Are you more interested on Buhari's certificate or how to improve Nigerias economy, wipe out corruption, stop Book Haram, bring back Chibok girls

What is this one saying please!!! How do you improve the economy & fight corruption when you are not qualified to be in that office & above all lacks integrity, wont that be the height of hypocrisy

Nigeria would be worse off if per-adventure Buhari wins the 2015 election. APC as a party is nothing but a group of arrogant & hypocritical people. Their body language & disposition shows that they plan to rule Nigeria not as a true democracy but more like an authoritarian state, were opinions against them shall not be tolerated. GEJ may not be the best but his humility, open mindedness & believe in the rule of law is what Nigeria needs to really forge ahead as a democracy. APC is saying that we should ignore something as important as the basic pre-requisite to attain the highest office in Nigeria yet they claim to have integrity & plans to fight corruption. A vote for Buhari is a vote for mediocrity, quota system induced backwardness, corruption, hypocrisy, Archaic/analogue, oppression. Change is a two edged sword, it could be for better or for worse & the change mantra being trumpeted by the APC is a change for the worst! Nigerians, irrespective of creed or tribe should be wise & resist these evil change!

God punish the devil. These APC goons almost succeeded in selling a dummy to the Nigerian masses. Lies & propaganda flying here & there in the guise of fact. These evil people knows that Nigerians are not good students of history so they now try to shout it into our heads of phantom & imaginary projects their "messiah" did while in office as military dictator. The same man that lost serially against OBJ, Yaradua & GEJ has suddenly turned into a messiah without whom Nigeria would perish! Despite all these, they are using blackmail & intimidation against the president, imagine, these nemesis of Nigeria had the effrontery to send almajiris to ambush GEJ in katsina state, a sitting president! Indeed GEJ must be the most gentle president in the whole world!

This archival report is classic, I wonder how these APC people managed to brain-wash so many Nigerians, including the so called educated ones? The truth is that GEJ is trying to make Nigeria a better place but there is this evil alliance and demonic conspiracy against him by forces that are only interested in their selfish & avaricious gains, they use blackmail, intimidation, subterfuge, chaos & anarchy to advance their evil plans. God will see GEJ through & the violence these enemies of Nigeria are nurturing will consume them & their immediate families.

The writer is damn right, infact, I'm shocked that GEJ would allow such blatant disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands in his strong-hold. INEC obviously has a sinister objective, yesterday, I went to Inec Imo state head-office along port-Harcourt road to collect my PVC only to be told that it is not available, there were many of us including those that came from far distance areas. We were not even allowed to go inside by the security men at the gate. Now the same INEC would go to the media and make it sound as if the southerners are not willing to collect their PVC when in actual sense they have technically denied us.

MayorofLagos:
This is why Igbo is pokitically in disadvantage. The only vote that count as Igbo is that in SE, regardless of party you vote for. Of all the regions you have the least headcount and least registered voters.

So where is your advantage....where is your appeal? None!

The Igbo appeal lies in the fact that they are one of the most populous in the country. They may have 5 states as you said but Lagos is about 40% made up of Igbos, El Rufai as the minister of FCT made the assertion willy-nilly that Abuja is de facto sixth Igbo state based on their numerical strength. For you to win the presidential election, you must garner at least 25% in two thirds of the states across the federation, the Igbos can easily influence this & they actually did it for GEJ in 2011. Buhari actually played into the hands of GEJ when he refused to campaign in the SE based on this your short-sighted hubris that SE is not relevant. The SE may be five states but Igbos constitute appreciable numbers in many more states than the SE/SS. If Buhari is sensible enough, he ought to know that Igbo votes holds the ace for GEJ & there is a growing apathy in the region against GEJ due to the failed promises of GEJ like the second Niger bridge, Enugu-P.H exp, Onitsha seaport etc & the fact that GEJ has done far more projects in the Northern states than his acclaimed piller of support, the SE.

manutdadex:
Nigerians!! So u expect his sista to arrange gold for neck and make she don do facial sugeries abi? Shows all of us are corupt to d bone!

Yeah, that's Nigerians for you, the most hypocritical set of human beings ever created by God. If she had died in a German or American hospital, they all would have cried "blue mother" but lo and behold, she died in a private hospital somewhere in the backwaters of Yenagoa yet they are spewing gibberish. Nigerians are the ones who are clueless, not the president. Rip to the dead and may God grant solace to the bereaved.

ShySteady:
The biggest mistake ever in the history of the Fulanis is to make attempts at what they did in Plateau and environs with the Ibos...
Firstly, the Ibos are not known for beating the drums of war without provocations. Once they do, it becomes very difficult for them not to go into "war".
Secondly, the Fulanis should know better and take a cue from past attacks on Ibos in the far North by the Hausas and the subsequent reaction on their brothers in the East.
Thirdly, when it comes to violence against the Ibos, the East is always united against intruders because it takes the blood of an Ibo to wake up the other Ibos to "duty".
Tis better for the Fulanis to pack their cows and leave now before they all get missing.

I pity these foolanis, first, SE is not like north with barren expanse of land hidden by hills and valleys were they can do there cowardly hit and run nocturnal attacks and escape. second, Igbos are a proud set of people, that would see at as an eternal shame if the foolanis should come all the way from the north and attack them in their homeland and still go scot-free. Third, the reprisal attacks of 2001 should rather serve as a lesson to these perennial and primitive fools, I was in Aba then and what I saw was a gory and chilling atmosphere that would make savages look like gentlemen. Carcasses of barbecued Hausa/Fulani men littered every major junction in Aba, Opobo/ehere junction, all along Ikot-Ekpene road up to NTA gate, Ukaegbu Junction, East, water side etc all in Ogbor-hill area were I resided then were all piled up with burnt and acrid smelling cadavers. It was so bad that I became sick and vowed never to eat suya again. Anybody here who was in Aba then would concur with me. They should thread carefully!

WTF is this? Iswearigad these APC people are good when it comes to comic relief. Laugh wan kill me die, the title said Lagos based artists step out for Buhari and I was expecting to see real A list stars in the likes of Don jassy, Tiwa Savage, P.Square, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotala Ekeinde, Banky W, Flavour, Davido, Wizkid, Phyno, Olamide, Timaya, etc and not these bunch of unknown people Hahahahaha i don die

adewasco2k:
I don't get it!

You don't get what? He is telling you that if GEJ hasn't resurrected the Nigerian railway system, would you be comparing Nigeria with India that have always maintained there railway system since the colonial period. If you still don't get it, then you go and learn comprehension.

LRNZH:
Reason am bro.

By February, 2015 I have to vote.

I need an alternative to GEJ because he has failed woefully by my average standards. 5 years and we are talking about awarding projects contracts and startup of constructions. When the three big elephants in the rooms are not functional: Security, Power and Refineries.

What viable option do I have? Mind you I have supported GEJ in the past.

And that change is Buhari? let me inform you that change is a two edged sword, you either change for the better or change for the worse! If buhari is the change you are trumpeting, then we need to allow the status quo ante. Nigeria does not need Buhari at this point in time.

Nigerians and their wicked insincerity! This jobless op trying to compare oranges with apples should go get a life! Irrespective of political cum social, religious or whatever inclination or bias, if we as Nigerians truly want our country to progress, then we should give credit when we ought to and condemn when something is wrong, that is how it is done in civilized climes. Now what was the state of Nigerian railway system prior to the regime of GEJ, was it even in existence? Now you have the temerity to compare with countries that have a culture and system of perennially running railway system with added advantage of improvement to the existing infrastructure to Nigeria that is more or less starting from the scratch! You dare to compare railway system of Nigeria with that of the developed world, since when did we start to rub shoulders with the first world? Do you think we would wake up one-day and start competing with the wave of a magic wand? My fellow countrymen and women, it is a gradual process with determined effort. That is how South korea, UAE, Brazil etc achieved success. Even if we buy electric supersonic trains, do we have the infrastructure to utilize it or is with the 4000 megawatts that we currently produce? The fact is that while Nigeria was busy changing military regimes and electing mediocre presidents, the rest of the world left us behind, and with the advent of cheap and accessible internet, a majority of us discovered to our shame and consternation, how much we have been left behind. Those trumping up Buhari as the messiah that would clean the Augean stable is either not discerning enough to know that Buhari is already on the part to senility, is not versatile and does not have what it takes to steer the ship of an emerging and complex nation like ours, or are driving by an overriding tribal sentiment. Secondly, how are we sure that Tinubu is not hoping on the Yaradua treatment, what if Buhari dies on assumption of office, since he is already old, would Osinbajo take over? would the north accept that? would the unity of Nigeria not threatened again or would Osinbajo be asked to step aside when he knows he has the constitutional right to takeover? We should all ponder over these and more when we blindly follow politicians that obviously have selfish agendas.

APC "internet warriors" are really ridiculous, even to the point of being pathetically frustrated. What is wrong with the first lady visiting a state and identifying with her root? This idea of condemning, disparaging, victimizing and ridiculing every act of the first family cant win votes for your new found "messiah" rather it is nothing but cheap blackmail. Mr liar Mohammed and his co-conspirators must have sent you people to converge on nairaland like vultures and attack every action of the first family just to make them appear bad in the eyes of people, but you people forget that the percentage of Nigerians on nairaland are a microcosm, less than 0.00001% of the entire population. Majority of Nigerians are wise enough not to fall for such gimmick, the more you people senselessly abuse the president and his family, the more he will get sympathy votes from emotional Nigerians that hate oppression! You people will loose so gallantly in the general election, that self induced exile or worse still suicide may be your only option after passionately dissipating energy on such a wrong cause. May God keep us all alive to witness st valentines day next year, it promises to be very interesting.

berem:
The list isn't complete without Owerri.

I very much agree with you, only a few cities in Nigeria compares with the cool and beautiful ambiance of Owerri. The serenity and aesthetics is really exotic.

These APC goons are nothing but a bunch of pathetic losers and just like a drowning man, they are grasping at straws in their desperation to keep afloat. The more they hate on the president, making mountains out of mole-hills and trying to blackmail the president with all manner of accusations, the more president Jonathan soars like an eagle because he who God has blessed let no man curse.

Go on Mr president, those that are with you are more than those against you. The more they conspire against you in an evil alliance, the more, the masses support you.

Every Tom, Dick and Harry now opens their gutter mouth to hurl invectives against you, even when they are making no sense!
they are presenting Buhari like he is the modern day messiah, the same Buhari that contested against Obasanjo serially and failed in all occasions! Who is fooling who in this country. Enough of all these distractions already. All the evils they are accusing president Jonathan of, has been there since time immemorial but they make it look like it all began under his leadership. Corruption has permeated every strata of the society from the base to the top. Insecurity/Boko haram in the north has been ongoing far before his tenure began, even as he is battling it, these same evil people are sabotaging his efforts in all fronts.

Are the northerners and their south west collaborators trying to tell us that a south-south man is not good enough to rule Nigeria? Are they trying to intimidate others into believing that Nigeria can be peaceful only when someone from a particular section of the country is occupying the seat of power?

These so called progressives will support whoever they wish to support without attaching any primordial motive to it but the moment you support a rival party or person, they call you a tribalist/sectional or supporting corruption, even when the god father of their political party is a baggage of fraud.

Tufiakwa!!

Why do we like pettiness in Nigeria? Why do we consider anything white to be superior? who the hell is CNN to be dishing out economic indicators? Are they World bank, IMF or what. What criteria, parameters or indices did they use in collating their data? This is nothing but absolute hogwash that stemmed out of their imagination. BBC, CCTV, Aljeezera, Press tv, Channels, TVC or even AIT name them, could as well bring out their own respective opinion about Africa! What is prosperous about Burkina Faso, Ghana, Rwanda or senegal? When countries like Mauritius, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Egypt etc are not mentioned. What or how do they define prosperity in the light of this,please. Prosperous in terms of GDP, GNP, Literacy levels, economic advancement, Health development, general well being of populace or what, how did those countries listed fair better than the others not listed, did they visit all the countries to collect their data or was it done online? The problem with Nigerians is that we politicize everything even when it lacks merit, just to make cheap political gains. To me, this report is trash and is fit for the dustbin!

cramjones:
In our meeting, all the governors wanted Amaechi as vice. We had settled for him when we left. However, Tinubu wanted to be the VP, but most people were opposed to it, at the end we decided to pick Prof, since Tinubu insisted on a South West candidate. We hope that Amaechi's role as campaign DG will win us at least 25% of votes from the SE and SS. Meanwhile, those that have to play their cards better in the Nigerian political space are the Igbos.

The Yoruba's have gotten more out of Nigeria that our SE brothers ! They play smart politics , choose when to ally with the center and when to oppose it smartly NOT based of prejudice and bigotry! This way , they gain while some other folks hold on to a frankly delusional dislike for another group and consistently outdo themselves! If you want to sink with GEJ an incompetent man because you want to use him to "deny" the North power, by all means do so, but remember that you also push power further away from yourself because YOU NEED ALLIANCES (even if it is with your perceived enemies) to ever get to power! When I look West or North, I don't see the SE forming any alliances , hence I can confidently conclude that they have miscalculated again! Would you guys go and hang yourselves in 2019 when PDP rotates power to the North and your much hated Hausa-fulani muslim northerner becomes president ? Would you then run to the SW and say let's oppose them? Tinubu is a brilliant politician , he probably distrusts the North more than you do, but he understand that ALLIANCES rather than bigotry is the route to power in a country with major ethnic groups and power blocks! Give or take power will certainly reach the SW AGAIN before the SE , bc APC or PDP understands that they need this block! Okorocha understands this, and I am sure many pragmatic Igbos felt proud of him when he mounted the podium at the APC convention to add an Igbo voice to what has become A NATIONAL CRY FOR CHANGE! you cannot as a result of unfounded bigotry hold the whole nation back! It is not a good reason to do so! Reminds me of the biblical "fake mother " who asked Solomon that the baby which was not hers be divided! ! This is what you guys did in 2011 and are doing now ! You will sacrifice Nigeria on the platter of bigotry and hatred if even it destroys you? How can you hate another , more than you love yourself ? I say rethink your motivations, I would respect whoever you choose to support as long as it is bc of his competence or lack of it , but to hate a pleural entity "Hausa-fulani muslim north? Is silly and won't get you anywhere!

-CramJones

You are simply delusional. First and foremost, the same bigotry you accused the Igbos of, is being displayed by Tinubu and indeed majority of Yorubas by the insistence that Tinubu or any other Yoruba man must be the V.P, even when there are more sell-able candidates like Oshiomole, Rochas and Amaechi in the party.

Amaechi, being a proud and very ambitious man, must be very bitter now, full of regrets and ruing his losses. As D.G of the campaign organization, the SE and SS are no go areas for him, majority of middle belt will still stick with GEJ rather than Buhari that represents the face of the oppressive feudal north that has been subjugating them since the time of Othman Dan Fodio.

Nigeria did not become corrupt under president GEJ, indeed GEJ regime may be even be the most accountable than the previous ones, the difference is that then, nobody was aware of the humongous corruption going on then, but today, information is being disseminated across to millions in matter of seconds and GEJ is a gentleman devoid of the kind of vengeful vendetta that characterized the OBJ regime.

You rightly mentioned that Yorubas have gotten more from Nigeria than their Igbo counterparts but the reason is simply and squarely a result of being on the loosing side of a very bitter civil war, prior to the civil war, Igbos controlled Nigeria in every sector, be it economy, army, commerce, civil service etc, but as a result of the civil war, the Hausas saw an opportunity to subjugate the Igbos (who they rightly see as their main irritant in perpetually controlling Nigeria) they connived with the Yorubas to emasculate them economically through seizure of bank accounts an d the accompanying privatization of major companies. The same tactics they also applied by victimizing the Igbos against their SS brothers, collectively, Igbos were seen as public enemy number one! Today, the lies are gradually unraveling, the SS are beginning to realize their folly and the Middle belt now knows that their real enemies are northwards.

The Yorubas may appear smart on the face of events, but in reality are they so? The same haughty disposition being displayed by Tinubu today was what led to Abiolas destruction. In dining with the devil, one must use a long spoon and be wary. Lets assume that Buhari wins today, what do you think will be the faith of Tinubu? Buhari and his inner caucus are patiently selling a dummy to Tinubu and the Yorubas aligning with him that they are subservient to him just to grab power, I bet you, the moment Buhari and his kitchen cabinet steps into aso rock, they will not stand the presence of Tinubu!

Finally, I do not see Buhari wining the election, he did the same mistake he made last time by choosing a rookie, in a game infested by professionals. Fashola(even with the Muslim-muslim baggage) Oshiomole, Amaechi or Rochas would have giving PDP a run for their money. Its not as if they are not aware, but the ego of Tinubu will not allow it.

Chomzy222:
true talk mbaise can never rule us Rochas we knw

Another fool on the loose

Abagworo:
Only one song will kill Ihedioha. A green snake from Mbaise cannot rule us. PDP is dead in Rivers and Imo.

The contest will shift to APC vs APGA.

I'm utterly disappointed in you! I thought you are learned but just look at the kind of racist & bigoted statement you made there, typical of touts & illiterates. The Mbaise people you are trying to cast in opprobrium are among the most educated & enlightened people in Igboland & indeed Nigeria. If you have anything against Ihedioha, why not take it out on him rather than making such primitive & senseless statement against millions of innocent people that did you no wrong.

oneeast:
I don't think Orji is all bad. What will you say about Okorosha who has borrowed over 200billion but still yet you cannot find anything on ground. All their roads are deathtraps including state and federal.

Your type is the problem with Nigeria, So in all sincerity you believe that Rochas is not performing? My brother, I'm currently in Owerri, the Imo state capital & I stand to be corrected by saying that Rochas is among the few governors in Nigeria today that has performed creditably well. Comparing Rochas with Orji is the height of insincerity, its tantamount to comparing day & night! Theif T.A Orji is not only diabolic, myopic, visionless & clueless, he is also a very wicked man lacking in conscience, I visit Aba every now & then because my father has investments there but on each occasion, I feel like weeping for the state. The whole city of Aba, one of the largest in Nigeria, has no single functioning street light in this 21st century! This town despite having one of the best plan when viewed through google earth maps is filled with decrepit & very bad roads, both state & federal. This I.d.i.o.t.i.c fool has no single legacy after ruling for eight good years! I believe karma will not forget him.

TCD:
igbo people in Abia are actually the most useless set of people in nigeria if they vote this man in 2015.

Hey you, did you think you made sense with that sentence you wrote there? FYI, it was the PDP primaries that was conducted were the renowned theif emerged as the consensus candidate prior to the primaries. The blame should go to PDP viz-a-viz the Nigerian system were meritocracy is sacrificed on the alter of expediency. Except you are not in Nigeria, then you should know that the masses do not vote during primaries, rather reserve your insults till either thief T.A Orji or his gubernatorial stooge called Okezie Ikpeazu wins in the election proper, when other parties are putting forward credible candidates like Alex Otti or Uchechukwu Ogah, though I'm afraid that this could still happen but until then.

Who else thinks this guy is stupid? So you haven't seen police officers on horses? Even when people are telling you it's a conventional practice, you still amaze us with your foolishness.

You are not alone in thinking that is foolish & unreasonable, I was so annoyed & pissed off with his abysmally low IQ, I would have been happy if he only observed without typing that sh!!t he wrote there.

Silensa:
please explain well what you mean by exicting night in owerri cos i haven't seen anything like that here. No street light for you to see at night, no good road for a smooth night ride, so what so exicting about here. I wish people will stop beliving some of the junks media house report and come down here for a firsthand information.

Are you for real dude? This is the Zenith of dishonesty! You're a freaking liar my friend! Only a few places in Nigeria has the kind of night-life you find in Owerri. The whole of new Owerri never sleeps! I was in Lagos before I relocated to Owerri & I tell you it compares with Ikeja, Surulere & V.I in terms of night life. Again you mentioned no street light, like seriously? Wetheral, Aba road, Aba road by-pass, Bank road/Orlu road, Douglas road, most parts of new Owerri etc are all well illuminated with street lights at night while some rely on public power supply, others, especially the new ones installed by Rochas uses solar. Finally you said the roads are bad, I stand to be corrected by telling you that almost all the municipal roads in Owerri are motorable, meeen we are still in Nigeria dude, even Abuja still has pockets of bad roads here and there. Pls stop spreading lies & be honest for once. Smh.

This is good & is marvelous in our eyes! Any time I pass through Onitsha, all I see is unearthed potential but all thanks to Obiano for transforming the hitherto den of robbers called upper Iweka to this beautiful spectacle. What Onitsha is to Anambra, is what Aba is to Abia, yet Thief T.A Orji criminally left it in ruins! This singular achievement will give a positive image of Anambra to citizens & travellers passing through Onitsha. I pray that the people of Abia will vote in a technocrat like Alex Otti, people who are exposed, intelligent & knows what it takes to govern a state & not a curse like Theif T.A orji.

This wicked, clueless, archaic, analog, vengeful, visionless & senseless man who cut his nose so he could spite his face has come again. Karma, obscurity & abyss of oblivion is waiting for him, the moment he leaves government house. In my opinion, this man is the most foolish political figure in the history of Nigeria, he had the opportunity to forever etch his name in gold & join the hall of fame with great men like Sam Mbakwe, Micheal Okpara, Jakande, Fashola, Chime, Akpabio, etc but he choose the lonely part of Obscurity & come next year, he will join the likes of Chinwoke Mbadinuju, James Ibori & Alamiesiya as persona non grata. Aba he left in ruins will forever be his nemesis. God forbid that T.A Orji or any of his stooge would ever come close to public office. His senatorial ambition is dead on arrival. Most foolish man ever liveth!

not forcing any opinion on you , I hate to see trash and that was why I mentioned you. I cant see anything better bro , thats the truth . infact it has grown worst , we have seen lawmakers throw punches in th house of assembly , now it has grown to jumping of gates. well to you it may be better , perhaps , its the kind of development you envisage for yourself.

Its either you have a short memory or you are being dishonest, the senate has always been an arms zone since B4 GEJ. There was a time they fought before school children, in which the now "messianic" Dino Melaye turned into a pugilist & threw blows with reckless abandon, many of the "honourable" men were even injured & one from the north even died as a result.
