Bros, make una carry una yeye threat go one side. I am a full blood Nigerian Citizen, I have the inalienable right of expression. If you want to bring in threat, I don't give a fvck!!!

Unfortunately, that right will be taken away if Buhari wins, he did it before in 1984 and he will do it again.
If you want to be jailed for saying your mind, support Buhari

Rawani:
Keep quiet FFK. You have lost this one. INEC has spoken, all that the constitution requires is for the electoral body to be satisfied that the presidential candidate possesses the required qualification, not even necessarily present it to anyone. That said, GMB's statement of result is 100% valid.

As far as the APC is concerned, the certificate matter is dead and buried - Lai Mohammed, 22/1/2015

You are right , but as far as Nigerians are concerned , a certificate forger can't rule over us.

teemanbastos:
Why didnt d PDP also find a better job than tackling certificate instead of Issues?
Yet she has a doctorate degree o..hehehe

Are you saying that using a fake certificate is not serious enough to warrant Nigerians attention ?

It baffles me how people can suspend their logical resources just to follow a semi-literate "general"

I haven't seen any reasonable person who defends their qualifications with mouth instead of documents.

Says he had no developmental strides

Jonathan in Sokoto, warns troublemakers





Second Republic President, Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari, yesterday broke his silence on burning national issues, declaring that former Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, was a failure in office.

The elder statesman said unlike President Goodluck Jonathan, who had achieved a lot in office, there was nothing he can point to that Buhari achieved for the whole period he was Head of State between 1983 and 1985.

Shagari who spoke for the first time on the quality of the leader that Nigerians need 32 years after his administration was overthrown by Gen. Buhari, declared that the APC standard bearer had no developmental strides during his regime.

He said: “Now I may ask Nigerians, what are Buhari’s developmental strides as Nigeria’s head of state for the period in question?” Your answer is as good as mine, NONE for his whole time in office. Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.”

Shagari said that unlike the leaders before President Jonathan, he can mention three to four areas where the incumbent president had fared better.

In a rare interview with African Independent Television, AIT reporter in Sokoto, yesterday, the elder statesman said after several years, the trains are back on track, noting that even his 27-year-old grandchild boarded one for the first time in his life in 2014.

Shagari also said that President Jonathan’s administration was the first to construct 125 modern Almajiri Schools and 12 universities in a short period of time.

According to Shagari, President Jonathan also scored first in the agricultural sector, where his administration has become the first Nigerian government to eradicate the high level corruption in the distribution of fertilisers and ghost workers in the civil service.

He said Jonathan may not be the best, “but I can mention

three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.”

The full text of the interview reads:

Shagari: “Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.

“Under Jonathan’s administration, the trains are back in Nigeria after about 30 years of neglect. In fact, my 27 years old grandchild boarded train for the first time in his life in 2014.

“His (Jonathan) administration is the first government to construct over 125 modern Almajiri Schools and 12 universities in a short frame of time.

“He is also the first Nigerian leader to construct cargo airports and ensure all zones in Nigeria have an international airport.

“And the very first government to start diversifying Nigerian economy back to agriculture after Nigeria lost its agricultural glory in the 70s.

“Now, I may ask Nigerians, what are Buhari’s developmental strides as Nigerian Head of State?” Your answer is as good as mine, NONE for his whole time in office. Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention three to four breakthroughs in Nigeria that occurred under his five years in office.

Interestingly, Shagari’s rating of the two presidential candidates coincided with President Jonathan and his Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s campaign to Sokoto.

Addressing the mammoth crowd that gathered at the rally, President Jonathan warned politicians who are planning to cause trouble during the forthcoming elections not to test the might of the Federal Government.

He said instead of threatening to throw the country into chaos if they lose the polls, they should join hands with him to ensure a peaceful conduct of the elections in the interest of the country.

President Jonathan said: “I want to use this opportunity to plead with my fellow politicians, especially the younger ones, that we must not fight ourselves. As I came in, the Sultan of Sokoto told me about some aggressions between some rival political parties even in Sokoto State, where you will put billboards and people will go and damage it; you put posters and people will destroy it. It is not a good omen; this is what led to the collapse of other republics. Politicians must work together to make sure that we develop our young people, the future belongs to the young people.”

President Jonathan urged politicians to emulate what transpired during his recent campaign visit to Ogun State.

According to him, he stayed at the Governor’s Court even though Governor Ibikunle Amosun is from the opposition APC.

He said: “Ogun State is an APC state; I spent time with the governor in the Presidential Lodge discussing state issues. That is how politics should be played. He is a governor from the APC but I stayed in his lodge, he did not poison me; he did not kill me. So why should people be encouraged to kill one another? That is too primitive and our politicians who are doing that must stop it.”

Jonathan maintained that the country already has problem of terrorism in three northern states and cannot afford the creation of another band of terrorists in the name of politics.

Just as the fight against evil is an existential fight , anti-corruption strategies goes on forever. No one except the myopic can declare victory.

Unfortunately, the military failed to achieve all those things you listed. The closest they could do is mobilize Nigerians against one another in the civil war.

It is quite appalling that Buhari supporters think that he can just wave a magic wand and jail corrupt people. It shows the lack of basic understanding of how democracy works. Buhari cannot arrogate the duty of the judiciary and the legislature even if he tries to. In 1984, when he supposedly wield a decree power, he "fought" corruption and failed. Even with his"fight" against corruption , he achieved nothing during his regime , not even the building of a single school.

Individuals with myopic views such as Buhari lack the basic knowledge to successfully rule a city ,let alone a country.

After killing 42 innocent Nigerian soldiers , he attempted to cover up their deaths by threatening Nigerian journalists, but he couldn't threaten New York Times.

When we keep sying it that ibo can never be President or. Control their Political destiny in Nigeria,people will say the other ethnic groups are marginalising the ibo.

Please OP,what is the significance of this thread?

Do you know that millions of ibo are in danger of genocide from Feb 15th,2015 if Jonathan tries to rig the Elections?

Keep stoking the fires of genocide by creating these Ethnic and religiously inciting threads.Everybody is just waiting for next month.


What a foolish comment!

Yorubas don't want a traitor like you in their midst, you cannot force people's hand to do your wish, better relocate to sambisa forest where your commander in chief is committing genocide , you will be a very useful tool in shecows hand.

Buhari has no cert , he submitted affidavit not "WASC". Someone please tell me when INEC started issuing cert to political candidates.

CNN is all about sensationalism no deep thinking or research at all. Anything that can sell(usaully) is okay with CNN.
Don't be surprised that those two soldiers were actors hired by CNN to perform for them.

You can be forgiven if you don't understand the article since your leader is semi-literate otherwise, you need re-branding yourself.

@OP , how did the money appear back ?

did the woman just "miraculously" found the money or she found out it was an error on her part ?

It is appalling how our "PROFESSIONAL" soldiers are behaving like uncivilized brute.

The truth of the matter is that Buhari has no certificate.
APC are using damage-control strategies.

We all know that he actually submitted affidavit instead of real certs

This freedom of speech is seriously getting into the head of some APC f.uu.c.k face.

Buhari will surely cry again. Quote me after Feb 15

Freedom of speech will always be protected under GEJ because he believes in the rule of law. That is one of the chief reasons he must be re-elected. I can't imagine a semi-literate "general" throwing people in jail for speaking their mind.
