Zombie, we know ur irks

I don't Have Time to waste on FOOls today.... stay off my post...

if this type of person criticized the president I will understand, cus it will be objective nt political. I served in gombe, I know how much this social investment programme has helped that state. if Buhari has done what is good applaud him, when he is wrong state it. but certain category of people in this country have been blinded by hate, just because they don't like him... and those who think Atiku will stroll to victory in the North East should please think again.... Buhari in that area is a small god, especially areas that are close to Yobe nd Adamawa states. Those are places that were consumed by insurgency. like Funakaye Local Government, in Ashaka, where I stayed, the cement plant was once attacked in blood daylight by insurgents, operations had to halt for some time. Banks such as union bank, Zenith bank UBA were vandalized, till today those buildings are still der as proof. UBA just resumed operations der dis year, Zenith has closed for good. if u live in that area u will give Buhari his due, people there knw how much peace they have seen since this man took over. someone will sit in d comfort of his house and type Atiku NE in a sure win. A lot of people don't just knw how much Buhari means to those guys when people like Buratia flyers alone is selling like food up there.. Atiku will get votes, but he can't defeat Buhari as some people feel, that's the painful truth....

what makes u think PDP has Nigeria at heart... the congregation that destroyed this country have regrouped, they thought APC was another looting ticket, when it proved otherwise, they fled and went back to their abobe.. Dino "home sweet home". PDP was in power for 16years, if they were doing the right things, most of the issues we have today we wouldn't be talking of them. is a shame some people don't reason just because the cloud of hate has covered their senses.

FarahAideed:
you can see the the kind of brainwashed idiots that still support Buhari

who is the most brainwashed? The person supporting Buhari or the ones believing Buhari is an imposter, the person who has forgotten where this country came from, how 16 years of stable democracy yielded no dividend aside thievery of which only the political elites benefited from, when corruption was celebrated, when projects were awarded, paid for nd never completed or even lifted off the drawing board in some cases?. if anyone forgets how PDP messed up this country that person in deed has been brain-wiped or brain-swapped, not even washed..

After paying over $285 Million for license. The Ten year tax free ended many years ago by the way

I like this Man, politics aside. the guy pulls crowd were ever he goes. people just like him

The guy is even bold enough to say that PDP awarded the contract in 2012. so for 3 good years nothing was done after awarding it.. I have never seen a set of people so foolish in my life before. it's true common sense is no longer common.

this guy just wants to be noticed,... that's all...

okay make them elect Barawo instead. when time of election reach u carry maths textbooks go d share talk rubish. waiting u do for d past 3years... no politician go tell me waiting or who to vote, they are all selfish and looking out for their interest alone.

sekundosekundo:
Look at your own "English dis" instead of this.

bros I use short hand... stay off my post, I don't hv time for ur lot...

start good... na so u go start am until u finish one term, then use am again for campaign for second term. to change simple sentence for Nigerian constitution self they no d fit do am, talk more of multiple sections. those electorate eating with this man should better use a long spoon...

I don't know for some of u, but my place light has been at least 18 hours daily Ohh..

one Nairalander was bragging about Atiku's English, most especially his policy document. I said that thing was written by people who don't obviously know dis country... look at "English worse of' instead of worse off.

Everyone Rejecting this Guy... there is something about him that is not right probably... To govern is not by force, If God no give u, u no fit take am.

id911:
You're not ashamed of being led by someone who can't differentiate his left from right? I challenge you to give Mohammedu Buhari a microphone to speak to Nigerians live and ATIKULATE his policies and programs without reading from a prepared material

a Policy Document atiku paid people to write, He spent a whole month in Dubai reading, but couldn't even understand it. " Grow this by 300%, grow dat by 400%" what nonsense textbook copy and paste, Talk is cheap and when d time came for him to speak. he started talking of selling NNPC. I know fools were happy when he said that, instead of getting proceeds of crude oil sales he wants taxes instead, when companies are perfecting the act of tax Avoidance. it's not that he even wants the thing to work. but because he would have the full guarantee to Buy part of it himself, OBJ warned abt Dis man. Nigerians never see anything, make them vote in these people first, looting will be redefined in this country.

FearGodinall:
. There is nothing of such, it shows those truly want to get things done rightly in Nigeria,because free,fair and credible election is what every sane Nigeria is looking up to.Or you don't want electoral syetem to improve.

did u bother to check d reasons y he has not yet signed it? once some people decide to hate a person, nothing he does is right. if Buhari signs this Bill d way it is, the same people shouting he should sign will be the once saying he created a pass for electoral malpractice. now look at some sections that u obviously don't mind


Section 63(4) of the “old” electoral act addresses
the issue of counting of votes and forms. This
subsection says the presiding officer should count
and announce the result at the polling units. The
amended version to this subsection strikes out
COUNT and simply states that the presiding officer
should announce the result.
INFERENCE: This makes the process liable to
manipulation.

Section 91 addresses the limitations on election
expenses. The following is the list of maximum limit
on election expenses that can be incurred by
candidates, according to the old and the proposed:
Presidential election N1billion (Old)- N5billion
(New)
Governorship election M200m (Old)- N1bn (New)
Senatorial Seat N40m (Old) -100m (New)
Federal House of Representatives N20m (Old) -
N70m (New)
State Assembly N10m (Old) - N30m (New)
Chairmanship election N10m - N30m
Councillorship N1m (Old) - N5m (New)
Even 91(9) that prohibits any individual or entity
from donating more than N1million has been
amended to N10million.

INFERENCE: Is this a ploy to make our political
space an exclusive preserve of the money-bags? Or
to make the anomaly of vote buying a permanent
feature of our elections?

tuniski:
The last time I checked Buhari has always won Borno with landslide yet, lost nationally thrice! When will you buharideens get sense that buhari will not get zero votes rather millions but, will be voted out by millions more nationally,when?

I tot Atiku supporters always claims that the whole NE will be won in a landslide by Atiku, now d story line has changed.

is Elections Won by Debates? who even needs debate, everything about these two presidential candidates are there in the open, it's your choice to read urself, not waiting for someone to cook up lies and say on live broadcast. As for me, I dont think I need a debate to choose who to vote for.

if You stand on the street with a Mad Man and querel, they will be no difference. They is no need for Buhari to satisfy this mad men by dancing to their drum. if they want to think jubrin is in the villa then let them wallow in their illusion. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie.

mohswahgy:
In as much as I don’t buy the fake president gist, judging by the pictures of President Buhari above, please notice that the pictures are different. Different caps were worn by him there whereas that of Trump and Goodluck had same outfits. My thoughts sha

it doesn't matter. he used two different pictures, flip the other and used the other as it was.

by 17th of Feb next year, these questions will be answered. but from what I see, discussions on the elections has been clearly polarised. the West is for APC, the East for PDP, at least on this forum. my advice to those of you wasting ur energy nd time looking for d most provocative words, to counter those with different opinion is that: Elections are not won online. Nigerian politicians are not worth it, I don't see the need for all these names calling. the chance for u to meet a fellow memenber on this forum is far more than you meeting Buhari or Atiku. I think people should be more civil while projecting their candidates. the states where OBJ, GEJ, PMB come from.are not different from others in terms of infrastructure, some states are even far better off, so when u.guys insult urself over people who don't even give much concern abt u I feel sorry for dis over so called Leaders of Tomorrow.

fahren:
Even if Atiku is Lucifer the Devil himself, we will still Vote for him, at least Atiku is better than Buhari a serial liar whose son rides a 100 million naira super power bike yet he can't afford nomination form of 50 million.

YOU will vote not WE... na only one Vote u get

BishopImam:

So what do you say about the issue of failed card readers in the south and the widespread underage voting that took place

what of the rigging in the South? Rivers state to be precise? and places where card readers failed, who told u elections were not conducted there. Bros elections held everywhere, in Nigeria, even without the card reader.

[quote author=waveman2 post=73169690]Are you sure you read the data before posting. I had not seen this before I made this asertion and I was right.



[/quot
I can't make u see it. but if u look at the chart well u will discover d difference in volume of import for those years. check if 1999-2007 were not bellow 2015-2016 where d data ends

kcay:
I remembered when I went for mine along with my Yoruba friend that registered in the same INEC office on the same day. He got his while mine was unavailable. How can you explain that?

when you asked them why it happened that way, what response were u giving?

waveman2:
Brother In reality you have less import from our seaport now compared to the time obasanjo/Jonathan was there because of the ban on several items.the major problem is not really import but capital flight has many investors have lost confidence in this government policies.

please visit this site

https://www.indexmundi.com/facts/nigeria/import-volume-index

waveman2:
And before I forget,this six factors contributes to GDP growth as google is your friend.

1.Natural resources(this is why we called for restructuring so all states can harness they God given resources for better standard of living)

2.physical and capital infrastructure. ( in this area buhari tried as he is completing most project initiated by previous government, government is continium)

3.population or labor.

4.Human capital development. (this administration has failed in this area)

5.Technology.Buhari didn't, even go there.

6.Law.

1. population is a double edge sword. when you have a population that has majority depending on Government, this 9ja situation is inevitable. check out China, they have a very large population, but they are still leading in world economy cus the manpower is not so dependent on government, same applies to US, in contrast check Brazil and India, though their situations are not as dire as that of Nigeria, but it's not still reflecting the size of the population.

2. natural resources is an area where u will start blaming Gawon and every individual that followed him, up to Buhari, equally, if u want to be objective. they have made the country over reliant on Oil, forgetting to develop other natural resources, lit Tin, Ore, Agriculture nd a host of others.

3. issues like Technology you will have to be specific in what ways he has not done anything. remembering that state owned firms are not much again, cus they were sold under OBJ. I will understand government policies if u argue towards that line,

waveman2:
So please educate me how obasanjo was able to keep the dollar at $165 or there about when crude oil price had gone down and the military had basterdized our foreign reserves.

ask yourself how much of importation was Nigerians doing by then. can u compare d demand for foreign exchange that was then with what is obtainable now? theory of demand nd supply should give you the answer. everybody in this country now is an importer. Check the activities at the sea ports. when the country can't manufacture most of the goods they consume or the rate at which they produce is not commensurate with the demand they import, and you need FX. again u are bringing these goods at a price that is already above the cost price Into the country cus the importer has to make profit. brother there are a lot of variables, some of these things it's better to explain verbally for me. the present government has their challenges based on current realities,

Kanu that was released on Bail, where is he? the guy violated every bail condition. for the Record, National Security override A persons Personal Rights. those who care can check the case of Asari Dokubo vs FG. when the Supreme Court ruled that a persons fundamental rights comes second when the issue of National Security is involved, it's on this premise that these persons are been held. which country jeopardises National Security for a person? the only reason this thing is making NEWS is because Nigeria is a third world country, Do know the Number of people the CIA are hoping without even trial? The US has something know as the Patriot Act, once you are having any terrorist allegation on you, certain rights are completely ignored for sake of National Security.

waveman2:
"Also, the excuse of the collapse of world crude prices does not hold water. This is because the Fourth Republic took off in 1999 with crude oil selling for less than $20 per barrel and a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth at 0.58 per cent, according to National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) figures. Yet, the economy maintained a steady growth from that year, peaking at 15.33 per cent in 2002 when the average crude oil price was about $25".

Zombies really need to ready this and check fact, then go and ask obasanjo how he was able to stir the economy when crude oil price drop to $20 per barrel. A good leader doesn't, blame anyone for his failure.

Kai Brother don't say what u don't know because people are saying it. do u Know the term Value of Money? do u think $25 in 2002 can still afford you the same thing in 2018? there are a lot of variables that account for GDP growth. some of these things you don't just accept what the politicians say. use your own intellect also.

will INEC force People to collect PVC, did INEC distribute PVC to the Northerners in their respective houses? I don't think that issuance of PVC had anything to do with his failed ambition. GEJ should have looked inwards also nd seen his own weakness. According to him the whole world was against him. Y would the North not vote against him, when Boko Haram annexed states like Borno, Gombe, Adamawa, Yobe,? these excuses will only be entertained by those who choose to.
