Democracy dividends CANNOT be obtained through ACN - Autocrats Congress of Nigeria- old men imposing their wives, kids, in-laws, relations and maybe even househelps on their party members.  Progress CANNOT come from ACN- Alliance for Corruption in Nigeria with Tinubu as their leader and Achike Udenwa as frontliner.  Shine your eyes, identify, scrutinise, select and mobilise support for your national and state assembly legislator candidates on individual merit basis NOT on party basis. |

[b]The Nigerian nation against General Buhari By Wole SOYINKA This intervention has been provoked, not so much by the ambitions of General Buhari to return to power at the head of a democratic Nigeria, as by declarations of support from directions that leave one totally dumbfounded. It would appear that some, myself among them, had been overcomplacent about the magnitude of an ambition that seemed as preposterous as the late effort of General Ibrahim Babangida to aspire yet again to the honour of presiding over a society that truly seeks a democratic future. What one had dismissed was a rash of illusions, brought about by other political improbabilities that surround us, however, is being given an air of plausibility by individuals and groupings to which one had earlier attributed a sense of relevance of historic actualities. Recently, I published an article in the media, invoking the possible recourse to psychiatric explanation for some of the incongruities in conduct within national leadership. Now, to tell the truth, I have begun to seriously address the issue of which section of society requires the services of a psychiatrist. The contest for a seizure of rationality is now so polarized that I am quite reconciled to the fact it could be those of us on this side, not the opposing school of thought that ought to declare ourselves candidates for a lunatic asylum. So be it. While that decision hangs in the balance however, the forum is open. Let both sides continue to address our cases to the electorate, but also prepare to submit ourselves for psychiatric examination. The time being so close to electoral decision, we can understand the haste of some to resort to shortcuts. In the process however, we should not commit the error of opening the political space to any alternative whose curative touch to national afflictions have proven more deadly than the disease. In order to reduce the clutter in our options towards the forthcoming elections, we urge a beginning from what we do know, what we have undergone, what millions can verify, what can be sustained by evidence accessible even to the school pupil, the street hawker or a just-come visitor from outer space. Leaving Buhari aside for now, I propose a commencing exercise that should guide us along the path of elimination as we examine the existing register of would-be president. That initial exercise can be summed up in the following speculation: “If it were possible for Olusegun Obasanjo, the actual incumbent, to stand again for election, would you vote for him?” If the answer is “yes”, then of course all discussion is at an end. If the answer is ‘No’ however, then it follows that a choice of a successor made by Obasanjo should be assessed as hovering between extremely dangerous and an outright kiss of death. The degree of acceptability of such a candidate should also be inversely proportionate to the passion with which he or she is promoted by the would-be ‘godfather’. We do not lack for open evidence about Obasanjo’s passion in this respect. From Lagos to the USA, he has taken great pains to assure the nation and the world that the anointed NPN presidential flag bearer is guaranteed, in his judgment, to carry out his policies. Such an endorsement/anointment is more than sufficient, in my view, for public acceptance or rejection. Yar’Adua’s candidature amounts to a terminal kiss from a moribund regime. Nothing against the person of this – I am informed - personable governor, but let him understand that in addition to the direct source of his emergence, the PDP, on whose platform he stands, represents the most harrowing of this nation’s nightmares over and beyond even the horrors of the Abacha regime. If he wishes to be considered on his own merit, now is time for him, as well as others similarly enmeshed, to exercise the moral courage that goes with his repudiation of that party, a dissociation from its past, and a pledge to reverse its menacing future. We shall find him an alternative platform on which to stand, and then have him present his credentials along those of other candidates engaged in forging a credible opposition alliance. Until then, let us bury this particular proposition and move on to a far graver, looming danger, personified in the history of General Buhari. The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order. Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry. Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear. The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again. Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media – those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed – military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma! Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility. And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas. The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent. Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror. The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense ofresponsibility and patriotism. Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.? One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets. Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir - to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiated. I beg read the mail above. GEJ all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/b] |

What is new in Buhari and Ribadu ?? As long as a man is proving self righteous I can't vote for him. WhenBuhari was the PTF chairman, most of the projects where lumpsided, he was military director of NNPC 2.8 BILLION vamoosed. Ribadu is still to account for 20 billion collected during his days. I will vote for GEJ, vision to give us light, Petroleum bill, local content, calabar to Lagos coastal road. What else do will need atleast for once we know where we are going. God bless Nigeria! |

FOR THOSE STILL IN DOUBT OF GEJ INCOMPETENCE AND FEARS READ: http://thenationonlineng.net/web3/news/29563.html FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO KNOW WHAT BUHARI/BAKARE HAVE TO OFFER, CHECK THEIR MANIFESTO: http://buhari4change.com/?page_id=71 I give my vote for the Buhari/Bakare team. I see this man Buhari in a new light: he seems to like a Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (http://www.elombah.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4464:why-i-will-vote-for-buhari-lamido-sanusi&catid=57:sanusi-lamido-sanusi&Itemid=79). Tunde Bakare to Buhari will be a re-enactment of the Buhari/Tunde Idiagbo 1984 team. The only difference being that this is a democracy and thus promising better governance. I want to thank the moderators for posting this on the front page and to all Buhari 2011 supporters, don't be discouraged: we are almost there. All GEJ followers pls be informed: shine your eyes and don't mortgage your future on mere sentiments. For those yet to decide, like Lourash, pls read the manifestos and make informed decisions. I agree with Papabrown on one account only and that is that removing GEJ from Aso Rock will be a tall order but IT WILL BE DONE. |

That Soyinka's article should have been better titled Soyinka against Buhari and not The Nigerian Nation against Muhhamadu Buhari. I can understand the pain of the military era, but that was the military era, not now. If Buhari had not stepped in, there would have been no Nigerian nation today. Awolowo said there was just N500,000 in the nation's treasury. The situation then required what they got and they should even thank there stars that many of those corrupt politicians were not summarily executed like Rawling did in Ghana just two years before that time. |

NIGERIA NEEDS MORE THAN GOODLUCK! The man BUHARI! • Minister For Petroleum and Natural Resources [March 1976 – June 1978] • Governor of North-Eastern State of Nigeria [August 1975 – March 1976] • Military ruler of Nigeria for 1yr 8months • As GOC, his Armoured Brigade successfully routed out Chadian solders from Nigerian territory in 1983 even chasing them as far as 50km into Chadian territory. • Buhari was selected to lead the country by middle and high-ranking military officers after a successful military coup d'etat that overthrew the visionless civilian President Shehu Shagari • His government successfully initiated a public campaign against indiscipline known as "War Against Indiscipline (WAI)." His team even as a Military Ruler 1. Head of State Muhammadu Buhari 1984–1985 2. Chief of Staff Tunde Idiagbon 1984–1985 3. Defense Domkat Bali 1984–1985 4. Agriculture Bukar Shuaib 1984–1985 5. Trade Mahmud Tukur 1984–1985 6. Communications A Abdullahi, Lt Col 1984–1985 7. Education Yarima Ibrahim 1984–1985 8. Finance Onaolapo Soleye 1984–1985 9. Abuja Mamman Jiya Vatsa 1984–1985 10. Health Emmanuel Nsan 1984–1985 11. Internal Affairs Mohammed Magoro 1984–1985 12. Foreign Affairs Ibrahim Gambari 1984–1985 13. Minister of Information Sam Omeruah 1984–1985 14. Transportation Abdullahi Ibrahim 1984–1985 15. Energy Tam David-West 1984–1985 16. Justice Chike Offodile 1984–1985 17. Works Patrick Koshoni 1984–1985 Buhari was overthrown in a coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida on August 27, 1985 and other members of the ruling Supreme Military Council (SMC) ostensibly because he insisted on investigating allegations of fraudulent award of contracts in the Ministry of Defense. If that investigation had been carried through, it is believed that many senior military officers would have been implicated. Buhari's insistence on this investigation was to become his fait accompli. A Palace Coup was planned and carried out by Gen Ibrahim Babangida and some senior military officers whose necks were heading for the chopping block following the conclusion of the investigation Buhari served as the Chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, a body created by the Government of General Abacha, and funded from the revenue generated by the increase in price of petroleum products to pursue developmental projects around the country. His transparent and efficient handling of this agency endeared him to Nigerians. |

I am so disappointed at every Nigerian but the fact is I am not against anybody but I do reserve my choice of candidate to myself. Why are we so ignorant? Why are we so illiterate? Why are we quick to forget the past? PDP have really thrown this nation to serious outrage, are they the ony ones that can do the job. I believe not and we keep suffering, I doubt so many of you have not visited my school in the F.C.T. OMG you won't believe that its also an epitome of corruption itself. I am not talking about who is right but who is not right but I totally agree that with excessive lobbying in PDP Goodluck has nothing to offer us. They've done it before and they will do it again. I want change and a change in leadership at this point is the best for me. |

BB2011 would have been a non issue now if this inept and jaundiced President who had almost more than one year to stamp his authority on governance and at least show us what he is all about and obviously give us an idea of what the next four years will look like with him as president and he failed comprehensively. That is the reason people are disillusioned and those that are discerning have come to the conclusion that with Jonathan as president it will be business as usual. What has Jonathan presidency achieved in the past one year? Absolutely nothing.Instead it has been nothing but an unmitigated disaster,lies,deceit,half truths,stupid and inept policies. And his worst crime of all is that he is representing PDP,A party in my opinion has been the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria. |

I really know that your reason are baseless and illogical. Buhari and ribadu? which one is new between them. What will you say about the party of imposition and hypocracy. The party that impose an NYSC student to represent a constituency in one of the local govt in lagos state. People have really woken up, The era of voting for party is gone, we are ready to vote for personality and pedigree. Pls vote PERSONALITY AND NOT PARTY |

What I don't understand is why GEJ should be putting Nigeria into debt after OBJ has successfully removed our name from the list of debtors' nations. We're borrowing, foreign reserve is empty. 2010 budget was prepared based on $67 per barrel of oil, with oil now around $100 per barrel, we couldn't save, we borrow, we consume foreign reserve yet new federal political offices are being created plus numerous committees. Corruption is also on the increase. Yet everybody is shouting GEJ. Are these the type of leaders you want? Is this the type of life you want for your country? Is this the type of society you pray your children should grow up where people are obsessed with large sum of money they won't even know how to spend it? A society where every index shows signs of failing society. A society with resources but no wealth. |

"IBB is my Mentor" says GEJ in Minna during campaign. Has been trying to negotiate with Atiku, dinning with Amadu Ali, Tony Anennih, and all other PDP Mugus offered Northern Emirs oil blocks that belong to Nigeria to gain their support- and yet you still expect something good from this man? you know, you GEJ suppporters are deceiving your selves, or you dont want anything good to come to Nigeria for the benefit of you and your children or sentiments . What has GEJ done since he came into power 8months ago? Murtala was able to change Nigeria in 6months and this is felt up till today, so dont eeven bring up the issue of time. BB for life. Better join the winning party the Only Petroleum minister and former president that doesnt own a petrol station no 1Naira investment in oil and gas, owns only 1 house in Kaduna, mention it. Brave enough to propose removal of immunity clause. BB anytime. |

I read these so called 10 point reason or 10 points agenda on why not to vote for Gej I dey laugh  real laugh brosie.So Ribadu is the right man 20 billion of Tafa Balogun loot in alien account isnit? Buhari mr Sharia mentor is the right guy isnit? Mr man please get another point a better one so I can reason with you. ACN is my own party but will never vote for Ribadu because he is yet to clear himself of allegation against him so if he is pointing one finger to PDP the remaining four is facing him. He reufused till date to tell us why he refused to declared all his asset. Today Tinubu was suppose to be a wanted man is now his political God father spending billions to make Ribadu the ticket bearer of our party and you are saying GEJ is this PDP is that, and what are my party ACN that is hijack by Tinubu even to the point Fashola can not elect his commissioner and you are here given 20 points are they not all same. Or Buhari who is a clean guy I respect him for not be corrupt man but because of his hard bent pretending sharia dream I dont trust him a second I know if he win Bakare will not last with him then a new armagedon republic of extremist will arise freely and put Nigeria again in the front page of world newspaper for error behaivour. |

Poster, you are avoiding facts and becoming unnecessarily sentimental. Why am not claiming Goodluck is the most capable person in Nigeria to become president, but among the most popular figures, Goodluck, Buhari, and Nuhu if you will look at facts Jonathan is better. To begin with, why ain't we talking about candidates like Pat Utomi or Okotie since we want fresh air and intelligent leaders. Looks like something is wrong somewhere. 1. Clueless, you said but he has map out a clear and pragmatic plan for the power sector that is already being implemented. Except if you want to deny fact, there is improvement in the sector already. Buhari did not do that in his 20 months as Military dictator who controls all arms of government and resources. Up till now he has not told us what he will do in the sector. If Nigerians want to solve this power problem, a vote for GEJ is the only way. It will take any other party another 10 years. He is clueless but has ended scarcity of petroleum products and make it available all across Nigeria the first 2 months of his becoming president. He is clueless yet he appointed Jega, a man revered by many Nigerians as incorruptible to be INEC chairman. He is clueless yet made provisions for 100 schools for the Almajaris that roams the streets in North, Buhari a muslim did not do this and has no plan for such. This Almajiris are the people fermenting crisis in the North because of their illiteracy. He is clueless yet has awarded federal universities to states who hitherto do not. The list of his achievements in few months is long. 2.Nigeria is seeking something New. Yes, we a need university graduate, a civilian, a non Northerner, not a former head of State. GEJ is Buhari is not. 3. To End the Mis-Rule of PDP. PDP is not the problem of our country but poor leadership. It will be wrong for anyone to conclude that all Nigerian youths are internet fraudsters just because many are involved. Amaechi is in PDP, Donald Duke is in PDP, Akapbio, Aliyu and others who have made great marks in their states. I'll continue tomorrow, got to attend to other things now. uement |

If GEJ is not voted in this year, we the Niger-deltans will see it as a delibrate act of betrayal by nigerians after we have fed and sustained this nation for 50 yrs at our own expense, we sacrificed our land in cross-river to cameroun for nigeria and now that nigeria should show us appreciation by voting en masse for our candidate, they want to play a fast-one on us, since 1999 no one complained about PDP, it is now that a niger-deltan is a candidate that everybody is now shouting. We will resist buhari, and even if he wins, we still have our arms and this time in collaboration with the SE, we will truncate this nation and cripple the economy(no oil production), with this the naira will be worthless since all revenue is from our oil. Some idiots have said that the oil is a curse, and if it really is nigerians should leave it alone for us, even that FOOL CALLED FASHOLA is busy calculating our oil money, he is a thief,barawo, they want to pack all our oil money for tinubu. The only reason why we niger-deltans have not protested lyk in egypt is only becos of GEJ. GEJ 2011 or Nigeria breaks to pieces |

The only downside of GEJ is that he is not capable of handling curruption. |
