Nctrice: Guy C'mon, a simple google search would give you what you want... Beside hope you are reading the news, hope you followed the happenings in River state yesterday, you all that wanted Amaechi to go on a Tour, there is the outcome of the tour for you!

olapluto: If you have anyone who can gather as much votes as Buhari at this moment, please mention it.

Sincere9gerian: Yes, your master Buhari failed woefully in all the parameters of leadership. In fact, the woes of Nigeria today could all be traced to actions and inactions of the past leaders of Nigeria, including Buhari. He not only truncated a democratic rule but made matters worse by ushering Nigeria into over 18 years of DARK military dictatorship with NOTHING to show.

All the performing governors of the Second republic, including Jakande, were swept away in a senseless military coup. Imagine what Lagos would have been like today if the Lagos metro rail started by Jakande in the 80s was completed in those days. Imagine if Jakande had the vision to start such project in the 80s how much more subsequent democratically elected governors of Lagos would have done if the system was not truncated by power thirsty Buhari and his gang.

If you look at the bigger picture, you'll see that Buhari's 2 year rule in the 80s was a massive failure.

Insincerefool, debating with u on this issue surely will be a waste of my time so i wont even start it. To u he failed, so be it however am interested in the present. Tell me what Jonathan is doing differently away from the staus quo. Lets start with the almighty corruption? hat specific step is Jonathan taking to critically fight it? ho is he leading by example to curtail such?
U seems not to have any clue as regards this?

Sincere9gerian: But Buhari is one of the past leaders of this country. Buhari had an opportunity in 1983 to prove his incorruptible and messiahnic nature but he failed WOEFULLY. He couldn't even sustain a govt for up to 2 years. Yeye dey smell!

And how did he fail woefully as regards corruption? Av u consulted ur elders who I believe are better enlightened about this issue? Insincerefool, tell another lie.
Still waiting for u to highlight specific steps from Jonathan to fight the scourge or none exist
Yes the evil genius IBB forced him bloodlessly out and since he isn't the type desperate for power, he went to his farm.

Sincere9gerian: Well, GEJ became president only in 2010 but Nigeria gained her independence in 1960. Perhaps you can share with us how the various leaders of Nigeria between 1960 and 2010 "fought corruption"? I would have thought that if we have been fighting corruption since 1960, then by 2010 all forms of corruption must have been eliminated. GEJ would not have had any corruption to fight by now. However, if we have been fighting corruption from 1960 till 2014 without success, then something must be wrong with all of us as a people.

Sincere9gerian: Well, you've been searching for a strong incorruptible leader since 1960. Do we have such a person in APC at the moment? I wish you luck in your futile endless search

edogirl2: My No.1 priority right now is fighting corruption, and the only person I trust to genuinely pursue this goal is Mr Buhari.

God-willing, my first-ever vote in this country will go to him if he's presented.


All the talk about generational shift is nonsense. GEJ is one generation behind Buhari - how effective has he been?

If APC presents anybody else, even Fashola, I will not vote. Fashola cannot fight corruption - I know a bit about what happens in Lagos.

Sincere9gerian: You actually believe an INDIVIDUAL can kick out corruption in Nigeria? Bros, you'r sitting on a long long thing.

You guys in APC are more naive than I thought. Or is this just pure mischief?

If it was possible for a president/head of state to single handedly kick out corruption in Nigeria, why hasn't that happened since 1960 till date? Was Nigeria created yesterday? Is GEJ the first leader of Nigeria?

My guy, the SOLUTION to the problems in Nigeria lie in making necessary STRUCTURAL CHANGES and building STRONG INSTITUTIONS.

Unfortunately, the elites from the far north, who ruled this country for the most part of her history, have stood as stumbling block to much needed STRUCTURAL CHANGES needed for accelerated PROGRESS and DEVELOPMENT in Nigeria.

You guys in APC should not insult our intelligence with your gibberish

barcanista: APC is an Institution that can use its goodwill to garner votes for its candidate. It shouldn't be a Buhari Vs PDP. If APC is all about Buhari's Ambition then it is not worth to be taken serious. The APC has working Governors and leaders that has the Potential to garner votes if well marketed.

barcanista: Has Jerry Rawlings been reelected a civilian president? Need I remind you that Buhari refused to attend Council of State meeting between 2003 and 2007 because he felt that Obj rigged the 2003 election even when the court affirmed(rightly or wrongly) Obj's victory. He doesn't really believe in the Court.

barcanista: What is your point? How does this post relate to issues raised?

barcanista: His first post was long and so off-point. He talked about Buhari's northern popularity which is not the subject here and all other off posts

barcanista: Bros, Honestly I don't trust Buhari. I have tried to convince myself to no avail. If what I have read is to go by, Buhari will not take criticism lightly and the Press won't be spared(including social network). He will kick out corruption but His Human Right record is nothing to go by.

barcanista: Personally, I want the PDP out. They have exhausted their time with little or no progress. I want the APC in power but I don't just want another set of Politicians that will make one wish for the return of PDP. I believe there are credible leaders within the APC that are capable of dislodging the PDP. Consider protest votes and those that "don't just want PDP" again, they will most likely throw their weights behind the APC's candidate. The APC as a party need to get it right.

barcanista: Sir I am not doing comparison here. Change is not about defeating a corrupt Incumbent and replace him with a Tyrant. We have to look at his antecedents here. Beside, he isn't the only one in APC and APC wasn't form to fulfill his political ambition.

barcanista: Nowhere in my post did I compare the General and the Incumbent.

Excellent. This is clear.

Please can you tell me in What areas? Which of the Points that you don't agree with?

I only agree with 8 and 3 partially. Fine his alleged statement about abacha is discomforting but that doesn't suggest hypocrisy in fighting corruption like u suggest.

And also, is the General the ONLY potential candidate that is available in APC?

No he isn't but he is among the very few that can bring in the desired numbers.

Don't you think it is the role of the opposition to pass thru democratic process and present a Candidate with proven antecedent in order to defeat an incumbent and effect the change that we all seek?

Nothing suggest that Buhari if indeed wants to contest won't go through such process in apc.
Again, Buhari's antecedent by Nigerian standard is very much ok however it isn't required to defeat an incumbent in Nigeria. U of all people should definitely know this.

barcanista: And you still don't buy to generational shift? Are you not the same person that criticized Omisore's Candidacy for allegedly killing Bola Ige? Why did you? Double Standard?


BTW: Your defense didn't add up.

Omexonomy: chief demdemoron the biggest moro.n in nairaland how u dey? I can see moro.nic and idiocy runs wild in u and it is hereditary which means it is uncurable.

Omexfool the head of all Bastards on nairaland, are u still insisting that a gov has the power to reinstate a speaker?

Omexonomy: you this ill inform. When the speaker was impeached APC urchines in nairaland allmost pull down the roof now the governor has decided to reinstate the speaker. So how are u going to repair the roof u people have pull down?

Omexfool, again u have chosen to entertain us from ur truck load of foolishness.
So in ur daft state, a governor can choose to reinstate an impeached speaker?
Omexfool, i hope this foolishness of urs aren't hereditary?

ogmask: Una not dey tire sef?
Treat Amaechi like a gov pls. Akpabio does same and nobody talks about it. Ochendu of Abia, started campaings since last yr for senate. Recently, Seriake Dickson extended his tours to kalabari land in Rivers state and nobody said anything. Ofcourse nobody will will say anything because GEJ's name is mentioned for 2015. The CP should have talked it over with the gov instead talking to the media.
PEJ and Nyesom Wike held a big political rally recently in phc nobody said anything about it. Return Jonathan in 2015 and PDP will defeat APC does not sound like campaign to some pple.
Pple should be more civil in their appraoch to issues. Rivers state is already on fire and the police shuld knw this. I listened to an executive of the GDI yesterday on Nigeriainfo radio, his tone was like one in the war front. Talking without regards to the govt and pple of Rivers state
This is not how politics should be played in this age and time. We knw they are all thieve both amaechi and wike. So nobody should play god here.
They should just tolerate themselves for peace to reign.

elklehamite: When Rivers state Governor was prevented 4rm entering Ekiti state during her election ,APC & all those who doesn't see anything good in the ruling party's administration outrightly condenmed the action of the security forces (Army). But neither did the security forces nor APC told the world the reason(s) for stopping Gov. Ameachi. He was carrying a bullion van 2 Ekiti which he doesn't want the security forces to see/know the contents, which impliedly means he was carrying exhibits. Secondly, Lai Moh'd a spokesman of APC was said to be arrested in Osun state,the question is what was he doing there?He is 4rm Kwara state not & voting in Osogbo or are we saying he was an accredited election observer? Plse, lets try to be objective & not to allow sentiment to becloud our sense of reasoning/judgement. The opposition i think we desire for this country is that which should be constructive and not that which does not see any single action of the ruling party to be good.They should sometime give credit where they deserve and stop defiling the same office they are aspiring to be tomorrow.

What a clown
I have no doubt on my mind that the colored part of ur post was conceived, concorted and prepared by ur skewed brain for onward delivery to the gullible on Nl right
Secondly, if lai shouldn't be in Osun that day becos he is from Kwara, what was fayoses business in Osun? What about kumuji, even obanikoro all chieftains of the killer party who all aren't from osun?
U Av shown by ur analysis that u are one bias killer member.

soroptimist: See people already inputting silly and idiotic hasty conclusions of Marilyn Ogar's hazy reportage of what transpired in Osun

What will it cost the obviously political DSS to NAME and SHAME whoever it was that tried to induce them with N14million naira

Not until Nigerians think with their brains......

For me i dont buy this useless tale by Ogar........Name the person or shut up

OrlandoOwoh: The boy wants to get back at me and others that called him a coward for running a way from a forum member, Ilugunboy, after they booked a meeting in Ikosi, Ketu. I openned a thread where we jointly declare him a persona non grata on the politics section.

tsolz84: Ode;stop acTin like a yoruba man;u aint one;u dumb Liberian..

And the rants commences from the fool.

Gbawe: What a silly thread started by a poster with mindset destroyed by clannish affiliation for GEJ. First of all, the people of Osun have chosen their governor. Leave them to their choice and stop this talk that makes it obvious the Osun election, for you, was only about what assists the interest of GEJ and his misruling Party. The APC has nothing to worry about if lessons are learnt from the Ekiti and Osun election. What should worry clannish and ethnocentric backers of GEJ, like you, is the fact that Osun could not be turned against Aregbesola with the primitive efforts of the PDP to highlight an 'Islamisation' or "supporter of APC" agenda which seems to work very well in your region and on your kinsmen. The PDP's simplistically divisive ruse may have worked elsewhere but it is not tenable in the SW and bore no fruit against Aregbe same as it will do nothing for GEJ.

If Osun folks shunned the religiously divisive antics of the PDP to still see Aregbe as the man then you better believe that GEJ will be judged mainly on his very, very poor record. Don't try and take any consolation from the Osun election. Face what this election reveals which is that religious or ethnic scaremongering will not work in the SW as is the case for the SE and SS. At least there is always an element of independent pragmatism and unpredictability about the SW. Go and worry about you ultra-clannish and 'herded' region where all your folks have now 100% accepted the PDP, to the detriment of the indigenous APGA, and political choice does not thrive at all because the people of the region are, above anything else, sentimental and sectionally biased to the extent they have gambled entirely everything on a monumental failure who is only marking time and letting every corner of Nigeria down.

ahaika23: Yoruba boy. Quit talking what you do not know. All the trains and good roads GEJ is constructing for your people and making life more meaningful you think are as a result of daftness ba. Lots of kids are all over this forum typing whatever shiit that enters their egg heads

chukwudi44: PDDP WON IN 8 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND NOT 4.APC WON IN 22 LGA.THAT IS WHY I LAUGH AT THOSE WHO SAY GEJ WOULD NOT GET 25% IN THE SW

donnn: See celestial madness.........some people no dey tink oooo
Any Election that PDP has won or win are always rumoured to be rigged by foot losers........Think man
