@ Beaf, just like GEJ is doing for us now, eeehn,, abi no be so,

noblezone:
I think Buhari should be bold enough to say
"If I don't "win" this election then Jonathan must die".

Anybody who has not seen that Mr President has shown enough goodwill towards a free and fair election must be blinded by emotions or simply being mischevious and that includes Buhari.

The ACN member caught with INEC results sheets last in Anambra State should be left to go free while Mr President should be held responsible.

Buhari and his gang of over ambitious soldeirs were the ones who brought this calamity upon us, and I hold them (him personally) responsible if this election is rigged.

Look at this muppet!

Your candidate GEJ goes around promising Northerners 'juicy positions' in his cabinet. He's made a pledge to step aside in 2015 for a Northerner. His godfather (Obasanjo) even hinted to all and sundry in the finale of his campaign that power will revert back to the North.
So what you're really jubilating about now is another 12 years of PDP misrule. 4 years for GEJ, then Sambo gets another 8 years (He's a northerner so it shouldn't be an uphill task like what Jonathan faces).

You clowns aren't weakening the north, you're appeasing them temporarily and strengthening them for the long run while simultaneously voting in the most corrupt party in Africa.

The smart people will vote for change. We'll use Buhari to sweep these PDP rascals away.

Join us now or be prepared to shamefully confess to your children how you helped to sabotage Nigeria's future.

So what options are you proposing, since your pastime on NL is to simply keep attacking Buhari. Give us an intelligent alternative, if you indeed have brains.

It is quite logical for Buhari to have addressed people in the north in Hausa. However in recognition of non hausas who are interested in voting for him and need to know what is being said, there should have been english translation.

He did isolate those who dont understand hausa also.

tunnytox:
If many of the Buhari's crowd are youths with no jobs or education (and therefore does not understand English) isn't that a major sign of the PDP 12 years of failure? what that means is that PDP 12 years of failure is now confronting them, the evil that men do they say now confronts them, no longer live after them.

Eziachi:
@Beaf
So what you are saying is: If Jonathan can speak Hausa, that he will not use Hausa in the north knowing that many, especially the uneducated one will get his message? Now you think its a bad thing. Or you truthfully believe that he will resort to English knowing that they have no idea what he is talking about? Should that kind of thing like campaign be people's oriented. Campaign is like selling a product, so can you decide to sell a product with a language a wider aundience will know and understand or will ue oe just because, as he said- a lingo?

You mean if JONATHAN come to Imo, Anambra, Enugu or any of the Igbo states and talk to the people in IGBO language, that that alone won't win him a few vote? Beacuse eveywhere in the world people always appreciate someone that bother to talk to you in your own language.

Example: Gov Idris of Kogi state was born and raised in Onitsha and speak perfect Igbo. This guy uses every opportunity to speak and show off his Igbo speking skill and guess what? it wins him support of Igbos residing in Kogi all the time and has milk it.

Okupe just told you that in the north, the elite and the few middle class they have do not attend Buhari's rallies except the youths, the unemployed, the homeless and the poor. So you think if that scenario is translated in the poll that the elite/middle class are more than the other mention group or don't you think it 5% vs 95%?

Are you saying that Jonathan will be happy to hear from Okupe, that in the north, he has no support among ordinary or poor people? Tell me which candidate, anywhere in the world who will be happy to be called the candidate of the elite?

Forget about politics sometimes and he honest with yourself, Okupe through this interview, has reveal a lot of what the situation is behind the scene in the PDP whenever they see the kind of crowd Buhari is pulling, especially in the north. When the northern governor are promising him tht they will deliver the north, do you think Jonathan believes them when he watch, just like you and me the kind of rallies Buhari was having compared to his? Be honest with your self and your conscience for once.

PDP has never been challenged like this before. They will never forget 2011. It will teach them several lessons. One of the lessons will be to stick with zoning as long as tribalism and religious differences exist in Nigeria. They will also learn to field only healthy candidates (lesson from Yar'adua).

I also hope the opposition parties have learnt their lessons.

I am happy because, these are signs that democracy is working and should not be crashed as some have suggested. It takes time for the parties to reform and metamorphose into the desired form. Democracy is the slow and steady process that brings sustainable development.

Coolabbie:
Dis is friggin hilarious! How many deaths hv bin recorded in cpc rallies despite d huge crowds? Which party has numerous death trailing deir campaign? During which party rally wz a bomb detonated dat killed several people? Wat about d stampede in PH, which party wz responsible 4 dat? Which party has bombers, drug barons, murderers, convicted thieves on deir campaign team? I dey laff o!

He noted that when Buhari campaigns in the whole of the North, he does not speak English but Hausa language to his supporters, arguing that other candidates who are also northerners speak English, the lingua franca, and Hausa interchangeably.
“Buhari never speaks English. The whole idea is to present himself as a symbol of the northern and religious struggle. And that is what is dangerous about it,” he said.

homerac7:
In fairness to Beaf, he has never defended d righteousness of PDP. His argument has always been abt individuals and ideologies.

Now, my proposition towards a "final solution" is dt may PDP loose massively in ds election. Ds will force d hawks and opportunists away into other parties, at least for d time being. PDP will b forced to restrategise frm point of disadvantage to act credibly wt d strenght of its brand popularity to regain public trust. It will also giv d oppositions advantage to build up in spreaf and resources to stand formidably in d next major contest. Thus, making it their (ruling opposition) fight to loose based on d new yardstick; performance and credibility. This will set d stage for more responsible, virile and progressive oriented politics of d immediate future.

But still, in my opinion, if PDP looses, it may only come back stronger, better and refined. It may just b d party for d future.

But for now, it is a nest of vipers and every other villains!

proudly9ja:
^^^ So u say the system has a problem?

Challenge now is, how do we solve the problem? PDP has been at the helm of this system for 12 years now. Why don't we try someone else and see if change will come? Why should we knock out CPC and other parties if we have not given them a chance of changing a system even u agree is faulty? How can we expect change if we keep doing the same thing over and over again?

“For 2011, it is all over because we (PDP) will win. In the past, say 1979, Nigerians voted for party. But these days, it is individuals that are being voted and not party. I like (Muhammadu) Buhari but CPC (Congress for Progressive Change) is not in any way different from the PDP. If Buhari leaves the CPC today, the people will follow him.

RIP PDP.

The US govt have been giving subtle anti-PDP statements for the past few weeks now.

I think everyone can see the writing on the wall.

Sorry to all you GEJ supporters. I hope you will come out and support Buhari in april.

londoner:
Jason, thanks for the link, but it doesn't seem to include a breakdown of the works in the oil producing areas under the PTF projects under Buhari.

What I would like to see is the same information provided in the beginning of this thread for the south west and the north, but for other areas. I would like to know the figures under those same projects for the niger delta/oil producing areas.

The restiveness in the Niger Delta region would have been contained a bit if the funds under your supervision as PTF Chairman were used effectively to put in place good infrastructure in the oil producing areas, where you got the money from. Instead, between 80 – 90% of PTF’s activities were concentrated in the North-West sub-region, which is your home area. And in the South-East, the deplorable state of the federal roads there is more than enough proof that the PTF under your watch was more interested in other places. You did nothing there.
