RedEboe:
If anyone thinks that a Remo Omokri will (for the fun of it) create an online poll that he doesnt have firm control over, then that person is a compound ------(fill in the blank).

Once again,some people are taking advantage of Buhari's political naivety to mislead him and his handlers. Some projections were posted online where it was even suggested that Buhari will pick 70% of South-west votes including Lagos. I am not a statistician but I do know for a fact that come rain, come shine LAGOS WILL STICK WITH GEJ, they don't necessarily like him but will everly pick him over a Buhari.

Many Buhari supporters are forgetting that the PDP may in fact be controlling over 40% of the South-west with Ekiti and Ondo in the kitty.

These online projections are designed to make Buhari sit back, relax and start day-dreaming of Aso-rock instead of aggressively pursuing a grassroot political campaign.

TAN alone and their members have the capacity (and resources) to create hundreds of online polls where GEJ will win by 100% but they are not even bothered.

Internet savvy PDP supporters have most likely been directed to keep voting for Buhari online and promote this whole internet sensation for ONE REASON, it helps in alienating Atiku Abubakar-that's one major opponent down.

Once APC 'foolishly' succumbs to these online polls/projections and picks Buhari,the PDP will start its massive campaign, the most elaborate in Nigerian history.

We are just in October, a lot will happen in the next three months.

So please, APC fans be wise and help your party field a younger/sellable presidential candidate that though may not win in 2015 but will create a huge impact that will make a victory for APC in 2019 almost inevitable.

This is my opinion.

PS: I am a trained Political Scientist.

Wishful thinking.

Mekateka:
Buhari lead in what? Guys go do better tin and stop wasting your time on fake life. Buhari winning online election since 2003, and still that has not given him the key to Aso rock door.

They rig and put lame ducks in Aso Rock.

The Federal Government is to spend the sum of
N971 billion to subsidise the supply of petrol to
Nigerians in 2015, an indication that the
administration has no plan to do away with
subsidising petrol.
In the same vein, the government plans to give out
a total of N260 million to the Subsidy Reinvestment
Programme, SURE-P, for intervention in various
development agencies.
This is contained in the 2015-2017 Medium Term
Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy paper,
which President Goodluck Jonathan sent to the
National Assembly for approval as the basis for the
2015 budget.
According to the document, which Vanguard
obtained Thursdayt, the government expects to
receive fabulous revenue of N7.164 from oil and
gas while the sum of N3.2 billion from non-oil
revenue sources within the year.
Overall, the administration is expecting N11.1
billion as total federally collectible revenue for
2015, as against the projection of N10.894 for the
current year.
Of its oil revenue, according to Jonathan, the sum
of N858.59 billion will be spent as its contribution
to the cost of oil production while N209 billion will
go to National Domestic gas development and N78
billion set aside for Gas infrastructure development.
In the letter he addressed to the leadership of the
National Assembly, Jonathan admitted that the oil
sector was not witnessing new investments due to
uncertainty occasioned on the non-passage of the
Petroleum Industry Bill, PIB.
Jonathan explained that the oil benchmark of $78
pb was predicated on the projected balance
between increasing global supply resulting from
rising oil and unconventional oil production, and
production disruptions that may might result from
geopolitical risks.
The President said: “Our proposal is also driven by
the need to be cautious in our revenue projections
given the volatile nature of oil prices and the need
to rebuild our fiscal buffers, which have been very
useful in periods of revenue shocks”. www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/fg-spend-n1-trillion-petrol-subsidy-2015/

They can only chop for just on quarter, when Buhari enters in April everything will be probed.

shady26:
fashola married an infidel for a wife and also attends programs at redeem camp, by Islam/northern moslem standards Fashola is not a true moslem, same goes to many yoruba moslems ( the mallams wont even let them lead prayers and would rather spread his mat outside and pray than enter an airconditioned mosque were prayers are led by yorubas) .
anyway less we digress, why is FASH not contesting as the main Presidential aspirant? at least there is a general agreement by all that he has something to offer with better record of governance than Buhari.
my friend i will vote for Fashola anyday against GEJ but why why and why is he being fielded as second fiddle to a man accused of being a MUSLIM JIHADIST with moslem brotherhood like tendencies?

The answer is implicit in your post. The answer is that the muslin jihadist toga on Buhari is false.

Etruth:
Bros, na wa 4 u oooo. What do u take us for? Illiterates? E go surprise you. A b'um onye igbo and I live in the Niger Delta. A born again Christian too. I have lived most of my life in d SS/SE region yet I'm totally in for the knock-out combo of Buhari/Fashola. No dey deceive ppl wit d religious ish. E no go work. Competence over Cluelessness. #Sai Buhari/Fashola 2015

Very good talk. Excellence trumps all. How can a corrupt government be good for the SE/SS whatever the tribe the president is from?. GEJ is in power now, what has been done for the SS/SE?. It is my Yoruba people who are doing the big deals in NNPC, laundering money for ministers and buying private jets. They want to pull wool over peoples's eyes. To be fair the PDP government has some very good ministers but the Presidency is under the full control of a cabal made up of people from all the regions stealing the resources of the people behind a president who is the most 'blank' in the history of Nigeria, even his supporters agree with that. I say let us take our country back, the Niger Delta has proven that it has a seat in the corridors of power by having GEJ winning the 2011 elections. He is even expected to do a little well in the SW and NC so all tribal domination conspiracy theories have been debunked. Let us now talk merit and issues.

okosodo:
muslim-muslim will not work

Upright Man-Competent man combination will work.
Leave religion out of it. Buhari's closest friend is Tam David West. Fashola has an Ibo Christian friend of his in his cabinet who is actually under consideration for Lagos governor. Leave religion and tribalism out of it. Cluelessness is cluelessness, stop defending a corrupt and unintelligent presidency.

Obinoscopy:
It's obvious these guys are not after our wellbeing. They are just hell bent on taking over power. Every statement of theirs has to do with ousting the present government. They should be careful lest Nigerians would sense their desperation. I detest desperate politicians.

Thus far, I would say Atiku has been the most matured opposition politician I've observed. His twitter statement concerning the ceasefire deal/chibok girls negotiation is very matured. I hope his party alongside his fellow aspirants would tow his line

Jonathan is the one after your wellbeing abi?. A clueless president that allowed BokoHaram to kill human beings like goats in the streets. The worst and most ineffectual president in the history of the third world. I still recall the last bombing in Abuja and a young Ibo girl in her early twenties, with the worst degree burns and she was still alive but dying slowly, shouting weakly, ..help me, help me. Is that the kind of man who should be governing human beings?. If the man wins again how are we going to face the world when they already know he is the worst African leader. All African country leaders have even started disrespecting Nigeria because of this man...mtcheww

Justcash:
I am writing this piece without political affiliation. I foresee some horrifying occurrences if Jonathan is voted out of power in 2015.

1. AN ENERGIZED MEND WILL RETURN TO THE CREEKS WITH RENEWED VIGOR TO DESTROY NIGERIA ONCE AND FOR ALL

2. I ADVISE NIGERIANS TO BRACE UP FOR ECONOMIC DOWNTURN, BECAUSE IN A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE LOSS OF GEJ, OIL PRODUCTION WILL BE REDUCED TO ZERO AND NIGERIA'S ECONOMY WILL TAKE A TUMBLE

3. THE NEW GOVERNMENT WILL BE BUSY FIGHTING MILITANCY FOR THE DURATION OF THEIR TENURE, JUST TO STABILIZE THE ECONOMY AND FIND FUNDS TO EMBARK ON DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECTS

4. THE WAR IN THE NORTH EAST WILL BE A JOKE COMPARED TO THE WAR THAT WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE NIGER-DELTA. HAVING LEARNT FROM BOKO HARAM, MEND WILL CAPTURE AND CLAIM VITAL (OIL HUBS) TERRITORIES

5. THE DEBT PROFILE OF NIGERIA WILL INCREASE TO AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL DUE TO GOVERNMENT'S RESORT TO BORROWING AND SHORT-FALLS IN THE ECONOMY

6. NIGERIA'S GDP WILL TAKE A TUMBLE

7. THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION BY THE NEW GOVERNMENT WILL BE VIEWED FROM AN ETHNO-RELIGIOUS ANGLE AS A WITCH-HUNT, AND ETHNO-RELIGIOUS DIVISIONS WILL WIDEN

8. THE THREAT OF DIVISION WILL BE MORE APPARENT THAN IT HAS EVER BEEN AS COUNTER-MILITANCY SOLUTIONS WILL BE ADOPTED BY NIGERIAN ETHNIC GROUPS

9. I SEE A NEW REGIONAL AND POLITICAL SYSTEM BEING PROPOSED TO REDUCE ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS BASED SUSPICION, WHICH WILL BE OPPOSED BY A CERTAIN REGION

10. NIGERIA WILL BECOME MORE EXPOSED TO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE

Most Nigerians don't know how dicey the political situation in Nigeria is. Nigeria is in a stalemate. 2015 will indeed redefine Nigeria in all ramifications. I PRAY FOR MY DEAR COUNTRY.

You must be smoking something really bad to have posted this trash. You have just ridiculed our democracy with this trash. So MEND will be allowed to subvert the free expression of our fundamental human right of voting in an elected government. This is a very weak argument to compel us to support GEJ. Maybe you guys already know now that he will lose the popular vote.The Niger Delta is part of Nigeria and the most dependent one at that. The naval blockade and air strikes on MEND installations will affect the region and cause untold hardship on the ND peoples. Starvation will be used as a weapon of war, disease and criminality will ensue. Women and Children will bear the full brunt. Civil society will cease to function. I don't think you have thought about the effects of what you are suggesting properly. This idiotic argument can also be extended to even 2019 as well and you are more or less saying GEJ may as well do ten terms in office. Please stop smoking bad stuff and reason properly.

Aksonman:
I had a major 'spiritual' encounter last night and saw visions of what Nigeria will look like if Buhari is allowed to become President.

- General Buhari is sworn in on May 29, 2015 with Rotimi Amaechi as his Vice President. Why Amaechi? Well, he stood as guarantor for the General's N27m loan from Unity Bank to procure APC form.

- Eagle square is jampacked with kaftan wearing supporters; the entire inuguration event is conducted in English and Hausa; a mini-dubar is organized. The entire podium is filled with Turbaned Emirs.

- Dissolution of federal executive cabinet with the setting up of a committee to probe all ministeries once headed by Christain Southerners. A few other Southern ministers will run to Tinubu for help to avoid sack, probe or investigation.

- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will constitute Buhari's core economic think tank with Fashola playing a pivotal role. All existing agreements, allocations and projects for lands and properties in the FCT will be suspended. New (Tinubu owned) companies from Lagos will be invited to come bid for management of these suspended projects.

- Street begging with return to Abuja and Lagos in full force.

- Vice President Amaechi will be appointed as head of new committee to invesigate fuel subsidies and low capacity of major refineries. There will be major fuel scarcity for months after which Buhari's government will decide to issue new fuel import licences to oil companies, recommended or owned by Tinubu, Okorocha and Amaechi.

- The modern Almajiri school system created by former President Jonathan will be abolished with these school converted to unity schools and opened "to all Nigerians". Southerners and middle beltans will flood these schools while their original inhabitants- the Almajiri's will return to the streets.

I'll update these visions when or if I recieve more revelations from the most high.

Anyone doubting these visions?

This is a faulty vision. What did you eat for dinner?. I only agree with the part about Tinubu but there are countervailing actors to prevent any hanky panky from that quarter. I think a GMB presidency will strengthen our economy and develop the north. Oil theft will disappear, the niger delta will start developing, international oil and gas companies will pay correct taxes, corruption will go, Nigeria will earn new respect, refineries will start working, the armed forces will be strengthened, armed robbery will reduce, our girls will stop runs...et.c. We will take our country back from the Objs, GEJ's, Anenih s and other satanic forces. Even Ribadu will come back home.

chiefinalowo:
Majority of the real voters don't even have access to the internet and they are not residing thousands of miles away from Nigeria.

Buhari can be Online President, no problem about that.

GEJ will win 2015 presidential election, no question about that.

He will lose woefully.

kennyslim1:
for your st.up.id mind now, you make sense abi?

Old thieves are afraid they would be made to account for our grandchildren' s money they have stolen.
Young fools because they don't realize that GEJ is just a minor South South agent of the same people who ruined Nigeria and they are foolishly ready to die for him.

kasiem:
there's possibility of gej winning in borno with power of christian indigenes and other non indigenes cos the radical indigenes will be scared of doing their things due to the presence of soldiers. again, not in all parts of borno that election will hold

The idea that Christian northerners are for GEJ is very WRONG. Who has been lying to you?. This people are asking themselves even now what did Jonathan do for them when their Churches were being bombed. What about the deep tribal linkages that transcend religion?. What about the Catholic Church that is already blaming GEJ for mis managing security? What about CAN that is already divided? Most xtian northerners have relatives and friends who are Muslims and have co existed for centuries so you think all that will just disappear because GEJ wants just four more years?. Please get real. Don't look at the world from SE Nigerian eyes. Nigerian politics os complicated and we love it so.

Icon4s:
SE states: GEJ 99.9%, Buhari 0.01%
SS states: For C/River, Bayelsa,Delta, A/Ibom GEJ 99%, Buhari 1%, for Edo and Rivers: GEJ 70%Buhari 30%.
SW states: Lagos:GEJ 60 Buhari 40%, Other SW state 50:50.
NW states: GEJ 40% Buhari 60%
NC State: GEJ 55% Buhari 45%
NE State: GEJ 50% Buhari 50%

The election results will swing in favour of who d Igbos vote massively for.
The SE has a 99% Igbo Population.
Rivers is dominated by Igbos so expect a GEJ dominance, d 30% who'll vote for Buhari would b those manipulated by Amaechi.30% Vote for Buhari in Edo state represents d Muslim population in d state.
GEJ Can get up to 60% in Lagos cos 40% of Lagosians are of SE/SE + 50% of Yorubas in Lagos are xtians who would nt fansy a muslim-muslim APC ticket.
50:50 for d rest of SW bc of d 10-20% Igbo population and near 50:50 Xtian:Muslim ratio.
The NC has a 50:50 Xtian:Muslim population + a near 20% of igbo population and this gives GEJ d edge.
Good luck can score cheap points in d NE with d war against BH so its 50:50 for both candidates here.
NW belongs to Buhari and his CPC but with d high igbo population living in dat region GEJ can wrestle out 30-40%.

This is so wrong.
Most Christians in the SW are against GEJ because of corruption and insecurity. NE, NC and NW are for Buhari traditionally, Christian and Muslim, there is the religion issue but there is also tribalism, please be realistic. Igbos have never determined the course of any elections. Go and check your history. Igbos in the SW and the North mostly don't have voters cards and the few that have will go home to vote because of the likelihood of election violence with the possible exception of Lagos. GEJ may never poll up to 25% in Ekiti in spite of Fayose, but will win about 34% of Lagos because the Yoruba middle class has some admiration for some of his economic reforms. Rivers is not dominated by Ibos politically - Ogonis, Kalabari and lately Ikwerres are now anti GEJ, forward thinking people are also asking themselves what happens after 2019, that is why you see the Amaechis building a national profile for themselves instead of dying in the same party with a president who has only four years in office (maybe). Go and do your research on ground. Buhari has majority following in Kano and has always carried the two most populous States in Nigeria.
I am still counting 21 States Buhari, 15 States Jonathan.

ozo13:
The three men in d pix tells it all .don't involve buhari in dis.d last man on tie was d founder of boko haram

Say No to Jonathan. He is cowardly, selfish and clueless.

saintikechi:
I hope its true, i hope they release the girls. "GEJ till 2019"

Your GEJ has just made a deal with terrorists. The worst part is not the deal itself, it is that as usual he has left it too late till they have all become pregnant for demons. He is now going to release hardened terrorists from prison and maybe give them money to start new lives. Maybe some of them will even go into politics after amnesty. Please think and be honest to yourself, is this the kind of President Nigeria deserves?.

kasiem:
for gej i think he is going to win the whole of south east and south south states in a landslide, in the south west he may lose only the state of ondo, in the north central, he is going to lose only niger state. and lastly, in the the north east and west, he will win kaduna, nassarawa, adamawa, taraba, and possibly jigawa state.
what's your take on that?

GEJ will win only the ND minus Rivers. He might win some middle belt states. He is sure to lose all the SW states including Ekiti. The entire North is for Buhari.

Sarimah:
So who's gonna spend it?

He has a daughter, many brothers and sisters and aged parents.

Afam4eva:
I'm sure many of you knew that Nigeria means "Nigeria Area". But what you all may not know is what the word Niger means. I just learned that that word means darkness. That means Nigeria means "Darkness Area". Is that why we've not been able to sort the power problem? Or do you think that the name has had adverse effect on our country?

Nigeria does not mean Niger Area. The thought of the area around the Niger inspired the name all right thanks to Lord Lugard's girl friend.
However the hidden meaning of the name can be got by separating out the 'Niger' from the word. Niger in the bible and the ancient world means 'black'. Then you will find the meaning simply is..." Land of the Black People".

Buhari: Ruled over out Fathers NOW want to rule over us GODFORBID!!!
It doesn't happen anywhere... BUHARI YOUR PERIOD IS OVER



Pls drop ur GODFORBID statements lets send this message across to them haters
Dont read without dropping GODFORBID

Which village are you from?. Your arguments here are rather 'native' and parochial. Buhari is running for President, not asking to be crowned to rule. He is begging for your vote with a promise to do a number of programmes. GEJ is doing the same. Please stop this rule our fathers bullshit. Nobody rules anybody anymore. Even Nigerian politicians who should know better misuse the RULE word as if we were still in the stone age. The President is just an elected head of government that we also allow to be titular head of state for a period of four years with checks and balances to his power that can even entail impeachment.

I thought Ghana wanted to export electricity to Nigeria. Clownish black charcoals of Kumasi

They will export electricity to Nigeria. It is not an insult. Our economy I'll grow faster than them for the next 20 years and we can't build power plants fast enough. Please stop all this imaginary competition with Ghana. It is the Nigerian economy that most countries in west africa will use to grow. There is nothing wrong in buying electricity from Ghana.Most European countries export electricity to each other.

Wow. Can I use this yabis elsewhere or is it patented?. Anyway I have written it down somewhere.

Mujinho4b: Fine she no fine... What rubbish....

This is the only LIE I have seen amongst all the posts. Tiwa Savage no fine?. Who com fine now? Abeg make we talk true. The fineness sef dey disturb the music. That's why I buy the audio tapes to appreciate the good voice instead of watching music video.

This is not a monstrous tank pleeeaaase!!!.

FastShipping: Atiku was there with Obasanjo and he looted the treasury. I rather have GEJ there than to see Atiku there.

Atiku is the smartest politician in Nigeria.
I cannot vote for him personally but he is smarter than Obasanjo, IBB and far far smarter than GEJ.
He is also exceedingly corrupt and it was after he started looting that Obj actually joined in, primarily to raise money to bribe NASS who were always threatening impeachment and to buy the second and third terms and much later to settle his retirement issues.
Now this statement about sacking Diezani is deliberately targeted at a particular section of the electorate and will achieve the right effect.
Atiku is also extremely powerful in the South East, is loved by many S.E politicians, has an old inderground structure in the South West and has been known to spring surprises outside his north east zone.
So Buhari should watch it at any APC primaries and GEJ should watch it at the national General elections.

BlackTechnology: Shut up

Why haven't the US freeze the accounts of OBJ IBB Danjunma etc

Is it because Ihejirika is Igbo and GEJ is Ijaw that is why US is talking

My opinion is

If this info is true, it means GEJ's govt has refused being US puppet which has angered the US

Imagine after refusing AFRICOM, increasing trade with China and refusing Gay law, do you think US will be happy.

This is real Ibo thinking. Materialistic, spiritually dead. Walking corpses throwing money around. We are talking here about a general entrusted with killing boko haram stealing billions. Hundreds of Ibos have been killed by this same group yet you are defending that same general. Obviously there is something wrong with this tribe. Go and look at an old Nyanya video of human beings who were not even dead yet but their bodies were still burning to put what this m an has done in perspective. They have deliberately prolonged the war, under equipped the troops to make billions. By the way it is not your call. God himself will judge all of them harshll.

berem: Wishing him speedy recovery!

Don't say that. God is knocking off Nigeria's enemies

onyengbu: Kids everywhere on nairaland!

Yes. Too many kids on Nairaland.

Oklander: It will be interesting to have a presidential debate and rebuttal before this election, especially now that there's a very strong opposition party. The ruling party is seeking for re-election while the opposition is trying hard to be elected. They should come to the platform where the candidate of the ruling party will tell Nigerians what they have done to better the life of Nigerians in aspects of security, corruption, power supply etc. within the last four years of their tenure with convincing proofs and what they will do when reelected while the opposition candidates should tell us what and how they would tackle Nigerians problem if elected.


How about that?

GEJ will never ever debate anybody. Wetin, u na wan kill person?. His own politics never reach like that. To articulate concepts and express them clearly is not his strong suit, neither is executive ability, neither is understanding of social issues, neither is a clear ideological standpoint. In fact neither is anything. So national debate?, No.
