Carlyscales: Sorry he n his party doesn't have d structure, people n finances.
The real mass people that decide this election do not know Oby n Sowore. Neither do they even have a smart phone
I understand ur passion and line of reasoning. U n other well meaning Nigerians are in the ideal world but the reality is as illustrated below:
Having lived, schooled n worked in all parts of Nigeria. I can tell u that the block votes of northern n southern followers of Buhari will remain intact. Example is if u have ever tried convincing a supporter of Buhari??
But it's d vote of most Nigerians (me n u) that are fed up with Buhari n Atiku that will be divided amongst Moghalu, Sowore, Ezekwesili, Durotoye, Hashim etc
Infact how many of these mushroom political parties have any meaningful structures in d North? They should go to the North and converse for votes now( after all NW has the highest no of eligible voters naa)
Hence In this election any vote that is not for PDP, is a vote for Buhari.
Now looking at Hashim, Oby, Moghalu, Sowore and others sef: They want to rule Nigeria but can't even amongst themselves get a consensus candidate for maximum impact at the pools. Even their umpire Oby is now also contesting.
No matter how good, spiritual, tongue n sweet talking u are as a young pastor no big n serious church will just call u n make u their senior pastor. U gat to start from small or their village church work d ropes, earn their trust n Work ur way up. So I strongly believe some of these young talking strong chaps should start from like Senate, HOS etc.
Y is everyone irrespective of tribe n religion hailing d choice of Peter Obi as running mate today in Nigeria. Simply that he has passed his exams as a state Gov period. He vowed by d time he's done with reforms in secondary schools in d state , many Anambrians with all money to afford private schools will have to withdraw their wards from private to secular schools due to improved standards. And that actually happened B4 he finished his second term.
So with all due respect to them none of these parties have what it takes to dislodge Buhari in 2019. Because they simply don't have d structures n people. In every nook n crannies of this nation u will find APC n PDP people. Did know that in Osun rerun election, one of d observers was describing a polling unit that's far away from d village n like 30min trek into d bush. It's that serious my dr.
They be serious n patrioticoo, with capacity as well oo. But there coming out now is foolish. Because they are still working to d benefit of Buhari indirectly.
So obviously, Atiku may not be the best candidate amidst all the political aspirants but he's d only that has what it takes to dislodge Buhari in 019
Just look at d results in Edo, Ekiti n Osun it's still PDP n APC. Even SDP that made some impact in Osun was all about Omisore than SDP. That's y when it came to selling votes he went ahead and sold to d highest bidder with any regards or respect to d natl leadership of SDP.
The ideal is that with Moghalu, Oby, Datti Ahmed etc as president n our leaders. Nigeria will turn around. But the reality is that Nigerians are not moved by ideas but by their needs n stomachs. And u can't expect more with the level of poverty in this country. Poor people are simply moved by their stomachs and so is Nigerians, a pity though.
But the way forward is simple: If Buhari n APC Know that Nigerians can reject them after 4yrs, will they be denying promises they made B4 elections n taking Nigerians for granted
So I say since the nijja politicians don't owe allegiance to any political ideologies or convictions. I say let d voters be the same(not supporting any party or candidate blindly) by changing them (party n presidents)
PDP failed we sent them packing. Now APC has failed let's booth them out n bring back PDP. If Atiku fails send him packing n bring back APC. That's how it's done in US where we borrowed ours democracy from - switching between Democrats n Republicans. If every of our politicians n party know that they can loose after 4yrs. No one will tell them to sit up n deliver good governance period.
do you know that, the time you spent in typing all this criticism, you could have used it to win 10 people for Sowore in your area... but no.. the only thing you can do is discourage people and kill dreams... I keep saying, our major problem is not leadership, but people like you...
pathetic people, mentioning those 2 old and tired men as if they are the only Presidential candidate... very wrong... this is democracy, there should be equality, if you wont project the names and picture of other candidates, then you shouldn't mention those 2 old men...
seriously this cancer of eaten deep into our society... no fairness.. #Sowore2019 #AACparty
sorry1: Yoruba people that lack respect for elders... Nawa oh
the Oni is 45yrs Sowore is 47yrs... talking about elders...
that is not even the main issue.
The Oni came late to a meeting scheduled for 12noon, by coming by 3pm... which is very uncivilized , Sowore who is known for calling a spade a spade, irrespective of who is at the receiving end.
Despite that, he later prostrated and payed homage to the king.
Sowore is not the kind of person who will allow you to ridicule him because he is contesting for an election, unlike how the old politicians usually do... And Nigeria deserve this kind of leader.
people who understand nothing about government will just open their mouth and be claiming right...
Note: I don't endorse this present administration, My support and vote goes to Omoyele Sowore.
what the vice president did is not wrong... this is simply called " DELEGATED LEGISLATION" , which is normal in a Democratic society... the only thing he can do is to prove he used the money for the appropriate cause... which is normal...
B All I know is that Buhari is going back to Daura
We are Obidiently Atikulating 2019
very stingy and selfish of you,
you don't care?
the same way Nigerians didn't care in 2015, they just wanted Jonathan out, without thinking of whom they were voting,
you probably didn't care then.
today, death, violence, hunger, obey, poor infrastructure, fake empowerment program, no regard for citizens, marginalization, oligarchy.. is the other of the day
now, you still don't want to care...
then you will probably be happy tomorrow, when Atiku wins tomorrow and he is to old to meet up with matter arising, and emergency issues due to the sensitivity of presidential seat.. you will probably be happy, when wealth meant for development of the country, are siphoned to recover the money he spent to bribe people during election...
" I don't care attitude is killing the country , and we fuel them " ...
it's just so painful seeing Nigerians live like this with I don't care behaviour.. really sad and painful
gentlegenius: People like you are consumers of political lies... That is why old men like OBJ and Lie Muhammad will continue to say whatever they like, knowing too well that you will swallow it hook, line and sinker. Reasonable people ask questions before swallowing political lies. When they tell you that Atiku is corrupt and has been stealing government funds to enrich himself, you should ask questions like: HAS ATIKU EVER OCCUPIED A PUBLIC OFFICE WHERE HE WAS SIGNATORY TO ANY GOVERNMENT ACCOUNT? Sensible people know that you cannot have access to, let alone steal government funds when you are not a signatory to government account. Buhari has been a signatory to government account on many occasions, yet you people claim he's a saint. OBJ was a President, and a number signatory to FG account for 8 years, yet you guys believe him when he wrote that Atiku, his VP was the one that embezzle govt funds. When will you guys learn to ask questions before swallowing lies? How did we even get here?
who ever thought you about signatories, forgot to tell you that, every office has its budget, including office of the vice president...
one question I have being asking all Atiku supporters, and I haven't gotten an attempt from them to answer the question is... what did Atiku achieved as VP for 8yrs, since to guys claim he has experience... what did he do with the budget allocated to his office.
jaxxy: And u think sowore as rude and crude as he is good enough? Sm1 who goes about disrespecting everybody when he hasn’t even tasted power, when he taste power he will walk all over us. It seems u don’t know how power works. Don’t we have anymore credible people in the country?
My vote for Atiku is based on two factors he is capable of winning and he’s ready to work with the right people. Apc is too rigid and think the only smart people in this country are Apc members or smtn hence many power choices.
Atiku can revive the economy and curb corruption he has my vote.
jaxxy: I believe he is correct and the time will come bt this is not the time.
Also it’s not just about recycling leaders we can have new faces and even have worse governance. It’s more about having credible Leadership be it old or new face.
I believe there is a man prepared by history and destiny for the job at hand.
thank God you said credible, what's credible about Atiku with his 8yrs in government
what's credible about spending 41bilion naira to bribe during primary?
seriously, what's edible about Atiku?
you claim you want a country where you stop recycling leaders and you say not now... then when..
if life haven't though you that the best time to start achieving is now..
if life haven't thought you that procrastination is an enemy of progress..
I don't know what will...
as for me I refuse to give up on the movement. #sowore2019
I stand with sowore for, 2019. sincerely speaking this is the only guy serious with this presidential campaign... others are in their comfort zone... and expect Nigerians to just vote for them, is not problem.
I don't think I have ever seen any politicians going to a lot of rural areas all over Nigeria, talking to the Nigerians he want to serve...
Whobedatte: She sounds promising , educated , result oriented and highly exposed . But the way the country is being set up, Technocrat s like OBY may never have a shot at the presidency seat .
iyke926: You can't be elected because you are a woman, you not a Muslim and finally an Igbo.
Muslims see women as sh!t. A slave. For you to win massively up North you must perform an exceptional miracle for the almajiris and Mallams to believe you.
You are a great woman who would have made a good leader in an horrendous country filled with unintelligible youths.
Hello, why not just speak for yourself and let her campaign to them... the question you should ask yourself... Are you going to use your vote to endorse those 2 ambassadors of poverty and corruption.
Limitednow: Ezekwesili, your chances of becoming President not feasible because up Nigeria's North they do not allow women to rule over men just like in western world and you can't be president without their votes.
That's the bitter truth members of your party won't tell you.
Oga, don't speak for everyone, speak for yourself... are you going to use your vote to endorse those 2 stagnancy ambassador in APC and PDP.
All this old people that don't want Nigeria to progress, if you don't repent, God will trouble you to death...
So, he is even admitting that atiku is corrupt, and some Young Nigerians that were busy shouting not too young to rule, months ago are shouting Atikulooted... seriously who did this to Nigerians... why will we use our own hand to endorse a candidate that is not credible... God give Nigerians sense oooo...
DamienW: Sorry sir. Fela did no such thing. He has NEVER supported Buhari nor did he endorse any candidate in the 2015 elections All he said was VOTE YOUR VALUES You can watch it here
sorry sir, you don't really know him, before durotoye made intention to run, his first statement was that , he was one of the people who contributed to the success of Buhari Victory in 2015, and he has seen his mistake and want to make it right.. you can google out durotoye involvement in Buhari victory in 2015... he was actively involved.
Anyway if you wish to support him, fine... my major aim is power do not return to those two enemy of Nigeria ( APC and PDP)... God bless our youthful struggle to take Nigeria back from gerontocracy and morontocracy to Democracy.
The constitution states that DIGNITY OF LABOUR will be among the listed virtue of Nigeria. That has being a lie, labour is not dignified, * civil servant are paid peanut , compared to what they deserve * the private sector extort workers, imagine a teacher being paid 10,000-15,000 naira monthly.. * you work as a sales person, resume 8am - 6pm everyday, and at the end your boss will lackadaisically pay you,... This set of people constitute the sub structure of the society, the masses, but they get cheated, to them, labour is not dignified, both the private and public sector makes labour almost a dismal thing in Nigeria.
But the few people at the superstructure, don't sweat to get their million salary and million allowance... and they will come and tell you, that they are working for you...
Who is deceiving who? are they working for you or for themselves... Let's be honest with ourselves, this country have being Stolen from us.
That is why we need to take it back. #NigeriaDecide2019
HungerBAD: Whoever controls the middle, controls the Federal Might.
And this is what FEDERAL MIGHT looks like. When the Federal Government is ready for an individual, or any State, this is how it usually looks like. And i refer this to those people living in Rivers State that keep boasting that Rivers is not Ekiti.
But again, i give it to the people of Ekiti State. The Yoruba's are a smart race,and even if there were reported cases of ballot snatching and money sharing here and there. No life in Ekiti State was lost. These guys have come to realize that no politician is worth losing their live's for.
If you die for a Politician, you have just wasted your life for nothing.
I am advising those in Rivers State specifically, and some in the East that are quick to want to die for a political party, or even a particular politician,or even something as petty as IPOB. We dont't even remember the names of those anymore that died for that same cause you want to carry on your head just one month ago, let alone those that died last year.
Be smart like the people of Ekiti State, and allow the Politicians slug it out themselves.
are you OK?? do you read the news at all? is it the same ekiti election that they killed people. try and use the google and have some sense before throwing ethnocentrism
