Cos that outlet wasn't reliable. That's why I asked. And pls I am never a Tanist and never in my life will be one. I've got my values and can smell a bad product even when sleeping. #SaiBuhari.
tit: i am glad you found this for yourself. the guy is fond of posting unconfirmed reports that tally with boko haram agenda. his end is near. if you keep following him, i shall do the needful. too.
You don't understand. What I mean is, he too got the news somewhere and shoudn't be accused of spreading falsehood.
tit, its mind over matter. Just acknowledge for once that the man tried. I've heard people say they wouldn't visit Maiduguri even if given N10 million, talk less of visiting Chibok.
kITATITA: I'm relieved not to be in charge of GMB security team. It'd be a nightmare to manage such trip, and the way the APC candidates get too close to risks; knowing that anything could happen.
If you'd seen the reception yesterday, Buhari would even go to Sambisa.
The JTF Commanders on ground were reported to have been taken by surprise and shocked at Buhari’s daring request to proceed to Chibok immediately after the rally and refused to provide him security cover until they received a clearance from their superiors in Abuja.
GMB left for Chibok inspite of their refusal to go along with him and was moved when he came out and saw the thousands of Civilian JTF members who had volunteered to provide security for him,the Borno Governor and their entourage to and from Chibok Town,and off they went.
The people and parents of Chibok were filled with hope and joy upon sighting Buhari and his entourage,and escorted him into Chibok with singing and dancing.
Crowd receives Buhari in Maiduguri
After he addressed the people and parents of the girls, a pastor offered prayers for the safe return of Buhari and his entourage back home and for his victory at the polls.
The villagers got emotional and some of them started weeping when the General was getting set to depart for Maiduguri later in the night.
bjdon: Please do not EVER dare to compare Gani and Obasanjo. Gani was a true giant of truth and justice. Obasanjo is nothing more than a hypocritical tyrant, who try's to portray himself as some kind of saint when in fact he's actually the biggest daemon of all.
That cannot take away his right to criticize as he has been doing. And my comparison to Gani is to lay it bare for you that some people outspokenness is not limited to certain peoples and regimes.
nigerianvenom: AN ELDER STATE-BOY; We have Gowon, we have Shehu Shagari, we have Ernest Shonekon, we have Abdusalami but they have conducted themselves with respect, talking wen necessary. But this ur man keeps talking like a market woman. Even with all his abominable acts! Anyway it just means that the man is still a child, just that he has mistakenly gathered white hairs, grown pot tommy & plenty of irrelevant years for nothing, he still acts like a kid, tearing papers up & down! & maybe soon will chew his PVC in public !
Check OBJ's antecedents, there's no way he wouldn't talk when he believes something is wrong. It is not personal. Like Gani, he has criticized every government one could think of. He has every right to do so, as those criticizing him have those rights too, as Nigerians. He hasn't done any wrong by this. In fact, we're grateful to OBJ, cos we don't know how it could have been without those cautionary pro-people inputs from his type.
"Do not turn one Blunder into two. It is quite usual to commit four others in order to remedy one, or to excuse one piece of impertinence by still another. Folly is either related to, or identical with the family of Lies, for in both cases it needs many to support one. The worst of a bad case is having to fight it, and worse than the ill itself is not being able to conceal it. The annuity of one failing serves to support many others. A wise man may make one slip but never two, and that only in running, not while standing still." – Baltasar Gracian
mcdc: GMB was stoned out of the state..............ask channels Tv . what a shame!
Pls be mindful of what you say. The whole town stood for GMB. The audience were so happy that they couldn't allow him to talk. He couldn't be heard as the "Said Buhari" shouts have become deepening that nothing else could be heard. What they were saying was, he doesn't even have to talk. By coming to Maiduguri he's done enough for them. May be he was stoned in your dreams.
NLEFCC: I just watched people pelting stones at the convoy of the APC party leaders and the rally had to end without even an address by any leader not to mention the General. Don't know what to make of this....,
sincerenigerian: I never really took the guy serious when I came back to this forum a month ago. I was surprised he was on progressives side. I once had verbal wrestling with him when he was in PDP's camp. The guy is only trying to appeal to some girls on GEJ's side. I have been watching his moves in the last few weeks trying to appeal to some girls who are staunch supporters of GEJ. He created this thread for that purpose.
The barca of a guy should be ignored, henceforth.
You know, it's really painful, just like the postponement. I cannot help but keep asking myself: "What happened?" But what could one do? In the end everybody answers for himself.
@Barca; You're getting the benefits of doubt because you were one of us - we laughed , cried and fought for what we believed in together. For that you'll always be given a special place. But this path you're treading is ignoble. It is the worst position to be - strategically, as one of the cardinal laws in life, and especially in politics is to be so prepared that there are "no days unalert." And the worst is that, why at this late - after having come this long?
"Know the enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you'll never be defeated."
And,
"Don't depend on the enemy not coming; depend rather on being ready for him." So advised Sun Tzu, one of the greatest military strategists the world has ever known. | My broda, I feel sad for this position you're taking. It will only lead to the lose of your reputation. In Nigeria of today, and as a Nigerian, how could you so easily forget that nothing should be taken for granted; that nothing should be taken off the table; that nothing is impossible?
barcanista: Bros, I have studied the President. He has a huge fault in attracting the right people to make him to be understood and drive his policies. He also have this over-confidence on his team. He is a laissez-faire leader.
And it's a big minus, as the buck stops at his desk. If you cannot pass across your goals, visions and policies, it's as good as not having them. If advertisers can just assume their products would just sell itself, they wouldn't spend billions trying to persuade you or make you see its worth.
barcanista: What we had was communication problem. The President was only trying to make stealing stand alone so that one can call a thief to be a thief. It is just like making a Chemical Engineer stand alone from the Broader Engineering. That is rather than saying MalcomX is an Engineer, we should say MalcomX is a Chemical Engineer. It doesn't mean malcomx isn't an Engineer though. The President need brilliant communicators as Advisers to help him out.
Of course a thief is corrupt, just like a nepotist but the President meant that we should call a thief a thief. His Yam and Goat explanation is simply saying that we should as much as we can block access to stealing to make it difficult for people.
You explained it better. But like you said, a good leader should be circumspect on matters he's not authority in. Unlike him, the Judge he was quoting can easily wriggle himself out, and convince the audience on the legal standings of each. For the president, he still has the misfortune of being assumed to be making less of, or a case for stealing.
barcanista: OP both sounded intelligently. GEJ's explanation can be understood even by the starkest illiterate and market woman. It is all about communication. The way una de carry Jonathan matter sef don de tire me.
As for Buhari, he also answered intelligently. Both are on point.
Why should at this stage our morality be redefined? Most of us have become even more confused about the meaning of corruption and stealing. There's a branch of moral philosophy called situational ethics. Whoever tells you stealing is not corruption will based on who it favours tomorrow re-twist it to mean another thing.
legendsilver: Its interesting how the two heavy weight presidential candidates in Nigeria political stratosphere analyses the word "CORRUPTION" One believe its stealing while the other believes its not. Let's have our say as we prepare to make a choice from the two candidates.
Ah ah Chief!, goats are not human beings now. Have you not seen a small goat chasing even its big sister. Will a normal human being do that? Human being have self-awareness, and when it is taken away they become goats. Until then, stealing is corruption.
"During slavery you had two Negroes. You had the house Negro and the field Negro. The house Negro usually lived close to his master. He dressed like his master. He wore his master's second-hand clothes. He ate food that his master left on the table. And he lived in his master's house-- in the basement or the attic--but he still lived in the master's house. When his master said, "We have good food," the house Negro would say, "Yes, we have plenty of good food." "We" have plenty of good food. When the master said that "we have a fine home here," the house Negro said, "Yes, we have a fine home here."When the master would be sick, the house Negro identified himself so much with his master he'd say, "What's the matter boss, we sick?" His master's pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the master's house out than the master himself would. But then you had another Negro out in the field. The house Negro was in the minority. The masses--the field Negroes were the masses. They were in the majority. When the master got sick, they prayed that he'd die. If his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze." – Malcolm X
tit: Sorry about that. I know that you, Jonathan and Sambo is a good people. But bad people like Buhari, Ambode, Tinubu, Shekau, and Atiku make my blood hot!
halimaabi: In your mind you think you are making sense right?typical of an APC supporter brainless and can't think for themselves, Buhari loved by who?only cunning Yoruba and Power hungry hausa people like him,now on be truthful his wife could spend 130 million on drugs for internally displaced persons and Buhari claimed not to have money to buy form for APC presidential election, he's know as a tyrant and a killer so what are you talking about, Buhari is a sad man on a revenge mission if you think am lieing ask IBB goat without brains.
Hmmmm, so much 'non'sense in a paragraph? They've become so clueless that they don't know they're clueless. They're so clueless that they won't be able to say anything if insult is not involved.
am i the one that invented the word "shepopotamus"? this thing you are telling me, can you tell it to soyinka? or is it because you think i dont have power?
idiot
I am not talking about that. I am talking of your propensity to use words deserving of toilets and gutters. Words like, "Did you ... " especially as it applies to women.
jars9: After a careful obeservation of Pa Muhammadu Buhari while watching his interview on aljazeera , I came to the conclusion that this man is sick I have friends who suffer from stroke and their lips is what gives them out take a look at pa Buhari's lips and tell me its a normal lip, the man suffers from stroke, video below.
Go and watch the video it's not about political party it's about nigeria and her future umaru Ya' ardua is a lesson we need to learn from fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me,watch the video and tell me the man is not sick and frail.
We can't afford another Ya'ardua scenario watch the video and judge for yourself and not by others.
He will die. Buhari will die at his appointed time as everybody will at his. And if he dies as you want, let us see whether you will stay here forever, to be happy that he is dead. And by the way, who isn't sick in Nigeria? We are afraid to go yo hospitals for fear that the doctor will say we have this or that. To be sick is to be alive. Only the living suffer sickness. Those dead and the living-dead don't know they are sick. Some people are so sick in their suffering that they don't know they're sick and suffering. Bob Marley aptly captures their state when he says, 'They think they're in heaven but they're in hell.' You cannot get the joy of unconditional love enjoyed by Buhari. Say what you may, he will unlike you die a fulfilled man, because he's been truthful and fought fair to the end.
tit, why you always turning things to obscenities? I always feel abused, taken advantage of, denigrated by this affront on my sensibilities. You can make jokes or criticize without being vile or obscene. If you are a woman as you claim, never say things you wouldn't be proud to repeat in front of your children.
