I could almost feel a pain in his voice when he spoke

PapiWata:


It is good to note that you are happy nursing the delusions that bring you comfort, even as the Nigerian people prepare to send the Weeping General Bokko Hari back to election losers' court of futile appeal, for the 23rd time in a row.

Your astute observation that the Weeping General sounds "pained" is noteworthy, since yet more of that pain and anguish is packaged and ready for delivery on February 14th 2015, whereupon the usual entertaining performance of wailing and sobbing will be expected from Boko Hari, when the electorate votes unanimously to reject the mass-murdering geriatric old fart on whom you have pinned such a dead weight of unattainable hopes and expectations.

Thank you ever so much, sir, for sharing these fascinating details of your hallucinatory episodes, and please do feel free to keep us abreast of any other unattainable ambitions that you might continue to nurse, even as reality dawns and your terror gang leader is shown the door to the septic tank of history, by Nigeria's very enlightened electorate.

I know Buhari means well for Nigeria and Nigerians

Good job by GMB. I would have loved to see him in a debate with Jonathan. There is no doubt in my mind that Jonathan stands no chance against Buhari in a debate. Buhari has leadership skills written all over him. His poise and charisma is second to non. Buhari cannot be compared with Jonathan in every aspect of life. Jonathan would never had become a president in 200 years if he wasn't chosen by Obasanjo to run with Yar'Adua. Jonathan is an accidental president. He had absolutely no intention or leadership skill for the seat of presidency. People like Jonathan are born to follow.

Whoever advised Buhari to stay away from Channels debate has taken away extra 4% points he would gain from debating Jonathan. Standing side by side with Jonathan alone would have shown who the boss is.........

its amazing how someone can be this analytic & at the same time, empty upstairs.

You've been utterly, irrevocably, unapologetically brainwashed.

Buhari, leadership skills. For where?

I've got more leadership skills in my little toe than that septuagenarian has in his entire aged anatomy.

As for the OP, someone has already put you in your place.

Keep up with whatever you're smoking. You'll need it in large doses by Feb15th

God bless you. I still can't believe he pulled out of the debate...... APC have not gotten to power, they are already arrogant.

Be ready to cry starting from Febuhari 14 night.

Feb 14th is barely two weeks away. Let's see who would weep by then

From my point of view, the Buhari handlers know they are far ahead of Jonathan in their internal polls. This is the reason why they are getting cocky and they don't see why they should give room for an error. This is a case of playing safe. They are running a flawless campaign.

On the other hand, the Jonathan camp needs this debate and it is showing from far away that Jonathan camp is desperate for a gotcha moment. Conventional wisdom tells me Buhari camp knows more than what we know. There was intelligence report last week that Jonathan was given questions ahead of debate. Someone from Jonathan camp leaked it to Buhari campaign organization. Jonathan camp is filled with mole from APC. I still believe FFK is in Jonathan camp to hurt him. An intelligent person should know that FFK brings nothing positive to GEJ's campaign other than to hurt him. Feelers say OBJ planted FFK in Jonathan's camp and I don't have a single reason to doubt it.

GMB MEANS BUSINESS.

I was opportune to listen to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari this morning at State House, Marina, Lagos state. It was a business section tagged ‘GMB MEANS BUSINESS.’

Apologies. I didn’t attend as a paparazzi, hence the lack of photographs and a selfie with the man himself. Also, this is not the place to drop names.

The small venue was filled to capacity as expected, and I was certain the audience was expectant.

Posted below are my personal views of General Muhammadu Buhari, the man whom I heard, for the very first time at close quarters.

The man Buhari whom I heard spoke today is a man that has a mission.

I could almost feel a pain in his voice when he spoke of the issues that have plighted the talented country, Nigeria for decades. You could almost say, he felt sorry for the country.

There was a conviction in his voice and demeanour. His body language was expressive of a man focused on one thing, to put Nigeria on the global ladder of respect. You could feel it.

When he read out the prepared speech, which was monotone a-times, he informed his audience when he had completed the speech. He gently went into the pocket of his flowing ‘babariga’ to produce his prepared hand written note and went on to give a scintillating delivery of his plans for the country – which I would’t bother you with.

At that point, he was better poised and at his best.

He was natural, at ease. No airs about him. I didn’t know he was also rich in humour. He is a very witty man. I see him represent Nigeria internationally with pride.

You know what, he commanded the audience. He had us all engaged.

He gave briefs on how Nigeria fought the civil war and didn’t have to borrow a kobo.

He mentioned how, when he was in charge, refineries were built.

He gave a veiled warning to ‘briefcase contractors’ who mill around Abuja. ” If you know your capacity is N100m, don’t go bidding for a N1 billion contract” he jokingly announced. Joke, I think not.

He also had a warning for civil servants. ‘Anyone engaged in corruption is on his own and will only have himself to blame’ he said, without joking this time.

If truth be written, I was extremely impressed listening to him live.

He engaged an audience of business men and women, and that alone speaks volume.

About seven questions were asked (limited due to lack of time as he was expected today in Adamawa for a campaign rally), and he confidently stood to answer all to the best of his abilities.

He charmed us with his humble charisma.

He got an ovation at the end of his speech.

Finally, in answering a question on continuity of governance, should he become the next elected President, he went on to give an analogy of someone standing on cliff edge. He pointed out that, if the man on the cliff edge chose to continue, what awaits him would be a long painful fall. Hence, he would not continue on that path. He however pointed out that continuity on good projects is good, while he would not be a part of a continuation of bad projects.

BUHARI LIVE – How Impressed was I ?

Very!

His campaign speeches and the manners he conducted himself when ruling party, behaving like opposition, start throwing missiles onto him from all directions envied me. Campaign speeches of GEJ were full of bickers which unpresidentially.

You are very right, I heard from someone who works with Doyin Okupe and he was very worried about Jonathans chances. He says the govt is seriously considering shifting the election

He admitted that the video they released to AIT and NTA didnt perform as much as they hoped. Their initial analysis was that it was going to be a game changer but the opinion he is getting from the populace isnt matching the projections

FastShipping:



The AIT poll was to gauge the effect of the so called documentary but disappointment is what they got afterwards. They thought the documentary was going to do a damage to Buhari's popularity but they failed woefully. The documentary has helped Buhari tremendously.

raumdeuter:


The argument in the presidency is that the only achievement Jonathan can point to is electoral reform and that would be badly dented if they shift the election

He stopped short of conceding defeat. In Politics when you have the advantage you keep things steady and dont do anything that might tilt the advantage. Thats what the APC camp is playing. In a debate Jonathan would go swinging fist flying buy some media people to throw Buhari off track and try to get electoral capital from that from the APC being very smart people saw through that

Its desperate times for Jonathan now
