Flets: If you reason a little bit, you'll figure out it's too late. Your votes won't count especially when it's obvious the odds are against them (Buhari ain't GEJ).
The fulani cabal would not hand over presidency to a non-fulani until they are done executing the script.
Wrong. That is what they will be happy for you to believe. If the elections were to take place in only one state, it might be easy for them to rig but then it won't be since the interests against rigging will also be concentrated there.
Anyway, why do you think it would have been hard for anybody to rig against Fashola when he ran for second term? It is because the vast majority of the people were with him. You did not need to pay thugs to physically assault anybody trying to rig.
The same stage is set for 2019. You do not need to pay people to be ready across the board to lynch any kind of attempt at rigging. It will be a thing that even the security forces cannot do anything about. This is what happens when a great majority of the people naturally have a unified position in any elections, whether for or against anybody.
That is why it took a military order to stop the legal announcements being made when Abiola became president.
Buhari is gone.
The only way he can stay is by throwing Nigeria into confusion (which he may secretly want, thinking there will be opportunity for Jihadists to advance their course in the midst of a nation thrown in chaos.
But even in that event, he will still not emerge leader of Nigeria. Jihadism will still not win and it will just be a mess for him, those he may be working for and his legacy, which he seems not to realize is on track to end in permanent tatters as far as earth is concerned.
I think he inwardly counts or the glory that can be earned from playing a crucial role in a fundamental Islamist agenda.
However, that glorification day will never come.
I remember how the man who killed Abraham Lincoln thought he would be considered a hero by his people (in the south).
He was shocked how they thought he was a murderer and not a hero and how he would have to be a fugitive in his beloved south.
I think it is over for the president. Not in the sense that he won't be in office after this tenure but in terms of the desired honour for his legacy.
If you scratch your balls while toasting me, be it stylishly, codedly, swayingly, thigh-rubbingly or outrightly, you may as well look forward to a life without me in it!
Like guys, seriously? Scratching means you're promiscuous! Scratching means because of your promiscuity, you have contracted an infection so viral that you can't hide it.
I...I...don't want to be a part of that

Truly, guys have just formed the habit. No infections but it looks really somehow sha. Trouser crotch area grabbing sometimes is to adjust boxers within.
resurgentxtian4: You are not even happy he spoke in Defence of Fulani.
Just keep pushing your luck in Nigeria and see the result of your barbarism before the year runs out. The south/Christians are ready for your rubbish.
Let me make it clear that although these fulani killers believe they are killing for their god, allah, christians cannot (and must not) fall for the devil's bait of turning this into a Muslim against Christian thing.
Even though Muslims are against Christians, we must realize that the killing Muslim believes the those practicing hinduism, judaism, etc (any kind of religion that is not his, actually) should die, should be killed by him.
So Christians and every other member of society (whether Christian or not) should recognize any sect that believes it is their responsibility to kill others who do not share their religious believes, is actually essentially a criminal organisation. The members should be punished according to the laws of the land.
If a pastor or hindu kills somebody because he believes God almighty wanted him to kill that person on God's behalf, will we say "Well, he may continue. He is religiously confused"?
If a set of Bhudists announce that all those that do not believe as they do will be killed by them on account of this failure to believe, will we say "Go on living among us with this believe" after they kill 5-10 innocent people?
You see, inasmuch as we will round these people up and put them in jail and prosecute them for for the low murderers they are, every muslim who thinks he should kill because people do not believe as he does should be rounded up and jailed for being part of a criminal gang, and moreso, any that actually kills, should be incarcerated, tried and punished accordingly.
Is there anything that makes it normal for killing due to mad reasons muslim killers have to go unpunished?
Is there anything about it that elevates it beyond the foolish criminal killing that it is?
ItsMeAboki: Medicine after death, na only today they have been killing the Fulani; why didn't he first condemn the ones they have killed in his own state - what a hypocrite.
He did come out strongly against the killing that happened in his own state, and very swiftly too
Forex trading is more of a personal thing, a personal game.
Just like chess or golf.
In the end, you are the only one with the right to place trades, your decisions are final, and you bear full responsibility for all the trades you take.
The grammatical error in what the op wrote is more important than the matters concerning our country's well-being spoken about in the interview to tunjiajayi.
He will cling on to that, it would seem, so far as it can successfully distract from the contents of the most important things that matter to us all as a country right now.
These people posting on this thread just want attention.
GEJ is not contesting and has no desire to. He is a happily retired man. This is for others who come on to this thread not to do this thread the dignity of much attention or any response.
We know the things that need attention now and everyone knows them.
Not Jonathan's administration or Babangida's administration or Gowon's administration.
I sacrificed this response just to remind others (that may come in) that this thread does not deserve the dignity of a response.
I have not mentioned the OP here and will contrive to not respond to the OP or anyone else here that may mention me.
I see. There was no need to experiment with this APC. I didn't like the PDP but when I saw the APC getting formed, I adopted the position that there is more hope trying to improve from PDP to something better.
The only state, in my opinion, that has good justification for being APC is Lagos state.
Excellent performance has earned them what they now enjoy there.
Minister of Information and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has responded to Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to Buhari.
In a statement obtained by PoliticsNGR, Lai Mohammed listed Buhari's achievements and gave reasons for the government's problems. The statement read;
"We have read the press statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the State of the Nation.
For the record, Chief Obasanjo is a patriot, and he has proven this time and time again. We appreciate what he said concerning the Administration's performance in two out of the three key issues that formed the plank of its campaign: Fighting corruption and tackling insurgency. Specifically, the former President said President Buhari must be given credit for his achievement so far in these two areas. We thank him for this.
* According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBC), headline inflation has fallen for 11 consecutive months, standing at 15.37% as at Dec. 2017. This is the lowest inflation rate since Jan 2017, and it has met and surpassed the target set for inflation in the Administration's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).
* Our determined implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) has stopped the hemorrhaging of the treasury. Some 108 billion Naira has been saved from removal of maintenance fees payable to banks, pre-TSA. The nation is being saved 24.7 billion Naira monthly with the full implementation of the TSA.
* The elimination of ghost workers has saved the nation 120 billion Naira
He failed to state that when they took over, the inflation rate was a single-digit figure. They succeeded in making it double digits. So what he is telling us now is that they have only brought it down to the still high figure of a 15% inflation rate
Notice that he said that was the lowest it has ever been since Jan, 2017 not anything on or before May of 2015, confirming that the new levels of inflation highs have been recorded after this administration took over
Esseite: Obasanjo made mention of these in his letter.... Nepotism in all ramifications, this time its to all other hard working Nigerians in other fields whom are not fulanis or rear cows.
Interesting and funny I mean the picture you put up there
SadiqBabaSani: The Vibe of the Moment is About Dr. Objs Letter to The President of Nigeria PMB.
With This development, If History Is Anything To Go By, Its Symbolically Red Card For Buharis Second Term Ambition.
What Worries Me In All of this Past and most Recent Political Unraveling is The probable Possibilities If Buhari Chooses not To Contest That Election.
In the Event that Buhari Does not go for A Second Term, Be Rest Assured An El rufai Or A Kwankwanso Will Definitely Get The Ticket and With The Backing of State Apparatus Be Rest Assured Nigerians Majorly Almajiris Will Vote En masse For Any Of that Duo Once they Whip Up Religious sentiment.
However; I Must Confess that Dreadful Is the Word I will Use to Describe The level of Callousness Of El rufai Or An Ethnic Champion Kwankwanso.....
In The Event that Any of these Two Becomes APC Flag bearer, If Mr Dogs And Baboon 'Buhari' Declines Contesting, The South Must Put Measures In place to Avoid The Current Gross disregard For Nigeria's Ethnic And Religious plurality...
An El rufai Or Kwankwanso is A Bad Bet for the Better South.
Cc: Pablo Armando Writes From Delta state.
I think you are wrong. I do not think an El Rufai, or a Kwankwaso presidency will spell doom for the south.
It will spell doom for the whole of Nigeria.
The rest of the world did not pause on account of the current leaders lack of grasp on what needed (and still needs) to be done within our country.
They won't pause tomorrow if we get these men in. They will just keep moving on as we slide backwards
Then in shame (because other Nigerians reached out as they should to their fellow Nigerians that are hurting) they hurriedly put together a team.
They did not condemn the killings but said others (who showed the natural sympathy that the killings have evoked) were trying to score cheap political points.
As far as I am concerned, I think they do not see that that visit has turned out to be another political and image blow administered unto themselves by themselves.
All they should have done was commiserate.
The mistakes here were: 1). Paying a visit only because others did and they would start looking seriously bad if they did not visit to commiserate. 2). Consciously choosing not to condemn the killings carried out by the terrorists 3). Mentioning that the others who paid their visits were doing so to score cheap political points. This last one they should have NEVER mentioned because by saying that, they openly declared to the Benue people the unspoken but core important motivation behind their visit - politics and not sympathy.
booblacain: At least he had the courage to speak out, I give him credit for that.
One thing he pointed out which I strongly agree with is that Buhari does indeed have "some" intentions to do well, but he is not capable of it. Good intentions do not necessarily translate to capability and that is one thing most geniune(not the charlatan) supporters of Buhari refuse to understand and accept.
Where do you place his good intentions in his handling of the fulani herdsmen killings?
Bede2u: As if we dont know If a 1 hour TV programme had to be aired to show you something, just know that its propaganda. I thought channels TV had class? To allow their station to be used for a Buhari propaganda is a sign that they are as trashy as NTA
I am not an APC supporter but you know if a customer pays for airtime on their station, they will collect the money and air (so long as what is being aired is not illegal).
I don't know what you sell but airtime is what TV stations sell.
You will not turn away a client from patronising you simply because that client is the government. I feel certain you will make that sale to happen.
Besides, everyone knows that even though Channels leans towards APC, paid-to-be-aired documentaries do not necessarily reflect the views of the tv station on which they are aired
EvilMetahuman: I don't think pdp will have it that easy.
Agreed though, buuhari is a curse.
I want us to voice out our support for Ibrahim Shekarau. He is a credible one in my view.
He had zero riots in notorious Kano all through his time as a governor.
He is the one who made Nuhu Ribadu, El-Rufai and PMB look incompetent in the 2011 presidential debate that GEJ did not attend.
Let us lend our voices to him, as this will let the PDP know that he provides a greater chance of winning than Atiku. At least a greater chance than they initially thought he had
He would chant, "All we are saying..." and the crowd would respond "Give us more SARS!"
He stayed at the fore-front of that rally leading the "Give us more SARS!" chant
I want him to remember this when he wants to ask us for our votes any time soon.
I want us to remember too.
That he neither got the PDP ticket nor succeed with the other party he defected to in 2015 does not mean he should stoop so low.
He did not have to go with the APC crowd to that extent, pretending he does not understand the reason why the legitimate SARS is being unfavourably spoken of. Pretending he does not know we all know SARS is a legitimate body now notorious [/b]for carrying out [b]illegitimate activities.
emmie14: You guys should stop media fight and face the realities. The issue here is not about Yoruba and Igbo perpetual misery and hatred towards each other but Fulani's mischief , misconduct and public nuisance to farms in the middle belt and South in general . Rather than condemning evil you chose insults between Yoruba Igbos. Shame on you. Real elites of Igbos and Yorubas are busy with positive reasoning consigning issues that matters. Respect yourselves.
Exactly my thoughts. There was no need to begin abusing another person. To go off the issue just to call someone 'afonja' Totally unnecessary
goaldynman: You were making sense until you showed you are an Ewedu guzzling ethnic bigot!!
Daboom I notice Igbos are the only ones here that abuse other people even when those agree with their position.
That in my view define the state of being abusive
So revealing his ethnic group is what drained the sense from what he said in your view.
All the significant areas in which he agrees with you are suddenly not sensible anymore up to the point that you find it alright to call him and ewedu-guzzling ethnic bigot.
So who has put on the robe of an ethnic bigot by this action?
Do you know how hard it is in life to get others to agree with you on stuff?
