We are sick and tired of hearing the same old repeated vagaries.

In a country of about 170million plus, is Buhari and Jonathan the best we can present?

Buhari is a delusional professional election runner and a serial loser. He and his followers are doing what they does best; dream about their imaginary landslide victory without any meaningful campaign, run, lose and then whine. 4 yrs later the circle continues. He really can't see the handwriting on the wall. Nigerians are no longer interested in coup plotters. His "Born to rule/win" idiocy is a serious impediment to his sense of judgement.

As for Jonathan, to say he is clueless is an understatement, his political advisers are not doing him any good. When he won the 2011 election a lot of folks were hopefully that change has come to our Great nation. After all he wasn't among one of the elitist, he was the professor without no shoes. We waited for almost 4yrs now, without seeing any tangible change. Having said the above, he tried in some field like agriculture, (education) opening of new university, including the almanjiri school up north. Who knows maybe if not for the Boko Haram insurgency up north, we would have felt some positive impact from his administration.

All in all, Nigerians deserve better than this lot.

We are deserve better. But sticking to the same person I don't think we taking that bold step. And I think u need to get educated more

Caseless:
you are right in a sense. But whoever falls for these and use them as reasons not to want to vote for change or buhari, then, i think most Nigerians need mental check-up.

Bro Many needs oo can u imagine some ppl support Tribalism. It's finished

I saw this Article here on NL. I just want the world to see it. Pls Support by Rebroadcasting
Mubi,the biggest commercial town in Adamawa state, was thrown into chaos the day
Boko Haram descended on them and the people found themselves running for their lives.
The terrorists shot sporadically, killing a lot of people while those who could escape
jumped into any available car to run to safety.
Christians,Muslims, Igbos, Yorubas, Tivs, Hausas and any tribe or religion,
jumped onto any vehicle that was headed outside the town.
Soldiers scampered onto trucks with civilians, begging to be saved,
hundreds of people who could not get a vehicle ran into the hills.
In their frantic effort to stay alive, no one paid attention to anybody's religion
or ethnicity before asking them for help or helping them to stay alive.
It was a community of people, united by their desire to
escape the common enemy that hunted them all without discrimination.
Ethnicity and religion vanished, all they were left with was their humanity. Those climbing the hills stayed
together, helping one another stay on their feet
as they all tried to survive.

The most interesting part of the narrative is that
the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Badeh is from the same town of Mubi.
It has been reported that few hours before the attack, helicopters flew in and evacuated his family
members from the town. The chief of Defence staff by the way,
is the most senior military officer in Nigeria and he controls the army, navy and air force. Before that sad day,
someone from Mubi would have boasted that
the Chief of Defence Staff is from their home town.
But on the day that it mattered the most, he
evacuated only his family members and abandoned everyone else to their fate.
It means he had information of the Impending attack and
as the most senior military commander,
he did not fly into the town to lead his men to battle to defend his community.
He quietly saved only his family and left even
the soldiers without an inspiring commander to
motivate them to engage the terrorists and defend his community.

One lesson all Nigerians must learn from this
story is that as a people, all we have is our neighbours. When you need some help at home,
you knock on the door of your neighbour. The president, governor, senator or minister is not
there to help you. Why then should you continue
to fight your neighbour because of a man or
woman who cares only about his own family?
Our elites may deceive us about sharing the same religion or ethnicity with us,
but time and again, they have proven that they do not care.
We have been fools, killing one another on the
basis of religion and ethnicity while they stay
united across all the divides and plunder our wealth.

The time has come for us to rise, educate one another and unite to fight our biggest common enemy.
The politicians are our enemies and not the poor struggling men and women in our neighbourhoods.
What now will the people of Mubi boast about as
the gain of having their son as the chief of Defence Staff? If you go to Otueke where Jonathan comes from, there are many people
who live in excruciating poverty!
There is still a lot of poverty and suffering in the home towns of all our governors, ministers,
parliamentarians and former presidents, while they and their families live in scandalous affluence.
The minister of petroleum spent over 10 billion Naira on a private jet. That money can end the poverty of several communities in her state.
Stella Oduah bought two cars with 120 million Naira while there are people in her home town
who can't afford 500 Naira to feed their family in a day.
The time to throw away the sentiments is now!
Support only a man or woman who has a just
heart and will serve everyone and every community regardless of if they come from there
or not. The moment anyone begins to talk to
you about religion or ethnicity, reject him.

summarily!
We need leaders who will unite us because our shared humanity is greater than any differences between us.
And if someone does something wrong or fails in governance, do not support them simply because they're your own

Nice move my brothers in borno ... we are praying for here... God would strengthen U more
God bless unitednigeria.

Rexxie:

I concur to the post above me!!! GMB is not a saint as you all think he's... Neither is GEJ.. He's evil too I agree.. We need a total change in this country..

These past Leaders have failed us and they will fail again,they only want to remain in power so as to perpetuate more evils and gain control over the Economic resources of our dear country..

Truly they say!!! Power is sweet,and that's y these failed and corrupt leaders still want to be in power and keep destroying this country.

so we should stick to GEJ n keep dreaming for total change. Change is not Magic. It happens Gradually. If we boot out GEJ nw. The next person would b Under pressure to perform. If he doesn't perform then we boot him out.


Change until u get the Change we all deserve

How do I support disunity? How does clamoring for equity translate to supporting disunity? Honestly I do not understand where u're coming from. I wouldn't mind if u can throw more light on that ur ill-conceived statement.

How does having a fashola candidacy instead of a buhari equate to disunity? Something is definitely wrong somewhere. May God help us!

What is this thread preaching. Tell the World...

fx45:
I asked a good question and u've carefully avoided it. Till u answer that question, I don't want to see u post any other thing on nairaland.

On the contrary u're the one doing urself the gravest of all injustice and disservice of all time. Self-deceit is the worst offence u can commit against urself. U're wallowing in self-deceit and u seem to be very good at it. I think u need to sit back and think about urself and start asking questions.... Before it becomes too late. A word is enough for the wise

The Disunity u support is one of Nigeria's Major Problem

Osakah24:
All the powerful people who have looted
and ruined Nigeria are in PDP. They obviously
want to enjoy their loot in peace without the
interference of a no-nonsense Buhari.
Sorry to bursts your bubble,They are now with buhari in APC. One wonders how a self acclaimed Mr. Pius will be comfortable in the midst of all those corrupt ex pdp members.where 9 mad men and one sane man passes together, what we know is that ten mad people just passed. Same goes to thieves.

sure, But Buhari has an awesome record with Corrupt Criminals, 146 dnt forget
