WisdomFlakes: Why can't all these security agents be deployed to fight Boko Haram?? 360,000 agents would overwhelm those gangsters. Or is it only during elections that this govt. sees it fit to deploy full-blown security forces?
Whether they fight boko haram or protect people during elections, it is still lives they are going to save. We cannot afford to have a repeat of 2011 where NYSC members were killed. Soldiers will be on ground this time around.
People filled the inside and outside of the stadium from 7AM, GEJ arrived by 5PM after being delayed in Anambra. A lot of people who were tired of waiting and thought he wouldn't come again left but the ones remaining were still enough to fill up the stadium
27naira: If the Nigerian Government had tackled the issue of Boko Haram without politicizing it and pointing fingers at everyone else but herself, Boko Haram wouldnt be the monster it is today...
How ridiculous we are still sticking our head in the sand while the monster grows..
Buhari and other northern elders politicized boko haram
Blame in on Jonathan! Those that like comparing Cameroon's reaction to boko haram with that of Nigeria always ignore these ones. Cameroon army kills 80 boko haram fighters - they praise Cameroonian government/military while ridiculing Nigeria's government/military.
missyAL: So you agree that Shagari was corrupt and his endorsement is irrelevant?
If Shagari was corrupt, tell me what anti-corruption warrior Buhari did to him after taking over power. Is it that he only plays lip service to corruption?
We cannot deny that power supply has improved, I packed up my generator long ago. Even APC are scared of promising 24 hours power supply, can anyone point to where APC promised that?
missyAL: Is that the same Shagari that was one of the most corrupt presidents in Nigerian history?
The same guy that allowed western policy makers to steal the country wealth through financial instruments ? The same mor0n that thought that the best way to increase the quality of life of Nigerians is by increasing their salaries at a point when the nation produced nothing and all the surplus wealth was spent on foreign goods which took most of the nations cash flow out of the country through importation?
Just checking.
And what did your anti-corruption hero Buhari do about it? He put him in a Presidential palace in the name of house arrest while his VP Ekwueme and other politicians were put in jail. Doesn't that confirm our suspicions about Buhari?
bogolobango: 10billion naira to draw a map inspecting the completed map of second niger bridge for good 6yrs
Igbos be wise Vote for change
TEAM FEBUHARI
I0 billion was used for . Dredging of the river . Construction of access roads . Importations of steel bars and other required materials. . Construction of a temporary dam to be used during construction . Settlement of claims and damages, and relocation of affected villages.
The Projects is too slow for my liking though, I wish the complete fund could just be released for JB to do an express job.
That granting of grazing land to Fulanis is an idea no sensible Igbo man would support. Even if they successfully pass the law in the National assembly, we would resist the implementation on our states with absolutely everything we've got.
Expert why not start your own site and make it the number one in the world? The Admin is making his mega bucks you are here admonishing him but something as simple as spelling words properly you cannot do. That has already exposed you as someone who doesn't pay attention to details, so you aren't in any position to criticise or advise.
OP you are trying to be smart but you made absolutely no sense. The Lagos - Maiduguri you gave as an example might be 744KM on a map but on ground the actual road will be a lot longer than that because it wouldn't be a straight line, there will lots of detours here and there. Besides there isn't just one route that leads to Maiduguri from Lagos, if all the roads on the different routes are worked on, you will find the total distance running into thousands of kilometers.
People should beware of Amaechi's game plan. He wants to force GEJ to use the stadium in the heart of the city rather than the one at the outskirts so that on the day of his campaign they can spread propaganda about how traffic in the whole city was shut down and people made to suffer ''just because the President came visiting''. That is their way.
He should use the Liberation stadium na, at least that one is a Federal stadium and is right in the center of the city. Maybe he just wants to be close to the airport.
Hahaha it looks like they already know the party one is going to vote for. The APC advert never appeared on my phone while checking my balance but that of PDP does.
"When this issue came to the front burner, I did what is expected -research. I called for the past INEC forms filled by Buhari the past three times he had contested for this office. In all of them, he filled them properly because there was no provision for proof of certificates/credentials. But now that the Electoral Act (2011?) is asking for proof of such credentials, INEC has complied by including on its forms, this requirement. Again Buhari filled all other sections of this form correctly. But when he got to the section asking for proof of credentials, he deposed to an affidavit. Without sounding very specific, that was wrong. It is for the candidates to provide proof to claims of certificates, not affidavit.' -Olisa Agbakoba SAN.
Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), said that General Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate from the All Progressive Congress (APC), could be disqualified from contesting the 2015 general election.
In a video of the Channels TV, Agbakoba said he had had a good look at the nomination form, especially as the current form for the 2015 elections is different.
The new form has a fragment titled ‘Produce Evidence Of Qualification’. In his own calculation, this part was not filled in properly by General Buhari and this might cause a problem down the line.
He said: “As lawyers we go for evidence. Based on the form before me, I do feel that the form has been wrongly filled. I saw in the papers yesterday … but I wished that the certificate was not published so that the distraction will not be there.
“The last thing we want is for General Buhari to be disqualified for non completion of the form. The truth is that he did not complete the form; he put in an affidavit that his certificates are with the army, that is non-compliance, so generally speaking General Buhari has not completed the form correctly.”
The lawyer added INEC cannot disqualify Buhari since the Supreme Court mastered the last time it disqualified Atiku Abubakar
“ I would rather that INEC did not but what I will says is that If INEC sees that the form is not completed, they might then write to the person or not publish the form… If you don’t fill it properly then you have no form. If you did not fill the form properly in accordance with INEC directive then you have not filled the form at all”, he said.
He added: “We are concerned with what the law says, the law says that authenticate your affidavit and you can only authenticate it by attaching originals of your certificates, so if we start by saying that the certificates are not there, we conclude by saying that what will the court make of it”, he said.
johnmartus: cheered pdp governorship booing outgoing governor that's a madness who present him? Wasn't elechi? If they born him well he should go beyond the agreement he sign with elechi that time you will know the real governor
Horus: No it is HNosegbe a Nairaland member who said this, Not GEJ.
You are a big idîot, what makes you think GEJ said it exactly the way the dubious OP put it? I watched the highlights in the news and his point was that if Nigerian youths have been well trained in the past like the ones he is sending for scholarship to the top 25 schools abroad, Nigeria would not be begging countries to sell weapons to us, we would be manufacturing ours. He emphasized that if his policy of providing youths with quality education continues, we will soon be manufacturing our own weapons. My explanation is actually meant for others because I still maintain that you are an idîot.
Eziachi: [s]Ask your self this, if all these massive crowd that all of you sort out and glorify has jobs, do you think that they will be at a campaign rally at 11am in the morning? If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolly turn up today in your neighbourhood, will go and watch them or not irrespective of whether you are a fan of their acting or their person? especially when you have every time in the world because you are unemployed?
These politicians are the celebrities in Nigeria peculiar way. Many people apart from those in uniform clothings who are paid to be there only came to see the people they normally see on TV, their tormentors. Some will go home full of envy of the lifestyle of those they saw and become ever more determined to vote against them or remain at home on the election day. Crowd at a campaign in Nigeria is down to high rate of unemployment, nothing to do, a free show, possibly something to eat or drink and some cases free T shirts, Wrapper and money may materialize.[/s]
You should say this whenever APC are flaunting the crowd at their rallies. I can see you no longer bother hiding your bias.
They booed Martin Elechi when his name was mentioned, but they love Goodluck and the PDP governorship candidate judging from the reception given to them.
