I don't think so

OK. Any reason? What do u think?

datolee:
I have no time for you really...My question for you, what is the business of AMCON and subsidy? the other banks taken over by AMCON was because of subsidy?

You should first educate yourself on the working of AMCON. Go to court and challenge the handover, until then, GEJ till Buhari stop contesting

Guy you have a sound mind, and u have a way of making people eat back their lies. To the sane mind, we know the abuse hurled at the president is borne out of hate. It's never about performance, it's all about power returning to the north.

progrethieves!!!

Nigerians who wish the country Well wouldn't ask for the very face of evil - buhari. A champion of nepotism and extreme religious ideology. We will reject him again come 2015.

This is the " progressive " truth we needed! Damn! Buhahari do us a favour tell another lie. Abokina u are a learner!!!

OAM4J:
While I also prefer a younger person, I dont think he should be dismissed base on age alone. If he is a good leader that I think he is, he can assemble young viral cabinet members that will reduce the effect of weakness that can be brought about by his age on governance.

True, I agree Buhari is not the ideal or the best candidate, but should the 2015 election be between him and Jonathan, do you think Jonathan is a better choice over Buhari?

We know it's never about performance, it's about power returning to the north. for you, discipline is flogging a man and passing a 100 years sentence without a fair trial. Giving out 80% of ptf's contract to northerners is no corruption .All these are the trademark of saint buhari. The good news is Nigerians have seen him for who he is: a loser.

BraniacX:
my pregnant mum was imprisoned for 6 months for having her signature forged on documents clearing imported goods out of a nigerian port as a transporter even when she wasn't around to append her signature to the document. Even with evidence showing that she was at the general hospital having my then 2 year old elder sister admitted for treatment on that day of all days (GOD works in mysterious ways), they still locked her up, even after the real culprits were tracked, found with the missing vehicle, some of the stolen goods and arrested after their confessions attesting to my mums innocence, they still locked her up for her inability to come up with the N60,000 bail set for her release (trust me, this was a huge amount in 1985). Seeing the injustice, the greek and german owners of the company owning the stolen goods, came up with the money and aggressively lobbied the authorities before they reluctantly agreed to release my 8 months pregnant mother after conducting a medical test to confirm that an obviously 8 months pregnant woman was truly pregnant and ought to be released (on a hefty bail).
After releasing my mother on bail, no futher charges were brought up against her till date, though some of the anti-corruption task force and policemen accused my mum of being too bold to be doing buisness in an area which should exclusively be a mans domain but actually, that doesn't constitute into a crime, does it?
I was born a month after my mother was released from prison on bail.
And on my father's vehement insistence, my mum called it quits with her transport buisness after that incident after she rationalized that she was only saved by GOD seeing as she had no powerfull backers to protect her. Bottom line, she decided she would rather be a broke living mother to her kids than be a rich dead or imprisoned mother, and that is how the dreams of a budding young entrepreneur was snuffed out.

This was done under the regime of general buhari so u can all vote for gmb if you beleive mass miscarriage of justice (other people have their own tales to tell too) is equivalent to anti corruption and discipline. go ahead and vote for him, if you beleive that every single position/opportuinity should be held by a nothern hausa/fulani muslim(check his record, his nepotism is unrivaled my source is once again my mum who said and i quote "jobs and contracts with goverment parastatals dried up, you can queue from morning to evening and receive no notice but an hausa man will come by 3:50pm shout rankadede to everybody and receive the job everbody had been lobbying for all day, so every non hausa could only work with private firms" vote for gmb. I have been reading messages on this thread and so far, no one has accused gej of nepotism meaning under his leadership, Nigerians of all tribes and religions have equal opportuinities and we also have freedom of expression an association.

So am not asking for your forgiveness if i don't buy your anti-corruption and disciplinarian gibberish about gmb and proactively campaign against him, maybe that is one of the reasons i and my mother survived.

This is my own personal story and if gmb succeeds in entering Aso rock come 2015, be it on your heads. You'll be reaping what you sowed.

CHIKENA!!

it's pathetic that some people think buhari has anything good to offer; whereas buhari represent the face of lawlessness, lies and bigotry. The good news is: buhari doesn't stand a chance against gej, fact.

Martins301:
BUHARI (1983-1985) VS
JONATHAN (2010-
DATE)....Compare and judge for
yourself.GMB ECONOMY: Inherited a dwindling economy,

Maitatsine
Marwa, a Koranic scholar, rejected
the hadith

reading of any other book but the Koran as
paganism
raised its head in 1979 during the
Administration of President Shehu
Shagari
after he was contained by the Murtala and
Obasanjo Administrations.
Maitatsine spoke

Portharcourt Refinery, established

every sector,
NO HIGH PROFILE conviction has
been made by the administration.
6. The President Publicly said
"Stealing Is Not
Corruption"
7. $20b is allegedly missing from
the treasury. Though the Finance
Minister refuted
the claim but admited that "about
$10b is
unremitted" INSURGENCY: 1.The Government Inherited Boko-
Haram

contained by
the Yar Adua's Administration.
under the watch of this government, scores
have dies
prematurely by the sect, towns,
villages and
communities captured. Military

Oil
Bunkering is still common and shortchanging
the treasury. OTHER SECURITY: 1. Robbery, Ritualism, BABY

is a
common menace.
2. Political motivated thuggery, street
thuggery is not uncommon. PETROLEUM INFRASTRUCTURE: The Government Promised 4 NEW
Refineries
in 2012 and upgrade of existing
ones. Till
DATE nothing has changed. Fuel
Subsidy Import Bill stands at N1trn. THE PRESS: The Government Signed the
Freedom of
Information Bill into Law, which is
plausible.
But Cases of Military harassing
Pressmen and journalists on daily basis, That
the
Committee to Protect Journalists on
August
22, 2014Warned of dire
consequences should the infringement persist.(One
begins to
wonder the sincerity in the FOI
law).

state ur facts with source.

chuksmad:
GEJ tried his best for this country, but his weakest point is corruption, which i believe GMB can address.

Tell us how buhari had curbed corruption bw 1983-1985. Giving out 80% of the ptf contract to northerners with no little or no technical skills is no corruption right?

yemyem2:
I am absolutely sure that u were a toddler between 1983 and 1985 when GMB was the military president.

calling him a toddler doesn't suggest u are mature, present verifiable facts to show what ur hero buhari achieved bw 1983-1985. We know it's never about performance, it's about power returning to the north. The born to rule mentality of the north is going to run this country under ground.

nigerianvenom:
buhari is always a willingly tool for disgrace.
imagine the unconfirmed fact he tender.
u shall fail again

ise!!!

Btruth:
Going through his records, and his past & present profile (which I will advice you to really take your time to research, sentiments apart). You will notice that Buhari is the same league with our late president Musa Yardua. Northerner or not, if you study both of them, they are the same product with the first Prime minister of Nigeria ( Tafa Balewa). Apart from maybe General Buhari could be a muslim extremist and probably the muslim/muslim ticket, I think the man is worthy to be giving a chance to rule us once again, having layed a good foundation during his tenure with Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon. If we have to be honest with ourselves, their leadership during that short period was indeed what every Nigerian dream of. We need people with good policy, well mannered, discipline, and truthfully to a level to rule us for a change.

for u discipline means flogging adults and incarceration of suspect without proper trial. Can u please tell us the names of people who worked in the top echelon of ptf when buhari was the boss? let me tell u, they were 90% northerners. if Nepotism isn't corruption I wonder what is. Your saint buhari served in abacha's government and even claimed abacha stole no money, smh. Nigerians can see that it's not about gej performance in office, it's all about power returning to the north.

IBROHIM:
But Jona said he won't stay in office beyond 2015! Was he drunk when he said that?

Buhari had vowed not to contest again, why is he here? oh I guess he wasn't drunk.

size38:
PDP is telling lies here. Where is 4000 plus MW? I live in PHC along NTA road Road Mgbouba, everybody living here can attest to the fact that for over 3 months now we have not seen a flash of light how much having a 2 hours light for over 3 months

That u don't have electricity light doesn't mean others don't have; present ur facts not ur feelings. u may not like gej, but he has performed beyond past presidents.

Well it's a " progressive debt " pls pay up, no time. sai apc! debt to the people!

amaechi! funny dude. something tells me u are now a comedian.

Odilafta:
I noticed the Op is male,nice
You must be a caring and a devoted father to your child

Keep up the love,some men just don't care..

Your baby would get used to it in time,she might be the kind that doesn't adapt easily to new environment.

Thanks.

jeffizy:
[color=#005500] Try take him to a place where there's at least a face the kid knows. either a teacher or a student.

Speak about school often when at home. [/color]

She's 11 months old. Though we talk to her, I don't think she has developed the needed communication skills to understand such message.

moreeni:
I have no experience but I believe she would get used to it. You could throw in some incentives for her and also learn to throway face too. She will get used to it daddy.

BTW, you have started the first step of teaching her the act of independence... She would get used to it

I wish I can "throway face", I keep hearing her little innocent voice deep inside my heart. And believe u me, it's no fun.

sammieguze:
The way some people talk sef..... I just can't help but wonder....

Anyway....@ op, don't worry. She ll get used to it. Am sure u did more than that when you were her age. Ma you she resemble.

On another note, maybe you should switch creche. She might not be ok with such a place. Maybe not being properly taken cared of.

I made findings before settling for the daycare we are patronizing; it's supposed to be one of the best. However, I may have to try some other creche.

Rehil:
3weeks still cryin wen u go to drop her?dats not gud.pls try n visit d daycare durin workin hours witout informin dem.just drop ur child as usual,go to work n after about 3hrs go n c how d kids r doing.all my kids stop cryin after like 4days n wave me byebye.maybe d people looking after them r not dat gud u know.all d best

Thanks. it actually gives me reason to worry bc my baby is so full of life and she's hyper active when in the house; but immediately we get to the daycare she wouldn't want to go down. I will pay them a surprise visit.

My baby, about 11months old keeps crying each time we drop her at the daycare. I thought she would get use to the center, but it's getting to 3 weeks and she still cries. I love her so much and I can't stand her cry in this manner. It's even worse I can't concentrate on my work, pls people with experience should tell me what best to do.

This is why we will reject buhari; every northern Muslim is in support of extremists ideology.

How did we get here? I believe the past generation of elders are to blame. The sex/money for grades in our institutions are done by who? youths? No! The bad leadership that encouraged corruption and mediocrity is made up of 80% elders. please share in the blame.

If you had checked properly, you would have seen Chris in a compromised position with sinach.

I have given up on America and their actions against Nigeria.

sorry I didn't read the epistle, is he related to pastor Chris okotie?

Aituku Aibubakar flexing with the Italian mafiaso in Nigeria's port. Jokes apart, have u ever wondered what intels is producing? find out it activities and u will despise this man called atiku.

Picture of the chair or.....

Alright. wait let me look for my nokia1100 camera phone to schnap d Pishure

Whatever float their goat!

Case File: Chair of Death
Location: Thirsk, England
Date: 1669
Description: Located near Sandhutton
in North Yorkshire, the Busby Stoop
Inn is a public house with a tavern that
is considered haunted. The activity
seems confined to a reputed Chair of
Death kept in storage.
History: The 'Chair of Death' was the
favorite chair of a striper named
Thomas Busby, who was convicted in
1702 for the murder of his father-in-
law, Daniel Auty, whom he supposedly
strangled for sitting in his favourite
chair after an argument about Thomas'
wife, Auty's daughter Elizabeth. On his
way to the gallows in 1702, he asked
to stop by the pub and put a curse on
his chair, claiming that anyone who sat
in it would be haunted and soon die.
It remained in the pub for centuries,
and people were dared to sit in it.
During World War II, airmen from an
nearby base made the pub a hot spot,
and the chair became a "hot seat" and
people noticed that the ones who sat
in it would never come back from war.
In 1967, two Royal air force pilots sat
in it, and while driving back, they
crashed into a tree and died. A few
years later, two brick layers decided to
try it, and that afternoon, the one who
sat in it fell to his death. The cursed
chair has apparently "killed" every
person who sat in it, no matter what.
Some instances include a roofer who
sat in it died after the roof he was
working on collapsed, and a cleaning
woman stumbled into it while
mopping, and was later killed by a
brain tumor. Eventually, the pub
owner moved it into the basement,
hoping that nobody would sit in it.
However, one day a delivery man was
in the basement and sat in it. An hour
later, he crashed his truck and died.
After that death, the landlord asked
the local museum to take it. to ensure
nobody sat in it again, they hung the
chair five feet from the ground.
Recently, the current owner of the
pub heard of another death. During
World War II, a truck driver picked up
two airmen, and they wanted him to
stop at the pub, and while they were
in the bathroom the driver
unknowingly sat in the chair. When
the airmen didn't return, he left, and
when one of them later found him he
killed him. It seemed, that because
the museum had made it nearly
impossible to be able to sit in it, its
"killing" days were over however the
museum closed and auctioned off all of
its belongings in 2010. The location of
the chair is now unknown, but it is
believed that the chair has since been
refurbished. It is said that for some
time prior to death (time varies in all
cases) the person who sat in the chair
experiences haunting experiences,
including extreme itching, paranoia,
hearing things, confusion, items being
moved and written warnings on
mirrors and walls about the persons
imminent death in addition to many
other strange happenings.

barcanista:
The President takes credit for...

Facebook Coming to Nigeria- Labaran Maku

Nairaland Coming to Nigeria- Jonathanians

Super Eagles winning AFCON- PDP and Jonathanians

Eaglet winning U17 WC- Jonathan Campaign, PDP and Jonathanians

Now Ebola that was contained through the Efforts of the State Governments in Rivers and Lagos plus the Professionalism of the affected doctors is being attributed to Jonathan and PDP that played little or no role in the containment.

Wharped thinking

I think it's rather warped that u want the fg to take the blame and refused to acknowledge that he takes the credit also.
