Evil Brain:


Yes that sums it up: Buhari is a bad public speaker, and Jonathan is worse.

BTW, I'm not the only Buhari supporter that admits the guy has flaws. In fact most people I've spoken to aren't so much pro-Buhari as anti-PDP. I've said before that even if the General had red eyes and horns on his head, he'll still be better that any of the worthless thieves in the ruling party including Jonathan.

agabaI23:

Not when >80% of his party members are from the PDP.

CPC is PDP in disguise with a dictator as there leader. That makes it.

Did you see the internal wrangling we saw in PDP at the beginning?  That was the hallmark of most CPC primaries.

BTW way the worthless thieves include : Abba Ruma, CPC financier who stole Agric fund, Marwa, who was the arrowhead of Abacha's money laundering machinery, Abacha's son, Achike Udenwa who rendered Ino state impotent. . . should I continue?
You have no case!
About speaking, you believe what you want to believe but we know the truth including you.

I think Buhari supporters overdo the "tears" thing. Its about politics and direction, not near religious love.

There is nothing soft or huggable about the man, neither is there any humility in him.
He might be sincere, but so is a man running at tearaway speed toward a cliff edge, because he believes there is enough gold at the end of the route to keep his family warm, secure and well fed.

The bottomline is, does the man understand the modern World? Is he sophisticated enough to operate skillfully in both social and international circles? Does he have the diplomacy a Nigerian president requires? Is he bigoted in any way? Does he have the skills to cope with questions and solutions about our federal architecture?
All the above questions are bigger than mere humility and sincerity. Looking back at his decree's (especially decree's 2 and 4) Buhari plainly lacks every tool for the modern World.

gernded:

Him picking Tunde Bakary is just a waste of time.

he thought he will buy Christian mind and to also change his religious intolerance but far from that.


and Tunde Bakary was a born Islam so is simple as muslim muslim ticket no way.

[size=18pt]AGABA123, AFTER READING THIS THREAD, I DISCOVERED THAT YOU ARE A HUGE MUGU GO AND TELL YOUR PAYMASTERS THAT YOU COULD NOT BEWITCH THE INTELLIGENT NAIRALANDERS WITH YOUR YAHOO-YAHOO TACTICS TO ORDINARY DEBATE. [/size]

Guidedee:

I don't listen to people like agaba123, ozin etc. Sheer hatred for Buhari is always obvious in their posts. Well I don't expect good things from CORRUPT BRAINS like theirs. Beaf is sometimes diplomatic in his own critisms, he do raise some pertinent questions and points when he argues but that doesn't and can't change me from being a BB supporter. Buhari/Bakare is the divine intervention we need in Nigeria. Everyday we call on God to save us, but are we ready to allow Him? These are two sincere men of God, I'm not saying they are saints but they are the best available for now. If Buhari can live with christians he employed and doesn't jeopardise their rights, why call him religion extremist? Apart from destroying corruption, BB will build peaceful co-existence between muslims and christians and by extension to other religions in this country. I want the best for my children and myself. Let's make Nigeria a better place to live and together we'll make it the best. Long live Nigeria, No life corruption. BB all the way! 08187751747, 07030261319.

He (Buhari) is one of Nigeria's most popular politicians and is perceived as being more democratic than most of Nigeria's leading politicians. If he were to win, it would be a pretty good indication that the elections were indeed free, fair and crediblel. There would be a strong emphasis on attacking corruption and that would be quite popular."- John Campbell, Former US Ambassador to Nigeria

Ozin:

Na today! My friend we are not talking about sentiments and emotions here.Buhari who has been in Government for over 36 years right from when he helped in the coup of MM does not have anything to offer this great counry.He can not comprehend a simple question which is a statement of fact based on current evidence.This guy is an expired politician and just like an expired drug is dangerous to the Nigerian Health

alisigwe:

If all these allegations against buhari are true then i understand why wole soyinka despise him so much.why should i vote 4 someone so heartless?

From Agaba123:- Just accept that corruption is bad like we all know, but Nigeria will progress with corruption by the side.
Things like sectionalism, federal character, tribalism, mental laziness etc harm Nigeria more than corruption alone does.

@    Agaba123 . . . .  End of discussion to all Buhari fanatics . . . wonder why people are too myopic to see that corruption feeds and emanates from this . . repair the above points and corruption fizzles out without notice.

Baba Agaba123 . . . . Respect Jare .  .You dey yarn corfirma . . .

Since OBJ can cope, i think Gen. Mohammodu Buhari can do better

noblezone:

It is not about eloquence, it is about comprehesion.

If the man understood questions and was having problem with eloquence, I won't complain.

My problem is this: the old man (whether it is as a result of old age) was finding it difficult to understand simple questions at the first instance. So, the interviewer had to repeat questions for him.

Let us assume this man becomes President and is to be interviewed on the CNN:

Interviewer: Mr President, can you tell us how you are contending with the challenges of governing a multi ethnic and religious country like Nigeria.

Mr President: By my training in the Nigerian army, I am not tribal or religiuos in my approach to issues.
