That Buhari and Bakare are responsible for post-election violence is a fact established beyond the status of a mere allegation. A warrant for this claim lies in the Gombe and Nasarawa pre-election arson and stoning by their supporters, which the General publicly apologised over. Really, such pre-poll hate evangelism by the duo would lead to nothing but violence. To be sure, Pastor Bakare was in Maiduguri where he publicly proclaimed, 'PDP is Haram' as if to provoke the same negative reactions as in 'Boko Haram' slogan. And, to restore peace nd salvage whatever is left of their image, the duo must resort to statemanship -paying a congratulatory visit to the President, dine and wine with him in a globally televised event. Doing so without wasting time will surely bring an immediate end to the senseless carnage. No amount of rebuttal can obliterate their connection to the whole saga.

Once upon a time there were three business partners whose names are Ayodele, Musa, and Okechukwu. They opened a joint business bank account and the arrangement was that all the income from their business activities would be paid into the account. Every four years they hold a general meeting with their shareholders to decide who should be the CEO. However after a few years it was noticed that the contribution from Ayodele and Okechukwu to the business profits was rising while that of Musa was decreasing. At the last meeting which was held on 16 April 2011, Musa said that it was his turn to become the CEO but when it was put to him that his contribution to the fortunes of the business was way below that of his two business partners, he came up with the ingenious argument that what really mattered was that they had an ongoing business together and their individual contributions were immaterial. He also said that if Ayodele and Okechukwu continue to insist that he cannot be the CEO, he would disrupt the operations of the business, burn down the Head Office and kill Ayodele and Okechukwu's children. Ayodele and Okechukwu have now come to you for advice. What would your advice to them be?

(The names in the scenario above are entirely fictional and any resemblance to any persons living or dead, or any recent events particularly in the West African region is coincidental)
Good piece I must tell you. On my opinion, Ayodele and Okechukwu would need to end whatever agreement they had earlier and start theirs separately since Musa has chosen to be lazy. You can not reap where you do not sow. Shekena!

Our President has won himself another 4 years in office and inasmuch as I am unhappy about this I want to appeal to our brothers in the North to put an end to the senseless killings and destruction of private properties going on there.

Jonathan has not won fairly in my opinion. The figures from the south south, south east are so ridiculous! Some of these states had Jonathan getting over 90% of votes cast! I am highly disappointed at reasons why some pple voted Jonathan. Most of the voters I spoke to voted based on ethnic lines. I remember my uncle telling me that I should vote for Jonathan because if he doesnt get the presidency than it will take us another 25 years to get there!

Personally I have nothing against Jonathan as a person, I just think he
Getting 4 years is a very big mistake as he is not only clueless on what to do to make Nigeria work but he lacks the political will to make the necessary changes we need to see. I hope I am wrong though.

I can very well predict our next minister of Health in the person of Iyabo Obasanjo. Maybe Alams and Ibori will also be in the list too. Its also possible for him to bring in Thieves like Tafa Balogun to head the Police ministry. Time will tell
You know what go and kiss electric and kill urself. I am sure you never read your post as you were self contracdictory. Once again you can go and die if you choose to.

md4real:
For corp members in the north, the tides have changed and i suggest you be extral careful and if possible, boycott the remaining elections. be safe!

COMPAQ:
I have heard 2 confirmed cases of ballot stuffing and thumb printing of empty ballot papers in Rivers and Bayelsa. The results were obviously rigged in the SE and SS. The percenages of registered voters that "voted" were too high relative to the rest of the country (have the SE and SS suddenly become so much more politically aware than everyone else?). And of those who voted, the % for PDP was also too high relative to the opposition. As a Professor of Political Science said on NTA yesterday, in the best of cases, a popular candidate will get maybe 60%-70%, but certainly not 95%-97% as we had in SS and SE.

I am sure most of us have seen the video of a woman thumbprinting empty ballot papers in River state. That is additional proof of what went on the the SE and SS.

prince paris:
PDP have decieved us again o. HOW CAN I.8M VOTES COME OUT OF RIVER STATE FOR PDP. I SERIOUSLY SUSPECTS ALL THE RESULT FROM THE EAST AND SOUTH-SOUTH. Anyway temporary congratulation to GEJ. I dey laugh o.

ahidjo:
[size=15pt]The usual Nigerian rambling, making no sense. Farud is fraud, whether by Jonathan or Buhari. We need to sanitize Nigeria, a country riddled with fraud of unimaginable proportion. People of your ilk see no problem with fraud and corruption-the biggest problem Nigeria has today. I believe you are a Christian (fake, I assume), the wages of sin (fraud) is death whether you like it or not. Incidentally, the last time Nigeria made any genuine attempt to fight corruption was under Buhari-that indeed makes him a saint at least by Nigeria's pathetic standards [/size]

ahidjo:
[size=20pt]General Buhari should raise money and assemble the best forensic experts in the world to challenge the despicable results being churned out from South east and south South. We can not continue to have losers as winners of elections in Nigeria. We can not continue to allow fraud to thrive in Nigeria. Where other states are 50% voters, SS and SE are having 80%, 90% and 100%. Let the riggers of this election as well as their families, supporters be cursed forever and may God never answer their prayers.[/size]

jmaine:
Spreading like wiild fire indeed  . . . How ? . .a few inflated result and when met with equal measure in the SS . . .they were called jokers . . . it's surprising that people are not noticing that people will gladly post where their candidate did very well  in ectasy, what about those places where their candidate lost  . .all we are seeing are fabrications of alarming results from unconfirmed sources and people are already excited reminiscent of what preceded the NASS original results . . .Bauchi ,i Know has a sizeable number of Christians folks . .now who has announced the results of that region . . .what about Kaduna South . . .am yet to also see Jigawa, Yobe, and Taraba all from the north ,  . .my instincts tells me the PDP will hold their own very well in the north when the real results starts reeling . . .please don't get disappointed and accrue it to rigging cos last i heard the new rigging formulae which is very effective and legal is Underage voting . .  .

Hamid O:
Election day! make una see prayer points o! If you can say Amen to any of these prayers please go to the polls and vote for PDP:
1. May your lives and businesses be run exactly the same way the PDP has been running Nigeria for the past 12 years.
2. May your life be as bright as PDP has lit Nigeria with electricity.
3. May your journey in life be as smooth as the interstate roads in Nigeria.
4. May your home be as organised and as beautiful as Murtala Mohammed Airport.
5. May your life savings be managed as PDP has managed Nigeria's foreign reserve.
6. May your family experience the peace and love that the people of Jos have experienced in 4 years.
7. May your children's education and working career reflect the standard of education in Nigeria.
If you were able to say Amen to just one please feel free to vote PDP on Saturday. If not, then you have the power to give CPC/ACN a chance to correct all these defects of PDP.
Let us vote wisely. Its not only about a personality. Let us think and ask ourselves this question: "is it proper that the party that brought us to this mess be the same party to lead us into the future?" Think Nigerians, think.

Kobojunkie:
I know he was in Portharcourt -- where in the south are you saying he refused to show up?

I could not say what people down there feel . . .  I am simply irritated by people pretending his campaign was simply a northern one when there are records of the train showing up in some major southern cities. Comparing it to the Jonathan campaign, which almost seems to have trillions of naira at it's disposal ( with the free money packages, the products, songs, celebrity clout) will be unfair considering many of the Buhari campaigners had to dig into their pockets to fund their part in the whole.

Kobojunkie:
Buhari never made himself a candidate for just the core North. He made an apperance in at least each state(his campaign was allowed to) both up north and down south -- Not certain why you feel he made more in the north than down in the south. Also in a civilized country, candidates base their campaign on their budget. I believe the reason why the Buhari campaign took off only a couple of months to election was because of limited funds. And also, in a civilized country, there are NO RULES barring candidates from campaigning two months to election. So, stop pretending your view is law!

Buhari is not the only candidate on the ballot  . . . so the reasoning you give above is in layman's terms BULL. There are other candidates on that ballot and if Buhari does not meet the need, individuals have other candidates but Jonathan to consider.

agabaI23:
And my advice is please, read the whole write up carefully. It is an interesting read so that you will stop using the name of this man inappropriately.



SANUSI does not support Buhari for presidency for many reasons amongst which are

1. He cannot operate in a democratic environment
2. he should be a statesman
3. he should be training other Buhari's
4. he does not believe in recycling
5. he will be frustrated

Nicklee:
Liar. Buhari did not campaign mainly in the North. He campaigned all over. He attracted more crowds in the north, if that is what you planned to say. Ofcourse he didn't have governors in the SE and SS states that were there to do the ground work for him. SO between Buhari and GEJ, Buhari has worked much harder in these elections.

Please let's get back to election results. I will appreciate if you don't 'reply' my post. Let's not derail this, Ejor, Biko, (not sure how to say this in hausa). Election results are more important at this time than the bickering and name calling.

Sorry for calling you a liar by the way.

9ijaMan:
PDP became a regional party the day GEJ started campaigning along ethnic lines.

Kenyy:
My friend, please be informed that the only 'thing' that compelled majority of the corps members to join INEC in conducting the April election is POVERTY(actual and potential)- #30,000 for 3days as against less than #10,000 they receive for one month. If I was a corps member, I do not think I would prefer #30,000 for 3days to less than #10,000 for one month. Lest I forgot, I challenge any corps member currently participating in conducting the ongoing polls to come out and say he/she was forced to do so.

Kenyy:
My good brother, for your information, they are people here on the payroll of PDP & Co, so ", all this struggles and brainstorming going on here in nairaland" is not in vain!

Donlittle:
you can only say that if your confident, u cant say that if you did because u will be exposed. it just that ppl, enemies like this wnt believe

strangest:
IF BUHARI CAN SAY THAT ABACHA DID NOT LOOT NIGERIAN'S WEALTH EVEN AFTER FUNDS WERE RECOVERED FROM THE ABACHA FAMILY, IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE IF HE SAYS THAT HE HAS NOT STOLEN, [size=8pt]LIAR[/size]

1025:
i still find it difficult that a normal nigerian wants pdp to continue after been in this same ship for 12 yrs. where are we going to? what kind of magic is jonathan going to make in 4 yrs if his party cld not do anything in 12 yrs?
if jonathan agrees that nigeria is not doing well, who has he punished for that or cld it be that spirits instead of human beings are responsible?
let us face the real situation here. nigerians and nigeria need and deserve change and pdp has proved they have nothing to offer after 12 uninterupted yrs.

luluosas:
In PDP defense for their popularity, they always say they moved across all nook and crannies of Nigeria therefore, they are sure of winning. Why should they now embark on house to house bribery in the name campaign? Nigerians have taken a decision and CHANGE is the WORD.

alisigwe:
If all these allegations against buhari are true then i understand why wole soyinka despise him so much.why should i vote 4 someone so heartless?
