What mercy? This is the kind of person some people want to become president. What did he do from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985 when he had the chance to rule Nigeria.

Buhari has no close friend from any other ethnic group in Nigeria apart from his own. The best he will say is that his driver is Igbo.

The only known achievements of Buhari was
killing of Nigerian youths, Yoruba inclusive and
jailing their journalists and politicians.

Unfortunately, most of the journalists that
suffered unjustly in the 18 months rule of buhari
has died. If all of them were alive today, they
would set the west on fire for any of you
mentioning the name buhari. Awolowo did not
deserve to be de-humanized by a poorly trained,
ill educated fulani soldier. He gave the Yorubas a
pride of place in the Nigerian project. Most of you
and your fathers went to school because Awolowo
made it possible. #gej d way forward

True Nigerians should note these facts:

-GMB attacked progressive movement during his
regime.

-Buhari insulted Chief Obafemi Awolowo,
surrounded his house with troops and seized his
international passport and shortened his life by
denying him a medical trip overseas.


-“The APC presidential candidate incarcerated
governors of Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN and also
cancelled the Lagos Metroline Projects.


-GEJ has made remarkable progress in areas of
economy, democracy, human rights and rule of
law in the "face of politically promoted
insurgency,”


Buhari is indeed non-progressive! #GEJ4Naija

If Buhari is a terrorist, who is Jonathan? A f.o.o.l celebrated as a leader. A good representative of what incompetent represented. A man who redefine corruption, and break the law of the land with impunity.

who is a progressive?

A progressive' goal is to secure the real and not nominal rule of the people.

I have argued many times that Nigeria lacks ideologies. The only people I can tag with an ideology is the upper echelon of lagos APC. They are in reality,centre right politicians otherwise known as conservatives. Nothing bad with that.
An individual like aregbesola is a leftists. Conservative in many ways but has earned the tight to be called a progressive with his policies .
On the other hand, most of the others are simply usual African crooks who should never have been anywhere near the seat of power. They are simply the usual African materialistic kleptomaniacs .
OKUNRUNMU IS DEFINITELY NOT A PROGRESSIVE.


Mr. J.A. Froude (100 years ago)

Two kinds of men… appear as leaders in time of change. … On one side there are the… men who have no confidence in the people—who have no passionate convictions—men who believe that all wholesome reforms proceed downward from the educated to the multitudes; who regard with contempt, qualified by terror, appeals to the popular conscience or to popular intelligence.

Opposite to these are the men of faith—and by faith I do not mean belief in dogmas, but belief in goodness, belief in justice, in righteousness.… They are not contented with looking for what may be useful or pleasant to themselves; they look by quite other methods for what is honorable, for what is good, for what is just. They believe that if they can find out that, then all hazards, in spite of all present consequences to themselves, that is to be preferred?

When the air is heavy with impostors, and men live only to make money,… and the kingdom of heaven is bought and sold, and all that is high and pure in man is smothered by corruption, fire of the same kind bursts out in higher natures with a fierceness which cannot be controlled; and confident in truth and right, they call fearlessly on the seven thousand in Israel who have not bowed the knee to Baal to rise and stand by them.

They do not ask whether those whom they address have wide knowledge of history or science or philosophy; they ask rather that they shall be honest, that they shall be brave.… They know well that conscience is no exceptional privilege of the great or the cultivated, that to be generous and unselfish is no prerogative of rank or intellect.

Any educated or and independent thinking Yoruba man without crowd mentality
will NEVER vote Buhari. It's a known fact Buhari have a history of turturing Yorubas and sending them to prison. Even Abacha had more love for Yorubas than Buhari...FACT.

List of people jailed by Buhari under different trumped up charges.

60% of them Yorubas and 97% of them from Southern Nigeria. Buhari had no regard for southerners (especially Yorubas).

1. Fela Anikulapokuti (Fela, a musician was jailed for getting paid about £7,000
after he held a show in London). This's like jailing 2Face because he went to
London and hosted a show and brought in £7,000 to Nigeria.
2. Chief Bisi Onabanjo
3. Chief Bola Ige
4. Chief Adekunle Ajasin
5 Chief Sam Mbakwe
6. Chief Ambrose Alli
7. Chief Apa Aku
8. Chief Jim Mwobodo
9. Chief L Kayode Jakande
10. Chief Alex Ekwueme
11. Chief Obafemi Awolowo (house in Apapa buggled and looted) Were these
the theives?. Were these the troublers of our Nation.
Meanwhile:
Shehu Shgari (house arrest).
Akinloye (resting in London).
Chief Akinjide (resting in london).
Uba Ahmed (allowed to elope with our money to the USA.
Umaru Dikko (cooling self in London. Later his forceful extradition was
sabotaged by insiders.
On on on and on...

That was how Buhari fought corruption. His interpretation of corruption is that
only people from southern Nigeria are corrupt.

95% of those he jailed remained the symbol of democracy till they died. And
it's their many years of labour on democracy that he wants to reap.
Buhari wants to reap where did not sow and I still can't believe that Yorubas
could easily be deceived.

NB: I was still young but I know Buhari ruled with maximum Brutality like Abacha. I need more names of people jailed by Buhari and their offence. If you
have them please post here.

Nigerian Politics....

Right now....the oil price is falling, the naira is effectively devalued, there are no more extra funds in the treasury, we may not be able to fund the budget, we have just been informed by the Power Minister that he lied when he promised us light a few years ago, we are still having high unemployment, we have a serious crisis in the North, we have an election comming up that may not end well......and all these people can talk about is whether Buhari is a progressive or not.

Comming up on Nigerian Political Discourse....

Is the colour of Buhari's cap indicative of his stand on Sharia?

Is the fact that Buhari wears glasses indicative of the level of his intelectual development?

Is the fact that Buhari talks with an accent indicative that he will find it difficult to chat with the Queen of England.

Is my brain on fire?

Wake me up when we are ready to talk about serious things in this country.It is a shame that the ruling party in particular cannot tell us what they have planned for the future...instead we get silly schoolboy jokes about the opponent.

Only children are ignorant of this fact. Those calling Buhari progressive either don't know the meaning of progressive or have ulterior motives.

What can one point to as a proof of Buhari's progressive tendency through out his reign for almost 2 years?
