"Wind of change. Buhari may not be the ideal President. But when compared to his main rival, GEJ, who brings nothing to the table, Buhari Presidency may just be inevitable. His major promise has been to work hard to fight corruption. And that's key. Buhari does not appeal to me as someone who understands modern economic dynamics. An astute and dynamic Deputy and a vibrant cabinet may help.

Nigeria is bleeding, almost to a point of death. A period of oil boom just ended, nothing to show for it. If fighting corruption, blocking leakages and reducing rent taking is all Buhari can achieve, Nigeria will make progress.

Let the Wind of #CHANGE Blow. Let It Blow. Let It Blow till GEJ & PEJ retires happily to Otuoke."

How is that weakness? When Atiku was busy buying up delegates? The real question is Tinubu. If Tinubu can stay onside and not get induced by money, and Buhari picks someone like Rochas as vice, then Buhari has a good chance against Gej.
Who is the Rochas? You think igbos have any regard for him? You're being decieved. Rochas has no pedigree among igbos.

Man of the match suppose to be the guy that wore Number 5 Jersey. He was the Minister of Defense. He played the position 5 and 6 with commitment despite the head injury. He shed his blood for the Victory... Kudos to him
Egwuekwe did well, I think Omeruo should take over the right back position from Ambrose.

Oshaniwa is gradually taking over from Echiejile. He seems to be more composed defensively, although he is still poor at overlapping. Good display ystday.

I wonder why people are being myopic in this issue. We have failed to realisethat none of our players is a super star the best SE's player @ present is Enyeama. The players have scores within themselves which comes to bare even on the pitch. How mu h can a coach do in this situation. It took Westerhoff 5 yrs to build d best team we ever had; USA '94.
Lets allow him prove himself, respect his decisions and make meaningful contribution via constructive critisism .

Would anybody say LVG is technically deficient cos of Man U's unimpressive runs @ d moment?
My problem with Keshi is not that he has beel losing matches. The problem is that he asks the players to keep sending long balls when he doesn't have a Fabregas in the team. Look at the build up to the penalty, the eagles momentarily adopted a tip tap approach and tore open the congo defence. That's what we want to see. None of the long balls yielded anything. Yet the coach won't learn.

Let's allow him to build this team
For how long will he build? He has been building since 2012. Managed to put together a team that won the afcon, instead of the team getting stronger from there it was getting weaker. Because Keshi continued to build by introducing average players for better ones. Except for Aaron Samuel though. He should know the core of his team by now.
Sports › Re: Congo Vs Nigeria: AFCON Qualifiers (0 - 2) ON 15th November 2014 by balladin: 6:50pm On Nov 15, 2014
Sincerely, Keshi must go back and do his homework. This victory just happened, I don't know how, but certainly not through any tactical plan. We have some good players in the team and some average ones too. The coach must beef up this team. In truth the eagles weren't too wonderful.

We are playing long balls to a diminutive (short) IK Uche in front and we are allowing them to go wide once they get into our half. Which kind of coaching is this?
Keshi making the same long ball mistakes again. Clearly he's short of ideas and can't change pattern. I expected better than this. Eagles are not worth my support.

WHY GEJ MAY NOT EVEN NEED TO RIG THE 2015 ELECTION... AND HE MAY STILL WIN!

Let us be honest, GEJ is "dead-on-arrival" as far as 2015 is concerned. or let me put it differently: He "SHOULD" be D.O.A

But a lot of people like me, want to see a CREDIBLE ALTERNATIVE to GEJ!

This is where l think the selfishness and greed of people like Tinubu and Buhari himself, will come into play.

APC will play into the hands of Jonathan/PDP, if they cannot offer a "more viable' alternative to that clueless Jonathan!

Now, intelligent people have been asking: Why cant APC put-up Governor Fashola, as its Presidential Candidate and finish-off, once and for all, this nonsense we have endured in the last six years in form of a rudderless and completely inept GEJ government?

*Is it Buhari that is very selfish and self-centered?
*Is it Tinubu that is jealous and afraid of the 'trajectory' of Fashola's success?

The latter seems a more plausible explanation if we all remembered how Tinubu tried to scuttle Fashola's re-election for a second term!

I will say something today... and we can validate it after the elections in 2015:

APC must realize that Buhari is not sellable!
I am not saying he is a bad person but the dynamics of Nigerian Politics, at this point and time, does not favor a Buhari Presidency.
Buhari at this point, does not command the confidence of most Nigerians, especially Christians and Southerners, due to events which have been happening in Northern Nigeria and the 'silence' of Buhari or his complete "l-dont-care" attitude.
I am not saying Buhari has a hand in the Boko haram terrorism but l am saying as a statesman, a former head of State, he should have been at the fore front of not only condemning the terrorsist (who are his tribesmen) but should also be "seen" assisting in seeking an end to the menace. He kept 'mum', for most part of it.

Again, the Northerners having over time, ruled Nigeria for about 75% of post-independence, shown themselves not to be very good at "Leadership".
There is this fear that if power is ceded to a Northerner (as Buhari is), they will try to usurp it despite the fact that they are most incompetent to move the nation forward!.
The irony of the 'description' above is that the current alternative (GEJ) is even worse, than the "worst Northerner" that has ever ruled this country!
If Buhari remains the flag bearer of APC, they will lose the Presidential election but it will be a national tragedy that once again, "Jonathan is allowed to "reap Good luck" where he does not deserve one!


In most indices of a good leader, l would score Fashola very high (Not that he is completely infallible, he has done some silly things which l think borders on "elitism", especially in the areas of tax, rural housing, but that discussion can be detailed at another time).
*In terms if "leadership", he has shown character.
*In terms of economic management, he is very well above average.
*He is presentable, of "average age", not recycled, non military background, sharp and astute.
*Though a muslim, he has been able to put Non-muslims "at ease" such that no one even cares about Religion, in his state!
That is how a leader should handle "religion", not sell a "secular country" into the organisation of Islamic countries (OIC).

Putting Buhari and Fashola on a scale, it is obvious where the scale will tip..... in Fashola's favor!

Will Tinubu and Buhari save this nation from an impending catastrophe, (which is what we will face is GEJ gets re-elected) by allowing a "credible alternative" like Governor Fashola to carry their Presidential banner or would personal ego, greed and selfishness of these two 'politicians' override national interest? Time will tell.
Thus, If GEJ wins a second term, dont credit PDP, dont forone moment think its because people want GEJ, dont blame APC,... blame Tinubu and Buhari himself!

Lastpage!
GEJ is on a divine mission to rebuild Nigeria. There are actually several shortcut solutions to fixing Nigeria and few long term painstaking solutions. The shortcut solutions are drastic and portends the risk of blowing out of control, while the long term is a gradual, tolerant, considered, accomodating process that integrates all the factors and eventually snowballs into a renaissance. He has just almost completed the first stage, we have actually seen very little in terms of the type development we crave, but brace up for the next tenure. Take it from me GEJ is going to win and we'll all realise he isn't clueless afterall.

When I hear some pple say'i don't care abt northerners or let them continue killing themselves' I stop to wonder if they were breastfed for complete six months. Now the north is blaming d south and vice versa. We all no Jonathan is incompetent and I can say d worst nigerian president ever but the south is blinded by religion and ethnicity......... I dare any of his supporters 2 prove Mi wrong. Jonathan is insensitive to the plight of the masses yet some fellows will still be shouting and typing GEJ till 2019,I wonder if they even understand the concept of good governance. Well since ur beloved president said'stealing is not corruption' then y should he act after all 'killing a few thousands of Nigerians and taking over some parts of d country that wnt benefit his political ambitions might as well not be terrorism' Oh did I 4get 2 mention? M a southerner, Igbo by tribe.

The bad news we share today was the same reason Ojukwu fought the war. Sadly in war, people die, but the war remains a scar in our history that should point our people to sanity. Unfortunately the same reasons Ojukwu fought the war are littered all over the Nigerian space. Sooner or later we shall know that the northern elites are the reason Nigeria has not known peace.

Only GOD can judge. My question is why only North? Can conspiracy work in north without the awareness of northern leaders? What are the likes of sultan, Babaginda, Atiku, Buhari, Gowon, e.t.c doing to put and end to dz evil act. Sum ppl still believe that the president is behind barbaric attitude of the sect, and you expect the Arewa to keep silent and watch outsider to destroy their future. I think they ware okay with the event, only time will tell when it will consume them. [/quot
My thoughts exactly. Boko haram wouldn't succeed in a region without some high level sympathies. Believe it or not, some northern elites are providing cover for these guys yet some folks are here who blame the Head of state for these despicable acts.

It is sometimes very annoying wen some people say Okocha is the best footballer ever, and that he is not recognized becos he is Nigerian.
Some even say he is better than Ronaldinho because he benched Ronaldinho wen dinho was only 20, and was yet to adapt to european football. Y not just say giggs is also better than C.Ronaldo because he benched him wen he was new in Man United or that Guily is better than Messi because he benched messi wen messi was still very young

Yaya toure is an african nd he is leading man city, Eto was Barcelona top striker for abt 4 years and a nigerian also played for barca in the 1990s, mikel(a nigerian) was nearly thorn apart by man u and chelsea, they wanted him badly.. my point is african/nigerian or not, you would be rewarded accordingly and sought after if you are that good. Okocha is jst over hyped
Do you know what you're saying? Okocha is actually underrated.

Its not just about giving the needy money and food buh making them feel loved and special, bringing urself down so that the needy can approach u.

Back to square zero. I am never a fan of hiring and firing of coaches every here and then. In 2011 October precisely, i kicked against the sacking of Samson Siasia but Nigerians insisted that he must go, cursing and calling him all manners of names; but i stood by him until Keshi came on board to change the Fortune of the team.
Today, the same people calling Siasia names are the people insulting the Big Boss. Some people even go as far as cursing his family!.....
I am happy today that I still stood by Keshi despite all the cricism. I am his fan and I will continue to be his fan until the next coach achieved beyond what Keshi did. For now i will hang my boots and watch as the drama unfolds.
You miss the point. Keshi's major problem is arrogance. Then his mouth is so uncouth even in the face of bad results. I campaigned for Keshi too, but I now know how bad his attitude is. He should just go.
