Leave the guy alone. You are the one with no clue. Standing till the end is why Gbagbo was disgracefully captured in a bunker. Standing till the end is why Gaddafi is killing his own people with reckless abandon. When your course no longer makes sense, it is honourable to face reality and chose an alternative course. You don't have to finish a chosen course especially when you no longer believe in it.

You sounded like a typical Buhari apologist, always seeing no wrong in their folly. The Buhari you worship is also not so intelligent and realistic, wanting everyone to bow at his feet even when they bring much more to the table than him. Some arrogant lots!

Beaf:

I recall justcash tossing GEJ under the bus and hopping on the BB train. We GEJ supporters didn't offer a single word of abuse, instead we tried to persuade him back.
Today, we are choffed that he is back.

What is it with BB people that they are so aggressive and quick to insult? Reminds me of sharia.

Lagosboy:

Please in the name of God dont let us go down relgious intolerance. What has sharia got to do with this. Why do you have to insult the senesitivities of millions of muslims. You have a right to support GEJ but not bashing the religon of another candidate.

As far as i know I have not thrown one insult at knowall and i never insult anyone here on NL. You could prove me wrong if you can.

Beaf:

Its the stoning culture, a grown man tells you his mind is shifting and you pick up stones to throw at him. Thats jihad sir.

Lagosboy:

Please be matured enough to know the fine line between poltical differences and insulting another religion. I will not waste my time schooling you but I want to still believe you have a conscience to tell you , your statements are bigoted and needless.

PapaBrowne:

See them (BB fans) insulting Knowall because he has seen the light!! What kind of intolerance is this This is bad mehn!! We need to learn to be tolerant no matter what views others have!! The same religious vigour that sees terrorists bombing innocent citizens is the same kind of intolerance that is been visited on those that choose to take a stand in line with their conscience. This is not a religion that says if you convert, you should be killed. This is an election please and people should be free to switch sides!!

@Knowall
You are one man I respect!! You views right are and your knowledge is tight!!

Lagosboy:

Can you show me where i have insulted Knowall on this thread

Kobojunkie:

uum . . . Newsflash, Principle of standing till the end is what got people like Obama elected -- it is what got the first muslim senator elected. Stop speaking through your arse of what you have no clue of.

Again, standing to the end if part of being principled  . . . stand on what you believe, NO MATTER WHAT . . .that is what even realists do. You on the other hand are flip-flopping here, and trying to seek ways to legitimize your moves.

efisher:

KnowAll, please ignore the insults from the aggrieved individuals. It hurts them so bad but soon they will understand you better. If you are no longer comfortable with what you can see, it is perfectly ok to withdraw your support. That is the mark of a principled man. It is better to stop and think than to keep going the wrong way. If you are not convinced, you have every right to say so. Why should you work against your own convictions because of what others may say? Do your thing!

If I were in Naija on saturday I would vote Team BB. What has changed is I would not beat the talking drum for them any more, I feel uncomfortable with some of his hangers-ON.

What does Buhari do for a living?- Buhari is a professional election runner. I look forward to seeing him in 2015

This is sarcastic-ism at best, where are you people's sense of humour. Just like the poster of the initial thread asked a rather worrying and inquisitive question  which millions of Nigerians would have pondered over,  how come a man who is honest and never done a day's job since 1999 can manage to stay afloat in one of the best suites in Abuja on a regular basis,  giving the populace the wrong façade and impression about himself, wallowing in self pity insisting albeit not blatantly that he is too poor to build a house in the FCT, yet on the contrary manages to stay frequently in one of the best suite in one of the most expensive hotel rooms in the world the " Nicon Noga Hilton Hotel Abuja"( it is no more news to know Nigerian 5* rooms are one of the most expensive in the world).

This kind of questions are geniue questions that requires answers.

osapay:

A former head of state's Pension is not light change. He says his main busines is cattle rearing. Buhari may have enough to not be poor but nowhere near the IBB's and Obj's of the world. If he has this money you think he has, his campaign wouldnt be nearly media-invincible.


See this attitude right there is what beats me. Contrary to what the PDP doctrine teaches, this election is not do or die. Many PDP supporters know like we do the stakes the PDP stands to lose if GEJ fails. They spend millions daily on ads for Jonathan and smear campaigns for Buhari and Ribadu both on newspapers and websites. 16 pages for GEJ in just one paper yesterday, then the additional ones insulting Buhari. Then the numerous adverts on the TV. This is money speaking. Money The people spitting out see as an investment. An investment which they not only hope to profit from but are willing to go to extremes to not lose. PDP folding their arms and leaving the election to chance is wishful thinking. They campaign this vigorously so just in case the rigging isn't totally successful, hopefully they'll touch the minds of Nigerians with the act and may just garner enough votes.

Most PDP supporters are quite confident there is a backup plan that ensures GEJ wins no matter what.If this election is free and fair in the 36 states of NIgeria, its almost certain its going to be a runoff. Only this morning news came in on how money has been distributed to powers that be in Kaduna to secure the state for PDP. It is not do or die for Buhari. He might feel sad for the first few days but life goes on.  But I shudder to think what will happen if GEJ loses.

[b]Buhari can only answer in a language that comes to him instinctively and that is " Hausa". This tyrant who came to prominence by the nuzzle of a Gun was not properly trained and schooled for diplomacy with regards to high and prestigious office. His primary job was to stand at ease behind a duly elected President and of course a well schooled Nigerian President would have been exposed to the intricacies of such high office during his sojourn for knowledge. Such Individuals would not be irritated  by speaking the Queens Lingo since this language would have been the language he/she used in writing and defending his projects, thesis,  reasons and thoughts.

When you have a situation where Hooligans are in Power, the demeaning attitudes of would be Presidential candidates knows no bounds and it should not surprise anyone, I believe if elected such candidates would result to hiring expert hands when faced with a complex and daunting question to answer on their behalf.  Nigeria at 50 don't need that any more when the country is bursting in her seams with Phd holders driving cabs, we have more than enough learned fellows to fly the flag for Nigeria than the buffoons coming out to run just because they came into prominence because of an illegality. We cannot be presenting people like Idi-Amin as our President in 2011. I feel jealous when I listen to Museveni and Mugabe speak the Queens language with such a natural flare, they too have an indigenous language too, I wonder why can't we present our best candidates for the top Job rather than move forward we seem contended at turning the clock back.

If it were not for Buhari's Junta misadventures of 1983 he would have been a persona- non- Grata in Nigeria today, not any different from hundreds of Generals who are not known and would never been known. [/b]
