Early in 1997,[size=15pt] as military ruler Sani Abacha planned his self-succession and transformation into a civilian president, a group of 18 prominent northern politicians [/size](later known as the G-18), some of whom had served previously as ministers under Abacha, came together to oppose Abacha's continued leadership. [size=15pt]Southern politicians then joined in the opposition and the group came to number 34 members (G-34)[/size]. With the 1998 death of Abacha and dissolution of the five parties his regime had established, the G-34 movement was uniquely positioned to form a new political party because of its already existing loose coalition and structure.[size=18pt] As the movement declared its political ambitions, it was joined by several strongly pro-Abacha officials, a group of retired army generals, and several other smaller political associations. The new "party" was divided from the start along these lines. The PDP Mission statement and Directive Principles reflect the lack of any ideological consensus and call simply for the creation of a dynamic economy and democratic society.[/size]

Truth hurts, right? Deal with it.

Dr. Elex Ekwueme was the founder and Chairman of the Institute of Civil Society, an organisation that gave birth to the G34, and G34 gave birth to PDP.

its the yorubas that started calling it a yoruba party and thats what is stalling their progress in other regions just like how apga have been tagged and igbo party and CPC northern party , they dont see us going about calling PDP an igbo party because it was founded by the igbos.

Jakumo:
Air traffic in North America is probably the most dense anywhere on the globe. At any given time around the clock, there may be up to 10 thousand aircraft [s]in flight, cris-crossing the United States at between 1 and 7 miles above ground, ranging from light private aircraft and helicopters to lumbering passenger jets and military transporters. A snapshot of say Nigerian airspace at that same moment would tally just a few dozen flights aloft, dropping to virtually none at night when power cuts darken most airports in the country.

Statistically, therefore, more frequent air crashes and near misses are bound to be recorded in American airspace than in Nigerian airspace, not because air travel is riskier in the United States, but because America's friendly skies literally teem with civil and commercial aircraft, while Nigerian skies are relatively uncrowded. When the reliability of ground-based air navigation VOR transmitters and airport-based ILS instrument landing equipment is factored into the equation, however, the safety of air travelers in far LESS assured in Nigeria, in comparison to the situation throughout most industrialized Western nations.[/s]

PhysicsMHD:
It could reduce some of the do or die politics (violence, thuggery, intimidation), and it could bring attention to previously ignored areas that women might tend to focus more on (female mutilation in some parts of the country, HIV, child labor, etc.). I just think it would change the "atmosphere" of Nigeria's politics. Sorry if that's vague, but I just have a hunch that things would be a bit different.

Eko Ile:
Unfortunately, these ignorant clowns think with their akpu breath. How do you compare without setting basis and benchmarks according to charged responsibilities and realities on the ground?


I'm surprised they are not posting pictures of their village roundabouts sef,
