“Its payback time” said one of them.
“Now he will know how it feels like when they were calling GEJ names”, said another.

Their chief protagonist even opened a thread trying – hopelessly – to explain away the actions if his minions by highlighting quotes purported made by the opposition against his principal.

Which brings me to the question: Is this what the heat against PMB is all about? Payback?? IS that it?? Is that the essence of opposition??

Let us for the sake of argument consider the allegation of name-calling against GEJ: A careful analysis of the trend will show it certainly was not as early into his (GEJ's) tenure as what obtains now with PMB. (just for the records, the latter is exactly 16 days into his tenure.)

GEJ was sworn into power as substantive president on May 6th 2010. I can clearly remember him riding on unprecedented support and goodwill from virtually every section of the country. Indeed all the quotes from Barcanista are from 2013 upwards, almost 4 years into his tenure.

So, other than inconsequential slips here and there, there really nothing the current occupant doing wrong, as aptly captured by nollywoodbabe https://www.nairaland.com/2378246/sadly-enough-nothing-criticize-president#34746776. Their only platform for criticism is that its payback time.

HABA!!! That you hate the country so much and will be willing to sink it come what may ought not to preclude your ability to be at least marginally reasonable in your antagonism. Please!

Such petty, shamelessly overt vindictiveness is fiendishly unpatriotic. It is evil.

I’m not given to repertoires, so I’ll just end with this: PMB is not the president of APC, or the North. He is the president of the Federal Repulic of Nigeria. It behoves us to give him all the support.

GOD Bless Nigeria!

Wsdm:
The more you open threads to pacify their vituperation the more justified their intentions are. My take is to let them be. All that concerns objective observers are the positive ways this government should drive the ship of the nation. If he fails, be ready to criticise him and if he performs be ready to give him kudos. But giving credence to people who deliberately hate out of no substance gives me reasons to be worried.

midolian:


God bless you, OP. They are only being childish.

No one called GEJ names until he wasted years misruling us..Ostriches shouldnt get angry when you say they have long necks, cos in the real sense, their necks are long.

I thinks its jst better we ignore them since their minds are made up on revenging, regardless of how Buhari performs.

xandy84:
I am not a fan of either APC or PDP and also completely against name calling but APC as a political party when way too far calling GEJ names and always against anything about him as a person. Buhari needs to get his house in order.. Calling Germany west Germany at the present time of the century is worse than dumbness... Am sure every pages of newspapers would feature such story if GEJ made a silly mistake of calling Germany west Germany..

wunmi590:
Nonsense thread, where were you when they were calling GEJ names, hypocrisy of the highest order.

If you don't know what to use your time for, you better go and carry broom and sweep from Nigeria to Togo

omenka:
Op you worry over trivial issues- concerned over kids acting their age and adults acting like kids.

Two advice for you:

1. Ignore them when they throw insults. They always will. Asking them not to is like urging them on.

2. When they pretend to be intelligent and bring up debatable issues, engage them.

And you'd live happily ever after!

"but APC as a political party when way too far calling GEJ names and always against anything about him as a person.(BECAUSE OF APC) "

Buhari needs to get his house in order.. Calling Germany west Germany at the present time of the century is worse than dumbness...

"Am sure every pages of newspapers would feature such story if GEJ made a silly mistake of calling Germany west Germany."(BECAUSE OF APC)

genearts:
What they don't know is that GEJ was given a name that perfectly described him at a time when Nigerians had given up on him

I don't have any regret calling GEJ clueless and I will never.....

They can keep calling PMB names.... IDGAF because I knw he will put them to shame, and if PMB fails to, I will also join in the bashing....

LRNZH:


When we called GEJ "clueless, "it was after 4 years of blunders and a direction-less govt.

GEJ will always be remembered as a "clueless" but amiable president and that is history that cannot be rewritten.

plendil:


Did you hear anyone GEJ names two weeks into his tenure?

Was it not when he started misbehaving and displaying such crass ineptitude that the name calling began?

PMB just into power!! Give him a chance!!

LouisVanGaal:
Wunmi590 and Xandy84..pls give me links to monikers her opening threads on NL as at May 2011 to insult GEJ..or ACN chieftains doing the same..if you CANT provide them, then STFU!!! Xandy84, u said from day 1, pls am waiting...The Name calling of a thing became prominent here on NL as at 2013 (Aug/Sept) after the Gov Forum election and etc..
My grouse is that even before PMB was sworn-in this act of crass stupidity has been making rounds...
My happiness is that we have a matured president..as we saw how he conducted himself during all hate docs and propagandas, he NEVER blinked nor cowed in..and you know the end result...
**Modified**...Particularly you xandy84 for saying buhari calling Germany, west/ germany is worst than dumbness? I look at your type and laff! Are you aware that sometime in President Bush era, he once called Egypt the capital of Africa..but nothing happened!! It's ONLY low-lifes that waste their time learning the history of others, but dont know anything about themselves...i bet you know at least 20 states out of 50 US states..but a brilliant American doesnt know more than Lagos or Abuja..were you not around last year, were a whole CNN pointed Niger on map to be Nigeria?? Why are major powerhouses courting china and india today in terms of business and investment? This is because they went into a 'seclusion' and discovered their inner strenght rather than waiting for others to define them...An Average chinese man can tell you their history of emperors and king and philosophers with a blink..but can you say or trace your origin with aptness? Nawa o! Or can Angel Merkel pronounce names like Kwankwaso or Gwagwalada
