Just make sure you keep your corrupt fingers off our commonwealth you thief.

Eyop:

It is these types of silly posts from silly minds like you that will elicit the negative reactions from the boys in the creeks that everyone has been trying to manage for the past 48 hours. People like you are Buhari's worst enemies, and I'm sure he will do well do distance himself from your type.

achemedez:
THE FEAR OF BUHARI IS.......

You are one of the small minds being referred to in that statement. The less of your type we have in the society, the more progressive our society becomes.

I suspect that the results from the remaining SS and SE states will not come in, and will be awaited indefinitely to render the entire elections inconclusive. This may then be followed by litigation in court to challenge the results from most of the states in the north. You can guess what we would be headed for at the end of the day. I smell serious constitutional crisis ahead.

Foreign Secretary and US Secretary of State joint statement on the Nigerian elections.
Our governments welcome the largely peaceful vote on 28 March. The Nigerian people have shown a commendable determination to register their vote and choose their leaders.
So far, we have seen no evidence of systemic manipulation of the process.
But there are disturbing indications that the collation process - where the votes are finally counted - may be subject to deliberate political interference. This would contravene the letter and spirit of the Abuja Accord, to which both major parties committed themselves.
The Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom would be very concerned by any attempts to undermine the independence of the Electoral Commission (INEC), or its Chairman, Prof Jega; or in any way distort the expressed will of the Nigerian people.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-uk-and-us-statement-on-the-nigerian-elections

The expressed will of the people started getting distorted right from when INEC in collusion with APC permitted underage voters registration in the north, followed by voting of those minors on the 28th of march elections. In addition, the distortion also included midnight voting/rigging in the north, coupled with violence and threat of violence against GEJ supporters in the north. The US and UK should quit making these irresponsible comments that are not helpful to the country other than serving the selfish interests of these two countries. It is no longer news that they have been in support of Buhari and the APC as they sought to undermine the credibility of the entire electoral process, starting with the compromised voters registration in the north and the lopsided PVC distribution in favour of the north. In summary, the US and UK should desist from this silly meddlesomeness in the affairs of another country.

Rather they prevented you from unleashing your thugs in a bid to undermine the credibility of the elections.

Past three presidential elections the PDP guys in my area are always very confidence that their candidate will win even before the election is announced but for the first time in history this year election is different,all the PDP guys are very afraid of the election results,some of them have heard some information from inec officials and they discovered that BUHARI is winning more votes,BUHARI is winning more votes at the states with a very huge population and that is a very big advantage to him,the south west that GEJ was relying on have failed him because currently it is only in ekiti that PDP won even though BUHARI was still able to even get more than 30%!!!!!!!fayose will be crying right now because he is seeing the signs that GEJ is going back to otuoke on may29...

Please, be patient and get ready to lick your wounds because GEJ has won the elections.

BiHung:
Cos they want to start tampering with the results.

#RejectRiversResult

If Jega doesn't reject the rigged results from Rivers state....the protest in the North will divide Nigeria...cos even the soldiers voted for change

The security forces are ready for idiots who may want to cause chaos. GEJ has won, live with it.

Why are the APC deceiving themselves with lies? In less than 24 hours from now, the lies will turn to how PDP rigged GEJ back to power, Nigerians get ready. Meanwhile, we are getting ready for GEJ's re-election party as from Monday, 30th march, those who intend to cross over are enjoined to join us as well, thank you.

wakacome:
Buhari is winning Northern states with big margin,remember that northern states has the highest numbers of voters

in southern states which includes south west,south east,south south e.t.c goodluck jonathan and buhari are around 50/50,judging by this it is obvious that buhari will win this election if it is not rigged.......infact BUHARI is winning right now in ogun state and oyo state ,buhari will even win the south west despite all the dollars that jonathan shared to obas and co....



Wakacome

Continue deceiving yourself.

nagoma:
Going out to vote Buhari now.

Buhari's issue with Umaru Dikko was personal vendetta and had nothing to do with Buhari being n upright person. I hope you have not forgotten about the 53 suitcases, or may be you were just a toddler then or had not been born. We who witnessed all these know better, and fortunately, majority of the voting population know better, GEJ all the way.

chiefolododo:
late lies , i have decided

Your type constitute an insignificant minority. GEJ all the way.

Obama is a secret muslim whose elections as US president is one of the worst things to have happened int the world. It is not a surprise that he is interested in the islamization agenda of Jihadist who want to take over the world. All his actions to the contrary all smack of hypocrisy when one considers his antecedents in Syria, Iran and latest, Yemen. Today, no thanks to Obama's policies, extremists are taking over a lot of arab countries and their attacks on the western world is becoming more brazen. His presidency has made the world a much more insecure place than he met it.

Coming back to Nigeria, GEJ has handled Obama's collusion with the Jihadists with wisdom. Today, the war against insurgency has picked up with more BH decimated, such that they cannot carry out their threats to undermine the elections. Kudos to our resilient and gallant armed forces and GEJ, their able C-in-C. We have no doubt that GEJ will be overwhelmingly re-elected today as president, as that is the only viable option towards moving forward as a united, virile country. By the grace of God, nigerians are coming out today en masse to reject Buhari and his foreign collaborators who want to destroy nigeria.

coming out to spew this trash on the eve of a presidential election clearly shows that Chad is working against GEJ's re-election. Unfortunately for Buhari and his collaborators across the border, nigerians know better than to entrust their future to a Jihadist.

EdCure:
There shall he return to lick his wounds by May 29 in Jesus name,
Amen.

#WeHaveDecided to reject GEJ/PDP
#WeHaveDecided to vote Chance
#WeHaveDecided to embrace Progress

#ThankYouAPC!

Stop twisting scriptures to suit your delusions. GEJ supporters are the sons of Issachar who understood the times and what needed to be done. By the mercies of The Lord God Almighty, who has rejected Buhari three times, GEJ will win the elections overwhelmingly, to seal Buhari's fate for the fourth and last time.

Collynzo419:
Is this the transformation agenda that Jona promised us?

Leave 60% of Nigerians hungry for 4 years and now buying their votes 6 weeks to election

Shame on Jonathan!

#wehavedecided

He who is without sin should cast the first stone. APC are not saints, PDP is simply beating them to their own game.

egift:
1. Since 2011, a lot has changed.
2. Nigerians are now aware of the incompetence of Jonathan.
3. Unlike 2011, APC have a wider and stronger political structures than CPC.
4. More voters, politicians, international communities now embrace the candidacy of Buhari.
5. The 2015 Campaign of Buhari is better funded and has been issue based, unlike Jonathan who spent more attacking the person of Buhari.
6. Buhari has penetrated Jonathan's primary stronghold, while Jonathan has lost ground in where GMB's base.
7. Nigerians are not happy with how things have been handled under Jonathan. Everyone wants Change. Apart from improvements in few places, we can't see any transformation in Jonathan's cosmetics.
8. Buhari has better understanding to the problems facing Nigerian. Untill 2015 New Year Message, Jonathan never accepted Corruption was a big problem.
9. Buhari and his Team have ran a better Presidential Campaign than Jonathan, even with smaller fund. Same thing to expect in the incoming administration.

Therefore this 2015, it is Mathematically impossible for Buhari to lose.

Sai Buhari.

You will be shocked because a combination of Buhari's indiscretions such as his rumored ties with BH and his role in the post election violence of 2011 has made him lose a lot of supporters. His extremist views that has been widely publicized through the various documentaries has not helped his cause. In addition, his use of threat of violence against GEJ supporters will not apply this time around. The cleaner electoral process will not allow him to do multiple thumb printing and under age voting, coupled with the fact that the initial hatred for GEJ in the north in 2011 is not the same today because of what the president has done for the north in the areas of agriculture, dam projects, transportation etc. This time around, GEJ will make much more inroads in the north than in 2011.

In the southwest, GEJ will get basically the same percentage of votes due to the efficiency of his grassroots campaign. Don't be deceived by the noise in the social media because more than 95% of the voting population are not on social media. GEJ's virtual monopoly of both AIT and NTA has given him the most media penetration across the entire country, and this will result in his getting much more votes than he did in 2011.

After the elections, people like you would learn a necessary lesson in the fact that the effect of social media in nigeria's elections is over hyped, especially when you are contesting against the incumbent who has access to almost limitless financial, security and institutional resources to contest the elections. By the grace of God, GEJ will defeat Buhari overwhelmingly in the elections. APC are already readying a story in anticipation of their impending defeat in the elections, but Nigerians would not be fooled because the majority are rooting for continuity.

Liar Mohammed, where is the proof, if you can't provide proof, then it is just one of those your desperate lies.

Very good letter from a statesman of unquestionable honesty. By the mercies and grace of the Lord God Almighty, just like the sons of Issachar understood the times to enthrone David as King , the sons and daughters of nigeria will re-elect you, GEJ, overwhelmingly in the march 28th presidential elections.

otemanuduno:
This country is SO sick!!!
[b]I just finished reading a post on Nairaland where GEJ awarded multi billion naira contract to the Agberos(OPC) who are popularly known as the nuisance of Lagos state.

They steal your money in daylight(daylight robber)

They are the majority under the bridge, not going to school at all(like the Hausa Almajiris).

[b]OUR GEJ bypassed the 40 million unemployed graduates of Nigeria to award contracts worth billions of dollars to 'dullards'

OUR GEJ built 12 more universities which amounts to four to seven years waste of time after secondary school + 1 year NYSC time wasting; but he didn't remember to increase employment rate for graduates.

OUR GEJ refused to increase Corpers' allawee to 38k so that our youth can save 19k monthly out of it and use such to start business after service year; but instead, they kept hosting seminars on entrepreneurship. Okay, let's say u are collecting 19k allawee. U eat #200 per time, so #600 per day × 30 days. You spent #18,000 per 30 day months and #19,000 per 31 day months, without money for toiletries, cosmetics, shoes, clothes, etc.

OUR President empowers militants all over the nation(bribe) and left the literate graduates out of his plan. He made it seem as if being a vandal is a good job that pays in the long run.

OUR President made it seem as if going to school in the north is improper since he wouldn't protect the few going to school there (the CHIBOK'S GIRLS).

OUR PRESIDENT will soon grant BOKO HARAM amnesty, offering them billions of naira, but we graduates remain without good jobs.

ONLY A BLIND GRADUATE AND CORPER WILL VOTE YOU (GEJ) INTO POWER THE SECOND TIME.

I HAVE DECIDED!!!

Pls be a part of those who shares this truth[/b]

I guess we don't have state and local governments in nigeria, and all nigeria problems started with GEJ. You are just a confused APC apologist, go and think of more intelligent things to post.

Raiders:
Congratulation to our next president Mr Buhari

You are talking as if APC and Buhari believe in free and fair elections. If the Lagos SIEC that organized the last LG elections had adopted half the measures being deployed by INEC, I can bet you that APC, then ACN would have lost atleast over 50% of the LGs in Lagos. In the north, Buhari recorded massive numbers in 2011 through the instrumentality of intimidation and threats of violence against GEJ supporters before the elections, and even after the elections. This time around, it will not be business as usual by the provision of adequate security facilitated by the deployment of soldiers. Adequate security is critical to the credibility of any election in Nigeria and this present arrangement is causing headache to APC because they can no longer employ their usual violence in the north. In the southwest, Tinubu's use of the thugs in the various motor parks in the southwest, especially Lagos, in rigging the elections is being neutralized by the open endorsement of the OPC of GEJ, coupled with the new procedures by INEC, in addition to the provision of adequate security through the deployment of soldiers for the elections. That is why APC have been in the forefront of the criticisms trailing the decision to deploy soldiers to provide perimeter security for the elections. It is therefore funny to see Buharists like you rejoicing prematurely because there is only one outcome in the march 28th elections, which is an overwhelming defeat for Buhari and the APC. Your eyes will be clear by the 29th of March, 2015. GEJ till 2019.

supereagle:
Soludo wanted to revalue Naira,they stopped him. Ghana revalued cedis and it is stronger today.

Ghana did not revalue their currency, but simply re-denominated it without any change in the value or purchasing power. Stop coming here to misinform people. That was why after the re-denomination, Ghanaians were still making references to old and new Ghana Cedis whenever you wanted to buy something. If Soludo had succeeded, a man earning 100,000 old naira per month would be earning 10,000 new naira per month, would have said that the purchasing value of your salary had increased due to what Soludo had done? Please, confusing yourself with this unintelligent post of yours. It is practically impossible to make one naira equal to one dollar in today's world economy. Buhari just proved that he is indeed the clueless one.

TheGoodJoe:
Why are you talking like this?

The reason Prof. Soludo's plan did not work was because Justice Minister Aondoakaa stopped it. Not that it was not doable. It was a project in motion.

For Gen. Buhari to say it, it shows someone is thinking of how to fix our deplorable economy. Not like GEJ who is breaking all records in corruption.


Please, tell GEJ to make the PWC Audit of the NNPC public before the election.

Let me enlighten you if you care. Soludo wanted to realign the local currency to the dollar which has nothing to do with revaluation. If Soludo had suceeded, the purchasing power of the local currency under whatever name Soludo chose to call the new currency, would not have changed. When Ghana did it, the purchasing power of their new local currency did not change.

Tosin007:
All these won't help Jonathan, he knows within him that Buhari is winning this.

I have decided!
SaiBuhari

You are one of the deluded, insignificant minority we expect to vote for the retard who is promising to make one dollar for one naira. We are not missing the small votes of people like you.

lastpage:
I would have loved to do a detailed analysis of your post but its late in the night for me, but l will summarize.

Dont know how old you are but l can tell you that l was old enough to handle a Dollar, when the Naira was EQUAL to the Dollar..... and our reserve was not anywhere a TRILLION, not even a Billion Dollars, back then.
Check the exchange rate in the early 70's and confirm my point.
Back then, Nigeria was exporting a lot of Cocoa, ground nut, Palm Oil, Rubber, e.t.c

It was done then, it can be done now... Period!

2.) To say a very strong naira is not good for Nigeria, to justify the worse-than-Zimbabwean "Naira' we are spending today, is not doing "full justice" to economics!
I wont go on a long analysis of Dangote or Ibekwe but let us just "invert" your statement and see how it pans out.

Can we say "A very strong Dollar is NOT GOOD for America"?.....
.....and despite at almost #240 => Dollar, has it stopped Nigerians from importing from America (most of our imported cars are from there, just to mention one item) or scrambling to buy the Dollar?
More importantly, has it STOPPED America from exporting its products all over the world, especially to Nigeria?
Answer is obviously NO!

Finally, as educated people, we must refrain from espousing what l will call "half knowledge", deliberately or otherwise, especially when doling out "economic precepts". Our analysis has to be "balanced" and reflected on all possibilities.

Let me make bold to say that what YOU THINK may be LOST from a "strong local currency" can be, .....and IS actually NEGATED by the following:

a.) Superior Products (which are always in demand, irrespective of higher prices)

b) Reputation (E.g, America has a "reputation" for "full options" vehicles thus, despite the additional cost, people will rather inport an "American Spec", than one from japan or Europe.

c.) Strong Local Market (Countries with Big population which has "HIGH PURCHASING POWER" can still take advantage of their strong currencies without much negative effect as MOST products from their Factories get consumed locally)

4.) Selective Production (This is similar to (a) above but here, emphasis is on producing goods that are either termed "luxury" or very 'high-tech" and or "uncommon" e.h high class armaments, expensive cars that gets Russians buying , e.t.c.

Bottom line: A Strong currency is NOT a disadvantage to a nation or its export (as you asserted) ...... if you have the right people managing the "MIX" of Economic policies!

I understand that such economic "management" is beyond a "I know Nothing" President or his thieving cohorts, more so in a Nigeria where the leaders stiLl dont recognize the fact that calling you "economic giant of Africa or ranking you #1 on some utopian index" MEANS NADDA, IF YOU CANT EVEN POWER YOUR HOMES OR FACTORIES FOR AT LEAST 12HRS IN A DAY!

We have been trying to do two things since the days of Shagari, without success!

1) Convince foreign INVESTORS that Nigeria is 'the country' to invest. Except for a few "crooked" investors who themselves are only here to scam our system, with the collusion of their local crooks, l have not seen any serious investors in Nigeria, for decades! Some are doing what is called "window-dressing", being around "on paper" .... just in-case something crops up

2.) Export Promotion by keeping a weak currency: This one is a no-brainer! What do we really produce in this country, that is "competitively" worth exporting, ..............using Generator and Diesel as the source of industrial power?

Please, our leaders should stop scamming the populace!
It will not happen, not with Buhari, certainly never with GEJ......unless power becomes at least 80% stable.

Lastpage!

Reading through your write-up brings me to the conclusion that you know little or nothing about modern day economic realities. Your argument dwells on the realms of possibilities and not on present day realities. America that you are quoting will go down the drain the day the rest of the world decide to move away from the dollar as the means of valuing their reserves, then the constant printing of more dollars coupled with the huge debt profile will wipe out the american economy. The template for all countries that want to achieve a favorable balance of trade against the rest of the world is the asian tigers like Japan, China, South Korea etc. These are the countries who are indeed exporting more than everybody than they import from them. That is what nigeria should aspire to achieve. Please, don't come here to be posting theories that are not in tune with the present day world economic realities. Buhari in making that statement simply typifies the poverty of ideas running through the APC, who in their desperation for power, continue to make unrealistic and bogus promises everyday.

This goes to show indeed that this man is either a stark illiterate or a deluded fraudster. I wonder how people who claim to have gone to school will still queue up behind this joke of a man. One naira to a dollar because nigeria is far more industrialized and productive than the entire european union, united states, japan and china all put together. Even if the balance of trade between nigeria and the rest of the world put together is skewed in nigeria's favour, we will not be able to sustain an exchange rate like that. It will just make our products the most expensive in the international market. This is sheer idiocy of the highest order.

ilugunboy:
I know those PEJ statements will hurt GEJ once people start using it to campaign in the north....you don't insult people and still expect them to do you a favor.

Those words will surely resonates in the whole of Northern Nigeria (they have the highest PVC registered and collected).....while some kids keep shouting GEJ till....nonsense on Nairaland and elsewhere on the internet..

When PDP takes stock of how they lost the elections.....PEJ utterances and combative disposition will come on top of the list.

Northern Christians who are not beggars being refered to will vote massively for GEJ. Moreover, the Christians are in the majority, so we are not bothered. GEJ should just ensure that Buhari will not use his BH murderers to intimidate the northern Christians.

"Predominantly Muslim north", where is the census figure that states that. Other than decades long propaganda from the hausa/fulani moslem political establishment, there is no data to contest the fact that northern christians are the majority in the north. All these foreign media cooking up passionate stories to suggest that Buhari stands a chance in the elections are part of the problem. The reality on the ground is that GEJ will overwhelmingly win the elections as long as they are free, fair, credible and violence/intimidation free.

fboycaestro:
But why are you so pained?

Its people lime you that should answer why you are so bothered with the fact that Ayo Fayose continues to dish out to the crooks in APC, their own medicine, despite all their lies and propaganda to rubbish him. Now they have resorted to using a disgruntled low-life of a brother in attacking him. They have arrogated to themselves the right to confer integrity and credibility on whomever they so desire, through their well structured campaign of lies, deceit and propaganda. You see, you can only deceive people for a time but not all the time, Majority of nigerians, through the patriotic efforts of FFK and Ayo Fayose, can now see through the massive fraud and deception called APC. A deluded group of supporter of APC militia trying to gain power through sheer lies, deceit and propaganda. You and your likes are indeed the ones who are pained.

afosahid:
You sound like a wild animal that has been let out of its cage. Yes the soldiers should protect people if they are eventually deployed not shoot people.

Thank God people like you are not in charge of the affairs of this country

I think that the wild beasts who want to let themselves loose are the APC leaders whose stock of trade remains the use of intimidation and threat of violence, especially in the north, to undermine the credibility of the elections. Whatever measures the de facto government chooses to put them in check ought to be commended by every right thinking Nigerian, except their irredeemably deluded followers who unfortunately are an insignificant minority.

Seawhy:
Nigeria constitution is clear on elections.
Armies are trained to protect the territorial integrity of this country
and not for election. PDP had their way in EKITI because Army was involved.
Then why must a right thinking man, asking for free and fair election think of army as an option.
Their training, approach is never civil and that is why I commend the court for this action.
Whoever wins, let him win, but must be free and fair.

Mr constitution lecturer, when you are done with your lectures, you go and sleep because soldiers have already been deployed for the elections. If those murderers that massacred people in the post election violence of 2011 as much as try to gather, they will be decisively crushed. Never again will GEJ allow APC to use non provision of security for lives and property to ridicule him. This time around,he will effectively fulfil his duties as the chief security officer of the entire country, no kangaroo court can stop him from performing this important duty. Law abiding Nigerians deserve to be safe before, during and after the elections.
