the hallmark of a true Northerner. Always hollow headed. Simple political debate is hard for you to comprehend. Just go back to primary school and stop trying to have carnal knowledge of that 10 year old girl . Maybe that will help your dull brain. grin grin grin

Olodo rabata, show me how debating or ability to debate becomes a prerequisite to being a democrat or go and pack for one side; because you are too dull to engage me - I don't deal with shallow minded ppl, send me your teacher instead.

I think you and your camp are not being fair here. Its not about people not knowing me in my community or village; that's not the issue here. The issue is a presidential candidate, who has promised to transform Nigeria into a paradise in 4 years, has consistently refused to come up to the podium and have a direct debate with the person whose office he now seeks to occupy. That's the issue here. Instead, he has hidden behind the eloquence and brilliance of his vice and then occasionally make speeches not more than two minutes long.

APC folks are not been fair and sincere here.

Buhari is popular because he was a onetime military president of the world's most populous black nation. Nothing more. He didn't do anything really worthy of all the accolades the media is heaping on him. If anything, he damaged our diplomatic relations with the UK due to his obvious role in the DIkko Affair.

I'm well known in my family, my church, my workplace and my community, and I have my certificate INTACT.
Being fair in what exactly. He is an illiterate yet know worldwide. If Dikko saga is the way to bring criminals to book, then am in full support. A woman traffic hard drugs and when she is kill you blame buhari for being wicked. You have your certificate and yet you have never being interviewed by AIT. Buhari debated in 2011. Where was GEJ then?

All those screaming high up to the heavens that GMB was a former military 'dictator' should remember that a former President, OBJ was a military ruler. Even the present Senate President was formerly in the military. Did they still display their military traits in a democratic setting? Let's think pragmatically here, no sentiments. Our present president could not address the major problem affecting Nigeria today. In my own opinion, it is CORRUPTION. It is corruption in its many forms (bribery, nepotism, fraud, embezzlement) that has adversely affected the economy of Nigeria. Now I'm not an advocate of GMB, but I believe if you can't tackle a problem, leave it to someone who can (that is if you have the interests of the country at heart). GEJ has tried his best, let him give someone else the opportunity to tackle the problems facing this country, and if that person can't, with 2019 by the corner we can always elect someone else.

If you know who you are on a social media trading words with, you will be asking for an autograph or some stipends but being popular is not why we are here and popularity should be applauded only when it's positive.

If your criticism lacks objectivity, then I shouldn't be trading words with a low life like you.

Your arguments clearly lack intelligence and it's a clear example of agberoish expression hence words like "who know you", "who you be". grin grin grin I can't help but laugh @ you depravity.

Really. When Dumbo who never even wanted to be a politician was being persuaded by Alamieyesgha to be deputy governor, this Buhari was oiling his wheels to challenge Obj for the presidency. He challenged Obj, Yaradua and now Jona for office. You have to be blind, cowardly, or un reasoning if you don't see that as evidence of somebody who has something to offer. The man who became governor accidentally and president accidentally is more likely the one who never had anything to offer. An accidental leader confused by the office and managed by a strong un intelligent wife but highly professional Godfathers and God mothers. Jonathon is the fakest president in history and you know it.

I already told you he is known worldwide because he was a former dictator military president of Nigeria. That all. So Buhari was right in trying to have Dikko smuggled from the UK to stand trial for corruption charges?

The Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Muhammadu has said, if he wins the March 28 poll, he will ensure strict adherence to the constitution, saying he is now “a converted democrat”.

Mr. Buhari made the pledge while addressing a media parley in Abuja today.

“I want to assure you that Nigerian constitution will be adhered to,” he said.

He reminded the audience of the controversial Decree 4 promulgated in 1984 while he was military Head of State.

He said there will be no such controversy should he win the presidential election.

“I cannot change the past but I can change the present and future. Dictatorship goes with military which made possible decree four.

“I am a former military leader. Note the emphasis on former. But I am now a converted democrat.
“I give full assurances to Nigeria media will be free under an APC government,” he said.

Asked if he was prepared to apologise for jailing journalists as military ruler, the Director General of Mr. Buhari’s campaign and Governor of River State, Rotimi Amaechi, prevented the former general from responding, saying “the general has said he could not change the past”.

Mr. Buhari said he was not ready to participate in the presidential debate with President Goodluck Jonathan, standing for re-election as the candidate of Peoples Democratic Party.

He argued that there is no basis for debate since the record of the PDP and Mr. Jonathan in government is public knowledge.


Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar attended the media event.

hahaha, public knowledge is a strong reason not to debate as if foreign presidential hopefuls that debate don't have people with access to information. I wonder what Buhari's excuse would be4 refusing to appear before oputa's panel,guess it was all public knowledge too.

The white man which we copy his democracy today don't run tail in between legs @ the mention of debate. If Chatam house was so good for a speech to be given in, why can't we emulate the goods democracy.

PDP was going to rig the debates by showing Jonathan the prepared questions and embarrassing Buhari with sneaked questions. The information came to the APC from the topmost levels in the PDP itself which is to show that Jonathan is just fighting a losing game. Anyway Buhari refused to participate and it did not affect his public ratings. So if this happens in the US (a candidate refusing to debate) and it dos not negatively affect the the rating of that candidate then you know that is your man(or woman) is next President..I think that is true of Nigeria as well.
