Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition. - Wole Soyinka

What are you even talking about? You opened the thread, but I don't think yourself read through it.

Read bro, and be enlighten.

Now i know better, even though i have known deep down in my heart that Buhari is not the messiah his followers will want us to believe, i'm all the more convince that, Buhari is a wolf in sheep clothing.

I am saying that the mistake of picking Jonathan as vp should never be repeated. The apc will pick a credible yoruba technocratic that is ready to shoulder the onerous task of restoring our country to sanity. Sambo is just a jobless lightweight who like obj cannot even win his ward. His wife has to hide so her level of education will not highlight the dames deficiencies. It is a sign of weakness that a president cannot work with a strong deputy. Buhari will not make that mistake.

Yeah, I get you, but the only technocrat i see among the pack of wolf is Fashola, the rest are as weak as they come. And i 'm not seeing APC machinery picking Fashola for the VP slot, which will very unfortunate.

Military Mafia indeed!

Good giving back to society, especially the less privilege.

Great for him, but a few wrong bets and it is all wiped out tomorrow. Best to go out and buy hard assets like property which do have long term value.

He has not yet reached his 18th birthday.

But Mohammed Islam, from Queens, New York, has already made an estimated $72million - from trading stocks on his lunch breaks at school, according to New York magazine's Monday issue.

The 17-year-old, who started dabbling in penny stocks at the tender age of nine, spends most of his breaks at Stuyvesant High School trading oil and gold futures, and small to mid-cap equities.


Outside of school, he often takes his friends out to dine at Morimoto on 10th Avenue, where they feast on $400 caviar, expensive dishes and freshly-squeezed apple juice.

During an interview for the magazine;s 10th annual 'Reasons to Love New York issue', Mohammed refused to disclose his exact net worth, but he admitted it was in 'the high eight figures'.

The successful teenager revealed he had used his incredible wealth to purchase a BMW - which he does not yet have a license to drive - and rent a Manhattan apartment.

However, his parents, who are immigrants from the Bengal region of South Asia, will not yet allow him to move out of their family home in Queens, according to the New York Post.

Mohammed has also taken to social media to show off his well-funded, lavish lifestyle - regularly posting videos of him partying, playing poker and dancing with numerous women on Instagram.

His hard-earned cash has certainly been beneficial to his parents. 'My dad doesn't work now and I tend to help out with things, and futures gives me that incentive,' said the student.

But despite its advantages, Mr and Mrs Islam are not overly keen on their son's interest in trading.

'My dad doesn't like [finance] that much,' Mohammed, who has written the phrase, 'More money, less problems', on his Instagram profile, said in an ISSUU interview.

'He says he is ok with me trading, but my mom is skeptical about the market. But they see it as, if I am good at it, then why not?'


A year after he started experimenting with penny stocks, Mohammed was introduced to further financial markets by his cousin. He has since developed a 'life-long passion' for trading.

'What makes the world go round? Money,' he said. 'If money is not flowing, if businesses don’t keep going, there’s no innovation, no products, no investments, no growth, no jobs.'

On his LinkedIn profile, the student said he rose to success while trading stocks during his lunch breaks because he 'followed the market, hunted for opportunities and used everything from fundamental analysis to technical analysis and price action to speculate in the markets'.

After having high returns in penny stocks, he moved on to small-mid cap equities, then derivatives, before feeling out the futures market and specializing in oil and gold, he said.

He added he has now developed 'a passion for understanding the markets and a passion for making money', and trades 'mainly based on volatility and volume'.

During his interview with New York magazine's, Mohammed revealed his biggest inspiration in the finance world has been Paul Tudor Jones.

Jones, 60, the billionaire founder of Tudor Investment Corporation, a private asset management firm and hedge fund, ranks as the 108th-richest American, according to Forbes.

Mohammed said that while he had been 'paralyzed' by his losses when he first started trading, he quickly learned from Connecticut-based Jones's ability to get back into the game again and again.

'I had been paralyzed by my loss,' he said. 'But [Jones] was able to go back to it, even after losing thousands of dollars over and over.'


Speaking to Business Insider, he added: 'Jones’s personality and technique are what make him so successful and I aspire to become even one per cent of the man he is.

'He went through obstacles, yet still came out on top'

And despite his massive fortune, Mohammed has no plans to give up trading just yet.

The teenager said he and his trader friends hope to start a hedge fund in June - when he is old enough to get his broker-dealer license - and intend to make a billion dollars by next year.

This, of course, will all be done while attending college.

'It’s not just about the money,' said Mohammed, whose ultimate goal is to pave a path in the financial industry that will enable him to become a reputable hedge fund manager.

'We want to create a brotherhood. Like, all of us who are connected, who are in something together, who have influence.'

Thanks for sharing.

People should be watchful especially in the ember month.

All i know is that American foreign policy is a mess. Look at this way;

Th US is so screwed up they don’t even know who to support anymore.

They took out Gaddaffi, look what that got them and Libya Will never be the same.

They want to kill the Syrian government forces but so does ISIS. That means they 're on the same side as ISIS in Syria.

But they need to kill ISIS because they want to kill their friends in Iraq...

Iran wants to kill ISIS in Iraq and in Syria. That means the U.S have to align themselves with Iran in Iraq but oppose them in Syria.

Their NATO ally, Turkey, wants to kill the bad Kurds but might help the good Kurds...

Everybody except ISIS wants to kill Khorasan.
If the Kurds were to win against ISIS they would then attack the Iraqi forces. That would be rout because we all know the Iraqi military won’t fight. They proved that in both the Bush wars by surrendering by the thousands and by throwing down their weapons and fleeing from ISIS.


Now Obama wants to train 5000 butchers, bakers and candlestick makers so in 6-12 months they can kill 40,000 ISIS members then kill Assad’s army, and maybe flip a coin to see which Kurds they kill.

What a mess of a foreign policy.

Yaradua allowed Obj to give him an olofofo vp. Now see the mess we have all entered! It matters.

Are you insinuating that Buhari will not complete his term in office and his VP will take over the affairs of the nation just like Jonathan? That's if he wins come 2015, which i'm sure he wouldn't...

Of course, there are many Buhari supporters who champion his historical anti-corruption stance as a valuable requirement for the office of president, but these supporters conveniently ignore his historical inhumane actions—or sweep it under the rug of collateral damages. Buhari himself has not come out to apologise—hypocritically or truthfully—for the misdeeds of his administration.

In any case, these arguments about Buhari’s character are practically moot at the moment: now, Buhari has come to represent a flag for Nigerians who are strongly opposed to the continued administration of the present occupants of Aso Rock.

Nigerians may consider Buhari as the default alternative to Jonathan, but we still ought to make him work for his votes. He has old questions to answer, and new realities to deal with: an economic agenda in a globalised world—one far removed from the realities of the 1980s—for example. But maybe Buhari has no time for all that grammar, maybe he has simply come to continue his crusade against corruption through a new police state.

We don’t know.

Is the removal of Jonathan’s inefficiencies worth the risk of a Buhari autocracy? Will Fela Kuti, Tai Solarin, Sam Mbakwe, Adekunle Ajasin, Ambrose Alli, Solomon Lar and all others who understand the consequences of Buhari’s personal wrath approve this potential re-entry into the late 1980s?

We don’t know.

These are questions Nigerians will probably have to come back to in 2019. Right now, a fair number of Nigerians just want Goodluck Jonathan out of office, and Buhari is their default option. As a friend says: “It’s a very dangerous place to be.”

But it’s also a desperate one—no thanks to President Goodluck Jonathan.

Because we have every right to know about the character, inclinations, morality, precedents,antecedents, everything about the man that wants to be the president of Nigeria. Or is the question too difficult? You can even help him if you like.

Succinctly put.

The gimmick all this politician use can be depressing at times, instead for them to lay bare their manifesto and tell us how they are gonna transform the economy, create jobs for the youth, improve security et al, they are busy telling us how much they have in their bank account.

And some people will want to convince us that, this is the messiah Nigerians have been waiting for. I doubt much

chamboy:
Can't PDP apologist try more to Give reasons Why ppl should Vote for GEJ than Spoiling another Party's Candidate

Hah! You have said it all, this is beyond "spoiling another party's candidate" as you said. These are credible indictment on Buhari's credibility.

I'm beginning to think that Buhari is not the Messiah Nigeria needs after all. He is more or less the same people that ruled us before.

Fela said it already. "The same politician wey rule us before".

These are plausible indictment on Buhari, where are the APC folks to come clear their masters. Neutrals like us need to be convince beyond every reasonable doubt before we can vote. Else, we will vote for the devil we already knows.

Whatever...!

Where is pics?

He is right, just because someone made a blanket statement, doesn't mean you should start casting aspersions towards the rest of the Igbo folks.

Is it all Yoruba that support Buhari? I think not.

Btw, everybody has the right to pitch their tent where they think is better for them, we much not all support one party. If we do, where is the democracy we all preach about?
