With presidential polls two weeks away, a Nigerian author explains why she is supporting Muhammadu Buhari – a man who brought great suffering to her family Possibly the worst year of my life was 1984.

Wow. I commend you and your father for this unusual gesture to let go grievances and sentiments for the redemption of Nigeria. The clamor against the present leadership's inept government by Nigerians from all zones of the country irrespective of their social class strata is unprecedented. Lesson: may hay when the sun shines to forestall running around when the moon comes. The crashing programme by the FG to hurriedly please Nigerians may be too late! 2 Likes |

Only slaves and children of slaves can campaign (passionately) for their former oppressors. Sadly, I've only noticed this among Yoruba supporters of Buhari. You will never see Ekuweme's, Ambrose Ali's or Umaru Dikko's children campaign for Buhari. Yoruba ronu o...your people have been bewitched by the broom. My opinion. 2 Likes |

The other day, an Ogedengbe said that" though he killed my father, I will still vote for him". You begin to wonder, are you truly the son of your father? 2 Likes |

[s] publisher:[/s] On what grounds do you have to call them slaves because they don't share the same myopic and idiotic reasoning like you? These are people who have clearly put the well-being of Nigeria (over 170 million people) above their personal grievances and I respect them for that. This comment by this lady should put out a clear signal to all of you who intend to create chaos when Jonathan gets whipped at the polls this month that Nigerians want change irrespective of any previous grievances they held with Buhari. It also points out the fact that any ugly head that gets raised when Jonathan gets kicked out from Aso Rock, be it Asari DUMBkubo, Tompolo and any other useless group that deems it fit to create chaos, they shall all be cut off in no time because Nigeria is bigger than you all. 3 Likes 1 Share |

What a wonderful lady. She epitomises all that is encapsulated in the adage "to err is human to forgive divine". Buhari is not perfect and I will never attempt to hold brief for him in relation to everything that happened in his first coming as our head of State. What is now clear to decent Nigerians,above everything else, is that Buhari ,unlike GEJ and other PDP leaders over the past 16 years, genuinely means well for all Nigerians and will do everything in his power to make our Nation work for ordinary Nigerians. I salute this patriotic lady. She is everything a progressive nation can want her citizens to be. |

Marotzke: Is it not his prerogative to forgive and move on? Why are you bitter, judgemental and angry about the choice others are entitled to make which does not concern you? Do you know what the chap has had to endure courtesy of a Nigeria that has been misruled by GEJ and others? Is it not better he optimistically focuses on what can still be a bright future for him, his children and generations unborn instead of allowing himself to be consumed by hatred for others and an obsession with 24/7 vendetta against them as some Nigerians do fruitlessly ? 1 Like |

Smart007i: This is how people like him have being programmed to think. They can never rise above the the fraudulent, hateful and vendetta-driven indoctrination others used to forge their persona right from birth. If only they can learn from this woman and others who have been coming out to put aside personal anger against Buhari to side with change that will favour what is best for 170 million people. |

waternogeteneny: And you are another child of hate brought up to forever seek vengenace against others. You may have been raised with "chop sand syndrome" which ensures you seek revenge and harbour hatred in your heart for others 24/7, yet you need to understand that Nigeria, and indeed the world, is not full of your kind alone. It is 100% the prerogative of the lady to move on from her personal grief and side with what is best for 170 million people. This is a confirmation of her decency and goodness of spirit. That you and others are incapable of this does not mean you should insult those who choose this noble path when you should actually be learning from them. 3 Likes |
