Your client base is majority liberals who believe in clean energy and protecting the environment yet you went ahead to support a president who’s the exact opposite of that.

As we’re speaking he’s laid of environmental protection workers in our national parks. And signed an executive order giving for profit companies authority to begin cutting down over 250 million acres of protected forests. If he succeeds there will be nothing left for the children in the future. Pls your company deserves to disappear from the surface of the earth.

Because you are broke doesn't mean everyone is.

Based on your logic, only billionaires should be able to talk about Elon.
What a very shallow way of seeing world issues. All you see is money and nothing else.

nairalandadeux:
LOL...every national assembly has been called rubber stamp assembly.

It has always been the ruling party dominating the national assembly most of the time.

So, insulting prophet Mohammed is part of freedom of expression?

If there's one thing I hate about being a Muslim, it is Islam forbidding me from insulting Jesus. If we can insult Jesus like those filts insult Mohammed, there would have been no need to get physical.

Blasphemy will continue to be dangerous, whether you all like it or not. Even Jesus was crucified for blasphemy, but I guess most Christians don't even know that .

Just keep your miserable opinions about other people's religion to yourselves, and everyone will be fine.

"I want to thank the government for rescuing us. I was chained for 32 days. I want to advise that the government should find away to disarm or arrest them (bandits), instead of confronting them."

Typical of them , them kill your wife you dey thank Government .

3kay945:
Is this man brain still intact They killed your wife in your presence and you want them to be freed, right?!

Just because they are 17 to 21 years and illiterate?!

Your wife soul must be cursing wherever she is.

Some months ago, I wrote a piece on why I think Jonathan should not be re-elected in 2015 and I did promise when asked on the thread to let the people know my opinion on Buhari’s 2015 presidential ambition. I think the time is right to talk about this since the general has formally declared to run. Unfortunately, my thread on Jonathan went with the data challenge that affected Nairaland. But for those who didn’t read it and are interested in reading it, you can find it here: http://oam4j..com/2014/04/why-jonathan-should-not-be-re-elected.html

Let me digress a bit and talk about my preferred candidates… If God calls on me today and tells me he is going to let me singlehandedly decide who should be the next president of Nigeria, then come May 2015 Madam “Due Process” Oby Ezekwesili will be sworn in as the next president. This is one person I believe understands the challenges of Nigeria and knows what must be done to move Nigeria on the path of greatness. Madam Oby is one courageous woman who I believe will without fear of favour pilot the affair of this nation like a true mother to greatness. Till date the government of the day is yet to take up her challenge for an open debate. I was also not surprised with her frank and sincere speech when APC invited her to their meeting.

But I doubt the political parties of the day will field someone like her. I also don’t see the likes of Dangote, Otedola etc putting their money in her campaign. But should this woman decide to contest for the highest office one way or the other, she has my support and vote, even if am sure she will not win.

My second preferred candidate is Babatunde Raji Fashola: In 2007 I was rooting for Funsho Williams as the next governor of my state - Lagos, then Funsho Williams was killed and I shifted my support for Jimi Agbaje. I disliked the way Tinubu came up with Fashola because at the back of my mind I felt he was trying to push his “boy-boy” on us, and I felt bad when he won but hoped for the best. But 2 years down the lane I came to Nigeria again and I saw a new and better Lagos. I breathe True Fresh-Air at Oshodi and drove on tarred road to my house unlike before. Everywhere I went I saw Fashola’s government working. And I said ‘thank God Fashola won’. Needless to say I supported his re-election in 2011.

With Fashola as the president of this country, I see our power problem finally solved and massive construction everywhere and Nigeria joining the league of developed Nations.

But in 2015, I doubt majority from the North will support any southern presidential candidate because they still feel cheated with the death of Yar’Adua. And all the likes of Peter Obi need to do is campaigned that Fashola ‘deported’ thousands of Ndigbos from Lagos and Fashola is Awolowo’s pikin... your guess is as good as mine on possible outcomes.

Even if Fashola does not become a president in 2015 I hope for the sake of the nation’s progress he is made the Power or Works’ Minister should the opposition win.

Now back to Buhari, in 2011, I supported and campaigned for this general and truly believed he could make a difference if elected, but it didn’t come to be. So I expected Buhari to follow through his promise of not contesting again. What I had hoped for was Buhari becoming a model to young, bright, fairly honest and courageous people to take over from him, giving them all the moral supports they need to succeed. But that didn’t happen.

The question therefore is: If I have to pick between Jonathan and Buhari who will I support?

While I would have preferred a more articulate and younger Buhari, I will certainly not choose or support a man that think stealing is not corruption... definitely not Jonathan. My views about him from my write up have not changed. So I will pick Buhari over Jonathan by miles. Buhari's records as Petroleum Minister, head of state and chairman of PTF speak volume.

I don’t place Buhari in the same intellectual capacity with Oby and Fashola, but what Buhari lacks in this department he has more in integrity, courage and ability to identify capable hands and use them. If we must face reality, as things stands in the opposition now, Buhari has more chances to send Mr I-had-no-shoe back to Otueke with million pairs of shoes to last him three lifetimes than any other opposition candidate.

“…if we are unhappy with what we have, the logical thing to do is to attempt to change it with our votes and to change the next one too if we do not find what we want until we find what we all want. That is when the people would truly have attained power” – Babatunde Fashola

Let me end on a light note with something I observed here on Nairaland and other social media; anytime Buhari’s name is mentioned I see PDP supporters and Jonathanians suddenly become special consultants/advisers for the oppositions on how to choose the best presidential candidate. They will suggest 'better' candidates, analyse how Buhari is unelectable and how Buhari’s candidacy means easy passage for Jonathan. But IMO, I think they are afraid of Buhari. If they are sure Buhari is a walk-over for Jonathan, they will be encouraging the opposition to field him rather than advising them to choose another.

Thanks for reading.

Nobody practices open defecation more than yolobas, that is why Lagos stinks and if they tell you, you will start getting angry.

shivisee:
You IPOBs are the dumbest people in the whole wide world! A man made an opinion , the next is for you to generalise a whole tribe What level of madness is this?? Is there’s any tribe that come close to Yoruba when it comes to been tolerant and accommodating?? Most of the rubbish you idiotic IPOBs bring to the Yorubas can you tolerate half of them? You opened your sewage mouth to call Yorubas tribalistic even when the world knows that tribalism is the second nature of the ibos ??

trainingict:
SEUN, I Know they can also delete this post before it is submitted. I know there are investors and they control moderation.

You may think problem cannot break out in South West, if it does, personalities and institutions that suppresses YORUBAs initiatives cannot escape being wasted .

They cannot be deleting responses to postings that attack YORUBAS intellect. Olota of Otta and Presidency may have to be aware. They cannot be suspending accounts to prevent responses to attacks on YORUBAS intellect.

whippersnapper:
Gaskiya Kam. The religious and tribal war going on in this forum is alarming and calls for concern. Makes me think one Nigeria is a myth.

Ghostagain:
The stupidity of Nigerians is always underestimated.

Your fanatisme for religion and your lack of understanding of history and current affairs will always lead you into being manipulated by people who consider you as "human animals" or just "animals".

I sincerely only have shame to be associated with you guys. Your sheer stupidity and childlike attitude are incredibly repulsive.

Guestmale:
Governor Makinde whom are you trying to impress with this, don't allow something that will eventually bring horror and sorrow to the people of Oyo state even after you must have left as governor.

Or maybe this is a fake news.

Fkmodhi:
This Hamas Muslim terrorist don strike again

Eze2000:
You have a good understanding of a problem but not entirely.


Going by the history of the Bible Israel has no land radar the migrated from Egypt to take a land already occupied by the Palestines

Says biblical times show many wars have been fought between Israel and Palestine for that land. Even Gaza was a city in the Bible before Israel

God eventually gave us your dad land by divine law bought the Palestine and the Arab do not recognize god and this is the problem

Because different Muslim empire have conquered and occupied those lands since ancient times the children of Israel's scattered around the world and rather Palestine made the land they are traditional home

It was only after the first world that the children of Israel began to return to their ancient home and demand that it become a modern state

Several new wars were fourth and Israel was formed by Force

When you hear the Palestine say... From the river to the sea.. they refer to Israel's migration from ebypt into a land that was not originally theirs


The Bible says the children of Israel cross the river Nile into the sani mountains where they spent 40 years before heading to the land of Palestine and conquered it and now that land borders the sea


That time from the river to the sea.. that is palestines telling you that Israel came from the river but will be pushed into the sra




Modify

Please for those of you quoting me that there was nothing like Palestine in ancient time be aware that there was nothing like Italy in Asian times either

The entity you are looking for rather is philistine and Rome respectively

Erdogan biggest mistake is sponsoring and conniving with the enemies to toppled Bashar Al Assaad... Let see who will come to his aid this time.

Meanwhile, my friend botragelad, remember not to leave your bunker for your own safety.

shoodboi2:
Why are you denying that the US backs HTS? Why did the US remove the $10 million bounty previously placed on him the moment he agreed to attack and remove Assad?

Keep your lies to yourself. Al-Jolani and HTS are backed by the US and Turkey.

papyjaypaul:
I agree with the sentiments of the corps member but I don't condone indiscipline. She must have done orientation and read the NYSC bylaws. Gen Z act without thinking, they think the social media is another universe that exists outside the real world. As a NYSC member, you are a civil servant for one year. That government can use you how they want for one year. If they want to draft you to fight another country, you have no choice as a corps member. For now, Tinubu is your boss as a NYSC member and you do not have the authority to speak on some things while you are still in service. Know this and know peace, this is how you start learning things as an adult. You need to read the rules of the game before playing in it.

madridguy:
Israel stopped food from entering Gaza in violation of the ceasefire conditions. The Houthis have declared a blockade on Israel in return.

Why is America fighting Israel’s wars?i think Trump is also making the same mistake Biden made too.

Let wait for the Houthis response.

Russia is literally the most sanctioned country in the world. Few more economic sanctions will not change anything. The Russian economy is now sanction proof. Even Western companies that left Russia in 2022 are now making a U-turn.

But God1000, I thought you said Trump is a Russian puppet?

God1000:
His intent all along, Putin got what he wanted. The meeting was a set up.

Is he going to suspend US military aid to Israel too?

Krismas:
Stop talking nonsense and go watch battle videos coming out from Gaza. Hamas fight Israel face to face.
Abi was Hamas hiding in tunnel Oct7 wen dey killed over 700 IDF inside Israel? Nonsense

adebowales:
before you continue ranting bla bla bla! I have only one question for you! Did isreal really care about rescuing the hostages alive even when they continue bombarding Gaza from the air, a place they suspect the hostages are being kept?
