There is also an interesting software that pulls common terms and expressions associated with a name. The more frequent a word os associated with that name the bigger the font of the word displayed. When you do that for Good luck Jonathan, a few interesting words come with big fonts; Clueless, Corrupt, Dumbo...

Nice try. The problem with all these planted, openly false stories is that people don't believe them and not enough work.is done to back them up with fake documents and other paraphernalia. On the Rev Mbakq though caution is in order. Don't make false accusations against a Pastor. ....very bad luck.

Meanwhile my take on Buhari who they claim would bring us change.

I have never seen any school built in his name.
* I have never seen any borehole constructed by him.
* There is no record of any scholarship
awarded by him or for him nor through him.
* I have never seen him use his popularity to canvass for any charitable work nor any humanitarian
effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge where other
purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign for immunization.
* No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him.
* Asides from doing nothing, he has not improved himself
since his exit from office.
* No book written, no memoirs, no lectures, nothing.
* The only thing of note he can point to are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station.
* He never champion for a university in his state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura.
* His entire existence has not led to any meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he can change Nigeria.
Doesn't charity begin at home again?
* No wonder he was referred to as being ''perpetually unelectable''.
* He is not a patron to any organization, group or association.
* No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him for their lecture, convention or gala night.
* The only time any known form, body or human assemblage ever chose him to do
anything for them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect nominated him as their spoke person in the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt in Saudi Arabia but he refused... He recently joined twitter because of election...he recently went to church services becos of elections
VOTE WISELY[-(
come 14th February 2015#

You are completely ignorant. This is a major reason Jonathan will lose the elections. A lot of his campaign staff and supporters don't read because they are I intellectually lazy.

Buhari was Head of State and Governor and PTF head at a time when PTF was the only execution organization for government programmes. Abacha could not trust even his ministries to build schools and borehole and hospitals.
Buhari can reel out more than a thousand projects dating back just nine to ten years ago. Anybody who is exposed even knows that it is not even a good measure of leadership in a developing country to be reeling out infrastructural projects as achievements. Infrastructural projects should run on an un interrupted track irrespective of whoever is in power. However if you want to go this way I think think you will hear hundreds of Buhari projects

Trailblazer1:
APC should have attached a small packer to their logo. After sweeping out corruption won't you pack it?

The idea apparently is to sweep the entire corruption to Otuoke and then leave it there. I think it is wicked.

They have finished Jonathan with these memes. I love the young farmers agriculture programme. The government buys everything at a good price not dependent on market alone. This is confidence boosting guarantee of a market and profit. This is better than just e-wallet for seeds and fertilizer even though those as well are commendable enough. Input side solved output and market side solved as well.

Moheat:
Ramat was his mother's name.

Ramat was his mother's name and by the way, this is to all those who think tribally. This man was not completely a notherner.
Muritala traced his origin to northern Edo state but was adopted by an Uncle and great Kano aristocrat Inuwa Wada who brought him up like a father bringing up his own son. Married to a Yoruba woman Ajoke who is still alive.

johncreek:
Jonathan must be drunk I tell you.

This was Jack Daniels talking, Hennessy and Moet were close behind

I agree to a South East President in 2019 but no PDP. APGA or APC.

meforyou1:
don't mind the paid agents of the semi illiterate nomad that entered army through quota system.
I know that jonathan will crush buhari on Feb 14

How did Jonathan enter Presidency, was it not quota system?. Was he the most qualified person?. Was he even the most qualified from Bayelsa?

GMB for President in FeBuhari

funkiebully:
The useless buhari moved to abakiliki this night and the whole campaign arena was dark, they couldn't light up the place, sss guys were over working before they assassinate the sick bokoharam and blame GEJ or igbo ppl.

Have u seen were campaign is done at night and a dark field?

Mumu buhari

We saw it on television. By the time Buhari spends two years the whole state will be lighted. Thank God you admitted that the SSS were over worked trying to protect Buhari that was because the place was filled to the brim and the crowd waited for the man who is going to be the next President.

stellx:
Did you hear yourself say RED WINE in reference to GEJ ?

my father's palmwine stupour shall be better than the GLUE you and your ORANGUTAN lot will be sniffing to forget your miseries by the time GEJ wins.

GMB could as well have made a presentation of OBJ'S latest book - MY WATCH, to spite GEJ but choose not to "throw pearls before swines".

If you have nothing constructive to contribute to my thread but such invectives as you spewed above, then i shall be forced to incinerate you in your own juice.

Your thread is crap and you are elevating a mistake by Dr Clueless Jonathan.
A president is reading a coup speech by the most corrupt head of state Nigeria ever had against the most corruption free head of state we ever had and you are praising him. He just drove another nail into his political coffin. There is no living democrat who should be quoting IBB.
IBB annulled a free and fair election, stole probably up to $20bn in eight years and killed Dele Giwa and probe Ly many more.
The speech itself was read in a halting, incomprehensible manner calling into question GEJ's educational qualifications and was about Buhari being stubborn and harsh on crime and corruption which is what we like and won't take advice from IBB himself which is worthy of Nobel prize.

zeezzy:
He read that?Even if Babangida is to contest against Buhari today,Buhari will win the election.

I told people that Jonathan will trip himself. The funny thing is that he read the speech in the context of corruption.

If.you want to criticize Buhari you need a few things:
1. A good and functioning brain that looks at what his weakness is in the public mind.
2. Realize that people already have heard half of what is available on the man
3. Dont quote IBB, quote Wole Soyinka on Buhari
4. Dont bring up thieves like Nwobodo, quote Fela Anikulapo Kuti
5. The masses dont share the fear the elite have for Buhari so try to be aware of their collective anger against corruption in high plces

warrior01:
But he is so on point. Didn't those things happen during Buhari's era 31 years ago.

IBB coup speech is campaigning for Buhari.
1. The man is stubborn. - Yes we want a stubborn president
2. He dies not listen to advice - Yes he will not listen to crooks. Idiagbon had a free hand and people called him the power house
3. He was harsh - Yes we want some one firm.

Which forward looking youth embracing president reads out a 30 year old speech from a crooked murderer of Dele Giwa and other people against his opponent. You have to be particularly clueless.

asha80:
please can you explain how he would di these...i am all ears .

True infrastructural development not PPP of 50 years. Encouragement of genuine local manufacturing.
One very very important thing is Solid Minerals, Enugu has coal deposits amongst the largest in the world, we have clean coal technologies that I'll turn coal into environmentally friendly power generation and Gas. What would Enugu be like can only be imagined. Only Buhari has mentioned solid minerals since the campaign started.

What about the hard working agro allied small scale struggling manufacturers, Buhari has an answer in supporting them not just the ICT workers that madam iweala is thinking of.

CaptainOjemba:
Minimah ia our own, he is from Opobo town, Opobo identify with Igbo a whole lot. That's why you have a lot of them at Aba.

Tell Minimah he is not performing anymore. Let him not follow them to share money. Boko Haram can be defeated in 2 months. No prolonging of war to make money. It is a sin against God.

shachris03:
So you think SSners are your brother? You never read about the civil war bro. Better fight for your own and forget this your make believe familiarity with SSners. They are saboo and would always be saboo.

Goodluck is the worst sabo. Vote for Buhari and see development. They will take Aba and remake it. Nnewi will be better than China Guangdong. Enugu will be a resort town that people go to relax their nerves, Onitsha will have true skyscraper not wanna be. A place like Owerri will be a tourist haven.

You guys don't know what you are missing.

explorer250:
sir, ihejirika was not sacked rather he was retired because he was due for it. Kenneth minimah was the next person eligible for the post,afterall he is from ss and our brother. Balt nnaji was dumped because he awarded his company(geometric) a contract without following due process and he was replaced with another igbo from thesame state by the name chinedu nebo

Na today PDP don dey award contract to themselves?. Good luck made a mistake with Nnaji. He should have asked him to resign then kept him close as a consultant. Professor Nebo is a fine metallurgical and university lecturer but a very bad minister of power.

9jaIhail:
I was reading and was enjoying your writeup until i detected Buharism in you. Listen young man/woman, I am not an Aba brought up but as a confirm nwa afo, every little investment i own today are in aba and owerri. We all feels the pains but do not blame GEJ for the bad leadership in abia because we have a Governor who have served nearly 8yrs in office without achieving anything. It doesn't make sense when you allow your frustration to blind your sense of reasoning. A sensible igbo person will never prefer GMB ahead of GEJ. Igbo people that are supporting GMB are either for their personal gain or party interest. Inasmuch as GEJ failed igbos and other Nigerians in so many areas, i can assure you that igbo interest cannot be better serve under GMB than GEJ. Can we be reasonable enough and not use our hands and fetch an infested fire wood and you know what the consequences will be.

How do we forgot things so easily. Sometimes i feel like to ask, are igbos the most silly and confused creature in the whole universe. How suddenly did we forget our past experiences? How we have been treated by the past presidents and military head of states in Nigeria GMB inclusive until GEJ came on board. Even here in NL, you as an igbo person hardly exchange argument with other tribes without the person calling you a third class citizen. Today, if not for anything GEJ in one way or the other gave igbos some sense of belonging.
My take on Abia state is, we should vote out PDP in Abia and vote massively for GEJ despite hes shortcomings.

By all means possible make sure APGA wins in Abia. I am an APC supporter but that is what my gut feeling tells me. My second advice, stay away from Jonathan. It is better yo abstain from presidential voting than vote for someone like Jonathan. He has had too much greatness thrust upon him and is merely struggling.
He will block the chance of an Ibo presidency for more than two decades besides if he wins which is not possible so it might be double loss for the east as the APC begins to see the region as not their catchment area for votes

SamIkenna:
Igbos are one of the most peaceful people on earth. If reverse were the case in the present day Nigeria, a bomb or knife wielding core northerner would have sent the Igbo man, openly walking in predominantly Hausa-Fulani market, to his early grave.

The fear of a 'rampaging' Igbo is a myth 'owners of Nigeria' created after the civil war. Today, the wind is revealing who the real dangers are.

Anyways, the love, affection, and hospitality to Buhari as witnessed in Ariaria market should not be mistaken. In Igboland we respect accomplished people whether we love or hate them. In fact Ojukwu's statement that Awo was the best president Nigeria never had has gone down as the most apt and the most defining characterization of the man, Awo. Even the most irredeemable haters of Ojukwu or Awo agree to Ikemba's statement - that, my friends, is Igbo - in hate or love, Igbo will never withhold a man's due. To that end I have no doubt that majority of those Ariaria folks who trooped out to see their former head of state, a man who imprisoned Ekwueme for no reason, a man who imprisoned Ojukwu - Ojukwu was never part of Shagari's govt so what in world could have been the reason for jailing Ojukwu other than ethnic hatred exhibited by a supposedly national leader - will vote for GEJ in Feb.

In fact, if Buhari came to California today I would, certainly, go shake his hands and even dine with him if he cared. But I still will not vote for him and certainly will not let him go to Aso Rock. He deserves respect as an elderly statesman and a former head of state - that much I can give him. I wonder, though, if Buhari's supporters, friends, brothers up north are willing to show GEJ even a tenth of such respect.

This one you talk true. As a south western Nigerian youth copter, I can attest to the good treatment you give to visitors. I have been to twelve countries on three continents so I know what I am talking about.

The problem I have with all you people is your unfortunate support for a CON MAN.
Why are you people making this big mistake with Goodluck Jonathan?....Na Jazz?... Seriously I need an answer.?.

Nwobodo is a good example from CLUELESS. He is a good example of corruption and stealing and the often lack of nuance between the two expressions.

Apart from extensively detailed acts of corruption as a governor the unrepentant man as a Minister of Sports ( Jim Nwobodo) actually STOLE a big working diesel generator from the National Stadium and moved it to his personal house. Please I am reciting this from memory, please do your research to prove me wrong. He also carted away cars and office equipment. So Jonathan is very clever to call his name as somebody who was persecuted in an Ibo state with the guy himself in the audience. But this man that he mentioned will get Jonathan into more trouble this week. How clueless can you get using this example?.

So stealing is not corruption but this was a guy who graduated from corruption to stealing and you are praising him in public in this information age.

MalcoImX:
Whatever qualifications that enable Aguiyi Ironsi, Yakubu Gowon, Murtala Mohammed, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and Abdulsalam Abubakar to rule Nigeria as Heads of State, General Buhari too has.

Thank you very much for this reply. I thought about it but could not articulate it simply like you have done.
Let us add those who have contested but did not win; Atiku no degree but more capable than Jona, Kalu with a questionable degree written in front of cameras but still better than Jona, there was one highly intelligent Waziri Ibrahim in the old days and by the way Architect Sambo also lost his certificates to fire.

jdilight:
When l talk of FOI l was trying to let you see how policy work. But you chose to see what you wanted and to pull me to follow your track.

Which policy did buhari institute?
Eopl
Do you know what the size of our economy would have been if he formed a policy that encouraged the textile industry?

Buhari' s regime backed the textiles industry and all local raw material generating industries. I don't know why people are so ignorant to understand that Nigeria was a sophisticated country even then. Textiles failed with IBB devaluation . Please try to listen to a 're run of Oshiomole's town hall with Osinbajo just touching on a few areas of Bihari' s economic policy.
This idea that Jonathan made Nigeria's economy the largest is Africa is the WORST LIE IN MODERN HISTORY.
It had always been the largest since Obasanjo' s first term and that was thanks to GSM with its heavy buy all stakeholders in the economy and years of investment in oil and gas industry. When you challenge them properly they tell you it is more like rebasing, that is they were calculating it wrongly before and have now effected corrections.
The man to praise for GSM was Abacha so Nigeria's success stories has many fathers even the ones we don't acknowledge including Shonekan who made LNG possible. Our Economic size is really due to our high population internal competition culture and character not because of some clueless govt.

NavierStokes:
Please do you understand what a free market economy is? Its policies like the one you are advocating that Maduro the former bus "conductor" is busy implementing in Venezuela, that is running down that economy.
This is the 21st century and running an economy is way more complex than mere use of common sense alone. Tell ur oga to show his certificate then we can give on from there to his plans of stabilizing the oil price etc.

You are reciting elementary right wing economic theory straight from websites or from books.What they don't tell you is that there are always winners and losers. Nigeria turned herself a loser by devaluing its currency before building an industrial base and manufacturing capacity. To build a bridge increased by 200% and now idiots are asking why Dubai infrastructure is better than Nigeria. The woman who is running the economy ( not Dr Clueless) is starting to do the surprising - increased taxation, luxury tax, tariffs, import substitution, local small scale manufacturing empowerment. This is Buharinomics, the only difference is that Buhari would not borrow money and devalue currency. If the oil price falls more and Nair a moves to N200 to the dollar, there might be a run on the naira and all he'll will break lose. Guess what the government will do?. They will take us to what Dr Clueless Jonathan was criticizing the Bubari regime for, they will stop weekly auctions of the dollar, ban importation and institute price controls then people will ask wetin happen Jona?

jdilight:
Why Africa is backward is because we don't have good policy not because we are not doing the right thing. The government then did not want progress that is while they did not back their action with good policy.

Let me ask you, if the president did not sign the freedom of information bill, will Nigerian know this much about government? Will we be criticising government at will?

This is good government policy.

They didn't give it to us because they no the disadvantage on them.

This is the problem with Jonathan and his supporters. The context were different. This was a military regime, we squandered our freedom during the civilian regime of Buhari through corruption and election rigging.

Very rich people owned newspapers and were controlling discourse. Please tell me what is freedom of information when Abiola, Aboderin and Awolowo' family owned the major newspapers. What is freedom in that. First of all it means the whole country was under information dictatorship from rich Yoruba businessmen. I am Yoruba and I know what I am talking about. So it is a little amateurish to talk of FOI under military regimes and even more to PRAISE Jonathan for what is just accepting global best practices. Almost all African countries have FOI now and they can't help it any way in th internet and social media age you don't get a prize for doing FOI.

Buhari never nationalised newspapers which was what some countries with military dictatorships did. Also the number of articles criticizing governments were very many and nobody was letter bombed as happened during the time of IBB whose coup address speech formed the basis of Jonathan's campaign today at Enugu

iyk2iyk2:
Watching GEJ live in Enugu. The Brand New GEJ is HOT!

His Presentation
His Cues
His Confidence
His Jokes

... Difference is GEJ 2015

He is fighting to avoid jail for himself and his friends.
He read from Babangida' s coup speech, he just finished himself.

Okay:
1 Buhari did not take power by force he was invited.
2 It was IBB who raided Awo's house and his family is already aware.
3. Metroline was never flying. Many regimes after Buhari did not attempt it Good luck in particular has not supported the on going blue lines and red lines project.

Crocz:
I know this woman..rich? Yes..but she aint gat no 5bn to donate to nobody

She's the best they could find?...bunch of clueless du muse in Jona's quarter, I'd do a better job in laundering

She has more than N5billion. The woman you see has been the friend of every first lady since Maryam Babangida, to Mariyam Abacha, Turai Yaradua, Obasanjo' s wife and now she is best friend to Mama Peace. She can even donate N20billion even if that money was coming from the handbag of Mama Peace herself and she wants to cover it up.
Anyway the point is this woman you see is a ''professional friend" of first ladies. That is her core business and she can raise any money

jdilight:
How was he fighting for manufacturer when there was hardly any manufacturer. Do you know how many goods were ban fully or partially by this government?

Please talk to any old member of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria MAN. They were working very closely withngivernments. I actually saw import licenses and Form Ms and clear categorization of importation into spare parts, manufacturing equipment and raw materials.

All these were for a short time to get local manufacturing installed for all consumer goods.

Jonathan is now reading Babangida' s coup speech against Buhari in his campaign.

WHO IS ADVISING THIS CLUELESS MAN !!!!!.

jdilight:
The scarcity was not caused by shagari but by the government that did not empower the people to be productive but look up to the government for daily needs.
If the manufacturers of those goods were in Nigeria would the goods be hauded?
Almost all the goods were imported. What did the government the do in form of policy to attract investors?

This was my point. Exchange rate was key. Buhari was fighting for local manufacrurers by keeping the cost of dollar low. The naira might get down to 220 to the dollar with Jona please tell me howvmany young people are empowered theh

chernest2002:
buhari is a criminal for sending the army to force my father's warehouse open and sold his goods below the cost price and fall his business, he failed many businesses,in fact don't remind me of that rogue cause it will never be well for him and any body that supports him,Gej till Namadi 's turn in 2019

Your family business was involved in crimihal activity. You guys committed economic crimes and were greedy. Tell us how much taxes u ever paid to govt. We are just not serious in this country.
Please be careful some of these laws are retroactive and you can.still be arrested for hoarding of goods. The young boys who are doing 419 sojetimes what they do is hard to prove as illegalities but we have locjed them up because they have riluined lives andbrought disgrace to Nigeria.
