This represents everything wrong with Nigeria... The wife of the President should seldom speak not to talk of being involved in active politicking... It's shambolic to say the least...

it's hardly news to me...Still setting up committee for declaration... Funny old clown

Complexalfa:
Shut up! This cronical b@stard, who do you think you are. Illiterate maggot!!!

For a lady, you're a no no...

pendy79:
This country never seizes to amaze me. Here we are with some states finding it hard to pay civil servants salaries, teachers salaries and meet financial /contractual obligations because the FG has unilaterally decided to cut down statutory remittances to all States of the federation.

Anyone who doesn't understand the rationale behind this Greek gift need enlightenment on political exigencies. The FG realizing the daunting tasks the Re-election of Self-destroying GEJ is gonna be has decided to use a Greek gift to the Main electoral foot soldiers to help it in its plot of rigging the 2015 election knowing the role Youth Corpers will play.

This has nothing to do with any humanitarian gesture but a clear cut design to get the main foot soldiers used by INEC to be stylishly compromised by a desperate and gullible administration who still think Nigerians will allow a rigging of next year's poll. Let it be sounded from the north pole to the south pole that the way Osun electorates stood their grounds to ensure their votes count, all patriotic Nigerians will do same across the geographic sphere of this country.

The voodoo electoral figure produced in 2011 for PDP in the South south and south east with the aid of corpers who provided unused ballot papers to PDP agents to thump print as many times as possible will not and can never happen in 2015.

We are vigilant and we are watching.

At first sight, a Greek gift looks enticing but when you take a closer look, it's everything you never wished...For your foresight and your ability to go pound for pound with all the Tanoids here, I choose to call you Pendy Mayweather...lol

He might just be a free man tomorrow, let him just do the needful...Yeye dey smell.

Lovely post bro

Makes for a good laugh...

Obiagelli:
Election is close, all these "i am neutral" people will start to showing their true colours.

Truth of the matter is nobody is neutral... You either support mediocrity or own up to the change that is imminent...

Obinoscopy:
It's obvious these guys are not after our wellbeing. They are just hell bent on taking over power. Every statement of theirs has to do with ousting the present government. They should be careful lest Nigerians would sense their desperation. I detest desperate politicians.

Thus far, I would say Atiku has been the most matured opposition politician I've observed. His twitter statement concerning the ceasefire deal/chibok girls negotiation is very matured. I hope his party alongside his fellow aspirants would tow his line

Sounding like a novice here...

Sunofgod:
I think your the one who needs to learn how to construct a sentence.

*you're

You call our Carnival a "ritual sacrifice"
You're caught up in the past, please it's 2014 , forge ahead...
The Carnival serves a means of income to the state, what exactly is the gain of all this churches in terms of government?
Pay tax, churches won't pay as they'll always claim it's not a profit oriented body...

Another laughable thread, you lots claim that an APC ticket fielding Buhari is dead on arrival, so why all the noise and haste about a "serial loser" as you Jonathanians choose to call him?
Or should we interpret your respective actions (Creating and duplicating threads) as a sign of "Fear" for what is to come?

Sunofgod:
Buhari is a bankrupt . . . .

Why not learn how to make a simple sentence before jumping on the bandwagon?

Rexxie:
bury ur empty head in shame..everybody knows,even dogs n goats do too,that abacha was a thief n freeing mohmd abachas arsse was a political thingy..so save ur foul breathe

Bounce along tout

Obiagelli:
And gej dropped all corruption charges against Mohammed abacha.

Hehehe Let him keep shooting himself...

Gbawe:
Bro, I actually feel embarrassed for the clannish fans of GEJ and how they miss what is incredibly obvious. . I must say I am shocked by the spectacular lack of intelligence TANdroids and Jonathanians are displaying. Is it not obvious to them what they are doing in the desperation to blacken Buhari? You mumuish olodos do not even know your own Country and people !!!

What got GEJ into Aso Rock in 2011 if not the "boy with no shoes" ruse Nigerians bought hook, line and sinker in their millions? Many Nigerians voted for GEJ because they connected with the idea he is a modest and ordinary man, just like them, who would be able to identify with and fight for the average Nigeria.

Now you cretins are actually sabotaging your corrupt messiah (GEJ) and giving GMB free "boy with no shoes" publicity through your obsession with attacking him over taking a loan to pay for his nomination form. Nigerians, even better than the "boy with no shoes" ruse, will simply see GMB as "man with no money". They know that Buhari, LIke OBJ, IBB Abacha, Danjuma, Atiku and GEJ, was in a position to steal massively plus build hilltop mansion and bank billions of dollars. Yet Buhari had to struggle to pay an amount that local government chairmen in Nigeria give their mistresses to go shopping in London. Now, desperate olodo Jonathanians, tell me how this will resonate with Nigerians? TANmumu jokers, all this garbage you are writing is for the bitter, educated Jonathanains like yourself. The average Nigerians on the ground will love that Buhari struggled to pay, for his form, an amount virtually all your leaders carry in the glove box of their cars to settle the praise singers they come across daily.

Tanoids have traded their sense of reasoning...

Obiagelli:
Na people wey write theory self go do practical.

lol perfect way to end a debate before it begins...

Cway86:
People like dangote take loan to improve their business and gain more income not to do politics thinking that when they win they will refund the money tro corruptions.

Guy think we'll and stop behaving like a real Mallam. People take loan for good purpose not to defraud the others.

Are you privy to the discourse between Buhari and the bank manager? How come you know the modalities for the repayment of the loan...

barcanista:
descartes have never been neutral on this forum

Oh! I see...

Descartes:
But why do you go about labelling him as corrupt when he's seen with these corrupts/looters? Am just following simple logic not that i hate or love either GEJ or Buhari.

Who is GEJ
Who is Buhari?
Certain positions limits your way of life...
Buhari hangs out with Tinubu (not convicted by any court if competent jurisdiction)
GEJ hangs out with Alarms (you know who he is)
Spot the difference?

Just to point out, the name Buhari is an asset...That name to some extent can open doors of opportunities so don't ask questions like "how's he gonna repay"
Human beings can never be pleased...

brownlord:
Meaning buhari invested, 27 million and expecting a return when he becoms president? I'm sure the loan is with interest

Please can you go back and read Buhari's statement again?

Descartes:
So you mean that GEJ and SAS "are not necessarily friends". You see ...

Of course yes...

muami:
1. He is a Bad Manager of Resources
The first thing that Buhari’s decision to take a loan tells us is that he is a VERY BAD manager of resources. Good managers of resources raise a significant portion of the monies to fund their campaigns from the human resources that they have. In the US, for example, Barrack Obama raised millions of dollars through small donations from his supporters. Here in Nigeria, Ayo Fayose maximised the benefits of his cult-like fellowship in Ekiti by selling campaign materials such as caps and T-Shirts to raise part of the money for his campaign.

Buhari has a cult-like follower-ship in the North. Many of these persons, though poor, wouldn't mind contributing something no matter how little to his cause. If 50% of his followers in the North contribute just N100 each, Buhari could have easily raised 27 million to buy the form without having to pay back. However, because he does not know how to manage the resources that he has, he took the easy option out and took a loan! How can we trust him to manage our resources effectively? How can he manage our huge human and capital resources when he cannot even properly manage his campaign?

2. He is Not Creative nor Productive
The decision to collect a loan to buy the nomination form also confirms Buhari as a man who is uncreative, unproductive and lacking in ideas on how to create wealth. Buhari was former governor, head of state, Petroleum minister and PTF administrator. Yet with all these experiences, at 70, there is no one single business venture or productive organisation that he established to create wealth for himself and family and jobs for other people. Since leaving office, what has Buhari been doing with his time? Where are the businesses he has established? Where are the ideas that he created? Where are the fruits of his brains?

Former presidents who have anything upstairs use what they have upstairs to provide solutions to problems and create wealth for themselves. OBJ is still involved in many national and international assignments using his record as a head of state who handed over power to civilians. Bill Clinton makes a lot of money from appearing for events and writing. Tony Blair is involved in many productive activities helping the world and generating legitimate wealth for himself. Ribadu used his anti-corruption toga to gain an international assignment the moment he was pushed out of EFCC.

Buhari has an anti-corruption toga. There is so much corruption in the world, and many people are using their creative ability to form organisations or do something to fight corruption. Organisations like Transparency International were set up by people to do something about corruption and in the process they are also creating wealth or themselves. Why has Buhari not leveraged on this ‘asset’ to help Nigeria and the world and in the process earn a living? What idea has Buhari proposed or generated to fight corruption apart from complain on pages newspapers? Why is Buhari still ‘poor’ at 70 if he has anything upstairs? It is only a lazy and uncreative man that will believe that only corrupt people can be rich. That is absolutely not the case. Is Linda Ikeji corrupt? Is Seun corrupt? Are the founders of Jumia corrupt? Point is: Buhari is poor at 70 because he lacks the creative ability to generate wealth and to utilize what he has to create a legitimate livelihood.

3. He is not a Strategic Planner
Buhari contested presidential elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011. He therefore knows that running for presidential elections is a very expensive business. Furthermore, many of Buhari’s supporters argued after the previous elections that Buhari would have gotten more votes if he had the funds to campaign more effectively. Based on the previous experience, If Buhari is a strategic thinker, he should have had a strategic plan in place to raise money for this campaign including money to buy the nomination form!

The fact that he has no money to do so shows that he doesn't learn from his past and doesn't plan for the future. Buhari expressed his intention to run for president about 3 years ago. At the same time, the APC announced the nomination fee almost a month ago. Buhari therefore had enough time to put a strategic plan in place to raise money to buy the form. However, Buhari waited until the day arrived before scrambling to collect a loan to buy the form! What kind of a man does things like that and wants to become president?

I know of a certain widow who wanted her son to become a lawyer. While he was still in primary school, she opened an account for that purpose and was putting some money in the account from the little money she made from buying and selling. When her son gained admission to the university, she handed over the account to him which by now contained enough money to last him at least for the first two years. By the end of the first two years, she had save enough to last him or another year, and continued like that until he eventually became a lawyer. Yet we have a man who wants to be president but cannot even device a strategy to raise money for his campaign. I’d rather entrust Nigeria into the hands of this widow that Buhari!

Hope you realize people like Dangote still take loans? Don't fool yourself...
Modified: When I said Dangote take loans, I said it in reference to the whole idea of this thread...Taking loans doesn't in anyway signify you're broke or wasteful...

Descartes:
Are you among the image laudering crew The last time I checked, "saint" Buhari still dines with the likes of Tinubu, Akande, Saraki, Atiku etal whom are known to be corrupt. Now a friend to a thief isn't he a thief

If you wanna be neutral stay neutral and stop hiding behind neutrality to attack Buhari...fyi, Members of same political party are not necessarily friends...

Descartes:
Image Laundery of the highest order. Has it changed the fact that he is sympathetic to Haramites?

Funny thing is you go on and on about being neutral to the course...Pathetic Jonathanian

Harmthe:
andre schurle indeed!

you dey craze o! lmao

tit:
Barcanista,
you conveniently analyzed 2007 twice and forgot all about 2011.
Well, i shall do the honor.
Buhari tried your gambit: A Yoruba vice-presidential candidate and he failed woefully in the SW.
Gbadamasi Buhari chose Tunde Bakare as his running mate to rapturous applause from the likes of you.
Even the litte known Ribadu even got some votes than Buhari in the SW.
What does this tell us?
That Buhari is very unpopular outside his core constituency.

Even the NURTW and market women of the SW solidly reject having a murderer (the extra-judical execution of a bartholomew Owoh and co),
a thief (millions missing from NNPC in 1978
and a liar (Abacha did not steal)
as president!
And so shall it be in 2015!

Guess who ripped off Abacha's son of all the charges he was up against... If Abacha himself was alive today, he'd be GEJ's right hand man

bonasco20:
Why are some Nigerians (like u) so narrow minded, is it not obvious dat the sect has realized that they are on the losing side now? they are been hunted and killed in numbers every day, their only option now is to negotiate.. we should be thankful to the government for their effort and not relate incommensurable, distinct and baseless rants aimed at demeaning the government's effort. my friend , what do did topic has to do with the 2015 elections...(perhaps u wrote obliviously bearing in mind that u understand politiccs )? 4 ur mind!!! I still rep naija #irepnaija@uk

You're rather myopic in your view...

In 2011, Buhari didn't get the vote he required from the SW not because he's not loved but because he didn't align with the powers that be (Tinubu) fast forward to 2015 and you'll see Tinubu and Buhari in the same fold...
For those of you against a Muslim/Muslim ticket, is it performers or religious sentiments that governs your stance? I honestly think you guys dread Fashola for VP so y'all go on and on about the religion crap...
Question is; If GMB picks a xtian as his running, will it lead to corresponding increase in vote? I think no...

Ngwakwe:
This is what Gen Buhari would have achieved for his beloved country had he accepted to mediate on Bokoharam behalf in Saudi Arabia when they nominated him.

We have lost unaccountable innocent Nigerians and properties worth billions of dollars including the defence budget wasted in the fight against these monsters, only for the selfish Buhari to borrow money to contest for president of a country he refused to sacrifice a little for its citizens.

Say no to Buhari, he is too selfish.

You're irredeemably stupid... You just had to drag buhari's name into this? I thought GEJ said it's a faceless sect?
