Pdp Alleges Anti-yar’adua Meeting With Obama In Ghana by sbo(m): 10:06am On May 29, 2009
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday accused the United States government and its embassy in Nigeria of conspiracy and plotting with opposition groups to destabilise the country.
Specifically, the party said that part of the plot is for the US Embassy to organise a meeting between the pro-democracy groups in Nigeria and President Barack Obama in Ghana, where the groups would seek to persuade the US President that the administration of President Umaru Yar’Adua is “illegitimate”.
President Obama is expected in Ghana on July 11.
The statement also said the masterminds of the “conspiracy and plot” include a “failed” presidential candidate, two former Speakers, a former Senate President and “a sprinkling of political hangers-on”.
In a statement signed by the Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Dr. Bello Harilu Mohammed, the party said: “Incontrovertible information available to us also revealed that after their meeting in Kaduna, they approached the American Embassy to facilitate their plans to meet with President Obama in Ghana but they were advised to include civil society organisations in their proposed diabolical delegation as a way of portraying themselves as credible elder statesmen.”
PDP also said the aim of the visit to see Obama is to disrupt the existing trade relations between the United States and Nigeria, thereby worsening the already precarious state of the economy in the face of dwindling oil revenue and the global financial meltdown.
PDP urged the US “not to, by any acts of omission or commission, promote the evil plans of these unpatriotic politicians against a democratically elected government as such would raise questions about its respect for the sovereignty of other countries and the international doctrine of non-interference in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations.”
The party said President Obama knows that due process and the rule of law are cardinal tenets of democracy and acceptable political behaviour anywhere in the world.
“President Obama is a product of an electoral process that evolved over time just as our President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has kick-started enduring electoral reforms in Nigeria, a process which his Administration is fully committed to fulfil (fulifilling) in the shortest possible time. The advent of the Obama era is therefore a necessary tonic to our on-going electoral reforms and the development of strong democracies in Nigeria, Africa and other developing countries,” PDP said.
The party also said the attempt by Nigeria’s political leaders to cause “incalculable damage” to the Nigerian economy and its peace-loving people at this critical time is “a disservice” to a country from which most of them who have held one political office or another in the immediate past and have immensely benefited.
“It is indeed shameful that these dishonourable politicians did not realise that the advice given to them by the American Embassy to include civil society organisations in their team was actually exposing their irrelevance to the political process as such views are only worthy of consideration if expressed through a respectable forum as a civil society organisation,” the statement stated.
PDP described as disturbing that “the American Embassy in Nigeria has chosen to lend itself to such a high-level political conspiracy against the Government and people of Nigeria while at the same time enjoying the hospitality of its host.
“This, to us, is hair-raising and we urge the relevant authorities in the United States to commence investigations although we are mindful that the Embassy may have been misguided by the calibre of the people involved in this plot. But we hasten to note that we do not expect the Embassy to be involved willy-nilly in such an organised conspiracy against the political and economic well-being of the Nigerian nation.”
PDP also appealed to organisers of the meeting with President Obama to shun acts capable of undermining the nation’s democracy which could endanger the collective destiny of Nigerians.
According to the statement, “this time in our history calls for total dedication to the growth and development of our nation. All divisive tendencies should be discouraged. Promoters of chaos and violence should be taken from our midst and handed over to security agencies. This is the only way to go.”
PDP called on security agencies in the country to wade in immediately and commence necessary investigation into the matter and several others “which we have exposed in the past”.

I'm now convinced that PDP is a party of jobless idiots. They have now resulted to blackmail.

So Obama is so jobless that it is Yar'Adua that he will be thinking about 24/7.

Anyway, is it not Obama prerogative to meet whoever he wishes. So as Nigerians,  we need to seek permission from Pres. Yar'Adua before we can talk to Pres. Obama.

What a whole load of nonsense!

ANIMALS  are always animal.

If the idiots of the poverty development party has tendered their own garden very well, OBAMA will be visiting Nigeria instead of GHANA.

The PDP and YAR A'STAND FOR NOTHING  are yet to get it into their
non functioning skull that US govt visit to GHANA ( a smaller country) is a big message to Nigerian govt to say that 'they are a rogue' regime.

PDP and YAR A'CLUELESS are used to bullying and blackmailing people to carry out their wishes, they did it to Madam Adebayo , the Ekiti state REC through Madam Nafdac and IGP.

They are running a dubious govt via OBJ, IBORI and AOODAONKA, and they are able to open their mouth and talk utter rubbish.  

Just to help them understand how democracy work, every government of the civilised world meet with opposition because they expect that the oppossition might be and will be in govt one day and they will need to deal with them.

Infact, it is even more likely when elections are around the corner, and popular sentiments are against the incumbent govt.

ANYWAY, they better be careful, otherwise even YAR A'DULL may not be able to go abroad for medical treatment anymore  for fear of' NADECO' like his former 'uncle' ABACHA, and we all know how that ended.

The PDP and cohorts are LUNATICS that needed psychatric treatments.

What else do u expect from these bunch of Idiots? We are now a laughing stock among the commity of nations. Imagine my friends from Ghana and Sierra Leone laughing at Nigeria and me. Its a shame. But the biggest problem is not them(PDP) but us, we have refused to help ourselves. We as ordinary Nigerians have refused to stand up for what we want, many people here who have made comments on this issue will gladly jump at any juicy offer from these morally bankrupt people. Yet we all complain. Lets be vigilant and make sure we are not used for their nefarious activities again especially 2011 elections. God help us!

Indeed . It is amazing how it is not obvious to Yar Adua and his sycophantic minions that their utterances and actions of intolerance and disdain towards opposition politicians only serve to damn the Yar Adua government as a despotic one while strengthening the opposition and attracting to it popularity, legitimacy and support from those who are opposed to the retrogressive government of Yar Adua - perhaps including Obama!!!!

With the nervy and bellicose rantings we are witnessing from the FG's stalwarts against dissenting voices , to include some undisputed Nigerian giants , Yar Adua and the PDP are showing naked frustration and fear over the imminent loss of their stolen mandates. They know their time is numbered. This is why they rigged Ekiti shamelessly when Yar Adua knew he more or less only had that one chance to convince skeptical world leaders of his democratic sincerity.

History has shown that doomed leaders and systems become/behave more erratic and inane as the end draws near.

[b][/b]I laughed myself out of my computer chair.
I never imagined the most useless party and most useless president in the history of my country feeling so much heat and threat simply because Obama wont acknowledge their legitimacy and relevancy. Why would a monkey climb a fruitless tree? We can't even utilize the only thing we have which is oil properly. We can't refine it, let alone use its base materials, or its paraffin or make any use its petrol chemicals.
Of course, we all know Yaradua is not even a MAN, let alone worthy of ruling a nation. Its a shame we are still we are since all this time.
I would be in Ghana 2 days before Obama's visit. You can call me unpatriotic for all y'all love.
The PDP and its candidates has wasted 10 years on Nigerians lives taking us backward. They wasted a golden opportunity to bring probably one of the greatest president in the history of the United States down here. They wont restrain Nigerians who wish to see this Icon of Change.

You tell one lie and you end up telling ten more to cover the initial lie. It is in the same way that a leader who is illegitimate or undeserving of his position spends all his time conjuring up "enemies", "plots", "cabals", etc  to mask gross ineptitude, unpreparedness and stupendous unsuitability for the Job at hand.

Nigerians , unless those who are part of the 'in-crowd' , are  fed up of Yar Adua and the PDP. They are long on distractive talks of "sabotage" and "treasonable actions from enemies of Nigeria" yet they are shamefully bereft of ideas to move Nigeria forward.

the price of oil is $60 per barrel, if there is peace. we can produce 2,500,000 barrel



While the north and igbos would have 1,750,000 barrel a day.

If we find out how much we make with the 70% per year. the calculation is.


60 x 1,750,000 x 365 days = 38,325,000,000 == $ 38 billion a year.



let the north and igbos have the 70% of the oil.




Now to find how much would nigeria without would be making from both oil and non oil . non oil should be about 11 billion ,

so 38 + 11 bilion is $49 billion

so the north if this bill goes thru would control $49 billion. This is why the northern senate and house of member need to approve the bill.


Take your $49 billion and leave us alone.
you people are making $49 billion and you do not want to leave us alone.
This bill have to pass.

the north if this bill goes thru would control $49 billion.

If you do not believe here is the official federal ministry of finance website, do the calculation of oil derivation yourself.
http://www.fmf.gov.ng/FMF_Revenue_Alloc.aspx








Ikeyman, i would assume you do not know maths, let me show you thru maths what happen and to those northerners who do not know maths,


If this bill pass in the houses of the senate and national assembly.

What would remain in Nigeria in term of land space is 712830 sq km. And the remain part of south still of nigeria , its land space would be 67409 sq km, which is less in land space than Borno state of 70,898 sq km or Niger state of 76,363 sq km.

To now do the calculation what percentage of the north that make us the now New 70% oil rich Nigeria


67409/ 712830 X 100% = 90.54% of the land space is Northern Nigeria.


90.54% of the 712830 sq km remain in the New Nigeria would be the north with 70% of the oil of Nigeria and access to the sea. .

Re: Pdp Alleges Anti-yar’adua Meeting With Obama In Ghana by CyberG: 4:28pm On May 29, 2009
Let Yaradua face the fact: he wished to meet with Obama in America and would have been super glad if Obama had come to Nigeria. Well, Obama chooses not to mingle with low-lifers and goes to Ghana, yet Yar'dull cannot sleep. Perhaps he can arrange to go and meet Obama in Ghana by force? Then, he can also go with the JTF and Okiro Police and ensure that no other Nigerian meets Obama except him! It is not difficult to know if a man, even a president is brainless!

Did anyone remember Yar'adua saying at his last interview that no president has called him to say they are scared stiff to come to Nigeria? That is a most stupid and brainless statement to make by Yaradua if he expects any president to call him before avoiding Nigeria and snubbing him. You can't blame the stupid man because he has never seen a travel advisory on any website before! He thinks every president is joking around pretending to be running a country (and still claiming to have provided 5000MW only if there was gas to power it) when it is clear, even to a toddler, that he is doing NOTHING?

Let Yaradua face the fact: he wished to meet with Obama in America and would have been super glad if Obama had come to Nigeria. Well, Obama chooses not to mingle with low-lifers and goes to Ghana, yet Yar'dull cannot sleep. Perhaps he can arrange to go and meet Obama in Ghana by force? Then, he can also go with the JTF and Okiro Police and ensure that no other Nigerian meets Obama except him! It is not difficult to know if a man, even a president is brainless!

Did anyone remember Yar'adua saying at his last interview that no president has called him to say they are scared stiff to come to Nigeria? That is a most stupid and brainless statement to make by Yaradua if he expects any president to call him before avoiding Nigeria and snubbing him.

The PDP is being haunted by the sins they've committed against Nigerians.
How else do we explain their rubbish sattements.
