Ozedy:
i have posted this before, To be frank and sincere GEJ has not performed maximally well, but not a total failure. But my concerned is, if Nigeria is talking of Change in this 21st century, then not Buhari. Ask me why if you cares. stamping out corruption is not enough to move a nation forward but it's a part of it. Buhari does not fit into this modern computer age. Nigeria is too sophisticated interns of intellectual for an Old man like Bohari. Buhari is only vast when it comes to Sharia and Islam and Nigeria as a circular Nation is not good for a man like him to govern. Technologically, Buhari will take us back to stone age, i learnt that he just open facebook and tweeter account just a month ago, and am not sure he has computer set. Not because he cannot afford it but, it will be of no use to him.(old school). Fellow Nigerian, we need leaders with visions, leaders that can give selfless service. A man cannot give what he don't have, Buhari don't have vision. We need people like Fashola, Oshiomole, Ribadu, Tambuwa, akpabio ETC. if they are not available for now let make do of GEJ at least for the next 4 years. half bread is better than none.

Rubbish from the same suspects from other side of the Niger. How old was Mandela when he became president. How is Prime Minister of India there now? Mugabe, Sirleaf, Bashir, Paul Biya, President of Eq. Guinea, and many more are still there today and in their 70s or 80s doing well for their countries.

Buhari looks more healthy that the drunkard from Oytuoke you all called president.

blasterman:


See the people u are taking as example lol

Mugabe: toilet paper has more value than zim dollars, even though they remove 3 zeros from their currency , it still as worthless as shit

Bashir: Are u joking

Paul Biya: Modern day mobutu, he entered cameroun presidency in 1982 (when Buhari was coupplotting) how he is still there is baffling. Cameroun as you know beat nigeria on many occasions to be named the most corrupt country in the world under Paul Biya Leadership (32 yrs)

President of Eq Guinea (Obiang): Another mobutu, generatons unborn will be swearing for him. His daughter is the richest woman in that country, his son who Obiang made Vice President is the biggest theif in africa. Recently FBI seized 30 millions dollars from him. A mansion in malibu california, Micheal Jackson glove (which he bought for 500000$), mutliple ferraris and brand new gulf stream jets.

This guy is looting the country blind and all the money the country is making


Now Mandela: MAndela is south africas equivalent of Gani Fawehinnmi and he was in jail for over 27 years . It is an insult to compare Buhari to Mandela, you cannot even compare Obasanjo and Mandela..

Mandela was fighting an apartheid racist govt in SA and he was arrested for treason.

modestdude:
If age should not be used as a yardstick or factor to judge competence, then why do we have retirement age in the civil service and the workforce as a whole? Old age and sense can only review the past but cannot fathom/comprehend the present or predict the future

Badgers14:
I was a big fan of Peter Obi when he was first elected governor and very disappointed on this statement.
As long as one has a good vision for his people, what does age have to do with good governance?? How old was good o NELSON MANDELA when he became the president of South Africa Ronald Reagan (USA)
Didn't Jonathan promise second Niger Bridge What happened, what does Mr. Obi have to say about that?
Just like they say, money talks bull$hit, who knows how many Ghana must go bag they gave him. Mr. Obi is just a sell out.

Rendition:
lmfaoooooo u seem too just be in ur state alone...dats ur own point of view tho as for me peter obi's points are totally pointless

PassingShot:
And who is Peter Obi?

exxell:
[b]After viewing the comments above, I can't but shudder for this country. Atimes, I wonder why our YORUBA BROTHERS and stupidity are like Banana and groundnut. Why do you guys like promoting Buhari and Tinubu as saviours of this country? People who are more interested in wresting powers from PDP rather than discuss how to form a unity government where the welfare of the masses who elected them should come first. In a sane country, Buhari should be an elder statesman now, giving advices to young politicians on how to run this country best.

Before Yall Hausa Malus and Yoruba bigots start shuting "Igbo Man this, or Igbo man that", try first of all to see reason in Peter Obi's ideas. Personally, I am an Igbo man from Anambra but that will not deter me from saying the truth devoid of sentiments. Yall keep on Comparing Mandela's age to Buhari's Age. Are you people stuppid? Are you aware that Mandela resorted to stay in prison rather than preach violence in the liberation cause of his people? But this was the same Buhari I watched in a clear video yesterday shouting "Halaka" in his election campaign. Immediately after the election, what happened? Even if you lost an election and it was prolly rigged, why not take your case to the courts? Why not resort to world court for justice? Why incite people to maim others because of ordinary presidency of a country and not even the world or the universe?

Yorubba People! Yorubba People!! Yorubba People!!! How many timess did I call you? This was the same way Ojukwu liberated Awolowo from prison and told him to declare Oduduwa republic. But the Young Man chickened out because of their ever eternal slave mentality!

Same way Babangida truncated Abiola's ambition while installing anarchy in this country in the person of Abacha.

NDI YORUBA, EMERE UNU OGWU? GINI MERE UNU JI DI NZUZU NKE UKWU? NDI HAUSA ERIRI UNU ERI?

Personally, I know Jonathan did not perform well as expected. But truth be told, THIS YOUNG MAN TRIED! Till I see a viable alternative to Jonathan, He will always have my vote or I void it entirely. A vote for Buhari is a vote of insensitivity to the plight of this nation. How can I vote a senile man like that when we have the likes of Fashola, Akpabio, Sullivan Chime, Peter Obi and other vibrant politicians in this country?

BUHARI IS NOT COMING TO RULE NIGERIA! THIS MAN IS COMING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS AND TROUBLES. YOU YORUBA folks should not be suprised when this Northern Cabals kill Osinbajo and elect an Hausa VP. Ndi Yoruba, you people should not work hard ok? Continue depending on government money to survive. While your so called enemies from the other side of the Niger continue to thrive in Business and industry.

Continue waiting for a government that will shut Igbo businesses like your brother Obasanjo did so that few Hausa like Dangote will gain immensely. Continue ok?

BUT COME 2015, JONATHAN IS GOING BACK TO ASO ROCK. BUHARI WILL LOOSE AGAIN! [/b]

Obi commended Buhari, who at 41, which was 31 years ago, staged a coup d’état and removed the democratically elected government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari and tried visibly to instil discipline and order in our society.

sufido123:
Peter Obi is correct. Buhari is already senile and this is why he claimed the military board has his certificates. He thinks that we are going to believe his fabricated storyline.

Vote GEJ until Buhari becomes younger! Buhari can't steal my youth and then steal my adult years too.

babadee1:


This is a nonsensical statement. So we shouldn't vote Jonathan out because of your transitional gap theory? What if this was his second term? When will you GEJ supporters start to campaign for your man based on his achievements after six years of ruling and leave all these excuses alone? Hasn't he done enough to campaign on since all this time?

lacum:

o boy if ur from d east u will know that work is ongoing as we speak on d second nigerbridge. Mr obi is correct. Go an check GEJ polices nost of them will not end in his tenure like d niger bridge, high speed trains, agriculture etc. That shows that he is d kind of man dat does not think of his own popularity but for d good of the country

LRNZH:


You totally missed his point.

The topic under consideration is age.
All other things being equal, he us telling us that age does not matter. Maybe he should have used more commendable examples like Ronald Reagan. But Mandela is on his list.

Mind you, the topic is refering to 70 years being too old for leadership. Peter Obi got this one wrong.

Cuche:
In as much as I don't like Mr. Obi for claiming to be a Saint himself not to mention his sub standard project, I think he made some salient points in that address that is, APC' s choice of GMB is taking Nigerians for a ride.

I have listened to General Buhari talk on what he will do if elected; fight corruption, insurgency, stablize the economy, make Nigeria a Heaven on earth. But the "how" is what he failed to tell us, it is obvious that he is just talking like a typical politician. He cannot expatiate on any of his points
I am not holding brief for Mr Obi and whatever his intentions in that address were, Somebody that old in Aso Rock is not the best for Nigeria And he will get very little votes in the more enlightened South- East, West, South and North Central. There won't be elections in North East, no sensible person will queue up behind any box there

Orikinla:
[size=18pt]Peter Obi is actually intellectually reta-rded to make such an idiotic statement, because he is campaigning for President Goodluck Jonathan.
Some of the best performing current heads of state in Africa and the world are in their 80s and they are better leaders than President Jonathan and their countries are more stable than Nigeria. They include the following:
Girma Wolde-Giorgis, Ethiopian President, 88 years.
Giorgio Napolitalo, Italian President, 88 years.
Arthur Foulkes, The Bahamas' Governor General, 85 years.
Anerood Jugnauth, Prime Minister of Mauritius, 84 years.
Paul Biya, President of Cameroon, 81 years.[/size]
