Sky Blue:
Sorry but your insistence on that dust bin issue makes me take you less seriously to be honest and is a tad off putting. Do you actually know what the local content bill is actually about? Because it seems like you have absolutely no clue, and instead of informing yourself on the first instance after I mentioned it, you are still talking about dust bins. What has importing dustbins got to do with the local content bill? Your other points while not invalid, are running around in circles because I have already previously addressed them in earlier posts, so just scroll up. I never said Buhari should be feared for wanting to practise democracy or whatever assumption you are trying to project, I simply highlighted that since it is a democracy, it might not be easy for him to get things done to the degree a lot of people expect. I have used examples of how even passing a bill is not so easy, your OBJ example even serves my purpose in that line of thought. . . I don't really like repeating myself, it is all there in previous posts.

You can sat whatever you want to say about the dustbin issue, but it still remains valid, so because the dustbin contract is not related to oil and gas, then it should be overlooked? if you want to sign into law the bill that favors the indigenous ventures in the oil and gas industry to their foreign counterparts is also similar to allowing local dustbin makers survive by patronizing and giving them a first class attention.

Hope you're able to get my point now or do you still need more details?


As for thinking Buhari might not be able to have his way with the legislators, look, who between Buhari/GEJ is likely to have his way with the legislators? is it Buhari we know with the help of the progressives in the legislative arms can stick to what they believe in or GEJ who hardly takes decision unless he has met with his PDP mentors? (OBJ, ATIKU, ANENIH e.t.c)?

If you think Buhari won't have his way, then GEJ should be forgotten because he's going to be tossed around by the same legislators.

All in all, vote for who you think is going to make your family in Nigeria happy and i will vote for the men i believe are likely to make me and my family here in Nigeria happy.

If you search the forum well, you'd see a very comprehensive thread that has alot of bini stuffs on it.

Something you don't know about Buhari


Muhammed Kabir
A Rejoinder to “Buhari, Atiku, Go and Rest” written by Naiwu Osahun: a response from MK Hassan

Dear Naiwu Osahun,
I read your article with the above caption and was compelled to write a rejoinder because of the inaccuracies it conveyed. The article only succeeded in exposing your ignorance of what has been happening in Nigeria, not surprising to me because you have stayed too long in the West and have no clue or is it due to some deliberate intellectual mischief? It may be better if you start writing on Memphis Tennessee, the civil right movements and how Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis since you know that place very well to have been given the city’s key before you get enlightened on local politics back home in Nigeria and start writing. I am really disappointed with that article and other ones you have previously wrote. It is obvious that your article wanted to attack the personality of Buhari but it ended up with bunch of contradictions and lack of scholarship. I cannot defend both Atiku and Jonathan because they all have case files before EFCC. While Atiku has one with respect to PTDF, Mr. Jonathan’s wife has a case file involving 12 million dollars when he was Governor of Bayelsa and she was arrested by EFCC then. Jonathan became Vice President and now Acting President and the case has since died silently. However, on Buhari I need to put the records straight point by point, I hope my rejoinder will be given the same publicity as your initial write up.

1. Mitary Training: Buhari does not fit in to the profile you wrote. In case you don't know Buhari graduated as a military officer (lieutenant) in Aldeshot UK. He went to the US National War College Carlisle in Pennsylvania from 1980 -1981. That is where the most respected officers of the US army such as Collin Powell attended to become generals. He was at the Defense College of India as well. By all military standards, his training is superb and the best any general can get in the world. Buhari was not some idle sitting General on baboon tree as you stated in your write up when he was in the army. In 1982-1983 when Chad took over our land with more than 19 villages like what the Cameroonians did with the support of France in the case of Bakassi, he then Brigadier Buhari led a successful operation as the GOC to push back Chad and reclaim our territory. If it was Buhari, there is no way as President, he will hand over Bakassi to Cameroon, that is true patriotism. I am not Buhari's relative and I have never met him in my life. But I have taken the pain to know a lot about him by reading facts because I believe among all the possible candidates vying for the Presidency now that may end up ruling Nigeria, he is the best qualified. Someone challenged me on the comments section of Sahara Reporters that I must compare General David Petreaus (The General Commanding Central Command in the Middle East of the US Forces) and Buhari; that is a tall order. They did not serve in the same army but still you have to give it to Buhari. Buhari as Lieutenant after graduating from the UK royal army fought in the Congo in 1964-65 as part of the first mission forces to stabilize the country during it first civil war and won the Congo Medal. He is comparable to Petreaus of US in terms of war command and strategy training. Petreaus Attended the US War College, Pennsylvania to become a General, Buhari went to the same college from 1980-1981 to be General even though Petreaus did, Buhari is his senior even by the US army rankings. Buhari fought a dangerous battle in Congo as a Lieutenant and won the Congo medal, Petreaus did not. Buhari fought in the Biafra civil war as a captain; Petreaus has not fought in a civil war. Buhari commanded an army division to defend his country against Chad, Petreaus commanded an army division to destroy a country Iraq. Now anyone who wants to can compare them.

2. Buhari's family background: Buhari came from a poor family in Daura. He is not the typical northern prince that you may think of. He lost his father Mallam Dauda, when he was young and his uncle took care of him and sent him to school and after secondary school, he joined the army and went to train in the UK royal army. You should have found out about all that before you write your article. It is because of his kind of background and the suffering he went through that he has no sympathy for corruption and the northern traditional ruling families fear him. Quite unlike Atiku, IBB, Yar'adua, Abdussalam etc, he has no traditional title, he refused to accept one from any emir even though they want to give him one even today. The masses in the north have decided to give him one. They call him Baba Buhari Shugaban talakawan Nigeria (Meaning our father, Buhari the leader of the masses).

3. Buhari, the so called Jihadist: Buhari was the first person to fight religious extremism in Nigeria. Anyone can go and find out about a group called Maitatsine in the north that took up arms in 1984 in the name of Jihad in States like Kano, Maiduguri, Bauchi and Adamawa and what he did to them. You also need to read about his refusal to allow every tom manliness and harry to become a pastor or imam in Nigeria like what is happening today. That is why we have so many religious crisis in the country because illiterates are parading themselves as Mallams and Pastors and fomenting trouble in the land. In respect of Nuhu Ribadu, Nasiru El Rufai, two of the most recent distinguished northerners anyone likes to mention, I would like to let you know that they have learnt a lot from Buhari as well. Nuhu got the opportunity to fight his first battle of corruption when he was doing his NYSC in 1984 when Buhari was investigating the 1984 thieves, Nuhu served in the Ministry of Trade where the import license scams took place and it is there, he told us on one occasion while delivering a lecture, that he got the inspiration to fight corruption and decided to join the police after his NYSC. In the case of El-Rufai, he also worked as consultant for PTF when Buhari was its chairman. Not surprising that they are hard working and distinguished. However, just before the 2003 elections, mischief makers like Atiku went to the south to misinformed people that he is a jihadist and support Sharia. If that is the case distinguished southerners both Christians and Muslims alike will not have supported him and I am talking of people like late Gani Fawehimi, who invited him to his house and raised Buhari’s hand before the media for all of us to see. People like Olu Falae, Tam David West and the like who still say a lot of good things about him and are supporting him. The truth must be told this time.

4. IBB's Coup against Buhari: Buhari refused to accept IMF loans and refused to devalue the naira then and I am glad you acknowledge that in your article and because of that he had to go because the west didn't like him so they used IBB to bring SAP that scuttle our econo y and put us in 18 billion dollars debt even though we sell oil. Meanwhile, he has retired General Ali Gusau in 1984 because of disagreements regarding work and defense contracts as reported along with Babangida, the duo planned the coup and when they succeeded, Babangida recalled Ali Gusau back to the army and made him his chief of Defense Intelligence. By the way, I would like you to know that Buhari sent Gusau on training to UK and US in intelligence and security while he was head of state. He made IBB his chief of army state but IBB is nothing short of a traitor to Buhari just the same way Dimka and Bisalla were traitors to Murtala in the 1976 coup.

5. Buhari planned a coup because of missing oil billions. He planned a coup against people like Umaru Dikko the then transport minister who were giving themselves import licenses for rice and skimming Nigerians and the like of Dr Tahir, the communication minister, who were importing horses and their food from Argentina. I met late Dr. Tahir who became Buhari's supporter in 2003, when I visited him in 2002 he told us that what Buhari did then was right, because they have lost their direction as a government. Dr. Tahir was a man of high intellectual capacity with a Phd in sociology from Cambridge, he spoke the truth. What Buhari did as a petroleum minister was the successful supervision and construction of three of the nation refineries, over 4000km of pipelines and 28 depots that we have failed to maintain today and so we import oil. How much has been stolen in just the turnaround maintenance of the refineries between Obasanjo and Abdussalam and still the refineries are not working? Over 4 billion dollars from 1999 to date. Infact before Obasanjo left, he auctioned one of refineries to Dangote at about 250 million dollars, something worth more than 3 billion dollars, Yar’adua reversed that sale.

6.Buhari and PTF: It is obvious you have not been home for long and so you are writing on what you don't know. On PTF, Buhari rehabilitated universities in Nigeria, provided textbooks for libraries and I am a witnessed, I used them for my final year project with PTF written on them. He supplied buses to the universities that time universities have no means of transportation. He built lecture theaters that I have studied in. We were happy to drive in the PTF buses and go for excursions to Kainji and Ajaokuta. What happened in PTF was after Obj won election even before he was sworn in and seeing the PTF records, he said he is going to ban PTF because it has no constitutional backing in a democracy. Because constitutionally all revenues must go to federation account and allocated by RMFAC. So when he was sworn in, he appointed a sole administrator, Dr. Haruna Adamu to investigate PTF hoping he will find something against Buhari. But it ended with Haruna going to jail for stealing $100 million dollars and it is in the records and newspapers in case you don’t know.

7.Missing PTF Money: . Let me tell you if that money you are talking about was missing in PTF, in both 2003 and 2007 elections, PDP and OBJ will have used that against Buhari just like he did to Atiku and PTDF and how he intimidated IBB on Glo by arresting his son, but OBJ cannot because he knows the man is so clean and that is who we need today in Nigeria. You can accuse Buhari for high handedness when he initially came in to power in 1983 by sending the politicians to Kiri Kiri with long life sentences but not corruption. Looking back to the 1980's , I can say Buhari was even compassionate. During that time, in Ghana and Congo and several African countries where they were coups, people like Rawlings in Ghana executed the government officials by firing squad or hanging but Buhari just jailed them. Some Nigerians are now even clamoring for a revolution or the Rawlings style.

8.Buhari and Democracy: Since the time he joined partisan politics, Buhari has conducted himself in the most admirable manner to anyone who knows what African politics is. Whenever, he lost, he went to court to follow due process. He has been in court for more than 20 months in one occasion making his case. He refused to mobilize his follows to rise against the Government or become unruly. If you don’t know he has such a large following but even if you think he doesn’t look at what is happening in other African countries. Raila Odinga and Kenya, they almost went to civil war because of elections. Morgan Tseveingire and Zimbwebwe, the country is now in shambles.

9. Let me be categorically clear, I am not saying Buhari is Saint Buhari and has no faults. I have my own different opinions on him as well but given our circumstances and the practical reality we are facing the main options we have in 2011 are BUHARI, ATIKU, BABANGIDA, GOODLUCK, the rest of the candidates are not yet out and I have not seen someone with their political heavy weight, we may be left with only the option of electing Buhari if we want to move this country forward. In a real political fight, Jonathan may not survive the intrigues. I don’t have anything against him but I am waiting for him to prove himself on electricity. I am even helping him because I have given his government a plan on how to fix it in the next one year, I hope he can deliver on the electricity promise to prove to us that he can lead and solve our problems.

Finally, if you think my points are not correct or I am being dishonest, I think we have no other option than I challenge you to a debate on your write up perhaps with Sahara reporters and informed journalists and historians as panelists. You are in Tennessee, I am in Pennsylvania, so we can meet in the neutral middle state of Ohio in a city like Cincinnati for the debate. I can pay for your travel fare from Memphis if you want me to. After the debate on Buhari with facts and defending the trash you wrote, then we can put it in on Youtube and Sahara reporters that way Nigerian’s will be more enlightened. I am not intimidated by the bunch of acronyms and titles after your name. It is dangerous to be writing silly stories and misleading people, it is not helping the situation in Nigeria.

Thank you, bro, you need to open a new thread with this article, don't hide it here, if it's possible, you need to find a way into any of the major Nigerian newspapers with this article. it's very interesting and a challenge is even there for anyone who thinks otherwise lol.

Beaf, can you challenge the writer of this article?

@ please be precise

Who's the devil you know and who's the devil you don't know?

@PapaBrowne

I repeat, it was not GEJ that stabilize fuel price, it's been N65 during Yaradua's tenure, the reason we had the artificial fuel scarcity around late 2009 and early 2010 was because of the Yaradua's health saga, it was because of anything like fuel price hike.

Remember it was when yaradua granted amnesty that production started picking up and things became normal, don't give an honor of a man to another man.

@Afam
 Who's the angel and who's the devil?

Sky Blue:
Please stop grasping at straws to make a point, it makes you appear a bit disingenuous and it is a tad off putting, as if admitting that something (however little you deem it) has been achieved in 11months is some admission to defeat. Local content bill is local content bill so where does dust bin enter? Go and get yourself a copy of the proposal and discover why it is important for Nigeria. I like it because if passed it would protect the local economy and stimulate growth in various industries (like insurance) and hence jobs. I am sorry power supply has not improved in your area but that is an issue people from different parts of the country mention to me (without being asked I might add) with regards to improvement. Fuel scarcity reduction starting in Yar Adua's era? Quite possible but I doubt it since again, people from all over the place mentioning this only started last year. The point I am making is that the issues raised are what ordinary people on the street will tell you. They don't have to be told to believe Nigeria's economy is growing and just take it to be the case, etc. They can see changes (how ever little) that are tangible.

With regards to Buhari, you could sell him to me as the better of the options (at least the major ones) we have, but the best man we need right now? Try someone else please. It is easy to brandish Buhari because he has not been tried in a civilian and democratic governance. It is comparatively easy to get things done in a military dictatorship as opposed to a civilian democracy for many reasons (the major of which is less bureaucracy). All he needed to do was pass a decree or something to that effect. What attracts me to Buhari is he seems principled and disciplined. I think you might need to do a bit more research though. I brought up the Ibori comparison because am allegedly corrupt and highly placed public officer was allowed to "escape" the country on Buhari's watch while others were hounded (some thrown in jail some under comfortable house arrest), which paints a picture of favouritism/partiality and bias of some sort. Yes you can't compare the ammount of corruption that was allowed to happen to what occurs in our democracy today, I agree. I don't expect Jonathan to staep on any toes now though sicne he is after all trying to get elected again and his focus is on that. Does that make it right? Perhaps not, but it is the case.

Not grasping at straw, a president who wants to sign in a local content bill should not be the same person approving the importation of dustbins that run into millions of naira. how's this a grasping at straw point?

Yes, fuel scarcity reduction started via YARADUA'S ERA, the last one we had was early 2010 and yaradua was the "president' then ans was not because of increase in price, so the glory shouldn't be given to GEJ.

Nah, i prefer a disciplined Buhari to a free for all GEJ, who am these politicians who claim to be democratic is truly democratic? Buhari is likely not going to be worse than OBJ when it comes to using decree in a democratic settings. he's been around for a while now, he knows how democracy works, OBJ never really PRACTICED democracy before becoming a civilian president just after changing his Khaki. So why should Buhari be feared because of this?

Nope, i won't compare Ibori's case with that of Buhari, Please answer this, is Aonadoaka, that other senate murderer not in Nigeria? has GEJ done anything to them? you only run if you know you'd be punished for your offenses, they all know GEJ won't do nada to them, hence their presence in Nigeria.

Ibori is running from Nigeria, not because of GEJ, but because he has too MANY enemies home and abroad.

Buhari didn't favor anyone, just look at the people he associates himself with presently, then tell me who you think is corrupt among them that he's likely to favor from persecuting if he comes into power, is there any? please name them.


Bro, let's be sincere, GEJ can't FIGHT corruption, his fingers are too mixed up with corruption oil to dare it, he can't dare that.

Beaf:
Why you think you can convince anyone by telling bare faced lies is beyond me. Its not like we suddenly moved into Nigeria after Yar Adua died, people actually experienced the horrible episodes of fuel scarcity right up till Yar Adua died. So who are you trying to fool if not yourself only? Guy, such behaviour is extremely irritating, because people know what they experienced and when,

GEJ came into power 9 months ago on 6 May 2010, check the date of the news story below (just in case you haven't been to Naija in the past many years).
Telling lies doesn't get you anywhere.

Before you call me a liar, ANSWER JUST ONE QUESTION:

WHEN WAS THE LAST FUEL SCARCITY PERIOD? (the last time we had fuel scarcity in Nigeria) just answer that and we'd find out who's lying and who's not.

Thank you. (BTW, YOU ARE RUNNING FROM THE LOADS OF QUESTIONS I ASKED YOU, BUT YOU'RE HERE TO JUMP ON ONE MERE POINT WHICH I'M ABOUT TO PROVE YOU WRONG ON).

Anaegboka:
Watching Mrs Patience Jonathan receive a chieftancy title have just made me to decide that my vote will go to Buhari/ Bakare. These people should realise that Nigeria has ougrown a stage where people in authority will like Nero play the fiddle while Rome burns.

I wonder what she has done that merited her the glorified title.

Rubbish.

When she was in Bayelsa, what did she actually do as the 1st lady of bayelsa? i need to hear from the pro-jona jona.

^^^^

Thank you my brother,

Nigerians here in Nigeria are mostly confused, most of them don't know what they want, hence they can't really pin-point and scrutinize their leaders.

If you ask many Nigerians why they want GEJ, none would be able to tell you 3 GOOD reasons without sentiments clouding their statements.

afam4eva:
Beaf, you need to grow up. Are u this daft. How can you be calling people names simply because they asked you to tell them what makes people like you and other goodluck apologist like GEJ so much that you can sacrifice your manhood to make sure he wins the election. People deserve the right to know OK?

He has never answered any question in his life before, the day he does, he's going to switch off for 1 year.
bot lasan lasan.

Sky Blue:
I don't hold brief for Jonathan and he has been doing more running for election than he has been governing for the period of time he has been there. The things that. Things I think of with regards to Jonathan include the local content bill which shows good economic understanding and would make an impact on the Nigerian economy (just think of the trickle down effect) as well as stimulate growth of secondary industries whenever it is passed by th legislature. [/b]His handling of the Jos crises was/is not stellar. [b]There has been stronger strides made with regards to the privatisation of the power sector in a more wholsesome sence (transmission and distribution as well as generation). There has been improvement in distribution which is probably why there has been some improvement in how power supply in a good number of areas (from sources in these areas) even though a lot needs to be done about generation which is dire at the moment. I prefer his ministerial make up to that of Yar Adua, more technocrats in the right position. Say what you want about Aganga, at least it is easy to understand why he was chosen for minister of finance - his credentials. You might mock and jest about peaple who raise the whole issue of significant improvement in fuel supply, but you now wonder if it is so trivial why other administrations didn't get it sorted. Overall when people talk about improvement in power supply in their area and no fuel scarcity, it is real people feeling some benefit who mention these things, and that is good advertisement for whoever is running as opposed to people being told to believe there lives might be improving in some way even though they can't see it in a more tangible sense.

Those are the things I can think of off the top of my head. On the down side I am not so confident in his handling of corruption, I am tempted to believe he is just focused on getting into power, that he is not trying to burn any bridges that would cause that to happen, hence he would step things up a notch. Not defending it, just saying it is understandable (whether you thinkit immoral or not). Do the achievements so far warrant another four years? For my ideal candidate, no it would not and I would have rather he focused on getting Nigeria sorted to the best of his ability with the little time he had. Would other candidates definately do better? I am not so sure about that either, and that is the point, it is about making a choice. So just to pre-empt any unnecessary Buhari write ups, I was answering your question because it was so specific to Jonathan (perhaps you made an assumption I have automatically chosen Jonathan). Buhari has his attractions but I would like you to consider a few things. This is not a military dictatorship, so it might not be as easy as you think for Buhari to get things done to the degree or speed he would rather have them done when he would have to be battling with the legislature. We need someone a bit more pragmatic and compromising (like Obama has had to learn to be) to get things done. You might also want to do a little more research with regards to his anti corruption crusade. Yes there was comparatively drastic reduction in government corruption during Buhari's regime but though commendable, it wasn't as perfect as you might think. Shagari was put under house arrest while another corrupt high profile public officer after flying back into the country (not knowing a coup had occured) escaped the country and strong grip of Buhari (the same way Ibori "escaped" Nigeria).

At the end of the day though, whoever gets into government would have to be able to compromise and be more pragmatic to at least get something done because we are running a democracy. Personally speaking, for me it is between Jonathan and Buhari, and it is solely as a result of picking the best out of the options given. I would like to vote for Utomi, but does the guy even campaign as vigrously, and hence can he win? Utomi would be a candidate more in tandem with my thoughts but unfortunately (and perhaps wrongly so), I don't see him as a main contender.

This response go for the 1st bolded :

Do you mean the same local content bill in which GEJ approved millions of naira for the importation of dust-bin from the UK or the wearing of traditional clothes to the office by all civil servants on Fridays? which local content bill are you really talking about? I mean where are the effect of the local content bill ?(visible or in process)

To the second bolded:

Actually power has reduced, it was getting better when Yara dua was alive, but since he died and since GEJ took over, availability of power has reduced, i am talking about my own part of the country, before now, we use to have 12-20hrs daily, but now it's between 6 and 10hrs and mostly when I'm either sleeping or not at home to enjoy it.

He promised us 6,000MW by December 2010, instead we got less than what we had before (except on the pages of newspapers), we all witnessed when PHCN had to shut down power in the whole of Nigeria because they couldn't manage the situation of over-load. (maybe they were trying to switch everyone on at the same time without adding/increasing the capacity), so one of his major promises FAILED us woefully.



As for the fuel issue, yes there hasn't been any fuel scarcity since he took over (started when Yaradua was there though), so i'm still going to be watching and yes it's looking good in that aspect.


As for who's among the candidates is going to do better, i know of 1 and i know he's capable. I wait until you ask me why i think the person's capable, then i'd put it through to you.

Being a former Military HOS does not mean Buhari'll lack Democratic approach to governance, either does it mean He can't or haven't learnt how government works in a democratic settings.

The man does not work alone, even when he was the HOS then, he didn't work alone, he carried his assistant along and most of what were done in his time were mostly carried out by his assistant (he surely has a team-spirit style of governance) and i believe he can't be worse than OBJ.

I can list more reasons why i believe a Buhari is what's needed now in this period we are in Nigeria, too many corrupt people around, just too many, GEJ can't cope with them, he can't handle them, we have all seen it, he just can't (at least he's yet to successfully indict any known corrupt man working freely), even the murderer of a senator is still walking around a free man.

Ibori left Nigeria on his own, not because he was afraid of GEJ nor Yara dua, if he comes back to the country today, GEJ won't do jack to him.

Those criminals that ran out of Nigeria during Buhari's time knew what was in for them, hence their take off, those that couldn't run (due to badluck) had stories to tell about what happened to them.

I might not be able to answer your question to the degree you would like because for me it is not about picking Jonathan or Buhari or Ribadu, etc, but about making a choice between the options given, so you might want to drop any assumptions you might have to that effect (because you don't even know my choice). It is a personal question but I don't mind elaborating if you like.

Okay, because i don't want to assume, can you please answer my question to your best available knowledge?

I can list and explain with past, present records as to why i think my own choice is going to be better than GEJ if chosen

^^^^

 One question for you, during the 11 months of GEJ in power, with the way he has managed Nigeria, do you think he can be trusted with 4 years and why?

Beaf:
==Buys pop corn and takes ring-side seat to watch as anti-GEJ clowns scramble their own brains. . . "What has he done?!" "No, he's a darling, its just that he's in PDP"

Comedy!

Jona jona never pay you? mr critic, mr slander lol, mr bot

semid4lyfe:
Guy keep quiet or talk better jare You think se na joking matter be this? Nor let me transfer my anger and vexation to you o

But on a serious note, the NFF nor try at all o. . .can you imagine this:

boi, i go wooz ya face oo, u beta know where u go transfer ur anger to before u go land for crocodile mouth.

Me don comot mind for Nigerian football since Mid 2010, so whatever they like, let dem do, eno concern me

THIS IS WHY I CAN'T VOTE FOR GEJ, HE CANNOT TELL ME HE DOES NOT KNOW THESE CRIMINALS, a criminal cannot persecute another criminal.


PERIOD!

Beaf:
One day Nigerians will make God resign o! Imagine someone going into politics in a secular state and announcing that God told him to do so. The man cannot even put a couple of words to explain why he is running, instead he panders to people religious fears.
There is just so much mediocrity from opposition parties that they might as well give up contesting the elections. Its just ridiculous.

There's no peace for the wicked, you keep running from me ever since i asked you questions on GEJ, may you keep running ooo

afam4eva:
If you've followed my post on nairaland you'll see that i've been one of those calling for GEJ's head. I won't come here and tell you that he's done something that will warrant me to vote for him. Neither has he done something that will make me not to vote for him. Like i said he may not be the God sent that his apologist have been shouting about but he's new on the scene, so let's make him a substancial president and see what he has to offer. Afterall OBJ was there for 8 years and we did nothing about it. How worse can a Nigeria president get.

Why should i be ready to waste another 4 years of my life with a "president" who never dreamt of becoming a president in the first place? his story is like of a man who stumbled upon millions of naira that he never had plans for.

There are series of reasons why i won't vote for him, you can decide to play blind to them, but i suffer and bear the brunt of his mistakes and i am not ready to waste another 4 years suffering.

Because of his weak grip on managing crisis in Jos, onions has gone up that i have not eaten onions for more than 2 months now.

Because of his lack of economic no how, our ECA is almost empty and he thinks the ECA is his personal kolo.

Because of his connection with corrupt elites, he cannot confidently challenge looters and murderers like Atiku and that killer from Oyo state (WHAT'S THAT HIS USELESS NAME SELF).

 He even flew the man on a chattered flight to the PDP primaries just because he needed votes from the murderer's constituency.

I cannot vote for a man who speaks with both side of his mouth, he said our children and siblings should sit at home and not go to school during the registration periods while his kids were in school.

I cannot vote for a man who has not shown any capacity of bringing murderers, bombers, criminals to book, he has not been able to convict just one person since more than 4 bombs went off in Nigeria.

I rather remain the only person who won't vote for an opportunist who promised to give us 6,000MW of electricity in 2010, instead we are operating even lower than when he wasn't our president.


What exactly has GEJ done during his 11 months stay as a full time president? Just one thing? please name it, please

@Ma_J_Blige

 I hope you went to school? if yes, do you answer questions with questions? answer mine first and i promise to do you the honor of reciprocating

@Poster

 Please tell me why he should be given the chance?

Because he's an incumbent president, hence has access to all our money to campaign/ bribe delegates?

What exactly has he done? please be very constructive.

Thanks
