"The power to stop Boko Haram is in your hands"

Frankly, I don't see the sense in it.

First, most individuals in this country are neither soldiers nor jungle-based hunters in the least. Hence, transversing the length and breadth of the deserts in search of the terrorists
Secondly, if they implied that we need to vote in another government that has 'Boko Haram Elimination' as its top priority, I don't think it is a wise move at the moment. The Nigerian Army morale is on a high now, with great news and videos of victory. So, it's a matter of time before Boko Haram goes into hibernation. Perhaps, more pressing now, is the country's finances. So, that priority is a bummer.

I think we can help in our own little way by providing information and so on. One doesn't need to vote in a party before he/she does his or her civic right.

Mehn.. See News

Diverse views on one issue. I thought the plan for this farm has been there all along.
Now this?
Anyway, GEJ should address the compensation issue.

Forget frontpage.. This will slow down the server

Hehehehehe.. This is really bad timing from the Imams.. I mean, refusing now that Boko Haram is finally going down the drain?
As leaders and humans with brains, they ought to know better than to refuse.

Choi! See match-up!! I missed jare

Does any one remember 'Pastor Tunde Bakare's comments' over a certain arrangement when he was in the running for Presidency? Anyone?

I dnt even knw you,so u're highly IRRELEVANT

This ain't an introduction, 'wise' guy.. Sorry 'bout the pain that's got your brain so messed up

God Bless Nigeria defence forces.

#NeverAgain shall we allow a clueless man to rule over this country.

#NeverAgain shall we vote a leader who only eat, drink and smile in Aso Rock while precious lives are lost, and communities are sacked till the last minute.

#NeverAgain shall we allow presidential. And governorship elections to be rigged in our dear country.

#NeverAgain shall we vote a ruler who encourages corruption.

#iHaveDecided!
Vote GMB/PYO
Vote APC!

#NeverAgain shall you be ignorant of the meaning of clueless.

#NeverAgain shall you be misled by one who could have helped stopped the Boko Haram menace earlier but did nothing.

#NeverAgain shall you undermine the most credible elections ever held in the country and whose leadership over saw it.

#NeverAgain shall we witness an aspirant whom violence is his first port of call at any slight provocation.

#NeverAgain shall you use #NeverAgain, for this is to the glory of your enemy.

GEJ over GMB!

tseuns:
May GOD hllp our education. I saw this as far back as 2005 and I knw far back from that. Hope the northern leaders will rise up and hlp its pple rather than chop national cake and nothing to show for it than enriching themselves. I do I post news in here? Sm1 help me.

Click on the particular section you want to post in. As you scroll down, Politics for instance, after those numbers in a line (1)(2)(3)..and so on, you will see the 'Create New Topic' option.

benarex:
..Well, I remain an advocate of change but not the kind of brainwashed change we hear these days but sructural change. The centre should be weakened and the component parts strenghtened.

God bless your realistic way of thinking. As long as godfatherism exists at such magnitude in Nigerian politics, there is little hope of getting a selfless leader at any level in Nigeria
The difference between GEJ and GMB is while GEJ has disposed of some godfathers who were milking the country dry, GMB has gained their backing, along with those he had before, and is planning to bring the whole lot to the feast if he succeeds. Considering that this has been going on for a very long time, and that Nigeria's chief source of income has fallen by 50%, this is very bad for the economy.

Lifebender:
Stupidity is when u use gen set to charge ur phone and sill get on Nairaland to type GEJ TILL 2019[/b]

And wisdom is when Buhari doesn't even know your ancestor but you are eager to kill yourself for him??

Sorry o

realGURU:
Gej is a virus that penetrated and destroy the immunity of every sector of the nigerian education sector..

You're quite st.upid. A government secondary school in 'Bauchi' is in pitiable condition and you are blaming the president. What is the need of having state government and local government and giving them allocations when the FG still have to wipe their buttocks?

Still on the small cash they 'managed' to raise.

Hmm.. Sweet Tea..

eaglechild:
The speech leaves a sour taste of hypocrisy in my mouth.

You know, it's funny when people paint 'Buhari' all saintly and righteous.
Forgetting that he has been rejected for many reasons before now.
And suddenly, because many of the 'treasury-siphoning' godfathers are not sapping like they would love to under this administration, they have painted GEJ black and looking to try a new option in Buhari as a means to reconnect to the country's wealth.
To him and to the 'loot-depots' backing him, we say 'No vacancy in Nigerian Treasury'

qasmah:
Did I hear u say Oputa panel?That was just a mockery of our intelligence as a Nation,n to think u believe in its credibility says a lot about ur person.

Your dear General doesn't agree with you on this one. Consult his reply to the summon. 'Human Rights Abuses' is something democracy never joked with anywhere in the world. Is there an 'excuse', any 'excuse' at all, no matter how flimsy, that can justify a 'changed' man from accepting 'responsibility' for his watch? Or this is a new 'Angel' surfacing in favourable clime?
Like I pointed out, he wasn't the only one who turned down the inquest. Babangida did too, a perfect role model for him, I must say.

delightful1:
What is this one saying please?

Guess you didn't read the article. What he is saying is, 'What would a CORE muslim be flirting about with the 'road to damascus' for? It's as ill-fitting as wool on a cockroach.

rusher14:
This here is conviction.

This here is patriotism.

This here is my leader.

Is it? Saying one thing and doing another?
If he really took responsibilty for everything that happened between 1983 to 1985 under his watch, what could justify him refusing to appear before Oputa Panel to take responsibility for the misdemanours under his watch? What would make him follow the cue of Ibrahim Babangida and hide away from proving his integrity? And suddenly now, he is what? A responsibility-taker?

I'm a Jonathan supporter.
But I think FFK talks too damn much!

Well.. Start by heading over to Cambridge and 'change' something that is of benefit to you. In a civilian government, a 'certificate' is very much your present and your future. The old military glory, like you said, is in the past. But the present doesn't have a prudent route to success for you. A leader leads by example. The humble General says that he takes responsibility for everything that happens under his watch. So what really is the issue about the 'boycotted Oputa Panel summon'? Or that doesn't count?
#Change.. Begins in your individual lives. Stop waiting for a man with his own personal problems to bring it to you!

I'ld have thought that was inside a house?
Don't get the 'stepping out' part.

wakacome:
PDP is boko haram...late azazi

And even goodluck jonathan himself some years ago admitted that boko haram are inside his government......so actually the right thing to say is that jonathan's thugs have started again...

You seem to lack the patience to really 'think' before you weigh in your opinion.
Are there no other political parties in leadership positions of the Nigerian Government?
Were you an alien, I'ld have thought you talk through your ar$e because that post was full of shit!

pendy79:
..
I don't need to a soothsayer to tell me the life of an average Nigerian will be better under an APC government ..

This is a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
AC is just a part of APC. Their ideologies aren't the same.
You made a mistake of assigning an attribute of AC to APC, forgetting that CPC and ex-PDP provide the bulk of APC, and that is the ideology that governs the party. This 'goodness' has been taking place under AC, far before the advent of APC.

4everGrand:
I see you are really enjoying the present set of flies, right? Suffering and smiling is the case of many Nigerians.

No. Not enjoying it and never would.
Still won't support new ones either. It's worse.
As long as godfatherism exists, forget great leadership.

StunningCEO:
jonagoat. too little too late. disgraced president.

You sound quite st.upid. No offences, but weigh your post. Very unconnected to the subject matter.

G.C.F.R

slimfit1:
You go to the offices of these civil servants and they are there doing nothing contributing nothing to the system.

And this justifies the collection of their salaries and witholding it?
This speaks for every single member of the civil service?

Pathetic!

Obvious lack of eye contact

Nigeria is a third world country. Such things happen there.

Pastor Osibanjo, stop deceiving yourself.
Nigerian Politics isn't one you partake in and remain a Pastor.
You must incoporate mudslinging and deception or you'ld never go far
You'ld better sort yourself out before the treasury-hungry godfathers get rid of your soul.

As for your campaign on 'Truthful Change', spare the story for the birds. As long as godfatherism still exists in Nigerian politics, no leader can be just. You and your partner are just bringing in fresh flies to the feast, and their greedy appetites is much more than what our depleting resources can handle. Try again in four years.
