Truckpusher: With one dude posting a crap you concluded that everyone right here commenting in GEJ's favour are all illiterates....so, what happened to freedom of expression and free speech?...maybe your beginning to show your true color, you can't stand being disagreed with.... go ahead and do what you know how to do best

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

[size=18pt]Buharinomics - General Buhari’s economic program marshaled out to salvage the nation in 1984 (- - - continued part 4)[/size]

The Nigerian government and veteran economists in Nigeria (like Aluko, Onosade, Okigbo, etc) could not make sense of being asked to devalue its currency when Nigeria’s imports were in dollar and its export (fixed quantity of oil) was also in dollar. The implication of devaluation was that Nigeria would pay more to import lesser quantity of goods than it did prior to any devaluation. It would also export the same amount of oil it exported before any devaluation and derive lesser revenue than it received before any devaluation The impacts of it debt payment would have harsher effect on the citizenry if the naira was devalued. This did not make any economic sense to Buhari; it struck him as an insult on the intelligence of the African. Finance Minister Onaolapo Soleye and Alhaji Abubakar Alhaji who led the Nigerian delegation to the last negotiation in Washington were chewed out by US Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volcker, for presenting the Nigerian governments rejection of most of these recommendations.

For rejecting the IMF conditions and the loan, the Buhari administration got into the black book of Washington. Already, it had earned the dislike of 10 Downing Street for cutting down Nigeria’s imports from the UK by about 350%. In any case, without the IMF loan, government was still in a bind as to how to finance capital projects and pay for imports, especially spare parts for local industries, food items, etc. At this juncture, the genius and resourcefulness of Buharinomics illuminated to the delight of the African.

First, the administration sent Oil Minister Tam David West to OPEC to seek a raise in the quantity of oil that Nigeria could export. If OPEC agreed, Nigeria would expect to generate extra revenue in the long run from any increase of its oil quota and this would assist tremendously in augmenting the shortfall in the nation’s purse. Professor West came back empty handed—the US and Britain had put pressure on their puppets in OPEC (like Saudi Arabia) to refuse Nigeria’s request.

heed101: Without reading I know it ingrate Nigerian. Oshisko. No second term 4 ur boss.

PointB:

I don't quite get why we should leave Buhari alone. A lot of Nigerians would certainly like to know what Buhari forgot in the State House, that corpers had to die because he lost election.

kingoflag:

Yeah, but as much as people like myself love Buhari, your postings seem more like propaganda and could put people off. Youve posted the same things over and over again, dont you think its about time you limit the pics and stop giving undecided people the impression that hes going to take the country to the past? You, I and well meaning Nigerians know that Buhari is probably the last good man standing right now in Nigerian politics, but your posts are starting to be amor for evil animals like InsincereDevil9gerian to use against him and sway the minds of Nigerians whom you should remember are mostly politically ignorant and could turn against even Jesus using the flimsiest of excuses.

Jerie:

So, it is GEJ's lying to parishioners in church with cooked-up Transparency Int'l stats dt can be separated from politics? After all the years of Northern Moslem rule, did Nigeria eva become a muslim state?

Your leaky logic is really getting on my nerves.

yertyr: At op... Thank u very much 4 this topic... I've often wondered why 9jrians can be clueless- dwellin on the past to judge d present. How can u judge buhari based on how others rule and give him a pass mark... that's d type of mental attitude we have... That's d reason none of his followers can answer u? They don't knw d present buhari... They go down memory lane and draw up conclusion. Smh

Billyonaire: If Buhari contests again, he will seal his destiny as a failure in life, I advise him not to attempt contesting. Well, I do know the following will happen if Buhari becomes President;
* Sharia will be empowered.
* EFCC will be scrapped
* Most PDP members will go on exile
* Oil Licenses will be renewed for the Northerners
* Boko Haram will have a line of credit from the Federal Govt
* Power Sector reform will be put on hold to 'investigate' all the funds injected into the sector since 1999
* Babariga will become national uniform at Aso rock
* El Rufai will become Minister
* I will pack out of Nigeria
But the fact is, with all these expectations in mind, it is not worth appointing an half educated, religiously emotional, radically unpredicted, Tribally biased, militarily back-grounded, Boko nominated, aged and hausa accented Buhari to Aso Rock. We need new breed of technocrats, people like GEJ, Akpabio, Fashola, Ribadu, Barth Nnaji, Ngozi Iweala, Aganga, and the likes of Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote who are tested and trusted in the economic management ideals. My piece, from my mind.

Flyboy Zee: @OsunOriginal, you lied.

There is absolutely nobody living in Nigeria that would not acknowledge the improvement in power supply accross the nation. If you want to hate, please find a genuine reason not power supply.

@GMB apologists, this is not a military government where everything and anything is done by brutal force. This is a democracy, you habe to persuade, appease, appeal, and negotiate with people to get your way. For instance, OBJ came to power and further messed everything up with his military bravadoism, alacrity and brutalism. It is now we are begining a democracy. I keep maintaining that OBJ only continued military rule, because what we had under OBJ was really not a democracy. All those supporting GMB should know that we are done with military rule and wouldn't want the return of BRUTALITY!

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.

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! Where is @Beaf today?

gudguy.com:
I agree that Buhari is better than many of our leaders but I still believe that he does not have the leadership qualities to lead this great country again. He does not have any good news for this country.Mind you, it was on record that during his tenure as Head of State, some forms of corruptions were allowed. He is not a messiah we need at this time. He has caused several spillage of blood in this country. He should only serve as a mentor to others. He can never rule this country. NEVER!

0lumide:

Edumare bless you!!

I don't know why people let bigotry and party loot sharing blind their eyes to the fact that Nigeria may be no more and in a deadly war should corruption continue.

If you want to know what Buhari will do, read his campaign speeches and interviews during last election.

Buhari please run one last time!! Go at it!! WE WANT A PATRIOT AND A TRUE ONE AT THAT!!!

Either Ribadu/Fashola or Buhari/Fashola!! If you can't fight corruption, you will fight Nigerians!!

joseph1832:
Dude for the first time I was actually enjoying your thread until you said "which alhaji does he want to appoint minister of..." Then it hit me, your not only a tribalist but also a religious bigot.

Until people like you stop advocating tribalism and religious bigotry, meritocracy will never see the light of day!

thirdeye: Please can anybody states the projects Buhari did in the South when he was the chairman of PTF? This card has been played lately and is difficult to ignore.
Pls the OP asked a question I for once also really wants to know Buhari's achievements may be I can finally supports him. The attacks on people on the forum is unnecessay just do this thing civil.

Lanre6: you are only saying this because you have not been into north,you dont know the supremacy between between christians and muslims.ask deeply about the death of former kaduna gov.,plane crash of taraba state governor.wide jubilation of muslims in northern kaduna about their governor's death.ibi,taraba state crisis.nepotism in recruitment,promotion.you will hardly come back to pray that buhari should rule nigeria.

Godstimefx: U av simply said nothing. The question is wat does he intend to do interms of his programmes and not whether he'll do better. I accept that he's incorigible but if he hasnt got something newer and beta than wat is already ongoing, then his quest lacks purpose.

fratochi: Please can some one especially the vicious buhari protagonists intelligently respond to the issues raised by the moderator instead of the unnecessary name-calling time wasting, I am neither a card carrying CPC or PDP member, but I am a strong believer in good and equitable governance. I also wish to remind us that being 'christian saint' or a 'muslim afar' is not an automatic credential or qualification for good leadership. It is all encompassing, and most importantly, masses friendly,not inclined to 'power-hungary desperation , void of ethnic and religious sentiments. You can make your deductions as regards buhari, jonathan and past nigerian leaders .

SUBMARINE: Several politicians were sentence 2 death, life imprisonment but Shagari d leader of d govt he toppled was placed under house arrest. His action proves dat corruption cant be defeated because of ethno-religious & regional sentiments. My questn 4 his loyalists is Y WAS SHAGARI NOT KILLED

kingoflag:

So, the unruly, corrupt and indisciplined way of life most of you are used to is what you want to continue?

anulaxad:
THAT IS MY OWN OPINION.


Other than you taking on buhari's side your comment seemed very truthful.
But I still feel buhari is a mad man waiting to be unleashed from his cage.

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.

kingoflag:

Go and google RONALD REAGAN then come back and tell me what you found out.

OsunOriginal:

That is how life is lived in SE/SS...
