OLADD:
Stop this attitude of always vilifying govt functionaries for pointing out the underhand activities of the Nigerian opposition. As a private citizen, I can confirm to you (God bear witness) how there was constant power outage by PHCN in my area anytime PDP or GEJ was about to hold a televised campaign but the opposite occured anytime APC was campaigning. This is not a fabrication but verified truth. The fact that APC has been using NLC, PHCN and other bodies to sabotage and undermine the efforts of GEJ's administration is a common knowledge. Muazu was absolutely right.

So APC controls the PHCN now, right?

But his face is all over the internet, especially on Twitter. He even has a Twitter account (can't remember the handle).

He is the most popular face on Twitter. His picture is the go-to picture for memes. His various facial expressions are fit for different memes. I once came across his Twitter acct; operated by his mum (or sister).

3 weeks because of the Welcome Back stuff. E for be 8 yrs, if no be MTN wey just decide to make it non-functional ;(

Myopic u say? smh...i dont tink u knw wat dat means.
D lady had her faults, yes! but did d mister's actions solved d probs? Hell no! but rather complicated it. This is whr d issue of selfcontrol comes in,women will always be women.
Ladies r not meant to be trampled upon but be cared for.
at ds juncture...i quit

Self control, you say? When the dude held her down to prevent her from assaulting him, she grabbed his phone and smashed it. So he should have just laughed it off, right? The dude is human and there's a limit to what a human can take before he snaps. When he also went out of the house, the same lady came after him, and in full glare of everyone started insulting him. What is it about the phrase 'women will always be women' , by the way? If it means that they'll always insult their men, then they should know that men also have an ego to protect. They can't eat their cake and have it. Respect is a two-way street.

If you are not jobless, then you must be either sentimental, or tribalistic. I don't know the rational for supporting GMB.

There is something most of you are not telling us, maybe this government has not favoured you. Its more than just you not liking GEJ, its more of who will favour ur cronies.

I have spoken.

But when people of the South-South vote for GEJ because he's their son, it's not tribalistic or sentimental, right? Tell families who have lost loved ones to BH or youths who fell for the NIS scam or people who are aghast that a convict was given a presidential pardon or me who isn't having electricity despite paying my bills that we're the sentimental ones and we don't have a rationale for wanting the govt out.

This is exercise in futility because Jega isn't going anywhere. Why should he?

So the husband actually peeped first, what if it had been the wife of another man, him self won tap small current jor.

But the husband didnt claim to peep. He said he snucked up to the man, then tapped him.

Generals02:
And perhaps only 5% of the 60% have successfully gotten a voter's card.

PDP is leaving no stone unturned.

5% you say. The region has the highest percentage of PVC collection.

MizMyColi:

Seems PDP is hellbent on frustrating INEC.

SiriusBlack, hope you're good? Topic's finally on FP.

Back in secondary school, one extra curricular activity I was always enthused about is the debate. Though I never participated in them because of my coyness, I was usually in the background providing points to the debaters. Something I learnt then was to always attack issues- the topic at hand. Attacking the personality of a fellow debater was a no-go area.
During the campaign for the 2015 elections, lots of events have occurred.
I watched Channels' Politics Today on  January 11 & the guest, a member of President Jonathan's cabinet veered off the topic of discourse and went on a mudslinging spree. Instead of convincing me why I should vote for his principal by enumerating achievements, he was telling me why I shouldn't vote for their opponent by painting the opponent bad. Without exaggerating, the man spent 85% of the allotted time slandering the opposition.
Some few days before, all the presidential candidates had signed a peace pact in Abuja. A part of the pact talks about engaging in issue-based campaigns. This shouldn't have been rocket science as the myriad of problems confronting the nation really deserves explanations. The incumbent is supposed to outline its achievements- its successes after 5 years in office. Yet, it's this incumbent that goes about attacking the opposition. It's pertinent to note that this current government enjoyed a large dose of goodwill during the last election. How it squandered that goodwill is baffling to me. Or maybe we have different definitions of what an issue-based campaign entails. The campaign organisation of the PDP has been raising dust in the polity by going after irrelevances- from asking Gen Buhari why his wife isn't seen in public with him, to them saying he doesn't know his phone number and that he should jog round a stadium to prove his fitness- as if the rigours of campaigning all over the country isn't enough stress.
Another line in the peace pact emphasised the importance of all parties from refraining from inciting speeches capable of causing electoral violence. Yet, while Gen Buhari keeps campaigning, I haven't heard him or a member of APC giving inciting speeches. Sadly, same can't be said for the PDP, the ruling party. On January 9, 2015, a PDP governor, Ayo Fayose sponsored a front page ad in a national newspaper where he vilified the North Western part of the country for producing leaders that 'die in office'. General Buhari is from Katsina state, North Western Nigeria. Some days before, the PDP gubernatorial candidate for Lagos state, Jimi Agbaje had said that if Goodluck Jonathan isn't reelected, the militants in the Niger Delta would cripple the economy. What Jimi meant is that whether Jonathan deserves a second term or not, he MUST return to Aso Rock so that the militants will be appeased. Such buffoonery! The Vice President, Namadi Sambo took this inciting and divisive acts further when he said in their campaign in Jigawa that the electorate shouldn't vote for Gen Buhari because his running mate is a pastor. Is a pastor not qualified to contest for elections? Issue-based campaign indeed! When I read that, I was thoroughly ashamed to be a Nigerian. In Niger state, he also called the opposition party a Christian party wh1o do not deserve to be in power. Jigawa and Niger states are in the Northern part of Nigeria where majority of the inhabitants are Muslims. Down south, the PDP and their supporters claim that the APC is an Islamic party whose agenda is to islamize Nigeria. Are these folks confused?
When former Central Bank governor, Prof Charles Soludo published an article discussing the state of the nation's economy under President Jonathan and how the economy had been pummeled, the president's team chose to attack Soludo than respond to the issues he raised. Femi Fani-Kayode, the spokesman for President Jonathan campaign organisation said Soludo should not be taken serious because he has been associating with the opposition. Meanwhile, in that same article, Soludo had questioned the feasibility of APC's manifesto. In a sharp contrast from FFK's submission, the APC, through Dr Kayode Fayemi replied the professor in a courteous manner that the professor had to acknowledge the civility in a rejoinder.
Lastly, I think that while politics is being played during this campaign, decorum should be adhered to. The vituperative PDP-sponsored documentary on AIT about Buhari is capable of distorting history. While at it, the PDP mocked the death of Buhari's daughter, as if it's to a father's joy to lose a child.

Have you seen the one conducted by AIT? How did those 'youths' conduct a poll involving 6 million people and I didn't hear of it. It wasn't even discussed in the social media.

ControlX:
I laugh when people who don't know the deep
information about State Affairs just follow the
popular believes that is false and incorrect...
Goodluck Jonathan ended the subsidy fraud...
Goodluck Jonathan deregulated the Power Sector
and ended the fraudulent NEPA contracts.
He removed ghost workers from civil service and
reduce ill gotten wealth.
By 2015 ending, the majority of the Oil Block
licenses ill gotten by the Northerners during the
Military regime will expire; Goodluck Jonathan has
refused to renew the oil blocks license in order to
re-award it to deserving Nigerians and the south-
south rightful owners too. Now they have brought
in a Buhari in order to fulfill their lust for Oil and
Power. Yet people are blinded by fake promise of
Change #smh
Goodluck Jonathan has also handed NPA
verification to a third party and eliminated port
frauds.
It hurt them He stopped the bootlegging in fertilizer
distribution.
Goodluck Jonathan hurt them by making sure they
don't hoard petroleum product and Nigerians will
sleep at filling stations while they make
astronomical profits.
Jonathan has pinched them where it hurt most by
making sure elections are free and fair & they can't
impose their candidates on us.
He hurt the cabal by looking into their face and
telling them NO Sir! Now they ganged up against
him... They cant prevail against God's choosen
one. Goodluck Jonathannever struggled to get to
Asorock, God took him there and God is the ONLY
one that can take him out of there and not these
sycophants and fake-Change agents.
You had better WATCH ooo! Hope you are not
fighting against him whom God put in charge!
# ThinkDeeply

No, I'm not fighting against him who God put in charge. I'm fighting against GEJ under whose administration lots of lives have been needlessly lost. God took GEJ there via Nigerians' votes and He'll also remove him via those same votes.

derecho:
If what you said is true,what makes you believe Buhari can not change now?GEJ may not have done his best,but Buhari no be am

Because if he wanted to do it, he would have done it when no one would have opposed him (as a military leader with so much unquestionable power). Is it now that he has the different arms of govt & Nigerians are now more enlightened that he'll do it. Think, my friend, think.

Buhari's electoral values dwarfs Kwankwaso's. So the suggestion is dead on arrival.

CIA indeed! I guess the white man in this picture is also CIA, right?

shortgun:
1. Where is the "mammoth crowd" that usually welcomes Buhari wherever he goes for campaigns?

2.is that not a private jet in d background that Buhari is using for his campaigns?

My friend, that's not the venue. That's obviously he airport. Do you expect the airport to be so crowded?

Quay

Unsavoury and petty.

1wolex85:
guy please stop this thing, ffk has no influence whatsoever in osun.

How many people even know that he's from Osun? He has no influence in Osun politics. APC's got Osun.

Twitter is prompt; you can't deny not seeing the information. The 'other' one can be denied by the military. I believe the military usually asks citizens to come forward with information. I didn't get the memo where they specified the means of passing that information though.

Are we all just going to ignore the General's last comment? That's where the insult lies in my opinion. I think the general should have stopped after the Oby's second comment.
