Jesusloveyou:No. It can be forged, but he knew the disgrace would be too much to bear. He is not that foolish to go with forging something from the UK so he provided no results. As for the bribing, is there any evidence to prove the money was not given to the judge presiding over his case by Buhari's lawyer? Has the lawyer denied? 1 Like |

nwabobo:Trust me, I know. I have had to be close to 2 very dear people to myself who passed away after long battles with cancer. Surgical intervention works very well with early detection. However, you can research the reason why chemotherapy is preferred by doctors in the US. Also, read up on "chemotherapy fraud". Additionally, Non of conventional medicines established remedies is as good as (and you wont believe it) the right change to your diet In fact, making your diet right when you don't have any cancer drastically reduces the chances that you will ever get any cancer. I know of a Med doctor (in NNPC) whose wife was in critical condition and was going to be operated upon. He was urged by someone who had a great influence on him to call of the operation (even though the big personalities, his superiors were already nearly on their way to PH to perform the operation. Upon correctly changing what his wife consumed almost 100%, it was in the house she slowly recovered on her own. Of course they prayed too. Now most of the foods the bible instructed the Jews to avoid, it has been discovered by modern science, are harmful to the body. Many also are carcinogenous. |

It is my believe that President Buhari had a form of cancer. The decision was made that he should go to the UK for treatment. But I think that is where the root of the current trouble most likely lies because... ...when he went to the UK, the only thing conventional medicine (at that level) knows to do with cancer is... ...administer chemotherapy. Now what is there to be said of any kind of treatment after taking which your hair begins to fall off. Chemotherapy is poisonous to the body. Conventional medicine itself acknowledges all the weaknesses of chemotherapy and your doctor himself will also tell you how highly toxic the therapy is. It has been wondered by many why this is still being used on people. After chemotherapy, the individual gets weaker. May even look sicker. These things have happened to the president and so he does not want to appear before the Nigerian public that way (not a bad decision at all). This is just a further exacerbation of the fact that the president is sensitive to being publicly declared ailing (his opposition labelled him "old and sick" during the campaigns). Now my take is if he hadn't gone to London, the physicians would not have volunteered their first choice poisonous therapy for him. It has been established that certain foods fight cancers very efficiently. Certain extracts from certain plants. He would have been at least as strong as he was before leaving (and not needing further time to be stronger thanks to chemotherapy) if he did not go that route. Now a far more unacceptable and underlying but largely ignored story directly related to this is the fact that last year, over N3billion was allocated to the Aso Rock clinic (and this year, about the same amount is being proposed) but the president still needs to travel all the way to the UK for medical checkup and health-related issues. If that is the case, why was N3.2 billion spent on the Aso Rock clinic in the first place. Did that amount actually end up being spent on the clinic? How much of it was actually spent? Now to be honest, I believe if treated in Nigeria, the involved doctors may have recommended chemotherapy for the president but I want to use the opportunity of the president's health to draw attention to the absurdity of using chemotherapy to treat anything. Like I said, what can be said of a treatment, which when taken, makes your hair start to fall off. *Modification Clearly, a huge amount of what I am saying rests on the [b]assumption [/b]that he has some form of cancer |

Jesusloveyou:To be honest, it is not really easier. If it is proven to be a forgery, he will be qualified to face jail term and that is double jeopardy because not only will he be confronted with the consequences of the forgery, there will be no need to wonder anymore if he has a certificate or not. At the level at which Nigerian politics is played, any forgery can and will be identified. The resources are there to apply the best intellectual and physical resources in determining that forgery. Besides, he will have to be forging a stamp and signature from Cambridge (on a certified true copy) so it is a bad and terrible trap for him. He will have both the UK and Nigerians after him. 2 Likes |

Please, let it be known that South-southerners do not speak like this. We do not call anyone ridicule names like the one the OP used to refer to Yorubas. Easterners have their own ridicule name for us. Please let the OP and others like him forsake their imagined alliance with the south-south in calling other people of different ethnicity ridicule names. The south-south does not suffer from the illusions that plague the eastern mind. It is interesting to see how even a political gesture to the south-south from folks like the op is highly undesireable. Can you imagine claims by the op that ...the north bowed to GEJ because of the leverage his region had on the polity? If you think that statement is a gesture of friendship to the south-southerners, please we completely and totally reject the reckless ball you mindlessly toss around GEJ emerged because the country liked him and rallied behind him, not necessarily because of "the political leverage that the south-south had". We DO NOT have the bereft-of-wisdom brand of being, where we declare that we are superior to others and therefore, expect them to support us unconditionally on account of our declaration of superiority. And I am aware that this act of political unintelligence was smeared on GEJ in the run up to the 2015 elections when Igbos went about peddling stories and ideas that suited their imagination (dexteriously claiming that it was the Igbo votes in the North that gave GEJ a victory in 2011, whereas we know that both northerners in the North and southerners in the north voted for GEJ in that year) This post is to help people like the op to keep their misdemeanours to themselves and their kind. We in the south-south have always been called derogatory names by people from the op's ethnic group, even if we have been culturally and socially more developed than them from pre-colonial times (the white man had to pay taxes to our kings and chiefs to do business in our area whereas the white man had to appoint warrant chiefs in their own area in order to do business smoothly in their own area). Suddenly, GEJ emerges president and they pretend we are (or have been) their partners in their misplaced emotions of rancour which they culturally hold against every other people in Nigeria. As long as I have the time, and I see nonsense written like this, I will respond to it and straighten some minds up a bit. At times I will ignore too, but when I do, it means I do not consider the write-up worth responding to, or I am just too busy with projects and work at hand.

It is a paradigm shift that is needed, and not necessarily a shift from party to party. Not from PDP to APC. In fact, to avoid a negative paradigm slip, I chose not to vote Buhari. But in 2019, we must remember that it was supposed to be about where we want to go as a country. I suspect people may want to punish the APC by not voting for them but then again, that will still be an evolution of the collective Nigerian paradigm, in its journey to what it becomes in the future |

A flock of sheep have been plagued by lions and all kinds of predators continuously for years. Then a small pack of wolves (still predators) say "We can't take this any longer. Come over in this direction and let us lead you over to safety from all these other predators" What do you think will happen to the sheep who agree to follow them? If the sheep indeed follow them, how much respect do you think those wolves will eventually have for (or show to) the sheep? |
| Politics › Re: Amechi Is A Lucifer,psychiatric Patient-wike Reacts To APC Meeting With Ag VP. by coolscott(m): 12:39am On Feb 16, 2017 |
The VP was hosted to a town hall meeting in Rivers State. By their nature, these town hall meetings are not places where you go and start opening political wounds and throwing darts at people you think have offended you within the polity before the federal govt. They are not, by their nature, a platform created so that people can draw out their political swords And so the first day, this tone was set, with the clergy and elders of the state. The PDP (which is the party in power in the state) really could not have turned the event into an avenue to sling mud at the APC. But somehow, it seems Amaechi was not happy the way in which it ran smoothly without any jabs being thrown. So he organised/agitated (as it now seems) for a second day saying that important voices were not allowed to speak. An APC crowd was organised. The supposed voices that were not allowed to speak, spoke, and turned the event into a political rally. Amaechi felt like he had accomplished something. The APC crowd was excited. The VP was watching all this. In the end, the second day was not a town hall meeting were partisanship is put aside for the common good of the state. It was the cranky venting of political venum at those considered political enemies by a section of the political divide, at another part of that divide that was present to react to or cower at the slings of mud. The major stake holders of rivers state did not honour that second day's event. They probably saw it for what it was turning out to be - a political rally to massage Mr. Amaechi's empty but massage addicted ego and sling mud on people he just cannot stand |

I think he should not have run for president because 1) It will destroy his legacy and his legend. I said it would and that is why he should not have run for presidency but now, I think it is already well destroyed. 2) It is the office of the presidency that is making him sick. The stress is very much. As a popular American radio personality said about a week ago, there is a reason why every president leaving the white house has grey hair. 4 Likes |

For two weeks, Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s septuagenarian president, has been out of action, receiving medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness. His absence has sent the rumour mill of Africa’s most populous nation spinning, with frequent erroneous reports that the president is dead. The tragedy for Nigeria is that policymaking has been so ponderous during the 20 months since Mr Buhari took office that, dead or alive, it is not always easy to tell the difference. Under Mr Buhari’s slow-blinking leadership, Africa’s largest economy has drifted into crisis. Brought low by the weak oil price, on which government revenues are woefully dependent, the system has been starved of dollars. That has driven businesses into the ground, people on to the margins and the economy into its worst recession in 25 years. What had been a growing middle class is being daily eviscerated. High inflation, especially for food, is damaging the poor in whose name Mr Buhari ran for office. There are signs that Nigerians — among the most resilient and adaptive people on the continent — are losing patience. This week, there were small, but rowdy, protests in Lagos and Abuja, at which demonstrators complained about their “missing president”. There is an irony that Mr Buhari, a retired major general, is missing in action. He ran the country as a military ruler in the mid-1980s after seizing power in a coup. In civilian guise, his leadership style has verged on the invisible. After winning power in 2015 on the fourth attempt at the ballot box, he set out at a pace that has marked his presidency: it took him six months to name a cabinet. Hopes that he had surrounded himself with a lean team of capable technocrats empowered to get policy cranking have come to naught. Policymaking — such that it is — has been crafted instead by a tiny cabal of loyal, less qualified, stalwarts. Mr Buhari has failed to articulate anything approaching a vision. During his campaign, Nigeria’s soldier-turned-politician promised to train his sight on three main objectives: to improve security, crack down on corruption and diversify the oil-dependent economy. Progress on the first two has been patchy, and on the third dismal. On security, Mr Buhari has managed to galvanise a demoralised army and make gains against Boko Haram, a terrorist organisation that had been metastasising beyond its northern base. Boko Haram has been pushed back into a north-eastern redoubt and across the border into Cameroon and Chad. But that displacement has been offset by security flare-ups elsewhere, most seriously in the Niger Delta where militants have been sabotaging oil production. Mr Buhari’s anti-corruption drive can be boiled down to a few symbolic gestures and a few high-profile cases against members of the previous administration. Yet, systemically, little has changed. The confused exchange rate policy — in which the central bank doles out scarce dollars at an advantageous rate — is a recipe for opacity. The dollar shortage is killing off industry rather than nurturing it. Read the full article here: https://www.ft.com/content/544e58ae-ed4e-11e6-ba01-119a44939bb6 4 Likes

| Politics › The Possible Reason For Buhari's Extended Health Related Vacation by coolscott(op): 2:53am On Feb 06, 2017 |
I have a feeling that these planned protests broke the president's heart. I have a feeling he could not really take it. I think it weighed too heavily on him. Coming back to the country (all the wahala) plus the possibility of something unprecedented pre and post 1999 (nationwide protests against a sitting government). I believe this affected him in such a way that both his aides (and importantly, his doctors) knew he should not come home yet to the source of his stress and possible catalyst to an early future deterioration of his health. |
