This mentality needs to stop,,the only reason why we r always bin cheated on is just because we dont know what we want in this country, we r so filled with so many differences,believes,tribal sentiments, selfish gains, religion, orientation and others..
I strongly blv if nigerians can stand in one voice,,it will be hard for this people to rig the election..

Now think about this,,,WHY DO YOU THINK THOSE POLITICIANS SPEND SO MUCH ON ELECTION CAMPAIGN WHEN THEY CAN EASILY OPT FOR LESS SPENDING AND JUST RIG IT?

The only answer i can think of is just the people owns the major say..

....I shake my head in resignation each time i hear apc supporters better known as zombies say they will vote out buhari in 2019 if he does not perform undecided..really??


...The same gullibility,short-sightedness and ignorance that saw supposedly 'sane' folks think that an expired,old,sectional and illiterate bigot called buhari would transform Nigeria and their lives to an eldorado is still at play,inspite of series of glaring chaotic and 'inconclusive' elections that has bedevilled this admin even in mundane elective offices...

...You all had better wake-up cos 2019 election would not be as free and fair as 2015..the era of free and fair elections in Nigeria has gone with GEJ till further notice...book mark that.

same old fvcking irritating question.
Why can't an igbo be governor of lagos even though an igbo man from Imo has not been a governor in Abia.
You talk as if we have not had an Igbo man in that position before. Was Maurice Iwu a Fulani man?
Must the inec chairman come from a particular region?

Even if you are being fooled, must you fool yourselves?
Dear Wadata plaza bingo, read, learn and please shut up.
"SOUTH AFRICA AND NIGERIA, WHICH SHOULD BE THE LARGEST ECONOMY?
As Nigerians, we know about Nigeria while we have little information about South Africa.
1. Daimler, Toyota, BMW, Ford, Arvin Exhust, Corning, Bloxwitch have production plants in South Africa.
2. South Africa manufactures Electronics, Computer Hardwares.
3. South Africa manufactures Military Hardwares and Aircrafts.
4. South Africa manufactures choice wines and spirits with Nigeria as its biggest market in Africa. Next time, before you drink that Wine, look at the label. It will 60% be 'A product of South Africa'
5. South Africa boasts of world class Textile Industries.
6. South Africa manufactures, refurbishes and repairs Ships.
7. South Africa has the largest mining and solid mineral sector in Africa.
What do we produce or manufacture in Nigeria?
The GDP was rebased and we placed ourselves as the largest Economy in Africa without growth in the real sector of the Economy.
We used administrative controls to peg the value of our Currency for years without Fundamentals to back it up.
The administrative controls are removed, the wind blew and our behinds are exposed.
South African Rand is growing in value because of growth in the real sector of the Economy while the value of the Naira plummets because our economic mainstay is in the wilderness and militancy is holding us at the jugular.
We export Crude Oil and import petroleum products. We export raw Cocoa and import chocolate bars and processed Cocoa for packaging by the Nestle of this world. A total drain on our Dollar earnings.
I ask again, what do we produce?
Even if you are being fooled, must you fool yourselves?"
Credits~ Dare Taiwo.
My take: when their heroes were busy enriching themselves selfishly they lacked understanding. Now they ignorantly blame the one who is bent on reviving all our moribund sectors so that soon we would truly be great and match any nation. Well ignorance is free, so is stupidity.

Voting for PMB was not inevitable.

There were over 14 candidates cleared by INEC.
In the US, many people have openly said they'll vote third party rather than Trump or Clinton

Those who voted for PMB wanted him in power( with or without his certificate)


It took him over 6 months to select a cabinet. How is that GEJ's fault? (Even the cabinet sef na wa! )
He has preached diversification of the economy, yet in his first year he has started hustling for oil in the North-East even though previous expeditions have found nothing. How is that GEJ's fault?

YOU ARE SORRY; Because you Voted for a Miracle Performing PMB; A Status Quo PMB and a Corrupt PMB; NO VEX He is None of those. You have No Idea what it takes to Build Nations; You have been Bastardized by the Nigeria Miracle Mindset; You are Weak and Feeble.
ABEGI; It took the United States after the 2008 Financial Meltdown Five Years to get back and they had $787billion Stimulus. It Took Mahatir Mohammed over 4 years after the 1997 Asian Economic Crisis; It took the EU more than a Decade to recover from the Crisis of 2008; Please ask the Singaporeans; The Chinese and all the Developing Countries what it takes to build countries.
We have A Bastardized Nation; A Looted Treasury; A Criminal Political Class; A People Bamboozled to become Saboteurs; A Military Neglected; A People Compromised and a Nation RAPED; Zero Savings; Corruption Driven Economy and you wanted these Problems to have been Solved in Months? MADNESS.
I AM LOVING PMB MORE....I SEE FISCAL SANITY; I SEE A GREAT NATION AGAIN.

Some people need to be reminded that Goodluck Jonathan is gone and he is not coming back. So no need to keep running in circles, looking for excuses to defend Buhari and why Jonathan was not an option. Don't feel threatened.

What should threaten you is an Economy that is moving haphazardly without direction under this regime which have increase hardship and suffering.

So when next you buy a bucket of Garri for 800, a bag of rice for N20,000, fuel for N145 (that might soon become N180), cooking gas for N4,000, Kerosene for N300; keep saying "GEJ wasn't an option".

When your family members lament to you about how things have become worse, tell them "GEJ wasn't an option" because it makes you feel good.

Yorubas be trying very hard to justify their glaring failures. You made a heck of a mistake, bite the humble pie, apologize and move on, mbanu, never! Coming down from their high horse is a onerous task.
Saying a simple "sorry" is an abomination.
Let's tell ourselves the bitter truth, yorubas voted out the last administration cos they didn't like the face of the man in power, they couldn't just fathom any other than a SW or Northerner in power. But just like in the case of Mandela, whose greatness shone brighter after he left power, the same now applies to the immediate past president. Whom God has blessed, no man can cause.
We know you guys made a mistake by preferring a dullard to be ur leader and we're seeing the obvious effect, buh stop with the justification of your inadequacies and errors of judgment, Nigeria has moved on long ago.
And if you still feel haunted by your past action (esp as the hunger is biting harder [boy! no one eats like the yorubas], and you can't reconcile urself with the realities of today) , then knock urself out with this.......

GEJ wasn't an option, you hear me right though I know that you hate hearing it. We put him there in 2011 and he disappointed us. If he had succeeded in coming back the second time, people like you would have gone on self imposed exile by now.
What do you make of the man who was borrowing up and down amidst unprecedented revenue with all the money going into the pockets of people who were lucky to have connection with his administration? The last time I remembered, they were already borrowing to pay federal civil servants.

on the contrary. I like gej but there was so much issues in his style. I do not hate GEJ not once. I hated PDP. 16 years of opportunities gone
Re: Why I Think Voting For Buhari Was Inevitable - Olufunke Phillips by Handsomecole(m): 10:02am On Aug 12, 2016
Nobody hated GEJ but rather his mode of governance. It was visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that Gej's govt and the PDP was corrupt and embezzling our treasury. Nigeria was like a HIV patient that was feeding and looking physically healthy.

It wasn't a mistake voting out GEJ and the PDP, they were never and option and will never be an option come 2019, not with the revelations. There was nothing personal with GEJ.

As for Buhari just like the OP's post indicated we had no choice.

It's about time we Nigerians begin to look at other political parties and personalities and be ready to take the bold step.

God forbid we have a gej vs pmb in 2019.

You have a government that is short of revenue and is not borrowing recklessly like the other admin just to pay salary. And yet PMB is funding projects everywhere and you guys say he has failed. Is it the GEJ gov. that slashed the budget for the entire ministry of work to N11b.
And how on earth can you be singing and dancing because we were told we were the biggest economy in Africa merely after rebasing (recalculated) our economic indices. .

thank you for a bit of reminder. Nigerians suffer from an incredible level of amnesia. That is the major problem, and the major reason politicians take the people for granted.
