The darkness the PDP has cast over Nigeria for 16 years will be lifted this year.

don33310:
I am not a fan of IBB,he has spoken well

My opinion also. Good Nigerians must ask themselves what manner of President is GEJ when he is willing to destroy everything and everyone to get his way. The unity of Nigerians is gone to now be replaced by the sort of ethnic loathing we are told preceded the civil war. All Nigerian institutions are now private servants of the PDP exemplified by the DSS spokesperson ( Marilyn Ogar) who openly convicts the opposition of wrongdoing without any proof whatsoever. The police has become a joke under GEJ used to hound and teargas our number 4 citizen ,i.e Tambuwal, as if he is a criminal.

The Navy is now a glorified errand boy forced to take orders from the illiterate Tompolo. They have now turned on the army as part of a general plan to discredit Buhari. All this desperation is only infuriating Nigerians to make PDP fans and undecided neutrals to now pledge support for Buhari. PDP is showing it is a very evil and wicked entity not at all sorry for its misrule of 16 years. IBB, from all we have seen, was not behind Buhari initially. Now even 'Maradona' has had enough of the disgraceful 'shenanigans' of the PDP. Go figure.

The PDP should go to the poll and take their defeat gallantly. It is just reward for leading a people so horribly for almost 2 decades. It is the payback for creating a nauseating empire of greed and corruption where one President uses ten airplanes and eats N1 billion food annually while most Nigerians do not even have a bicycle and cannot eat one healthy meal per day !!!

Nigerians will resist any attempt to postpone the elections which will be interpreted as an attempt to perpetuate the heartless PDP in power and thus elongate the already unbearable suffering of the masses.

PDP should not even try this crap which is capable of destabilizing a Country already on the brink. The PDP should respect Nigerians and go peacefully rather than try any sit-tight mago-mago that will bring the 'Arab springs' to Nigeria. A word is enough for the wise.

WisdomFlakes:
If only the President had spent more time aggressively highlighting his achievements, like meeting personally with beneficiaries of his successes in the agric sector (the real grassroot folks), riding in the refurbished trains, meeting and socializing with SURE-P/YouWin beneficiaries, and shedding that timid image he's cultivated for himself since the inception of his administration, maybe, just maybe he would stand a better chance in this election.


Rather, he allowed FFK and his campaign team waste the last 3 weeks going after Buhari's certificate. But since that wild goose chase has resulted in futility, he now wants to bend the rules by asking for an extension to campaign on the real issues.


Fa Fa Fa Fowl!

I have not seen this expression in ages . Nice post by the way.

Awon ole. collect billions and give the people nada in return. Welcome to politics the PDP way.

The statement below, after all is said and done, is solid gold. What progress-loving and well-meaning Nigerians must ask themselves is whether we have not given the current government (5 years) and the PDP as a whole (16 years) more than enough time to "prove their worth". After all that time, and putting sentiments aside, do we have even the basics as obtains in all serious nations of the world?

We are still in darkness. We still cannot refine our crude oil endowment optimally to meet domestic use let alone profit as a nation from selling refined derivatives of crude as should befit our status as the 7th largest producer of crude oil in the world. We are still infrastructurally bankrupt. Insecurity is worsening and Nigeria is rapidly becoming Somalia while corruption now seems an untouchable monster. The common verdict for all decent Nigerians is that GEJ and the PDP have failed Nigeria horribly. This level of failure is not indulged for even one year in most nations of the world talk less of the 16 years Nigerians have had to put up with the PDP receiving billions and giving the masses nothing but misery in return. It is now not possible for any decent and balanced Nigerian to vote the PDP in good conscience.

The PDM called on Nigerians to reject desperate politicians who have been given a chance to prove their worth but failed.”

LRNZH:
Everyone should know this by now.

Tribalism has overriden some people's sense of judgement and perception.

Indeed. How can some people want Nigeria to continue as things stand? The world was repulsed at how 2000 Nigerians were butchered recently but they could not be bothered to grieve for us after seeing how our government abandoned the Chibok girls in confirmation of how Nigeria is led by callous crooks who care very little for the lives and safety of their citizens. You are totally right to mention tribalism as a core issue because Jonathan, a terrible example of a very sectional and tribalistic President, would not be so comfortable watching so many die in the North if he cares about every Nigerian life. Rather GEJ goes everywhere to set Nigerian ethnic groups against themselves so he can win in the most crude show of the detrimental use of 'divide and conquer' politics.

Jonathan, if not a tribalistic and petty-minded individual unfit to lead, would not sanction his minions to come out and announce that every issue is the work of "enemies" wanting to discredit the GEJ government. "Chibok kidnapping is a scam" nailed the coffin of GEJ home and abroad. The world stood with France that lost under 20 individuals to terror yet ignored Nigeria that lost around 2000 to the same problem in the same week. The entire world carried #bringourgirlsback# placards for Nigeria but gave up on us when they realised that the Nigerian government does not even care about the Chibok girls and the situation in the North. How the world treated Nigeria over the Baga Boko Haram massacre speaks volumes to sensible Nigerians who must now see what our country has become under GEJ and understand what we must do to rescue our nation from failing totally.

Mogidi:
Bros Gbawe no need to hyperventilate na, vote PDP to get Ibadan state, I pasted the source too, go check it.

Please act upright for once in your life and stop hiding behind childish mischief. You can support the PDP but that does not mean you must promote and endorse everything the Party does even when you know such is detrimental to the progress of Nigeria. The interest of over 170 million people is greater than the squabbles between two main political Parties.

What is best for Nigerians should take precedence in the mind and thoughts of all enlightened Nigerians. To that extent, non of us should support what we know is a step backwards for Nigeria even when such comes from the political Party we support. Ibadan State? Seriously? Are the PDP for real or is this another indictment of how PDP leaders are crooks who will say and promise anything, however unfeasibly inane and retrogressive, to gain more 'looting time'?

KHAYGOLD:
PDP has totally lost it. This shouldn't be a reason to vote Jonathan.

Indeed. PDP is now behaving like a lunatic that deserves to be sectioned and locked away !!! What manner of desperation has led to this idiotic campaign pledge that, at best, is a joke and and a big insult against the intelligence of Oyo folks and Nigerians in general? Instructive as well that the PDP only know how to divide and polarise everything/every group and every gathering without "giving a damn" about the repercussion of their actions.

The PDP will set brothers/communities/religious faiths et al against each other simply to earn more looting time. Now they are trying to coerce Ibadan folks to vote for them with the carrot of disunity and needless rebellion. This is the only thing the PDP knows to do i.e divide, destroy and loot. We can even see this with how GEJ has destroyed and divided his own Party, the Army, the EFCC, DSS, Nigeria Police force, important Nigerian institutions and Nigeria in general. It is shocking the PDP does not realise Nigerians are now aware of their fondness for 'divide and conquer'. This is not the sort of thing a child should say let alone a ruling Party use as a campaign 'Carrot'. Let every landmass within a State begin agitating for separation then. Idiocy of the highest order.

This OP is a disgusting chap I don't even like to quote or dignify with a response to his posts which are main silly and cretinous. Yet this post is different in its silliness and outright idiocy. I am shocked the OP is not ashamed to bring this garbage here which is an insult to to the intelligence of all Nigerians and another indictment of how clueless and destructive the PDP is. PDP, seriously ?

Is this how desperate the ruling Party is after failing Nigerians for 16 years? Okay let me holla Epe/Ikeja/Surulere folks to vote Agbaje and GEJ to get Epe/Ikeja/Surulere State respectively !!!!!!! While at it, why not promise Abeokuta or Ijebu Ode their own State if they vote for the PDP in Ogun State? Osun nKo? Perhaps Osogbo folks should vote PDP and get their own State !!!! Totally ridiculous and the sort of antics expected from a drowning Party that has nothing to offer the masses and is now only willing to say and do anything, however impractical or silly, that will provide 4 more years to loot the commonwealth of the people on top of the 16 years they have had already.

These are the sort of issue-based realities and submissions that Nigerians should focus on in making their electoral choices. Vote for GEJ and , as now confirmed again, you are certainly voting for death and worsened terror as Nigeria descends further into greater chaos on the way to becoming Somalia or Iraq. Or you can vote GMB and get change from a terrible status quo. It is simply the time to put sentiments aside and do the right thing. Nigeria made a terrible mistake with GEJ and it is time to correct that mistake.

“The best hope (of defeating Boko Haram) would be the elections. For me the problem is in Nigeria. The answer is in Nigeria.” He added: “I’m confident that so long as President Jonathan is in charge there isn’t much that can be done. He isn’t in control of the military leadership. And the leadership doesn’t control the soldiers on the ground.”

Nigerians are indeed fed up of GEJ. 4 more years under him and our nation will be worse than Somalia and Iraq.

FreeGlobe:
landslide victory for azikiwe, dont believe me just watch

You're still pretending to be a woman? That is what losers do. GEJ has even begun packing out of Aso Rock secretly. As for the "Azikiwe" GEJ used to con ethnocentric simpletons like you, I can only laugh at your gullibility.

customized13:
GEJ will win and I will invite you to Rita Lori for the celebration.

I can even smell your fear. You guys are absolutely petrified your ethnocentric messiah is about to be sent packing

customized13:
Is this a style of begging for mercy?

Do you have comprehension issues? The crystal clear message is that bigots, clannish drifters and enemies of progress like you, despite all your current antics, will have the displeasure of witnessing change that will put Nigeria on the path of greatness you folks never want the nation to experience.

You want the turmoil GEJ is supervising to continue because of your vendetta-driven malice against Nigeria but light will always overcome the darkness in the heart of your sort. I am telling you and others that you guys are wasting your time. Did you not see the pro-GMB responses Okupe got on twitter from Nigerians from all corners of our nation when he tried to mock Buhari?

coolhamid:
Nice one gbawe, instead of them to tell us the plans they have for NIGERIANS they are busy attacking the General who doesnt have their time...

Bruv, they have no "plans" for Nigeria and 16 years of failure from the PDP shows us this fact in 3D. TANdroids and Jonathanians are doing precisely what Obama stated in 2008 in regards to the mudslinging conducts of worthless candidates and their desperate fans i.e:

[size=16pt]Obama 2008: 'If You Don't Have a Record To Run On, Then You Paint Your Opponent as Someone People Should Run From'[/size]

EVen the world mourns with Nigeria over our misfortune of having Jonathan as our leader. If Hilary Clinton is not criticising the "corrupt" GEJ then David Cameron is asking him to account for billions that has disappeared under his watch with Ghanaian Prof Ayittey going further to even call Jonathan "a joke" of "unsound mind" Nigerians should "rid themselves of". Does this man enjoy support from any sane and balanced person?

Media Chat: Ghanaian Professor Blasts Goodluck Jonathan, Says: “This Guy is a Joke”
June 25, 2012 by Samuel K. Obour 117 Comments

One of the World’s foremost economists, Professor George Ayittey has lashed out at the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ), describing him as “a joke” and a mediocre President after his (GEJ’s) encounter with the media last night.
According to Professor Ayittey, Nigeria “deserves a better leader”, judging by GEJ’s poor, almost unfortunate responses to some of the questions posed to him by the Nigerian media last night.
The Professor indicated that GEJ’s refusal to declare his assets and his failure to tackle the Boko Haram crisis suggest that he is of an unsound mind.

He therefore called on Nigerians to rid themselves of GEJ as soon as possible.
He said: “Nigerians should not put up with such mediocrity and should mount a RECALL GEJ campaign. They should check Chapter VI of their Constitution. See Sections 143 and 144 about removing the President and Vice-President from office other than through elections”.
“137; 1c: “A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if under the law in any part of Nigeria, he is adjudged to be a lunatic or otherwise declared to be of unsound mind.”

Professor Ayittey, a Ghanaian economist, author, president of the Free Africa Foundation in Washington DC, professor at American University, and an associate scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, made this known on twitter this morning.

“Look, this GEJ guy is a joke – a meretricious mediocrity. Nigerians deserve a better leader. Fancy his statements and responses to questions in a media chat on June 24, 2012:

bokohalal:
Some people will develop High Blood Pressure after Buhari wins.

Well, they are unprincipled losers anyway and used to weeping initially only to then start bowing for the new King so I expect these goons will all be shouting "sai Buhari" after FeBuhari 14th.

baby124:
Thanks for the message. All i see is campaign of calumny and razz promises from both sides. When will both parties start addressing issues, and sit down to have frank discussions on what they intend to do and how they intend to do it? Instead of insulting each other and chasing tails or crowd all over the place. Get on radio's and TV's let the people who vote hear what you have to offer. Campaigning is about selling yourself, not telling us that you will give us internet, or rice. In this 2015. .

What are their plans for electricity, health care, chibok girls, book haram, inflation, cost of living. So many issues we have, but all we see are useless fights. Please you people should get busy and stop dancing around like masquerade.

My brother, fair is fair in life. APC has done nothing but to "address issues" so far and I don't believe you could have missed this with so many articles in Nigerian newsources and even topics on Nairaland showing this daily. It is the PDP singularly engaged in mudslinging because the Party has nothing to sell GEJ on.

EnigmAries:
You don't sit on the hot seat telling your employer( in this case, Nigerians) why other candidates are not qualified for the job, but rather convince them you can do it better. It's common sense, Jonathan can not secure this job without telling us what he has done and what he is going to do differently if re-elected. Seeing that he has no good performance to boast about, he resorted to blackmail. He has failed.

Precisely. If Jonathan were to be viewed as the 'father' of Nigerians then he would be an example of the most callous father possible. No decent father eats copiously while his children are starving. GEJ eats N1 billion food and uses ten airplanes,and still demanding more,while Nigerians starve. Those are the things that have now convinced Nigeria that Mr.President is not a good or even decent leader. To top it off is this exercise in futility related to attacking Buhari while the world continues to blast the GEJ Government as one that has failed horribly and let Nigerians down shockingly.

Stop wasting your own time and breath telling us why Buhari must not be President while you refuse outright to show us why GEJ should gain another 4 years in Aso Rock. Nigerians have made up their mind to vote for Buhari because 5 years of horrendous leadership from GEJ has shown every human being in the universe that:


Education without principles and decency is worthless in relation to leadership.
An over-religious leader who operates without the fear of god leading his conduct is useless to those he leads.
Wearing no shoe as a kid does not mean the child will grow up into an adult who will side with and fight for the underprivileged in society.
Call yourself "fresh air" and "transformation" means nothing when your history indicates that you are a failed and mediocre leader.
The myth of "goodluck" does not translate into good fortunes for Nigeria. After 5 years 'goodluck' now appears a curse.
Pretending to be a "gentleman" does not mean you cannot be the same person looting the nation dry with a gang of feral crooks.
Conning people about being humble does not stop you from being divisive,polarising and callously Machiavellian.
Etc,etc, etc,etc,etc.

The message to Jonathanians and TANdroids is that Nigerians see through your messiah. You cannot wipe out memories of the pain, deaths, deprivation, darkness, backwardness and poverty 5 years of Jonathan's hideous misrule has caused the average Nigerian with 1 month of bombing the internet with lies about Buhari. This lastminutedotcom desperation is Too little too late for a people who have suffered horrendously and now want change..

EUROBOMBER:
The Buhari result is fraud!
look at the disjointed lines, the Oluwole man that did this imposition job is not well skilled.

The result sheet itself was only signed and stamped by the principal this year, does it mean that the school did not sign or stamp this schedule of results since 1961??

Are you done ranting? Continue to waste your own time which you could be using productively for something else. Do you even understand the essence of this thread which is that Okupe tried to focus on what you are also obsessing about yet Nigerians, in the overwhelming majority, were not interested in the slightest bit? Please keep up the effort. With your efforts, GMB wins more new converts by the day. God is in charge and using even the enemies of progress like you to guide Buhari to Aso Rock.

OgologoDimkpa:
APC felt they have the monopoly of words. GEJ till 2019!!!

What is this one saying? Clever APC strategists will be privately praying for the PDP to keep up the negative words and vitriol after asking others for "issue-based campaigning". Can you not see from the response to fat "bastard" Okupe that the "words" of the PDP is not having the effects people like you want and only harden the resolve of Nigerian to vote for GMB? I don't know why you fans of GEJ love to bask in self-deceit.

Is this not confirmation of what some of us argued from when GMB squared up to face Kwankwaso, Atiku, Okorocha et al at the APC Primaries? The fact Okupe and other mercenaries do not want to accept is that Nigerians are a fairly simple people. They queued behind GEJ in 2011. They sang and danced for him because of the belief he represented change. 4 years later and it is the the ultra corrupt and misruling leadership of GEJ that has now shown Nigerians what matter above all else.

Nigerians now know that a PHD is worthless if it is not in the possession of a good, decent and pro-people leader. Our people now understand that having no shoes as a boy does not mean a kid has turned into a principled adult passionate about the underprivileged class he came from. We now completely accept that being from an ethnic group that produces majority of the wealth of Nigeria does not predispose an unprincipled man to doing what is right . Nigerians have watched events unfold to see that even the SS region of GEJ fared much better under a Fulani man i.e Yar Adua.

All GEJ has done is empower corruption moguls, militants in the SS and those who "carry guns" (Rev.Ugolor) to the detriment of the region. Under GEJ the NDDC (Niger Delta development commission) has only succeeded to further impoverish the SS it was set up to develop and empower. The long and short of issues, as the responses to Okupe confirms, is that whatever the mercenaries of GEJ attack Buhari with will only make Nigerians love and support him more because it is now crystal clear to all of us that it is the innate character , decency and pro-people goodness of a leader that matters above everything else. Nigerians have now had the distasteful experience of watching the most highly-educated President in the history of our nation turn out to be the most corrupt, most callous, most pro-elite, most criminal-friendly and most anti-people leader we have had to date yet the fat "bastard" Okupe thinks he can still work the education card? 'Goodluck' to Goodluck and the ridiculous mercenaries he surrounds himself with.

zomby:
Out of all the governors, being the @ss kisser that he is, AYO FAYOSE decided to put up FRONT page on 2 newspapers, speculating that Buhari is too sick and too old to be president.
The FRONT page adv cost over 20M each while Ekiti workers have not been paid since September. In fact, rumor has it that he also contacted others newspapers but they refused. That is what you get when you vote for a thug.

After being impeached for murder and corruption, this brainless goat, called AYO FAYOSE just became a governor again a few months ago, but the bl00dy f00l wanted to impress Jonathan ahead of other Governors, as a result, he has hanged himself.
I guarantee you that he will pay the price when the time is right.

Nigeria surely doesn't need dudes like AYO FAYOSE to lead anything... I can't wait to see the end of this senseless tout.

@OP

You are so correct. Ayo Fayose, by virtue of his past, is someone who should be focused on guiding Ekiti to greater heights if he is a decent human being who has learnt from his mistakes and is now focused on rectifying them. Regrettably for Ekiti folks, it appears that Fayose only confirms the saying "a fool at 40 is a fool forever". We can even amend that saying , because of Fayose's conduct since he became a governor for the second time, to conclude that a thug at 40 is a thug forever.

The next move will be to demand his birth certificate since Buhari, according to the scared and desperate PDP, has now become a Cameroonian or Burkinabe overnight who must be disqualified from running to lead Nigeria.

Orikinla:
ANOTHER DESPERATE PAPA DECEIVE PIKIN (PDP) FAKE GROUP.
WHO ARE THE CONCERNED PEOPLE IN APC?

WHAT IS NEXT?
CONCERNED FRIENDS OF BUHARI?

Thank you my brother. Evil people, by nature of their innate disposition, are very determined and deceitful. The Devil is a good example of this. Those who do not want change are the ones behind the daily 'road blocks' thrown in front of Buhari. They are scared Nigeria may change permanently when a man who is on the side of the people takes charge and makes Nigeria, as is the case worldwide, a nation that will be about the empowerment of the majority rather than the PDP's 16 years old strategy of empowering and glorifying an oligarchy catering to an elite few while the masses endure grinding poverty, neglect and deprivation.

Buhari , unfortunately for these enemies of progress, will overcome so that goodness wins and Nigeria can begin to thrive as God and the universe intended when they conspired to bestow so much endowment on us as a nation. We should not be in this position as a Nation but for pro-elite and anti-people misrulers like GEJ et al.

laidyy:
I Have Decided, I Will Vote For Buhari
If you like, tell me that Buhari went only to almajiri school, I will still vote for Buhari.
Tell me that Buhari never attended any school before. I will still vote for Buhari.
Tell me Buhari is actually an Alien from mars I will vote for Buhari.
Tell me that Buhari is actually 100 years old I will still vote for Buhari.
Tell me Buhari jailed every single Nigerian that was alive during his tenure, I will still vote for Buhari,
Tell me that during Buhari's tenure people had to apply to government and get approval before they urinate, defecate, eat or drink, I will still vote for Buhari.
Tell me that Jonathan Nigeria would be better than paradise in 4 years if I vote Goodluck, I will still vote for Buhari.
Save your words, save your energy, save your keyboards, save your time, and leave me alone.

God bless you dear lady. The part in bold above is solid gold . It is instructive that GEJ and his fans are already acting like losers with how they refuse outright to attempt selling Jonathan to the masses and prefer demonizing Buhari or deploying ridiculously childish scaremongering against those who have shown they intend to vote for him.

If they are not wishing cancer on a healthy man then Agbaje, the PDP Lagos guber candidate, is busy blackmailing Nigerians that SS militants will cripple Nigeria if GEJ is rejected at the polls.

If these people only understand human nature then they would see what is so terribly obvious which is that GEJ has effed up too much for most Nigerians to ever see him as a better option than Buhari. No threats or scaremongering can work on a people already in hell. Some people simply don't understand that Nigerians want change because life is terribly dismal and bleak under GEJ.

baybeeboi:
if this had come from the PDP,u wld say it's a fabricated lie abi?

Does this come from the APC? Let us get real. Whatever our issues in Nigeria, other Countries do not exist to pander to our APC-PDP beef. They simply deal with the criminal conduct Nigerians sometimes engage in on their soil to protect the integrity of their own security system. It is in Nigeria we make everything an APC and PDP thing without recourse to common sense or standing up for what is right and proper.

Bottom line is that it appear Tompolo colluded with some dodgy Brits to buy gunboats which would ordinarily not have been sold to him had he followed official and legal procedures. This begs the question why Nigeria is engaged, through Tompolo, in what appears to be shady acquisition of weapons when we should have official channels to use for these sort of acquisitions. Whichever way we look at issues the FG stands indicted of reducing Nigeria to a Banana Republic where our armed forces can be bypassed and relegated to mere onlookers as very sensitive duties are then handed over to militants who are glorified criminals and guns-for-hire mercenaries . No serious nation does this and this development is another example of how GEJ is turning Nigeria into a joke.

FOLYKAZE:
I have the believe that you are the owner of Osundefender. Am I right?

Yes you are. Any problem?

Fixed.

CONCERNED [s]members of the All Progressives Congress, APC[/s] and desperate members of the PDP , has expressed worries over the health condition of the Presidential Candidate of the party, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) and advised the leadership of the party to replace him with governor of Kano State, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso who came second in the primaries of the party.

skyfall:
Anything Jonathan and his criminal gang touch is definitely tained with fraud and criminality.

Yes. Sadly, it is all to the disgrace of Nigeria. The biggest black nation on earth now run like a criminal gang of petty and inept crooks.
