On resource control: Buhari have consistently said the more Federal Powers in Abuja should be seeded to States (Jonathan have never said it, not even passively). Buhari is a big proponent of having Federal, State and Community Police with varying degree of Jurisdictions. The Penal Code and Police Act will be streamlined to accommodate such restructuring. (It is not in Jonathan's purview). Buhari has consistently stated that ND region needs clean-up and we should refine locally to satisfy local consumption of petroleum products. He promised his administration will build 4 new refineries and revamp the existing ones.

On Self Determination: While every human has the right to do whatever he likes, it does not change the fact that it is a treasonable offense in Nigeria to try splitting this nation. Today in Enugu, under Jonathan, some members of Biafra Zionist Group are detained and on trial. During the civil war, over 2million Ndigbo died (I also lost a sister in that war). So instead of beating up your rusty chest and threatening to sink Nigeria, how about we spend that energy empowering Nigerians, proving good governance and build a peaceful society?

While this election should have been a time to Nigeria to ask the candidates to outline and explain their plans moving forward, Jonathan and his PDP believe the best thing is to attack the person of Buhari. Spend billions smearing his name. Emptying the content of his Military records. Demonizing him, redefining him and misrepresenting the truth about his person.

Am glad APC has maintained and issue-based campaign, while the Jonathan has executed the worst hate campaign in the history of Nigeria against a poltical opponent.

Nigerians cannot reward such. We refuse to be an appendage of Failure, just so that Jim Agbaje and co will not ask their boys to sabotage Nigeria's Economy. #TeamChange.

Lucasbalo:
You are spot on. The main problem Nigeria is facing is all this tribal nonsense . All this people supporting GEJ forgets poverty doesn't discriminate on tribal sentiment . Time for a change before Nigeria sinks into irredeemable level.

Never knew Buhari spent 6years as president not 20months, never knew all a government need to prove as developing a state is to name a university, last I check the Yar-Adua university which is state owned is not in Abuja.

A Government which earned the most in Oil receipts in 5years what the Country earned in 50years yet NOTHING commensurate in terms of INFRACSTRUTURE but gullible and unpatriotic citizens like you driven by ethnic bigotry thinks a MAN who could not deliver when Crude was averaging $100/barrel will now do magic when oil is selling lower than $50 today with no hope of rising again

Do you in your heart of heart like the NIGERIA you live in today?

I live in a society where most revenue comes from Tax receipts, Tourism and Exportation of goods and services. They have no crude yet the country and government work for its people.

How can any reasonable NIGERIAN support this lootocratic government? Do you watch Al-Jazeera with Lai Mohammed and Mike Omeri today? Pls use your senses man, those in power today don't care about you.

Reference:


Tribal problem did not start with Jonathan, the Ijaws or the PDP and will not end with his re-election or otherwise. Nothing I have seen in that report that cannot be attributed to any contestant or any ither region.except the person is just being mischievious.

The problem of Nigeria is a disproportionate balance of power. The rights of some to have power in perpetuity and the fate of others to be in constant subservience. Nigeria cannot work that way. Let the Ijaws enjoy what others have enjoyed since independence, period. When everyone has had his fill then you can start your good governance rubbish.

They only make noise when power is out of their hands. When they regain it they start making excuses why good gobernance cannot work. Nonsense. Are we kids. We have seen enough governments to know what Nigeria is all about.

quixotic:
a government which celebrates criminality and rewards violence.thereby destroying the very essence of our culture. We are growing up in a niger delta where the goverment clearly tells us that violence is more rewarding than honesty and education. We see them in town with their siblings, the Asari, the Ayiris. The tompolos, the ateke toms, the boyloafs, the egberi papas.etc. even their lieutenants were given overseas contracts.while i served nigeria faithfully for 1year @20k a month.and stil have to look 4 jobs while saving to further. That is what jonathan has reduced nigeria to. Evil pays better than good,that is the generation jonathan seeks to nuture, but God forbid and we will CHANGE that.

Not coming from the same tribe alone. Even if jonathan is my uncle, I wont vote that thief.

Machiny:
seems you forget that every penny sold from crude is Shared round the states?....so have asked the state govs wht they have used the money for?because you just hear that Nigeria sold a certain barrel of oil.the federal govt keeps it.its Shared among the states...even when finance minister was warning for rainy days.so the excess crude account will be saved.gov ameachi lead the state govs to opose her.that the money shld be shared.

Your explanation on resource control is wrong. Resource Control is not the same as restructuring of our Federalism.
What you spoke about is restructure of Federalism.
However, even at that, Buhari has never at any time make commitment to what you wrote. And APC has never speak about convening Sovereign National Conference so don't misinform people. Stick to what you hear from Buhari and not some concocted opinion.

egift:
There many reasons why Buhari will lead a Nigeria with a very peaceful Niger Delta, but here are few:
1. Buhari has good intentions for the region and they too will be watch him closely on how he makes decisions that affect them.
2. Buhari is a man of action and not into jesting. If he says AAA, go to the end of the world, it will remain AAA.
3. People of the region are integral part of Buhari's administration. Every State in the region is well represented in APC inner circles.
4. The trouble makers and their foot-lets are well known.
5. Finally, the Niger Delta region have 2 simple choice - To become a war zone OR the Developmental Hub of Nigeria.

But one thing I must make clear, Nigerians will not remain an appendage of Failure just for fear we may hurt the ego and greed of Jonathan and his wife. The region needs to be developed and empowered, that is what Buhari is offering.

God bless Nigeria.

Yes it's true tribal tripe doesn't start with GEJ but that doesn't mean it should continue . Who can be happy with the way Nigeria is being run. A country that is becoming a laughing stock in the western world. A country where meritocracy is shunned for nepotism and corruption . A country that the young populace is going through 70% unemployment and where the infrastructure is a mess. A country of 170 million people still rationing 3000 megawatts of electricity. A country where the elites will fly abroad for medical treatments leaving millions of her citizens to die of treatable diseases. A country shunning out hundreds of thousands of polythecnics and universities graduates every year without prospects for gainful employment . A country where corruption and nepotism is the order of the day. A country where an average citizen lives on less than $2 a day according to United Nation. I can go on but the moral of the story is that I don't care where the president comes from as long as the country moves forward. Your GEJ couldn't be elected an Alderman (Council man ) in Chicago where I reside. Why would Nigeria accepts mediocrity ?. Nigeria deserves better than this set of clueless and ineptly corrupt kleptomaniacs . God help Nigeria and Nigerians because they deserve better than this present leadership .

Quote statistic all you like. Take anti-malaria drugs all you like. As long as you continue sleeping in the midst of bugs, sickness will always be by your side. The farmland to grow those beautiful fruits you imagine Nigeria to become is just not there. Every good farmer starts with the land not the crops. Nigeria is not a fertile land to cultivate lofty ideals as at today. The Nigerian hot-rod needs wheel balancing not necessarily a new driver. But if we wish we can try a new one.

calebo101:
Some people have no idea what Buhari faces if he is mistakenly elected.

I can say it on good ground that it will mark the end of this useless contraption called Nigeria. The parasitic North and some of their slaves will be in for a long thing.

Una go know say BokoHaram dey learn by that time, Go ask Obasanjo and Yar Adua.

If you imply militancy, then you really don't know Buhari and that strength of the Nigeria Nation.

When Buhari assume office, governance and development will commence. If anybody wants to convert his village or community to a war zone, then we will be there to fight it. When you get tired, Buhari will commence the needed development to that same community.

God bless Nigeria.

It is what Nigeria through decades of squandered opportunity has caused not Jonathan. Even when the match wood was smoking and there was peaceful agitation was it Jonathan that hung Saro Wiwa and by so doing snuff out the last hope of dialogue. My man read your history very well and study how nations are formed.

For historical, collective failures Nigeria is just cashing in the cheque. If you think that a change of President or Government without a fundamental change in the State of the Union then five years down the line your cries will even be louder. It is where you are going that matters not the means of transport.

Flets:
If by chance Buhari wins this election, extremely hard times lies ahead for this country.

Definitely, the creeks will go haywire again, Buhari will send the troops to the creeks and together they will set the oil facilities ablaze.

While these persists, the oil producing companies will simply withdraw their personnel from the volatile region and all foreign investment will seize in all sectors.

And even if the troops kill 90% of the militants, it will take just one militant, a dynamite and just one location along the multi- kilometre trunklines to continue to wreck havoc.

Fast forward to 2019, if we remain one country and without a civil war,, we will be an economic wreck with no allocations and salaries, no capital projects, no hope with dollar exchanging for 400 naira and we are worse off than we were in 2015. Cos the truth is that without crude proceeds for now, Nigeria is finished.

And then, we'll be screaming another 'Change' because we would have learnt a bitter lesson in the hands of the Fulanis, Tinubu and Saraki.

And then we will ask.... Why were we this stupid?

For some it is never about competence or ability but his ETHNICITY.

If people within his immediate community cannot feel his presence then I am sorry for all the abuse I've thrown at the president. He wasn't practising NEPOTISM, he just DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO and is grossly INCOMPETENT across the BOARD.

If the YORUBAS ARE COMPLAINING, THE IGBOS ARE, THE HAUSAS ARE, THE IBIBIOS ARE, THE ITSEKIRIS ARE, THE URHOBOS ARE and all other ETHNIC groups are complaining of NEGLECT AND COLLAPSE OR NO GOVERNMENT PRESENCE IN THEIR LOCALITY, then where did he perform since his own OTUOKE community didn't benefit from him?

I need check across the border into Cameroun then maybe he has drunkenly taken all the TRANSFORMATION AGENDA tinz to BAMENDA at least we saw RUEBEN ABATI show some roads in Cameroun as part of GEJ's transformation agenda.
