Uncle Sege has boxed these people into a corner . . . grin grin grin

They have only two options . . . either they agree to obey the constitution and lose two years out of their 3 years . . .or they try to fight the scenarion and hence end up speeding up the break up of Nigeria.

. . .Sege has since moved base from Ota to Abuja, to personally man the Goodluck faction.

Ibori has relocated to Dubai to rally the David Mark faction (Ibori wants to be VP under a Northerner).

By Everest Amaefule and Oluwole Josiah, Published: Tuesday, 1 Dec 2009

President Musa Yar’adua

As anxiety continues to mount over the health of President Umaru Yar’Adua, the Federal Government on Monday called for more prayers for the No.1 citizen who is undergoing treatment for acute pericarditis at the King Faisal hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

In a statement by the Minister of Information and Communications, Prof. Dora Akunyili, the Federal government pleaded that Yar’Adua’s family and the nation needed prayers in these “trying times. . .”

http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art200912012351592

Are they praying to follow the constituition or PDP's law's or the law's of a cabal? Hmmmmmm.

Ibori has succeded in breaking the Niger delta solidarity into 2, Delta Militant will be routing for Ibori while the Rivers and Bayelsa Militants will be routing for Goodluck. Plus Ibori has the federal might behind him, they will easily crush Jonathan's faction if there was a conflict.

Oh please!!! Ibori has NO FACTION; Jonathan has NO FACTION, only a bunch of CYBER mouths with no BARK!!! lol

When push comes to shove, I hope the Nigerian people do that which is IN THEIR GOOD and that is face the next "Angel" rather than SETTLE with the devil they know.
Re: Dr. Goodluck Jonathan Comes Under Pressure To Resign by komekn(m): 3:18pm On Dec 01, 2009
Knowall,

On this occasion you certainly do not know all, Ibori has quite a few paid and expected to be paid sycophantic supporters but definitely not within the Delta region militant groups as a whole.

Currently he still remains a desperate ex-convict soon to be convicted, in reality he is part of the equation of constitutional manipulation and conspiracy to circumvent due legal process, that wil eventually fail.

The militancy in the ND is greater than Ibori and Goodluck. They have no say (Ibori) or little (Goodluck) in MEND.
MEND is very shadowy and very well organised, even Henry Okah himself, will tell you that he isn't the boss.

I'm afraid that most of the posters on this thread grossly underestimate the desire of the beneficiaries of the status quo, to maintain this status quo.

many of una wey dey romanticize de idea of goodluck to suddenly become a cowboy, when everybody know say de man was shell shocked when dem give am VP position, despite de fact say efcc was pursuing his wife for theft, go dey disappointed.

if una tink say de king makers for north dey suicidal or stupid make una think again. should de office of de president become vacant, de only ting wey go happen na smooth transition wey go make goodluck president. goodluck go come hand pick him own VP as required by de constitution (ehr, with de consent of de powers dat be).

goodluck go be lameduck president because him go announce say, for de sake of peace and harmony, him no go run for de office come 2011. 2 years dey very short and after goodluck, another northerner like yaguda or kaduna current governor go rule naija for another 8 years. dis one be de most likely scenario.

Forcing Goodluck to resign will create unrest in the nigerdelta creeks as coalition of militants have already threatened fire.

First of all, wellcome back. Now I know you are one of those people that has been destabilising Nigeria. Your absence at this critical times speaks volumes. shocked shocked shocked

Anybody would have been shell shocked, but it did not come out of the blue; Goodluck always knew it was between him and Odili (with Odili edging it). What you call shell shocked is the understated nature of many an Ijaw man (few are noise makers like boyloaf and Ateke).

If some of these people aren't suicidal. why make the suggestion about Jonathans resignation? If it is that they are raising the stakes in the hope of bigger fruits, it is a game that could backfire big time.

I don't see why PDP should give the North another 8 years after Goodluck. He would have taken less than two years out of Yar Adua's slice, the North should be given 6 years, after which the incumbent will resign for a Southerner. How does that sound?

MEND disowns JRC over secession threat
National News Dec 1, 2009

By Emma Amaize
WARRI — Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) weekend divorced itself from a statement by the Joint Revolutionary Council (JRC) on Sunday, threatening possible secession by Ijaw ethnic group should Vice President Goodluck Jonathan be forced to resign from office.

. . . .

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta is apolitical and will continue to remain focussed in the fight for land ownership and resource control for the impoverished people of the Niger Delta. We will neither act in haste nor be drawn into political speculation.”

They only said that they are an apolitical organisation. They did not tell you their reaction. You can get knowledgeable about Nigeria by reading and paying attention, even if you are far away. There's no reward for screaming at the top of your voice while as ignorant as a stump.

The things you're trying to imply will make even newborn babies in the ND roll in laughter on their little round bellies.

What has God to do with this again? Why don't we leave God and figure to do better on our part? I mean it is not like the NORTH put the SOUTH in shackles all this while.

No matter what in any given country, there are persons known as the custodians of government. And this sects control the government for a given time. If not for the fact that obasanjo was strong enuff, he would has lost his second term bid or gotten impeached. He wisely destabilized the north and that led to his success of the bid, despite settling the majorities of the custodians with oil blocks, its on record that only 3 southerns had oil blocks, I am not saying this for someone to put up obama's larger than life success, it happened in the military and they will it on democracy , I thank God democracy has its options,

This is Nigeria, I know what I mean, I am even afraid an Igbo man will never rule this country,

When you say "ya people", do you mean Southerners as a whole or do you mean ND minorities? You can get radically different ideas if you go one way rather than the other.

If no Nigerian will voluntarily resign after 6 years (which is incredibly generous), then the right thing should be done with 4 years zoned to the North after Yar Adua / Goodluck.

Also, this pushing of Yar Adua's in-laws is a very unhealthy development in Nigerian politics. When that sort of thing happened in Togo (a much smaller country), some Nigerians were actually incensed enough to call for invasion. What is happening in Northern politics?

This business of asking Nigerians to pray for a man who does not consider himself sick should stop. Its just a case of adding insult to injury.


If he is sick he will resign on health grounds and I bet I will be the first to pull out my rosary to do a Novena (NINE DAYS OF PRAYER) for him.

If he has not resigned then he is not sick so why are we praying for him?

What can one say at this point. Every crisis benefits someone and it is increasingly looking more like some people are benefiting from the this seeming political crisis. I heard someone say that Yar'adua did not hand over to Goodluck Jonathan but any way I could have joined issues with that was better done by an article posted on the following URL: http://www.reliablereporters.com

e be like say, you, ibb, and i, agree on one ting. de federal character nonsense needs to be scrapped. we need competent people wey go govern us with high integrity and competence, no be all these thieving leaders wey don dey rule us for de past 40-50 years.

de ting be say, these incompetent leaders come from just about every region in de country.  as far as i dey concerned, whether person wey go move the country forward come from east, west, south, or north,  it does not not matter.
