After the voting we saw him interviewed by press men.
1. Did anyone notice he was chewing gum or licking sweet while answering the interview questions?
2. Did you also notice him say "I can't speak for INEC, Jega will speak for INEC. I have SPEAK for the presidency"?
3.Did you hear him say EID instead of IED?
4. Did you hear "Let us be patience with INEC"?
5. Did you notice his wife Who has been hyperactive during campaigns didn't say a word at the pooling unit?
I guess he is human like us and also makes mistakes.
Make una give this man a break.
I waited to hear Buhari's interview but I didn't even see him vote, I only saw him standing on the queue and afterwards left.
VOTE WISELY... Maybe Buhari transformed himself and secretly voted for Jonathan! |

Gwoza recaptured yet no pictures, no shekau, no chibok girls just statement gwoza is recaptured so go VOTE GEJ. It is callous wicked and heartbreaking that we allowed boys running on motorbikes with Dane guns and bows/arrow to drag our nation into the cesspit of violence and Hell it went through in the last 6years when all that was required was a determined and objective mind to root them up. What magic was done to turn the tide against these carnivores nothing, same Nigerian Soldiers are in the forefront of the fight yet the soldiers were crying for guns and weaponry to take on this boys.
They said they had could not buy weapon for 6years but they yearly took out 1.3 trillion Naira in the NAME OF DEDENCE BUDGET, if they could not purchase weapons as some countries blocked them, Were the monies budgeted in the first instance returned to the federation account for the five years they could not buy weapons they use today? So stupid seeing this country inhabited by moronic and dumb people who can't see through a government that does not give a DAMN.
We are celebrating something that shouldn't have happened in the first instance, 20,000souls lost, over 100,000 internally displaced, billions in properties and farmland/produce wasted and some useless dumb souls are shouting GEJ till 2019 like this is a news worthy of celebrating.
God rest the souls of all who passed on just because the Leadership of the country failed them.
difficult to reason this people allowed shekau had a field day raping, killing and destroying just to satisfy their corrupt and political goals
God punish all those who used the blood of the dead to further their objectives. Fool that appreciates nothing! |

emekauzor: Chad’s President Idriss Déby has been one of the silent leaders who have been fighting the insurgent group Boko Haram in Nigeria, he has really been of immense help since the Islamic group had been terrorizing men and women making them refugees in another mans land.
But he has something to share with us in a recent interview with international media, he really wants to hand over territories belonging to Nigeria and leave .
Mr. Déby showed no hint of triumphalism. Instead, he was frustrated, impatient: His men were stuck, still awaiting any sign of Nigerian forces who could come take over. He does not want to be holding Nigerian territory, he said. He wants to be on the move.
“We want the Nigerians to come and occupy, so we can advance,” Mr. Déby complained in an interview at his palace last week. “We’re wasting time, for the benefit of Boko Haram,” he added. “We can’t go any further in Nigeria. We’re not an army of .
While his tough, turbaned soldiers occupy towns in Nigeria recently ruled by Boko Haram, his up-to-date helicopter gunships are bombing the bloodthirsty sect in other places. Already, at least three important towns in Nigeria’s northeast — Damasak, Dikwa and Gamboru — have been taken by the Chadians. And his troops, after driving thousands of miles into the desert, are still in northern Mali taking on Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. / Why the emphasis on his " up to date helicopters"? |

But it no longer holds an edge, that's why Russia is focusing on SU-35's to counter the growing threat of the F-22, F-35(still in development), Gripen Jas39C/NG, Eurofighter and lastly the Rafale.
Since you dream so much can you explain why India the second largest user of the SU-30's outside Russia is currently opting to buy 126 Rafale fighters. Did you say Su30 is 3rd generation? Boy, I now know that I am dealing with dumbos.. Is this what the educational system in SA churns out? |

I bear the brunt of unemployment, not the Pastor....
I suffer epileptic power supply, not the Imams.....
When my landlord increases house rent, the Oba will not send me money to augment it..... When medical bills needs to be paid, I won't see the Obi....
When armed robbers show up in my neighborhood, the Emir won't be there to rescue me...
When time comes to pay exorbitant private school fees for my children because public schools that produced the likes of Soyinka, Chinua Achebe are derelict, no Militant will come to my rescue...
The roads leading to Obong's palace are bad, he has not done anything about it, how can he help me?
Exchange rate has plumeted while the economy worsened yet the Babalawo suffers in silence with me ad he is unable to use his juju to make our economic problems disappear...
My siblings and the children of the Chief who are graduates for the past 8 years have remained unemployed while he is powerless to help them...
So I alone will decide WHO IS MAKING ME GO THROUGH ALL THESE HARDSHIP, AND USING MY PVC TO TERMINATE HIS TENURE, IF I DON'T LIKE HIS POOR HANDLING OF GOVERNANCE! 4th time today.

Politics › Re: Who Is Richard Grenell,who Said Electing Gmb Will Be Disaster For Africa by charlos14: 4:40pm On Mar 24, 2015 |
drteer: [b]Ex American Envoy Richard Grenell has said electing Buhari as President of Nigeria will be a disaster for Africa because of Buhari's sharia credentials according to him. The PDP press has been agog with this news since it came out on March 19. In their desperation to discredit Buhari, Jonathan and PDP will go to any depth to use even the lowliest of persons to attempt to achieve their objective. Who is Richard Grenell? According to Wikepedia, Richard Grenell (born September 18, 1966) is an American media commentator and former diplomat. He is the longest serving U.S. Spokesman at the United Nations and briefly served as national security spokesman for Mitt Romney in his 2012 campaign for president of the United States. HE BECAME THE FIRST OPENLY GAY SPOKESMAN FOR A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, after being hired by Mitt Romney. He resigned after pressure from social conservatives and gay liberals alike. The PDP that has accused Buhari of going abroad to say he will repeal the anti-gay law has now hired a gay consultant to attack Buhari. So Jonathan has set another record, HE IS THE FIRST NIGERIAN PRESIDENT TO HIRE A GAY CONSULTANT to promote his campaign. Richard Grenell lives in California with his partner of nine years, Matthew Lashey, a media and entertainment company executive. This gay man "married" to another man is the PDP consultant telling NIGERIANS not to vote Buhari because he is pro-sharia. I dey laff o!! Having hired a gay man, we await the lesbian adviser of President Jonathan! For all we care they can hire Lucifer to threaten fire and brimstone against NIGERIANS. We will still vote Buhari. PDP and Jonathan have lost this battle. Sai Buhari/Osinbajo[/b][b][/b] Your report makes no sense as Jonathan signed the anti gay laws and besides why are you consigned with what a man sleeps with in his own home. The guy said the truth about Buhari's credentials. #SayNoToBuhari and Sharia |

Politics › Nigeria Pays Chad And Niger Soldiers by charlos14(op): 12:44am On Mar 23, 2015 |
Nigeria is bearing the financial burden of the operations by multinational forces against Boko Haram insurgents, findings by The PUNCH on Sunday have revealed. The troops from Nigeria’s neighbours – Chad and Niger – it was learnt in Abuja, receive N146.25m monthly as pocket and feeding allowances from the Federal Government. The sum is however different from that paid by Nigeria for fuelling of the operational vehicles of the foreign troops and other logistics, which our source did not state. A breakdown of the N146.2m shows that the 2,500 troops contributed by Chad receive N112.5m monthly while the 750 soldiers from Niger get N33.75m. Thus each of the soldiers from the two countries gets N45,000 monthly as pocket and feeding allowances, the same amounts paid their Nigerian counterparts. The joint war was initiated by the governments of Nigeria, Chad and Niger to flush out the insurgents from the North-East and to halt their incursion into the two Francophone countries. It was further gathered that the two Francophone countries, are in addition to the allowances paid by Nigeria, making demands for funding by the international community. Our source, who asked to remain anonymous because he was not permitted to speak on the issue, said, “Although, it is a joint operation, a kind of sub-regional collaborative effort, Nigeria is the only country funding the operations. “The arrangement is not such that each participating country funds its defence forces deployed for the operation. “Nigeria is funding the operation to the extent of providing the allowances for all the Chadian and Nigerien troops involved. “Apart from that, the country is also providing for the feeding of these troops and fuelling all their operational vehicles.” It was further gathered that in spite of the sacrifices being made by the Federal Government, the joint operation is being threatened by mutual suspicion. There are allegations that reports about the conflict in the international media are being manipulated by Chadians in the mission area to portray Nigerian troops in bad light. It was learnt that the Defence Headquarters was not comfortable with the slanting of stories to highlight supposed exploits of the supporting countries to the detriment of the Nigerian forces and indeed the country. The report that Chadian troops liberated Damasak, a border community between Nigeria and Niger on March 9, 2015 was mentioned as one of such. In it, the Chadians were reported to have killed 200 insurgents while liberating the town. However, the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah, told journalists on Monday that the town was still in terrorists’ hands. It was further gathered that the mutual suspicion was exacerbated by an incident which resulted in the killing of an unspecified number of Nigerian troops by insurgents on their way to Dikwa. The New York Times quoted the Chadian Foreign Minister, Moussa Mahamat, as having said that “the Nigerian Army has not succeeded in facing up to Boko Haram.” He had added, “The occupation of these towns, this is up to Nigeria. My fondest wish is that they assume their responsibilities. “Our biggest wish is that the Nigerian Army pulls itself together — that it takes responsibility in the towns. We are ready to disengage, right away.” However, the Director Defence Information, Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade, who dismissed the claim on Saturday, said, “It is not true that our soldiers are not willing to take over such communities. There is no town that our soldiers have liberated that is not being well secured and well patrolled at the moment. “We have always warned against irresponsible comments in this collaboration and we are not ready to join issues with anybody. We will do everything to sustain this collaboration.” Attempts to get Olukolade to comment on Nigeria’s financial commitment to the ongoing operation were unsuccessful on Sunday. Calls to his mobile telephone number did not connect as of the time of 8pm. http://www.punchng.com/news/bharam-nigeria-pays-chadian-nigerien-soldiers-n146m-monthly/On a side note, Nigerian soldiers need to be paid better than the soldiers of Niger and Chad....  |
