I have no doubt that bargaining and jostling for posts is a normal part of politicking. I also have no doubt that Tinubu would demand a handsome price for supporting any presidential candidate. Everybody knows how Tinubu has turned Lagos into his personal fiefdom, how he has schemed his wife into the Senate, how he is currently trying to install Ambode as Governor after Fashola, and how he has shared party tickets, offices and other perks to his children, in-laws, and other cronies. So, for me, there is nothing really surprising or unbelievable about this story. What amazes me about Tinubu and his ilk is their sheer greed and insatiability. What does this man need these incredible amounts of money for? It doesn't make sense to steal so much and still crave for more even when you have a surfeit of everything you need. That's why I laugh when I hear people talk about APC as the party of change. I wish such optimists well. But there's nothing like change in a party led by Tinubu. I am not trying to say that the PDP is much better either. In fact, I detest both parties. But with the PDP it might just be a case of the devil you know.

Laughable nonsense! This man's hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. You insult and denigrate the President at every turn and yet you have the temerity to accuse the same President of insulting you. What impudence!

Me and my family will be voting for buhari come feb 14

Brother, you are extremely wicked! LOL. I couldn't help but laugh. So, it has reached a stage where Jonathan must do the impossible before securing your vote. Well, you are entitled to vote for whoever you choose, but you can be sure that there are countless millions who are equally enthusiastic about Jonathan. Personally, my prayer is: May the man win who will best serve Nigeria.

which record did he break in 2014? he was out injured for a good portion of the year...if Messi had won, it would have been unfair to football and the voting is ridiculously transparent, FIFA could not have tampered with the result

God bless you. C Ronaldo won it. Whoever doesn't like that way can wait till next year, when C Ronaldo may very well win it again. God bless C Ronaldo, God bless me and God bless all nairalanders.

Kenai:
Voting results:

Ronaldo - 37.66%
Messi - 15.76%
Neuer - 15.72%

Ronaldo had more votes than Messi and Neuer combined!

God bless you for this information. C Ronaldo is indeed a worthy winner. I key into his testimony. This year my God will cause me to be honoured, distinguished, garlanded, celebrated, elevated, promoted, vindicated, uplifted and favoured, in Jesus' name. Amen.

This news has made my day! My soccer icon, the great C Ronaldo has deservedly won the World's Best Player Award for 2015. As a fan of Ronaldo's, who has always rooted for him to win this award, I declare that the same God who made him successful will grant me uncommon success and promotion this year, in Jesus' name. Amen. Whoever keys into this success story will also have a special testimony this year, in Jesus' name. God bless you all.

Ok

Shameless old pedophilic bigot! Can he give out his 17- year-old daughter in marriage to someone as old as he is? Rotten hypocrite!

I wish them good luck, these Nigerian musicians with their bling-bling lifestyles. But I think it would be wiser to invest this money in something more profitable than exotic cars. I know that the pressure of keeping up with the Joneses can be overwhelming, but in the end you don't live for the Kardashians but for yourself and your family. The history of showbiz is replete with stories of celebrities who went from rags to riches and back to rags again, often with good doses of dope, booze and squandermania thrown in. Just my own thoughts. I may be wrong.

KEVIND:
Lord have Mercy! I wonder the kind of evil spirit that is behind this so called religion of peace. gusssss. A must watch for every Christian in Nigeria who are blindfolded to believe that we're serving the same God.

Thank God that people now know the truth.

Has someone ever wondered why it is that one religion accounts for so much of the violence and bloodshed experienced in the world today? The other day innocent people were gunned down in Australia. Next day the Pakistani Taliban massacred more than a hundred children in a school in Peshawar. In Kenya and Somalia, Al-Shabab militants are killing people for fun. Here in Nigeria everyone is familiar with the daily atrocities Boko Haram is committing in the north-east. Does anyone see a link between these acts of terror?

Ok

Shekau and his gang members are probably less than 100. Why does it interest you to accept his own claim against that of billions of Muslims with different views of Islam worldwide, especially Nigerian Muslims who have equally condemned the acts of BH, as the AUTHENTIC position of Islam??

By the way, Pastor Timothy Ngwu, General Overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity in Enugu said that [b][/b]God instructed him [b][/b]to impregnate over 20 female members of his church, including married women (which he actually did). I guess you'd equally agree that Christianity truly inspired him

Story for the gods, as they say. Do your research and find out which religion accounts for the highest number of suicide bombers, terrorists and militants today. Just yersterday, the Pakistani Taliban massacred more than a hundred school children in Peshawar. What religion motivated those mass murderers and to what faith do they swear allegiance? What religion permits beheadings, public lashings, and jihadist violence even today?

9jaforlife:
Yours is a clear case of bigotry! That Shekau committed Chibok crime does not mean it is approved by Islam. Except you will agree that those reverend fathers who are found guilty of sexual child abuse is approved by christianity!

You are trying to be smart by half. Shekau said on national television that "Allah" asked him to sell the Chibok girls in the market. He swore by the same deity that he would sell the girls into slavery or marry them off to his mujahedeen. So, by Shekau's admission, the motivation for his actions was clearly religious. Now tell me if those paedophilic reverend fathers that you mentioned ever cited religion as the motive for the abuses they committed? Did they try to justify their actions as a command from God?

9jaforlife:
There is nothing like forced marriage in Islam; one of the basic requirements is mutual acceptance between the couple to be. So is having a concubine or sex slave, they're all forbidden. And before you lecture me about Muslims who are guilty of these crimes, let me be the first to remind you that sex offences are not exclusive to Muslims alone, there are Reverend fathers who have been busted as p*edophiles among other examples. You're accusing somebody of lying and yet you're cooking your own lies to proof your point... You ain't different from those you're accusing!!

Oh, really? So there's no forced marriage in Islam? What happened to the Chibok girls then? Presumably they wedded their childhood loves. Perhaps Shekau gave them the freedom to choose their grooms. Nonsense!

GBTYO:
As a fundamentalist and radical Muslim, Buhari can never give out his daughter in marriage to a non Muslim.

As a Fulani Arab supremacsist, Buhari can never have any of his children marry any other tribe other than from the Hausa fulani ilk.

In Islam, it is forbidden to give the hand of a Muslim woman to a non Muslim.

But true to hypocritical and double standard Islamic doctrines and injunction, a Muslim man can and is encouraged to take a non Muslim woman or girl either willingly or by force as his wife , concubine or sex slave.


This rubbish lie is just the tip of the iceberg being circulated by the Buharists in their vain and desperate desire to see this callous and irresponsible arrogating fanatic become president of Nigeria.

God punish devil and his worshippers here on earth.

Thank you very much for these insightful comments. I didn't know we still had sensible people like you in this country.

Even though I would readily concede that President Jonathan is not so popular in the north and some parts of the south, I am not convinced that he can be defeated in 2015. In the south-south and south-east he is almost certain to win, except for Rivers State where I expect Amaechi to put up a fight. Yet even in Rivers I forsee Jonathan winning by a modest margin. In the south-west, he will carry some, if not a majority, of the states. The middle belt might reasonably be expected to go Jonathan's way; so also some states in the north-west. As for the north-east, he should abandon all hope there because the opposition, both political and military, is just too great.

mekula:
Aptly put bro. Tinubu is even worse than Atiku. Just Lagos state alone then SW, and see how this man has created an empire of corruption.

God bless you. I'm happy that you've also seen what I've seen. Those who sing the praises of APC as the party to save Nigeria are just deluding themselves. They forget that APC has godfathers and members who are in some cases even more corrupt than their PDP counterparts. Tinubu is a perfect example. His political empire is unrivalled in terms of raw greed and primitive acquisitiveness. Judging by what he has done in Lagos State and the APC-controlled south-west, I can confidently say that Tinubu has the most lucrative network of political stooges and corrupt patronage ever witnessed in this country. He practically sits like an emperor and receives tributes from his vassal states.

Did he expect the defeat to be sweet? Nonsense! In saner climes Atiku and others of his ilk would have been serving long jail terms for corruption by now. It is an aberration, an anomaly, that current and former public office holders who stole from the public till should be walking around as free men. How did Atiku earn the money to establish Nigeria's most expensive private university, in addition to other choice investments too numerous to mention? Anyway, being hewn from the same rock, Jonathan will most likely never ask such questions. After all, corruption has been the official policy and credo of all Nigerian governments since Babangida. Anyone who argues otherwise is a hypocrite. And let me quickly add that any supposed "messiah" who hobnobs with Asiwaju is just as corrupt as that bespectacled crook, who has rightly been described as the doyen of political thieves.

LastProphet:
As much as you desire a young harvard-kind of candidate for the presidency, I must tell you that your imaginary candidate will fail woefully so much your head will spin. No Harvard, genius, or young politician can even go near dealing with our biggest problem which is corruption. Corruption can only be stemmed by a totally selfless person like GMB. That is his strong point, the kind of corruption going on here was never taught or even understood in Harvard or in climes where humans are humans. So thinking that one sophisticate is the messiah you think we need is simply put a fantasy. Nigeria needs a Buhari to kill corruption before way can be paved for that young man you are talking about. My brother do you know how much GEJ and his wife has stolen since assuming office? Have you heard of NITDA? That agency has been dedicating their budget to any contractor sent by Patience since GEJ came into power. Have you heard that all contractors that did work at MDG have not been paid for like 2 years now? Do you know why? But the same MDG sent N2bn out of the N4bn they got to Patience ( I dare anybody here to challenge this). Please go to any Bank and ask if any contractor borrowed money to do MDG job have paid back in the last 2 years. See this is just a small tiny part of what GEJ has been up to. GEJ is a good person personally but not a leader at all! Not at all!

Your allegations could very well be true. I mean, they sound quite plausible in Jonathan's Nigeria. In fact, I have no doubt that corruption has reached its apogee under this current administration. But given Buhari's antecedents, I remain highly sceptical about the fate of our freedoms and our rights if power is entrusted to him. Surely you do understand my point. Therefore, I still insist that Jonathan and Buhari are not the best that Nigeria can offer. We are shortchanged if we have to choose between them.

While I congratulate Gen. Buhari on his victory at the APC presidential primaries, I remain unconvinced that a seventy-something year-old former military dictator is Nigeria's long-awaited messiah. Make no mistake, Buhari is, I believe, a very honest man. As President, he would probably be motivated to make an impact, much more than the pathetic effort that Jonathan has so far exerted. No, Muhammadu Buhari is not a bad person per se and my objection to his candidature has nothing to do with his tribe or religion. Rather, I am worried that Nigeria today has not yet birthed a political system that can allow its best and brightest, its vibrant and brilliant young minds, who exist in abundance, to rise to the highest echelons of political power. If our choices for the topmost office in our land are limited to Jonathan and Buhari, what does that say about our level of development as a nation?

I don't know if men friendzone women. But it would be good if they did. I mean, there are just too many guys languishing in the friendzone. "I- just-want-us-to-be-friends" things. Nonsense! I hate to hear that carnard. If a guy likes you, that means he wants to have you. Period. What is so difficult to understand about that? One of my guys has been frustrated and almost turned into a nervous wreck because of this same treatment. Worst of all, the girl has turned him into her financier: pocket money, recharge cards, clothes, school stuff, etc --- without any compensation or reciprocal benefits. I have had to play the role of a counsellor/psychologist to help my guy to get over the depression.

Caseless:
somebody seems pained by my inclination. I belong to that buharistic sub-culture in apc. U can go and fvck yourself.

If your situation weren't so tragic, it would have been funny. Sadly, you belong to that unfortunate class of Nigerians who, blinded by bigotry and tribalism, do not see anything wrong in a seventy-something year-old former military dictator and coup plotter coming back to power in 2015 --- and that in a country teeming with brilliant young minds. Unfortunately, you belong to that frustrated demographic whom our politicians have (mis)named "leaders of tomorrow" but whose tomorrow will never come. So, I pity you. You have never seen a Nigeria that works and you are therefore incapable of imagining one. Worse still, when you consider the apology of a President who occupies Aso Rock today, you can be excused for concluding that the only qualification one needs to ascend to that position is shoelessness. So, I understand the reasons for your "buharistic" tendency although I don't subscribe to it. In my opinion, Nigeria deserves an infinitely better leader than Buhari, Atiku and Jonathan can ever become.
