The best money for campaign any other candidate can spend will be to put up a giant bill board sign, publicly challenging our genius president to participate in a presidential debate.

Put out1,000,000 tshirts stating that president Goodluck Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe is hidding from a presidential public debate.

I can assure Nigerians 1000 percent that Goodluck Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe debating on the national TV will be the end of PDP, Trust me!

I predict that we will start seeing Tshirts inviting our president to rub shoulder with other candidates.

As soon as we grow individually, put aside sentiment and focus on real issues, Nigeria as a country will grow higher than the sky.

It isn't about Big B1 or anyone else, it is about coming together as one to rescue our very wealthy country for the sake of tomorrow (the future of our children).

Whether PDP wins or AC N or CPC or the Military takes over, Big B1 will be fine in the name of almighty God.

Let us all wake up, smell the coffee and elect the right leader, and not a dumb dumb.

If Goodluck Jonathan can just come out like a democratic president and accept to debate with other presidential candidates, 2011 presidential election will be a better election.

I can assure Nigerians that this debate will wake us up and the right candidate for the job will be quickly identified.

Jonathan Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe I, Big B1 challenge you to kindly join other candidates and present your leadership skill, what you have to offer Nigerians and your implementation/execution strategies to move this country straight forward.


My prediction: Jonathan Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe will fail enormously. Absolutely zero content, zero knowledge, zero wisdom and finally -zero charisma.

Nigerians, my brothers and my sisters please let us all joing hand and persuade our president to quit running around the country attempting to fake funk and come out to show us what he has to offer Nigeria.

Violent, I'm not Mr. Randle's supporter. My focus is only on comporting yourself as a governor correctly and addressing issues without displaying an area boy behavior.

I do not expect Fashola to meet with everybody. But if you listen very carefully to Randle's statement, a real politician would have identified this statement as a trap and would have immediately taken advantage of the statement by addressing it with style and class.

FYI: Fashola is currently trying to reach out to Mr.Randle to apologize.
Obviously he has realized that he did not handle the situation correctly. And I can not blame you folks for not getting it, I guess one has to be there to understand what Fashola has done incorrectly.

Style, class, respect, integrity, and common sense; all were missing during the debate.

Sagamite, if you want us to discuss what went down during the debate you need to first simmer yourself down.

I do not need any video link, I witnessed the debate and also saw what happened after the debate.

Randle's point was Lagosians should be able to reach their governor, either 1 on 1 or via text or via email or via an associate of the governor.
I think his point is very relevant and an incredible point for the debate.

And finally, don't be lazy, get to know more about the root of Lagos and the great people of Lagos State.

FYI: I do not think Mr.Randle feels governorship position is his birth right; I think this is why he's contesting for the position just like any other citizen.

My man do your assignment and stop capitalizing on things you clearly do not know.

I guess, we can not blame Tinubu for picking his wife, who happens not to be from Lagos to contest for Lagos state senatorial position. Are you telling me that nobody else among the real Lagosians is capable of effectively representing Lagos state in Abuja?

Let us all wake up and accept spade for spade and not for snake.

I witnessed the debate and saw what happened.
As much as I honestly admire Fashola, my conclusion after I saw what went down during the debate is: Fashola is another uncivilized stu pid @@s. His comment was completely uncalled for. In fact, any smart politician would have taken advantage of Mr.Randle's statement. Of course, the F00lish, but polished area boy (Fashola) lost his cool and systematically called Mr.Randle a criminal. (Pls folks,take a time out and get to know this quiet, well established and the root of lagos called the Randle's family). They are not thieves like other leaders in the country.

The drama started when Randle stated that he has been trying to reach Fashola to connect the wife (90yrs old) the first mayor of Lagos state to him for the past few months; in fact, the poor old woman has already tried for over a year to reach this same Fashola. He (randle) concluded that if folks like himself and the wife of the first mayor of Lagos state can not reach Gov Fashola, what hope do common Lagosians have?

Looking at the age of the Old lady' age of Mr.Randle and the positions of both parties, all Fashola should have said was: I did not know that you have been trying to reach me; I'm sorry. As we all know, it is election time and the end of my 1st term. I have been extremely busy lately, but I will make it my personal business to reach out to Chief Mrs XYZ (the wife of the first mayor of Lagos state). I'm very sorry.

But the area boy came out swinging like he lost his mind.

I wasn't impressed by his action at all. I hope he recognizes his mistake and fix it right away.

Uncle Jonathan's statement says a lot about what many of you do not know about IBB.
IBB represents absolute one of a kind and still the smartest, most charismatic, caring president Nigeria will ever see for many years to come.

Uncle Jonathan isn't crazy, the dude is only saying nothing but the truth.

FYI: Even with Jonathan living in Aso Rock, IBB may still end up running things from Minna for the next 4 years.
Uncle Jonathan will confirm this fact @ anytime and any day.
His ideas, strategy and vision can not be matched.

Testimony By a Nigerian on Why They Didn't vote Buhari before
.In 2011, GMB is not alone. He's supported by a team of volunteers online and offline who never voted for him before. We didn't vote for him, because we didn't know. We didn't know that he supervised and birthed our only existing refineries. We didn't know that what he did in road construction while in the PTF hasn't been matched by 12yrs of the PDP, even though some claimed they were lopsided. We didn't know that in his time as head of state he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military). We didn't know that there was no religious crisis while he led.
We didn't know that JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while GMB merely gave his own, long-term jail sentences. We didn't know that the hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time. We did not know, that this man despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders. We never voted him, because we did not know.
But now we know, We know that he has followership in the north that money can't buy. We know that those who follow him are poor, and follow him out of hope and belief in his values. I have met old men who know him, who have said, "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank". Now we know that here is someone that has been in everything to make him an IBB or Danjuma, but didn't take that road.
We feared he was an Islamic fundamentalist, but he challenged us to provide any human being who can point at anything he did to show that. Now we know, that it's about the values, The only former head of state that does not own a house in Abuja, Shine your eyes o!, This is my take, What is yours?

To be successful in a TV debate it requires 3 factors:
1. You must be charismatic
2. You must completely understand your subjects.
3.And finally, you must be able to communicate your subject clearly, effectively and efficiently.

The truth is, Uncle Jonathan lacks all 3 factors.
If Nigeria was a great country, uncle Jonathan would be an incredible primary school headmaster, and nothing else.

@topic: Yes GEJ is pretty much afraid of TV debate. And he'll do all needs to be done to continue to avoid it.

Another silly move by our one and only Badluck of Nigeria.

One of the most important roles of a real leader is making effective and efficient decision @ the right time.
Even a day old baby knows that Ojukwu who happens to be very sick needs his wife, Bianca next to him more than anything at this time.

If Badluck was sincere and wants the best for our country, the smartest thing he could have done was to have a meeting with Bianca, discover her qualifications, identify a perfect position and finally assure her a position as soon as her husband returns home from the hospital.

Making this ridiculous move at this time only shows that Mr. President is a desperate follower, who can not sing and think profoundly simultaneously.

Let us vote for a real leader, a leader that will truly fight vigorously for us and our country.
Buhari for President.

Without any doubt, Jakumo is a good friend, and an incredible writer, but also a m0r0n, who enjoys playing with himself while posting comments on Nairaland.

Without any question, IBB would have been a perfect fit for the position.
But God's plan is different.

At this point, whoever comes up with the victory should be embraced

Pure Leadership.

It isn't about IBB or the almighty Big B1, it's all about Nigeria and all Nigerians. We've got to try another direction. Too many kids are suffering, it is our responsibility to get it right this time around.

Trust me. Buhari or Ribadu, anything else will be a complete fraud and waste of money.

Yes, it's me, Big B1.
I was @ Onikan earlier today with a friend to make fun of AC N party, but when I got there something magnificent occurred, which gave me no other choice but to join hands with my brothers and sisters to build a better nation.

Now is the right time, let us all come together as one to rescue this country and build a better future.

Nigeria is a great country that is blessed with more than enough.
If we love this country and we truly want to move forward to greatness, one of these candidates must be elected.

Please vote Buhari or Ribadu for president.

May God bless Nigeria.

We have ordinary leaders, we have fake leaders, but the natural born leaders always come at the top.
If our kid is a fine boy, we might as well reveal his blessing to the world.

Without any question, a lion must give birth to a lion.

My only problem here is the "PICK and CHOOSE" style of AC N, it is completely undemocratic.
Who the he11 is Ashiwaju to be picking leaders to lead us? AC N should allow Nigerians to mold their own future by electing the leaders of their choice.
Furthermore, the last time I checked, Remi Tinubu is from somewhere in Ogun State; if Lagosians allow someone from Ogun State to represent them in Abuja, it means Lagosians are nothing but bunch of Bastards.
They must come together to claim their fathers' land.

Ashiwaju is ok and he has done a lot for Lagos state, but we must keep it in mind that he has also stolen a bit from the state. This dude is now pushing his luck by picking his wife to represent the great people of Lagos , I think he will be surprised this time around.

ENOUGH IS JUST ENOUGH. STOP CHOKING US WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS, ALLOW THE GREAT PEOPLE OF LAGOS STATE TO ELECT THEIR LEADERS.

@Tolu001:
it will be foolish to blame or entertain you.

I completely stand by my words.
"Taking advantage of  a smart and powerful king that wants to redeem himself is priceless"
I still believe that IBB would have been a better choice to get things back in order. But now that he has decided to move on, we must also move forward.

We must also keep in mind that it should be all about Nigeria and not about who shares the same village with our parents.

FYI Tolu: I'm better off if PDP wins regardless of who is elected.
So, stop making noise and let us all come together and rescue this great country.
Ode!

Even if you UPN or NPN or CAN or XYZ and you steal, you will pay.

Let's elect a leader that will work for us and our country

Buhari 2011.


FYI: Tinubu is a thief and part of what is wrong with this country today.

And have you noticed that with all the noise made by EFCC many months ago Kalu is still a free man.

Buhari will not hesitate to even jail the EFCC officials if they are caught stealing or not doing their job accordingly.

This is a typical example of what they do: "the thieves point fingers at one another"
Tinubu or Segun Oni or Akala or anybody else is nothing but a common thief.

And the only person that will clean this house without any hesitation and less complications is Buhari.

If you guys don't vote for this man, it means we deserve the way our country has been treated for the past 30 yrs.

Buhari will not discriminate. It wouldn't matter if you're CAN or PDP, if you steal you'll simply pay.

Buhari 2011.

Bravo @ Ymodulus.

The combination of Illiteracy and uncivilization is a deadly disease.

The last time I checked, the rule is still "you see or you hear you tell"

It seems to be that folks over here are waiting for the entire town to go down before they can believe what is going on.

It is always smart to react first and then find out if the message is true or not.
When you see or hear

Oga, do me a favor: ignore the message and pls move on.

I just got the message. Just let your folks know and worry about whether the message is real or not later.

Just got the message:


(Bomb scare in shoprite-police in the area. Have detected a bomb in a truck in shoprite please stay clear and pass along, u don't know who might need this).

10 to 12 months is more than enough for GEJ to show Nigerians what he's capable of doing and he has failed enormously. My friends, leadership is not for everybody and just because you can not lead doesn't make you a fool.
Jonathan can not and will not even be able to lead a pack of chicklets if he's given the chance.

And whether we like it or not Jonathan is completely affiliated to OBJ; there is nothing Jonathan can give that OBJ hasn't already fed us.
If wasting our time is what we want, Jonathan is definitely our man. But if we want real change, better Nigeria and  disciplined Nigerians in general, our main man's name is absolutely Buhari.
He will restore the pride, dignity and respect of the nation very quickly.

Believe it or not, electing Jonathan or Atiku is a total continuation of rubbish from the past; in fact, electing one of these folks could also lead to the REAL down fall of Nigeria.

My friends, No need to type 10 pages of story, Buhari may not be a perfect man or leader or Nigerian, but he is a perfect man for this position at this time.

My prediction: Goodluck will end up with PDP ticket, but by the final election, Nigerians would have realized that PDP are only here to toss us around as they desire, therefore, in a few months from today, Buhari will be moving to Aso Rock.

let Johnathan address issues

How to you address something you do not know?

May be Jonathan will ask his facebook guru to address this issue, again on facebook; may God bless Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes

Now that Jonathan continues to show Nigerians by every second that he isn't capable of effectively and efficiently leading this nation, I think it's time for everyone to put the personal issues aside, let go the sentiment, open our minds and be true to ourselves.
Among all our leaders for the past 30 years Buhari still remains the only one with the best record. During his short period as our president we experienced a better Nigeria, stronger laws and disciplined Nigerians in general.
He's simple, disciplined, focused, tough and has the experience we need at this time to effectively move this nation forward.

Our problems in Nigeria are very obvious and solutions to them are even straight forward, but finding the right leader to initiate these solutions becomes clearly impossible for more than 30 years.
I honestly feel that what we are currently experiencing among the PDP and the bombing is a great opportunity (wake up call) for all Nigerians to come to realize the importance of electing the right leader and not just any leader that shares the same village with our parents.

Regardless of our personal differences on some issues, we must immediately forget the sentiment and call a spade a spade and not diamond.
What I have seen and experienced lately has opened up my eyes; Buhari is the only candidate that is directly affiliated to Nigeria (Jonathan is affiliated to OBJ and Atiku is also affiliated to IBB) and will fight/work very hard for you and I.

The value of a sentiment is the amount of sacrifice you are prepared to make for it. I'm not here trying to push Buhari into your throat, but you should take a time out and think about it.

It is what it is, Buhari or the same old drama (rubbish)

90% of college graduate (most of them are married with kids) in Nigeria earns less than N35k per month (this will be about $250 or £​150 per month), and this may stay the same for many yrs to come if nothing is done quickly.

Do you know what our politicians are making per month?
I beg, let us all safe this country and vote for Buhari.

Just like any organization seeking for a right employee for a certain position. The perfect candidate is never employed, but a candidate that fits the position the best is mostly given the chance.
This is why sometimes organizations tend to reject someone with a PHD (who happens to be too perfect) and simply employ someone with an ordinary BS degree for the same position and salary.

It is always smart to first analyze what we have on ground and then elect the perfect fit (Buhari).

Buhari will clean up the house without any hesitation and give the clean young generation chance to fly this country high once again.

If you know 1 or 2 things about me, you will understand that I was never a supporter of Buhari, but it is what it is, if we truly love Nigeria and we quickly want our country back on track, Buhari is the perfect fit for the job. Anything else will be the same bullsh1t and the same drama. Trust me on this, I know what I'm talking about.

Jonathan is a nice man and a good Nigerian, but honestly, I do not even think he has the capability to be a state governor.
No disrespect, this is simply the truth and he knows it too.
