^^ Your case is beyond repair! Sorry, you may live and die with that lie. Maybe in heaven or hell (whichever you work at), you will realize too late that Buhari was chosen by the likes or IBB, David Mark and other evil geniuses to bring his integrity on board just to 'legitimatize' an ilegitimate usurpation of a democratically elected Government.

Come to think of it, the Ghana we are all rushing back to now because of it's level of development was as a result of somebody doing a coup back then.

Pen, they said, is mightier than sword.
The difference lies on the direct effect on lives (shedding blood)
Boko Haram is the worst because they maim lives immediately, followed by mends because they affect products which later affect lives but pen, we will see the effect after many years, it destroys more than all

The more Buhari speaks, the more i thank God i did not choose him. His words spit out violence , no wonder his followers behave that way. Justifying  Boko Haram; comparing them with mend?? These groups have different motives, even though they are to blame for insecurity in the country.

Mr Intergrity plotted a coup, oh sorry, was not involved but became the president shocked bullshit!

OK OK besides beefing, I agree though not as honest as he is perceived, he much more honest than the other greedy politicians, but he does not not have a clue of how to take Nigeria to the promised land. Follow his utterances after the elections, very unempathic to the Nigerian populace and unprofessional, He should think of redeeming Nigeria and not vent his anger on personal differences with rivals.

Not coming for the election debate, his utterances after the  post election violence are among the few things that make him incapable of running this country.

Jonathan is DEFINATELY a better choice. However , come 2015, RIBADU is the choice. Buhari should learn from him!

Buhari was never, is not, and never will be a man integrity, because his perception of reality is dangerously skewed by religious and ethnic sentiments.
In a country where things work as they should, there will be no boko haram, there will be no MEND, there will be no corruption at the highest levels of our government, and people like Buhari would have been long executed for crimes against humanity embarassed
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by ypad: 8:47am On Jun 30, 2011
MEND and Boko Haram are two different groups. Example, Mend was out to fight/struggle for the neglect of the oil producing state by FG 4 over 30yrs. and their struggles includes access to standard western education while Boko harm are struggling 4 FG to wipe out western education.
MEND used violence because FG understand it faster.


It's wrong to equate BH and MEND as same.
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by goodbobo: 8:57am On Jun 30, 2011
Now I  see why this country is sinking by the day . MEND and BOKO HARAM  are bad we all know that but how can we nigerians in our right senses argue with someone telling us that the thieving elite are worse that these groups of people . Do u know the havoc this our looting leaders have done to us .

Nigerians are so so blind . We dont want honest people like Buhari yet we want good roads , we want electricity and other great things the developed county have .

U guys that are pointing accusing fingers to Buhari, can any one of u confirm to me what possession he has amassed for himself ( someone that was the head of state and the PTDF chairman in Nigeria ) . We are too blind to see honesty. We should not because of religion or ethnicity blind fold ourselves . For me all i want is the right leader for Nigeria, not minding were he is from or what religion ( he can even come from Togo as far as i am concerned) What matters is someone that can give the country what we so desire .

Look at it this way:
Tony Anenih stole Billions that was appropriated for Benin-Ore Expressway, and as a result, atleast thousands of people are either dead or deformed and vehicles and products perish on an annual basis. Just one man and his corhots!

Boko Haram detonate bombs and hundreds die annually.
Niger Delta Militants kidnap Oyibos and bomb oil facilities, only those who resist their mission or refuse to heed warnings are killed or maimed.

From the above, you can see the hierachy of wickedness!

GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS. HOW CAN SOMEONE TOLERATE WITH WARPED REASONING JUST BECAUSE THEIR FORKING BRAINS ARE PLACED UPSIDE DOWN IN THEIR FORKING HEADS. LETS WAIT AND SEE IF ANYBODY CAN COUNTER YOUR ARGUMENTS ABOVE. THEY WILL SIMPLY IGNORE IT AND MOVE TO COUNTER ATTACK OTHER ARGUMENTS THEY DEEM AS WEAK.

You can insult Buhari to your heart's contentment but CORRUPTION (the main issue in this thread) remains the major obstcle to Nigeria's progress. We dont realize that and act on it we stagnate and continue protecting evil and selfish people because they happen to be our tribesmen and women.

@rolchi;!Accuse GEJ of just one crime that the elite commit



Allowing them to go free, the governors, the PHCN USD16bn, and many others I can list - but you asked for only one.

, and GEJ is the president! Is he not?

I agree that elites who loot are as bad as MEND and Boko Haram, but stealing power with gun is worse.

Also comparing Boko haram and MEND speaks volume of Buhari and his Islamic agenda.

MEND wants a fair share of the oil produced from their communities, Boko Haram wants Islamisation of Nigeria.

I dont see any comparison.


A man of integrity will never participate in a coup.

As for MEND and Boko Haram, you are completely off. I am not supporting arm struggle of any sort. Violence must be condemned irrespective of who is involved.

I am only saying that the motivation and the goal will determine how to handle each group. For example, MEND was offered amnesty with a promise to develop ND and they listened. Boko Haram want forceful Islamisation, how will you negotiate that?


@noblezone,
the bible says a thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. our politicians steal our funds kill us for rituals/to get to power and they destroy our educational system, medical system, roads, destroy our security by sharing guns and arms to us.
what buhari said is far from the reality because these politicians are more dangerous than boko haram and mend multiply by 100.
do u think that boko haram and mend will be in existence if not for our politicians.
were abiola, bola ige, funsho willians and other politicians killed by mend or boko haram.
you mentioned coup, how did ghana get back on their feet? if there is anything nigeria and nigerians need at this moment, it is a coup plotter who will come and kill all these high way robbers turn to politicians.
to me, nigerian politicians are next to devil.
how do u explain a situation where a nigerian goes home with over N15.9 a month and is refusing his fellow nigerian a token of just N18,000?
how do u define a situation where our politicians send their children to schools abroad and allow us to die ignorant here?
how do u explain a situation where i buy a transformer, buy cables, poles and meter, i have a generator and i buy fuel, oil and plug to mention but a few.  no electricity yet a devil thinks it wise to increase the electricity bills?
to me, your position is as a result of ignorance if not, u shld have known before now that boko haram and mend are in existence because we have a useless govt.
a little knowledge of political science will tell you that govt is a group of ppl tasked with the role of making rules and regulations guiding the actions of other citizens. what rules have our govt made to guide the actions of these groups or even u and i?
we are under the rules of devils(politicians) that gives families of dead corpers N5m. have u ever asked yourself, why is non of their children or families one of the benefactors of such goodwill?

what are you all talking about, comparing the method of operation by the militants to that of boko haram, rubbish, we are not kids,and not just kids ;stupid kids, a person goes into a bar or gathering and kills innocent civilians that are even against the government and you say u have a message, wat blooddy rubbish message, see boko haram has not seen war yet,where were they during biafra war, who ever knows them shud remind them that if war or civil unrest breaks out we all would suffer and die and i can assure u that boko haram members would become cannibals from the hunger/famine that would arise,

It is a pity that, you allow sentiment to overrun your life. Jonathan was a deputy Governor, Governor, vice President, Acting president, Substantial President and now, elected president. Of all the years he has been in the corridors of power, what can you point to as an achievement? Instead, MEND, MASSOB, Kidnappings, Bomb blast and Boko Haram is the order of the day. In your wildest imaginations, do you think that Buhari really deserves your outburst? Be real for once.
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by SPARROW797: 10:21am On Jun 30, 2011
The race with the Niger Delta militants is the betterment and development of their region as their lands have all been desecrated by the spill of the oil produce from the area. There was a clear negotiation b/w them and the govt on a lasting solution in providing good amenities for them.

Now the question is HOW DO WE NEGOTIATE WITH BOKO HARAM? What is their race? That the whole nation should stand against western Education,

That the whole nation be turn to Islam?

Absolutely we have unrealistic demands here.
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by luluosas(m): 10:21am On Jun 30, 2011
Buhari is very right on our thieving Elite. They are the ones that armed our jobless youths to prosecute their elections. Soon after winning their elections, they abandoned them to die of starvation. In order to keep soul and body together, the abandoned youths take up the arms, and formed themselves into deadly outfit. MEND is a result of this. Kidnappings in the South is a direct result of this. Bomb blast every where is a result of this. Boko Haram is a direct result of this. They only make it a religious outfit to remove peoples attention from the fact that, they were trained, used and dumped by the Government.
Let's be sincere with ourselves, the rot in the system is the reason we are where we are right now.
Drastic situations needs drastic action, unfortunately, we do not have in government today, the man with drastic myth (acceptance) to bring about the needed solution soon.

We want change! we want change! but we throw integrity and uprightness to the wind and embrace massive corruption.

We say since he's a coup plotter, even if he's the only honest man in the world, we would rather have corruption than honesty from a coup plotter.

It is very clear that most people do not know the meaning of a coup

Anyway, we all know at the back of our minds that the "coup thing" isn't our main problem with Buhari; rather we are tired of having another mallam being our leader hence we re ready to endure another yrs of torture. angry
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by Kanana(m): 10:42am On Jun 30, 2011
Hating Buhari shouldnt stop us from agreeing with him on what is obvious. His stating that the thieving elites are as bad as the militants is a fact so why the attack on his person?

The same elites painted Buhari black just for their selfish interest and most of us bought the line without checking the facts just like zombies. The same corrupt leaders led to the emergenge of the militants through the dastardly acts that has being going on over the years. So whtas the fuss even if it is the devil that state which is obvious huh. God let em bigots think straight.
Re: Buhari: Thieving Elite As Bad As Militants Such As Mend, Boko Haram Etc by luluosas(m): 10:46am On Jun 30, 2011
With the exception of late Major-General Tunde Idiagbon, General Muhammadu Buhari who emerged as Head of State was not one of the planers of the coup. The brain behind that coup was late Brigadier Bako who was killed by Alhaji Shehu Shagari’s Presidential Guard in Abuja. If he had survived, Brigadier Bako would probably have emerged Head of State. Others who joined in the coup were the late General Mamman Jiya Vasta, late Brigadier Sani Abacha, General Muhammed Magoro in that order. General Buhari became Head of State because he was the most senior military officer at that time. He came in as a compromised candidate to replace Brigadier Bako, the mastermind and architect of the coup.

Those calling Gen. Buhari a coup plotter, come see your deluded mind. Visit http://www.pointblanknews.com/authbioofabiola8.html and read for yourself. Oh no. Nigeria lost a big chance to correct the decay in the government today.
