To be sincere, even if PDP rigs, they will still fail woefully. The only PDP supporters I know are online and most of them are "PAID". Am sure even most of the paid PDP agents with conscience will still go ahead and vote GMB
True talk, PDP has lost it totally.

and you think the guns "buhari didn't buy in 1984 is the reason for jonathan's security failures of 2014"? what kind of weapons bought in 1984 can stand the efficiency of the modern weapons boko haram use today?

do you know how silly this thought is when you remember that the nigerian army carried out successful military campaigns in liberia and sierraleone in the 1990s. what weapons did the army use in those mega campaigns?


Building national sectors and such a sensitive one like military and defence is a long term project...what did those heads of state of the 80s and 90s do to develop the military in case of crises like we have now?
what weapons were we producing? what weapons did we buy?

What blame GEJ like he destroyed the system, he met it at a woeful state

oh!,pls military campaign to Liberia, like the campaign to Mali 2yrs ago?
How does that prove Nigeria had a strong military in the 90s? What weapons were we using?
Sending men to stand, watch and flex their little equipments isn't what am talking about

What I can not forgive is Buhari making ds country ungovernable for GEJ as promised.
If he eventually win d Feb 14 n knows something about d calamities dt ve befell us so far as a country,he ll know no peace while in office n d Almighty God ll make ds country ungovernable for him too,amen
Why are you thinking negatively mr man. it is over to the king on the throne to know how to handle his subjects. This is part of why the tide is against Mr Jonathan.
If a man promised you that your reign as a king will be distort and you are watching the man carrying out the treat, then you are not suitable to be a king.
President Jonathan with all the apparatus of state at his control have no body to blame for the insecurity in Nigeria today.

The fuss is that, If he doesn't have SSCE or equivalent then how did he enter the Army?

It means he must have forged something which is an offence too.

If you are corrupt u can't fight corruption completely.

Note - I used "If"

But some people are forcefully conscripted to the army in times of war - qualifications or not. This is a normal thing that happens worldwide in almost every country.

I am not saying that's the case here cos I don't know, but it could be a possibility.

Well that's also a possibility, but if he doesn't have WAEC Or SSCE Certificate, it means he cannot run for the position. Because that's the minimum requirement.

Lol...I know that's what you're getting at. The constitution says Secondary school leaving certificate or its equivalent.

He has a diploma at the US war college which is even more than the said requirement. He has other educational qualifications though in the military, they can be said to be equivalent or higher than O - levels

how far do you want us to go to find who to blame for gej's lack of weapons of today? 1960s? 1970s? 1980s?

jonathan became VP in 2007. is it too much to expect he and yarádua held meetings with the top army leaders to find out what deficiencies they had? or do we blame buhari for that failure as well? PDP has been in power 16 unbroken years. how much time do you need to plan? or we should blame buhari for that too?

i don't know how old you are but to sneer at the military efforts of that era shows how uninformed you are. abacha's army single handedly ended the civil war in sierra leone and installed a new president(Ahmed Tejan Kabah i think). that is not an army to sneer at. you'll look silly doing so. also if you think the weapons of that time were unworthy of a strong army, why blame the past leaders who didn't saddle gej with obsolete hardware? gej should buy the weapons fit for today's wars and stop blaming everybody for his own failings. the weapons of that era did the job they were meant to do and the whole world acknowledged it.

if gej's army failed in mali 2 years ago, it shows how low our army has truly fallen

There is no gainsaying the fact that GMD is the people's man. He is that change Nigerians need at this crucial time. The wind of change is blowing, I imploy the progressive minded people to tag along. We shall get it right this time around. Nigeria will be a toast of all nation with Buhari the president of our dear nation. GEJ has failed us, and he certainly not fit to paddle the canoe of this country again. He and his cronies have subverted our economy, they have mangled our heritage and they have draged our image as a respected and enviable nation to the mud. Are we going to allow these mauraders to come again, No, no! We shall oust them out come February 14, Gej shall be shown the way to Otuoke. After all, he once had no shoes but now we have done well by giving him assorted shoes. He should be grateful.
Buhari should be given the chance this time around. This is not a matter of religion, neither is it about ethnicity but its a matter that concerns all and sundry. G.M.D is our man o!!!

Going through all your points, do you know only money bags are appointed to donate, present lectures, finance projects and influence projects to their community? Majority of those who live fat on our common resources, they sat on our billions and dole thousands to us as if we are beggars. Nigerians should be taught how to fish rather than been given fish. Nigerians need modern infrastructural developments not withe washed obsolete projects from ur pay master. South easterners has rejected his 2nd Niger bridge, sub standard airport projects, while Lagos deserves better train service than the one provided, how many commuter can pay #750 for a one way trip within Lagos state going to work, remember minimum wage is just #600 per day.
Every supporter of GEJ should rather look back to what happened to industry vis-a-vis employment during Shagari regime in 1983, I believe those that were in the then Shagari regime have hijacked PDP plus their offspring which may include your very self. This is honest and personal opinion.
