KnowAll:

[size=16pt]The new President of Zambia, the Soul of the masses in that country called “ King Cobra” is 74 years old and he has started doing a marvellous job in that country.

The main opposition in the DR Congo who is campaigning with a populist streak and most likely would be rigged against by Kabila is 78 years old. Doing the Maths in the  Congo, every indices points to this man winning being a “ Lingala Speaker”. Whilst the President is from East Congo and grew up in Tanzania, only learned the French language as an adult can neither speak Lingala or the local lingo in Kinhasa.

Kinhasa has 50% of all voters in that country obviously doing the Maths one does not need to be a soothsayer to know who would win the election in a free and fair election but for obvious reason we all know who would win. The opposition leader is 78 years old.

The new interim Prime Minister of Egypt appointed 3 days ago by the Army Generals in Egypt is 78 years old.

The President of Senegal is 81 years old and kicking doing some wonderful works in that country especially improving the infrastructures. You need to see the new roads built within the last 5 years in Senagal nothing like that in Naija are comparable.

The President of Angola is 78 years old ,  I don’t need to tell you this country currently is the fastest growing economy in Africa

The President of Ghana is 67 years, Ghana has the 3rd fastest growing economy in the world.

Mugabe is the only boogie man amongst this list of old men in power who is not pulling his weight

President Kibaki of Kenya is 80 years and his doing marvellously well. He is sorting out Al Shebab in Somalia,  and maybe in the next few months Somalia might be free from the clutches of Islamic extremism for the first time in 20 years.


There is no reasons why a 74 year old Buhari would not deliver because let us face it at his age it would be inconceivable of a man of his age to be misappropriating, what for?

Have we forgotten so soon what 36 year old Bankole did in the Hose of Assembly or young Fayose in Ekiti, or Young Ohakim in Imo State, or what Suswam is doing in Benue or even what young Goodluck is doing at Aso Rock.[/size]  undecided

Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by velo10: 10:40pm On Nov 28, 2011
I'm a Buhari supporter, fan and great admirer. However, I think campaigning for Buhari 2015 would be nothing more than a waste of funds cos he certainly would not win. His best time to win was this year which I believe was rigged or is there something called transparency in Nigeria. Buhari's age automatically disqualifies him. He should retire from active politics like that and become more like an influential elder statesman whom he already is.

[b][size=16pt]For Nigeria to be good?  Abeg, from which perspective should we analyse this 'Nigerian Goodness' you are preaching about,huh?  

And, which yardstick should we measure this goodness Buhari would bring to Nigeria?  Would it be based on Moslem values, Christian values or the Heathens (Unbelievers - Idol worshippers), eh? Obviously, you can't answer this, can you But hey, the Buhari you are preaching about, is he not the one that advocated barbaric measures in the last Election or another one  You see, we Nigerians we don't always forget o o, be warned!

Again, this goodness you are talking about - do you mean, destroying someone's life completely by cutting off their hands for stealing food due to hunger, scarcity and poverty that is created/imposed on Nigerians by the Northern elites in this Country, shame!!!  

To eat food and be alife is it not everyones first basic Human Right Yet, vulnerable Nigerians are deprived of this small pleasure by their own leaders instead, people are tormented and punished mercilessly, for any minute thing they stole out of lack and poverty, shame!!!

This is what you want Nigerians to support, nobe so o o?  Na lie for you!!!!! Nigerians can not support such evil!

We are here to help each other, our people needn't suffer as our Country is so, so, well BLEST but since those who felt it's their god given rights to destroy Nigeria have done their wickedness, we can only re-build our beautiful Country and wait for another generation of BASTARDS to stir-up their urgly heads and Nigeria, is waiting!

It is their greed and wickedness that kept our Country under-dveloped uptil now, and you're here preaching to us to continue in the same rot and stagnacy  Na lie for you!

Nigeria will never go back to 10th Century Feudal government/politics, alright?  Never!  Get it now and stop preaching as the guy you're advocating for has no clue where to take this Country to, or what lengths to take us to.  

For a Nigerian, the sky is the limit and this man can not take us to the sky, can he  He can only take us to what he knew, tried and supported as solutions to our problems and that is: Arm and leg cutting, of vulnerable poor Nigerians.huh? undecided undecided  

No thanks, he won't get in!  And not this time, have you tried 2098 undecided undecided undecided angry

I had thought that by now many of you have learnt their lesson, apparently it has'nt happened. Let me repeat it again, if elections are held between God and the devil, inspite of our church going the devil may win. Sadly we can shout and whine but do we really want a change? How many are willing to overlook luck and focus on the candidate who has clearly demostrated a capacity to effectively tackle corruption. In Nigeria we prefer luck to hardwork and love for country. For now Buhari remains my candidate.

I doubt if nigerians are ready yet to embrace change.
Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by simpleseyi: 6:07am On Nov 29, 2011
The only set of people regretting this Jona's administration are those voted for him. Those of us who did not vote for Jona did not expect anything good from him and he is just unperforming as expected. He is proving his critics right. For those who want young leaders, I think we should promote linguist Patience Jonathan for next president, after all Hilary Clinton almost made it. James Onanefe Ibori too for president after serving his jail term in U.K. Also Orji Uzor Kalu, Bank-Ole Dimeji, Salisu Buhari, Alao Akala, Lucky Igbinedion.

You aint seen nothing yet. I am definitely a Southerner but will never ever give my vote on the basis of tribe or religion. If you hate muslims/north  so much, then you can promote the president of CAN who is also a southerner as the next president after all Rev. Fr. Moses Adasu and Rev Jolly Iyame were governors  and we all know their records.

I have never believed in the one sided ideology of fighting corruption and promoting religious fanatism. Truly, Religion is the biggest disease and problem of mankind, worst than said corruption.

Religious crisis In Nigeria has done more harm and evil than said corruption. Have we forgotten the saying of some known northern elders and leaders who vowed to make this country ungovernable for GEJ because of failed zoning then, and they're rightly on it.

Because Buhari lost election, fellow dear humans including innocent lives, pregnant women, corpers lost there lives.

I would never quickly blame GEJ for anything, because time will tell. No mortal pass providence! See with your heart, and not the deceptive sayings and attitude of politrickians!

Having ignored his past attempts to drag me into one Kwara Political Group as well as his activities on Facebook, I don't take him seriously. Political neophytes and emergency activists clutch at all available straw to get attention.

Now, I am an unapologetic Buhari supporter and I spent my energy and resources working for him in the last elections. But, will I advise him to contest in 2015? I don't think so. Will I vote for him if he decides to contest? Definitely yes.

I can't agree with you more.  Buhari is reaching a point in his life where he needs to secure his legacy.  He needs to do something that will give Nigerians a lasting positive memory of him.  We must remember that 30% of Nigeria's electorate are fanatical supporters of Buhari.  They may not be enough to win an election but they are enough to provide gravitas to a younger politician who gets Buhari's endorsement. 


Here is a hypothetical scenario.  If PDP nominates an Igbo man in 2015 and ACN, CPC, and ANPP nominate Fashola, the election will be very close.  Northerners will be angry because PDP zoned them out and an endorsement from Buhari can seal the deal for Fashola.  If Buhari does this, Nigerians will remember him as the man who delivered the final blow that knocked out PDP.

Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by laoak2: 9:28am On Nov 29, 2011
Nigerians deserves the type of leaders we get, we act as if we know it all. We choose our leaders based on wrong reasons, why did we vote Jonathan in? who seems not to have any record of achiving anything ever in life, no record whatsoever, yet nigerians voted for him ( luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). The political structure in nigeria politics does not allow anyone to get to any position without going thru the Cabal, if you go thru the cabal, you must have lost your COINSCIENCE. Therefore, if we must have a credible leader , he must not be any part of the cabal. Buhari is the only one at the moment who can create the platform for the CABAL to die, the CABAL have already seen this coming, therefore, they have engaged different Mechanism to start the underground war, like the guy who initiated this thread, from his tone, i already know, like Beaf and the rest of them here, we know you. Like the other guys in this thread said, if God contest an election with the Devil, naija will still vote for the devil and cry to God later, what a country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Spineless people, we can not even see the truth, we are so blind to important things, yet we are "OJUYOBO" to flimsy issues, instead of us to start praying for BUHARI to live long enough to achieve this dream and librate the people, we are here condeming the old man. Imagine the kind of country we will have if people like BEAF becomes the president, people like rueben abati.

I am preparing to contest the Presidential elections one day in the near future and I imagine that "candidate never die" Buhari will be one of my opponents. Now, that ain't half bad, what is bad is that I can imagine my son too, one day contesting to be presido against the very same ever lasting candidate, Buhari. shocked

What a guy!
Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by Jaideyone(m): 10:28am On Nov 29, 2011
The truth is Nigerians are myopic. They voted for jonathan not pdp. What has Goodluck done since he started his term as the president? Gej didn't do anything tangible for bayelsans when he was Governor yet Nigerians voted him. Go to our public offices. People resume for work by 9:30am, eat for 30mins and then spend 30mins chatting with their colleagues before attending to you. Corruption is in the system and we need someone to fight it. Buhari is a man that had the opportunity to steal from Nigerians yet he didn't. Why can't Nigerians give him another chance?
Even if this man contests in 2018 i'll still vote for him.
Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by kelechinairaland: 10:46am On Nov 29, 2011
Pst. Tunde Bakare would have fine answers for you. But personally, I think that Buhari is only pained, and he feels he should still be an active stakeholder in the governance of Nigeria; no one says the youths should do thesame.
Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by PointB: 11:05am On Nov 29, 2011
If power is to return to the North in 2015, it won't be going to Retardeen MumuNmadu Buhari, never.

Buhari is not, never has been, and will NEVER be the saviour of Nigeria. He has too much blood of the innocent on his hand and head. Buhari excuse me to say is accursed. Blood letting and injustice, bigotry and fanaticism follows him wherever he goes. Nigeria does not need his type again in 21 century. That is why we rejected him severally. He is a relic of the past and belongs to museum of Nigeria history.

His promoters should look for somebody else and stop hyper ventilating with a badly damaged goods. Enough said.

On this issue, PDP has failed us since 99 and they keep trying to impose more of there failures on the Nigerian people without an atom of shame or guilt in there hearts so given the aforementioned, Buhari still stands to be a̶̲̥̅ better choice amongst the whole pack, take note that where there is Good Governance, the people rejoice and improvements in the life of many will take place but we are not just getting these from the Ruling Party/President. We need to remove sentiments of religon and tribalism when choosing whom to vote for or else our generations yet unborn will suffer the more. If Buhari avails himself once, he is the best choice we have cos what is obtainable now in Power are just a̶̲̥̅ bunch of Looters without Consience, Mark my words people.

[size=18pt]General Buhari's Maiden Speech: - January 1984[/size]

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.



As you must have heard in the previous announcement, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1979) has been suspended, except those sections of it which are exempted in the constitution.The change became necessary in order to put an end to the serious economic predicament and the crisis of confidence now afflicting our nation. Consequently, the Nigerian armed forces have constituted themselves into a Federal Military Government comprising of a Supreme Military Council, a National Council of States, a Federal Executive Council at the centre and State Executive Councils to be presided over by military governors in each of the states of the federation. Members of these councils will be announced soon.The last Federal Military Government drew up a programme with the aim of handing over political power to the civilians in 1979. This programme as you all know, was implemented to the letter. The 1979 constitution was promulgated. However, little did the military realise that the political leadership of the second republic will circumvent most of the checks and balances in the constitution and bring the present state of general insecurity. The premium on political power became so exceedingly high that political contestants regarded victory at elections as a matter of life and death struggle and were determined to capture or retain power by all means.



It is true that there is a worldwide economic recession. However, in the case of Nigeria, its impact was aggravated by mismanagement. We believe the appropriate government agencies have good advice but the leadership disregarded their advice. The situation could have been avoided if the legislators were alive to their constitutional responsibilities; Instead, the legislators were preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, which took no account of the state of the economy and the welfare of the people they represented. As a result of our inability to cultivate financial discipline and prudent management of the economy, we have come to depend largely on internal and external borrowing to execute government projects with attendant domestic pressure and soaring external debts, thus aggravating the propensity of the outgoing civilian administration to mismanage our financial resources. Nigeria was already condemned perpetually with the twin problem of heavy budget deficits and weak balance of payments position, with the prospect of building a virile and viable economy.




The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig. There is ample evidence that rigging and thuggery were relative to the resources available to the parties. This conclusively proved to us that the parties have not developed confidence in the presidential system of government on which the nation invested so much material and human resources.While corruption and indiscipline have been associated with our state of under-development, these two evils in our body politic have attained unprecedented height in the past few years. The corrupt, inept and insensitive leadership in the last four years has been the source of immorality and impropriety in our society. Since what happens in any society is largely a reflection of the leadership of that society, we deplore corruption in all its facets. This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.



Arson has been used to cover up fraudulent acts in public institutions. I am referring to the fire incidents that gutted the P&T buildings in Lagos, the Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation, the Republic Building at Marina, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Capital Development Authority Accounts at Abuja and the NET Building. Most of these fire incidents occurred at a time when Nigerians were being apprehensive of the frequency of fraud scandals and the government incapacity to deal with them. Corruption has become so pervasive and intractable that a whole ministry has been created to stem it.



Fellow Nigerians, this indeed is the moment of truth. My colleagues and I – the Supreme Military Council, must be frank enough to acknowledge the fact that at the moment, an accurate picture of the financial position is yet to be determined. We have no doubt that the situation is bad enough. In spite of all this, every effort will be made to ensure that the difficult and degrading conditions under which we are living are eliminated. Let no one however be deceived that workers who have not received their salaries in the past eight or so months will receive such salaries within today or tomorrow or that hospitals which have been without drugs for months will be provided with enough immediately.We are determined that with the help of God we shall do our best to settle genuine payments to which government is committed, including backlog of workers’ salaries after scrutiny. We are confident and we assure you that even in the face of the global recession, and the seemingly gloomy financial future, given prudent management of Nigeria’s existing financial resources and our determination to substantially reduce and eventually nail down rises in budgetary deficits and weak balance of payments position.The Federal Military Government will reappraise policies with a view to paying greater attention to the following areas:



The economy will be given a new impetus and better sense of direction.
Corrupt officials and their agents will be brought to book.
In view of the drought that affected most parts of the country, the federal government will, with the available resources, import food stuffs to supplement the shortfalls suffered in the last harvest.
Our foreign policy will both be dynamic and realistic. Africa will of course continue to be the centre piece of our foreign policy. The morale and combat readiness of the armed forces will be given high priority. Officers and men with high personal and professional integrity will have nothing to fear.



The Chief Justice of Nigeria and all other holders of judiciary appointments within the federation can continue in their appointments and the judiciary shall continue to function under existing laws subject to such exceptions as may e decreed from time to time by the Federal Military Government. All holders of appointments in the civil service, the police and the National Security Organisation shall continue to exercise their functions in the normal way subject to changes that may be introduced by the Federal Military Government. All those chairmen and members of statutory corporations, parastatals and other executive departments are hereby relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.



The Federal Military Government will maintain and strengthen existing diplomatic relations with other states and with international organisations and institutions such as the Organisation of African Unity, the United Nations and its organs, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth etc. The Federal Military Government will honour and respect all treaties and obligations entered into by the previous government and we hope that such nations and bodies will reciprocate this gesture by respecting our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.




Fellow Nigerians, finally, we have dutifully intervened to save this nation from imminent collapse. We therefore expect all Nigerians, including those who participated directly or indirectly in bringing the nation to this present predicament, to cooperate with us. This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together.

May God bless us all. Good morning.

GEN. BUHARI PRESIDES AT SWEARING IN OF MILITARY GOVERNORS AND WARNS THEM OF PENALTIES FOR CRIME AND CORRUPTION. (video clip)[/size]

(this clip starts moving after first 35seconds)

Nineteen military governors were formally appointed by the new Head of State, Major-General Mohammed Buhari, and other members of the country's Supreme Military Council (SMC) in Lagos on January 4 to run Nigeria's federal states.

General Buhari attended the official swearing-in ceremony, which came four days after he led a bloodless coup ousting former President Shehu Shagari.

Speaking at the ceremony, Buhari reminded his new governors of their duties.All were chosen, he said, for their ability to discharge their responsibilities in the best interests of the country.He went on to warn them that crime and corruption for personal gain, one reason for the coup, would be ruthlessly punished.

General Buhari added the corruption and hoarding in the private sector would not be tolerated.He ended his speech by telling the assembled governors they were answerable to the country's military chiefs of staff and subject to redeployment at any time.

All former state governors have been given a week to report to police.

General Buhari has pledged to revive the country's economy and also to end the armed robberies in major cities that have become commonplace in the last few years.The fate of former top officials in the Shagari administration is still to be decided by the new military government, and Shagari himself is being held in custody.

Secondly, It is true that i invited you to a group during the election in kwara, but what group is it? why didn't you name the group and what its focus is about? you choosed to portray it as if it is hidden or bad all because you want to defend BUhari,

I invited you to Join  a you group named Team for Progress (Kwara 2011)

You said you are not interested and its over, how is that a bad thing? or how does it amount to all this you said here, here is a link about the group

It is all about liberation and educating the people to understand and know their candidates better before choosing which to follow.

A brief about the group is bellow and you can read it from the link above

We are youths who are dedicated to liberate kwara state from dictatorship and backwardness with seriousness and sincerity. We came out after seeing how hard many people have fought to liberate kwara state and there fulminate actions in many occasions, and how they linger over it. But all with no avail. Out of our optimism in their resplendent resurgent, we have decided to stop the talking, but do the acting by finding away to show

the people of kwara state and Nigerians entirely that we are being enslaved and the only way out is to collectively do the fighting.

Many of the people with resources doing the fighting on the peoples behave do not have the same ideology and it is causing a lot of misunderstanding which as been making it very difficult to get the people out of the slump.

For this reason, we initiated this idea to finally end the 30 years of darkness in kwara state politics.
