monkeyleg:Exactly! However, there might be one or two intellectual scarabs that will find cleverness in your attempts to derail this thread. It will do you well to keep them company. Run along. ![]() |
monkeyleg:Most times, you don't make sense. |
Wadeoye:Honest, that really sounds strange and wacky! You have been asked why quite a few Buhari folk employ very underhand means, but have come up with quite a bad answer. If you feel people are visionless, you preach your vision, not throw stones at them (or perhaps, there is really no vision? ). Why should most Buhari folk wish to personally attack GEJ supporters, even with physical violence? Do you think that is normal politics or vision? How can you confuse the promotion of violence with anti-corruption, can you not see the inherent contradiction in your statement? Dude, promoting violence is one and the same as promoting corruption. It is coersion and a mild form of terrorism. Wadeoye:Why? So you can send stone throwing thugs? ![]() |
[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=637417.msg8038988#msg8038988 date=1301760993]Q: Nigeria’s non-vote: Incompetence or sabotage? A: Both! Lol @ GEJ's administration blaming Japan[/quote]You're telling lies: According to the shame-faced head of Nigeria’s electoral commission, one of the excuses given by suppliers who failed to get ballot papers to the country in time for Saturday’s parliamentary ballot was that there had been problems as a result of the tsunami in Japan.When did the Nigeria’s electoral commission become GEJ's administration? Don't make yourselves seem little with such trash. |
oyb:Stunning! How does this anti-GEJ supporter rant convince anyone to vote Buhari? And here I was trying to convince myself that anti-GEJ folks genuinely had issues with the govt! The very first paragraph of the article is apt here: Well, well! NL is dotted with venom spitting anti-GEJ threads with titles like, "Fools Rush In."True to type? |
If the reason Buhari removed Shagari was corruption, what crime(s) of corruption did he charge Shagari with? If anything, Buhari created his own problems and fought vigorously with winds and and shadows, while Nigeria melted. Buhari ended up killing off a set of politicians that meant well for the country. The accounts of the likes of Ambrose Alli (gov, bendel State), Ajasin etc were empty before and after they left jail. Almost all the politicians died from the inhuman prison conditions, several even went blind. Today, what sort of politicians do we have? The responsible civilian class has been replaced by thieving ex-generals (including Buhari). They should all be shot. |
Jega has only fallen victim to the Nigerian problem of chaos. IMHO, Becos una too de rig, the man wanted to bring in the genuine documents only at the last minute, so that the fools that have been printing "election results" weeks before hand (eg the Anambra case), would be caught off guard. If that was the plan, then unfortunately it has failed and Jega now has egg all over his face. |

Wadeoye:I guess you've only said that, because the horrible marriage between Buhari and Ribadu has gone sour. Dude, don't take a simplistic view. CPC has been captured by the cabal, thats the hidden meaning in Ribadu's words. Buhari sold to the devil and is about to rip the dues; there are plots and schemes to supplant him with Ribadu. Watch out for high intrigue in the next few days. ![]() |
Secondly, I want to stress the point that this cheap scheme is deliberately calculated to abort our democratic march through manipulation, and through the hijack of our right to electoral choice, a central value of a true democracy. To all the architects of this devilish scheme therefore, I have a simple message: that their electoral manipulation only goes to feed into the machinations of the same forces of misrule and darkness that have kept our nation down for the past two decades. If it is not clear to them that they are in bed with the PDP, Nigerians are finally getting to know now whose interest they are working to advance.”Sharrrrrrrrrrap dia sir! You talk from both sides of the mouth. ![]() Are you just realising that CPC is 90% made up of disgruntled ex-PDP zoning lords and cabal chieftains who couldn't withstand the reformist pressures within PDP? All the time Ribadu was hobnobbing with IBB, having late night starry eyed dinners, whispering sweet nothings and getting a getting a ringing endorsement from the 666, did he not know the dark forces he was self-servicing with? After all the nocturnal meetings with the Ciroma's, Northern Stakeholders and other pieces of bigotted garbage, is Ribadu just realising that there's something strikingly odious about a "Northern consensus candidate?" Hell! He even hailed the objective on the tarmac as he swung out of IBB's plane! Malam Ribadu, who fielded questions from newsmen at the Minna International Airport on arrival in the Niger State capital for the kick-off of his presidential campaign, said the consensus talks were “real, alive and on the front burner.”You just don't have enough quantities of grey matter sir! What did you think meetings with ex-PDP zoning proponents was about? |

[size=14pt]Why is the Buhari supporter soooooooooooooooo angry?[/size] Well, well! NL is dotted with venom spitting anti-GEJ threads with titles like, "Fools Rush In." The new tactic it seems, is not to marshal debate points, but to hound GEJ supporters with abuse, throw stones and insults, bully and terrorise. Instead of advertising their candidates strengths, they've reached into the gutter to coin a thousand, "prayer for GEJ supporters" threads. They can keep their wretched prayers, we have better, much more intelligent ones. Why do such types seem to abound in the Buhari camp? A lot is fundamentally wrong with Buhari's politics; rather than intellect and philosophy, it is grounded in pseudo-religious fervour, making it a natural magnet to the non-cerebral types that create the tasteless threads dotting NL. There is further fuel for the type in words like, "lynch election riggers" and Bakare's infamous "wild-wild North." The followers are merely emulating their "leaders." But why the numerous expressions of hatred from the Buhari camp? I guess like us, they have read the writing on the wall that campaigning solely in the North (while it is an apt description of the candidates bigoted outlook), will only rip a huge election loss. The bitterness of his followers is called, sour grapes. Some Buhari people - "Its a primitive World, where we tell lies and throw stones!" www.nairaland.com/attachments/402192_neanderthalBuhari_jpg94a5dcb7e8dc00198a7a1091cb279960 |
Ibime:Damn! . . .Just like planning? There were very serious blackouts in Buhari's time, but he was too busy enjoying sirens and airconditioned cars to notice. Details do not bother a man like Buhari, he is a man that notices little; he never noticed the problems with NEPA (just as he never noticed IBB was overthrowing him). Our power problems began in the military regimes led by murdering, opportunistic, short sighted, parasitic, barely-literate and daft buffoons and robbers in uniform. The likes of Buhari should be on a beach, getting shot for treason; instead, in our weird system the murderer is actually contesting for the highest office. |

[size=14pt]Buhari’s many faces[/size] Apr 1, 2011 NO election is complete in the United States without a comprehensive background check on the candidates. Almost everything they had said, every actions they had taken and choices made are scrutinized by the media, and the opposition. Even the clubs, and churches the candidates attend, all is up in the radar. The essence is to dig out the true character of the contestants, their ideological preferences and worldviews, and how these may colour their decisions if they get elected. Americans do not joke with the antecedent of their politicians, especially those vying for a top position. While a candidate running for an election often say the right things and make the right noises to get elected, an investigation of his background may reveal something entirely different. He may be a closet racist or a religious bigot, or simply incompetent. It was a background check that almost torpedoed the presidential ambition of Barrack Obama in 2008. He was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ pastored by the fiery Jeremiah Wright. Wright had condemned the United States government in several sermons at the Church, blaming it for most of the world’s ills, including manufacturing the AIDS virus. The discovery endangered Obama’s presidential dream as the suspicion was that he might share his pastor’s vociferous anti-American views. Obama eventually had to denounce Wright. I wonder what a comprehensive background check might reveal about our Presidential candidates. But if there is one presidential candidate I do not need any investigation into his background to know his opinion, worldview and biases, that man should be General Muhammed Buhari. The Buhari narrative is very well known. He became head-of-state in the early 80s at the age of 41 after bulldozing his way into power through a coup which led to the sack of the NPN government led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari. Buhari quickly made name for himself as a no-nonsense leader who would not tolerate any dissent and indiscipline. Or so he would have us believe. This public mien as a dispassionate anti-corruption crusader was however undermined by some of the not-so secret actions he took. [b]Firstly after the coup, several political leaders were arrested and detained. But surprisingly, while the former President Shagari was kept in a cozy apartment in Ikoyi, his deputy Alex Ekwueme was jailed at the maximum prison in Kirikiri. The question, I am sure, Buhari still finds difficult to answer almost 30 years after is: what peculiar offence did Ekwueme commit to warrant the rough treatment he got while his boss had a much better deal at Ikoyi? If the public officers were jailed because of their collective responsibility for the actions of their government, Shagari as head of that government should take most of the blame. The only exception would be that that there were peculiar and personal allegations levelled against Ekwueme, the former VP, which his boss was unaware of. Mr. Buhari may want to throw more light on this. If not one is likely to believe the allegations on the street that Ekwueme was treated more harshly because he is from the SouthEast unlike Shagari who is from the same Northwest zone as Buhari. Then during the time when old currency was being changed to new ones, Buhari announced the closure of the borders to ensure that there was no smuggling in or out of money. But even that action was dogged by allegations of bias coloured by ethnicity. Nasir El Rufai, the former FCT minister put it better in press statement he sent out earlier this year. “In 1984, Buhari allowed 53 suitcases belonging to his ADC’s father, to enter Nigeria unchecked, at a time the country was exchanging old currency for new ones,” El Rufai said. Buhari reportedly turned a blind eye to that infraction because the person involved was a leading emir from the North. This charge of ethnic bias has trailed Buhari throughout his public life. But as well noteworthy was his inflexibility and highhandedness. Two evidences will suffice. As head-of-state, Buhari promulgated the infamous decree four. The gist of this decree is that a journalist who reported any issue that embarrassed the military government would be sent to jail, even if the report was true. True to his threat, two journalists – Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor were jailed for reports, which though accurate were deemed to be embarrassing to the government. Another decree prescribed death sentence for drug traffickers, no matter the quantity of drugs trafficked; and to make it more draconian the law was retroactive. It ensnarled several drug peddlers months after they had committed the crime and before the law was passed. They were summarily executed in spite of the public outcry that the decree was against natural justice. If Nigeria were to be US or a more sane society, the media would have feasted on these breaches by Candidate Buhari. The fact that he sacked a legitimate government would be enough reason to rule him out of national or statewide contest for a political office[/b]. The Americans and, to some extent, the Europeans are very particular about the kind of people who offer themselves for an election. This scrutiny is not misplaced. It is to ensure that people with dubious background never hold serious political offices. That was why the candidacy of George McGovern, the Democratic Party Candidate of the 1972 US Presidential election lost traction. It was revealed that his Vice Presidential nominee, Thomas Eagleton, once suffered clinical depression and had visited a psychiatrist. Eagleton wasn’t mad, but needed help for emotional issues. That was enough to derail the presidential ambition of McGovern, even though he eventually replaced Eagleton after initially dithering. Americans don’t take a chance, even the slightest one, with those they entrust with leadership. Whoever becomes the US President becomes leader of the free world and is ultimately responsible for its nuclear arsenal. So they cannot afford to take such a chance. But why are many Nigerians willing to take a chance with Buhari? What in his antecedent give them hope that he will be a democrat, a fair and just leader to all? I have looked closely into the man’s history and optimism does not well up in me. As for fear, I have it plenty. For example, the 1990s were a tough period for our country. It was the time a lot of human rights and pro democracy activists took on the Sanni Abacha dictatorship. Many were killed, including Kudirat Abiola and Pa Alfred Rewane; while thousand of journalists and pro democracy activists were either sent to jail or forced into exile. Many statesmen, Ekwueme inclusive, took a stand and confronted Abacha at grave risk to their lives. Where was Buhari at this tumultuous period of our national life? Not a word was heard from him. Rather he was serving the dictator as chairman of PTF. [size=14pt]Buhari’s actions show that his worldview is narrow and shaped by his ethnicity and religion. There is no reason to believe he has changed. So why should I commit the leadership of my country into the hands of a proven religious bigot and tribalist? Why?[/size] Mr. BY JULIUS OGUNRO, a commentator on national affairs, writes from Abuja. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/04/buhari%E2%80%99s-many-faces/ |

[size=14pt]In Kano, People’s Eyes Are Now Wide Open —Kwankwaso[/size] Saturday, 02 April 2011 Former governor of Kano State and gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Musa Kwankwaso, spoke with journalists on his confidence that he will carry Kano State, just like the party’s presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, will the entire country in the general election. KOLA OYELERE presents excerpts from the interview. WHAT are the chances of the PDP in Kano State at the elections? With the prevailing political situation, the party’s chances of winning the state are bright because the people are yearning for a change of government. They have realised many things, including not belonging to mainstream politics, and the time has come for them to effect the change. The party in power, ANPP (All Nigeria Peoples Party), is jittery about the popularity of the PDP. The masses are determined to vote the PDP because people have understood that they are being deceived and cheated. What about the crisis in the state PDP? The PDP in the state has finally reconciled its differences and formed a united front to work for the victory of its presidential and gubernatorial candidates. Aren’t you wary of the incumbency factor? Let me tell you this: The people’s eyes are now open and nobody will deceive them again. The people have realised that they have been deceived for long. For your information, the only party that has national representation is the PDP and nobody wants to associate with failure. The elections will spring surprises. Why are you so sure of your party? A lie cannot run fast because it has a short leg. The truth will always prevail. No matter how long you have fooled the people, they will know the truth eventually. People have realised that the PDP was cheated in the past elections. It is on record that the party performed excellently when it was in government. Laudable projects that were executed by the party abound all over the state. People have appreciated this and they have resolved to team up with the party to win elections this time. Recently, in a campaign poster, your portrait was put side by side with that of General Muhammadu Buhari. Did that mean you are not supporting your party’s presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan? Let me correct that impression. I have absolute confidence in the presidential candidate of my party and the PDP. [size=21pt]I also believe the president can win the election by a landslide[/size]. The people behind the said portrait have been arrested and I think we should leave the rest for the police to handle. It was said that a government white paper on some charges against you would stop your political ambition? The politicians that dragged me to court based on the white paper will be put to shame. These people don’t want to admit that their time has gone for good in Kano politics. We have been in the court with them in the last eight years. We have cases in a Kano high court and in Kaduna appeal court. We were also at the Supreme Court. They have taken another one to a high court in Abuja. Let the court determine that. Recently, President Jonathan held his campaign rally in Kano. How did you see the event? We thank Allah for all that happened. Contrary to the expectations of some disgruntled elements, the rally was held and the crowd was unprecedented. The enemies of progress have been shamed; they don’t have anything to say again. It is also important to note that many politicians who defected from other parties came out en-masse to join the PDP. The masses have realised that the only party capable of taking the country and the state to a greater height is PDP. What do you have in store for the people? The administration will try to consolidate on what it is noted for - education, health and security. The government will bring back free feeding in schools, free uniforms for primary school pupils and loans to women to make them self-dependent. There are many programmes the government will introduce to address the myriad of problems facing the masses. When we reach the bridge, Allah will show us how to cross it. How do you see moves by some parties to form an alliance to confront the PDP at the elections? One thing you should know is that it is only PDP that is not built around an individual. Look at the ACN; who is controlling the party? Is it not Senator Bola Tinubu? What of the CPC? General Muhammadu Buhari is the controller. The controller of ANPP is Malam Ibrahim Shekarau. However, it is not easy to pinpoint an individual as the controller of the PDP. This is the only party that has national outlook and that is the reason the party is the greatest in Africa. It has membership that cuts across the country. In a nutshell, the PDP is a winning party, regardless of any gang-up by the mushroom parties. He who is with Allah is in majority. The PDP is with God and nothing can affect its chances at the polls. [size=21pt]We de kampe.
