Ladies and gentlemen, this man should be our next President. In any serious democracy, he will win in the majority. My concern though, is Nigeria. A country that hates serious change. Nonetheless, any right thinking progressive Nigerian should throw his or her full support behind this man.. femioyetibo@yahoo.com (member California Club).

If INEC conducts credible elections, here's looking at the next President of Nigeria: Donald Duke.
There should be no fear of "cabals" and "mafias"; they want war of words -- as in all true democracies, we shall give them hell.

Nigerians, arise and support Donald. He is the real deal.

He is the man we need I would not mind flying to Nigeria to support him. He is the kind of Guy that will disgrace poeple like Babangida in a free and fair election.

I am all in support of change but if change in a man like Donald Duke means failed projects like Tinapa then please lets look elsewhere... Nigerians have short memories indeed.... This Donald Duke aspirant put our state in perpetual debt with his white elephant project in Tinapa then went and built luxury high rise apartments in Ikoyi with his kickback... Haba....! When will we learn...?

Donald Duke made a BIG transformation to Calabar. His actions in the tranformation is what other Governors like Lagos state Gov is trying to emulate. If Tinapa project failed, please assess the % of failure based on overall performance of the individual and not 1 or few failed projects. You can never have it 100% from any individual. Donald Duke is a great candidate. I pray for a free & fair election. God bless Nigeria!!!

Zik of Africa we know,Ikemba of Nigeria we also know,but who are you? Some people will never learn lesson.What are you trying to prove? That you're better than Dr.Goodluck Jonathan? Are we seeing another Shoneken against Abiola?For God's sake, have a re-think, ok?

A prophet is without honour except in his own land. My people say a mans hatred is only at his birthplace- how dear this CROSS RIVER speak evil of Donald DUKE- states like Rivers state today will proudly tell you that Calabar is it- its the only state in the country where people are still humans- where else does people go for holidays in NIGERIA outside crossriver state- THANKS TO DUKE. Tinapa has not failed, Akwa ibom state is now squeesing out the little revenue that that would ve put that project going- hopes are high anyway. DONALD, i will do my best to see you through . udo diri gi

I had to chill a wee-bit to allow other distinguished readers post thier comments. My people, HOW can we all join heads/hands/body/brains/rifles/bazookas/anytin needed for Donald Duke to get on the seat? Can anybody contact who they feel would be in charge of his campaign comittee or whatever towards possibly setting up a funding mechanism for people to contribute?

@ Crossriver.....your post indicates one thing. BAD BELLE! such leads to people cooking up stories/lies. the 1st time ANYBODY is saying the Tinapa project failed. You think say na 10years it will take for Tinapa to do all they plan to do there? oh....i forget! people like you dey perform MAGIC, build 1 bunk in 1 day. then husband & wife fit dey busy pro-creating, roof go fall on top dem head. right? you call am "white elephant" project. is it not better than NO PROJECT like people like his neigbor--Ibori did?

Ha Ha Ha! Nigerians are funny set of people. What do you all know about Donald Duke apart from Tinapa and Obudu? There is no doubt he is young and handsome and might physically represent the looks of what we want in a future President but in honesty and sincerity he is out of it. Ask him what he did with the World Bank/African Development Bank Loan he collected to give each and every crossriverian pipe born water. He is a swindler who has done nothing but propaganda and ended up living crossriverians badly indebted for the next 4/5 decades. He is nothing but a show man!
