Hahahahahahahahaha. Without Tinubu's AC, would Buhari have won? (In case your answer is in the affirmative, recall the number of times Buharis contested without AC).
Winning primaries means the collapsed powers had already agreed to something. Buhari brought CPC to the table, thus, he had a leverage, Tinubu brought AC, thus agreed to take the VP. And SP with the SHoR. Atiku wouldn't had jump in and scatter that arrangement. Now, Tinubu is there. Atiku is closer to him now than Bugatti. Remember Tinubu is a spoiler? Where he can't get, he spoils. Wait and see.

Just like he couldn't get his preferred candidate in Ondo and spoilt Aketi's chances of becoming Governor abi? The earlier y'all stopped making Tinubu ur god, the better for u all.

. Congrats Aketi. What he couldn't achieve in 2012 with Tinubu's backing , he has achieved without Tinubu's support. The moral of the story is..no man is God. Ondo people have spoken. Nobody should cry for Tinubu, he deserves what he gets. Power pass power, man pass man.

Charly68:
Even Deziani that messed up big time was never releaved of her duty or was it Odua gate scandal that PDP covered up till today ..did anybody die because GEJ refused to remove the women ? I beg this people should stop their baseless campaign on this page

. When did u start comparing Buhari to GEJ? Buhari should do what GEJ didn't do cos in the eyes of zombies, he is infallible. Abi the two of them na the same now?

DozieInc:
No spoon is long enough to dine with the devil, history is been recycled and people will never learn.
Buhari's 2003, 2007, and 2011 electoral defeats taught lessons... Buhari despite been an influential figure from the North didnt come close to victory in the various poles, until in the 2015 elections ( the Yorubas ) Tinubu, Obasanjo, Amaechi etc threw their weight behind him to ensure his victory.

Is the Northern influence in politics over-rated??

Can the a Northerner succeed to the highest position without the support of any group from the South??

The real question is..can the South stay united to the point of not having a fraction of it support the North? The answer is NO!! The seeds of discord sown in 2015 will come back to haunt Tinubu and his allies as nothing will make the SS/SE stay on the same page with the SW.

We are different from you Guys

We are not for sale

We stand and Identify with our own

Pray that you achieve quatre of what this great man

achieved in life

. Some pple and stupid comments ehhhnnn!! Did u pray to achieve a fraction of what Jonathan has achieved when you were abusing him?

babyfaceafrica:
All I know is aketi will lose

Tinubu slaves, did Aketi win when he had Tinubu's backing in 2012? Idol worshipers.

patriotic9jaboy:
The IPOB yout above me is foaming at the mouth for nothing. Tinubu has fought countless political battles and emerged victorious. If the north think they can use and dump him, he would simply realign with like minds and work towards taking power away from the north in 2019. In the end, it will be a win win situation for Tinubu and the south west

Tinubu does not and will never have the muscle to take power away from the North. Why do you people arrogate so much powers to a man who doesn't have a 100% grip on his own region.? A Northerner will be president in 2019, whether Tinubu likes it or not. That's how the cookie crumbles.

kayzat:
Winning the primary is not the same as winning the main contest . Can Aketi win the election on his own? we all have our disagreements but its better not to burn the bridge of friendship because you think you have crossed to the other side .


Aside the petition written by the other aspirants I can recollect any of them going to the press to attack him but Aketi is the one abusing everyone upandan over a rigged primary election.

When he won the primaries in 2012 with Tinubu's support, did he win the main elections? Isn't it ironical that a tribe which arrogates itself as the most sophisticated hold the opinion of one man as the voice of the whole region? Tinubu is a thief and he should eat the humble pie for once. Wetin dey worry una sef? When the sensible SE/SS were warning u blind fools abt these people, una gree? Una follow Tinubu for yansh like mumu. After una go say una go school. He has bn outsmarted. Live with it or die.

Olu317:
whether they like it or not,TInubu remain force to be reckon with in Yoruba land. I wait to see among Ibikunle Amosu,Babatunde Raji Fashola, Kayode Fayemi, Akeredolu Rotimi and Abiola Ajimobi whom among them have the weight and charisma to woo Yorubas respectively to vote against Tinubu directive. Time will tell. And those of you who think Yoruba are gullible will be shocked in 2019 with a block voting pattern again. That's the reason we are an enigma to solve

Chai!! Did u deliver a bloc voting pattern in 2015? As derided as GEJ was in the SW and as influential as Tinubu was, Jonathan still got over 40% in Lagos and other SW states. Not talking of Ekiti, which he won. Abeg, Tinubu is overrated. The last general elections were won and lost in the North. Simple.

NgeneUkwenu:
If Okonjo Iweala, a woman that had seen it all could come out to say at an American conference that the SEED OF THIS RECESSION WAS PLANTED DURING THE JONATHAN REGIME DUE TO OUR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE, INABILITY AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL TO SAVE. Then Those Harshly Criticizing Buhari, Should In All Honesty, Do A Retrospective Search On Their Conscience...

Obasanjo's administration earned # 17trn [/b]from crude oil sales within eight years and left behind 45bn dollars external reserves and 3.348bn dollars external debt.

Yaradua grew the reserves to [b]64bn dollars within just one year and the administration was able to finance 15 months of imports despite the 2008/2009 world economic meltdown. Hence, Nigeria survived the melt down because of the political will by the administration to save(a great achievement by Yaradua which most Nigerians are not aware of). Despite the tough economic reality at that time, Yaradua left 47.7bn dollars in reserves and an external debt of 3.94bn dollars. Meanwhile, the administration earned only # 9trn from crude oil sales within that short period.

Now, Jonathan administration witnessed an oil boom when Brent crude sold for over 100 dollars/barrel, with the regime earning # 51trn within a period of 5years. But because of corruption, the administration did not only squander the oil revenue but even depleted the reserves left by Yaradua, leaving just 32bn dollars and a huge external debt of 63bn dollars for Buhari. The same Brent crude sold for as low as 35 dollars/barrel at a point shortly after Buhari took over power and had only managed to climb to about 48 dollars just recently.

These are facts that can be verified. So, it's amazing hearing people criticize Buhari for the hunger in the land.

According to Fashola, Buhari's administration inherited 206 uncompleted road projects and contract arrears worth #2.1trn from Jonathan; and for about 2 to 3 years the contractors where not paid. This slowed down the economic activities, with most of the companies laying off their staff. This was when the seed of recession was sowed.

It's obvious that Buhari came in to rescue Nigeria, because if Jonathan had continued in power, the nation's economic crisis would have been worse, perhaps even the Federal government wouldn't have been able to pay salaries of civil servants by now.

According to Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria started borrowing money to pay salaries since October, 2014; but today Nigeria now borrow money for investment in capital projects.

Those who blame Buhari for the current hardship do so either out of mischief (hatred) or ignorance. So, we shouldn't join the bandwagon in criticising him. [b]He may not have done much to save the situation, considering that he is not a perfect human being but he means well for the country and can only succeed with our prayers[/b].

[size=15pt]May Almighty God continue to guide Baba Buhari.

From the picture above, almost everyone came with a pen and pad to take notes but look at Buhari, na empty hand he take waka come cos he has no idea what's going on there. All these your long stories will not change the fact that PMB has failed Nigerians. Even Saraki has asked that the blame game should be over. It is time to take responsibilities.

Sarpino:
Nigerians are handicapped in every area of their life, so it is not surprising that they are winning medals in handicapped sport.

But wait oh, what type of chart is this? How can Nigeria be top 10 when there are countries after them with more medals?

Tunisia has 10 medals, Canada has 12, Korea has 13, Cuba sef has 9, Italy 13. What kind of mago mago chart is this?

Even counting is handicap for an average Nigerian.

Your brain should be participating in the paralympics of logical reasoning. Positioning on the table aint determined by the total number of medals a team wins. Premium is placed on the value of the medal won. For example, I win one gold, one silver and two bronze medals while you win 20 silver and 11 bronze medals. I'll be placed higher than you on the medals table despite the fact that you more medals in total. Shey u understand?

This Kashamu case no dey ever finish?

Like Fayemi like Abraham. After accepting defeat and congratulating the winners, their oga orders them to do a somersault. Bloody stooges

What is wrong with Nigerians sef? If Buhari isn't to blame, then who is? When Buhari and his APC cohorts were busy bashing the previous government without suggesting solutions to all our issues, what do you expect? Government is a continuum. The economy wasn't a fraction as bad as it is today when PDP handed over. Buhari has no hiding place. He is incompetent. Oya, make una come blame me.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well. If u want to be a criminal, take the risk and commit real crime. My amala brothers and pettiness. NCAN...I don laugh tire

It is official, we have a jester as President.

searchiing4love:
The reason the north keeps dominating is because they are united. Buhari has been winning Jonathan in the north since 2011 but he needed paltry votes from the SW to defeat Jonathan in 2015. This means there is power in unity if the south unites. Will the Igbo's unite with the SW? Your guess is as good as mine

Ure bn hypocritical. How about asking if the SW will unite with the Igbos? Every people have the right to take their political inclinations. However, what matters is if they are proved right or wrong at the end of the day. From all indications, the Igbos' decision to align with GEJ has bn justified so far. If Bourdillon is as powerful as u portray it, it won't be needing any help to install the govt of it's choice.

The picture keeps getting clearer that Buhari is a tyrant. I feel sorry for Madam Ezeks and her co-campaigners though. One thing is certain, Buhari now knows something he probably didn't know during the campaigns. It is either he has given up on the girls or he has finally realised the whole thing was fictitious and his govt can't come out to accept that now, as it will make them look truly stupid. The coming days will truly unfold this drama.

smirn:
Usual misleading publication by vanguard, when did it happened? At what event or meeting the instruction was given? Stop talking to the press will not withdraw the petition already submitted to the anti graft agencies. I was thinking you wailers were accusing the presidency of sponsoring this allegation to remove Dogara, you people always think forward and backward at the same time. Even looking at it critically, is it the press that are to investigate the allegations? Let the investigating agency speak to the press not the petitioner and the accused. Useless journalism for clueless and gullible wailers.

People like you are the problem with Nigeria. Jibrin was on social media yesterday celebrating his wife since he has been barred by the party from talking to the press about the padding issue. He acknowledged so. The question is..why would APC stop the principal characters in this case from talking to the press? Make we dey try to use our brains abeg

There's always an Igbo man ready to defend anyone accused of corruption in this regime.

Is this hate for Buhari not turning to insanity already?

. Mr Okorie only spoke his mind. At least that's better than sitting on the fence like Gbajabiamila and other SW reps who are waiting for directives from Bourdillon. So much for cowardice my friend.

newsphase:
and when she lost her phone how did she feel... Did she just say I am sorry and its just a phone after all... or did she just plead seriously to show remorse...

it all depends on the way she sees ultimatums... and also some form of discipline.. (I mean before you know it a new friend can buy a phone for her, and all your ultimatums and discipline will be bullshit... so I think you know what to do)

On the flipside, she fit dey sell the fones. Knowing that u'll replace it

Through the toughest of tides,
I'll swim with you till I drown.
My 24 carat jewel..
Without you, I feel like a king with no crown.

They say all that glitters aint gold..
True, ure more priceless than diamonds.
If I find myself in an unknown land..
I'd still find my way to ur heart walking with a blindfold.

Ure one amongst few..
My bouquet full of colorful hue.
I'll stay on a long queue..
Just to spend a moment with you.

Olori Yetty, I love u to the end of the world and back.

[quote author=naijadeyhia post=47053131][/quote]Bro, every single energy you expend trying to justify Mr Buhari's inability to produce his cert makes you look like you are pouring water into a basket. According to the electoral law, the minimum requirement is senior secondary level. The question now is..what qualification did Buhari present that is equivalent to WASC/WAEC/ Cambridge O level? Why did he claim his certificate was with the military? Original copy oooo!! He won't even break a sweat to get another copy for the examining body if truly wrote the exams, why the whole brouhaha? You can get into a higher institution via diploma, pre-degree, JAMB and all but you must possess a minimum of 5 o level credits. That is the benchmark. You can't build something on nothing. Where is Buhari's certificate?

inquisitiv:
Once again I will comment on this post so other Nigerians will not believe all igbos support corruption. I am a full blooded igbo and this writer is spot on. He is very correct in his analysis.

The average igbo politician is one greedy creature, accomplishments are the number of houses he built. This disease is so deep that even the youth of the community points to him as haaving been blessed by God since he won election.

I have lived and worked in SE, SS, SW, NC and NE of this country. Every regionhas their corrupt leaders but the difference is that SW will tell their own thieves to their face that they are thieves. My brothers in SE will celebrate the loot and call the thieve 'our son'.

This is a disgrace.

Not in my name!

Goodluck was adopted because of the access of igbo leaders to Dollars. No principle, no strategy. Look at SE states and observe how leadershipwas transferred. Except for anambra others were handed over to people worse than their predecessors. Compare with Lagos where it is obvious that their is a list somewhere of competent managers who are thrown up to lead the state. What we have in the SE is politics of business. where the biggest moneybag buys the office.

As usual once I write some unexposed people will start questioning my igboness. you need to mix up.

The lastest shame is when cases of morals are in court eg forgery, the defense is that 'our son is being persecuted'. this is disgraceful

Not in my name. I am a proud igbo boy. I dont condone fraud.

indeed@the SW will tell their own thieves to their face. They told Buruj Kashamu to his face that he is a drug lord and make him a senator. Plus their acclaimed leader is widely believed to have enriched himself corruptly, besides also having a history of drug related deals in America. We should learn not to make blanket statements just to make parochial points.

A policewoman attached to the igando Police station this afternoon at around 2:30 stop a bus driver in front of nnpc Police station and requested for there normal egunje but the driver came down and was pleading with the officer explaining to her that he just started work he dont have much on him.

Even as Nigerians back President Buhari to bring corrupt leaders to book, one question is desperately begging for answers, Why is the fight against corruption limited to members of the opposition?

why is the petition against the fly of Ubiama a.k.a Amaechi gathering dust in the office of the EFCC?

why are the fathers of corruption e.g Obasanjo, Atiku, Tinubu left to be walking freely even after glaring evidences against them?.....,oh!last time I checked, they are now members of APC: Association of present criminals

[quote author=macherie1 post=45476188]If you thought your commute was bad, try getting gas in Nigeria writes Dionne Searcey of New York Times. The article goes on to describe the deplorable and laughable situation of power in Nigeria as well as the extreme hardship faced by Nigerians queueing for fuel at gas stations. The article also displayed pictures of Lagos streets in total darkness.

I've always been the one to defend Nigeria against foreigners' attempt to tarnish our image but this time I have nothing to defend. Mr Searcey's article is nothing but the sad truth. It's a shame how our reputation as a country continues to get slammed and battered all around the world. While the name of some countries open doors for their citizens, the mere mention that you are a Nigerian most times gets the door slammed in your face in the international network. See the link to the article below.




When are we going to learn to put sentiments aside? Any discerning mind knows this government has failed Nigerians so far. Enough of the flimsy excuses. If Jonathan was clueless with the way he handled Boko Haram, nobody should exonerate Buhari from the way he is handling our economic and Niger Delta Avengers issue. He is the commander-in-chief and the buck stops on his table. End of discussion

So, why didn't it make sense to you and your ilks when GEJ gave that as an excuse for the shortfall in power generation? What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander.

[quote author=godson36 post=44267701][b]I will never regret voting this useless party out of Nigeria. Yes, am proud of making that decision. PDP have been playing with the lives and peace of Nigeria since Boko Haram strike in 2010.

A school was attacked burnt down and several holes were made on the wall which gives sign that shooting took place there.

This missing girls have their identity with WAEC

The principal of the school confirm the incident.

Those living in the area confirm the incident

Some of the girls escape and tell some stories about the abduction

Some parent of the missing girls have gone to their early grave due to High Blood Pressure.

Shekau shows this girls reciting a Quran verse

Some if the girls were Stone to death in a video release by Boko Haram cause they are not ready to cooperate in joining their religion.

AND this useless governor said it's a stage play... My only prayer for you is that you will witness such a stage play in your life.

I have not vote for PDP in Ekiti and I will never do so forever. This man thinks he knows everything.. I have started cursing him since he advice Buhari to devalue Naira.. Imagine a Taxi driver giving advice to a president of Nigeria. lol

_______________________________

Though I rightly agree that everybody is entitled to his or her opinion but truth is, there are some salient questions begging for answers with regards to this Chibok girls saga. Why has the agitation for the freedom of the girls by the BBOG group and other organisations no longer as loud as it was under the previous administration? Have they given up or suddenly realised that it was all a hoax? Are the lives of the girls no longer important? Did Buhari not promise to find the girls under a timeframe during his campaigns? Why is nobody holding him on to that? The circumstances under which the girls were kidnapped remain highly suspicious, hence you should respect the opinions of people who don't think it happened. It doesn't make them less sensible.

Everything about this government smacks of complete insensitivity and total lack of ideas.

I suggest this government should just stop talking about having defeated this sect. It seems their comments get to infuriate the insurgents.
