I think many of our SW people care less about history. Whereas our history birthed our present.

If IBB would contest, many Yoruba would vote for him. Denying Abiola his mandate won't count.

It amazes me. While moving ahead is a good thing, I wonder if doing so with a copious amount of amnesia is a good thing.

The youths are protesting what they term Buhari’s anti-democratic tendencies citing the extra-judicial killings of Bernard Ogedengbe, 29, Lawal Ojuolape, 30, Bathrolomeo Owoh, 26, over a retro-active drug law in 1984 when Buhari was head of state.

The youths are also protesting Buhari’s failure to show evidence of his academic qualifications which they described as a big question mark on his integrity. The youths call on genuine Nigerians to demand from INEC prove of his academic qualification to be stand for the February 14 presidential election.

Very genuine concerns.

Any sensible person should ask questions on these issues.

But as you have seen, common sense seems a myth like unicorn or phoenix with some people.

Can you show a pic of the engine please.

Will it fly for 400K sir?

@Nixanderstore,

Any news about yam export?

@Everyone, is this thread now only on whatsapp or this is just a temporary lull?

@Lekan, the lorry taking yam to Warri, does it not go through Benin?

pls I need this answer to do a survey for my school assignment. if money was not a concern for you at all, and you want to do agro-processing, what would you invest in and why?

Mango fruit to juice or canned fruit. Lots of it go to waste. Then Plantain. Lots go to waste in remote farms in Edo & Delta during raining season/bad farm roads.

I sleep well. Very well. After the dictator Buhari terrorised my relative for digging the rot during his regime, nothing shakes us anymore.

if you put a baby baboon in his position for the number of years he has spent in power, the baboon would have achieved more....

your ignorance is baffling & laughable at the same time. a leader is not only judged on few things he has done. he is also judged on what he has failed to do.

our country went from a peace-loving one into a terrorist haven under the big nose of jonathan and you are here holding a brief for the fool. what is more important than security of lives & properties of innocent citizens?

you have to be a rëtard to still want GEJ in power.

Peace-loving? When have Northerners been really peace-loving towards "infidels"? Like genocide of Igbo people that lead to the civil war? Or sporadic killing of Christians up North?

As far as I am concerned, Zik & Awo made the singular mistake of not going it alone at independence when Northerners were dragging their feet. The 40 years that Northerners ruled, what did they achieve apart from Gowon's (a Christian minority) regime of 9 years? So other Northern leaders are worse than baboon you mean? Because they achieved nothing. Not even Almajiri school.

Your cluelessness baffles me far more because you seem not to realise that Boko is a Northern political tool of destabilisation. To further their born-to-rule agenda.
Fact is, I don't feel any relationship with most Northerners who take religion & ethnicity as priority way before nationality. Those who would kill me without blinking because of my religion.

Those guys up North are not relevant to me, they should go form their extremist, women-oppressing, limb-chopping, eye-socket-gorging, women-stoning republic. Shikena.
Go join them and leave 9ja Delta oil alone

I'm thinking of plantain more.

halimaabi:
SCAM BUHARI IF YOU PASSED AND YOU ENTERED THE NIGERIA ARMY WITH LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION WHY DID YOU NOT USE YOU CERTIFICATE?WE ARE NO FOOLS THIS YOUR PRESS STATEMENT IS SAI CLULESS BUHARI.

You know those were the days they counted Malu Malu among Northern population to cheat the South. If a camel from the North wanted to enter the army then, they would have admitted it. Army wasn't for bright people then.

nwanna89:
I am sure the current administration is doing all these. The real problem with this Boko Haram issue is internal sabotage. I think the govt realized this late, and has started dealing with the problem. Many soldiers and officers are being charged now. Honestly, none of the ideas in that post wowed me. From what my soldier friend who is in the Northeast told me, all those ideas are being implemented currently.

.
What gullible Nigerians don't understand is that Buhari is saying only the military or ex-military can rule 9ja.

They planted saboteurs within the soldiers fighting Boko to undermine govt efforts.

He will call his boys to order, pay them hundreds of million of dollars behind our back. And all will hail.
But he might be in for a surprise, like Frankenstein's monster, he might not be able to control his boys anymore.

They are now allied to Al Qaeda & others. The group funded to create insecurity for political reasons may have grown massive wings.

If he wins o, and he manages to magic out a certificate.

coogar:
and GEJ is too weak to deal with the threat of boko haram.



how does all these nonsense affect the common man on the street? what's the value of a dollar to naira when GEJ was sworn in & what is it today?

do you people just whip out projects that are irrelevant to the suffering masses just for the heck of it? the 14 federal universities you mentioned, are they tuition free?

you embarrass yourself when you post this kinda nonsense on a public forum. this is what fraudulent politicians do to hoodwink stark illiterates in the village. is the poverty rate in nigeria improving or worsening? is unemployment rate improving or worsening?

.

Interesting. You couldn't dispute that the projects are true. Hahahahaha. The embarrassment is yours for your ignorance.

Food imports have also reduced greatly, you care to check out by how much? Nah, people like you don't care about facts and figures, just sentiments & rumours.

There's a lot more enthusiasm for farming thanks to seedlings supply, e-wallet to curb hitherto prevalent fertiliser scam, loans, banning import of certain foods we can easily produce etc. Lots of people run poultries, fish ponds now alongside their day job.

See our Agric thread on Nairaland and see how young people are embracing agric with various loans people can qualify for.

https://www.nairaland.com/agriculture

If a boost in agric/food production or almajiri schools, new universities, better roads don't benefit the masses, I don't know what does.
Now about economy & exchange rate. If we import less & export more, we need not fear a strong dollar. In fact we need a strong dollar.

Nigerian industrial base was not destroyed by GEJ, it's only gradually recovering under him. The push now is for export, not import & funding other countries industrial base.

If you are not lazy and you have business acumen, now is time to make money. Go into farming, food processing, food stuff export. High dollar rate favours export.

I'm currently considering many options in agriculture, despite being a gainfully employed professional.
Government don't create jobs anymore, apart from few civil service, police, armed forces, etc. They encourage individuals & private sector to lead job creation. So it is now worldwide.

Car plants like Nissan are back. Did VW plant at Ojo, Lagos close during GEJ's regime? What about PAN Kaduna?

Instead of being blinded by tribalism & propaganda, analyse GEJ performance against previous leaders.
You cannot blame 50 years of coups, mismanagement/embezzlement by others on GEJ.
Failure to control population growth & poor investment in 50 years are causes of unemployment. Is GEJ a magician?

GMB sacked civil servants massively including my top journalist relative who investigated the atrocities of his government. I witnessed it, maybe you were still an embryo then.

coogar:
and the man PDP decided to field is a rëtard. it was under his tenure boko haram rose from being ordinary street miscreants to a global terrorist organisation.

250 girls are still missing & he has proffered no solution to find them. an oyibo man in his shoes would have voluntarily resigned over that incident alone - but GEJ has no shame just like his idïotic supporters like yourself.

Well, Boko are carrying out the Northern threat to make Nigeria ungovernable & Buhari's threat to soak monkey & Baboon in blood, they're succeeding killing themselves.

A retard as you call GEJ:
(1) Built 14 Federal universities (10 in the North).
(2) Built Almajiris schools that Northern leaders failed to build in 50 years.
(30) Renovated airports more than any leader since OBJ in the 1970s
(4) Brought back railway that died in early 90s
(5) Electricity is improving gradually
(6) Federal Roads better than has ever been since about 1990 (I have used Lagos-Benin, Lagos-Ibadan, Lokoja-Abuja roads for 30 years, so I know)
(7) Small refineries coming on board.
( Wiped out Agric Scam with farmers e-wallet, wanted same by removing oil subsidy but Nigerians didn't get it.
(9) And many more.
For a retard, he has don more any other leader for over 30years, not bad.

With all the brains in Nigeria, Buhari, a man of "average intelligence" as remarked by his Commandant is what APC could field.

Very shameful.

Quest for power for the sake of it is bad.

Mykevp2p:
Don't tell me you are this daft or just playing a fool?

Before engaging you, do you know the difference between refinery and petrochemical plant? if you do, the question for you, Did Buhari build a refinery or formulated a plan for petrochemical plant? Do you know whay it is called Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company Limited after the merger?
Is Jim Ovia building a refinery or petrochemical plant in Akwa Ibom state?

I have told you, it is not every thread you reply, there are some threads you should just pass by instead of exposing your daftness.

.

Like Buhari struggling to present school cert, lots of his apologists are not very enlightened people. As represented by Victor "Penarity" Ikpeba. .

Buhari represents "Olodo come good" dream of school drop-outs. You know those people parroting "nor be education dey make person rich" but use the services of a doctor, dentist, lawyer, surveyor, accountant, pilot, journalist, architect, engineers etc.
They have little regard for critical analysis, statistics, empiricism or written history. Lies, sentiments, emotional outbursts, threat, intimidation, hearsay and rumours make more sense to them.

Dr Jona,
It's not really about performance. You have done more for Northerners than any Northern leader in a generation.

It's about ethno-religious politics & power grab.

The Northern elite like power so much but sadly, not for the benefit of Northerners or anybody else.

When did endorsement by individual become relevant in 9ja politics? I thought each individual has a single vote.

Is it that some Nigerians have no mind of their own and must be told who to vote for?

Your question should be how many pastors are actually called by God to serve?

EhiJeremiah:
I think he is referring to the post above the tweet of Osibanjo in the first photo

"Vote GMB, school doesn't matter"

.

Of course school doesn't matter in the North. That's why GMB never built a single classroom in 20 months in office. GEJ has built 14 Federal universities (including in GMB's home State) and Almajiri schools in the North that Northern rulers for 40 years never did.

Can you see the link with Boko Haram (Western Education is a Sin)? Boko Republic of Arewa in the making.

Down South, education is important. Go North & join illiterates.

barcanista:
So people chÀnting "Sai Buhari" is now equivaleÑt to attack? Every attempt to accuse the law abiding APC supporters will be resisted. After making Mockery of late Yaradua, you still expect their votes? GEJ is a goner.. We shall reject him next month

Sai Buhari

Yar'Adua made enough mockery of himself. Which good leader knows he's dying and clings to office, letting his wife & cabal run the country?

Nigerians are very emotional & sentimental. Good leaders resign when incapacitated. That's the constitution.

Is not voting for someone now equal to violence?

If Jonathan cannot campaign in the North, then the election outcome might be cancelled and the nation will boil over and break up as predicted.
That Niger Delta oil everybody is feasting on will be gone.

Northerners have a long history of intolerance. Ahmadu Bello always incited Northerners against Awolowo campaigning in the North.

Know your history and your so-called national heroes.

helica:
what if I am married? do u have problem with married women?

My dear, not at all o. In that case, na bouncing babies we go dey expect. The generation that will know their left from their right. The current one hailing a 72-year old failed dictator as national hero obviously doesn't.

A man who snubbed a democratic process like OPUTA PANEL addressing human rights abuses. He showed Nigerians 2 fingers.

utumunta:
comparing Buhari with Reagan and Mandela is a total miss. Both men did not achieve anything while in office. lnfact, Reagan and Bush, collectively, put America in more debt than all their past and present leaders put together.

Mandela? The man was asked to superitend over South Africa as reward for his selfless service to the country and father figure of the nation. He quit when he found the office tasking and challenging cos his hard-earned reputation kept sliding.

This is why it won't support Buhari. He represents a past we are no longer interested in, cos the world has moved forward and left his ilk behind. He should be confined to the past. If he is so interested in our development, let him groom younger leaders the way he deems fit for leadership.

.

In addition, GMB committed high treason by staging a coup. OBJ's govt in which he served made coup treason after Murtala was killed.

A man who molested the democratic will of Nigerians cannot now say he wants a democratic office. It's an anomaly.

crownprince102:
Dear Gumsu Abacha....... Why are you annoyed and disgusted, you should rather be ashamed and feel disgusted of your brother who is still backing GEJ despite this great assault on your family. With the advent of internet, your coming generation will meet this assault well documented in future. This memory will live on in the histoty of this country. It's a national disgrace if you don't know, I wonder what a foreigner would say if he realise a serving governor masterminded this. We ourselves are mocking our past heroes and we will all say their labour shall not be in vain. What a country.

.

There is no hero among those pictured. Too many people on NL are either too young or don't read.

Murtala Mohammed had an Islamic agenda, that's what Buhari took forward to apply for OIC membership. IBB completed it. Murtala destroyed the excellent civil service we inherited at Independence. Sacked Oxon, Cantab and London trained civil servants massively under guise of fighting corruption. Civil service collapsed from there. A heroic coup plotter? Such doesn't exist.
Just because OBJ was very generous to Murtala posthumously doesn't make him a hero.

Yar'adua was handpicked by OBJ, was ill throughout his regime. His only achievement was appeasing oil militants (using GEJ) to keep oil money flowing, he had no choice anyway.

Abacha looted recklessly. A tyrant.

Fayose maybe a thug, but he's not subservient like his people to Northerners.

Nigeria is one place people fear the truth like Ebola.

With these lot touted as national heroes, no wonder we're where we are.
I wonder what would qualify one as a villain in that country.

In Nigeria, truth is bitter.

The problem now is that the hubby might consider it a concocted lie by herself and her mum.

This is why parents should explain things to kids when they turn adult, like 18 to 21 years old.
Especially something as serious as this.
