onthefence: When you people where jumping like Monkeys that "our South-South" brother must emerge as President you forgot that it will be "to your tents" I laugh in Nepotism.

kennytidistar: YORUBA WILL NEVER VOTE HAUSA THAT IS THE POINT!

T9ksy: No one in the south will vote for buhari even if he choose Jesus as his running mate.

manny4life: What you perceive does not translate to what I receive. People interpret information how they choose, they don't have to be true to you, but to me as well as other who believe in it. I won't speculate on what and what he's done in the past, however, his present speech on different issues surrounding Nigeria is enough to assess what sought of leader he will make. A leader who indirectly talks about shedding other people's blood other is NOT worthy of leadership... Period, CASE CLOSED.

The shedding of blood of the corrupt, vote riggers and their facilitators in a country like ours is a necessity that ought to be adopted by all and sundry. Only the guilty themselves will have issues with this

@Demdem,

If every choice were to have godfathers and godchildren, then say me? I'm sure Buhari has godchildren as well who are less likely to be harmed and easily exonerated when crime arises.

didnt fully grasp what u said however will preffer the Godfather to any GodChild

afam4eva: I wonder what Unilag students will do next.

manny4life: I agree with you that Nigeria does need a saint to govern, therefore, I would rather have Fashola up there than have Buhari up there. At least Fahola hasn't shown a sign that he would be intolerant to people's freedom, nevertheless, if Buhari is to gain support of most Southerners, he needs to do a lot of groundwork convincing rather than critiquing. I like our conversation, it's good to agree when you disagree. At least we both agree that Nigeria needs IRON HAND, but we disagree in part of the choice to deliver that IRON HAND.

nagoma: They should not have killed them. It is unjustifiable. They should try them in a court of law and then sentence all of them to death and execute them.

manny4life: Personally, from Buhari's comment, I, personally think, he's not Ethnically and most importantly Religiously tolerant. His comment raise concerns of a potential dictator even a democratic society. While you might have good intentions at heart, the words that proceed out of his mouth, people take it differently. Perception and Reception are two different thins. Therein lies my concern with him, the reason why I believe that he somewhat has a hidden agenda behind his good motives.

manny4life: Brother, age is of the mind. Whether you're 69/79/89, or whatever age, in as long as you're living, have a conscience, then you have an agenda. The question is your agenda hidden or open? Is it positive or negative. His word does not attract, it repels, that's not a good trait of a leader, even the bible (if you believe in it) said;

"The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks."

Should I go any further?

manny4life: Well, unless Buhari can convince us btw now and 2015 beyond reasonable doubt that he has no hidden agenda, cut his words short (less blood and proffer effective solutions), he will lead fairly and justly, without ethnic or religious bigotry, then he will have my support (not that my support matters anyway). Till then, he might have the iron hand Nigeria needs, but his personality traits and hatred CANNOT be overlooked.

Demdem: what hidden agenda do u think this 69year old man has?

manny4life: My broda, I hope we see that person NOW, and NO we hope for things not to continue like this. My only beaf with Buhari is that from his comments, he seems to have a hidden agenda, concealed within him.

manny4life: TBH, IDK, but let's wait as the election year approaches, then we'll know who the Man of Valor is.

manny4life: I don't want to have this man as president, else Nigeria is in serious doom. Yes, jail or even kill them, but he's not the right person to do so.

dr stone: @Demdem, I see that for all you care, your understanding of justice is limited to the word corruption in public office.

[b]Ur opinion and u are definately wrong.

Ethnic cleanising, religious persecution and terrorism is of no importance to you, more especially since it does not concern you and you have not lost any close relative to it at the moment You dont have relatives killed for no reason but for their religious inclinations.[/b]

What has Buhari said that may suggest he is advocating for this? he said all corrupt Nigerians must be prosecuted, jailed and better still killed. what is wrong with that? besides in a democratic setting which he is hoping to get, laws will have to be passed i the NASS ensuring that the corrupt are killed as its being done in some countries.


It does not matter 2 u that a particular section of northern elites have cornered the wealth derived from places they dont come from and have kept us in debt, inspite of their stupendous cornering of the country's wealth. while others are forced into unemployment and miseries.... the type of miseries that make southerners cross the arid sahara to make it to a better life in europe. the type that has forced people in the south to send their girls 4 prostitution in europe so they can have a taste of the good life.. the type that has forced a lot of nigerians into fraudsters and drug couriers.... [I ASK AGAIN, WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE IBB's,ALHAJI UMAR MUTALLAB's, ALHAJI ALHAJI, ALHAJI MAI DERIBE's,THE ABACHA's, DANTATA's, ALL THE NORTHERN FULANI GENERALS USING THEIR MONEY FOR(I can assure you that when Buhari talks of shooting, he does not mean these ones)?]

[b]U are just talking jargons. what does this have to do with Buhari? Is buhari Mai deribe or Mutallab? Infact these people u are calling are even scared for a Buhari presidency because they regard him as an unpredictable person. They themselves are scared that their loot will be taken away from them if buhari gets to Aso Rock. i sense some level of ethnic bigotry in ur words. because some northerners has serious issues doesnt mean all have issues and deoesnt mean that the "messiah" of Nigeria cant still come from the same north. Support buhari, all these menace u highlighted up there will seize simple.

this same BUhari maltreated the Oni Of Ife and Ado bayero just because 2 of them visited Israel on a business trip back then in '84. ...am sure u were a kid then.

[b]In ur dreams besides its this the only thing u can remember during his short stay as head of state? ur hypocrisy knows no bound

Fashola in lagos is making Strides without sheddinng BLOOOOD or being Blood thirsty and being a leader 4 all.... Take a cue from him. there are many ways of killing a rat without having to shed blood.

[b]Fashola is making "manageable" strides and his opponents will tell u that the main reason why he cant make "major" strides is because of Tinubu. The truth is if not for corruption, he would be able to do more than this within a very short time so there is still the need to cleanse our "super" lagos from corruption also. This issue is endemic all over the country


The first Coup in this country that later plunged he country into an avoidable civil war years later, has been premised on destroying corrupt people and stamping out corruption...it ended the lives of the likes of Sardauna and Co...the same people that are being eulogised today as great leaders. every other successful coupist have based their rationale on the fact that they want to cleanse the polity and under them we had record billions being siphoned[/b].

My friend, u have nothing to fear if u are not corrupt. Buhari cant become president and start killing in a democratic setting. Laws will have to be enacted by the NASS mandating such but in the mean time he can proceed in arresting, interrogating and jailing after prosecution as the current law suggests. all what u wrote up there were simply during military era where virtually anything goes so not applicable.


I can Categorically tell you that Buhari cannot Look at IBB in the Eye to try him, talkless of Shooting him...Even the Thought shall crush him.

On what basis? u obviously dont know what u are talking about. The mere fact that he is the only one among ALL Nigerian politicians talking about this speaks volume

Abacha chased away small small southern thieves in the name of prosecuting failed bank chiefs only to become the biggest looter in Nigeria's history. Your guy, BUHARI served him well and continues to defend the thief. Sorry, Praise the thief.. But let it be an Oyegbola or Madubuko......They will be hanged 7times....I am already shedding tears for KEN SAR-WIWA as i write.

leave tori, tell me what issues u have with Buhari about corruption? is he also corrupt? u are just rambling

Even the reference to Ghana is funny, look at your peculiar environment and develop solutions most suitable to it.

be specific if u can and stop being vague

With the help of astute Political propaganda, buhari is portrayed as an incoruptible person....

of cos he is an incorruptible person till date and its not any propaganda. he has openly requested any one that has anything linking him to any corrupt practice should come out. which of any of ur miserable politicians dare say such. Even the retardeen cant.

He has serious defects that hinder his credibility. he that comes to equity must come with clean hands....AND this your man B?UHARI, does not have clean hands, but BLOOODY HANDS[/b].

[b]allegations upon allegations, killer this, boko that, corper killer etc yet the man still they on his farm in Daura farming and the security agents havent in anyway picked him up for questioning. Abegiii talk something new.

In 2015, He is hoping for more blooood, again trust me, it is the blood of Christians in the North He is loooking for. He should advise himself and those who follow him.

me sef, i want all rigger's blood and those that facilitate rigging to be spilled for all to see as stated bu Buhari

afam4eva: We need mavericks like Buhari to run the affairs of this nation for a few years and after the deed has been done to the carcass and corrup anuofias of the Nigerian society, then he can give way to fresh minds.

LeoMax: Its WorldBank loan my brother. Always get facts before giving yourself high BP

BlueMurder: I see. In that case, kicking the PDP out of power should be the foremost priority of every Nigerian, if we are to negotiate our way out of our country's arrested development.

BlueMurder: Buhari is offering to assist the FG to fight corruption, albeit with a condition: all corrupt persons must be made to face the law. What is Jonathan waiting for

dr stone: What i find amusing about this interview, is this reinforcement, that in Life, the Leopard can never change its spots. And no matter how beautiful the skin-coat of a leopard is, make no mistake of entrusting your well being to it. The leopard is genetically wired to devour and kill and suck BLOOOOOOOD! He wont even blink or show emotion, because to it, it is a way of life, the only way it knows.........So lets come back to the Interview, shoot the Corrupt...OK!What of the religious fanatics who are his kinsmen??....negotiate with them and give them amnesty package. I think it is this his un-nigerian bent that is the achilles heel in his persona. He has a soft spot for the malaise in his brothers, but knows how to wield the iron hammer on those he feels he really has no special blood links with. Give such a man, Power and all corrupt people, as well as those percieved by him to be corrupt are sent to Hell, That of course is not meant for those folks of his or any with his ideological bent. Put lucidly that means, those who show dissent to him at any point 'P' are at risk of their very lives. Just give them a bad name and hang the living SHIT out of them bastards. That is the ABC of DRACONIANISM. I read a piece by WOLE SOyinka the other day, it was very instructive.....However the problem is most contributors to NAIRA land do not have the relevant years of experience and observation of facts with regards to nigeria...over 60% were born btw 1980- 1990. They do not know who TAI Solarin was. They do not know who Ambrose Alli was, they do not know who Micheal Ajasin was. Secondly, to those who know the general very well, His fanatical religious bent is far worse than his Ethnocentricism. The Oracle told him to take Pastor Bakare alongside him, thats why he could sway the gullible few who are young and have no record of his antecedents. A man who has not submitted himself to regulatory structures and PONTIFICATES on his opinion is to be wisely put on hold and set aside. It is even sad that the north has no shining light to offer apart from the expired likes of IBB,BUHARI and ATIKU. As at now that we speak over 65% of Nigeria's lucrative Oil Blocks are in the hand of Core northern elements in the last 30 yrs and yet the region is the poorest in the World. Bola Tinubu might be corrupt, which is yet to be proven, but look at what he has been able to do in the SWest.Tinubu is a small fry where this guys are. The Abacha's said no matter how much was recovered from them, they can never be as poor as Dangote. I hope you guys know Aliko DaNGOTE? fOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON, the earning from one of this oil blocks is triple what the entire nation of Ghana makes from oil sale in a year. Most of the Oil Block license concessions are due to expire btw 2014-2018. Can you see why the whole polity is being HEATeD Up?? ITS REALLY ABOUT NATURAL RESOURCES and who grabs it.-_Dont be fooled[/b]by the political class.

[b]na wa oo, why are u shivering? Are u corrupt?
Not to worry, the retardeen is still the president till 2015 so u have all the time to plan ur escape strategy for a few days though because we will make sure u are extradited back to your homeland where u will be killed for corruption. of cos if u are innocent, u have nothing to fear.

agborodun: ...AND WHAT DID HE SAY SHOULD BE DONE TO BOKO HARAM(HIS POLITICAL CHILDREN) WHO ARE KILLING IN THE NORTH?

femmy2010: The fight against corruption is not one to be fought with kid glove and isn't one that can be fought by a leader who himself encourages corruption when he sorround himself with corrupt hands.
Corruption is the main militating factor disturbing Nigeria from reaching its full develpment potential and as such shouldn't be fought "systemic" but wounded eith a single blow.
Corruption no dey pity Nigerians so why should Nigerians pity corruption.
The Journey to make Nigeria great should start today and if not 2015 when Buhari becomes President.
The best realistic option for president come 2015 is Buhari.
I will Vote for him and would encourage others too.
ENOUGh IS ENOUGH ooOO.

Exactly. but why are NLers themselves scared of being shot if they are not corrupt . All corrupt NLers must die
Besides what i feel buhari will advocate for in a democratic setting is to request for death penalty from the NASS for corruption cases.
On this i support very well.
Its reasons like this the Nigerian Oligarchs (North, east, west and south) will do every thing within their power to ensure Buhari becomes not the president becuse the day he does, they go on exile, and the day they go on exile the people start benefitting the true dividend of democracy.
Of cos my dear Buhari will still fight for their extradiction to face justice in their homeland.
May God spare the live of Buhari.
Nigeria as a country dont need a sheep to govern them.

debosky: While I don't think Patience was involved in the crash, I am highly circumspect when it comes to 'official' press releases, especially from Aso Rock.

If there are official flight schedules or itineraries available, these should be released for public consumption, not just some typed up 'press release' from her office.

The government's reputation for lies precedes it - from ministers lying about subsidies to lies about deploying soldiers to Lagos State.

It should not be difficult to release an official itinerary for the first lady (dated before the crash) to back up her claim. In the absence of such independent verification, I am not surprised that many people are reluctant to accept what the government says at face value.

Ofuks: Since 29th May, 2011 to date it seem all GEJ's fresh air policies have only succeeded in alienating him from the people who turned out enmasse to cast their votes for him. From his shady anti- corruption crusade down to his fuel subsidy shocker and his ineffective security systems the people had looked on with wonder. My people what could have happened to Oga Jonathan?
