Ikengawo:
Jesus. Maybe there's something wrong with you?

Not at all, its just that i hate her with passion because of her corrupt mind. She is one of the five presidents remember?

The other thing that has changed is the ‘sudden discovery’ of Buhari by the Southwest media. Buhari had made it his grim evangelical mission to decapitate the Yoruba leadership between 1984 and 85. Whilst he was doing that, the man still found time to completely emasculate the Press. But today, all of that is forgiven. In fact, some in that media have been working overtime to wipe the slate clean and even deny that Buhari ever put a foot wrongI am not one of Buhari’s fans; not one of his baying cult followers, but I have to concede that the man’s stock is quite high at the moment. The General’s star is shining brightly. His stock has recently skyrocketed. But why is that?
Cult followership I do understand. That happens all the time. Folks with similar but narrow interests that are driven mostly by hatred for a particular cause or hatred of a particular person would always find comfort banding together and are often very shrill in their campaigns. The fading Tea Party in America is a case in point. But apart from such devotees, Buhari also has a lot of...how shall we say?...a lot of unthinking ‘follow-follow’ followers who just parrot what other people say. This number is particularly large and they too are becoming strident. Why is this the case?
Buhari has an unsavory record as a former Head of State. He then proceeded to live out his post-retirement years as a local champion with no real legacy to point at. The General is still the same man. He is the same man who contested the presidency against Obasanjo, a Yoruba man, in 2003 and lost. He contested against Yar’Adua, a Hausa-Fulani, in 2007 and lost. He tried again in 2011 against Jonathan, an Ijaw chap. He lost again. So what has changed now? All the people clamoring for Buhari today, including the ones who appear ready to lay down their life for him, where were they in 2003, 2007 and in 2011?
What has changed? Well, a couple of things.
First, enter the Yorubas. Nigeria has three main tribes of which the Yoruba is one. In fact they are one of the more dynamic – certainly in terms of political awareness. President Jonathan however, through sheer incompetence laced with a lethal dose of complacency, completely sidelined the Yorubas in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Throughout his first term, no Yoruba featured in any major post in Nigeria under Jonathan. Nothing! Even the Central Bank passed tantalisingly right under the Yoruba firmament. It was only last year that the President belatedly appointed one colorless bloke from Ondo as his Chief of Staff after Mike Oghiadomhe was eased out. It was a vexing tokenism that came way too late in the day.
So it was only a matter of time before the Yorubas would look past Jonathan for business. Restructuring and sovereign national conference would have to wait. Similarly, the uncompromising value hitherto placed on solid education here can wait too. Even if my laptop was contesting the election against Jonathan, the president will still lose the Yoruba vote. Bola Tinubu, the current avant-garde leader of the Yorubas has been waiting and scheming how he might get himself into Aso Rock. And when Buhari was astute enough to talk himself into Tinubu’s good books again, another lethal brew, a formidable opposition was birthed.
Even Obasanjo, the man who laid the foundation upon which the PDP’s perversion, do-or-die doctrine and lawlessness was erected, is supporting Buhari – although OBJ’s electoral value at the moment is lower than a snake’s belly.
The other thing that has changed is the ‘sudden discovery’ of Buhari by the Southwest media. Buhari had made it his grim evangelical mission to decapitate the Yoruba leadership between 1984 and 85.

In fact, some in that media have been working overtime to wipe the slate clean and even deny that Buhari ever put a foot wrong. Though Buhari himself never said so, he has been totally repackaged a changed man by that same Press corridor. How do you like your irony! But why is that? He has Jonathan for an opponent, and here, it’s anybody but Jonathan.
Be that as it may, Buhari 4th edition and the sleek operations of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been a blessing to Nigeria’s political development. They have possibly changed the face of electioneering in Nigeria forever. If we look past the threat of violence and people’s fears, this season’s campaign has been more sophisticated and more challenging than what used to obtain here. The bar has been substantially raised and the standard is a lot more serious. It’s just a shame that the APC has chosen not to participate in pre-election debates. But I understand that too. Sources within the party have revealed that despite long hours of coaching and preparation, General Buhari persistently performed abysmally, jumbling up things and forgetting over 80% of things that had just been relayed to him.
The behemoth that is the PDP has gone largely unchallenged in Nigeria in terms of coherent opposition so much so they have begun to take the voters for granted. 16 years of unfettered looting and treating the populace with sneering disdain has made the PDP grandees complacent. If the PDP thought they were going to get an easy ride back into power, they were mistaken; and that too is a good thing.
What still bothers me though is the blackmail tool that is Boko Haram that was used and which yet lurks in the background. A change in government – particularly in the direction we are been urged to do – seems to me to be too close to acquiescing to the demand of Boko Haram sponsors. I fear that if we yield to this, a dangerous precedent is set, and a perpetual threat hangs over all of us, coiled up miserably somewhere, only to be whipped out whenever anyone feels sufficiently aggrieved.
And all of that is the Buhari factor... http://saharareporters.com/2015/02/17/misunderstanding-buhari-factor-michael-egbejumi-david

Happy ash wednesday to my christain friends.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Tuesday likened the remaining weeks to the 2015 elections to extra-time in football.
He enjoined party leaders, supporters and members to avoid mistakes that could cost the party the elections by remaining resilient because their patience would be tested in the days ahead.
Buhari said this at the Joint Leaders’ Meeting of the party, held at the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja.
According to him, he alongside leaders of the party travelled the length and breadth of this country, and had heard the cry for change which had become a common refrain among Nigerians.
He noted that it was common knowledge that the country was passing through trying times “which was imposed on us by the bad Peoples Democratic Party administration.”
Buhari said, “The imminent change in answer to the yearnings of our people has been delayed by the postponement of the February 14, 2015 elections.
“Our patience and resilience will be tested in the days ahead. We must pass this test.
“In a time like this, which in football analogy can be referred to as extra-time; we must avoid making costly mistakes. In the weeks ahead, I would like to implore you to remain true to the vision – to build a country that works for all of us and not just for the few.
“To rescue and stabilise our nation from the hands of plunderers. On this, I believe we all agreed.
“The important issue today is that we must use the next six weeks that have been imposed on us to re-charge and re-focus on our goal. The goal is to win the elections now slated for March 28 and April 11 with a convincing majority.”
The APC candidate enjoined party members to aim for and achieve a victory that would be beyond dispute and proceed to form the next government and start work on the task of rebuilding our beloved country.
He maintained that the objective of an APC-led government was “to build a great society that works for all, a country where every child has an equal opportunity to get an education, where every young Nigerian who needs a job can find one and where the sick are looked after and senior citizens are provided for.
“And most importantly, a country which gives value to human life, where the welfare and security of all is a national priority and corruption is defeated.”
In his first reaction to the alleged use of soldiers to rig the Ekiti governorship elections, Buhari described the revelations made by Captain Sagir Koli as “worrisome.”
He also said the fact that there had yet to be an official denial of the most unfortunate event, “makes me wonder, in the circumstances that led to shifting of the date of the Federal elections, whether the security services are even now being prepared to play a similar role in the March 28 and April 11 elections.”
The retired General enjoined Nigeria’s security services to remain committed to their constitutional responsibilities to Nigerians and to avoid the temptation of allowing themselves to be dragged into partisan politics.
While stating that he had tremendous respect for the security services, he enjoined the hierarchy of the military to stick to and concentrate on their constitutional duties to avoid further complicating our national situation.
Buhari commended members of the APC for making the requisite sacrifices which culminated in the momentum, which he said, the party was enjoying.
Earlier, a prominent leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, had likened milestones recorded by the APC within its short lifespan to bringing down the Berlin Wall.
He specifically expressed gratitude to Buhari for leading the party to avoid the booby trap set by the PDP.
Tinubu said, “We have to be further vigilant. Thank God that our presidential candidate is now more democratic and more obedient than ever before. The booby trap set was for our supporters to react (to the postponement) violently so that they will declare a state of emergency but he (Buhari) led us from that trap.
“The PDP government is desperate to cling to power; we are determined to take power from tyrants. No one will serve you power, the determination is yours. We know now that they have been unable to achieve the violent booby trap.”
Tinubu congratulated the Osun State Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, for finding a “panacea for the PDP rigging machine” in Osun State. He said the party could benefit from his experience in the general elections.
The Director of the APC Presidential Campaign Council and Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who gave a rundown of the party’s campaign so far, urged party members to pay attention to the polling booth because “that is where rigging starts from.”

Abuja – The Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said on Tuesday that corruption persisted in the country because Nigeria lacked the institutions, systems and processes to prevent it. Okonjo-Iweala made this known when she spoke on the Topic: `Preventing Leakages in the Nigerian Economy` at the Catholic Caritas Foundation Forum in Abuja. Okonjo-Iweala According to her, the absence of the relevant systems and institutions that will help check corruption has created opportunities for people to engage in the act. “This thing has been with us and
we must crack it. This is not something that started in this country today; but it is something that we must crack. “Fundamentally, we have to ask ourselves, why has this continued to be a problem; I am convinced that it is because we constantly look at the symptoms and not the cause of the disease. “The cause of the disease is we don’t have in place the institutions, the systems and the processes to block and prevent it in the first place. “That’s the only difference between us and the people abroad.` The minister assured that people would be compelled to do the right thing always if the appropriate systems were in place to block and prevent corruption. She urged youths in the country to ask the relevant questions that would help tackle corruption in the country. She said: “This is so important now because of technology and I am a total fan of the use of technology and electronic platforms to block the leakages in this country. “We must use them the way they are being used in other countries.“ Okonjo-Iweala said that the introduction of the Government Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMS) had helped to reduce physical movement of cash to make payments and curb
corruption. She said that the Integrated Personnel Payment System had also helped government to remove ghost workers from the system and save money in the process. She said, “We have been able to weed out about 62,893 ghost workers till date saving N208.7 billion and we have not finished in the system. That is addressing the root cause.“ The minister said that the names of the persons found to be involved in the act had been sent to the ICPC for further action. OKonjo-Iweala said that through the electronic wallet system introduced by the Ministry of Agriculture, government had been able to reduce corruption in fertilizer distribution in the country. According to her, 10.5 million farmers have been registered under the system with more than 6 million being able to access the product personally. This, she said, had contributed to increased food production.The minister said that with the creation of the Pension Transmission Administration Department as demanded by law,
issues with old pensio were being handled systematically She said that 14 people were presently under trial for various pension scams in the country. Commenting on the outcome of the forensic Audit on the alleged 20 billion dollars missing oil money, she said the ministry had written to the NNPC asking it to remit the amount as directed by the auditors.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/nigeria-lacks-institutions-systems-processes-prevent-corruption-okonjo-iweala/
