I'm sure you are literate and I'm sure you are not Stupi.d
I'm also sure you read the part where he said that Adeboye does not approve or endorse any party.

So why tell us he consulted him if not to confuse their gullible followers

Should we continue with GEJ who seemed to have no more ideas on how to stop the bombings. Borrowing your football team analogy, what is the purpose of having players on the bench if not to change ineffective players?
thank you my brother. i am from the niger delta, i have lived in port harcourt since 1981. am a realist in life. am sure if it was buhari that was performing like jonathan at this time all niger deltans would ask for his head or something else. CAN'T WE JUST LIVE A LIFE BEREFT OF SENTIMENTS? at the moment the attacker we have has an amputated foot, we have another attacker on the bench, he may not be as prolific as the first if you like to say so but should we continue with the first because he is the son of the head coach?

In 1976 at the age of 34 Buhari became the minister for Petroleum and Natural resources. In 1978 at the age of 36 Buhari became the chairman of NNPC. Today the reverse is the case, most Nigeria youths at the age of 35 are still unemployed and still living with parents.
One major reason for this unfortunate turn of events is that grandfathers like Buhari has refused to voluntarily handover baton to the next generation.

Buhari, Must you serve Nigeria as a president only? Is there no capacity you can serve except the presidency?

Pa. Buhari should give way for the younger generation.

GEJ till 2019

Shut up! Ronald Reagan became an American present at the age of 70. Nelson Mandela became South Africa president at the age of 76 shortly after leaving prison. Go and read history books, you know nothing about it

Why is it difficult for you to think reasonably? Osibanjo is a pastor in RCCG, it is only natural that he should inform the GO.

Im sure if you had consulted from God instead of Adeboye,God would have instructed you not to dab into Nigeria politics.You have not become the VP of Nigeria yet,your comments since your nominaton are unbecoming of you as a man of God which further raise the question of whether you are a genuine man of God.Politics in Nigeria today is a dirty one.Our politicians are fetish and corrupt.
Im sure by the time you get there,when you cannot beat them,you will join them.This is not to say genuine men of God should not join politics,but a situation where one will be sorrounded by evil minded politicians,is not a good omen for men of God.

Did you read the interview or are you focusing on the headline alone?
The interviewer asked him a question regarding Adeboye's consent and he gave him a reply.
You can only be confused if you choose to be.

You just want to look for something wrong where there is none.

It's only GMB that relegates his duty to his VICE.. so if you say he has a clear picture, I wouldn't doubt you.. Because his OGA has never taken responsibility... As Head of State, General Tunde Idiagbon did the Job, As PTF chairman, his Secretary did the Job...

We don't want a semi-illiterate who wants to stabilize oil price from Aso Rock... cheesy

The price of cattle is pretty high over here, maybe he can stabilize that from his village... grin

the people voting for gej are voting for gej, not his vp. Sambo has no electoral value and this is a thing of pride and strength to gej as a man. Gej is a quiet humble common man from the south and sambo is the same in the north. The gej campaign isn't trying to us tribal sentiments or politics to run. Buhari picked osibanjo not because he was the best successor but to trick yorubas and christians. Gej picked an architect and buhari picked a pastor. Which nigeria do you want for your children?


See Jonathanian again! So Osibanjo is no longer a professor of law, an academia but only a pastor?

The choice of Buhari for the A.P.C presidential slot was not a well calculated move by A.P.C. With an unknown candidate as a presidential candidate and Osibanjo, A.P.C would have been very tough defeat, but the old soldier still thinks he's the best man for the position. Buhari is not and will not make a good leader because he appears to know too much and overshadow people. What he has failed to understand is that the likes of I.B.B and others will never let him smell Aso Rock, not while they're living. Osibanjo, continue with your good works, but I think you have to try again when A.P.C is ready to field the right candidate for the presidential slot. You would have even fit well to that position, but old soldier says he never dies.

Osibanjo can have his opinion, Tinubu has his.



I'm not voting for Sambo and you're not voting for Osibanjo. Review or ask an informed party about Nigeria's constitution and the role of the Vice President.

[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]

We no longer saw all the good things she did, and she is a product of GEJ..

The truth is that, we can't be like US over-night...

Sir, be frank.. can you tell me that GEJ has not done anything significant since he came into power..


Imagine what the Ph.D holder would have done if there were no distractions from Boko Haram..

Is it Jonathan fault, that past Northern leaders of Nigeria refused to develop their people?

C'mon man, lets be realistic..

For me, I wouldn't have supported GEJ if APC had brought another Candidate..

I will never support a man who truncated Democracy and now wants to democratically govern... Karma will always work against him..

Had Buhari not overthrew, the civilian government, our democracy would have waxed stronger.. We probably would not have know GEJ... and Nigeria wouldn't have been as corrupt as this.. Because, he let IBB over-threw him.. IBB practically destroyed Nigeria with his chop, I chop government..

If you look at it realistically, Part of Nigeria's problems is on the head of the retired General Buhari..

The major problem is on the head of GOWON... I heard he cries daily, for not implementing the Aburi accord... sad

I read every bit of this interview...very inspiring and comforting...at least we know there is HOPE afterall for our dear country.

So many people on this thread didn't go beyond the title of the thread and kept spewing rubbish! It is sad.

Prof Osinbanjo has shown through detailed and well thought-out responses that he understands our plight and is ready to walk the walk...this alone gives me HOPE.

I sincerely wonder how people can still keep rooting for GEJ/Sambo after all the hardship. GEJ may not be bad, however we know he is surrounded by criminals. That's why the likes of Asari and Tompolo can be harrassing us the way they please as if they own the whole of Nigeria. Very sad.

Change is near, and we want to feel that change in every nooks and crannies of Nigeria..

..WITH THE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES CLUELESS OF THEIR WHEREABOUT OR HOW TO RESCUE THEM.

Since many of you are quick to point out the absence of GEJ in the areas affected by insurgency.

You will build a house one day. Make sure you don't give money to anyone to buy anything you need for the building. Do it yourself! Make sure you supervise the builders from the foundation till the paintjob and fittings. In fact, do them all yourself. Give as much time as you live to the building.

Then check out how long it took you and how much progress you were able to make, that is if you didn't run mad or stress didn't drive you to your sickbed. Check out how perfect the house looked in each of these:
1. When you did everything yourself.
2. When you let others help.
3. When everyone did their job. Owning a house should be a priority. Just like a country deserves her president's 100% attention, it also deserves all your attention.

Governance is like a tripod stand. One can't perform the function of the other, nor perform its function without the other. Any of them missing in its position will lead to loss of contents of the cooking pot. These things are as simple to understand. It baffles me how people can be so blinded by sentiments that they forget even their own identity.

The insurgency attempts averted recently didn't include GEJ in their midst, but it happened, didn't it? Leave to Caesar, what is Caesar's.

What is dis one saying?. Pls try & educate urself on d history of our country & u will realize why knowledgeable people wit a sense of history highly revere d General & yearn 4 his return. While GEJ's govt will go down in nigerian history as one of d most clueless, inept & corrupt govts, d Buhari/Idiagbon regime remains d reference point 4 good governance, discipline & integrity. GMB rescued nigeria frm an economic catastrophe worse than what Greece experienced recently. He saved nigeria frm d abyss it was plunged by greedy looters & criminals of d worst kind masquerading as politicians of d NPN (d evil ancestor of d PDP) & once again made d country solvent while rejecting d IMF loan & its slavish conditionalities. During his short stint as head of state he showed dat if we believe in ourselves & look inwards our country would be great.
I don't care 4 d PDP & APC but I care about d patriot, GMB. if elections ar a referendum on performance while in office, GMB has proved himself & I will vote 4 him any day, any time, any platform. SAI BUHARI
