At times like this, I always wonder if Nigeria will ever make it as one indivisible entity. Why are we always pulling in different directions? The attitude of APC in consonance with some of the Yoruba owned media houses like Punch & Nation leaves much to be desired. Just because of their ambition to see Buhari in Aso rock, they threw caution & professionalism to the marines by ridiculing not just GEJ but the office of the president, the military & the Nigerian state. Aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks by al Qaeda on USA saw the rallying around of all Americans irrespective of race, creed or party affiliation to support George Bush. Why is that of Nigeria different? Why do APC see the defeat of boko haram as against their interest? What do they gain by ridiculing the office of the president, the Nigerian army & by extension the Nigerian state? It is preposterous, outlandish, unreasonable, illogical & height of stupidity for anyone to imagine that Chad could tinker with the possibility of holding back any part of Nigeria after we must routed the terrorists. The apparent positive results from the ongoing onslaught against boko haram is due to the fact that those boko haram terrorists have no were to retreat to due to the lockdown of our borders with Cameroun, Chad & Niger unlike before when they had free reign to cross borders at will & hide when any country gives them heat, now its either they fight, surrender or die, there is no retreat! Maybe having a very free press is not too good, probably going the Egyptian way might be better for us considering the damage Punch, Nation & other unprofessional national dailies are doing to us. We understand AFP's propaganda of trying to rubbish our military while trumpeting Chad's army. The world powers, especially France & USA does not want a strong Nigeria that could possibly challenge them on African issues, so the weaker Nigeria is, the better for them. GEJ would one day leave Aso rock whether in 2015 or 2019 but our actions would determine whether Nigeria will survive or not!

Imao that's the irony of APC, they can't stand his appearance yet they want to foist him on us. Tifnubu this yaradua situation you want to bring about will not work, chai, diaris Goduo

I didn't say Buhari would win all 19 Northern states, I meant he would get at least 25% of all votes cast in the 19nothern states and 6southwestern States to avoid a runoff!! Pls don't insult me, if you don't understand what I said ask for clarification, GEJ win Lagos?LOL!! Taraba? oh please!! I also didn't say Buhari would win any state in the Southeast or SouthSouth!! Calm down and read my comments well b4 u jump into conclusions, if you don't understand the stats, ask others that know better and stop exhibiting ur ignorance.

Dude you are certainly the ignorant one. Mark my word, Buhari will not win any state in the north with majority Christian population, Buhari will not win Lagos state, fact is that majority of Igbos & people from s.south & middle belt resident in Lagos will vote for GEJ while Yoruba votes will be divided between those who believe that GEJ performed(the enlightened ones) & those who will vote for Buhari basically because Osinbajo is his vice(the sentimental/tribalistic ones). A poll that was conducted recently showed that many Nigerians are still undecided on whom to vote for but the recent gains against boko haram & controversies surrounding Buhari's health has tilted the bulk of these people towards GEJ. People talking about Gbagbo situation in Nigeria are living in a fools paradise, GEJ cannot be disgraced or forced out of office & Nigeria will still remain one, that will ultimately lead to the violent disintegration of Nigeria. This is not 1967 when Igbos were isolated & attacked by all Nigerians, the current alliance between S.east & S.south has never been this cosy & the divide & conquer tactics will not work again!

I amba kogite too GMb would sweep 95%:kogite vote

You are not from Kogi state! If you are, then tell me your tribe, village & LGA?

Shubbylee:
the 25% needed is not done by regions, it is done by states (i.e the winner must win 25% of d votes in 24 states) there are 19 in the North and 6 in the southwest plus He's going to win in Edo that gives Buhari the needed 2/3 of the states!! understand?

Your analysis is not only biased but farfetched & unrealistic! So you believe Buhari will win the 19 northern states as well as the 6 S.west states?? If you think that Buhari will win states like Plateau, Taraba, Kogi, Benue et al in the north & states like Lagos, Ondo & Ekiti in the S.west or any state in S.south & S.east then you are delusional. I don't see Buhari wining the election, even if its very free & fair!!

Kill them all before they kill you. Good news everywhere I turn to.

Teejizzle:
slowpoke who was the vp candidate of Buhari in 2011?

I have come to understand that most supporters of APC lack logical analysis, are brainwashed & behave like touts but I won't call you a re.ta.rd since you have already shown you are one. Why did you reject Buhari in 2003, 2007 & 2011 only to clamour for him now? Where you so stupid not to vote for him thrice or what change did you observe in him now

You are spot on bro, I noticed that two weeks ago & the funny thing is that as the APC/Buhari likes keeps waning as the days go by, that of PDP/GEJ keeps increasing. Remember that opinion polls has it that majority of Nigerians were still undecided on who they will vote & APC capitalized on that to attack GEJ/PDP with propaganda using boko haram & corruption as launch pad but with the postponement came the military onslaught against boko haram & recovery of territory, again the issue of Buhari's health & its benchmark against yaradua by PDP supporters of late is doing serious damage to Buhari's candidacy. Above all, the recent advertisement of GEJ's uncommon transformation seemed to have taken the wind out of APC's sail.

Since she is tired of life & wants to die then its better for to kill herself in the hands of the mob than to commit forced mass suicide on hapless people

arewafederation:
These so called Arewa youths are unpatriotic Nigerians who probably got "PROTECTION" from PDP. They fail to realise that this election is not about North or South, but about rescuing this country from the brink of collapse and restoring its lost glory.

I have said several times that even if Buhari dies on the seat, I have a lot of confidence in Osinbajo, who I would prefer to see in the presidency a million times over Sambo or any other northerner in the killer party PDP.


These Arewa youths should enjoy their protection while it lasts.



Sai Buhari....

Just listen to yourself! "Even if he, Buhari dies on the seat, you have confidence in Isinbajo" My question to you is this, what gave you the impression that Osinbajo is better than GEJ or even Sambo? Do you think that governance is all about rhetoric? What position has Osinbajo occupied ab initio for you to have such confidence in him? The more you people talk & inadvertently expose yourself, the more it becomes apparent that most people chanting Sai Buhari/APC are doing so basically on primordial ethnic sentiment. Ask yourself, you Yoruba man, if Osinbajo is replaced with an Igbo man will you still be passionate about Buhari?? The answer is obvious because you thrice rejected Buhari in 2003, 2007 & 2011 only to come now & be shouting Sai Buhari. Now the question again is why did you reject Buhari only to be clamouring for him now, did he accept Christ as his lord & personal saviour or what change did he undergo for him to have become the messiah Nigeria needs now

I have some questions I'll want Jega-Jaga to answer, why is over 400,000 PVC's yet to be delivered two weeks after the election which he claimed he was ready to conduct was supposed to take place? Why is Lagos having this problem when Kano which we were told against all forensic, logical & obvious reasons to have a higher population than Lagos not experiencing same?? Why is war torn North was states like Borno were boko haram was in control of large swats of the state having around 90% PVC distribution rate when most peaceful southern states are hovering around 60%! This recurring statement that people are not coming forward to collect their PVC is not the truth because a lot of people have been coming forward only to be frustrated that their PVC's are not available! It has become expedient that Jega has to go & the election postponed once more to correct the lapses. Too bad that Jega allowed himself to be used!

This is why I love my Enyimba city! Every fvrkup must be treated. That midget of a governor called T.A orji deserves the worst form of imaginable insult that could be poured on him. Nobody asked him to build airports or flyovers or monorail which is not even impossible based on IGR & oil producing status of Abia but basic social & infrastructural amenities like roads, pipe borne water, schools, street lights, prompt evacuation of refuse etc yet this man failed woefully, not even a single legacy in his name after 8 years! Instead of working to improve the state, he & his family embezzled everything & used some change to do P.R on pages of newspapers about phantom projects that were inexistent. That man is pure evil, I wonder how he manages to sleep at night with all the curses raining on him.

berem:
.....and he's the chairman of southeast governor's forum.
What a shame!

I doubt if you are really Igbo, I have observed how you derive pleasure in castigating Igbos.That T.A Orji is chairman of S.East governors forum does not mean its by merit or anything but simply because its rotational amongst the five S.East states!

Idrismusty97:
Off shore? Doesn't that tells you something? Those lights are freaking gas flaring! Well i see you are happy despite your environment is getting polluted because it puts some lights on NASA map . Make sense!

The person that raised the issue of gas flaring as the reason for the illumination of S.south, S.east & offshore is only being smart by half! Have you seen a deep offshore oil platform before? It is not necessarily gas flaring, Bonga deep sea oil platform is like kaleidoscope of complex lights of varied colours! The same applies for oil terminals & plants like LNG in Bonny island. Now do you also ascribe the illumination of Onitsha/Asaba region & Lagos areas to gas flaring?? My brother, this has everything to do with economic activity & production more than anything else!!!

Paulpaulpaul:
South-west really value electricity than others.

Are you sure you know Nigeria's geography very well? From the map, the only illuminated area in the S.west is the Lagos region. In fact, offshore, S.south & S.east are more illuminated than S.west! S.west starts after the boundary of Edo state, you then get Ondo but S.east areas of Aba & Onitsha/Asaba region are more illuminated than S.west bar Lagos!

This is nothing but tactical manoeuvre!!!

Bomb the mofos to smithereens!! Lie Mohammed will not be happy about this development, they are fast loosing grip on propaganda materials & since the rise of Fayose, the chief destroyer of APC propaganda machinery, APC is fast loosing ground both online & offline. The postponement of the election will go down in history as the greatest coup'd'grace by a "clueless" president in the history of Nigeria. Talk about he that laughs last.......

wakacome:
Is Goodluck jonathan doing us a favour?is that not his responsibility as a president?did you know how many years it took PDP to work on those roads??PDP have failed nigerians!!!!simple!!!!!

You see your life?? You asked Is Goodluck doing us a favour by performing?? The answer is YES!! OBJ your brother, was there for 8 whole years & he never deemed it fit to repair the road ditto Yaradua we cried & complained yet we were ignored & we didn't impeach or sue them to court for not doing their job! Now you are trying to be smart by blaming PDP, again the question is, what is the difference between PDP & APC?? Do any of them have character or believe in ideology?? Are majority of those who contributed to the rot in the Nigerian system not in APC today?? Why haven't you taken Fashola or Amaechi to court for failing to execute the light rail project for Lagos & Rivers states respectively?? Do you people in APC have conscience at all?? Posterity will judge us all.

charix:
Nice to see the army is trying to garner PR support however they should let the innocent lady-boy go. This is a waste of time and tax-payer money.

Also, surprised at the amount of Nigerians vying for the blood of an unknown. The reason he's not getting tortured is because he was a random passerby. Knowing the military they'd've had him hanging by his joints in a dungeon as at the time of this picture.

This dude is a member of boko haram!!!!

zicoraads:
WTF! What the Flying Fvck is this? Are they planning for a party? Strip the Motherfvcker and deal with him much!

On a second thought...this is just a formality. Something to cheer amnesty international and our US partners up. Them go panel beat I'm life once the camera stops rolling

Smart dude, you got the drift, this is nothing but dress rehearsal P.R for public consumption, especially the double standards USA & Amnesty international that always scream human rights abuses as if "boko are rams" are human beings. I tell you, those soldiers you see there are boiling with rage inside & once the video session is over, that animal will beg to be shot.

This article is nothing but hogwash, an attempt by Buhari/APC/Lie Mohammed & their foot soldiers to exonerate the apparent culpability of Buhari. This, more than anything else has shown that Buhari & APC's hands are not clean! Just read the article again, this time more slowly & see the rubbish they wrote, do they think that we Nigerians are fools? Just imagine were the phoolish writer said that GEJ promised to make Dasuki, the sultan of Sokoto!!! Does GEJ, a Christian & the same person they have called clueless on countless number of times have such powers Why couldn't he influence the coronation of Sanusi his enemy from being the Emir of Kano since he has the power to determine who becomes Emir or sultan??Buhari & APC will not escape the wrath of Nemesis & karma for blood of the innocent ones they perished because of politics.

Most of the corrupt & criminal minded Nigerians are now in APC yet they keep talking about change!! What change if I may ask, is it from status quo to worst? We don't need this change!!!

Bolade005:
I'm sure nobody has asked you to vote for change, you and members of your family can vote for anybody, it is your responsibility to vote and your right to vote for any candidate but please when finally we the rational, non-sentimental people of the society now do the needful by voting for GMB / PYO and the economic situation of Nigeria changes for the better, then you and your family should take a bow and leave this country for us, your destination, we don't care.

You should know this, you and your family are enemy of progress and I can assure you that future generations of your family will chastise you if you don't begin to reason rationally.

You are the one that should reason rationally, not the person you quoted. GEJ has succeeded in so many areas as president, Agriculture, Roads, Education, Railways, Airports, Economy etc & that is probably why he, just like me will still vote him again. What has an old man fast approaching senility got to offer? Be honest with yourself & vote for the good of Nigeria.

fkaz:
Who is senator Adeseye Ogunlewe?

Former minister of Works, I bet you are Yoruba so you ought to know your leaders.

Bad Newspaper, bad editor.

Hahaha, lol, I laugh in Fulfulde. Meen whilst GEJ is coolly commissioning projects left, right & centre Buhari has been thrown into a labyrinth of lies & scandals. Well I'm not surprised since Tinubu is his henchman, scams & scandals can't be far from him!

Now this is getting more ridiculous by the minute. What is it with these people, must they always involve themselves in scam or is that the change they are talking about, if that is the change then we don't need it period.

You can bribe the press.

You can bribe royalty.

Heck,You can bribe the military.

You may even be able to bribe the clergy (God forbid).

But you can't bribe the economy.

The stability of our Naira is a reflection of our economy is being run.

Now, go figure.

The Naira viz-a-viz its stability is a function of international trade balances I.e the value/worth of exports against that of imports. Now, the price of crude crashed from 100+ dollars per barrel to about 50 dollars per barrel. As if that is not enough, the USA stopped buying our bonny light. What this means is that we have lost a huge percentage of our purchasing power while wants remain constant! During the time of IBB, there was a glut in crude oil prices which resulted in the infamous austerity measures back then but due to better management today, the effect of it has been minimized. Google about the Russian Rouble & its crash since the price fall, only then will you appreciate the situation of things here in Nigeria.

989900:
GEJ playing the bigger man in this diegesis.

But seriously, this administration has practically ruined the Naira.

This is not the first time oil prices would fall now, nor does it affect some other poorer oil producing states as much as it does us.

google is your friend bro. No oil mono product economy is immune to the price fall crisis & pressure on currency. If anything, Nigeria is faring better in managing it than many others. Local commodity prices has remained stable & inflation has not soared.

rusher14:
NEXT!!!!

Typical of APC, when presented with superior facts & logic they flee

bushdoc9919:
Actually, it is the low oil prices, low power supply and the poor security that is scaring investors.

IMO....if PDP wins....TERM 2...should be about investment in electricity, railways and education. The rest can take care of themselves.

Very true, but GEJ is already taking care of them & I believe he will do more in his second tenure.
