Lagos state has so many agencies! And one good thing about Lagos agencies is that they pay relatively well. At least compared to other states. Infact, let me even post this document for you guys.

ProfessorPeter:
any Christian who vote Buhari he or she is indirectly voting for sharia, islamazation of Nigeria.

Lies lies lies! I'm a christian to the core (not just a church goer) and my vote and that of my family is going to Buhari.

That is the man that will change this country for good and set us on the right path.

Sai Buhari!

Mr man I was there at the APC mega rally live and I can confirm he used some derogatory words on the President which he wasn't supposed to used.APC has taken opposition too far joor.

#Nyesom Woke 2015#
For a united and prosperous Rivers state

U earlier stated that he insulted the president. I asked for the insults, u didn't table it. Now u are claiming he used derogatory statements. If indeed u are there as u claimed, tell us the insults u guys are claiming Amaechi subjected the president to otherwise u people should just keep quiet jor.

aguizm:
Ameachi has been known for spewing trash since his defection to APC . What do you expect from a failed politician. In advanced democracy u can't just come out and be insulting the President or is it because GEJ is a Democrat to the core. As for day of reckoning it is not too far again because come 2015 we rivers people will surely align with our brother GEJ till 2019 and for ameachi a self contained cell is already built and ready for him after 2015 and beyond. He should come out and tell us the wonderful transformation he did in rivers state abi him don turn Rivers state to Ne w York? That he is also fast in pointing accusing fingers on the President.

#less I forget Nyesom Wike for governor 2015#
For a better and prosperous Rivers.

Please use your head? Which insults are you talking about?? The man made a categorical statement that the president has not achieved much in Rivers state and in Nigeria. Instead of you to counter his assertions you are claiming that the man insulted the president.

Please state the exact insults Amaech used on the president pls. And post a valid link where we can confirm it.

Why are the GEJ team not listing out projects to refute Amaechi??

Why are they issuing subtle threats to him instead?

PLS can someone help me out. The PDP guys are always claiming that Amaechi insults Jonathan, but I don't seem to see/hear such insults. Kindly post such insults for me wt valid reference.

spankyflex:
its obvious u really hate this man

Pls how come whenever anybody states their criticism to the way GEJ is running this country aground u'll all be shouting 'hate' 'hate' 'hate'?

clemzo101:
The battle line has bin drawn!!! If I'm Jonathan I will call Amechi to round table discussion have a deal with him and bring him back to the party, Amechi is more important to PDP dan Wike!!! Take it or leave it. Wike will only bring PDP down if fielded as their candidate. Imagine a deal reached and Amechi returning to PDP with the kind of support base he has APC will just bcom a thing of the past. because dere is no APC in Rivers state without Amechi.......Adise for GEJ....... sacrifice Wike now

Amaechi is very relevant! Just leave those kids all over Nairaland that insults him just because he chose not to lick GEJ's ass.

Some people are so chicken hearted in this country. How can people that have brains be shouting all over that because someone leaves a ruling party, the person's political life has ended??

Some brains needs to be checked in this country. Imagine oh, some people wants to turn Nigeria into a one-party state. And they so myopic that they cannot see that such situation breeds impunity!

I just don't understand. We have the opportunity of having parties that cuts across regions/ethnicities/religions and some people are still trying all they can to make sure that does not happen.

Our dream of having a balanced and competitive democracy is greater than GEJ ambitions.

How come when PDP is contesting in SW u don't hear any name calling like hausa party, Yoruba party, igbo party, christian/muslim party, etc. But when elections are being held or discussed in the SS/SE that is where different ethnic/religious sentiments will be thrown up.

Is it not obvious this is the antics of desperate politicians.

I admire the likes of Amaechi and Rochas. These are the kind of people who earns an enviable place in history. People who instead of following the easy path of doing AGIP decided to stand in opposition.

Amaechi is a dogged fighter and he is going to give PDP a run for their money.

naijaking1:
I'm not sure of his position in APC, but they need to call him to order as a national party, otherwise he would risk speaking for all of them.

Junaid is trying to replace the hate monger-Sarduana of Sokoto in this 2014? We'll see where that takes him.

Junaid Mohammed has never really been competitive, that's why he ended up in Russian to study medicine, instead of UK, France, Germany or USA. Ever heard of any great medical feat from Russia
Unfortunately, and like all non-competitive tribalist, he would rather blame other people for his own deficiencies, Igbos got news for him this time around.

He is not a member of the APC.

Cool thread.

SeunEatsGARRI:
Please change your signature, please Berem! I happen to know the family of one of the slain NYSC members during the post 2011 elections crisis. The mum has never been herself since then and this family is IGBO!

He died as a result of the "dogs and baboon", statement that caused an uproar in the north which led to the killing of these innocent NYSC corps members.

This is the same man you are asking God to bless?
This is the same man you are supporting?

Berem, oh Berem where is thy conscience?

Why una like to dey lie like this. The 'dogs and baboon' statement was not made immediately after the election. It was made more than a year after and it was in reference to 2015. And we have even being told it's a proverb in hausa language that means 'struggle'.

Chigold101:
no sir someone in thenorthern part of america has vowed to purnish nigeria for reasons best known to them. They dont want nigeria to buy arms from them and they also dont want their allies to sell arms to nigeria. They have actually achieved their aim cos returning the money still mean that arms where not bought (yet). Using our african brothers to fight us will make them look innocent. As they always do, they will come to play the role of peace maker. Letme stop here sha

Conspiracy theories and excuses given by the FGN.

Now even going by ur own assertions, it still means the Nigerian govt did not follow due process. How silly can that be, they want to secretly smuggle cash into another country to buy arms without informing such a country.

And you are still saying it followed due process.

If SA does not want us to buy arms from them or through them, why can't they simply go elsewhere instead of trying to play smart? And at the end they now looked foolish.

It is still the same Nigerian mentality of not wanting to follow due process but trying to play smart on the system.

We see it everyday in Nigeria. Be it on a simple queue, or at traffic red light, or while trying to process documents. Majority of Nigerians don't like submitting to due process. They always think they can outsmart every other person. When the bubble now burst, they will now start playing dirty and coming up wt spurious stories.

The first time, they told u u went about it the wrong way. Fine. You now decided to do a wire transfer the 2nd time trying to do it the right way, albeit thru a company whose licence has expired for months without getting a renewal.

Are they not supposed to do all the proper checks the 2nd time to ensure everything sails thru without issues?

Assuming they have informed the SA govt thru diplomatic channels, they would have been told the company in question does not have a valid licence to trade in arms at tht particular time.

But they sha want to play smart in another man's country and embarrassed themselves in the process.

delishpot:
My dear berem, this is no time for sentiments. A wise person will keep calm and listen to both parties and then in his wisdom make a decision. To tell the truth 'That which you call a rose by any other name, will still smell as nice'
If buhari is clean, his record will speak for him

His records speak for him! That is why he has so many supporters who don't care about religious/ethnic sentiments.

...but support him based on the sole belief that he can bring a positive change.

I don't care about the region the president hails from. All I care about is performance.

Chigold101:
what dou understand by the word due process? What happend in both transactions is what you can never understand cos u r not privy to any security information.

I guess the South African govt too was not privvy to same security information. And tht is what makes it short of due process.

If it followed due process, there wouldn't have been any issue.

chidistone:
Did u say Crap, innuendos and lies? Did I forged them or. are the not facts that are there before you. Buhari is not your father and will never be. Don't allow ethnic sentiments cover your sense of reasoning! Vote wisely

If u didn't forge them, that means other bigots forged them for you & delivered it to u to propagate.

I will advise u to stop blackmailing another man's character, otherwise you may reap the fruits in a terrible way in the future.

Buhari is not my father, I never told you that. He is not even my tribe's man. So I wonder why u are talking of ethnic sentiments.

But he is getting my vote in 2015, tht of my entire household and that of majority of my friends.

Instead of maligning his character, why not actively campaign for the person u feel is right for the job? Why not showcase the person's good side?

BUHARI Is Corrupt And Not clean.
**a man that stole $2.8billion in 1978 as NNPC Fed
commissioner.
**Buhari advised Muslims not to vote any Christian
candidate.
**as PTF Chairman, Buhari embezzled billions of
Naira through over-invoicing of supplies & the
supply of fake & expired drugs to hospitals
Which Buhari is clean? It is only in Nigeria that a
man who embezzled $2.8 billion NNPC money while
he was Federal Commissioner of Petroleum in 1978
will be described as disciplined, isn't it? "It is only in
Nigeria that a man who led the criminal overthrow
of a democratically elected government in 1984
would later wish to benefit from the same
democracy.
"It is only in Nigeria that the man who, as Head of
State, allowed 56 illegal suitcases of currency notes
into the country through his ADC unchecked when
there was currency change by his own government
in the country at the time would be described as a
man of his words. "It is only in Nigeria that the man
who enacted RETROACTIVE DECREES and used them
to murder Lawal Ojuolape, Bartholomew Owoh and
Bernard Ogedengbe would be promoted as being
better than others.
"It is only in Nigeria that the man who enacted
vindictive decrees which prescribed long jail terms
for journalists for publishing stories which
embarrassed government officials EVEN IF THE
STORIES WERE TRUE resulting in the illegal jailing of
Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor is now better
than the President Jonathan who has signed the FOI
bill into law to enable all citizens to have unhindered
access to information on Government activities.
What an irony! "It is only in Nigeria that the man
who was overthrown in 1985 by Babangida and
spontaneous jubilations erupted all over the country
would have the guts to seek to replace people who
are far better than he.
**"It is only in Nigeria that the man who later
accepted appointment as PTF Chairman under the
MOST CORRUPT government ever in Nigeria's
history and then commandeered more than 200 PTF
vehicles for private use in his home in Kaduna
would not be in jail today.
Remember, he later said that Abacha did not loot
anything from Nigeria! This is the man who, in his
supporters' opinion, will have zero tolerance for
corruption!
**"It is only in Nigeria that the man who, as PTF
Chairman, embezzled billions of Naira through over-
invoicing of supplies and the supply of fake and
expired drugs to hospitals is now a disciplined man.
Why did Ahmed Salihijo, whose consortium was in
charge of all the PTF contracts under Buhari,
commit suicide when former President Obasanjo
commenced the probe of PTF in 1999?
**"It is only in Nigeria that the man who lost
election and incited his supporters to violence which
claimed the lives of innocent people including NYSC
members and had the nerve to still open his bigoted
mouth and criticise actions designed to stop
continued madness is now a disciplined man. God!
**"It is only in Nigeria that a former Head of State
would ask Muslims not to vote for Christians and,
when he is criticised, would later lie on Radio
Nigeria, Kaduna, that what he meant was that
Muslims should vote for only those who can protect

"It is only in Nigeria that a former Head of State
would refuse to condemn Boko Haram murderers in
their evil activities including bombing innocent
Christian worshippers in churches but is quick to
support amnesty for the same murderers.
**"It is only in Nigeria that a former Head of State

Boko Haram.
**"It is only in Nigeria that a former Head of State
CANNOT
speak or write simple and correct English
and prefers to speak vernacular most of the time
and then his supporters would insist that his
meaning was lost in translation.
Have you guys ever understood Buhari when he
speaks? "When this mad bigot overthrew Shehu
Shagari in January 1984, he, out of crude tribalism,
placed President Shagari (who, according to late
Olusola Saraki, presided over most of the shady
NPN deals under his watch) under mere house
arrest but clamped Vice President Ekwueme (who
the tribunals later said was squeaky clean) into
Kirikiri like a common criminal.
"Not done with this naked tribalism, Muhammadu
Buhari sent soldiers to ransack Obafemi Awolowo's
residence in Ikenne and harass his household even
though Awolowo was not a member of the
government that was toppled.
"And for your information, the only reason why
Muhammadu Buhari toppled Shagari's government
in 1984 was that the then Federal Executive Council
under Shagari had just traced the missing
N2.8billion to Buhari's foreign account and had just
set up a panel to probe and recover the loot.
"Believe me, any objective, dispassionate analysis of
Buhari's activities must surely come to one
conclusion and one conclusion only, namely: The
only set of people whose IQ is lower than that of
Muhammadu Buhari are his supporters Vote
wisely ..

Crap. Innuendos and lies aimed at tainting the people's General.

Your stories are not different from that of other bigots before you. We know your type.

Your blackmailing lines are stale jor. Come up wt something better.


Meanwhile....

GMB for president 2015-2019!

The man that will set Nigeria on the right path.


***
You bigots should get used to the fact that this General will preside over this country. So stop giving yourselves unnecessary high BP.

And where did u pick up this story from?

Ikengawo:
anyone saying he will loss in the SW is going on a special list i'm keeping. I will be systematically laughing at each person on that list after the election one by one

And I will laugh at u in return. He can only have a close call in Ekiti and Lagos. I can assure u of that.

His having relatively heavy votes in Ekiti compared to other SW states is just becos of the love the Ekiti people has for Fayose which may swing to President Jonathan's advantage if Fayose actively campaigns for him.

Thank God. I just hope Nigeria has learnt her lesson on due process and stop embarrassing her citizens unnecessarily.

Some people fit done dey strategise on another avenue to steal that $15million sef. Chai, there is God oh.

Demdem:

Jonathan came in and adopted the same rot. The fool even went further to appoint ambassador at large. Yeye dey smell.

I am a supporter of APC and Buhari, but sir I would appreciate if you can tone down your abuses on the president. You can criticise him as you deem fit and show the rot in his govt, but try not to resort to abuses.

Tnx

Pls how come most PDP/Jonathan supporters always drum up ethnic/religious sentiments.

Does it mean that is the only strategy they have come up with to win the 2015 elections?

The OP is a cunny Bigot cum fraudster!!

He/she purposely cut off the part he explained that some uninformed muslims are misinterpreting Jihad. The governor stated that jihad is not war nor violence against Christians and others.

Aregbesola backs Jihad, opposes B’Haram

OCTOBER 24, 2014 BY FEMI MAKINDE


The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has said that there is nothing wrong with Jihad, which he described as an Islamic concept that seeks to promote the establishment of a personal relationship with Allah by Muslims.

The governor, who said this in Ile Ife on Thursday while delivering a lecture titled, “Muslims’ response to insurgency threat in Nigeria” at the 6th annual Femi Lateef Okunnu lecture series, however, flayed the Boko Haram sect for using Jihad as a justification for their violent attacks.

The lecture was organised by the Nigeria Association of Muslim Law Students of the Obafemi Awolowo Awolowo University, Ile Ife.

Aregbesola lamented the gross misunderstanding of Jihad to mean war or violence.

Aregbesola said, “Jihad should not be turned into a license to unleash terror on people, Muslims and Christians alike and as well as to destabilise the nation.

“Contrary to the claims by groups such as the Boko Haram sect, Jihad is neither a call to arms nor an ideological blueprint for destructive insurgency. Jihad in Islam is at its core about establishing a personal relationship with Allah. The meaning of Jihad in Islam is a total submission to the will and obedience to the laws of Allah.

“Submitting to Allah’s will is an act of conscious choice granted to mankind by God; obeying His laws is a demonstration and vindication of that submission.

“They abused notion of Jihad often used as justification for satanic atrocities of insurgent groups, such as the Boko Haram sect, is a gross misapplication of the concept.

“Jihad is far from being an open cheque for senseless violence, neither is it a Qur’anic endorsement of the pursuit of selfish political desires.

“The concept of Jihad in Islam simply means ‘struggle’ or ‘striving.’ It has two broad dimensions – external and internal striving.”

He argued that Boko Haram and other insurgent groups had no justification in Islam to back the violence they unleashed on the people.

He added, “If Islam thus forbids violence against innocents, how does Boko Haram justifies the senseless killings, maiming, kidnappings of innocent women, children, and girls?”

Happy birthday! LLnP!

This is very bad. Why should some people be peddling wrong/fake information and news just to stir up ethnic rivalry, bitterness & anger?

Has politics now made some people to abandon their reasoning faculty?

The source provided is a blog, and the story in question I couldn't locate on the blog. I even took my time to check up to page 5.

This is very bad. Admin needs to close this thread and issue appropriate sanction to the OP.

OLUSOLA FABIYI of PUNCH newspaper writes on the recent defection of over 5,000 members of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress in Kogi State

The opposition All Progressives Congress recently had cause to celebrate the entrance of fresh defectors from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party. The fears that the party’s leaders may not grace the occasion gave way to jubilation when the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, joined notable members of the party at the rostrum.

Odigie-Oyegun was at his best when he reeled out numerous reasons why the PDP should be voted out of power in the state and at the federal levels come 2015.

For beginners, he asked all present to take a look at the dilapidated roof of the stadium. He also wondered if youths in the state were not interested in playing football due to the stadium’s poor standard and lack of maintenance. Some of the party’s supporters at the stadium laughed, others cursed and yet others called the state government and its leaders unprintable names.

Odigie-Oyegun, a one-time governor of Edo State, expressed his sympathies with the state civil servants, especially teachers. He said, “Teachers are not paid. Workers are not paid. It is a challenge for you to ensure that they (PDP) do not rise again. “Potholes are all over the roads. It is not an easy job. But we shall not make the mistake we made in the past by not protecting our votes. I want to assure you that the APC is the only party with vision. It is dependable and willing to change things.”

According to him, it was a thing of joy to see over 5,000 members of the ruling party abandoning the umbrella for broom, which is the symbol of the APC.

The defectors were led by a former acting governor of the state, Chief Clarence Olafemi, a former House of Assembly Speaker, Abdullahi Bello, and a former chairman of the party, John Odahu. With other defectors, the downpour did not prevent them from trooping into the stadium, where they told the gathering that they were no longer members of the ruling PDP.

Just as they were dancing and singing, supporters of the defectors as well as members of the APC, who have eyes on elective offices – held the banners of their candidates and the offices they were seeking above their heads.

Apart from Olafemi, Bello, and Odahu, seven members of the state House of Assembly, Daudu Attah, Ambassador Isaac Onu, 20 former local government chairmen, and Echocho Youths Vanguard stood up to be counted as part of the defectors.

Supporters of presidential aspirants such as a former Head of State, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and the Governor of Kano State, Alhaji Rabiu Kwankwaso, also used the occasion to sing the praises of their aspirants as the three presidential political heavyweights, who were present, watched with contentment.

The national chairman of the party however cautioned members of the party against complacency. He noted that he would have had more cause to celebrate if party members in Niger State had defended their votes during the recently concluded bye-election to fill a vacant senatorial seat.

He said it was apparent that his party was on the verge of winning the bye-election, expressing regret that instead of the members of the APC to protect their votes, they went home dancing, an action he said gave the PDP the opportunity to manipulate the results.

Odigie-Oyegun, how-ever, told the cheering crowd that things have come to change for better in the Confluence State.

He reminded the crowd about some scandals trailing the ruling PDP-led Federal Government. He said, “Have we forgotten the N20bn? Have we forgotten the N225m armored cars? Can we forget the $9.3m? Can we forget Boko Haram? And, look at it here in Kogi State; look at the very stadium we are standing on, the government cannot fix its roof. Is this what we want?”

The party chairman also said the end has come for the ruling party’s hold at the federal level and in some states, especially Kogi. He said the defection of the former acting governor, the former speaker, members of the state house of assembly, youth leaders, former local government chairmen and others were all indications that the PDP needed help, which he said would not come.

In his short address at the occasion, Buhari urged Nigerians not to vote for those he described as treasury looters during the 2015 general elections.

Buhari said, “Stealing must be stopped in 2015 and we will make sure that nobody takes money from the treasury and puts it in his pocket because it is the people’s money. The money is not meant for stealing but for development. So, you should be up and doing so that we can change the system from councillor to the president.”

Atiku said the APC would wrest power from Governor Idris Wada and President Goodluck Jonathan. He said both leaders “have failed the state and the nation.”

A former governor of the state, Alhaji Abubakar Audu, assured the defectors that their future was bright in the APC. He appealed to them to join hands with others to wrest power from the PDP in the state.

Others who attended the event include the APC Deputy National Chairman, Senator Lawal Shuaibu; the party’s National Vice Chairman, South-West, Mr. Segun Oni; a former Minister of State for Petroleum, Shuaib Abdullahi, APC National Treasurer, Bala Muhammed and the party’s National Organising Secretary, Senator Osita Osinazo, among others. They all joined Odigie-Oyegun in presenting the APC flag to the defectors.

And the wind of change continues to blow. The signs are clear. The masses want change!
I'm sure more people will abandon the Poverty Development Party (PDP) before the general elections next year.

TRUTHTELA:
I can't believe how DEBASED and RETROGRESSIVE certain Nigerian youths are. You mean to tell me that the same folks that keep screaming that " FASHOLA IS WORKING, HE'S THE BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO NIGERIA," are the same people clamoring for him to be a VP to Buhari?? Firstly, a VP, has no power. A VP, can't do NOTHING, other than going to represent his boss wherever they're commissioning projects.

A VP, can't influence his boss. Let me make it clear to you all, Buhari, just like other core muslim northerners, are SOCIALIST/ COMMUNIST oriented, the HATE/DESPISE capitalism, with passion. Fashola, on the other hand, is an educated Yourba man, meaning, he's a CAPITALIST and has become ELITIST. Basically, if they win the election, Fashola, will be CAGED, ( the north wouldn't want him to outshine his boss) and your disappointment will set in. Ask yourself, why Awolowo, was always clamoring for TRUE FEDERALISM and Northerners never liked him because of it.

Further, Obasanjo, destroyed and ridiculed Office of the VP, in Nigeria, when he was trying to stop Atiku, consequently, Jonathan, experienced so much RIDICULE and CONTEMPT from his boss, Yar'adua, remember how all that contempt manifested itself when Yar'adua, became sick/incapacitated and GEJ, punished those that rubbished him as VP then.

Again, as you expect magic, remember ,a VP, can only do what his boss asked him to do. Constitution doesn't know VP. Nobody remembers that Sambo or Joe Biden, exist, only when there's an official event in the seat of power you see them in video or camera and that's about it.

If you think Fashola, is that GREAT, why don't y'all clamor or pressurize APC to give him the presidential ticket? Or it's the turn of the Northerners?

If Buhari, and other Northerners in APC, sees Fashola, as a valuable performer that will appease the masses, then why can't they step down for the young man to take the "LAGOS REVOLUTION " to the federal level? If an ordinary muslim in the North can't accept and vote for a Fashola, then Nigeria's problem is BIGGER than you think and people are postponing the dooms day.

I expected the youths cheering up for Buhari, to point to one or two of his legacies that endeared him to them, none, rather, many are supporting Buhari, simply cos they want to see GEJ, leave, some are supporting cos APC, presented him or he will pick their kinsman as VP. It's a shame. If you wish to have great leader as president, there you have it in Fashola, because he has DONE/DOING things that people have witnessed. Buhari, on the other hand, was in office when majority of you weren't even born and if you talk about Buhari's legacies at PTF, there goes the big trouble because he is being accused of doing MAJORITY of his projects in the NORTH ( for his people).

If your thinking is that Buhari, will fight corruption, then you must be RETARDED or have no UNDERSTANDING of how democracy functions. Nigerian, JUDICIARY is a MESS, they will frustrate Buhari. The National Assembly, is the world HQ of corruption, imagine a house with the likes of David Mark, T.A Orji ( if he wins senate tho), Farouk Lawan, and you think they'll support LAWS and POLICIES that will send them to jail?

There's something called SEPARATION OF POWERS. Buhari, will need the LAWS to jail a corrupt politician. Why do you think Yar'dua used the " RULE OF LAW " mantra to shield his corrupt friends ( Ibori and ex-governors ) ? Buhari jailed corrupt politicians when he was a military leader, meaning, LAWLESSNESS was the order of the day. No checks and balances. His words are the law. In addition, Buhari, is hobnobbing with Obasanjo, Tinubu, and so many other rouges in APC, and you think he'll jail them simply because of you? Wake up folks!

All these years of LOSING ELECTIONS and being RIDICULED has changed Buhari. Buhari, has being compromised and he'll compromise in office. I mean, Buhari of OLD, will NEVER, EVER want to associate with Tinubu and Obasanjo, simply cos they're PLAIN ROGUES and he doesn't have patience for their ilk. Circumstances changes people.

To them that HATES GEJ, so badly, simply cos he's a southern/christian president, you better have your own kinsman to rule over your region, not Nigeria, with other ethnic groups, you can't rule over people that you have NOTHING in common with. Nigeria, of 21st century is different from the one of 60's. If you doubt me, ask why the coup plotters/sponsors in chief, refuse to sponsor one.

To them that think that GEJ, is not a good leader and they just want a GOOD and VISIONARY LEADERSHIP, I expected you to support someone better, a 21st century young fella, a FASHOLA/TAMBUWAL, vice versa, is more appealing on the global arena, then, if APC, can't present this two or think that these two young men can't win elections for them, then it's a reconfirmation of how much of a FAILURE that Nigeria is. Give these two young people the ticket and let them SQUARE IT OUT with GEJ, on the ballot box, then Nigerians, will decide. Whoever lose will go home and the wheel of govt. will continue moving. It's called DEMOCRACY and CIVILITY.

Finally, to them that just want anything to occupy ASO ROCK, as long as it's not GEJ, be careful what you wish for. Remember, how Egyptians, thought that Mubarak, was their problem? After he was kicked out, their eyes opened and they saw the DEVILS that Mubarak, kept in check, hence, anarchy was the order of the day. The same thing happened in Libya, after Gadafi, what next ? A nation in ruins, bombs and rockets dropping everywhere like water. Had I known comes at last.

GEJ, must not be the president, but fussing him out through bombing and social unrest, might bring the nation to its knees. Myself, I will like to see a VISIONARY, DETRIBILAIZED and 21st CENTURY ORIENTED Nigerian to defeat GEJ fairly at the pools and occupy aso rock.

FYI, it's not EASY and nearly IMPOSSIBLE to defeat an INCUMBENT Nigerian president. It's not just about Jonathan, it's the office itself and how Nigeria is presently structured

Crap

Sai Buhari 2015-2019

Good. Let the progressive wind keep blowing.

ratiken:
It would be freezing over in hell before Buhari presides over a peaceful Nigeria. Its just plain impossible.

hahaaa ahaaaa. See signs of frustration. Pls dont wish yourself the first death and then the 2nd death (hell fire).

General Buhari will win next year's election, he will rule peacefully and he will set Nigeria on the path to greatness.

explorer250:
Jonathan this,jonathan that. WHAT IS IT THAT JONATHAN HAS ACTUALLY DONE WRONG? Why are we nigerians filled with much hate for our dear president? Jonathan is the best president so far since the independence of Nigeria. Among all the heads of states and presidents that ruled nigeria so far, who among them can compete against jonathan in times infrastructure,power,food security,transparency,good governance and all other sectors of the economy?. Do we know that Nigeria cleared its debt from the world bank during jonathan administration?, do we know that power is more steady in Nigeria during his administration?, do we know that the price of petroleum products was most stable in jonathans administration compared to the previous one?, do we know that nigeria became the largest economy in africa during jonathans administration?, do we know that we recorded so many victories in our sports uner Gej administration?. The things mr president has done for this country is unspeakable. If we say that jonathan is corrupt, then he would be a saint with respect to previous administrations. During obj administration there was a hike in the prices of petroleum products, the economy was in shambles, the naira kept loosing its value etc. But despite these facts no one opposed or lambasted him as many is doing to Gej. Simply because he was kept there by the north. Nigeria was in total darkness and debts during previous administrations but there was an improvement during Gej regime. Are we going to talk of federal roads that was built during Gejs administration? Do we know that our airports was raised to world standard during Gej regime? For those who has been to our airports will bear me witness. The question i am still asking is "what on earth has jonathan done wrong on this country?". Lets move to the political arena. Corruption is at every nook and crany of the country, agreed. But to say that PDP is corrupt and that APC is not or less is a hypocritical statement because not less than 50% of APC members are from PDP. I am not here to render any political support to any party but i must say the truth that the north and the APC is playing politics of bitterness. I woke up one morning only to hear from my television that jonathan just commissioned a 100bn project at the insurgence ravished north east. I was very amazed and suprised. Jonathan has done a lot for the north in terms of federal projects. I can not arguably say that over 70 to 80% of the federal project commissioned by the president is at the north. Jonathan is working, only at the north, i have not felt the impact of federal projects here in the east. The only thing i know that jonathan has done for the east is the making of enugu airport an international one, the so called(which am not sure) second Niger bridge and the appointment of some igbos as key ministers which the general populace of igbos is not benefiting from. The only good thing we igbos has benefitted from jonathan since his ascention to the throne of presidency is that our goods are no longer seized by yorubas at the lagos wolf, under the disguise of contra-ban goods which are later found at the market but this time in the hands of yorubas traders who bought the "expensive igbo goods" at give away price from their fellow yoruba high ranking custom officials. Apart from these, there is no meaningful thing igbos has benefited from Gej administration. But at the side of the north countless roads, dams, irrigation projects, airports, school, infrastructures etc has been built for them by Gej. Not Everybody at otuoke and the entire ss,se and sw has gone to school but gej took the pains to educate the illiterate almajiris, provide fertilisers,improved seeds and farm machines to them for their agricultural devpt. Yet the north has still vowed never to see him at 2015. Am not suprised since they said that they are born to rule. Igbos are people that do not depend on governnent yet the are among the few most succesful ethnic group in Nigeria likewise the west. I think that the north should focus more on the development of their people educationally. Encourage hardwork among their people and not to play the politics of bitterness, vowing to hold power at the detriment of other at all cost. If any region should oppose the re-election of jonathan i think the south west is justified to do so. Because despite their support for him, he has not lived up to expectations to them. I blame Gej for wasting his 6yrs trying to please the north at the detriment of sw,se and ss. Under normal circumstances the whole south shouldnt vote Gej it should be the north that should do everything possible to vote him considering the various things he has done for them. But yet the have accused him of a lot of things he is innocent of. I will describe the action of northern politicians opposing Gej as "INGRATES". Do we know that if you tell those accusing Gej to say what he has done wrong, none of them can present something tangible?. Please, have we ever heared that Gej has illegally looted of any money from the nations coffers? But it is on record that Buhari was not probed for the missing oil $2.8bn when he was the minister of petroleum. So what happend to that money?. Or have we forgotten about his religious and tribal speech? To the supporters of buhari, if you say that you want to vote Gej out based on corruption or on the basis of being tribal or religious then you are a hypocrite, this is because Gej is a saint if the sins of buhari are counted, Pls anybody can quote me wrong on this. I am not to be anti buhari but i want we nigerians to be honest on our resons of voting. If we say that Gej is corrupt then please feel free to present your evidence. I think that the problem with we nigerians is that we have been blinded by tribal and religious sentiments. I think that the only sin jonathan has committed is that he is not a northerner! This write up is written to address people who are opposing the good regime of Gej. So i want people who think that Gej should be voted out to present their tangible reasons or propose a better candidate and why the candidate is better. So present your cases especially the aggrieved northerners lets debate on it! FOR NIGERIANS AND IGNORANT NAIRALANDERS MUST BE TOLD THE TRUTH!

We dont hate him! get that into your thick skull. But we hate the way he has been governing this country. Poverty and lack is on the increase while there is no noticeable change between now and when he took over like 5 years ago. All they are doing is churning out fake statistics that does not affect the life of the common people.

Why are you people going about lamenting that GEJ is hated? Are you trying to stir up sentiments for him?

We dont hate him, but we are voting him out come Feb 2015 because of his abysmally low performance!

We are voting Buhari 2015! Simple. You guys should stop giving yourselves unnecessary headache.

The masses have given Pres Jona his own chance and he blew it.

The wind blowing now is that of change!

And for your information, Buhari supporters are passionate and so sure about his abilities to turn things around in this country. We are not supporting him based on ethnic and religious sentiments/stomach infrastructure.

We dont care about tribe, religion and other mundane things! We hate corruption and nepotism with passion and we know that the People's General is capable of reducing this by at least 70%! We have discovered that it is corruption that is affecting the general well-being of majority of Nigerians.

Vote GMB 2015 and see the Nigeria of our dreams manifesting.

Pathetic creatures showing signs of frustrations in Oct already. I just hope you people will not die from high BP before Feb next year. And from stroke when he will be sworn in as President in May.


GMB 2015!

Vote change! Kick out corruption, nepotism and economic high-handedness.
