If GMB poster can be displayed in Bayelsa without attacks or any intimidation, it tells me GEJ is the future of this country. A country where we are free to express views with so much freedom that our thoughts are respected.

If the North today is roaring and intimidating leaders who wish to support their party and candidate, then we are back to 1984/85.

If GEJ administration is brought to its kneels by northern turmoil and Southwest Makossa, Pastor Bakare's view on the next point of Nigeria is a possibility.

The drama is still unfolding though and may it be well that ended well.

adrelanine:
[size=30pt]Are you still under the illusion That GEJ will win the 2015presidential election? wake up. !!

GMB 2015 ..
Perhaps this little game will give you an insight of what I'm talking about
HIT LIKE IF YOU ARE IN SUPPORT OF BUHARI
HIT SHARE IF YOU ARE IN SUPPORT OF GEJ[/size]

How many Nigerians are on Nairaland and how many on Social platform?

All the English on social platform will give about 25 percent of the total vote and I am sure not everyone on this platform will vote APC.

My Uncles back in the village don't know any of the platforms and will still vote. A trip to the hinterland of Lagos will shock many of us on this platform and that is why I can't agree more with Koro on his Agenda to also open up a lot of Lagos local govt.

Many of the issues been put on GEJ is purely the responsibility of the state government. They have hijacked the Local government and use their funds as they pplease. They will accuse the FG of Erosion, Provision of Water and others in that category. Who should improve the lives of the citizens of a state if not the State Government while the Federal orchestrate the Nigerian Vision. It is GEJ that will be building Almajiri Schools in this age and time?

All the voice chanting GEJ or GMB till eternity, you better take a clue from Fayose and understand the 'English Speakers' are good to help you mould your policy while the grassroot gives Power (at least for now)

donphilopus:
The only people who fail to see the reality on the ground are the PDPians on Nairaland. You guys keep encouraging yourselves wrongly, or should I say you give yourselves false hope! Jonathan surely knows what would before him, hence the reason for all these. February 14th shall surely be a shocker!

I think PDP guys are beginning to see more than ever that no one own PDP because it is a party for All. The elections will be about Political Survival of Mimiko, Fayose, Jang, Dankwanbo, Ribadu, Sule Lamido, Babangida Aliyu, Shema, Gbenga Daniels and the likes who are close to the grassroot Nigerians who don't have any of the social Media platforms. The social Media is filled with a lot of Propaganda. These grassroots know their fate rests on their Gov and not a President who seats in Abuja because even the policies are right in the central govt and they are heavily taxed with lots of bad governance at their level, they feel it immediately.

Onmason:
In my considered opinion,1.Has the military denied being in possession of Buhari's certificates? 2.why is the military mute over the allegation 3. Can Buhari lie against the military with impunity? 4. Could this be one of PDP's usual desperate and despicable political manoeuvres? 5. Is it possible for Buhari to have risen to the rank of General (acclaimed one of the best, by an independent international entity of no mean repute), without having an O'level certificate? 6. Is it not blatantly CHEAP to dwell on ordinary certificates when we know that paper qualification is DEFINITELY not enough to make a good leader? 7. Does gej's Phd make him a leader to reckon with? 8. Could Sambo have ACTUALY lost his certificates to fire?, when? Where? How? Mind you, in the case of FIRE one cannot make enquiries or maybe you should enter fire and ask it some questions! Nobody can LIE against the Nigerian military with impunity. The fact that they have not responded to the claim or delayed to respond to such a weighty claim should send the biggest slowpoke THINKING. For goodness sake, are some people so unfortunately daft? Chai!

WASC keeps a copy of every Certificate they issue. Both of them (Sambo & Buhari) should approach the Examination body.

Meanwhile, in other news, some Generals Claimed GMB failed all his exams while in Military School and one may want to know the number of passes on his certificate which will open further debates.
Did he pass Maths, English and Maybe Govt or something? Or he got Military school by 'Man know Man' which is the bane of our Military today.

EagleNest:
finally waking up from slumber and clearing your eyes...

Was there International Airport at Enugu before GEJ? How many Igbo pple sleep on the road every Dec before GEJ just because access roads were bad? What is Electricity situation in many Igbo states before this Ggovt? Innosson is now manufacturing big time with patronage from govt and a deal with some African countries to import Innosson vehicles

Let's ask for more and I am sure they are already captured in the President's re-election declaration speeech.

agabusta:
Someone pls tell me why the PDP and their cohorts are trying to use blackmail to gain support? I think they are finally seeing the handwriting on the wall and they are getting desperate!!

After all the abuses and castigation they subjected Buhari to, they discovered that it is not working and now they want to try another method. The level of propanganda they are even playing is pathetic to say the least. This is capable of throwing the country into confusion and chaos.

Imagine such desperation to the extent that their paid online goons are now using Islamic cleric's picture that is readily available on the internet to create social media accounts, and then proceeding to making inciteful comments with those accounts just to get christians worked up and hateful of muslims. Is that not wicked and devilish?

With the level of desperation being displayed, it is getting obvious by the day, that the govt of Jona needs to be shown the door. And with this level of desperation, I wont be surprised if an independent investigation panel indicts GEJ's govt for this Boko Haram wahala.

And imagine this one, a dumb and talkative Minister (who had earlier undergone trial for murder) stating that he has told the IG and DSS to arrest people making certain comments, who does he think he is?? Someone pls enlighten me. Does a Minister have a command over the IG and DSS. The level of impunity in this administration seems to know no bounds. Very sad I must say.

Is a minister empowered by the constitution to act on behalf of the President or not? If he oversees the ministry, he can send a directive becausse he represents the President in that capacity.

Though I do not buy the Interim Govt claim but one can ask why such a thought crossed his mind if not because the Campaign Director of APC and APC chieftain (Sen Bola Tinubu) made an assertion to form a parallel government.

During the Osun state Governor's Inauguration, Tinubu ask Osun indigenes and other Nigerians to get their local guns, Cutlasses and Voodoos ready because it will be fire for fire. You can imagine if PDP by the next day also called on their supporters to get ready and the rest will be history and Chaos.

Now I seee why the President had to do 7 days working visit to China when the signals were clear. If US buys Zero of our oil today and our budget still seats on oil money, then who is our Customer?

For me, the US is throwing all these because we have given the Chinese a good part of our economical activities and the US will be haunted for life.

If they have 'Prophesied' that Naija will crumble by 2015, then all is been done to achieve it but we need to remain resolute in the face of their harrassment by cementing more relations with Russia and China

Avedon:
Let's assume It's UYO stadium isn't it embarrassing for the federal government to claim it as one of It's achievements?

That's how exactly they tried to take credit for the control of Ebola epidemic. And the only thing i can remember the federal government deed was to show how to use some disinfectants on national TV while the Lagos state government was working vigorously to curtail the spread on the virus. Which afterward the federal government try push it down the troth of misinformed Nigerians that they were the brain behind the success.

No government in the world will claim such thing as achievement

I just saw the website and it simply says 'Nigeria Today' and not FG achievements in the last 8 years.

If it is a view of Ibom Stadium, is the stadium in Togo

Haba!!!

NgeneUkwenu:
Balderdash!

Buhari Is Winning The Election In The First Ballot! If you are in doubt, go to the streets!

INEC should spare us their rigging plans with Run-Off, and do the needful!

Which street pls? In ondo State, Ekiti State, Oyo state, Ogun state, Akwa Ibom state, Cross River State, Bayelsa State, Rivers State, Delta State, Anambra State, Enugu State, Ebonyi State, Abia State, Imo State, Adamawa State, Gombe State, Plateau State, Kogi State, Jigawa State, Kebbi State, Kaduna State and some other.
In 2011, the voting was 'Let's get a Notherner' but this time around in the North, it is about 'We are PDP and must show we have the grip'

Even in Lagos, APC will be shocked.

In 2015, the following will be PDP states;
Ekiti
Ondo
Ebonyi
Akwa Ibom
Cross River
Delta
Bayelsa
Ogun
Abia
Imo
Niger
Enugu
Katsina
Zamfara
Nasarawa
LAGOS
Plateau
Kano
Kaduna
Gombe
Adamawa
And many more

PDPwayoo:
If he can not pay September salary, let him pay November and December na. There is no hope for this country.
Oh i forget, this is the same state that 7 is greater than 19.

He has paid up till December and offsetting arrears of over 6 months owed Pensioners. The caption was to sow the seed of discord as usual.

Ekiti State workers have collected up till December while September will be sorted out subbsequently. If Ekiti were to pay her debts without other expenses, it will take us over 20 Months and anyone will think Fayemi should be spared in this?

Eziachi:
Seconds later you will claim how he will win by landslide among the same Yoruba that hate him, does that make sense? You didn't even say: some Yoruba.

Which Yoruba hate him pls? I am currently on ground in Ekiti and I can tell you that Buhari/APC is on its way to extinction.

In ondo state? In Oyo State? In Ogun State where the three serving Senators are working against APC already. With emergence of Agbaje in Lagos, it is not sure for APC.

NgeneUkwenu:
Idiotic Campaign! When last did you see Cameron Campaigning in Nigeria? How low can this useless man go?

Buhari/Osinbajo---We Cant Wait

When students in the UK showed support for Buhari in the UK and USA, it was the best thing that happened but Nigerians who have decided to show support for GEJ is totally out of place abi?

When Tinubu gathered some Lagosians to give them rice, it was philantrophy per excellence but if the supporters of GEJ decide to do it, it is an abomination.

Bitterness produces growth in the body ooo. Bad belle releases more toxic substance to human body.

Fairness should be the bedrock of the game

LRNZH:
The Police have said they were not aware of the N21 billion donations to President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team by some businessmen.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said the Police did not know about the donations or the alleged violation of the electoral law by the donors

“We are not aware of the donation and besides, there is no complainant,” Ojukwu said.

http://www.punchng.com/news/we-are-not-aware-of-jonathans-n21bn-donation-police/

PDP is not correct and the complainant issue raised has been settled by many Lawyers who called for prosecution of PDP. In my other moments, I asked if APC adverts on Channels TV for over 2 weeks now costs 10, 000 Naira each.

Pls someone should highlight the 4B feeding here.

olujegs:
mostfavored by gej shut up there, which airport are u talking about, the lagos mma that was so hot when i came back from a uk trip in june, or the frequent blackouted local airport in lagos where touts have a funfilled day and the cab men are not a bit organised....pls instead of voting gej he should be thrown into a pit in the bokoharam's den for calling all dis an achievement. i pity for the future of this country is we all have thinking like this

Mr traveller, are you aware the first rail standard gauge was completed 3 weeks ago by GEJ (Abuja - Kaduna). That is to tell you how far aback we are as a nation. We are not in the same level with UK who built their standard gauge in the 19th Century. We are coming and coming faster than you think.

Sometimes we talk like we have all it takes to build a new york city. The total budget of the fG was like the profit of Microsoft in 2012 alone.

biodunid:
Each person should pls take his state of residence and react line by line so we can uphold or debunk as teh case may be. I live in Lagos and shall do justice to the Lagos claims:

LAGOS STATE:
Lagos – Kano Rail Revival Commissioning of New Air Conditioned Train Coaches and other rail way Services in Lagos: I drive across Jibowu crossing daily and see these A/C trains and can attest that they are always almost empty. I read reports when they were launched that tickets were too expensive particularly when one considers the market (Alagbado - Abule Egba axis) they were meant to serve. As for the Lagos - Kano train - i don't know why anyone would want to spend 36 hours in a train getting from Lagos to Kano. Is that how bad the roads are now?
*SURE – P Projects on Primary Health Centre.: What does this mean? Where and what are they?
*e – Wallet System in the distribution of the agricultural inputs to the Farmers and the Dry Season Farming Projects.: I am a farmer with 50 acres under cultivation. My farm is in teh state teh Agric minister hails from and I must say all my efforts at LG office and state Agric ministry have yielded no fruit concerning his many claims to fame. I will echo teh previous Agric minister who stated that the facts on ground do not support the amount of noise this fellow has been making. If na by awards naija by now would be making more money from agric than from oyel. .
*Construction of Adiuyan water works phase II near Lagos. Since when did Adiyan water works become a federal project? Is that not the same water works LASG just built an IPP for in order to boost pumping up time since PDP has failed to improve power in the last 15 years?
*Third Mainland Bridge phase 2. : Has something been added to the 3MB when we weren't looking abi what phase 2 are they talking about? Could it be the remedial work BRF forced them to do when the bridge was almost falling down that they are referring to? So what should BRF say then about the Eko Bridge whose joints he has just done a spanking remedial work on? Eko bridge remains a federal asset so I hope PDP will remember to count it as a demerit.
*Apapa – Orile – Mile 2 – Cele, Osdi road rehabilitated: Is this why the RCCG GO, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, spent three hours on the road last week when going to the annual Vanguard newspaper event? This was despite the earlier announced deployment of FRSC and LASTMA to the road for the event to ease his passage. I hope PDP can see why certain men of God might have silently switched sides. Bad enough that you are non performers but totally inexcusable when you tell such lies when the whole world can see the contrary.
*The Federal Government under writes a ₦40B loan for infrastructural and educational development in Lagos (2014): The FGN necessarily has to sign off on every foreign loan any state takes as required by law and this is done for all state loans so not sure how this counts as an achievement. Is the FGN going to pay back the loan or did they conceive the project?
*Rehabilitation of the Muritala Muhammed International Airport Lagos: That must explain why this airport was rated as one of the worst in AFRICA just last week.
*Lagos – Sagamu road rehabilitated: My wife works on this road and I have been on it myself a few times this year. May God forgive PDP for such painful lies because we all know how many Nigerian lives continue to be needlessly lost on this and other ill maintained roads daily.
*Installation of 1000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras to boost security of lives and property: Not a single one of these CCTVs works. Most are even now vandalised since they were never energised. The painful part is that BRF had his own plan to put in place comprehensive CCTV coverage for Lagos but the PDP thieves insisted on making Lagos part of the scam they planned. Even the Police HQ qas bombed and till tomorrow we have no CCTV image. Ditto for all teh Abuja bombings despite the billions sunk into this project.
*Ikorodu – odogunyan – Shagamu 132KV double circuit transmission line: High tension cable too be presidential accomplishment? So many more minutes of power do we get as a result or will the cable transmit power not generated? Maybe na line for drying our clothes snince our washer / driers don't work without power.
*2 x 60 MVA, 132/33KV Substation at Odogunyan and Ayobo with 132KV double – circuit transmission line Ikeja west – Ayobo.: Pls see above.
*Omotosho – Epe – Aja 330KV double – circuit transmission Line, Omotosho – Erukan – Ogijo 330KV double Circuit transmission line: Pls see above.
*Provision of additional 2 x 150MVA, 330 / 132KV Transformer capacity at Olorunsogo transmission station.: Pls see above.
*Federal Government College Laboratory refurbished in Ijanikin – Lagos.: Can anyone imagine Obama or even BRF showcasing the refurbishment of a high school? Here we have GEJ shouting from the roof top that he has refurbished a high school lab! Even that will turn oput lies as I can bet a visit to the school will reveal nothing achieved beyond party 'stalwarts' enriched.
*Rehabilitation of the National Theatre Iganmu – lagos.: The theatre was concessioned and nothing special has happened there apart from a nuisance gate being put up at the Ijora end. What manner of rehabilitation are they talking about?
*Establishment of Nigerian Army dog Centre at Ipaja lagos.: This dog centre as far as I know has been there since when GEJ was walking around Otueke shoelessly.
*Establishment of Cancer Treatment Centre at the Federal Medical Centre, Ebutte Metta.: I live at Yaba and lost two very close people to cancer in 2012 and 2014. They were treated at Reddington, LUTH, LASUTH and in India. This is the first I am hearing that of a cancer treatment centre at Ebute Metta yet I have a cousin who works as a doctor at the EM PHC.
*Establishment of Maritime Institute at the University of Lagos: News to me. Is this how Tompolo intends to invade Lagos?

BRF forced GEJ to rehabilatate 3MB? Lol
Why hasn't he forced him to give Lagos 900MW required from the 4000MW the country generates So laughable

onayemi1:
Lies! Lies!! Lies!!!
Lagos.
All the roads mentioned in Lagos are in a deplorable state. From 3MB to a papa oshodi to Lagos sagamu are all not motorable. GEJ should just leave.

You mean 3MB is not Motorable Are you talking of the same road I took to work this morning? What is this desperation for power about and why is everyone sounding like nothing has happened in Naija since 2011. Haba!!

This is how someone said JB and RCC has moved out of site on Lagos Ibadan Express way.

MayorofLagos:
they need to modify their threat to say in SS/SE where they have territorial control. SW is full blast Buhari/Osinbajo. If Ijaw try anything in Yorubaland they better be damn sure they first stockpile enough food to last 3yrs for their sustenance.

We will blow up the oil pipes and turn their land to an inferno of lasting hell.

shyyte, of all people Ijaw threatening war......since when? Madafvckrs!

Please which SW are you talking about? Talk for yourself. This is how you guys won election on NL for Fayemi only for him to get 16-0.

In the coming election, hope APC will accept defeat because they have forgotten less than half of Nigeria sees and feeds on Social Media?

For me, I am voting GEJ for two major reasons;

1: Stabilization of the Nationalized banks and subsequent sales of those banks successfully
2: Nigeria's Non Oil has grown to over 30 percent with potential to grow with Agricultural Sector, Data (Internet) , Power reforms and more.

Is it the fact that projects started during this tenure is been completed or the existing projects been completed despite 'the dogs and Baboon will soak with blood.'

laBarca:
Why won't he fight for Jonathan's continuous stay in office when he knows that Buhari's Presidency will port him(Lamido) and all corrupt officials to jail

But GMB will overlook all the athrocities of Tinubu, Saraki, Amaechi and other APC members who had cases to answer. Except you ll say Tinubu was an Abiola before 8 yrs in Alausa or Amaechi was a Folawiyo before rivers state govt.

What exactly do we want to see that is not in the hands of Judiciary? If there is guarantee of Justice. In our courts from today, everyone will fall in line.

What do we see today? Very 'Funny' injunctions and counter injunctions with cases dragging for yrs like nothing else.

BiHung:
And how much did they say he stole?
How many bomb explosions were recorded?
How many insurgencies overpowered his government?

ODE LAWON PiPu Yii sha

Ologbon, was that a trend in the world then? Why don't u rate him with the number phone lines in 1984?

If he was that in control, why did they overthrow him just because Idiagbon left the country?

Adminisher:
You read this and you are not proud of the man.
He expelled Ghanaians who were taking jobs from Nigerians. He stood up to the UK and tried to kidnap Umaru Dikko a thief and most corrupt Nigerian politician then from the UK. He put traditional rukers in their place btw Babangida, Abacha and Good luck used to bribe them for support.
This man is a hero.

Where are the 53 suit cases he allowed because they were for his aide Remember he jailed Fela for bringing USD into Naija at this same time.

joseph1832:
Of course I almost agree with OBJ. GEJ is the personification of the word 'weak', a classic 'woman wrapper'. Seeing how from 2012 till date his wife has been meddling in affairs that concerns her not and he GEJ can not even caution her as testament to OBJ's assertions.

Even Okonjo Iweala comes to mind when she openly said "if GEJ goes back on subsidy she'll resign" I mean how can she threaten the president like that? Well seeing as Tompolo and Asari has been doing that all along I see no reason why she can't, after all "she has the president by the balls".

IBB must be VERY weak because Maryam did pass this one.

Obj sef must be weak cos Stella at some point was the main Madam and things will fly. The man is just talking from every opening in his body

knightsTempler:
I posted this earlier in similar thread open earlier.


France is one of the imperialist regimes destabilizing Sub Saharan Africa. France is using Chad and Niger, which are franca-phone African countries(colonized by France) to militarily wrest the "oil rich chad-basin region" owned by Nigeria , but claimed by Chad. It is in Frances' best national interest that the oil region goes to either Chad or Niger. Hence, about 50% percent of Boko Haram Islamic guerillas are using Chad and Niger militia mercenaries to fight Nigeria, and both countries with nodding of France are save-havens for the Boko Haramites. The weapons being presently claimed by France is in fact meant for Boko Haram jihadists based in Chad, which is where Boko Haram has its arms depot; and all Nigerians know that the sophisticated weapons being used by the guerillas are being supplied to them by the France, Britain, Russia, and United States business men arms traders. Also, the Arabs whose masonic objective is to Islamize Nigeria by next 30 yrs is funding the Boko Haram. Ask yourself a question; Russia is presently under economic sanction by European and American governments, so how come is Russia supplying arms to France? That's a complete nonsensical lie , and shame on President Jonathan if he should let go the plane. In fact he should declare both France and Russia , public enemy number one of Nigeria. All Russia and France's economic interests should be re-evaluated and be determined if need be. Those countries are evil and dangerous to Nigeria corporate existence. Period

Pls review the Russia and France relationship again. They were never enemies but Allies. Just do a google of this fact to understand that. Diplomacy in International community is a different ball game and it is played in a manner beyond reasoning most times.

Everything in APC's books is all about POLITICS and they say GEJ is desperate. Birthday to thank God for 60 yrs of existence. Let's leave the obvious and tell us how you intend to achieve all the rhetorics

MizMyColi:
I don't believe this story.
Try harder please

The news came from Channels TV, you can request they give u details. Assumption they say is.....

emestephen595:
Which of the obvious corrupt officials in Jonathan's camp has he indict? Even the one that had no excuse(Farouk)

Obasanjo tried sef. The one's they couldn't cover were slammed(Tafa, Alamesiagha, e.t.c)

He should sit as the judge, C-in-C and in what capacities will you like him to act? Let Judiciary help our nation.

The Tambuwal case has been in the courts but they won't deal fast until the country is almost in ashes. Interprete Constitution, na trouble, accelerate hearing on fraud cases, no way but everyone turns to the President. Will he order the judiciary? He dare not, Or else, he will be roasted for interference.

Let's look at the message and leave the messenger who had all the opportunity to lay the foundation for new Nigeria but allowed selfish interest to override National interest.

Because he hated Tinubu's face, he refused to release Lagos allocations even when the Supreme court ruled. This is the height of Impunity.

He wiped out two communities without investigation/reviews to apprehend the culprit. How is he better than BH who kills and maim to fulfill their desires.

He instructed the abduction of two governors (Ekiti and Anambra) and simply looked away like nothing happened.

He faced Niger Delta Militants and could not stop their Menace for 8 years. If those guys have operated like BH, what is the guarantee he will stamp them out in few months like he seems to be demanding from GEJ today?

A sitting Attorney General was killed and he was clueless on what to do.

He Surpressed all agitations in the country. When GEJ signed FOI and guaranted freedom of speech and expression in Nigeria, everyone felt real democracy of 'I have a say'

Nigeria's budget in OBJ days was funded almost 95 percent from Oil sector but that has reduced by over 15 percent in the last four years. The rate at which we create wealth has increased despite insecurity.

Time and space will fail to do some comparison but the question is that we have a new power (freedom to express our views) and we better use it to our advantage by giving suggestions to government rather than bringing it all down.

No matter the President, a populace with our attitude might not get the best out of our political space.

In my opinion, Nigeria is 'Work in Progress' and we will overcome all the existing challenge if we embrace and fight for our country together.

I wish to see an opposition that talks of what they wish to do rather than saying the obvious. What are they bringing to the table in terms of Economy, Jobs, Security, Governance and the rest rather than sweeping statements of;
We will improve governance. How?
We will stamp out corruption. How?
We will tackle insecurity. How?

We should let them into Aso rock first? Hmmmmmmmm
