Ibhoe man can be used for anything as long as money is involved - not a surprise at all. We have seen Nseribe's ABN and 1m man match for Abacha by one Kanu/Kalu.

chukwudi44: The SS/SE votes do not matter? We heard that during the last elections and we all know how it all turned out? You really think the votes of millions of igbos scattered round the country do not matter? Even in lagos too?

But we already know where ss/se votes are going. So, why should we bother?

PointB: It's quite a shame that some folks also bury their heads in the sand on the grave import of a ticket which does not underscore the religious sensibility of Nigeria. Some ignorant muse point rather casually to the 1993 election tightly controlled by the military and annulled for some unknown reasons as pointer to religious passivity in Nigeria politics.
I laugh hahahaha

Let me ask those folks, was Sharia ever elevated to state penal code then as it is now in some Northern state? Were people harassed for selling/buying alcohol prior to 1993 elections? Did any stateman in the mould of Buhari asked muslims to vote muslim prior to 1993 election? Was there boko haram, and were churches bombed indiscriminately and christians slaughtered at every opportunity run up to the election? Were dogs and baboons threatened by a fanatical ex-leader of muslim religion?

Nigeria has changed and will keeping evolving. We are in the era of ethnic and religious awareness.

It is in keeping up with religious awareness that I surmise that Muslim/Muslim ticket cannot guarantee that strict islamic law will not be elevated at national level, nor checked at the state; and it cannot guarantee the ways of life of Christians, atheists, and animists. A religiously balanced ticket cannot guarantee same either, but it does offer great hope. And hope is a huge factor in every political permutation. Nigeria will abhor a MUSLIM/MUSLIM ticket in 2015, any party that fails this simple test, is wasting it's time, including the PDP!

Ok - your point is noted mr xtian.

Omexonomy: Nonesense talk. He should be allow to run his mouth any how. Thier is a party that had being using APC before and he want INEC to delist the party and thier logo so that thier own party and logo will be registered. This people love to cause riot that will not affect thier family in any way.

You are a m.oron - do you think this is a kingdom of animals?

psalmizt: Permit me to enlighten you sir.... When they say christians should be actively involved in politics, we don't refer to our pastors... Kai, if the pastors go into politics, their objectivity as regards the pure undiluted word of God will be jeopardized. As for the man in question, pastor Tunde Bakare, I think he shouldn't have gotten directly involved. To me he is our generation's Elisha who King Ahab detests... Asking Tunde Bakare to become president or vice is like asking prophet Isiaih to contest for kingship (this is purely illustrative) during the evil 52 year reign of King mannaseh... Get the point? We need the prophets to tell us we are right in doing this and wrong in doing that and not take up such positions themselves...

Enough of the past, now the present.... ppl should stop brandishing the name Buhari and let us have a credible and intellectual discourse.. Aside the story of fighting corruption in his Idiagbon time and the PTDF story and him not having more than 1 house, WHAT CAN THE GENERAL POINT AT AS A LEGACY OR ACHIEVEMENT. Jeez, let's discuss facts and not fiction

This is democracy, everybody is entitled to his opinion - why not brandish your own choice even if is a senseless choice?

kaeto: The yorubers disappoint me a great deal. What were you guys thinking, that the north will field or even allow a s/west flag bearer after what your kinsman did to them? It was the s/west through obj that made the north an object of ridicule in the political equation of the country today. The north still bears and nurses that grudge against the yorubers, for not only anointing into office, an ailing Yar'adua,but also supporting and electing GEJ into office in their stead. If you ever think as a yoruber, that the north will let you field fashola in APC you better wake up from that dream, that's not how the born-to-rule's operate, they'll never concede it to the west, they are'nt some patient dogs, just watch out.

The Yorubas are visionaries and we know what we are dooing - when we are done you will see what we are seeing that short sighted people can't see. Sincerely Nigeria is what it is today courtesy of Yorubas. We have democracy today courtesy of Yorubas - we led the fight when the Igbos where busy struggling to align with the juntas in power. If am wrong, name one yaminrin that was part of the struggle to chase the military away. We did it for all to enjoy and for igbos to come now asking to be given presidential ticket.

Anyway, you will get it but not now.

ALMUSTAQIM: IN MY HONEST OPINION, FOR APC TO EMERGE WINNER COME 2015;

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ; MUHAMMADU BUHARI ----- NORTH WEST

VICE PRESIDENT ; ROCHAS OKOROCHA ----- SOUTH EAST

SENATE PRESIDENT ; TUNDE FASHOLA ----- SOUTH WEST

SPEAKER, H.of REPS ; ? ----- NORTH CENTRAL

GOD BLESS NIGERIA, GOD BLESS APC, GOD BLESS U ALL.

And how many votes can Rochas deliver? Do you think this election is about appeasing a disgruntled tribe? We know Igbo will not vote for the right ticket even if you nominate an igbo man as president, so why should they be given VP slot?

bleufaucon: It's quite obvious in this site that. Ibibio's,efiks and igbos aint regarded. It is always wait for some years and prepare,while south west and north are the one's fit at all times to rule without preparation..well Fashola will never rule nigeria for he's no pan-africanist but a western puppet. Dead country.

Which one is Ibiobio?

Hackin: may amadioha strike dat ur epileptic fingers! who re u to determine for igbo?

Truth is bitter but that is only thing that can set you free.

[quote author=Omo_Tier1]Wining ticket : Buhari and Oshiomhole, Fashola for Senate President. Rochester needs to remain in IMO State for another 6years minimum and turn IMO State into the pride of South East before He can take shot at the Presidency.

Right now we need a team that can crush corruption, restore security and pursue aggressive development. I really do not care where the individuals are from but never again should Nigeria end up with a mediocre as a president!

If Buhari decides not the run, then Oshiomhole would be my first choice for the Presidency and I would Fashola for me should be Senate President. It is so sad for the first time for so long as I can remember, I can't think of any South Easterner who really possess the accuse to be a Vice President nor President. Look at Ayim, even as the SFG, there is nothing one can speak well of about his reign.

ENOUGH OF EMERGENCY PRESIDENT.... NIGERIA NEEDS A PRESIDENT OF NECESSITY....[/quote]I agree completely...

jammyng: you're definitely a Muslim because your post is biased. Hope you change so Nigeria can be better.

Of course I am a muslim and I have watched with interest the noise about a xtian leader coming mostly from our sentimentalists/tribalists SE brothers/sisters.

At a time when our concern should be to have the right person governing the country irrespective of religious affiliation. Is this not the same country that voted for MKO Abiola and Kingigbe both of who were muslims? What has changed? We now have more fanatical xtians? In Osun state during the evil regim of Oyinlola, both the governor and his deputy are xtians? Does it mean the muslims who are in majority in Osun state were blind?

In Ekiti state today, both governor and deputy are xtians. I have not seen any xtian talking about balance political positions - or are there no muslims in Ekiti state?

Guys, lets begin to use our brain and focus on things that will bring positive change to our country and stop religious bigotry.

samtheman: [b][/b][color=#990000][/color][size=8pt][/size]my opinion, no bi say fight! I think APC should Shop and beg T.Y Danjuma to be there presidential candidate a christian 4rom the north while Fashola should vice him shikenan!

So you dont care what the person represents, all you want is a xtian from the mostly muslim north. Reverse your role and see yourself as a northerner and a muslim, how will you react to this your demented proposition above? What does Danjuma represent? Status quo or a change?

MrBible: But Nigerian Church businesses are competing globally, you'll find them in every country on this planet very soon they will be on the Moon, Mars and other planets, this shows we've got talents too and it is about time we use these skills applied in making these Nigerian Church businesses to compete globally, in the field of software development, so that our software can compete globally too.

Software development business is not about lying and deceiving people. It is not about dogmatic belief and lazily hoping for God to come and help you with everything.

Software development and technology generally is about trusting in yourself and working towards achieving the goals you have set out for yourself.

Hence, the two dont go together and are mutually exclusive. Those churches as we do it here are the reason we are this backward because people dont bother to exercise their brains again - they want God to do everthing for them.

You see, Nigerian government is not yet ready to join other global players in IT. Ordinary cybercafe applications, we can't boast of 5 major players in a country of 170 million human beings and we keep crying unemployment.

It is really disheartening that even after years of turning out graduates from schools in IT related courses, we dont still have a banking application that can compete internationally. Government is busy looting the country instead of investing in the people and providing infrastructure required for this vital sector. The few pioneering opportunists/business owners in the IT industry wont help the situation - they are too shortsighted and only interested in shorterm personal benefits.

Today we have chalatans parading themselves as IT professionals and the whole industry has been turned into mere buying and selling of technologies from developed countries.

It is really a pity and I dont see hope in sight except we have leaders who could see the potentials in this industry and ready to develop it. Today we have a leader who would set aside N3B to develop Nolywood. What stops us from setting aside fund to develop software development industry and providing the required infrastructure? This is an industry that can produce millions of jobs for Nigerians within and out of the country. It can also become a major source of foreign earning for country.

Indian has got to this level and we have China compteting with even the US and the rest of the west in this area. When are we going to start?

- a concerned professional

What is all these shout about xtian this xtian that? Why are xtians this bigoted and always concerned about the religion of the leader? If the muslims also come out to insist on a muslim leader, what will happen? The Boko Haram situation we are now presently facing in the north.

Xtians should focus more on their religion rather than politics here and there.

Beaf: I admire that.
My comment came from fears of what someone who should know said; that they bonded themselves in Meccah or Dubai. It is an unproven story, so I don't push it.

But I thought Beaf is dead... Can someone comfirm this is Beaf?

[quote author=Chyz*]Hopefully the Igbo person that will be elected lagos state gov in 2015 will be Christian. Theres a good chance he/she will be.[/quote]Igbo gove in Lagos? Keep dreaming. You people didnt even know the extent of hatred we have for any flat head creature.

It will only happen in your dream, not in Lagos.

[quote author=X-factoria]Well, it may seem like this article is kind of intended to play the religious card but Tinubu, the grandmaster of ACN himself started it all.

Sometime in 2005, Tinubu was quoted by one gossip newspaper to have vowed that a non-muslim can never succeed him as Governor of Lagos State. It was a muslim gathering in Lagos Island and all the people that mattered in Lagos who were muslims were there and they applauded him. In 2006, a leading candidate of the PDP, a christian, was murdered in his house in Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi in mysterious circumstances that has not been unravelled yet. In 2007, all road was cleared for Fashola, a muslim, to be crowned as Lagos Governor.

There is indeed a conspiracy theory that seems credible and Tinubu is not the only one in the middle of it. The Oba of Lagos and other notable Lagos indigenes are also part of the conspiracy and it is not an accident that most of them are muslims.

I follow things in the grassroot so well to know that things like this don't just happen by accidents. They are planned![/quote]Shut up your stinging mouth. Why would he say that when his wife is xtian?

Stupid idiot...

PointB: The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, should start now thinking of a Christian successor to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, a Muslim, by religion, for 2015. Otherwise Christians should spend the next three and a half years, before the April 2015 elections, searching for another political party in which they will no longer be treated as second class members.

They should go ahead and form a new political party if they cant find one - call it Christians Political Party - CPP and see how many votes the fanatics/boko will get in Lagos.

Idiots....

emmasege: I'll address point no. 10 raised by the general, where he said s/east and s/south recorded more than 90% turn out, but other states of the federation recorded only 46%. Is he telling us that the turn out in those northern states where he recorded more than a million votes and close to a million (as the case may be) only recorded 46% turn out. He's once again shown his aversion for the southern Nigeria, and he only needs to intensify his prayers for Nigeria to break up so that he can rule over his sect. But until then, he should forget about entering Aso rock.

We dont need analysis from a dullard - you will never get it right. Thanks imbe.

timowale: I write to call attention of everyone who claim GMB did not proffer any solution to all the negative claims concernig Nigeria.i dare such ones to read through the post once more .u would come out @the end he highlighted ;level of literacy, economic empowerment of the people and so on.....[color=#006600][/color]

They will neither see nor understand - why do you think we have been recording mass failure in nigeria schools?

See xtian faith and its failure...

GEJ, the baby politician planning to go to Maiduguri just because opposition governors went there. What kind of brain does this mann and his advisers have?

Officially, are the governors his mates or direct political rivals? Why can't he ask his knew campaign manager (the governor of Akwibom) to organise PDP governors visit to Maiduguri to counter the APC governors move?

This man is truly a dumb.

tempo1: GUYS,AM 4RM AKWA IBOM I WIL NT SAY WHAT HUHARI IS SAYING IS NT GOOD.THE MAN IS TELLING THD TRUTH,2007 AND 2011 WAS MY FIRST EXPIRENCE OF ELECTION IN NIGERIA.HOW CAN U ANOUNCE ONE MAN ONE VOTE BT AT DA TEL END U WIL SEE ONE MAN 20 VOTES.AGAIN I KNW THE LHND OF WEAPONS MY AKPABIO GVE GUYS DURING THAT ELECTION TIME SAME WITH D SO CALLED LUSIFA WHO IS OUR PRESIDENT.WHAT I KNW IS THAT BUHARI IS BETER THAN MANY OF OUR LEADERS ,BT HE SHLD NT GO FOR 2015.

Shut up man! Just came back from a PDP controlled state where deceipt, lying, etc are the order of the day. Is that not the state of the governor imposed by GEJ on other PDP govs as their chairman? The new campaign manager for GEJ. We are waiting for you all come to 2015 - you will see wennnn...

thelastPope: What will he do? Was he not there before? Hiding behind Idiagbon for 20 months? Kicked out even without one shot fired? What will the coward do? This is democracy, not military rule so what will he do? Why didn't he dare IBB and let IBB expose him? Why did he refuse to appear before the Oputa panel so he wont be exposed? What exactly will he do? Can he account for PTF funds? Nonsense!

Imbe., when are you going to start treading the path of honour so that your children will at least learn to be honourable in life? It wont be good if you die and the only legacy you could pass on to your children is lying, deceipt, bigotry and the genetic brainlessness to worsen the matter.

Chrisbenogor: I am actually shocked at the level of detail he went into total absolute knowledge of the problem.

2015 we are waiting.

You took this out of my mouth... I am impressed and convinced again this man can bring happiness to this country as a leader.

phildon: Did u read d whole speech? If u did, u'll see d solutions he profered. Or it's just d usual bigotry?

What else can blind a man's eyes abd block his brain if not crude bigotry?

Aringarosa: Why do you have to bring bigotry into this? Some of the posters are Igbo and they support Buhari.

Your bigotry is sleeping out, you might want to take your head out of your a.nal orifice.

Your obsession for anything igbo is palpable through my comuter screen.

Pls go get some help.

Then the reasonable few among them should talk to the teaming illiterates in that region. Nigeria is moving forward - we are saying bye bye to religious and ethnic hatred. Unfortunately majority of Igbos are still living in the hate filled past that has brought the country down.

So, begin to talk to your people - that is the only thing that will stop me from fighting for Igbo isolation.

Bigflamie: Buhari to rule this country? that marks the end of this so called Nigeria.
Some people here doesn't know what they are talking about.

You are the one dozing and snoring - too bad man. Wake up man, Nigeria has got to move forward.

Sai Buhari
