GEJ is a strong president and Buhari a weak general      

Even a donkey will laugh at this notion.

At least I would have lifted someones mood and increased another's longevity. We are touching lives

maclatunji:
Contradiction, it is his party that rules. He is only 1 man. If he wins his tenure will be defined by his party and not him. He admitted to the US diplomats that he was not equipped for the job. Those flocking around him now are opportunists and boy-o-boy aren't they having a GRAND BALL at our expense!

If that is the case then you should stop telling us about Saint Buhari because he cannot rule alone and his party is made up of looters and criminals who decamped from PDP because there was internal democracy, went to CPC where there was no internal democracy and created the kind of crisis that was in the PDP before due to candidate imposition.

We do not need a weeping president. We need a strong president.

Whoever advised him to shed the crocodile tears must be deported to Hollywood.

“His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings (humble and God-sent Goodluck) of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future (Same PDP government again for another 4 years), or grief for the past (caused by PDP to which Jonathan has been a part and parcel of for 12 years) , Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of this African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future. (Not thinking Akala, Gbenga Daniel, Iyabo Obasanjo, Saraki and co will form the next PDP government as ministers or ambassadors) "

You all of a sudden accept the degrading description from a white supremacist just because you want to make a point?
I think your present out burst will make you also fit in well in 'His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings [b](humble and God-sent Goodluck) of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future'[/b] because you are prompted to malign and degrade just to achieve a momentary satisfaction without thinking of the real meaning of what you have just said.

Say it. many BB fans are decamping after seeing Buhari has struck deal with IBB, Atiku and Ciroma

Hope you are considering request to vote GEJ on saturday

maclatunji:
What most GEJ supporters do not understand is that they stand to lose more with him winning than the supporters of the other candidates. It is they who will be looking for jobs that are not forth-coming, transformation that will turn to arrested development. Check-out the BB and ACN supporters, they are generally well-off and those that are poor have not acquired the taste of ambition yet. So if you think a win for GEJ is a personal win for you, your are just being dumb just like my people will claim victories of foreign football teams as their own when those team's players and managers cannot even stand them ala Manchester United in Abuja.

Buhari has struck a deal with Ciroma, Atiku and IBB et al. Haven't you heard all you BBer's that your maigaskya is dealing with crooks?


Listen to this
AN APPEAL TO NIGERIANS

GOODLUCK JONATHAN lost support from (king-makers) Ciroma, IBB, Atiku and their fellow corrupt men because he refused to signed an agreement on who becomes Nigeria's President in 2015. GEJ said: "What I'm not comfortable with is the rationale behind 15 of us sitting here and deciding who becomes president in 2015. I will want Nigerians to choose their president in 2015".

Even when we were not there GEJ is still fighting for a free and fair process. He disappointed OBJ and BANKOLE because of his transparency and goodwill towards Nigeria.

Now, Buhari has been begging the same Ciroma, IBB, Atiku, Tinubu and Mohammed Abacha for help to win. He even promised to make Ribadu president in 2015 if he steps down for him. They are already forcing Fake Bakare to sign his resignation letter. Less than 10 men appointing 2015 president; is this not corruption in the highest order?

Nigerians, come out enmass and call your neighbors on Saturday so that we can kill this evil cabal forever. Vote GOODLUCK JONATHAN

maclatunji:
I totally disagree, an alliance between CPC/ACN will mean that rigging of the PDP is ineffectual because they would need to get figures out of the north that are more than the registered voters to win the election. A lack of alliance means that with sophisticated rigging the PDP can edge into power. The alliance is meant to break PDP's rigging machinery!

That is why I am of the opinion that total and comprehensive election monitoring is the key. The most popular candidate would win and everybody will be satisfied that the best man won. Not all of this; "nobody is perfect." "No process is perfect", "we must unify Nigeria even if there is rigging" rubbish we continue to get. It is either FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS or NO ELECTIONS AT ALL!

How will the Alliance do better in the north than individual parties? It is about number, merging of numbers from individual parties.
If they cannot check 'rigging' individually, they cannot check it collectively.

GenBuhari:
@agabaI23
I am fine thanks 

And u?

what u mean I owing ?

PDP are busy rigging the elections , you guys are owing us 

Looks like there is going to be an alliance formed  against GEJ which has lifted us BB supporters 

You are owing me some nuts

Alliance is dead and you know it

^ Why Buhari is striking deals with IBB, Atiku, Cirom and their likes

You won't say anything about that now.

Desperation is it?

The comments here about the failure of the alliance shows that

You guys claim of PDP rigging is not totally sincere because you indirectly accept that GEJ and unfortunately by extension PDP have greater reach and structure than any other party. You are indirectly that it will take a combined opposition to win PDP in  a free and fair election.  In other words the results reported re genuine and as a result you want to combine your resources in other to be able to contest.

Thank you very much

HourGlass1:
Thanks @123, how is your travels? @babs, dont mind me o, i always forget the name and since ave not been browsing on the system i cannot log into sparkpeople cos that is where i saw it.

UW. The travel is good so far. Back to base morrow. thanks for asking

Why are people calling Tinubu here?
I thought it was supposed to be Ribadu spearheading the negotiation with Buhari.
Does it mean Ribadu is not in charge afterall

Please Modath, where are you? Hope you hav been able to get the xrays done.

Dear all,





I am writing to inform you all that a dangerous rumour has enveloped the nation suggesting that our own Nuhu Ribadu, NR, has stepped down for the CPC presidential candidate, Muhammed Buhari. This is a wicked lie and a terrible diversion with high propaganda value.



Northern advocates for consensus have urged NR to step down for Buhari but the party, ACN, actively led by the governors and the man they now call the lion of Bourdilion [Bola Tinubu], have resisted this, saying only over their dead bodies will this notion be allowed to prevail. As one of them put it at the meeting, the myth of Buhari's electoral value has been punctured at the last National Assembly elections and it will amount to rewarding a failure if Buhari is called to lead a campaign against the PDP in the Presidential elections this Saturday.



Buhari's CPC failed to assume a national outlook and remained a northern based party unable to win a seat outside its northern regional base on last weeks elections. Only the ACN and the ruling PDP were able to win seats in the six geo-political regions of the country.



As you read this, the meeting just ended in Abuja.





Call To Action: We need to all get online and debunk this lousy rumour NOW PLEASE

sheriffman:
As we speak, the leaders of ACN are still brainstorming on the best way to go on Saturday. Disregard this gaseous nonsense.

Do you know how many hits they have generated by this?

Ask Buhari to step down for me – Ribadu

That was three days ago.

He steps down just 3 days after. Hmmm! I do not see any reason why a aparty which has dine better will step down for another trailing far behind. Well still good for our democracy!

If GEJ cannot win free and fair election,then let him be.

The nation will decide. But in one way, I think it is a suicide mission.
This guys do not have much media presence.

How will they spread the new alliance?

Jarus:
Interestingly, I was the one that dug out and re-popularized this article, when the Buhari debate started late last year. I have written articles around this Sanusi's essay. Google 'Between Buhari and Sun'(Thisday, Sun, Punch, NVS etc).

That said, I think this article can easily can easily be used for or aganst Buhari. Sanusi pointed out Buhari's strength and weaknesses. But in the final analysis, he concluded he will vote for him. S[b]o I think the[/b] 'for' takes it.

I don't know you to say the above.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=644482.msg8112411#msg8112411 date=1302634333]Agaba you and I know the man will not vote for GEJ based on what he wrote there, you are a political propagandist, but hey, there's is nothing wrong with that, it's a noble profession. I'm one too (sometimes)

I'm not worried about people like Agaba and Beaf, they know what they are doing and they know why they support Jonathan. I'm worried about the gullible Nigerians who base their support on silly things like ethnic sentiments and goodluck smily faces.

I agree with a lot of Sanusi's conclusions here, but considering the poor candidate pool we have and the fact that we need to stamp out corruption and remove the influence of those who are holding our people to ransom, like Sanusi, I also concluded that I WILL VOTE BUHARI and others should do the same.

This write-up from a respected Nigerian has shown that Buhari is not as rigid as his opponents try to claim. he made very flexible, very pragmatic choices as a leader.

Like Sanusi concluded

Agaba let's stop scaring our people, Buhari is the better candidate.

I respect your hustle though  [/quote]Now that's a good one from you. You just accepted that I am saying the truth but decided christen it propaganda. The next step, vote GEJ and get your friends to do the same. ;-)

BTW when you show me your own score I will have to ask them

Kobojunkie:
Ask those who scored you on the exam is what I meant.

On refuting, I don't see a reason to here since it seems clear at this point that comprehension is likely the issue. The pieces you continue to cut out are in English and ought to be clear enough to anyone with a good understanding of English language. 

And it was very clear to me. Thanks

It does not change the fact that SLS said this

[size=28pt]Do I support Buhari’s decision to contest for the presidency of Nigeria? My answer is no[/size]

juventino:
GEJ for 2011 and 2015. Buhari can wait till 2019; afterwards, he is still young

loll

Kobojunkie:
If I were you, I will ask them why you seem to be pulling things out the way you have continued to and still unable to grasp the meaning contained . . . I mean it is in ENGLISH for pete's sake!

Who should I talk to?


I would've preferred you were able to refute anything I quoted instead of insinuating I do not comprehend. I used SLS's own words. Can you give me another meaning to those quotes?

No ma!
I scored 8/9 in IELTS comprehension

General how far? You are owing me oo

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=644482.msg8112060#msg8112060 date=1302631240]that is why the gullible ones are afraid of Buhari but ready to support thieves and cluesless idio/oots like Ohakim, GEJ, Anenih and Akpabio.[/quote]You got it wrong. I am not for any PDP governor. I hate Akala, Ohakim, Orji, Elechi even Akpabio though I do not know much about him but little I heard is not worthy.

If you read his analysis of Buharism, you will see that he talked about draconian laws.
SLS knows that draconian rules do not work in democracy and he know Buhari enough to say he is not suitable for Democracy!

oyb

You quoted this

Second, I am convinced that the situation of Nigeria and its elite today is worse than it was in 1983.Compared to the politicians who populate the PDP, ANPP and AD today, second republic politicians were angels. Buhari waged a battle against second republic politicians, but he is joining this generation. Anyone who rides a tiger ends up in its belly and one man cannot change the system from within. A number of those Buhari jailed for theft later became ministers and many of those who hold key offices in all tiers of government and the legislature were made by the very system he sought to destroy. My view is that Nigeria needs people like Buhari in politics but not to contest elections. Buhari should be in politics to develop Civil Society and strengthen the conscience of the nation. He should try to develop many Buharis who will continue to challenge the elements that have hijacked the nation.

I will extract and highlight this

My view is that Nigeria needs people like Buhari in politics but not to contest elections. Buhari should be in politics to develop Civil Society and strengthen the conscience of the nation.

for you.

Lagosboy:
This an article written by SLS in 2003 for goodness sake , even as far back as 2003 SLS said he will vote for Buhari when majority of Nigerians rejected Buhari.

Fastfoward to 2011 Nigerian needs Buhari urgently now compared to 2003.

Please stop misleading people with this topic. SANUSI SAID IN THE ARTICLE HE WILL VOTE BUHARI FAR BACK IN 2003 YOUR TOPIC IS PLAIN FALSHEOOD AND FRAUDULENT. BE MATURED ENOUGH TO MODIFY IT.

Fine after he had given 4 reasons why he should not contest one of which was he was a dictator and as a military general had more room to work but cannot fit into democratic governance. That has not changed.
That he should be a statesman advising others and produciong other Buharis. Buhari does not want another Buhari it has to be him or noone else. Selfish and not nationalistic.

Buhari is a recycled material and he does not like that even though as a joke but he meant it.

Why will he vote him?

'A.I will vote for him not because I think he will make a good democra[/b]t or that he was not a dictator. I will vote for Buhari as a Nigerian for a leader who restored my pride and dignity and my belief in the motherland. I will vote for the man who made it undesirable for the "Andrews" to "check out" instead of staying to change Nigeria. B[b]I will vote for Buhari to say thank you for the world view of Buharism, a truly nationalist ideology for all Nigerians. C.I do not know if Buhari is still a nationalist or a closet bigot and fanatic, or if he was the spirit and not just the face of Buharism. D[b]My vote for him is not based on a divination of what he is or may be, but a celebration of what his government was and what it gave to the nation'. [/b]
Even though
A. he does not think Buhari will make a good democrat.
C& D. he does not trust Buhari or he cannot vouch for Buhari
B. he will vote Buhari to thank him

In summary this is linked to what he said earlier, that V=Buhari will not fit into a democratic governance.



BTW if he wrote this article in 2003, why do you brandish it as a reason to say that SLS supports Buhari?
You can use it to say he will vote Buhari but you will deny the real content that truely shows his stand.
That is double standard Lagosboy.

Kobojunkie:
That is because he already considers people like you not worth his time. Plus it is obvious that @Jarus is probably only online like 2 hours a day. I on the otherhand love engaging folks like you since  I am online more times than not, and I thrive on helping folks OPEN THEIR EYES To what is in front of them.   . . .  it is a hobby!!

So, tell us, what is wrong what Sanusi's statement there?? That document is written in English Language and I will go ahead and presume that comprehension is not a problem here.

I am sure you saw my first post mrs eye opener
There is nothing to tell you again. I was only trying to tell all that SLS does not support Buhari to contest.
Most of what he said tally with what I have been saying.

He said he will only vote for Buhari not that he is a democrat but for personal satisfaction which is what any reasonable reader will deduce from the last part of the article.
Any contrary opinion, please read the article and the highlighted.
