lolzzz
Point of order sir...
OBJ & Peter Obi are notin the same camp in PDP... OBJ is in APC at heart...
PDP worked for Obi in 2010 and also worked for Obiano in 2013...

Riging OBIANO to power... U r funny sha... Obiano wasnot riged into powerin Anambra state. Ndi Anambra voted for him because we are now wiser.

His campaign promises are 4Cs... Which are as follows:
1: Continue (Project left by Obi)
2: Complete (Project left by Obi)
3: Commission the projects &
4: Commence new projects...

Ndi Anambra couldnt take the risk of voting in someone who will come and stop ongoing projects because there is no community out ofthe 177communities in the state without one or two projects going on...

Non of the above make any sense , I don't know where to start. Sorry

9inches:
A lot of people like me vote because of the candidate and not the party. If GEJ cross-carpets to APC today, many people like me will still vote him. Obi was somebody before GEJ became president and he never depended on GEJ for anything personal. Rather, it is GEJ that needs him judging by his personality and achievements in Anambra state. Obi is a great asset to the presidency having held a position in the economic team even while still serving as a governor.. What does that tell you about his quality? Obi had to be begged by Okonjo, GEJ, Wike and co to come and contribute at the centre.

Who did you voted for in 2003?

judondasylva:
you are the one that lack the knowledge of history bcus peter obi is right buhari is old and not only that but he has nothing good to offer nigeria than sharia law and killing.those that want him to rule this country are the enemies of this nation and my God almighty will fight them. GEJ is a good president just that ur so called GMB incited his trained fundamentalist to start distabilize GEJ rule with boko haram

Why didn't baby Obi run the presidency himself with APGA rather than joining the gravy train?
And God doesn't belong to you and neither can you speak for God.
We knew how your God dealt with Absalom when he felt that David was too old and should make way for him.
Queen Elizabeth is still on the throne when her son and grandchildren could have pushed her off the throne. And how old is the governor of Ebonyi? No one has kicked him into the lunatic asylum.

If GEJ is a good leader according, who is his opponent s age your main concern, rather than focusing on what makes him leader.
There are nine other young presidential Candidates. It's not a two horse race.

9inches:
It wasn't about PDP, APC or whatever party, they don't matter to him. Peter Obi has said he will do whatever it takes to make sure GEJ wins. For a fact, you can hardly hear him discussing PDP, but he will always tell who cares to listen that Goodluck has the ability to lead our nation to where it should be; and the best way he could ensure that is joining GEJ's party, simple.

Not the same vote GEJ not PDP again?
Candidates are products of the party that produces them as long as, there no option of independent candidate.
Tell me how many local government GEJ can win without PDP? Then you can come with your theory?
Let see what Obi will say if GEJ is not in power or Obi himself was to be denied access to Aso Rocks. Obi is like a hooker who claims to love her client.

9inches:
This is service to a nation we are talking about, right.. You are telling me people should die in it? My dear when you are 70 you are assumed to be fragile at least in our own clime. The leadership position in this context requires much of both mental and physical strength.

Do you practice your theory of locking up old folks in your own family or your town?
Instead of focusing on the issue that affect people, but no, if it's not about being a jihadist, it's baboons and blood or the colour of someone's pubic hair.

And how old was Ronald Reagan during his second term or that doesn't count? Mr professor of selective memory history.
I do feel sorry for kids that listen or even follow these wicked rogues. They think every single person is an idiot to believe their tripe.

[quote author=Chigold101 post=29392919]Peter Obi is that man whom OBJ could not handle.
Peter Obi is that man that first changed Nigeria‘s electoral calender.
Peter Obi is that man who OBJ shortchanged by puting Ngige tofavour the Ubas but Obi stood his ground until he recovered the mandategiven to himby Ndi Anambra. OBJ used PDP controlled Anambra house of Assembly to impeach him, he went back to court and reclaimed the mandate the second time.
Peter Obi is the only governor ever in Nigeria‘s history who governed a state for 8years without collecting anyloan. He never issued a state bond. He is the only Governor whom when he was about leaving office told everybody in his state, the banks & account numbers of anambra state acounts foreveryone to valify the claim of leaving billions of naira for his successor.
Peter Obi is that man that man who after governing a state for 8years with many battles against OBJ‘s boys for the first 4years left Anambra state a wealthy state... Thank GOD for Obiano who is really building on the foundations of this great man (whom i never liked) PETER OBI...
3 times OBJ removed him, 3 times he went to court and he won those 3times...
Modified... To Mr Obi...
Mr Peter Obi, Okwute Ndi Igbo... Happy new year

And now he is in bed with the same OBJ and the Ubah clan/PDP that denied him his mandate, impeached and humiliated him?
The same PDP that chased justice Salami under his leadership, the Court of Appeal reinstated him whenever PDP kicks him out.
The one that rigged Obiano into power and months later abandoned him, even before he could collect the keys
.

Buhari manifesto or APC manifesto? Junk journalism.

sufido123:
It is Buhari that scares the hell out of others with his calls for sharia. Tinubu has not helped matters by making sure that even in the liberal Yoruba enclave, the Muslim hold sway and are mostly in charge of Yorubaland.

Do not blame the messenger blame the message. That Apc flirted with Muslim/Muslim ticket did not even help matters.

Flirted? Or that you wished that they produce a muslim ticket, then you have something to talk about?
How disappointed you must have felt when that didn't come to reality and now you call it a flirt. Who in their right mind will do that in a religious mad society like Nigeria?
Why didn't Jonathan flirt with a northern Christian?

janus05:
Why is GMB always choosing a pastor as his running mate?

You mean pastors like Dr Chuba Okadigbo and Chief Edwin Ume-ezuoke?

janus05:
Why is GMB always choosing a pastor as his running mate? Is it by sheer coincidence or a well thought out strategy? Is he too fanatical that he is always looking for a pastor to "tone" his candidacy? Someone please help me with some answers. Why? Why?

When his opponents kept labelling him as a jihadist, fundermentalist since 2011 elections, he has no choice to choose an ultra sounding Christian. Who is better in that definition than evangelical pastor.That is no brainer.
That wasn't the case against OBJ or Yar Asia because both never made Buhari' s religion an issue as Jonathan has made it.Then Chuba Okadigbo and Edwin Umezuoke were not pastors.
It only that most of you knew the truth but love the lies or half truth or pretend that you don't know.

Am sure if not for the Nigeria politics of religion, he probably would have chosen or preferred Fashola instead of Osibanjo
It is like asking why Jonathan has to choose a muslim as his VP? It obvious

OLADD:
He has been able to block age long fertilizer scams and also expunged thousands of ghost workers from the civil service. What anti-corruption is more effective than that? Let's be fair to the man. GEJ TILL 2019.

You guys can compare corruption as you like or dress it however it suit you, but the fact remains that Jonathan don't believe that stealing is somehow is not corruption. That was his own words and not a quote.
He can block few pennies from fertilizer as he like but voting billions of public money towards his personal feeding? That's called legalized corruption and abuse of position.

if he doesn’t believe there is corruption, you can’t hold him for not driving any anti-corruption war. If somebody doesn’t believe there is a problem then he would not be obliged to look for solution.”

That captured the current scenario superbly. Judicial judges issuing questionable injunctions like fake wedding confetti.
Till they create judicial tribunals specifically for ethics and financial crime, plus an FBI style agency with investment in forensic and cyber detective to fastrack trials, they are wasting their time.

You need to see people jailed for 50 years with mandatory 20 years serve until then, nothing will happen.
Just Imagine Alamesiegha running for a public office to make law for mortals and you claimed to be fighting corruption? That's a joke.

This is old news

omolami:
Inec to me seem to be shielding buhari for not submiting his credentials.How can idowu say he is not aware of any issue on buhari's refusal to submit credentials with all these noice.The affidafid should have been on specific credentials and not just "my credentials".This is enough for inec to return d affidafid to Apc for verification.I equally expect other party to go to court immediately to challenge the authenticity of buhari's affidafid.The Military secretary should equally respond to buhari's claim, except they are part of d cover up

Probably there is nothing to challenge. You think PDP
people are foold to have seen such gaping opportunities and refused to take it? I doubt that, when their own Sambo claimed that his certificate was destroyed by fire and used the same affidavit with reference to his old school.
Unless the law required that you produce the physical and original certification, then that is a different issue.
It seems both Sambo and Buhari does not have their physical certificates and both had sworn an affidavit referring INEC to two institutions where there qualifications can traced based on the current electoral law.
If don't like it, lobby your law makers to repeal that clause or amend it.

Collynzo9:
Respect your old age and refrain from insults because next time you will get it in full measure.
Since you know better than the journalists who went to INEC office to see things for themselves, can you tell us categorically that Buhari's certificate has been submitted?
The INEC official while refusing to mention names, clearly stated that it is the duty of the party to validate whatever documents their candidate presents.
Saying that it isn't INEC role to disqualify candidate and that no one has officially challenged them doesn't mean that there are no issues.

Intelligent person sticks to what he read and not what wished you could have read or what you hope to read.
The journalist asked INEC question about rumours circulating about Buhari certificate and INEC responded by saying that there was no issues arising and if there is, that is the problem of APC or any interested party because their job is not to disqualify candidates.
Their response is probably based on the precedent set by the supreme court judgement over AtAtiku in 2007.
After reading all these, you kept going about INEC disqualifying someone. That's called being thick. I doesn't matter who you support, that should not blackened your sense of reasoning. I don't you what your age got to do with it.

nationwide1:
What's your point?

My point is what your understanding of the word ",progressive" means?

clemzo101:
I was watching Emmanuel TV one sunday afternoon few months back and the man of God prophet TB Joshua said "a major leader of the opposition party will fall ill and die and dere will be crisis in the party afterwards" me I'm still waiting for dis prophesy oooo because I watched it LIVE!!! All I can see here is the opposition getting stronger and stronger.

Next time try watching MTV base. It will be more beneficial to you.

Frankiss44:
Same benevolent dictator that didn't see Abacha's looting and corruption? The biggest thief in Nigeria was a saint to your Sai Buhari. Be careful what you wish for son.

And who is now at the height of romancing that same Abacha clan?

whirlwind7:
Just wondering about the permutations that changed, to warrant this much media hype going on between supporters of GEJ and GMB. I mean, it wasn't as intense and as drawn out as it is now compared with how it went down in 2011 when both men were still the major contenders.


.

It's because 2015 race is much more of equal fight than the previous races. It is no longer against Buhari as a loner ranger, but a Buhari, backed by almost many governors, legislators, senators, bigger and better APC party structures nationwide.

Such scenario has not happened before and PDP is rattled by that new threat.
Hence, they are throwing even their kitchen sink at Buhari, hoping that it broke his head in the process.

Collynzo9:
Expect plenty lawsuits soonest.
I don't think APC verified anything, they would have at least returned with a photocopy.
There is something seriously fishy about the whole story, it isn't normal.

The fact that he managed to get away with illegality thrice doesn't mean that he should be allowed the fourth time.

What fact have you that he got away with anything or you just wished and hoped he was disqualified, which aren't going to happen.
As a general in the Nigeria army. We knew which courses they attended to reach their positions which are worldly accepted to be equal to bachelor degrees.
Why on earth are some of you suddenly want to see Buhari certificates, which I knew, if there was even a sniff chance of discrepancy, Maurice Iwu of all persons would have seen it as a buttered bread and latched on it.
What has happened to many of you? Where are your brains?
You don't know that PDP is behind all these distractions because for the first time, they are facing a formidable opposition that can match them toe to toe and they don't look confident as before.

I still believe that Jonathan can still win this election but PDP never believed in free and fair because they are addicted to manipulating the process using their power of incumbency.

yibomustgo:
Yeebos are disparaging Islam because they hope this problems they are causing everywhere will eventually lead to war in Nigeria and eventually pave way for their BIAFRA.

Igbos like Femi Fani Kayode, Reuben Abati, Doyin Okupe or Ayodele Fayose?

temitemi1:
All these ur nonsense won't stop his coming back as d president of this Nation... GEJ till 2019!!!

Here we go. Probably didn't even bother reading the article.

I have warned our people that character assassination of Buhari, Muslims and northerners is not smart and a complete disservice to Jonathan who planted this seed with aid of his public paid Josef Geobbels.

kendrick9:
buhari is a terrorist. everyone knows that

Everyone except me.
He is not a vampire but just an opponent of the candidate you support. That's it.
Many of you have allowed politicians to manipulate you to the extent that many cannot think straight again.
PDP and Jonathan said that they have been the best thing to have happened to Nigeria but instead of spending time glorifying those achievements, they spent time on character assassinating their opponent who they supposed to have been defeated three times in the past.
Northern people don't talk too much like we do but am sure that they are watching what you guys are doing.
I just pray that it does not backfire on Jonathan unless he planned for another 98% turn out.

nationwide1:
APC go hear? This is when we will know if they're truly progressive, if they have integrity they sing.

What does progressive mean?

Collynzo9:
Then APC should act like the progressives they claim to be and get Buhari's certificate from wherever they are or simply disqualify him for not meeting the requirements.
The constitution is seriously flawed

Are you thick or what?
You heard INEC telling you that the issue of Buhari certification is news to them because there was no issues in the first place and nothing to talk about although they would not discuss specifics even If such scenario existed.
You don't need to be a genius to know that PDP created this story because they seemed to be running out of ideas on character assassination of their opponent and their new ideas was to create a distraction with this
They said their opposition merger won't last after six months. It did last.
They said after primaries, APC would collapse. It didn't, rather better organized and peaceful than PDP.
They prayed for Amaechi vice presidency in order to say we told you he is driven by ambition.

They prayed for a joint muslim tickets so that religion will become the issue. They got, not only Christendom but a funky pastor.

They complained that taking time to make decisions for vp position is a signal that something was wrong. A silly joke.
Non of the above happened, now they pray for the opponents disqualification by planting fake stories.

amnestylaw1:
Me see humility in the person of Prof Yemi Osibanjo. He looks simple and does not dress flamboyantly like a professor of Law or a VP to be, he mingles with common man on the streets, talks to them in person instead of printing posters and sending out paid campaigners to the streets... If Nigeria is ready for business, I think this man has got a listening ear and a people-person personality that we need in a leader...

It's not humility. He is only doing it as his job search.
This is his job interview. During job interviews, you are bound to say or do whatever that can help you get the job within the boundaries of the law.
What happens after you get the job is entirely a different matter.
Look at Jonathan and his I had no shoes in 2011 and what was his first four acts in power?
1. Bought himself three brand new jets to add to the existing eight.
2. Try to change the presidential term of office in the constitution that will be benefiting him, because of the promise he made not to run in 2015 to the northerners in PDP.
3. Budgeted billions annually for his personal feeding.
4. Put up the cost of refined petroleum products.

So I don't see why Osibanjo, another teacher like Jonathan will be different.

OLADD:
But Buhari threw that Constitution into the dustbin during his draconic but north-friendly rule. What happened to your brain? If GEJ decides to ban Nairaland today, the person that would stop him has not been born. The president is just been civil to the core.

I don't think he has the faintest power to control ban Nairaland even if he is dying to. His agents can block it in Nigeria but 100 others will start by the next day.
How old or thick is some of you?
Military rules by decrees, you cannot rule with another system's law book. So it is common sense that one has to be thrown into the garbage.

Good journalism. Accepting and admitting an error is a mark of professionalism and honest good ethics to have.
I knew that the story was too good to be true for a Nigeria politician to sacrifice anything out of principle or on ideological stance. No chance.

Dereformer:
But they (BH) once asked GEJ to resign as a condition for peace.

Since when does the likes of Boko Haram wants peace? Boko Haram is in business because of lack of peace. If you bring in peace, they are out of business.

Boko Haram has been around before Jonathan became even a vice president. Until their leader was killed by the police coupled with Jonathan's lack of will to act because of his love of power and toppling of Ghadafi which helped them acquired sophisticated arms from Libya, Boko Haram was restricted to minimal violence around Borno alone.

In the 80 we had the Maitasine too that invaded Gongola slaughtering people and government then met and replied them with full force and crushed it within a month.

NPComplete:
I think the non aligned diplomacy is why we abstained and decided not to take sides

That ended with the cold war because they don't want to upset the Americans or antagonize the Soviet union that backed them to the heels against Biafra.
It was the non alignment nonsense that prolonged apartheid.
