CLASSES OF JONATHAN'S SUPPORTERS AND WHAT THEY FEAR ABOUT BUHARI


by

Timothy Nkenu Woma

(@timzy234)




Virtually everyone I have talked about the elections to agrees to a considerable extent that Nigeria needs a change and while majority of the Buhari supporters would vote for him because they believe in change, most of the “Jonathanians” support their candidate because he is to them, the “lesser devil” of the two major contestants.


Before I go any further, I would love to restate my neutrality in this election (refer to my last article; “2015 Elections: Confused At The Middle”). My neutrality is rooted in the constant war of words and my inability to find who is really lying between PDP and the APC.


There are three categories of “Jonathanians” and what they all fear about Buhari winning the elections. I have categorized the three classes of GEJ supporters and what they fear about Buhari. These three categories are: the (PDP) elites, lay supporters and the Asaris.
As regards the (PDP) elites, their major fear is that there would be a change in the modus operandi of the country’s governance. The PDP has built an empire since 1999 (probably way before) that would be prejudiced should Buhari win. Those (PDP elites) who are strongly convinced that Buhari would win have long decided to support Buhari in an attempt to be safe in the eventuality that their fear becomes reality; if the fear they have simply remains in their minds and does not actualize i.e. if Buhari does not win, all of them would come back to the PDP.


The next category is the lay supporter, most of who have been cajoled into believing the increasingly much propaganda against Buhari and have long learnt to embrace Jonathan as the saviour. To them, their fears are deep rooted in their belief of what Buhari would do if he wins; their fears spin around the several allegations made against Buhari i.e. Islamizing Nigeria, taking Nigeria back to the old archaic days of undemocratic leadership, dealing with personal enemies rather than focusing on governance etcetera. To them, as the adage says, “better the devil you know than the angel you don’t”. An additional fear of theirs is the caliber of some core Buhari backers and do not believe that any ‘change’ can occur with their kind as though they fail to see some of Jonathan’s backers.(Since I dey for middle, nothing concern me)


Last but the most ardent category of Jonathan’s supporters are the Asaris (of course you know where the name originates from); those that belief (and fear) that power should be based on region and religion and that Buhari’s would be “unfair” to them. They believe it’s their time and Buhari winning the elections would be robbing them of their “rights”. Being neutral, I must admit that Buhari also has this same set of supporters just that they’re lesser compared to Jonathan’s. I loathe this group of supporters (on both sides).
A very minute set of people support Jonathan because they believe he is the best candidate and please still remember that I remain neutral but realistic. So… see you at the polls.

How do you rate the IQ of a man that says that even if Buhari presents a toilet roll as a certificate that they will still vote for him and tomorrow some other person from another region will now use it as an excuse after all Buhari got it without a certificate why can't he?

BUHARI SHOW US YOUR CERTIFICATE OR PULL OVER

Timzy234:


Hahaha. At least I have grown in my "puberty" to be more realistic than you can ever be.

Truckpusher:
Trash of the century.

I bet you belong to the same Buhari fanatic supporters in the North and the same fanatic behavior is already affecting some of them here in NL.

Buhari is wasting his time and even if he wins he is still not eligible until he meets INEC simple requirement after all the last thing any man with integrity would have done was to release the damn certificate and shut everybody up for once and forever instead they were busy ridiculing themselves for more than two months now. How hard it is for a man with any integrity to present his credentials if the authenticity of his credentials are being questioned?

If Buhari is sure that his certificate is in intact let him come out and issue an official statement confirming the useless oluwole version you guys have been circulating online let him feel the wrath of the law

BUHARI SHOW US YOUR CERTIFICATE OR PULL OVER

ichidodo:
In your small teenage world, i guess.

Timzy234:


I guess Nairaland is "part of my world" lol.

Timzy234:

No wonder! A 16-year old is still a toddler and novice when Nigeria's political discuss is on the table. Apart from leaning the robe in conventional education, your IQ is still in the embryo stage and that alludes to why you're still under the tutelage of your parents and school teachers. However, avail yourself the luxury of the internet by googling Buhari's personal and political antecedents on your phone, I can assure you that his escapades will send jitters into your brain. What am I trying to bring across? Nobody, I repeat, nobody is afraid of Buhari. What gives Nigerians concerns about him is how Nigeria may return as a pariah stare if he returns as head of government. Buhari is a murderer, tribalist, fundamentalist (I know you'll want to dispute this, just take a short route of googling his numerous interviews and form your opinion), pretender, chameleon and above all, an uneducated tyrant. So, don't come here to preach the gospel of "fear", it exist only in your unconscious imagination.

It is you that has problems. You are ideologically empty and not open minded to understand the socio economic context that characterized Buhari's first coming. You are calling a sixteen year old immature yet you are far more shallow and lacking in originality of thinking than him.
When Buhari first came into power there was no globalization, internet was in infancy. First of all I want you to understand the sheer implications of this fact alone. There was no globalization then. Secondly the world was bi polar, the USSR was as strong as the US and their economic policy in their military and economic bloc was communism which had its own advantages and many supporters across the world.

Nigeria was non aligned and running a mixed economy which was neither communist nor capitalist and we were doing fine. In 1976 to 1985 we still had one od the world's highest economic growth rates. However there was prevalent corruption during the Shagari era, import license scams, contracts not implemented, drug smuggling, currency printing and so on. Some, people were even smuggling drugs by putting them inside dead babies. The Shagari government saddled Nigeria with a debt of $30bn at a time oil price was barely $35 a barrel, Nigeria's letters of credit was being rejected the world over and we could not buy anything. The western world wanted an immediate devaluation of currency by 300% and they were offering more loans to pay off loans. What responsible government was going to let all that go unchecked?. Most of the policies some uninformed people were blaming Bunari for were very common progressive amongst third world countries at the time include g China, India, Oman, South Korea and Japan that we are now praising now. Please open your mind, think deep and dont be an empty shallow sponge for all the information on the internet.
