Islam is not the only problem in Africa and I don't live in Africa.

Islam is one of the reason for under development in the north.

The killings the Islamist did in Egypt robbed Africa of their land and pyramids in Egypt

macklef:
Pls, i want to ask a question that has been baffling me as ave been ignoring this APC n PDP threads.

Is certificate presentation a criteria for being an eligible candidate for presidency?
If it is since Buhari's certificate cant be presented, why cant he just be droped?

And if certificate submission is not a big deal, as i can obviously see that amidst this certificate ish, the buhari guy is still holding rallys unperturbed.

Why are you NLers giving urself Blood pressure with the certificate ish? Is there no due process?

Millions of unemployed graduates r roaming the street and u saying is certificate

In 21st century a leader of a country should be more qualified than a professor

Do u know how complex running a country is

jaybee3:
That's a specific requirement dumbo...

The constitution requires one to have a minimum of secondary school certificate before contesting for the highest post

He couldn't have been able to get on the MSc course without having the prerequisite requirement

Why r u so dense let him show his certificate simple . All this story is unnecessary

And u fools r talking bout anticorruption

Justbright:
From 1979 -1980, at the rank of colonel, Buhari attended
the US Army War College (established in 1901) in Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, United States of America and gained a
Masters Degree in Strategic Studies . [10] [11] Upon
completion of the on-campus full-time resident program
lasting ten months and the two-year-long, distance
learning program, the United States Army War College
(USAWC) college awards its graduate officers a master's
degree in Strategic Studies.

assuming he got that degree why was he kicked out of office so easily like 1 yeye ball whey wan yeye breeze dey blow from one corner.?

US war college my foot,


he went to us war college is that where they taught him coup plotting there because 2 yrs later from his supposed grad see what path he sent nigeria on.

If u dont remeber Nigeria was raped by 4 other generals

jaybee3:

U fool if u have low brain function why dont u shut up

if u apply for a job and they say requirement for job is BSc be rest assured they to produce your documentation as proof of what u put on ur cv. so why is this different for mallam buhari.

if you are applying for a job and they ask u to present your NYSC certificate. will u be telling them story .


A country gets the leader it deserves

Is dat not a certificate of attendance which is different from degree?

Whats is baffling is how your trying to prove to yourself that a tired ex army officer that ruled in the 70s to 80s is the one that shd ruele us over 30-40 years later.


we dont need old politicans like buhari coming back into power esp for not allowing a young democracy to grow

very faLSE Benin Republic has stable light and not on that list. we should be around 33 in africa

LouisVanGaal:
Are the above names in the 2015 contest? That's how you fail exams

Olodo those were ppl in position of power during Buhari time or even after, 2nd republic colleagues and the all share the same ideology.

So therefore as Buhari wants to comeback into power those ppl too have a legitimate claim to comeback and contest

LouisVanGaal:
Even Mr Fasheun that's a public figure doesn't even know that GMB didn't make the threat to make Nigeria 'Ungovernable'..Smh

Do we fold our hands and expect change to come to us? Hell No! We go out and search for it! I remember when a 'change' was presented to us in the person of Pat Utomi in 2007 or 2011..did we vote for him? NO! We allowed PDP to brainwash us and rig the elections.

Even if Madam due process (Oby ezekwesili) and the late prof dora Akunyili had contested for the presidency under the canopy of another party against PDP..they would still lose!

So let's stop this pretence of saying...'Untill the right person comes'..it doesn't work, cos dea is no ideal politician! When the desirable isn't available, the available bcoms desirable!

We are stuck with GEJ and GMB for better for worse come 2015..and we are opportuned to hav witness 5years of GEJ's tenure..we know what he can do and undo! Why not we try out GMB under democracy sinz he had barely settled dwn in d military era b4 he was ousted by IBB..and if he doesn't deliver, we VOTE him OUt by 2019!

Let's sample our 'so-called' leaders 1 after d oda..till we get dia! Rome wasn't built in a day! Let's not deceiv ourselvz...NO president can transform Nigeria in 8years, let alone 4years..but there are two things we are still struggling with in Nigeria and that's the issue of Power and Security..of which oda sector depends on them...And GEJ has failed woefully there!

If buhari can tackle corruption and improve our power generation from 4kMW to 8kMW at least and end the insurgents...it would be a BIG + in his administration! Then we might decide whether to renew his contract in Aso rock or not!

If not, Another president would com and tackle another sector or 2...trying to tackle everything @ d same tim wouldn't work..dats jack of all trade and master of none! Tht was why yar'adua failed, imagine trying to tackle 7 ailing sectors @ d same time in 4years..

As it stands now, every other aspirants deserve a chance excluding GEJ..

When ppl like fasheun ( OPC leader) soyinka are saying buhari is not good someppl will be saying change. Not all change is positive, you can change from worse to worst as English say.

If gani was alive he would say the same thing that ppl who are shouting buhari have amnesia or doing it for personal gains.



Buhari is a leech on government appointment, he is always looking for one govt appointment or other and still looking. if he doesnt enter this yr be rest assured he will contest next yr.

If he and dangote contest election i will vote dangote over him. because nigeria is in a critical position it is possible that oil prices will continue to drop and if the west invent an alternative-just forget the consquences

I am not saying GEJ is the best if you want change vote anyone else apart from Buhari

LRNZH:
You totally missed his point.

The topic under consideration is age.
All other things being equal, he us telling us that age does not matter. Maybe he should have used more commendable examples like Ronald Reagan. But Mandela is on his list.

Mind you, the topic is refering to 70 years being too old for leadership. Peter Obi got this one wrong.

This dictators and thiefs they were not 70 yrs when they entered power

Mugabe: was 63 when he entered power when he entered zimbabwe was one of the best countries in africa now its is rubbish

Reagan: was in his 60s when he entered power but even at that nigeria and us democracy are not in the same category at all.


What i am saying even though i dont support GEJ as such

Buhari is the worst contentsant out of the 7

Just like lagos saying they want Jakande back as governor when he have younger people that are closer to the internet age with sharper mind and greater focus.

You know as ppl grow older they return to babies

Most ppl in Nairaland where not even born when Buhari was president or governor or minsiter

GOd forbid

dammytosh:
Your assertion shows how shallow minded you are. Lest i forget, you have NO intelligence.

You are big ignoramus and u know nothing mumu

Im voting NCP -that is real change u obviously dont think deep enough thats why ur forked up idiot

Just to let you know that quote was from the greatest political strategist ever: Machiavelli

yibomustgo:
[s][/s]

Rubbish from the same suspects from other side of the Niger. How old was Mandela when he became president. How is Prime Minister of India there now? Mugabe, Sirleaf, Bashir, Paul Biya, President of Eq. Guinea, and many more are still there today and in their 70s or 80s doing well for their countries.

Buhari looks more healthy that the drunkard from Oytuoke you all called president.

See the people u are taking as example lol

Mugabe: toilet paper has more value than zim dollars, even though they remove 3 zeros from their currency , it still as worthless as shit

Bashir: Are u joking

Paul Biya: Modern day mobutu, he entered cameroun presidency in 1982 (when Buhari was coupplotting) how he is still there is baffling. Cameroun as you know beat nigeria on many occasions to be named the most corrupt country in the world under Paul Biya Leadership (32 yrs)

President of Eq Guinea (Obiang): Another mobutu, generatons unborn will be swearing for him. His daughter is the richest woman in that country, his son who Obiang made Vice President is the biggest theif in africa. Recently FBI seized 30 millions dollars from him. A mansion in malibu california, Micheal Jackson glove (which he bought for 500000$), mutliple ferraris and brand new gulf stream jets.

This guy is looting the country blind and all the money the country is making


Now Mandela: MAndela is south africas equivalent of Gani Fawehinnmi and he was in jail for over 27 years . It is an insult to compare Buhari to Mandela, you cannot even compare Obasanjo and Mandela..

Mandela was fighting an apartheid racist govt in SA and he was arrested for treason.

dammytosh:
Go to North Korea then. That is the most stup1d quote ironically coming from a wise man.

What do u know anybody who thinks Buhari is change has a low intelligence. if the person has intelligence its either the person is a muslim or an apc card carrying member but just to let u know Buhari can never be president in Nigeria, Mark my words

All over the world retirment age is 70, even at that its not a high pressure job like president . unless he is just going to sit there and be doing l nothing. Body no be fire wood this body after 50yrs u body begin to stiff up and your memory begin to diminsh

APC if they were serious we have better ppl like fashola, akpabio ,oshimole

then technocrats also are available

tit:
you are a bad moslim.
you go to party and dance with loose girls.
you even take hard drinks and smoke weed.
then you come and say you are progressive.

it is not even the moslim new year!
we have done our new year since october 25th!
what kaffir celebration are you partaking in.
aa only pity those you decieve.

Are u an arab why have you been so brainwashed to take the arab religion as gospel truth. Arabs are smart dont doubt but they made you brainwashed. you don chop their banana as a monkey finish as africans are consumers of anything foreign

I have some close friends as arabs and they laugh at africans for beleiving in their relgion. If you dont beleive go to saudi and see how you will be treated.

They hate blacks and yet you worship their god blindly.


The greatest mistake or curse on africa was after being colonised they shoved their religion down our throat as a way of permanently colonising us and our unborn kids.

They now said our own religon is animist


wake up my sista

dammytosh:
He ruled as a military dictator.

So what part of 'Dictator' don't you understand ?


We need change,
we need discipline.
We need to fight corruption,
We need to fight Boko Haram
We need to fight lawlessness.

The Dictatorship and having a mind of his own is needed.

Not one drunken Master from Otuoke who will wait for Stella, Ngozi, Patience or Diezini before determining the next move.

Dont be misguided Buhari is not change, u can choose from the other aspirants

A wise man once said

“Men change their rulers willingly, hoping to better themselves, and this hope leads them to take up arms against him who rules. But in this, they are deceived, because they afterwards discover they have gone from bad to worse.”

HappyJoe:
This is a nonsensical write up.

Ndigbo are in the most logical place politically.

The mathematics is simple - with APC, Buhari does 4 or 8 years, then hands over to a Yoruba man, who then hands over to a Northerner. So with APC, its a minimum of 20 years before you can see an Igbo president.

In PDP/APGA, Jonathan does 4 years, hands over to a Northerner who does 8 years, so in 12 years (or less), you can see an Igbo president.

By 2019, you could have an Igbo VP (with the PDP/APGA configuration), with APC, that might not happen for 20 - 24 years.

But going beyond that, of what relevance are these positions to the well-being of the average citizen? The North can occupy the presidency for 100 years, but that will have zero impact on the appalling human capital indices (poverty, literacy rates, infant mortality) in Northern Nigeria. In fact, the average Northerner will see no positive improvement in his/her life.

Obasanjo was president for 8 years, did it result in any significant improvement in the life of the average Yoruba person? No.

Many Nigerians (we Igbos inclusive), don't appreciate the vantage position we occupy in Nigeria. We control the "economic midfield". If all Igbo traders in Lagos decide to close shop for just 3 days, Lagos will grind to a halt and people will understand the meaning of the word "economic dominance".

Why is Lagos strategic? Because it is the site of Nigeria's most important deep seaport? But who are the importers? Igbos. In spite of the natural advantage of having a massive port, the Yorubas haven't dominated the export/import business - an why is that so? They lack the ability and coordination to.

Professors Anya and Obiechina (I am told), have advanced this position - Ndigbo should concentrate on dominating "Nigeria's economic midfield" and consolidating on that dominance. If you want to travel from Lagos to Abuja by luxury bus - you either use Chisco, Ekene, "The Young", ABC, GUO, Ezenwata, Ifesinachi etc (there are no Hausa or Yoruba luxury bus companies competing with these people).

As the price of a barrel of crude continues to drop, the North will soon understand that simply telling its large mass of uneducated and ignorant people that "Jonathan is the problem" won't suffice. When they take over power, they will be forced to confront what they failed to confront for the past 40 years and since they lack any ideas except for struggling with the Niger Delta for every last drop of oil, they won't succeed.

What the South East needs are a crop of good governors. If Anambra and Abia can do N100 billion each in IGR, then Igbo politics will change. With Obiano already in Anambra and the likelihood of Otti in Abia, this is doable.

Finally, these aren't the 70s anymore. Hausas and Yorubas cannot simply "dominate" Nigeria - they have Ndigbo, an assertive Niger Delta and Northern Christians/Minorities to contend with.

Do away with this "1970s mentality/thinking".

The yorubas were doing trading with europeans before nigeria was formed. trading was going on, there was trade of raw materials etc before that. To the ibos its a big deal because ibo is landlocked but yoruba and southsouth is surrounded by oceans.

The yorubas are more concerned with coporate activites construction, farming, banking, acoounting , law, telecoms,education while the ibos immigrants to lagos were happy to that that business. which is all good.


Also Lagos port was dregdged to make it a deep sea port and so also Calabar port and port Harcout Port.

They have all been dregdged

ilotriouzAY:
Lagos is working

Vote APC
Experience CHANGE

GMB for FG-01

if nigerians head is correct shd fashola not be the presidental candidate-instead of GMB.



Fashola has vision but
Buhari vision is a coffin in aso rock,im sorry 2 say

Just because emirates bought arsenal stadium does not mean london shd become a political annex of uae. an investment is just a source of revenue to the investor

(nothing peronal or cultural)

If u have 500000 dollars or pound u can be come a citizen of any country, but not a political priviledges but a resident


For business anyone can do business in lagos that shd be the case every where but culturally and historically it can never be a no mans land.

The aworis are descendants of ijebu ppl. and as u know an ijebu man is very money conscious and calculates on his last kobo

I know this becaue my family ancestors were from epe and ikorodu. there was a time in lagos island on a monday u could here a pin drop

Abeg answer




1)What of ogun state? is also afuture lagos
2) what of calabar

3) if 1million hausa /fullani migrate to owerri or enugu for economic betterment and more opportunites does that mean (?)




Apart from Edo ppl who r yoruba neigbour or cousin. Hausa were the the 1st migrants to SW

backtosender:
this one is beyond you,lagos is no mans land if you try any thing stupid we will send all of you to dark rooms in lagos military barracks

My brother not true in totality, historically before mass migration and economic treaty between Oba Akintoye and British merchants things were very different.

It was mostly a yoruba town with people from neigbouring edo, nupe and cotou

coolhamid:
Mr Yuguda, I don't see any big deal in what you have done... The christians are also indigenes of bauchi state. If you can sponsor Muslims to Saudi Arabia, you should also reciprocate such gesture to bauchi Christians by sponsoring them to Jerusalem also....

Fellow Nigerians, let's give GMB a chance to prove himself to us next year by voting enmasse for him.If he disappoints us like the way PDP is currently doing , we would also vote him out come 2019...

Vote GMB in 2015

ur are one of the fools we have in nigeria with ur yansh thinking

can u see that the youths have more sense than the old folks who still want things the old way.

This stupid pilgramage rubbish was started by the military boys. see the rubbish that they introduced

Relgion shd be a personal relationship between a man and his God

ForK HIM ANOTHER WASTE OF GOVT MONEY.

U SEE THE FOOLS RULING AND THEIR MENTALITY IT SO BACKWARD

that money can be used to retrain teachers, build new facilites, tar roads, complete unfinshed projects etc

what about the 2.8 billion dollars missing when buhari was minister of petroleum resources-what happened anti corruption neva start that time


Buhari is a barawo in disguise

eye4eye:
I can't wait for Buhari to destroy Jonadunce in a presidential debate. The man was precise, truthful with substance. He has the full knowledge of issues so dear to my fellow Nigerians.

Sai Buhari!

Sai APC!

Sai Nigeria!

Big fool who was Minsiter of Petroleum Resources when 2.8 Billion Naira oil sale money went missing ? Ans Buhari

2.8 Billion Naira in 1975 was almost 2Billion Dollars

You fools dont know anything

Abeg during Oputa Panel when they asked Buhari and IBB to come and defend atrocities levied against them all in the name of reconciliation and truth. Where were they, they did not come out. Now that money and ower is at stake they are coming out.



IBB didn't answer to his case neither did Buhari claming they were to big


If u really want change vote ncp

how can you compare obasanjo and buhari. Obasanjo is very popular out of Nigeria and is an African statesman.

Obasanjo was the first military man in Africa to hand over power back to civilian

Unlike the other ones that declared zero party

Buhari didn't have any agenda for democracy

IBB had agenda but kept postponing and canceling election

Abacha declared zero party

and abdulsalam handed it back to obasanjo
