NAJALYN: @ Jarus "Political ignoramus. It was one of the pdp rivals to GEJ that said that not Buhari." Hear yourself. You are not even making sence. You are twisting the story because you are a fan of Buhari. You definitly are the political ignoramus. Please get your facts right in future, its in your own interest. @Demdem, how old are you? You should run along and go read your books since all you know how to do best is to insult others.

Alxmyr: Are you saying he was quoted out of context?
The writer of the article never said Buhari gaffed. He simply quote his words. what is the big deal there.
You read meaning to it as it suits you and then let others form their opinion on it. Where is unfairness of Nigerian media in all these?

danjohn: I am a Buhari supporter but I still believe that Buhari has not handled the situation of violence in the North well enough. I think the reason is because Buhari is surrounded by HORRIBLE political operatives. Buhari has the worst political staff in the world. Whoever managed his campaign in 2011 needs to be sued for political malpractice. After the 2011 election, when the violence broke out in the North, Buhari had an opportunity to rehabilitate his public perception but he squandered it.

When violence broke out in the North after the election, nobody could talk to the angry almajiris who were killing youth corpers, Jonathan could not talk to them, neither could Sambo, or even the Sultan of Sokoto. Everybody was calling for Buhari to calm down his supporters. Everybody was asking "WHERE IS BUHARI?" But what did Buhari do, he had an interview with BBC where he said didnt support the violence. I was like "what the f*ck?" How many Nigerians watch BBC?

Rham Emmanuel, the mayor of Chicago, once said that "we should never let a crisis go to waste." Leaders emerge during a crisis. In my honest opinion, after violence broke out in 2011, Buhari should have requested for a 30 minutes timeslot to give a national address at 8:30 pm right before network news. Given how tense the situation was in the country, nobody would have denied him such a request.

He should have stood in front of 5 Nigerian Flags and with a very somber voice; he should have said something along the lines of the following:

"My fellow citizens, I speak to you tonight, not as the Presidential candidate of the CPC, but as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What we have seen happen in the last 24 hours has been heartbreaking. We have seen husbands lose wives, fathers lose sons, mothers lose daughters, and brothers lose sisters. We have heard stories of pastors who watched their churches burn, traders who abandoned their goods and fled with nothing but the clothes on their backs, and mothers of youth corpers who stay awake every night wondering whether their children will return home from the North alive. As a father, grandfather, and husband, I empathize with every individual who has lost a loved one in this crisis.

When I decided to run for President, I did so because I was called by my faith, my upbringing, and my love for this country to do everything within my capacity to make Nigeria great again.

During the campaign, I was touched by the millions of people who rallied around our cause. I was touched by the stories I heard from people who made personal sacrifices simply because they believed in the ideals which gave birth to this campaign. Unfortunately, despite our best effort, our quest to win the Presidency did not succeed.

I would like to use this opportunity to call on every Nigerian who supported our campaign to join hands with the current administration to help move our beloved country forward. I would like to call on all of my supporters, who have taken up arms to express their grievances, to put their weapons away.

At the end of the day, we must remember that our campaign for President was a cause driven by our desire to make Nigeria a better place. We must remember that we weren’t running for President of Northern Nigeria, neither were we running for President of Southern Nigeria, we were running for President of Nigeria; and our mission was to use the Presidency as a platform to uplift the lives of every Nigerian.

Our campaign was designed to unite Nigeria, not to divide her. Our mission was to rally Southerners and Northerners around the common cause of building our country. To all of my supporters, I want you to know that the killing of unarmed defenseless innocent people serves no purpose but to widen the divide that already exists in our country.

In the next couple of days, I will consult with leaders of my party to determine what to do next, with the best interest of our country and our party guiding my way. If we find any reason to doubt the validity of the election results, we will express our grievances through peaceful and civilized channels.

Although I do not know if I will ever seek the Presidency again, I do know that I will devote the rest of my life to the causes that were at the heart of our campaign. Thank you so much for listening to this message. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

I do believe that a message like this was what Nigeria needed after the election. I really wish I worked for the Buhari campaign in 2011.

NAJALYN: Utter rubbish. Buhari threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable if pdp won the election. All the while boko haram has been killing innocent Nigerians, where was he? Asking Northern Governors to tackle boko haram insecurity is certainly an after-thought. He should go hide himself in shame.

sharubutu: I'm a great fan of Gen. Buhari. But, why must he always bring up religious issues when discussing politics? What's the correlation between the Holy Quran and the activities of INEC?

sauer: I think a difference has to be made between which Total is involved. Recently I got an offer from Total downstream on Afribank street in VI. The offer was just a little less, including all benefits with the damnation of being posted to any state of the federation. I rejected this offer cos I got something better elsewhere.
So, it kinda amazes me to see the figures quoted here. Perhaps they only apply to Totol upstream

gmyguy: I really don't do most of the stuff you talked about, but just wondering who made the op an authority on these matters...as in, did you copy and paste from somewhere or u just trying to be a smart-asss just saying...reading all these...your opinion is just your choice... work ethics is a different thing and it varies from workplace to workplace...just saying!...nothing personal nor is it negative criticism, just my opinion

oyb: lucky you

no need to say nada

sixbon2000: In fact eh, no just de talk for office. Just de nod ya head.You learn more when u listen more
