Yes, they support Osinbajo and not Buhari. They are hoping for one of two things

1. Buhari wins but would be so senile and unintelligent enough not to be able to rule. That way, a Yoruba man is the de facto president.

2. Buhari actual dies in power, and like GEJ, Osinbajo takes over.

But in the event that Buhari wins the Yoruba will be in for a shocker because, the north will not allow themselves to be cheated twice. There will be so much blood shed in the west, which is already the backyard of the fulani, that they will regret their action against Jonathan

Their only saving grace is that Buhari will never win.

ROSSIKE:
No illiterate will rule Nigeria you amala eating motorpark dropout. Tell your criminal mentors Tinubu and Atiku the fact.

ROSSIKE:
Can Buhari pronounce a single word in English correctly? An illiterate without common WAEC? Hilary will need a translator to converse with him.

ROSSIKE:
Dude please shut the fck up. The US funds and supports the same terrorism you claim they want Jonathan to fight. The US funded al qaeda terrorists in Syria and Libya. Even wikileaks has linked the CIA with Boko Haram. Go and learn what is really going on. Olodo.

bakila:
This thread shows that mentality of provincial thinkers. That you think such picture will weaken the resolve of Nigerians to act together shows that you have been taking to your brothers consistently if not exclusively to loss sight of what is the issue at stake.
Every Nigerian knows that the Yorubas are the kind of people that will be prostrating to you and after the period for that has lapsed they will say " me onigba ohh" my yoruba is poor but its something like "I dont agree". That lady will not waste time advising Buhari talkless of Aisha.

NewNigeriaMind:
you see your life. Tribalism has made you take leave of your senses. which one is free Yoruba

Fast forward to 2014, and much has changed. Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari are now the only major presidential contenders. Gone too is the unprecedented goodwill that brought Jonathan good fortune in the 2011 elections. By turning his back on the masses that brought him to office; by insulating himself from the Nigerian people and responding to well-meaning criticism with the insensitive barks of garrulous spokesmen; by encouraging corruption at an unprecedented scale, and playing politics with the most sensitive security menace that the Nigerian nation has faced in over four decades, Jonathan has frittered away probably the broadest coalition ever assembled for a political cause in Nigeria.

[b]With six continuous years as Nigeria’s President, counting from his elevation to the position of Acting President in February 2010, Jonathan can no longer blame anyone for his failures. The Boko Haram insurgency has raged on, unabated. Jonathan himself claimed that there were people in his government that supported Boko Haram – yet almost three years on, there have been no arrests or prosecutions of the sponsors and supporters of the sect. The Nigerian economy has languished, and for all the macroeconomic growth that the government has touted, the Nigerian economy might have to undergo austerity measures in 2015. The callous removal of fuel subsidies in 2012 and the obscene levels of corruption within the Jonathan administration have eroded the image of the president as someone who understands the challenges of the masses. The breath of fresh air that Jonathan and the PDP famously promised in the 2011 elections has become an odious and putrid stench of corruption and ineptitude that now threatens to drive him from office.[/b]

eliment:
An award well deserved

sanmibukunmi:
The issue here is u Jonathanians have failed woefully in your bid to convince ppl to vote Gej.and then resulted into different sorts of lies and example is the one I mentioned above. 6 years ago we stood gallantly by Jona after Yaradua death for him to become president cos dt was what d constitution permits and 2 years after dt we voted him for anoda 4 years. All dis we did cos actully we are civilised and we don't allow ethnicity to cloud our judgements. Now majority of us are tired and we want a change and what do u ppl come up with Nothing else but just cheap and useless talk...u ppl are indeed a disgrace...

NBA Set To Honour Osinbajo, Aturu With Integrity Award

The Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja branch will on Thursday
honour the vice presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo(SAN), as the
recipient of its second edition of Gani Fawehinmi Integrity
Award.
Also to be honoured with the same award post-humously is
the late human rights lawyer, Bamidele Aturu.
The two men, according to the NBA, were chosen “after a
vigorous and painstaking search” as men who exemplified
Fawehinmi’s guiding principles while alive.
Fawehimmi, a rights lawyer, died on September 5, 2009.
The NBA said the award was inaugurated two years ago in
recognition of what Fawehinmi stood for.
“We know what Gani stood for all his life. He hated
corruption with a passion. He was all for the uplift of the
standard of living of the Nigerian poor masses.
“This award is given to men and women of very high
integrity in a society where such people are few and far
between,” the NBA told journalists in Lagos on Wednesday.
Osinbajo and Aturu will be honoured during the 11th Gani
Fawehinmi annual lecture/symposium and second NBA Ikeja
Gani Fawehimi Integrity Award slated for Thursday.
The lecture for this year, the NBA said, is with the theme:
“Ethnicity, Religion, Illiteracy: Promises and Illusions of
Democracy in the struggle to uplift the masses from
impoverishment.”
The event will hold at the Airport Hotel, Ikeja and it would
be chaired by Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie.
The speakers are Dr. Alex Otti and Dr. Zaid Timehin while
Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) will publicly present a book, “Stand
up for what is right” titled after Fawehinmi’s popular slogan.
In a related development, legal practitioners in the country,
under the aegis of Lawyers4Change, took to the streets of
Lagos on Wednesday in what was tagged ‘Walk for Change.”
The exercise was to sensitise Lagosians on the need to go
and collect their Permanent Voter Cards at the office of the
independent National Electoral Commission in preparation
for the February general elections.
The lawyers, while walking through Oba Akinjobi way, Oba
Akran road, Obafemi Awolowo way, Allen Avenue, Toyin
street, Olowu street, all in the Ikeja area of Lagos State also
urged Lagosians to vote for the APC presidential candidate,
Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and his running mate
Osinbajo.
The National Coordinator of Lawyers4Change, Mr. Adesina
Ogunlana, while addressing the crowd at Obafemi Awolowo
junction and Alade market, said Buhari and Osinbajo would
bring integrity into governance of the country if elected on
February 14.

According to Ogunlana the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket represented “honour, integrity, hardwork and the
entrenchment of the rule of law in the country.”
Also speaking, the National Coordinator, Voters Awareness
Initiative, Mr. Wale Ogunade, assured the Hausa community
at Alade Market that electing Buhari and Osinbajo would
guarantee them an enabling environment to do their
business.

AirborneLacer:
Dude you're the one plumbing the depths of delusion.

How does the Statement ''Buhari doesn't deserve an Ogbuagu title'' correlate with this myopic assertion of yours?

Are you irretrievably daft?

For all I care, he could get bestowed anyother title but not the Ogbuagu, he [Buhari] in my opinion hasn't done anything stellar to earn that title.

Ogbeni spare me your colossal brainfart.

BraniacX:
Are you effing stewpid or just blindly arrogant? Who are you to tell someone they can't have their own personal or collective bias when you're obviously not free of bias yourself? You position yourself on the podium of being a yoruba and think that gives you the gumption to play judge over other peoples/tribes internal affairs

Mr warn yourself before I warn you
Your homebase is not speckless but I wouldn't attack yorubas because of you and your type alone so behave yourself before I school you in manners and FYI am not even ibo, am just disgusted by your continuos rubbish

You are very stupid, I a have sacrificed a lot for one Naijeriya, you are the one that is hypocritical and indoctrinated, after deliberately killing innocent civilians in the genocide think this in your rotten head. BIAFRA is my country, my nation, my Pride and my strength, if you don't like it, then join your ancestors.

cocoduck:
Don't mind that Idiot, last week staurday, my gran ma showedme pictures of our famil;y members that died in the genocide, beutiful kids and women were the majority, and that isi azu, akamu will tell me to move on, when there is no truth and reconciliation. Mpa ya bu onye iberibe.

olas24u:
Trash even the women in the Lagos market have kids studying in the same school.whats the big deal in studying in U.k and living there

JiggamanGh:
Nigerians are fools and haas no brain in their big head. This is not about Ghana and Nigeria and yes whatever happens to a Nigeria also affects Ghana so we also have a say. As we speak hundreds of nigerians are trooping into Ghana and should this boko haram issue continue more will come and Ghana can't handle all of them.

AirborneLacer:
Titles are merited. Buhari doesn't deserve an Ogbuagu title.

You have to understand why the poster is voicing his incredulity at the decision to bestow such a 'powerful' title on a man who isn't worth it.

funkiebully:
Imagine giving title of ogbu agu to d futajalon invader that killed ur ancestors.

So d igbo kids He killed during d war are now agu?

God forbid me having this kind of igwe, He will b dethroned d next day.

thewarrior72:
Stripping him off his title should be the first line of actions & subsequently banishing him & his family from Aba & entire igboland & declaring him persona non grata to igbo nation.....Bastard

And Jonathan is there watching the show of shame without intervening.

tochukwuifeduba:
Gen Buhari is not only a senile Old man but He is also sick and possibly suffering from an uncurable killer diseases "Alzheimer Parkinson Disease" resulting in acute memory lost( He Just forgot the name of His Running mate Prof Osibanjo at the ongoing Apc Rally)

i'm Calling on the good people of the Northern Nigeria especially the Hausa/Fulani ethnic extraction to reject Buhari because his emergence as the Apc flagbearer over more Charismatic and Energetic Northerners is a grand Dubious conspiracy by the Yoruba people to repeat the Yar'adua/ Jonathan Saga where Obasanjo imposed a sick Northern President we cannot afford to make the same mistake twice.

We the People of Northern Nigeria cannot be deceive by this Hoax and Pupported New Love from the Yoruba's , Buhari is simply too old to withstand the rigorous stress of Governance Hence pairing him with a more relatively Young Yoruba man Prof Osibanjo is a Political Gamble to return power to the South-West after they have used their own quota under Obasanjo from 1999-2007.

We the Patriotic Northerners are calling on Gen Buhari to step down for a more energetic and Youthful Presidential aspirant of Northern Origin to take His place if he truely have the sincere interest of we the Northerners in Heart.

theV0ice:
the question is why did he constitute a committee to probe, spend tax payers money on them and their work, set up another committee to look at the report when all along he knew he wasn't going to implement it?

yet some will be angry when you call him clueless

FreeGlobe:
@Gbawe
The report will be implementated in the 2nd tenure of GEJ, together with the national conference report. You people think we are fools because of your VP ambition. You lots are are funny. The obasanjo/tinubu plot of Trying to come in again through the backdoor after losing national prominence by blackmailing GEJ. It won't work!
in 2019, it'll be North/SE or SE/North.
