Nashville:
Stop all this nonsense of Buhari having integrity and impeachable character. Buhari looted froom the treasury just like all other military leaders. He was just not as bad as Babangida who institutionalized corruption. Where did Buhari get all his money from. Let him publicly declare his assets and the source of his wealth. This very same man truncated democracy in 1983 and he now wants to come back. Say no to ex-military dictators who have nothing to offer this country.

As for Pastor Bakare. He has said he "heard" from God. I just hope it was not the way he "heard" from God in 1999 when he publicly pronounced Obasanjo will not be president. I was in my final year in Unilag and he came one evening and told us all Obasanjo will not be president. I'm not sure what he heard then and I'm not sure what he is hearing now!

Mr Nashville, Tell us the proceeds of Buhari's loot . It is shocking to me that a University graduate will claim ignorance of this simple issue in this country. Even the OBJs of this world knows that the major problem with this guy is the fact that there is nothing to hang on his neck as corrupt. And which money are talking about? Which one I asked you oo. Is it for the 2 houses that he built, one in Kaduna and the other in Daura? Is that too much to have for serving in that capacity?

And for Pastor Tunde Bakare that you mentioned, you have reinforced my belief that you hear things but you do not listen. Did he say God told him he will become Vice President? And when last did you hear from God and you understand how God talk to people? I was also a university student in 1999 and heard Bakare on many occassions and he never said Obj will not be president, Quoting him now " Rejoice not oh land, for your joy is temporal, I am bringing down your leaders to the threshing floor, and will thresh them, Obasanjo is not your messiah, he is King Agag and the prophetic axe will fall on him". That was the prophecy. Did anything in that suggest to it that OBJ will not become president. The problem is dat Nigerian xtians have not been trained in prophetic. Our knowledge of prophetic is only limited to foretelling. Did you pray about that prophecy to get the interpretation? What did God tell you about prophecy? What was the response of the Church to the prophecy? Did we respond well? Is Obj our messiah?

So people can say things and here different things based on ur perceptions. It is your choice

Even if Buhari/Bakare did not win, so many people's fear and so? Did Jesus win in his days? Check the record. Jesus was to die for sin he never comitted. A notorious criminal who had terrorised the people was also meant to die. By their culture, it is time to give amnesty to a 'Criminal". Who did the people choose? The the notorious robbers of course. Why? The religious leaders manipulated the people and the people eventually regreted their actions afterward. But did Jesus fulfil destiny? Oh I love the scripture, A man of destiny will not die in vain. Remember Jesus prayed not to go to the cross.[color=Black]CHRISTIANS OOOOOOOOOO[/color] what is God telling you. Stop judging on sentiments and fears. Pharao was king only as per throne but it was Joseph's destiny to shine forth. Could this be the Joseph generation we have longed for. Wake up and pray, That was what American xtians did in time of crises.

Ikwikwikwi:
Pastor, pastor, oh Mr. Pastor. who will pasture your flock when you abandon them, save yourself from the self destruction journey which you are about to embark on. It is obvious that your mind is made up before now, but you will seriously regret your decision as you will lose more than you will ever gain.

Was this a message God told you or your carnal mind tormenting you with fear? When did he make up his mind to become vice president? B4 he started SNG or after? When was the invitation to become vice extended to him? I feel I should challenge you with those questions. I hate it when we all cry for credible leadership and when some credible guys are daring to be different, rather than supporting and protecting them from attacks, we expose them to attacks by negative words. Here this, you just started to think, Bakare knows what is at stake. There is a reason for his make up. My prayer for him is that he will not miss out in the plan of God. We are yet to produce a xtian with excellent record of going to politics to show the world that you need not be corrupt in governance. ARE WE ALL SAYING HERE THAT THE BLOOD OF JESUS THAT SAVES US FROM SIN DID NOT SAVE US FROM CORRUPTION IN ASO ROCK. SHAME ON ALL XTIANS BECAUSE WE HAVE FAITH TO CLAIMS THIS AND CLAIM THAT YET WE DO NOT HAVE FAITH TO CONQUER THE CORRUPTION IN OUR SOCIETY. And Samuel Judge Israel faithfully for 40 years, check the record. He has made us kingdom of priests, and kings? When will the prophetic fulfilment of these will take place? In heaven? We do not need prophet in heaven my friends? In fact if not for the fall of man, why do we need pastors?

bidemi12:
MORONN that is exactly my point. anyone with links to the nigerian military will tell you that being a soldier at time was crazy and a lot of them died in poverty and still do if i am not mistaken. Let me not even bother to tussle logic with you, let him declare his assets and we'll see. why hasn't he done so in the first place. Also can you be on a normal salary to contest elections in Nigeria. please dont let stuppidity and amnesia affect your response.

@ Bidemi 12, I understand your challenge and reasoning. You need to be free from salary mentality and key into the law of increase. You are part of those people who lived by salary alone. I do not know where you are or what you are doing but riches are not necessarily how much you have in your bank accounts. You said Buhari has not declared his assets, then you must really be outside this country or totally disconnected from the society to say such.

You said many soldiers died in poverty but I know a lot who never took Govt appointment but lived well and are still doing well today. Many went into farming, others do business, and do you know as ex- head of state, he has pension and you do not have the idea of how much that is, do you? I know a lot of Ex bank managers who are poor today despite huge salary they collected few years back. I know school teachers who are successful owners of schools and other businesses today and are doing well despite poor salaries. POVERTY IS A CHOICE. and you do not have to steal or born to wealth to be rich. IT IS ALSO A CHOICE.

Your last assumption, how much did Lam Adeshina had prior to he becoming governor of OYO STATE? What about his deputy Oladokun? How much did Bola Ige has during his life time. And what do you need money from to contest election? To pick form for interest which was purchased for LAM Adesina. It is only in Party where you get the candidacy by selection and settlements that money matters. Give us a budget of what it will take to run a proper presidential campaign and lets see if the wastage we are seeing today is necessary.

Tell us how much Buhari alone has contributed to his campaign. Tell us how much OBJ had prior to becoming president in 1999 and how he built the campaign structure. How much did Obama has to run for presidency?

If you really consider these things, you will know you are myopic and you have a mindset that people cannot do things rightly cos you have not been consistent enough in right things, hence you did not reap the reward of right stand

Madcow:
@ [size=18pt]ayubam[/size]

YOU ARE NOT VERY WISE!


Joseph and Daniel were not a disgruntled element raising dust to unrest the polity,  They were Men living intentionally in Gods purpose!


GO AND READ YOUR BIBLE!

@ Madcow, I don't read bible like guys in children class during sunday school. I allowed God to inspire me with his word. U said Joseph and Daniel never raised dust to unrest the polity. So did u actually meditate about what happened when Potiphar's wife alleged that Joseph attempted to rape her? It is easy for you to read it like a story and see Joseph's innocence but I bet you no one believe Joseph in the society and was sentenced to prison. This same Joseph was the guy that kept dreaming "disrespectful" dreams that his eleven brothers fathers and mothers will bow down to him? How do you think that goes well in the community of Jacob's family?

And Daniel, how did he get to the lion's den. Was he not because people wanted to nab him in the course of his destiny and will not bow to strange but popular decree? Madcow when last did you allow God's word minister to you and stop reading meaning to what you read from His word. The Letter killeth, it is only the Spirit that gives life. Wake up and do not dabble into things you do not understand. Each time a man arise to fulfill destiny, there are cacophony of voices and it is only God's voice that will keep the man. My prayer is that in this delicate time of Bakare's life, he will not miss one step in God but sitting down here and analysing that a man cannot run for Vice or President because he is a pastor is the HIGHEST LEVEL OF BIBLICAL ILLITERACY. THE CHALLENGE TO ALL CRITICS: WHAT HAS GOD TOLD YOU ABOUT NIGERIA, AT LEAST GOD RULES IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN?

bidemi12:
unimpeachable integrity my arse!!! my father was in the Nigerian airforce for 30+ years and Buhari should explain to me how he became a millionaire. There is no way in this world it can happen with the crap pay they got at that time. Bakare should not bother explaining will all know MEN OF GOD.

It is clear from your post above that you are either ill informed or suffering from parental failure which you are seeking explanation from us here. I could have disregard your post but to keep silent is to allow evil to persist when sound judgment calls for answer.

First, how come you tagged Buhari a millionaire? How much did he has in any bank account that you know? How many coy does he own? Is he a director of any company known to you? These are the qualities of millionaire. You can come here under the guise of freedom of expression to say unfounded things about people. And that you father was an Airforce for 30+ years and is not a millionaire is not an excuse. You did not tell us your father's lifestyle. How many wives and concubines she has (if he is a humaniser cos many of them are), we are not sure if he is a drunkard who had wasted his monies on frivolities of life. We do not know his spiritual condition. There could be many factors affecting your dad that made him who he is today so you cannot bench mark him with anyone.

Buhari's integrity is above debate. Bakare's integrity is unquestionable. He was a successful lawyer before he started ministry. He is a brilliant lawyer. There was never a time he stopped working to full time ministry. He has not watered down the gospel for pecuniary gains. He has succesfully managed church for more than 21 years without scandal. So keep your suspicion to yourself and family alone?

Be open and do not let your fathers experience affect your perception. Note that everything about your Airforce Dad is an assumption oo. I am not saying he is not successful though you made it sound like that.

globatop:
Bakare, please dont ridicule your ministry, God is not an ambiguity, he can never call u as His servant and yet direct u to serve mortals. Never in the scripture have I seen a prophet wining and dinning with the king. Remember what Samuel is to Saul.

Mr Globaltop, so answer these questions:

1. Was Joseph God's servant and who was he to Pharao?
2. Were Daniel and the 3 Hebrew boys God's servant and who were they in Babylon?

Please, explain these based on your "Golden Nuggets" quote above.

Q.E.D

One of the best posts thus far

So Looters do? Nigerians love this corruption. All those yearning for good governance are trying really but the problem is with the people. People who have managed position successfully and are talking about wrongs in our society are tagged critics while Looters are the nation builders. The advice I will give u guys is to take time to be an audience to west parliamentary seatings and house meetings and then you will knows critics ensure proper things are done in the right way. Corrupt followers, Nonsense

Madcow:
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR SO CALLED MEN OF GOD?

IF THEY ARE BENT ON MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COUNTRY, SHOULDN'T THEY BE ON THEIR KNEES?

Like you name implies, you should be a mad cow. When you go on you knees and pray, will God do what you should do? The problem is your religious mind set that will not allow you to see beyond your nose. When last have you gone on your knees truly for this nation, please be sincere, and you come here to run your mouth about men who have risked all they have achieved in life to see a new nation where no one will be oppressed. What you should do first is to start praying for the nation, when you do that faithfully, God will tell you what you must do cos prayer is not one way communication.

lovevic:
[This man is a disgrace to priethood. A disgrace to christianity! A massive failure.
I've never liked all of these ridiculous pastors. They are all the same bunch of sinners!

A pastor can never be so engrossed in politics without having intentions of joining it. Shame on him. Shame on that farce he calls a church. Shame on his church members. Shame on Nigerian pastors.

Now where is Mai Suya, that said this man can never join politics

WHY THIS INSULT ON A MAN OF GOD, PROBABLY HE HAS BEEN ASKED BY GOD TO RULE, REMEMBER WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS RULE THE PEOPLE REJOICE

The guy who is writing shame on Bakare (I believe not Lovevic) has simply shown his ignorance on nation building and his folly about kingdom matters. He is one of those traditional xtians who goes to church religiously but have not connected God. Else, why will you crucify a man who has placed his destiny in the hands of God on governance. Wether you like it or not, Bakare is a popular man and he is not seeking popularity. By the grace of God, he is one of the few pastors who have not profited by watering down the gospel. He has been tested and proven with money. This was a guy who has openly challenge the world that if I have ever robbed anyone they should bring it to the open, and I bet it, with what this man has gone through in Naija, if there is anything, they would have brought it to the open. One good thing about this man is that contrary to the popular opinion that this man is self righteous, he has always reiterate it dat HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY UNCONFESSED SIN. so what is the fuss.

PLEASE FELLOW XTIAN AND NLERS, answer my questions oooooooooooooooooooo

Was it right for Joseph to be deputy to Pharao despite their sharp contrast on Godly principle?
Did Samuel judged Israel faithfully and neglected hiss prophetic office?
What about Daniel and the 3 hebrew boys being members of cabinet in babylon, a strange nation?

If you refuse to answer these questions, then I WILL CONCLUDE THAT YOU ACCUSERS ARE LIKE YOUR FATHER >>>>>>>>>>(fill in the blank space) whose job is always to accuse the brethren in order to weaken their hands. CHECK OUT THE MANS RECORD, EVER DEAD TO PUBLIC OPINION AND SHAME ON YOU TOO COS SOME OF US BELIEVE IN HIM AT LEAST WITH WHAT WE KNOW THUS FAR, HE IS NOT A LOOTER AND HE HAS OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE

lekanesan:
Well, the most important thing is to have God's direction, meanwhile i have few points to make.

1. I'm skeptical about a christian (pastor) being a VP to an Islamic leader when we know that our religion is not in tuned.
2. I believe if God wants a christian on the throne it would have been the post of the president and not he vp
3. Managing a church, and the post of a vp can never be an easy task. It may not be easy for him to serve two masters, hence he might eventually have to drop one for the other.
4. It is a good thing to see men of God running for political post, that's if they will not get their and turn their back to God. Hopefully they might be the change we need.

Politics is an aspect of leadership and it is NOT A DIRTY game, it is only played by dirty people. So politics in Nigeria can change for the best if good people venture into it.

My brother good point you have in there but I want to ask you some probing questions.

1. Was it God's will for Joseph to be deputy to Pharao in Egypt despite the duo serving different God?
2. Did Samuel Judge Israel well and neglected his role as a prophet in Israel?

Please answer those questions sincerely, that may give you clearer understanding

Nigerian Christians, so shallow in the things of God. While I fear greatly that Politics is a dirty game, I believe God will have a witness there that will show to the world that politics is not a sin and you must not participate in corruption. Maybe this is the time to go see this- the MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SONS OF GOD. Any reasonable christian at this point should go to God in prayer and seek direction that the nation needs to follow.

On wether Bakare should contest or not, I am yet to see a portion of the scripture that says otherwise. Many of us running our mouths here have only spoken based on sentiments and emotions or probably because you have not seen a Pastor contest for election before. Not because you know by knowledge that a Pastor should not venture into politics? says who? God took David to the bush to sheperd the flock and the bible recorded that after developing the heart of shepherding the flock, God took him to the throne to shepherd His people, and David did that with the skillfullness of his Hands and INTEGRITY of his heart. Having said this, I am a conservative on this and wish Pastor Tunde should stay clear of running, however, when it comes to obeying God, if that is the next thing God is telling him to do, oh 100% behind him.

If he contests and he looses, that does not mean God has not told him to do that. It could also mean to condemn the nations because Jesus came and larger percentage of the world did not believe and accept him and the Bible recorded that Jesus did not come to condemn the world but he who did not believe is condemned already.

Being Vice of Buhari and not President?

Have u ever considered a man like Joseph? Was he not a second in command as per throne  to Pharaoh- an idol worshipper? Did Joseph served and still not soil his garment.? What about Daniel and the 3 hebrew boys who served in Babylon? Were they not chosen because of the excellent spirit they found in them?

It baffles me when xtian display such great folly as this on issues that is not too vague in the bible. You do not need special revelation to know all these BUT NIGERIAN XTIANS ARE LAZY who only goes to church to hear pastors but will never do anything to study on their own.

I will keep praying for the man as from today. I am very sure it will be a tough decision for him to make even when he is sure God wants him to run. It is like Jesus going to the cross to die. But the grace to go through will be released upon him. He will finish his assignments, no tongue wagging will be enough to dissuade him from doing God's will, His mercy will keep him from error and together Nigeria will be saved, changed and Nigeria will be great.

Fellow NLers, a thought just flash through my mind and was convincing to me and I think I should put it here. I think the problem in Nigeria is that most Nigerians ARE CORRUPT (not all though) hence the majority prefers the rule of the corrupt politicians to a right standing one.

All these clamours for good governance are just pretext.

software:
i still dont think they will win GET, for some reasons, GET isnt the best solution for Nigeria. And if AC,CPC and APGA merges, they will need to produce a better leader who will lead us to the promise land. Buhari might not be the best option for this country at this point in time.

We need leaders with the Fear of God. Because when the fear of God is there, it would be impossible to hurt the person next to U. God BLess this great Country Naija!

@ Software, can u list some attributes of a Leader who has the fear of God, and based on that can you tell us who of all these candidates has the fear of God, and I sincerely hope you will not limit the fear of God to confession of practicing a particular religion.

Ozin:
From same mouth,curses and blessing is released.It is good to know you are a mere mortal,otherwise people with different political views other than yours would have been running helter scatter to get your curse removed.My brother wake up and find a life.This is democracy and people have the right to believe and choose who they like.A billion of such curse will not deter them in their believe.You need to grw up my little friend!!!

I was about saying what portion was a curse in that Phrase. He simply states that you will reap what you sow. Are you afraid what you are sowing may not yield good fruits, hence you termed that phrase a curse? If I were you, I will say amen to reap what I am sowing.

Intrepid!:
Ayubam, you have won me over with your superior and intelligent reasoning, Well done!

Thank you my brother. I am not a member of CPC and do not belong to any party but sincerely passionate about good governance in our nation. I hate standing on ques being treated with disdain each time I travelled to visit other nations because I am a Nigeria. I hate driving in hrs of traffic when there is no natural disaster. Above all, I desire to see a nation where my children will feel proud and say boldly like an American will say GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Lets educate our people. Let us unblock their minds. They need to see what the problem really is and stop this tribal and religious sentiments. These guys are neither xtian nor muslim. Their religion is LOOTING and they have not shown us by their last primaries that things will change. The hole in the treasury must be blocked. MONEY MUST FAIL. TRUTH MUST WIN, LETS FOLLOW THE PATH OF TRUTH AND COME OUT OF THE WOODS. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

FINALLY, I RAP UP WITH THIS VERSE OF THE SCRIPTURE;

UNTIL THE JUDGMENT OF GOD COMES TO THE EARTH, THE INHABITANTS OF THE HEART WILL NOT LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS I am not talking of God's judgment to destroy our leaders but to let them see the foolishness of their ways. PDP will not learn unless they loose

hbrednic:
You are becoming too desprate trying to sell something thats unsale-able,Buhari has had his shot on the seat of power.
he achieved nothing,infact he was like a portraite hanging on the wall,lame,with no say on the dictatorial goverment he was heading.
You and I knew Idiadgo (God bless hiss soul ) was encharge.Buhari even as a general lacks authority and is bereft of ideas,his electoral campaign looks more like circo de soleil who will blame him,all na democrazy please tell us how many infrastrutural developments he carried out? his greatest achievement was telling the world that Nigerians are useless and beating people up with his WAI brigaders.
WE WILL NOT VOTE BUHARI

Call it desperation, I call it love for the fatherland. It baffles my heart when we deliberately open our eyes and agreed for those who have plundered us to continue with their wickedness.

Awolowo- The best President that we never hard, Soon it will be said that Buhari, the best president we never had and the nation continues to grope in darkness because of tribal and religious sentiments. I am not sure you are as "christianly" like myself but I have learnt to separate issue from person and kill all sentiments and line up with the truth for once. Keep selling sell able crooks because Nigerians love lies and vanity. What a nation? God spoke about such nation- REBELLIOUS GENERATION who have exchange the truth and righteousness of God and have chosen iniquities. On infrastructure Buhari built, I say to you like Jesus said- No sign will be shown to this rebellious generation but the word is near thee

Nsiman:
@ ayubam, i'm ain't deluded, ok suppose buhari wins, after him Gowon, abdusalami, shagari, obj etc. As i said earlier, we shld stop recycling our leaders. Buhari is an ethnic bigot judging frm when he chaired ptf. Going by u, Do u just start doing things when u get to leadership position or u appraise other leaders' direction b4 taking your direction? Gej needs your n mine support don't criticise destructively

Thank God he is an ethnic bigot just like everyone who has been angry that only northerners are ruling us irregardless of the credibility of the southerners. He is not a looter. I am sure the hole in the treasury will be blocked if he gets there. With equal representation in the senate and various allocations to each states, lets see how he will vote more money for northern states than the rest regions. And how the like of S/S governors will corner the resources of their people just like they have done in the past under a corrupt system. Jonathan who is not an ethnic bigot, what did he do for Bayelsans? Just bayelsans alone oooooooooo?

Nsiman:
Rubbish

So which of the post is rubbish? Are they true or not? Is there any fabrications in that post. You can see now that you are deluded. Most Nigerian Youths have shown their naivety on building a strong nation. No wonder student leaders are now used as thugs to rig election and the whole student suffer from lack of quality education, Unemployment on the increase, Mass failure in SSCE, and lots more vices. Y? Because our youths are not schooled in the correct perspectives of emergence of a great nation. They have been deluded by corrupt leaders who are ripping the nation off and exchanging good policy for slogans, CHANGE and they empty our treasury just to get PDP tickets. IT IS YOUR CHOICE, BUT KNOW THIS THAT YOU WILL SUFFER FOR FAILING TO ACT WISELY, IT IS A QUESTION OF TIME.

Nsiman:
@ ayubam, Lest i forget, what is buhari's major source of income that he contests presidential election every election year?

Nsiman:
@ ayubam' I hate recycling of leaders, gej is my 1st choice then Ribadu my 2nd. Buhari's admin as a dictator, chair of ptf during the late Abacha's regime  were sectional. There's a thread running here "why general mohammadu buhari should not contest presidential election in nigeria". Check out

Have you ever studied Buhari's campaign before? His policy is not money bags. Low key campaign based on personal integrity and love for the nation. He has no money to buy any votes.

And as per recycling leader, until we have a business mindset, Nigeria will never move forward. Do you employ a leader of a company just because he is young? What experience are these young guys bringing to the job? GEJ, what meaningful achievement has he got? How can he checkmate the CORRUPTION in the system when all his supporters are those involved in the act? Ribadu, what experience does he haS? Fighting corruption in EFCC? What about building infrastructures? What about developing structures on which Nigeria can build on? What does he know about dealing with international organisations and politics? How can he deal with pressure from western world on policies that are not favourable to the country?

Buhari is a tested leader with INTEGRITY, capacity to build infrastructures, international politics, he arrested people behind violence in Kaduna riot, people from his section of his country. If u say he is sectional, was Awolowo not sectional? Did he not advise Gowon on how to defeat the interest of Biafra? Unblock your mind and embrace the true man who knows these people behind corruption in our nation. Jonathan and the rest , who are not sectional, what have they done for the whole nation? What interest have they fought for us. If someone can build for his people and not steal, with good legislation he will build for the whole nation?

Have you noticed that those supporting GEJ are only saying FRESH AIR? All accusation against their man has never been discussed? They are sycophants who do not want true change in the nation,  WHATEVER TAKES YOU TO THE TOP WILL KEEP YOU THERE. IF COMPROMISE TAKES YOU TO THE TOP, COMPROMISE WILL KEEP YOU THERE. THINK ABOUT THAT

Nsiman:
@ ayubam, even buhari, ribadu etc wldn't work in isolation from past leaders, because they make up the national council of states. I assure u that no govt will prosecute past corrupt leaders instead the leader will look 4 ways to stop/reduce corruption. Why didn't Ribadu charge obj and atiku?

While I am not really an advocate of probing past leader, there are some who have deliberately dig a hole in our treasury to continuously rip us off as a nation. We need a man that will close up tht whole. That way I assure you this guys will run dry? EG if PHCN works well, what do you think will happen to Mikano? If the govt embarks on rapid agriculturl development, there will be liberation of monopolistic tendency that they have turn the nation into. Our oil wells in the hand of past generals could be revoked. How did they get that? This is how to stop the mess in the country. And for sure, I talk only for Buhari. I am not deceived by this generational shift you are talking about a young man. Daniel, bankole, Oyinlola, Fayose and co are young men but they have shown us their looting tendencies. Ribadu cannot probe obj and atiku cos there is no structure for it yet. They will simply sack him the way Yaradua sacked him when he disgraced Ibori who bank rolled his campaign.

Besides, I am not sure of Ribadu's ability for infracstructural devt, leadership tendencies and co. Buhari is a tested leader. He has been tested and found capable. He works well with both xtians and muslims alike, stop believing what these looters are hanging on him. They are looters, and they cannot deny that. They dont serve God truly but will rather tag a man who is a passionate muslim a fundamentalist.

hbrednic:
GOODLUCK EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN is the choosen one    

the so called opposition can keep on dreaming ,they are 100% entitled to that.
when i look at baba basorun Tinubus ACN,i can only beg laugh.party of consensus,no voting,wife,son,son-inlaw pure nepot party.
na consensus una wan take rule Nigeria,God pass una   .

which one be CPC   one man-party without structure.

GoodLuck is the chosen one? I pity you, You will explain to your children your efforts when all these rubish was going on? Lazy people that always surrender their will to imcumbency. So what has Jonathan done to be a chosen one, Nigerians, so disillusioned and uneducated. That is why bad governance thrives in the society. Remove Jonathan from PDP, what achievement can he boast of. How many of you can bless OBJ for what he has done in Nigeria? Even if you will do for this purpose, the society thinks otherwise. He is a thief and will support thief. That ws why Late President Yaradua dissociated himself from OBJ.

Vote PDP out of power if you wan change in this country

Nsiman:
B4 u think of any alliance unseating pdp, u have to study the parties base on their popn, geographic spread, popularity of the candidate etc. Gej to me is set to redeem us frm the shakles of dictatoral govt, that's why u think he's slow. Check out the PAC comittee he set up and one among their job was to recommend modalities to reduce govt expenses, i mean he wants to do that, lets support him to do more.

Which redemption? With Akala, Daniel, Obj, Anenih, and other warlords being the backbone? Keep dreaming? Don't you know some level of autocracy to be a good leader?

And the PAC commitee, this is not the first time several commitees are being set up. The problem is not setting up commitee, the problem is stop participating in crime, corruption and stop being accomplice? Why bribing people $7K just to get ticket. A THRONE SECURED BY COMPROMISE CAN NEVER PRODUCE GOOD GOVERNANCE. It is a law, Whatever takes you to the top will sustain you there.

Edywalex:
Let us learn 4rm Joshua as an example in d bible.Who so ever God as choosen no man shud put assunder.Buhari/Ribadu is jst a waste of time.GOD as choosen GEJ/SAMBO come 2011.Surely dey will win.Jst join d winning party and stop waisting your foolish joint party.Embrace GEJ/SAMBO to make a better Nigeria,

Your post is funny. What kind of a man was Joshua and how did he become Moses' successor? That a man wins election does not mean he is the will of God oooooooo. Stop this religious mentality. Else, King Ahab, Saul, Herod and co were also King and did not mean that was God's will.

Stop deceiving us about Jonathan being God's will, you said that about OBJ and Yaradua yet we saw their end.

@ Marvix,

marvix:
In my opinion Joanthan is the best man for the job because as it stands today he is the only man that is prepared for the job of president.

He is stable and understands the Nigerian political terrain.

He belongs to a political party that has a national spread.

He has shown capacity to engage the entire populace of this nation.

He knows where the shoe pinches, this can be seen in how he has ensured that fuel supply is not hampered even if we have to expend all our excess crude reserves, the delisting of textiles from the import prohibition list after granting a N200b facility to the local textile industry, his increase in the age of cars that can be imported into the country also has an impact on smuggling activities, he is a man who wants to play politics.

Goodluck Jonathan is a breath of fresh air considering his rise to his present position (you may not agree with this)

Goodluck Jonathan is the best man for the job because he has the backers who can deliver him to Aso Rock.

Goodluck Jonathan is the best man for the job because every Nigerian on the street can relate to his story.

Goodluck Jonathan is the best man for the job because he is SIMPLY THE BEST BMAN FOR THE JOB!!!

Now I know why Nigeria is in the present state it is. Clueless leaders and clueless followers. A man who wants to play politics not a man who really wants to solve Nigeria's biggest problem- CORRUPTION.

Who the backers are does not matter to you but just getting to Aso rock to do nothing.

Which story can we relate with? The Luck that has been a blessing to him and his family alone and not to Bayelsans and by extension Nigerians

Fresh air just like Obasanjo was the fresh air when we were just coming from crises and later experimented with the nations resources.

He ensures fuel supplies at whatever cost, open the borders, and gave loan to textile industries and increase their competition from foreign counterparts the way OBJ opened China town In Lagos?

That is the economic model you want us to follow?

So if Jonathan had been in CPC, how many state can his story persuade to get their votes?

You are part of the lazy generation, sidon look that want business as usual. As far as I am concern, Jonathan is simply an opportunist whose rise to power is just because every people deserve the kind of leader they have.

marvix:
Dayokanu I believe those are the only PDP members you know.

I never knew that only these people make the PDP.

Sorry I am not planning to vote for PDP but i intend to vote credible candidate.

Instead of all this clamour of Jonathan been compromised, we should remove the compromise or Buahri and Ribadu will be in bigger trouble if they manage to win without their party being in the majority.

It is not for us to do the work of the politicians, If they can not invest ingiving their parties national appeal then you cant blame the PDP for having national spread.

Is it news that ACN can not win a state in the north or east and ANPP cannot win elections in the whole south even if it had an angel running on its platform against a goat and cow in ACN and PDP.

The common denominator in the elections here in Nigeria is the PDP, if the PDP is not winning a state it is always the opposition can this be said of other parties, some can not win elections in their chairmans council!!!.

Let the best man win.

The question I have for you is this:

Can u tell us why Jonathan is the best man for the Job? Just some reasons why we should prefer Jonathan over Buhari. And u lied that ANPP cannot win any election in the south? Ajumobi won in Oyo State but OBJ rigged, Amosun won in Ogun also ANPP. There are other councillorship position won in oyo state by ANPP that Akala later sacked by executive powers. So your premise is wrong.

Intrepid!:
Omo, see long sermon sha! Gaddem! Oya, you don convince me. I dey vote for Buhari! Yes boss!

Whatever that means, make sure you vote wisely. Together, we have the power and ability to cause a change by carefully selecting a right candidate not by sentiments but for the love of this nation. Remember, the principle is that the better candidates deserves the slot. That is fairness. How will you feel if you apply for a job and u re very qualified only to be rejected because u re a good xtian or muslim that will not bend rules to steal from the coy's treasury. That is the true pix of Nigeria situation. One will naturally assume that the Atiku's camp will threaten to support Buhari massively but they trust GEJ more than Buhari to continue their looting? Lets think once and for all and block the whole in the treasury. That is the first step to the salvation we are looking for.

legba1:
the pact is sure  a step in the right direction to oust PDP, but can they pull it through?even if they did,are we sure we wont regret voting BUHARI in?this is time to put on our thinking cap.will my intyerest as a xtian matter afterall?hmmmnnnn

@ Legba, what is your interest as a xtian? I am one too. To see righteousness in our Govt,  see justice being done, freedom of expression. All these are guaranteed. Stop believing these looters who are tagging Buhari as Islamic fundamentalist. As PTDF chairman, he worked mostly with Southern xtians and no record of frustrating fellow xtians cos of their religion. He was a GOC in army xtian, muslims and atheist being part of the command. Was there any record of he frustrating any interest based on religious sentiments.

The major issue is LOOTING. If you are a xtian or muslim or anything, looting will not be tolerated cos he has nothing to hide. Those who have joined them will not have moral strength to fight them. Do u wonder y u will always hear of Gulf Money fraud and no one can probe. Power Project, Halliburtton scam has joined and no one is saying jack . Wake up please

Basildon1:
Whatever specie you are, i cant comprehend the balderdash you have just written. How about you taking the weekend off to improve your grammar, u hypocritical lil Arrow!

How will you understand when your sense has been darkened by rejoicing in the mistakes of others- Mr perfect? I repeat; if truly you are a sane man, you will rather keep quite if you do not have any good advice to give to the OP than to open your big mouth and suggest suicide for her as option. I am convinced for her taking this step, she will get help, she will be saved, restored and will train others who had been messed up by Satan, but for people like you; you are just a sand-paper, rubbed on people to make them smoother but the sand-paper, thrown into dustbin. Pharisee.

Intrepid!:
Ok, old wise one,  I may be young and naive but I'm a hell lot more strategic in my thinking that you seem to be. You have no idea of the subterfuge that goes on in the Nigerian Government,  With these corrupt bastards in the National Assembly, anything can happen. Can they withstand the temptation of oil money when the OAS throws their massive weight behind the bid of the Nigerian President to 'islamitize' his country?

You that belongs to the 'action' generation, what have you done about the rot in the country? What and where has your 'hard work' gotten you? Shut the hell up and stop being narrow-minded!

Intrepid!:
Oga, we all agree that the PDP is populated by corrupt, incompetent, imbecilic Political hallelujah boys. I'm not arguing with you on that score. However, I think we should address your use of that word, 'jihadist'. From the simple dictionary I use, a Jihad is described as ' A holy struggle or striving by a Muslim for a moral or spiritual or political goal'. Over to you,

@ Intrepid, Let me try and take your issues one after the other.  I hear you say you are strategic in your thinking? What strategy? That someone who has been investigated by all known agencies in Nigeria (NPF, EFCC, ICPC, SSS, Military Intelligence etc) and found blameless will now turn around to use oil money to bribe your PDP imbecilic Political hallelujah boys to Islamize Nigeria and the halleluyah boys will collect the money and pass that bill? What a dumb "strategic thinking". When he was the Military head of state, he only needed to make a decree and the deputy being a muslim will not have issue with it and dat would have been it. But what did he do? He was busy pursuing discipline as the only thing lacking in our polity till today is discipline in all aspects of life. Arrested all the corrupt politician, dealt with drug barons, a dollar was exchanging for 95kobo thereabout. Umaru Dikko Ran away and the likes of Adamu Ciroma was led in. When the cabals felt that their source is running dry, they planned a coup and PDP IBB came in and took Nigeria name to OIC, search the record. Buhari never took us there. Did u hear about MKO sinking a whole ship of bible coming into the country, Buhari never do dat. Idahosa crusade was going on with full police support. So how is he a Jihadist.

He is a passionate muslim just that we cannot yet see a xtian of his class who can boldly say he has not robbed this nation while in service. Is it wrong to serve your God passionately? That is the crime this man has commited- he is a devoted muslim? He does not represent the ruling class in the north. They are even more convenient with GEJ cos they know GEJ will tolerate what Buhari will not tolerate. He knows the rot in the Nation. He can never be accused of sponsoring violence. Infact the Kano riot in 1983/84, Buhari arrested all perpetuators, lock them up and after he was ousted out of power, IBB released all of them. These are his people, noetherners that committed offence. When last has anybody bein jailed after violence? This is the only man that has the record? Do not let these thieves deceived you further.

Are they xtians? Have they not threatened to destroy this nation if not given presidential tickets? Do you even think buhari has enough money to sponsor violence now? He has described low level Illiteracy and poverty as the reason for violence in the north. What has the like of Atiku, IBB, Adamu Ciroma and others do to develop the people? As PTDF chairman, Buhari built many schools in the north, irrigation projects, hospitals and healthcentres, records are there to show. People say why should he do that in the north only and i ask y did Awolowo develop the SW alone? Y did all the money going to NDDC not have been used to develop Bayelsa? How many project did OBJ commisisoned in the SW after 8 yrs of rule? These are questions we should be asking and hold our leaders accountable? The 1st obj assignment was to probe Buhari's acct in PTDF and he came out clean an untouched?

Mr Intrepid, who do you want to be your president? someone who was assistant Gov and Gov yet the society is still backward? Who throughout his stay as gov was travelling from PH to Yenagoa daily? Whose wife was caught laundering money and the case dropped by the high and mighty? Whose being a Vice President was only ceremonial? or what did he influence as VP for his people? PH- warri road that links Bayelsa is still nothing to write about? Whose since becoming a President has Shared more than 1 Trillion Naira to Governors and no meaningful infrastructure to show for it? who has given all PDP govs automatic ticket to continue to govern us irrespective of their performances? who released a senator accused of murder charge all to curry support for him during primaries, who has been alleged to have given $7k each to delegates to get their votes? Who has chosen to choose the like of OBJ, Tony Anenih, etc as Political God fathers? Whose campaign strong based are Daniel, AKALA, Oyinlola etc?

As per our action, when Andoaka, Turai etc hijacked powers from Yaradua cos of illness, it took action to force the NASS to apply doctrine of necessity to relinquish power to Jonathan to become Acting President, it took action to force IBB out to relinquish Power to Shonekan, it took effort of Nadeco, CD and many others during Abacha days to attracts several sanctions from international bodies and invoke the wrath of God upon himself, it took effort to start this present INEC registration else, we would have been using that old fraudulent register for this election. So when we speaks, our word is a powerful currencies that those cabals fear but we do not know. Join the ACTION CLUB. Do not just sit down and allow looters to continue to reign just because u feel your IDEAL MR PERFECT is about to emerge. THE PRINCIPLE SHOULD BE THIS, WHEN PRESENTED WITH CHOICES, ONLY THE BEST OF THE CHOICES SHOULD BE GIVEN THE CHANCE. That will make people perform better. It is not because one is perfect. It is because one is better based on performance history and what we have seen so far. Chikena

Intrepid!:
Oga, stop talking crap! You must be incredibly uninformed and astonishingly not-so-smart if you refuse to acknowledge the massive powers a 'Nigerian' President wields in this day and age. What's my business with Buhari's ambition? Am I running for President? The simple truth is that none of the jokers running for President at the moment is competent enough to lead us, finish!

@ INTREPID, I can now conclude that you are very young or naive because no president in Nigeria no matter how Powerful he is can force down a policy on people without the support base of the house in a democratic setting? As powerful as OBJ was, he could not change the constitution to get 3rd term no matter how hard he tried.

And all aspirants are jokers? None is competent to rule you? You are part of the lazy generation sidon look, do nothing people. Shio,

@Ayybam, what the sonofabitch hell are you talking about? What IS a Jihadist? Were you in a coma when Buhari was moaning up and down for the imposition of Sharia?
[quote][/quote]@ Intrepid, you do not have to be insulting. That is a valid character of a Jihadist? They are always angry when they are questioned? When was it Buhari was moaning up and down for the imposition of sharia? These are unfounded stories precisely targeted at destroying the credibility of a man who has character to cause positive change in the country. Buhari might be interested in Sharia but Mr, sharia is just a law. People studied these law in big universities abroad. I am a banker, people are researching into the the study of Islamic banking, why? because countries like Dubai, Saudi and Omar are developing strong financial institutions are money are being transfered there. There was a time Sanusi said if given a chance, all banks MDs will be shot dead. How many has he been able to shoot. People are free to express their opinions but that does not make them bad. That is not to say that I agree Buhari wanted imposition of sharia.

And INTREPID Jihadist is what we are talking about not Sharia. They are 2 different things but I have seen that your sense of reasoning has been darkened and you do not know your left from right. The Jihadist that I mentioned in PDP, can u deny there Jihad actions? IF U FAIL TO EXPLAIN THAT, THEN I WILL CONCLUDE YOUR SENSE OF REASONING HAS NOT ONLY BEEN DARKENED BUT DEAD.

johndoe200:
Please tell them, ACN and Buhari-bin-Laden are just trying to deceive people. The electorate are to enlightened now for these sort of tricks.

Say NO to corrupt criminal, jihadists like Buhari-bin-Laden. Ribadu is a joke, without any one telling you, don't you know that Tinubu and Ribadu should not be in the same party?

@ Johndoe200, so what enlightenment has the electorate gotten now about PDP? What has changed in their policies and ways of doing things. Do you strongly believe that this PDP govt will take this nation out of the woods?

Your problem is dat you are part of the lazy generation, do nothing sidon look club. Buhari a Jihadists? Mention a single instance of that or are you still blindfolded with the tales by moonlight of your parents? You are a religious bigots and do not hang that on a credible man. The Jihadist are in PDP? They are the one throwing bombs in Jos, they are those who have sworn to make the country ungovernable for GEJ if he did not respect zoning, they are the one who destroyed a whole community - ODI in Bayelsa state because they are asking for their dues from govt, they are the ones who destroyed Gbaramatu village and destroyed innocent lives because their representatives like Ibori, Uduaghan, Igbinedion, Odili have stolen the collective wealth of the nation and yet did not rub off on the society. Those are the Jihaddist.
