Bayswater:
Don't be surprised the battery power of the card reader is not even up to 5hours when used moderately so I am wondering how it would last for 2hours under constant use during election proper. JEGA needs to be flogged, JEGA must go.

Are you saying this authoritatively or just making unfounded allegations?

maestroferddi:
Can you explain why:

1. Jega's distribution of PVC was skewed to favour states where APC is stronger.
Tell us why the states ravaged by insurgency have by far a higher percentage of PVC collection while the Southern states where the PDP candidate is expected to do well have fewer.

2. Jega resolved to ride roughshod against proprietor, common sense and logic in electing to hold elections on the 14th of February, 2015. We shall be glad to know what informed Jega's decision when more than 30% of the electorates would have been disenfranchised had the military not intervened to save Jega's blushes.

Answers the two questions above as there numerous others that I will not be able to list here.

What makes PVC distribution skewed? i think PDP has been saying they will beat APC in all states and soundly, so where is APC stronger? Is APC not stronger in Ogun state that had very low collection? Is it Jega's job to collect PVC? States ravaged by insurgency have by far a higher percentage of PVC collection because the North generally has a higher rate of PVC collection. It is not about Boko Haram but about the Northern mentality and sensitisation. The Northerners are more motivated and involved in voting and elections compared to the Southerners where we have more undecided and idontcare electorates. Also in the boko ravaged states, there is a supposed State of Emergency in place which restricts movement almost like election day mode. So, they have almost no excuse not to go and collect unlike in places like say Lagos, where people are busier and have more spread, not restricted to their wards. Like me, i have not been to my ward in almost 4weeks and it could easily be more than that.

You want to know what informed Jega's decision to want to hold elections on February 14? That is a no-brainer, that was the PLAN. Serious people work to plan, successful people stick to plan. INEC was ready for February 14. You do not need, neither can you have 100% collection of PVCs before elections can hold. Are you saying that if by some chance 30% have still not collected PVC by 21st March, we should not move forward? The National Council of State met about a day before election was postponed, they all were ready to proceed with the elections, so where do you get your idea that it is not common sense or against proprietor? i thought GEJ said he was not aware, so how is it against proprietor? Have Jega's blushes been saved?

OREMUSSANCTUS:
how come ya want to use card reader and up till now u ve not made provision for alternative power, election around d corner and ya want to teach people to use it. Jega is wasting his time, he had 4 years to plan for dis buh he was busy dining and playing wif apc. I for say ya no get sense buh make I leave ya.

What is alternative power, did you not hear that each of the card readers have extra batterIES? Have you not heard that each battery lasts for long hours enough for a less than 10hours election process? Don't we have businesses like sim card registration centres that use LAPTOPS even with the poor electricity? Is it today or last month that ya knew that we would use card readers for elections? Why is this skepticism/opposition coming up this late after the planning, recruitment, training and logistics have been put in place? Where did you see Jega dining and playing and how do you come to the conclusion that he is wasting his time?

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Jega feels dis election is for experiment, he's not even serious. Come to tink of it, u don't ve power and ya want to use card reader. I pity dis professors of dis days, common sense d prof no get.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting
Educate yourself mr. Electronic voting is not an experiment, it is technology that should be rightly used to combat corruption and the well known rigging machinery in place. Card reader is powered by long lasting batteries and each reader has extra batterieS that would be fully charged, according to INEC. It's not rocket science, this is 2015.

nerilove:
I think your lack of 6th sense has disadvantaged you. Upon all GEJ has done u dare to ask for manifesto. A golden fish has no hiding place. People like would like to be givenfood and also fed in the mouth. My friend, grow up

A manifesto shows basic plans you have for the people if elected, it is not a testimony. Every good leader has plans or manifesto to work with.

Vikkie14:
Since the inception of the terrorist onslaught in 2009, the relationship between Nigeria and US have become sore because the US had failed to supply Nigeria the "needed" weapon to suppress BokoHaram. Here are some reasons i think the bi-lateral relationship is "SEVERELY" severed.

1. PIB

Why the west is suddenly so hostile to Nigeria and is actively fighting us across the local and global media. At last i think i have it---Its the "Petroleum Industry Bill", which is with the National Assembly. If passed in its current form, all the International Oil Companies (who are mainly western) would have to settle for a much reduced take than they currently get. Meanwhile the Eastern oil Companies (China, Korea, India) are apparently itching to come in and take up those oil blocks.
They have been pressuring GEJ and his team without much success. No wonder everything the Nigerian Government does now is wrong, and they deserve no help.
I may be wrong but i cant think of any other major areas of disagreement. Hope they havent made a deal with the (presumed) incoming government.

2. EBOLA

When the 'biological-terrorist' Patrick sawyer, landed in Lagos with the mission to inflict the "incurable" ebola virus on Nigeria, it was met with stiff resistance from the medical angle. The quick period we are able to fast-track and contain Ebola is something that baffles the whole world. We added salt to the sore throat when NIGERIA WAS USED AS A GOOD "ROLE MODEL" WHICH THE WORLD SHOULD EMULATE. Don't forget also that US send medical personnel to come and study how we are able to Identify, Isolate and Insulate ebola victims within a short time.
Someone is wondering why, the word "terrorist" surface here, i may have to do a minor flashback to when the sawyer was still in Liberia. The CCTV clips shows him "avoiding" his country men at the airport in order not to infect them with the virus. But when he got to Nigeria, he was seen handshaking, 'touching' people. If you still think he is not a biological terrorist and that he doesn't have a mission, WHAT ABOUT THE AGGRESSION HE SHOW, WHEN HE REMOVED THE DRIPS AND URINATE(pee) ON THE MEDICAL STAFFs ATTENDING TO HIM AT THE LAGOS HOSPITAL?? Think again about the "Liberian-AMERICAN" patrick-sawyer.

3. LGBT right

Their gay rights issue is another one.
I have always said that, watch any government which the west disagrees with. More often than not, they are actually doing something right and beneficial for their own country--- the west is only interested in slaves it can boss around.
The same America have not so much as cared about Boko haram and over 10,000 civilians who have had their throats slits and killed, But postpone an election and all of a sudden, they are up in arms.
The rabid hypocrisy is utterly breathtaking.

4. AFRICOM

Is it also possible that we are paying for opposing the relocation of US Africa Command from Europe to Africa? Think about it, we are seen as a "threat" to their 'power grabbing' style in Africa, hence their hatred to us.
Both and many more, last black bastion of defense against the 2nd and remote colonization and scramble for africa it’ resources and market for western products,

5. ECONOMY

Nigeria is undoubtedly a regional power and economic block that would take away the western dominance. It is all about the Benjamins, it has always been that, only African have refused to get it, always looking for Help or Handout. the free things are the most expensive. later you would get the ploy behind the visa lottery and also free gift Naval ships. We should be aware that we are a "future threat" to their 'economical dominance'.
Currently, Nigeria is Africa Biggest Economy, the 3rd Fastest Growing Economy(in the world, coming behind China and Qatar), and also, Nigeria is among the MINT(the next world economy power house) country of countries whose economy will become extremely buoyant. MINT is an acronym for Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey. Nigeria surely is bound to be Africa Economy Hub--- a issue giving the western sleepless night.

Below is the MINT table.


This is my own opinion though.
Please share your view.

The West is not hostile to us, neither is our relationship severely severed. They simply made a choice not to sell to us. Business is not by force. We should stop all this childish talk about the West not helping us, they don't need to in the first instance. This same government prides itself in any flimsy positive thing the West says about Nigeria or the government. If Obama says today that GEJ is handsome, they will include it in achievements point and campaign. We should stop the inferiority complex. We are allegedly an independent nation since 1960.

ALL THESE YEARS, OPPONENTS RELISHED IN TAUNTING HER HUSBAND BY CALLING HIM OGOGORO DRINKER, CLUELESS, JONOTHING, SHOELESS MAN FROM OTUOKE.

AND WHEN SHE TAUNTS THEM BACK NOW THROUGH THEIR BIG OGA, YOU HIDE UNDER THE UMBRELLA THAT SHE IS A FIRST LADY AND DO NOT EXPECT HER TO REACT.

Who are these opponents, can you mention them? Are they in public office or vying for the office of the President?

lordthunderbolt:
He that must come to equity must do so with clean hands. ....you avoided a debate in Nigeria and went to Chatham house to speak English.......chei buhari....its true you didn't go to school.....seriously. ...how many Nigerians can subscribe to even watch the Chatham show? the apc people eh....

The Chatham house is not exactly for campaigns, please do some research and stop this ignorance. BTW, many Nigerians got to hear about the Chatham event thanks to FFK and Fayose mainly. Now, GEJ is following Buhari and waiting for the next step. He even missed his two debates because Buhari said he would miss them. Waiting for leader Buhari to continue state campaigns before they follow with their 21 billion, still idea is missing.

Rules of the game: no tearing of bra, no dragging of hair.

Silence remains the best answer for her type. There's never a reason to insult a fellow human, not to mention a former head of state and presidential candidate. The same woman incited violence recently by telling people to STONE the opposition. There are certain positions and offices one has to respect, no one knows tomorrow.

Hope this is not a ploy to postpone the elections or rubbish the use of card reader? What happens if the mock election has a lot of hitch? I don't trust Nigeria and technology, many things can go wrong to disenfranchise genuine voters and input cooked results. No be program and virus? Anyway, God will help us. That's my chief hope.

Like i said, maybe Buhari also realized like GEJ. GEJ allegedly change his mind, you say "he realized", Buhari allegedly changed his mind, you say "he is satan". Clearly, you are biased and double standard.

PhockPhockMan:
Yes, initially he thought boko haram are human beings when Buhari said that a war against bokoharam is a war against the north. Now he has realized they're animals, he's treating like animals.

Duh, you just attacked Buhari of doublespeaking. How about maybe Buhari also realized like GEJ, that's supposing your allegations are not mere propaganda.

APC WITCHCRAFT BROOM CARRYING PARTY

APC CAUSING FUEL SCARCITY LIKE THIER MAYHEM.
The Schizophrenic demented sick Pa Buhari is a terrorist, deranged old brainless super clueless bastard
Apc is boko haram
Thiefnu.bu is a pedophile drug dealer and a cocain sniffer property seized in the usa for his drug deals.

Buhari can only be president in sambisa and shekau would hand over to him with his forged result. 

Osinbajo is fake and a loafer

Amechi and Fashola are errand boys

Ambode new recruit errand boy


Buhari boko haram spiritual head

Atiku and Thiefnu.bu boko haram sponsor

This is one of the miserable jobs created under this administration, probably Sure-p. The dignity of labor is lost and this guys are actually fighting for their jobs. If GEJ loses, such unproductive labor is gone.

PhockPhockMan:
The question is, did Buhari doublespeak on amnesty for bokoharam?
If yes, that's un-presidential.

That's the question. Unfortunately, there is no question or doubt that GEJ doublespeaks, dillydallies, and makes unpresidential gaffes often. GEJ said boko haram are his family and that you can't send soldier to kill your family. He also said boko haram is in his government. He keeps claiming people should not incite violence while his wife is criminally telling people to STONE the opposition, his vice is making ethno-religious divisive statements, his campaign directors are severely heating up the polity, his kinsman Asari is threatening to divide Nigeria, and he is fratenizing with thief Gbenga Daniel. Talk about unpresidential.

[quote author=anonimi post=31231710][/quote]Lol, that ofada business is someone's personal sweat, dream and achievement. It is not GEJ/Sambo administration achievements. Nigeria has been producing entrepreneurs for ages.

PhockPhockMan:
Trash.

Why is it trash to you? It is video evidence of Buhari's stance on boko haram, not propaganda that has been allowed to fester, only defendable by photoshop pictures and questionable newspaper cuts.

The summary of the OP is that our government has had it's priority wrongly placed and that needs to change. If those $billions of dollars were spent judiciously on infrastructure instead of few people's stomach, Nigeria would be a better place today, and the GEJ administration would have been heros.

Since those are BEFORE pictures and they are now transformed, are you saying there will be no election violence, and that lack of education caused their former excesses not Buhari?

They should try TAN. We'd like to know who and how TAN is being funded. The nuisance they are constituting should not run on our collective wealth and tax payers money. Nigerians need to be gainfully employed and not coerced or deceived into being political tools whose pittance depends solely on the re-election of President Jonathan.

Paul's christian conduct/behaviour to political leaders II.

---

During the time of Paul, the chief priests and the Sanhedrin also qualified as rulers of the people. Paul had some dealings with them and it iwill be good that we highlight some of this briefly.

Act 23:4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
Act 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
Paul was a man of God and filled with the Holy Spirit. In fact, he was used of God in writing many books in the Bible. Paul however did not look at every man as the same, neither did he look than on perceived sinners and the ungodly. In the shoes of Paul today, some christian or popular pastor-preacher may have said "And so what?" But not Paul. Once Paul heard that the man he addressed was the high priest, he immediately changed his stance. He knew the law and obeyed it, quoting "Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people". To revile is to make a fierce or abusive verbal attack on somebody or something. To revile is to abuse, insult, scorn, berate or rebuke. We are not to revile leaders, Paul says in one of his letters that reviling can attract God's judgement.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Talking further about leaders and rulers, Paul wrote the following below.
1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

We should learn to pray for our political leaders instead of reviling them. Pray for them, interceed for them, give thanks even for them It says this is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE before God. While a pastor or minister or christian should not exactly be frolicking and gallivanting with worldly politicians, there is no sin in pastors praying for or honouring the position of political leaders. Political leaders sometimes call for pastors and christians, for different reasons. The christian and pastor can of course pray for, honour and assist where possible with care and discretion/discernment.
Apart from being an 'heaven' citizen, Paul attested to being both a jew and a Roman. Christians are not independent or detached from their earthly nationality and do not need to act so.
Act 22:25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Act 22:26 When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
Act 22:27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea
We are not to be too passive or nonchalant about our nationality. We should be patriotic and desirous of the peace and progress of where we come from and of where we reside. Paul had wishes, desires and prayers for his country, do you? We should not be the "whatever will be will be, me i am off to heaven" christian. God wants His good will done on earth also.

ekolina:
He actually agreed Nigeria is the largest economy in African. All tanx to Mr President...GEJ 2019. #NeverAgain# will Buhari oversee Nigeria

Interesting, why should he deny? It is as saying Nigeria is the giant of Africa, or has the largest population in Africa. It is not the doing of Mr president, it is simply what we are. Economy rebasing was last done 1990,it is just data and statistics calculation. It is not the achievement of any government.

udemzyudex:
you didn't watch Buhari speak bro,he was just mumbling sometimes he keep mute for more than 10seconds just to answer a question,you need to see the way that man sitting close to him was just looking at him....

Lol, i guess you have not seen president Jonathan mumbling and fumbling before Obama and telling Obama to come and fix Nigeria, Obama was so embarrassed. Abi was it before CNN's Amanpour where he was going errrrrrrrrrrrrr errrrrrrrrrrrrr errrrrrrrrrrrrr that is not correct. Or media chat where he referred to Nigerians as goats that he has to separate yam from. I'm almost sure you didn't watch both the speech and the interactive session at Chatham.

VellyG:
He has been cramming the speech since he arrived London. The reason why he hasn't been seen in public since he came to London.

Duh, he read the speech, no need to cram. Don't make assertions when you didn't even watch the event.

What a speech! I didn't know when i started clapping.

johnydon22:

Speaking of hell, the more reason why you should know it costs not much to forget sinners in hell for eternity.

Eluwilussit:
We are about to take a million steps backward. It is easy to criticize the govt of the day, but if all the people before jonathan did half of what you have written, Jonathan wouldn't have all these problems to tackle. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to keep going over the same things time and again. I have made all my argument on almost all the issues you raised, either with you or some other people.

Sometimes, I wish God will give Nigerians APC and Buhari, so we can compare GEJ and Buhari.

No qualms brother, see you at the polls. May God grant your wish.

Eluwilussit:
Bro chill. Nobody condones corruption, insurgency, unemployment and all the vices you mentioned. I was not born yesterday. I was a witness to a lot of the attrocities of the past military juntas. All the vices we accuse jonathan of today, started during the military rules. They created all these monsters. Guess what, Buhari was part of all of them except IBB's regime. He has benefited from our collective goodwill more than most people.

Bro, the current administration condones the said vices. They are calling what is happening transformation, and asking us to vote for a continuity. In my little experience, when a person knows his problem, the problem is half solved. but our government do not accept these things, and when presented with hard facts, they often blame everybody else but themselves or live in denial. What are we accusing Jonathan of that started long ago? Whose fault that the boko haram menace snowballed into what we have today? Whose fault that Jonathan went dancing a day after boko haram attacks? Whose fault that GEJ pardoned and mixes openly with thugs and thieves like Alamesia, Asari Dokubo, FFK and Fayose? Whose fault that GEJ denied the authenticity of the Ekitigate audiotape or lied on CNN that we now have light in Nigeria if the people on the streets of Lagos are asked? Whose fault are the impunities of men like Asari Dokubo, Ibu, Fayose and others that openly heat up the polity on National TV and dailies without the president correcting or condemning them secretly or openly? Whose fault that we did not save 1dollar during the raining days when crude oil prices were very good? Whose fault that despite our depletion of the foreign reserves and other reserves and a lot of borrowings and attempts to borrow, our naira is still devalued and we are still having nothing tangible to show for it in terms of infrastructure? Whose fault that ASUU and ASUP and the medical people and all sorts of associations have been going on long strikes? Why was ASUU allowed to go on a more than 6month strike when you still acceded to their demands at the end? Why was more than $1billion taken from the federal accounts during the fall of crude prices when the naira will still be devalued? Who takes responsibility for these things? IBB or God?

Jonathan is not a magician. There are chronic vices that have benefited the likes of IBB, GMB and all the former northern rulers. If you expect Jonathan to sanitize nigeria by jailing them, then you have not really understood what the FG has been saying and doing. You need to clear your mind of any biase, to see the whole picture. Jona is blocking all the loopholes through which a lot of these thieves siphone our treasury. It is one thing at a time. We are not there yet but we are making progress.

If he is not a magician, then he should stop claiming to be. What he has done so far have not been magical or transformation in any way. They have been very mediocre compared to the time given and input of money. What chronic vices do you talk of that has benefitted GMB without benefitting GEJ himself? i have not mentioned jail neither do i wish jail on anybody? What is it with the jailphobia by the way? Are there not people in jail in Nigeria? are Nigerians not going to jail for the past 6years? Why does the government talk like nobody has gone to jail since they got there? Is it all in a bid to cover up their incompetence and lack of political will or grit? In other countries,developed countries, people go to jail of course. Development or progress does not mean offenders do not go to jail. The law should be followed. Patting criminals on the back and rewarding them with a lot of money and political appointments is not advancement or progress. Leave jail to the judiciary. Why was the executive aiding and abetting unlawful detention of many people in the opposition in Ekiti state during the ekiti gubernatorial elections last year? Are those not Nigerians too? Fight corruption, don't condone or commend or reward it with silly statements and actions. Calling all Nigerians goats or at least all those in the civil service, and telling us they need to be kept away from the yam is not the great technology or innovation we look forward to in fighting corruption. We are talking about minimizing and blocking wastages, like the 400,000 barrels of crude oil that daily gets stolen, like reducing the number of delegates the president and minister move with and pay a lot of money and allowances putting them in posh hotels and huge spending allowances everytime they travel, which is almost every time. We are talking about the corruption that goes on in our borders and customs, and in the obtaining of our international passports and drivers licences etc.

On Agriculture, even APC has come out and congratulated the minister instead of the president. Typical hypocritical oppositional move. Millions of jobs have been created. We learned that food prices have been steady for some time now.

We now have some auto companies coming in to invest in our economy. Indigenous auto companies are thriving too, due to government policies and patronage. Jonathan has built more roads than all the vagabonds before him. The refurbished rail line nko? Remember that Buhari cancelled the lagos metro line project and paid a fine running into tens of millions of dollars as a result. It has been alleged that he opted to pay the fine even though the fine was enough to complete the project. All this was while Lagos was still the capital city. Why?

We are doing fine in agriculture but not as much as we can and should have done. i don't care what the APC or the current government says(i am neither), i care about the reality on ground. Where are the MILLIONS of jobs CREATED? How do you come about the figure or estimation? Food prices have been relatively steady because the naira and the pump price have been relatively steady. What we need is better price control which is non existent at the moment. What we need is for the price of thing s to come down and the quality of food and goods to improve. i cannot celebrate when the matches and candle are of better quality in canada than nigeria where we need them more. Or when the rice, chicken and beef in America are better than the ones here.
Really, i am yet to see the positive effects of auto companies coming in to invest in our economy. We need to see the massive recruitment into chief positions, not slave trade positions while some white driver comes here and is Technical director or Chief Engineer West Africa while Masters and University graduate Nigerians are working crazy shifts as junior staff or contractors with no or little regards for labour laws. We need to see average Nigerians buying the made in Nigeria autos, those are the effects i await before commending. i am not too interested in unfounded allegations, please state your facts about the metro lines and Railways. Why am i not impressed about the current administration's rail projects? Because they are doing it on borrowed money, at high cost, and at low standard.

Jonathan signed the FOI bills that OBJ and Yar'Adua couldnt sign. Today, all the APC states have refused to sign the bills at state level. That puts Jonathan on a superior moral ground than his accusers. Abi na lie?

The FOI bill is a joke. Jonathan has refused to let us see the reports of the PWC audits, what FOI is that? We do not know his assets or salary, what FOI is that? We do not need political FOI.

Please, I can't continue reeling out Buhari's sins and trying to lecture everyone on why Jona is a better option. Read my past posts. Buhari is inadequate in so many ways that it is nearly impossible to sell him. Believe me, I have participated in electoral processes abroad, so I know that Buhari is the least qualified of all candidates based on his past human rights record. It's only in Nigeria that a name as his, will even come up accidentally, when discussing democracy. Buhari is a democracy outcast.

If you still think Buhari at 73 is the change and future of nigeria, Goodluck. As much as I can't stop Buhari, I owe myself and every well meaning nigerian a duty to tell my side of the story as I see it. Thanks for your time. Stay blessed.

The beauty of democracy, we get the leaders we choose not necessarily the leaders we need. We have an election, and it is realistically between Jonathan and Buhari. i think Jonathan has had 6years to prove himself and in his own words, he said if he cannot do something for four years, then he cannot do it even if given 100years. The records are there for me to decide, we have not moved forward like we should. i think it is only fair and time to allow someone else a trial.

dougivilla:
The certificate is a basic requirement and buhari did not submit any certificate but a false affidavit. If good governance is your desire and you insist that Nigerians should overlook these corruption then I am sorry to. say, you're a hypocrite.




Did Buhari give us good governance earlier?

INEC is satisfied with whatever Buhari submitted and so are many Nigerians. You are the biblically confirmed hypocrite in fixating on the mote in Buhari's eye and being oblivious to the beam that is in Jonathan's eye. Jonathan's government remains most corrupt and inept. i do not say that Buhari is a saint, he is simply a better option of the two. If by any chance, Buhari shows you his so called certificate tomorrow, are you then going to say "Oh nice, i am voting for Buhari now"? i very much doubt it. This re-affirms my stance that his certificate is not the issue. Competence is a more key issue for me, not religion, or age, or tribe, or certificate. President Jonathan is chief proof that these things do not matter when compared to competence. The international community just described him as a FAILED President, none of our leaders has been so badly described. He failed his promises, the Nigerian hope, himself, power sector, education, integrity and even his mentors. i live in Nigeria and i know that they are not lying, let the votes decide.
