lertee: Has pastor tunde Bakare been dropped or why is he not mentioned? Just curious to know.
I thought it was him with buhari at all time mostly to balance the religion equation.

Thanks. I do contribute, but in the past few months people have become so angry and abusive about anything and anybody they disagree with that I prefer to watch from the sidelines most times. It is a very intimidating environment now.

On Okorocha...I agree that if APC wins Anambra, that will be a major breakthrough for the party in the SE, and will increase the likelihood of an Igbo VP. All in all, I think the Buhari/Fashola combination will edge it at the end of the day.

nku5: Buhari's too old abeg. I'd rather see fashola/amaechi if he cross carpets to APC or mark/amaechi if he remains in PDP

edo.girl:
I understood that there was little corruption during his time. False?

Also, I am not aware that his government used flogging as a tool to punish erring masses. Yes, it may have been used by some quasi-military agencies and the police, but we have the same today.

Don't police flog people now? And the army publicly humiliating civilians? I tell you of a recent (well, a few months ago) event where the army team on the road block between Owo and Akungba apparently forced a 'poorly dressed' lady to bring her t*ts out to be fondled by the Okada guy ferrying her. I understand the Ondo State University (Akungba) girl was dressed for a party on a weekend, and the army thought her dressing was distasteful, and her punishment was that depraved humiliation. We happen to leave in a society with peculiar values. We can't peg everything on Buhari.

NB: Just to confirm that the incident about the army was relayed to me by a relative. I can't vouch that it happened.

edo.girl:


No question that Amaechi won't bring as much votes as Fashola, and in my view a Buhari/Fashola ticket remain the most formidable option for APC. I also think Buhari/Amaechi can be a veritable second choice.

A muslim/muslim[/b], particularly one with Fashola on it, is not an issue for most Christians that I know. Right now, people just want a solid leader who will fight corruption.

CyberG:

You don't know that! All you have is your own single vote, assuming you are 18 and those of your immediate family and friends who may listen to you! Stop acting as though you speak on behalf of million of people because YOU DON'T and CANNOT!

eye4eye:


Shimon Peres of Israel is 94, PM of India is 86, Mandela was 73 when he became President, Anenin of PDP is 82, Bamanga Tukur of PDP is 80, so what are you talking about? McCain was 71 when he contested against Obama to become president.

cashkid_is_back: anybody running wit buhari as mate wont win a single vote in d SE/SS especially in d SE.igbos wil vote massively for gej in 2015..evn if buhari runs rochas,igbos wont gv him their votes

kingoflag: Ronald Reagan was almost 1billion years old when he became,arguably, the best President America ever had.

Katsumoto:

According to Republicans.

But Roosevelt is the best president of all time in the US. He was so good, he won 4 elections.

kingoflag: David Mark?! The same David Mark?! Uber corrupt ugly monkey that said "Phones are not for the poor"?! Someone needs to chop off ur fingers so u don't vote come next elections.

kingoflag: Ah, Bro, don't ever tell that to any red blooded American. Reagan's works during the cold war effectively stamped him as our greatest President ever.

Obiagelli:
i love the way you table your arguments, simply brilliant. I hope you make more contributions here.
@ topic i doubt the number of votes Amechi would bring in as vice president, like it's been said above igbos would most likely vote gej except Apc wins anambra and chooses rochas as it's VP thereby selling the igbo presidency agenda for 2019.

atlwireles:

Maybe 20 years ago, Nigerians will not tolerate that. Why not offer the Northerners[b] Xtain/Xtians[/b] ticket. Then we can count the dead bodies after their mad riots.

atlwireles:

Left them with trillions in debt.

0monnakoda: I cannot say the same about your argument or logic. Ok so Ibos won't vote for Amaechi but there are 31 other states who could back Amaechi. I don't see how thi is an "Ibo" issue or how the election turns on who Ibos vote for. What does Rochas ,2019 and all that Ibo Presidency agenda have to do with our fine discussion here. Must everything be seen from an Ibo perpective? There are 19 states in the North and 6 in the SW = 25. It is how those 25 vote and th

Katsumoto:

The debt the US is struggling with today is from the Reagan era. Republicans are trying to kill Obama over raising the debt ceiling twice when Reagan raised the ceiling 18 times and Bush junior raised it 7 times.

atlwireles:

People forget, when Carter left office in 1980 United states had about 900B in total debt. it took reagan 8 years to send it to almost 6 trillion. From 1776-1980 total debt 900B.

Obiagelli:
Bro you are missing my point, i only brought in a perspective, having rochas as VP with anambra in the bag would definitely bring in more votes than ameachi. I believe no region should be neglected as it would only strengthen Jonathan. Igbo 2019 is also a good sell. Anyways we are only just sharing ideas. I am all for Buhari/fashola anyday.

0monnakoda:
We say no to any POWER MUST RETURN TO NORTH AGENDA. It is possible for the South to kick out GEJ and field another person . Why must it be Buhari

Obiagelli:
power should return to when it belongs A WORTHY LEADER one who cares less about his pocket and is ready to fight corruption head on. I care less about his tribe.

kingoflag: Even if Buhari runs with Jesus, igbos will vote Gej.

bolayei: Buhari was good when he ruled nigeria before but the big question is...is he not old now? Are there no competent younger nigerians? The reason tinubu won lagos state governorship was because his poster photo was a younger picture of him and everyone voted hoping a younger man will have a better vision and strength. Nigerians have to say no to these men, they are already pensioners. Nigeria in those days was ruled by some of the names we still mention today and these guys were young then. These old men will only spoil things more. We need younger men so people will be able to express themselves more, a younger man knows what is happening in the world today and have the physical ability to move round.

Better still, Buhari can run for prime minister/president/premier of the northern nigeria/region.

N:B Nigeria is a name given to 3 countries i.e eastern, western, northern nigeria. We are meant to canvas for things to go back to how it was because it worked then this marriage is not working. And our ways of twisting the english language don confuse us to the point wey e don dey affect us. The word ''UNITED'' we call am ''ONE'' and that don confuse us. Think of it as united nigeria not one nigeria then you will know its 3 countries/regions just like united kingdom get ireland,wales and england. Even though our slogan na peace and unity, think...where did the unity come in the equation?
