With the Calibre of Personalities in this group, I think d politics of this country is gonna be a bit interesting come 2015
ReplyDeleteInteresting in the sense that looters have hijacked another party giving the masses no hope?
DeleteIt does seem like the looters may have moved into the party, but if truly the APC has its own Values and Ideals which seems to have been working where they hold power, then the entrance of these guys into the party would not be a problem. One thing that's pertinent is that the founders of the party based it on a set of goals and objective which would (or rather should be the guiding principle of any (or every) member whether old or new. So interesting it will still bem
DeleteYes, my broda d race is set
ReplyDeleteThe faces of shameless thieves. Iyabo Obasanjo is very right about what she wrote. These are the group of people that have being stealing our common wealth. Nigerians wake up; dont allow this people to continue to eat the National cake ; they all dont mean well to us. Faces of the evil godfathers. God will reward you all for the evil you all have done to my beloved country.

ReplyDeleteI CAN NEVER VOTE TO APC PERSON THE ARE ALL THIEVES,FOOLS,
ReplyDeleteAm still trying to draw the difference between PDP and APC with these recent developments. Maybe Nigeria is gradually becoming one party country becuse all these people being integrated to APC are the same fold in PDP. Anyway time will tell.
ReplyDeleteIf all of those people die in Nigeria, Nigeria will be good by five day, THIEVES,

Who is fooling who? Old sour wine in a brand new bottle. It just shows Buhari and Obasanjo are only interested in power! How do we explain the merger of these same corrupt politicians? If Ibori had not been in Holloway Prison at this time, he would have been in this photoshoot!
ReplyDeleteNigerians should wake up! These are the same people that have deterred our progress in the last 40 years. May God help us and open our eyes. Buhari and Obasanjo? Rochas Okorocha and Nuhu Ribadu? Rotimi Amaechi and El Rufai? Even Obasanjo and Atiku?? It just shows these people are just interested in personal aggrandizement and have no principles or ideology.
ReplyDeleteNuhu Ribadu arriving at the venue in Femi Fani Kayode's car? Arrangee Government in the making. I am looking for a new party to vote for. What are decent Nigerians doing, allowing these same old people to hijack the Nation. We should organise ourselves and wrest power from these people by actively participating in politics, and I dont mean just going out to vote for who ever is served to us!!! We should join politics to contest.
ReplyDeleteFani Kayode the Tribalist!buhari,the religion bigot,Saraki,the thief! Tinubu,the Thief Emeritus! I weep for Nigeria!! Maybe Labour can deliver,we haven't found Hope yet!
ReplyDeleteCrazy people
ReplyDeleteUseless set of people, they don't have any intrest for nigeria
ReplyDeleteSeriously we shouldn't vote for both parties ds people are out to destroy nigeria. We have has enough of the making silly promises and choping all the money...say NO to PDP and APC!!!!!!!!!

Be ye not deceived brothers. I live in UK but I weep daily for my country. These so called APC shouting about corruption have done absolutely nothing to eradicate it and are still not offering a way forward. Corruption is an institution in my beloved country and all these guys including Jonathan, are neck deep in it. I call on everyone to only listen to them when they talk about how to get rid of this corruption and create jobs for millions of unemployed Nigerians who are willing and able to walk. My question is simple. What have they got to offer?
ReplyDeleteFor APC to be consider. Credible they should be mindful of PDP decampee that they admit.the party should consist of people with un queastionable character.
ReplyDeleteThis goes to show Nigerians that are to wake up to the reality that Nigeria politicians are more or less one and the same irrespective of the party in which they are. And Nigerians are also culpable to this present comedy! When people who are genuine and live by what they say decided to help, we Nigerian refuse to support them. Gani Fawehinmi floated a party in Nigerians & we failed to vote for his party! Not even at a local government level! So why are we all crying wolf now? We are all crying for a change but we don't want to pay the price! My opinion: we are not ready for changes yet. May be because we seems to have alternatives. When we are ready for the change we wiil Make the change
ReplyDeletenigeria,s pdp and apc are never the same.apc is far better than pdp.wach state that apc and orther paties like apga are rulling,their better than where pdp is rulling.am frm delta state uduaghan is the wost gov,if can nt stand by his word coruptin hv finish his admisration.paty depend of priciples.pdp dont hv good principle since obj let set. Efcc is no funtioning cpc woking,infact pdp is dead.
ReplyDeleteNow is clearer why Fela remains the legend,he foresaw all this things happening. "We fear to fight for freedom", the same old people all the time, how can Nigeria change for good if not bribery and corruption?.
ReplyDeleteYou said pdp is not good and apc now is even worst who is going to do it.it is high time we believe that we are all bad.we are talking of the politicians, what about the civil servants that hv ruin Nigeria. Let us go to the private sectors , their workers have ruin them.they said charity begins from home.it is better we say the truth and change from our evil way.what we need now is love among us , we need to love and respect ourselves. I pray we will change from our evil way.
ReplyDeleteif we think APC is better dan PDP den we still believing dat dis parties have something to offer.lets look at d key people in APC den we will realise dat corruption has come to stay. D only way dat things will change in dis country is if we get rid of dis old corrupt politicians n encourage younger n fresher brains. Am waiting to see APC's candidate for president, if am not satisfied with their choice den i will still vote for Jonathan. We need prayers and action in Nigeria n untill we act d country will continue going round in circles. If we like d country we see now den lets fold our arms if not imagine how it will b in d next generations. As for Obj i wish him a peaceful death cos after all he has done he is still doing.
ReplyDeleteU Guys are just deceiving urself... Why can't we "Youth think twice and deeply", the same set of people that have been governing for over 40years are now back together for Real, what do you now think will come out of this..? Same Old story, Nigeria Youths are fools.. No one want to face d reality.. We are afraid of Revolution, then Old ones refused to leave Power for we younger ones.. We are doomed..War is Looming.. Iyabo Obasanjo have said it all instead for we Youth to take the case Up and back Iyabo so as to better Niaja, we started saying Rubbish and even causing Iyabo for Opening our eyes to Reality" just wait... We never see anything.....Yeye people like us
