Dharniel:
The answer is simple, yes they have the constitutional right to vote.

So why the threat? Nobody threatened Nigerians to vote Jonathan or drown in River Niger

My heart is filled with anger over inflammatory comments and a message of "hate" from an OBA who is supposed to be non-partisan, instead of soliciting cooperation of other tribes for APC to win Lagos, he resorted to threatening the igbos, few questions from the global message of hate
- Do Igbos as Nigerians have the constitutional right to vote any candidate of their choice ?
- Are they planning to vote for an igbo man to become Lagos State Gov.?
- Asides from the Igbos, Won't other tribes including yorubas(lagosians) in PDP vote Jimi Agbaje?, If they do what will happen to them?
- Did Jimi Agbaje commit a crime for being in PDP and becoming their flagbearer?
These questions responded with all sense of sincerity shows how irrational and partisan a Monarch can be, I advise he apologize and withdraw forthwith this message of hate capable of inciting violence and ethnic disharmony between the igbos and yorubas in Lagos

I received an sms wishing me happy easter celebration,I had to call him after exchanging pleasantries,he complained he just returned from work(He repairs Generator) the wife(Less than a Year in Marriage) served him a plate of rice with the head and one leg,She said her friends came around that she dished food for them also,I had to calm him down not to take vent his anger on the wife..just thinking why the Man gets the head after buying the Chicken? ..Marriage and Issues..Little Things Matters

APC National Excos shouild call this boys to order,the elections has been won and lost,Though we lost we accepted it in good faith,This APC youths are now inciting Nigerians and PDP with this "Mock Burial Procession"...They should be cautioned

EZEUDENE:
Let me start by saying congratulations to Muhammadu
Buhari for winning the presidential election and emerging as
Nigeria’s president-elect. I have come to realise that
Buhari’s victory is the will of God for Nigeria and so, I have
come to accept him as my president.
I also want to congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan
for being mature enough to accept defeat and concede the
election. This man remains one of the greatest Nigerian
presidents because he could have decided to set Nigeria on
fire but chose the honourable path.
I want to also recognise all my fellow PDP e-warriors that
stood beside the President. Thank you for your resilience
and unflinching support all through the struggle. Also to
recognise all the APC e-warriors who fought bravely in
support of their party despite all odds and won the battle.
MY MESSAGE FOR BUHARI
Now that you have become the President, I want to let you
know that the change Nigerians really need is not the
change of personalities or political party, Nigerians are just
tired of the way things have been going in this country.
Nigerians are suffering; we struggle to provide basic needs
that ordinarily the Government should provide. Thieves
continue to steal and get richer while the majority of
Nigerians are languishing in poverty. This is the reason why
Nigerians have decided to give you a chance; the people
believe that God can use you to turn things around in this
country that is why you were voted for last Saturday.
(1) Fight corruption to a complete halt in this country
especially in the petroleum sector. Sanitize the NNPC,
ensure transparency and accountability. Nigerians all over
should be able to benefit from our God-given resources. A
few cannot continue to hold this country to ransom and
steal at will.
(2) Provide stable and reliable power supply for Nigerians.
This will enable SME’s to thrive and encourage investors to
flock massively into the country. The cost of doing business
in this country is crazy because of high energy costs. We
must do away with generators in this country for good Mr
President.
(3) Please diversify our economy. We cannot continue to
depend heavily on oil in Nigeria. Sit down and take a good
look at the six geopolitical zones in this country and find a
way of harnessing all economic potentials for the good of
all Nigerians. Our economy must be less dependent on
crude oil.
(4) Deal ruthlessly with corrupt persons who believe that
they can continue to steal and do business as usual. This is
a democracy but Mr President, you are the C-in-C and you
have enormous powers at your disposal, please use them!
Don’t be like Jonathan who allowed his Government to be
hijacked by criminals who looted the nation dry while
Nigerians cried.
(5) Finally, Buhari could be the man that God could use to
finally cement Nigeria’s bond of unity by handing over to an
Igbo-Nigerian president after his tenure in office whether 4
or 8yrs. Like the Elder statesman Yakubu Gowon said,
electing an Igbo president would heal the old wounds of the
civil war. Buhari’s name will be written in gold both in the
hearts of the Igbos if he can be the instrument to achieving
Igbo presidency in this country. If Buhari, being a Fulani
from the North can transfer presidential power to the Igbos
after him then he will be like the hinge holding Nigeria
together.
A WORD FOR THE SE
I want to thank my geopolitical zone the SE for standing
with Jonathan till the end. Yes, he lost the election but we
have made a bold statement that we can stand with you till
death when we give you our word. There was immense
pressure to abandon the minority Ijaw man and join the
majority but we refused and stood with the minority till the
very end. We must however join hands with the new
president to move this great nation forward. Personally, I
have concluded that Nigeria has come to stay since we
have survived this 2015 presidential election. Let us also
build good bridges with other geopolitical zones so that we
can produce Nigeria’s president after Buhari. No zone can
produce the president alone in this country; you need the
support of at least four zones to produce the president!
Let us also eschew bitterness and drop all these talk about
Biafra; we are Nigerians and we have everything to gain in
this country if we can play our game well.
A WORD FOR THE NIGER DELTA
Thank God we can now say that Nigeria has produced a
president for the first time from the minority in the person of
Goodluck Jonathan who is about to leave office. I can
understand the pain/anger because of the outcome of this
election but the truth is that what has happened is the will
of God for Nigeria; I see the finger of God in all these. This
is Buhari’s time to rule this country; he is a man of destiny.
He has come just at the right time to save this country from
gliding into abyss.
Stop calling the Yorubas traitors and all that. Remember
that the Yorubas overwhelmingly voted for your son in 2011
and rejected this same buhari. Check the figures and see
that buhari was soundly rejected by the Yorubas in 2011. All
Nigerians believed that Jonathyan would be a Messiah that
would come and turn things around in this country; this was
a man who had no shoes to go to school, who was from a
poor background. Nigerians voted massively for him only to
be so disappointed that he has not been able to make their
lives better. Things are much more difficult for Nigerians
now than when Jonathan took over. This is the reason why
the Yourubas have rejected Jonathan this time. It is not out
of hatred or gang-up but because he has not performed
well! Same story about most of the MB and that is why
Jonathan lost the MB. Nigerians never had it this bad, state
Governors are owing salaries for months, people are
hungry, unable to pay school fees and unable to meet their
basic human needs.
How foolish can a Government be? Imagine someone that
wants to come for a second term and civil servants were
not paid their December salaries to celebrate Christmas!
This is just unbelievable! It was in December last year that I
began to question this Government in my mind but I still
continued my relentless support on Nairaland for Jonathan.
I saw my relatives who were Civil Servants going hungry
during the Christmas celebrations, some could not even
purchase new clothes for their kid, how painful!
As for me, I will do my very best in my own little capacity to
support Buhari in changing this country for good. If things
should continue the way they were going under Jonathan I
wonder what the future of our children would be to be
honest. It is God that has pushed out Jonathan not
Nigerians because of all the prayers and crying that has
gone up to him.
Let me also use this medium to appeal to all reasonable
Yorubas on Nairaland to prevail on their people to stop
opening funny threads about Igbo this Igbo that just
because Jonathan lost. The APC people should stop
opening threads to tell other Nigerians ‘Ntorrr’, we should
move away from such pettiness and mediocrity.
A WORD TO THE CORE NORTH
And to the core North, let this election be a lesson and a
reference point. A southerner sitting as president presided
over his own defeat, accepted the results and went ahead to
congratulate the winner from the north. In 2011 when
Jonathan defeated Buhari, he refused to concede defeat but
shouted that the election was rigged when we all know that
he was defeated by Jonathan then. Nobody is burning tyres
on the road in the South, nobody is burning Mosques,
nobody is burning houses/cars and nobody is going about
killing Northerners. Should the Northerners lose elections in
future we expect them to accept the results and not disturb
the peace. Jonathan has set a very good precedent not only
for Nigeria but Africa.

#Word..U nailed it

The politics of under-performance has started,these were the exact words of Gen.Buhari,Nigerians are very much ready to throw him out and bring the desired change if he fails to make us proud in 4 years,The "CHANGE" that brought him in will throw him out.

Is quite unfortunate we(PDP) lost,all the same I will still play an advisory roiole if need be to move Nigeria forward..For the political appointees I see more ministers from "Northern Extraction" with Ngige-Health,Fashola-SGF,Amaechi-Interior Minister,Rochas-Special Duties,CBN Gov-North,Finance Minister-North,Dr.Adesina-Agric(Dis Guy Good)...Asiwaju Tinubu will surely nominate for various boards of federal parastatals and Agencies cos he is the architect of this victory APC is enjoying @ the moment

#Nigeria2015..Over 400 Card readers declared dead on arrival..Nigerians not happy with the failure of Card Readers as it is indeed a Big Challenge as far as this election is concerned

Here are few questions for the Op,
?...what attracted the side chic to your husband?
.....Can that which attracted one side chic capable of attracting others?
Your guess is as good as mine,YES the power of MONEY...most side chics are there for the money
Most ladies in Naija are slaves to Money,They just lack CONTENTMENT

Simple Logic:The COST is not commensurate with the INPUT,it makes more sense if its for primary education or even Secondary,no be levels matter..am just being rational...#Quote Me.."If Dangote Paid Such when he was starting he wouldn't have been Nigeria's Richest Man"

duperola:
am creating ds thread 4 a friend who is on d verge of desperation.she sought my advice on what else 2 do 2 attract eligible serious guys 2 herself!

She should just be herself and don't look desperate,desperation scares men away very fast and going by her age she needs to socialize more to meet men older than her or about her age range and the best place is attending conferences and proffessional courses or if she is into business let her join women in biz(WIMBIZ) and also be close to her pastor/priest,suprisingly most guys do marry early dis days 30-35yrs once they have a job or doing well in business

bennyrazz:
it is single ladies that are having negative influences on married men. There are the ones that dress unclad to office, church e.tc. There are the ones that are after married men. You go to a eatery, they bug you. You drive, they flag you down to ask for lifts, you dress good, they approach you for directions. In-fact they seduce you with all sort of things. So blame them single ladies, not married men.

Pyschological Seduction?

Shiningmama:
Hmmmmmmmm!

I'm coming

E be like say u know wetin dey but u no wan talk abi...Make I ask you as a married woman who will you blame? Say something now o

Having read several posts on why you see many unmarried single ladies @ 30 and above,a salient point is the OVERBEARING INFLUENCE of Married Men on the life of single ladies,Using Lagos as a case study most single ladies 25 and above dated or is dating a married man,They squander money on these ladies cos they know marriage is not in picture..I don't know who to blame ...The married man dating single lady or the single lady enjoying the wealth and company of married men..The recent case involving one SilverBird TV pregnant Lady who was reportedly stabbed to death by her Married ManFriend comes to mind..May her Soul Rest in Peace..Amen

Na Wao,I left Lekki Phase 1 around 3.30pm May God save us

So which one we go marry? The behaviour of a lady is in most cases dependent on present day circumstance,you might get the opposite when times and conditions change,dats why Ladies are very very unpredictable...If I have to advise guys please Marry a Lady that understands you and is hardworking,respectful and humane..I always look out for the last 3

In simplified terms list the sins of Musliu Obanikoro? The man that want David Mark impeached on what grounds? Be Specific

The Emiment Prof. Of Law,Ben Nwabueze in a public lecture propsed an option of a unity govt. Where all the major political parties will present nominations for appointment including the Vice-Presidential Slot,He bemoaned the winner takes all attitude of Nigerian Politicians,what's your take? Is a coalition Government Viable in our nascent democracy?
...NB: Pls this is not for APC campaign or PDP publicity..pls discuss the issue as it is

i will like Sahara reporters to feed us with the reports of massive looting in Lagos State by Tinubu and His Cohorts and also give us a detailed analysis of the lootmania during the Old Odili Govt. in which Amaechi(APC-Campaign DG) was adjudged the richest speaker in Nigeria..ALL POLITICIANS IN NIGERIA ARE CORRUPT AND ENJOY THE COMPANY OF FRAUDSTERS

I wish to tender a public apology to the APC Vice-Presidential Candidate for wrong labelling and misrepresentation of facts,I also wish to implore both parties APC and PDP to discuss more pertinent issues as it relates to our overall well being,Thanks
