Other countries advanced because their rulers were prepared to die for nations progress. google martin luther king, nelson mandela, mahatma ghandi. do u say we deserve lesser humans as president?

kingoflag:

Oh my god, You call avoiding doing the right thing and looting the country's funds in the process "WISDOM"?!!?

Truckpusher: Nope.Nigeria's own problem is somehow different, in those names you just mentioned they were all fighting against an establishment and not some faceless criminally minded mafia like fellows who their ultimate aim is just to make money at all cost .I can assure you that they'll kill you and replace you with another puppet that will be more appealing to the masses and case closed.

And in your own world you just wrote a first class genius piece? Man, the special class of mo.rons Nigeria breeds is on another level.

kingoflag:

So, the best thing is to remain a coward and join them in their destruction.

Oh, Ok, lemme see.... when JFK got assassinated every American President after that kowtowed to the Mob, Russians, Communists, Sinister Politicians and their ilk....

Smh, lmao damn some of you are mentally slow as hell its not even funny.

ypzilanti:

So we should have presidents that are fearful of death,then? Awesome.

Truckpusher: why don't you stick to the topic and stop the name calling because when I'll start you'll be the first to run to Afam4ever to report....pls stick to topic or don't quote me because when it comes to name calling I'm an expert I dey kampke

Truckpusher: No again.We should have a president that follows due process, be proactive and above all put the necessary infrastructure in place.If you want to fight corruption effectively in Nigeria you'll need a total overhaul of the constitution and who's ready for that right now?...our constitution gives room for people to steal and manoeuvre because it's flawed.

trillville: First of all Nigeria has never had a problem with leaders that can plan and create beautiful manifestoes. I am very sure that babangida's SAP was a very good economic blue print on paper.
The difference between good and bad leadership in Nigeria has always been about implementation. Today GEJ is privatizing PHCN and the same GEJ is buying 30 planes for his friends in the already privatized aviation sector. With the type of individuals who looted Nigeria currently lobbying to buy PHCN, how can we be sure that GEJ will still not be the one providing funds for running of the company after it has been sold?

Buhari spent less than two years in power yet he has such an effect on nigerians even till this day. He has never been a bigot and will never be. He placed both shagari (Hausa) and ekwueme (Igbo) under house arrest and did not favor his Hausa brother. He put another northerner, umaru dikko in a crate and attempted to smuggle dikko into Nigeria just to ensure that he faced the full arm of the law.

Sure Buhari was high handed, it is true that he had and unforgiven character but remember that no one is perfect and again realize that PDP has being in power for over 13 years and by 2015 would have been in power for about 16 years. What has Nigeria achieved in all this time that we should keep voting in the same government. How can we expect any change if we keep repeating the same thing. Are we crazy people?

If GEJ and Buhari have the same plans or even similar plans, should nigerians care about who actually implements such plans or be more concerned that such plans are implemented?

How do we motivate our government to implement plans that will make our lives better? Under a dictatorship the people must revolt but under a democracy the people must vote out the ruling party. The only power the people have is in their vote. The ruling government will then realize that if they do not perform to expectations they will be voted out. Doesn't this make common sense?

Finally if GEJ upholds his election promises and delivers the dividends of democracy to nigerians, I see no reason why we should not vote him in 2015 but if corruption continues unabatedly then I think we all need to buckle up and save our country whether we are PDP members or not.

Sincere 9gerian: Since I've been hearing or reading reports on Buhari and his presidential ambition, I've never heard him state what he intends TO DO if he gets voted in as president.

Dont we have the RIGHT TO KNOW what Buhari intends to do with power?

I dont know about you but I have the right to know what Buhari PLANS and INTENTIONS are in the following critical areas:

1)What will Buhari do about power supply? Will he stop or continue with the privatisation and liberalization? If he intends to continue with privatisation, what then is the need since the incumbent is already doing a good job in that direction.

2)What will Buhari do about rail transport? Will he continue the ongoing massive construction of old and modern rail tracks? If yes, then no need because the incumbent is already doing a wonderful job in that direction. ARRANT NONESENCE.......I WANT TO ASSURE U THAT BUHARI WILL DO FAR FAR BETTER THAN GEJ'S SIX YEARS PUT TOGETHER IN SIX MONTHS. ATLEAST, I KNOW HE WILL BE ABLE TO PUT JONATHAN AND HIS THIEFING MINISTERS AND ADVISERS IN JAIL WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOUR AND THEY WILL VOMIT ALL THE STOLEN WEALTH INCLUDING ALL THOSE LEGISLOOTERS AND GOVERNORS BUYING PRIVATE JETS. THERE WILL BE ACCOUNTABILITY AND I CAN ALSO ASSURE U THAT FUEL SUBSIDY AND NNPC ROGUES WILL HAVE CAUSE TO ROT IN JAIL AND WE WILL ATLEAST HAVE PEACE IN THIS COUNTRY. .....SO UR CASE IS CLOSED ....ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM U?

3)What will Buhari do about our airports? Will he continue with the ongoing reconstruction? If yes, then the incumbent is already doing a fantastic job in that direction.

4) what will Buhari do about our roads? Will he continue the ongoing reconstruction of Abuja-Lokoja, Benin-Ore, Enugu-Onitsha, Kano- Maiduguri,etc roads? If yes, then no need because the incumbent is already doing that.

5) What will Buhari do to uplift the standard of education? Will he continue with the increased funding of govt owned higher institutions, UBEC interventions in basic educations, distribution of basic education textbooks, building of Almajiri schools,etc? If yes, then he shouldn't bother because the incumbent is already doing that.

6) What will Buhari do about Agriculture? Will he continue with distribution of subsidized fertilizers, free improved seeds,opening up of value chains of key crops,etc. If yes, then he shouldn't bother because the current minister of agric is already doing a marvelous job. Who will do agric better than Akinwumi Adeshina?

7) How will Buhari create jobs? Will he be banking on the same agric sector to create jobs, YOUWIN and schemes such as the ongoing women and youth empowerment programme, etc? If yes, why bother since that is already ongoing?

How does Buhari hope to improve our economy? Which Alhaji does he hope to appoint as finance minister? Who can improve our economy better than Okonjo Iweala? Which coach will chose Ahmed Musa ahead of Messi? Does Buhari intend to sack another 1million civil servants like he did in the 80's? We have the right to know.

9) How does Buhari hope to fight corruption? Will he use the EFCC? Will the courts be taken over by the executive? Will the EFCC and ICPC be scrapped? Does Buhari intend to be the prosecutor and the judge to hasten quick dispensation of justice? Will he set up military tribunals? What does Buhari intend to do to reduce corruption in Nig?

I have the RIGHT TO KNOW and I think many Nigerians would like TO KNOW TOO!

abolyem: I listen to Buhari Manifesto during the last election debate, what he said is that what Nigeria need is a strong Institution that will enable everything good to work just the way it is in US and other developed country. That is making sure that is discipline and zero tolerance for corruption in all facet of our life that you mentioned above. we don't need this working while others are not working. if indiscpline and corruption are duly fought not the way been fought now, every other things will fall into places.
See below the comments of great leaders even the bad leaders in oppositions:

- “Buhari is a forthright and very clearly a disciplined man. He has managed to cut the image of a person who abhors corruption genuinely”. - Nuhu Ribadu Chairman EFCC Daily Trust - 27th Feb. 2007,

- “Buhari stands out to be the most DEDICATED and PATRIOTIC leader" -
Chief Olu Falae - ThisDay Newspaper, 23rd March 2007,

- "Buhari took any work that was given to him very seriously. He is reliable as he is hardworking and honest ”.
President Olusegun Obasanjo, in his book,
Not My Will.

- "As far as moral discipline goes,Buhari remains a shinning star in the firmament of generally lascivious and bankrupt military officers."
Chief Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu ... The Sun Newspaper, 15th August 2002.

"This generation of Nigerians and indeed the future generation shall have no other country but Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together"----General Buhari in 1983.

''Buhari is an uprightman''. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo

General Muhammadu Buhari was fond of telling contractors on visit to sites: “If you perform well, you get a handshake. If you perform badly, you get a handcuff”

From his various perches as minister to governor to head of state, not even counting stints at the NNPC and the Petroleum Trust Fund, Gen. Buhari succeeded in showing that being appointed to public office should not be seen as an invitation for anyone to ‘come and eat’ but to come and serve.....” ACN(Action Congress of Nigeria)

The late Gani Fawehinmi of blessed memory once desribed Gen. Buhari thus:''his purse is as lean as his stature ''. he has been tested both as a military man (minister of petroleum and later head of state among others)and as a civilian in the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund, no iota of corruption moral or financial can be traced to him either directly or indirectly,. GOD BLESS NIGERIA

BigBizzy: abi oh..even me too cant answer these simple Q's...fine he did well during his time, so well done. My point is there must be something they are not telling us about the presidential power cos i still woner why those who must have tasted it once, be in civilian or military times still want a taste

ypzilanti:

President has power to influence changes in constitution by promoting the amendments he feels will make his job easier.

Anyway, in the case of corruption, it is not the constitution that is the problem. The problems are the laws, and the political will to change the laws. We should be talking about making 'mandatory minimum sentencing laws' this means that no matter what, there is a minimum sentence you have to serve if found guilty. We also need to make sure that corruption cases are fast-tracked-this can be done by legislation too.Also, judges need to know that they are under the monitoring of security agencies, and a few of them should be used as examples. all this can be done pretty easily by a committed leader.

Sincere 9gerian:
If we ask questions of other political actors, shouldn't we also ask of Buhari?

Standing5: Buhari above all other things represents the biggest obstacle to corrupt practices.

ypzilanti:

The GEJ propogandists have a largely illiterate and emotional population. They are exploiting this very well. I have asked severally for evidence of Buhari's bigotry...no answer. One dude said that Finance minister would be a northerner if Buhari becomes president. Exposing his own personal bigotry against northerners...and yet buhari had a yoruba man as his finance minister when he was head of state.

Where Im from we dont snitch. I guess thats why we hate hypocrites and deceits.

So, if youre an expert you dont have to issue any warnings, I already fired some shots your way because of how ignorant you insist on sounding, all you had to do was return fire instead of threatening to do so.

okosodo: Nigerians should note that northern muslims will slowly but surely make nigeria an islamic state. This is a fact because the real islam(the one practised by northerners) can not be separated from politics.
