Nigeria will soon collapse. Does it mean we dont have new breed of leaders. We need a change; a neutral man or woman. |

Those who still claim that Nigeria's problem is corruption are very ignorant. After the events of the last 2 years, any intelligent Nigerian should have realised, like I have been shouting on this forum, that Nigeria's problem is not corruption. Nigeria's problem is the fight of the various regions and groups for domination. The biggest threat to Nigeria and the cause of all our problems is the insistence from certain groups that they must rule. That is the fundamental problem and that is what has created corruption, insecurity and other vices. Unfortunely for Buhari, he is the true poster boy of that fundamental problem. He epitomizes it. Not just on a regional level, but also on a personal level. The big issue I have with Buhari is that he is not even a leader in the first place. It is one thing to be a natural leader who aspires to a public office to make a change. It is another thing for one to be an ordinary person with no true ideologies and followership but believes he can lead when elected into office. Who are Buhari's proteges. This is an over 70 years old man (he is actually close to 80 considering that army officers also use football age like footballers), yet he doesnt have true followership or proteges. He has mentored no one and cannot be truly called a leader. Yet he wants to rule. I have listened to him, interview after interview and all you hear is a senile, bitter old man who is angry he cannot fulfill a life long ambition and is willing to let hell loose to achieve it by playing on the sentiments of the society. Truth be told that, if you remove the northern sentiments of wanting a northerner to rule by all means, Buhari will not even get 1 million votes across the country. Those who suggest a Buhari/Oshiomole or Buhari/Fashola ticket make me laugh because, if you remove the norths greedy quest for power out of the equation, Oshiomole or Fashola will beat Buhari hands down in a presidential election even without campaigning and I am not even a fan of Fashola. 2 Likes |

Well, though these achievements stare them in the face, the ACN/CPC e-cockroaches have continued to live in DENIAL.

[size=18pt]Making Nigeria Work Once Again, by Muhammadu Buhari[/size] Published on Wednesday, 06 April 2011 21:31 Written by General Muhammadu Buhari It gives me great pleasure to have this opportunity of standing before you this morning to say a few words about our party and what plans we have for you and the nation in our manifesto. Let me therefore begin by welcoming all of you to the event. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the CPC Election Manifesto which sets out our election promises and plan of action. Its central and urgent message is that as Nigerians, we must restructure the country and change our ways. And in this there is an invitation to each and every one of us to come forward and join the struggle, so that together we take the destiny of this nation in our hands—and change it into a united, prosperous, caring, truly democratic Federal republic. But before we will be able to do this, we must secure, manage and govern the country in a way that releases the energies and potentials of our people and direct these to wholesome ends. Giving this direction is what a CPC government is here to do in order to arrest the nation’s aimless drift. In its 12 years of misgovernance the government of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, had bastardised the nation. In all this period, it has done very little that is right, even less that is proper, and nothing intrinsically useful or cost-effective. It was as if they only came to pauperise the nation; and it could be said that during their time, the only places that prospered were the cemeteries and the bank accounts of a thieving elite. People in their thousands died due to poverty, hunger, disease and violent crises and violent crimes, as custodians of the nation’s resources smiled their ways to the bank. The wealth, which would have alleviated the people’s poverty; the food, which would have satiated their hunger; and money for drugs, which would have restored them to health; and the resources for the maintenance of law and order, which would have ensured the security of the land, have all been siphoned by this insensitive leadership. As a result, today, we cannot sleep safely in our beds or drive in safety on our highways in safety. Without power, without water and without good roads, we lack all the things other normal societies take for granted. We all know the problems of this country, and we have known them for the past 12 years ago and before; but, apparently, it is only now that the PDP is becoming aware of them, saying that it will try to solve them. So, where was the so-called largest political party south of the Sahara during the last 12 years? What stopped people of the ruling party from giving the nation electric power, something they promised to do after six months of coming to power? What stopped them from securing the nation from communal, religious and political violence and from the new wave of terrorism? How many years do they need to do that? And after this glaring failure they even had the temerity to ask for your votes. How on earth can anyone consider giving his vote to the PDP? Who in his right mind will consider four more years of this open thievery? Who in his senses will elect four more years of betrayal of trusts? Or four more years of broken promises? Or four more years of a collapsed and collapsing system? Or four more years of economic mismanagement? Ladies and gentlemen, I am Muhammadu Buhari, and today I am 69 years old; and I am sure I don’t have to remind you that I have fought many battles in my life. I have fought drift and purposelessness in this nation. I have fought corruption and indiscipline. I have fought indolence and the betrayal of trusts. I have fought the Nigerian civil war and struggled for the unity of this country in many other ways. I have had the fortune and privilege of managing national resources in various capacities—as a military commander, as a state governor, as a minister, as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, and as the head of state of this great country. And in all that I have been and done, I have never touched a kobo of public funds. I say this without pride and with all sense of responsibility and humility; but I challenge anyone in the race for the leadership of this country then or now to dare make the same claim. After being head of state, I am sure I could easily have retired into a life of comfort and ease as an elder statesman, as a contractor or as a beneficiary of any one of the nation’s many generous prebendal offerings. But that is not what I wish to do with my life. And so, if I don’t take any of these alternative courses of action, it should be clear that I am not in this for the love of office or for pursuit after personal glory or in order to achieve some personal goal. Far be it from me that this should be. I need nothing and I have nothing more to prove. I am in this solely for the love of my country and concern for its destiny and the fate of its people. [size=18pt]And that is why, despite the many disappointments along the way, I am still in the struggle and will remain in it to the end. I have decided to dedicate the remainder of my life to fighting for the people of this country—until their right is restored to them.[/size] We call on you to join us and change the destiny of this nation. And change is what CPC is all about. I am sure you will all agree with me that the question is not whether there we should change, because change we must. The only questions remaining are determining the type of change and the speed with which that change will be implemented. To effect this, we have assembled a team of competent, experienced and patriotic Nigerians to become the vanguard of the change to get the country out the woods and away from the malaise that has kept it down. We are on a rescue mission to recreate Nigeria and transform it into a powerful and prosperous nation. Our focus will be on improving the efficiency of national economic management; and the reintroduction of national economic development planning and the plan to successfully manage change. The area of emphasis of our government will be on the following five: ensuring security, in which a CPC government will seek the disarmament of all criminal gangs in the nation and securing the entire polity; raising the standard of education and providing quality services at all its levels; the aggressive pursuit after youth development and youth employment generation; rehabilitating dilapidated infrastructure; and the total disarming of the Niger Delta, finding solutions to its social problems and laying down a comprehensive blueprint for the development of the area. Along the way, we also intend to make this nation accountable and corruption-free, and bring morality back to governance. We shall make this nation uncomfortable to those who do not wish to play by the rules. We shall challenge vested interests and erase unearned privileges. Propriety and legality will be our new watchwords; and, hopefully, in time this will become the new business as usual for the nation. It goes without saying that this nation must be set free—from the clutches of a corrupt culture that has stunted the growth and development of democracy. A CPC government will seek to entrench democratic values, uphold the rule of law, respect the independence of the judiciary, and enforce the political neutrality of public service. It is our undertaking that after just one term in office, a CPC government will entrench a new democratic culture that will be impossible to dismantle even by the most tough-minded anti-democrats. We have set our priorities and we shall pursue them relentlessly. I urge you to read our manifesto and see what we have planned for this nation. And when you do so, you will see why, in the circumstance, the only sensible thing to do—is to vote for my party, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. It is a young party but it has already set all the others to flight. It will change the way politics is practiced in this country. Our enterprise is truly an ambitious one. It is not just about winning an election: it is about restoring a sense of decency to our society. It is about taking pride in, and respecting, ourselves as human beings and consciously internalising democratic values. Unless we do this, development and true freedom will forever elude us and talents will never flower in the land. But if the answer is democracy, what exactly is the question? The question is: Why are we still not properly practicing it? And that is where CPC comes in—to provide the missing link. And with your support we shall begin to do just that in the next couple of weeks. Thank you very much for your patience and attention.

Buhari has made himself an enemy of democracy when he overthrew a democratically elected government in 1983. therefor the GOD in heaven and the gods of nature will not permit him to rule this nation. He will remain a serial loser even if boko haram and there father prophet Mohamed(pis be on to him)mobilize all the Muslims to vote for him. |

What more can I say? Enough said already! kudos to those who stood behind and are still standing in for JONATHAN definitely BUHARI is a spent force not to be taken into consideration again! I wonder how a Buhari administration in 1984 would shift blames to those hounding Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his acolytes to the 5th Columnist right under his watch that is a sign of gross ineptitude, definitely if Papa was 'mistakenly killed' he would still deny not knowing anything about it, I only give him credit for the WAI, because I saw discipline publicly for the first time in Nigeria way back then, but talking of structural developments to the polity, Abacha was even better off, Buhari my foot  Thank God Jonathan will remain to fulfill his "Good Plans" for us till 2019  |

Re: I’ll Run For Presidency In 2015, Says Buhari by danny301: 9:51am "I like Buhari as a person but i sincerely feel he is pushing this ambition of becoming the President too far. Am beginning to think that Buhari has the notion that he is the only Nigerian that has what it takes to save the country from the present situation which is not true. Its true that GEJ is not all we expect of a Nigerian President yet its unfair to say that he has failed.... For the sake of Nigeria why not all the former presidents/heads of state drop their personal issues and rally around GEJ with their wealth of experiences and make succeed instead of distracting for their personal gains? The problem of Nigeria is not just GEJ or any individual but institutional intricacies and complications and to solve such fundamental mental problems the president needs the support of every Nigerian especially the 'big guns'. Buhari or any other person would still not do much as the president under the same situation, Buhari may be a strong leader but we must not forget that ruling as a military dictator is not the same as presiding over a democratic state and within the tenet of the constitution. what Africa (Nigeria) need is not a strong leader ( like Buhari, OBJ, IBB, etc) but a strong and working institution and system...." @ danny301 I have come to agree with the higlighted line in your statement concerning the subject. Coincidentally that was the same thing his colleagues (IBB & Co)accused him of (....arrogating to themselves absolute knowledge of the solution to the nation's problem) when the overthrew his ass two decades ago. Somebody that has the link to the speech can insert a link. I doubt the leopard can ever change fer spots or the zebra its stripes. To me the guy is not really a democrat. Most people that were at least 10 years old when he held sway will not argue this. |

One funny thing about Buhari is that he has been hoodwinked by political sycophants with the song; "The downfall of a man is not the end of his life, sooner or later he shall overcome his problems" forgetting that in this case, it is not applicable to his status! In his rash judgments of his past administrations he had stepped on so many 'innocent and guilty toes' who unfortunately are part of those calling the shots in today's government and beside that Buhari is not a good administrator he is too rigid, even God can be Flexible in his Majesty how much less mere mortal like Buhari |

[size=18pt]23 March 1984 - ITN News BUHARI’S GOVERNMENT LAUNCHES “WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE”[/size] Nigeria's military government is stepping-up its campaign against corruption, mismanagement and indiscipline at all levels in Nigeria society. Preliminary hearings into corruption and abuse of office against former politicians and civil administrators have already begun and on March 21 the government launched its war against indiscipline. One of the first areas under attack is Illegal Street trading in the capital Lagos. The military government of Major-General Buhari has promulgated a decree forbidding the street trading, a major source of income for many thousands of Lagos people. Police have already begun arresting street vendors and confiscating their wares. The campaign is also designed to foster greater personal and social discipline with Nigerians being urged to queue for buses in an orderly fashion. The crackdown on indiscipline was announced by Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon, a member of the Nigerian Supreme Military Council. BRIGADIER TUNDE IDIAGBON: "I want you to bear in mind the need to emphasise self-discipline and leadership by good example. Begin by drawing public attention to little but important everyday manifestations of indiscipline such as rushing into buses, driving on the wrong side of the road, littering the streets, parks and dwelling compounds, cheating, taking undue advantage of scarcity to inflate prices for quick monetary gains, constituting ourselves into public nuisances, walking without commitment and devoting little or no time to the upbringing of our children. Up to this moment there has been no formal declaration of war against indiscipline, it is my pleasure therefore to declare today a launching day for the war against indiscipline." [size=18pt]The Buhari administration identified indiscipline as the bane of the nation's ills and therefore decided to fight it in all its ramifications. Hence the pre-occupation of the regime was the launching of the different phases of the War Against Indiscipline (WAI) which has become a household word in may Nigerian homes. There were five phases of WAI, namely:- a. Queuing (March 20, 1984) b. Work Ethics (May 1, 1984) c. Nationalism and Patriotism (August 21, 1984) d. Anti-Corruption and Economic Sabotage (May 14, 1985) e. Environmental Sanitation (July 29, 1985). https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.64.html[/size] |
