Jorussia:
Let me start,by saying that i have observed, that from late last year till now,that most people who either comment or post here on nairaland,do so with either political,tribal,ethnic or religious sentiments. It will be very good,for people who either comment or post here, to do so,with facts, "common sense",and rich knowledge of our political history as a country. I followed the events that led to the emergence of tambuwal as speaker of house reps in 2011,and i want to say with all sense of responsibility, that they are totally different from what is currently happening. PDP zoned the speaker of house of reps in 2011 to the South West, where as APC left the contest open to all regions.I am aware that the two leading contenders from the south west in 2011 were muraino Ajibola,and mulikat.Instead of PDP to present Ajibola as its candidate, they made a costly by choosing mulikat.Where as mulikat was the candidate of GEJ,Pmb has chosen not to endorse any member. The most significant thing,that made tambuwal emerged as speaker was that he had more than 65% of PDP members vote casted.tambuwal scored about 260 or there about vote, while mulikat got 90 votes.

Gbaja is a more popular candidate this time compared to Mulikat who was to be forced on the lawmakers.

With 154 on his side, he only needs 19 more which he can get from APC (Doguro's camp), PDP and the rest parties. He has up to 90% chance to clinch it now.

barcanista:
APC have no business with the Tuesday election. They won't be there to supervise nor campaign for the party's nominee.
With the 121 PDP members, Dongara need the 10 non APC/PDP members, 121 PDP legislators, and just 50 APC legislators to clinch the seat. It is possible

Which is easier?

For PDP to get 50 from APC lawmakers, all 121 PDP and 10 from other parties. Or for Gbaja to get 19 from PDP/APC?the rest?

barcanista:
Dongara only need to be steadfast. PDP MUST support him and I hope all PDP Representatives vote for him on Tuesday.

You know very little about politics; forget the self illusion you embark on.

If Femi already has 154 speakers assured on his side, he requires just 19 more from the remaining speakers who cut across PDP, APC, APGA, and other parties. And for anyone to think that he will not get the 19 from the rest 191 speakers, the person is living in the proverbial fool's paradise.

Clerverly:
Protection Seeker, you have started again with your jaw jaw, hollow, intellectually dishonest analysis of issues, and at end of the day, you will have "shiit"and eggs thrown at your face!

Who told you, The Hausa PDP Reps, The Yoruba PDP, The absentee APC reps will all vote for Dogara?

Mr. Taniod, you better start addressing Gbaja as your speaker to enable you prepare your attack and criticism early!

Hungry Political analyst!

Gbaja has at least 90% chance of clinching it already.

Jus a simple ques...
Y do nigerian govt announce intended actions b4 execution

Funny question. Would you rather they implement new programs without making people aware first?

vimi:
And am expected to ansa dat question? let's assume I'm 5yrs

You need to go learn about international politics. That's all.
By the way, PMB has identified with every of the suicide bombing and other disaster since he became president.

vimi:
He shud just face his presido jab iin naija joor

He must not poke nose on other countries palava, this iis the reason US/UN founded BH for us. Nigeria started finding interest iin AU and all of that...

How old are you?

Good

BackDatAssUp:
Ok, Jonathan's religion and not politics that you dont like

You're not getting my point or you're pretending not to get it. Jonathan's was for campaign purpose while Buhari's is not.

M0GIDI:
Hypocrisy!!
Same one that criticised Abati and Dr Okupe, same Adesina that berates journalist serving in govt.

Did he criticize them for serving in govt or criticize there activities and the govt's?

GEJ was campaigning with his kneeling down to deceive Nigerians.
PMB, as you can see, is in same sitting position as those around him. It's the normal worship way in the mosque. During campaign, we weren't even told how and where he worshipped.

Clear?

Rumpelstiltskin:
Dear God, thank you for these suicide bombers that were killed today. Grant our army more wisdom, strength and precision to kill even more bombers before the bombers are opportuned to kill other innocent Nigerians. Thank you once again dear Lord. Yours' sincerely, Rumpelstiltskin.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God bless the Nigerian Army, Navy and Airforce.
God bless the Media.
God bless Nairaland and Nairalanders.
God bless Rumpelstiltskin and his entire household

Amen. God bless me and my household too.

JuanDeDios:
You sure about the politician part? Well, I've read some bad things about him in the public domain. Plus he's doesn't sound brilliant.

My impression from what I read about him says otherwise.

Though this is doubtful but if confirmed to be correct, it is a very wrong move given how Fashola stood by him throughout the campaign period.

JuanDeDios:
Not a good choice, though.

The best choice of all the names propped up so far. He's a clear departure from others who are politicians.

Was a notice of evacuation given the sellers there?
Is there an alternative arrangement for the people you're taking away their source of income.
Is this part of your promises to them when you begged for their votes?

I think this guy's over zealousness will be his downfall.
I pray he succeeds though.

If he built it with legitimate money, no P.

But if he built it with looted money, may God punish him on earth and for yonder.

People from that part of the country will do anything that brings money nah. Na today? E don tey well well joor.

No be there pikin dey sell im mama and husband dey sell wife?

Next news pls.

OP, you don't need to appeal to anyone to give the president a chance. Once the president starts to perform as expected, all doomsday sayers shall keep quiet.

This is height of mediocrity. It is part of OBJ's legacy. He created too many political offices just to share the goodies around.

This governor surely needs to be called to order.

Benard94:
Will you also respond like this teacher if the student happened to write this in your test? Lol

It seems you also can't differentiate btw food poison and food poisoning judging by your title.

tomakint:
Brace up, it could be tougher than earlier thought for Buhari!

And it could be easier too.

It's too early for anyone to think that way. I can't form an opinion until I see his cabinet.

This is a result of playing politics with everything in Nigeria and it has done huge damage to the nation as a whole.

To get a contract for 100 million naira, the contractor may need to part with about 30 to 40% of the contract worth. The contractor also gets paid only a part of the remaining sum as mobilization which means he/she takes loan at high interest rate to carry out the work. What type of quality do you expect in this type of situation.

We need complete overhauling of the system called Nigeria.

tomakint:
Buhari, as far as I know him remains a good man as a person but he is not the type of leader Nigeria wants at this time......in his bid to impress and to get a power grab from PDP, he failed the 'litmus test of campaign expected of a leader' which is, 'Promise little but deliver much' unfortunately, the APC machinery goaded him to 'Promise much and he may likely deliver......' well you know the rest. No way out, BUHARIMETER calling.......

The president doesn't even need to deliver all his campaign promises. Anything above 60%, especially if such achievements are in core areas that affect the economy, will be fine by Nigerians.

I like the Buharimeter innovative though, as far as they measure credible promises and not the lies peddled around.

This Fayose tried sha. But hmm ....... I rest it.

barcanista:
Which "propaganda"? So the Guardian (UK) are lying?
www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/01/nigerian-election-winner-muhammadu-buhari-boko-haram

Or the Foreign press that reported it are PDP propagandists? Buhari can't have the luxury of changing his words. Didn't he also deny ever promising to return Chibok gierls when we have record of him making the pledge?

Who said this... “We know how they started and where they are now and we will rapidly give attention to security in the country. And I believe we will effectively deal with them in two months when we get into office.".
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/01/nigerian-election-winner-muhammadu-buhari-boko-haram

In as much as I'd like to engage you, your ability to result to uncouth words as soon as one disagrees with you and the fact that you've permanently blocked your mind from being objective whilst silently wishing this govt fail, have made me to refrain from joining issues with you.
If and when I see a change of attitude in you, I may take you more serious. Till then, peace.

fineguy11:
he gave a deadline "2MONTHS"its just 8 days since he became president,STOP shiting in your pants BARCANISTER....if u 're half the the man u think u are,,u 'll pick up an AK 47 and go to maiduguri,,,instead of sitting all day on nairaland picking on GMB like a little girl experiencing her first mestra flow....there are ijaws in the frontlines now risking their lives,fighting those devils,all they need is support and motivation u can start splling venom after 2 months ,until then do somthing different with ur life, get a temporal job..

AbuMikey:
Bros, wait till after July 29th before You can be listend to.
Baba said 2-MONTHS, wait till after 2 Months.
You are even the insensitive one here.
Like You don't know Baba went to Chad and Niger 'cos of the Boko Haram menace.
He's on top of the situation already.

fineguy11:
He gave a deadline,,2 months,,,its less than a week since he became president...GMB body language suggest he plans to crush this insurgents once and for all,hence his recent visits to chad and Niger republic....boko haram's military m has been drastically liquidated during the last days of GEJ'S presidency,the evidence is in their latest video,,shekau's absence says it all...this will all be over soon....

Just for correction sake, PMB never said "two months". I watched the interview and what he said when asked about how long he thought he will defeat BH, he said in "few months".

It was misrepresentation and PDP's propaganda that popularized the 2 months. APC later came out to even refute the claim.

midolian:
Welcome to islam, the religion of peace..

I am sure after Buhari's 8yrs in office, many others will consider Islam. By then, the air would have been cleared of ethnic and religious bigotism, terrorism, nepotism, unemployment and kwarruption. By then, they ld have known Islam to be a religion of peace and not a violent religion as pple with ulterior motives have made many to believe..

God bless Buhari!
God bless Chukwuma Austin dike
God bless the readers that won't quote me to blast me..
God bless Nigeria!!!

Cc: Lalasticlala, come and do what you do well..May ya name be on God's Front page (of those that will dwell in heaven). Move this thing to the FP to claim ya prayer.

To see you and slap sense into your head dey hungry me, I swear. 5 kobo sense you no get.

Bastaard!

The Greece Example
Let us take our mind to what's going on in Greece.
Then opposition leader Alexis Tsipras had promised to end a 5year austerity that the then incumbent Government were implementing.
On Sunday, January 25, 2015 his (Alexis Tsipras) party swept to victory defeating the incumbent by a landslide. He was subsequently sworn in the next day as the Greek's PM amid joy. Many Greeks were expectant of an end to austerity. In fact, people organised solidarity rally in favor of austerity removal on Feb 15. But 9 days later (Feb 24), the New PM instead of ending austerity in line with his promise, agreed new austerity deal. Immediately, Greek people expressed their opposition saying it wasn't part of the mandate they gave the New Leadership. They even came out two days later to stage protests and clash with security agencies.
[url]uk.businessinsider.com/greeces-far-left-is-already-rioting-protesting-against-syriza-2015-2?r=US[/url]
The Greek people never blamed the defeated party as being behind the protest. The Government never termed protesters as "haters", neither did anyone made demand for any "100" Days or said it was "too early". It was very simple, the people were angry because the government acted outside their promise.

Why should the APC supporters and Buharists blackmail us as "haters"? Does holding leaders accountable translate to hate? Is it out of place for the APC crews to tell their leaders to do what is right? Should we all remain silent? What wrong have we done?

May God Bless Us All

Just reading this now makes me to believe in the saying that "he who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him".

If you're not one, what is the relationship btw what happened in Greece and what PMB has done.

You are very stuupid to equate "I will declare my assets publicly within 100 days" with Greece experience.

Many are insane indeed but only few roam the street.

As for replica aka COUNTERFEIT, fake, knock off I am very certain that our Honourable First Lady who is dedicated to preventing Edo girls from "going abroad to be prostitutes" cannot do such a thing.

Or do you think she can do such an ILLEGAL and illegitimate thing

Seriously you're not making any sense and you know it.
Just fyi, replica are not counterfeit. Educate yourself please.

VickJames:
We de complain say GEJ go campaign after bomb blast. Our new president de go pool party for different countries.

See as those ladies de shake things!

But you know he has gone there to strategize on how to deal with Boko Haram nah. He has not gone there to dance or campaign like Jona did.
