Kobojunkie:
So, in your mind, CPC and whatever happened in this case is all Buhari(even though Abacha dropped Buhari's name from the suit)? What I am trying to figure out is why Buhari is being made the culprit when

a) The article does not mention his name
b) The plaintiff did not see fit to sue him(Buhari) along with the board of trustees of CPC
c) Buhari also got flack from the same CPC when he selected Bakare for his VP

Why did he include his name in the first place? Removal of his name was an after thought

noblezone:
Buhari served willingly under the senior Abacha as the overseer of the PTF (Petroleum Thieving Fund?), what do you mean that he does not want to associate with Abacha?
Perhaps, Buhari never knew that there will ever be opportunity like this again, so he accepted the crumbs from Abacha's table. Now the chips are down he wants to place a saint.

common guys, we are not that daft o. Buhari among the gang of misguided elites who has held this nation to ransom. A vote for him is a wasted vote.

He did not serve under Abacha after he was made out to be a tyrant and his name synonymous with tyranny.
He served when Abacha was God.
Saint Buhari will not want to be associated with the tyrant now but it is too late because  our memories are not that bad.

Kobojunkie:
Me? Shy away from defending? You are not new to Nairaland . . .  ROFLMAO!!

Sorry dude, but it is simply a case of I DO NOT FREAKING UNDERSTAND WHAT THE HECK YOU ARE GOING ON ABOUT and would RATHER NOT PLAY WORD GAMES with you or anyone else on this or any issue. It get's tiring after a while! I simply stated my OPINION there, if you have a problem with it -- meaning you have a different opinion, that is fine but don't demand I change mine for yours. That would simply be ridiculous.

First off no one wants you to change your mind because I am not even sure you are in a place where  you can vote so it makes nonsense.

That you prefer to refer to a valid point raised from you post as a word game is what baffles me. No one is a wizard that will x-ray your mind to understand what you wanted to say if you assume that what you wrote is not what you wanted to write.

' When they realize' means that the subject did not realize beforehand. . . that contradicts your later  explanation Kobo. Was that not what you meant?
You can humbly accept that you did not think over your post and edit it or accept that you were indirectly giving them grounds to gloat.

Kobojunkie:
Stop posting my moniker just cause you can. Just because you do not agree with me does not make me wrong or whatever it is you are even arguing. I really don't care. I do not give credit where I do not see fit to. If you want to, go right ahead. I am not you. But it is childish to post what you have above rather than better arguing whatever it is you are getting at(which I still have no clue of and honestly would rather not bother with since it all seems more like word play and nothing more).

That's funny if you claim you do not understand my argument above which you shied away from countering. There is nothing like word play is my argument, I was responding to you based on what you posted and I know you understood my point. You can edit your post if what you posted was not what you meant.

I however do apologize if showing you another argument that supports my earlier submission is offensive to you. Or are annoyed that you were pushed to a corner?

'On the instruction of Abacha' because he is a politician and he wants to ride on Buhari's popularity in Kano and win.

Ibime said that Buhari tried to manipulate the election. Obviosly he was not comfortable with him being associated with the Abacha. This a sample of what Buhari will be up to if he wins. If he does not want you, he finds a way to eliminate you to maintain his 'puritan' stance.


Striking his name out is just a damage control. Why did he include his name in the first place if he was not involved? Buhari was privy to whatever happened. You cannot argue that he did not know about a major event in his most populated stronghold.

It is good to talk about individual when you are talking about CPC even though Buhari is the founder and the live blood of the party. Remove Buhari and there will be no CPC.

Yet when it comes to PDP candidate, you prefer to tar everyone with the same brush. what is good for the goose is good for gander.

It is only a party that stands the test of time that will claim sainthood for now, all parties are wanna be Saviour.
They have not even won an election and they are manipulating who will and who will not be a governor.

No one can explain this out.

debosky:
I think folk shoudl give OBJ the benefit of the doubt - from what I read about the church service, the pastor clearly admonished Bode George to ensure that he was no longer involved in the type of activities that got him locked up.

If indeed OBJ didn't realise it was a PDP affair till he joined in the service, I don't see how leaving would have changed anything. Besides, he is neither seeking elective office nor engaging in a popularity contest. I personally don't see any benefit for him to lie in this matter.

Tell kobojunkie

Ibime:
This is a court decision, nothing to do with Buhari who had tried to manipulate the process to ensure that Gen. Ja’faru Lawal Isa emerged as CPC candidate.

I read this post 5 times but i still want to confirm something.

Do you mean there is nothing wrong in Buhari trying to manipulate the people's mandate?

Obasanjo : Nuhu Ribadu may be connected with bode george going to jail

you see, i went to meet yar adua and chief bode george in new york to show them the satellite pictures. I was unable to see yar adua but i did meet chief bode george. the same week i posted the secret information on the internet was the same week chief bode george was accused of the case and was arrested.

And i think I also posted it on Nigeria villages square which Nuhu ribadu is a constant visitor. even while Nuhu Ribadu may have left the EFCC , he had old connection inside the EFCC. From what I know , since the satellite pictures has come out Nuhu Ribadu have been doing everything possible , so that the Yoruba people would not get justice for the issue of the satellite pictures.


Since I started posting it on NVS before nairaland. I have study Nuhu Ribadu in the media. And I can clearly state he is anti yoruba and and he is strongly against Edo,delta and Yoruba joining the republic of Benin. He is old school. who think a section of the country should not leave to bring peace. This is why I have openly oppose him.

He is been selfish , Nuhu Ribadu is not considering the fact than his people would become minority and that this may lead to a bloodly civil war. You can not continue to cheat forever.

And if you look at his profile as EFCC boss and the number of arrest made. Nuhu has arrested 90% of southerners , even while the bulk of the money was in the north. Clearly nuhu ribadu is clearly against the Yoruba people.

That is how we have those numbers in the north

[quote author=EzeUche_ link=topic=616323.msg7847591#msg7847591 date=1299274676]Religion mixed with more religion. It is not good to mix religion with politics.

He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Luke 20:25[/quote]I do not agree with you. There is nothing new in people of different faiths coming together to govern.

He was trying to appeal to Bakare's voting block (Christians) knowing that he 'has the ears' of the other voting block (Moslems).

McCain did it in selecting Palin but it backfired anyway.

Religion should never mix with politics and that BB ticket is an abomination.[/quote]Why is it an abomination?

Kobojunkie:
I am sorry but what is the difference between what I said and what you have above? Let's not play twister . . . you know what I mean and a lot of others understood exactly what the message was. Don't try to make it seem it is not saying exactly that which it is saying.  

Let me start from the last question.

The difference between what you said and what I inferred is the phrase ' when they realize'. By this you are practically telling us that they did not realize at the beginning that people will not approve of what they were doing and when they realised it was not popular, they apologised or withdrew.

Kobojunkie:
. . . . well, it is also human to want to STEAL BILLIONS OF Naira in money believing you have a right to it, so you can make sure you at least get as much of the national cake for yourself as you can, and so you can live as well as the many others, or even better, who already do it. It is very much human to deflect blame when you are caught.  So do we then conclude that that is not wrong since it is HUMAN?

The context of this comment is totally different from the context of your earlier comment. Reason is that in the above comment, the action is premeditated knowing that the people will revolt against it going by your submission.  So your explanation does not nullify my earlier submission that you were indirectly or better put inadvertently giving them credit except you want to remove the phrase 'when they realize'

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=616911.msg7847345#msg7847345 date=1299271062]You don't need to work out when you find yourself in a wrong place that you are cordially invited to for the sake of courtesy.
[b]Btw,I won't work out from the church if i find myself in that kind of situatio[/b]n.[/quote]You are there is that you are there. The press would have seen you already. Obasanjo is one man who would not want to be seen as weak.
Working away is trying too hard to impress (not bad if you want to). However remember that a human being is involved.

Kobojunkie:
He didn't earn himself any points with me since I am not buying that excuse. This has become the M.O of these PDP politicians, they do what they want and[b] when they realize people do not consider the decision a good one, they retract and produce some of the most ridiculous of excuses.[/b]

Again, why did he stay through the program if he really believed he was tricked. I am not in Nigeria but when I attend a gathering, I know if it is funeral, thanksgiving or even a celebration. If say na for here dem hold am, I for say maybe he was right but we are speaking of flamboyant program that was aired, I believe Live, on tv.

As ridiculous as it may be, that underlines the fact that they are human. Secondly it also shows that they listen to people's opinions which is a very good ingredient of democracy.

Obasanjo is one person who does what he wants and never cares whose ox is gored. So for him to even do what you have suggested means he is 'changing'.

If had you said that they knowingly do what they want with a prepared flimsy excuse to give afterwards in their minds then it would have been a different thing.

Your statement in this instance is giving them credit indirectly.

The Imam get 50 children?
He should be arrested!
If everybody toll that line, Nigeria will burst at the rims.
Haba?? 50? Him dey ever go mosque abi him dey pray inside bedroom??

And the man with 86 wives dey go where?

I think the INEC should step into this.

I was thinking they should disqualify any party involved in poster vandalism but then I realised that some people could vandalize their own posters in order to disqualify their opponents.
This is really sad both ways.

Animal politics!

Jarus:
I know this Imam. His mosque is situated inside GSS, Farfaru, Sokoto, which was used as our camp during our NYSC year. I have prayed Friday Juma'at under him in the past.

In all honesty though, I do not expect someone of his status in the society to be defacing anybody's posters.

You are being very reasonable here. The catch is that a man of his standing is doing such a thing. It is just like a Rev. father in his cassock defacing Buhari's campaign posters.

What he did has religious colouration. Two much religion in our politics which is a very negative point for anyone candidate whose appeal is due to his religious leaning.



Having said that, I think taking him to Abuja is like killing a mosquito with a machine gun. A caution by the police would have sufficed.
I expect Buhari to caution the Imams and I expect GEJ to release the guy ASAP

Is this different from the one that missed its target and killed 3 people?

The same Suleja . . .
