Apart from Engr Ndukwe, chairman of Commission, Alhaji Ahmed Joda and Chief Patrick Kentebe who were sworn in the same day and made Board members of the commission in April 2000 also vacated office in April. Many had been interested in who emerged as head of the commission because the nations telecoms sector is a vibrant one that has emerged as one of the most successful and a reference point for the Federal government. The telecommunications sector has over the years emerged as a sector that drives the development of other sectors. The fact that it is one of the fastest growing and is the biggest market in Africa beating South Africa to the second position and attracting the interest of foreign investors seeking for investment opportunities and a chance to partake in the market, despite the challenges posed by inadequate infrastructure is a commendable one http://odili.net/news/source/2010/jul/23/214.html |

[size=28pt]jonathan ebelechukwu azikiwe goodluck why do you think Obasanjo children were looking for me. because they know the PDP is finished in Yorubaland. The know I could shift the vote in favour . They did thier homework. Even bankole or Iyabo Obasanjo and others are going to find it hard winning election again. Yorubas are done with the PDP jonathan ebelechukwu azikiwe goodluck. That why people have been trying to get me to return home and help the PDP so that it could boost thier figures. Dora is digging Jonathan gravel yard. That why I said go with sudan option or remove the yorubas,edo,delta. Most nigerian are yoruba people. Look at my stat. [/size] |

Re: Presidency Appoints Dr Eugene Ikemefuna Juwah Ceo Of Ncc by Becomrich0: 5:10pm On Jul 24, 2010 |
philip0906, why do you think Obasanjo gave all the position to igbos and south south when the south were suppose to get the position? If Obasanjo have given the position to Yoruba , would you ever heard of Dora Akunyili or Soludo, or Nwoke or Iweala etc. No. He wanted to be fair to others. Where would dora be if Obasanjo was tribalist like Dora Akunyili? And Jonathan should know better. Jonathan would do himself the greatest good by getting rid of Dora. It is time for her to go home. |
Re: Presidency Appoints Dr Eugene Ikemefuna Juwah Ceo Of Ncc by Becomrich0: 6:50pm On Jul 24, 2010 |
3 parties candidates? you said. You still we would win, because in democracy it is the one with the highest vote. Who ever wins Yorubaland would come out with the highest vote. Those other state jonathan could get vote have less people from satellite. The big important price in nigeria is yorubaland and PDP are gone. The contitution says, we just need to win and 1/3 in 2/3 state. we need just 1/3 in 13 states to win. Jonathan can not get that 1/3 in 24 states and cant win clear too. see enugu state.

Re: Presidency Appoints Dr Eugene Ikemefuna Juwah Ceo Of Ncc by Becomrich0: 7:13pm On Jul 24, 2010 |
Is best option is to go for clear reform or loss the election, that way, he takes the vote from his opponent. Even if he cant have it, they cant get it too. but as long as they have the fraud census, they have edge on him. They do not even need to come to the south to win. They already claim false result already. So he is digging his own gravel by not going for clear reform. With clear reform they loss majority but without clear reform, they use the false majority to win at the polls, this is what they have alway done. And long as Dora akunyili continue to decieve him not to go for reform , he is finished. It is bye bye to jonathan in 2011. He has to pick between dora and all this igbo propaganda or if he want to win.? His best chance is reform , it remove the false majority from the north. He has failed to do so. And the Yorubas would not vote for him and the North would not vote for him too. he is better off removing the false majority. The way his party members can use it as an election tool to win . Without reform , it is bye bye PDP and bye bye bankole and Iyabo obasanjo, they know that, and most Yoruba in the PDP at the moment knows that too that Jonathan has put them in disadvantage. and they have no choice than to drop him for themself, and you can see, why they went all out to shift the day of the senate election before the presidential election. So that they have no tie with Jonathan. he is not been smart. they are only trying to dissociate themself from him, because he would not help them in the poll. They are only trying to protect themself . |

[size=14pt]Senate confirms Juwah to head NCC[/size] THURSDAY, 29 JULY 2010 [/b]19:50 ANONYMOUS [b]The Senate today in Abuja, confirmed Eugene Juwah as the Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commissio (NCC) thus ending the four–month search for replacement of Ernest Ndukwe, the erstwhile chief executive of the commission whose tenure expired in March, 2010. Juwah’s confirmation came alongside other nominees for the vacant positions of commissioners at the telecom regulatory agency board including Peter Egbe Igho, a retired permanent secretary from BenueState who replaces Alhaji Ahmed Joda as Chairman. Others are Okechukwu Itanyi, former Deputy Governor of Enugu, who replaces Stephen Bello as Executive Commissioner and Mohammed Bintube from the North East who replaces Patrick Kentebe as Commissioner.State The major casualty of Juwa’s confirmation was the indictment of the Senate Committee on Communications, chaired by Senator Sylvester Anyanwu, which was summarily dissolved for what the Senate President, Senator David Mark, described as poor performance. Mark then ordered that the nominees be screened by the Senate during the plenary, and they were subsequently confirmed. http://www.businessdayonline.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=13218:senate-confirms-juwah-to-head-ncc&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18 |
