Walexz02:

U can please start naming the ones we can trust apart from Gen. Buhari..

Sincere 9gerian: Some persons have painted a picture of of paradise on earth when Buhari ruled this country between 1983 to 1985. For those who didn't witness that period, the article below summarizes what happened in that period.
Muhammad Buhari , Muhammad also spelled Muhammadu (born Dec. 17, 1942, Daura, Nigeria), Nigerian military leader and politician, who served as head of state (1984–85).
Educated largely in Katsina , Buhari took military training in Kaduna as well as in Great Britain, India, and the United States. He was INVOLVED in the military coup that ousted Yakubu Gowon in 1975 and was appointed military governor of North Eastern state (now Borno ) that same year. He WAS APPOINTED federal commissioner for petroleum resources BY Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo , who became military head of state when Gowon’s successor, Murtala Mohammed, was assassinated in 1976. By 1977 Buhari had become the military secretary at Supreme Military Headquarters, which was the seat of government. By September 1979 he had returned to regular army duties and commanded a division based in Kaduna. Although elected government had returned to Nigeria in 1979, dissatisfaction with what the military perceived as corrupt politicians led to another military coup on Dec. 31, 1983, and Buhari was chosen unanimously to be the new head of state.
INSURMOUNTABLE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of EXPANDING FOREIGN DEPT. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused SEVERE HARDSHIP to the average Nigerian. In addition, POLITICAL CORRUPTION CONTINUED unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to STOP DISSENSION, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists.
By August 1985 even the military had had enough,and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.

Only FOOLS will be deceived!!

berem: buhari was accused of being a sponsor of boko haram yet no member of the sect was found in his house. atiku abubakar threatened that he will make Jonathan 's regime ungovernable yet we blame buhari for boko haram insurgents. Andrew azzazi said some pdp members are sponsors of bokoharam. did he mention buhari? now who is fooling who? just because bokoharam made him a negotiator that makes him a sponsor. I guess wole soyinka is also a MEND militant.

1025: if i am asked to choose a man that will change the history of this country, i will surely go for Buhari.
i am from imo state and i have looked at this useless pdp and i have come to terms that they will only lead us to the grave yards.
until we face the realities on ground and embrace the truth, we will continue having govt officials who are richer than states and countries yet the masses die of hunger.
under jonathan, the only news we hear is bomb and looting.
we need a change and pdp has no hand in change as they are so corrupt that they can't afford change on the positive side.

Zeus I: 'Buhari is the best president Nigeria will never have'.

Sincere 9gerian:
If you'r WISE, you would know that corruption in Nig has it ROOTS in the SHARING OF FREE NIGER DELTA AND IGBO OIL MONEY. Changing the personnel presiding over the sharing of the free oil money will NEVER STOP the corruption but will only change the BENEFICIARIES of the corruption. Any where there's FREE MONEY TO BE SHARED, one must be more than an ANGEL not to fall for the temptation of being corrupt. Even if the person at the top is not looting too much, those under him will be looting. Forget the SUPER STORY of people who claim they'll fight corruption to a standstill. If the FREE OIL MONEY CEASES TO FLOW TODAY, corruption in Nig will reduce by over 90% automatically. You dont need an anti-corruption czar to stop corruption in Nig. Alternatively, we can re-structure the country and give states full control of their resources. This will move the pot of corruption to the states and reduce corruption and tension at the federal level. Will Buhari stop re-structuring? I guess no!
However, as democracy grows, legislature becomes stronger to serve as checks, the judiciary stands it ground and with the SEARCH LIGHT of the media, corruption will naturally reduce over time

Nashville:

PDP does not need to find anything against him. He presented himself three times to Nigerians but the truth is that Nigerians rejected him all the time. You can blame it on rigging or anything else to make yourself happy. This is democracy and the majority decide not you and Olumide. He is free to present himself again but I do not see anything different happening.

Some people define insanity as doing the same thing the same way and expecting a different result each time. If Buhari wants to make a change, he is in a position as an ex-president to make significant change especially in the north rather than wasting his money on elections. By the way where did he get all this money from? Donations from who? You?

lanre_front:

Don't worry. Don't vote Buahri. Continue to vote for clueless and mind-boggling corrupt Jonathan and PDP and continue to suffer. What I don't understand however is why you complain when you suffer?

gratiaeo: Some people here are stupid and ignorance so you are expecting Buhari to win erection in southeast/south south where he did not even have one campaign office... Sorry we ll disappoint yuo
He thank that winning an erection is all about having Alimagili followers from one section of the country... next time let him come down to the east and tell what he ll build for us
Gej may have disappointed us but its still better to have him there than all this Abokis who think Nigeria is their birth right to rule

foxxynik: I TOTALLY HATE THE WAY NIGERIANS THINK.....WAT HAS BUHARI GOT TO OFFER? LEME TELL...IF HE´S GOT ANY CHANGE TO MEK...IT WAS THEN WHEN HE HAD HIS CHANCES AND SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO......GOODLUCK HAS DONE HIS BEST AND BEING A CHRISTIAN AND A SOUTHERNER MANY THINGS WUNT LET HIM RULE THE WAY HE OUGTS TO E.G MILITANCY AND BOKOHARAM ISSUES.....AND EVEN D SO CALLED POLITICAL GODFATHERS USES THIS OPPORTUNTY TO EMBESSLE MONEY.......BUHARI ABI NA BUGHATTI SHULD GO AND BURI HIMSELF AND LET OTHER NEW YOUNG POLITICIANS WITH MODERN CONCEPTIONS TO RULE.....HABA.....HIM DON OLD NA....MEK HIM GO DIE......HIM MATES DEM DON DIE FINISH.....GOWON DEM

OracleHex: Hello NL, this is my first tread on this forum and I'd like to know what is wrong with having Buhari as the president of
this nation?
OR
Do we prefer to wallow in this clueless administration
for a life time??

I am a Nigerian and igbo, if the Moses of this country would come from the North what is wrong with that?
All we hear is GEJ spending Billions of naira on foreign
trips or his Wife blocking the roads and airport as id she
is the country’s constitutional CO-PRESIDENT.
Please keep your racism to yourself and think wisely.
If Buhari is the problem of the nation,why hasn’t GEJ acted as the commander of chief?? Hello NL, this is my first tread on this forum and I'd like to know what is wrong with having Buhari as the president of

So pls b wise,buhari z a poisenous green snake

thegoodjoehunt:

If you run a poll in Nigeria, you will find out that a lot of people are not satisfied with GEJ'S administration. So don't make this a vote Buhari or GEJ. For instance, I will support Ribadu because he is the one person I have seen try to fight corruption in this country. From the investigation of Abacha's stolen funds till his attack on corrupt Governors.

What some of us are saying is electing a past leader might not be the best option. We should be looking into other people. Not that we must vote GEJ.

Some listed Pat Utomi, Fashola (whom you didn't provide any fact of being corrupt. Bola Tinubu isn't convicted of corruption), Adams Oshiomhole has been exceptional since taken power, Rochas Okorocha, etc.
