netmillionaires: and who said OBJ went to bring Jonathan as Yaradus's running mate because of Niger Deltans causing trouble?
OBJ's military option was a calamity for the economy, because oil exports came down from 2.3million bpd to less than 700,000 bpd. Kindly do the maths at the present price of 50 dollars per barrel, and you will know why OBJ hand picked GEJ. Stop coming here to distort historical facts.
Eruditor: Sadly, your cynicism didn't consider that the "militants" do not hide behind meshes of pipeline(s). They are going to face a ruthless General. This is not the amnesty charade.
Let me take you back memory lane, another General tried fruitlessly in 2006 to use the military against them, and he only succeeded in reducing our oil production to less than 700bpd. He was so frustrated that he had to go and hand pick GEJ to run as Late Yaradua's president. It did not stop at that, GEJ had to go to the creeks to beg them to accept the late president's offer of amnesty. It is either you have a very short memory, or that you were a child, still in school, collecting pocket money from his parents who were obviously suffering the hardship of that time. I honestly think that people like you need to have a taste of the effects of this type of crisis so that they will learn what they don't know. I will advise your Buhari and his APC to start looking at cocoa and groundnuts as a replacement for the oil and gas revenues from Niger delta. The militants are not finding it funny that the north and southwest have ganged up against them. I can assure you that if Buhari goes for the military option, just as OBJ did, it will result to disastrous consequences for Abuja and the entire country. This is not the time for bravado comments from children like you, but for immediate positive engagement to resolve the issues. The way forward is to quickly implement the results of the constitutional conference, that is the true change we should all seek.
I guess Daura will manufacture bullets and missiles that will hit the militants with precision while leaving out the mesh of oil and gas pipelines all over the place. Immediately it becomes a full conflict, it will suck in the whole region, and guess what, those who have won elections to go and sit over the oil and gas resources, will have only cocoa and groundnut to sit over. The outlay doesn't look bright at all, except there is an immediate positive engagement to address whatever issues these boys are asking for.
You were not wrong, you were simply being professional. Your story just goes to show that the company was an 'Okeke & sons' kind of firm. From carrying her handbag, maybe you would have graduated to washing her undies or warming her bed. Companies with such kind of corporate culture do not last long. I believe that employees should be treated professionally based on the terms of their employment, it is only people who are not worth their pay, that go around buttlicking around the place, inorder to keep their jobs. Don't be disheartened, God will provide you with something far better than that shithole of a place.
What advantage does an Igbo Senate President confer on the average Igbo person? What Nigerians want to see, whether Hausa,Igbo,Yoruba, is a government that abides by the 1999 constitution, and commits to the restructuring of the country along the lines of fiscal federalism. We should go beyond this feeling of euphoria that 'our brother' is there. Okorocha should concern himself more with what is about to happen to his position as governor, come April 11th.
GEJ should quickly provide security for all the RECs that supervised elections over the states whose results are keenly being contested, because we cannot afford the destroy the people who will be the key defendants and witnesses in the elections tribunal cases that are set to begin.
All these trash from the southwest risk encouraging the military to do the unthinkable, may 29 is still weeks away, people should be careful. Who is going to deal with who? The only thing GMB can do is to retire people and restructure the military, and if he toes the line of witch hunting any section of the country, as some silly elements in the southwest are presently advising him to do, he will simply be playing into the hands of people who do not mean well for the unity of this country. Such an action will naturally elicit a negative reaction from the affected part of the country, which would ultimately destroy his government. Let's not forget that it is the oil and gas resources in the Niger delta, that is the life-wire of this country, and not cocoa and groundnuts. Any form of sabotage against Buhari's government will be devastating, especially against the backdrop of the fall in crude oil prices. People who do not believe in forging the bonds of unity across the various ethnic and religious divides in Nigeria, should keep away from Buhari, because they are his greatest enemies.
Texcoco: [color=#1980BC] Surround?? When his very deputy is thieffnubu's puppet and then you have Amaechu and his pack of wolves let us not forget the northern establishment led by Athiku,Kwankanso and co?? even Obj....It is going to be a very long term for Buhari and Nigerians. [/color]
From their pronouncement and body language, it is set to be same, of the same. 'Sai Baba' may soon become 'Chai Baba'.
omonnakoda: To every action there is a reaction but not necessarily equal. We want peace and have no intent to spill blood foolishly. However we will not be held to ransom. The amnesty programme will be stopped and Nigeria should focus on ensuring that derivation monies and NDDC monies are judiciously used
Already without a single pipeline being blown up oil prices and therefore revenues have halved due to falling oil prices and the country is still here. Nigeria is producing about 2million barrels of oil daily 2million X $50 X 365 = $37 billion of REVENUE of this figure how much is profit and how much goes to the oil companies. I Think we overestimate how important oil is to us. It is important but most African countries do not have oil. and our lives in Nigeria are not better
TO any one saying that BECAUSE GEJ was rejected at the polls they would resort to violent sabotage there can be no compromise or negotiation,Nigeria has had enough. If that were to happen the action of the FG would depend on whether they get succour and support from the local population. We expect them to be reasonable .If they pursue a secessionist path or the foolishness we are hearing that they will destroy the oil infrastructure then we will not sit idly by. No responsible government will. Unfortunately the government will initially pursue a policy of EXTRACTION UNDER OCCUPATION. If they attack our military we will FORCEFULLY EVACUATE the place the only problem is when that happens there is no guarantee of when or if they will return or whether the same ethnic group that left are the same that will return. People whose forefathers have occupied a land for centuries need to be wise in their actions. The oil companies are already packing their bags. Their strategy now is to focus on FPSOs and they are divesting their on shore operations. Not all oil is in Bayelsa and not the entire Niger Delta will join in the madness but increasingly our oil revenues come from off shore operations. Whatever the case me must realise one thing . The militants are not fighting for the Niger Delta but their pockets. We will work with sensible people like Rotimi Amaechi to do what is right for the region. Asari has always boasted that he did not accept amnesty . He will be tried and jailed. It is up to them to choose whether they want to inflict the fate of GWoza on their people
Your post simply shows how uninformed you are about the Niger delta region, in terms of terrain, size, oil and gas infrastructure and the so-called, deep offshore drilling. You also do not understand the difference in open warfare, with clearly defined front, and guerilla warfare, whose aim is to ruthlessly and efficiently sabotage the oil and gas infrastructure. For your information, OBJ tried and failed woefully, and had to resort to getting GEJ to be elected as vice-president. It did not stop at that, GEJ, the then VP, had to go to the creeks to go and beg the boys. As for the so-called FPSOs in the gulf of guinea, they operate today with Nigerian navy providing 24/7 security, but these guys have the means to reach anywhere in the gulf of guinea. It will simply become the same scenario playing out in the gulf of Aden, where it is taking a multinational force, including US, China etc to engage the Somali pirates. My brother, any campaign to sabotage the oil and gas infrastructure will bring down the new government, even before they have had time to settle down. You should rather direct your advise to the APC children on social media who are relentlessly trying to goad the militants into action, with the daily rubbish they are sewing against GEJ supporters. Buhari has inherited a deeply divided nation, and can ill- afford the irresponsible statements coming from the likes of thiefnnubu, OBJ, etc who ought to know better. Is it not surprising to you that the northerners are not engaged in this subtle campaign by OBJ and thiefnnubu to make things really hard for Buhari? The earlier they and their children on social media stop these silly commentaries flying around everywhere, the better for the incoming administration.
TopGee: I got a Call now and the Militants are claiming they are facing constant abuse by the same people that ganged up against them. They are threatening them, and so have decided to meet them at the battlefield. This is the reason I warned that our youths must be careful because the way Buhari supporters are abusing those that voted Jonathan might trigger "we no gree again." It is not a crime to vote for any candidate of your choice but our utterances may destroy Nigeria, and all those boasting Buhari will destroy this and that will realize that war is not as easy as they think.
The election has come and gone peacefully but post election comments suppose to douse tension, instead many youths want to set Nigeria on fire ignorantly through their utterances. They don't know the harm they are about to cause to Nigeria as a result of abusing and threatening other regions that voted Jonathan based on their convictions. Everybody must not vote for one candidate. You don't have the power yet.
Honestly, I think that these small children on social media running their mouths against GEJ supporters are really working hard to have a taste of what they have never seen before. You should understand that experience remains the greatest teacher, so these children need to have this critical experience of what can happen to the exchange rate of the naira and the economy in general, when the militants decide to go back to the creeks. I'm sure that after such an experience, if the nation survives it, then those who survive will be in a better position of advising themselves and the ones coming after them.
I guess that was the 'change' Benue and the southwest APC voted for. The fulanis are simply giving you guys the evaluation copy, the full version is coming after may 29. Congratulations.
dridowu: Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has taunted Olabode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for saying he would flee if the APC wins the 2015 election.
Tinubu said it was the personal decision of George to choose if he wants to stay or not.
“He can decide to go now if he wants. Who cares?” he said.
George had earlier said Tinubu would see him as a target should the APC come to power.
“If Bola Tinubu finds his way into national government, I will go on exile,” he told Punch back in February.
“He hasn’t the temerity and the calmness of mind. They don’t even know what to do in power. Because the vice-president is his boy, he will just order that Bode George should be picked up.”
However, in another interview he granted after the result of the election had been announced, George said he was serious about the decision to flee.
“What will I be doing here? I can decide to go and live anywhere. Look at everyone surrounding him (Buhari),” he said.
”So, I am not joking about it, what will I be doing here? At 70, what will I be doing here? All we have been doing to restructure the country has been lost. We have been trying to ensure balance in the polity but all that has gone. What else will I be doing here?” K Tinubu asked him to relocate to Rivers or Bayelsa if he wishes to.
“He had relocated temporarily before and came back. So it is not a new thing,” Tinubu said.
“If he decided to relocate again, to where? It might be to Bayelsa, it might be to Rivers. It might be to anywhere. he has the freedom to live anywhere he wants. What’s my bother? I’m here. So me, too, I can relocate now.”
Continue to run your mouth because soon you and your southwest APC will know that it was not APC that was declared winner in the elections, but CPC. Keep fooling around.

This silly post shows that you are simply a child coming to social media to advertise your shallow mindedness.
EUROBOMBER: Let me start by saying congratulations to Muhammadu Buhari for winning the presidential election and emerging as Nigeria’s president-elect. I have come to realise that Buhari’s victory is the will of God for Nigeria and so, I have come to accept him as my president.
I also want to congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan for being mature enough to accept defeat and concede the election. This man remains one of the greatest Nigerian presidents because he could have decided to set Nigeria on fire but chose the honourable path.
I want to also recognise all my fellow PDP e-warriors that stood beside the President. Thank you for your resilience and unflinching support all through the struggle. Also to recognise all the APC e-warriors who fought bravely in support of their party despite all odds and won the battle.
MY MESSAGE FOR BUHARI
Now that you have become the President, I want to let you know that the change Nigerians really need is not the change of personalities or political party, Nigerians are just tired of the way things have been going in this country. Nigerians are suffering; we struggle to provide basic needs that ordinarily the Government should provide. Thieves continue to steal and get richer while the majority of Nigerians are languishing in poverty. This is the reason why Nigerians have decided to give you a chance; the people believe that God can use you to turn things around in this country that is why you were voted for last Saturday.
(1) Fight corruption to a complete halt in this country especially in the petroleum sector. Sanitize the NNPC, ensure transparency and accountability. Nigerians all over should be able to benefit from our God-given resources. A few cannot continue to hold this country to ransom and steal at will.
(2) Provide stable and reliable power supply for Nigerians. This will enable SME’s to thrive and encourage investors to flock massively into the country. The cost of doing business in this country is crazy because of high energy costs. We must do away with generators in this country for good Mr President.
(3) Please diversify our economy. We cannot continue to depend heavily on oil in Nigeria. Sit down and take a good look at the six geopolitical zones in this country and find a way of harnessing all economic potentials for the good of all Nigerians. Our economy must be less dependent on crude oil.
(4) Deal ruthlessly with corrupt persons who believe that they can continue to steal and do business as usual. This is a democracy but Mr President, you are the C-in-C and you have enormous powers at your disposal, please use them! Don’t be like Jonathan who allowed his Government to be hijacked by criminals who looted the nation dry while Nigerians cried.
(5) Finally, Buhari could be the man that God could use to finally cement Nigeria’s bond of unity by handing over to an Igbo-Nigerian president after his tenure in office whether 4 or 8yrs. Like the Elder statesman Yakubu Gowon said, electing an Igbo president would heal the old wounds of the civil war. Buhari’s name will be written in gold both in the hearts of the Igbos if he can be the instrument to achieving Igbo presidency in this country. If Buhari, being a Fulani from the North can transfer presidential power to the Igbos after him then he will be like the hinge holding Nigeria together.
A WORD FOR THE SE
I want to thank my geopolitical zone the SE for standing with Jonathan till the end. Yes, he lost the election but we have made a bold statement that we can stand with you till death when we give you our word. There was immense pressure to abandon the minority Ijaw man and join the majority but we refused and stood with the minority till the very end. We must however join hands with the new president to move this great nation forward. Personally, I have concluded that Nigeria has come to stay since we have survived this 2015 presidential election. Let us also build good bridges with other geopolitical zones so that we can produce Nigeria’s president after Buhari. No zone can produce the president alone in this country; you need the support of at least four zones to produce the president!
Let us also eschew bitterness and drop all these talk about Biafra; we are Nigerians and we have everything to gain in this country if we can play our game well.
A WORD FOR THE NIGER DELTA
Thank God we can now say that Nigeria has produced a president for the first time from the minority in the person of Goodluck Jonathan who is about to leave office. I can understand the pain/anger because of the outcome of this election but the truth is that what has happened is the will of God for Nigeria; I see the finger of God in all these. This is Buhari’s time to rule this country; he is a man of destiny. He has come just at the right time to save this country from gliding into abyss.
Stop calling the Yorubas traitors and all that. Remember that the Yorubas overwhelmingly voted for your son in 2011 and rejected this same buhari. Check the figures and see that buhari was soundly rejected by the Yorubas in 2011. All Nigerians believed that Jonathyan would be a Messiah that would come and turn things around in this country; this was a man who had no shoes to go to school, who was from a poor background. Nigerians voted massively for him only to be so disappointed that he has not been able to make their lives better. Things are much more difficult for Nigerians now than when Jonathan took over. This is the reason why the Yourubas have rejected Jonathan this time. It is not out of hatred or gang-up but because he has not performed well! Same story about most of the MB and that is why Jonathan lost the MB. Nigerians never had it this bad, state Governors are owing salaries for months, people are hungry, unable to pay school fees and unable to meet their basic human needs.
How foolish can a Government be? Imagine someone that wants to come for a second term and civil servants were not paid their December salaries to celebrate Christmas! This is just unbelievable! It was in December last year that I began to question this Government in my mind but I still continued my relentless support on Nairaland for Jonathan. I saw my relatives who were Civil Servants going hungry during the Christmas celebrations, some could not even purchase new clothes for their kid, how painful!
As for me, I will do my very best in my own little capacity to support Buhari in changing this country for good. If things should continue the way they were going under Jonathan I wonder what the future of our children would be to be honest. It is God that has pushed out Jonathan not Nigerians because of all the prayers and crying that has gone up to him.
Let me also use this medium to appeal to all reasonable Yorubas on Nairaland to prevail on their people to stop opening funny threads about Igbo this Igbo that just because Jonathan lost. The APC people should stop opening threads to tell other Nigerians ‘Ntorrr’, we should move away from such pettiness and mediocrity.
A WORD TO THE CORE NORTH
And to the core North, let this election be a lesson and a reference point. A southerner sitting as president presided over his own defeat, accepted the results and went ahead to congratulate the winner from the north. In 2011 when Jonathan defeated Buhari, he refused to concede defeat but shouted that the election was rigged when we all know that he was defeated by Jonathan then. Nobody is burning tyres on the road in the South, nobody is burning Mosques, nobody is burning houses/cars and nobody is going about killing Northerners. Should the Northerners lose elections in future we expect them to accept the results and not disturb the peace. Jonathan has set a very good precedent not only for Nigeria but Africa.
This is about one of the best commentaries I've ever seen on this forum in a very long time. It should make the headlines in all our dailies. God bless you.
What trash is this boko haram collaborator talking about? Jega systematically ensured that a lot of voters from the south east were disenfranchised through the combination of his lopsided voters registration, PVC collection and deliberately misconfigured smartcard readers. This man should stop these silly comments that are not helpful to Buhari because they seek to cause more divisions.
He would of course not want to serve any further term after doing the dirty job that the northern political establishment asked him to do. He has simply succeeded in midwifing nigeria into a possible intractable crisis.
You will care very soon. It is obvious that people like you need to experience what your parents experienced when the last shut-in happened, when you where probably in school receiving pocket money. Six months down the line, I will ask people like you 'how market'.
SARAKI: THE NEMESIS OF PDP One of the most underrated politicians in Nigeria must be Bukola Saraki, former governor of Kwara state. As chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum between 2007 and 2011, his influence among his powerful colleagues ballooned, and he eventually nominated Amaechi to be his successor. That gave him considerable influence on NGF even after his tenure as governor. Then, his loyalist, Kawu Baraje, became the acting national chairman of the PDP, further giving him a strong hold on the party structure. However, Jonathan, probably eyeing the 2015 elections, dislodged Baraje from the PDP secretariat. That was the final push for Bukola who promptly engineered the breakup of the ruling party in conjunction with other anti-Jonathan forces within and without. On August 31, 2013, the PDP had its convention in Abuja with the sole aim of electing a new chairman. However, rather than that making the headlines, the biggest news of the day was the staging of a walk-out by section of the party led by Bukola Saraki, former governor of Kwara state, and seven governors from the party. They were later to be known as the new PDP and they became unofficial opposition party to the PDP. When they eventually merged with the newly formed APC, they left the PDP bleeding as a spate of defections followed.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo went about the demolition of the Goodluck Jonathan political brand with such determination that left many analysts wondering if there was nothing more to it than a statesman and his desire for good governance. But Obasanjo had an axe to grind with Jonathan. Having helped the latter to Aso Rock in 2011, he discovered, to his dismay, that Jonathan was keeping him at an arm’s length and that Tony Anenih, Obasanjo’s friend-turned-foe, had become the most powerful elder in the PDP. Bone by bone, Obasanjo began to take Jonathan to pieces. He would later ask most of his loyalists in the south-west, such as Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Isiaka Adeleke and Segun Oni, to join forces with the APC while he became a ‘political consultant’ to the party. On the international level, Obasanjo used his influence to get Nigeria’s allies such as the US and the UK to downgrade Jonathan and promote the candidature of Buhari. Obasanjo’s frequent public criticism of Jonathan often resonated with the views of many Nigerians. Jonathan did not need a political enemy like Obasanjo, and he had his hands full till the last minute.
Who contributed the most to Jonathan's defeat?
Buhari Tinubu Amaechi Saraki Obasanjo
In my Opinion..the arrangements above best fits to who contributed the most.
This whole write-up does a lot of harm to the possibility of Buhari's government succeeding. Kindly quit these unhelpful inquisition because it seeks nothing other than eliciting undesirable reactions from the millions of GEJ supporters, a lot of whom have the capacity to cripple Buhari's government even before it has started. God bless Nigeria.
Buhari will do well to steer clear from OBJ in his usual, age-long culture of vindictiveness against imaginary enemies, because he is cunningly trying to set Buhari up for immediate failure. People like OBJ remain the main problem of Nigeria, because they continue to see themselves as the king makers in Nigeria. OBJ fell out with the late Yaradua when the late president started resisting his meddlesomeness. He followed up with GEJ, and is now trying to do same with Buhari. It is in the best interest of Buhari, to steer clear of OBJ, because he has proven over the past four decades to be the most divisive element in our political culture. Is OBJ trying to precipitate a reaction from the military, against our democratic system? Why is he trying strenuously to goad them into an unconstitutional action. It is now very clear that OBJ is highly disappointed in the maturity and statesmanship exhibited by GEJ, in conceding defeat in the presidential elections, a character that is alien to a man that believes in do-or-die politics. Perhaps, he is trying to precipitate a reaction from the boys in the creek, so that his widely, rumoured plan to head an interim government could be realised. OBJ is simply one of those characters in human histor,y that will not go and rest in peace until the law of karma takes its full course on them. We trust that he will get his reward in the fullness of time. God bless Nigeria.
9jatatafo: Good one from FFK, as you go back to your vomit. Next time guide your utterances Mr FFK as you have dented your PR all in the name of money and power.
Buhari is smart enough to know that he will do himself a lot of good not to cross paths with FFK. FFK is indeed someone you wouldn't want to have as an enemy, or square up against. The less enemies Buhari has, the better for him and the success of his incoming administration. What we can assure you is that PDP will constitute the most formidable opposition that has ever been seen in nigeria's recent political history, and FFK is definitely going to be a key component of that opposition movement. If APC fails to deliver on atleast 20% of all the bogus promises they have made all over the place, you can bet that the PDP will be on their case. That is the beauty of any strong democracy.
You must be seriously deluded to think that Buhari has been elected as both President,Judiciary and Legislature rolled into one, which would allow him to put people in prison as you people have been brainwashed to believe. The 1999 constitution from where Buhari will derive his authority to preside over Nigeria, has placed the necessary legal checks and balances to ensure that madness does not find its way into the head of any occupant of Aso Rock. Kindly avail yourself of the necessary legal education on this matter before coming on social media to advertise your ignorance.
irunoobo: [b]This election is not about GEJ been scammed in southwest or not. The people of the SW and north spoke the truth with their votes. It is unfortunate the Igbos made a wrong political gamble by supporting GEJ even though he failed woefully and did nothing tangible for their region. They failed to forget the past and embrace national unity hence their political decisions has always damaged their chances of having a major political influence or relevance in the Nigerian system.
There were so many indications that Jonathan was going to lose - He prepared late; he was careful with the timing of his declaration, when body language showed he was interested. He had no message for the people. All I heard were trains and fertilizers, YouWin, benin-Ore road and SureP(Really?) for 6 years. His campaign strategies reeled of derogatory statements and unnecessary personality attacks instead of concrete manifestos. APC employed consultants, PDP employed losers (FFKs, Okupe, Abati, Reuben, TANs etc). Jonathan heated the polity with ethnic-religious campaign strategies, jumping from one church to another; what do you think the Muslims would do? His wife continued to make derogatory statements against the North calling them names for making babies they can't cater for and insulting them with the constant mention of Almajiri schools. He was deceived by his aides , greedy people around him and he became a sectional leader. He was a bad product and I made mention of this regularly, a bad product never sells.
So I would say he scammed himself, he deceived himself by running to the south west bribing kings for endorsements as if the masses don't know what they really want.
He has successfully created a divide along tribal, religious and ethnic line all around the country and it will take a massive national reorientation to restore our national unity.
I will not pat him at the back for conceding defeat cos he already knew what awaits him if he acted on the contrary. He was part of the crew that ousted Gbagbo and he is fully aware of the watchful eyes of the ICC and instead of spending the rest of his life in jail like Gbagbo, he chose to return to Otueke to enjoy his loot in peace.
Gej should have won this elections easily if he had the interest of the masses at heart. He will forever live with the stigma of the first incumbent president to be ousted in Nigeria.[/b]
Your type with this silly piece, are the worst enemies of Buhari because you are inadvertently trying to set him up for failure because he can never succeed with a country heavily divided around ethnic and religious lines. Any form of sabotage of Buhari's regime, especially by the militants in the creeks blowing up the pipeline, will put paid to the new government before they have even had time to settle down. Buhari has been smart enough to appeal for unity and oneness across the various political divide, and he has gone further to state that people like you who hold such divisive views do not speak fro him, or belong to him. Kindly keep these your parochial and silly views to yourself because you are simply trying to cause problems for the new incoming government.
I hope that the honourable governor knows that this action will have no impact on the exchange rate of the naira and is just performing for us.
It will have massive impact on the exchange rate because the demand for dollar will reduce. Dollars demand should be for legitimate reasons only, such as importation of items not on import prohibition list, foreign companies trying to repatriate their profits, DTA, school fees for students schooling abroad etc. The CBN governor is absolutely correct.
mobuch: U are on a long thing if u think buhari will provide these things u just mentioned. We have nailed ourselves into our coffins, and in few years, we shall all realise the biggest mistake we have all made by allowing a nincompoop to come back to power. Word.
Calm down guys, lets give Buhari the benefit of the doubt. If he does not discard out rightly the wolves like theifnnubu and Amaechi around him, we will be on his case after the first 100 days. But as to those promises you mentioned, it would be mischievous of anyone to expect him to achieve any of that. What we would like to see is the continued implementation of the transformation agenda of GEJ which is definitely the only realistic document highlighting the policy framework for moving nigeria forward. I believe that Buhari knows better than to deviate from continuing with the transformation agenda.
Benson123: Pls help us to solve the issue of boko haram, create jobs and stop corruption from the top to the grass root and make nigerian to live in peace and as one congratulation and God bless nigeria ijn amen.
Don't you think your expectations of this guy is quite unrealistic? Are you expecting magic, rather than realistic policy driven approach to solving problems? Please, stop preparing yourself for heart ache. Buhari is not a magician.
boyberlin: Tinubu is officially Nigeria's most powerful man.
He will know very soon that he has been officially scammed by the north, when the northern political establishments who all the while have been pulling the strings silently, no surface to make public the way they want things to go. Keep deceiving yourself.
olaideeeedris: Especially you, I mean u lalasticlala
When everyone is advocating for peace and unity across the different political divide, you come here with your shallow mindedness to stoke the embers of discord that would do Buhari no good. Buhari has stated it clearly in his statement yesterday that people like you do dot speak for him or are for him, so keep your parochialism to yourself because everyone right now is congratulating GEJ for his unheard-of statemanship and sense of patriotism.
