barcanista: His first post was long and so off-point. He talked about Buhari's northern popularity which is not the subject here and all other off posts

Demdem:

Then u are the problem not Buhari having chosen to feast on unbalanced write up u read. U need to sieve them all. Ur fears are unfounded in a democratic setting.
Was Rawlings not a military man in Ghana that had terrible human right records, today he is worshipped by his country men. Show me one military regime with good human right record. Even at that, it's not sufficient enough to judge him with it in a democratic setting. If he doesn't believe in democracy, he won't go to the courts whenever he feels robbed in the polls.

barcanista: in 2007 PDP fielded Muslim Umaru Yaradua. he'd have been fielded again were it not for his death. Religion politics won't work

barcanista: What is your point? How does this post relate to issues raised?

Faun:

In 1999, PDP fielded Christian Yoruba Southerner, Obasanjo.
In 2007, PDP fielded Muslim Hausa-Fulani Northerner Yar'Adua.
Can you compare that with the APC that has CONSISTENTLY fielded ONLY Muslim Hausa-Fulani Northerners?
Of all their 4 candidates from 2003, ZERO has been a non-Hausa-Fulani.
Even with the merger, these people still can't hide their superiority complex.
Anyway, I've already made my decision. The only things they shall rule in 2015 are their cattle.

Demdem:

He is basically telling u that the bulk of Nigerian electorates don't think the way u do. Nigerians before now have been given better choices in terms of "holy" men but they rebuffed such.

barcanista: Has Jerry Rawlings been reelected a civilian president? Need I remind you that Buhari refused to attend Council of State meeting between 2003 and 2007 because he felt that Obj rigged the 2003 election even when the court affirmed(rightly or wrongly) Obj's victory. He doesn't really believe in the Court.

barcanista: APC is an Institution that can use its goodwill to garner votes for its candidate. It shouldn't be a Buhari Vs PDP. If APC is all about Buhari's Ambition then it is not worth to be taken serious. The APC has working Governors and leaders that has the Potential to garner votes if well marketed.

barcanista: Bros, Honestly I don't trust Buhari. I have tried to convince myself to no avail. If what I have read is to go by, Buhari will not take criticism lightly and the Press won't be spared(including social network). He will kick out corruption but His Human Right record is nothing to go by.

Sincere9gerian:
You actually believe an INDIVIDUAL can kick out corruption in Nigeria? Bros, you'r sitting on a long long thing.

You guys in APC are more naive than I thought. Or is this just pure mischief?

If it was possible for a president/head of state to single handedly kick out corruption in Nigeria, why hasn't that happened since 1960 till date? Was Nigeria created yesterday? Is GEJ the first leader of Nigeria?

My guy, the SOLUTION to the problems in Nigeria lie in making necessary STRUCTURAL CHANGES and building STRONG INSTITUTIONS.

Unfortunately, the elites from the far north, who ruled this country for the most part of her history, have stood as stumbling block to much needed STRUCTURAL CHANGES needed for accelerated PROGRESS and DEVELOPMENT in Nigeria.

You guys in APC should not insult our intelligence with your gibberish

You just hope that by simply changing the nations leadership that by a stroke of luck a messiah will emerge that will clean up the entire mess in the country? If simply changing leadership hasn't worked since 1960 till date, what makes you think it will work now? Is it not a FOOL that keeps doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result?

barcanista: Personally, I want the PDP out. They have exhausted their time with little or no progress. I want the APC in power but I don't just want another set of Politicians that will make one wish for the return of PDP. I believe there are credible leaders within the APC that are capable of dislodging the PDP. Consider protest votes and those that "don't just want PDP" again, they will most likely throw their weights behind the APC's candidate. The APC as a party need to get it right.

omenka: @Obiagelli, Buhari was HOS for less than a year, not two years. Seven months I think.

Obiagelli:
December 31, 1983 – August 27, 1985

edogirl2:
My No.1 priority right now is fighting corruption, and the only person I trust to genuinely pursue this goal is Mr Buhari.

God-willing, my first-ever vote in this country will go to him if he's presented.


All the talk about generational shift is nonsense. GEJ is one generation behind Buhari - how effective has he been?

If APC presents anybody else, even Fashola, I will not vote. Fashola cannot fight corruption - I know a bit about what happens in Lagos.

Thanks..

ShehuAba: Well shizzle it's unfair for you to abuse the General unfairly, Can't you make your points without abuse?.
barcanista it's either you are not in Nigeria or you don't understand Nigerian politics well. It seems you've forgotten that Nigerians still vote for religious or tribal sentiments.
In contesting against the PDP, the APC really needs a candidate who already has a support base and can pull more votes with the party's hard work. You think just the APC governors can garner those votes neglecting the fact that PDP is very much on ground and has a more popular candidate in GEJ.
Have seen you clamor for kwankwaso in some quarters, well we all know there's a clear difference between the two and we all know who's more popular. The APC have experimented with Ribadu in 2011 and he performed woefully, they won't like to make same mistake this time around with a new candidate.
Unless if PDP is coming with another new candidate apart from GEJ, then APC can do same.
But as it stands now, Buhari is still the only candidate that can give GEJ a run for his money.

Demdem:

Insincerefool has come in and added it's own ethnic coloration. So the northern elites don't have southern accomplices right?
Are u aware that we have far greater number of accomplices to core culprits.
What Nigeria needs is a strong incorruptible leader that leads by example who will have the confidence and fearlessness to build these structures u are talking about in a democratic setting. Ur master, Jonathan can never achieve this. He is and stands for the status quo.

omenka: Please, can someone tell me which tribe in this country is "Hausa-Fulani"?? I find it very disgusting when some cretins that havnt the slightest of touch formal education come in here to say trash simply because they have access to the internet!! Eg Faun!!
