Beginning of crisis in the north. I dreamt of northerners attacking southerners and Christian in the north. And now wake up to this news. Southerners and Christian in the north, pls it is time to leave

Don't get it twisted. It's not about north or south, it's about GEJ provoking d entire nation. It would be delusional to think d north will boil & d south will be calm in d face of such national outrage. Don't blame d north, put d blame squarely at d door steps of Mr Clueless who clearly has gone mad & power drunk & can not see dat even in a banana republic u can't get away wit something like dis. Should dis be true, i hope he's ready 4 d fall-outs because he won't get away wit it. Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.

They should go and die. Who cares about what they think. They refused to sell armaments to us to fight BH and they said Israel should not sell to us. Now we are struggling on our own, rallying neighbourhood efforts and they are there telling us trash. We will survive on our own.

Hav u considered dat maybe d USA wit d kind of resources they hav know something about dis insurgency dat u don't know hence they refused to sell arms to perpetuate d insurgency?. Even d President recognizes d immense capabilities & resources of d USA, hence in an interview on NTA he kept repeating like a broken record - "America Will Know".
Helicopters hav been reportedly seen dropping supplies 4 d insurgents. d late Aziza, former NSA adviser who should know says BH is a PDP affair. He met an untimely death. d voting base of d opposition in d NE continues to be decimated daily while d govt spent all dis time fighting d insurgency wit kid gloves only to resolve to start serious fighting on d election dates. Only d gullible will see dis postponement dat has been actively canvassed by d PDP as a serious attempt to stem insurgency. At a glance, d informed will see dat dis is a desperate act of d ruling PDP to buy time to halt or slow d momentum of d opposition. #WeHaveDecided SAI BUHARI

GEJ, d clueless one is walking d Gbagbo route. Should he continue on dis ill-advised route it might not end well 4 him. #SayNoToCluelessness #March4Buhari

Just the way the Igbos supported Obasanjo, when the Yorubas left him with the short end of the stick. Just the way the Igbos supported Yaradua instead of Buhari.

Keep deceiving urself dat d igbo voted 4 OBJ because he was yoruba. Infact they voted 4 him because he was not d favourite of d yoruba.
If u think other nigerians bearing d economic brunt of dis clueless Azikiwe & his govt will go on dis way & vote 4 him again because of ethnic or religious considerations u ar on a long thing. SAI BUHARI

saintandsinnerz:
Why do yorubas hate gej so much? Almost all the yorubas I know hate gej and when you ask them why, some will say he marginalized the yorubas, some will say he is corrupt! While Some are just buying into the gej-hate bandwagon just for d sake of it. No tangible reason!

U need to keep things in perspective. d Igbo support GEJ because they can not rise above bigotry. Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion voted massively 4 GEJ but he squandered their goodwill on d alter of ineptitude & corruption.
Realizing this, entreaties were made to all political parties to join hands in a grand alliance to form a major opposition to d PDP & save nigeria frm d evil grip of corruption. Unfortunately there was a problem - while other tribes will in d national interest withdraw their support frm even theirs if cited for corruption, wrongdoing or incompetence, ndigbo will rather support even barefaced crimininalty as far as it is perpetrated by an igbo or as in dis case an Azikiwe whom they see as theirs. dis is shortsighted.

GEJ must be joking if he thinks Nigerians will repeat d mistake of "I had no shoes" of 2011 in 2015. How clueless is d guy?. Postpone it till eternity it will not break our resolve. He is on d homestrech of his inept presidency. SAI BUHARI

[size=15pt] Quotes from twitter [/size]

So,apparently,one of the reasons Boko Haram was frantically sustained has been delivered to #Nigerians tonight.

It is clear that this postponement decision, by @inecnigeria ,was forced. This has a lot of implications regarding #NigeriaDecides

It is strange that security agencies have a timetable for combating insurgents that coincides with the exact period planned for elections

This government has basically said they'd combat insurgency successfully over the next 6 weeks. Setting themselves up for more failure?

There will be reactions, hopefully peaceful and lawful. I think INEC's hands were forced by a dictator who needs more time to dance naked

There will be attempts, over the next few weeks, to disqualify @thisisbuhari and send Prof. Jega packing ahead of his full term in June

Let it be on record that even though Nero fiddled and IBB annulled an election that actually held, a worse coward has bared ugly fangs.

[size=13pt] Change isn't something that can be postponed or delayed, it can only be accelerated when the time has come. For Nigeria #ThingsMustChange

A king that is afraid to face the battle that will end his reign is one that only defers -- and accentuates -- his coming disgrace.

Writing on the wall ,אנמ ,אנמ ,לקת ופרסין Mene, Mene, Teqel, Upharsin God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end!

It is safe to say Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is behind the Boko Harram insurgency in #Nigeria by refusing to deal with terrorism until election . [/size]

Mr. Man if you can't produce data/statistics to counter what Transparency international said then you bettet shut up! I know you wouldn't have rubbished them if they had said that corruption has increased in nigeria. In fact you would have made reference to them to butress your point. Now their statistics didn't favour you and they have suddenly become unreliable. Please if you know u can't counter their statistics just shut up!

I'm not Iweala, d artful forger, who was cited by Soludo as a forger & manipulator of national data/statistics.
Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish. U can continue to throw tantrums & show ur ignorance on dis public forum if it makes u feel better. All I'm telling u frm knowledge is dat u should take many of d reports frm dis international NGOs wit a pinch of salt. I'm sure dat u ar among d gullible ones dat swallow hook, line & sinker d reports of groups like Human Rights Watch who allege human right abuses against our troops fighting boko haram. As i said earlier groups like TI, HRW etc ar used to arrive at a pre-determined narrative. d USA state dept even goes further by managing an array of extra-legal networks of NGOs & propaganda organizations like Movements.org dat recruit & train foreign protesters & support their efforts as they return home to incite unrest & regime change. In d developed world there hav been calls 4 Transparency International to stop their popular CPI as it's hard to see a justification 4 its continuing publication. I know what u don't know. Many of TI's reports ar deficient as they rely on opinions of a small group of experts & businesspeople. Guy, shine ur eyes

Whynotthetruth:
lolz...because they didn't say what you wanna hear? Did you join in the looting as to know more than them or how did you get your own data

Do you believe the one that rated Lagos an APC state as the most corrupt state in Nigeria

dis is d mistake dat most nigerians make. because it is frm TI, it must be correct no matter how wrong it is. Guy, Transparency international is a wholly corporate funded special interest lobbying group. While they may include professional, dedicated, & immensely sincere people, d sum of their effort is to advance d collective interests of d corporations dat populate d board of directors & fund dem. Bottom line - they ar prone to all sorts of influences. At times they issue misleading propaganda to support a pre-determined narrative. It is worthy of note dat Soludo accused Okonjo-Iweala of forging & manipulating national statistics. dis may or may not be relevant.
However it's nothing short of gullibity to believe a report frm whichever quarters dat seeks to turn logic on its head by saying dat corruption is in decline under dis govt whose guiding belief is dat stealing is not corruption. Think! smh.

Whynotthetruth:
Bro, you aren't entirely right...to make it brief; economic growth is quantitative while economic development is qualitative... Wealth of nations being in too few hands may not necessarily be due to corruption. Also, why do we accept figures when it suits us and dispute same when it doesn't tally with what we "think". Transparency international said corruption isn't increasing rather we're better now. So do you believe them or politicians? who should be more correct with their data?

Story 4 d gods. On d issue of corruption in nigeria, d NGO, Transparency international is wrong. dis govt will go as one of d most corrupt in nigerian history.

Are You Aware? • That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni bought Nigeria's moribund M-TEL/NITEL for $252M?

Are You Aware? • That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni bought the Ibadan (PHCN) Disco Distribution?

Are You Aware? • That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni donated a whopping # 2Billion to President Goodluck's re-election fund on Saturday 20th December?

Are You Aware? • That President Goodluck Jonathan just after 2 days of receiving # 2B donation from Skye Bank Plc chairman, has approved increase in tariff of PHCN?

THE BIG QUESTION? Does it mean Chief Tunde Ayeni's so-called donation to Goodluck re-election was actually an investment with an RoI (Return on Investment) to be borne by the ordinary masses? Another reason to vote for #CHANGE. SAY A BIG NOOOOOOO!!! to heartless increase in TARIFFS. Please Re-broadcast for the sake of the cheated Masses

Do u also know dat Arabian Amlak for Investment Limited is right now in court. They feel it's preposterous that they made an offer of  $919,999,999 to buy Nitel/Mtel only for it to be sold to Tuned Ayeni's NATCOM for a paltry $252.25m.
I think dis Tunde Ayeni guy could actually be a front buying 4 someone. It happened under Abacha when Dankabo was rumoured to be fronting 4 him. d truth however came out after d two of them died & their children went to court over d ownership of Durbar hotel, kaduna which Dankabo had bought in his own name 4 Abacha during d privatization.
Since d days of d TCPC under d goggled one, Abacha to d days of BPE under OBJ & GEJ, privatization in nigeria has never been about promoting efficiency but about asset stripping, sharing of our national patrimony & concentrating d assets of our nation in d hands of a privileged few. d govt corporations, infrastructure etc built over many years & generations & dat should rightly belong to our children & grand children now belong to a cabal of govt sponsors in deals dat reek wit corruption & infamy.
Where ar d proceeds frm privatization?. Nigerians hav lost their companies forever wit d lands, buildings & properties & d proceeds frm these sales hav been looted. It's really, really sad.

. Jonathan met with the Queen of
England.
He asked her:
JONATHAN: How do you run such an efficient
government? Are there any tips u can give to me?
I want to help Nigeria.
"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing
is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Jonathan frowned, and then asked,"But how do i
know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen replied, "Oh, that's easy, you just ask
them to answer an intelligent riddle.
The Queen pushed a button on her intercom.
"Please send David Cameron in here, would you?"
David Cameron walked into the room and
said,"Yes, your majesty?"
The Queen smiled and said,"Answer this riddle.
David, your mother and father have a child, it is
not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is
it? "Without pausing for a minute David Cameron
answered,"that would be me." Yes, very good,"said
the Queen.
Jonathan went back home to ask his Vice
President Sambo
JONATHAN: Answer this. Your mother and your
father have a child, it's not your brother and it's
not your sister, who is it?
SAMBO:."I'm not sure, let me get back to you."
He asked all his staff in the Office but none could
give him an answer. Finally, one day, VP Sambo
ran into Januzaj.
Sambo asked, Januzaj
SAMBO: Your mother and father have a child and
it's not your brother or sister,who is it?"
Januzaj answered sharply, "That's easy, its me!"
Sambo smiled,and said "Thanks!"
Then he went back to speak with President
Jonathan.
Sambo: Sir, I have the answer to that riddle, It's
JANUZAJ
Jonathan got angry,he said to Sambo. "No wonder
Nigeria isn't moving forward, I am Surrounded by
Dummies.! The answer is David Cameron!"

[b][s]Amaechi will so suffer after this elections. That is a fact. I give him may 29th he would be busy crying his eyes out. Amaechi my advice for you. I was once like you, following hausa people until my eyes began to open. They would make sure you are enemies with your fellow christians, get necessary informations from you, use you like a fool, then they will DUMP YOU in such a way that your fellow christian brothers would not even use a 20m pole to touch you not to talk of helping you (because they must have seen you as a betrayer hence lost confidence in you). They would make you hated. Goodluck is soooooo wise to have ran to his fellow christians because this is what will make him win. FACT! Have you guys ever noticed(for those of you with hausa friends) that whenever you are together with them, when they see any of their fellow islamists, they so much abandon you to the extent you will feel like nothing. They are such fanatics.
Nigerians tell me if true true dem no wan islamize us, wetin be the meaning of that Arabic inscription for our naira note? Nigeria na Arabic nation?
Why is it that they always bite their teeth whenever a christian is in power (even though the christian is trying his best)? It was done to obasanjo, now goodluck
Mtcheeeeeew. Amaechi would be dumped no matter what. They are only using him in other to make him an enemy of christians and to get the secret of christianity (I.e how they can capture christians to vote for them) shikenan! After that, they will throw him into a THRASH CAN! I HAVE SAID SO. You guys will bear me witness GOD's Grace because I SAID SO[/s] [/b]

U ar a fanatic & d Christian version of boko haram. U ar a bigot & a danger to society. I'm ashamed dat someone so hateful & bigoted can claim to serve d Jesus dat i serve. When u claimed to be a Christian, i experienced how it feels when muslims ar lumped together wit extremists like boko haram. Guy, u ar in serious need of deliverance. How did we get here?. Why so much ethnic & religious hate?. dis post is no different frm what a boko boy will write about Xtians. How can any patriot like dis utterly divisive poo?. smh

What did he say?

He explained his party manifesto. He gave his plans on security, corruption & d economy & how all these were really inter-related. He went down memory lane & told us about how d refineries used to produce enough petrol 4 local consumption. He told us how d NNPC pipelines were built thereby stopping d distribution of fuel by road not too long ago wit d attendant saving in costs, human lives & prolonging d longevity of d roads - bottom-line : we must refine petroleum in nigeria. In a survey conducted when he was in NNPC, Nigeria was found to be capable of making more money frm gas than petrol. He would look into dat. He addressed d issue of power generation & how he would address d distributive aspect. He talked about mining, construction etc. He said quite a lot & lived up to what some people hav always known about him. He is very well informed & experienced. d media propaganda against dis man is really unfair. He has my vote.

GMB has no qualifications or good past records. The problem is u guys will swallow whatever hook or shit they throw to u. What did he do the loans he foreclosed on where just payed by OBJ plus penalites.


If APC tell u guys that IBB is the new nominee the same ppl will say Sai IBB

So basically u guys r anywhere Belle face.

Buhari is so senseless that when he loses against Jonathan I can bet with u that he will still contest against the next aspirant in 2019.

do u know why? Because be is after the power and privilege s of office

Me get my information frm APC?. Maybe u get ur own info frm Okupe's Twitter handle. Ur level of ignorance of nigerian history is shocking. My support 4 d People's General predates APC because i know what u don't know. I don't care 4 d PDP & APC but I care about d patriot, GMB.
Buhari took over nigeria in d worst economic recession in our history. d thieving politicians of d NPN d ancestor of d current PDP looted d nation to bankruptcy to d extent dat no one would borrow d heavily indebted Nigeria any more money. There was no food, no money. Soap, milk, sugar etc popularly called essential commodities disappeared from d shelves just like in Zimbabwe. d federal govt could not pay staff salaries. Few states were able to apply d IMO FORMULA - (half salary) pioneered by Kalu Idika Kalu d then Imo state comm 4 finance. Multinationals like kingsway, UTC, PZ etc left d country. Daily more people became unemployed. In short d economy collapsed.
When GMB took over he paid a huge part of d external debt incurred by d thieving politicians, d rest of which OBJ paid recently . He rejected d IMF loan & its slavish conditionalities. He refused to devalue d naira & thru economic ingenuity he kept d inflationary rate between 3-5% & d exchange rate at $1 to 1 naira. He reversed d rot of d Shagari years & made d economy & d country buoyant again.
Hahahaha even GEJ knows dat he has lost dis election. It's no longer about APC or PDP, it's about us & d masses hav decided dat stealing is indeed corruption. GEJ ouuuuutt!

That is how quality is compromised. Successful companies their minimum entry requirement is a BSC no stories.

Buhari never saved an economy in 83 to 85 he worsened it. The facts r out there u people.fabricate everyday

There is clearly a lack of quality in ur BSC or whatever u hav if ur idea of a quality leader is GEJ who has a PHD in d study of animals but when it comes to leadership we call him clueless because he is confused, overwhelmed & doesn't appear to know what he's doing. Infact, he has been described as an embarrassment to all PHD holders by no less a person than a notable doctorate degree holder & former VC of EKSU, Prof Akin Oyebode.
Based on their performances while in public office, i would anyday, anytime take GMB's qualifications to lead dis nation over dat of GEJ who has shown clearly dat he doesn't hav d bandwidth to run dis complex & intricate country.
Knowledgeable people know what GMB did wit d economy & dat is why decades later & inspite of vicious media attacks people wit a sense of history still yearn 4 d good old days when Buhari was at d helm of affairs in our nation.
Come Valentines day, we shall giv d People's General a historic mandate to clear d rot of d clueless GEJ yrs.

Mhmm,if our refineries were producing enough petroleum products for the country during his time,did he tell us why he signed a deal with Petrobas of Brazil to be exporting crude oil to them for refining and importing refined petroleum products frm them?

They were not refining 4 us. It was an ingenious, creative, & highly successful idea. It was a barter  arrangement wit Russia & Brazil whereby we gave dem crude oil & they gave us CKD 4 our industries.
d thieving politicians whom Buhari eased out of power had run d economy to bankruptcy. d IMF saw an opportunity to hold our country to ransom & foist on our hapless & severely weakened nation d neo-liberal economic policies of d IMF wit its several slavish conditionalities including d devaluation of d naira. GMB called their bluff. He rejected d IMF loan & refused to devalue d naira. His economic team under d then min of finance, Dr Onaolapo Soleye devised dis ingenuous system of barter 4 oil. It was highly successful & it stabilized d economy. d inflationary rate was kept at between 3-5% & d exchange rate at $1 to 1 naira. SAI BUHARI

In a country were even a cleaner needs a B.Sc certificate to gain employment...but here a man who can't show us his certificate is who u want as president...
Does he knows how it feels to study..read day n night..spend money here n dere juz to attain academic excellence..

If he has practically shown no interest in furthering himself academically since 1961 juz like OBJ did how den will he revamp or "change" d educational sector...

A man who cannot even debate against fellow candidates is who u want as a president.?

A man who in several occasions instigated violence in ds country e.g post election violence 2011...

I won't go further but pls if sm1 will earn a masters and still find it difficult to gain employment in did country den a man without certificate should not vie for any political post talk more of being d president...

N to those saying even though GMB brings his NEPA bill as certificate..I tink u should re think...

NIGERIANS BE WISE

Stop holding on to straws. We ar looking 4 a leader.
GEJ has a PHD in d study of animals but his govt will go down in nigerian history as one of d weakest, most corrupt & clueless.
GMB is an alumni of d prestigious US War College & also an alumni of d institution now called d NDA. His secondary school released his statement of result. Cambridge also released it on their websites but u TANoids who suffer frm OCD, "d doubters disease" will always do what u do best - doubt. No surprises there. Some of u ar so delusional dat u even doubt d Chibok abductions. OCD bad ooh. smh.
