FYI, no sane igbo person took what you said seriously because we all know you are lying.
Cheap lies, please try another one biko

Am a complete Nwafor Igbo and I tell you she spoke the truth. And for your info I will be voting Buhari and monitor as well. All the magical 99% results will screened thoroughly.

Change is here to stay. GMB 2015.

davies123:
What is the agenda of Buhari for Nigeria?

Here it is - https://www.nairaland.com/2070803/buhari-2015-what-change

Where have Jonathan been in the past over 5yrs? He speaks like this is his first time to contest for the Presidency.

GMB all the way!

Nobody expects PDP agents to like the well articulated Manifesto. But they are all happy with Jonathan's inability to present to Nigerians his plans for seeking re-election.

Nigerians are unitedly voting Buhari for Change. We can no long dwell under the burden of Corruption.

Sai Buhari.

donmalcolm21:
This president really takes the people to heart.

Lies from the pit of Corruption.

#Change 2015. Buhari all the way. We say NO to Deception and Kindergarten Presidency.

Lies. Is he feeling the plight of the Nigeria masses on top of his:
- Billions he take on annual budget for food alone?
- 4 billion naira budget to the illegal "Office Of The First Lady"?
- Stolen $20billion NNPC missing funds?
- His cut from the Immigration job scam.
- Or is it on the 21 billion naira illegal donations?
- His share from the illegal Subsidy payments.
- What of the reported cargo ferries that belong to his wife bunkering crude in the creeks?
- How about the Boko Haram $1,000,000,000 loan (he is yet to tell us what it was used for)

And many others. Jonathan should save himself the trouble, we are not interested in his passionate lies.

Only a very corrupt person will want PDP to continue in 2015 after 16 year of corruption.

Congratulation Barcanista. A well deserved award. GMB all the way!

Can the post make it to Nairaland Frontpage?

Jonathan has no clear agenda for Nigeria. He is just playing Politics.

If you think the postponement is out of love for the suffering masses, then you have been deceived. He is just buying time.

GMB all the way!

Reyginus:
You don't seem to understand, egift. Their is a difference between positive and negative change. Change is not a good thing nor a bad thing.

My concern is on the terms used. People who want to rule and lead us should understand every word they employ. That tells a lot about their level of understanding which I am interested in.

Whatever.

GMB all the way!

Reyginus:
But that is not change, my friend though it is obtainable through change. They are two different things. I was expecting a philosophical exposition on what is change..

The moment you define change as a good thing you fail. It is not. To also define it as a bad thing you fail again because it is not. It is merely a difference in things from a former form.

It is ignorant to assume that change is:

A country that you can be proud of at
anytime and anywhere: where corruption is
punished, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.'

You know why already, by now. He should have used the term positive change is.....It is like GEJ's understanding of corruption as stealing in public offices and hence making that irrational statement.

So, I ask you again, is change inherently good or are you going to go with the idea of positive change?

[/s]

Stop dribbling yourself.

Change here means:
- Different approach to leadership.
- New ways of doing things
- Improved and Good Governance
- Accelerated Development
- People-Oriented Leadership
- Accountability and transparency.
- Uniting Nigerians for National Development.
- etc

You can argue till tomorrow. But it does not take away the fact that Buhari will not repeat the mistakes of Jonathan.

Reyginus:
If he is change, is change inherently good?

Below are the Change - Is it good?

egift:
In Buhari's New Year message, he outlined some of the hightlights of what #Change means in this 2015 election.
Change means:
1. A country that you can be proud of at anytime and anywhere: where corruption is punished, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.
2. A Nigeria in which neither yourselves, nor your parents, families or friends will have to fear for your safety, or for theirs.
3. A Nigeria where citizens get the basics that any country should provide: infrastructure that works, healthcare that is affordable, even free; respect for the environment and sustainable development, education that is competitive and outcome-oriented in a knowledge-economy.
4. A country that provides jobs for its young people, reducing unemployment to the lowest of single digits and providing safety nets so that no one is left behind.
5. A Nigeria where entrepreneurship thrives, enterprise flourishes and the government gets out of your way so that you can create value, build the economy and aggressively expand wealth.
Are these things truly possible? Of course. That is the essence and outcome of leadership, and that is what my party and I promise you as we get into 2015.
I see a New Nigeria under a Great Leadership.

Reyginus:
Let me ask you, op. Is change inherently a good thing because it is change?

He clearly stated what that "Change" is. What you should be considering is "are the objectives (Change) Buhari is proposing a good thing?".

Please read it again and let us know.

nofij:
Aunty you didnt answer my question. Well, just so you know i would not vote for anyone. They are the same cro.oks with sugar-coated tongues.

Let me do (on your question about Atiku):
1. Only Nigerians can change Nigeria.
2. Today you support Jonathan, tomorrow if you start supporting Buhari - nobody will stop you.
3. Finally, as Buhari stated in a recent interview, anyone supporting him is doing so because they want a better Nigeria not to cover any crime they may have committed.

See below for Buhari's exact comment.

wt: Corruption is a hot-button topic in Nigeria and some of your backers may have related issues. Wouldn’t your hands be tied when trying to deal with corruption?

buhari: I try as much as possible not to make myself a hostage. So whoever helped me, as you suggest, to become the party’s flag-bearer, I want to assume he or she did it because they want to give the party the opportunity to win next year’s election, not because they want to hide whatever they may have committed against their country.

networkrecharg:
MY ONLY WORRY ON BUHARI IS HIS RELIGION.
IF NOT I HATE CURRUPTION DE SAME WAY GEJ HATE ANTI CURRUPTION.

AM STILL TINKING OF WHOM TO VOTE FOR.
BUT I AM CERTAIN DAT ALL OTHER POSTS APC IS MY CHOICE Y....
because I LOVE SHARING AND EVEN SHARING BRINGS PEACE.

WE ARE ALL NIGERIANS.
LET EVERYTHING ROTATE.... POWER .. MONEY.. INTERESTS..
EVERY EVERY.
PDP HAS EATEN FOR 16YRS.... LET APC EAT TOO

@Bold:
There is nothing wrong with Buhari when it comes to Religion. Buhari is a Muslim and his VP is a Christian. Please don't give in to the cheep lies peddled by criminals who are doing all they can to hold on to the channels they are using to loot Nigeria.

Buhari has never clapped-down on Christianity and will never. This is democracy and Our diversity in Nigeria is what makes us great.

I really hope you make your decision with open mind. God bless Nigeria.

Sealeddeal:
who cares about free and fair election in presidential poll? GEJ will win by any means possible. Free and fair election only matters in Governorship,senatorial and HOR election.

This sums up the ideology that characterize most Jonathan's supporters.

That is why I keep wondering why law-abiding, patriotic Nigerians who just want an efficient and effective leadership will join Jonathan in defending this unpatriotic insults on the sensibilities of Nigerians. If Jonathan is re-elected, he will not owe any allegiance to the Nigerians masses, he will believe that his cabals and their rigging mercenaries did it for him - they will always come first in his decisions and policies.

nofij:
We should not expect a free and fair election as Jonathan can win only through rigging. It is deceit to think Buhari can beat an incumbent.
No, not in Nigeria.

There is always the first time and this 2015 is one. Nigerians are united. Buhari has 14 State Government unlike 2 or so in 2011. More Senator, Reps, former PDP leaders, more Nigerians, better funding, larger political structures across Nigeria, etc.

Even OBJ that burnt huge political capitals, made sacrifices, begged and muscled his way to get everyone in PDP to back Jonathan in 2011 is now indifferent to Jonathan's re-election and receptive to Buhari's Victory. OBJ like many other former PDP leaders have been discredited, insulted, debased and called unprintable names for trying to admonish a recalcitrant President Jonathan.

This 2015, Change is here for better leadership. We all unite.

berem:
3hours ago,I had a heated argument with some Igbos at a The Young Shall Grow park near my house when I went to escort my mum who was travelling to the east today. It was all about Buhari's presidential candidacy.
No be small thing o! At least I was able to convince few of them why they should vote for Buhari. The others say they will not vote for anyone instead let the county divide.
What is seen on nairaland by some Igbos opposed to Buhari is clearly what is happen in reality.
They were impressed with me as a female who loves politics with passion. Hehehehe!!

Many are supporting Jonathan with the only hope he mismanage things so badly that Nigeria will Divide.

I have had your experience severally. At first they will all be making noise but once you dispel their phantom claims and table the legacies and character of Buhari in light of the current challenges, they will become sober and start saying "all politicians are the same", "all politicians have failed", etc.

I said this earlier about TAN and Jonathan:
1. Nigerians will use TAN and their mushroom groups to extract any part of the loots Jonathan has refused to return.
2. Come February, Nigerians will unite and vote out the failures of Jonathan.
3. Then immediately, Lawyers will swing in to use legal fees to have their own pound of flesh in their bid to keep Jonathan out of Jail.
4. During all the investigation on all the proxies, fronts and agents Jonathan and his team used in siphoning our fortunes, Buhari's administration will recover some if not all of what has been stolen.
5. Being not too wealthy, Jonathan will discover his true friends.

One thing is certain, an average Nigerian do not give someone that was formerly rich. Only a very corrupt person will not want Jonathan to be voted out.

Because a woman needs a child does not mean she will accept a cripple for a child.

Have you seen the heartlessness and wickedness you possess? So if your wife give birth to a child that is physically challenged, you will kill the child?

No wonder you adapt very well in defending atrocities. May God deliver you this year.

#Change.

jamace:
The Military board is located in Abuja yet Buhari prefers to go to Abuja high court to swear to an affidavit instead of going to the board to collect his credentials. Does Buhari thinks Nigerians are dunce like him?

Chasing shadows is the only way PDP is keeping their camp hibernated and hypnotized. The trick is taking a toll on you.

Unless you have issue based policies to discussed, please don't mention me again, this is 2015. As Nigerians the Change we seek has no room for frivolities and insults.

Happy new year.

temitemi1:
GEJ till 2019!!!

Even when your are looking at such fraudulent act in the Presidency, you are still typing this.

Only the very corrupt and their agents support the continuation of this corrupt administration.

#Change 2015.

Lie-Lie Maku how does it feel to recieve the same PDP treatments you face been feeding Nigerians. Now swallow it in shame.

This is an opportunity for greatness. Let us join hands and #Change for the better.

When I transferred to a new school in Primary 5, I had crush on one of my classmate. Always thinking/dreaming of her. Each time a question is asked, we will always compete who will answer it. And no matter what I answered, she will always fault it and I too never allowed any of her response to stand. Sometimes the whole class will just be there looking at us.

She just hated me. But decades later, she is still among the few persons I have truly loved in my lifetime. #Wired.

Dear Nigerian Elites,
As I welcome you all to the year of 2015, may I seek your indulgence to deliver this short letter to you.

Over the decades since Independence, our nation, Nigeria has struggled to find its place in history. This quest is one that have led us through the thick and thins of challenges. All that historians have told us in written and oral history points to exactly on one direction - Leadership Challenge.

The inability for us to consistently have effective leadership at the helms of affairs in Nigeria have been one single obstacle that has hindered progress, development and growth to our nation. Our fellow citizens are suffering - portable running clean water, uninterrupted electricity, smooth motor-able roads, adequate shelter, security, quality education, proper feeding, etc are still luxury in our country and beyond the reach of many.

In the past especially, the last 16 years of Democratic rule in Nigeria, we are all living witnesses to the pains, joy and sufferings we have had to endure as citizens. While there have been many government efforts and programmes, the majority of our people are still suffering in abject poverty, despite the enormous natural and human resources God has blessed us with.

As the 2015 elections approaches, again we have the opportunity to elect the right leadership. We cannot in all honesty ignore the sway, influence and role of the Elites in Nigeria. By elites, I make reference to those currently in various leadership positions, religious, groups and community leaders, retired public office holders, Leaders of Thought, Nigerians in Diaspora, Nigerian Politicians, Parents, Experts of various Professions, the Nigerian Business Community, Private Sector Practitioners, etc.

In the past, our problems have been compounded by certain privileged Nigerian elites colluding to deprive Nigerian masses the opportunity of choosing who will lead them. Thereby leaving us with Leaders who are Hostages to few powerful cabals who they perpetually owe allegiance - to the detriment of the Nigerian masses.

I therefore call on the Nigerian elites to support the masses in voting for #Change this 2015. At the current administration's pace of development, we will not achieve any significant development because of the enormity of the Challenges currently facing Nigeria. Corruption must be halted for accelerated development in the nation and accountability for those in positions of authority.

Please put away greedy and personal interests and do this for the interest of Nigeria. And to atone for the years we have been deprived good governance. If Nigeria is good, it will positively affect everyone of us. We look forward to developed, new, proud and great Nigeria ahead for a Change.

Once again thank you for your time, support and patriotism to Nigeria. Welcome to a prosperous 2015. God bless you. God bless Nigeria.

Regards,
EGIFT of Nairaland

Glad that humor and lightheartedness is returning to Nigeria in view of the Change ahead. Jonathan's regime has been littered with horror and sorrows.

Vote Buhar 2015. I see a New Nigeria ahead.

In Buhari's New Year message, he outlined some of the hightlights of what #Change means in this 2015 election.

Change means:

1. A country that you can be proud of at anytime and anywhere: where corruption is punished, where your leaders are disciplined and lead with vision and clarity; where the stories that emerge to the world from us are full of hope and progress.

Are these things truly possible? Of course. That is the essence and outcome of leadership, and that is what my party and I promise you as we get into 2015.

Jonathan will not even know how he got defeated. The story of Jonathan Fall will be told many more years to come. Abati, Okupe and FFK will make fortune writing inside story of How Jonathan Fell.

Vote Buhari 2015 - God Bless Nigeria.
