That's a classic example of democracy at work. GEJ is a Democrat. He believes in free and fair elections. He doesn't believe in rigging and imposition. Something OBJ and Tinubu are known for.

Do not be fooled by Buhari's little gimmick of "Am Poor" tactics. The guy is totally corrupt. It was under his watch as Petroleum Minister that the sum of N2 billion Naira = $3 billion dollars mysteriously got missing in 1978.
By the time you convert the sum of $3 billion dollars adjusted to inflation of 2014, we will be talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. Buhari is a classic case of a serial looter in Poor camouflage.

Buhari after Atiku, IBB and Obasanjo, is the most notorious THIEF!

Now, some are lapping up the fable that if Buhari comes in as President, corruption and embezzlement in high places would come to an end. But I think this is like the story of the child and Santa Clause. That reality does not exist now or in the future, because the reality of who Buhari is has been shown to us through his real actions, not by the pictures and images being put out there by his spin-doctors and uncritical supporters. Should I start with the scandal of the N2.8 billion NNPC money that got stolen under his watch as Petroleum Minister and head of NNPC in 1978? Let’s bear in mind that the value of that money in hard currency at the time was more than $3 billion. Under intense public pressure, the Shehu Shagari government, which shortly took over thereafter from the military, set up a Senate probe which traced the money to a London Midland Bank account belonging to Buhari from where the money again got missing. No less than a person of the then Senate Majority Leader and Chairman of the Senate probe panel, Dr Olusola Saraki revealed this in an interview with Vera Ifudu of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA). When Ifudu reported this, she was clandestinely sacked by the NTA, but the lady went to court and presented all the evidence and won in a case of wrongful dismissal. Saraki till his death never denied what he told the lady. In the end, they settled Ifudu with a big payout to buy her silence.

If there's gonna be apologies from anyone it must be from non other person but the cattle rearer himself, Buhari. He must ask for forgiveness from all Nigerians for truncating democracy 30 years ago. Because of him, Nigeria is 20 years backwards.

sweetpenis:
This is how leaders should speak....unlike GEJ who lacks confidence

And Buhari got swag and confidence? Did you watch his interview? If you didn't then log on to YouTube. The dude looks very cluelessness and confused.

A vote for Buhari is a vote for backwardness and cluelessness. Look at what he did in 1983? Because of him Nigeria got dragged 20 years backwards.
Forward ever backwards NEVER!

A vote for Buhari is a vote for Cluelessness and Confusion. He got nothing to offer.

For your info, some of us are ready to be islamized if that would change our hopeless situation in this country

Boko alert!

BackDatAssUp:
I want us to stop exports totally and make it illegal for any govt or private company or individual to export crude from our shores.

That will keep the greasy yanks off our backs.

This petrodollar state we find ourselves is the bane of our problem. It reminds me of the colonial trade in which timber, cotton and other cash crops were exported only for us to import clothes and furnish from Europe.

Let us close the taps to outside exports.

Good point.

And the Americans thought they hit a gold mine with shale oil. Shale oil production is very costly, I don't see them making any significant gains from it considering the rapidly falling oil prices. OPEC should maintain the Status Quo.

biafranqueen:
If she is under arrest with guns pointed she won't listen to officers and lifet her gown? So you married a 12 year old baby after marrying 3 other teenagers? See greedy just like Buhari am not surprised. No wonder why Hausa's/Fulani's have the highest divorce rate in Nigeria you people are really sick! See sicktards liking your post. Awoh for this place called Nigeria.

You need to see their poor little kids littered all over the streets begging for food in the North. These are the same kids that will be recruited into the almajiri system were lies and hate are thought to transform them into extremist.

BackDatAssUp:
Boko Haram did not start from the south. It is only reasonable we find the opinion of the region where Boko Haram members are recruited.

Boko Haram are not ghosts. They are not composed mainly of Chadian and Libyan mercenaries. There are for every mercenary a hundred local terrorists.

Understanding how the general populace in the north see Boko Haram is a good start to understanding how and why the group does not enjoy universal condemnation by the north, why the group continues to enjoy recruitment and why the govt and the victims of boko haram are being blamed for this senseless group.

Tell them. Boko Haram is the military arm of Born to rule elements in the North.

The first time Buhari emerged in 2003 to contest for Presidential election people laught. They laught not because he was funny. They laught because he's the last person on earth anyone could ever think of that would emerge and contest a Presidential election as an aspirant under democractic rule, given his antecedents and open declaration of war against democracy in 1983. At that time he was the worst candidate ever to signify interest to contest for Presidency.
He's still the worst.

When there's no truth, lies prevail. APC thrives on lies and propaganda to deceive as many Nigerians as possible.

Etruth:
Link pls

Google is your friend.

medamillion:
Then that's why you should vote for him if you want a BETTER nigeria.

... And if I don't want him then what? he will continue making Nigeria Ungovernable for GEJ right?

Etruth:
. All former Presidents and Head
of states actually get 23million naira monthly.
Buhari wrote a letter to
the Minister of Finance .He said in his letter that he will
only accept 10percent or that amount which is
2.3million and that is what he has been taking. So Buhari monthly payment is
N2.3m instead of N23m.

This is just to clear the air

Stop spreading lies. The Ministry of Finance has since refuted the claim that they got a letter from Buhari asking to be given only 10% of his entitlement.

yashau:
HON. DINO MELAYE
Wrote
I read online the question a lady asked. The question
is
how can Buhari who earns over 300million naira
yearly
claim that he can not afford to pay 27million naira for
the
APC presidential form. I became interested and
decided to
investigate. I went to the ministry of Finance where I
discovered that it is true that all former Presidents
and
Head of states actually get 23million naira monthly.
But I
found out that General Buhari actually wrote the
minister
of Finance to reject the 23million monthly pay. He
said in
his letter that he will only accept 10percent or that
amount which is 2.3million and that is what he has
been
taking. This is just to clear the air. What a Nigerian!
what
class of integrity!
God please make us men and women of integrity.
Amin.

Lies from the pit of hell.

mr man this's just an accusation.a mere allegation against gej without concret evidence.most of the corrupt cases u guys r shouting about abound before gej regime.subsidy was a dirty game all this while,no successive government deem it fit enof to tell nigeria the truth about subsidy.gej brought the whole truth out and nw he has being sacrified for that. Impunity,accusation,allegation,impunity,impunity and impunity!wat do u guys take this government for?do u think it's a military junta that will just pick up an accused and lock him up in cell without a court hearing?do u think it's obj military in civillian disguise rule were every power belong to him and he can do watsoever he want's with power? Look at wat happen at osun,a sentence has just been passed against someone commited crime since 2007,(the bomb suspect).7 years after.this is democracy. The problem with nigeria is that for the first time we r witnessing real democracy.this is the first time we r having a democratic govmnt that let all the tenets of democracy unfold it self.that's the reason y this govmnt has much critic,because nw ppl r free to knw wat they want and say it out.cos now ppl r free to write trash about the govmnt and get away with it.it gose on and on

You deserve a Gold Medal.
Years of military rule has damage the psychie of most Nigerians. This damage is deeply rooted in their mentality to the point where the only language they understand is show of force. Nigerians have no idea what it means for a Leader to govern through democractic ideals. To them Obasanjo was a strong man because he fought corruption through EFCC. What they don't know was that Obasanjo's so called fight against corruption was mere window dressing. A process he utilized to fight political enemies. He used the police and EFCC to commit gross acts of human rights violation. In fact, He ruled like a military dictator dishing out orders on who to arrested and who to be spared. He's government was mared by blatant disregard of court orders and abuse of power. Many Nigerians don't know that the state of emergency declared on Plateau State by OBJ where the Governor and the State House of Assembly were suspended was highly illegal, a classic case of impunity and blatant disregard of the constitution. Yet no one challenge it. Why? Because he controlled the National Assembly. OBJ's interference in the National Assembly was mind boggling. It got to a point where he decides who becomes the Senate President and Speaker of the house of Representatives. This is unheard of in civilized democracies anywhere in the world.
OBJ's rule was also characterized by rigging and imposition of candidates. Candidates he feels are loyal and will do he's bidding. Is this what democractic rule is all about? Excessive control and blatant abuse of power? Definitely not. At best he's government can be described as Military Rule in Civilian Camouflage. There's nothing democratic about Obasanjo's regime.
Goodluck Jonathan is the first Leader in Nigeria's history to govern the country democratically by STRICT observance of the CONSTITUTION and the RULE of LAW. It is because of these ideals and adherence to democratic principles that some tagged him weak.

Even though both Men and Women do have lust, Women's lust are different from that of men. Men are moved by what they see. Women are moved by what they connect through their emotions.

Do You think we are clowns? Some paid agent woke up from sleep and began writing Buhari's declaration of asset with 150 cows? Go and find someone else to deceive.
BTW, Buhari is worth Billions of dollars! ($2 billion dollars lost in 1978)

1,206 people abstain from voting? That is huge. This means 1,206 delegates of APC choose to abstain themselves from the stress and hassle of voting because all the candidates are not good enough. They rather not vote than vote Buhari.
This is good news to me. It means GEJ is assured of 1,206 votes from this camp next year.
Buhari is finished.

voodoo85:
pfff no. if i want i come and get it. no complaints so far

No complaints. - You sound like a tough lady who doesn't take nonsense

AfricanApple:
a man should not always be in charge, its d both if u who want it and the both of u will enjoy it, so anyone can take charge whenever they deem fit

even you sef go give testimony if u let your woman be in charge

Testimony indeed

This judgment will still not stop Buhari from losing next year.
BTW, who cares about Ameachi, Kwankwaso and co? They're just waste products.

All these talks about Buhari na wash. By the time you scan deeply into their hearts you will be suprise at what you will find. People talk to save face.
Meanwhile,
Gen Buhari is an embodiment of Cluelessness. He lacks 21st century scientific ideas needed to create a 21st Country. He's the symbol of The Stone Age Movement. - Major

All I know is that Buhari is returning to his village next year.

Born to rule elements of the North rallying behind Buhari is not a new thing. They regard power as their birthright.
BTW not all Northern people will support Buhari.

I still can't undastand the reason why some people kept on accusing president jonathan of being corrupt wen he had not being cought corruptible.what strangely amaze me is that the only justifiable corrupt member of his cabinet;stella oduar has being sacked even when she's a key member of his cabinet. So right now i want to undastand wat make gej so corrupt as claimed by obj and his like in nairaland.

Don't mind them. They are just blinded by hate for GEJ. If you call Tinubu or Buhari corrupt they will pounce on you, challenging you to produce evidence. Yet the same set of people takes pleasure in accusing GEJ of corruption without any shred of evidence and expect everybody to believe them. What do we call that? APC itself is made of Corruption.

This is one of the best post I have seen on Nairaland. Good questions raised by the Op. Those opposing GEJ are only doing it out of hate and bitterness.

A big kudos to our gallant troops. Keep up the good works. Flush all the demons out.
