A very well structured and presented report. Well done Chidi. The occasion left a lasting impression on me and was further proof that small seeds of change planted can grow into a tree of hope and collective prosperity for Nigeria and Nigerians worldwide.

A big thankyou to all who graced this wonderful occasion. It was definitely the highlight of an otherwise gloomy year

Nice Write up....and one cannot but give a Big Up to RNC for Hosting all the Hostables+ including all those who aligned with them...this is wonderful and pleasing to some of us

....every effort made by respect nigerians coalition and any other group to put an end to all the jibiti wuru wuru by our Govt and Foreign bodies goes a long way...and of cause what it boils down to is that there's yet hope .......Let all the Bobos and Geges take a Bow...and all the Tafias, clear road make i see better Ozone Layer Depletion...Hic, hiccups

PS>>>>>.....Are u a Nigerian? Or Nigerian at Heart? Get up and do something...Keep Moving..No Loitering

RNC, you guys are too much o! It is becoming obvious that this seed is gradually becoming a tree. The Iroko, a shelter and a rallying point for all Nigerians, home and abroad. Kudos to all the members.

Ribadu this, Ribadu that, I slept with Ribadu, I ate with Ribadu, uuuhhmm all bullshit. Is this not the same Ribadu that help that "Egba Baboon" to bring "Go Slow" to power from Rufai's confession, honestly all this crooks are just opportunist playing politics with the lives of the poor nigerian masses or somebody can prove me wrong by naming 5 nigerian politician that Ribadu was able to secure conviction against for all his years of noise making, left to me Ribadu should be cooling off in the same cell with Al mustapha because both of them did good job for their bosses, chikena.

Nice story and pictures, Chidi. That was a memorable evening and I have a strong believe the change we have been waiting for may finally be here. Thanks to all RNC members and thanks to Princess Awotesu. You guys rock!!

It was indeed an honour to meet some villagers for the first time.
Our royal lady from Canada who graced us with her royal presence

The MAN himself, BigK, wow, you got presence o!! I bow oga mi!

NVS members from Europe, thank you so much!!! I have it on good authority you all had a blast

I notice Chidi did not mention one thing Falana said that evening. Mr. Falana informed the gathering that the Nigerian Bar Association is considering taking punitive measures against lawyers who engage in unprofessional conduct with regards to election petition tribunals. I applaud this move by the NBA, however in my opinion, the NBA need to do two things; firstly strenghten their pro-bono section in order to pick up cases of politicians who are not very rich and have no political godfathers to help offset the huge legal bills arising from taking cases to tribunal. Secondly they need to strenghten their own disciplinary procedures. If they are able to do this, then I think their plan to sanction erring lawyers will be of better effect if not, it maybe an issue of all bark and no bite.

The evening for me was energising, I listened and mingled with patriots, most had one thing in mind, rescuing Nigeria! I believe we can do it, we can reclaim Nigeria from the hands of the current bandits holding the country hostage.
I join Nuhu in saying.... YES, WE MUST!

Now,how can you call this gathering a success,when yours truly was not invited. You missed my wit and erudition.Please organise another one soon,soon to give all villagers a chance to attend and contribute.
I bet Uche and Auspicious were invited!!

That is if we can depose the sokoto(northern) caliphates with all their federal character nonsense. I doubt if a meeting in London can bring the much needed change. The fraud called Nigeria must be broken into manageable chunks.
Oodua Republic
Biafra
Niger Delta
and others

To hell with the failed state called Nigeria!

Fantasy President and Cabinet..

Nuhu Ribadu for President ( Something Obama about him)

Okey Ndibe for Vice President ( Respect to a man that fought Uba to a standstill)

Femi Falana for Justice & Human Right Minister ( A legend In our time)

Omoyele Sowore for Chairman of EFCC ( Fearless and Waziri’s nightmare)

Philip Adekunle for Information Minister and Rebranding Nigeria Commission ( the man has vision)

Ayodeji Omotade for Minister of State on Aviation and Human trafficking. ( A true Patriot In the American mood)

Princess Awotesu for Foreign Affairs Minister ( The hardest working Royalty)

Chidi Okorie for Chief of Staff to the President. ( Comes across like someone that can get the job done without much fanfare)

Wale Akin for INEC Chairman ( Very honest advocate except when It Involves Daddy G.O).

To be continued…………….

Zanderlex · Jun 6, 2009 , 12:35 AM

Good reporting, Nice pictures, interesting gathering, honest and funny comments, I smell a restored Nigeria powered from events like this.............YES WE CAN.

Kudos to the RNC. That was a swell evening. Although i was not entirely sold on Ribadu's attempt to rebrand himself as the new voice of moral conciousness, i still give him a C for atleast trying to reaffirm our believe that all is not lost. He got burnt by OBJ and that is understandable from a Nigerian point of view, but he did aknowledge that fact which to me is a major step foward towards the change we all seek. Kenn, you did your thing and you were cool. Princess, the only confirmed Princess in the house, you were too fab for words. Awon boys, Walatta, uncle T, Ayo and our irrepressible banchelor in the house 0077 ya'll were great. Her royal Igeleness, the countess herself was looking regal not to forget the host BB and the house dokitor and all the other activists/militants/political turncoats all of una Ndoooooooo. Oga big K, like the zulu's will greet, I see you.
