What example are you asking of? Where all over the world have you heard or seen a political presidential aspirant coming out to tell the whole world that he BORROWED money to get nomination form? Not even in China where anti-corruption war is highly effective.
My worries are 2 folds. 1) why did he not contact his political team to raise the money? 2). Even if the political group was not capable of raising such fund, must he borrow the money in his own name? In fact, even if he borrowed the money as a private person, must he tell the whole world that he borrowed it? To me his action is a sign of one man show, and telling the world that he borrowed it is childish and immature behaviour. Or has he started his declaration of assets already?

teufelein:

some of people from the zoo nigeria are completely senseless...they forget easily that Buhari stole almost 3 Billion Dollar of Petroleum Trust Fund(PTF).
I pity sincerely some fooools..No wonder you're in darkness.

Obiagelli:

Maybe he shouldn't have told the world but if i was contesting election, i expect to pay my nomination forms from my pocket. Campaign funds? A different matter entirely.

Don't also forget that his supporters offered to pay for him but he turned it down. Sacrifice

barcanista:
Why shouldn't he have told the world? Is there any law that forbade such? Did any leader told the world that they had no shoe before GEJ did? These are strategy to make the whole thing favors you.
The reason GMB told the world is to make it clear that he doesn't have such huge amount and no godfather is sponsoring his campaign. Thereby maintening his clean slot and put an end to an unnecessary propaganda of him having too much money by the PDP. Its a pure PR strategy and I endorse it.

Please can you highlight anywhere in the article where Buhari borrowed money?

Obiagelli:
Buhari’s exact words below, you might not necessarily have to tender an apology sis. Pay attention to the bolded part, he wasn't emphatic about a loan.

“But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’t want
to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination
forms, because I always try to pay myself, at least for
the nomination.

“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal
relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna
and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so,
[b]whether I am on red, or green or even black please
honour it otherwise I may lose the nomination.[/b] Is it okay by you?

honeric01:


How does this "indicate a loan"? is this how a loan is taken? you are quite knowledgeable with banking rules (I guess), can you take a loan on the phone? especially N27M?

Whether he's on a red, green and black, please honour it, do you think this indicates a loan or does it not sound like someone issuing out a check but not sure if his account balance can cover for the amount on the check?

honeric01:


It's hard to embrace change if you do not even recognize change.

Obiagelli:

I have been asking the same question since yesterday.

huptin:


Kindly point out the change in going back to 1984. That man was the president when I could barely walk. If we must have change let it be the right type Please.

Buhari has an anti-corruption toga. There is so
much corruption in the world, and many people
are using their creative ability to form
organisations or do something to fight
corruption. Organisations like Transparency
International were set up by people to do
something about corruption and in the process
they are also creating wealth or themselves. Why
has Buhari not leveraged on this ‘asset’ to help
Nigeria and the world and in the process earn a
living? What idea has Buhari proposed or
generated to fight corruption apart from
complain on pages newspapers?

a relevant question that obiagali should answer if cbn regulations allow giving loans to persons above the age of 65 years in the zoo nigeria..

If this conversation was through the phone, how did it come to the public domain? "Whether I am on a red, green or black, please honour it. What does this statement imply?

honeric01:


This is why its not advisable to comment on things you don't have a full grip on. This conversation took place between himself and APC chairman and knowing fully well that Press men are always flooding around politicians, they must have picked up their conversation. go back and read through the full article. (not on this thread, but on this forum).

jamace:
This one https://www.nairaland.com/1953153/buhari-took-bank-loan-purchase. If its this, then Buhari took bank loan because he lamented the high cost of the form and narrated how he was able to raise the fund through the understanding of his bakers at Kaduna and Abuja.. Obvious from the highlighted that he sourced for loan to be able to purchase the form.

Akdegreat:
Its a way of telling us Nigerians that he has not enriched himself through corrupt practices, and has hence opted for the loan because of his passion to lead us.
Hahahahaha!!!

Hope you realize people like Dangote still take loans? Don't fool yourself

ITbomb:
This is very insightful.

With all his anti corruption hype, there is not one movement he is pushing to fight or expose corruption.

Taking a loan to get a nomination form is a sign of bad management decision. It is like lottery, since when did banks grant loans for lottery or any venture with a flip coin chance.
He would have raised the money from associates or at least part of his savings.
Is this the way he will be taking loans to solve national challenges? Instead of considering all alternative.

Buhari declared and next day, Boko Haram agrees to a ceasefire, what am I thinking?

honeric01:


Mind quoting "word for word" the part that spells out this "findings" of yours?

The full quote :

"“But I felt heavily sorry for myself because I don’t want to go and ask somebody to pay for my nomination forms, because I always try to pay myself, at least for the nomination.
“N27 million is a big sum, thankfully I have personal relationship with the manager of my bank in Kaduna and I told him that very soon the forms are coming, so, whether I am on red, or green or even black please honour it otherwise I may lose the nomination.
“I was about to go to Kaduna this morning and I told the Chairman but he said in that case, you better pick your form and keep a straight face that means there is no excuse,” Mr. Buhari said".

6 Reasons Why You Should Avoid Buhari Like Ebola Virus

1. Violence

He makes provocative statements that are capable of putting the country in crisis. This attitude caused the death of hundreds of innocent lives after the 2011 elections where about 10 youth corps were also murdered in cold blood. 2015 is not here, but he has already promised "dogs and baboon..." Compare this with the US election where Romney wasted no time to congratulate Pres. Obama or the Australian election where the incumbent, Rudd lost and quickly congratulated Abbott. A great leader should always place national interest above personal ambition.

2. Bigotry

He's intolerant of any idea other than his own, especially on religion, politics, or race. No wonder he doesn't criticize anything that concerns his religion, no matter how bad. Hence, his obvious sympathy to B'Haram. A good leader should have listening ears, take a stand on what is good but also allow people to air their views and be entitled to their opinions.

3. Principle

He's not a man of principle, that is why he has been jumping from one party to another, even aligning with known corrupt elements in the hope of actualizing his presidential ambition. Great leaders don't do this. They always stick with like-minds, no matter the situation.

4. Lack of Democratic Features

Though, his admirers want us to believe that he was invited to lead after the coup but the fact is that he wasn't the most senior office at that time. Nevertheless, we've not forgotten the obnoxious Decree 4 - against which truth was no defence. He used this to jail journalists and attempt to cow the whole media. He did not also make any plan to organize election and handover to a democratic govt.

5. Tribalism

The lopsided execution of PTF projects which was 74% and 26% (according to PTF Situation Report, Vol 2, 98) in the north and south respectively showed his tribalistic nature. The dumping of Dr. Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri maximum prison and Shagari placed under house arrest was beyond tribalism.

6. His 2-year reign as a Head of State left no legacy

Buhari's 2-year iron-fist rule left no legacy in Nigeria. There is nothing we can point at now that was established by his govt. Or should we call the cancellation of Lagos monorail as his legacy after-all Nigeria till date has no monorail?

Lets end this part 1 with the quote of October 4, 2010: "Buhari is perpetually un-electable because of his insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known." - Mallam Nasir el-Rufai

blink182:
if you think it is senseless then back up your point with facts. I lost all respect I had for Buhari when I read he borrowed to buy his ticket. How does he intend to fund his campaign if he can not buy ticket. Before you say anything, I'm a card carrying member of Apc but not a zombie. If apc can not prove they have something better to offer Nigerians then I am sorry but my vote goes to PDP.
