Buhari is a thin necked almajiri.

Lagos State ended up paying much more to the contractors as contract violation fees, much more than it would have cost to build the metroline.

Buhari is a lier and a thin necked cow and a twert.,

Areosapien:
Ol' boy, the current situation tire me sha. I just hope it doesn't turn to something really nasty.
This reminds me of the 2007 elections in the town of Ozuakoli, where, after waiting, not even a SINGLE cop or INEC official visited them. All dem see na helicopter wey just pass for sky, only for them to read on the tabloids 2 days later, "The PDP candidate was massively voted in Ozuakoli, pulling in an impressive 3,872 votes."
Everyone was like 'WTF!!!'

So, your point is?

dayokanu:
Is this the free and fair election GEJ promised us?

Seems the riggers were taken aback by the change in ballot papers and need more time to restrategize their rigging plans.

This is another reason GEJ should be voted out. The man is so clueless that he cant just do anything right

Edo- Tony Anenih should be watched closely

What has this got to do with GEJ.

You just simply ooze hatred for GEJ and its making you loose your mind. Honestly.

[size=30pt]I JUST HEARD THE INEC PRO (MOHAMMED) SPEAKING ON RADIO THAT THE FCT ELECTION IS PROPOSED. REASON, THE VENDORS HAVE NOT SUPPLIED ALL A MATERIALS AS EXPECTED[/size]

You are a damn trouble maker who cant even speak correct english - FCT Election is "PROPOSED". What is the meaning of election proposed.

opalu:
That is my point. Still at the airport by now!!!!!
If they had contracted or outsourced the LOGISTICS to the Military, since they have a dicipline time-keeping, it would have succeeded as planned.
Use the well trained and prepared people for special tasks. The world is watching us dance

and you would have come here to say soldiers stole materials and intimidated people at the polling stations.

Which world is watching you dance? You must think these kind of things are only alien to Nigeria.


People who dont expect things to be right are already screaming that elections are cancelled, why? Because they want to cause confusion. This is ridiculous. Y'all should bury your heads in shame.

Logistical problems happen everywhere.

opalu:
Military has the most efficient Logistics formation. Far more than any Logistic company in Africa.
Their transportation system on land, water etc is better than DHL, ABC and the Catholic church's

Soldiers Won’t Be At Polling Booths - Defence Minister

http://tribune.com.ng/sat/index.php/news/3768-soldiers-wont-be-at-polling-booths-defence-minister.html

opalu:
METHINKS THE ACCREDITATION PROCESS SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE ALOT MORE EASIER
ALSO THE LOGISTICS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED BY SOLDIERS

Why are you advocating for soldiers?

The military had been banned from coming near any polling station.

yeah? so poor that they have to steal IPs?

they cant even articulate their facts - I thought this thread would have ran into 60 pages by now- pages full of the sins of GEJ and what he hasnt done as a leader.

dayokanu:
Point us to where they are in the constitution and how it didnt apply to another coup plotter called General olusegun Obasanjo

Fake Nigerian. Which coup Obasanjo plotted?

Remember Mamman Vatsa? Remember the Abacha fake coup plotters who were on their way to being shot to death until providence slammed itself on OBJ and seeing him become President again, were coup plotters not such despicable elements in the Military and in the Nigerian society?

Why is Buhari, an ex coup plotter, who truncated our democracy, why is he being "celebrated" by some agnoistic and verbose looking yankees of no good repute? Why is he not consigned to prison just like a normal coup plotter?

Oba Sijuwade and his bosom friend, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, were suspended from office for six months for allegedly travelling to Israel (which had severed diplomatic relations with Nigeria at the time) by the Buhari/Idiagbon regime in 1984.

The two paramount rulers were also restricted to their respective domains for the same length of time by the then military administration.

This got the OOni furious and the Emir and vowed never to see Buhari become any President again. Please tell him o.

I want to marry u.

Kobojunkie:
But, the facts you state in no way bolsters the claim made by the @OP. Or am I missing something here? Are you suggesting the claim made in the topic are not made up?

You have proved beyond reasonable doubt that you have a tail of a goat on your hips.

What claims were made up? A true or false statement is a made up statement? You need to get your tail to work, use it to wipe the crumbs on your brain that is preventing it from functioning optimally.

Is GEJ a good man really?

By restoring ACN candidate Nuhu Ribadu’s AIG rank and permitting him and Nasir El-Rufai return from exile, has he proved himself as part of the good natured Nigerian?

Yes Mr Jarus.

List it one by one. 20 months of Buhari and GEJ's ten months.

We are listening to you, Mr Jarus.

what is this one trying to say? OP. Get some meaningful thing to say rather than boring cut and paste.

i think you will, but not sure.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a centrist, non-ideological “rally” has dominated Nigerian democracy since 1999. Having controlled the presidency, National Assembly and most state governorships and legislative houses for 12 years, it often has not acted as if it fully appreciates the weight of its moral and political responsibility! PDP can claim to be the party of national unity (evidently the bonds of power and money are deeper than tribe, tongue and faith!), economic reform and international acceptance. In the South-South, North-Central and South-East, PDP is the default party, and in the North, it is often the party of the mainstream establishment.

Ex-President Obasanjo reformed telecommunications; negotiated Nigeria’s re-acceptance into the international community and restored a sense of nationhood that dangerously tethered on the edge during Abacha’s days of terror. In his second term, Obasanjo assembled a strong economic team leading to the elimination of Nigerian foreign debt; pension reforms; banking consolidation; macroeconomic stability and strong fiscal management. He was less successful on social reforms with education, health and social infrastructure remaining sub-optimal and poverty endemic. Even though he eventually developed the right template for power sector reforms (Electric Power Sector Reform Act 2005), Obasanjo failed in its implementation. Umaru Yar’adua’s tenure recorded only one major achievement-the Niger-Delta amnesty.

The PDP’s greatest failings are the quality of democratic practice, shameful elections conducted in 2003 and 2007 and deepening of corruption in Nigeria. Fortunately for the party, its opponents cannot claim substantive qualitative difference as politicians cross from party to party opportunistically such that sensible voters have now learnt to evaluate candidates for political office on the basis of individual assessments. When President Goodluck Jonathan became substantive president in May 2010, just 10 months ago, I wrote “Memo to Goodluck Jonathan” in which I argued (consistent with opinions expressed by other commentators and newspaper editorials) that given the short time at his disposal, he should concentrate on limited priorities-power, electoral reform and Niger-Delta. On each of these, the president scores an A!


He unveiled an excellent power sector road map designed to place the sector under private sector ownership and management; and executed it leading to expressions of interest from over 331 credible local and international investors. I will personally like Jonathan and Professor Barth Nnaji to conclude the implementation of this road map!!! Especially as his main opponents do not seem to understand what is required to reform the sector. In the short term, power production has reportedly risen to 4,000 MW. Current oil production figures of 2.6million barrels per day are a clear indicator of success of Jonathan’s Niger-Delta policy, (in spite of the activities of a strange “MEND” whose strategic objectives seem to tally with those of the “Northern Political Leaders Forum” (NPLF) rather than the Niger-Delta!!!) Jonathan appointed Professor Attahiru Jega INEC chairman and has conducted fairly credible elections in Anambra (where PDP lost) and Delta States. He provided every funding requested by INEC and freed up the political space, including by restoring ACN candidate Nuhu Ribadu’s AIG rank and permitting him and Nasir El-Rufai return from exile.


I do not know the point at which public opinion (or mass hysteria?) evolved into expecting Jonathan to solve in ten months all the problems of the Nigerian state accumulated over 5o years of independence, a clearly irrational expectation!!! But surprisingly Jonathan has recorded other successes. Education-new national secondary curriculum; highest budgetary allocation for education in 2011 budget proposals; a policy of establishing centres for entrepreneurial development in all federal universities; “Almajiri” education policy; and establishment of nine new federal universities; transportation-revival of rail systems; upgrading the Enugu airport to international status; achieving total radar coverage and US Category 3 status permitting resumption of direct flights; new terminal building at Aminu Kano Airport Kano; labour-new minimum wage and constitutional amendment on National Industrial Court.


Gas and Energy-”gas revolution” policy framework for leveraging gas for industrialisation; $3bn Oando/AGIP gas processing plant; petrochemical plant and several fertiliser plants in conjunction with foreign investors; refineries reportedly working at capacity and absence of fuel queues; roads-multiple ongoing road projects, including East-West and Coastal Road; citizens engagement on Facebook and proactive actions to rescue Nigerians in Egypt and Libya; revival of textile sector through government support; several industrial intervention funds for aviation, SMEs, entertainment, manufacturing, power etc; foreign policy-sensible diplomatic posture leading to strong roles in ECOWAS, UN and bilateral relations. Despite permutations, he united the PDP behind him trouncing the formidable Atiku Abubakar during the party’s primaries. In spite of severe provocations, he successfully navigated minefields during the Yar’adua vacuum and thereafter. He may yet deliver on important legislations-Sovereign Wealth Fund, Freedom of Information, and Petroleum Industry Bills and has already passed AMCON, minimum wage and money laundering/anti-terrorism bills.

Jonathan can claim to be the candidate of national unity, a federation of co-equal nationalities and national integration, freedom and openness, power sector reform, education and critical infrastructure. His major weakness is his party, but in spite of that, I think he is the sensible choice in these elections! I score him 7 for personal qualities; 6 on vision and leadership; 7 for policy platform and manifesto; 6 on economic management; 4 on anti-corruption; 8 for international relations; 8 on national unity and stability; 8 on democracy and institution-building; 7 for human rights, press freedom and open society; 6 for administration and execution and 6 bonus marks for his running-mate totalling 73 out of a possible 110 marks.

Fhemmmy:
There is no need for me to waste my time reading some "made to look good" bed time story . . . . .
GEJ has been in power for a while and nothing has been achived
When he came to power, how much do we have in reserve, now what do we have left.

GEJ broke record by spending how much to celebrate Independence from where most Nigerians are begging britain and america to colonize them all over again.

GEJ had the chance to make something happened in the power sector, but he has failed.

GEJ had the opportunity to appoint better people into power, but he has continued with the "it is your turn to chop, here is power"

I like the dude as a person and have nothing against him, but him as a leader, so far, he has done nothing.

Then scram from here and go do some other things.

He has done nothing, and i keep asking you - what are the things he hasnt done and you cant say.

Power sector - he should manufacture 1 billion megawatts in 10 months? or how has he failed? Build megawatt plants in one week from your teeth?

He had opportunity to install "better" people like who? Let us have your own list of the "better" people and their portfolios

Have you made any serious statement on what he hasnt done?

Fhemmmy:
Was all these necessary?

Where were you when she said all the insults upon me in the other thread without provocation? You probably was inside her stinking female anatomical excavation, burying your tongue in the opening on the wall trying to crack the code, right?

We have been told how GEJ hasnt done anything for the past 12 years.

Fair is fair. What are the things GEJ hasnt been able to do within ten months of being in Aso Rock.

Kobojunkie:
5. The current constitution does not stop people like Abacha from contesting for election, so it makes sense that in order to, he will have to join at least a party and CPC just happens to be it since PDP discriminated against him(something that is illegal by the way)

6. Buhari has never denied he had close ties with the Abacha family but to this date our own government has been unable to link him to Abacha's own attrocities in office

7. There has not now, or ever, been any DIRECT link between the Abacha loot and the man Buhari, or many of the other individuals who served during the Abacha regime.

Unless we are about to also link Soyinka's wealth to IBB's loot since Soyinka also did serve for a period under IBB, I suggest we grow up and focus more of our energy on that which really matters at this point in this election  --- Nigerians deserve better than it has gotten so far and that should be what we all ought to be working towards.

i have always wondered what is inside your brain, its nothing but gaari mixed with orange juice.

did Soyinka ever said IBB didnt steal a dime of Nigerian money?

Kobojunkie. this is for you to ROFMALAO your head again.

Buhari said, Abacha didnt steal a dime of Nigerian money. Anyone who agrees with Buhari on that statement alone can vote for him, but if you know in your heart that that is a big lie, please dont make mistake of voting for him because you will be voting against the truth. We all know Abacha stole Nigerian money, and anyone who says the entire Nigerians are wrong, that person is either a lamp post of has eaten part of the money.

Now - who us Abacha's son in CPC in Kano? He is bank rolling CPC, is this not true? Why must you vote for a lier and a tall man who knows nothing but to lie?

Kobojunkie:
Jonathan has been in office (NO GAPS) since 1999. We are talking here of the top four positions so far --- Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President and then President --- What did he achieve in all that time? Even if not officially, what unofficial achievements can he claim in all 12 years, for his people or even the people of Nigeria? How many

Stop offering up brain-dead excuses for the mediocrity you know -- no need opening a new thread if you are unwilling to use your head in these things. It may be best if you stop asking questions you are not ready for honest responses to

at least he succeeded in frying your butt hole and making you a refugee in America, you kaliscopic and jaundiced hag.

Is that all you can say? sorry for yourself. What did Buhari do as a millitary head of state? Nothing. That was when the Nigerian project got terribly bad- worse than the people he took over from. Dont you get it or you need your brains opened and we pack it full with cyanide?

A year - not enough. Given the time, GEJ will come out smoking, and touch every sector of Nigeria hitherto untouched- positively I mean. This is why you should vote him in and not Bu bu ha ha ri ri.

@ejunkie, when you upload your music/video onto YouTube, you lose all copyright to that property. Go and read the terms and conditions governining the use of YouTube. This song in question had been uploaded long time ago onto Youtube for free download even before campagn started. Why is anybody crying now? These guys and their sponsors are ignorant.

Anybody can download song from YouTube and even reproduce it - that is the law governing the use of YouTube. If you have any issues at all, it should be with the person that uploaded the song onto YouTube.

Are you saying all those Micahel Jackson, 50Cents, Usher and co songs uploaded to youtube are no longer theirs? As in they have lost the copyrights to such songs? Is this your assertion?

Remember the Lagos Metroline? The same one Fashola is now grappling with to build? A better one was already being built all through Lagos State in 1981 - 82 - 83, which would have made it the first high speed Metroline in Africa. Lagos State under Lateef Jakande already had everything planned, the route, the stations, - some of the routes are still all over Lagos till today, un used. Jakande had the focus that this is what will solve the transportation project in Nigeria. Consultants had been paid, work had started.

Bang Buhari came in, and cancelled the entire project. The Lateef Jakande’s $60 million metro rail project for Lagos, which he cancelled immediately after he over-threw the Second Republic, has now accumulated a debt profile of over $3 billion for Lagos State, making the state the most indebted state to Paris Club in the federation. I would remind Buhari that Gbolahan Mudashiru, his Military Administrator for Lagos State, alerted him on the clause in the contract agreement that would yoke the state to this debt, if the contract was cancelled unilaterally, and that he replied Mudashiru, that he didn’t care a damn.

Now - PDP and Jonathan is bent on revitalising the entire railway system in Nigeria- this is already on and the Western line is back in operation, modernised.

Now, consider this scenario - Buhari comes in again and slams his thin, long foot on the project. Did you say its impossible? Wait there. He slams his foot on the IPP projects, slams his foot on the rail projects and many more- and spends four years taking us back to square one.

Is this not a good enough example of why you should never vote Buhari?

^^^ You have already exposed PDP's lies on this thread.who knows maybe seun has been *compromised*,remember he owns nairaland and GEJ's camp knows that.Surely they won't just sit on their behinds without making moves to make nairaland PDP friendly.  

I am dissappointed but i guess nothing should surprise me anymore in Nigeria.On the issue at hand the story is very fake and i am glad you exposed their domain registration details.The bluelab guys are not very smart just like GEJ's camp.They just rushed to make a video and gave the game away when they included GEJ at the end of the video.If they were clamoring for transformation,why did they include GEJ's photo in 3 scenes   .Common bluelab not all Nigerians are d.af.t.You have should just made the video and shown nigeria's past leaders but you should not have shown GEJ because it made the video look like you were sending a message that GEJ should be elected as president,that move alone shows that your story is a big lie.

What worries me is the desperation of GEJ's camp to steal someone else's ideas.If these guys had this video ,they should show us a YOUTUBE video link CLEARLY indicating that the video was posted before Jan 2011 and maybe we will just believe their story.My advise to GEJ ,fire all these campaign strategist and advisers you have around you,i mean even sarah palin is doing better than you at the moment.

I am a specialist in the art of propaganda and mass deception,if you need my services you know where to find me.Mind you i dont come cheap because i use state of the art equipment.I have a team of 7 guys (2 think tank,2 hackers,1 writer ,1 webdesigner and 1 photographer) who are "battle tested".We will formulate fresh and intelligent ideas that will make even the hardcore BB folks love you.Like i said get rid of all this incompetent small boys and hire real professionals who can make the pope turn into an imam.By the way don't fire beaf,he may not be bright but he is loyal and can handle pressure.I will teach him new tricks that will enhance his manipulation skills ,besides we need him to get rid of his split personality issues because it has caused a lot embarrassment for your camp on NL  

Remove that old range rover on your profile picture and let us hear word.

Specialist in propaganda or specialist in 419 from South Africa. You are trying to sound professional but became a mumu in the process. What has the date they registered their website got to do with the point in question? Cant it sink in that they registered the website to fight the Buhari issue? Come on - even toddlers can think better.

mrjingles:
This is a DIALOGUE OF THE DEAF, I am surprised at the level of vitriol expressed, the intolerance displayed by both sides. How can we criticize our politicians when we are no different in our attitudes? NL has become IL- INSULTLAND! both camps- BB and GEJ are absolutists in view and see only black or white.

Disagreeing without insult and invectives is a mark of civility and so far we have failed  do so. In my opinion resorting to insults, name calling and abuse of the type I am seeing on ALL threads related to this elections betrays a lack of capacity for REASONED debate, arguments over IDEAS and PRINCIPLES. We don't all have to agree (indeed we shouldn't all agree, thats dangerous) but we surely can disagree in a more civil and reasonable manner. The irony is that we claim the NLand (sorry ILAND) crowd is hip and enlightened, if this is "enlightenment" then this country is in BIG TROUBLE!

What we have here is a failure to communicate people.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Did you just drink smirnoff ice mixed with baileys and small stout?

Seun merely posted a news item and all you guys did was to turn it into a GEJ/Buhari affair by asking him why he doesnt support Buhari. Is that the import of his thread? Did you read his opening topic?
