent narrative of
fear-mongering; and there may be
something deeper in a realm
unknown and unseen where the
Machiavellian move for postponement
was hatched by men who assume
that their varying interests (whatever
they are), are threatened. The
security issue raised may be nothing
but a crafty gloss over the real
reason for a change in date.
With recent developments of
contradictory statements by those in
power, with mean-looking armed
men cordoning off our once-peaceful
streets and armoured tanks rolled at
the gates of opposition henchmen’s
homes, it is certain that the thought
of relinquishing power by President
Jonathan and the ruling party will
remain a wish, fantasia and chimera.
The lofty words of assurance and
beating-of-the-chest by Sambo
Dasuki regarding the sacrosanctity of
the new dates notwithstanding, some
people somewhere are only trying to
buy time to bite and spite Nigerians.
Every nation of the world has men
who are not in power but possess
immense authority over who is.
These men are found in all aspects
of a nation’s economy and they have
the power to build up and pull down.
These men are the ones Pastor
Tunde Bakare calls power-brokers,
and some of us call some of them
elder statesmen. Some religious
people call them powers-and-
principalities, occult folk call them
rulers-of-the-darkness of this world.
Some angry, perturbed and
beleaguered people in power may
call them “motor park touts”; but I
call them powerful and sometimes
surreal voices hiding behind the
mask of the Ides of March. These
men may have decided who will not
be sworn in as president come May
29. Are they God? No! They are men
who think they are God and get away
with many acts. If you mess with
them, they’ll mess you up; if you are
too stubborn, they’ll turn you into
stubble.
These people, in cunning compeer
with those who love to perpetuate
themselves in power, are flying a kite
that has no wind behind it in an
attempt to continue with a
government train whose engine is
about to pack up in ignominy.
Is the President amongst the men?
He has no reason to be. God loves
GOODLUCK JONATHAN, and he
knows it. A man who walked from
absolutely nothing to the pinnacle of
prominence and power? No!
Goodluck cannot be amongst those
men because good luck has fulfilled
destiny and he does not have to rule
for 10 years to prove anything. The
future of Nigeria is important to
Goodluck and he knows that he will
be pushing his good luck too far if
he is numbered among those men.
Oh No! The President cannot be one
of them. If he is, whoever is telling
him that he can pull a perpetuation
through is lying to him. Mr. President
knows that the consequences will be
untold. He knows the roof will cave
in on Nigeria, the walls will tumble
in, the land will be scorched, the
territory will be unbearably thermal,
and the foundations will be shaken.
That is not a legacy Mr. President
wants. Goodluck should know that
power is transient and God-given.
No! Mr. President cannot be
numbered amongst those men who
want a sit-tight situation. Jonathan
will not want to push his good luck;
our President loves Nigeria first
before himself! But who is scared of
a possible Buhari presidency? A lot
of people! They are those scheming
behind iron doors that we don’t have
an election. But much more than the
schemers, numbers are rooting for
the General.
I have bad news for those men,
whoever they are. The voices of the
people have the ability to demobilise
any horrendous conspiracy, the
voices of the people are resolute, and
the voices of the people are rooting
for a change. It was the
vociferousness of the people’s
voices that kicked a certain Ibrahim
Babangida to the side after the June
12 chaos; it was the unison in the
people’s voices that sank Sani
Abacha’s ship of hardship and terror
in 1998; it was the concurrence in
the people’s voices that compelled
Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar to hand
over power to a democratically
elected Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, and
the same voices in tandem screamed
against a Third Term sleek move by
the latter.
These same voices rose up
undauntedly for Jonathan to become
the substantive president after his
predecessor’s sudden demise, and
the same voices became the wind-
beneath his wings strolling to the
Presidency against this same Buhari
in 2011. These are the same voices
that some garroting Godzillas now
want to muffle and mute. Somebody
must remind them to remember
history. All we are asking for is that
the people’s voices be heard at the
polls. Are the elections going to hold
on March 28 and April 11? Yes!
Goodluck will let them hold; because
Goodluck knows that doing otherwise
is heavily pushing his good luck.

You can be sure that Prof Atahiru Jega is on his way out of INEC. There is nothing this coward government of GEJ denied that they didn't do at last. They denied any move to postpone the FeBuhari 14 election, GEJ even said it clearly to Senator John Kerry when he came calling, what a shame on a president whose words means nothing to himself! Nevertheless, Prof Femi Mimiko cannot conduct the election, GEJ can nominate him but remember that whether on leave or not, Jega's term expires by June 30, so no other substantive Chairman can be sworn in before that date. An Acting Chairman who is usually the most senior official of INEC will take over and conduct the election. This was the case when Emefiele was nominated to replace Sanusi Lamido Sanusi when GEJ placed him on an illegal suspension last year. The most senior Deputy Governor, Dr Sarah Alade acted as CBN governor till Sanusi's term expired before Emefiele (aka Mr Butcher) came in to butcher what is left of our currency and economy. This time around, GEJ will fail woefully, head or tail, he will go back to Otuoke come May 29, 2015.

Go and disqualify him now, as daft as your master GEJ. Mtchewww!!!

I remember Prof Humphrey Nwosu of the June 12 era, I feel for Prof Atahiru Jega at a time like this, I feel even more pity for Dr Ebele Jonathan. He will put his name into disrepute forever, where is IBB today? Where is Abacha? You don't go against the peoples wish in a democracy and prosper, I said it before, you can't work against this change and succeed, its like a Volkswagen Beetle car ramming itself into a moving Dangote Lorry loaded with cement. It is suicide mission. I doubt if certain people on this forum really cherish freedom, as it is said in the American State of New Hampshire, please guys, "Live free or die". Tell Oga Jona to have a rethink, he won't survive this fire he is setting by himself. The conflagration will be too much, it will consume Jona and his spin doctors, but Nigeria will surely survive, ire o!

PDP! PDP!! PDP!!! This campaign of calumny will not prevent Gen Buhari from sending your candidate packing from the villa come FeBuhari 14
You raised the issue of his certificate, that was dispelled, you said he is too old, that didn't fly, you brought fake medical report claiming its from ABUTH, that was disclaimed by ABUTH, you said he collapsed during campaign in Rivers State, Cross River, Bayelsa etc, you were ridiculed with that too, now you brought the issue of travel to US for medical attention, this will be dispelled within minutes from now
These goes to show that GEJ has nothing to show to the electorate as we have been saying, his managers like FFK and co were banking on rumour mongering and propaganda to set the people against him, please look for another thing to say, Buhari is winning this election, GEJ can die if hr like, this change has come to be, Nigeria must be free from these clueless marauders at all cost, PDP must die!

otipoju:
Is it not the same PDP that disrupted a APC rally in Ekiti or Ondo state(not too sure of the state)

Ondo State

Governor Amaechi of Rivers State is doing the same thing to GEJ/PDP. So its tit for tat. Please moderators, let this be in front page too since that of Amaechi and GEJ/PDP is in front page, thanks.

Let Buhari get "dongoyaro" leaves and present it as certificate, he will still get my vote and that my family

atlwireles:
when was the last time PDP won an election in Ondo?

Why was the governor so desperate to join PDP even when some of his followers in LP weren't happy about it

atlwireles:
"Mr. Femi Agagu defected alongside the former Speaker of
the State House of Assembly, Victor Olabimtan.
Femi Agagu and Olabintan in Akure today
The duo defected this morning with thousands of supports
from the Peoples Democratic (PDP) including past state
executives members who served under the administration
of the late Olusegun Agagu".


Please remind me the last time these men won an election in Ondo?

For your information, these are the people that made PDP thick in the state, the incumbent governor having lost all electoral value decided to join PDP of recent since he understood that GEJ who doesn't see beyond his nose, would recognize him as the authentic party leader and as such these guys would labour for PDP and he would take the glory, let us now see how the renowned political prostitute will swing the coast of victory to the side of the outgoing president in Ondo State

Splashme:
Former this, former that

They are inconsiquential

Inconsequential or what did you say! No problem, gradually the coast is becoming clear that GEJ ain't going anywhere other than Otuoke come May 29, 2015

bigazu:
As long as bishop Oyedepo and pastor Adeboye are solidly behind GEJ, I hv no doubt that jonathan will win no matter how hard it looks now. Am very sure Bishop Oyedepo has called obj to order. During friday's night vigil, Bishop said the winners family will determine who bcoms nigeria's president spiritually and there is no way a sharia fanatic will rule nigeria. We in d winners family are praying seriously for jona, and by God's grace he will win. Pastor Adeboye will always support what bishop Oyedeo says. I see buhari crying again after feb14. GEJ till buhari turns born again.

You must be high on weed!

Too late, even OBJ can't help him now, too late, he wasted the goodwill of the Nigerian people

Johnpaul2k2:
Its Ekwueme EWU


22 states Stands For GEJ

plus Rivers, Imo, Edo, Kano, lagos and more much

I wonder how haters will win

Can you please tell us those 22 states! You must be high on something!

PassingShot:
This location cannot be more than 500 square meter!

And PDP will surely get a sizeable crowd in Ibadan no matter what. There are a lot of lay-about jobless people who will gladly troop there just to catch a glimpse of Mr. Clueless. I am from there and I know what I'm talking about here.

To make his matter worse, he doesn't have any politician of note from Ibadan to pull any strings for him. Adedibu is no more. Akala is no more with him. Teslim cannot even win his local government in the governorship election. Who else ooooo? Arisekola is no more also. And Ladoja is not in his camp. So, who the hell can pull the strings in Ibadan for GEJ?

bunch of rented crowd
GEJ/PDP is a bunch of deceit, when GEJ had his presidential tally in Lagos last week, people were moved from as far as Ondo State, one of those who went is my student, they were shortchanged on their return back home, paid N5000 each instead of the promised N20000
PDP, deceiving Nigeria and Nigerians since 1999

They are only looking for their own share of the N21bn loot jare, mtchewww!!!
