OK, we shall see.

A leader that makes other leaders wet their pants.

A leader that understands how to lead

IBB the ANSWER

Oh yes, Nigeria will survive and IBB will rule again.

A troubleshooter

A leader with a complete charisma that embraces unity.

A leader that knows how to pick the best and put them to work efficiently and effectively>

A leader that has the right tools

A leader that listens attentively

The leader of all leaders

Instead of crying, why can't we embrace the reason why IBB still has strong/powerful followers of all ages in Nigeria today; after so many years ago as the head of this nation?

A real leader is hard to come across in Nigeria, let u all give our support to the one and only, IBB?
He's determined to do all to make sure Nigeria carrises the crown once again.


IBB for 2011, IBB forever!

You haven't seen nothing yet, just wait till next week.

ok fine. . . .let's leave sentiment out of it.he has been there before for 8 years,what did he achieve and what difference is he going to make if he's given another opportunity

The key is: He's older and wiser.
He will stop all the untouchable invisible obstacles that continue to degrade this country, he'll check all the governors and local govt officials, he'll re-implement all his promising policies and immediately disable any policies that is not working, he'll revise/enforce our very weak constitutions, he'll upgrade the standard of our education and medical system, he'll immediately disable greedy generator and diesel dealers/contractors and stabilize power supply, and finally he'll attract more investors to invest in Nigeria

It sounds very simple, but an ordinary president (Goodluck) can not get all these things done effectively and efficiently

IBB's campaign materials/products will be revealed very soon (I think next week).
Let us join hands as Nigerians, let us work together as one, let us embrace wisdom/experience, let us give real leadership a chance.

May God Bless Nigeria.

I pity you MUMU!

You will fall in-love with me very soon.

@Big B1, I like you so much cos you remain the biggest fool of our time,

I'm confident that you'll change your mind very very soon; MARK IT DOWN

Allow IBB to use his muscle, his extremely power followers, unbreakable connections, his enormous wisdom, his very wide experience and his magnificent strategies to lift this country back to the top.

I can guarantee you that anything else will be nothing, but a complete waste of time.

If you truly understand Nigeria or our backward system, you will understand why the bigget fish who has too much to lose if things are not done the right way must be elected in order to get this country off the floor.

I can assure you that IBB will not steal, there is absolutely no reason for it. He is ready and very focused. Getting things right in Nigeria is very personal to this man, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to get it right this time around.

As we speak, I know (infact, very close to) more than 10 political candidates in Nigeria who look sincere, knowledgeable and promising to you folks, but to the inner circle, they have absolutely nothing to offer. Their main objective is to be elected and steal as much as possible.
But yet to you guys, IBB is the greatest and only enemy in Nigeria. It is very sad and laughable indeed that most of you know nothing about this country or politics in Nigeria, but so quick to voice your baseless opinions.

There has never been any sentiment, and this is what people refuse to understand about me.
If you can get me anyone else that has these qualities (to rule this country at this very vital time, you need balls, you need powerful followers, you need stamina, you need wisdom and more than anything else, you need to lose something if things are not done accordingly) and I'll be the first dude to jump on the bus

What you guys refuse to understand is: Nigeria is a weird country. It must be treated with common sense. And it becomes very difficult to use common sense without fully understanding what is on the ground.

Nigeria is not UK or America, if we want to be back on the map quickly the biggest fish who has too much to lose if things are not done correctly needs to be elected.
At this time in Nigeria, General Ibrahim B. Babangida (rtd) is the only aspirant that can solve the problems of this country whether economic, political, social or tribal.
If you know anyone else please post his or her name.

MARK IT DOWN, if it isn't IBB, it will be a complete waste of time.
This is not science, to rule this country at this very vital time, you need balls, you need powerful followers, you need stamina, you need wisdom and more than anything else, you need to lose something if things are not done accordingly.
This is why IBB is a perfect candidate. Stop fooling yourselves, be smart and study what is on the ground in Nigeria; this isn't America or UK.
If you want to experience quick improvement in Nigeria, the biggest fish must be elected, it's that simple.

@ziyaun:
God is already punishing you and your entire family; bush-boy.

The first batch of IBB official campaign products will be revealed for the first time next week.

You will be missed, have a great night.

How sure are you to know this? Dude, I think its very ignorant to come up with such statements "ONLY". If you don't know me wait until you see my posters I can very well solve the problems of this country

Here comes another genius

@mikeansy:
What can I tell you?
I can only be me; I proudly stand firmly by my belief.
Nigeria will be a better place if 5% of the population shares my attitude about things in geneal.

just like your mentor did for dele,vatsa, shall i continue.
ignoramus blood.klat. ewu goat.

Thank you, brother.

IBB will rule again.

You do not have to buy it; this is simply the way I see it.
Instead of crying, why not go ahead and make your recommendation known?

I dislike f0olishness, pin heads should be shot.

Big B1,
I do not have the time nor the patience to check your post history to confirm what other posters here as insinuating.
Just show your hand, let me and other uninformed persons know what beat you are dancing to.
It is important so we can know if we are having an informed objective discussion or some sycophantic propaganda.
One has to choose how he spends his or her time here, these days.
Oya, show your hand.

The problem here is very simple: Nigerians in general are not used to anything like this, this is because it isn't common in our societies; it is called loyalty and endurance.
My friends, I need no kick-back to be loyal to my belief.

And God knows that I benefit nothing from IBB; my loyalty to him is simply based on the fact that nobody else can fix this defective vehicle (Nigeria).
Hands down, he has what it takes and he knows exactly what needs to be done to quickly put Nigeria back on the map.  MARK IT DOWN, anybody else at this point will be nothing but a waste of time like the ones we have witnessed so far.

What does my loyalty to IBB got to do with Goodluck not being able to offer much to Nigeria?
Instead of focusing on what I like vs what I dislike, doesn't it make more sense to focus more on the facts on the ground and discover a better strategy to move this nation forward.

My loyalty to IBB shouldn't stop me from identifying what is wrong or way forward. It is still very acceptable in Nigeria for one to support his or her political candidate, regardless of what any f00l thinks.

Just keep in mind that, at this very vital period, if it isn't IBB, absolutely nothing will be done efficiently and effectively; it is that simple.

General Ibrahim B. Babangida (rtd) is the only aspirant that can solve the problems of this country whether economic, political, social or tribal.

The word IBB has been a misunderstood name for sometime In the political context of Nigeria. This gentleman, the former President and retired General has been vilified in some quarters because he has made known his intention to contest the 2011 general elections as elected President.

But what those who criticize him unfairly do not know is that General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) is mortal. He has never claimed to know all. As mortals, we make mistakes and amend. A close study indicates that the states-man after leaving office seventeen years ago has immersed himself into wide reading. That is symbolical and synonymous with learning all over again.

If we look back with a reasonable mind, when he stepped into office in 1985 and stepped aside in 1993, a period of about nine years, he did so many things that gave the country a good footing. One, he did away with the tyranny and dictatorship before him. General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) is a listener. Any person that is a reader is a leader and listener. He was and still a listener. He carried everyone along and when a member of his cabinet didn’t perform, he was removed. His structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) that was introduced during his administration was not meant to punish the people as some speculated and assumed.

1. On the June 12 election of 1993, he has several times said, it was collective decision of the Army Forces Ruling Council (AFRC) and not individual decision. Many Personalities and those who participated in that Government has spoken in the media of how some meddled and insisted the election be annulled.

To the economic growth and developments measures in all sectors – he introduced short time policies like the establishment of National Directorate of Employment (NDE) which is still existing and skimming the unemployed youth in our midst. When he comes back, this Directorate would be improved upon. There was the Directorate of Food, Road and Rural Infrastructure. This, too has assumed a new name under the present Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Rural Infrastructure of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

The Peoples and Community Banks were established which helped alleviate problems of finances at the grassroots. Nigeria will certainly improve under a new Leadership of General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd). Nigeria will witness a new lease of life. His vast experience will unfold new economic blue print that will salvage Nigeria from economic doldrums. Once bitten, twice shy they say. He is calculative and when he must have assumed Leadership next year, he will be able, like he did before to collect more energetic, virile, sound intellectuals, who can change the course of things.

General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) needs forgiveness and understanding from all Nigerians.

As for his comments on the youth, I believe he must have been misquoted. Since he spoke in Hausa on that British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Programme, many thought, he was castigating the youth. No! he said, youth should sit up more than what they are now to take over the Leadership and face the challenges. In Nigerian politics, there is always blackmail, this is one of them. After all, were the youth not those who participated in the IBB regime as Military administrators and ministers and touched the world?

2. Additionally, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) has the right under the Nigerian constitution to contest and be elected for, he has no criminal record, as far as I know and this is my rightful opinion.

Therefore, my view is that Nigerians and all Nigerians should stand up and support him. In old France, USA and Russia, history has it that retired Generals made more impact in governance, when elected into office, because of their training of discipline. Civilians were/ and more loose and Tended to see democracy as Jamboree, extravagance and a way to make money.

Today, our desire as concerned citizens is to see the country move forward. The vast network, the connections, the vast experience, the lessons, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd) has gathered are assets, he will use to put the nation on the right path. Nigerians should not be deceived by June 12 and other mistakes made in the past. The man has adjusted and with the tragic blow he suffered, when he lost his life time partner, what a greater lesson, that life is not permanent.

General Ibrahim B. Babangida (rtd) is the only aspirant that can solve the problems of this country whether economic, political, social or tribal. We must fall back on his past to re-adjust the future. Let us mobilize ourselves, galvanize each other for IBB for President. His option A4 and two-party system have been recurring issues for debate in recent times. These two alone show how the man was visionary and focused. Next year, when he elected, he will build on these.

In less than 3 months, it will become very clear to Nigerians that Goodluck doesn't have much to offer; the dude is from the same root as the others and absolutely has no stamina to rule this nation accordingly during this very vital period.

He is a good man, but not a natural leader: the only good news is: He knows that Nigeria at this point is a little bit too much for him to handle. He will never contest the next election.
And the sad part is: He will continue to fumble for the next few months as our president, while his wife continues and patiently steal our money do the clean-up process
