9ijaMan:
I totally agree with this point. Eloquence in speech from our leaders is not the bane of our development but the will and power to deliver the dividends of democracy, if any!

Shekarau made that point in his facile conclusion asking Nigerians to vote the man with experience and integrity, which unfortunately for him (Shekarau) happens to be Buhari.

Are you this stupiddd in real life or you acquired the gene (stu4ever.11) over time?

EzeUche_:
I see your point. Comparing Ribadu to Buhari, Buhari is the clear winning. Mehn, I am really disappointed with Ribadu. Such an arrogant, pompous buffoon. People led me to believe he was somewhat educated.

Buhari has a LL.B from ABU, the HQ of Northern intellectuals/intelligentsia.

^^^

His BBC interview wasnt that bad either

His problem is that he is a governor if the far north, so a lotta people in the south do not know him very well


It is unfortunate that some people have resulted to soiling his character, very shameful IMO

Who else thinks Shekerau is the best thing to happen to Nigerian politics, as we approach the forth coming election


He seems to be the best person for the post, not Ribadu and definitely, not mumuchukwu Odechikwu odelabi diddinrinlomo Azikiwi ediotlomo Ebele Jonastupid Jonathan.


His VP is also well grounded too


Sai Shekerau

WHo cares what the US government thinks

They dont have a good understanding of whats on ground.

Let them shove their assessment of Shekerau. They are prolly confusing Kwakwanso with Shekerau,

Kobojunkie:
Shekarau is also the Sharia Governor of Kano State.  

I am loving this man ooo,  SO articulate yet when you look at his his record, you quiver!

Stop that Kobo


He never supported sharia for foreigners


Sharia is part of the Nigerian system.


Sai Shekerau

Ribadu is just stupidddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Kano used to be a hot bed for religious riots, but Shekerau has done a lot to change the situation on gound



Sai Shekarau

Ribadu is very very very very very very very stupidddddddd

Kobojunkie:
Are you casting your vote for the best Speaker? Or are you casting for the one with the best record of actual ACTION?

Shekarau is definitely best speaker but this is the same man that starved Kano for years as governor.  

substantiate

Stop maligning!

Shekarau has done great in Kano!

Shekarau is very original!

Shekerau is very trustworthy and good


He would prolly do better than Pat Utomi

Only in Nigeria do presidential candidates run on the back of a performing governor.


I thought it should be the other way round


Ribadu is  just rambling, too simplistic answers.

Seun:
Shekarau's answer to the polio issue was good.

But not a popular answer. His explanation is wack and elitist though.

eku_bear:
Fake drugs is the big problem with healthcare  

Buhari is a dumbass.

Access is the biggest problem, not so much fake drugs.People know where to get good drugs if they want!

abopal:
THEN MAKE DIMEJI BANKOLE your PRESIDENT IF ITS BY ENGLISH

Bank-ole has bad teeth

Shekerau needs to join alliance with ACN

He is by far better than the rest

If he doesnt get it now, he surely is bound to be president on Nigeria.

Shekerau has won me over

I was impressed with his BBC interview as well

Very inspiring!  Very well spoken too!

eku_bear:
Pat Utomi would murder these three guys in a debate. Why wasn't he invited?

Do American TVs invite Ralph Nader to debates?

Buhari has no clue on how to improve the educational system. SMH!

^^^^

Thank you very much.

You are the best!


I really really appreciate your effort.

You can fool some people all the time, all the people sometimes, but never everyone all the time

You have being unveiled. So just come out jejely before you are exposed by Mukinatudeen and Jarusafat!

amu ukwu:
abeg educate me, which one be 'igbo kind of' . Igbo na igbo, yoruba na yoruba, hausa na hausa. Unless you are mixed

She is Igbo married/hooked to a Yoruba, Fstranger. thats the Kind of she is talking about.

Inked_Nerd:
@OP: I'll marry from whichever one the person I fall in love with is from

Thank Chineke!

Eko Ile:
In the same article,


Practicing Awolowo's pacifist brand of politics in today's Nigeria = Suicide.


I'm really glad we have Tinubu because if the man did not stand strong, sacrifice and refuse to sell out to OBJ for 8 long years, na PDP go occupy Alausa  and whatever ever Lagos is today go instead be the oposite with nothing but dirt and misery all over Lagos.


I really do believe Lagosians owe Tinubu a whole lot. He's a strong leader and I truly admire him.

^^^^

And you think killing Funsho Williams was the way to go.


Openly disagreeing with Bucknor and Pedro and Ogunlewe, putting lives in danger is the better alternative?

seanet02:
This PDP people are identical in their behaviours. Bunch of animals. Where were they when TINUBU and co were fighting for Democracy? TINUBU gave us Fashola, Fayemi, Oshiomole and Aregbesola who are the best governors in Nigeria, so there is no way am going to support a PDP that gave me OGD, Akala, Ohakim, Oyinlola and co looters. TINUBU till i die.

Ko ni da fun e. The next time you say Tinubu gave us Oshiomole and Aregbesola, I will shepe or you. oshiomole made his name long before he became close to Tinubu.

ANd, if you do not know about Aregbe, just ask. As for Fashola, I understand. But the rest you mentioned, don say that again.

Let Oshiomole and Aregbe hear that from you.

@fstranger3: Spend less time on nairaland, more time on some forums on groups.yahoo.com where they discuss politics. Will better help you understand certain things. Or talk to some politically aware older Yoruba folk in their 40s and 50s.

Tinubu is not Awo, Ige, or Adesanya. He is not a hero. He is a large, vicious dog, perhaps a little insane. But if someone wants to rob your house, the first thing they do is to poison/kill your dog.

L[b]ook, as much as I like Awo, Ige and the rest[/b]. . . how effective were they, really?  Ultimately i'm after results. Say what you will about Tinubu, but I think he will deliver results.

Obviously, you didnt know why Ige was killed and prolly did not live through his era as the Governor of Oyo and seen him in action. Even Seanet and Eko Ile would not be so bold to compare the influence of Ige with what Tinubu is doing.

Mtcweeeew. Tinubu by stinking butt-crack!

Did you live through his era as the governor of Lagos State? He had the opportunity, he did nada,how could you expect him to deliver now.

On Tinubu, After studying him and living through his era, I dont know what anyone can tell me about him that I dont already know.

ATreides, long time no hi

Whats up baby girl?

eku_bear:
We are faced with a variety of evils, yet fstranger seems interested in choosing the larger ones. I don't get it.

@fstranger: Tinubu is not perfect, but is necessary at this point in time. We have enemies in this Nigeria, and Tinubu seems to be the only one interested in fighting them.

Wait a minute! Examine the principles behind what Tinubu is doing.  Examine the morality.  Take an example of the internal wrangling he is having with Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, is that consistent with true party politics?[size=18pt]We’re looking at the outside, if somebody is doing something for self, then there is danger ahead[/size].  Fair enough, he survived and we know how he survived and it was in our favour that he survived.  Whatever method he used, we support, but that does not mean that we would not recognise the faults in his way of doing politics.



. . . He said he would make him chancellor of Lagos State University, LASU. I also told him that if Dawodu has agreed to step down, I, Ayo Adebanjo, will not agree for you to start dictating to us on how to run the party, a party that we had been running before you became governor, no, we will not allow you depose Dawodu. It is just a matter of principle.[size=18pt] Any disagreement with Tinubu is purely on principle. I detest his political methods.[/size]


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/12/south-west-politics-tinubu-the-dangers-ahead-by-ayo-adebanjo/

And that is coming from Ayo Adebanjo, one of the remaining Awoists alive.


You guys keep putting him on a pedestal he does not belong. What has he done that  no one else can do. He wasnt the lawyer that represented Aregbesola and the rest. let him do the right thing, like how Awo and Bola Ige  and Adesanya and the rest of them greats would have done it. Not his magomago and wuruwuru way of doing things.


Hopefully, he is locked up for good. His overbearing attitude/influence is stifling the voice of other credible people in the party and the SW.



Tinubu ko, Tinu-igbe ni!

seanet02:
GBAM.  You can not have said better. Fstranger3 is the only son of a PDP usurper who is very popular in criminal circles. If not for the YORUBA link, i will have slapped the sense out of this childish poster.

Can you please mention one credible person that is in support of Tinubu's actionss.

Whatever he is doing will eventually backfire and we will all end up where we shouldnt. its already happening, buying votes, intimidation of voters , bribing judges and what not. This guy from Iragbiji who cliamed to have attended GCI and University of Chicago, and who counts on shady characters like Tokunbo Afikuyomi as friend is a ticking time bomb and the sooner his actions are curtailed, the better for us as a people.
