ROTFLMAO

The man is becoming a real politician!

Well, he does sound good, if anything . . . But 'talking' no be 'doing'!

The guy is just after his pocket. He wants his own share.

fstranger3:
When did Ribadu become a senator?

I thought senators pass bills and presidents sign them?

This is how these charlartans and political jobbers expose themselves. He will "order" the law passed and when the senate and house refuse? He will simply bypass them. What a charade.

Please people let us be serious, their is only one choice for now GEJ/SAMBO.

All,

I got scared when I read the caption but when i saw Johndoe as the poster, i knew he/she or hermaphrodite has woken up this morning with another lie, propaganda! And I confirm his foolishness when I read it and I could not see something near to what his foolish mind has summarized. I even checked sun new papers where this report was taken from and what it has is 'God did not tell me to run'

This Johndoe is a jobless fellow and I wonder if he has an employer/customers. if he does, i pity them because they are being serviced by a clueless GEJ apologist who lacks any sense of judgement

Why do you feel the need to insult people needlessly? You are scared of our success, you think that just hurling insults will change anything? We are the team. we are the future.

I see that the ever partial moderators have changed the title I gave the thread. Well no problem, let's see if they can change the results of the election.

Dude, we know, from the way you come across, that if not for Gbawe that word would NEVER have been a part of your vocabulary.[/quote]I can see that you are still a small boy, this is one of the most pointless posts I have ever read.


What I am interested in is the greed and duplicity of THAT FAKE PASTOR BAKARE.

Mr Barzini:
GEJ Would win. Hands down

This is an intelligent post.

Gbawe:
Indeed. He is especially annoying because of how he parrots the notion , non-stop, that Nigerians who live outside Nigeria are somehow not Nigerian enough.

Someone who hates the Nigerians who live outside Nigeria , and wants them ignored , is already an unhelpful loser in our quest for a great and inclusive Nation where ability and hardwork determines your potentials to thrive ahead of anything else.

First, please quote me correctly, Internet Nigerians are NOT NIGERIANS. I have said this on numerous occasions. We do not share the same objective reality.

From the rant, I take it that you are an Internet Nigerian. Sorry, no wonder you have such strange views, and are asking us to hand ourselves and the country to the losers you support. Such suicidal views are why elections are limited to the RESIDENTS of this country.

@Gbawe

Nice speech, but as usual you twist the truth. Let's try it this way:

You and the other supporters of the jihadist Buhari are enemies of progress and confusionists. I can only hope , someday, you will see the shallowness of your obdurate support of those who , without doubt , have shown they do not have what it takes to move Nigeria forward. Your thinking and utterances , same as your co-travellers on Nairaland , would be mildly entertaining if some of us were totally ignorant of what obtains worldwide . It really is amusing , in a macabre way , how guys like you are wired mentally. You seem to have no problem with mediocre chancers experimenting with the future of Nigeria. This is why Nigerians remain an enigma to most non-Nigerians. It must be strange for some people to understand how so many ostensibly intelligent folks can jettison logic and blatantly ignore what is crystal clear to support what surely represents their own regression and damnation.

Please join the winning team:

ddc machine: @genbuhari3, why is it that when sm1 comment on his choice u go gaga?

What do you expect from Jihadists and their supporters? They tried to fool the country by bringing a fake pastor as VP aspirant, only for him to tell the truth, that really he just wants his share.

Kobojunkie:
Irrational Or too HONEST for your teeny brain there to wrap itself around? Again, make honesty your best policy this year and you might start to think more outside of that "Goodluck's arse I must kiss" box you continue to pretend you have to live in.

The sad truth is that your brain is so addled that you would not understand why we Nigerians do what we do. That being said, please leave us to do what we want, we know That GEJ is the best for us at this time.

Since you don't have a vote what are you after I wonder?

Kobojunkie: Are you really this silly a person? Who are you to decide what country I can comment or not comment on? If you do not know anything about me, why not mind your own life and business?

You brought your irrational comments to this thread, I don't see why I should stand by while you continously try and mislead Nigerians.


@ eku_bear

Is that the best you can do?

alj harem: guy you are not making sense here

you made a false title and you are defending it

you see how silly you sound,.,. mumu

How can the title be false? It is the title I gave the thread, and encapsulates the substance of the article.

That your powers of comprehension have been dimmed by years of humping cows and camels doesn't change that.

Kobojunkie:
"I Just want my own share"? Journalists ehn!!!! 
This should be what we ought all ponder as we cast our votes come April . . .  are we not best affecting CHANGE(POSITIVE) than continuing to leave our destiny in the hands of the very same that have run it in to the ground the last 12 years.

I wonder why you keep posting against us when you are not even a Nigerian? Isn't Obama in trouble? Please leave us alone we don't need your irrational and unjustified hatred for GEJ.

@all the above haters

If God did not send him, then he is just like every other political jobber  - OUT FOR HIS POCKET


He will never get near the treasury.

KnowAll:
Is Bakare a Political Liability riding on the goodwill of Buhari and the goodwill of the populace who see him as a upright, truthful and sincere fire brand preacher. Do you think Christians can vote en-bloc to support this two straight couples.

There are really no "Christians" as such in this country. There are Yoruba who are Christian, Igbo who are Christian, Northerners who are Christian etc etc. The ethnic identity comes before the religious one.

As I have always said, this guy is just like all the other hungry and greedy guys out there. At least he has now come out and said so himself.

He will never get near the national treasury.

As the 2011 presidential election gathers momentum, Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly and vice presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Pastor Tunde Bakare has said he never at any time said God told him to participate in the election. He said he was contesting the election based on a personal conviction and warned that no man should use the name of God in vain.

Bakare made the clarification while addressing members of   his congregation on his decision to get involved in partisan politics. He spoke during a service of the church yesterday in Lagos.
The preacher was nominated last week as the running mate of the former head of state and presidential candidate of the CPC, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) in the April 2011 election. His nomination and decision to go into politics had attracted mixed reactions across the country.

Rationalizing his decision to get involved in politics, Bakare said all it would take for evil to flourish in the land was for godly people to refuse to get involved in the political process. He said his involvement in politics would neither change his person nor his Christian faith. The Later Rain Assembly pastor stated that if anything, his decision to participate in the forthcoming presidential election would impact on the country positively.

According to him, “if Buhari wins,  we will make the difference. If he does not, Nigerian politics will not remain the same. We are going to influence the environment.”  Quoting copiously from various portions of the Holy Bible in a message entitled: A tale of  three priesthood, the fiery preacher said the bane of the nation had always been bad governance epitomised by corruption and other social vices.

Bakare said it was only when the righteous were in authority that the people could rejoice. But  that when the wicked were in authority, the people would groan. According to him, a wicked ruler in a country was like a bear on the prowl.  He wondered for how long Nigerians would continue to groan. Speaking further, he said a lot of people had expressed concern on how himself and General Buhari would get money to fund the campaign as both of them were known not to be billionaires.

The CPC vice presidential candidate said just as was the case during the election of President Barack Obama in America, they would be depending on the ordinary people to fund the campaign. He expressed optimism that the common people would be willing to support the campaign with the little they had because they would see a difference in the CPC team.

He said though the campaign had not started, he was already receiving support from Nigerians. According to him, about 600 Nigerians on the social networking site, facebook had volunteered to be part of the campaign to realize the Buhari/Bakare presidency. Bakare displayed before the congregation, a branded T. Shirt with the inscription ‘Buhari /Bakare 2011’, which, he said,  was  prepared by some individuals as part of their support to the CPC presidential ticket.

“Ordinary people will give us money because they will see the difference. By the Grace of God, we are going to raise standards. “The campaign has not started  and already they are volunteers.  We are going to dethrone money politics in Nigeria. We are not seeking power. We already have power.”

“It is a new day. The future is here. The hope that is shattered is returning to our country. This is going to be one of the greatest elections, because we are not depending on money bags but on God,” he declared.
He said though many had wondered whether it was possible for the shepherd of the church to shepherd the nation?

“A pastor can actually transit from leading a church to leading an entire country. Why die a local champion when you have the opportunity to reach an entire nation?” Bakare queried.  “Nigeria will be saved. Nigeria will be great in our time. It is time to pastor the nation. It is time to restore. Let’s build a great nation,” he urged.

Amhatu:
I beg to differ .  Our Former President , Umaru Musa Yar'Adua asked for  Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck hand in Partnership to help bring Nigerians together to bring the development of all Nigerians.   Also much needed Niger Delta Ministry was born  to handle the affairs of the Neglected Niger Delta. The very reason why  Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck is in Office is because of Our Former President , Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. 

So, it does not matter were you are from in Nigeria. If you respect Umaru Musa Yar'Adua than you also should respect  Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck.

On the issue of Zoning We should endeavor to reach admirable decisions such as if Umaru Musa Yar'Adua was still  in office today, it is possible he could be elected another four year term today. Henceforth lets be logical and let the issue of zoning  subside until the next  four year presidential Term, out of respect for Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and what he wanted to accomplish in partnership with Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck.

All Nigerians must support  Jonathan Ebele Azikiwe Goodluck, to help bring  security and developmnet for All Nigerians .

Amhatu W.

Very good post.

MAYOWAAK:
The proposed debate is already sending jitters down your spine because your beloved Jonathan with a questionable PH.D but has a smattering command of the English Language and his deputy Sambo who speaks passable English are no match for the eloquent and articulate duo of Buhari-Bakare.

Beef has a good point. Is is usual for running mates to take the lead? More importantly can someone who has been and seen himself as the alpha, now submit to being a "vice" Nigerian style? We shall see.

jason123:
Beaf, you and I know that GEJ would win this election, no one is arguing about that. Infact, anyone that believes anyother candidate would win is just deceiving himself. Okay, that's settled!
Now I want to ask you a question, Why do you support GEJ? Is the support based on regional or ethnic reasons, or he has done something tangible in this country? What Nlanders want is just a reason to support him. Please, I would be waiting for your answer.

Your question has already been answered partly :

Nsiman:
We have petroleum price stability and availability, our electricity needs has improve from 3,622mw to 3,800mw and today 4000mw, we now have direct flight to the US and Europe (no more drop here, pick there), we have the future of our petroleum industry secured ( nigerians will now be part of the industry) courtesy of petroleum industry bill (PIT), gej is democratic not dictatorial by nature etc etc etc

Beaf:
If he is interested in dialogue, the first thing to do is congratulate GEJ.

Very true, he is just a clueless person. However for the good of the party they should dialogue with him and bring him on board.

omegaman:
I doubt one fact in this report: how can Bakare be 55[/b]years when according to the same report the mother is [b]110[/b]years? Meaning she gave birth to Bakare at the age of [b]55. If this is true then this was the first miracle in Pastor Bakare's life because in his era of birth women got matured early, married early, and gave birth early and of course menopause set in well before 55 years.

The man is just an opportunistic liar.

Look who's talking about poverty!
Are you richer than ANY Igbo man?
Lazy a55.
Just try your nonsense and see.

My friend , you and I know that our boys dealt with you guys and you could open your mouth. Sometimes and for very specific reasons, I regret this amnesty thing.

But even now, if you try anything , you know what will happen.

Of course nobody dares another nonsense abandoned property in PH. Anybody who tries it risk extinction because Ndigbo will teach them a lesson. Any lazy !di0t waiting for abandoned property will wait for ever. 

Sorry, who do you think will or can be taught this lesson?

I think it is good that APGA is adopting GEJ. It makes for a more solid base across the whole of the south.

Muza:
Buhari has been a GOC,pioneer chairman of NNPC,Minister of petroleum,head of state,Chairman of PTF and so many other top positions.
Buhari does not have a house in Lagos or Abuja,he has only two houses,a modest one in Kaduna and another in his village daura which he inherited from his father.
Gen Buhari does not own a filling station not to talk of an oil well.the first lady by her asset declaration is far richer than Buhari not to talk of her husband, both of whom have not half the positions Buhari has held.some commissioners,house of assembly members,local govt chairmen are richer than buhari not to talk of Sinators,Representathieves,Govs,Ministers etc,this are the same people than want the status quo to be maintained,so the can continue to steal with impunity,how can GEJ do in 4yrs what his party could not do in 12,lets not be so gullible and fool ourselves or allow them to take your for a ride again.
Wouldn't u be happy to see those theiving politicians behind bars,light,rule of law etc, vot Buhari-Bakare

Yes, and he can run for president numerous times, pay for court cases all on his modest income. Please tell us where he gets this money from?

Righton:
If Bakare says that no, let us do it this way, because God told me
What will happen?

Bakare will never be asked in the first place. He is trying to be VP. A VP to an egomaniac like buhaari-bin-laden will be window dressing.

[quote author=eku_bear link=topic=598231.msg7662377#msg7662377 date=1296764994]Goodthief Jonathan!

No wonder his Bayelsa state is so backwards. He stole all the money that was supposed to be used to develop it.[/quote]Maybe you should not speak on things that you don't know about.

No one really knows how buhari makes his money or who funds his campaigns. It would not surprise me if he is funded by some outside Islamic people / organizations,

Genbuhari3:
Ideas please! not junks!

Well he can defect to PDP. We will make him a minister of state. Bakare can be a director in the Mint.

Jarus:
Well, my spirit and hope diminished the day I read about CPC/ACN alliance's collapse. If both had combined, I would have voluntarily gone extra miles to work for him. But the reality is neither of CPC nor AC can dislodge PDP alone. My spirit has been dampened and it will be a miracle(and that rarely happens) for BB ticket to win. AC will spoil the vote in NW while Shekarau and his ANPP will be another spoiler in Kano, votes that should easily go to Buhari. It's a pity.

Anyway, before my spirit about the whole thing got punctured, I had written in newspapers and news sites, arguing for a Buhari presidency. I will still try and do more even in this low mood. But at worst, he has my vote, that of my wife, a few friends and brothers that are going to see reason in me. I will also spare the time and resource to call as many people as I know on election eve and let them see reason why they should vote for BB the next day. Most of them trust me and will be easily convinced. I may get him about 50 votes. That is my contribution.

Even combined they stood only a marginal chance at best.

50 wasted votes, be fair to them let them vote for FRESH AIR!!!!

Just saw this thread. I must say, the buhari-bin-laden crowd is being honest for once.

They are clueless and out of ideas. Sadly no matter the ideas given here the truth is that buhari-bin-laden won't win.

You can take heart, his being a perpetual candidate means you all can try again next time.

oziomatv:
Please someone correct me on the above bold statements.
 His mother 110yrs. still living,  he's 55yrs. now, meaning his mother gave birth to him at the age of 55yrs.  

When you are dealing with liars  who are also fanatical lunatics, you must expect that they believe that their audience are stupid.

ayubam:
Such an unfortunate liar. Under what platform did he stand for LGA chairman and which Local Govt, ?

He stood for Abeokuta LGA. Please confirm this. He himself told everyone.

He could not win election in his LGA, now he wants us to give him VP

Bakare's mother gave birth to him when she was 55.

These people think we are stupid, no they think we are the gullible members of a born again church. How can a failed LGA chairman candidate now want to be VP?
