Majority of Nigerians have very short memory. After all the nonsense Buhari did during the military era, some fools still have intention of supporting him! Now I know that truly, a fool is born every minute in Nigeria. 12 Likes 1 Share |

After reading so much of it I scrolled down only to realize it was a 2007 article. A lot of water has passed under the bridge between then and now. Nigerians have had all sorts of experiences. Circumstances and priorities have changed. And as a result of all that, opinions and allegiances have shifted dramatically. E.g. El-rufai, FFK, OBJ. I want to hear what the Prof has to say today. 2 Likes |

Now, this is an EDUCATED AND WELL-INFORMED, WESTERNER writing. His NOBEL prize was not earned in vain! Sai WOLE!!!!! [size=20pt]The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive.[/size] History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order. BINGO!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ592KLHyzM [size=20pt]OLISA BI N'IGWE!!!!! ODUGWU N'AGHA DIKE N'AGHA BU LU HALLELUJAH!!!! OBATOBIE!!![/size] 4 Likes |

A GEJ supporter told me to go and hug transformer because I corrected and enlightened him more about the state of the Nation, since the media admin for Support Jonathan has now reason so low for using Gov. Fashola of Lag and Gov. Kwakwaso of Kano's developmental project pictures as Jonathan's achievement for the past 6years, and since yesterday I've been hugging the transformer but there hasn't been power till now.... hehehe...one of the failures of GEJ...#iHaveDecideToVoteForBuhariOsibanjo# 2 Likes |

■When President Olusegun Obasanjo was in power we spent 300 billion per year on the fuel subsidy. Under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan it shot up to 1.3 trillion naira in the last one year alone. ▶Can someone please explain to me how it got so high in 4 years and what exactly they were subsidising with the extra one trillion naira? ■When the Obasanjo government left power in 2007 the country was no longer in debt and the 30 billion dollar foreign debt that Obasanjo met when he came to power in 1999 was fully paid off. Today, under the administration of Jonathan, our country is back in debt to the tune of 41 billion dollars (both foreign and domestic) and we are still borrowing. ▶Can someone please tell me what the loans were used for and whether we will ever be able to pay them off? ■Foreign reserve nko? # Depleted . ▶Can someone please tell me where all the money went? ■When the Obasanjo administration left power in 2007 23 billion dollars was left in the Excess Crude Account after he built it up from nothing in 1999. Today we do not have one dollar left in that account because the money has been squandered and the account scrapped. ▶Can someone explain to me who spent that money and precisely what it was spent on? ▶▶Can someone please tell me precisely what has happened to this man Jonathan and what has got into his head? This government is not only # weak, it not only lacks # direction but it is also # insensitive and #callous . ▶President Jonathan, the King #Rehoabam of our time, has hardened his heart unto # destruction , just like Pharaoh once did, and he has fallen into the trap that has been set for him by God and by his enemies. May the Lord save Nigeria from this # mess and from this weak man and may the Nigerian people themselves # WakeUP from their # accursed # slumber and take their destiny into their own hands. ▶The smell of religious war, sectarian violence, regional and ethnic conflict, insecurity, untold suffering, rampant poverty and economic hardship is in the air. Nigerians are divided as never before and our country is slowly crumbling and dying before our very eyes. ●Who will save Nigeria? ●Who will stand up and say enough is enough? ●Who will pull us back from the brink? ●Who can we count on to take the bull by the horns and do the right thing? ▶▶ There must be a lawful and democratic # change. My God let there be a change. . . .--(Amen) ---FEMI FANI-KAYODE, Former aviation minister & # current media/publicity director of President Jonathan's campaign org. And all # reasonable Nigerians shall say # AMEEENNNNNN ! # Fact # RealityOnGround # ThinkNigeria # RiseAboveDECEPTION . # ThereWasFFK .

Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. - Wole Soyinka This Article was written in 2007 and I believe both Soyinka and Buhari have changed over time. |

Thank God, Professor Soyinka has PhD. Too bad he does pass through the simplicity of words to express himself. In that he failed woefully in expression. |
