I State Atiku was a better option, I thought I was the only one who noticed that Buhari basically stated in his inauguration speech that he had no power plan and that studies were underway. He won since March 28, 2 full months to plan his government at least.
Even GEJ and the notoriously slow Yar’Adua at least had given some sense of the direction they were taking by now.

The same Atiku that has been implicated in the Halliburton bribery scandal? See enemies of progress o.

TANoids are soooo pained that their man lost, they have been crying for over two months straight and that's how they will continue to cry for the next eight years. PMB will continue to rule while faceless trolls will continue to lament on internet forums. Make una continue.

Firefire:
If Mr. Ambode would be allowed to clean the dirt in Lagos State, he must not only step on toes but cut-off some toes totally including that of the asiwaju awon ole.


Then we can line-up behind you, oh Ambode!

Ambode is closer to Tinubu than Fashola is. In fact he is Tinubu's official bag man.

I believe the official number of people killed in Biafra was 2 million. OP, where did you get the 3 million number from?

emyphil:
He is a Biafran it is normal coz we are not Nigeria .but have ihejirika for once think about Biafra as his hope. When he was there he forget his people

How can he be a Biafran when he was Chief of Army Staff, the overall head of the Nigerian army? Maybe you should ask Gen. Ihejirika what he considers himself to be and stop making useless assumptions.

barcanista:
In orther word, Buhari is as "corrupt" and very insensitive as David Mark?

No. When Buhari's wife bought her wristwatch she was a private citizen. When David Mark commissioned the customized gift wristwatch for Goodluck Jonathan they were both very much public officials.

yang:
Hypocrisy is when u chant sai Buhai while supporting APC today and say tufiakwa tomorrow when he makes it legal to f*** your 11 year old daughter.

The bill was written and introduced by Senator Anyanwu of Imo state long before Buhari came into power, she is a member of the PDP. By the way, it doesn't change the legal age of consent at all. It only stipulates life imprisonment as punishment for having sexual intercourse with a child under 11.

Orunto:
MUB and PYO are the two SECURITY-AUTHORITIES THAT THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION RECOGNISE. The two must work with equanimity. They must work together. It is therefore a coup and unconstitutional arrangement for one to work independent of the other. Before it is too late, let us start warn this Government against all forms of excluive Northern Agenda. PYO is representing sw, se, ss and some part of the nc, while Mr. President is representing nw, ne and some part of the nc.

Which Nigerian constitution you dey read? There is no role for the Vice President in the constitution besides taking over if and when the President is unable to perform his duties. That is all the VP is there for, anything else na jara.

atinukedam:
Amechi u re a bloody liar.....u wil reap wat u did 2 Jonathan 4 sure

Madam, you still want Uncle Jona to be ruling you? E be like say you dey enjoy suffering o!

Revolution:
On the contrary, that horse should belong to the federal government. Any gift given to government officials, above a certain token value, should be handed over to the federal government. This is the law in nigeria and many other countries to avoid bribery and allegations of bribery in government.

Like the watch that David Mark gave to Jonathan abi?

If you don't believe the allegations then what is heartbreaking or thought provoking inside?

Datazone:
The way we see Buhari and his family gross misconduct within Five days of his assumption in office is really heartbreaking and thought provoking. So much from a family that happens to be Modest and painted with Integrity!


Here is just a recap:
1. Buhari's wife wore 10.8 million naira wrist watch
2. Buhari's house was uncovered in Asokoro. It cost 2.1 billion naira
3. Now his daughter did the above.

I do not believe all three of the above though, I just listed the allegations I saw online.

NB: I'm not a PDP or APShit supporter. I just want to be fair.

The man was in Niger listening to an English translation of the proceedings which was in French. Music ko, poetry ni.

Trailblazer1:


So all this stunt is to make us believe that Aisha Buhari could afford to spend #10.5million for an ordinary watch while her husband had to borrow #27million to buy nomination form.

The fools who you intended to deceive have already been deceived.

But I'm mentally sane, rational and critically minded to believe this bullshi.t

He didn't borrow any money to buy a nomination form and he never said he did. Just more TANoid lies.

Descartes:
APC has not seen anything yet.

This doesn't bother APC one little bit. If PDP continues like this, spreading hateful lies then they will lose the next elections even worse than they lost the last one, so continue o hate mongers.

zendy:
What is at stake? The economic and political subjugation of a people who are large enough to form their own country and administer their own affairs? What is at stake here is freedom. Biafra will not be easy at first,but in the long run, it will be well worth it.

Which economic and political subjugation? Some of the richest and most influential people in Nigeria are of Igbo extraction. SE states have equal rights to participate and vote in Nigerian democracy. They play politics in Igbo land the same way they play politics all over Nigeria. Igbo people are living all over the country, going to school, doing business and owning property. Which subjugation? This is 2015 not 1966. I believe most reasonable Ndigbo know that things would not necessarily be more rosy even if Biafra was actualized today. If there's a need to improve relations and representation it can be worked out within the Nigerian context. It's time to get over the past and let bygones be bygones.

shachris:
my only problem is that they should stop deceiving us. How would his wife be this wealthy and he was still going around begging for money to buy nomination form? is that normal?

This confirms a personal experience my friend told me about buhari...i denied him then....but now i just dont know. anyway that's a story for another day.

President Buhari never borrowed a kobo to buy nomination forms and he never claimed to have done so. Please stop believing all the lies on social media and the false headlines in newspapers. Google the story and read what Buhari said himself. He asked his bank to guarantee that his cheque wouldn't bounce as a courtesy, it wasn't a loan. All of the money for the forms came out of Buhari's account.

zendy:
When Biafra comes, don't really expect Igbos to pack and go, it ain't going to happen. Go and look at your Nigerian passport well and ask what "ECOWAS" engraved in front of it means because you will see that same ECOWAS in front of the Biafran passport. ECOWAS allows anybody in west Africa to travel and live anywhere in west Africa. Any Yoruba man who thinks that Biafra means kicking Igbos out of Lagos and taking over their properties should perish the thought. As a Biafran, I will never need Visa to go anywhere in Nigeria including Lagos.

You won't need a visa to travel but you will need a permit to work and to own businesses. Believe me no serious Igbo person would support Biafra if they knew what was at stake.

CSTR2:
And buhari had to lie about "only one million naira" in my account and 150 Cows.
Why did he also claim to be so broke as to borrow 27m for nomination form?
Your buhari is untrustworthy.
I don't think any sensible employer will accept such duplicitous character in his company.

You falsely quoted Buhari in your above post. He never said he had "only one million naira" in his account, he said he had "at least one million naira". It doesn't take a lot of common sense to know that there is potentially a huge difference between those two statements. In a few weeks his declaration of assets form should be made public by the CCB so we will all know exactly how much the President has in his accounts.
Regarding the issue of borrowing 27m, that is also false. If you read the statement President Buhari made during the campaign about the issue, he wasn't sure the balance in his account would cover the amount and so he wrote a letter to his bank manager with whom he was fortunate to have a personal relationship requesting overdraft services just in case the amount wasn't covered. In other words he sent a letter with his cheque saying please don't allow this cheque to bounce, and it was granted as a courtesy based on his personal recognition at the bank.

CSTR2:
A man with only one million in his account has children in the best schools in the UK.
Let me see the irredeemable slowpoke that will tell me buhari is honest.

Buhari is honest, he didn't steal when he was head of state from 1983 to 1985 and I know he won't steal this time around.. As a former head of state his children have their school fees paid by the federal govt anywhere in the world they may be schooling. Also his wife was a very successful private businesswoman for years and she has her own money.

FreeGlobe:
thats a bootleg

The watch she's wearing is obviously the replica not the original, compare the wrist straps and you'll see the difference.

I guess this means she's not on his list for an appointment.

Statements like that are very generic, anybody could have come up with it. There is nothing special about it. Plagiarism usually involves unique statements with multiple sentences or paragraphs which could not have been independently thought of by coincidence.
OP I hope you learned something new today. Now go and find something better to do with your time.

nwachivis:
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari copied his "I belong to Everyone" quotation on his inauguration day speech from Eric Burdon without giving him credit for it.
Folks, say no to stealing of intellectual property in
Nigeria

Click here to see for yourselves, folks!

Mynd44:
I am liking this
Garba Shehu is the new Reno Omokri and Femi Adesina is the Ruben Abati.

Loooooool

More like the new Doyin Okupe. Reno Omokri was a boy boy compared to others on GEJ's team.

Lol. Toothless bulldog, keep on making noise you hear.

bunmititi:
wahallai talahi!
i shall torture buhari
any time he comes into the public consciousness!

now he has forced himself permanenetly into public view
as president of nigeria,
he just painted a big red bulls-eye on his back!

As long as he is there,
i shall torture him!
i shall hold his feet to the fire!
i shall show him pepper!

you talk of four years,

(i do not think he will last four years.
i think he will form one excuse soon
and run back to daura.
but if he stays there for four years,)

i shall not relent
even if he makes 1 naira = 1 dollar,
i shall spit in his eye!

i shall boo him
i shall put him stud
i can even bribe referee to blow fowl against him.
i shall give him upper-cut
round-house,
below the belt!
i shall kick his blokos!

the only thing that can save that brainless village idi-ot from daura
is if i suddenly becomes a billionaire
(and the chances of this is slim to zero
except you mean Zim dollars)
and i get busy drinking juice in my banana iceland manshion

Excellent write-up OP, you hit the nail on the head.

PhockPhockMan:
I've recognized your existence, oya go and sleep.

Wetin consign me with you? As your oga Jona don become irrelevant na so you sef go remain irrelevant. The useless following the clueless.

PhockPhockMan:
Nobody is contesting with you on that.
Have it in mind that there are bumpy roads ahead.

So the current condition of the road under Jonathan is not bumpy right now abi? It can only get better under Buhari. Four years from now nobody will even remember Jonathan again, he had his chance and he blew it big time.

elijah2u:
he has been in d house for 16yrs y cnt he build more dan dat? people sha. in fakt, if he can buy d whole state so b it, afteral he worked for it

How did he work for it? In Nigerian politics money does not come from working, it comes from stealing.

Last minute looting. Money that can be used to address more important issues for Nigeria they are wasting on so-called stoves for rural women. Why not also release money for the kerosene and also for the food that they will use the stove to cook?

Ezenwammadu:
lf we listened to GEJ and allowed fuel subsidy to be removed this mess would have nevet happened

Nonsense. GEJ removed part of the subsidy and said the money saved will be used for capital projects nationwide under SURE-P. Now tell me what exactly has SURE-P done since then? If the entire subsidy had been removed we would still be in this same mess as long as GEJ was still there.

eaglechild:
GEJ is still president and can make any appointment he deems necessary.

I forgot to add those who don't like it can jump into hot oil.

Ahn, but there is no fuel to go and buy the hot oil na.

It's just too bad. Imagine if Jonathan had won reelection.
