JONATHAN HHAS BEEN ABLE TO LOOT ANDD ALLOW SOME IDIOTS FRROM THE SOUTH TO LOOT.


PLEASE TELL ME THINGS THAT JONATHAN HAS DONE IN HIS 4 YEARS?

abdulwastecx:
Buhari has no reason to fail his supporters.
We are talking about a 72 years old man that has been proven in all his life endeavours to be disciplined and incorruptible, it is a plus for us that he is popular among the northern voters who are known to have religious/ethnic sentiment

nicklaus40:
. Taaar,remove the 'am not a tribalist' part. U ARE A TRIBALIST. Vote for whoever u think is the best candidate no matter there region he/she is from

aguiyi:
Hehehehehejeheh. Them been don think say them don get the last laugh

in that same 1961 he wrote hausa language and earned credit in it,a subject that was introduced into the curriculum in 1974 when the 6-3-3-4 educational system commenced.

shehu musa yaradua joined the army in 1959 but wrote wasc with buhari in 1961, did he also join the army with a recommendation letter?

skelefish:
Disadvantage of being a gentleman, your subordinate will constantly take u for granted. Everybody takes jonah for granted, his wife,ministers,governors,drivers,jst name it. Amaechi go bold try this with obasanjo.*hiss*

mikeoh:

kepal99:
* I have never seen any school built in his name.
* I have never seen any borehole constructed by him.
* There is no record of any scholarship
awarded by him or for him nor through him.
* I have never seen him use his popularity to canvass
for any charitable work nor any humanitarian
effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge
where other
purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign
for immunization.
* No single text book has been donated to any school
either by him, for him or through him. Little wonder
he sentenced a seasoned professor to 100 yrs
imprisonment- shame.
* Asides from doing nothing, he has not improved
himself
since his exit from office.
* No book written, no memoirs, no lectures,
nothing. Little wonder he sentenced a seasoned
professor to 100 yrs imprisonment- shame.
* The only thing of note he can point to are his
numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station.
* He never champion for a university in his state nor
has he ever been involved in any kind of programme
to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura.
* His entire existence has not lead to any meaningful
development in Daura, yet they say he can change
Nigeria.
Doesn't charity begin at home again?
* No wonder he was referred to as being
''perpetually unelectable''.
* He is not a patron to any organization, group or
association.
* No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited
him for their lecture, convention or gala night.
* The only time any known form, body or human
assemblage ever chose him to do
anything for them was when the Boko Haram
terrorist sect nominated him as their spoke person in
the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt. He recently
joined twitter because of elections.
At 72 what does he have to offer?
I need change, we all need change but Gen Buhari
isn't the answer!
If Buhari presidential election, na big slap on Naija
Youths. Pls Share

babestella:
The comments I read sometimes online goes a long way to show why our youths are totally unemployable and that is why most are jobless even after graduating from a higher institution. Their inability to reason and see things objectively and forensically is a big menace that needs spiritual intervention to help the youths. I am indeed baffled.
