Forget this Iyabo issue.
I am more worried by the Ayo Adebanjo comment.
How does any sane person take these old men serious?
These men are clowns and in my books have always been.

He endorsed Shekarau.
So I guess Shekarau is more acceptable than Buhari  

naijababe:
If GEJ wins as I suspect he will and does right by Nigerians, I believe the division will heal (I am in team BB). Look no further than 2007 Lagos election, the emergence of Fashola by no means polarized Lagos, but Lagosians have come to rally behind him including your truly.

i feel you and see your point.
my problem is that i just can't see it happening.
From the morning, you know how the day will be.
you just don't hang around lions and tigers and suddenly become a domestic animal in the process.
The Fashola example is an anomaly.
His antecedents were a pointer that he would deliver.
Nothing in this morning points to any difference to the past 12 years.
Some of the passion of anti-GEJ folks is fuelled by the fact that this is one opportunity that might not present itself again in a long time.
The man might not be a bad person afterall (although i seriously question  his competence) but with the crowd around him i see no proof that his govt will be anything different from the past.
It is impossible to have blind faith as this is religion nor a love affair.
We need a strong hand to redress this slide.
If GEJ wins and fails to provide a strong hand (which i strongly doubt) the slide will only hasten and all these economic indices being bandied around will be worthless.

Jarus:
At the risk of being accused of 'falling for triviality' and 'deifying individuals' again, I must confess you are, to me, the hero of the whole presidential candidacy debates that have dominated this section in the last 6 months at least. I salute your zeal, your passion for your candidate(Ribadu). If one adds your analytical prowess, debating skills and grasp of history to those, then one will see that there are still loaded people here. You impressed me the most.

Don't worry, i will not crucify you this time.
you are right.
Congrats Gbawe for your enlightening views.
I might not have always agreed with you nor been articulate as you were but it was a pleasure and this comment of yours is a worthy climax.
Our consciences and offsprings will bear witness with our efforts for a better Naija.

efisher:
This is just the beginning. He has destroyed his hard earned reputation already. The few people that took him serious will never take him serious again. Anyway, what goes around comes around.

surprise! surprise!
I never took him serious until now.
at least he walked the talk and has conducted himself in a most honourable manner.
swimming against Pentecostal tide must have been one of the hardest things the man has ever done but he has been true to his convictions.
For daring, i respect him.

He did not cry when Tinubu was spending millions sponsoring his campaign?
Which part of Tinubu's physical features looks like a Santa Claus?
Ribadu is a bit naive but i believe this whole process will be an enlightening one for him and he will be better off in the near future.
He should just watch his conduct and comments on the campaign trail that none of it wil come to haunt him in future.

GEJ will not associate with Tinubu because he is corrupt but bombers like Dokpesi will be his campaign manager?
and righteous souls like Anenih will do runs for him?

i doubt this,
besides it is too late to make any difference.
how are you going to inform the uneducated masses who have decided to vote for him?
This cannot be true.
just does not make sense.

agabaI23:
I have shame and but I have no shame in saying the truth.

Go and read the first post in this thread.

Jarus saw it and could not argue, dayokanu ignored it why? They do not wanna make fools of themselves. But you . . I am sure you have not read it. Do not let your passion blanket your wisdom. It is dangerous!

more irony!!
good night.

The new edition of the best seller excerpts written by AUTHEBURCKLEY, expanded by ABDULMALIK LARRY KRAUS ZUBEIRU is out jus now,  it has sold more than 1000000000000000000000000 copies, but for our teeming supporters of good conscience and some urchins (leftists) this copy is free of charge* no tax,

" added 31 REASONS WHY BUHARI DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR VOTE

In my books, Buhari is a pretentious anti-corruption fighter. The trajectory of a man's journey in public life matters. For the following reasons I cannot vote for Buhari:

1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State governor, who was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to be put under house arrest is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant farmers who's land were appropriated without compesation to remain under house arrest.

1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after.

1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name.

1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any property anywhere in the world except the one he had built from his sweat as long term teacher and school principal in Owo township.

2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed three men, innocent men in my book, by public execution.

you never get tired of trolling this list do you?
it is so easy listing those you claim Buhari killed (even those that died in old age decades after he left power) but last time i asked you to list those who have died on the Benin/Ore, East/West road axis where you heroes have voted over 50 billion naira in 12 years and done absolutely nothing.
Why is it so hard to draw up that list and probably name it 31 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD VOTE GEJ?

i find it very ironic that a supporter of GEJ would try to castigate Buhari and have the nerves and effrontery to use words like IQ, sophistication and intellect.
Have you no shame in yourselves?

superboi:
Definitely and also the right to appeal result with evidence.

so why is Gbagbo not appealing with evidence an election that he is widely believed to have lost?
why is he holding the country hostage?
whether Quattara is a stooge or not, if Gbagbo had conceeded the election and proceeded to appeal, do you truly think the blood of the masses would have been so aimlessly spilled?
He loves Ivory Coast so much that his desire for power is worth blood?

Gore beat Bush as was widely believed but he chose not to pursue a case tht could cause yield a constitutional crisis and decided that it was not worth it?
when will we have African democracy that would com to terms with the fact that their desires are secondary in the scheme of things?
I hope the kind of home grown democracy you are imagining is not the c rap that was done in Kenya where Kabaki lost but the AU in an invention of African type of democracy decided that the loser and the winner should share power and form a govt?
whatever form of democracy we settle for in Africa, it must be a form that makes the will of the people paramount and the wil and desires of politicans must be a distant second.Anything else is a farce, simplistic and will always end in bloodshed.

^^^^^^
noted,my apologies
but i hope our version of democracy must also include accepting election results?

superboi:
When people like you realize that transplanting western system to people with different values and customs is like giving a goat a human heart or vice versa then we would have a Government models that works. This western democracy thing can't work in our society not because we are less or more superior, but it not just our thing.

What is our thing?
dictatorship?
civil wars?

dude, democracy is overated but until you can espouse a better option,we have to make it work.
the reasons why it is not working here is largely due to the lack of strong institutions and the overwhelming presence of selfish,power drunk and greedy leaders who never for a moment think of anyone else but themselves and their pockets.
They don't even pretend to.
That is why it is not working in the continent.
The bashing of democracy is short sighted and overly simplistic.
Look at South Africa.The reason why that country has not tipped over is because of strong institutions that are still limiting greedy,selfish leaders who are exploiting every available opportunity to rape the country dry.
The moment they are able to weaken and destroy the strong institutions they inherited, someone will say democracy does not work there too.
I am no supporter of Quattara but i could not care less if Gbagbo rots in hell.
killing your people to remain in power can never be justified.
at least no one claimed he won the elections.

ceah:
bro, it's not just about money, you can contribute by talking to ppl about this cause, you can join our FB Page and get all your friends to join and preach the gospel of change of BB, you can do so much more than those giving the money, so bro by tomorrow we want to hear from you what you have done pertaining to this cause

Cheers.

dayokanu:
I go with your prediction also

the way Bayern shocked Inter too

Jarus:
I have discussed using NL name with Seun. He disapproved of it.
So that has put end to using Nairaland anywhere. Issue closed.

good closure.
Just use any of the vague names mentioned earlier and just inform us afterwards.
No need for another NASS styled debate over a name.
are we still on track for the ad rolling out tomorrow?
still waiting your response by email or text on the stuff we discussed.

nateevs:
I have no idea. I hope this is not a new way of receiving 2 pay checks from the same employer. .

i remember Carlo saying he will be assistant manager only in name while retaining his duties as chief Opponent scout.
the only difference is that he gets to sit on the bench (whether far end or up close, all na bench).
Notice that he gives no instruction or discusses with Carlo.
It is some strange situation.

Ibime:
What does Vidic have to do to cop a red card in this league. Shoot someone?

don't be ridiculous.
In no planet was that a goal scoring opportunity.
have you missed all the red cards he has been copping?

^^^
i share your sentiments on the name thing.
why not get a consent from Seun while those hear agree on a name.
if Seun comes up with his consent before noon and the house hear agrees we go with it as it is presently.
if he does not, we go with whatever name is consensually agreed upon here.
This thing is dragging on for too long.
I don't understand the argument.
we are not representing Nairaland, we are believers in the cause of B/B on Nairaland.
what part of that is untrue or libelous?
Any other description is vague.
whatever the decision of the house, let us put this thing to bed urgently.
it is dragging on for too long.
It is not like we are registering at CAC.

any news on the bulk SMS?

whoever the forum member that is willing to foot that bill, may you and your generation never walk alone.
May you never be stranded in life.
May injustice and mediocrity be absent from your life.

[quote author=Kilode?! link=topic=611008.msg8053286#msg8053286 date=1301959041]@all why can't we get the original version of the message without the background music, I bet they recorded it at the BB campaign so they should have a clean copy for Cool FM people to dub on. Just wondering aloud too.

Maybe we should post an SOS message in the music section.[/quote]that is the most logical thing.
Jarus said coolFM said it is impossible to remove the background music.
I was alarmed to hear that but i am clueless on such stuff.
I wonder if anyone from here is going for the function at city mall today?
or has contacts within the campaign team?
getting the raw version of that message should not be too difficult.

Kobojunkie:
With only a couple of days left, you guys ought to be doing much more here!

the election is next week, we still got days left.
i believe we can sort things out in the next 24hrs.
I hear we can roll out same ad on wazobia PH through the same sources in coolFM here.
We should get an update from Jarus today.

any update on the bulk SMS stuff?
I am interested in supporting that financially.

because i am still waiting for he and his administration to prove me wrong as stated below;

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?topic=576504.msg7430981#msg7430981

to make matters worse,Dokpesi the bomber is now a senior campaign manager.
In one word - SPINELESS

Na wa o!
this one na serious matter o!
okay make una suggest name or should it just be 'concerned young Nigerians'?
I see nothing wrong in the name Jarus used but if the vehemence remains as strong as it seems, kindly suggest an alternative, that ad suppose comot tomorrow.

on the SMS stuff, how much would it cost?
I am still interested in that project, i can support.
my finances are bad at present but this is for the future of our children.
IT IS POSSIBLE!!

Since there is till time, can we source for the raw version of that Bakare's message (without the background music)?
Is it possible to send MMS through bulk SMS?
just thinking out loud!!

Tcrack:
this battle of words is starting to get boring. i wonder why nigerians so many cant reason.sebi you want to vote GEJ/ PDP because his name means goodluck,he is humble, he is friendly, he is fom the south south, ? go ahead, after 4 years, i will be here, you will be here, nairaland will be here and we will see Nigeria remain in the same sorry state it is in.

God bless you.

fstranger3:
The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation

While your argument might be debateable, this is the wrong place for it.
kindly desist from spamming this thread with irrelevant posts.
the title of the thread is plain enough for understanding.
there are loads of other threads where your argument can be made.

the MTN number you are trying to call is not reachable at the moment, pls try again later.

Jarus,done.
kindly confirm receipt.
