They have started again this year. May God destroy mohammed for programming the minds of people to destroy a sacred thing "life"

If what you claimed against Muhammad is false may God destroy you through motor accident with sudden but painfull death and dispatch your corrupt hateful soul to hell fire. Amen.

You are 100% correct Nne! The funny part is that, South South, the real owner of jonathan are deserting him enmass leaving the Igbos as the only Vocal group supporting jonathan now!

Happy New Year Luv!

My friend a Hausa man came back from PH and expressed his shock at the city's support for APC. He said let to his earlier thinking PH would be a wholly PDP state.

Not exactly, notable northern leaders like Buhari has been o tackles and condemnations of every of his move without making any positive contribution.

Commanders are betraying their troupes, ill equipping them and sending them to ambushes of Boko Haram.
On declaration of state of emergency, notable northern leaders declared,
"You have declared war against the north"

Social miscreants like Amechi and his NGF, opposed it.

APC leaders like Tinubu and Lai also opposed it.

When he muted dialogue and amnesty for Boko Haram, they asked for his head!

How would it had it been, if a cross section of Nigerians opposed Gowon over declaration of war against Biafra.
How would it had been if Nigerian commanders were betraying their troupes into Biafran ambushes?

What of if Gowon was accused of being the brains behind Biafra?

It is all hypocrisy.

You are being too political about this. Okay lets assume all this statements you mention about notable APC leaders is through. What do you also make of their solidary visit to Borno where they contributed money for the people suffering the scourge from this insurgency. Remember that visit by them was at a time when Nigerians were all shouting and calling on the President to atleast visit the state which he had refused but only went there after their visit?

What prevented the president and his wife from accepting that the chibok girls were abducted until the whole world started to yell about the abduction?

If you are the President won't you arrest the "saboteurs" and prosecute them, while fighting the inaurgence with the zeal and seriousnesa it deserves? Did Gowon acted this way?

When Biafran troops captured the midwest and were shelling parts of Lagos state, was going not taken by surprised? Was he not swift in despatching Murtala? Did he not also ensured that all these officers who were relunctant to go and fight forced to the war front, and critics of the was thrown to jail?

noblezone:
My sis, as much as Buhari was among the Nigerian soldiers who shed innocent blood in Biafra, he is not an issue in this thread!

You disappoint me with your obssesion about such a tyrant, but that is by the way!

My question is this, Biafrans were being killed all over Nigeria as a revenge over an "Igbo Coup". They ran home, negotiated a peace deal with Nigeria, Gowon broke the deal, Biafra declared Indepence and Nigeria attacked her.

Innocent blood was shed, yet Nigerians supported Gowon, they never called him clueless!

My qustion is this, Shekau has declared an Islamic State, he is killing the innocent in order to achieve his Islamic state! Why are Nigerians blaming Jonathan instead of supporting him to fight Shekua?

Nigerians have supported him including their Igbo brothers. The Arrmy, the NPF, hunters and even civilians.
Now it is your turn go and fight for your fatherland.

If i may ask you for the donkeys years northerners are ruling this country what have they contributed for the development of this Nation?

Tell us your state of origin and we will gladly show you a Northerner's hand that is responsible for it to come into being in the first place, before we begin to tell you many other goodies that you are currently enjoying without knowing how they came about.

Firmjudge:
In as much as i donnot support the almajiris system in all ramifications, But what do you do when even our governors are not doing anything to tackl what i actually term child abandonment without parental care.
back then in school, i have some set of almajiri boys that i feed out of pity i donnot even allow them to do any chore for me even though they often insist and i only give them fresh food and small money.
BTW I actually came accross one Model almajiri school in Sokoto-south.
it actually exist.

We have to learnn to see beyound our nose and accept Good things if done to help salvage an already bad situation.
common its a good thing at least i know that at the model school i am very sure no child will walk with torn clothings and scalp over his head.
infact we should blame the northern leaders for our woes let us hold them accountable
#GodBlessNigeria

Which Northern leaders do you want me to blame? The ones that built the schools we attended and took care of us as boarding students giving us free books, feeding us and. Giving us money at the end of the term?

No! The Northern leaders have been trying their best to give us good education. If a man decides to keep his ward from going to school and instead send them to Almajiranci you don't blame the leaders. My mum told me that in their time the leaders even used force - sending officials to villages on horse back to force parents to released their children for schooling.

This is a new era where every northerner has mates he grew up with who have attended school and have benefited therefrom as evidence for him/her to derive lessons from. If you see an Almajiri today you know that he must have come from a very unserious parent. I have seen instances where Almajiris, of their oqn volition dropped their begging bowls and took themselves to school.

In Borno and Yobe states Almajiranci is becoming extint.

This is my nairaland post of the year!

Did he built the school that I and other Northerners attended? I have not seen any of the ao-called Almajiri schools being song but I know graduates who went to the Nomadic schools built by Babangida's government for Fulani herders children back in the 80s.

Whole towns have been taken over by boko haram. Villages sorrounding mos towns and cities yet to be taken by boko haram in Borno state are currently in boko haram hands with their flags flying high. Kunduga a town few kms from Maiduguri is under boko haram and the youths have been forced town join them. The issue of Bama, Gwoza, Chibok, Banki etc is so pathetically grosteque as to be detailed.

The barrack in Bama was abandoned and left for Boko haram first by the CO then followed by all the security chiefs n the town house before the useless insurgence could even get tp the town from Gwoza!

When Boko Haram attacked Banki town located less than 50kms from Bama, there were no Nigerian army there to fight them back. This town that is shared in half between Nigeria and Cameroun was in fact left for the Camerounian army to battle it out with the boko haram. But for the Camerounian army the towns people who comprised of citizens from all the north and southerners particularly the Igbos who own all the electonics shops and other consumables shops running in hundreds and worth millions of Naira due to the strategic location of the town as goods are bought from the town and being taken to as far as Central Africa and Sudan. These people in fact owed their lives to the Cameounian soldiers. As we speak they are still refugees inside Cameroun. Those of them that are able to cross over back to Nigeria. Their relatives had to send money through the banks to Yola to middlemen on commission who arranged for them to be transported via Garwa deep inside Cameroun avoiding the border roads because of boko haram. A journey of 72 hours to Yola.

These people came back with nothing but praises for the Cameroun government for their hospitality while they were staying as refugees.

Banki is still under boko haram and only the Cameroun army is keeping them at bay as they have built a large army with heavy artllery battery in their own part of Banki town.

tit:
where is his "school certificate" or any academic award given to Buhari by the US War College?
Nobody is doubting that buhari saw the walls of US war college, Mons and many other martial institutions.
his problem is to produce any educational qualifications he may have.
Platoon leaders course is not an educational qualification.

So you are saying he attended us war college as a colonel to train on handling a platoon after? As a brigadier? Are you this bad?!

APC and Igbokwe are not getting out of this one that easy. The request of Ndiigbo are lawful and a fundamental aspect of human rights.

In the Nigeria constitution, it falls under "freedom to association,Freedom of Belief and Religion, Freedom of Opinion and Information, Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association and Right to Participate in Government and in Free Elections.

Igbos have not been given their fair share in the day to day running of their Lagos State. Lagos is a City State created for all Nigerians and sustained by all Nigerians. Y is the government dominanted by a single ethnic group and not reflective of the multi-ethnic character of the state?


This is the problem that was raised by the NCSN and must be address in the next dispensation of Government in Lagos. Lagos is a state and not a region, it is multi-ethnic and not homogeneous or solely yoruba and this multi-ethnic character must be reflected in the governance of the city state, for the sake of equity and all inclusive government.

If that is the case then you should know that the Hausa/Northern community is far more populous that the Igbo community in Lagos.

British international school is not a Nigerian school.

mailmalc:
Fellow Nigerians, vote for any candidate apart from Buhari! You lots raise ur fingers to type how GEJ has failed. Between GEJ and Buhari please I beg you, who is more insensitive to the plight of the people? Buhari in the past 20 years has shown no single sign of local or international advocacy, no added education, no leadership reference. As far as I am concerned he is politically stale and dormant. Reason he joined forces with the same set of people he labelled as corrupt while he was in his previous political party.

Someone who served under Abacha and saw nothing wrong with it but came out to say Abacha was not corrupt.

Buhari has been sleeping to the trials and woes of the same northern region he is from. He has no solution to Boko haram just because he is not the President, no single advisory content published or not from his end about possible ways or methods to curb the problem of insurgency and you say GEJ is clueless? He waits every 4 years to contest again. Rather than sound intelligence as a past leader and part of the northern elite or respected individual, he comes on air to make useless remarks about enforcing sharia and promoting one religion. Picking a fake pastor as a running mate, a boy to Tinubu cannot fool us. We see beyond his bigot nature and dual personality. A man who claims to fight corruption yet he stands on corrupt platforms and is surrounded by the likes of Tinubu and Dino Melaye. You pro GMB needs to apologise to every Nigerian for refusing to see beyond your eye lids. @kemitwarrior @grandmisty please feel free to verify my facts, just like I can take Kemit online classes on present road infrastructure development.

Those claims above are pure lies. Those are claims only the devil is capable of inspiring. What a ways to twist the truth!

They hated and demonised Abatcha. When he died they celebrated because they taught that Nigeria will be turned to America but, alas! Nigeria has now turned to the former USSR being balkanised only this one is not only confined to territorial lost but also lost of nationalism to ethnic and religious sentiments on one hand and Afghanistan on the other hand.

Abacha would rather wage a one hundred years war than secede Bakassi to cameroon and would have crushed each and every member of Boko haram until they beg for forgiveness or ran to exile.

APC governors reduce
financial support
We depend on people’s
donations, says
organisation
The campaign
organisation of the All
Progressives Congress
(APC) presidential
candidate, Major General
Muhammadu Buhari, has
been hit by a cash crisis
following the dwindling
fortunes of states under
the party’s control. It was
learnt at the weekend
that the APC states, like
other states of the
federation, are badly
affected by the volatility
in the global oil market
that has reduced the
distributable funds from
the Federation Account
among the three tiers of
government.
This, one of the party’s
governors confided in
New Telegraph, has made
them to reorder their
priorities.
According to the
governor, he and his
colleagues have been
forced to cut down on
their financial support to
Buhari because besides
their contractual
obligations to civil
servants and funding of
capital projects going on
in their respective states,
some of them are battling
re-election while others
have funding of the
campaigns of their
anointed successors to
contend with.
Unlike Buhari who as at
last week has garnered
N54 million in donations
from a cross-section of
Nigerians, his Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP)
counterpart, President
Goodluck Jonathan, has a
heavy war chest. Jonathan
at a fund raiser last
weekend, had grossed
over N21 billion for his re-
election bid with the
donors including 21 PDP
governors who donated
N50 million each to the
president’s campaign
fund. The source,
however, added that
given the challenges
before them, the APC
governors have chosen to
focus on their respective
states rather than
Buhari’s presidential
campaign. He said: “The
current revenue fortunes
of the states call for
cautious spending on the
part of any governor.
Gone are the days when it
was easy for any governor
to commit himself to
several other things; but
when you look at what is
on ground, especially
when several states could
not even pay salaries,
how do you expect such
states to think about
funding a presidential
campaign?
“It is absolutely
impossible because each
of us is either focusing on
reelection, or in the case
of those leaving, the issue
of funding the would-be
successor is very
important too; so which
one do you pick?”
However, the Buhari
Campaign Organisation,
has dismissed fears that
the precarious financial
state of the party’s
governors will hurt the
candidate’s vote-seeking,
adding that it is in a bid to
avoid such a scenario that
made Buhari right from
the outset to solicit
donations from ordinary
Nigerians.
The Director of Publicity,
APC Presidential
Campaign, Mr. Dele
Alake, said the call for
public funding of the
party’s presidential
campaign was to ensure
that Nigerians owned the
incoming government
even before it is elected.
“I think the Nigerian
media needs to put more
perspective and perhaps,
try as much as possible to
be analytical in this
regard. Let us take the
United States for
example; did the
Democrats or the
Democratic governors
have any issue about
funding before the current
president, Barack Obama,
resorted to the idea of
public donors to fund his
campaign? No!
“The idea is to engender
more public and mass
participation in
government and
governance even before
the man is elected so that
they can be part of it
when it finally berths; this
without doubt, is the best
way to enshrine an all-
inclusive government that
will work for the common
good of the people rather
than for the good of a
select few who sit in the
comfort of their chosen
points to manipulate the
nation to the
disadvantage of the
common man.
“I urge you to ignore such
suggestions because such
are sheer evidence of
negativism aimed at
discouraging the ordinary
Nigerian whose one naira
is a tool for change in
Nigeria,” Alake added.
However, it was learnt
that while money might
not be Jonathan’s
headache, his campaign
is facing a threat due to
the emergence of new
battleground states. A
source in the president’s
campaign organisation
expressed worry that
even though the
incumbent would win the
2015 election, “there are
likely to be lost grounds
arising from the
emergence of new
battleground states.”
He listed the battleground
states as Kebbi, Kaduna
and Zamfara (North-
West); Benue, Kwara and
Plateau (North-Central) as
well as Lagos and Ogun in
the South-West. But he
cited Zamfara as the
‘safest state’ in the North-
West where Jonathan’s
posters and presidential
campaign materials are
“freely distributed without
any fear.”
“Truly, to say that there is
no problem is to ignore
the reality on ground. If
you want my objective
assessment of the
situation as it now stands,
I can say that although we
stand a good chance to
win the presidential
election in 2015, there
are indeed some states
that we have lost due to
internal wrangling and
disputes across the
nation.
“And taking you through a
zone-by-zone analysis as
being studied by
campaign strategists, I
can say that in the North-
West, PDP has a 30-70
ratio to the advantage of
the APC; 50-50 in
Zamfara, 50- 50 in Kebbi,
40-60 in Kano, 50-50 in
Kaduna, 60-40 in Jigawa
and 30-70 in Katsina. “In
the North-Central, we can
confidently place it at
60-40 in Kogi, 50-50 in
Kwara, 50-50 in Niger, 60-
40 in Nasarawa, 50-50 in
Benue and 70-30 in
Plateau.
“For the North-East, we
place it at 30 for PDP and
70 for APC, same for
Gombe, 40-60 in Borno
and Yobe, 60- 40 in
Adamawa and 70-30 in
Taraba. “In the South-
West, while Lagos and
Ogun are 50-50; Ondo,
Ekiti and Oyo are for PDP;
but Osun is APC.
But the situation is better
in the South-East and
South-South where the
PDP will hold sway,” he
added. He explained that
in Rivers State, for
instance, there are
indications that while
most people are in
support of Governor
Chibuike Amaechi for the
governorship election, a
many of them are most
likely to vote for Jonathan.
The source attributed the
emergence of swing
states to the festering
leadership crisis in the
PDP in most states of the
federation. According to
him, the PDP may lose
about three million votes
due to internal wrangling
in its fold; and this means
that Jonathan will garner
a minimum of 17 million
votes as against the 21
million and 22 million
votes recorded by the
PDP in the 2007 and 2011
presidential elections
respectively. newtelegraphonline.com/cash-crunch-hits-buharis-campaign/

PDP will get NO vote in Borno and Yobe states.

Don't worry we Muslims have no intention of voting your GEJ.

Thank God! APC is not an extremist party hence their democratic convention where both Muslims and Christians have sweat it out for the best candidate to emerge. That is the candidate we will vote for not some fanatical, ethnic bigot bent on dividing Nigerians.

GEJ TILL BUHARI, O-SINER-BANJO BOW TO GOD.

The below didn't show that the Pastor is a Yoruba tribalist as you falsely claimed.

"Earlier, in Awka on February 26, he said he would construct all the major roads which link Anambra with its neighbors; complete the ongoing aero-dynamic survey of gas in the Anambra River basin; complete the second Niger Bridge; and complete the Onitsha Inland Port. Nigerians would not be talking about generators by the time his four years in office would have ended, he guaranteed. It is about four years since these promises were made; however, if a Nigerian today does not have his own generator, it is because he is financially incapable to procure one. The promises were largely unfulfilled. Did Mr. President lack anything he needed in fulfilling these promises? Did he lack money, hands, time or occasion? None that I know. He just won’t do what he said he would do."

However you are the tribalist that need to be ignored.

20pounds:
Keep deceiving yourself! Do you think that the northerners supporting Buhari are doing so cos they want to turn around the fortunes of this country for good?

They are supporting him because they feel he is the only one suited to get 'their' power back for them.

Buhari told of bloodied dog and baboon when he loses and incited the death of over 100 youth corpers and 1000 innocent christian nigerian along with the distruction of churches.. are you not smart enough to know who the wicked devil is?

Thank God the interview was conducted in Hausa language and I was opportuned to listen to it live. I didn't wait for PDP to interprete it to me. I perfectly understood and believe in waiting at the polling center to witness my vote is counted and hear the result for my ward - and to demand that infatigable right.

We have been hearing all sorts of lies against Gen. Buhari but I am sure you and your co-travellers are only getting frustrated with your lies as the days goes by.

You all will be shamed by the great Nigerian peoples in 2015.

Then "charity begins at home".
