The Jannjaweeds will support social media bully against any one that was or is against buhari. Thats how shallow they are. That's how they will want to attack any one who criticizes buhari's government.

Shame on them.

APC attacked Jona for things like this.

He spoke the fact.

I would have said put the name of the company here so that people can join forces against them. Also, note that those who say" If I perish I perish" do not perish. check history.

For me, I'm not interested in Buhari for now, until after May 29. My guys in the media are taking positions. We shall get the right formation for the team and our president will have to be really above board. Any attempt for Osinbajo to act as a de facto president will result in a well published negative feedback.

Buhari will be the face of government and he has to be really forthcoming. We shall help his government to deliver or die.

every one knows that with the allocation of akwa ibom state, The APC candidate will kill to be governor. He was in government too, looted and now wants to forcefully kill to have his way.

was it not there we saw a girl without her head the other day?

it's against the law. That's Impunity and highhandedness on display.

All I see is APC desperation in Lagos. Let's stop being economical with the truth. words on the street shows that Agbaje is the preferred candidate.
We know those who are pushing these things this far.

muzzol:
I doff my hat for the school that awarded such an intelligent person like you a certificate. But sir, wouldn't you join the bandwagon of people saying Nigerian graduates are unemployable if a Nigerian graduate postulate that there is possibility of multiple entry of data of an individual in a database configured with biometric elements? My dear, its always wise to reread anything we want to put on public domains as they express much about us. Cheers.

Did you just choose to be ignorant?. You seriously think people don't have more than one PVC?

May we look at the message and leave the messenger?....

Things are sometimes sweet and at another time sour. Tomorrow is pregnant.These points from Femi, may not matter to some people today. It will matter tomorrow.

Now this is fuuckry going fuuckkkiing too far.

What will Buhari say about this? You see why I dindn't agree with the "Change" They have been chanting about?

where is all this coming from? is a yoruba man the senate president?

Are they making noise about it?

I think APC should thrown in the towel.

For me, I'm home already here in Lagos, monitoring my environment in Ajah area, every thing is okay, only the alarmist will say otherwise.

Tomorrow!!! I shall go and Vote GEJ. I believe him and will vote him and leave the rest to God.

Ambode somehow does forget, he is the person running for election. well, he'd know when the election result is announced. His campaign in not focused. The guy keeps chanting Change!!.

Publishing names of security officer by Sahara Reporters is a ploy to undermine the security of both the society and the life of the officers. Sahara reporters is becoming just too desperate. SR is doing this country a disservice. This is serious security breach for God sake.

So what do they now want us to do?

I'm not happy with SH.

I really feel sad with news like this, because This is the real sentiments of this presidential election. However, some folks down south play the ostrich.

Anyone with a sense of history Know what is happening in the country. Nigerians This election is just too serious and delicate. Do not vote for Boko Haram sympathizers. Do not vote for Buhari. If you do it at this time when these guys up north are not yet sober, It will be dangerous.

Do not Vote Buhari!!!

socialmediaman:
If it pains you too much that he truncated democracy, then you would've presented a better candidate from the PDP, it would not be an excuse for your party to insult Nigerians, offering them Jonathan. Even an 18 year old may win Jonathan in this election, everyone knows that

What I replied you was the raw truth. I beg you leave this APC train alone. They are manipulating you. See what a patriotic Nigerian wrote.

[b]Between 1983 and 1985, Peter Onu of Nigeria was Acting Secretary-General of the OAU. At the 1985 Summit in Addis Ababa, statesmen like Julius Nyerere, President of Tanzania, lobbied for his election as substantive Secretary-General. However, there was a major stumbling block to Peter Onu’s candidature: his Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari, was campaigning against him.


Buhari claimed: “This generation of Nigerians and indeed future generations have no other country than Nigeria.” But when the crunch came, his allegiance to Nigeria disappeared. In the election of the OAU Secretary-General in 1985, Buhari voted against Nigeria and for Niger instead. He secured the election of Ide Oumarou, a Fulani man from Niger; as opposed to an Igbo man from Nigeria. By so doing, Buhari became the first and only Head of State in the history of modern international relations to vote against his country in favour of his tribe.

Years later, General Buhari marched all the way from Daura to Ibadan to demand of Oyo State Governor, Lam Adeshina: “Why are your people killing my people?” Again, he was not referring to Nigerians as his people. Instead, he was an advocate for the rights of murderous Fulani herdsmen who killed Yoruba farmers that objected to their cattle grazing on their land and damaging their crops. This same Buhari who voted against Nigeria in 1985, and said in 2003: “Muslims should only vote those who will promote Islam,” is now shopping for votes nationwide. He should be rejected outright.

Ignorance running riot

If APC had wanted to be taken seriously, it would have come up with a better presidential material than Buhari. There is something anomalous about a party whose mantra is change, recycling a 73 year old man as its candidate for the president of modern Nigeria. Buhari has little or no understanding of public policy. That is why APC will always come up with some excuse or the other not to have him participate in a debate with Jonathan. Buhari fought corruption by imposing ridiculous 300-year sentences on offenders. He fought exam malpractices by imposing 24-year prison sentences on school children.

He dealt with indiscipline by flogging people to queue at bus-stops. He dealt with food shortages by sending soldiers to break into private warehouses and shops. He fought trade imbalances by taking Nigeria back to the stone age of trade by barter (counter-trade). He sought to extradite a Nigerian from Britain by drugging and crating him.

There is so much about Buhari ending the Boko Haram insurgency as he did the Maitatsine insurgency in the 1980s. But the General needs to be advised that Boko Haram is not Maitatsine. Maitatsine was in two towns: Boko Haram is in three states with spillover effects into others. Maitatsine fought with bows and arrows: Boko Haram fights with sophisticated weapons. Maitatsine was a local insurgency, Boko Haram is an international phenomenon.

Anti-corruption hypocrisy: Buhari does not know what corruption means and how to fight it. He became Nigeria’s Head of State through the corruption of a coup d’état and he then tried to fight corruption with corruption. Imposing retroactive decrees and killing Nigerians under them is corruption. Putting an Igbo vice-president in Kirikiri, while placing the Fulani president under palatial house arrest, is corruption.

Detaining people like Michael Ajasin in jail, even after they were discharged and acquitted by kangaroo courts, is corruption. Jailing journalists for telling the truth is corruption. Putting pressure on a judge in order to jail Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is corruption. Shepherding 53 suitcases of contraband unchecked through Customs during a currency change exercise is corruption. Swearing an affidavit that your school-leaving certificate is with the military when it is not, is corruption.

Transforming Nigeria: Buhari’s shameful past is dwarfed by the achievements of Goodluck Jonathan. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has emerged as by far the largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $503 billion; nearly double the previous estimates. South Africa now comes a distant second with $350 billion. With the unbundling of PHCN after 52 years of gridlock, and with now the realizable target of 20,000 megawatts of electricity by 2020, Nigeria’s GDP will soon double that of South Africa.

CNN Money projects that the fastest growing economy in the world in 2015 will be China (7.3% growth rate); followed by Qatar (7.1%); and then followed by Nigeria (7%). This belies all the misinformation about the Nigerian economy dished out by the APC and attests to the astute management of the economy by the Jonathan administration. The seemingly ambitious Vision 20 2020, proclaimed under the Abacha regime to make Nigeria one of the 20 largest economies in the world by 2020 is now well in sight. Today, Nigeria is already the 23rd largest economy in the world. Kudos to Jonathan, we have overtaken such European countries as Austria and Belgium.

Life expectancy

In 2010, when Jonathan became acting president, life expectancy in Nigeria was 47 years. Today, it is 54 years; an improvement of seven years. Adroit application of SURE-P funds has reduced the maternal mortality ratio in Nigeria by 26%. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has become Guinea Worm-free; a disease previously affecting 800,000 Nigerians yearly. In the last six months, there has been no new case of polio in Nigeria. If this goes on for another two and a half years, Nigeria will be declared polio-free.

Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, hailed Nigeria’s fight against polio as one of the great world achievements of 2014. He said: “The infrastructure Nigeria has built to fight polio actually made it easier for them to swiftly contain Ebola. The fact that Nigeria is now Ebola-free is a great example of how doing the work to fight things like fighting polio also leaves countries better prepared to deal with outbreaks of other diseases.”

Investors’ haven: In the last three years, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has ranked Nigeria as the number one country for foreign investments in Africa. We also receive more home-remittances than any other African country; a vote of confidence in our economy by Nigerians living abroad. They remitted $23 billion in 2013, a figure far more than the $18 billion received by Egypt; the country with the second highest home remittance in Africa. It is a testament to Goodluck Jonathan’s adroit management of the Nigerian economy that the richest African is now a Nigerian.

In 2010, when Jonathan came to power, Aliko Dangote was the 463rd richest man in the world, with a total fortune of $2.1 billion. Today, he is the 23rd richest man in the world, with a total fortune of $25 billion. Dangote’s billions are “made in Nigeria.” Indeed, under Jonathan, Nigeria now has the fourth highest rate of returns on investments in the world, according to UNCTAD.

Crisis of unemployment

The big challenge has to do with jobs. Every year, another 1.8 million people are offloaded into the job market. However, while the APC says Buhari will create 720,000 jobs a year if elected, Jonathan created 1.6 million jobs in 2013. He has established such innovative programmes as Nagropreneurs and YOUWIN that support young farmers and entrepreneurs with grants, training and mentorship. He has also instituted internship schemes to enhance the capacity of university graduates to secure gainful employment.

The unemployment problem is compounded by the more than doubling of the education budget under Jonathan. Every Nigerian child now has the opportunity to go to school. Indeed, there has been a 10 million increase in school enrolment in Nigeria under this government. There has also been a 75% increase in O’ Level credit pass in Maths and English. Jonathan established 125 Almajiri schools in 13 northern states. He also established 14 new federal universities. There is now a federal university in every state. Indeed, the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls derives from the disenchantment of the Boko Haram that many Northern girls are now going to school.

Dealing with corruption: According to Transparency International, Nigeria has not become more corrupt under Goodluck Jonathan. Out of 178 countries ranked in 2010, Nigeria was the 134th most corrupt country. In 2014, Nigeria was ranked 136th. Unlike Buhari, Jonathan understands that corruption has to be attacked institutionally, from the roots. Therefore, he proposed the abrogation of the petroleum subsidy; one of the biggest avenues for corruption in government. However, Nigerians refused. Jonathan has sanitized the corruption in fertilizer distribution. The Minister of Agriculture, Akinwumi Adesina, lamented that between 1980 and 2010, Nigeria lost 776 billion naira to corrupt fertilizer racketeering.

Fertiliser racketeering

That effectively came to an end under Jonathan. Through the innovative e-wallet system, farmers are given cell-phones through which they now have direct and easy access to government-provided fertilizer, chemicals and seedlings. Jonathan has also sanitised the banking system by removing dinosaur managing directors, recovering indigent loans and using AMCON to mop up bad loans. By instituting e-payment systems, he sanitized the civil service by removing 50,000 ghost-workers in one fell swoop. He has equally got rid of ghost voters from the electoral register; over 1 million ghost voters were removed from the Zamfara INEC register alone. Under Jonathan, we have had free and fair elections one after the other; in Edo, Anambra, Ondo, Ekiti and Osun.

Agriculture has been transformed under this administration. Thanks to Jonathan, agriculture now accounts for 22% of Nigeria’s GDP, more than oil and gas which only account for 15.9%. Under Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded a more than 50% reduction in food imports. Prior to his presidency, we had a food import bill of 1.4 trillion naira. But now, it is less than N700 billion. With the innovation of dry season rice-farming, Nigeria has reached 60% self-sufficiency in rice production. According to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), Nigeria is now the largest producer of cassava in the world. The Jonathan government built six strategically-located perishable cargo airports in Ilorin, Jalingo, Jos, Lagos, Makurdi andYola; in close proximity to Nigeria’s food baskets.

It is remarkable that Northern farmers were able to donate five million tubers of yam in order to raise 5 billion naira for Buhari’s presidential election campaign. If Jonathan’s transformation agenda in agriculture was not working as planned, they would not have been able to do this.

Please Vote wisely. Vote Jonathan.

He is not gona stop. there's nothing you can do. He should give is life to christ. let God do the rest.

If this is true, then I'm in support 100% and any APC hypocrite who is against this should cover their face in shame Because their anti corruption chant as all smoke screen. they want the system to remain so that they can loot.

socialmediaman:
If these questions are valid, then i am sorry for a country where anyone is free to be an insurgent if he wishes, and he is only asked about such membership when election is approaching. A country where a person is free to loot a state treasury for as long as he wants, then a siting president in control of the anti-corruption agencies will only play a video to the public alleging fraud against his opponent. You may not realize it till after the election when you'll start shifting blames, but these campaign of smearing has only strenghtened the resolve of undecided voters against this present government

You have no point.

after all. You don't see anything wrong for someone who truncated democracy to come back to seek office through the institution he destroyed.

aren't you sad that the criminals were being shamed? If you were sincere, you'd know that you don't need the government to begin the process of prosecuting those who are being shamed. it will be more patriotic for you to take it up from there. or you think individuals can't take a sitting government to court? If the government don't prosecute your loved criminals, take it up as a civic responsibility. That's if you truly hate looting.

You can't claim to hate looting, yet you hate the looters being shamed. If that is the case, then you can't convince me that you'd love them to be prosecuted.

If you see noting wrong for someone who killed to become head of state and achieved nothing, wanting to return to power and You feel pained that those you agreed have looted the state are being shamed; Then you are a hypocrite and have no justification whatsoever, to criticize a president who is working extra hard to restructure this country, build institutions, resurrect the dead infrastructure etc; in spite of your baseless accusations and self induced despondency, that you want to diabolically transfer to others with the aim of grabbing power.

Learn from History, That Old despot said exactly the same thing, did it 30 years ago and had no legacy to his name. If not, he'd be telling us what he achieved then.

Go and sleep please.

This is Good news.

Don't expect those who didn't like the military victory against Boko haram to like this.

We shall recover all.

Vote GEJ.

FFK asked very valid question. However, APC want to look at it, is their own business. I'll wish Buhari answers the simple and straight forward questions.

The questions are based on buhari's antecedents, His history, his true self, his belief and ideals. If he want's to be the president, Then those questions should not be too much to answer. FFK should be commended for bringing things like this to the public knowledge.

If it's a lie, GMB should come out and tell us the truth. Besides, some of these things are things we already knew.

For what GEJ have done, they have been well published. Only that the APC just want to dismiss them. Everything have not been done, But a lot have been done. We have asked GMB, to tell us his legacies when he was head of state, we cant find any positive.

A patriotic Nigerian have done justice to the GEJ and Buhari question here;

http://dailypost.ng/2015/02/04/femi-aribisala-president-jonathan-superior-presidential-material-buhari/

Buhari should answer the questions as they are very valid. we can't turn history on its head because of Buhari.

focus7:
your usual lies and propaganda.

To you it can be a lie. what difference does it make?

There were Hundreds of APC thugs carrying dangerous weapons during APC/ buhari rally at surulere, the other day. we saw them...one of the presenters in Nigeria info saw them too and said it on radio. But who has time to be taking photograph to post on Nairaland. there's no point to prove.

The documentary is the truth...Those who trivialize it are under spell

WTF?

sorry b

Of all, No One could fault Oritsejafor is his statement, because he said the truth.

Sentiments and Lies aside, This man have always said the truth.

For me, I don't trust Buhari nor his environment.

Fashola Playing politics with security. Tomorrow, he and is supporters will point to another direction to put the blame.

There have been killings, robbery and even Kidnapping here in Lagos; when GEJ was not around. some of the stories are in this forum. Did fashola make any statement on them or take responsibility? Look, It takes intelligence to follow people like fashola, coz they can reduce you to a goat. Some persons can't even critique fashola's opinion these days. so shameful.

There is always security readjustment even with fashola so what the heck is he saying. the other day he was coing to Ajah area, There was security readjustment.

Well I now have More reasons not to Vote anything APC.
