so that is the qualification of Buhari? military trainings? no wonder he is so unintelligent and dictatorial! coupled with honorary degrees? how sad. and you call him educated? how sad of you. it shows the level of your expectations as a person. you definitely didnt go thru the four walls of a university else you will never have posted what you just posted. i feel insulted and degraded taking with you. ciao!

maybe you are a Nigerian living in haiti or malaysia so you dont have a clue what is going on back here. Bayelsa state is one of the fastest growing states in Nigeria. go find out. the AMAA awards just ended there where participants came from all over the world and were hosted perfectly and they enjoyed themselves. go read their comments online. the state has been hosting the awards for the past 7 years now. the state is positioning itself as the next movie hub of Africa and training their people to take over the industry. you dont have a clue and you just go on and on unintelligibly. the state has now joined the national grid. the state now has a law school campus. please!

and to show our inept you are, you are asking for a presidents achievements after 10months in office. though i could list some here but i consider that a stupid question. not even Obama was reviewed after 10months in office. of course you are a Buhari supporter who believes Nigeria's problems will be fixed in one year. dumb! dumber! dumbest!

maybe you missed my reply, here it is again:

replying you is like a waste of time because your posts are too unintelligent. with all due respect. i like to engage in an intelligent discuss, not an unintelligent rant, the likes of which you get from Buhari. i can understand his case because he is an uneducated mallam. but i cant understand yours.
PoliticsRe: Official Thread Of The Bon Nedg Presidential Debate by edicolove: 8:34am On Mar 31, 2011
Nigerians don't know what they want

Can GEJ be any party's presidential candidate if OBJ did not punish Nigerians by installing Yaradua and GEJ?
no, he wont be because the north will never have allowed a south south person to rule them. that is why they ridiculed him for 4 months and refused him even when the constitution naturally bestowed the acting presidency on him and the right to be the next president after his predecessor fell sick. you are simply carrying on this message of "north is born to rule". if you people dont want us, please let us go and be our own country. we are sick and tired of this dominance. we will resist it with everything we have got. look how the almajiris are crying for Buhari just because he is from the north. it is shameful. but we wont have it again. mark my words. thank God for OBJ!

Except you have been living in a cave, you'd know that no one has been able to attract huge crowds in the whole of Nigeria except Buhari (especially in the NW, NC and part of SW), you claim you're educated, yet you preach falsehood everywhere you post, for your information, there are CPC senators and house of rep in various houses, just go and do your research before posting rubbish.

CPC is one of the youngest party in Nigeria, but has one of the highest number of supporters in this same Nigeria just because of the attribute of one man called Buhari.

You claim you traveled through 5 states but couldn't find CPC supporters that could fill a carton, first and foremost, how can a human being be put in a carton? even a 7yrs old child can't be put in a carton, your analogy is poor, sick and irresponsible, if people don't like him, how come his campaigns are always filled up from Ibadan to ogun state to benin city to benue, to kogi, to kwara, to Minna to kano e.t.c? have you seen any of his campaign threads at all? do yourself a favor, get educated by going through the politics section, alot of threads were set up just for his campaigns, pictures are there for even the blind to see.


All said and done, come April 2nd, you are going to be seeing more CPC candidates becoming CPC senators and house of rep members.


As for Goodluck, how can someone who is running to become our president come May 29 be telling us that he had no shoes when he was growing up? is that what is required of a president? do you know how many of us that never wore shoes to school? do we all now say we should also be running for president since we also didn't have shoes? do you know how much GEJ is worth? more than 3 BILLION NAIRA and he's here telling us he's one of us?

How did he make 3 billion naira between 1999 and 2007? he was a mere lecturer receiving 50k pre-1999, now he's worth 3 billion naira, even his market woman wife is worth more than 232 million naira, how did she earn that? what has she been doing to earn that? where has she worked? can someone tell me about her work experience?

Buhari having tasted juicy political positions is not even worth up to what GEJ's wife is worth and you want me to vote for GEJ who stole all the money in Bayelsa just within 2yrs he was governor with the help of his wife?

One more thing, he said he never dreamt to be the president of Nigeria, how come he's now trying all his possible best to remain one? he never had any vision of becoming the president, what then is he looking for in ASO rock?

Being Nigeria's president is not on a sheer luck, it's what you sit down, think about, have an idea of, believe you are better than the current ones and those vying to become one before jetting out to contest, GEJ never had any of this plan (his confession, it's on TV and even on his campaign advert).

Open your eyes, stop living in corruption, you must be benefiting from it, hence the reason you want to die with corrupt people.
One more question, IF OBJ HAD NOT GONE OUT TO PUNISH NIGERIANS BY PUTTING YARADUA AND GEJ ON THAT SEAT, WOULD ANY POLITICAL PARTY have put up GEJ as their presidential candidate?

Someone should ANSWER this question PLS.
I AM VERY SORRY. I APOLOGISE. I THOUGHT I WAS TALKING TO AN INTELLIGENT PERSON. I JUST REALISED YOU ARE A BUHARI SUPPORTER. ITS MY MISTAKE. PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE ME. CHEERS.

Buhari is no saint but still the cleanest among the top shots, he is the only one that his word can be believed by his teaming supporters, even those that are known to be his enemies know him to be someone who does not double speak, he does what he says.

His 3 strongest aura are :

Integrity
Consistency
Honesty
I guess he is as honest as a man who doesnt drink alchohol in his house but can drink it outside. funny

I call that hypocrisy. most mallams are hypocrites

And what difference is there between this act by Ribadu and your benefactor GEJ. Afterall it's on record that GEJ called IBB his father, mentor and adviser. If you live in a glass house, you should be wise enough not to throw stones. Unfortunately for your likes, including your benefactor 'clueless' GEJ, wisdom is an attribute which you all lack.
All you can do is throw insults and you talk about wisdom? nah! you have very little of it. For the records, GEJ has never walked out on anyone, including IBB. That is the difference between GEJ and the rest. he is not an hypocrite. so the question of living in glass houses has no relevance here. you are the ones that have put forward Ribadu and Buhari as saints. so you are the ones being called to question here, not GEJ.
PoliticsRe: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by edicolove: 6:34am On Mar 31, 2011
The 2011 election is base on individual and not about the political parties. For instance:
Buhari - Many Nigerian supports him for presidency, but may vote candidates from other parties in other categories of the election.
GEJ - Some for his name and personal likeness and not about PDP
Ribadu - For some its about his character and prospect and not necessarily about ACN

In all, when you consider their personalities, prospects, what Nigeria needs, affiliations and what can be achieved - you will naturally like most Nigerian, support Buhari for Presidency with all the vigor in you.

Lets make it happen, Vote Buhari
You must be in dreamland. i have just traveled thru 5 states and still cant find enough Buhari supporters to fill a carton. You Buhari supporters are disillusioned. the only place he has had large crowds are in the north showing the north just want their person to come back to power, not because they actually really like him. he is a tribal candidate at best and you want us to support him. you must be joking.

It seems you forgot to mention GEJ's name amongst the so called performing governors from the PDP. Abi GEJ no attain the status of a state governor again?

Yes OBJ reduced our National debt, but GEJ has now led us back into the league of "onigbese" (debtor) countries.
"Another mallam has brought back the debt"? Are you kidding me? How much was the debt value of Nigeria when UMYA passed and how much is it today? Even in your hysteria, delusion and frustration the several lies you tainted you myopic post with are not as obvious as this one.
Haba! Must you tell lies to support tour skewed reasoning? Abegi go siddon!
When people cant discuss intelligently or are bereft of points for their arguments, they resort to insults, just like their mentor Buhari is doing. I wish they can learn from the Atiku experience.

PoliticsRe: Do Non - Northerners Support Buhari? by edicolove: 7:24pm On Mar 30, 2011
Are you guys done with your misguided and warped reasoning? If you two are anywhere half as intelligent as a primary school kid, you'd have taken you time to read more intelligent posts where all these baseless beer parlor rumors and accusations about Buhari have been thoroughly dealt with.
If Buhari was a weakling to have allowed Idiagbon to steal the show, does that not tell you the kind of a leader he is? A good leader is not the one who does all the job, but the one who allows his subordinates the free hand necessary for them to perform the jobs effectively. A good leader leads and directs his subordinates towards achieving his dreams and aspirations.
BTW, the last time I checked Idiagbon was not with Buhari during the latter's days as head of PTF.

Let's just agree to your false claim that PTF's projects were lopsided (an allegation which remains unproven to date) during Buhari's 4 years as head of the organization, abeg make una show us the lopsided project wey GEJ and PDP have executed in their 12 years in power.

Writing long epistles filled with lies and half-truths is not in anyway synonymous to high level of intelligence, but can be easily likened to a blabbing individual who is bereft of any idea on the issues he attempts to discuss.

And just to add, anyone talking about PDP being bad doesnt know what he is talking about. PDP has produced some of the finest governors n the country including, Donald Duke, Rotimi Amaechi, Godswill Akpabio and others. Please stop echoing t, he ACN propaganda. Fashola has not even matched Duke's achievements. Lagos is a planned state. it has had structures long before Fashola took over. Fashola just improved on it. the only new thing fashola has done is the BRT buses and he transformed area boys into LASTMA and KAI officials. Duke built Tinapa and Ogudu ranch from the scratch. El Rufai transformed Abuja into a world class metropolitan city. he was PDP remember? please stop spewing this ACN propaganda. PDP did have their fair share of bad governance in people like Ibori, Uduaghan and Lucky Igbinedion( the worst of then all). But to say the party failed completely is nothing but ACN propaganda. EVEN OBJ completely reduced our national debt to Zero. unfortunately, another mallam has brought back the debt. and you want to vote a mallam in again? and please dont let me start with parties like ACN. A party that just hand picked candidates and tried to justify it and they where the ones accusing PDP for years of being undemocratic and having God-fatherism . talk about the pot calling the kettle black. ACN is a den of woves in sheeps clothing. They almost replaced Fashola as Lagos candidate if not that they saw they were going to loose if they did that. they refer to Fashola as one their examples of good governance but fought with him for most of the last 3 years. taking him to court, trying to impeach him, ridiculing his government as corrupt on TV and the papers. who are they fooling? lets not even talk about CPC and Buhari that has been jumping from party to party just because of his dictatorial characteristics and fraternizing with the Abachas. case closed.

GEJ has shown ten times more maturity than Buhari who acts like a spoilt child and whines at everything. He doesnt even reply his critics. Buhari talks from his ass just like Atiku. Now he is saying GEJ should be held responsibe if there is rigging a sign that he is already afraid he will loose and will not accept his loss peacefully because he thinks it is his right to rule Nigeria. shameless old man.

let us analyze this man Buhari. 1. He was so weak while he was a president, his second in command overshadowed him till today. He was so weak, the coup that ousted him was one of the simplest in the history of Nigeria. Not one gun was shot, His leadership ineptitude was so blatant, that he didnt even have loyalists in the army who stood up for him. Every coup is normally bloody because the ruling person normally has his own boyz who would die for him. Buhari had no support in the army and was removed like a toothless bulldog. All that was required to remove him was to wait for his deputy to travel. 2. This same Buhari was made the head of PTF and he took over 70% of PTF projects to the north. How can anyone from the Niger Delta talk of voting for this man? I am amazed. He is a typical example of those who believe the north was born to rule and that is why he is still trying to come back at an old age. Anybody who says we should forget about tribal sentiments, with all due respect, does not know what he is talking about. The north is talking about voting north, whatever the case, you are talking about voting anyone. when shall we stop shooting ourselves in the foot. cant you open your eyes and see these guys dont believe we are one? They see you as second citizens and you have a chance to correct that and you are planning to throw it away. God forbid! people talk about corruption and power and infrastructure. the biggest problem in Nigeria are not all those. those are secondary. the first and biggest problem in Nigeria is that we are not one and we do not see ourselves as equal citizens. The day we settle that, everything else will fall into place. that is why many have been calling for a sovereign conference to address that fundamental anomaly. Imagine what GEJ went thru when for 4 months, he was told to his face that he could not rule Nigeria because he was from the south south. Instead, these same northerners forced us to accept a terminally sick president ruling us thru proxies. even Imams defended it in their mosques. This is so sad. now we are talking about competence. since when has a mallam become competent enough to rule a nation. see what their rule has cost us for about 39years of Nigerian existence. for years, they have been killing our people in their cities. please please please dont make me cry. i dont know what is wrong with us. "I TOO KNOW" can not even describe it. it is worse than that.

people just follow the band wagon sometimes and say things that are not facts. a product of propaganda press we have in Nigeria. First, Buhari is the main problem we have, in Nigeria today. He truncated our democracy and tried to justify it by saying the politicians were corrupt at a time when it was about 2naira to a dollar. The worst democracy is better that the best military regime. He with that singular act, plunged us into 17 dark years of military rule and retrogression. He should be tried and jailed for that alone. By now we would have learnt our foundational lessons in democracy and improved greatly. now we are learning at an old age. he didnt even have any road map or plan back to democracy after 20months. that means he was planning to be a life military ruler. now he wants to be voted in thru the ballot. what an insult to Nigerians. He has not even been able to answer the 53 briefcases accusation, he has refered it to Atiku who has confirmed that they were undeed true and that Buhari's men did not allow it to be searched. so much for being a saint. the man would have been worse than IBB if he had ruled for even 4 years. God just saved us from him and we are not greatful.

PoliticsRe: Obasanjo's Testimony Of Buhari. by edicolove: 2:26pm On Mar 20, 2011
Anyone who says Buhari didn't do anything in his first tenure is either insane or blind. I presume most people posting here and making senseless comments were kids during Buhari's tenure in 1984. Someone even said the only thing he did was flog people on the street!

Check our economic indices during that period! Check the strength of our currency then! Check the reforms and the orderliness things were done in! Check the quality of educational system at that time!

Ever since he left all these have continued on a downward slide!

I will vote BB! Certainly!

I cannot decide who you should vote for, but please don't vote PDP! Please don't vote a corrupt government in again!
You have just shown that
1. You were a kid or werent even born in 1984 and
2. You have no knowledge or clue about economics.

First, Buhari ruled for 20 months. The state of the country when he ruled was a result of policies that was made before he took over, bad or good. no government anywhere in the world can change a country in so short a period. When you make a policy as a government, it takes time before the effects of that policy begin to show. Sometimes, it takes even years and sometimes decades. The strength of our currency and economic indices in 1984-85 was not as a result of what Buhari did. It was a result of policies made years before and for your information, it was bad. it was already on a downward slide. As at 1977, it was 2 dollar to 1 naira. by 1984-85, it was already on a downward slide and has continued to be ever since.

This is why anyone who say's Jonathan's policies have failed is an ignoramus. His policy impact cannot be felt until at least 1 to 2 years. the economic situation you have now is not a result of Jonathan but from policies created few years back. some cases from policies created decades back. Buhari did nothing. he didnt make any single economic or political policy. he spent the little time he had in power flogging people on the streets. tell me one economic policy that was established when he was in power. Even Babangida tried to establish some economic policies. whether they were successful or not is another matter but he did try to put some policies in place. Buhari did nothing but tried to establish a military state treating Nigeria like a barrack. The guy is not even a democrat. HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A PLAN BACKTO DEMOCRACY AFTER 20 MONTHS. He never wanted to return the country back to democracy. He wanted to be a long term military head of state. that ambition has never changed. thats why he is still trying to cling on to power even after so many years. why cant he just groom new blood and promote them.

please if you want to promote a candidate, please start by promoting a democrat not a dictator. then we can discuss. Buhari is not even morally qualified.

It doesn't matter who brings food to the table as long as the food is quality and sufficient. GEJ has failed in this respect so Buhari that has done it b4 can coordinate ppl to do it again.


Sometimes I get amazed by the things i see people say on these boards.

What hasa Buhari done b4? He ruled for 20 months and did nothing but flog people on the streets. he didnt create one job. he didnt have any economic blueprint. he didnt even have a plan back to democracy. So where did you get the story that he did something before? And secondly how long has GEJ being in power for you to say he has failed. By all political and economic standards, you cannot even judge GEJ. Whether his policies are good or bad, you cannot even tell within the time frame he has spent. I wonder at the ignorance people dish out sometimes.

Where you expecting him to fix Nigeria in like 8 months? You should look at the presidential candidates and vote for someone you feel has a vision good enough for the future not someone who tells you he can fix Nigeria immediately because that would be a BIG LIE. No one can automatically fix Nigeria. It will take time and I dont think buhari is that visionary kind of person because he clearly had no vision in 1983-85. And now he is even too old for this. he should retire instead of trying to cling to power by all means. The world has moved forward, ousting old leaders in favour of young visionary men. Why is Nigeria always a different place? We are the cause of our suffering because at a time when God is bringing us young vibrant leadership with vision, we are talking about voting the old guard again. Buhari is a recycled product from the old stock. He has expired. please dont take us backward.

Buhari was a failure back then and is still a failure today. The support by the almajiris is not a plus. It is an indictment on him. Anyone whom the Almajiris support is someone that defends their atrocities and gives them food daily. Thats not a good thing, its an indictment. just like pa Adedibu. these are the people that use the Almajiris for all kinds of nefarious activities.

For cying out loud sake you are so abhorring! How can you insist on a lie even when you are caught pants down? Nigeria joined OIC in 1986 during IBB's era, and Nigerian remains a member of the organization up till this very moment.
Below is the official website of OIC listing Nigeria as a full member and the year Nigeria joined the organization. Nigeria is a full member. If you check the site well, you'll also find some observing states (countries) who are yet to be full members.
Go back and tell you folks, who ever amongst them filled you with this lie to retract their statements.

You didn't say Abacha annuled June 12 but you claimed Buhari supported it. Even a blind man can see through your lies.
------------------------------------------

For your information you cannot consider yourself an OIC member when you do not pay the dues and attend their  meetings. tell me, who is Nigeria's permanent representative to the OIC? You just go to a site and read what you find there and you come back  here and post it as fact and you accuse me of ignorance because i  didnt do the same blind stuff you did. OIC was first introduced in Nigeria by Murtala Mohamed. He didnt get a chance to really pursue it. OBJ shoved it aside. From 1976, the rumbles and complains had been there about Nigeria  joining OIC. If they wrote 1986 on their site,  that doesnt mean it was the time Nigeria joined because Nigeria  had been attending meetings and participating a long time before  then. In fact, it was one  of those such meetings that Idiagbon attended  when they were overthrown. He had a meeting with the Saudi king. CAN had been raising their  voices and concerns for years. Babangida tried to use  it in 1986 to play politics to get nothern support but he later had to drop it. Nigeria did not officially annouce her withdrawal from the organisation but they stopped participating like they used to. Abacha didnt take it serious. So i know what i am talking about and i believe you were very small then

kobojunkie,

it is obvious you were born in the 80s. that is why you are trying to google what people like us experienced. Buhari not IBB, registered us in OIC. Also,, i didnt say Abacha annuled june 12. where in my post did you read that. Abacha was a beneficiary of the annulment. So anyone who didnt support the annulment would not quickly join the abacha government. sighting jakande and soyinka and tinubu doesnt help your argument. who ever said they were honest men. soyinka has never been and will never be a honest man. he is still one of those who created the cultism monster we are facing today. he has always had his inclinations. tinubu and jakande are known thieves. so please dont use them as an excuse to vindicate Buhari.

I like your argument but please allow me.

1. To bring sanity to the wanton corruption going on in the society.

2. I didnt know he spent 2yrs, I thot he spent like 19months. Which was spent arresting the corrupt class and prosecuting the corrupt elements. Why would you accuse some of corruption and not sanitize the system first?

***can you name 1 corrupt person he prosecuted and jailed? it is very easy to follow the bandwagon and quote what others have said.


3. Can you dig out quotes where he supported the annulment of June 12 Cos this is new to me.
he supported the anulment because he never criticised Abacha and went on to take an appointment from him. dont forget he arrested Tai Solarin for protesting against his dictatorship and asking for elections

4. Buhari is a man of the people as you claimed here, He doesnt have any allegiance to any political class or some elites like Odechukwu does. His constituency and major supporters are the people of Nigeria not the cabal supporting Mumu president.

***I am not talking about being man of the people. if the almajiris is your only followership, it means you are a usurper not a leader. the almajiris are the most abused people in Naija and probably the world. Those who use them and use them as political leverage are heartless people. please ask anyone who lives or have lived in the north. Buhari does not have a masses following in the middle belt and south. He is not a natural leader. IBB is a natural leader. just unfortunate that he is corrupt.

5. Evidence that he tried to islamicize Nigeria.? he enlisted Nigeria in the organisation of islamic countries and attended meeting and paid the dues. Murtala Mohamed tried to do it but didnt live long enough to. Buhari implemented it and only after cries from the Christian community did IBB pull out

BUHARI  FOR ME

Well no one can argue that. its your choice


BUHARI FOR MY KIDS
you cant make that choice. they will vote their own choice when they grow up


BUHARI FOR MY FUTURE
well, you might be in real trouble because the guy is too old to plan for your future and the last time he ruled, he had no plan for the future. maybe you were too young then to observe. we had a redundant 2 years.

BUHARI FOR NIGERIA
well he doesnt believe in Nigeria. he always preaches a northern agenda. he tried to islamise Nigeria by enlisting us in the organisation of islamic countries and regularly paid the dues and attended the meetings.

BUHARI FOR HONESTY
well like i said he can be said to be honest as he onlyruled for 2 years. not long enough time to really loot. Banbangida did not loot much in his first 3 to  years

BUHARI FOR CHANGE
welll again. he cannot change anything because he is too old. he doesnt even know how to use the Internet, how can he effect any change. his idea of is military style brutality and humilation of Nigerians. imagine whipping people on the streets. is that your idea of change? animaistic tendencies i must say.

BUHARI BUHARI
please make a better case for him. you dont seem to be doing a good job
