And what will you be reminding me come April?

Whoever heard of a political party or movement without an ideology? We have played the[b] "try your luck"[/b] game in Nigeria with various clueless leaders in the past and ended up on a journey to nowhere. Thank goodness for GEJ.

For Bakare's info, politics without ideology is like reading the map for the fastest route to chaos, despondency, poverty, developmental inertia and societal anaemia.
Out of ideology springs focus, direction and effective strategy.

Bakare might be a good social critic, but in the political field, he is already displaying an alarming emptiness.

@Beaf

At last, we are about to get somewhere besides/without depending on good or mere 'luck' in your good judgement but on good/sound 'idealogy' , perhaps like the PDP .

Pls are you privy to the 'ideology' of any of the political Parties in Nigeria most importantly the ruling PDP? If you do, pls publicise/share some of their earth shaking wisdom/excepts with us. Thanks in advance.

The PDP is a party that promotes free enterprise, and privatisation as solution to the problems facing the Nation, they can be compared to the Republicans, this is very similar to the action congress thou Buhari has expressed a more socialist view

How is PDP comparable to republicans?

How is ACN comparable to republicans? (I thought that what little political ideology ACN has is left leaning, anyways)

What socialist views does Buhari have?




@ topic, Bakare seems like someone with integrity, interesting.

@ migos 2 Jonathan is a good candidate for now for the simple fact that he is a fresh face and good transitional figure to real democracy. We need to contine to pray

@ kobojunkie That's stupidity and backwards thinkng. You should look @ candidates. There can still be one good apple even if the whole tree is bad

^^^ What the heck are you talking about?

With all these unbelievable comments and unnecessary insult against one another, i tend to wonder if our rulers are really the problem or we that are being ruled, I'm thinking its more of the latter, Its pretty obvious, isn't it?

I really dont know why we are all arguing.this is very simple. To Gej supporters since ur guy became the president,what has he done 4 the growth n development of this Nation? For the past 12years this PDP thieves have been stealing our money,see its time for change,lets stop deceiving ourselves.GEJ doesnt have the brain to lead our forward

Buhari must become presidend for better future of nigeria.

PDP is a good Party with wonderful ideologies, but corrupted by egocentric and bad leadership. Cleanup the PDP and every ills will be corrected. Seriously, does anyone believe that Bakare can win election for Buhari, no way. Buhari has been able to pick a Radical Pastor who garnered popularity in voicing the Y'Aradua saga, but activist dont make good leaders. They are better critics and correctors.

Let's see what happens

God, please disgrace anyone who wants to sabotage this country by letting the best hand win this election in respective of any rigging.

Beaf f u c k you. Peeps at sexuality are more intelligent than You.

na wa ooooo

I am actually surprised that we expect a nation such as Nigeria to be ruled based on luck (trial and error). GEJ is just one lucky dude that has achieved alot (politically), not necessarily because he his best qualified.

Can anyone point to his direction/achievement (in one year), that he should deserve a four year term.

What Nigeria need is a positive change.It goes beyond sectional politics and religion.I believe it is time for all hands to be on deck in bringing this desired change to Nigeria/Nigerians.So if Pastor Bakare feel he can come in at this time to contribute his own quota and in the capacity of a VP, i think he should be left alone to do what he want to do.Support him if you wish to.Leave Him alone if you feel otherwise

@nosa2

Did you mean 'lootocracy' or something akin to animal farm
Republicans?? where?

This is for all those people with the sharia issue.

It will surprise you to know that Buhari’s driver is a Christian and he has been with him for more than 10 years- Tunde bakare

at poster your topic has nothing to do with body

I swear I love this Kobojunkie girl!  Thumbs up jare. Your head is very very correct!  I think I will now hang out in politics more often. The religion board [s](maybe the only other intelligent board here)[/s] is almost dead nowadays anyway

To the topic,

I was going to vote for Ribadu but Bakare now in the mix with Buhari tips the scale for me. Why is this? Ribadu's intended VP is relatively unknown : which enshrouds the plan somewhat, compared with this CPC duo.

Bakare and Buhari are intelligent and pro-active extroverts who have demonstrated abilities to make things happen - which is something Nigeria needs at this time (we don't need introverted Yaradua's and GEJ's at this time, no offence). Besides their temperament, they have proven to be people of integrity, and they have people to answer to (I believe. . .) whom they won't be able to disappoint by turning coat when in position. With GEJ, he answers to the very same filth that has been in power for 12 years. [s]It doesn't help matters that Bakare was allegedly recently offered some money by GEJ to buy him over.[/s]

Come on! This is the time to look beyond your personal [/b]bias - whatever it is!! Even if you are a die-hard PDP fan, maybe it's time to vote for persons and not parties. Just maybe.

Meanwhile, if there will be a debate I might take the day off to see it  [b]Flogging toh bahd. Please don't ask who will do the flogging. LOL.

@ kobojunkie; You had mention PDP in an earlier comment. It's not about PDP it's about candidates. Look at candidates.

One thing, that one cannot take away from Buhari, is the fact that he is a stunch Igbo hater and a religious fundamentalist, Nigeria don't need such a leader.
when he was the chairman of PTF under the late General Abacha, it is on record that Buhari refused to work on any road in the south east, this angered many easterners.

Those who think that Buhari has any chance of winning are just dreaming, somebody that has no political structure and his party is not even known by 99% of Nigerians.
He will still fail again.

Please provide some proof. TIA

Vanunu, you're full of faeces!

though the blocs may have been collapsed,no more western or eastern divides. also time has really moved, true. but under a global economy time is ticking with greater intensity as economic viability,prosperity and advantages permits decisiveness in policy making.

Ideology is a set of well thoughtout ideas to attain the social contract entered into with govern because power is held in trust in a common destiny.

Principles are set of guilded rules provided for and adopted

Policy is a statement of ideas stating plan of action to be  pursued and adopted out of which arose party politics of leftists,rightists and center. within a party, the Rightists believes in maintaining the tradition and conservatism,they favour capitalism. the Leftists believes there should be new changes, that economic power should with the community or government known as socialist. social democrats are set of people who seek moderate policy advocating greater individual freedom than socialist and is termed Center.Someone should remind Bakere that.

Lets take a journey into the relevance of the man Gen. Mohamodu Buhari. when he was young has head of state, he overthrew the democratically elected government of Pres. Shehu Shagari with the claim that corruption was at an alarming rate so the need to stampped it out and started a sectarian persecution,western leadership and frontline politicians were persecuted while northern leaders were seen as secred cows on a mission to savage the nation. not even Pres. Shagari whose tenure was labelled corrupt by the populace was arrested for once, rather he enriched the north to the detriment of the other regions and imported contrabands by proxies. it is not even news that  the popular leader known to be running the state was Idiagbon.he drew up the economic policy at the time and saw to its execution to the latter so, his name was constantly on the lips all so also history reckons. The late Gen. Sani Abacha reintroduced him to the polity with his appointment to head the Petroleum Trust Fund. trust the man with dented image, he never saw anything he did wrong to the nation and continued where he left off he made funds available to projects cited in the north and starve southern projects of the same fund.i saw the inscription of PTF only on school desks no capital projects seen in the whole warri the heart of south-south.he has a share of under-development of the region.
Buhari was and his still a failure,a nit-wit without a deposit of a bit of any intelligence in him such a failure is looking to gain relevance so wants to catch in on the credibility of a preacher to redeem himself the preacher should be wary of him and the masses too. we cannot afford to place our common destinies in the hands of a dumb head, looser!.

@ kobojunkie; You had mention PDP in an earlier comment. It's not about PDP it's about candidates. Look at candidates.

At the national level, there is no such thing as a mere candidate. When you vote in a President, you not only vote in the candidate but the party. So I don't understand what you mean when you say it's not the PDP, it's about the candidate.

Especially when the person is a puppets with criminals surrounding him, what can he do when Aonadoaka, Anenih, Atiku, OBJ, Alams are his mentors?

I don't trust these "men of god". Period.

Oh Why oh why? Why is Pastor TB moving so fast within a period of months? From the pulpit to an activist to a full-blown politician? We are still adjusting to the first move and like a body blow this second move is following so rapidly. Something just dont feel right? I could understand if it was pastor Kris since he has been there for some time now but Pastor TB, SMH. Could he not have remained the conscience of the nation instead of throwing his hat in the ring? Those who go to fetch ant-infested gays should not be surprised if they get lizzard-visitors. If however God really sent him to enter politics this way, I wager that it is just to prepare him for a future role because realistically speaking, he and Buhari can not do much in April.
