What makes Pat Utomi a 'no-hoper' and Shekarau a 'hoper'?

ndu_chucks:

All I have to say is that, Nigeria can do better than the crop of people who want to become president in 2011. Our system is worse than rotten if out of all the talent we have in our great country, these  debaters and GEJ are the only options we have.

Having said that, SAI BUHARI    

Unfortunately, that is the state of Nigeria. At this point, only candidates such as Ribadu and Buhari who can tackle corruption firstly should win this election. It is better to have a president who tackles the main issue (corruption) and is even bad at some policies than have a president whose only purpose is to go about bribing everyone with the country's reserves just to stay in power.

Genbuhari3:

thanks you mentioned the future because Ribadu's temperament I witnessed yesterday is not read for a complex Nigeria yet. he needs to learn his lesson. you cannot be so arrogant to say you have worked with the federal government and international organisations hence you are more capable than someone wo has led the most populous state in this country for 8 years!

It is only in Nigeria we deem those who are cockily confident and assured as "arrogant" . Have you ever listened to Che Guevera , Fidel Castro , Patrice Lumumba , Jerry Rawlings et al ? If Ribadu is pointing to his International achievement and exposure, what is wrong with that? If Ribadu indicates that folks in his age bracket are doing well politically , what is wrong with that? It is important to note that , out of office , Ribadu voluntarily chose to keep improving himself proffessionally and working towards gaining more leadership efficacy , through the aqcuisition of specialist skills, rather than embracing full-time lucrative private employment . When politics was over , did Okonjo-Iweala and Ezekwesili not go back into lucrative private sector employment ?   Do we want another introverted leader like Yar Adua ? Do we want leaders me and you have far more exposure than ? Do we want leaders who are not up to speed with modern leadership skills? Or do we want someone like Ribadu who voluntarily , while in exile, begged the USA not to give up on helping Nigeria in its fights ? While in exile , and even if he would have profitted from ridiculing the waziri led EFCC , Ribadu was actually lobbying the US and Western Government to help Nigeria in our fight against corruption by imploring them to do their bit on their end i.e investigate their citizens who encourage graft in Nigeria and Africa (e.g Halliburton, Seimens, Wilbros , etc).

You don't see Statesmen , worldwide , resting on their laurels as those we have in Nigeria do. Atiku, IBB , Gusau and Buhari all nurse Presidential ambition . Tell me what those folks have done out of office in comparision to Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter  and even former President Kufour of Ghana . Dele Momodu too wants to be President yet what was he doing , other than "chasing the dollar"  like every other 'hungryman' , to advance the cause of our nation when he had no political power? Please look at what Ribadu has done in[b] exile [/b] , and out of public office , to understand a man whose focus is the progress of his nation. I argue that the natural course of genuine statesmen , beyond office and if health permits , should be philantrophy and political endeavour that improve humanity. Lets not fool ourselves . Buhari fails woefully in this respect. His name commands goodwill in the North and we can all wonder why ,  Buhari  , if he still has the strenght and focus ,  has not been associated with many leadership initiatives out of office like his peers throughout the world. you guys should begin to see the big picture because when you point a finger accusing others the other finger points back at you.

What makes Pat Utomi a 'no-hoper' and Shekarau a 'hoper'?

Shekarau record as governor of Kano was nothing worthwhile and he only has one state; besides, he was at the debate. Utomi is perhaps the most qualified candidate but he doesn't really have a base. Lets get real, he has no chance. I would have an Utomi to provide Vision after two terms of a corruption tackler. Just my opinion.

Rantings rantings rantings-- firstly I was in primary 4 while Buhari came into power, is PDP made up of masked men, aren't they Nigerians just like you are, is CPC not composed of the same men who once called the shots in PDP, are they better off in terms of leadership, a party that couldn't even uphold its own constitution has the moral right to attack PDP, a party (CPC) that couldn't even obey the wishes of its majority in choosing a candidate doesn't have any right to castigate PDP, if Buhari couldn't accomplish anything in 20 months while ruling with executive fiats, are you expecting a miracle from GEJ that has to pass through the bottlenecks of legislation to get a bill approved, apart from the few months he held sway as governor in office GEJ has never been in a position to called the shots in governance so I wonder where you got the * GEJ has been in Government for 12 years*, and as for your bayelsa figures--- please support that with proof,
A man is pronounced guilty by a law court before you call him that, I wonder where you get your stories of the minister of health admitting to taking bribe, is that a figment of your imagination or what ?, Please do not ever compare the drug war in mexico to Nigeria, even MEND nor BOKO HARAM is not as brazen as them, since you so uninformed their are currently prosecutions going on in the haalliburton scandal-- even affecting an aide of OBJ who you guys are quick to charge runs the government, every company involved paid in one form or the other and most are on probations. so please before ranting next time---- check facts.

Don't call people uninformed because you are not aware of certain things
http://thenationonlineng.net/web3/news/27605.html
Your reaction diminishes your argument. The drug dealers in Mexico are brazen and deadly (even killing babies) but a determined and responsible government is taking them on. That is why they are fighting viciously
But what is Jonathan doing with our own criminals? - waiting for them to become brazen. Lives of Nigerians are being lost! So what is he doing?
concocting text messages to score political points (from a national calamity) against Dokpesi or granting him amnesty for joining his side
Yes, when was the last time Ogbulafor was in court - trial is going on. Harliburton? - trial is going on. Siemens? - trial is going on
The issue of trial is going on was so abused such that Nwodo who was never absolved of the ID card scandal replaced another awaiting trial - Ogbulafor
Presidents demonstrate authority when people go to jail. But they perpetually await trial, it means the president is blackmailing them to for political support
Jonathan only moves swiftly when his personal interest is threatened -  CF Ogbulafor and Nwodo

How long did it take Yaradua to jail Bode George. Within 3.5 years,  Bode George was charged, sentenced, went to jail for 2 years and is back - happy and in high spirits over that rewarding and useful experience
So what were Jonathan men doing at Bode George's party? Sorry, I am ranting

So what part of CPC constitution was flouted?
so what part of the PDP constitution was upheld in Bode George's partying issue, Daniel/Obasanjo case, folarin who was granted special bail and flown to Abuja in presidential jet to vote for Jonathan. Ogbulafor was asked to resign to face trial. A man already in detention was given bail to vote at primaries

how come there were/are two deputy governors in Bauchi and Bayelsa states? upholding of PDP constitution, aren't they?
PDP is the only party in Nigeria that has forced a state legislature to reverse an impeachment (of Ekpenyong in A Ibom) state - an act not known to the the national constitution

Jonathan has to wade through legislature - do you know in that time - the constitution has been amended, electoral act has been amended at least 2 times. The N6.3b budget for SIM card registration was passed even though most legislators were opposed to it
If there is a will, it has been demonstrated, it can be done. Jonathan is not interested

Buhari did not do anything? He stopped the haemorrhage. Nigeria was broke then and he was paying off debts. Anyway  how come people remember him so well - at least we know him for building refineries when there was money
Oga Jonathan has been busy drawing down excess crude account in his first year. Creating a modern presidential fleet to rival the airforce
Government borrowing will now be project-tied, he promised but the bond announced after that does not have project tied to it
N15b spent on independence anniverssary - 1day jamboree; but budgeting N50b for youth employment.

Nothing wrong with arrogance (as long as its not too much) in a leader and it is almost essential for anyone who wants to lead Nigerians as the typical Nigeria is arrogant when in a position of power.

Indeed . Very insightful logic. I have argued that Duke, Fashola and Utomi would probably make better Presidents than Ribadu and Buhari . Nonetheless , those guys can produce their work after folks like Ribadu and Buhari have had time , even if only four years , to do 'groundwork' . It is no coincidence that Buhari and Ribadu are reknowned for fighting corruption . One was a disciplined Army officer while the other (Ribadu) was a police Office and lawyer Femi Falana described as the only law enforcement officer he has known in 25 years not to accept a bribe from anyone.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuCahk_YVLs

I outrightly reject your arrogant dismissal of Ribadu's achievements . If anything Ribadu is the one that deserves the most chance out of those running. Buhari and GEJ have led Nigeria with supreme executive power. In our system , where power is concentrated inordinately in the Presidency/head of State , we can agree that Buhari and GEJ , with supreme power,  have had , by far , the best chance to impress Nigerians . GEJ and Shekarau both served as Governors . Shekarau has been a Governor for 8 years. We all knows how powerful Governors are . We know the changes they are capable of delivering if the will is there . In comparison to Fashola , Chime and Amaechi we can only conclude , on the evidence before Nigerians , that GEJ and Shekarau were mediocre as Governors of Bayelsa and Kano respectively .

I think some folks would conclude that Ribadu has real potentials because of the success he recorded despite the restraint he had to work with. Let us not go off tangent . I don't think any Nairalander can agree with you that Shekarau and GEJ are not mediocre if we actually inspect their roles in positions where they had real and unrestrained power to make a difference. GEJ has been Deputy Governor, Governor , Vice President and now President . We have seen nothing exemplary from him in all those positions . We all could do with more history lessons because there is ignorance of the record of Ribadu. How many folks know that Ribadu's efficacy in office began even before he worked for OBJ? Listen to hardtalk below ( fast forward to the 7 minutes mark) to note that Ribadu was an achiever and a performer even before he ever worked for OBJ. The man has never been mediocre in any role in his past . That is the best evidence he will not be mediocre in future either.

Does being a crime fighter give you the administrative edge to control a diverse polity such as Nigeria, do we need an unstable character who speaks with both sides of the mouth when it affects him, He spread the news of going after patience jonathan and later recanted it-- now we are seeing him deny Tinubu's corruption saga,like I said earlier Ribadu's success or failure can be judged from which side of the fence your sitting during OBJ's tenure, when your in-charge you got a lot of things to deal with, leadership of a country doesn't just lie with outlining policies and with the twinkle of an eye they are done, ask Obama we all see how congress is frustrating his policies, GEJ never served as governor for 8 years so there is no basis of comparing him with Shekarau, to be very honest with ourselves , What can a deputy governor really do in Nigeria, can he veto the decisions of his boss without being seen as not loyal, GEJ has spent less time in the saddle of leadership than what Buhari held and has more challenges in governance than Buhari but he has also tried in going forward, Buhari ruled with fiats and decrees, GEJ has the national assembly to deal with in pushing ahead with his policies, in my earlier post i gave reasons also why GEJ's policies were better off compared to buhari, as for Ribadu he hasn't yet been there before so i'd leave his policies aside, but I don't think having a shot for the presidency is just having the toga of being a crime-buster.

Finally. Would try to find time to watch it today.

Ribadu's response on the Tinubu question is less than impressive and unconvincing. Buhari's opening statement wasn't bad at all, he came across meek and humble, stopping when he was asked to stop. Good choice of moderator, direct questions and no unecessary phony accent.

Ribadu is being a tad alarmist. Not saying the conspiracies he suggests have no truth to them, far from it, but he seems to highlight what we know without really focusing as much passion and energy on solutions. Buhari's response to the Niger Delta was a tad worrisome, he might see the issue a bit more simplistic than it actually is and seems to be suggesting focusing more on stifling dissent than solving the problems of the people. That in its way can be productive if such zeal is put towards holding oil companies more to account. Ultimately he come across as sincere but I think he might need a strong VP (like was the case before), and to be honest Bakare might have zeal, but I don't know about direction. Shekarau seemed to have more of a handle on the Niger Delta issue and understood it more (I like the idea of focusing on developing communities rather than "sitting down with militants"). Ribadu raised some points but ultimately his responses seemed good sounding, but vague and full of mere rhetoric. Ribadu has a good VP though. Caught a glimpse of the Vice Presidential debate and would prefer Adeola presidency to a Ribadu one actually LOL.

Ribadu was strong on power. He is right, who one earth is charge of our power situation? A simple restructuring can improve efficiency. Good solid point made. Hands down the best on power. Shekarau was vague.

Will finish whenever the other parts are uploaded.

If u missed the debate, it's showing NOW on NN24

mehn, Ribadu came out as the worst amongst the three. . . .  I will definitely vote for Shekerau if I'm to be in Nigeria during the presidential elections,

BUHARI'S CLOSING STATEMENT
Fellow Nigerians, you need a leadership that you can trust, that will lead this country for the next 4 years.
We know the situation we are in now, you know the situation we are headin to if we follow the advise
President Obama said when he visited Ghana. He said that developing countries need strong institutions
rather than strong personalities.
In Nigeria we need both, we need strong people to resuscitate the institutions and make them strong
APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE
Thank you very much,
(MODERATOR: General Buhari you have got a min left do you want to use it.
BUHARI(contd)
What I am saying is that this multi party democracy has given Nigerians the power to choose their
leadership and change them at will. So it is up to them to have the courage to choose people
and ensure that their votes count.
When we say people should go and register, which we hope they have, they should go and vote.
And make sure that their votes count. Then they give the opportunity for whatever leadership
they have chosen to perform or not to perform,

I didn't watch the debate but if this is Buhari's closing remark then he clearly knows the basic thing Nigeria needs, Strong institutions.

Ideas are great and Bakare has great ideas, I think bakare will trump Shekarau any day when it comes to ideas, so if it is about the leadership team then Buhari + Bakare is the clear winner, Bakare with the great ideas, Buhari with the fundamental idea and the integrity and will power to deliver.


For everyone who thinks Buhari does not have what it takes in intellectual capacity to rule Nigeria my response is yes Buhari alone does not have what it takes in terms of intellectual capacity but he has demonstrated (in choosing Bakare as his vice) that even though he doesn't have the brains, he can get the brains to do the job.

Leadership is not just about having intellectual capacity, It is about delivering results through other people.

Please Vote Buhari + Bakare, Vote for Change!!! Nigeria needs you!!!

Gbawe!

I can see your passion for Ribadu, but to cut our discussion short, if you think Buhari and Ribadu are what the country needs to tackle corruption, who among the 2 has a better chance against Jonathan in this election? Do you think if Buhari drops dead today (God forbid), I will not vote for Ribadu? I will definitely place him over Jonathan!

Even Bola Tinubu knows Buhari's massive appeal in the north coupled with zoning sentiments will do the magic. But your man will not just accept that! and that is my headache!

I went for the best chance of having a change! And Buhari, with our little votes here and there (it could have been a block vote from south west if Ribadu is not in the picture) and the block votes in North West and North East can do the magic.

Some people might say why not Buhari endorsing Ribadu. Well, Endorsing something with your brand is completely different in owning the brand. Buhari Brand is not transferable at the National Level. An average Northerner will always scream 'Sai Buhari Sai Nigeria'

May I use the opportunity to call on Nigerian youth who do not want to mortgage their future to vote wisely come April. Honestly, any rational mind will no doubt choose BB as they represent the desired change that is long over due.

From wikileak's most influential Nigerians, Buhari appeared on Number 29 with this description

29. (C) Former Head of State Muhammadu Buhari: The new and improved Buhari showed principled positions on anti-corruption and electoral issues which earned him reasonable grassroots support in north during the last election.

Thanks SkyBlue for the youtube link of the presidential debate

For those who know Buhari, he was never a man of eloquence/coherent sentence or talkative, he is and always has been a man of action, and action is what we need now. Hence, I am not at all disappointed, but impressed  with his performance at the debate.

We are not voting the VP in, and clearly when people go out to vote, they are casting their vote for Buhari, and nor Bakare per se.

and talking about intellect, it is obvious that John Oyegun can match Bakare, skill for skill, rhetoric for rhetoric and definetelly idea for idea. So in terms of ability to deliver, ANPP would seem to be the right choice, as Shekarau is clearly miles ahead of Buhari.

ribadu just exhibited his gross inexperience in governance. shakarau showed good competence and a honest approach to governance, but does he have what it takes to muscle his principles through our long decay system? buhari might not b an orator but he has what it takes to checkmate to a reasonable extent our primary political, economical and social problem `CORRUPTION`.

Gbawe;,  I really understand your point of view and if only Nigerians could think in that direction it would have been better for this nation, it is off no doubt to me that ribadu is the best man for the job and not that buhari is not also good but can he govern this modern world and just as you wrote what has buhari been doing after he left the office, my fear about buhari is that if he come to office we might end up with another Yaradua, a man with goodwill, good intention but lack technical know-how on how to move the nation forward.
 The only reason why i want every Nigerians to vote for Buhari is to push PDP out of office, buhari seems to be gaining more weight of all the opposition parties, he seems to have more chance of winning if we all come together, it is of no doubt that buhari as a president is better than PDP government.

i cant believe that people actually want BB. A Bakare as Vp would evntually resign> What nigeria  needs is  peace reforms(continuation of privatisation, cut on goverment size)infrastructural devpt(power education and agriculture)

BB wudnt bring those changes< Buhari is a sincere man though but he doesnt have the temprament to rule us as a democrat> these were the same flaws OBj had , though till date i stand to be corrected but his goverment esp 2nd term onwards sailed us through the right path. then along came yaradua with all the policy reversals>I have to point here that yaradua took us back but its sad that Gej hasnt moved us forward, but there is hope.

as earlier highlited we need peace ine the Nigerdelta, he has given us that, we dont need three yrs of policy reversals and i dont think buharis govt would be small, dont know if he believes in privatisation> another plus for Gej is that he listens, talk is cheap, Bakare is a catch, Ribadu is inexperienced though i believe n him too, but lets face facts. What has shekaru done in Kano, take a trip there and u would know what i mean>>>>Obama sweeped the worls withe rhetorical flourishes, go and check his popularity rating today.

 Gej campaign team and advisers have been a mishap, but @ this point if there is no peace in niger delta, our earnings would dwindle, investors wouldnt come, he has held forth over trying periods and he would do so, he needs to shakeup his team and  implement reforms.

as it stand nw only pdp has a widespread reach, though cpc is strong in the north and at this point in our election history no one else has enjoyed as much goodwill as Gej.

Stranger, I dont get ur point,
U should be living a million KM from Kano to talk like this.

SHAKARA-U tormented Xtians terribly using his Sharia Enforcement group, he denied churches of C-of-Os making them have to lie that they r building a residential building b4 they are given. Most of them who cant lie will wait forever.
When he started nursing the Presidential idea, he began to make an Igbo, a Kogi man, and so on to become Special advisers to give a good impression. Also, he will not and CANNOT win Kano as tCPC and PDP are the leading contenders for the sole of Kano.

Buhari has managed Billions of our Money in different capacity, yet he cannot be charged by EFCC or ICPC. Kano governor who won kano twice on Buhari's fame who now wants to contest against him simply because as a Principal, he is experienced orator. If it comes to oration, Shekarau cannot stand with Bakare who is experienced in that.

Sanctimonious, you cannot believe what? I am not a bot and I will vote BB! Do you believe that now? i believe dayokanu, genbuhari, opalu, maple etc will vote BB! Or are they not people
And please save us those elementary predictions. Abacha cannot rule this country for 6 months, so we were assured. Obasanjo is the best hope for the country - he has been president and he has been in jail and close to being executed. Did he not become a despot? Gani Fawehinmi should go to the senate (and what will David Mark say - Chief, I rule you out of order, Gbamm, the ayes have it!)

Stop lying, it is Yaradua that came up with the amnesty programme. Even after Jonathan surprisingly became VP, the militancy did not stop. His house was bombed.

I am facing facts. None of you have accepted responsibility for GEJ's 11 years in office. He was just a powerless deputy governor, he was powerless VP, now as president - he needs time, he needs to navigate the national assembly blah blah
Obama popularity rating is not a function of lack of efforts, but rather being held accountable for the effects of 2 inherited wars and global financial crisis that broke in 2008 before he became president
It is strange that you are now distancing Jonathan from Obama. Last year - GEJ, armed with teleprompter - was Obama of Africa

We really should not mistake eloquence for good understanding of the problem or providing solution to it. When Ribadu was asked what he feels about the educational system of Nigeria, all he did was blab! He said that he believes the educational system is bad but talked on educational policies, e talked about d infrastructure, 26percent of d budget going 2 education and the likes, these are all policies and not solution 2 d said bad system. The general on d oda hand said it all, dat nothing is wrong with the educational system which is 6-3-3-4 but everything is wrong with the policies in place, which is the provision of infrastructure, training of lectures etc. The general said a lot in a little way. Ribadu won't probe the $12billion dollars spent on power by d pdp but move on, on second thought did he not consider dat there could be some constraints why the 12billion did not work and not embezzlement, the General on the oda hand, would find out so as to avoid such mistakes, Bravo to the General, vote BB for change,

Yea, Vote BB for change come April,  We cant continue with this 'backward improvement' lol
