“If you wanted to see the President’s wife, you will pay $30,000 or $50,000 and if you are seeing the President, you will pay all that you have saved in your lifetime."

What a silly thing to say! Am sure she must have seen then president GEJ and his wife a couple of times before her pompous self got into power, so how much did she pay?
If her claims were to be true, she wouldn't be able to afford a 10 million naira watch! Dullness indeed runs in the family!

Are you this stupid? Didn't you read where she said "We heard a lot of stories. We are not sure whether it is true or false. Only God knows'....[i][/i]

MrCcf:
Mr. Daura, while u keep enjoying the President fleets u criticized Gej of buying, don't forget that ur oga President Obama nominated his cabinets during the transition period and signed the document appointing the members of the cabinet and other two document immediately after being sworn-in.
Mr. Daura, you made us believe u are prepared during the campaign, but what have we gotten, a snail and tourist as President.
Mr. Daura, don't forget we now have South and North Sudan, because it is just a matter of time for u to embarrass globally again, and again, ur accent is so embarrasing. All those talks u made there, no single head of state understood u and when u return, do something about dollar, because it is not yet = #1
I wish u goodluck during your tenure.

You are just a demented, frustrated nit-wit. What has accent got to do with good governance? You want him to go change his accent at 72? How about your lord, master, and savior (Jonathan) who had a terrible accent too? Go listen to your lord Jonathan's speeches on 'youtube'.

How long did it take your Jonathan to form his cabinet when he took over? The man (Buhari) took the reins just over 2 weeks ago! The National Assembly that will screen his nominees was inaugurated just last week!

Are you TANoids and PDP low-life people this dumb Is there no limit to bigotry and hatred?

I could see quite a number of people wondering aloud how Speaker Yakubu Dogara could be a Christian! With due respect, it appears that a lot of men and women of the younger generation (below 40 years) are intellectually lazy! What stops anyone from using their ubiquitous gadgets to check Dogara's profile. So easy!

It was this intellectual laziness that caused a so-called founder of a branding and communication consulting firm and a former President of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) Lagos State, Chike Ofili, to repeatedly claim in a long essay on Premium Times about recent political developments that Speaker Yakubu Dogara was a Muslim and that APC had given the Speaker to a Muslim from the North East! And a lot of equally ignorant, mischievous, and bigoted readers (largely PDP supporters) were applauding him!

It is incredible that in spite of the various clarifications about the ethnic and religious configuration in the North, some people still believe that EVERYONE in the North is a Muslim! It is akin to saying that EVERYONE in the South-South is a Christian when a very large part of Edo North are Muslims...

There are indigenous Christians in Kebbi, Niger, Nasarawa (large), Bauchi, Kaduna (almost the whole of the South), Borno, Adamawa (South), just as there are indigenous minority Muslims in Edo, Enugu, Anambra...

And not every one who bears Yakubu, Ibrahim, Abdullahi, Shehu, Balarabe, Haruna, Bala, Amina, Laraba, Aisha, etc in the North are Muslims. Those names, although largely Muslim, have been ingrained into the culture in the North and because the majority language spoken in the North is Hausa, most people adopt the names, whether Muslim or Christian...

1 million 'gbosas' for you! Well said! That was Nigeria under Jonathan. May we never witness that kind of leadership in Nigeria again! Saw some ECOWAS meeting pictures, our Jonathan was at the back almost looking like an owl when Presidents of small countries ike Eyadema Junior of Togo, Yaya Jammeh of The Gambia (a country of less than 2 million people), Chad, Niger, Burkina Faso stood majestically in the front! ECOWAS which Nigeria funds almost 95%.

May we never have a Jonathan as President again. Humility should never equate being dumb, clueless, and daft!

[quote author=xpac01 post=34743269]See as dem dey shine teeth. Laugh wey no reach.[/quot

You don't know politicians. They're all friends; reason they decamp, return, and decamp so easily. Just a phone call- 'olboy, I wan return to PDP o; 'olboy, I wan join APC o'.

Politicians are like bank CEOs- they wine and dine together and their supporters are like bank marketing staff who 'de-market' competing banks just because of the need to meet targets!

Reason no one should die for politicians; lose friends; create enmity unless you are directly benefiting from them!

I can imagine how many friendships have gone in flames because of PDP vs APC rivalry and these politicians don't even know you!

With some of the things some of us know, in all modesty, Nigerian politicians are not worth 'dying' or making enemies for!

Nigerians won't kill us with these jokes (some very, very acerbic, caustic, and derogatory, though). Leave Buhari alone as far as he changes our current condition of 'near hopelessness' we were plunged into by Jonathan and his Clueless Gang- no electricity, bad roads, endless fuel queues, unbridled corruption, nepotism, glorified high schools as Federal 'Universities', rushed appointments at the time of departure, completely partisan and clueless Directorate of State Security (DSS), divided Army, etc, etc.

Ama80:
Gov Shettima is completely useless.watch him gazing like a slowpoke in coat bhind.

Not true...I don't know the context of your comment, but Gov. Shettima was a former lecturer, and later a banker. He left banking as a top performing General Manager (GM)/Zonal Head of Zenith Bank Plc North-East Zone before he was poached as Borno State Commissioner for Finance in 2007 and the rest is history...

[color=#1980BC] And you wonder why he's archaic and brainless,my dear Ghanaian. We shudder to imagine the state of his government and country as far as his taste his concerned,as you have noticed via the current undisturbed nefariousities of BH, the country is on a slow motion into stone age...The Hypocritical Daura President just isn't the real deal. [/color]

Child of frustration, bigotry, and hate. If your father is 72 (or older) pray that he shouldn't die this year. If he is not, pray that he lives to 72. Also, pray that you will get to 70 and even attain 10% of whatever President Buhari has achieved in life.

Your hate will kill you soon. Hate eats people's hearts gradually, you know!

God help your miserable soul. A man who lost an election had since moved on, but low-life imbeciles like you would never rest and take a walk...

Liberalize:
What is happening to ur youngsters? We no longer have respect for the elderly? I have a father that I love. A grand father that I so much love and respect. And this same respect I accord to every elderly person. So I find it really disgusting to see people insulting the elderly.

"The Hypocritical Daura President just isn't the real deal".

Why call a 72 year old "Hypocritical Daura President"? It takes the blessing of God to be 72.

Are you surprised? There are hundreds of children of unbridled hate and frustration, mainly irredeemably uncultured, on Nairaland (and elsewhere) who could insult their own fathers and grand-fathers! Not surprised one bit about their insults on President Buhari...

The dumb-ass Ghanaian clown does not know what he is doing.

Let him show us pictures of President Mahama (current Ghanaian President), President Jerry Rawlings, and President Goodluck Jonathan when they attended such type of meetings. They wore traditional clothes at different occasions. In particular, President Jonathan wore his Niger Delta attire with fedora hat almost 100% during his foreign trips. His rating as Nigeria's President never diminished by his Nigerian/Niger Deltan dressing!

Why should President Buhari wear European suits?

discusant:
A woman holding high office in a country whose Senate passed a bill that 11 years is legal age for a girl to be frolicking with men?

Patricia Ette couldn't make it.

This is a country where Islamic culture propagated by many decades of military dictatorship by Muslim soldiers deeply influenced men to regard women as tools, or even an inferior specie of mankind.

Are you irredeemably daft? Didn't you know that AN IGBO LADY SENATOR, CHRIS ANYANWU, PDP IMO STATE, sponsored the '11-year old age for female sex' bill

You could choose a life of bigotry, that is your cup of tea and the cup of tea of your low-life clan and generations yet unborn, but, please don't TELL BARE-FACED LIES here! Not everyone on Nairaland is a lost case, nut-head, or nincompoop like you and members of your bigoted clan!

This belligerent Dogara Group are taking their importance level beyond the elbow...How could any sane party member boycott a meeting called by the Vice President? How? What sort of foolish arrogance is that?

No matter the axe they have to grind with Tinubu, Gbajabiamila or anyone, can't they respect the office of the VP and even listen, even if they will eventually refuse to heed the outcome of the meeting?

I just hope Jibrin, Dino, and co (former PDP members) would not destroy their party...

Meanwhile, if it was the Otuoke Daft, The Clueless One, The Stupidly Meek One, Jonathan, he would have travelled with over 250-man delegation! Buhari travelled with just 20, who had things to do there.

Jonathan would have taken loads of people to such events just for the sake of US dollar estacode and to do shopping...

Jorussia:
Appoint ministers to be screened by the 8th senate that has been inaugurated inside your parlour abi?My guy just be reasonable abeg

Thank you, my brother. Some people are just so daft! How could Buhari have appointed Ministers when the 8th Assembly that will screen them will only be inaugurated tomorrow, Tuesday, June 9 2015?

If people must criticize, they must do so with facts and some measure of intelligence.

Thanks for putting the clown where he belonged, lol.

Chigold101:
Buhari is guilty of the same. Aisha was 13 when Buhari took her as a wife...lolzzz

Would you just grow up and stop ranting gibberish and absolute lies? Are you daft, demented, or just mischievous?

A woman (Aisha Buhari) who was born in 1970 and got married in 1989 couldn't have been 13 nah! Use your brain, even if it's full of saw dust. At least you have it in your miserable skull, lol

chuna1985:
I hope na ima simple math

1989 till now is 26 years...

If she's 40 years d now, 40 - 26 = 14.

She was 14 years old wen she got married to baba one chance.

Aisha Buhari was born in 1970, meaning that she's 45 years old. Her bio is everywhere online. Stop being so shamelessly daft! She wasn't 14 when she married the President!

jaysniggs:
If you look closely, you will find out that some politicians in the north are the brain behind this nonsense.
Why defile an underage girl?
Of what purpose?
This is unbelievable

It's better to read and digest news items before displaying your unmitigated hatred and stupidity here. The bill was sponsored by a FEMALE APGA REP from the South-East! I'm not from the North but prejudice and hate induced statements like this is one of the reasons Nigeria is where it is today.

Use your brain; there's a reason God gave you one!

I wish Femi well. Interesting to see that both Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, Buhari's 2 spokesmen, were Presidents of Nigerian Guild of Editors. Garba was President several years ago.

Both men are seasoned, well respected media men.

I wish that they retain their solid reputation after this tour of duty unlike Reuben Abati!

Raymond Dokpesi- cowboy of Nigerian TV sub-sector. Corrupt to the bone. Friends with IBB, Jonathan and the corrupt gang.

Shameless man who sacked top staff several times and reinstated them only because of damning public opinion. Staff such as TV anchor, Gbenga Aruleba.

In spite of the billions he made from the PDP and ex-President Jonathan for defiantly airing hate campaigns against APC, Buhari, and Tinubu, he owes staff for almost 2 years!

But the staff too are a bit tactless- how could a patently wicked employer refuse to pay them for 17 months and they still remained on their jobs? How have they been surviving?

Mogidi:
The kids look like Hausas, abi they have Hausas in Niger?

A little refresh on history:

Hausa is the language most spoken across West Africa- spoken in Nigeria, Niger, Mali, Cameroun, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Chad. Reason BBC and VOA both have a dedicated Hausa service.

Yoruba is spoken in other parts of West Africa too- spoken in Nigeria, Benin Republic (there are Yoruba radio stations in that country), Togo, Sierra Leone. Yoruba people are also found in Brazil, Cuba, etc. Reason you hear names of Yoruba Lagosians like Da Silva, Da Costa, Wellington, Da Rocha, Agusto, Fernandez, Domingo, Vera Cruz, etc. And the Sierra Leone bit of Yoruba Lagosians bearing Williams, Willoughby, Cole, etc.

But for the scramble for Africa by the British, French, and Portuguese colonialists, this would have been the configuration of Nigeria today:

Northern Nigeria+Northern Cameroun+Southern Cameroun including Bakassi+Northern Chad+Northern Niger, would all have been in Nigeria
Old Dahomey (now Benin Republic)+South-West Nigeria would both have been in Nigeria

If you noticed, the singing group, of about 6 ladies who entertained the audience at the Buhari inauguration were from Niger Republic but they sang in Hausa all through...

History is funny. It appears that almost all tribes migrated from somewhere to another place...The current Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba S.K. Adetona, publicly said, some years ago, that Ijebu people migrated from Mecca!

Why won't they attack you? Over-pampered, over-fed toad. Living off Nigeria's scarce resources since age 12 at Military School till today (at almost 70 years old)...

efilefun:
This is a VP not the "Ghost Worker" we had for 6 years


May God Almighty help this Government move Nigeria Forward.

Lol. Sambo was indeed a 'ghost worker'. No real achievement attributable to him. Reason some PDP stalwarts in the North wanted Jonathan to replace him as running mate in 2015 elections. PDP is wicked.

They picked 2 slow-poke people (Jonathan and Sambo) as President and Vice President. Even in a marriage, having both husband and wife as very meek, docile, extremely gentle, and weak could lead to having dumb children, lol...

No wonder we are where we are as a nation.

slimmy05:
Buhari is as scam

Your father and members of your entire clan are a huge scam! Daft clown! Frustrated TANoid, GEJ fanatic. Your lord and master is busy gulping Hennessey and Ogogoro in Otuoke, Yrnagoa, and Port Harcourt, you are here displaying your inimitable daftness. slowpoke!

And some people will believe this story and will start insulting Buhari.

Mere conjecture, guess-work report, speculation and some Buhari haters are already foaming in the mouth! Are we this gullible as a people? The same way they released a bogus 40pman list of 'confirmed Ministers' without any single proof...

Discerning people should know that this is the season of 'guesswork journalism' by media outlets to either drive traffic to their websites or sell their newspapers to gullible Nigerians!

Until the man, Buhari, sends a list to the Senate, any story about appointments is mere rumor!

The most jobless Governor in the current political dispensation. He talks and issues press statements like breathing in air...

Does his clown have time to govern his people and see to their needs?

Garrulously empty clown. And this is a sate full of Professors!!!

There is Goodu o

David Mark, trained in the Army by Nigerian Government, Military Governor at age 34-35, Minister of Communication ('juicy portfolio') in his late 30s/early 40s, Senator since 1999, longest serving Senate President for 8 years (2007-2015), only Senator on a 5th consecutive term in the history of Nigerian politics...

He's been over-pampered by Nigeria's public funds all his life, why won't he disagree with Ribadu?

With his 2 (or 3) wives and many children all over the place, why won't he see nothing in being wasteful?

Governor Aregbesola was there too...

Interesting to see how negative and positive forces attract. A Judge? This beautiful? And the husband is a confirmed aggressive tout in mannerism, speech, and attitude.

Anyway, most marriages are divine. Humans can't decipher them...

Wike is married to this woman? God is great, lol

anigbajumo:
Exactly.....coz of Generals support.

Not so straightforward...The father of the PDP candidate, Umar Nasko, was a former General too and former FCT Minister, General Gado Nasko...

Not surprised. One of the worst Governors in the North in the last dispensation (together with Jonah Jang and Gabriel Suswan of Plateau and Benue respectively).

They were 'Governors do nothing'. Minna, the state capital, looks like a remote village with terrible pot-hole filled roads everywhere. Wonder how other towns in Niger state such as Kontagora, Agaie, Bida, Borgu, etc look like...

Solid genes- beautiful daughter, handsome son, and even a more handsome old General at 72...

Comments everywhere online (blogs, newspapers, etc) suggesting that is indeed a new dawn.

Expectations are very high- but we know Buhari will perform very well. Stealing will be seen as corruption and the mindlessly corrupt will now think twice. Anyone close to top civil servants will know that the music has changed. Says a lot about good and honest leadership. Only by body language, most corrupt people are sweating already, lol
