GenBuhari:
Buhari's wife is a Christian, now would a fundamentalist tolerate that?

Buhari has met with pastors and communicated with priests and bishops - that does not look like the action of a fundamentalist.

Perhaps his only mistake was accept an invitation to attend launch of a book on Sharia law. However this does not necessarily mean that he is in favour of implementing Sharia law, he may had seen it as a purely academic exercise, at a time (year 2000) when may not have contemplated ever running for election.

Commmon people let us consider carefully what is Nigeria number on problem - that is right it is corruption.

Now consider which of the presidential aspirants has the best proven track record in stamping out corruption - Buhari

Have you ever wondered why the thieving OBJ and IBB are so keen to block Buhari for entering the seat of power?

Pause and think.

I am igbo, but I am not prepared to think in tribal terms, as tribalism has held us back for decades and we must start thinking
abput the merits of our leaders

when will nigerians come to understand the meaning of sharia?sharia simply means complete code that governs the life of a muslim and no one else.lets at least understand our arguments not just make unwarranted shots.put sentiments tribal n religious and work for nigeria

How do you put aside a presidential aspirants religious bigotry? How?
Next thing, you guys will begin suggesting those who frown on Boko Harams killings are in the wrong. Its called upside down thinking.

The funny thing is that, if it was Helen Ukpabio aspiring to be president, you very same blinded folk would scream no end that she is a religious wacko who is unfit for office.

Rubbish. We will never have an Ayatollah over a secular country.

Lies don't get you anywhere, ask Atiku! He has been seriously punched out, lies and all!

“ But this week, Ribadu denied he ever handled any case against Mrs Jonathan. He said “I never handled any case against Mrs. Patience Jonathan. It was a case involving one lady who was reported by a bank, there was lodgment of about N70 million, and while we were investigating it we discovered that she did a contract in Bayelsa”

Interesting story!

[size=14pt]Oronto's full job title is, Senior Special Assistant on Research, Documentation and Strategy to the President[/size].
Obj weilds a lot of power, but it isn't what people think. The current Obj aura was created by the zoning people to cast GEJ in a negative hue to suit their objective.
If you look to SW PDP politics (esp. Obj's state), you will gain some sort of picture.

. . .And, I no be Oronto, am just an ordinary NLer. Thanks for the flattery!

I've simply typed in all of this, so there might be a couple of syntax errors (I doubt it though). I've given three ways to do it, from the worst to the best. Enjoy.

1. This is a direct C# translation of your java code that will do what you want, but is the wrong way to write it.

using System;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      return d.Day.ToString() + "/" + d.Month.ToString() + "/" + d.Year.ToString() ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDate(date);
   }
}

2. This is a better way (not the best though):

using System;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      return d.ToShortDateString() ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDatete(date);
   }
}

3. If you find yourself getting hammered with the wrong dates, its likely that you are being hit by globalisation / localisation issues; the system running the code is running on could be in a different time zone to what you expect, or it could be in a different locale. This is the proper way to kill that scenario.

using System;
using System.Globalisation;

public class NewClass 
{
   public static String ToDate(Datetime d)
   {
      //convert d to universal time
      d = d.ToUniversalTime();
      // Sets the CurrentCulture British English English.
      Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("en-GB";
      //variable to hold offset from GMT 
      int offsetSpan = -5; //this is for a place that is 5 hours behind GMT
      DateTimeOffset offsetDate = new DateTimeOffset(d, new TimeSpan(offsetSpan, 0, 0));
      //format the string using standard date string formater
      return offsetDate.ToString("d" ;
   }

   public static String ToDate(long d)
   {
      DateTime date = new DateTime(d);
      return NewClass.ToDate(date);
   }
}

Gen Buhari!

Welcome, I have been holding fort for you as the team lead for Buhari Team in another thread. In your absence, we were able to win a soul to our side, Frosbell.

All others remain grounded in their christian and ogun fundamentalism.

@ Sapeleguy,

You just dont understand that without Buhari, Idiagbon was nobody. it takes leadership to allow your deputy to be the face of your government, something obj and yaradua could not accept!

Yes, in the very strictly hierarchical order of the military, it indeed takes a very "special" kind of "leadership" to prostrate to those below your rank.

It is no surprise that at the time of his coup, IBB couldn't be arsed that Buhari was well ensconced in Dodan barracks, airily faffing about. His cold fear lay with Idiagbon, so he patiently waited until the man was out of the country, then simply walked up to the faffing Buhari and told him something like, “dude bleep off!” And Dodan Barracks crumbled.

This is damn hilarious!!!!
. . .Political office by family inheritance! And we have been laughing at the Saraki's owning Kwara. Its a new kinda slavery peeps!

appletango:
it has nothing to do with bigotry or do or die politics or any other paranoid plot that is festering in your simple little mind. it is simply a matter of respecting a party's constitution. a constitution that stipulates zoning. a constitution that put gej in the position he is in today. a constitution that he signed willingly. a constitution which a judge of the high court has recently recognised as containing a zoning agreement.

let me tell you a little something about zoning. who here can name me ONE well known national politician from the south south before the pdp during the previous republics and military regimes? anyone. nope. and yet here we have a man jeopardising any future participation in national politics by minority people because of obj's third term agenda. it's totally selfish and reckless. however, while I agree in principle that politics should always be about the best man for the job, the nigerian electorate unfortunately isn't sophisticated enough to always select the right candidate - as can be seen in the case of GEJ (whom even his biggest admires would admit IS NOT THE BEST NIGERIA CAN OFFER). until nigerian's are able to pick their leaders based on merit and merit alone, zoning is the best system in ensuring that all regions of this country are fairly looked after and represented and the high table in national politics.

Dude, please shut it!

Your zoning was a primitive ploy to milk the nations wealth through the application of ethnic bigotry. It has failed, accept it, wash your face and move on. You must understand that so far, a lot of patience has been extended to you guys out of Jonathans wisdom and cool headed ways; do not mistake that for weakness as you did before, this time it might be very disastrous; 5 months is a shorter period than you understand.
Everybody wants peace, but the wise know that it is dangerous to push quiet people.

As for the SS producing the President, are SS people not Nigerians? Is any Nigerian more Nigerian than others? Are some born slaves, while others are born to rule? I must ask again, who do you really think you are?
For your info, zoning did not produce GEJ, rather agitation against parasites did. Your do or die methods, zoning, ethnic bigotry and ugly politics were all about etnic domination, that is gone.

The same PDP you want to hold at bomb point to accept zoning, voted in an extremely transparent process and resoundingly rejected zoning. So let any man born of woman begin airing his arse about making the nation ungovernable or similar crap and lets see the end result. Dude, look at it this way, people are simply tired of you people.

The International community has long since promised to help with what they termed, "logistics."

The road to irrelevance is bitter. These fools think that the generality of Northerners are as ethnically bigoted and shallow minded like them.
The fool, Atiku is already thinking of impeaching Northern governors (maybe even worse) as part of his demonic plan B.

The nation must protect and support the Northern governors against the attacks of the likes of Atiku.
In fact, isn't it high time the Americans picked him up and locked him away?

[size=14pt]Northern governors are traitors –Kaita, Yakassai[/size]
Font size: Kolade Adeyemi, Kano, Tony Akowe 16/01/2011 01:00:00
Northern governors

In the aftermath of last Thursday’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary that saw the emergence of President Goodluck Jonathan as the party’s candidate for the April general elections, some northern leaders and groups have accused some of the northern governors of betraying the region.

Two northern leaders, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, ex-president Shehu Shagari‘s Adviser on National Assembly Matters and Alhaji Lawan Kaita, former civilian governor of old Kaduna State at the weekend reacted to Jonathan’s victory over former vice president Atiku Abubakar the consensus candidate of the zone.

Also, a group of northern youths under the auspices of the Arewa Citizens Action for Change, Arewa Youth Development Foundation and Arewa Student Forum yesterday vowed to ensure that northern governors who supported Jonathan are voted out of office for what they termed “shameless betrayal” of the north.

In the words of Kaita “These governors, who betrayed their people will be judged by the same people whose interest they have undermined, they will see evil if they do evil.” He added that all efforts would be made to ensure that those of them seeking a second term mandate are not returned.

He commended the governors of Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi and Niger States for delivering their states to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a Northerner, in the primary, saying that the “Traitors will pay dearly for what they have done, for betraying the Northern Region.”

Tanko said the outcome of the primary would have been different and in favour of Atiku “but for the manipulation by some of the governors”

He agued that: “If you take for instance states where governors decided not to interfere, the people showed that they would have voted for Atiku. 800 votes from five states is no mean achievement, If 10 other states were given freedom to vote, according to their conscience, Atiku would have scored 200,000 votes out of 375 ,000.” The second republic politician contended that the outcome of the PDP primary is not a true reflection of the feelings of the Nigerian people, including the delegates.

Speaking on behalf of the three groups at a news conference in Kaduna, the National President of the Arewa Youth Development Foundation, Barrister Abubakar Aminu Kurawa said that governor and their delegates to the primaries in Abuja have endangered the collective pride and future of the people of the region that fed and bred them.

According to them, the governors and their delegates greedily sold their collective and individual conscience for immediate gratification and promises of future political security, adding that “this development is particularly worrisome because most of those governors happen to be direct beneficiaries of the magnanimity of a region they now passionately hate”. They added that the governors of the north who are seeking re-election must “definitely pay for this act of betrayal”.

The groups urged Abubakar to reject the outcome of the primary election and seek legal redress as a way of asserting his democratic rights.

They also said the four PDP presidential aspirants who came together to present a consensus candidate for the primary should ensure that power remained in the north after the general elections in April.

According to the groups, “We are aware that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan and their cohorts have planted their stooge in a named political party with the aim of splitting the reserviour of votes in the north. We shall expose them and their mission agents in due course. While we call on our people to massively reject any presidential candidate with established link with Obasanjo and Jonathan, the plot shall be defeated using available resources at our disposal”.

They accused the Adamu Ciroma-led Consensus Committee that picked Atiku for the primary of failing to put in place an alternative plan, saying “even after the supposed northern candidate has been defeated with the active support of a bankrupt leadership, the Ciroma Committee has no alternative and is obviously helpless.

“As a result, it is our resolve to mobilize the northern youths to rise and take charge of their collective destiny from the hands of these rotten, unfocused leaders. The time has come for the youths to stir the spirit of the great past northern leaders like Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa”.

think of the long game here people. some of you guys are playing chequers while others are playing chess.

i'll give anybody brownie points who can tell me why ibb is being so magnanimous in defeat?? anyone?? i'll give you a clue: a few BIG court cases are coming up.

party unity before the court case, party unity during the court case and party unity after the court case.

What happened to the "BIG court cases" to stop the PDP primaries and Jonathan? Abeg, stop making cheap noise and seek reconciliation, if that is too hard seek the nearest cliff. Do or die ethnically bigoted politics has been resoundingly defeated and the wise are doing the right things.

Are you from a different country from Jonathan, or who do you think you are? It is either you accept the olive branch or be helped in your headlong race to the abbys.

Why Seun no de allow boxing for NL? I wanna deal with mobinga!

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=585949.msg7541509#msg7541509 date=1295143850]^^ Yes you've mentioned it before, they were mostly your thoughts though, I want evidences of GEJ's thoughts on these issues.

Also, You are right, others are yet to articulate their candidate's opinion, thoughts, activities and efforts on these issues.

Can you please try again for the benefit of this "sticky" thread?

As far as i'm concerned it will be "eggs on their faces" if other candidates don't respond. Thousands of Nigerians are ghosting on Nairaland and on this thread. this is 2011, I'm pretty sure some real-life Ribadu and Buhari staffers are reading this too.[/quote]You need to look to the words of Oronto Douglas, Jonathans strategist. He is an intellectual force of a quality and power that can hardly be matched country wide.
I doubt you will find much from the President in this turbulent period, because some who think they are vulnerable unfortunately do not grasp (or are biased) the meaning of true federalism and misconstrue it to be an ethnically driven agende for self determination. Everyone needs to be carried along and none left behind.

In the East, Igbo's have demanded true federalism from GEJ; in the West, the Yoruba have demanded same from GEJ; in October, Middle Belt youth demanded true federalism from GEJ. The calls are bubbling up gradually and will hit natural a crescendo that cannot be ignored in the very near future. Right now, anyone in GEJ's shoes would be cautious because he means well; the long and short is that the core North must be carried along as a core part of the family should such plans reach execution point.

Its my opinion that we will not hear Jonathans direct words until the dust has completly settled on the current turbulence sweeping the nation. Listen to Oronto Douglas, project his ideas on a national scale (if accessing pre-GEJ material) and get a pretty decent preview (reminder, my opinion).

Oronto Douglas listed among world’s most influential thinkers; http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/National/5631799-147/oronto_douglas_listed_among_worlds_most.csp

I have addressed it, even though it was surface stuff. There was no response to what I said and all other campaigners simply ignored the question. I would like to hear Buhari's views on true federalism especially, and how it gels with his sharia outlook.

In Buhari's opinion, what does true federalism mean and since his wish is to see sharia instituted across Nigeria, how does he feel religion fits into true federalism and secularity


My reply to Eziachi and ndu_chucks is here; https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-585949.32.html#msg7535885
However, I actually introduced true federalism, equity and justice to the thread in a couple of posts before my reply to Ezeachi. Sadly, other campaigners (especially Buhari folk), have neatly side-stepped the topic.

The best way to say hi to a rampaging almajiri is with a fire spitting AK.

Onlytruth:
This is what I call master politicking.

Yes, GEJ is a master of long range tactics. Atiku and the bat, Ciroma were hit with a wicked combination they couldn't understand.
Its not all over though, vultures and parasites like Ciroma and his fellow traveller the politics of ethnic bigotry will need to be kept away from the levers of power (for a century if necessary), until the new politics fully beds in.

The article is another stealthy "northernisation" attempt, while impugning Ziks good name. Power is not by force, neither is it a regional right, other sections of the country are as deserving of power; thats the new reality, cos its gonna harden further.

appletango:
PDP is now just a regional party and for that we should all be grateful. thank you jona, you killed the beast that gave you life.

Thats quite funny, cos even Atiku doesn't seem in any hurry to leave. IBB is reaching out to Jonathan to make peace, dude, it would seem you are own your own.
PDP was a party built for corrupt regional domination, but it is now a vast all-inclusive umbrella under GEJ, a party where merit and order prevail. Did you witness the exemplary primaries? Pearless!

Or this one?

Beaf: Interesting debate! The all conquering (albeit mistaken) corruption killer, Ribadu cannot fight corruption in high places!
What then are his credentials for the presidency? His experience is Nil and like Atiku, he will not even carry his own local government in an election. What are the credentials being preached? How can a man who is unknown in is home state be pushed at Nigerians? There's something fundamentally wrong there.

Ribadu, no doubt is a relatively good man as far as the Nigerian political scene is concerned, but his archilles hill is that he has zero experience of life outside a uniform.
He would do well to gain some experience in the diplomacy, patience and wisdom that are required to socialise and sell ideas in a civilian setting.

The man is so unprepared it is shocking anyone would devote a second to his already marooned dreams. Some might consider that statement harsh, but picture the following:

[list]
[li]By some miracle of tectonic proportions, Ribadu wins the election[/li]
[li]The House of Reps is 90% PDP[/li]
[li]The Senate is 90% PDP[/li]
[li]26 governors are PDP[/li]
[li]Ribadu storms in and begins ordering everyone about. . . 2 and a half weeks later, Ribadu is impeached[/li]
[li]Or, Ribadu smells the coffee, and since he cannot investigate corruption in high places, he simply joins in and pops champagne[/li]
[/list]

Reality check. . .

Pointblanknews.com learnt that at his briefing with select media chiefs in Abuja on Thursday, Ribadu said he would not bother himself with the integrity of politicians who elect to sponsor his campaign.

When asked at the Wuse , Abuja briefing to justify his alliance with Tinubu who has been accused by his EFCC of laundering about N20 Billion of state's cash, Ribadu said “ I won't bother myself with the integrity of politicians that will sponsor my campaign as long as they won't keep their stolen money in my pocket”

http://www.modernghana.com/news/296644/1/2011-i-wont-bother-myself-with-the-integrity-of-po.html

Nigeria needs a cool, wise head like Jonathans, not boxer and wrestler types who have not given due consideration to the responsibilities they so casually propose to bear.

Jonathans quiet way is what the anti-corruption battle requires, the recent PDP primaries is an example. Compared to all other parties, it was a showpiece of excellence. We all counted the votes out of the transparent ballot boxes together. Way to go!

Is there anyone inclined to deal with this post I made earlier?

Beaf:
Some really serious question marks hang over Buhari's suitabilty for office of any sort.

There was a raging saga over $2.8billion missing from NNPC's coffers when Shagari's govt came to power. Now, you would agree that $2.8billion is not a sum to be waved away by any measure.

That money was actually traced to his Midland bank fixed deposit account in London by a Senate committee headed by (Olusola saraki) during Shagari's time, that is the real reason Buhari disdainfully smashed that lawfully elected govt and siezed power. As soon as Decree 4 that made reporting any embarrassing news about a serious crime (even if it was the truth) and all hands that could implicate him were sacked or jailed (including Fela and Vera Ifudu - for airing the news on NTA), Buhari stunned the nation by publicly announcing that he was ready to resign. Job done, tracks covered, documents shredded!
Buhari's shock announcement, after just a couple of months in power shook the nation and saw Idiagbon rise and take his place; Buhari became a figurehead with a junior ranking officer in Idiagbon manning all executive powers of state; that is the reason IBB had to wait for Idiagbon to leave the country before striking, Buhari was well and truly in Nigeria and powerless as any figurehead when the IBB palace coup took place.

ALL Buhari's claimed achievement are entirely due to Idiagbon ALONE.

Now, add the above to the mans religious radicalisation after leaving power and you get the picture of an exceedingly dangerous man a bit on the crazed side. In 2001, Buhari declared that sharia should be installed across the whole of Nigeria.
Who wants a wild-eyed president that would neglect the non-Muslim population and spend his time issuing sharia fatuahs? He would even alienate the vast majority of Nigerian Muslims who are moderate.
Anyone that wishes to be president of Nigeria must be religiously moderate and tolerant.

Decree 4 was designed to shield Buhari and his minions from being accountable to the Nigerian people. The intent of the decree was clear -- to silence opinion, speculation and even the truth.

http://www.nigerdeltacongress.com/carticles/confessions_of_a_prosecutor.htm

Every point above is easily verifiable, from court cases to Senate documents and NTA recordings. I expect any reply to be coldly logical and devoid of sentiment.

How can you google a WHOLE SENTENCE AND NOT EXPECT AN ANSWER? Man, you need to tell us what GJ has done for the past 1 year (his test-run) and I would tell you what Ribadu has  and will do! Chikena!!!

Don't you know how to use google?
Google it with the quotation marks. That will ensure you get only results with the exact quotation (or simply use the advanced option). Please go and convince yourself, you might even get to read the whole below par interview it came from and burst into tears.

Once again, I demand an apology on behalf of Ribadu and his fans for labelling him a liar.

jason123:
So because you did a research on an uncredible website, you think you can come here and spew rubbish about me and Ribadu? Ribadu is better than your incompetent guy over and over again. Its just a shame that Nigerians do not know what they want!!!
Btw, even if I was offered money to campaign for GJ, I would not because I love Nigeria and her people and I am not someone that loves the way Nigerians suffer.

You've always been a joker anyway, google the words below and see what you come up with, its that easy:

“I never handled any case against Mrs. Patience Jonathan. It was a case involving one lady who was reported by a bank, there was lodgment of about N70 million, and while we were investigating it we discovered that she did a contract in Bayelsa”

- Nuhu Ribadu

Stop "campaigning," you are way out of your league here and actually harming Ribadu's cause by calling him a liar. In case you don't know, that is not the only occassion Ribadu debunked those strange lies and dirty smears on Jonathan by desperate folk practising yesterday dirty, Atiku style politics. Telling lies gets you nowhere.
Jonathan has ushered in an era of clean politics, lets embrace it.

you don't understand

ACN is not the problem here, it is tinubu that is the problem

he almost impreached fashola because of 11 billion naira that tinubu tax company can not account for

fashola and other ACN members are good

but tinubu is not at all

ACN is Tinubu's personal business. Period.
All Nigerian parties have problems, people point at PDP, but ACN is actually much worse, especially with assassinations and all contracts ending up in Tinubu's pockets.
The ACN presidential primaries were a real disgrace compared to PDP's. The Fashola's of the party need a good plan to eject Tinubu or I see them decamping and ACN dying in the near future.

If not for Fashola, who would know or care about ACN?
It is a simple but, real question.

Bombshell! Act On Patience Jonathan’s Massive-Money-Laundering, Group Asks Jonathan, EFCC


CC: MRS FARIDA WAZIRI, CHAIRMAN EFCC
MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND ATTORNEY-GENERAL
THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSIONER IN NIGERIA
TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL
MALLAM NUHU RIBADU
MR FESTUS KEYAMO
PROFESSOR WOLE SOYINKA & PASTOR BAKARE

DATE: April 28, 2010.

We hereby seek your urgent intervention in matters under investigation and those that we believe EFCC ought to immediately investigate as no man or woman is above the law.

1. In 2006, consequent upon a motion of urgent public importance moved by distinguished Senator Fidelis Okoro, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as Chairman of EFCC was invited to address the Senate on issues of corruption on Wednesday 13th September, 2006. During Mallam Nuhu Ribadu’s address on the floor of the Senate, he stated and we quote “There is also a petition against the Governor’s wife alleging that she was involved in laundering the sum of one hundred and four million into fine-land account. She is also being investigated.”

The wife of the Governor of Bayelsa state in 2006, Mrs. Patience Jonathan was the person Mallam Nuhu Ribadu referred to and this can be confirmed from records of the Senate.

Your Excellency, we are concerned that the same Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who remains a dismissed Nigerian police officer thus ineligible for appointment in Nigerian public service is now being hailed by you is the same person who publicly indicted your wife as stated earlier yet EFCC have not made a public declaration of the outcome of the investigation.

Prince Vincent Ogbulafor is currently being charged for offences allegedly committed in 2001 so the same should apply to your wife or the final report made public by EFCC.

He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.

2. In response to a question during an interview with the Guardian on Sunday, February 24, 2008 as follows; “was it true that you gave Obasanjo N800,million for his campaign?”, General Danjuma replied;

“No I did not give him. I helped finance his first term election. I raised $7 million. Slightly more than half of it came from my pocket. The other half came from my business associates. And this money was passed on to him through (former National Security Adviser, Gen) Aliyu Gusau”.

“Aliyu Gusau came to my house here (in Lagos). Each time I carried thousands, thousands and thousands (of naira) to him in Ghana-must- go”.

The claims of the Chairman of your Presidential Advisory Council (PAC), General Danjuma tha General Aliyu Gusau who is now your National Security Adviser (NSA) collected the naira equivalent of millions of dollars in Ghana-must-go bags at a time the American backed money laundering act was in place must be investigated.

3. In the same interview, General Danjuma said; “It is this same Aremu, who used to harass his perceived enemies and political opponents. He used Ribadu and some of his Ministers to pursue (former Vice President) Atiku (Abubakar). He used Ribadu and (Malam Nasir) el-Rufai and one or two of his ministers to cover his tracks in the PTDF (Petroleum Technology Development Fund).

General Danjuma should be invited to provide information about the PTDF scandal.

4. All the indicted parties in the Okiro report on the Halliburton scandal must be charged to court immediately.

Your Excellency, the world awaits your decisive and courageous actions.

Mallam Umaru Mohammed
Daura, Katsina State.

Are you saying Ribadu is a liar? He says all the above are smear campaigns and rumours by dishonest politicians.
How could you accuse Ribadu of lying and turn around to ask that we vote him in? IBB is a lier, thats why many deslike him, why would you campaign for a liar.

I have demanded earlier in tis thread that you apologise to Ribadu's supporters. I for one do not believe him to be a liar. These are his very own words:

“ But this week, Ribadu denied he ever handled any case against Mrs Jonathan. He said “I never handled any case against Mrs. Patience Jonathan. It was a case involving one lady who was reported by a bank, there was lodgment of about N70 million, and while we were investigating it we discovered that she did a contract in Bayelsa”

Buhari's shock announcement, after just a couple of months in power shook the nation and saw Idiagbon rise and take his place; Buhari became a figurehead with a junior ranking officer in Idiagbon manning all executive powers of state; that is the reason IBB had to wait for Idiagbon to leave the country before striking, Buhari was well and truly in Nigeria and powerless as any figurehead when the IBB palace coup took place.

ALL Buhari's claimed achievement are entirely due to Idiagbon ALONE.

Now, add the above to the mans religious radicalisation after leaving power and you get the picture of an exceedingly dangerous man a bit on the crazed side. In 2001, Buhari declared that sharia should be installed across the whole of Nigeria.
Who wants a wild-eyed president that would neglect the non-Muslim population and spend his time issuing sharia fatuahs? He would even alienate the vast majority of Nigerian Muslims who are moderate.
Anyone that wishes to be president of Nigeria must be religiously moderate and tolerant.

Decree 4 was designed to shield Buhari and his minions from being accountable to the Nigerian people. The intent of the decree was clear -- to silence opinion, speculation and even the truth.

Every point above is easily verifiable, from court cases to Senate documents and NTA recordings. I expect any reply to be coldly logical and devoid of sentiment.

Now I know how daft you are. So Nigerian can still be a terrorist state, with all the complexities. i doubt if you are a Nigerian.

Why dont you defend your man misdeeds as clearly stated. I have said Buhari made some mistakes and is wiser now, i have challenged and even won someone on this thread to our side, that he is not a fundamentalist. can you just defend GEJ and let us see who you can convert to your side? You have really gone paranoid with your religious beliefs!

He just didn't make mistakes, he stole money and was caught, he launched a coup against those who caught him. The proof is there, I have given it.
Buhari is not only a THIEF, but a red eyed fanatic as well.

And please stop ascribing religion to me, because I follow none. It is a shallow minded thing to do, but we have come to expect that from wrestlers, Boko Harams and the types that are excited by the prospect of sharia being imposed all over Nigeria.

@beaf

why you dey rant? Just prove that your guy has balls to fight corruption. we that are supporting Ribadu and Buhari obviously are not sponsored because people who are not in power do not attract support.

this is where you got it wrong. when did you start noticing Jonathan? deputy gov, gov, vee pee. Jonathan became popular when he became president and that goes for ibb, obj, ibb, abacha -2million man match!

People who support inept human beings in power are always suspected to be state-sponsored, and I suspect you.

Like I said, this mindless trash talking politics is for yesterday, the day of coup plotters and law breakers like Buhari. It is a new time, but you might not understand that, hence your striving to reduce this debate to mudslinging. Come up with some substance man! You should be the next to be warned by Jarus after Gbawe.
