I understood that there was little corruption during his time. False?

Also, I am not aware that his government used flogging as a tool to punish erring masses. Yes, it may have been used by some quasi-military agencies and the police, but we have the same today.

Don't police flog people now? And the army publicly humiliating civilians? I tell you of a recent (well, a few months ago) event where the army team on the road block between Owo and Akungba apparently forced a 'poorly dressed' lady to bring her t*ts out to be fondled by the Okada guy ferrying her. I understand the Ondo State University (Akungba) girl was dressed for a party on a weekend, and the army thought her dressing was distasteful, and her punishment was that depraved humiliation. We happen to leave in a society with peculiar values. We can't peg everything on Buhari.

NB: Just to confirm that the incident about the army was relayed to me by a relative. I can't vouch that it happened.

Katsumoto:

To add to that; just yesterday, a man was punished by soldiers for crossing a road and not using the pedestrian crossing. I have seen the pictures.

nku5: Buhari's too old abeg. I'd rather see fashola/amaechi if he cross carpets to APC or mark/amaechi if he remains in PDP

Katsumoto: @ Edo Girl

I disagree with the choice of Ameachi as VP on the following grounds

1. He doesn't have a large amount of supporters. Most voters in Ameachi's region will vote GEJ anyway; so what leverage does Ameachi have?

2. A more competent administrator should be VP to Buhari. I don't see why Fashola should be overlooked on the basis of religion. June 12, a muslim/muslim ticket won against a Muslim/Xtian ticket.

Desola:

Excuse me mam, sorry to interrupt this conversation but I wanted to let you know that I am a long standing admirer of yours.

Thank you.

Katsumoto:

How do you get Mark/Ameachi in PDP with a sitting president belonging to PDP?

Obiagelli:
i love the way you table your arguments, simply brilliant. I hope you make more contributions here.
@ topic i doubt the number of votes Amechi would bring in as vice president, like it's been said above igbos would most likely vote gej except Apc wins anambra and chooses rochas as it's VP thereby selling the igbo presidency agenda for 2019.

Ikengawo: Buhari fought corruption by flogging people and averting the judicial system. did it work?

fluid26: Buhari appears to have a stance against corruption, but his strong tribal statements have SEALED his political doom in Nigeria. It is impossible for him to win any election. Any party that features him risks a political demise.

I disagree that igbos would massively vote for GEJ. The man has consistently proven to be unworthy of the seat, through action and spoken word. He is a failure. Everybody knows this. That is why he has employed Asari and his associates to issue threats to northerners, in anticipation of gaining ethnic sympathy from southerners for 2015; despite his proven ineptitude. Forgetting that those that did so in the past ended up losing. He has been in government for many years, but still doesn't know how/when to talk/respond to situations. People are dying in the north, students are wasting away as ASUU victims, oil theft is at it's peak since discovery, unemployment figures are incalculable. How much longer? The man doesn't seem to care. All he knows is to approve chop-chop projects and set up kangaroo committees. It appears he is setting up a process to disintegrate the country. I just don't know.

GEJ sees Amaechi as his strongest opponent come 2015; that's why he is using all possible means to muscle him out of the scene. An Amaechi/Fashola or Fashola/Amaechi ticket would be a landslide victory. The APC know this, and they are doing everything possible to woo Amaechi to their team. I do not see any other combination that can cause problems for the PDP.

Know that the apc WILL NOT feature Buhari. His involvement in 2015 is not permutable.

nku5: Buhari's too old abeg. I'd rather see fashola/amaechi if he cross carpets to APC or mark/amaechi if he remains in PDP

edo.girl:
I always thought all the APC needed to do was give us Buhari/Fashola, and 2015 was done. Since I don't listen to what most of these discredited 'Christian leaders' say, I am certainly not one Christian that would be misled into believing a Christian must be part of the ticket.

But looking at it again, a Buhari/Amaechi doesn't sound bad. Nothing to do with religion, but I think a lot of people in other regions wouldn't mind this combo. Amaechi has won and continues to win sympathies as a victimised, yet strong personality.

Anything to get rid of the PDP. Anything!

Psylas: what happens to Rochas that left APGA for APC so no sit for him? Abi him no dey qualifyd, well i pity him

edo.girl:


Thanks. I do contribute, but in the past few months people have become so angry and abusive about anything and anybody they disagree with that I prefer to watch from the sidelines most times. It is a very intimidating environment now.

On Okorocha...I agree that if APC wins Anambra, that will be a major breakthrough for the party in the SE, and will increase the likelihood of an Igbo VP. All in all, I think the Buhari/Fashola combination will edge it at the end of the day.

cashkid_is_back: anybody running wit buhari as mate wont win a single vote in d SE/SS especially in d SE.igbos wil vote massively for gej in 2015..evn if buhari runs rochas,igbos wont gv him their votes
