PointB: That is the problem with some of you - you dont read. And when you do comprehension is a problem.

Must you steal to build a house? Are you implying that all the houses in Lagos and Abuja were built with stolen money, and owned by thieves? Or in your mind you believe it is right for a 70+ old man, who have worked for most part of his live, to live in penury?

Guy, his integrity is not the question here, but his foresight and ability to project into the future. In my books a 70 year old man who earned substantial remuneration all his life and is unable to put up decent home for himself and his children is a failure!

Buhari clearly could not take care of himself, he can't be expected to do so for Nigeria.

And this has always been the mind set of many Nigerians who think being wealthy and owning houses everywhere is a sign of prosperity!

Must one own a house or buy property? Your being myopic! Whatever Buhari chooses to do with his hard earn cash its his problem, not yours or anybodys.

In your own mind do you think Buhari is living in penury? And or course some the houses in Lagos and Abuja are not owned by thieves and who says Buhari doesn't own a home?

"In my books a 70 year old man who earned substantial remuneration all his life and is unable to put up decent home for himself and his children is a failure" that is according to you! We all view things differently! You should be more focus on a persons leadership ability than his earthly possessions!

PointB: How much was a plot of land in Abuja in the 70s and early 80s when buhari was in his prime? If Buhari has no house in Abuja, it has nothing to do with been clean or upright. Rather, it has more to do with been clueless, lacking foresight, and no ability to make realistic future projection.

After several years of (paid) service to Nigeria, not saving enough money to purchase a land and build house in Lagos and Abuja, it a thing of shame not of pride.

Clueless, visionless, dour folks like buhari will be a danger to Nigeria. His time has past, let him go and bite his finger for wasted opportunity. We need someone with new ideas in 2015!

Are you listening to yourself bro? So its a crime that he didn't steal money to build houses and buy land in every nook and cranny in Nigeria.

Can you compare the integrity of Buhari to that of GEJ and his cohorts? Even OBJ and Tinubu don't even have integrity as thick as that of Buhari.

Anyday anytime, Buhari's reputation makes him stand out better than many of those filthy PDP politicians!

Ngwakwe: I understand, your are not proud of your tribe.

That's Okay, next time appeal to the Man in the Sky for a change.

Am sorry to say bro but you are not patriotic! And am very very proud of my tribe.

Afam4eva: National affiliation nko?

Am afraid nothing like that exist in this country! Instead of people to think about what's good for the country, they think about what's good for them and their tribe.

Moderators allowing a thread to blossom this far that speak of the assasination of the President and Commander In Chief is outrageous!

I AM A NIGERIAN! Tribal affiliation is among the root cause of our problems owing to the fact that it promotes nepotism and mediocrity.

Why is it that those who occupy the locus of power in the muslim ummah are not putting a leash on Gumi's vocal cavity! His utterances are malevolent and can cause serious harm if left un checked!

Moderators why isn't this on front page?

Its a shame that a renown critic can become a consistent sycophant! How have the mighty fallen!

Marvelous, Bloody marvelous! Nice write up @poster.

kennytidistar: please attack issues stop attacking "person". Attacking person is a sign of loosing strenght in a contest, if you know your point is valid let your point win you the medals and not the person you attack.

And who told you am in a "contest" with anybody? When I engage In a debate or agrguement I do so to learn not to gain or loose strength, the person in question is someone I enjoy reading his arguement and I respect him a lot for his doggedness!

Sincere 9gerian: This report is misleading and mischievous. How can one reconcile the headline: "Presidency Begs Buhari To Settle Abati Libel Suit Out Of Court"
with the opening statement of the report : "The presidency has convinced former head of state General Muhammadu Buhari to settle out of court the libel suit"

Also how can one reconcile statements such as :
"But the lawyer to the first defendant (Abati), Dame Carol Ajie, declined to sign the document"
with the misleading conclusion that :

"The parties further agreed that Abati and The Guardian should retract and apologise to Buhari in certain form and contents"

How come the counsel of the same person that "begged" for out of court settlement now refuse to sign the out of court settlement document?

How can the parties "agree" when counsel to Abati did not sign the said document?

As far as I'm concerned, this scandalous report by Leadership news is a face saving ploy by Buhari.

As usual, I dont expect the apostles of Buhari to see these GLARING contradictions in the fallacious report.

They have in their characteristic manner, rolled out the drums to celebrate BROWN-ENVELOP-INDUCED and SCANDALOUS report.

"Face saving ploy by Buhari" Dude why would Buhari want to save face? Over what?

Sometimes I wonder the kind of homo sapien you are? As an inter locutor you sound very bright but sometimes I fail to understand your sense of reasoning and logic!

Look at your saviour GEJ and all the blunders he's been making since he became President! Imagine buying phones for farmers what does that tell you about him "clueless" I hesitate to say. And if he's so credible and full of integrity like you, Okupe, Abati and a host of others make us believe why doesn't he declare his assets?!

Only a man who has something to hide shy away from doing such! Atleast the Yar'Adua and Buhari you have so lampooned did so without scruples.

Mr Sincere 9gerian no offense, but am starting to believe your a paid GEJ supporter!

fydence: ...well your mother would happilly give u away again lyk she did at ur birth in that canoe if only she got to knw her 'son' was a self loathing hater, a waste of placenta,and a massive waste of the incomplete 7months she cld bear to carry u while slaving away in ur father's shrine... ur only inheritance by the way...and dude u need to step up these insults...is this the best u can do?! Smh4u

Jesus! Now I know your a certified nonentity! "Incomplete 7months"hehehehe abeg buzz off.

iphy42: Ask Diezeani

All attempts to reach the Minister have prove futile!

For some years now I've come to notice that kerosene has become far more expensive than fuel!

A litre of kerosene now sells for N130, some filling stations sell as much as N150 per litre. A litre of fuel is N97, while some filling stations even sell at N110 or N120 per litre. But however way the sell fuel, kerosene is far more expensive!

So I ask, how come Kerosene, (which is strictly for the masses) is more expensive than fuel?

fydence: ...it must hurt you so much....well that's something else transformers are for...GO HUG ONE!!...RSVP

Do you kiss your mother with that shit emitting hole you call a mouth? Dude you need pedagogy lobotomization prompto!

jmoore: it is easy to know the wealth of an individual because it is tangible, sadness is intangible. Suicide and sadness are interlinked which is very obvious. My point is that a good researcher should have used suicide rates as the top evidence of sadness. If they didnt use suicide rates then such a research is crap.

Given that a white man is more suicide prone than a black man you are trying to say the european and american countries should be ranked amongst the saddest countries?

Wealth is tangible? Does this also include the wealth of rogues?

Onlytruth: Presidential politics of 2015 has started, but while they are at it, they should leave Soludo alone. They should stop underestimating the intelligence of Igbo people in Nigerian dog politics. Nuff said.

I marvel at the level of narrow mindedness displayed here...

How many abandoned projects have we seen in Nigeria? Until the universities kick off with full force, until we have un interrupted power suppy, until our roads are good we are still were we are!

We should learn to start advoiding rhetorics!.

afam4eva: In other words, you're saying people should not express themselves.

People should express themselves, but not at the detriment of others, Nigerians love imitating just think how many people will imitate charly boy and his self styled alter ego, which is now becoming a norm in the entertainment industry cos some of our celebrities actually admitted to having alter egos ( I wonder if they really now the meaning of alter ego)
Same goes for Labaran Maku! Imagine saying GEJ brought facebook to nigeria, what kind of horse shit is that! Reuben Abati should be on that list along with our very own sincere 9gerian for being an advocatus diaboli(no offense bro).

jmoore: The climax of sadness is for one to commit suicide. How many Nigerians commit suicide in a year? Another false statement caused by "brain short circuiting".
Next time they will say Nigerian mothers are the most ugliest and some Nigerians will even agree. smh

if you are sad say "aye", if you are happy say "may God bless Nigeria"
May God bless Nigeria

I find your post illuminating! But then I wonder the gravity of what you said "the climax of saddess is for one to commit suicide" so I ask how many people committed suicide in the 1st country to be ranked by forbes?
This same forbes ranked Dangote as the richest man in Africa and we applauded, now the same forbes has come out to say we ranked the 20th saddest country and some of us are frowning... Happiness and saddess is a state of mind, just like poverty!

fydence: look at this testicular mistake blabbing as if he knows his father...*hopeless error of a blowjo.b* go ask ur mother hw u ended up a huge minus to humanity...Antelope

Perhaps I should ask your mother how she ended up giving birth to a certified ninconpoop? The amount of inane and mundane comments coming out of your gargantuan vocal cavity shows the kind of up bringing you were given. Asswipe!

any body who believes Nigeria is not plunging into confusion or state quagmire is seriously disillusioned! a close look at the happening around us suggests that living conditions is fast deteriorating... and people are suffering!

Sincere 9gerian: One cannot but note that so far even the most fanatic supporters of Buhari cannot supply us with concrete things Buhari intends to do if given presidential powers.

It appears that some persons intend to get the job first and learn on the job. No concrete plans to hit the ground running with new initiatives.

At best, we'll get continuation of what the incumbent is doing (justified by govt is a continuum) or worse we get truncation of some policies considered as anti-north in some quarters,eg PHCN privatisation.
The SUPER STORY of Buhari will "fight corruption" cannot sell again. When Nzeogwu and co slaughtered certain political leaders in 1966, they told the same SUPER STORY of wanting to "fight corruption"

..."In the name of the Supreme Council of the Revolution of the Nigerian Armed Forces, I declare martial law over the Northern Provinces of Nigeria....The aim of the Revolutionary Council is to establish a strong united and prosperous nation, free from corruption and internal strife....You are hereby warned that looting, arson, homosexuality, rape, embezzlement, bribery or corruption, obstruction of the revolution, sabotage, subversion, false alarms and assistance to foreign invaders, are all offences punishable by death sentence....Our enemies are the political profiteers, the swindlers, the men in high and low places that seek bribes and demand 10 percent; those that seek to keep the country divided permanently so that they can remain in office as ministers or VIPs at least, the tribalists, the nepotists, those that make the country look big for nothing before international circles, those that have corrupted our society"....Major Nzeogwu's Speech announcing Nigeria's first coup (circa noon, January 15, 1966, Radio Kaduna)

Bro you wait for 2015 presidential debate, there I believe Buhari would be glad to answer your questions

kingoflag: Go and google RONALD REAGAN then come back and tell me what you found out.

What am I s'pose to find out? That he's a better President than GEJ or he's ten times the man both GEJ and Buhari are?

PointB: I don't quite get why we should leave Buhari alone. A lot of Nigerians would certainly like to know what Buhari forgot in the State House, that corpers had to die because he lost election.

Bro was he the one who killed the corpers?

Sincere 9gerian: My friend, if you had been following my comments on this forum, you'd know that I dont pretend about anything. I say it the way it is or expected to be. A Buhari as president will MOST ASSUREDLY appoint an Alhaji as finance minister. Pure and simple!

Like your Profess saviour GEJ appointed a south south indegene as minister of finance right! Abegi bros... Jus so you know, you don't say things the way they are, you merely voice your opinions and undying support of PDP and GEJ led government!. There's a vast difference.

@Everyone believe me Buhari is no better than GEJ, our present crop of politicians are ten and tempest! They're all the same! What does a 70 years old man has to over? If this was the United States he'll be in a retirement home but he's here now contesting political power!

GEJ is no better than Buhari! We need to do away with all these old and corrupt politicians.

Sincere 9gerian: @Moderator,
front page pls!

Dude for the first time I was actually enjoying your thread until you said "which alhaji does he want to appoint minister of..." Then it hit me, your not only a tribalist but also a religious bigot.

Until people like you stop advocating tribalism and religious bigotry, meritocracy will never see the light of day!

inurmind: Being sarcastic, I'm an atheist, although he is my spiritual daddy.
Actually I call him that because he dedicated me. From a ''born-a-christian'' to a born again christian to an atheist.
Now isn't that a beautiful graduation.

This is the funniest thing I've heard in along time.

inurmind: You people should stop attacking my spiritual daddy o, anything he says is true and must not be questioned.

"Anything he says is true and most not be question?" Dude are you for real? Did you forget that the Boble says "test every spirit to know whether its of God?". Na wa for you oh...

mba emeka: Keep doing do the good work Mabell. Pastor would be proud of you. we are to reach the unsaved by every means possible.

Pastor would be proud of "you" what happended to God or Jesus? So Chris Oyakhilome has now become more important than God or Jesus? Father help us!
