BEAF: He was strongly considered while the original list was being drawn last year but he was still somehow a newbie then, having just joined mid-2009. But between March 2010 and March 2011, he held the entire Politics section by storm. He was easily teh second most popular personality in that section after Becomrich. He has also been extremely consistent. Being a regular guest of banning authorities, Beaf may not be a gentleman and not friend of we NL management, but there is no disputing the fact that if he leaves today, two years on, comers to that section will know one man under teh moniker Beaf once bestrode thsi space. Welcome beaf to NL Hall of Fame!!!

I need your nominations and suggestions pls, especially in sections I know little about. Back your nominations with proofs pls.
9 more to be decided between now and March 15.

As NL clocks 6 and this thread clocks 1, we want to induct 10 more people and have 60 MEN AND WOMEN THAT MOVED NL 2005-2011

So begin to nominate

1, Anybody who deserves to be there but was omitted last year, or
2, Anybody that, though didn't have the records to make it in 2010, but has done enough between March 2010 and March 2011 to make the list now

Start nominating.

Nomination ends March 15, 2011

Oh, how time flies, so it's one year that I did this for NL at 5: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-413742.0.html
We are now updating the thread to have '60 MEN THAT MOVED NL @ 6'

Musiwa don enter market, honestly

lionness:
Why on earth does Jarus allow this id**i0t to post his trash all over nl!

Because it is Becomrich, the only graduate of 'electricity engineering' in the whole world!

Buhari slogan takes over Gombe PDP rally Tuesday, 08 March 2011 19:15 administrator    .From Auwal Ahmad, Gombe

Slogans for Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday took over the campaign venue of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally in Bojoga, Gombe state, at the expense of its own candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.
The chants began the moment all speakers, especially the party’s candidates mounted the podium. While the candidates were shouting the PDP slogans, the crowd responded with the shout of  “Nigeria sai Buhari!” ( meaning Nigeria Only Buhari!)  for the presidency.
However, for other offices, the crowd chanted in support for the PDP candidates.
Even when the state Governor, Danjuma Goje and the party’s gubernatorial candidate Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo mounted the podium, it was the same response of “ Nigeria sai Buhari!” to the amazement of all that gathered at the Bajoga township stadium.   
When the state Governor shouted “Gombe,” the crowd replied with “sai Dankwambo” but when he shouted “Nigeria,” the crowd responded with “Sai Buhari!” for more than three times.
All the candidates, especially for the governorship and senate seats, in their campaign speeches called on the people to vote for the entire PDP candidates, including President Jonathan, however got a negative response.
While leaving the venue, the campaign posters of Buhari were seen in virtually all the place, to the consternation of the top PDP members.

In Kano it's 'Sai Kwakwanso(PDP) Kano, Sai Buhari Naijiriya'
Now Gombe. Good to know that in presidential elections, even PDP people will vote Buhari. With Gombe, Bauchi, Borno in the basket for Buhari, even North East may return more than what analysts predicted. With like 85% in NW and NE tilting towards 75% for Buhari, Buhari's chance continues to brighten by teh day.

damas11111:
It's been a while I read his contributions in any of the political topics. Hence I ask: Where is Jarus?

Thanks dear. I  dey kampe. Only extremely busy with lots of stuffs in office here.
I still buzz in to do some clean up as Mod, read few comments and contribute, where pressed. Being a BBer, BB threads are my 'joints' now.

Mai Suya:
writing an article for NVS

Got a lot to pen o, but extremely busy. My latest is: As Jonathan's men resume offensive. Watch my space at that end.

Nice rhetoric from Mr President but it sounds like 50 kobo politics to me.

4. The guy in the blue looks silly. Just for the record.

LWKMD
Looks like Mr Ibu of Nollywood

Orisirisi.

Anyway, thank God she's alive.

nweike:
In a rally in the a northern state the cpc vice presidential candidate made this statement: '
'I beleive Nigerian does not need generational shift but generational intigration' Haba in this period when we are clamouring for[b] youthful persons who are vibrant to take over the reins of leadership [/b] mr bakare in bid to justify his party' quest to restle government from pdp is beginning to sing tunes that can pass for apala music in the hipup age

Youthful persons like Dimeji Bankole, Bukola Saraki abi?

I keep seeing PH being referred to as 2nd largest city in Nigeria. I do go to PH and if what you define largeness by population, which is what is relevant here, then I can say without hesitation that after Lagos, at least Kano and Ibadan are more populated than PH, even Kaduna will give it a run for its money, leaving it to struggle for 4th or 5th spot. In fact given what I do see in PH, even Ilorin will give it a run for its money.

First, how are we sure he was the one that actually won? Because anybody can cry foul if he loses. After all, even Femi Pedro that gathered less than 50,000 votes in Lagos in 2007 claimed he won but was rigged out by CAN where Fashola had almost a million votes?

Second, there is a limit to which Buhari can do. Yes he formed the party and he is the leader, he still has to watch his interference so as not to turn the party into a one-man party.

3, We only heard from an aggrieved party. We have not heard from the other party. I can easily go out and grant interview and hurl insults against somebody.

4, Which job is the man doing? What's his source of income to be ready to pay 100m as independent million if not one of those rogues that want to ride on Buhari's good name to power to loot
5, We cannot rule out PDP agents and fifth columnists planted in CPC to destroy the party from within.

Odunnu, when does someone become a 'fanatic' for 'selecting'?

Demdem:
i honestly dont understand this bcomb at all. what exactly is he driving at

welcome Becomrich to Education section. I don push am here. By the time he spends 3 days here, you will understand him

“Because I don’t see what PDP as a national party, as a party that is trying to form a government in Lagos State, as a party that formed government at the national level and in at least 27 states in the country, would be celebrating criminality because whatever we may say, the reason Bode went to prison should be condemned by everybody.

“And I have condemned it but he did not go to prison for political offence. If he had been sent to prison for political offence, then he comes back and all his political associates may get round him and PDP must do something noble and wholesome but in this case, PDP as a party must dissociate itself from celebrating criminality

If Obj truly said this, the he earns my respect.

This will take miracle. If we have 25% there, it's ok.

While IBB is not someone one will be proud to relate with, I think by now, Niger is another state BB can go and sleep about. If IBB can deliver Niger to Atiku, then a even more sellable Buhari can go and rest. With Nasarawa, Niger and FCT now sure for BB, people counting North Central as GEJ's stronghold should have a rethink.

This thread s very interesting. I ahve where I agree with the 'fors' and where I agree with the 'againsts'.

I also used to dismissed all those motivational books until I read 'Eat that frog'. Mhen, teh book is very helpful, thoughtful and practicable.
But I still have reservation about the way many Nigerians go about it, as if once you pick those those books, you have become a billionaire.

I know this Imam. His mosque is situated inside GSS, Farfaru, Sokoto, which was used as our camp during our NYSC year. I have prayed Friday Juma'at under him in the past.

In all honesty though, I do not expect someone of his status in the society to be defacing anybody's posters.

^^^^
I'm afraid we can't. That was the title given to it in the referenced news story. And the body of the news doesn't suggest otherwise.

^^^^
Was Jonathan able to pull half that in his Niger Delta(Port Harcourt) rally?

koyuid:
We shook kaduna today. my boss immediately joined the BB team.
still working on two die hard GEJ fans. itslike most GEJ fans are only supporting for sentimental reasons only!

Exactly, but most of them are coming back to reason. GEJ keeps dropping fans by the day. Here is the comment of a former fan I had lunch with this afternoon: 'Jonathan is not sharp, I used to like him, he is a good man, but he doesn't have independent mind, he cannot take decisions on his own, I will not vote for him again' That was where I threw the Buhari ticket to her and pronto, BB got a new fan.

I'm receiving a call from my friend as I'm typing this and he said the whole of Kaduna is agog for Buhari now. The whole city is blocked and he told me he was just entering Kaduna from Zaria, and from toll gate, Kaduna has never witnessed taht kind of traffic, all for Buhari.

Locked. Continue here.

Poster is warned to stop creating multiple threads on same topic.

I am unstickying this thread. We put it up to examine the approval rating of the president at a particular point in time. In the next two months by God's grace, we will be putting up another.

agabaI23:
I wish we can discuss politics devoid of ethnicity and religion. I knew about that grudge but being a VP is an advantage to any people and it is celebrated. But if they cannot celebrate his new position because of religion, why will you be shy to bring it in since it is the major factor in this instance. You are jubilating that a state will not vote for a candidate because they were 'betrayed' religiously not due to political reasons. Is that right Jarus? I thought voting would have been based on merit. Now according to you they are going to vote based on religious sentiment which is what you have been against and it still gladdens your heart. . . Right?

No, I'm not jubilating, I just did my analysis based on reality, which was glaring. Will I say because the reason is not sound enough, I'll be blind to it? Will I say all is well with Kaduna North people and Sambo because what they are nursing against one another is less than noble? Does saying what is obvious amount to endorsement?

And where you shot yourself in the leg, you mentioned 'southern Kaduna' factor? What is motivating the Southern Kaduna people if not because Yakowa(current PDP governor) is one of their own(ethnicity) and GEJ is a Christian(religion)? Southern Kaduna factor, like the northern Kaduna factor, is nothing but religion and ethnicity. And in the final analysis, teh northern Kaduna, based on theri numerical strenght, are carrying the day.

It's no endorsement, it's a statement of reality, of fact.

Yeye dey worry you, I think say you go say you go resign your paid Job, wetin concern person if you resign as NL mod afterall your tenure don dey elapse, abi you don apply for tenure elongation ?

On a serious note I agree KATSINA will be almost impossible for GEJ , but Kaduna should not. Yes Buhari has his following there, but remember that YAKOWA and to some extent Sambo's career depend on their ability to deliver KADUNA ,so GEJ should have a good showing there.

GEJ will definitely put up a good showing in Kaduna due, not to Sambo, but to Southern Kaduna factor, but even if it's 60-40, Buhari has it. Quote me. Sambo is a lightweight.

agabaI23:
Well I do not have the information you have however I do know that governors do have a lot of influence in elections.
Lets say they see him as a traitor but they have a governor who was his deputy. Do they also see him as a traitor? What % of Northern Kaduna people see him as a traitor?

Lets say that he wins 30% out of the 35% in the south and 30 % of the remaining 65% in the north still love him, then GEJ will have 60%.
Do not forget that Sambo is still Hausa and moslem, two factors that influence the vote of an average core Northerner.

I don't like to discuss politics that border on religion and ethnicity.
But it may interest you to know that the grudge of the northern Kaduna people against Sambo is his betraying them to become VP, paving way for a Christian from Kaduna South, to become governor for the first time. So it's not about his being Muslim or Hausa but allowing to happen what they have always guided against. That's their grudge against him. They see him as a betrayer, as a traitor, because of personal desire to become VP, he left the state in teh hnads of a Christian. That's their grudge against him. Like I have been saying, feelers from there have it that Sambo may not win in his Kaduna registration centre(although he can/should win in his native Zaria compound).

I cannot say for Katsina, that will be a had nut to crack but for Kaduna, well you cannot rule out SAMBO effect and the southern Kaduna influence.

Sambo my foot. Sambo is seen as a traitor in Kaduna and info I ahve over there has it that he may not even win his ward(in Kaduna).
Southern Kaduna? Yes, I know GEJ will make some impact there, but you know they are less than 35% of Kaduna population, the reason they have not been able to produce elected governor.

I still stand by my vow: If GEJ wins Kaduna, I'll resign as NL mod. I'm serious.

Omooba77:
Let Jonathan continue is the only one that can work with others, if he had not given amnesty to Ribadu, will he be talking about being the President, why did he ran away. If GEJ is withch haunting the man will be out.GEJ all the way Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, Adamawa, Rivers, Cross Rivers, Abuja, Nassarawa, Anambra (Apga), Imo, Enugu, Oyo, Yobe, Bauchi, Gombe,Katsina, Ebonyi,Abia,Taraba&Osun. All this state are home and dry for GEJ. Jigawa too! I will vote for him, God sparing my life!

[size=14pt]IF GEJ WINS THE BOLDED, I WILL RESIGN AS NAIRALAND MOD. Quote me.[/size]

agabaI23:
One problem I have with GEJ is romance with all the well know bad guys.
On a second thought I realised that he needs the political structures of these evil guys but still have serious followership to win. IBB has his die hard fans and  Atiku has his own structure and good followership
I do think it is wise for him to accommodate them to win and after which he will leave them for dead on the runway.
#Whether he will be able to do that is a matter for another.
I think he is just being wise. if this assumption is true and he can add some urgency when he gets elected, the he would have done well.

I honestly don't agree with you. I don't believe the end justifies the mean. The mean, like the end, should be clean. This is why Buhari is perhaps the only politician that has refused to join the corrupt men, all because he wanted to become president. GEJ should have steered clear of - or at least must be seen as such - the IBBs, Objs, Iboris, Alams, Tony Anenihs if he truly  wants to be seen as abhorring corruption.

fstranger3:
Common on Becomrichn, Engineering at Ilorin has never ranked in the top 5 In Nigeria. In Nigeria today, OAU still ranks best in Engineering, followed by Lag. If there is anything Lag is good at, it is Engineering, they have the most diverse courses and also parade top notch professors. OAU is only better because they attract the best brains in Nigeria and prolly the best lecturers too.

Ilorin sucks in Engineering.

But it produced Engr oyb for us o, one of the finest electrical engineers in corporate Nigeria
