even new York too na anti-GEJ??

yeah that is the gospel truth.That is the power of incumbency. GEJ wont let go of of power just as Buhari wudnt do if he was in his shoe.Power is sweet but quite lethal.

Old story... We all know that

I wish they can postpone it again.

New York times is finally controlled by APC

Was it no d same APC that wr shouting that the election should be postponed? ?
They said APC folk wr not given PVC

Now election postponed dy are saying its PDP plan to rig

All opposition must be silenced

The newspaper, which has won 114 Pulitzer Prizes, further stated that Jonathan appeared to be afraid of the increasing popularity of Buhari, who most Nigerians would likely vote for.

Sadly that's the truth
That's why we keep having the rumours of the proposal for interim government which the outburst of Ruben Abati, FFK and the assistant to Ruben also give credit to by the words they spoke that
"They would not handover to an illiterate" and "OBJ want to lead the interim government".

I just hope the elections won't be postponed again.

Of course na... we know this

No detailed revelation of intelligence on what Nigerians don't know rather the usual molue and beer parlour gossips in and around Nigeria.

From what we now know, can any reasonable analyst tell us that INEC was actually ready?

JEGA and INEC weren't ready in all ramifications and this postponement has offered them the needed time to give Nigerians a resemblance of free, fair and credible election.

When the west start developing interest in you, they've got a plan- most likely a plan to pull you down. Nigeria beware

haibe:
What concerns new York with us sef? Are they trying to make buhari president by all means because of their selfish interest, ? I smell something fishy

Crisis in Nigeria= high oil prices=high prices at the local New York Petrol station+Higher Public transport prices.

Yes....we all live in a globalized world. By the time I am an old man, I probably would be commuting by air from my house in Lokoja to my job in Los Angeles via the New Supersonic Link Craft! At the age of 130years....

Or the average American does not want to be paying high oil prices at the pump that crisis in Nigeria brings.

Plus....Nigerian Newspapers routinely report on American, and foreign affairs. That does not mean they want to bring the American govt down.!

bushdoc9919:
Not exactly....although he should have let them go ahead.

The sad thing is GEJ may have postponed the elections driven by the Nigerian desire that if our son does not win....there will be trouble.

You know....when Buhari made the assertion about two animals...what he really meant was that elections in Nigeria have to be free and fair. The trouble is,......most Nigerians define a free and fair election as one in which their tribesman wins. And this 2015 election is shaping up to be that kind of election.

Sometimes, I think Nigerians do not deserve democracy. Maybe a Tito-like dictator, or even a Park Chung hee type dictator might be better.....until we learn to value democracy well. Yes....we have not been under autocratic rule long enough to value democracy. Which is why Niger Delta Militants and Northern Hegomonists feel comfortable chanting for war...as if war is a fun game played on Playstation 3.

Ultimately we have to get off oil....and work for our money.

Still on your opinion, i feel sometimes that sub-saharan Africa isn't really ready for democracy. Have you also checked out how Africa's biggest democracies are faring recently? Take a look at what happened in South Africa and Kenya in the past few weeks. I believe Nigeria is one of the worst democracies in Africa, only followed by Kenya!

datguru:
No Gej, No Nigeria! Buhari cannot and will not rule a united Nigeria. If you still want a one Nigeria, vote GEJ

Who released you from your cage

Boko haram...... what did Nigeria do to deserve all these. May the so called yusuf that form this group never see rest

ok

Nigeria’s Miserable Choices

The Nigerian government was supposed to hold presidential elections this past weekend, which presented voters with the dispiriting choice of keeping a lousy incumbent or returning to power a former autocratic leader. Now they will have to wait at least six weeks to cast votes.

The Nigerian election commission said earlier this month that it had pushed back the vote until at least March 28, after the country’s security chiefs warned that they could not guarantee the safety of voters in northeastern areas of the country where Boko Haram, the extremist militant group, captured international attention last spring when it abducted hundreds of schoolgirls. On Friday, Boko Haram fighters attacked a village in neighboring Chad for the first time, an alarming sign of the group’s expanding strength in a region that also includes areas of Cameroon and Niger.

Any argument to delay the vote might be more credible if President Goodluck Jonathan’s government had not spent much of the past year playing down the threat posed by the militants and if there were a reasonable expectation that the country’s weak has the ability to improve security in a matter of weeks.

It appears more likely Mr. Jonathan grew alarmed by the surging appeal of Muhammadu Buhari, a former military ruler who has vowed to crack down on Boko Haram. By dragging out the race, Mr. Jonathan stands to deplete his rival’s campaign coffers, while he continues to use state funds and institutions to bankroll his own.

That Mr. Buhari, who helped launch a coup against a democratically elected government in 1983 and ruled until late 1985, has emerged as potential winner is more of an indictment of Mr. Jonathan’s dismal rule than a recognition of the former military chief’s appeal.

Nigerian voters have grown increasingly worried about the stunning rise of Boko Haram, which has committed terrorist atrocities including bombings.

The abductions and attacks by the group have exposed the weaknesses of Nigeria’s armed forces and the dysfunction of the government. Although Mr. Jonathan’s government has in the past been less than enthusiastic, and at times obstructive, in response to offers of American and European aid, he appears to be growing increasingly worried. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, he said he would welcome American troops to fight the insurgency.

Beyond security matters, entrenched corruption and the government’s inability to diversify its economy as the price of oil, the country’s financial bedrock, has fallen have also caused Nigerians to look for new leadership. Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, and a relatively young democracy, cannot afford an electoral crisis. That would only set back the faltering effort to reassert government control in districts where Boko Haram is sowing terror. The security forces may not be able to safeguard many districts on Election Day. But postponement is very likely to make the security threat worse.

Yes indeed,if you vote for backward Buhari,you're by extention voting for boko-haram.

A fruit never falls too far from its mother tree.

It's obvious that GEJ masterminded d postponement of the elections. And he says he doesn't know abt it. Wat will it cost FG to declare 2 working days to enable qualified electorates to collect their PVC?

New York times look right in their assumption

Bifwoli:

That's dumb reasoning.

Buhari would be a better choice to combat Boko Haram.

Ah....South Africa is in trouble. And Kenya....just like Nigeria(except no army coup).

I guess we can have a democracy if people stop thinking that the road to development lies with their tribesman or woman, or their tribal ally getting The Job No 1 in the capital....the leadership. That is why we created states here in Nigeria...to bring development closer to the people. But states in Nigeria have failed....because if they had not, some of thise people shouting GEJ till 2015 or 2019...would have been shouting at their state governors instead.

The clueless Niger delta born flawlessly dealing with bokoohari since d time inmmorial


GEJ till Tinubu destroys his APC membership card.

I can't completely buy into this but it probably has an atom of truth. Soldiers roaring at bh now are getting me confused, and for the govt promising wiping these guys in few weeks has me dumbfounded. War that has been on for 6 years and from the top claims of ending it in weeks. Maybe really this administration did nothing in 6 years to that effect that has consumed thousands of life.

The events Pre-February 14 shows the drum of war sounding very loud and the discerning minds understand we are on our way to a major setback.

The security reports are unfavourable, the electorates are ggoing to be disenfranchised and whoever wins with a margin less than the number of PVCs uncollected will approach the courts for annulment which will pass easily with over 20 Million voters disenfranchised.

The 6 weeks has helped the fabrics of the country to be well mended while we will possibly have elections between brothers this time around and not Arch-rivals.


Whoever wins #Godwins
