Clark has always been a thug, a divisive figure, who only look after number one, himself.
Jonathan should have distance himself from him long ago. I wonder how many votes he mudt have already cost him?
Every day it seems that most Nigerians are still in those warped junta mentality view of opposition as enemy.
Opposition is not meant to agree with the government 99% of the time. Unless you want one party state.

GenBuhari:
Sir you need to stop consuming the news and propaganda that is fed to you by the white man.

Who is feeding you, I may join you.
White man didn't need to feed you to realize that since Mugabe came to power, Nigeria has had 8 different leaders and maybe a 9th next February.

Toaskarity:
You now confusing urself..it is not a crime, what's the difference killing the likes of tinubu to ppl killed everyday in Borno?
From the depth of your mind, would you suggest anyone you know to go to northeast nigeria now? Do you know how many nigerians are in every part of Zimbabwe? Don't confuse urself again, answer the above questions and ur problem will be solved.

Go and reread what I wrote. I said you cannot compare Jonathan incompetent as a leader and Mugabe deliberate murderous rulership in Zimbabwean.
Yes, Go and ask any legal professional or an employer of labour, they will tell you exactly that incompetence is not a crime, its shortcomings that be bridged with a sack.
In Nigeria, opposition is fairly vibrant, in Mugabes world, the word opposition can land you 6 ft under.
Anyone that idolized Mugabe has no business turning around to criticize Jonathan on any issue. If Mugabe is a hero, then Jonathan is Jesus Christ.

waternogetemeny:
Eskimo u are then... hahahah!

It an euphemism, not literal. Gosh!

Toaskarity:
Wh don't yall worry about your bokoharam problem, it is way worse.. worse than the worsest if there is a word like that.. i can't remember last time thousand s of ppl die because of mugabe.

There is no country in Africa nigerians should be complaining about cos nigeria have it worse.

Jonathan inability to contain Boko Haram is due to his incompetence as leader, that is not a crime and at least you have the chance to vote him out.
Mugabe had murdered thousands of Zimbabweans outside his ethnic group, prominent opposition voices had disappeared without trace. He changed the constitution more than he changed his underpants.
Under Mugabe, the likes of Tinubu or Buhari will be dead or in jail by now.

waternogetemeny:
Oh, before i forget to answer your question, the answer is, I am an igbo freak, igbo enthusiast, igbo supremist.

I see igbo in everything, don't waste ur time on me i am a lost case.

If you are Igbo , I am an Eskimo.

GenBuhari:
Mugabe has best interest of his country at heart. That is why I support him.
When Jonathan can demonstrate the same patriotism I would support him also

Tell that to the marine. Having turned a once world food basket into a food begging nation, eliminating every varied opinion, including those that was in the bush fighting Ian Smith, disappearance or unexplained death of opposition leaders, trying to impose your illiterate wife as a leader over a tired nation, that is your idea of interest of the nation.
Comparing Jonathan to Mugabe is not only wicked but lack of class and reality.

waternogetemeny:
hahahaha! Correct man... Some of my igbo brothers are so gullible that it is beyond believe. They can believe any lie.

Still in America whites police officer kill blacks and no justice as ever. Do u hear that grand fada sinner OP start a thread about that? hahaha!

Some are quick to free themselves from bondage others love to be victimised and oppressed.


It is just a question of orientation.

Tell me what this zimbabean story got to do with Igbos. It's not a crime if you do not contribute to every thread, you know.

GenBuhari:
Mugabe is my hero and if he endorses her then I am happy to accept her.

And this is coming from a president Jonathan harshest critic? Imagine if Jonathan is about to foster Patience his wife to succeed him and what you in particular would be writing about him. It shows that all your criticism of Jonathan is purely based on personal hate rather than issues.

No matter how illogical and moronic Nigeria political scene gets, you cannot imagine what is currently playing out in Zimbabwe at the moment ever happening in Nigeria, where power is being sexually transmitted between Robert Mugabe and his wife Grace.
First, she made academic history by obtaining a doctorate within three months.
Positioned herself as the ZANU PF. women wing leader by asking the incumbent to resign. Took a tour of the country advertising her self.

Orchestrated a campaign of clumsy against the current vice president Joice Mujuru, who she saw now as a rival.
Calling the mother of 5 and ex independent freedom fighter a prostitute, making jokes of her dress sense in public.
When that seems not working, she is now accused her of planning to overthrow Mugabe, using it to deny her being re-elected in the party congress this week and could be arrested any moment from now for treason along with anyone that is in opposition with bedroom transition with their ZANU PF.

The usual nonentity African first lady whose only made her way to power because she sleeps with president.
Something she started when Mugabes legitimate wife was still alive. This week, she is poised to succeed Mr Mugabe through a sexual transmission of power.
Yes it's happening in a banana republic called Zimbabwe.

Djicemob:
Sometimes i want to weep for nigeria and its youths.Am even more suprised people keep rating GMB higher than kwankwaso,so of all the over 150m people in nigeria,the best person to rule is a frail 74year old man who has ruled nigeria in the past by ousting a democratically elected government to come and rule us again in the same democracy? SMH.

If you have problem with an ex soldier in a democracy of Nigeria, you should equally have the problem with David Mark, who was at the heart of all the coups in the 80s and 90s but today your senate president.
If Reagan ruled the United States for two terms when he was much older than Buhari, I don't see why not for Nigeria that is not difficult to run.
Another U.S president Dwight Eisenhower was an ex general in the U.S army and happens to be a great president. Winston Churchill, regarded as one the best British prime ministers was equally an ex soldier.

I am not recommending, asking you to vote for Buhari or telling you that he is the best candidate, but your above sentiment makes no sense and has no root with facts.
And their was no truth in this expired propaganda that Buhari overthrew an elected government. No he didn't. Go and ask likes of Babangida, David Mark, Abubakar Umar, Tank Ayuba, Lawrence Onoja, Ike Nwachukwu, Dogonyaro etc, they will educate you on how they overthrew that government as the likes of Abacha are dead.

Curlieweed:
I don't understand where the "eggs in one basket" came from. There are 5 SE states. One APC, one APGA and 3 PDP. How is that all your eggs in one basket. The SE even has an apeeshit Presidential candidate. I don't understand why people regurgitate non-factual statements and propagate them without doing a simple sense check.

APC is only a few months old, hasn't won even a wooden spoon in Igboland. APGA are now inconsequential after the demice of Ikemba, they are now a co-joined twin to the PDP. I will believe you when they field their own presidential candidate.

Some time ago, we were hearing that the Igbo were marginalized because they were not "united", now some retards are saying they are exhibiting "herd mentality". How does "lack of unity" and "herd mentality" compliment each other? This is just an example of contradictory, "anything goes criticism". Some simple minded slowpoke comes up with these daft statements and the unsuspecting repeat them until they assume a life of their own.

Anyone telling you that were not united are those fantasy Nigerians. Igbo as a nation are united. I fought for that notion here on Nairaland for many years and I am glad that stereotype has died down. Unity doesn't mean acting like robot. I am with you on that one, except that marginalization of Igbo politicians is different from that of ordinary Igbo folk. Them being marginalized is simply their personal political appointments.

For the record, Buhari is a fundamentally flawed candidate. If you forget about the propaganda and look at his actual record, there is no way he should even get 1% of the votes in the entire country. Just take a look at the way he has been tying himself into knots trying to explain the source of funding for his quixotic presidential wild goose chase. "It was a bank loan". "No, it's crowd funding". I just hate hypocrites. Yet, everyone knows that huge sums of money simply grew wings and vanished every time he was trusted with a position. And the imbec.ile keeps bleating "kwarauption, kwarauption".

I am ready to look at your fact about Buhari that I don't know. If you have them present them. Unless the word "FLAWED" has changed, if not what are those flawed except the one politicians made up and many of you jumped on the band wagon. If you think that hsi claim for a bank loan is not true, present alternative to contradict him.
I hate hypocrites too but you can't call someone hypocrite just being blant about it. I don't give two fingers either about Buhari or Jonathan as an Igbo man. What I hated, is some politically naive Igbo people for sake of their personal greed or lack of knowledge start tying Jonathan destiny with that of Igbo nation. Vote for Jonathan if he is a good leader by your estimation, by all means but iGBOS do not owe Jonathan anything. His presidency is his personal ambition, got nothing to do with our present or our future. Period.

FreeGlobe:
@Eziachi All notable igbo sons will ensure Buhari doesn't win, atleast in the south.

What do you mean by notable? Just because they are fed by taxpayers doesn't make them notable. What makes you think that they are more important than me and you in Igboland?
99.9% of them never fought for our interest, whether in war or in peace time. You think that APC will give you their ticket in a platter just like that, when some of you takes turn to call the likes of Rochas, Amaechi or Ngige all sorts?
It doesn't work like. You cannot reap where you never sowed.

FreeGlobe:
@Eziachi there is no way Buhari will lead a united Nigeria. You need to know this, considering your age. Even if we lost the war, a serious candidate who want to be president should not be talking about it. That's courtesy and respect to the over 3 million killed souls.
Its not even about Jonathan, perhaps if APC could field a candidate with general acceptabily across zones then you could have a point. All notable igbo sons will ensure Buhari doesn't win, atleast in the south.

What has my age got to do with this discussion? My problem is why some of you are busy taking medication for another persons illness?
If Jonathan is a fellow Igbo like me and you, I will understand where some of you are coming from, purely because of Nigeria brand of politics. But honestly I don't get it.
Look at the Yoruba and what happened in Ekiti recently, that will tell you that they put their eggs both in PDP and APC, just in case. Never mind what some writes on Nairaland, not all of them sleep with APC.
Look at the north, the same scenario, take a look at our neighbours and reflect on the recent APC rally in Akwa Ibom, the same scenario too.
Why do some of you took it upon yourselves to turn an Ijaw man's presidency and personal ambitions and aspirations into an Igbo problem?
It doesn't make any sense.
This is not even about Buhari, because Jonathan can still win but what happens after his presidency, if you now mortgage your future around his?
I want you to coherently explain it to me. Maybe you knew something I don't.
Sorry to burst your bubble but winners never stop reminding the other side. The British takes every opportunity to remind the Germans, that they won the war even though Germany is better than them now economically. Do I like that? No! But that is fact of life.

zlatansomto:
You're a bloody fool •

I know that I am, but thanks for reminding me. I needed a reminding from genius like you from time to time.

FreeGlobe:
Buhari keeps telling igbos Nigeria won the civil war despite being aware of the general resolution of the war as "no victor, no vanguished." Buhari keeps insulting the sensibilities of igbos. Buhari is strange to igbo. He will keep contesting till he clocks 100. insha Allah!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry with some of you some times.
So because of what was declared after the war by the word of mouth in theory, which meant nothing in reality, in your opinion, we Biafrans did not lose the war?
Well I got reality news for you. We lost the war alright, though with dignity, honour and respect and with 3 million of our lives as evidence.

All this rubbish some of you have beclouded your heads with, what happened if this guy is to win or rig out Jonathan next year?
And then what?
Why put all your eggs inside one basket when others are separating theirs, just in case?
There are Ijaws like Jonathan in APC, including folks like Tam David West and Gov Silva.
When will most of you learn how to play the politics of Nigeria, which history has thought you countless of times?
In 2014 many of you are still politically naive, acting with your hearts, rather than reasoning with your heads. Jonathan is not even an Igbo man for goodness sake.
What the heck?!!!!
In reality, does Buhari really need Igbo vote to win? Emphatic NO!!

asodeboyede:
UNBELIEVABLY BELIEVABLE!

Unbelievably: because it's quite strange!
Believable : because I think the man actually said it!

We must realise that when God promises us blessings in return for our tithes, such blessings transcends all what our seemingly limited human brain can absorb! It is beyond monetary growth! Until we come to the glare and fundamental meaning of God's blessings, we would still continue to hold Him a liar! I think the said man was not taught enough or was only being rude by growing a thick skin to this TRUTH!

When and how did God made this promises? I thought that his son thought that you pray for only your daily bread? How does a daily need equates to all these so called prosperities and riches or was it a question of telling greedy people what they wanted to hear and they fell for it?

ANAMBRA11:
Forget about party lawal was indirectly saying that if buhari dosent win they would make nigeria ungovernable he was refering to buhari because when that statement was made pdp primaries was over and jonathan was chosen to represent pdp

So in your opinion, so all the drum of war beatings by Asari Dokubo was all Jonathan's? So Dokubo was speaking in behalf of Jonathan when he said ' if doesn't win, there will trouble? Trying to think before you hit the keyboard may be very helpful.
What some of you should do is simply say that you hated Buhari because he is a northerner and nothing more.
But trying to paint the guy in order to justify your real excuse is a bit cowardly. This is not me telling you to vote for Buhari, far from it, but just the issue of trying to paint a dog in order to hang him.

viczing:
I will proove him wrong with this link

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/05/call-buhari-to-order-cleric-tells-jonathan/

Now do you have anything to say against it?

So that is your evidence? A hungry Nigeria Cleric urging Jonathan to call Mr Buhari to order over statement credited to him?
Do you understand the meaning of the word CREDITED? Credited information is a second information, not a quotation of fact. The cleric by using the word credited was referring to what he had read to be said, not what he witnessed being said. It's the same as referring to a rumours he heard or read about.
The credit of the ill informed cleric was alluding could equally be the one Ruben Abati started but found himself in a legal hot water and not only retracted but apologized.
Look at the date of your evidence. It was 2012 while the so called statement was pre election (2011). Does that make any sense. It's like forecasting an already played game.
Use your brain please.

viczing:
Now before you start wyning your mouth and reigning abuses read this janjanweed hate knowing the plain truth.........

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/05/call-buhari-to-order-cleric-tells-jonathan/

I don't even think you know what supporter of APC means or did you read or hear others use the words and jumped on the bandwagon?
I do not abuse people even when one abuses me as that is not my style.
I disagreed with your opinion, that is not abuse. Unless you had an issue with English language, that is not my fault. Show me where I abused you and I will apologize for doing so.

Does all these so called Christians actually knows what speaking in tongue means? When someone miraculously start speaking in a language he/she doesn't normally speak or never spoken to the amazement of familiar speakers of the language, that is what speaking in tongue means.
Nothing to do muttering incoherent words or gibberish.
To the first century Jewish Christians few experiences it in order to spread the good news to foreigners like the Ethiopians in Jerusalem. That was purpose of speaking on Pentecost day recorded. And later it became no part of Christianity by God through the order of apostle Paul Christian. Today it's more to do with occultism than Christianity.

viczing:
Op stop the lies please...we all know the truth don't think you can change the fact by mere quoting rubbish source...admit the fact your an apc member and stop claiming neutral...take it or leave it....buhari is a disastrous candidate anyday anytime and also a serial loser that will lose again.... thank you

Who is this we you are referring to?
If you have a counter evidence as opposed to the poster, why don't you produce it and counter it? Instead of making the same tired argument APD/PDP in black/white sort of reasoning.

Back your argument with facts, for example show us a transcript of the day and the event or interview where Buhari made such a stetment. Shows us something to prove that Abati and Guardian did not retract their publication and apologised to Mr Buhari as stated by the poster.
If don't have any of this, then you know exactly what to do.

noblezone:
if clapping for Jonathan makes me "unreasonable", so be it bro!

I have vowed never to be a "progressive" when the likes of a criminal and tyrant called Buhari hold the sway! Imagine Tinubu and Amechi as Progressives!

Even OBJ is now a progressive!

A hand of appluase to Jonathan!

What is a progressive?

Is Abia North a man or a woman?

Olaolufred:
OONI THE KING TURNED CONTRACTOR UNDER IBB AND ABACHA.
HE IS A CASH AND CARRY KING.
REMEMBER ODILI IS FROM IFE.
HISTORY PROVED IT WHEN SIJUADE SAW MONEY.
IBADAN TO ILESA DUAL CARRIAGE WAY WAS HANDLED BY OONI CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING COMPANY.
I BELIEVE DAY WILL SOON BREAK. DECIEVERS WILL WAKE UP TO REALITY.

Wasn't the Ooni of Ife, the apostle of June 12 annulment was an act of God?
Anyway, I thought you guys says that Ndigbo loves money, while the rest of you hated money? Now we know.

PhockPhockMan:
The only reason I respect Tinubu is the way he masterfully brainwashed some Yoruba youths into believing that their problems is Jonathan instead of him. A powerful speakership Jonathan gave yorubas, Tinubu connived and threw it away for selfish reasons.
No matter how long a night last, their must be day break.

So the speakership is now a Christmas present for Jonathan to give? I thought Nigeria is practicing presidential system of government, where Jonathan has nothing to do with the legislative side of the structure?

In this day and age of audio and visual tools everywhere, can Sahara Reporters show us a clips of thier reported booing and can the PRO of the Student politics, show us the clips of the cheering?

He went shopping without any aide or guard. incredible

Why is it incredicble, how many guards have you got?

At least he has the cash to pay for it. Damn him if he asked for a change.

@logical & majekdom2. I did not say that this situation is the same as adoption. Am trying to say that he can still keep this kids and maybe treat the scenario as an adoption under such a very uncomfortable situation.
No matter what happened, it's not their fault. You cannot switch off like that about kids you have adored all their lives and suddenly abandoned them. Am sure that when emotion calm down that he will regret his own action.
It's a test of character for him, he should not allow emotion to overcome his sense of reasoning. I can only imagine how he feels.

I cannot imagine such a betrayal. But returning the kids to anyone is like a punishment to the innocent kids that called you and had known you as their dad all their lives for something they are not a party to.

I know a lot of emotional stuff he must have gone through but punishing the children is as bad as the adultery that produces them.
You don't have to share a DNA with someone especially under this circumstances to be a father to them.
My only beloved daughter was adopted from an orphanage when she was just six months old. And today she is still one the best things that has happened to my wife and I.

If know the true meaning of the word terrorism, you will actually realise that you are just sounding like one.
