@KnowAll and others

What happens if CPC wins and he ends up building a standard road to the east, are you going to boycott the road because it was built by an Hausa man?

odiaero:
Please i need the time the results will be announced today,  anybody?

Later today or early tomorrow.


Bro, i am on YIM and buzzing you. let's talk!!![right][/right]

Run off is the closest now and it's looking so.


NW all for CPC

SE SS ALL for PDP

SW shared between ACN, CPC and PDP

NC shared between CPC and PDP.

Majority votes goes to CPC

Spread goes to PDP.

Even without ACN's help, CPC is still doing well in Lagos and other parts of SW, yes the result for CPC is low in some SW states but she's doing well in Lagos.

@Bluetooth

Stop blaming Buhari, Bakare has a mind of his own, he decided not to sign a post-dated document, he knows the danger in that, HE'S A LAWYER and knows what that means, so blaming Buhari for Bakare's moral stand is childish, ACN wanted to get something that's not cool enough and it's illegal to want to change a candidate when INEC has already closed candidate exchange date.


All the same, we all can see that ACN is not even doing well in the presidential elections and i have also decided to just watch and let things go naturally.

No one betrayed eachother, I am glad CPC didn't drop guard, hence they would have been really hurt, i knew from the ONSET that ACN was not and never ready for the PRESIDENTIAL seat, Ribadu was only being used by Tinubu and it was funny that Ribadu didn't see this.


ACN wanted to be a bride suitors seek her hand in marriage, that's what TINUBU is using ACN to achieve in the federal level, not for the interest of the whole country but for his own and his cohort's interest.

I know PDP cannot win all the SW states

SS goes to PDP
SE goes to PDP
SW is going to be a spread thing for both PDP, CPC and ACN

NC is going to be a spread too, but more states go to CPC

NW all for CPC

@Adamuhassa

 Where is your INEC person announcing these votes from? JEGA promised to announce live on TV, so where are you getting yours from?

soldee:
Ibadan CPC ke Wow!!

I guess you didnt see CPC rally held in Ibadan.

@Adamuhassa
  Your agent must have drank cocoa mixed with manure, stop posting rubbish!!!

My polling unit, too bad people voted based on sentiments (superstition, religious and tribal sentiments)

PU 24/03/01/015 Akowonjo Egbeda Alimosho LGA Lagos

PDP 148, ACN 29, CPC, 19, ACREDITED 210, ANPP 2, NCP 1, INVALID 11.


After voting, i engaged 6 voters and by the time i was through with them, i kept regretting why they didn't know all these on time. ALL of them are from the SS and SE.

I made them know i am more SS than all of them because i am from Edo state where almost all the SS states came out from (old bendel state)

PapaBrowne:
I didn't snap the picture. Because you asked for a pic, I told someone that traveled the road to get me some shots. This is what was snapped. If after seeing this picture, you still have the effontary to doubt me, then for you, it is not about the road, but about your hatred for Jonathan. There's something called narrow vision and what you are doing exemplifies that. Jonathan is fixing roads whether you think Buhari is the right man for the job doesn't take away from the fact that Benin Ore road is smooth again.

Please don't get me started, what you posted is the same road that Yaradua awarded in 2009 before he died, the road was already getting repaired as at january 2010 and i even opened a thread and posted the pictures i took on my way from Benin to Lagos, the pictures i posted and the ones you posted have no difference, they are patched roads and was awarded by Yaradua, execution started since 2009 so please stop making it sound as if it was Jonathan that is fixing the road.

Secondly, if this kinda road is what you call dividend of democracy, then you no nothing about roads, go and check Lasu Iba road in Lagos (state road), then compare it with Lagos Ore road (federal), come here and tell us the difference. this road has been BAD since 1999 until Yaradua started the patching after alot of cries from people all over Nigeria, so please don't give me any useless crap here.

One more thing, the length of the road that was patched is not more down few kilometers, ask those who just traveled it and they'll tell you, the places that got patched are few kilometers away from ore, but before getting to ore, you'd go through the same hell it's been since 1999.

Just tell me the difference between the one you posted and the ones i took and posted myself.

[quote author=X-factoria link=topic=646696.msg8134991#msg8134991 date=1302883243]We will say amen after you and other Buhari apologists answer amen to these prayers:

1. May you be cut short at your prime like Buhari cut short Shagari, Ekwueme and Co

2. May your mouth be shut forever so that you remain voiceless like Buhari shut the press between 1984/1985

3. May you be harrassed with kobokos at bus-stops for the rest of your lives like Buhari harrassed Nigerians during his military regime.

4. May you be treated as a second class citizen in your country while some fellow countrymen are elevated above you because they are Hausa/Fulani like Buhari did in 1984/85 and his PTF years.

5. May you never experience succour in all your journey in life like Buhari cancelled the metro-line project that should have easened traffic in Lagos.

6. May you mourn your brother's untimely death like Buhari caused the parents and families of Bath Owoh and Co to mourn their children's untimely death

7. May you be treated like a criminal in your old age even when you are innocent like Buhari treated Papa Awo, Pa Ajasin, Ekwueme, Bisi Onabanjo etc

WHEN YOU HAVE SAID AMEN TO THESE PRAYERS, THEN REMIND ME TO SAY AMEN TO YOURS.[/quote]Let me correct your false comments

Buhari didn't cut short Shagari's life, nor that of Ekwueme, rather he intervened to save Nigeria and Nigerians from the doom Shagari was leading Nigeria into, Shagari was so incompetent that his ministers were taking him for a ride, his ministers were even stronger than him and corruption strive under his nose, same with Ekwueme, they were just figureheads.

Buhari didn't shut the press mouth, rather it shut the mouth of the paid and rented press who were already corrupted by the criminals from the Shagari regime.

Buhari didn't harass anyone with koboko, rather his workers did that to stubborn he-goats and she-goats in the society who are good at indiscipline and living a disorder lifestyle.

May my life be treated the way Buhari worked on Nigeria during his PTF days, yes yes yes. ( you're obviously bias, in his PTF days, every part of Nigeria enjoyed from the works he did with PTF.)

He canceled the metro line in Lagos because Nigeria was already in recession and the contract was also inflated, if he was not overthrown by IBB, how are we sure he wouldn't have built us a better one?

How did he cause them untimely death? explain to us what these names did to deserve that, can you tell us their crime, let us judge.

How did he treat them like Criminals? he put them in house arrest because most of them watch the shagari led govt plunge us into recession and debts and never did anything, but when the military took over, they suddenly woke up from their slumber and started poking nose into Buhari's govt.

So when you correct these false comments, we'd be happy to say amen or not.

@papabrown

Is this the best you could take? show up the picture facing the road, not sideway man, we want to see at least how lengthy the repaired parts stretch into just like some previous pictures we posted, we don't want sideway, show us the main view.

I pity those who won't even pity themselves, you are in darkness, yet worship those who put you in darkness.

Such a pitiable kinda people Nigerians are.

@Odunnu, i didn't write the article, check the link, it's no smear campaign, rather its fact or can you explain where all our money in ECA went to? look no further, they are all with the governors of various states. Unfortunately for the real Nigerians, PDP governors have access to these money, same with other party that has governors except CPC and they are using these money to bribe the same people they starved and made poor, people that struggle to eat, they are bribing them with money they should have used to change their lives for the better (ANOTHER FORM OF SLAVERY).

CPC remains the only party that has volunteers on NL donating their time and money to help reach out to people. show me any other party that is driven by people's willingness to see the real change and not the false change PDP is preaching.

Tell me, if PDP is preaching change, who then are they trying to change from? a change from PDP to PDP? is that the meaning of change? somebody please define what change means.


Why is he campaigning vigorously if truly he's not desperate?

Emotional Buhari Laments Nigeria’s ‘Bleak Future’

14 Apr 2011
Font Size: a / A

Muhamadu Buhari, CPC Presidential Candidate

By Onyebuchi Ezigbo and Adebiyi Adedapo in Abuja

The presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major-Gen. Muhamadu Buhari (rtd.), Wednesday broke down and wept profusely at the party's campaign rally in Abuja over what he described as the imminent bleak future that awaits Nigeria if nothing was done urgently to avert it.

And in his first major reaction after the outcome of the National Assembly elections, Buhari alleged massive rigging and urged his supporters not to allow a repeat in next Saturday's presidential poll.

“You must maintain your presence during the counting and collating of the votes and the announcement of the results,” he said. “The massive rigging that took place last Saturday is unacceptable and you must not allow a repeat performance next Saturday.”

The rally, which was meant to be the grand finale of Buhari's presidential campaign tour around the country ahead of Saturday's polls, provided an opportunity for him to present the party's manifesto to the public.

However, the former Head of State in the fit of emotion mid-way during his speech broke down and his voice began to tremble as he urged Nigerians to come out and vote for him in order to make the desired change in the country.

He had to pause intermittently to wipe off tears from his eyes while delivering his speech.

Speaking on the state of the nation, Buhari said urgent solution was required to save the country from being a failed state based on the enormity of problems confronting it.

“Our tour across the country, though not the first in my military and political career of service to the nation has further shown me the enormity of the  problems facing our people that need urgent and clinical solution if the country is not to collapse before our very eyes. There are social, infrastructural and environmental ills that have combined to inflict intolerable hardship on our people,” he said.

Buhari described the 12 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government as almost that of an unfulfilled dream, not being able to solve the fundamental problems of Nigeria and Nigerians.

“Any government which cannot solve the fundamental problem for the citizens is a failure, and with all due respect, the PDP in the last 12 years has aggravated the problem,” he said.

The Kastina State-born retired General noted that the 2011 presidential campaign was very significant to him due to the level of support and interest shown by the people which, according to him, was far more than the experience in 2003 and 2007.

"This campaign is the third and the last one for me. Since after it, I will not present myself again for election into the office of the president,” he said.

Highlighting the numerous problems facing the country, Buhari maintained that the Nigerian problem was not peculiar to any geo-political zone in the country or to a religious sect.

“We saw these problems in 2003 and 2007; not only are they still very much around, they are in fact getting worse by the day. From the desert encroachment in Kastina, my home state in the North, the soil erosion in Enugu in the East, and the environmental pollution in Bayelsa, the home state of the president in the Niger Delta to the incursion on the Lagos landscape by the ocean in the South.

"The ecological challenges across the country remain a source of fear for our people.  They are problems that we face daily as individual human beings and they are not the problems of the North or the South, Muslims or Christians, they are Nigeria’s problems,” he added.

Buhari, whose speech attracted ovation from the supporters that thronged the International Conference Centre, said the responsibility of addressing the country's problem is the main responsibility of government.

According to the CPC presidential candidate, any government that could not solve these problems for its citizens is a worthless government.

He assured Nigerians that if the CPC was voted into office in Saturday’s election, it would first tackle problems in five key areas, which included security of life and property, raising the standard of education and investing in human capital development and providing quality services at all levels of education.

He also promised to embark on an aggressive pursuit of youth development and empowerment as well as programmes that would encourage wealth creation; rehabilitating dilapidated physical infrastructure and enhancing the quality and delivery of social services.

For those who think it was Buhari that made the alliance fail, read this :


http://buhari4change.com/?p=2061

The Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), General Muhammadu Buhari has described the allegation making the rounds that he was responsible for the inability of his party and the ACN to forge an alliance ahead of Saturday polls as baseless and unfounded. While stressing that the decisive moment Nigeria enters this weekend requires sobriety on the part of leaders who care about the fate of the suffering people of Nigeria, General Buhari said his response was only to set the record straight about this misinformation.

He explained that he embraced the renewed talks between the two parties in the best interest of millions of Nigerians yearning for change with great enthusiasm. “The talks however ran into difficulties when the ACN insisted the only condition for agreement was that they must produce the Vice President. By the electoral laws, this was virtually impossible before this election. We suggested that they should let us jointly go into the elections and jointly form the government after our victory. But our friends were not ready to take us on our honour and went to the media”.

While regretting the inability to get the parties to agree to harness their electoral fortunes before Saturday, General Buhari said the task at hand is to get rid of the PDP at the polls through voters’ mass turnout and eternal vigilance from accreditation to the final announcement of results. He called on millions of his supporters across Nigeria to troop out en masse on Saturday and vote him in as the President: “This is our finest hour to get the PDP out and we must not miss it. The rigging machine must be smashed on Saturday” he concluded.

THE TEARS OF A PATRIOT: WHY BUHARI WEPT FOR HIS BELOVED COUNTRY
by Kelechi Eme on Thursday, 14 April 2011 at 10:30
My heart was touched when I saw tears stream down the face of the incorruptible leader and presidential candidate of the CPC, General Muhammadu Buhari . I was inwardly pleased that I am campaigning for this wonderful leader, who despite all odds is set to rewrite our political history and consign the retinue of nation wreckers into political oblivion. I have read the effusions of ruling party elements who are casting aspersions on the strength of Gen.Buhari. My answer for them is simple: If their principal and party leaders are endowed with 5% of Buhari’s patriotism and incorruptibility, the country could have been a paradise on earth. Buhari wept for his country and he has reasons to do so. Only clueless leaders celebrate when their country is burning.
WHY DID BUHARI CRY?
1. More than 100million Nigerians have no access to electricity despite over US$20billion investment in that sector. The remaining 50million Nigerians receive low or irregular supplies. http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=44789%3A100m-nigerians-are-without-electricity-says-bpe&catid=1%3Anational&Itemid=559
2. 2.In the past 10months, our public debt has risen by US$6.7billion. Our total debt is now US$32.5billion and still counting. This is in the midst of astronomical rise in the price of crude oil. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2010/11/fgs-public-debt-rises-by-n1trn/
3. Over US$22billion excess crude account and another accrued US$16billion has been shared among the three tiers of government with nothing to show for it. The excess crude account has appreciated recently due to new inflows.
4. The foreign reserve has been depleted from over US$60billion to about US$34billion. Unlimited importation of refined petroleum products to satisfy vested interest is the principal cause of this. Government could have built new refineries if it is incapable of turning around those in existence.
5. Deterioration of our roads and highways after investing billions of dollars in the sector.
6. The increase in poverty rate in the midst of plenty.
I can go on and on my fellow citizens to emphasize why Buhari wept for his beloved country.
I will need to conclude this brief note by urging the teeming supporters of Buhari to troop out en mass and vote for change tomorrow. I commend him and Bakare for rejecting a poisoned chalice from the ACN yesterday. ACN SCUTTLED THE ALLIANC E BY ASKING TUNDE BAKARE TO SIGN A POST DATED RESIGNATION LETTER. I am proud of Buhari/Bakare for throwing out that impudence through the window. I have always believed that the ACN/Ribadu is never serious about winning the presidential election. I wrote earlier on Ribadu and ACN that “He lacks the political backbone to take difficult decisions because of his reliance on Asiwaju Bola Tinubu structures.I SEE HIM MORE LIKE A STALEMATE CANDIDATE.My conclusion on him is that he is the least among the front line candidates.” (26/01/11) http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001241632546&ref=notif&notif_t=friend_confirmed#!/note.php?note_id=178917505478314
I further wrote after the National Assembly elections that “the ACN has a wonderful opportunity to pay back the northern progressives for voting MKO in 1993 and backing Falae in 1999 when the AD was the junior partner in the alliance. This will convince all and sundry that the progressiveness taunted by South West politicians is not a synonym for Afenifere hegemony.” (11/04/11) http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=195606990476032
I urge you to draw your conclusions on the failed alliance.
What the Buhari/Bakare ticket has taught Nigerians is that we still have men of integrity in our land. It has shown that while there are self-serving politicians, men of integrity still abound. While there are self-serving human rights advocates, the likes of Olisa Agbakoba can still be counted upon. While we have a compromised media landscape, the likes of Femi Adesina and Sonala Olumhense are still with us. I must also emphasize that we still have noble men like Charles Soludo in PDP.
GET READY AND VOTE FOR BUHARI/BAKARE ON SATURDAY TO LIBERATE OUR COUNTRY. GOD BLESS OUR HOMELAND NIGERIA.
VOTE CPC.

The worst misery life can gift any human being with is to have eyes, yet can't see with them.

When it's GEJ, all corruption issues are downplayed.

I pity Nigerians, it's going to be free for all once GEJ wins.

Una still dey see small chop abi? this time around, Nigerians are going to look like beggars.

I am also waiting for the trains, maybe they work once in a month?

@PapaBrowne

 WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PICTURES OR IS THERE TRAFFIC ON THE ROAD TO WHERE THE PICTURES ARE?

Babatunde Akano: Why the General wept!

My friends: violation is a terrible crime against women. Some are lured. Some are drugged. Some are forced. It is more painful when it is done repeatedly. The stories of sex slaves in the Congo and Liberia make us ask "Are these men or animals?". OBJ wrote a book the "Animal called Man". Some are so wasted that they wake up in the morning they bath, eat and get violated, the afternoon the show continues. Some even lost count of the men who have used them. Some got used to the life and were never the same. Some died and others have completely lost their minds. It is more terrible when the woman is so brainwashed into thinking that violation is the only way to have sex. A true story is told of a woman at mental home who believed that her husband must beat her black and blue before they can have sex.

  This is the Nigerian story. Some leaders lured us. Some drugged us. Some forced us. They do it again and again. GEJ is luring us with TV ADs which cost millions of Naira. Nollywood big stars endorse him. These politicians not only know what to do to get girls into beds in cozy hotels in Abuja but they know how to lure a nation into its grave. They give N200 to a person worth at least N200,000 to secure his vote and they pocket the change. We were so drugged that our President was so sick last year and the whole country was kept in bondage. We seemed to forget that the US President gets treated in US. The Saudi leader gets treated in his country. We woke up and took to the streets. We took the rapists by the throat. But the man we fought for was not the victim but was also part of the plan. They use religion and ethnicity to divide us - yet nobody talks about Fashola's religion.

    Then comes Buhari - he had never had sex with her. He could not think of hurting her after Shagari left her wasted and in debt. His crime was that he was not romantic and was too 'tough'. IBB comes along with his gap-tooth smiles and she falls for him. I don't think any leader wasted her like IBB. He had his way because he constantly drugged her with his 'maradona' charisma. 1993 ended that romance because she refused to take all tablets but one - the interim government.

    Now she has 4 major suitors - and she is confused. Her clothes are bloodied from the atrocities of the previous governments. GEJ wants her because they have actually dated for about 11 months. Yet he wants to please everybody. He says he would bring people whom bombed to justice yet no one is in prison. His children were not bombed those attacks nor was his property affected. People say he is sincere but it is certain his friends and supporters want what is between her thighs. Does he truly love her? Would he place her above personal interest? I doubt it very much.
This bible verse aptly describes the Nigerian nation. "Don't be surprised if the poor of your country are abused, and injustice takes the place of justice. After all, the lower officials must do what the higher ones order them to do." (Ecclesiastes 5:8 CEV).


    Ribadu is a young guy. Actually they are almost age mates. She just a month older. He has shown some resolve in times past but his inexperience and alliance with certain people may reduce her chances of reaching her potential. The motives of this man called Tinubu are highly questionable. Shekaru is an orator and intelligent just like IBB. Does he have the moral courage to do the right thing. Does he have another agenda? Nigeria needs someone she can trust not someone she can admire. Many a lady have made this mistake over and over again.

      Then comes Buhari. She says ALL men are the same. They just want my honeypot. They could take it by force or by 'fake'. Buhari would Islamize me - yet his driver and cook are Christians. He is not romantic or charismatic. But he does not want to hurt her. He also wants to ensure she is confident and knowledgeable - bold to confront any despoiler and demand her rights. Like Fashola he wants to raise the standards of governance. But she lies confused in a pool of her blood. Too dizzy to think straight. Too drunk to stand what is rightfully hers. Too scared to make a choice. Raise up O mighty One. You have to choose between a 4-year mistake and 4-year miracle. Buhari is not perfect but he wants to show you some love. He needs you to help him help you.

    The General weeps because you are already carried away with TV Ads and a N1000. The General weeps because you think the enemy is your friend and your friend is your enemy. The General weeps because you are about be subject to a 4-year experiment- you may not come out the lab alive. The General weeps because this maybe your last chance to erase your past. The General weeps because the vultures are hovering over you. The General weeps because your potential is greater than your past. The General weeps because he has put together a team of Nigerian specialists would energize her and make her reach her goals.

    Wipe your tears, General. We will go to the polling booth on Saturday 16th. It may be far but we will travel there. It may be long but we will wait. We will do our best and leave the rest to God. We will buy our future with our votes but we will never allow our votes to be bought. We persuade men to open their eyes. We will see a new Nigeria. A New Hope. A New Beginning. God bless Nigeria!

Nice one Medjai
Been off sports for a while now, my country needs my attention, a stable country can only have stable sporting events.

Mr Honeric, I will probably be able to paste pictures for you later 2day!! So just chill. I said I passed the road and it has practically been fixed.  Fixing it was not what impressed me. It is the quality of fixing that impressed me.

It's amazing that you would be sad that a road that had been a death trap is finally being fixed. Thats a pathetic way to live. Lets forget the fact that its Jonathan that fixed it and lets just celebrate the fact that people would stop dying aimlessly on the road. Lets Celebrate progress, no matter where it comes from!!

Where in my post did i say i was sad the road is being patched? i only said you should post pictures if truly the road you passed through is better than what i posted, mind you, the road patching contract WAS AWARD DURING YARADUA'S time and they already started work then (late 2009/early 2010). i drove through the road enroute Benin and only just few kilometers of the whole dead trap was patched up. if I'm lying, post pictures of flash points we all know. especially ore, okada, sagamu side and other dead traps, lets see how a FIXED road PDP style looks like after 12 years.

^^^

Are you even in Nigeria?
Do you have a voters card?

Fixed??

Is this the kind of highway Nigeria and Nigerians deserves from PDP after 12 years in office?


this patched paths is just few seconds drive, don't let them deceive you.

I posted this before, the OP must have passed this part of the road, came here shouting the road has been fixed, infact this was in January 2010 (Yaradua's era), if truly the roads have been fixed, why didn't a person that SUPPORTS PDP AND GEJ like hell stop by to take just ONE picture?

JUST ONE PICTURE? he said he couldn't because it was too sudden, that means the part he drove through must have been a patched part and not a re-constructed road/highway.

LIAR!!!

@Paddy_lo

You didn't answer most of my questions, what happened to the money GEJ met after Yaradua's demise, and why should we have $7b in the ECA when he met $30b there? yes i am not a financial guru, but knows numbers. and why is the reserve also going down from 42.5b to 39.5 and even about 39b now? if we truly want to follow it, what we have earned so far as excess should be more than what gej said we currently have in the ECA no matter how you try to paint it.

when it comes to handling money, GEJ is worse at it and corruption is growing under his nose.

@Recoome and Paddy_lo

  Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves, because i mistakenly said our reserves, does that mean i was lying or didn't know what i was saying?

Our reserve had $42.5Billion when Yaradua was the president, not it's about $39Billion even at oil price at $111 per barrel, our budgeted price is $65, now we have it at $111, instead of the reserves to grow, its reducing.

As for the ECA, we had $30Billion when Yaradua was there, now we have less than $320 million, why do we have $300 million in it instead of the account growing? what happened to all the amount that was redrawn from these two accounts?

Where did $29.7billion from the ECA go to? where did $3 billion from the Reserve go to?
what is happening to the extras we have been making since price of oil soared high?

  we make about 2 million barrel of oil per day, we budgeted $65, now price is at $111, that's an extra of $46

$46 x 2 million should be how much? that's a whopping $92,000, 000 daily.

If you think i am wrong, please correct with facts, where is our daily $92,000,000 going to? who's in charge of this extra pay we are making that's not in the budget?

Hmmm Tinubu? well
