OrlandoOwoh:
He has more than 56 days to spend. Yes, he will be defeat on the 14/02/2015, he will remain there till May 29. During this period, he would have made history as the first lame duck in Nigeria.

He started being a lame duck 7yrs ago... At least. The man opens his mouth and I just cringe! Nigeria deserves better!

HOTWATER:
you think you are insulting GEJ . You will leave that naija one day to discover that people don;t wash their dirty linen in public. Worst things happen in other countries, but they seldom make the kind of comments you guys make and come out to cry of racism and stigmatism . Continue oooo

Examples please or you risk being called a liar! What I detect is a failure of reasoning on your part.

Luizkid:

If only the people's vote will count...

That would make a radical campaign poster... Lol... He only stole...

Dbboy:
Let make this clear can you define stealing explicitly as corruption or the other way round is corruption stealing?

We argue without making any meaning of what we are arguing about.

Stealing/theft has a definition in law as the taking of a thing with the intent of permanently depriving it's owner of its use. Stealing/theft is a corrupt act under almost every moral, religious and legal system. Let's not beat around the bush, stealing is just one part of what can accurately be described as acts of corruption.

Ikengawo:
Buhari Campaign account, I was in the United States during 9/11 and years after. There was no politics about it. Republicans and Democrats joined hands to reach resolutions. Bush was unopposed in the Senate and House in passing the bills he felt were necessary to keep people safe. the Department of Homeland Security, and tighter security measures were all passed. If a commentator on the news here and there used it as a chance to play politics I can tell you now that the actual organs of government were unaffected.

In Nigeria the North blocks any bill concerning security of Nigeria. They are against the purchase of more weapons, against the US labeling BH a terrorist organization, against the state of emergency, against the compromised partial state of emergency.

Their media organs so no support for the military, no support for the people actually fighting to keep us safe, no support for the JTF, and so support for anyone that has taken a stand in action, not just words, against Boko haram. They were more willing to send Ihejirika to the international criminal court than to allow the US to label Shekau a terrorist.

And the media in Nigeria has only aided in making this dysfunctional self destructive lust for power worst. If we're not hearing that Nigerian soldiers are worst than Boko Haram, we're hearing that 'the igbos' or 'the niger delta militants' are plotting this whole thing, or that GEJ is sponsoring it etc.




When something happens we don't even hear the victims names, the victims stories, a word from their families, a picture, nothing. Just politics and the names of politicians, over and over. In the US were there people that attacked Clinton and Bush, yes, but the media was unanimiously more concerned with the solution that the politics. You can see the names of those that didn't in terror attacks in the news. If one man is kidnapped the media will show his face, tell his story, and drum up solidarity for the rescue effort. There is investigation. The Media will even go to the battlefield to tell the actual story as it happens.


The Nigeria media will google pictures of burnt houses or burnt schools and post a story on hearsay that benefits their political and monetary agenda with unabashed shame. How many pictures of 'the chibok school' did we see that were completely different from each other? These people are sick and you're sick for dedicating your young life to supporting this.

You are very dull with all your suppositions. If you want links to back what I say, ask. And do the same. The American system benefits from criticism from all corners, but til today the consensus is that Bush was useless in his response to 9/11. What did Iraq have to do with that? Wasn't part of Obama attraction that he voted against the war in Iraq while H.Clinton voted in support? Perhaps you are not quite the media or political expert you imagine. Obama has been criticised from day 1,and yet he has still done great things despite all the opposition. Health care for all, rapprochement with Cuba, reducing tension with Iran, immigration easing... So why do you think we cannot still produce results even if under criticism? You have a logic failure to deal with. And no, this is not an official Buhari or apc account. I am a southern Christian sick and tired of you people who believe in business as usual, especially when there is an obvious intellectual deficit. Cheers

People are strange on nairaland sha. The fate of these poor villagers should not be surprising. In every way people in military uniform consider themselves the superiors of civilians. In Lagos, the police arrested an army man and the army retaliated by coming to blow up the police station with grenades, and a hail of gunfire. Like the public sector workers, they can be very uncivil servants quite often. 2 incidents below, that happened in lagos, not out of sight in the village!

Rehil:
I smell lies.boko haram members have been known to blend in with villagers.i tink the villagers are hiding something.God protect our soldiers from boko haram attack on the field,press boko haram n boko haram supporters pretending to be innocent villagers who want to tarnish d image of our gallant soldiers.

What rubbish! How many strangers can blend into your own village?

Ikengawo:
It's sad. I don't understand hating someone to this level. It has reach the point that the average 'apc supporter' will actively root for Boko Haram and us it as a chance to shame GEJ. Like that bring back our girls thing, why was it about the president? Why was it turned into a campaign against GEJ? How debased does someone have to be to make what they believe is the kidnap of hundreds of girls an opening to 'shame' the president?

When 9/11 happened in the US, they didn't attack Bush
When the Kenyan mall shooting happened, they didn't attack the president
Even the xenophobic riots in SA, they understood it wasn't the governments fault

but in Nigeria they will use every boko haram attack to shame the military and the government. For that the military and government are the ONLY things in Nigeria that are fighting boko haram. There are no charity organizations even by northerners for victims, there is no outreach or voluntary work, schools aren't teaching kids how to stay safe, religious organizations are trying to reach out to and communicate with Boko Haram. People are watching their houses burn, and yelling at the government for not coming inside that house and pulling them out.


It's really pathetic and strange that this level of thinking exists in Nigeria. Now the Military is evil because Premiumtimes needs people to click and share their link. Wickedness in the face of ignorance.

Facts are sacred. When 9/11 happened, Clinton was attacked for not having seized the chance to kill bin Laden many years before. Bush was also attacked for covering up the role Saudi citizens played in the attack, and focusing on Iraq that had next to nothing to do with the bombing. The CIA was criticised for its intelligence failure as was the fbi.
Google is your friend ... And facts are facts

Now that Shekau 2/3 has said they will attack Kano because Emir Sanusi said the good Muslims should form vigilante groups to fight boko Haram, will you say that the Emir should have kept silent, so you can then accuse him of being a supporter of BH? Civilised people learn from criticism, but here we always think everything is personal. We want BH crushed, but the generals and people in abuja who think the conflict is a good opportunity to make money, must be exposed. How can the foot soldiers in the army be happy knowing that if you go missing in battle, they will stop paying your salary to your family? There are many issues in the army and BH is exposing them unfortunately.

chocmanne:
may God bless u bro... it's quite unfortunate how some people think, saying they got what they deserved for harboring the terrorists. some of the villagers might not even know any of the terrorists.... but you "where two elephants fights is the grasses that suffers "..Naija go better

It is unfortunate that some people are so simple minded on issues. If someone now says 3 of the dead were Christian perhaps the response will be different. The same army people that does debt collection all over the country, that will beat you up if you block them in traffic, that tactically withdrew to Cameroon... All their top brass as fat or fatter than Wike? They are Nigerians like you and me and nothing gives them the right to act as executioners of the innocent. People are cruel until injustice touches them personally... Good Christian folk of the south, keep showing your true colours. Smdh.

gneisss:
lies jare....our stupid incompetent journalist and media houses can't even get most of their fact rite they keep giving fake news dat eventually gets into the international community and making Nigeria look worst than it is already...Nigerian soldiers aren't mad to enter a village kill everybody and touch thier homes

I see, so the destruction of Odi did not happen abi? Or Zaki biam? Don't accuse others of incompetence when you are desperately bereft of facts yourself! Go look it up. The sun newspaper carried photos of soldiers raping Odi villagers after murdering and burning the place down.

pazienza:
Wife or Wike?

Is there any difference?

Anyone who wants a good laugh should look at a picture of him wearing a suit! The belle don swell finish. Failure awaits him in his quest. An odious empty barrel

Kai, is this not a joke! Ok, so pentecostals are being marginalised? And cele nko? What of trado-medicals? At least we can see from where this ridiculous news emanated. Shameless pseudo Christians

So Danny Wilson is still alive? Last I heard he was doing toyboy for one old pdp woman wey don do tummy tuck and face lift finish. Has he done his 'freedom'? Danny ndo... It's not easy, life.

Silly lies from the confused TANbassadors

ikombe:
dis is 1 of d reason y nigeria can never move forward becos ppl like u still exist. Ppl who blame jonah for everytin sumone else does.

I'm sure you've never heard the expression 'the buck stops at the top', or the fish rotting from the head... Is the president there to avoid responsibility for the actions of his own government? Was he not pressurised to sack Stella Oduah for her egregious actions? Did he respond like someone who abhors corruption? Was she arrested, put on trial... Or is her reward not going to be a seat in the Senate? Has anyone been held accountable for the deaths of 16+ people during the customs stadium recruitment disaster? Have we rescued even 10% of the persons boko haram have been kidnapping not only from Chibok? You sir, are the reason Nigeria is a sad excuse of a nation. I expect so much better from a president, and it is not my calling in life to celebrate mediocrity, or worship him and hold him blameless like Jesus, a man he clearly has nothing in common with.

knightsTempler:
Are you saying Buhari is gonna pick a fool to be his VP?

Pastor? Which pastor? I don't do church, i just believe in God.

I am saying that the mistake of picking Jonathan as vp should never be repeated. The apc will pick a credible yoruba technocratic that is ready to shoulder the onerous task of restoring our country to sanity. Sambo is just a jobless lightweight who like obj cannot even win his ward. His wife has to hide so her level of education will not highlight the dames deficiencies. It is a sign of weakness that a president cannot work with a strong deputy. Buhari will not make that mistake.

knightsTempler:
Are you insinuating that Buhari will not complete his term in office and his VP will take over the affairs of the nation just like Jonathan? That's if he wins come 2015, which i'm sure he wouldn't...

Did your own pastor pick a fool to be his deputy? Pls answer

jieta:
it will take more than five hundred years or even more for any member of ur family to achieve what GEJ has achieve

And what exactly has he achieved? Even a palm wine tapper sees result at the end of his rounds. Jona has nothing to show. 2nd Niger bridge is nearing completion abi? Lol. Lagos Ibadan express repair at 1bn per kilometer! Import stove 9bn. Fuel subsidy scam over 1trillion and counting. Carry cash for pastor plane to go shopping for arms for the nation in shoprite south Africa? I salute am

Izunwa:
What's all this fuse about his choice of running mate As if it will make any difference?

Yaradua allowed Obj to give him an olofofo vp. Now see the mess we have all entered! It matters.

The APC will pick a yoruba Christian as vp, because between the supporters of GMB in the North and the AC grip on the South West, those are the biggest power brokers in the party. Only political neophytes thought Amaechi stood a chance. He is not a regional leader, and the fact that APC will embarrass Wike is not enough. He cannot promise to deliver his region. And Christian bigotry will ensure that Fashola, the obvious best choice, does not stand a chance because he is Muslim. But we will know by Tuesday or Wednesday, quote me!

Do you think TANbassadors and the failure from Otuoke like to deal with facts? Instead they will say Oby Ezekwesili is funding boko Haram with Buhari, and that because Tinubu is fighting them they have not been able to focus on anything productive for 6 whole years!
This list is excruciatingly embarrassing, as it should be for any sensible Nigerian who loves his country.

robinsoncrosoe:
ok.so what is the credibility of that apc chieftain.and if the apc guy hapens to be corrupt,hw will buhari jail him since he has collected bulletproof cars from him
Pls u apc janjaawweeedians shd stop sayin GMB will end corruption in nija.

Stfu! Does Jonathan have any credibility even from his teaching days. Has he even managed to rescue his own wife from illiteracy? Continue in you bigotry and stupidity, I know not everyone can be rescued from ignorance.

BackDatAssUp:
No it is not a common wealth. Lagos is for yorubas.

The oil in Niger Delta is not for you and your Ab0ki to squander

All these ethnic bigots. If lagos is for yoruba please, ask your people to start packing to go 'home' abi? You people are the problem with Nigeria. Lagos is a true Nigerian state. Everybody has their corner here. Shame on u!

Fake rubbish! Pdp apologists spreading the usual falsehoods.

Ethnic and religious bigots

Ngwakwe:
I thought President Jonathan is Ijaw and the presence of his kinsmen on the web is infinitesimal.

Do you mean religious bigots?

Jossyroyal1:
we don't want poor people in Aso rock.....because if he gets there he will be focused on stealing for himself and his generation unborn since he actually forgot to do so in his first regime...........

As your heart is, so your mouth speaks! Some of us Nigerians are different.

MalcoImX:
I understand at least to be no more than 1.49 million. If it's even 1.5, it can be regarded not as 1, since it can be rounded up to 2.

Don't mind them. The logic of the English language will defeat them in its complexity. You are spot on.

staymore:
I am not unaware of how things work in this country that is why one time Head of state, NNPC boss can not tell me such blatant lie that he built on loan, bought nomination form on loan etc and I belief him. Inasmuch as Jonathan is not a saint, Buhari can not tell me he is an angel just to get my vote.

He should tell that to his cows.

Buhari has never claimed to be an angel, but do you see him at owambe the day after bombs have killed our brothers and sisters? Has he told you stealing is not corruption? Have you seen his wife chasing government contracts? Have you heard he has major business interests anywhere? Not every Nigerian is as avaricious as you imagine. We don't all worship ill-gotten wealth and it's public display. That has never been GMBs style. If you have proof to the contrary please provide it. Did he hate igbo so much that he was recommending Dora Akunyili, who worked under him at ptdf, to Obasanjo that he doesn't even like? Did Dora not turn out to be a performer?

cyberguy72:
are u dumb? Cant u read? The weapons are for fighting piracy in the high sea

In other words, to fight his own people? Or to be escorting our oil thieves into international waters?

This is the irony of Nigerian ignorance. This supposed news has not appeared on one semi-credible news website, and yet here we all are frothing at the mouth? No wonder pdp feels so confident, an ignorant people are easily manipulated and deceived.

patpeypey:
Really! Hmm that means the maitama house is whose own? Lol! Nigerians will believe anything! Anyway Buhari ooo Jonathan ooooo same thing! No real change

Please give the street name of his supposed abuja house. Nairalanders will quickly investigate. You hapless liar!
