^ Hmmm. Seems CPC has heard about the man "Beaf" and they have employed someone to checkmate him. Sorry, it's too late. You cant play his game and win him. It's game over. Join the mourners. We will console you after the election.

Point of correction.When GEJ wins

daroz:
At the initial stage, my support was fully for GEJ. Then when Buhari choosed Bakare as running mate, nairalanders made me decamp to BB train. Then after the free and fare parliamentary election last saturtuday, they draged me back to GEJ camp. Now, Buhari weep while givining speech today, they are trying to confuse me again. I dont know which train to join now, I need help!!!!!

sbeezy8: hahah you guys are dreaming like hell Justcash said GEJ will hand over to SE you said it is open field but your spirit is saying SE.

lol who votes - ?

Lagosboy:
Please be matured enough to know the fine line between poltical differences and insulting another religion. I will not waste my time schooling you but I want to still believe you have a conscience to tell you , your statements are bigoted and needless.

Lagosboy:
Please in the name of God dont let us go down relgious intolerance. What has sharia got to do with this. Why do you have to insult the senesitivities of millions of muslims. You have a right to support GEJ but not bashing the religon of another candidate.

As far as i know I have not thrown one insult at knowall and i never insult anyone here on NL. You could prove me wrong if you can.

@Funken
Yes I also expect more, but I'm no ignoramus, so I expect it to be made passable first so people can stop dying on it, before it would be reconstructed!! If they have to start reconstruction today, it would take at least 4 years even in America to complete, so where do you expect passengers to use in the period of the reconstruction.

We have to be realistic please. This road was a death trap for ages. I remember twice travelling through that road. Because there was an immense hold up, vehicles were passing thru a bush road. We joined on the bush road and there was a huge hold up in the bush for over 5km where we stayed for hours! If you ever experienced the horror on that road, then you will commend a man who just got here 10 months ago and suddenly the road is passable. I rode past last week and we did Benin- Lagos in 3hrs cruising at something like 150km per hr with little or no hindrance!! That was impossible 6 months ago!!

The fact that you hate Jonathan doesn't take away from the fact that the road has been improved immensely!

[size=14pt]I Nigeria messed up?[/size]

Yes and yes.

It was messed up by the over ambitious "elite" military boys of whom Buhari is a chief.
When I mean boys, I mean boys as in boys (not men).

Imagine, Gowon was just 26 when he became head of state. They held the nation to ransom from independence until now.
Buhari has nothing offer Nigeria.

sbeezy8:
^^^ that convo makes no sense even i know that GEJ isnt the boss type of guy.

the best thing ACN could have done is stand on their own

beaf what you think about 2015 for president GEJ?

ode remo:
@beaf get the hell outta here.
btween tinubu and the fisherman, who speak the better english.
dont start what u cant finish,  and don compare REMI  with umbrera either.

kokoA:
@ Beaf

It may interest you to know that I am from the niger delta but I still don't support GEJ. I rather give my vote to an up right fulani man than "a brother" who wine and dine with criminals, Now tell me who is the "tribal bigot" now? Begy begy GEJ

kokoA:
@ Beaf

I dont have time for your useless pro GEJ rants ok? I am entitle to my own opinion. But any how you look at it, Ebele is begging for Tinibu's endorsement

kokoA:
GEJ is really desperate o sho! No wonder Tinubu discribed himm as a drunk fisher man Thoght he said Yorubas are rascals? Why is he on his kneels begging for their votes now?

DrummaBoy:
Whatever would move a man to tears must be true love. Even Opa Williams hardly can get his stars to shed tears. My respect for Buhari increases by the day.

Let me digress: I notice in other thread that what Beaf and other GEJ supporters continue to say is GEJ will win; Buhari will loose. The question is not who wins or looses, but who is competent enough to rule this nation.

Buhari has shown us who is really is from his [size=14pt]stella service[/size] to this nation since the 60's, his delivering this nation from ruin in 1984 and his work with the PTF.

What we should ask GEJ is what has he done, what is he doing and what is he going to do? So far all I have seen is a man who is wasting national resources in a time of great national prosperity(although no one is see it). Today GEJ spent 2.5 million naira on five full page advert in Punch alone, not to talk of other papers.

NL is a social website that gives Nigerian opportunity to discuss National issues and not for some people to keep ranting GEJ will and all the balderdash, Deliver yourself from religious and trbal prejudices and consider.

apoti:
Beaf, we all know GEJ is not that smart

OAM4J:
If GEJ wins, I hope your tears will still be tears of joy in 4 years time.

I hope even your region, the Niger Delta will will shed tears of joy and not of sorrow.

CuteTj:
@Beaf. Are u advising Fashola to leave Tinubu and ACN? Just because everybody is singing Fashola's praises now doesnt make him a Grand Master. To me Fashola is not too politically motivated and minded to try that kind of a thing. He should just concentrate on governance and developing Lagos. He should leave the dirty politics to Tinubu. They make a good tag team. For now Tinubu can do without Fashola but Fashola cannot do without Tinubu. How many years has he used in politics? He better dont let praises get into his head. Remember pride goes before a fall. It is people like u that always bite the fingers that fed you.

dustydee:
these names look familiar. . . are they not the same people that GEJ has been begging to support him? Is it because they have refused to support him? If Aleiro and Ruma did anything wrong why is he still walking free? Does that mean GEJ is incapable of fighting corruption? I weep for Nigeria.

GenBuhari: These elections were rigged.

Why am I the only one saying this?

Have we forgotten all the polls on Nairaland?

We should not keep quiet forever.

Are we gonna wait until they rig the presidential elections also before we become angry

cjfavour:
Buhari's military take over was as a result of corruption,impunity,violence and immorality dt nearly destroyed our country in d 80s. I dnt know why these ppl dt doesn't like fighting corruption is always crying about this. PDP and GEJ celebrates corruption bt Buhari will never.This is why i'm against GEJ.
BEAF U CAN INSULT ME IF U WANT BT KNOW THIS,'BACK TO SENDER'.

Muhammad Buhari
ARTICLEfrom theEncyclopædia BritannicaGet involved Share Muhammad Buhari, Muhammad also spelled Muhammadu  (born Dec. 17, 1942, Daura, Nigeria), Nigerian military leader, who served as head of state (1984–85).

Educated largely in Katsina, Buhari took military training in Kaduna as well as in Great Britain, India, and the United States. He was involved in the military coup that ousted Yakubu Gowon in 1975 and was appointed military governor of North Eastern state (now Borno) that same year. He was appointed federal commissioner for petroleum resources by Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo, who became military head of state when Gowon’s successor, Murtala Mohammed, was assassinated in 1976. By 1977 Buhari had become the military secretary at Supreme Military Headquarters, which was the seat of government. By September 1979 he had returned to regular army duties and commanded a division based in Kaduna. Although elected government had returned to Nigeria in 1979, dissatisfaction with what the military perceived as corrupt politicians led to another military coup on Dec. 31, 1983, and Buhari was chosen unanimously to be the new head of state.

Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average Nigerian. [size=14pt]In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists.[/size] By August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was released at the end of 1988.

In 2003 Buhari ran for president; he was defeated by the incumbent, Olusegun Obasanjo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Buhari ran again in 2007 but was defeated by the PDP’s candidate, Umaru Yar’Adua, in an election that was strongly criticized by international observers as being marred by voting irregularities.
