Yoruba people are very sophisticated when it comes to politics , they don't follow like sheep, they make their own independent decisions that will improve their future.

A whistle-blowing website which aims to expose politicians and businessmen who abuse power in Africa has been launched by media and campaign groups.

AfriLeaks will give people a chance to leak sensitive information anonymously.

The site's founders say it is an attempt to boost investigative journalism to expose widespread corruption and human rights abuses.

It will also help circumvent growing surveillance by governments and corporate firms, they say.

Afrileaks, made up of 19 media outlets and activist groups, says it is committed to "speaking truth to power".

'Digital safety'
"You will be able to send us documents and select which of our member organisations should investigate it," it says.

"We've designed a system that helps you to share these materials while protecting your own identity, so that it becomes impossible to identify you as the source of the leak."

US National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden speaks via live video call during the Right Livelihood prize ceremony at the parliament in Stockholm, on December 1, 2014
Edward Snowden has been exiled in Russia since leaking details of US surveillance programmes
Most of the 19 are newspapers and include South Africa's Mail & Guardian, Kenya's Daily Nation and Nigeria's Premium Times.

The Mail & Guardian says AfriLeaks is modelled along the lines of Europe's GlobaLeaks with the aim of making whistle-blowing safer.

"In the post-Snowden world in which we live, with government and corporate surveillance a reality, it has become critically important for journalists and whistle-blowers to take every precaution to ensure their digital safety," the paper reports.

The US wants to put ex-security contractor Edward Snowden on trial for leaking to the media in 2013 details of mass surveillance programmes. He is exiled in Russia.

Correspondents say newspapers in multi-party democracies in Africa have often exposed corruption and human rights abuses.

The challenge AfriLeaks faces is to get whistle-blowers in repressive states like Eritrea and Sudan, where control over the internet is tight, they say.

If you have got incriminating evidence against a public official, help Nigeria, publish it!

All I see is a bunch of blinded nigerians unsuspectingly going to make a mistake voting in a clueless zoologist for a second term. GEJ rules the zoo not nigeria. Vote for change
SAI BUHARI

They are "blinded" because they decide to pitch their tent with progress instead of a bigoted semi-literate enemy number one of the Yoruba people.
Even you in your pure conscience knows the right person(progress) to pitch your tent with, only a blind follower will do otherwise.

GEJ:PROGRESS

Jonathan's works speak for him, only the blind followers of Buhari are trying to divert peoples attention from his achievements.

How can you present what you don't have ?
The spirit of all secondary school students who wake up at night to get a school cert will not let a semi-literate affidavit holder near the center of power.

Sule Lamido don't want to sound too harsh on Buhari because he is kinsman , but his conscience would also not let him keep silent.
Buhari was a coded corrupt public official who pass a clean bill of health on the Abacha regime. He claimed that Abacha stole nothing when everything is glaring to everybody the world over.

That is more of a dictator , not president.

ChinemeOkpan:
Seun you are the true son of your father. I know there is no way you could have ever endorsed Jonathan.

Like you said, it is a shame that Nigerians will vote for anyone and anything as long as it is not Jonathan. Such a damn shame

This election marks a turning point for Nigeria, it will show the political class that they are accountable to the electorate and if they fall short of expectations- Nigerians will kick them out.

In 2019, if Buhari does not perform, we will boot him out.

Power to Nigerians not politicians.

Nigerians don't want to gamble their future with a bigoted , semi-literate "general".

Stop dodging the issue.
Did Buhari cancelled the Lagos Metroline project ?
Did he ransacked the house of late chief Awolowo ?
Did he jailed Adekunle Ajasin to his death even though the courts find him innocent ? The list is endless.

Come Failbuhari 2015, the Yoruba people will reject their number one enemy.

GEJ:PROGRESS

No amount of attire will make the Yoruba people forget their number one enemy. Wolf in sheep clothing.

Rather than Buhari condemning violence on BBC Hausa service, he chose to use twitter when he knows that his Almajiri boys have no access to twitter , another devious act form the semi-literate General.

"Stockholm syndrome" at work , that is when a victim start defending his attacker because of long period of punishment.

Say no to journalist jailing.

When Mbaka called APC a boko haram party when mama piss visited him,these hypocritical reverend fathers didn't say anything. Why are they making noise now?

They should leave Mbaka alone joor!

Keep insulting the man of God as you like because he doesn't share your view.

benebaby77:
Nigerians gave the GEJ their trusts, loyalties, allegiances and pledges but he failed us:

by letting women dictate how he should rule the country with over 170 millions couple with 516 ethnics.

By politicizing everything rather than to tackle them as a head of states and most powerful person in Nigeria.

He let 'the seeking for second term' becloud his sense of ruling and directing the affairs of Nigeria.

He failed to tackle corruption so as so not to upset the chosen few

He made other countries to ridicule us in every ramification and made us to command a little respect before any country. Any country can do whatever she likes to Nigerians just or unjust.....

GEJ tried his best he could do as a president but let give another a chance and see the result.

Give one reason to vote for GEJ and I will tell a thousand reasons not to vote for him....

You can only measure success against a others performamce not absolutely. If you truly consider how GEJ has fared compared to his predecessors you will give him a pass mark.

Where you born when Buhari ruled? The man that truncated your democracy is the same man your god went to take blessings from some days back. Mind you ask your god to put him in jail first?

You are ignorant of history. I am not surprised because your Buhari has no primary school cert , I don't expect you to fare any better.
Let me school you. In 1984, your god Buhari destroyed our nascent democracy and installed himself as head of state.
He put the vice president Alex Ekwueme in prison while he exonerates Sheu Shagari of corruption.

SweetJoystick:
I would rather have my daughter raped, after all, it's only rape and her life would be safe than have her kidnapped or bombed by some individuals, thanks to someone who will promise security of her life only to abscond and not provided the needed security, even after discovering her kidnap he still would refused to look after her, if she ends up being killed, he would only promise and fail

SMH. I hope you don't have a daughter.
Nigeria should start issuing licence for parenthood because of people like you.

Some angry youth on Saturday attacked and set ablaze a campaign bus branded with President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign posters at Zololo junction, Bauchi road in Jos, Jos North Local Government area of Plateau state. The bus was on fire at the time of filling this report. However, witnesses said the driver of the bus escaped unhurt.

Youth Burn PDP Bus
It is not clear what led to the attack. Police could not be immediately reached for comments.

A witness, whose car was also torched by the rampaging mob, said another PDP-branded car was also set alight.

The source, who only identified herself as Mrs. Rose, told PREMIUM TIMES that her Honda car was also smashed by the protesting youth.

She said the road leading to the area was blocked by the rampaging youth, as they bashed other vehicles plying the route.

According to her, the incident occurred in the presence of members of the Special Taskforce on Jos crisis STF, who could not help stop the action of the youth.

The incident has generated tension within the state capital Plateau state capital as residents rushed home for safety.

The attack occurred as PDP supporters in the state converged at the Hiapang Airport to receive the gubernatorial candidate of the party, Gyang Pwajok, who was returning from Lagos after receiving his flag last Thursday.

Buhari's APC and violence are inseparable.

Buhari is sending a clear message that Nigeria will burn if he is not elected.

Buhari's threat won't change our mind, in fact it has made us more resolute in vouching for progress.

tola9ja:
MY PRESIDENT IS NOT A RELIGIOUS BEGOT HE WILL ACCEPT IT

Suddenly , the man who promise total sharia across Nigeria is no longer a bigot, wake up please.

Even Rochas agrees that Buhari want to islamize Nigeria, but he believes he can't do it under a democracy setting.
Someone should please tell Rochas that democracy is the easiest form of government to hijack.

danaiks:
Did you know that in 1983, Chief Obafemi Awolowo contested at the age of 74 while Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe contested in 1979 at 75? Did you know that Ronald Reagan became US president at the age of 70 and served two terms of four years each? Just last December, Tunisia sworn in Beji Caid Essebsi as their President. Did you know how old is he? President Essebsi is 88 years old. The election that brought him in as president was the first free and fair presidential election since the country (Tunisia ) gained independence in 1956. If a 72 years old grand “Pa” (as the haters called him) can give me constant electricity, guarantee maximum security (stop the killings up North), put food on my table and stop corruption that a 57 years old young man who is suffering from an inferiority complex can not give then I will be a very big fool to refuse such CHANGE. So those making noise about BUHARI’s age should shut the hell up and give in for a great change.

SMH . People just lost their lives and all you can do is campaign for a Boko Haram sympathizer.

To all insulting the man. Take a look from this angle

His daughter was raped. Under Islamic parlance, she might possibly not get married cos of that lingering issue on her. Since the rapist decided he would marry her, the father was happy that the shame would soon be over and therefore agrees provided there isn't any use of pregnancy in a month.

Note: the rapist in the afterworld would have his punishment cos of direct contravention to the forbidden act he committed (Haram)


#ProudlyChristianThough

@ the bolded : there is no evidence for it.

You don't need to state your religion to make your indefensible point.

A grave crime was committed against an innocent 13 year old and the thoughtless father deemed it fit to marry the victim to one of her attacker.
Is marriage more important than a lifetime of happiness ?

There is no justification for the double crime committed against this innocent child by the so called father and the rapist.
And this is one of the case where Nigerian police and human rights activists should wade in.

While some village champion blind followers of APC are going around to claim Buhari will throw people in jail ; what they have not told us(because of ignorance ) is how he will do that. Will he scrap the judiciary and national assembly and start dishing out jail terms from Aso rock ?

freshness2020:
Shut the bleep up...the lower the number drops the higher the country goes away from corruption!
Don't say nonsense or English hard for ♈όϋ to comprehend?

You shouldn't be surprised, if Buhari his god doesn't understand simple economics(oil market), his slaves can't fair any better.
If you think education is expensive , try ignorance.

They never refuted it. They only said the endorsement is inconsequential. Is there no difference between IYC and MEND?! Guy, stop consoling yourself, your boss is on his way to his networkless village.

@IYC, I guess it would have been consequential if they had endorsed Jonathan! Hypocrisy.

Are you not ashamed that an international terrorist group MEND which bomb Nigerians on 2010 independence day is endorsing your god Buhari.
Well , it is said that evil will always endorse evil.

Next Boko haram endorses Buhari calls for change(Sharia)

Fraud and Buhari are synonymous, Buhari forged affidavit while APC infaltes their members.

Ride on GEJ, the only president that believes in and conducts free and fair elections.

Supporting Buhari is worse than gamble, the consequences can't be imagined.

Follow your true conscience

A socio-cultural group, Egbe Omo Ibile, on Monday said the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), could not be trusted with power because he “unfairly dealt with many Yoruba leaders during his tenure as Head of State.”

In a statement on Monday by the group’s Publicity Secretary, Shehu Alatishe, the group alleged that the Buhari administration was fraught with human rights abuses.

The group said it was too late for the APC candidate to pretend to love the Yoruba which “he tried so much to muscle in the past because he now wants their favour to become Nigeria president.”

“While in office as Nigeria’s Head of State, Buhari deliberately subjected some Yoruba leaders to serious agony,” the group said.

The statement read, “We bring to question the basis for the maltreatment of Governor of the old Ondo State, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, who never recovered from the experience following his incarceration by the Buhari government despite getting a clean bill from the courts.
