buhari remains the greatest living northern politician, even yaradua owned so much respect 4 him, he called him uncle. Buhari is a rare breed, forget sentiments, people dont value what they have untill its lost. When libya lost their so called hated tyrant gadafi, it till date has exposed them to us and their problems.

Wow! Bravo for this piece. You make sense die.

No northern alive can pull the crowd gmb pulls, even ibb failed to get the north support in 2003. Op the question is what makes buhari special from other northerns who see him as a leader of the region. Gmb has something different frm atiku, ibb, abubakar etc and that is integrity, honesty, consistensy, philosophy, leadership, aura of greatness with fear, gallant, upright, fighter of the oppressed.,contempt Etc and this is the characters of muhammed whom islam is built on. Gmb is accesable and lives the live of the common, lives in duara kastina with his own people. Northerns can see atiku, ibb etc as theirs when they are 4 their pockets. Buhari anyday would defeat anyother northerner in a contest of battle for north. Even the opposition use his name to campaign cos of the love he has upnorth. Sule lamido pdp once admitted buhari is honest and could wipe political sins.

What draws the average Northerner to Buhari, besides his integrity and honesty, is God-given. Even his enemies admire him, though in secret.

As someone who did his NYSC in the North, I can tell you that an average northerner is one that keeps his word and hates thieves. Forget about their corrupt elites and politicians, I found more simple and honest people in the north than any other part of Nigeria.

Buhari by his lifestyle and past actions is a man they can identify with and trust. One of my uncles lives in Kaduna and he told me that the common saying in the North is, 'all I need from Buhari is his word and I can go to bank with it'. Since the days of Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa, there has not been any other politician the Northerners trust to keep his words and look after their welfare like Buhari, that is why even those that will vote for PDP governors will vote for Buhari presidency.

Buhari is a man they can trust? Is that all Buhari can offer the north? A worthless piece of intangible human emotion!
This is a man who is in a favorable position as a former leader to influence positive change in the life of his fellow northerners, of whom majority are dirt poor and illiterate. The northerners can do better than this. . .

All he does is contest elections - whenever he loses, his people commit violent acts in his name. Human lives and property is lost and never rebuilt or regained.

That is the height of ignorance and idiocy

First of all they want him because he is a Muislim from Hausa tribe. They want also him because the average Hausa man still believes that a Hausa and a Muslim person and not a Christian (jonathan) who "manovered" his way to the top due to Yar a dua's demise should be leading this country. (After all they were told they are born to lead).
The Hausa man will justify his support for Mr Buhari by saying he has integrity. I notice every Buhari supporter talks of his "integrity" many of this supporters where either not born or still to young to know what Buhari's administration looked like. To me I don't want to say he has or doesn't have integrity but even when I have the a unquestionable integrity but many of my "kitchen cabinet" Is comprised of suspicious and questionable fellows, it leaves more to be desired about who I really am or who I may turn to be.

Assuming he tries to meet the corrupt leaders in the north currently in government to provide school, security of life and they don't cos of their corrupt nature. What should he do?
By the way he is not the only humble leader who even if he speaks he wld not be listened to. We hav shagari, shonekan etc. Wld the current politicians listen to them, if the tell them to do the right it as leaders. Think pls.
God bless Nigeria and every place else.

If you must ask someone to do something important for you, TRUST becomes everything.

The day I stop trusting anyone I hired to do a job I hired him or her for, then his or her sack becomes imminent.

TRUST is key, even in relationships. So earn it, lots of it.

But the question is - did he at any point in time attempt to do these things? The answer is NO. Buhari has never initiated any positive idea, movement or organization to better the lives of northerners. None is on record.

Like I said to someone earlier, trust is not an all-encompassing verb or term. You can trust Buhari not to be corrupt or loot funds but can he entrusted with leadership - a trait or quality he does not possess.

Can they trust Buhari to improve their living conditions? The answer is NO. Buhari is not trustworthy in that aspect.

As they say in my side ''one rich man among 10 poor people is poor himself''

one man of integrity among dozens of corrupt people is himself corruption. It then means he himself is corrupt as well as they say GEJ is corrupt. The question is, can you now drive out corruption with corruption?

A wise and typical Nigeria politician will mke good use of corrupt people if dat is d solution to get to d top (no party in Nigeria has saints as all its members) . When u get dere den u show ur real person.. At least Late Yar'a dua belongs to pdp ( na inside black pot white pap dey come) u can further read about Ladoja, Akala and the Late Baba Adedibu in Oyo state so u know what actually transpired btw dem.. Most of this corrupt pple are d ones dat will canvass and get u more votes in d various states,local govt or areas dat v benefited from dem in one way or anod.. So the saying goes : Politics is a dirty game. Atimes u don't v much choices to make

You don't need to build castle for your people before they love or appreciate you. We appreciate people for different reasons. I guess you want the northerners to come forward to be telling you the number of roads Buhari constructed or number of airports he built.
His simplicity, honesty, integrity, sincerity and exemplary life, may mean nothing to you especially in the Nigeria of today where f.o.ols are celebrated as leaders but to others, they may not need more than this to become your followers.

The north will always vote for a northern candidate and we know it, even though some people pretend about it.

I am not talking about infrastructure, I am talking about educational programs, agricultural projects...... I have been to the north and the level of poverty is just too high,even in delta state some prominent politicians have some programs that is aimed at educating and empowering the youths,it is not funded by the government and these guys are not in position.....you cannot tell me you are a grassroot leader and you haven't done something that will put the people who are your followers in the right direction...there are very few politicians in the north who have such programs,even as much as I don't like ibb he has his own empowerment program in Niger state so someone should tell me what this man have really done as a grassroot politician
