Name one sensible eastern he could have picked? Besides even if he picked an eastern, it wud v made no sense cos Igbos wud rather vote for GEJ. So why should GMB pour water in a basket?

I think he made the right choice.
#GMB 2015

Hahahaha, please don't insult igbos by displaying the abyss of your stupidity with nonsense comments. By the way, no long talk, your old general is a bad market, dead on arrival, expired product. He can't win any election come 2015. I don't even know why APC relabels an expired drug and try to sell it to Nigerians. Why are they so damn politically daft.

[size=17pt]Honest to God , I had this impression that Buhari was not gonna pick any of the available candidates as running mates but I didnt say it , what I did say however in a previous comment was that once Buhari is sworn in. A lot of these popular and powerful politicians will have two options


Go on exile after striking a deal to return embezzled funds , those who stay in the country will be powerless and probably under constant monitoring

Or if they choose to be stubborn and are found guilty , they'll get the death penalty

And thats 70tees over again , the reason why they called GMB a dictator

Indirectly , the comment means in order to fight corruption , he himself must choose someone who was not / is not a Loot-o-Crat / PoliTHIEFcian. Otherwise they'd blackmail his government and undermine all his efforts


Sai BUHARI. The man you never know what he's thinking. The man Nigeria needs , the Man Nigerians MUST VOTE come Y2K15[/size]

A TALE OF TWO WRONG CHOICES

I still remember vividly in 2007 how Nigerians trooped out to vote in our amiable president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan not because we are certain of what he can do but because we were tired of seeing the old people been recycled within the seat of power.

We did not vote for PDP but voted for him because for the first time ever we were presented a clean candidate and when i say clean i mean a full flesh and blood civilian,well read,and seemingly a good representative of the youths of this country.

I did not only vote for him but also canvassed for him. I still respect him as a person and i appreciate his effort in trying to lead the most populous black nation on earth.

But In my opinion and i believe a random selection of many people in Nigeria will support my stand view."PRESIDENT JONATHAN HAS FAILED US".

Never have i seen the level of financial misappropriation so celebrated, the rule of law made so baseless,lives wasted and no visible transformation recorded even when we hear the lyrics of transformation agenda and i can remember that even President Yaraduah of blessed memory despite his ill health brought a transformation to this country by granting amnesty to MEND and the former president Obasanjo within the first four years was able to give Nigerians succor in the communication sector.

Permit me to say that the insurgency of Boko haram is no excuse because in as much as this may cause some distractions,it was not strong enough to distract N1.067trn fuel subsidy fund lost to “endemic corruption and entrenched inefficiency”

The day i personally realized i made a great error voting president Jonathan into office was when he woke up on the 1st of January 2012 to increase fuel pump price to well over 100% and i had to go back to sleep with the hope that it was all a dream.

I remember how people who were stranded in various destination of christmas celebrations sold their properties in order to meet up with the sudden hike in transport fare due to the sudden and heartless act of a president who ought to have the feelings of the very people who elected him and i can't remember any military president doing that.

I am not a military personnel neither will i claim to know the politics going on concerning Bokoharam but i strongly believe that if the president truly decides to use his office as commander in chief of all the armed forces in Nigeria, Boko haram would have been a thing of the past and i strongly believe that if for four years, we still have the insurgency this strong,then this will only be a rehearsal compared to what we may see if the incumbent president finds his way once again into ASO rock.

Let me stop here as regards the incumbent president and dwell on Retired General Buhari.

i am not a fan of Buhari and i don't think i will ever be simply due to the fact that i just find it hard to reconcile the fact that the same man who took over power when i was just 9years is the same man coming back to canvass for our votes to occupy same seat when i also have all it takes to be in that same position and make a difference.

I do not know much about his regime because as a nine year old innocent kid, all i saw were men in uniforms and just after two years he was sent packing by Babangida.

But then lets face it,if the person we hoped would make a difference did not deliver the expected dividends of democracy after ruling for six years then i think it makes sense to try another person and since the other alternative we have is an old man of 72 who according to many does not condole corruption.

Conclusively i would say that in my opinion,both GEJ and Buhari are wrong choices but given the present situation that we have to choose one of these two,i would prefer to try this old man out who was not really giving the opportunity to rule way back and see what he has to offer and i believe that every logical Nigerian should do same.

If after 4years we can not see any reason to vote him once more then we can equally sack him out with our votes.

many have maintained that people's vote do not count in Nigeria but i would still employ all as-sundry to vote in for a change irrespective of the possibility of some people who may try to rig.

Together we can bring a positive change to our great Nation.

Guys, no matter how new and fresh that wine is, believe me it will test very bad . #opinion# Had it been Mr Osibanjo is d real candidate and BU HA RIA, the running mate. It should have been better.
