u have too know this that political game players have thought about all these points u have raised. Don't mind the noisemakers here on nairaland shouting sai buhari. The unity of this nation is of utter most importance to key players. Nigeria is too big and important to be handed over to people like amaechi and tinubu to control. There is no way buhari will or can win this election. This will be the worst and heaviest defeat for apc ,just wait and see. If buhari 8 states believe me it will be a miracle.

Again, I hope you are right!

But we must no lower our guards. We must not underestimate the quantum of foolishness in Tinubu and Ameachi's camp, even as they drag the clueless general down the scheming rabbit hole! They are not cloning PVC for the fun of it; we are dealing with desperate people, whose schemes might run out of control like the Boko Haram saga!

We must not lose guards!

We must emphatically defeat their myopia at the polls, in the interest of the rest of us - Nigerians!

I keep hearing Change Change. Until I asked them:
Change from what?
Change to what?

Someone took a loan in millions to pick a presidential form, but never considered taking a loan to start up a company that can provide employment for same youths following him?! After 30 years in same seat, what has he done to positively better lives around him?

Yes he is poor abi? Poor people can get loans in millions in Nigerian banks and have their kids school abroad. While other almajiri kids have no school under his administration. Change indeed!

Lol.

Buhari's poverty story is simply a lame attempt to copy 'I have no shoes' comment of the current President. Unfortunately for him GEJ case was due to circumstance beyond his control, in Buhari's case it is caused by his inability to create wealth with his resource. Buhari's poverty is caused by 'poverty of idea'!

So if APC fans help CNN (and fifth columnist) destroy the army because of GEJ, will the army suddenly become the best if Buhari comes to power?

thanks for ur understanding. Just for the record , pdp won ekiti state with a very wide margin of votes, in osun state despite the fact that pdp presented a weak candidate ,the party still amassed over 200,000 votes and this would have been more if pdp had presented a popular candidate. Ondo state is firmly under the control of pdp with mimiko has governor. In oyo state ,apc has already lost the state because noone is even thinking of voting for them,the opposition parties candidates leading the onslaught against apc are all products and ex members of pdp,the common goal of all in oyo state is that apc must go,maybe if the governor had moved to another party he might have had a chance. So far as the game is only lagos ,ogun and kwara remains to be decided and it is a common knowledge that pdp will clear all elections in kwara state. So pdp still has a very very strong fanatical base in the south west and yorubas are sophisticated to know the difference between cheap propaganda and facts . We know apc is a pack of liars and we will give them our verdict at the polls.

A fact many people share.

Hopefully the verdict will be a complete rejection of Tinubu's schemes and aged Buhuri's misadventure. Frankly, anything other than this will really portray the Yorubas in bad light especially among the Southern ethnic groups. The Niger Delta will see through the schemes as plot to 'steal' their oil, while SE will see it as attempt to stem the little attention (airport, and roads) that have come to the SE. GEJ has been magnanimous to every part of the country. The free elections experienced now, didn't happen in the days of Obj. Infrastructure development appears evenly spread, even as North appears more favoured!

Our primary concern now should be free and uninterrupted flow of oil, while the effort to diversify the economy (agric, auto, power, telecom, services etc) gathers steam. This seems guaranteed with GEJ at helms of affair. To cut his time short will be seen as a gang up to steal from the 'poor and weak' Niger Delta, and return Nigeria to status quo. SE will not be part of that! In unison both will see Yorubas as greedy lots. Para-adventure Buhari's wins and become incapacitated leading to Osibanjo's Presidency, Core North will simply join the fray. No 'sophistication' will get Nigeria out of the mess this Tinubu's misadventure would have caused then.

I don't think it is fair to generalise all this as a west agenda. Pdp has a massive followers base in the south west . And it is a common knowledge that pdp will win at least 4 states in the south west for the presidential. All this scheming is that of tinuburuku and his allies in the persons of obj and co. Most yorubas right now detest apc and by the end of this year election apc would have dropped additional 2 or 3 more states in the south west.

It is some of the very loud mouthed Yorubas who have sold this a Western Agenda, an expression of their 'sophistication.' And that's how most of the 'free' world see it. Let's hope we are wrong, and you are right!

Alezy:
May God bless u my brother.

And bless you too!

The North should by now know better than trust the West on issues like this. Why do they think Tinubu and Obj are all of a sudden friends? Best for the North to allow GEJ complete his second term, and then enter into agreement with the East for 2019!

My 2 kobo!

Great thread.

Well done jasper!

"If you put an old man there, he cannot do it. If you call him (Buhari) in the night, he may not pick your calls,” - Fashola

How does that sound, eh Fashola?

Also, the national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, enjoined the people not to vote Agbaje, who he said could not manage his personal business well.

Please someone should remind me of Buhari's personal business which he has managed well? Did he run a single business?

So Fashola too doesn't want a 58-year old man to rule Lagos, because he's too old, yet he's happy for a 73-year old to rule Nigeria? Na wa oo!

Fashola and Tinubu are 21st hypocrite personified!



Agbaje for Lagos!
GEJ for Nigeria till Fashola and Tinubu drop their hypocrisy!

Have they called her (Buhari's wife) anything similar to "Sheppopotamus" yet? If not, it's still within the range of friendly banter. You cam raise the alarm again when they cross that threshold.

@op,

I don't think that Prof Osibanjo's wife. I strongly believe it's Mrs Buhari's maid!

iamrealdeji:
You're a fool,then why does everyone try to learn our language,copy our style,hausas/fulanis are all over yoruba land working for us as house boys/maids,begging for money on our streets(almajiris),hausas/Fulanis are dying hard to be us because we rule Nigeria,most successful and famous people are yorubas most world renowned musicians,actors,designers,academicians are yorubas(the only nobel laureate in Nigeria) we're light years ahead of any tribe in Nigeria,thats why you'll see every tribe In Yoruba land,i've never been to any hausa/Fulani town or city but they're all over here,Fulanis especially are known to be very proud and hausas are violent,any simple argument,they pull out knives and stab people,you're probably one,thats why you're saying rubbish here on nl,go back to drink your fura and nunu northerner

Omo, you can ramble oo.No full stop, no paragraph! Abeg which school you go? Buhari's school of WASC without certificate?

Does he really have WASC? Is an affidavit enough proof, even when it's easier to get copies of certificate?

A cattle herder for president!

Whymee:
...if only you realise that military is also an institution, having courses equivalent to OND, HND, BSC, PHD etc.

If that is the case, why didn't buhari state the highest qualification he obtained from the military. Let me guess the military didn't award him any because he didn't pass any of his military exams? Did he even pass his WASC exam? Where is the evidence?

God forbid that I vote someone with (dodgy) WASC as my President in 21st century Nigeria. What message will I be passing to the young ones?

Sibrah:
How has the loophole of stealing been removed in the case of in oil and gas (subsidy inclusive)? People are always going to find a way to steal, punishment is the only sure way to fend theives off and it is a pity Jonathan has decided to punish the Nigerian people by partially removing the subsidy while leaving the subsidy theives to roam free and acquire more power for new round off assault on the peoples' commonwealth.

The best was to plug the loopholes in the oil industry is by completely removing subsidy on fuel. Something, many Nigerians refuse to understand! Subsidy should be on production not on consumption! That way, there would be nothing for subsidy thieves to claim.

GLOBALX:
Will you keep your children in Nigeria .....up north so dat bokoharam can kidnap them?..Even Jonathan moved his family abroad...Pls discuss issue based politics and not this irrelevant but unnecessary fault finding mission.

Are there no 'big man' children in the North? Is Buhari daughter more important than the rest of us.

That's how to fight corruption in 21st century - remove the incentives and plug the loopholes!

The part I don't get is why Buhari sent her daughter to school abroad, and doesn't preach education to the thousands of almijiri hordes who follow him. Is it so that his daughter will lord over them?

theV0ice:
Okogie didn't deny the truth...he only counseled it shouldn't have been from the pulpit but Since GEJ loves the pulpit dramas so much (as evidenced by the below), i have little to blame Rev Fr Mbaka for

Quit it already.

Here is an excerpt of what Antony Cardinal Okogie said:

How do you see the statement credited to Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka?

Any serious priest will not speak the way he spoke. I am not saying that he is not serious. I will not agree with the things he said. According to what I read in the newspapers, a few weeks earlier, the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, visited his Adoration Ground in Enugu and he prayed for her. At that occasion, he was said to have lambasted the opposition party, APC, and now to turn around overnight and start lambasting President Goodluck Jonathan shows that there is something wrong somewhere.

Personally, I felt bad because it is not the place of a priest to go to that extent. He can have his personal opinion, but to go to the extent that he went is abnormal. I want you to know that he wasn’t speaking for the church. He said he was moved by the spirit, and I wonder what kind of spirit was that.

He said he was under the inspiration of the spirit. If he was under the inspiration of the spirit, I wonder if the spirit is that of God. I don’t think the spirit he’s referring to is the spirit of God. He must have been under the influence of another spirit. He must have been listening to a wrong spirit.

theV0ice:
have you finished thinking about Rev Fr Mbaka's message?

My mentor Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie has replied him. I have nothing further to say!

theV0ice:
yes bro....like the political drama you're asking us to read here

I didn't ask you to read anything, I only asked you to 'Think'!

Can a (dodgy) WASC holder understand a Professor? Where will he start?

"Yoruba ronu"

theV0ice:
have you also listened to the tape from Rev Fr Mbaka?

You mean his 'spiritual drama'?

It must be the mythical Western Niger!

Where is emperor Musiwa!

CNN has, as usual, goofed!

According to the reporter, she said over 2000 were killed last week according to eyewitness

One eye withness, counted 2000 dead bodies? The eyewitness must certainly possess some super human powers!

One of the biggest problem with Nigeria is Obj. GEJ not dancing to his tunes actually means he's doing something right! Let him take his wahala to APC, is he not their "navigator"? Besides the worst of PDP are all gradually moving over to APC. What's he waiting for?

As they say "Yoruba Ronu"

I am Igbo, but I fully support GEJ, an Ijawman, because given the challenges he faced, he has really performed in many sectors! Osibanjo, Tinubu, and co cannot protect yoruba's interest in Buhari's government. Buhari has already forgotten Osisbanjo's name simply because he has no regard for him, and only need him to win yorubas vote. Osibanjo himself has little or no chemistry with Buhari, they have never worked together, and wont be able to work together. Can a (dodgy) WASC holder understand a Professor? Where will he start? Osibanjo is just there to look after Tinubu's business interest, and even at that he will fail. Buhari will work with his 'own people' in kitchen cabinet!

Again "Yoruba Ronu!"

WASC?
I thought Buhari had M.Sc

BTW has he presented the WASC certificate?

Symphony007:
I made provision for you and your likes, after all if every Nigerian had sense, we won't be in the mess we're today.

They don't want to hear you; they want to drown your voice in the sentimental frenzy!

Impressive!
