[size=18pt]Buhari campaign in Kaduna 2011 elections:[/size]

Yet PDP claimed to get approx 50% of Northern States votes.

Nigerians appear quite at peace and content to accept rigged elections, the denial of their mandate and by implication, their oppression , impoverishment and degradation.

Buhari steps up search for all Politicians and Officials who have failed to report to a Police Station.[/size]

LAGOS, Nigeria, Jan. 7— Nigeria's new military Government is stepping up searches for former politicians and officials of the civilian Government that was overthrown in a coup a week ago.

The new regime is making television appeals for news of the whereabouts of former officials and other Nigerians who are wanted for questioning and is urging citizens to telephone the police if they have information about those who are being sought.

4,000 EX-OFFICIALS SURRENDER IN NIGERIA[/size]

Western diplomats reported today that as many as 4,000 officials of the ousted national and state governments had turned themselves in to the police as part of the new military Government's investigation of corruption. The diplomats said most of the former officials were released, some after their passports were confiscated. But about 400 were reportedly still held under what was described as ''military protection.''

At the same time, the Western diplomats and Nigerian sources said, many of the former officials who were on what the military Government of Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari called its ''most wanted list'' have managed to flee the country. Some who were abroad during the military takeover have decided to remain there.

I am from the south but when gej was contesting then, I told folks closer to me not to vote anytin pdp and they rained curses on me..well,behold ur "beloved" GEJ.

We need a radical leader to bring sanity to little processes in the faulty system and not our normal focus.

The only thing that will stop me from voting for buhari in 2015 is if FASHOLA or OSHOMOLE is contesting.

General Buhari Meets Nigeria's Debt Obligations, Issues New Foreign Exchange Rules[/size]

Nigeria's Federal Military Government, which removed the civilian government of President Shagari in a coup on Dec. 31, has emphasized the importance of Nigeria's meeting its external payments obligations on time. International bankers were relieved when Nigeria paid the first installment of its rescheduled trade debt on time. General Buhari, the head of the supreme Military Council, announced his intention to keep Nigeria in OPEC and to continue discussions with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and commercial lenders.

On Jan. 9 the Central Bank of Nigeria issued new controls on foreign exchange, effective from Jan. 1, 1984. The provisions of most interest to U.S. companies are as follows:

(1) Compulsory Advance Import Deposits

The following rates of compulsory advance deposits will continue in 1984:

Raw materials (except petroleum products) 10 percent

Spare parts 15 percent

Food (except rice) 50 percent

Medicines 50 percent

Building materials 50 percent

Capital goods 50 percent

Books (except single copies), periodicals 50 percent

Motor vehicles and trucks 200 percent

Motor cars 250 percent

Other 250 percent

All importers must pay the applicable rates when registering Form M, the Application for Approval of Foreign Exchange. The advance deposit is now applicable to all imports, whether or not they enjoy credit facilities of more than 180 days.

(2) Commissions

The commission payable to agents or confirming houses which act as intermediaries between importers and exporters has been reduced from a maximum of 4 percent to 2 percent of the f.o.b. value of the consignment.

(3) Technical/Management Service Fees

The existing allowable rate of 20 percent of net profits before taxes that may be remitted in foreign exchange will continue in 1984. However, payment of technical and management fees will not be allowed except in exceptionally deserving cases, such as for manufacturing companies where high technology is required.

(4) Consultancy Fees

The present 20 percent limit of consultancy fees payable in foreign exchange continues, but consultancy fees for feasibility or pre-feasibility studies will not be allowed because such studies may be performed locally.

(5) Travel Allowances

The Basic Travel Allowance will be N100 ($135) per year per person. The foreign exchange allowance for business travel has been suspended until further notice.

(6) Student Remittances

No foreign exchange will be made available to any new student. Students already studying abroad will be able to obtain foreign exchange to complete their studies.

I, as a matter of fact, love you yorubas dearly , I welcome and show yorubas love and the ones around me here understand and appreciate this fact. I don't know why and where this 'yoruba hate for igbos' is steming out from, not all yorubas are tribalists but only a few born haters see igbos as their problems. This insensitivity and tribalism from both sides has to stop please. Thanks.

I always make one comment."if you want to solve the problem of this country,take care of the IGBO and HAUSA" This is my honest opinion without any feeling of tribalism or sentiment. Goodluck is not the problem, I will vote for him agin n again n again....

Tribalism is Nigeria biggest problem and it needs a visionary leader to deal with it.

I believe tribalism should be made taboo and illegal the same way being openly racist is now taboo in the UK.

Elections are not won on Nairaland....

99.85% of voters are not on Nairaland.....

If GEJ scales through the PDP primaries.

Out of the 99.85%,
70% want a change
10% goes for GEJ (Mostly people from S/S and S/E 'Minority votes')
19.85 are undecided....

Who says there are no credible oppositions out of 160million Nigerians?..What an insult!!.
That person needs Brain surgery

Babaken: . Not until lagos state governor FASH surface

your head is just an empty helium baloon. Even if you forcfully push Fashola to run for the presidency in 2015, he'll NEVER listen to you. Reasons are 1, he got age on his side. 2, he'll never want to dent himself or career, knowing politics is a gun, strike ones to win. 3, who will vote him now? Federal character/ zoning things. Don't sit decieved in the west, there are different ethnicities in Nigeria. The north would even prefer an igbo ally and the rest go with that. Besides fashola is a southern muslim and will need a northern christian, or this too doesn't matter? Hehe! Same story we told buhari before he wept publicly, having chosen a kwara, ex muslim as running mate and never thought otherwise. Nigeria is no WEST, political,ethnic and religous sentiments abides and knows no bounds.
Stop talking cheerleader politics it's really irritating.

@earthgreeners

Of course you are right

But surely Nairaland is a legitmate sample for which to conduct a poll (that unlike the actual election poll, is relatively free from rigging)

Buhari did not tolerate religious extremists:

2nd March 1984 – ITN NEWS
GENERAL BUHARI VISITS YOLA AFTER QUENCHING RELIGIOUS RIOTING THAT LEFT DOZENS DEAD.[/size]
Nigeria's military ruler, Major-General Mohamed Buhari, visited the northeastern Nigerian city of Yola - in Gongola state - February 29 to assess the extent of damage caused by violent communal rioting two days earlier.

The known death toll from the religious disturbances is nearly 140, with at least another 60 persons injured, some critically. Gongola's acting state governor, Colonel Cyril Iweze, blamed the turmoil on fanatical followers of Moslem fundamentalist Muhammadu Marwa Maitatsine's religious sect. Marwa himself was killed in vicious rioting three years ago, when an estimated 4,000 people died.

In disturbances on February 27, the army was eventually called in to quell resistance from thousands of religious fanatics, at least 715 of whom were arrested by security forces.

General Buhari visited the Yola Specialist Hospital during his one-day tour of the gutted city, and also met with the Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Mustapha Aliyu, to discuss the situation.

that is to say, in d midst of d blind, a one-eyed man is d king ko?!
a half-baked president shall not rule us again,Nigerians av bcom so sophisticated dt our next president must answer multiple questions based on governance satisfactorily

True (+10000000 likes)

If my uncle contests the office of the presidency against Buhari, I will burst him and VOTE BUHARI, the better candidate, how much more for simpletons. He should distance himself from terrorism as possible as he can and always condemn it, my 2 cents o.

val_dubem: OP there won't be any NIGERIA in 2015.
Boko Haram would have annihilated the North, Ibos seceeded and the you-robbers will join cameroon.

Lol.

In Nigeria tribalism and nepotism;are just two of the main issues when it comes to politics. The masses are simply naive and blindfollowers. Credible and honest candidates will never be elected and even if this happens, the political thugs among the the election officials will ensure that the votes of the masses never get counted as votes.
In the 2011 election, my younger brother was doing his youth service in Isoko north. Politician and the security personnel used force in the village where he was sent by INEC to work the villagers never voted. These guys security and politicians actuall thumprint the ballot papers while confining the village people to their homes.

The writer might be right afterall.

Rochas is not a Jonathan boy oo. Get your facts right. Rochas hates PDP for truncating his presidential political ambition twice.

Buhari signs Barter Trade agreement with Brazil who would refine and return Nigeria's oil in exchange for crude oil[/size]

RIO DE JANEIRO, March 13— Brazil has won an international bidding contest to refine Nigerian oil this year, the state oil company, Petrobras, announced today.

The $1.2 billion agreement calls for Brazil to import Nigerian crude and return refined gasoline, jet fuel and diesel oil to Nigeria, a Petrobras spokesman said. He added that the accord would allow Brazil to reduce its idle refining capacity and earn a margin of profit.

Brazil imports about two-thirds of the one million barrels of oil it consumes daily, mostly from the Middle East. It buys 10,000 barrels daily from Nigeria.

GenBuhari: Tribalism is Nigeria biggest problem and it needs a visionary leader to deal with it.

I believe tribalism should be made taboo and illegal the same way being openly racist is now taboo in the UK.

Certainly a laudable idea but one Nigerians will not commit to for so many reasons. Casually discriminating against others and making prejudicial judgement about others, on grounds of ethnicity, is something many Nigerians enjoy - even those supposedly "well educated" .

Lack of credible candidates is as much the fault of political parties and that of Nigerians.
The process of electing or selecting canditates in the parties are seriously flawed with only the money bags and annoited godsons clinching party tickets.
Nigerians have also not been wise enough to understand that a flawed process will not produce a good result.
It continues to amaze me that majority of Nigerians sit at home during elections without voting only to pray to God for good leaders forgetting that good leaders are not angels dropped from heaven, they are elected my people.

sapphire01: Please I wud really implore we Nigerians to be wise as regards 2015. If someone ere is claiming dat "d devil he knows is beta than some angels he doesn't kno", then dats only a statement of resignation 2 negative fate. If u cum ere 2 say Yorubas are this, hausas are that, and Igbos are that too, I wud like 2 ask u sumfn. Wot do u think is d worst dat cud eva happen 2 dis country? D fact is dat GEJ has made enuff moves dat can sure wreck dis nation nd her people. Terrible things re happening nd GEJ wud rather fold his arms. So by 2015, even if a chairman of NURTW steps up as GEJ's only opposition, shudnt we rather support him? @ least it's a case of 50:50 as regards expectation. As for GEJ, we shudnt expect any positive thing 4rm his side mehn, except we won't learn lessons. Let's not be like dat proverbial dog of old dat failed 2 yield 2 d hunter's whistle. Very soon, d whistles will blow, let's be wise enough to discern which to yield 2. God bless Nigeria

Wht has Jonathan done dt can wreck ds nation. Northernerz are wrecking dem selvez & u say itz Jonathan. He is sitting & watching, yet JTF is tryn to unravel boko haram.

Guy you want GEJ to pee on himself? You wicked o

The PDP itself is reconsidering GEJ as a candidate for 2015. He is most likely not going to win the PDP Presidential Primaries. Forget Goodluck Jonathan, the first President in the whole world to be asked "So What?" inside the Presidency. He's a very big shame to everyone. Even Asari Dokubo who has been shouting in support of GEJ, he has expressed his disappointment at least once.

That, my friend is good news because GEJ has frustrated the machinations of the devil that even the devil's most potent means-propaganda- is failing.
