egift: 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. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Lucasbalo: 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. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Reference: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 . 1 Like 1 Share |

quixotic: 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. |

I was in the bus one day where group of adults were arguing and an elderly man said somthing that annoyed me greatly. He said GEJ stayed 6yrs in office serving the north and honestly what they said is the truth. He maintained all the federal road in the North while the federal roads in the SW and SE are still ongoing. I was in Niger state last year, majority of the buses and keke had sure-p written on them. I have never seen a sure p keke or bus anywhere in the east. More federal schools are situated in the north than anywhere in the south infact I have to say that GEJ has been a slave tothe Gambari but what did he get in return? Why are they bent on removing the only man that has truly worked for them? Look clearly and you will see. As for the yorubas remove Osibanjo and see them queuing massively behind GEJ. The truth is majority will vote for " Own". Put an Igbo man as deputy to Buhari and watch how a yoruba man will believe truly that Buhari is too old. 2 Likes |

Machiny: Don't mind all these simplistic comparisons. Are tax receipts, tourism receipts and exports he states not a form of self determination. Are they not a product of local competencies and a mark of power devolution. Was Nigeria not that way before big oil. Is Jonathan the cause of the burden of Nigeria shifting to one axle alone. What was their response to the National Confab. What was their response to the PIB. Abegi make I hear word. Let me see the President that will wean us of oil and onto self determination through taxation and last more than one term in office. The chap doesn't know this country. |

Lucasbalo: 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. 1 Like |

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 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.

pendy79:Well said but lets not pretend not to know that from the onset we have being divided along ethnic lines. We are never united because of our ethnic affilliations. So my take is autonomy for the regions or blocs because the federal system feeds on our disunity. In Nigeria you find the likes of Shagari (a grade 2 teacher) being favoured over an Awolowo ( an intellectual pabullum) to manage the affairs of a hundred million people. A clueless Gej, An old Granpa Buhari coming back. An Ayo Fayoshe whose only program is stomach infrastructure. Let us go back to the drawing board there is mamoth corruption in the country and even Gmb can not stop it. The police can not do without bribe no matter how much they get as salaries. In Nigeria everybody wants to get rich quick either hook or crook. |

pendy79: In six years GEJ supposed to perform miracles and rescue Nigeria from the rot of over 50 years heaped on it by mostly Northern leaders, including Buhari. For the first time in the annals of her history Nigeria elected a president from the Niger Delta, where 90% of Nigeria oil wealth is derived from. And for the first time in her history Nigeria witnessed unprecedented violence in the Northern region of the country in the name of Boko Haram. Some Northern leaders including the opposition leader stated in clear terms, a fight against BH, is a fight against the North. Any reasonable observer will only conclude that BH is a political tool designed to make the North ungovernable, and make first South-South President appear weak. The fact of the matter is this, the Nigeria oil wealth belongs to the people of the Niger Delta, and militants in the area can declare war on oil workers, if they believe that they are been marginalized. And it will happen, if the Hausa North liaise with the Yoruba South to deny Jonathan a second term. We will then begin to see the coming to fruition of the prophecy by own Igbo Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu. A new Biafara State may be born. Nigeria vote wisely. Nigeria may fall like Sudan or Somalia if care is not taken. |
