DesChyko:I have used some of the best airports around the world and also have used some of the worst too. Now the worst airports in Europe are better than the best in Nigeria like our gateway airport. Our mentality is befuddled with he-dey-try syndrome and if we stay that way and refused to pursue excellence we will continue to run round circles. Do I strike a chord? 5 Likes |

Ikengawo:[b]You guys like straws too much. Focus on reality and personal precedents of the contestants. One, Buhari gave critical roles to his deputy when he was head of state and that made most of you claim the deputy was the one who ran the government. Two, OBJ just of late gave critical roles to Atiku and he did his job diligently. If your master made his own deputy redundant you don't have to rub it in into another pair that have a clear cut vision of how leadership and shared responsibility should be. The constitution does not say it is illegal for the VP to perform some roles. It says their roles are defined by what the president wants him to do. Buhari was asked this question and he said people should look into his antecedents to find the answer. That you just read a very brilliant and promising responses from the VP candidate of a party you loathe should not put you in a panic mode of bringing in irrelevant issues. There's nothing wrong if you accept you are impressed as many people are with the above but will choose to turn logic on it's head. At the end of the day Nigerians are getting wiser and they can see clearly now. Thank you.[/b] 8 Likes 1 Share |

| Politics › Re: Buhari Certificate Saga An Assault On The Military - Lai Mohammed. by philips70(m): 9:36am On Jan 03, 2015 |
Buhari joined the Nigerian Army in 1962, when he attended the Nigerian Military Training College (in 1964 it was renamed the Nigerian Defence Academy, (NDA)) in Kaduna. From 1962-1963, he underwent Officer Cadets training at Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot in England, United Kingdom (Mons OCS was officially closed down in 1972). In January 1963, Buhari was commissioned as second lieutenant, and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria. From November 1963- January 1964, Buhari attended the Platoon Commanders’ Course at the Nigerian Military College, Kaduna. In 1964, he facilitated his military training by attending the Mechanical Transport Officer’s Course at the Army Mechanical Transport School in Borden, United Kingdom. From 1965-1967, Buhari served as Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion. He was appointed Brigade Major, Second Sector, First Infantry Division, April 1967 to July 1967. Buhari was made Brigade Major of the Third Infantry Brigade, July 1967 to October 1968 and Brigade Major/Commandant, Thirty-first Infantry Brigade, 1970-1971. Buhari served as the Assistant Adjutant-General, First Infantry Division Headquarters, 1971-1972. He also attended the Defense Services’ Staff College, Wellington, India, in 1973. From 1974-1975 Buhari was appointed Acting Director, Transport and Supply, Nigerian Army Corps of Supply and Transport Headquarters. He was also made Military Secretary, Army Headquarters,1978-1979, and was a member of the Supreme Military Council, 1978-1979. From 1979 -1980, at the rank of colonel, Buhari attended the US Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, United States of America and gained a Masters Degree in Strategic Studies. Other roles include: General Officer Commanding, 4th Infantry Division, Aug. 1980 – Jan. 1981 General Officer Commanding, 2nd Mechanized Infantry Division, Jan. 1981 – October 1981 General Officer Commanding, 3rd Armed Division Nigerian Army, October 1981 – December 1983. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari Does the law says one must acquire a FSLC or a minimum of FSLC? Am not to judge if he has a FSLC or not but by the law his subsequent academic qualifications makes that one irrelevant. So why the fuss or is this fuss only on social media? |

If you go through Reno's Twitter timeline since Wendell's case broke out till today nothing was written from him about it. Not with all the furore about it and how it went viral. That is typically unlike Reno. Even pastor Fatoyinbo of the Ese's saga attempted to mutter some words before he went AWOL. But like I said earlier he's government man so he does no wrong. |

| Politics › Lies Against Buhari And The Facts by philips70(op): 12:49pm On Jan 01, 2015 |
1. Buhari promised to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan. Facts: In 2010, as reported by various sections of the media, Lawal Keita, a PDP chieftain stated that if a person from the North did not win the 2011 elections, Nigeria will be made ungovernable . Below are links to that effect as reported by the press when that statement was made. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/10/08/group-wants-kaita-tried-for-treason/ In April 2011, Reuben Abati slandered Buhari in The Guardian about same statements of making Nigeria ungovernable. Buhari sued Abati to court in 2011 for damaging his name. President Jonathan begged Buhari on behalf of Abati to settle out of court cos Abati might end up in jail. On 11 July 2012 Rueben Abati and The Guardian published an unreserved apology to Buhari. http://newsrescue.com/rueben-abati-retracts-libelous-invention-linking-buhari-terror-compensates-general-damages/ 2. Buhari said Muslims should vote only Muslims Facts: In June 2001, Sheikh Sidi Attahiru Ibrahim launched his book at a Dan Fodio University event. General Muhammadu Buhari was invited to chair the event, where he spoke ex-tempore. Later that month, Buhari granted an interview to Rev, Fr. Matthew Hassan Kukah (present day Catholic Bishop of Sokoto) confirming what he said at the book launch. Here is the relevant portion of Kukah’s report on what Buhari said during their June 23, 2001 conversation (which was published in the Weekly Trust edition of July 6-12, 2001) “During the course of my comments, I drew attention to the fact that the introduction of Sharia had become one of the main issues in this new dispensation. I explained that Sharia, however, has been with us well before the British colonized Nigeria. Now, Sharia has been introduced in many Northern states and Sokoto is one of the states that has already adopted Sharia. It must be pointed out however that Sharia is applicable only to Muslims. Those elements that have taken the law into their hands and use the opportunity to molest other non-Muslims are not helping the cause. What is amore, they are like bad policemen or judges who are making the enforcement of justice so difficult in Nigeria. Their shortcoming does not do the police force or the judiciary any good, but these acts do not detract from the imperative of both institutions. Midway through our democracy, we have time now to assess the situation on ground in terms of making our choice in the next elections. Vote for good men whether they are in Borno, Katsina, Sokoto or wherever. Vote for those who will protect your interest. This, Rev. Father, is the summary of every thing I said and the tapes are there.” (1) Nothing controversial in any portion of that statement, I’d say? The controversy began when Ahmed Oyerinde, a long time Sokoto correspondent for ThisDay and other Newspapers, (who was not at the venue of the book launch when Buhari spoke) made up the false quote and reported this as fact in ThisDay. In the aftermath of his report, the tape of the event was played and no such statement was found there. Oyerinde later confessed to his Editors that he was not at the event and did not hear Buhari say any such thing. I was told that ThisDay later published a retraction of the report. (2) For the record, Oyerinde, sadly now late, had been the subject of a disciplinary investigation by Nigerian Press watchdogs for allegations of taking money to write false and mischievous stories. The allegations were confirmed and he was reprimanded. One of these investigations dates back to 1990. (3) Yet, despite Buhari’s many denials, and the defence of neutral observers like Fr. Kukah & Garba Shehu the peddlers of this lie keep repeating them maliciously. REFERENCES: 1. Kukah, Matthew Hassan, Weekly Trust Newspaper, Abuja, July 6-12, 2001 2. Private conversation with a Senior ThisDay editor with close knowledge of the 2001 incident on Dec. 30, 2014 3. Shehu, Garba, Premium Times, http://www.premiumtimesng.com/opinion/106982-not-accepting-to-negotiate-with-boko-haram-could-hurt-buhari-by-garba-shehu.html Propagandists will never stop but as Buhari himself aptly put it... “Those who don’t want the progress of our people have spent fortunes over the years to raise silly propaganda about me. I have been around for some years and have challenged them to bring out one person I ever discriminated against based on faith but they are yet to take up the challenge. They should continue to tell lies about me just as I will I will continue to tell the truth about them.” 2 Likes 3 Shares |

This northern elders should not alter the general and popular aspirations of Nigerians at the moment with their idiotic mentality. General Buhari is not running on a Northern mandate but the mandate of the oppressed and poor from the four corners of this country. If you ask me I will say this is a plot of the same people who do not want this man to ever rule Nigeria again. Buhari already has a popular appeal among Nigerians that he doesn't need any old confused people from the north to speak for. Some people might be working for some people somewhere. Quote me on this but they will fail. The much needed change must come. |
