robinsoncrosoe:
What I hav learnt from this stoning is dat......m

Northerners especially the northern muslims are barbarians,intolerant fools and always there to be used as violent tools.this is the major reason boko thrieves there.

When buhari came to the south,he was left to do his campaign.we would hav stoned him.bt the religion in the south(christianity) and the peaceful nature of southerners stopped dat from happening.

Most northerners are illiterates so they are easy tools for violence
Northern fools,stop stoning people coz this can start a war.

Your comment would have been much more powerful without the generalisation and insults. We must try to speak our minds without allowing emotions to render our thought process weak.

Some of your comments are very valid. Your anger is felt by many. But please let's try to be civil and be different from those who are hell bent on destroying our country. Lets not become part of the problem.

God bless you bro.

E no go better for you and your family for quoting me and typing this nonsense. Calling GEJ is not an insult...its his official title.

Stealing is not corruption my ass!!! Useless dumbo. Both you and all his other supporters that has benefited immensely from his corrupt tenure will soon be locked up so start preparing. If you quote me again, you will die before the end of today

His whole media team are well known tribalists and religious bigots and GEJ does nothing to caution them. That means he is the one that sent them to spew those divisive ethnic and religious rantings to the media.

In this recent PDP campaign trail, sambo was quoted to have said that since professor Yemi Osibanjo is a pastor, muslims and northerners in general should not vote for APC.

Sorry, still does not really show evidence that GEJ encouraged ethnic rifts in Nigeria (the country that is already extremely tribal and religiously challenged). Nigerians do that all on their own.

I did hear of someone supposedly telling people that muslims should only vote for muslims, at some point, but can't remember who that was, but certainly was not Sambo....lol

I'd like to see the original quote attributed to Sambo. To me, how can he have actually said that, when he is asking people to vote for a Christian GEJ, as their president?

To be honest with you, there is nothing tribalist about GEJ......there just isn't and your original claim against him, attributing tribalism to him, is totally unfounded imho.

Even the fact that you were unable to attribute a tribalist statement to him, is actually evidence that even you are aware that he is not a tribalist.

I pray we survive this and the aftermath of this. We have been divided along religious and ethnic lines; it's so frightening. On my way back from work the other day, I saw truck loads of belongings with luxurious buses leaving town; along with their owners. Most Igbos and Southerners have left the North. Who would blame them? It's crazy in my office too. A place where you would think ordinarily we should rise above religion and vote for who we believe in. The other day, a colleague I respect and admire accused me of supporting Jonathan cos am a Christian. He is a Muslim. I was very disappointed and made sure he knew it even though he subsequently apologised, the damage had already been done. I have reasons why I defend this government and it is not religious. Unfortunately, that is the position we have found ourselves in today. Most people are supporting either GMB or GEJ cos of religion.

I haven't been to the East or the South since the campaigns opened but a poster with Jonathan's picture doesn't last one full day in most Northern states. It is quickly torn to shreds. Inshort, it is even dangerous to openly declare your allegiance to him. Some of these PDP governors are not even campaigning for him. The Governor of Niger state is running for Senate and his lacky; Nasko for Governor. Their billboards don't carry their Presidential candidate's picture. Unlike that of the APC where you would find Buhari's picture on most of their aspirants billboards and posters found the state.

That is why I have consistently said that Buhari's certificate issue is of no consequence. Especially to a die hard Northerner who doesn't even care if Buhari attended Creche. All he knows is that the man is one of us and a Muslim.

I belong to the PDP mind, body and soul. And for any true member of that party (not the jobless trolls on Nairaland) FFK is doing a very bad job at that campaign HQ. Surely he can do more than continously over flogging an issue that is of no Consequence just to justify his pay, while alienating Jonathan more in these parts.

Still, this country is bigger than all of us. A Democrat or a Republican, when it comes down to it will tell you we are Americans first. The APC are not shouting on TV like those thugs from the South (whom I believe Jonathan should call to order) but, people are being intimated and harassed in the North and the APC must call their members too to order. We wouldn't want a repeat of the post election violence in 2011.

We should be careful though. I belong to the PDP. My brother would rather see change in the APC. It doesn't mean we are suddenly enemies. If this country eventually goes up in flames, we would wish we did things differently. But it would be darn too late.

same thing here with me. My moslem colleagues accused me religious sentiments when I told them Buhari was not my candidate. They even got so hostile, I couldn't believe they were the people I work with everyday! It was disheartening! One even went as far as telling me, if you think u are brave repeat what you said here outside and see what will happen to you! I'm already packed and ready to leave. Buhari and his rogues are not humans at all. Even Sambo himself is not helping GEJ( who is not my candidate anyway). Why should he tell people not to vote Buhari, because Osinbajo has more the 50 churches? These guys just hate christians. They are the ones killing, maiming and destroying, yet they keep pointing fingers when sane people speak out against such. May GOD help us.

dragan:


Really ? the Hausa people chanting 'Sai Buhari' will vote GEJ?

That's the stupidest thing I've read all day!

Majority, i said... no specifications as to ethnicity. ... you mentioned hausa. ... now who sounds dumb?

Its high time we Southerns n Middlebelterns realise dat we nid 2 stand behind our own GEJ.These stoning incidents in d north against Jonas convoy,shows d devilish desperation of d northern oligarchy.BUHARI is never the change we need we knw his antecedents.He is a tyrant and BOKOHARAM sympatiser.If u ask me i wud say instead of CHANGE i wud rather prefer a REVOLUTION.Remember the Devil u knw is far better than Angel in wolves clothing.Jona may nt be perfect,but we must nt allow the Northern oligarchy to assume power again

That serves him right. He is a disobedient child. He should thank God they only chased him out.
Vote GEJ
Vote PDP

Ironically this your post sounds very divisive and likely to make people distrustful and fearful of each other.

People from the South may simply be going home to get their PVCs and vote, but you have chosen to put a sinister spin on it.

Political posters are torn down and shredded in all areas of the country and indeed the world where the party on the poster are very unpopular.

Hw did GEJ start it?Buhari n Tinubu hv always been d ones inciting their blood thisty supporters against innocent law abiding citizens.

So are you saying INEC are only issuing PVCs to PDP supporters?

If so that is rigging and may result in APC forming their threatened parallel government

ibisko04:

Thanks for your frankly talk. I have two things to comment on from your write up. Number one - About Nigeria being polarized along ethnic and religious lines. This 2015 presidential election is not polarised as such.
BUHARI followership cut across Nigeria and Nigerians. Jonathan also have his supporters everywhere in Nigeria.
It's just obvious that majority of the people are supporting Buhari this time around.
Number two is about FFK. Fani Kayode is a misfit in this PDP presidential campaign. Fani is the biggest problems creator for Jonathan presently.
His office as director of communication PCO of PDP supposed to be for the dissemination of what Jonathan government has archived and going archive if voted for again.
Fani Kayode has not address any issue apart from BUHARI qualification since the beginning of this campaign.
You can see that FFK is the one calling for trouble on behalf of Jonathan.

Anti PDP comment.

Who is your candidate?
What are there chances of winning?

Don't agree that not voting for Buhari is more a less a vote for the incumbent GEJ?

So question is what is preventing you voting Buhari?

These same northern states used to be the stronghold for PDP, now that they making a different choice makes them barbarian - what a classy shallow brainaird you be self?

Pls dnt confuse issues here.Note that PDP will win d governorship election in most northern state.PDP stil has his stronghold in d north.But d issue here is dat dere is a growing conspiracy againsta southern candidate in d person of GEJ.The north are desperate to perpetuate a northern agenda by fire by force.The north is unanimoursly united in support of BUHARI inspite of all his shortcomings.So i dnt see any reason why we in d south n middlebelt shld nt toe d same line.GEJ is nt perfect, bt we nid to unite solidly behind him.Say no to d northern oligarchy!

Oh Please! The people in the crowd were Hausa and hence why the PDP politicians spoke to them 'IN HAUSA'.

So question is what is preventing you voting Buhari?

ur question should be what is preventing me from voting for any of the so called candidates, and not just for Buhari. But then, none of the fielded candidates appeals to me. Hope that answers ur question.

Oga, they have pvc


Even all the abokis in my estate here have pvc

Northerners have their radios and PVC s, even the ten wives in a Harem in purdah have PVC s. It is not looking good fir Jona. Everything comes to an end. He should prepare for defeat. The man can never win in the north he is too local and parochial. All he talks about in a pedantic and boring manner is fertilizers and Almajiri schools which is very annoying to the average northerners. I have worked with many northern professionals, many of my engineering lecturers in the 1980s were northerners. If you carry an image inserted into your mind of a rustic undeveloped north you will not connect with them as President.

2morrow they will cook up stories that it is pdp supporters that stoned Gej.

These guys are not smart. If I were Jonathan I would brainwashed and converted the Buhari crowd that stormed the rally to join party.

Afterall there is power in the tongue
