I was discussing and deliberating on some political issues concerning Nigeria with a friend who is frm the north just yesterday and along the line this question came into ma mind and i put it up to guy bt he could not do justice to my question. Now I want to ask nairalanders an honest question, if gej is frm the north and gmb is frm the south will the hausas and the yoruba yearn for a change to vote in a man frm the south. ONLY THE TRUTH IS GOOD ENOUGH

Yes, they have done it before when they overwhelmingly voted for Abiola instead of their own Bashir Tofa.

^^^^Don't worry, if it ever comes to that the NAF can easily be sent to sink the ships, they are as at now just sitting ducks - when the time is right the threat would be removed.

The man is lying, see their Organogram and his excuse for not going hard on Boko Haram.

tit:
What of the borrowed 25 million?
is that not one of his "assets"?

Na so dem teach you for school?
Which time has borrowed money i.e. a debt and therefore a liability ever become an asset - Choi! na wa for some ppl oh!

Why not tell your Otuoke paymaster to do the same; shey you know say jail time awaits him by May 2015, he'll be among the first to go down for corruption.

A president who refused to declare his assets as required by law automatically forfeits all expectations not to be seen as corrupt.

The president's body language and utterances also spells corruption; most especially for saying STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.

He is known to pardon corruption - Alams
His government presides over corruption - so many corruption scandals
He courts corruption - since most of his friends are corrupt.
He is married to corruption - PEJ has been indicted by Ribado led EFCC for money laundering
How therefore can he himself be free of corruption?

^^^Quite true, GEJ is failure on corruption, imagine implying he is afraid to name corrupt Nigerians.

And his infamous quote: STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION.

GMB loved by the upright hated by the corrupt: which are you.

Congratulations to GMB the next President in waiting.

Its the end of the road for that Otuoke man, his final destination has just been decided, jail time for sure.

See his confession

Its called BUHARIMANIA and its catching - only the corrupt should be afraid.

This is a victory for the masses

GEJ's reaction on hearing the news

Vivalavida99:
I pity a lot of you folks when you allow sentiment overcloud your sense of reasoning. All them politicians in APC are same ol dirty bastard, criminals, pedophiles, corrupt, nonentity, good for nothing politicians outfox from PDP.

What change are they even talking about? If APC wins the 2015 election, their governance may even be the worst of the worst in Nigerian history.

Nothing could be worse than our current Mr. 'America will know' in Aso Rock - sentiments aside.

Obama also says:

Too late, he already failed twice: 1st time after he took over from Yaradua and the 2nd time after his resumption in 2011.

Nigerians are therefore saying enough is enough, you've had your chance and blew it, expect your marching orders come Feb 2015 - bye!

timawoku:
am very busy I don't have all these time...

No wonder, he also shaved your brain along with your hair, that explains why you seem to have very poor comprehension, kpele, sanu, sorry - you hear.

You have been warned, pls don't back incompetency.

JackBaueress1:
Very good! Na to dey drink our oyel be that

Careful, too much fit cause jedi jedi

Good, let him continue praising Jonathan for bringing facebook to Nigeria.

Idrismusty97:
I only see two people using that here, one a Muslim the other a Christian(Timawoku and ItsMeAboki). That term is even formed by Christians to make writing shorter and easier. The "X" is a replacement for "Christ". E.g Xmas,Xtianity etc I have seen more Christians using that unless you are clouded by sentiments or just looking for trouble.

Pls check again, I didn't use the abbreviation, the other person did.

timawoku:
You need to understand more, I hope you are mature enough (sincerely hope) to catch my drift or else don't quote
me...
even with all the negative publicity through the largely Christian dominated global media (though I am sure you'll want to disagree).
The above statement is an attempt of an intended subtle attack (which is not as this can open a pandora bigotry reaction), this is a statement that depicts defensiveness of your religion and also implying a disrespect to christians as a whole, what other statement could be more religious bigotry than what has been stated above? And you have not disrespected?
2) I only stated my family background so that other few intelligent people reading would understand that I am devoid of religious sentiments (wonder why you did not get that).no disrespect
My bone of contention is that, you can decide to post more than 5 million online stories of xtians converting to muslims, this does not mean xtianity will end 2moro morning, and vice versa also. Neither does your online support for islam/xtianity will ensure you making heaven, just stay true to your self, be good to everyone and above all, be holy. Doesn't matter if we are black,white,xtians,muslims,yoruba,hausa,etc. We are a people with different ways of life. If you don't get me, honestly,don't quote me...

Quite on the contrary, you are the one lacking in intellect and objectivity to appreciate an openly factual point without giving it a bias twist.

I still stand by my statement; you can twist it as much as you like, its out there for all to judge, as there was no disrespect or intent to disrespect Christians.

Yes, I said the global media is dominated by Christians; pls tell me if that is not true and show me how could that possibly be construed as an insult or attack against Christians.
Its is also my opinion that said media often portrays Islam in a bad light (though again, you are free to disagree) - how is that an insult or disrespectful?

The only religious bigotry you need to fear is the one in your mind as none has so far been expressed either by the OP or in any of my posts.

Your so called bone of contention is baseless because the videos clips were simply to corroborate my point rather than a prediction of the demise of Christianity or a call for conversion nor a forecast of my fate in the after life (though hopefully heaven) -yet again, its all in the figment of your obviously wandering imagination.

WhiteTechnology:
Are you sure North will not secede now that oil wealth is gone.

Lai lai, not when there is still plenty awoof wey still remain, maybe when de oyelly price fall reach below one bag of groundnut or tomato; then perhaps we can start talking.

Shey e dey pain you well well ba? Oya enjoy the sarcasm.

Anaskie:
Thumbs up to our gallant soldiers!
More grease to your guns.

So Bokoharam even employs professional camera men too?

They are gradually becoming the biggest employers of labour in this country. We have Bokoharam lawyers, doctors, engineers, accountants, carpenters, photographers etc etc.

I wonder how much they pay their workers

They even have one employed one in Aso Rock.

timawoku:
he did say he meant no disrespect, and humbly asked for muslims to truly search within themselves, which (to me) also sends a message to the xtians, before this thread becomes infested with religious bigots, may I state here that we can only co exist, and never imposed on or cajoled (because certain people decided to change faith). Its a pity that no matter what we write here to defend our faith, it cannot guarantee heaven for us. only our character can. whether 50 million people just converted to islam, or xtianity does/can not change our faith as a people with a way of life. Before u talk ill about me, My mum and all her family members are muslims, my dad is a xtian, I am a product of a devoid religious sentiments. God bless islam and christians, may his light shine on us all...

My friend, refer to my post again and show me where I inferred he was disrespectful or where I took offence to what he said?
You'll find none; so pls do not twist things into what is not there.

BTW, your diversified religious family background is quite irrelevant to the issue at hand - no disrespect.

I still maintain my position i.e. that though it be news to the OP (and the likes of him) that Muslims (in this case, allegedly a cleric) converted to Christianity; while it is no longer news to us Muslims (though highly welcomed) to note Christians (including prominent ones) converting to Islam because it has been happening all the time - there are so many examples out there in youtube etc.

See documentary on famous ppl who converted to Islam:

@op:
Sorry to burst your bubble, more Christians are converting to Islam than the other way round. In fact Islam is currently the world's fastest growing religion, even with all the negative publicity through the largely Christian dominated global media (though I am sure you'll want to disagree).

There many more examples of prominent Christians, including holy men converting to Islam; here is one - its nothing new, we are used to it:

A catholic priest from the island of Java in Indonesia who has woken up from a 17 month long coma has converted himself to Islam after the man claims Allah spoke to him and showed him “the beauty of the heavens”.

Here is more of what he had to say:

“I know nothing of Islam. Never once have I read the Quran but God spoke to me and asked me to follow him to the heavens and the Holy light shone through my entire being and behold the golden gates of heaven appeared before me and God told me his name and it was Allah” told the newly convert to a journalist of the Kalimantan Press.

Sending her back to steal even more, kai some ppl will never learn.

Stealing is no doubt an act of corruption; the latter being a more broader definition of several other unethical acts (which also include stealing).

The president badly goofed, like many of his misguided supporters here woefully trying to launder his already tarnished image, when he tried to disengaged stealing from this broader umbrella of perspective.

In this regard, anybody who steals i.e. unlawfully takes something not belonging to him for himself or other(s) (whether collectively or individually; in a private capacity or public capacity) can rightly be said to have committed an act of corruption and he himself can be said to be corrupt.
But conversely, a corrupt person may not necessarily be a thief or have committed an act of theft, if for example: he favours a less qualified person (friend/relative) for a job, contract etc. but would have committed an act of corruption.

The message the president was sending out by such needless statement was completely wrong and epitomises he himself and his government for earning the unfortunate accolade of the most corrupt regime in Nigeria's history.
