Sowore is a credible candidate for the office of Nigeria President, he has all the requirements to lead a lawless nation like Nigeria but the fact remains that he can't win 2019 presidential election. I will advice him to keep pushing even after the 2019 general election and not to relent. Whenever the need arises for you to speak against govt ill policies , pls speak and keep more of familiarity with the masses. Glory ahead!

SLBMS:


Us Nigerians have to open our eyes and ask how is it northern voters are more strategically powerful as a voting block. We all know Sowore is best qualified....but what good is it when the northerners have wealonized illiteracy. Sixty million northerners will NEVER vote for a Southerners. It matters not the qualification..they don't care.

pautex:
Hmmm, How I wish you're contesting in a civilized country and not this SHITHOLE called Nigeria. You shall be there one day. Keep it up Bro.

He is a candidate with a terrible sense of judgement as he was a Sai Buhari apologist in the last election.
Persons with a bad sense of judgement should not be allowed to lead a local government let alone a country.

BluntBoy:


Your posts reveal you to be an Atiku apologist.

How come you are not applying this sense of judgement to Atiku as well? If Sowore has a terrible sense of judgement because he appeared to lean toward a Buhari presidency, then Atiku must have a bad sense of judgement too for daring to cross over to APC and support the presidential ambition of Buhari.

madridsta007:


Hahaha!
My post does not reveal me to be an Atiku apologist. In fact, I have no issues with Buhari; he has proven to be what I wrote and predicted him to be, based on clear historical records. Personally, if he out-rigs others and wins again, I will have no issues with it. I think 8 years under a lifeless tyrant is important to help people make electoral decisions based on logic than emotions.

Let me be clear: Everyone who showed a terrible sense of judgement in 2015, Atiku included, does not deserve to lead Nigeria. A good sense of judgement is one of the basic requirement for leadership; I am sure you will agree with this.

BluntBoy:


OK, let us go back to 2015.

I voted for Buhari. According to you, I must have a poor sense of judgement.

So, tell me, who should I have voted for in 2015 to make me come across to you as a person with a good sense of judgement?

madridsta007:


Sorry, Bro, you displayed a terrible and poor sense of judgement. You call yourself a bluntboy; I am sure you will accept a blunt response.
You come across as someone well-read. Lets be honest here: there is nothing being played out by Buhari- totalitarianism, nepotism, disdain for the populace, tribalism, etc, that hasn't been clearly recorded, written, unchallenged about Buhari.

Expecting to vote such a person and expecting change from a septuagenarian, clinically and psychologically impossible, is believing in magic. My friends at the UN, at that time asked me: "how can you hand over a democracy to a military tyrant to watch over?"

Anyone that voted anyone else asides the tyrant displayed a better sense of judgement than those who voted for a military totalitarian with well-known insular views to lead a multi-ethnic, multi-religious country. It is just asinine. No defense sir. I know humility isn't the forte of the black man, but this is very obvious, the poor sense of judgement. Thankfully, many people have publicly accepted their folly.

In 2015 and the years preceding it, I was quite critical of Buhari based on evidenced records, in comparison to today. Today, nothing surprises me. I spend less time critiquing and writing about someone that hasnt surprised me.

BluntBoy:


You have not answered my question.

Who should I have voted for?

abbeyie007:
Tell us more details about his academics and achievements

madridsta007:


Anyone, asides a known tyrant. I thought I made it clear.
Buhari was not the only name on the list, was he?

People would say, "logically, it was between APC and PDP", and they have very good points. However, other names are there on the list. I have not critiqued Sowore because it is "logically between APC and PDP". My critique is his terrible sense of judgement in 2015.

BluntBoy:


Then, you shouldn't be talking about us having poor sense of judgement for voting Buhari in 2015.

The election was between PDP and APC. Casting my vote for any other party would have been a poor sense of judgement since it would invariably be a waste.

You claim Buhari is a known tyrant but there are and there were evidences of GEJ's tyranny as well.

Our federalism itself breeds tyranny since it concentrates more power in the central government.

By your conclusion (except you have never voted yourself), then every voter must have poor sense of judgement for our country to still be in such a pitiable state in the 21st century.

madridsta007:


I recommend that you read Max Siollun's Soldiers of Fortune. You will understand tyranny when you do so. Its clear you don't.
Again, confining yourself to binaries, while understandable, isn't the only option on the table.
In any case, like I earlier said, humility isn't the forte of the black man. If I had the time to argue with you, you will, I am sure, argue that Buhari is a 21st century democrat!

Hence I would not be too disdained if he won. Nigerians need to be taught a harsh lesson.

BluntBoy:


Which other harsh lesson do we need to learn?

We have never enjoyed uninterrupted power supply or very low rate of unemployment or even tremendous show of meritocracy.

I don't need to understand tyranny by reading someone else's opinions that were published in a book.

Going by the popular definition of tyranny, Buhari is not even anywhere close to a tyrant.

Sadly, it was not an "opinion that was published in a book"; it is a history written in literature. Max Siollun's book is just one of the references. There are quite a lot of them.
The lesson I would want is for there to come a time when Nigerians do not regard history with emotive sentiments, but as a serious piece of informative material, where people can read and learn from. Like sane countries do. I have once written a paper arguing that Buhari's short stint was why he was readily accepted as a "reformed democrat." A longer stint with him will help the younger generation appreciate history better and recognize a tyrant when they see one.

A longer stint will make it more difficult, in future, to accept "reformed democrats" and to critically analyse historical anecdotes.
