PoliticsRe: Did Anybody Listen To Buhari On Radio Nigeria's Programme (eagle Square)! by Bensonite: 4:46pm On Apr 06, 2011
umar2:
Fellow Nigerians, please let’s all learn to speak and accept the truth, its does not matter if the Presidential Candidate is a Muslim, Christian, from the North, West, East and South. What matters is who would take us to the promise land. I don’t care if the Presidential candidate last forever, what matters to me is my future and the future of my beloved family. "Haba" is high time we put a stop to this Twin Disasters amongst us Today “Corruption and Politics”. Let’s look back 12yrs ago and compare it with what we have today. $16Billion on Power 2.4Trillion Naira, and nobody is saying anything, Abj/Okene, Abj/Abaji , Abj/Lokoja and many more, even the Abuja Road itself continues re-awarding of contracts, Look at the Poor State of our Institutions today, Industries, don’t forget over 100billion was injected and noting to write home, our road have become death traps, Our Foreign reserve keeps drying by the day, 25%of our hard earn budgets goes to our Sleeping Parliament Members, House of Rep and Senates, and even Ministers, with Bogus Allowances that keeps increasing by the day, Telecom Exploitations, Transcop, NITEL,MTEL, and continues award of contract to rehabilitate the Transportation Sector, Water, Air, Rail and Road in Nigeria. GEJ Achievements again in 9months, Depleting of our foreign reserve, from $40billion to almost Zero, and noting to show for it, Endless Jos Crises, Boko Haram killings, 100million on PDP Daily campaign spendings, JTF Niger Delta crises, Bayelsa Bombings, Portharcourt Stampede, Oct1 Bombings, Extravagant 50years Celebration over 10billion, Minna Bombing, Abj Barack Explosion, etc to many to list. What an achievement. BB might not be a Saint, because no one is perfect. His is the only person i see that have the heart for the less privileged Nigerians. Vote BB2011. He might be an illiterate, i care less, all we need now is the person that has the fear of God, transparency, accountability and perseverance. Lets vote a Leader not and a Ruler. I am from Kogi State, Ebira to be precise, don’t mistake my identity. VOTE BB2011.
I am sure you must be sick making this erroneous post appear twice.

PoliticsRe: Why You'll Never Vote For Muhammadu Buhari? by Bensonite: 10:13pm On Apr 05, 2011
In as much as I do not support any party but personality on merit, it is worthy to state that Buhari CPC is no different from PDP/ACN. All those who rigged elections and perpetrated violence to make PDP/ANPP win have suddenly find a safe heaven in CPC after been expelled from their respective parties for one fraud/confusion. This does not make any party the best especially the leading ones.
Weigh all the odds of GEJ and Buhari you will find certainly that the former by far is a better choice at this time for Nigeria.
PoliticsRe: Why You'll Never Vote For Muhammadu Buhari? by Bensonite: 4:45pm On Apr 05, 2011
I am surprise one of the pro Buharist is saying he knows this is democracy and that he would do things differently. Is it possible to learn to be left handed at old age(69+) or can a leopard change her skins? This man destroyed Nigeria nascent democracy and should have been charged for treason but now comes to claim to be  democratic without apology for all the atrocities. If his intention for the coup were geniune why didn't he handover to civilians after one year. Babangida came and wanted to remain forever(which is what Buhari would have done also) but Nigerians fought till we got back this democracy and he wants to be a beneficiary by contesting for the presidency.
A man who failed woefully at the unpopular NN24 debate- not in consonance to modern realities. In his manifesto probably written by Bakere on the issue of power- claimed he can generate 16,000MW in four years. If only he understands the engineering complexities involve in achieving 1000MW and the timeline in completing same he would not make much nonsense promise. The roadmap to Power as it is currently been implemented will get us to the promiseland of steady power not just saying something without a clue what it entails.

minds are already made up. The masses are nt even using d performance in d debate as a yardstick 4 who 2 vote for.
The other parties did the right thing becos with or without d debate, pro gej wont be convinced that the president did any wrong, It is now the opposition who are d wrongdoers.
You are on your own. The mind made up is negative for the opposition in the presidential election.
jfking2005:
This is bullshit.
All these is no longer necessary.
go and vote and make your vote count.

Moving forward does not mean forgetting grievious mistakes and pride shown by the opposition. The old woman and man in the village watched the TV and accepts GEJ

omo9ja1:
I totally disagree with this, I think the three parties are saying something to us, that If we all agree on something we should all stand and say NO

But rather acting like a coward they stood their ground, The President should be ashame of this situation but only few people can read meaning into the action of the debate

Mr president ignore the most wanted debate and thinks they can get away with that NO way, ACN,ANPP and CPC kudos to your action.

stale news. stone cold dead issue. go and vote your gej and your pdp. we moved on weeks ago.

PoliticsRe: Why Do You Support Goodluck Jonathan For President? by Bensonite: 2:07pm On Apr 04, 2011
It will be incomplete if I do not make a comment on this thread on the virtues of GEJ.
I simply want to adopt all the good reasons given by all good thinking people in this thread on GEJ. However he is human and needs to learn from some of the critics of the oppositions. What is important is Nigeria moving forward and better stories in years to come.
I also want to thank pro GEJ supporters for maturity in analysing issues not serious damaging sentiments as seen in anti-GEJ crusaders.
PoliticsRe: The Curious Incident Of Mohammed Abacha: The Limits Of Mythomania. by Bensonite: 1:35pm On Apr 03, 2011
The truth is that most contributors in this thread who are pro Buhari were either little children during Buhari military dictatorship or were not born then to know the antecedence of the man that they portray to be holier-than -thou.
A man who truncated democracy and later came to serve under the notorious Abacha military junta. A man who admitted corrupt Abacha's son into his party CPC because he had earlier claimed Sani Abacha was not corrupt. A man who campaigns only in the core north can not lead a national governement of unity. A jihadist and Islamic fundamentalist who attempted to register Nigeria as an Islamic nation.
PoliticsRe: Report Here On National Assembly Elections: 2nd April, 2011 by Bensonite: 1:03pm On Apr 02, 2011
Now that the elections have been postponed PHCN should give us light and takoff the one supplied to INEC. Yesterday the PHCN manager instructed nationwide load shedding should affect where INEC is located.

I am surpised at 11:30am no inec or voters in my polling unit here in Port Harcourt city. I am wondering what happens to the riverine communities. Its is a pity!
PoliticsRe: Report Here On National Assembly Elections: 2nd April, 2011 by Bensonite: 4:35pm On Apr 01, 2011
Lets watch out! If INEC and indeed Nigerians gets it right tomorrow then we are moving towards greatness. The  presidents and governorship campaigns makes the NASS aspirants not to be popular. Contrary to what people think in the SS most senators and rep may not return as they have nothing to show for their past legislative years.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Shuts Borders As Polls Begin Tomorrow by Bensonite: 4:20pm On Apr 01, 2011
It is a pity that most people will not vote if truly vehicular movement is restricted. In most part of the country some leaders encouraged their kins men to register in their village to increase their voting strenght and also as if it was a census affair for future  governrment considerations. But quite unfortunate majority will not vote as result of restricted movement. What is important in the face of these votes should count!
PoliticsRe: Utomi Quits Presidential Race, Endorses Shekarau by Bensonite: 4:50pm On Mar 31, 2011
ziccoit:
There is a program going on on NTA now-"GOODLUCK & SAMBO YOUTH RALLY" where a silly goat called himself the president of Nigerian students canvassing votes for GEJ. The way he was praising the ruling party and GEJ made me sad and I am gripped with fears.

Sadness and fears at the future of this country. Where are the so much talked about spirits of Nigerian students? Where are those voracious agility and prowess towards enthronement of truths that NANS were known for? PDP/GEJ has bought this silly goat of NANS president and he claimed to be representing the views of Nigerian students .

If PDP should win, come April 9th, Nigeria is in for big trouble.
ZICCOIT: You are on your own. Join the winning team, GEJ. The spirit of Nigerian students does not mean when you see good thing you should not embrace it.
You call names to leaders are you sure you will one day become a leader. This is not a curse but food for thought.
PoliticsRe: Official Thread Of The Bon Nedg Presidential Debate by Bensonite: 12:13pm On Mar 31, 2011
Amen! GEJ thank you for your excellent road map to making this country great and truly united again. Your haters like they did during PDP primary with Atiku are at it again but at the end we will laugh them.
I am happy during the debate you touched on all the myriads of problems confronting us as a nation and the good in all there is solution in the offering.
PoliticsRe: General Buhari Is A Disappointment To Me. He Is Unfit To Be President. by Bensonite: 11:22am On Mar 30, 2011
Where are the Buhari supporters? He is certainly losing as 25% of votes in 24 states win will certainly be impossible for him. We can not trust our future on a dictator that incites violence. In all honesty GEJ made it bold and clear that his electoral victory do not deserve a person to be killed whereas Buhari says the opposite.
PoliticsRe: The BON Presidential Debate Of March 29th: Dara vs Ndok vs Utomi by Bensonite: 4:42pm On Mar 29, 2011
swiftycool:
i can imagimne the pdp puppet GEJ jacking books heavily since last night despite the expo he must have been given ahead of time by BON, yet he would still 4UK up & be as dumb & boring as an old overused toothbrush. imagine the statement refrained; that they sat down and assessed the organisers to see if they r deemd fit. . . who assessed? the puppet masters abi, just shows we'll still be voting for same greedy selfish cartel using a humble mumu as their smoke screen. Note GEJ has no power or mind of his own
Certainly by the above assertion you are demonstrating your own laziness in understanding THINGS. GEJ does not need such cramming, He is the president already and knows his onions very well. I am sure you did not go about speaking on his behalf during the campaign tour neither did you write his PHD thesis for him.
PoliticsRe: The BON Presidential Debate Of March 29th: Dara vs Ndok vs Utomi by Bensonite: 3:08pm On Mar 29, 2011
If President Goodluck made a grievous blunder by not attending the debate organised by NN24, would the same aspirants singing the songs of change do same. For once can't they prove to Nigerians they are different by not doing what they claim GEJ did?. Simply put pride and fear engulfs them all. After exposing their inexperience in governance in last week's debate certainly they opted out with excuses. The BON debate has a national coverage and should have given them opportunity to show what they have. Fashola showed his expertise yesterday and is already getting the credit.
PoliticsRe: 10 Things To Learn From Japan by Bensonite: 1:46pm On Mar 29, 2011

With good leaders that can bring back discipline and parents doing there proper training the next generations of Nigerians can be better.
PoliticsRe: April Polls: First Lady Gives Fund To Female Candidates by Bensonite: 1:39pm On Mar 25, 2011
No one has been awarded for making the most post on NL so missing me or not is nothing to worry. My advice is make use of your thinking cap not just putting up stories because you want to contribute on a thread on a NL.
PoliticsRe: April Polls: First Lady Gives Fund To Female Candidates by Bensonite: 1:22pm On Mar 25, 2011
Gossip!gossip!!gossip! is that all we find in NL? The first lady openly invited all female aspirants of all political party for a dinner in affirmation to her pet project women for change initiative and someone hurried down here and say she gave them money at the end of the programme. Fellow gossips start assumming N500,000 each you could have as well assume N5 million each. This is certainly one of the things that makes sound minds to stop contributing in NL.
PoliticsRe: We Do Not Endorse Jonathan – Okada Owners by Bensonite: 10:44am On Mar 25, 2011
Every misnomer in Nigeria is blamed on GEJ. The other day okada association willingly had a session with the president to discuss the problems facing them and solicited for federal government support as most states are trying to face them out. Another group claims they are not the real leaders here on NL without any evidence to show and Mr. President should be crucified because of one simple rumour. Poor you haters of GEJ. Like one contributor mentioned, we will see what you will write after 29th May, 2011 when GEJ has been sworn in.
