You are a pathetic liar!

Tell us what resources are needed to win an election that the North lacks. Maybe you're talking of rigging which the PDP has perfected.

And why is it difficult for you guys to engage in issues-based campaign just for a day instead of spreading hate, fear and unnecessary propaganda?

That dude is really pathetic. He seems to have developed severe amnesia not to realise we still have more states in the north than we have in south/South and South/East put together. Sometimes, I get so perplexed by their archaic like of reasoning.

with the volume of threats that Buhari supporters are sending to people and openly preaching in the street, it will be FAR worst.

I made this thread because I have realized the north doesn't have the resources, numbers or popularity to actually win a fair and free election. So they have to resort to scaring people into giving them power by force. In the past they can just do coup after coup and I don't doubt that coups have been attempted in GEJ's administration (remember the upheaval in Abuja by troops this summer?).

This is all they have left. Telling people that if you down concede to them you will die. If you come out to vote you will die. If you don't enforce Sharia, you will die. Everything is a death threat. The blood of the dogs and the baboons, killing and butchering. This is all they have left and it's the mark of a desperate people.

All they have done is make voting in the north for christian and muslims a suicidal exercise.
with the amount of mass rigging that PDP is known for they might have incured d wrath of the people through such protest. no one is supporting such an attack but PDP n inec should learn to do things right just like APC presidential primary.

This your thread is not necessary because it breeds more hate. if you really, sincerely want peace to reign , you should be discussing how to avoid a reoccurrence. the coming election is still between gej n GMB, anything can happen and nobody will go to jail.

The solution is not by opening such threads and telling us not to vote GMB, it is by engaging in serious campaign against violence.

Indirectly, you are threatening people by posting these pics. its just like saying this is what will happen if gej wins and nothing will be done to protect the innocent.

They're not intellectually endowed to understand what you've written here. What do you expect when they don't have selling points for their product, GEJ?

Ikengawo, give it up! Time's up for all of these shenanigans. Up to the extent you attached proven pictures of mayhem that happened in another country. Your masters the PDP are the architect of electoral violence and election manipulation in Nigeria. Tell them to conduct a free and fair elections just like in 1993 and see how peaceful Nigerians will conduct themselves. There can't be effects without cause. They say he who make peaceful change impossible makes violent change inevitable. If there will be violence in next elections we all should be looking towards the PDP. Their failed and highly manipulated primaries from the Presidency to councillorship are a much pointer to what we are expecting come February next year. The leopard they say hardly changes its spots!

***

Without mincing words, you and I know that GEJ won the last election either u see it as fair or altered. GEJ won and he will win again!!

GEJ cannot fail; we LOVE him and maybe you haven't realised that yet!! GEJ 2015 is certain!! Ya'll should talk about something else!!

Merry Xmas!!

BTW, I been see one guy inside bus wey dey beg for votes, I been hear say him wan become una VP! Rat poison seller; God forbid.

APC has no candidate! They all desperate. Haven't u noticed that the APC talk more about the PDP?? Old fools! That sh*tter in that bus can't be my VP! Sambo all the way!!

Fellow Nigerians, Why do you not think for a second about Giving GEJ a second chance. If GEJ has a second term, nothing like trying to work well so as to have another term. If everything continues like this, he is not coming for another term. However if you vote for GMB he will try to improve the name of APC and will want a second chance. I have not seen any GMB fan who voted for GMB in 2011 that does not want to vote for GMB again. However I hav[b][/b]e seen GEJ fans who have seen the truth and now want to vote for GMB. If Jonathan is making policies to eradicate corruption. In 4 years, how many people have being held accountable. Please consider a change for the next 4 years. SAI BUHARI

12 million Nigerians would have to change their mind about GEJ (roughly 25% of all registered voters) for Buhari to TIE with Jonathan. I can tell you from my own perspective I voted for Ribadu in the last election because I was naive and young enough to believe in the Obasanjo anti-corruption gimmick. This year I'm bringing people that don't vote to the polls with me to take a stand against violence and intimidation in politics be it riots boko haram and other treasonable acts.

I like the professionalization of the Nigerian government that GEJ has brought about. Our ministers are world leaders in their fields, agriculture is booming, power is reformed and privatized, elections are reformed fair and free, 21 auto manufactures are setting up in Nigeria. In 2020 we will be tied with the US for auto manufacturing and assembly brands in our country. Can you imagine?

No shaking Buhari is only wining on Nairaland. Least we forget in the news recently;

“On November 19, APC leaders unfurled the much pinched wrap by declaring that they would lead a rebellion against President Jonathan and install a parallel government should APC lose next year’s presidential election.

“In less than 24 hours, the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun on November 21, on a live NTA morning programme, admitted that the APC knew what he called genuine leaders of Boko Haram and went childish by accusing the President of deliberately allowing insurgents take over the country”.

We are not ignorant of the devices of the of the evil the sons of belial of the evil party. Violence their stock in trade. It is in their DNA. It is in the words of the criminal coupist. It is on the facebook wall of el-Rufai. When you listen to Chibuike Amechi's speech you hear it. You see it in the comments on Nairaland threads. These evil men are characteristically violent.

To them, violence is the surest route to political power. They are allergic to tolerance and peace. All Nigerians of goodwill must be alert because the 2011 post-election violence would be a child's play compared to the violence that will be unleashed next year by these evil men.


Please avoid the axis of evil.

My guy you have nothing to worry about, I keep saying that the election will be FULLY militarised this time around, even those fighting boko haram might be withdrawn to secure polling booths. Only those who have evil plans lament against the deployment of soldiers during elections.
Police have failed us in the past, but the soldiers and policemen combination in recent elections have proven to be a success, PDP only won one out of the four so the thought of intimidation is non-existent.
People will vote who they want in 2015 and anyone who tries to harass them will be shot dead, it won't be like 2011.

Ikengawo:


all criticism are valid, what I like about Jonathan's supporters is they can speak about him realistically. He never tries to make him appear perfect or like a 'messiah', just a man that became president and is trying his best as we can see from the results.

I don't think he tolerates corruption at all. Obasanjo and others made us believe fighting corruption was a matter of arresting each and every person 'that steals', though in reality they were just lynching their enemies.

Jonathan's approach is figuring out what is causing them to steal and nipping it at the bud. This is a more pragmatic and effective approach. For example people were stealing because there was no accountability in government. Jonathan
1. Passed a freedom of information bill that left all accounts open for the public to example
2. Passed a cashless economy policy so the era of sneaking money through Ghana must Go's with no paper trail is over
3. Eliminated the fuel subsidy that was used to loot that nation
4. Eliminated over 60,000 ghost workers who's names were used to loot as well




This is how you stop 1 million thieves before they steal instead of catching 10 after they steal which was the primative Obasanjo approach (in theory, in reality he was just extorting foes)

1. The FOI works only in theory.
2. It was Sanusi and not GEJ that introduced cashless policy.
3. The subsidy removal brought untold hardship on Nigerians. SURE-P is now the avenue through which subsidy money is being siphoned into private pockets.
4. The so called ghost workers are still in the employment of our government because the executive hasn't implemented the ICPC report
Re: Nigerian Electoral Politics: The Politics Of Violence And Intimidation by goshen(m): 7:07am On Dec 26, 2014
Another way to look at it. If Buhari garnered over 12 million votes without the support of a single state Governor and the support of other well structured parties like ACN. Obviously, GEJ has no fighting chance this time around.

The truth is, most cabinet members of GEJ who are sincere with themselves, are fully aware the game is up for the clue.less one. Unfortunately for Nigerians, these ones are presently pre-occupied with siphoning more money to last them till eternity.

Moreover, I regret the way you are trying to stigmatise blame on your political opponents, and the way you are also trying to ward off, and acquaint your master off all blames.
Your master might be a good person, but he is being too good to criminals and insensible to his pledge and thus very bad as a president to the compatriots of his nation.

I urge you to be very introspective on what you stand for, and try to see how in detriment it is to the well being of your neighbours and your nation in general.

The logic is like this...

Scenario 1: I vote GEJ 2011: I get attacked because he allegedly rigged. my relatives got killed n my house got burnt.

AFTERMATH: The person I stood by did nothing to protect me. he accused me of colluding with my attackers to make his regime ungovernable. ultimately, the person supposedly responsible(Gmb) was not prosecuted, rather, he was given national award. In the end, my life got worse with no hope of improving.

Scenario 2: I am faced with same options in 2015. I stand a chance to live if I vote the other way (GMB) or to face the same fate as in the previous elections or even worse.

QUESTION: which is the most rational option? why stand for someone that cannot stand for me?
