I am a Fulani from daura in Katsina state,my house is just opposite Buhari family compound.I will vote for GEJ!!! Bloody liers on nairaland as if they are talking or trying to convince 2 year old baby.Most people saying they are from the south are not truely from there and those who are from the SW are supporting the Dictator basically because of Bakare who is a yoruba man,While those truely from the SE and SS are those whose brain has been brainwashed by Bakare latter rain assembly church preaching and are card carrying members of his church.I know what religion and tribes can do to people.

@Innocent, are you saying the VP (Tunde Bakare) who is more knowledgable in christianity than you are will be hiding his bible in nylon? By the way, Buhari's driver who has been with Buhari for more than 10 years is a christian - I don't think he wouldn't have resigned if he has to hide his bible from Buhari.

So, stop this nonsense - it is mere political propaganda to discredit a disciplined man whose integrity has no rival in Nigeria of today.

My folks are both from Kwara state, I was born and raised in Lagos and had all my schooling years in the southwest. I lived in the north for a couple of years. Lived and worked in the South-South region (Rivers-Bayelsa-Delta) for a little above 6 years, I am indeed a Nigerian.
I support the BB team as much as I can considering the fact that I'm now residing abroad!
Re: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by Wadeoye(m): 7:56pm On Mar 26, 2011
@Ozin, not everybody you see here is lowly animal like you - we are talking about somebody's integrity and you are talking about religion ethinity.

I am yoruba, based in Lagos, I have sympathy for ACN at state level and Buhari for president. ACN has got a VP(Fola) from SW as well and if I were to vote based on ethnicity and religion, I will vote for Ribadu/Fola - duo are muslim and I am a muslim. But religion and ethinicity will not take us anywehere.

VOTE OUT CORRUPTION, VOTE FOR BUHARI/BAKARE
Re: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by ziccoit: 7:57pm On Mar 26, 2011
I am a Southerner, Yoruba,Fully in Support of BB Ticket. ? ? ? The best president in a country of this planet; assumed to wanting to server (not rule) Nigerians would fail us because anything PDP would forever be a failure. There is an inherent curse in PDP.

Over 99% of people clamouring for downfall of PDP are the progressives, right thinkers, intellectuals, visioners, missioners and conquerors.

 But over 99% of PDP supporters are looters, friend of looters, families of looters, benefactors of looting, cultivators of indiscipline, quarrelers, reactionaries, blinds, dulls, idiots and morons.

This election is going to be tight. There might be a re-run because PDP might want to rig again. They did it before and they will want to do it again. For a free and fair elecction GEJ has lost the south. On the street everywhere I go it's BB all the way. If there is a third and fouth term Fasola will always win the heart of Lagosians.

God punish all those who ran out of Nigeria and are now supporting corruption and insecurity from abroad.

my fear actually. . . that notwithstanding, GEJ is still better than Buhari and Ribadu. Like some NL's will say, he is less of a devil than those 2.

Jonathan has a degree in Fisheries and PhD in Zoology: ask him first to go to the river, zoo, forest and classroom to do his research work. He should leave leadership for men of integrity and disciplined to fix the problem of Nigeria.

And Sambo? He can hug a wet transformer - he is just filling in the blanks.

Funny at your hypocrisy, you carefully avoided included including Jonathan's name in that comparison - perhaps he is worthless. Did you also noticed the order - If no one is talking about "Shekarau", the next competent person is BUHARI.

Nigerians lets support and vote Buhari 2011
Re: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by Wadeoye(m): 9:05pm On Mar 26, 2011
@MeGaStReEt, Shekarau better than Buhari? How? Because of the way he speaks? You are one of those Nigerians who don't know their problems or the solution to the known problems. Oratory is not our problem, otherwise, we will be better of voting for Kris Okotie or Pat Utomi. But of course, how well our leaders can speak is not the problem with our country.

If I may ask, what is the performance of Shekarua in Kano? People talk about Fashola in Lagos, they talked about the former govnor of Calabar, etc. I have not seen anybody talk about any interesting thing in Kano.

Buhari has got a track record that none of the contenders can surpass - sincerity, integrity, descipline and achievement.

fFOR SHEKARAU,HIS POPULARITY IS LOW,EVEN IN HIS STATE HE WILL LOSE,THOUGH HE HAS DONE GREATLY IN THE STATE.ONE OF THE STATE WITHOUT ANY KILLINGS DURING CAMPAIGNS.
FOR RIBADU,ONLY FEW HAS FAITH IN HIM,I STILL PREFER SHEKARAU TO HIM.
FOR GEJ HE IS A LITTLE DEVIL AS  U SAID,BUT THE LITTLE DEVIL WILL MATURE TO WHAT WE WONT BE ABLE TO HANDLE
FOR BUHARI,HE IS A THE BIG ANGEL,HE HAD GOOD WILL FOR US,ALEAST PUT ON THE PATH OF GROWTH&DEVELOPMENT
OPPONENTS ARE JUST USING PROPAGANDA TO TAINT HIS IMAGE.
HIS POPULARITY IS GROWING DAY BY DAY.
DO U KNW THAT IN THE NORTH GEJ IS REALLY LOSING OUT,I SEE RE-RUN
Re: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by muami(m): 9:13pm On Mar 26, 2011
A review of the pro Buhari supporters show that they support him for two reason: (1)They believe he is not corrupt, and (2) They hate PDP.Considering the extent of corruption in Nigeria and the below average performance of PDP in the past 12 years, these are good reasons.       However, the question is: Are these reasons good enough? I think it is a mistake to vote for someone because of who he is or in protest of what the other person or party did not do. Examples abound that people live to regret it. For example in UK, they voted the Conservatives simply because they hated Labour. Today, everyone is protesting against thie policies.Similarly, in the US, Obama was voted largely because people hated George Bush and the way he handled the Iraq war. Today, they have realised that hate and oratory prowess is not enough, which is why they voted back the Republican in the mid term elections.
Yes, I hate corruption, and yes, PDP has under performed but I dont think that should be the main reason why we should vote for the candidates we want to vote for otherwise we may end up regreting.All I am trying to say is this: if Buhari and his online supporters here really want us to vote for him, he and they should focus on the plans and programmes and not on the mere fact that he hates corruption.There are so many countries, including Ireland and Portugal, where the leaders are not corrupt and yet they are clueless as to how to move the economy forward. What we need is a leader that has a coherent plan on how to accelerate economic growth in the country. As we prepare to vote, let that be the overaching criteria for selecting candidates.
Re: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by matazzmagi(m): 9:21pm On Mar 26, 2011
Fresh facts emerged yesterday that President Goodluck Jonathan’s talks with the Mallam Adamu Ciroma-led Northern Political Leaders Forum collapsed because he refused to accede to two demands by the Forum.
The demands are: a written undertaking that he would spend only a term in office and ensure that power shifts to the North in 2015.

They also asked him to make a broadcast to the nation on these two commitments.

But the President has rebuffed the NPLF leaders over these demands and decided to bear his cross by making fresh inroad into the North through alternative power brokers and northern groups.

The NPLF, in collaboration with Igbo Political Forum, had on Thursday technically withdrawn backing for Jonathan during the forthcoming April 9 poll.

Investigation by The Nation confirmed that the refusal of the President to meet up with these demands actually accounted for the deadlock at last Friday’s meeting with the NPLF leaders.

A top source, who was privy to the talks, spoke in confidence on the grey areas that led to the stalemate.

The source said: "The NPLF leaders raised issues bordering on non-respect of commitments and agreements by the President.

"They therefore asked the President to enter into a written agreement that he would leave in 2015 and that power would shift to the North in 2015. The Peoples Democratic Party would have to be part of the new power deal.

"They even asked him to go the extra mile to make the agreements public through either a press briefing or broadcast before they can give him support.

"They said unlike 2002, they want to hold the President and the PDP liable for these new proposals. They hammered on the question of trust.

"They said they decided to ask for these so that all Nigerians will be witnesses to history."

But it was gathered that Jonathan considered the demands of the NPLF as undemocratic and unrealistic.

The President queried the rationale behind 10 to 15 people sitting down to determine what will happen to the nation in 2015.

A top aide of the President, who spoke in confidence, said: "It is true that the President said he cannot enter into a bond on 2015.

"He said as Nigeria ’s President, the NPLF should be able to trust him as a reliable leader who will always do his best to preserve the unity and stability of the nation.

"The President must to abide by the tenets of democracy and allow Nigerians to choose their leaders without fear or favour.

The aide quoted the President as saying: "I won’t write any undertaking. Whoever Nigerians want will be the President. Nigerians will decide their next President in 2015.

"This is a democracy, if I say this is what Nigerians should do in 2015 and they decide otherwise, will you still say that I must impose your will on them?"

The source added that the President told the NPLF leaders that the fact that he initiated the talks presupposed that he wanted the best for the nation in 2011 and 2015.

Another factor which might have influenced the President's position was the fact that he had also made the same promise to the Igbo that it would be their turn in 2015 to produce the president.

"You can see that the matter poses a big dilemma for Mr. President, so he had to do the most sensible," said a source.

As at press time, however, the source claimed that Jonathan is already "bearing his own cross" by making inroad into the North.

"With the election fast approaching, the President has gone back to his Plan B since the NPLF is technically not backing Jonathan.

"I can assure you that the President has opened discussions with other interest groups and other influential leaders in the North, who are considered as ‘match-makers’ in their own right. It is a kind of divide and rule strategy.

"Do not forget that the President, to a great extent, has large following in North-Central, North-East and in some states in the North-West like Zamfara and Sokoto.

"Some of the northern governors backing the President too are no push over. You cannot rule out the fact that they will make impact."

True. We support Buhari because of his anti-corruption views. Isnt corruption the main problem killing Nigeria. People get to power to make fortunes rather than serve people. Untill corruption is brought to appreciable levels Nigeria can never be great. But the fact is not just about him fighting corruption, it is that he is a man of the people and puts the people's interest first not the interest of politicians, godfathers, supporters and sycopants. That is the non-hypocritical kind of leader we want not an opportunist like the rest.

What we need are leaders who are sincere. We have been planning for too long, we need action people. Not people that will create a committee to find out the remote and immediate course of our electoral problems and give them one year to present their report only to leave the report to be gathering dust. We need people who know that time is of essence and will hit the ground running.

Some of us might say that Buhari has no concrete plans for Nigeria,
Even if he has no plans except getting rid of corruption that is okay for now.

Remember that nothing can ever work in this country unless corruption is eradicated. So support the man that is bent on making it happen.

BB let's go there.
