Product description
PLEASE READ THIS! MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!Okay, maybe that was a bit melodramatic, but I'm sorry, I'm feeling a bit melodramatic at the moment. Here's the deal. My name is Brooklyn Pierce, I'm fifteen years old, and I am decisionally challenged. Seriously, I can't remember the last "good "decision I made. I can remember "plenty "of crappy ones though. Including that party I threw when my parents were out of town that "accidentally "burned down a model home. Yeah, not my finest moment, for sure. But see, that's why I started a blog. To enlist readers to make my decisions for me. That's right. I gave up. Threw in the towel. I let someone else decide which book I read for English. And whether or not I accepted an invitation to join the debate team from that cute-in-a-dorky-sort-of-way guy who gave me the Heimlich maneuver in the cafeteria. (Note to self: "chew" the melon before swallowing it.) I even let them decide who I dated! Well, it turns out there are some things in life you simply can't choose or have chosen for you--like who you fall in love with. And now everything's more screwed up than ever. But don't take my word for it. Read the book and decide for yourself. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll scream in frustration. Or maybe that's just me. After all, it's "my" life.

Author information
Jessica Brody knew from a young age that she wanted to be a writer. She started "self-publishing" her own books when she was seven years old, binding the pages together with cardboard, wallpaper samples and electrical tape. Brody graduated from Smith College in 2001 with a double major in Economics and French and a minor in Japanese. She went to work for MGM Studios as a Manager of Acquisitions and Business Development, and then, in 2005, she quit her job to follow her dream of becoming a published author. Brody is the author of the young adult novel "The Karma Club" and two novels for adults--"The Fidelity Files" and "Love Under Cover." Jessica's books are published in over ten foreign countries including the U.K., France, Germany, Czech Republic, Russia, Brazil, China, Portugal, and Taiwan. She now works full time as a writer and producer, and currently splits her time between Los Angeles and Colorado.
Customer reviews
By Brandi Kosiner (Brandi Breathes Books) 11 Nov 2011
Once I read the description, I knew that I had to read this, and My Life Undecided did not disappoint. It is such a neat and original premise, and Ms. Brody executes it amazingly.
It actually started out with a much more serious problem than I anticipated, but the main character, Brooks had a voice that kept me entertained, and managed to keep it lighthearted.
The characters were great, and it was fun to watch Brooks learn from her blog readers' input and how she grew into making her own decisions. Her best friend turned frenemy was well written and she really fit into her role. Her crushes, Brian and Hunter were completely different and desirable in their own ways. Another secondary character, Ms. Moody was great. I love how elderly have been featured in a few YA books recently, they have so much to offer, and I love old people.
It was fun to watch everything play out, try to figure out what the readers would pick for her, and how she reacts to her new experiences and choices she otherwise wouldn't have made.
This is a spectacular contemporary, with lots of laughs and some tender serious moments sprinkled in.
By TeensReadToo 07 Aug 2011
Trouble follows Brooklyn. It might have something to do with the horrible decisions she makes. After her arrest, her parents pick her up from jail and she has plenty of time to start thinking of how to make her life better. Because she's grounded for eternity.
To make matters worse, her BFF pretends the last five years didn't exist. Brooklyn, once a girl in the spotlight, becomes a wallflower.
She starts a blog where her readers will make her decisions for her. Should she try out for the rugby team? Should she join the debate club? Should she continue to eat lunch in the library or try the cafeteria? She refuses to make a decision before polling her blog readers.
But can she live with the choices her readers make?
MY LIFE UNDECIDED is a super-cute read. Brooklyn constantly makes the wrong decisions, but it ultimately leads her to discovering her true self. I loved the blend of technology with modern day. A fun book!
Review quote
"Brooklyn is a sympathetic protagonist with whom teens will identify. Her journey is fun to read, and decision-challenged readers will learn an important lesson about self-acceptance along the way." -"School Library Journal "Praise for "THE KARMA CLUB ""Equal parts fresh, funny, and engaging, "The Karma Club" is the story of one girl's attempt to speed Karma along only to discover that Karma plays by its own rules.

To say that we haven't heard from NYC rapper MIMS in a minute would be a hefty understatement as the Washington Heights native has been absent from our pages since… drum roll… July 2010. So yeah, that "minute" isn't quite cutting it. Fret not though because MIMS has prepared to make his comeback with new single I'm On My Bullsh*t. Rather than comment on his lofty absence from the game, however, the rapper instead keeps the record lighthearted and heavy on the wordplay. Producer CT handles the production on Bullsh*t, adding an interesting array of percussion and, unless my ears are fooling me, some elephant noises. For those looking for new tunes from the uptown emcee, and aren't afraid to numb their feelings, MIMS' F**k Yo Feelings mixtape is expected to drop sometime in the near future.

Chevrolet Lumina
seattlenative Posts: 9I have discovered the Lumina and found it is an appealing design. What are some buying tips to look for in buying a 2000-2001 used Lumina - i.e. what are the things I need to look out for?
Overall, what's your experiences with this car's reliability and long-term driving durability? -
yurakm Posts: 1,3452000 Lumina, if I remember right, also was available for fleets only. 2000 Impala for general public.
However, there is a substantial difference between rental and fleet. I believe that the majority of fleet cars had only one driver. Probably a salesman or repairman, who put a lot of highway miles, and cared. The car was his tool of trade, after all.
If it have 50k miles or more, probably it was a fleet car. Less than 30k - probably rental.
Any case, used cars in general, the rental especially, require extended warranty. Aftermarket waranties are less expensive.
How dependable must be the car? This is very personal.
For example, I am a computer programmer in academia. Complicated programs, developed for months and years, not days. I often came late to work: there is less distractions when working late in evenings. Can even skip a day, and nobody would notice. Drive only 7 miles to work. There is a bus line in 2 miles: in the worst case I can walk and take a bus.
My friend, also a computer programmer, works in industry. His programs are somewhat smaller and definitely simplier, but he always changes something, on short notice. Communicates a lot with his users, and must be always available during business hours. Commutes 40 miles one direction.
So the reliability of my car does not matter much. Reliability of his car is paramount. -
pluto5 Posts: 618No difference between a rental and a fleet; a distinction without a difference, IMO. Example, our high school got a new Lumina for drivers ed recently--they say it's an 02 but it's most likely an 01. As part of the drivers ed fleet it will be driven/abused by hundreds of new drivers and will most likely get minimal/factory maintenance. I've looked at numerous used cars but always end up buying new cause drivers who know that they will only have their cars for a few years have no incentive to take good care of them. In the case of fleet and rental cars, the driver(s) are not even the owners so they could give a FF.
mlfranz Posts: 7
yurakm Posts: 1,345I remember well my driving lessons.
Stomped on gas, because did not know yet to do it right. Panic braking. Stop and go. A lot of shifting - when learning parking and 3-point turns...
Yes, it was ultra slow, with almost zero driving on highway. However, the exercises must eat the car fast, especially transmission. -
yurakm Posts: 1,345Reliability, economy, safety, durability, comfort, size, and many other parameters. Including enjoyment of driving.
Not paramount, of course, but valuable.
Additionally, there is transportation and transportation. Compare a salesman who makes 60k miles per year - and an old lady, why drives two times a week a couple miles to a local supermarket. -
jpstax Posts: 250I think I posted the following link in this forum before, but here goes:
I can't understand why GM of Arabia can't import this great car for sale in the USA. After all, when Chevy kills off the Camaro later this year, what high performance car will they have left to sell? Only a chosen few can afford a Corvette. -
caesarslegion Posts: 109
unclearnie Posts: 1I recently purchased a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina LS with the optional 3.4 liter engine. It was previously owned by a retired couple living down the block from my retired in-laws. It has less than 43,000 miles and looks showroom fresh. It's fine in town, but is an absolute dog on the freeways. Is this typical of this vehicle/engine combination or has slow driving turned this into a dog? What can I do to give it some pep?
lizleigh Posts: 1Last fall I purchased a white 1997 Lumina.
The first time I washed it, the paint started to peel off of the rear drivers side door panel. The paint appears to peel all the way down to the metal. I can tell where the previous owner tried to touch up a spot, but the spot seems to be getting bigger.
Since then, I have noticed several white Luminas driving around with the same body style also peeling paint in much the same manner.
Does anyone know what is up with this, or if there are any recalls or deals to get the cars repainted?
Also, since purchasing this car it seems like I get pretty poor gas mileage compared to my previous v6- a dodge intrepid. What is the typical gas mileage for these cars??
Thanks. -
dshepherd3 Posts: 194I have the same year/ model since new, now has 150k gets 25 avg and 29 on a trip, a little less than new. Piston slap has been the biggest headache. Take a piece of masking tape and see if the paint lift off using this, if so have a body shop check it out, sounds like the door was redone, I can't see the paint delaminating on one panel only.
nafrong00 Posts: 7I also have a 1995 Lumina with the 3.4 DOHC engine. I have 152,000 miles on it and I can say with confidence the the car is NOT a dog on the highway. Infact I feel that this particular engine with it's 7000 rpm redline is particularly good for highway passing and driving. Not sure what the problem might be with the one you bought. Maybe try a fuel system/ injector cleaner like Chevron Techron or something. I've used one about every 20,000 miles and it does seem to make a difference. I recently replaced the car as my daily driver but still drive it every couple of days. It is definitly quicker than the V-6 in the new car I bought.
On a side note...I too have seen several luminas with the delaminating paint issue. Oddly, ALL of them seem to have been white. Must be something about that paint...
And to the guy with the low coolant light flashing, just a thought, but check your engine oil and dip stick for sticky residue. I had an olds cutlass that would flash it's low coolant light every time it blew a headgasket, which was often. The light came on even if the coolant levels appeared fine. Coolant mixes with oil creating a sticky mess if the leak is bad enough. -
dshepherd3 Posts: 194Great car all around, but be very cautious with these fleet cars, there are notoriously poorly maintained, check inside the oil filler cap you can see into the valve train, see if there is even slight amount of oil gelling or sliminess, pass on any one you are uncomfortable about, there are plenty around, of course insist on staring them up cold to check for piston slap.
luminated Posts: 2I am the proud owner of a '99 Lumina LTZ...
Quite simply the best North American auto I've owned!
I'm pushing 110K miles,nearly have it paid off and am itching for an Impala.
The 3.8 is a killer power plant and the car hasn't given any disappointment mechanically except for an alternator that failed after hitting a nasty Baltimore pot hole.
Nearly perfect, the car has endured a hit and run sideswipe and a rear ender on I-70...
Here's my dilemma: I know the car WILL last at least 200 K without much problem...do I run her til she dies or do I trade her in for the Impala?
Decisions, Decisions ;-)
We also own a 95 LeSabre with 130K we use for family vacations.Another fine vehicle... -
caesarslegion Posts: 109
emmanuelchoke Posts: 97Anybody have problems with the plastic upper intake manifold in Luminas with the 3.8 liter engine. It can deteriorate and allow coolant into the engine causing damage upon startup due to hydrolock. My 98 LTZ has 50,000 miles and no problems so far. The Bonneville maintenance and repair site is loaded with horror stories about this. It too uses the 3.8 with plastic manifold. Repairs run from 300 to 1500 depending on the state of the engine when the problem is noticed.
emmanuelchoke Posts: 97TSB# 01-06-01-007A covers this. The EGR gas is ported into the manifold through a metal pipe. The exhaust gas heat causes the plastic to degrade where the hot metal meets the plastic. There is a coolant passage just a few millimeters away from the EGR port and if the manifold loses its integrity, it allows coolant in the lower intake manifold. If you shut the engine off, the residual pressure in the cooling system can force coolant into the engine block, which causes the potential for damage upon startup. The Lumina with the 3.8 liter was one of the cars listed along with the Bonneville, Regal, Olds 88 and 98's, Riviera and Park Avenue, all with the 3.8 liter engine. The Bonneville seems to be the hardest hit. Re reading the old posts on this site, I haven't seen it mentioned. This guy talks about it. www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/automan_plastic.html
smahmood Posts: 1Hey guys, thought I'd put this up here to see if anyone else had this problem and maybe has a fix.
Basically I have a 95 Lumina with 75k miles on it. Basically around speeds of 60-70 mph it seems as if the engine is skipping or something. I thought maybe it needed a tuneup, and I changed the spark plugs and wires but to no avail. It drives fine aside for this, but at around 60-70 you feel a very wierd vibration. Also this is something very recent because about a week ago, I went on a 800 mile drive on this car with no problems.
Also recently (before my 800 mile drive) I had to get my timing belt and intake gaskets replaced by the dealer and ever since the engine has become really Loud. Sounds like your driving a truck or something. Any ideas what could cause that?
Aside for my recent probs though this car is great (Definaly far from being a "dog"). I've had some problems with the paint on the hood (wierd little places where its chiped off), but its been driving great.
Anyway if anyone has had these probs, or knows what might be causing them, let me know. Also, I found another person with this problem at the following url: http://forums.vmag.com/pm-0601/messages/3039.html . This guy thinks its the transmission, which I find really hard to believe.
I'd appreciate any ideas
-Mahmood -
luminated Posts: 2Thanks for the opinion,caesarlegion.
The last payment went tonite. I do use her for work, driving 30 -40 k annually.
I just read about the '04 Imp Super Sport and am stoked for that machine! Think I'll wait...
I would by a new car, but the wife loves that LeSabre and doesn't really appreciate the 'sport tuned suspension' of the LTZ. I swear by it, especially within urban terrain my work takes me. I also thought about having a GM dealer where my dad is employed search for a 9C3 used by GM personnel...a long shot for a 'program' vehicle. -
kw_carman Posts: 114My mom had a black 1995 Lumina for a company car, and when she changed jobs recently, she got to turn it in. I pity the older man that the company is letting use the car since he took over her job.
First off, the A/C spewed some awful sort of MOLD. On a hot day, you could almost loose your lunch if you didn't roll down the windows, turn it on high, and get out of the car. We took it to the dealer to have some "tray" washed out three times, and $80 later it still stank.
Also, the driver's side power door lock just quit. One day it was there, another it was gone. $62 dollars later (just to find out what was wrong), we decided replacing the actuator just wasn't worth it. The company? They could have cared less. Before we got rid of the car with the fading black paint, the passenger side lock would only lock, and not unlock, forcing my small 5'3" mother to stretch across the bench seat just to unlock the door.
And I thought her 1990 Lumina was bad.

*Libya: NATO Bombs Gaddafi's Compound, Tripoli TV Offices
By Aljazeera Africa
NATO launched missile strikes overnight against targets in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, with blasts heard near Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's compound, according to witnesses. They said jets carried out eight strikes in roughly three hours in an unusually heavy bombardment of Tripoli, with four explosions rocking the Libyan capital shortly after 2am [0000 GMT] on Tuesday. They were quickly followed by two more blasts. A resident told Al Jazeera that an intelligence agency was also targeted by the strikes. Late on Monday, witnesses reported two explosions in the capital as jets flew overhead, adding that smoke was rising from ......Read More

*Nigeria: How Jonathan Brokered Deal Between Ohakim, Araraume
By Gbenga Ogunbufunmi
The intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan was the magic that saw Governor Ikedi Ohakim regaining his confidence once more and hoping that the supplementary election ordered by the Independent National electoral Commission (INEC) may go in his favour. Ohakim almost lost to Rochas Okorocha, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate for Imo State during the April 26 Governorship poll. The election was declared inconclusive in the state with INEC calling for a supplementary poll in some areas which held on Friday. The apprehension created by the few results that were released after the April 26 poll was interpreted by many to mean that ......Read More

Imo State capital virtually stood still as loyalists of All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, stromed the streets of the municipality to jubiliate over the declaration of their principal, Chief Rochas Anayo Okorocha, as the winner of the governorship election in the state. Motorcyclists, who were hitherto banned from plying the streets of the municipality defied the order and displayed all manner of acrobatics in the process, while emergency dancing troops emerged and danced to their rhythmic tunes. Traders in especially the New Market, Owerri, hired several commercial buses and headed for Ogboko, Ideato North local council area country home of Chief Okorocha. Many drinking places in the municipality were filled to ......Read More

*Nigeria: Fraud, Fights Mar Imo State Re-Run Election
By Anamesere Igboeroteonwu
Fist fights and fraud marred Nigeria's final state governorship election Friday, a re-run of a vote which was declared inconclusive last month because of widespread irregularities.Africa's most populous nation held presidential, parliament and state elections in April but the governorship race in Imo state, on the edge of the oil-producing Niger Delta, had to be held again in some areas after no winner could be declared. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ordered a fresh vote in four local government areas (LGAs) after ballot boxes were stolen and fake voting materials used. But Friday's re-run appeared to face similar ......Read More

*Nigerian Born U.S. Boxing Champ Lends His Voice On Bin Laden's Killing
By Masterweb News Desk
The current USA Wisconsin State Heavy Weight Boxing champion, the Nigerian Born Mr Enobong Umohette a.k.a The Nigerian Gentleman (TNG) in an interview with Masterweb, reacted to the killing of Osama Bin Laden commending the U.S. and its counter terrorism allies, while condemning the violence in certain parts of Nigeria.
Hear him:
"It is a day of joy, to join the millions of Americans and lovers of peace around the world to celebrate the killing of the mastermind of the September 2001 attacks on the USA. On that fateful day, thousands of Americans, innocent citizens; citizens of the world met their unfortunate and untimely death through the mindless slaughter that was orchestrated by Osama Bin Laden.
"Indeed the world was united in grief and rose to the challenge of serving justice to the fugitive Osama Bin Laden who has caused the brutal killing of thousands of innocent people irrespective of race and religion while eluding capture for a decade.
"Osama Bin Laden was not a religious leader, but a selfish mass murderer, who incited violence and killings for the warped purpose of instilling fear and undermining, global peace, democracy and fundamental freedom; the real definition of terrorism.
"As a former security and intelligence agent, the pain staking collaboration of both the United States and its allies who partnered and carefully worked through the thousands of reports and leads which culminated in locating the fugitive denotes nothing but professionalism, courage and service to humanity. ( Continues below….. )

"May the souls of those departed in the fateful 9-11 attack, those who have risked their lives in pursuit of global peace and security and victims of all terrorist attacks all over the world rest in peace.
"No true religion preaches violence or murder and any proponent of such, irrespective of man-made doctrinal rationalization must not be seen as anything different from Osama Bin Laden and terrorism personified.
"To the women who were widowed, men who lost wives, children who became orphaned and many who lost loved ones in that particular attack, in the words of President Barack Obama; "justice has been served". While the threats to democracy, peace and global security still exists and has mutated in many forms, spreading and fanning the embers of hate, violence and terrorism in the gullible minds of many, Osama Bin Laden's killing is an important milestone in reminding mass murderers all over the world, that retributive justice will hunt and eventually catch them for their crimes.
"On the Nigerian front, I stand in unity with visionary like the people's servant Charles Okereke and many who have condemned the mindless carnage that besieged certain parts of Nigeria in the course of the recent electoral process.
"Having personally lost dear and loved ones to violence, I must note with sadness that several Sovereign states in our world of today are guilty of turning the agencies, agents and weapons of state coercion and protection on their own citizens for the sinister reason of retaining power, silencing opposition and persecuting dissent voices.
"Resources and might that should have been deployed to protect its citizens, have been turned on them to stifle their inalienable rights to freedom of speech, choice and existence. 'State Terrorism' perpetrated in different levels and magnitudes, with victims forgotten, prisoners of conscience hounded into the darkness of void and heroes unsung.
"Today I speak up once again not as a pugilist but as a voice backed by a deep yet humbled spirit of humanity in the crusade for global peace, respect for the fundamental rights of freedom, liberty and democracy.
"May the fight against tyranny and oppression continue to yield a much better and peaceful world for all mankind.

*Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan
By Al Jazeera & Agencies
US president Barack Obama said bin Laden, the most-wanted fugitive on the US list, had been killed on Sunday in a US operation in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad, about 61km north of Islamabad. "Tonight, I can report to the people of the United States and the world, the United States had carried an operation that has killed Osama bin Laden, a terrorist responsible for killing thousands of innocent people," Obama said in a statement. "Today, at my direction, the United States carried out that operation... they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body. "The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date against al-Qaeda. "We must also reaffirm that United states is not and will never be at war against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader, in fact, he slaughtered many Muslims," Obama said. Four people, including one of bin Laden's sons, were also killed in the operation. According to ......Read More

*Nigeria: Germany Donates Vehicles To NDLEA
By Nosa Osula-Aituamen
The German government has donated two Toyota Hiace buses to the Canine Unit of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA). The vehicles are to facilitate the easy movement of the agency's dogs to operational areas. The German Consul General, Mr. Walter Von Den Driesch while making the presentation at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Command's office in Lagos on Thursday March 17, 2011 noted that the donation was pertinent to enable the NDLEA maximise the use of the sniffer dogs.
"In 2009, BKA Germany organised a sniffer dog handling training course for 3 NDLEA officers which took place from 2nd November until 19th January in Dresden/Saxony, Germany. The twelve weeks course covered building of trust between animals and people as well as ability and capacity to handle sniffer dogs in complex police situations. After the successful completion of the training, the officers returned to Nigeria with 4 sniffer dogs (Belgian Shepherd dogs) with each dog valued at between 1,500 and 1,800 Euro. These vehicles are to enable the NDLEA convey the dogs to their operational areas" Walter stated. ( Continues below..... )

He also pledged to assist the NDLEA in capacity building to address the drug problem. Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade while receiving the vehicles thanked the German government for the kind gesture and promised to judiciously utilise the vehicles. "On behalf of the management of the Agency and indeed the Government of Nigeria, I sincerely appreciate this donation and kind gesture to the Agency. In line with our tradition of commitment and dedication, these operational vehicles will be utilized strictly for the purpose for which they were given. The effective use of these vehicles will make it difficult for the merchants of death to smuggle drugs into the country undetected as the canines can now be moved around our operational bases more conveniently" Giade stated.
The NDLEA boss called on governments, organisations and individuals to assist the Agency. In his words, "It is no longer debatable that the challenges of drug control are quite enormous and it becomes even more compounded when our counterparts and other donor organisations fail to come to our assistance at our critical moments. Globally, it is known and accepted that drug control is a shared responsibility as no country can go it alone. We would be doing great service to humanity if we join hands to counter the activities of the merchants of death". ( Continues below….. )

Giade also promised that the capacity of the dogs will be optimised now that they could easily be moved around. "The capacity of our Department to confront operational issues such as drug supply reduction through interdiction activities will be greatly enhanced if our partners come to our assistance in terms of equipment and capacity building. The difference in our airport operations became visible even to the greatest pessimists when the United States Government supported our efforts with the donation of modern scanning machines" the NDLEA boss stressed.
The dogs and the vehicles are not enough, because we hope to use them at other airports in the country as well as in other neighbouring countries of West Africa whenever the need arises. "On invitation, we have taken the dogs on assignment in other countries and we hope to expand such operations as the German Government has promised to foot the bill of joint training programmes in the region" Giade stated. The NDLEA officers carried out a field demonstration of how the dogs detect drugs and in turn rewarded by their handlers who give them toys and play with them.

*NPLF, Jonathan, North And The Rest of Nigeria
( Article submitted April 5, 2011 )
By Kali Gwegwe
It will be difficult to dispute the widely held opinion that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's emergence as Nigeria's president is a divine interjection. In less than one year as president, the Bayelsa State born president has given hope to the mostly disillusioned Nigerian masses. For the first time in the history of Nigeria, fuel is being sold at a uniform price all over the federation. Electricity generation and distribution has improved significantly.
By the time the sector is fully privatized, power outage will be a thing of the past. With a population of about 150m, Nigeria is unarguably the most populous Black Country on earth. This massive population presents an attractive climate for commerce and foreign investments that would have driven away unemployment and poverty. Unfortunately, poor infrastructural development has greatly hampered the country's socio-economic growth. This could be conveniently linked with the high level of corruption in government businesses and the deep culture of tribalism.
For most part of Nigeria's fifty years as an independent nation, successive governments have been run like secret societies. The level of secrecy in government businesses has made it almost impossible to effectively fight corruption and other social maladies plaguing the country. In most cases, it is members of the ruling "cartel"-not the constitution that decide the fate of the nation. Sensing that Goodluck Jonathan will not maintain the "old tradition", this powerful "cartel" that has been running the country all these decades immediately went into battle against him.
It started with a fierce attempt to prevent the then vice president Goodluck Jonathan from acting on behalf of his boss, even when it had become very inevitable. When it became obvious that they have lost out to the Senate's "Doctrine of Necessity", the "cartel" quickly resorted to high level blackmail, intimidation, and slander. After all of their plots had failed, the "cartel" went on to instigate tribal and religious sentiments against President Goodluck Jonathan. ( Continues below….. )
Photo Above: President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria (2010 - present)
It was at this sad point that the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF) led by Mallam Adamu Chiroma came into the fray. The NPLF took the issue of zoning in PDP to the level that it gave rise to deep suspicions among many stakeholders in the north that prefer "One Nigeria" to the "Two Nigerias" literally being championed by the minority apostles of zoning. This was the strongest reason why the NPLF's sole candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar failed woefully during the PDP presidential primaries.
Still refusing to accept the "One Nigeria" option, the NPLF went ahead to appeal to northerners to vote for only northern candidates even though Jonathan has the best of credentials among all the presidential aspirants. This is most regrettable. While not attempting to dismiss the zoning arrangement in PDP, the NPLF should not ignore the fertile fact that it is only God that gives power. The facts are clear enough for everyone to see that God has a hand in the emergence of Jonathan as president. It will therefore be proper that they accept what nature has arranged.
Perhaps, it will be necessary to note here that a greater percentage of northern political stakeholders do not even see the NPLF as a consensus body. They rather see it as an attempt to perpetuate the "old order", where just a few privileged northerners walk the corridors of power and line their pockets and those of their cronies. This is responsible for why despite the clear fact that northerners have dominated Nigeria's seat of power, the north is mostly underdeveloped. ( Continues below….. )
Photo Above: Map of Nigeria showing its 36 states and capital (Abuja or FCT)
The vast majority of northerners are living in abject poverty and abandonment. As part of efforts to address the problems of crass underdevelopment and poverty in the north, President Goodluck Jonathan has introduced a special educational programme to cater for the vast population of almajiris. As you read this piece, three new federal universities have been established in the north to address the educational challenges of the high number of youths seeking tertiary qualification.
The federal government has also made available funds to resuscitate the moribund textile industries mostly located in the northern part of the country. Same thing applies to the leather industry. Dredging of the River Niger is also a top priority of the Jonathan led administration. The aim is to promote economic and commercial activities in the north through the citing of a port in Lokoja.
Furthermore, President Jonathan has sent an executive bill to the National Assembly seeking to establish a Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPADEC) to cater for the needs of the host communities of Nigeria's hydro power plants just like the NDDC is doing for the oil producing communities in the Niger Delta region. Clearly, President Jonathan has done for the north what nine northern heads of government refused to do for their people. Jonathan is a positive story of hope for the poor, ignored, and downtrodden.
He represents the vision of our forefathers and that of future generations. President Goodluck Jonathan is a symbol of national unity. Even though, Nigeria's economy rest on oil and gas revenue from the Niger Delta region where he hails from, President Jonathan has never a day reminded Nigerians of this pregnant fact. This is because, he sees himself as a Nigerian- not an Ijaw man, not a Niger Deltan. This is the truth- so bitter that the Adamu Chiroma led NPLF has refused to accept. Unknown to many, one of NPLF's major grudge against Jonathan is the latter's choice of Architect Namadi Sambo as vice president. Right from the onset, Sambo has shown that he is not a fan of "Two Nigerias."
The NPLF would have preferred a northern vice president that will be in Aso Rock to pursue the interests of a few northern elites. The average northerner is now wise enough to read the hand writing on the wall and has decided to jettison the "old order" that had confined them to the dustbins of their few selfish elites in the corridors of power. This is a new Nigeria.

*Nigeria: Why Some Northern Political Leaders Fear Jonathan
( Article submitted April 5, 2011 )
By Kali Gwegwe
For the very first time in many decades, northern political leaders were told the home truth. This was made by no smaller a personality than the Sultan of Sokoto himself, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Saàd Abubakar. He was of the strong opinion that northern political leaders have failed the north; pointing out that the late premier of northern Nigeria, Sir Ahmadu Bello, "sacrificed his life for the North and Nigeria in the pursuit of the ideals which bind us together as a nation." He was therefore forced to ask his northern brother this direct question: "...what has happened to Sardauna's cherished legacy of unity in diversity and being your own brother's keeper?"
In the Sultan's opinion, hatred has taken over the place of love while violence has become very fashionable. The same sentiments have been raised by youths from the northern part of the country. Under the leadership of Mallam Ibrahim Waiya, the Northern Youth Assembly blamed political leaders from the north for being responsible for the sad tale of underdevelopment and widespread poverty in the region. Since assuming the presidency about nine months ago, President Goodluck Jonathan has made concerted efforts to reform the nation's social, political, and economic sectors.
Unfortunately, many individuals and organisations have hidden under different platforms to sabotage these noble efforts. The opposition of Jonathan's candidature even after the PDP primaries is one of the efforts aimed at salvaging the north from the claws of a few but powerful cliques that has for centuries thrived on the ignorance of the masses. One can clearly see the influence of Robert Greene and Joost Elffers' "48 Laws of Power" in the way and manner northern political leaders have related with the masses. ( Continues below….. )
Photo Above: President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria (2010 - present)
In the book, law 11 states that, "To maintain your independence you must always be needed and wanted. The more you are relied on, the more freedom you have. Make people depend on you for their happiness and prosperity and you have nothing to fear. Never teach them enough so that they can do without you." The ongoing reforms will put an end to all of these and the apostles of "48 Laws of Power" in the north are not comfortable with this emerging trend. Fearing that their foundation would be unearthed, they resorted to hiding behind all sort of banners to derail the good intentions of the president.
Education is a foundational effort to fight ignorance and poverty. President Jonathan appreciates this fact and decided to liberate the Almijiris with a special educational programme aimed at improving literacy in the north. In order to reduce poverty in the region, the president also approved the release of about N30b to bail-out the textile industry based mostly in the north. A similar fiscal policy has been extended to the leather sector also in the north. The lower Niger is being dredged to stimulate massive economic activities in the north. President Jonathan has also directed that oil and gas exploration activities be intensified in the north.
This is aimed at increasing the nation's foreign exchange earnings and also indirectly improve the federation account allocations to mineral-producing states in the north. Furthermore, President Jonathan has sent an executive bill to the National Assembly seeking to establish a Hydro-Electric Power Producing Areas Development Commission (HYPADEC) to cater for the needs of the host communities of Nigeria's hydro power plants just like the NDDC is doing for the oil producing communities in the Niger Delta region. With all the above and other noble efforts of the president in mind, it will be safe for one to argue that Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is more Hausa/Fulani than the immediate past and present generation of northern political leaders. ( Continues below..... )
Photo Above: Map of Nigeria showing some major cities, including the Federal capital (Abuja or FCT)
He has shown enough will to liberate the north from social, political, and economic bondage. It will be rewarding therefore for the north to support his presidential ambition. Unknown to many, one of the strongest reason why a section of northern political leaders are against Jonathan's candidature is the latter's choice of Architect Namadi Sambo as vice president. Right from the onset, Sambo has shown that he is not prepared to promote the "old order" in the north.
Groups like the NPLF would have preferred a northern vice president that will be in Aso Rock to pursue the interests of a few northern elitist "old brigades." The average northerner is now wise enough to read the hand writing on the wall and has decided to jettison the "old order" that has confined them to the dustbins of their few selfish elites in the corridors of power.
This is a new Nigeria. This is the reason why most northerners are singing, "I am Goodluck Jonathan. I was not born rich. If he can make it, I too can!"
