With the bolded, you have contradicted every single word you wrote. If you know the way things are done in Nigeria, why compare us with the US? Instead of wasting your time running yourself in circles, join us and vote the only candidate who will take Nigeria out of the current backwardness and set us on the path of greatness, in ways that will make us comparable to the US. The most visible sign to Ribadu lovers, is the fact that GEJ has so completely democratised and opened up the Nigerian political to the extent that an ex-fugitive and political exile is back home walking freely and contesting the highest position of the land. That my friend, is a momentous change in the way things are done in Nigeria.

The above said, I do not seem to recall either Bush or Clinton being spotted on a bus or taxi, headed out to campaign; I'm sure you don't as well.

. . .Anyways, the long and short is, the thread is based on an article that is another horrible lie. No need to continue to honour lies.

Beaf:
No, the Nigerian President will join you to catch a bus at Mile 2. Rubbish.

Beaf:
Cheap lies. Even our local musicians hire helicopters as a matter of routine and they don't have $10,000.00 per hour to throw around.

More important than the above, the Presidency has a fleet of helicopters and does not go about hiring and renting. Your story is another figment of the low quality imagination that churned out lies about Wole Soyinka to the extent he went to the police. Shame.. . .By the way, the liars should also find out what it truly costs to hire a helicopter. lol!

I reserve my other comments

Nigerians are not corrupt - Ribadu.

So, free everyone you had sent to jail and let them slam you in jail for deceit. Mallam one leg Ribadu or na Robida self.

Genbuhari3:
no level playing ground for me as long as your candidate ignore the fact that a bloody civil war for Buhari is bigger than fighting crime on the street by a policeman, that personally leading a team to chase Chadian rebels out of Nigeria is more daring than being an AIG and that jailing Tafa Balogun is not a big deal to changing the currency of this country in one swoop to stamp out corruption.

Here we go again. l think there is problem with Nigeria literacy rate which stand at 72, when the developed world stands at 99.
Problem areas in Nigeria:
Water- 10%
Road -10%
Electricity-5%
Industry-2%.
Population-10%
Education-55%
Technology-0.5%

You tell me why people talking about crime fighting and use this to elect a president??
Crime fighting has to do with knowing who your citizens are. If you cant track ID or DL or vehicle registration, you tell me how crime fighting can be successful?
You need someone who has performed in the listed area above no matter where he or she comes from, even from Russia
Remove State of origin requirement from electing president.
Remove country of origin from electing president, narrow it down to citizenship.
Elect only those with proven track records in the above list, thats all.

@poster

u have given us five reasons why we should vote ACN into presidency which includes corruption, sincerity et al but how about the man (Tinubu) who sits at the helm of affairs of ACN and who will indirectly rule this nation if Ribadu wins. is he not guilty of all you have listed or will Ribadu arrest him immediately he wins? not likely so why waste my vote.

PapaBrowne:
If Nuhu Ribadu were serious about winning 2011, I would have voted for him! However, it appears like he is priming for 2015 which I think is really cool!! I'll preserve my vote till then! For now, what we need is a Breath of Fresh Air!

Wadeoye:
Most of the Ribadu's supporters are kids who spend most of their time on facebook, listening to hipop musics, watching european leagues, etc.

Really, when you have parents still footing your bills, you don't think too much - it is play play play.

But as you grow up, you begin to see things differently - maturity sets in and you actually need a working system to make ends meet - the reason we are agitating for Buhari presidency,  We need strong men to build strong institutions.

Lets keep working on those kids - sure they will reason with us before April 9.

9ijaMan:
And that makes it right. Ribadu strikes a deal with a bunch of thieves to catch a bigger thief abi! Sorry bro, we do not want anyone who'll be striking deals with corrupt politicians. We need someone who'll wipe them all out and make future politicians think deeply before they get their hands soiled.

You've simply just pointed out one of the problems I have with Ribadu, he's willing to compromise justice to have his way!

As per you problems with Buhari, whom amongst those you list was a completely innocent person. Please for God's sake, name just a single [b]innocent individual who got punished by Buhari. While you are at it, I'll also want you to point out a single corrupt politician who escaped Buhari's wrath amongst all those who were unable to embark on self imposed exile.[/b]

Doja,

I have won more Ribadu supporters to the BB ticket, more fanatical supporters than you are.

Oh, Ribadu did not show his dictatorial tendencies? Dariye was impeached by 6 members of assemble. EFCC will arrest all house of assembly members, take them to lagos and back they go to impeach a governor! Dariye, Ladoja, Alams.

Balogun was dragged on the ground and had a car ran over him in Court under Ribadu's watch!

Don't bring up the dictatorial angle, because with little EFCC power, Ribadu almost beat Buhari to it!

And you think Ribadu will win? where? Lagos, Ondo?

As Tunde Bakare will always say, we win and the rest is victory. we will compare notes in April.

On funding, I have personally donated money to Buhari and I also canvassed and got 23 people to donate to the course. the money is part of what is funding the BB campaign. and please note that Free ride was given by Okada riders in Maiduguri yesterday to anybody who wants to go and receive Buhari/Bakare at the Airport. the poor are also contributing.

Our account is not dry because BB ticket is the only campaign trail that organised one day fasting and prayer before the kick-off of their rally. We are putting the best feet forward for the soul of this country. And God is with us
