CaptainJason:


You tried by listed those points but it would have been better if you considered many other factors before heaping the blame on just one man out of 170 million people.


1. You forgot to mention the Borno elders that requested for less military presence and promised an end to boko haram if the military presence is reduced, you also forgot to add that Gen Ihejerika was attacked every time he was dealing with the boko haram boys, you failed to include that previous governments failed to stop Boko haram and that Emirs and notable northern politicians have been begging and standing as surety for those militants. Did you also forget that KAbiru Sokoto was arrested in Borno State Governors Abuja lodge? Why point all fingers at the man you expect to single-handedly stop numerous problems caused by several people and interest groups?

2. Dollar to Naira is now 210, Did you ask yourself what you and your people have been contributing to help Nigeria earn foreign currency? Are you aware that most countries with strong currencies are earning foreign currency, Do you as an individual export any good or service? The citizens of the countries you would want to compare the naira with are actively involved in earning foreign currency for their country

3. Most doctors and medical personnel in Govt owned institutions have their own private clinics where they refer people to, they cash out during the strike as more people troop to their clinics. Do you have any positive contribution on how to stop this trend?

4,5,6. These institutions clamored for autonomy yet they do not want to be independent, the workers have displayed their selfish nature, they try all sorts and hold govt to ransom. How come the private schools are doing very fine, many lectures hold positions in both public and private schools yet they do not sell their handout and ask for tutorial funds,sex and bribe for grades in the private schools except for maybe the yahoo colleges.

7 Oil theft is not new, Previous governments failed to stop it and it will continue to rise unless the world comes to our aid. The stolen oil makes its way to the market and as long as there are willing buyers and those ships can travel thousands of miles then there is no hope, its an organised crime.

8. Very sad, but how come Buhari and company have not been attending meetings to discuss the security situation? How come they cannot proffer solutions (since they claim they have it) to avoid loss of lives of people dying daily? How come they cannot use their supposed cult following to negotiate peace?

9. The international reputation has always been low and it is even getting better now, more people get visas now unlike the past when even western countries ban certain age groups

10. Corruption, we are all guilty, you support Buhari who is funded by ATiku, Amaechi and Tinubu


You claim Buhari is not perfect, No one is perfect, he was head of state, there were heads of state before and after him and they did not rule their people like they were ruling animals, Examples are Ironsi, Gowon, IBB, Murtala. Your Buhari that is not corrupt was Minister of petrol the first time that 2.8 billion dollars got missing from NNPC, I believe that is the starting point for corruption in Nigeria.

This is a democratic dispensation, Buhari claims to have his O'levels certificate, Nigerians have requested for it but he has been showing his dictatorial tendencies again. Is this what you really want? IF you want to be led by a dictator and have no regard for the rule of law, I cannot be in the same boat with you, This is Nigeria, you can move to North Korea ere such type of leadership is practiced.

lucrownt:
I shall not lie, one old man told me the story of Buhari/Idiagbon regime I felt like crying for this present state of Nigeria. He said that there were high level of corruption, inflation etc before Buhari's Coup. But some months after the take over, everything became normal. Though, it was unfavorable to some elites because it blocked their gates of unclean wealth. I must confess to you that we Nigerians we hate truthfulness. May Almighty God give us the heart of being just. Click Like if you believe that Truth will surely prevail over calumny.
God Bless You
God Bless Nigeria.

Seun:
When I created this thread, I locked it because I didn't want the facts to be distorted by people paid to distort our opinions, whether they be TANoids/GEJites or APC Internet Warriors. However, I believe we've had enough time to digest the information. I'll unlock the thread shortly.

tbaba1234:
Reading Buhari's biography makes me come to a number of conclusions.

1. Buhari genuinely had the interest of the country at heart but his methods were crude. That passion for Nigeria surrounded with brains like fashola and Osinbajo makes a good combination.

2. He had a zero tolerance for corruption but was not as flexible as he could have been. Not surprising since he was a military head of state.


Nigeria needs a corruption fighter and Buhari fits the bill. Fortunately, he.has to do it under a democracy now.

GEJ has no plans for corruption.


3. Buhari will put the fear of God on corrupt officials. Sometimes, that reputation matters.

4. Buhari is imperfect but offers more than Jonathan.

FLYGERIAN91:
He served in the military most of his life and certainly knows what a parachute looks and feels like. If you had sad Jonathan took the school bag, It would have made sence.... Let that little girl check again. Either Someone else took her school bag or her school bag is still there with just one Parachute left.....

Seun,

Thanks for beaming the searchlight on Buhari. You are a great 'JOURNALIST'.

But Seun, we will really appreciate if you can also use your 'journalistic talents' to beam a searchlight on the present government.

Or you don't consider it necessary for Nigerians to REMEMBER that:

1. The Chibok girls are still missing
2. That a dollar to naira is now 210.
3. That our hospitals are under locks and keys.
4. That universities were closed down for 6 months
5. Polytechnics were shut down for 11 months
6. Colleges of education were shut down for several months.
7. Oil theft is at an all time high.
8. Boko haram? They kill people everyday...Just check youtube if you have the heart!
9. Our international reputation? Gone to the dogs...
10. Corruption? Don't even go there! Billions now have wings...After all, Stealing is not corruption!!!

Seun, my point is: we know that Buhari is not perfect. He ruled with force as Head of State. He was ruthess...Yes, we know that!
But how do you expect a man who ruled as HEAD OF STATE to have ruled? It's a no-brainer!

Happily, there's something fantastic about the epistles from the US Library, and that is: BUHARI IS NOT CORRUPT!!! And believe me, he is all we need right now...

Sai Buhari!!!

Cheers

babyosisi:


Obasanjo did not have a reputation as a tyrant during his military rule unlike Buhari
Big difference

naijadeyhia:
Many of the NL members commenting on here were not even born when buhari was head of state. The ruling party knows this and feel that they can ride on their ignorance. Many of them do not have a culture of reading or research neither do they embark on fact finding missions in history. All they depend on is baseless hearsay yet they stand and beat their chest like territorial gorillas and claim to be leaders of tomorrow when they do not even have a today.

Any intelligent youth should know that without today you have no tomorrow besides your control or expectation tomorrow depends on how you manage or handle your today. The focus should be on today and not tomorrow. Get one step right and the rest will follow. Its like construction, your today is the foundation of the building ..... when done right you are sure that whatever you put on that foundation tomorrow will stand. I adjure the youth to please sit down and think about their today and stop with all this nonsense. Imagine some so called future leaders not having any desire to secure their today because they are just too lazy to catch up on the realities on ground. All focus for them is on entertainment and music and such but if i paste a lengthy educative expose that should realign their thought train for good they end up saying its too long a read. How then can they be informed? Imagine someone using what fela sang about as the basis of his own information. smh. My call is to the young and the young at heart....CHANGE!.... and this time...get it right. Stop being a second class citizen in your own country... you deserve better..... your kids deserve better.... God gave you a brain and a mind to assess and make good choices with and he gave you hands to enable you to hold on to your decision and enforce it. Put that powerful mind of yours to work.

Many of you here on NL are without jobs....some for over 5 yrs are still searching for jobs....those who have are not sure they would be retained because of the current economic goings on as many companies are laying off now in order to cushion the effect of the economic pressure.... Frustration and penury everywhere and you still refuse to do something about it? Your vote for CHANGE may be seen as a drop of water in the ocean but its a good drop of water nevertheless and the more the drops the bigger the mass of water. Play your part and so would i and together we can snatch back our joy, the future of our kids and the stability and growth of our businesses and jobs.

I thank God I am not a leader of tomorrow but a controller of today and because of that....my tomorrow and the tomorrow of my kids is sure..

He might not be a parachuter and the design of parachutes has changed dramatically and its now smaller so he might think its a school bag

And its a joke

Lol

danies1941:


Sir, not about asking anybody-I was alive and well too by God's Grace.

I was not talking about public school-I said Private Secondary school HOSTEL-who pays school fees in public school in Nigeria and private school HAS NEVER BEEN FREE anywhere in the world.

The point I was making is when you said people were starving and there was famine. You mentioned famine and compared Nigeria to 1984 Ethiopia -the worst case of famine in the whole world in the last 100 years. That is IMPOSSIBLE. Not in Nigeria-whether under Shagari or Buhari or Jonathan -there is not and has never been Famine in Nigeria and never will be by God's Grace.

Who was starving under Buhari in Nigeria? Who sir? That is just not true. Who can you starve in Nigeria when if you throw corn on the ground along the Lagos -Benin Expressway-without even attending to it-corn will grow-talkless of my village where there is pawpaw, banana, growing freely. Even goats eat vegetable freely on the road side.

An economy where the Naira was 80 kobo to 1 dollar was and is good to me.

I am not one of those who will say that President Jonathan has done nothing-no way. He has made achievements and its left to voters to decide;but the period December 31st 1983 to August 27th 1985 was a glorious period in Nigeria's history-when one was proud to be a Nigerian.

you can as well pick up a long sharp knife and slit you throat if this is how you reason. people like you who can't think or take charge of their own life. . .

If you want a 'like' no need asking people to click it,just say something in favour of buhari or apc,their e-rats will come flooding your comments with likes. But for me,GEJ,until apc learn what is democracy.

agabaI23:


Buhari had no track record of Performance, his honesty was built in the Media

1. The exchange rate was 76k to $1 when he took over, and was 89k to $1 when he left( 17% depreciation under 20 months)

2. The hospital were described as death boxes during his regime such that even if it was open, people will be dying there. The doctors were
arrested and thrown to prison when they protested

3. The universities and Polytechnics were not only locked for along time, ASUU was proscribed. he stopped university feeding and he is now
promising primary school feeding. NANS was proscribed and its leaders jailed.

4. International reputation was worse then

5. Billion took flight in your APC minds. The of $ 20 B talking point has been cut off. Goes to show that the other accusations and monies
brandied as missing are all figment of your imaginations. Goodluck has plugged holes. IPPIS has blocked ghostworkers
6. Many People's businesses closed down.

7. He forced people to sell at ridiculous low price far below the cost price in the name of price control

8. He broke into shops of people and old off their goods at ridiculously low prices

9. His voodoo economics blocked raw materials importations, industries died, jobs were lost, poverty was rife

10. He was the first president to export crude to be refined outside for subsequent importation into the country

11. he has nothing to show for his 20 months in governance

12. He sacked 30, 000 soldiers to cut cost

13. he sacked government workers to cut cost

14. He was clueless

15. N25B was stolen under him as PTF chairman. Obasanjo confirmed it

16. He used his relatives company to execute PTF projects aand acceded all powers to the company sidelining the PTF board

17. $2.8 B was stolen from NNPC under him when the naira was less than 55k to $1

Remember, 20 months as a military dictator, is longer than 48 months in civilian dictatorship
- no house to approve project
- no senate to approve appointments
- no legislature to debate bills
- no unfriendly house to sit PIB
- his words were laws as soon as they exited his lips
- naira was far superior to the dollar even if it was not supposed to be
Say no to backwardness

GEJ till 2019
GEJ till Buhari shows his certificate
GEJ till Buhari can solve questions in Algebra

fyneboi79:
Most of u making comments here were not born when Buhari started his transformation in the 80's,and will most times quote the distorted stories.
I was in existence when Buhari came to power and I can tell you that public sanity which I exhibit till date was learned from W.A.I.(War Against Indicipline)Up till date I find it hard to throw trash out the car or on the road,I find it hard to talk loudly in a public bus or even to engage in malpractice of any kind because of the short time Buhari led this great Nation.
Suffice to say,only corrupt people should be afraid of a Buhari led government because he will put the necessary amenities in place,but the greedy will try to steal more.
I will never fear a Buhari led government because I am an upright man,though I may give up smoking weed,I think its worth the sacrifice for a better tomorrow.

No one can really say Buhari is an anti-corruption man at this point.
The singular act of not just embracing Amaechi, but frolicking with him, even making him of all things, his campaign chairman erodes whatever impression one should have had of him as an anti-corruption agent

scribble:
I dey fear Buhari


It's no wonder he treated Umaru Dikko so, the file on this man for human rights abuses and economic malfeasance is thick in washigton DC.

No wonder he canceled his trip.

I'm sure the Americans will not know why Nigerians are a seemingly suicidal people or perhaps their most learned psychologists have already classified this slave love for master type mentality.

How can I see educated people clamouring for a Buhari presidency because of a buzz word "change" coined by An American PR expert.
Nigerians like most black people including myself can be ignorant, sentimental and non analytical.

Nigerians justice must prevail. The NIGER DELTA must feel like they are a part of the Nigerian project by US rising up on Valentine or whenever not to scuttle the ambition of this man who is trying compared to some other losers us or our ancestors have witnessed before.

Pls be wise, be reasonable.

BERNIMOORE:
you mention one part and ignore the most important part, I was around when buhari was installed through a coup d'e tat, the freedom of human right that is essential to humanity was not there brother, in my presence the WAI officers will come to newspaper stand to whisk away citizens even old men with no job (now promising a million job) with their black maria always following them like towing van, and some are even arraigned without "fair hairing" pls stop painting this man buhari as a saint when he bullied everybody and succeeded in programming your brain with bully of not throwing refuse to the street and the phobia keep coming and repeating itself cmon.
