I can't believe how DEBASED and RETROGRESSIVE certain Nigerian youths are. You mean to tell me that the same folks that keep screaming that " FASHOLA IS WORKING, HE'S THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO NIGERIA," are the same people clamoring for him to be a VP to Buhari?? Firstly, a VP, has no power. A VP, can't do NOTHING, other than going to represent his boss wherever they're commissioning projects.

A VP, can't influence his boss. Let me make it clear to you all, Buhari, just like other core muslim northerners, are SOCIALIST/ COMMUNIST oriented, the HATE/DESPISE capitalism, with passion. Fashola, on the other hand, is an educated Yourba man, meaning, he's a CAPITALIST and has become ELITIST. Basically, if they win the election, Fashola, will be CAGED, ( the north wouldn't want him to outshine his boss) and your disappointment will set in. Ask yourself, why Awolowo, was always clamoring for TRUE FEDERALISM and Northerners never liked him because of it.

Further, Obasanjo, destroyed and ridiculed Office of the VP, in Nigeria, when he was trying to stop Atiku, consequently, Jonathan, experienced so much RIDICULE and CONTEMPT from his boss, Yar'adua, remember how all that contempt manifested itself when Yar'adua, became sick/incapacitated and GEJ, punished those that rubbished him as VP then.

Again, as you expect magic, remember ,a VP, can only do what his boss asked him to do. Constitution doesn't know VP. Nobody remembers that Sambo or Joe Biden, exist, only when there's an official event in the seat of power you see them in video or camera and that's about it.

If you think Fashola, is that GREAT, why don't y'all clamor or pressurize APC to give him the presidential ticket? Or it's the turn of the Northerners?

If Buhari, and other Northerners in APC, sees Fashola, as a valuable performer that will appease the masses, then why can't they step down for the young man to take the "LAGOS REVOLUTION " to the federal level? If an ordinary muslim in the North can't accept and vote for a Fashola, then Nigeria's problem is BIGGER than you think and people are postponing the dooms day.

I expected the youths cheering up for Buhari, to point to one or two of his legacies that endeared him to them, none, rather, many are supporting Buhari, simply cos they want to see GEJ, leave, some are supporting cos APC, presented him or he will pick their kinsman as VP. It's a shame. If you wish to have great leader as president, there you have it in Fashola, because he has DONE/DOING things that people have witnessed. Buhari, on the other hand, was in office when majority of you weren't even born and if you talk about Buhari's legacies at PTF, there goes the big trouble because he is being accused of doing MAJORITY of his projects in the NORTH ( for his people).

If your thinking is that Buhari, will fight corruption, then you must be RETARDED or have no UNDERSTANDING of how democracy functions. Nigerian, JUDICIARY is a MESS, they will frustrate Buhari. The National Assembly, is the world HQ of corruption, imagine a house with the likes of David Mark, T.A Orji ( if he wins senate tho), Farouk Lawan, and you think they'll support LAWS and POLICIES that will send them to jail?

There's something called SEPARATION OF POWERS. Buhari, will need the LAWS to jail a corrupt politician. Why do you think Yar'dua used the " RULE OF LAW " mantra to shield his corrupt friends ( Ibori and ex-governors ) ? Buhari jailed corrupt politicians when he was a military leader, meaning, LAWLESSNESS was the order of the day. No checks and balances. His words are the law. In addition, Buhari, is hobnobbing with Obasanjo, Tinubu, and so many other rouges in APC, and you think he'll jail them simply because of you? Wake up folks!

All these years of LOSING ELECTIONS and being RIDICULED has changed Buhari. Buhari, has being compromised and he'll compromise in office. I mean, Buhari of OLD, will NEVER, EVER want to associate with Tinubu and Obasanjo, simply cos they're PLAIN ROGUES and he doesn't have patience for their ilk. Circumstances changes people.

To them that HATES GEJ, so badly, simply cos he's a southern/christian president, you better have your own kinsman to rule over your region, not Nigeria, with other ethnic groups, you can't rule over people that you have NOTHING in common with. Nigeria, of 21st century is different from the one of 60's. If you doubt me, ask why the coup plotters/sponsors in chief, refuse to sponsor one.

To them that think that GEJ, is not a good leader and they just want a GOOD and VISIONARY LEADERSHIP, I expected you to support someone better, a 21st century young fella, a FASHOLA/TAMBUWAL, vice versa, is more appealing on the global arena, then, if APC, can't present this two or think that these two young men can't win elections for them, then it's a reconfirmation of how much of a FAILURE that Nigeria is. Give these two young people the ticket and let them SQUARE IT OUT with GEJ, on the ballot box, then Nigerians, will decide. Whoever lose will go home and the wheel of govt. will continue moving. It's called DEMOCRACY and CIVILITY.

Finally, to them that just want anything to occupy ASO ROCK, as long as it's not GEJ, be careful what you wish for. Remember, how Egyptians, thought that Mubarak, was their problem? After he was kicked out, their eyes opened and they saw the DEVILS that Mubarak, kept in check, hence, anarchy was the order of the day. The same thing happened in Libya, after Gadafi, what next ? A nation in ruins, bombs and rockets dropping everywhere like water. Had I known comes at last.

GEJ, must not be the president, but fussing him out through bombing and social unrest, might bring the nation to its knees. Myself, I will like to see a VISIONARY, DETRIBILAIZED and 21st CENTURY ORIENTED Nigerian to defeat GEJ fairly at the pools and occupy aso rock.

FYI, it's not EASY and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to defeat an INCUMBENT Nigerian president. It's not just about Jonathan, it's the office itself and how Nigeria is presently structured

Wise words...

The only reason ppl want buhari over Jonathan
is selfishness."anybody but Jonathan"

You need to embrace reality. Politics is a game of number and you and I know that the opposition has no chance outside Buhari candidacy no matter the credentials of the person.

Buhari has his weakness but he's shoulder and head above GEJ. As such he's the only candidate that can bring the votes.

You came out too early. If you notice, serious and sane nairalanders are keeping quiet for now in order to allow our APC brothers who doesn't really know their left from their right to exhaust their foolery. Most of them are just too naive and ignorant about what is really going on. Gej is never the problem of Nigeria (infact, he is one of the best). The problem is, we don't have a nation yet. Some people believe it is their birth right to rule while some believe there is nothing wrong in their master- servant relationship as far as they are guaranteed the crumbs from the table. Some on the other hand, are calling for a level playing field and have decided to take their destinies in their hands. Can't wait for 2015

points well analysed .... am impressed , you will make a good political analyst

wake up and tell me what you think Buhari got over GEJ, bomb me with facts

Thnx! Politics is my passion and I analyze it from an objective point, unfortunately, most people misconstrued your criticism of Buhari as an acceptance of GEJ , no , nigeria can do better than two of them

Crap

Sai Buhari 2015-2019

Loser for life. Just like Buhari, U people have being SA-ing Buhari forever, yet he keep losing elections. Sai Buhari for Republic Northern Nigeria. That's where he belongs.

Providence may favour Fashola in event Buhari joins his ancestors before the expiration of 4 years term.

Who knows the mind of men or the will of God?

Undiluted fact,GEJ may not be the best,what i want Apc to do if they are serious it to give someone from the minority a chance,if they give an athaist from the minority a chance i will vote for him or her,I DONT WANT IGBO,HAUSA/FULANI,YORUBA,CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIM,they are the problem of this country

Ngwakwe:

Before then, what ? It's an INSULT to the great people of Nigeria, for someone to be clamoring for Buhari. When we have given the world some OUTSTANDING individuals, Iweala, Oby, Ribadu, Souldo, Fashola, Anyaoku, Duke, and lots of other Bright minds that littered Nigeria. Who in his rightful mind will be seeking for Buhari? He has integrity and that's about it. Imagine Americans clamoring for Senior Bush or Jimmy Carter to come back and rule them, ABERRATION!! GEJ, is not good, but is Buhari the best North, has to offer ? In reality, Buhari can NEVER win southern votes and northern votes alone can't make him president

There was nothing objective about your argument. We have not even tested Buhari, and you are talking about age and his consistent loss at the poll as a reason to believe that he has been compromised.

You are being subjective and tend to lean more towards GEJ.

Let not your heart be troubled, Ret Maj Gen Mohammadu Buhari can't be a democratic President in your lifetime.

Take my word, it is a seal

Nigeria has moved forward beyond koboko era. Who wants to receive 80 lashes in 21st century?

Ask your parents or older relatives that " TESTED Buhari, and you don't need to test Buhari, all you needed is/was his LEGACIES and that will speak for him, he doesn't need much campaign to win. Remember this, Buhari need to be voted by Nigerians , not Northern Muslims alone. What does he have to tell the Christian minorities in the North? I will NEVER EVER support GEJ, you know why? The same reason why I HATE & DESPISE Obasanjo, IBB, Danjuma, David mark and their ilk that looted the country dry. All I'm saying is, let a competent Nigerian slug it out with GEJ at the pooling booth and GEJ should not be bombed out of office or to use social unrest to remove him, that I don't support and it will destroy ( USA is not buying ur oil and check oil prices lately and if u add that to a Niger delta crisis, = famine& anarchy)the country, guess who will suffer? The poor & not the elites. I always support GEJ when the people that gave Nigeria the BIGGEST ROGUES AND FAILURES in Africa criticize GEJ , then I'll remi them that their kinsman was a FAILURE and stole public funds. SHAME ON HIM. HE IS A CURSE TO HUMANITY. IF OBASANJO AND CO LOVES NIGERIA AS THEY CLAIM, they will not steal from a country that they love

FYI, it's not EASY and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to defeat an INCUMBENT Nigerian president. It's not just about Jonathan, it's the office itself and how Nigeria is presently structured

Why not vote for your corrupt -Fedora-wearing thief, and allow APC to FAIL? Why stress yourself over what the opposition (which you are not part of anyway) does with who flies it's flag? I can smell fear all over your rants! My friend go and sit down!

Sai Buhari 2015-2019?

Their noise is even less now, than it was in 2011. Allow the Buhari almajiris make their noise, come Feb 16th, 2015, they will be crying and shouting rigging. As long none of them is anywhere close to me.. Na slap, I do take wake them from their stup1id dream.
