GEJ is probably one of the busiest presidents in the world. Where does this man get all this energy? Can Buhari actually withstand the rigours of a presidential position or he just wants a state funeral? 75yr old Buhari go quench within 3 months of this job hence Tinubu is positioning his men. ![]()

Wow! What a revelation, I had all this while thought Remi Tinubu was mother to GEJ's children. Hmm!!! |
This interview reveals how much we have advanced as a nation. The Northern oligarchy headed by Babangida and Buhari are being weakened day by day. If only Abiola was alive to see the progress we've achieved, no more born to rule. NO SURRENDER TO HAUSA/FULANI hegemony. SAI NO to Bukohari. |
Mr President your prayers will be granted in Jesus name, nothing do you. May your enemies continue to fight amongst themselves and may Buhari live to watch your inauguration on TV like he did in 2011. [size=15pt]GEJ/SAMBO 2015[/size]

RayCharles:We live in a democracy, gone are the days when OBJ would pursue his opponents with EFCC, times has changed. |
ilugunboy:Those who were acquitted were acquitted by the courts, Tinubu also profited from the lax in the EFCC? I mean how could a man with so many foreign accounts be acquitted by our courts? You should be blaming the courts and the EFCC whose job it is to prosecute criminals. |

Bros am enjoying kwanza here even with my baby. |
ilugunboy:But saying sharia should be welcomed in pluralistic Nigeria doesn't show bias towards religious intolerance, No? GEJ is far from being corruption friendly, I bet you want us to return to the age of the president using EFCC against his opponents. It is the duty of EFCC to take corrupt officials to court, its not part of the president's job description. |
ilugunboy:In one corner you people paint GEJ as a corruption loving president, when we put Buhari under religious scrutiny you lots scream fowl. You can't have it all your way. |
According to him, Buhari’s desperation to get elected as president is behind hisBy their fruits ye shall know them. Sharia loving Bukohari is now friends of Christians and Shekau is also a Roman Catholic loving terrorist abi? Hahaha waka make I pass joor. |
At last someone has said what most Nigerians already know>Buhari is Bokoharam, plain and simple. |
Buhari is trusted by bokoharam, I wonder why? |
GEJ trampled on the witches and they had no choice but to accept defeat. Those who God has anointed, no living thing can defeat them. |
APC recycling PDP's waste products since 1999. |
chukwudi44: ![]() I think we should leave him to give all the states in Nigeria to Buhari, he's allowed to dream. |
PassingShot:Your research have to be presented side by side with other researches except you live on beer parlour style politics in which case I'd excuse myself. Bros you can let Buhari win 99% of the votes, its your thread, you are guaranteed freedom to spew jack shiit in the constitution. Passing the fantasy notion that exist in your head might be up for debate, but I'd let you enjoy your dream, wake up before February though. |
If their theory (whenYou read my mind, my exact sentiments. |
PassingShot:What do you mean by how is my contribution related to the topic? You just opened a thread to post your prediction, am here posting a prediction from a research done by a partisan journalist who supports Buhari. Why is it not related, is it because it burst the above bubble? Read Kolawole's detailed research and stop plucking figures from thin air. If you don't know who Kolawole is, I suggest you do a google search. Again am sorry if I burst your bubble. ENJOY!!! |
[size=15pt]HOW JONATHAN WILL WIN 2015 ELECTION[/size] Written by [size=15pt]Simon Kolawole[/size] ex This day editor and a die-hard Buhari supporter. I have been listening to comments and reading analyses on the 2015 presidential election with rapt attention. There is nothing unanimous in the predictions and projections, but I am sensing a trend in the analyses: that if the All Progressives Congress (APC) fields Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) against President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), then it will be a piece of cake for the former head of state. A Buhari supporter, in a recent newspaper interview, said Buhari's votes in the North plus Bola Tinubu's votes in the south-west equal automatic victory for APC. Slow down a bit, guys. I have no intention of raining on anyone's parade or pouring cold water on exciting calculations, but analyses do not have to be this simplistic. If the history and politics of elections in Nigeria are to be of any use in these postulations, the safest bet will be to say there are still many rivers to cross. My intention today is to draw attention to several facts and factors that will be at play during the elections. Many things are still taking shape; opportunities and threats still exist for the PDP and the APC. It is too early in the day to arrive at definite conclusions. Let us look into some of the assumptions one by one. The first is that Buhari will clear the votes in the core North and Tinubu will deliver the South-west votes in one basket. That Buhari will win in the core North has never been in dispute ─ he has done so consistently since 2003. It is unthinkable that he will not win there. However, I'm not sure Tinubu can clear the South-west the same way Buhari could do in the core North. It appears many commentators have not been monitoring recent developments in the South-west. To start with, two of the six states ─ Ekiti and Ondo ─ are now in the hands of PDP. That is important to note. Meanwhile, the APC is getting weaker in Oyo state. The three APC senators have left the party; the death of Alhaji Alao Arisekola has dealt some body blow on Governor Abiola Ajimobi; former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala (PDP) is on a rebound; former Governor Rashidi Ladoja, who controls large portions of Ibadan, is complicating things for APC. In Ogun, Governor Ibikunle Amosun is under fire from within and without. Chief Olusegun Osoba, in whose camp the Ogun APC senators and house members are, is playing hard ball with Amosun. The PDP, meanwhile, is bringing back its break-up groups and rebuilding in the state. In simple words, Oyo and Ogun have become very shaky and it is a bit tenuous to assume the South-west will vote en bloc for APC in 2015. I may well be wrong, but I am seeing a split of the zone's 13.5 million votes. The South-west, in my opinion, is neither here nor there yet. No assumptions should be made and no conclusions should be reached yet, certainly not in October 2014. Of course, the APC is not sleeping and is also hoping to gain from the fall-outs from PDP's possible slips in the coming weeks. But South-west does not look like one-way traffic as at today. Meanwhile, there is also this assumption that Buhari ─ or APC ─ does not need the South-east and South-south (SESS). That is ridiculous. First, it is not good for Buhari's CV that he has never won in any Southern state since he launched his presidential bid in 2003. Not one state. And it is also not good political strategy to downplay SESS. There are 11 states in these two geo-political zones. The APC calculation may be that the South-south would rather have a "son of the soil" as president. The South-east, it seems, is fully joined in matrimony to South-south under Jonathan's presidency. But does that mean giving up without a fight? Let us now reverse the case. Jonathan, despite knowing that the core North will be a difficult hunting ground for him, is putting up a decent fight. He is working to secure as many votes as possible in Buhari's territory. The president has gathered many strong politicians to his side. Now let us do some basic calculations. SESS has 17 million votes combined. Buhari's home zone, North-west, has 18.7 million registered voters. If Jonathan bites off as much as 30-40% of the votes in the North-west (which he did in 2011) while Buhari does poorly in SESS (like before), Jonathan would clearly gain more than Buhari in the candidates' home zones. Jonathan's chances, in the meantime, are also bright among the Northern minorities. It could be minority solidarity, I can't say. The North-central has 11 million names on the voter register. Jonathan's reconciliation with former military, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, and the governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, could help him in Niger state. Kogi, Plateau, Nasarawa and Benue would ordinarily back Jonathan. But Kwara, which supported him in 2011, is now uncertain, with the godfather, Bukola Saraki, relocating to APC. Buhari will fancy his chances in Kwara, that is if Saraki can ward off his PDP foes, who look very formidable. In truth, Kwara now looks more like a tight corner for both parties. The North-east, boasting of 11 million registered voters, could be a mixed bag. Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe and Borno have always gone to Buhari, while Taraba and Adamawa seem to have a thing for Jonathan. But something significant has changed in Borno: Ali Modu Sheriff is now in PDP. Since 1999, Borno has always faced any direction Sheriff pointed to, and his defection must be considered a loss to APC. I was not surprised at APC's reaction when Sheriff left: Borno's 2.5 million votes are the nation's fifth largest after Lagos (5.4m), Kano (4.7m), Kaduna (3.7m) and Katsina (2.9m). Being Buhari's familiar hunting ground, however, Borno could still be game for him. Before I shut down my computer, I would like to maintain that unlike many observers and analysts, I foresee a very competitive election. And, I think, four months to the polls, we should avoid jumping into certain conclusions. One of the major failings of the opposition is that they underrated Jonathan's ability to respond to the momentum they gained last year. Before they could settle down to savour the heavyweight defections from PDP to APC, the Jonathan camp had launched a counter offensive, in addition to benefitting from crises arising from the consolidation process of APC. Therefore, dear readers, with what I have seen in Nigeria in the last few months, and what I understand about the dynamics of our electoral politics, I would conclude that the day is still young. For the two leading parties, there are still many hurdles to clear. Let the game begin! http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/jonathan-and-the-2015-calculations/192278 The whole nation knows GEJ will win, except dreamers. |
Buhari is not semi-illiterate, he is an illiterate, real mumu. Any one who thinks they can stabilize world oil prices is batshiit insane, a complete mugu.
|
Former Nigerian Military President, General IbrahimI don't like Babangida but I think he's right on this one, no one wants the Bukohari leader except bokoharam. |
patrickmuf:My initial response was to the person saying GEJ said stealing is not corruption, I made the person realise Buhari is not the anti corruption zsar we await. Lastly if you must judge GEJ's anti corruption drive, put same zeal in exposing the fraudulent anti corruption crusade of the Bukohari leader.
|
Horo:Why do you people always resort to same rhetoric when Buhari is under scrutiny? Thank God his decree number 4 that stopped Nigerians from criticising him in the 1980s is dead and buried. |
Maku will be back in PDP in the near future if PDP wants him back. If PDP rejects him, he can always join other PDP rejects in APC. |
patrickmuf:I see you as one of the people always afraid to put Buhari under scrutiny. You should have berated Buhari before stating the above. Buhari wouldn't do more than GEJ as regards corruption, we live under a democracy. |
Etinosajay:Thanks for your good and reasoned reply, we all want a country to be proud of, in my case Buhari has no role in the Nigeria of my dreams. All in all, you appeared to be a reasonable fellow. |
pro2010:And the North would unanimously vote Buhari? Try leaving your comfort zone and travelling to some northern states like Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Kogi, Adamawa and southern Kaduna. Some said GEJ was dead in the South West yet PDP control Ekiti and Ondo, bros you can start congratulating me now, you honestly don't have to wait till february to do so. |
Buhari: " Any political party that complain ofBuhari ready to rig himself to power, no way mallam. A pig is a pig with or without lipstick. |
