A silly and childish government is what you would get
LRNZH:
I would rather be 'silly and childish' than support PDP/GEJ

GEJ has no thesis and he falsified his age.

$20Billion is still missing while the forensic audit report has dissappeared with NOI.

GEJ admitted to non performance in the South South. Not even East-West road was completed.

PEJ asked Igbos to vote for GEJ because he is their inlaw. Thatsall.

Electricity tarrif keeps increasing but MW keeps dropping. America no know this one o...

Over 200 Chibok Girls that GEJ doesn't give a damn about are lost

Chad is roaming in Nigeria territory doing Nigeria Army job without permission

Since subsidy riots of 2012, GEJ's promised refineries are still a pipe dream

Naira has depreciated to over 210 to 1 Dollar and GEJ claims transformation agenda is working

The 2nd Niger bridge cost was inflated by a factor of 3 and they will toll Ndigbo to pay for this scam

Abeg I be TaTa.

Nigeria, Sai Buhari

After reading through the pages I could see the level of strong "love" which members of the APC online staffers have for the Boko haram grand patron. But in this case no matter the level of their beliefs Buhari cannot afford to win the next election. It is very clear though I commend the zeal and tenacity of his supporters here but its just impossible for Buhari to win even if he tries again in 2019 and 2023..he will keep getting the same treatment and rejection he got in 2011..

Common sense and reason have been thrown into dustbins due to tribal and religious interests. Even some who call themselves men of God, could publicly boost that Nigeria Power Bloc (Brokers) are supporting Buhari. So where is GOD? Are these, his so called "Power Brokers" stronger than God? While as bible says power to become belongs to HIM (God). What actually will such Pastor preach to his congregation, when he has no faith in God, but in men. He does not believe that God the power to decide who rules this nation outside his so called power brokers. This type of preachers bring shame and insult to the body of Christ. I do not want to mention names. God knows him. I for one is sure and I strongly believe God will not allow Afflictions of 1980s to repeat itself in this Nation. If you doubt me mark it somewhere. Evil will not win good, no matter who is backing the evil.

Over the past week, it became apparent that the level of stupidity inherent in those inclined to support certain politicians at all cost is beyond comprehension.

In fact, it is frightening that so many Nigerians of voting age lack the fundamental reasoning ability of a second-grader and are even less-informed about basic facts than a kindergarten.

Propaganda cannot overcome the truth. Gradually Nigerians shall be witnessing the disintegration and the dismantling of the p d p with many of its who is who in the party deflecting to the new party from ward level to state and federal. It is unfortunate that at the end of the day people who have made some notorious pronouncements will have no place to hide but to eat their vormit as Tukur & co have started apologizing to the 5 Northern governors on behalf of p d p but at the same time okupe gulak and okeke are stil l anti the governors in their daily pronouncements. One cannot blame them , but they have to work for their daily bread or else......... 2015 shall tell.

I would have been more inclined to agree with him if his assessment had been impartial.

Silliness is not only exhibited by the supporters of Buhari but by supporters from both sides of the divide.

That puts a huge question mark on his assumed objectivity.

When we take a close look at his basis for identifying the supporters of Buhari as silly, we can't help but notice that he is actually the silly one.

If the constitution states a basic minimum, can't it be inferred that a higher academic qualification will overrule the minimum requirement?

I want to believe that the writer of that wonderful piece knows for a fact that Buhari has at least one diploma in a recognized foreign military institution which I don't need to remind him of the institution's prestige.

If that be the case, is it not silly to ask for the minimum when a higher certification is presented? I am quite sure that Buhari wouldn't have been granted admission to study for the diploma without a minimum entry requirement, which probably is the equivalent of an SSCE.

The writer also demonstrated his silliness by dwelling on a matter that should have been dealth with from the first day Buhari showed interest contesting for the Presidency. If his certification was an issue, why in God's Earth was he allowed to contest all the while?

The talk about his certification, in my view, is a desparate attempt at distracting the Nigerian populace from the crux of the matter, which is their dissatisfaction for a nonperforming government.

I decided long ago NEVER to vote for either Jonathan or Buhari, but the rate at which the PDP are demonstrating their silliness by chasing very trivial matters, I may just go back on my word and cast my vote for Buhari...if that would get this silly Government out of power and quieten their silly journalist friends.

Haba!

which refinery? He did not build shit , WAI was idiagbon's idea and it infringe basic human rights , FRUSTRATION is the main reason you people believe Buhari is our saviour , Buhari will only make you suffer more and More , you will complain from now till 2019 about bad government , he will die and go after destroying the economy with illiteracy and quota system , the whole Future of a country destroyed , because we can't be objective in our choices , Most Buhari fans don't know him well , especially the youths

For pete's sake, I can only question the pedigree of the editor at Punch newspapers (so I learnt) that gives this failed musician the national platform to air his jaundiced views.

For some time now, this Etcetera guy has been going on and on writing diatribes and venomous pieces which sought to pull down or ridicule peope who are doing well in their chosen careers and I ask, WHY?

What's wrong with this guy? Some people are outright wicked.
Clearly, this guy has an envious spirit.
Who has he not attacked?
He has attacked Don Jazzy, 9ice, 2face, Olamide, Akindele and even young wizkid.

When will his hate stop? When?

Na dem fault that in over 12yrs since you (etcetera) started music, you've not made a single hit?
Is it their fault? Is it their fault?

For crying out loud, I knew this guy in the early 2000s when he used to trek around music studios there begging for sessions.
You'd see him walking around opebi hungry.

It was the CEO of X3M music that reluctantly signed him on but when he realised the guy was bad investment he had to let him go.

These days, he hustles as a radio presenter which he's not even good at and running people down on newspaper. Mtscheew.

Now, he's jobless enough to spew thrash about Buhari supporters?

What do you know about leadership and what do you know about a peoples yearnings?

It goes beyond certificates and being posh and stereotypes.
Its about supporting someone with the sincerity of purpose, commitment and vision to lead his people honestly.

That's a clear CHANGE departure from the govt we have now.
That's what people want.

Get it.

Brother, every single word you wrote is true. I am truly ashamed of our youths and the so called elites. Today, I am embarrassed to identify myself as nigerian. Our brothers from the west are the ones giving this nonsense some impetus. It is a pity how some people can sell their consciences for some ethnic interest.

It is even more stupid when you hear or read their arguments. Same Buhari that cancelled the Lagos metro rail line and forfeited tens of millions of dollars in doing so. Same Buhari that jailed politicians from other ethnic groups while the Hausa-Fulani ones all escaped. The same man that gagged the press, thereby gagging our freedom of speech. The same guy that has not achieved anything in 29 years. The same man that has either refused to submit his certificates or doesn't have any.

Well, Jonathans detractors always say " May God rule your life the way Jona rules nigeria". True, Jona is not the best. If we had a better alternative, I will be the first to support the person.

I have a prayer for those who are trying to foist Buhari on Nigerians. May their next 29 years be as fruitless as Buhari's last 29 years. May their children and future generations always waste 29 years of their lives chasing shadows. May illiteracy become their lot and that of their children.

We need change. Change in our national and individual consciousness. Not this charade. Not when people like Tinubu, Atiku and all the corrupt former PDP members are the ones dancing around with brooms. There really was a country.

Zik, Awolowo, Enahoro and co, fought and died for nothing. The Nigerian-Biafran crisis was in vain. We are a people without morals. We truly lack common sense. We neither learn from history nor other people's mistakes. We seem to be so bent on making the same mistakes over and over.

Well, if the majority of Nigerians decides that Buhari is their best bet among over 170m, so be it. The people will only produce their like. This is how low we have fallen among humanity-to the point of campaigning for the same guy that overthrew a democratically elected govt. shame.

Are we not telling the military boys that it is okay to overthrow an elected govt? Are we not directly or indirectly, rewarding indiscipline in our military? Nigerians, think for once.

LRNZH and Co. answer the questions:

1. Can we equally say some Yorubas are voting Buhari because he is running with their brother Osibanjo? If not what has Buhari got over GEJ?

2. Are some hausas supporting buhari cos he is from there? If yes, that is the tribalism killing nigeria.

3. GEJ has supporters all over Nigerian why is Igbos support for him your trouble?

For your information Patience Jonathan is not an Igbo but from Okrika.

And Buhari's Daughter too is rumoured to be married to an Igbo. If so he is equally an In-law.

Igbos are supporting GEJ because he is the only President who has done something reasonable for Igbos. What did Buhari do for Igbos and yorubas while in power, besides killing and jailing their both senior and junior citizens?

Also note there are still some supporters and indeed sponsors of buhari in Igboland, so do not be a fool.

Do not drag Igbos into your politics, has OPC and Afenifere, Northern Youth Forum, Northern Elders Consultative Forum, Middle Belt Forum not endorsed GEJ? You think only Igbos endorsed GEJ. Do not think senselessly typical of APC leaders and their supporters.

We are in democratic setting, do not castigate people because their choices are not yours. It must not be, APC should train his supporters to be tolerant.

Stop insulting Igbos, if you have any problem with GEJ or PDP face them and leave Igbos out of this. I do not know where you come from, but one thing is sure, wherever it may be, find out GEJ has overwhelming supporters there of people who are normal and sensible. Not those who think with their anus. Who see white and call black, bad and call good. Or support evil no matter how bad. Thanks - Newsman.

I tell you.. The type of blind following we have in this country for politicians is alarming. Nobody is making informed decisions anymore or following with reason.
I mean from both parties o. Not even GMB only, though it seems GMB followers are totally fanatic about him. Ask them abt their ogas policies, ideas or why they love him and they don't know all they know is saibuhari. While displaying blind animosity for GEJ. I dont like GMB doesnt mean I should hate him or pour insults on him, I am not brought up that way. Informed politics is not run that way.

Nigeria needs to 'change' on so many levels. Look at our fiscal policies n Tax laws, look at our Reps/Senators salaries, Even our judiciary is not totally independent, look at the mess called INEC, LGs are not autonomous and even blamed FG for projects that's under their purview (but nobody is blaming them). Four years from now we might still be screaming change. Our country need great institutions not necessary great men.

We shall get there sha. We just need at least 15more years of democracy and all these issues will abate. Then Politics will be real politics.

Anyway Can't wait for the debate to come, let's see what all the presidential hopefuls have.
