if your reasonable people are those voting GMB am not one
I wonder how Buhari can rule this country considering his age and health. Why give the poor man problem
Of course even if he mean to do good,the likes of OBJ and Tinubu won't allow him.
If those voting GEJ are unreasonable,i prefer to be one.
THANK YOU
Evolve your mind and "emancipate yourself from mental slavery". It will help you immensely with the long and challenging road called life. You will get old someday and understand how petty and nauseatingly discriminatory (like you) some people can be when they will rise up to say you are not "fit" to do something because of advanced years yet there is absolutely nothing wrong with you physically and mentally which prevents you doing what everyone else can. It is called discrimination. I assume you are black and female. As a black female you should be the last person practising discrimination of any form against others.

With Buhari's health, your utterance show you have believed the lies packaged for you by those who oppress you and want to continue oppressing your children and grandchildren so that they can divert the wealth of Nigerian, which belongs to you, to their private bank accounts. Buhari is well and, like Mandela, will be an effective 'elderly' President. Nigerian politics is very dirty and all adults should choose carefully what they believe because I think we should all work with what is factual and proven instead of making conclusions based on hearsay and carefully packaged rumours which is usually the work of those who want to keep Nigeria as it is. Open your eyes and see.

@clevvermind, lol I hope you have seen the kinda comments the "amala people" are making on this thread? After your gej insulted us by calling us rascals, he now wants us to vote for him. Many of you have being calling the odua-nation with silly names Like; oily kids, amala people, ofe.manu(whatever it means), etc..
And now you people and your gej wants us to vote for the clueless man after all your insults. Well I hope your ak47 will be ready to unleash mayhem on us if your gej is voted out.
forget those things and vote for Jonathan. you people are still fond of insulting him. we'll not carry any gun. Jonathan would win. ok.

Obas are mearnt to be wise and incorruptible people in Yoruba land, enough of polluting jonathan daftness in our region and even religion christianity.
Jonathan can not be trusted, why are some self seeking folks like mimiko, fayose etc polluting our region with lies and backwardness?
Jonathan told OBJ/PDP he will do 4 years, he reneged
Jonathan promised stable power within 4 years, he reneged
All what jonathan promised when he was sympathetically looking for votes in 2011, nothing he has fulfilled.
Few Yoruba people fooling themselves that they are supporting 'jonadown' because of the implementation of CONFAB, have they asked themselves that if Jonathan can deceive OBJ, who are they and what is even National confab for jonathan not to trash in the bin at the instruction of Edwin Clark.
It is now clear, the game plan of election postponement by mimiko and jonathan is to win by hook and crook and crude way.

I thought Thief George, Koro, and co, said 80% of people in the SW have made up their minds to vote for Jonathan... Why is he still "wooing"
already won heartshuh

Jonathan should stop wasting his time, energy and money in the North and SW and rather focus on battle grounds such as the Middle Belt and some parts of the SE.
that it is my dear.I can't blame Jonathan because he knows nothing about south-west.his people were just deceiving him to get money and later dump him.They said yoruba will give him 80 percent of vote,but the same set of people were still bringing jonathan to sw to meet their elders.You can then ask yourself who is representing who?Among these ppl present at the meeting with mr.president who is representing a state like oyo state or osun that can boss of if he's talking people of the state will give him or her full support.OYO state is gone.Olubadan and alafin of Oyo are the two poweful political kings in oyo state and they solidly behind APC.Likewise osun only sijuade I know he will support PDP but other strong kings like ataoja will not.presently the situation in ondo and ekiti I can bet u that APC will win or 50-50 while Ogun and lagos is no go area.Thanks

Indeed. Everyone engaging truthfully with folks on the ground will accept this. In fact, this is one of the reasons they postponed the election. GEJ was on course to lose massively in the pivotal SW. The postponement will not help them at all. All it does is to make Nigerians appreciate how desperate GEJ is and hence the reason he needs to be booted out.

good talk
spott:
They said Buhari will take us back if elected President! Nigerians say it's a good decision to go back when you've lost your way on a 16yr PDP journey where our destination as a nation is no longer visible. Please, Buhari, take us back to the era where:
1. One Dollar was less than one Naira. It is incredible today!
2. Everything was on first come first serve basis.
3. There was zero tolerance for corruption.
4. Oil refineries in PortHarcourt, Warri & Kaduna were built & running at full capacity.
5. Anybody with questionable wealth was afraid to display it in public.
6. There was Zero tolerance for in discipline. Everything was in order
7. Nigeria had no debt at all.
8. Neglecting your children was a crime
9. Littering the public place was a crime
10. Twenty oil depots were built and functioning.
11 Western world can't interfere into our nation.
12. Chad invaded Nigeria, we sent them packing but did not harness their Land
13. Our economy was NOT running on generator
14. We can sleep with our eyes closed because we were secured.
15. Countries like Indonesia and Malaysia need not to set example on how to deal with drug pushers. 16. The Maitaseine Islamic Sect insurgency in the North was crushed on record time. 17. We want those days when Buhari was a military Governor but did not amass illegal wealth. 18. We want those days when Buhari was a Minister of Petroleum but did not hire a private jet for N10 billion. 19. We want those days when Buhari was a Head of State but did not loot the Treasury. 20. We want those days when Buhari was Head of PTF but did not steal the Fund even in the days of Abacha when stealing was the order of the day.
Pls, Buhari & Osinbajo, take us BACK! We can't afford another 4yrs of waste in the hands of PDP!!! Take us BACK to the good old days of this our great nation.
If you want this to happen, circulate the message!!!

Jonathan Renews Efforts To Woo South-west Voters.

President Goodluck Jonathan and his campaign handlers have redoubled their efforts to get significant votes from the South-West during the March 28 presidential election.

The PUNCH gathered on Thursday that the decision was based on calculations that the zone, because of its high number of registered voters, was critical to Jonathan’s re-election.

A Presidency official told one of our correspondents that that was why the members of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Council decided that Jonathan should reach out more to political, opinion leaders and traditional rulers in the zone with a view to getting their support.

He said that Jonathan and his handlers had therefore decided to use his ongoing visit to the South-West to carry out the task.


Jonathan, who was in Lagos on Thursday to inaugurate four Naval platforms, is expected to remain in the zone till Sunday. He later met with the Yoruba Council of Elders at the State House, Marina, Lagos.

Our source said the campaign team believes that the meeting could easily influence their (YCE ) followers to support Jonathan.

According to him, barring any last minute change in plan, Jonathan will be visiting the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, on Saturday.

On the same day, the President will visit the Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade.

He said, “You will recall that when the President visited Ibadan for his campaign, he only visited Olubadan. We have identified the need for him to also visit the Alaafin of Oyo.

“The same thing happened when we were at Osogbo for the presidential rally. He visited the Ataoja of Osogbo. We have found it necessary to visit the Ooni of Ife.

“More traditional rulers from the zone will be reached out to during this period, one way or the other.

“The simple message for these monarchs is for them to support the President’s re-election bid.”

The opposition All Progressives Congress controls three states in the South-West(Lagos, Oyo and Osun) while Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party is in charge of Ekiti and Ondo states. The PUNCH had reported exclusively on Tuesday that following the delay of polls dates, the PDP Campaign Council had resolved to begin another round of state-wide campaigns.

It was reported then that unlike the just-concluded campaigns that took Jonathan to about 35 states, about 10 states would be visited during this round for more “penetration and consultations.”

Some Yoruba leaders, who converged on Akure, Ondo State on Thursday to review the recommendations of the National Conference, concluded that a vote for Jonathan would ensure the implementation of the conference’s recommendations.

The meeting by the Yoruba leaders under the aegis of Afenifere Group. was tagged, ‘’National Conference, 2015 Elections and the Yoruba Nation.’

The Chairman of the occasion, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, set the tone of the meeting, saying that the support expressed by Afenifere for Jonathan was not partisan but based on the interest of the South-West people.

He said the vision of a restructured Nigeria was being realised with the convening of the 2014 National Conference.

Adebanjo said, “We are supporting Jonathan because of the consistency of the Yoruba to have this country restructured so that it can develop.

“People are calling for change. I want a change in the constitution of Nigeria. Only a change in the constitution can truly bring about the change that we need.”

The convener of the summit, who is also the Ondo State Governor, Olusegun Mimiko, stressed the need for change in the 1999 Constitution so as to enable the Yoruba nation to grow its economy independently.

He said, “The Confab report, when implemented, will create room for each state to have its own constitution, its own police force, its own prison service. Each state can create its own local government, can build its own airports, sea ports and railways in addition.

In the economic domain, solid minerals that had been the exclusive preserve of the Federal Government since independence, have now been brought to the concurrent list. States can now create employment and develop at their own pace. With all that, it liberates everybody; it opens up the political space.”

Mimiko noted that Jonathan was genuinely committed to transforming Nigeria through the convening of the National Conference, adding that the outcome had proved sceptics wrong.

He said now that those deriding the conference had been proved wrong, they had been scheming “to hijack power so as to throw the Confab report to the dustbin of history.”

In their goodwill messages, the Founder of the O’odua Peoples Congress, Frederick Faseun, and the National Coordinator, OPC, Gani Adams, warned that the National Conference report remained a vehicle for actualising the Yoruba dream of a prosperous South-West.

Others in attendance were Kunle Olajide, Biodun Olujimi, Makanjuola Ogundipe, Femi Okurounmu, Gboyega Isiaka, Jide Adeniyi, Yinka Odumakin and the Minister of State for Works, Dapo Adeyeye.

Nigerians are really an amusing people and it is funny to note the usual suspects deluding themselves that GEJ even has a small chance in the SW. Anyone who thinks about issues dispassionately will realise that the SW has no reason, non at all, to want GEJ to remain in power for another 4 years.

Virtually all the folks I know, from the SW, who voted for GEJ in 2011 have sworn vehemently not to have anything to do with him because of how he has let them down massively. They are now determined to vote for the GMB/Osinbajo ticket. With the SW, issues are not personal. GEJ has been given a chance and he simply has not acquitted himself well at all and this mainly is what will make people of the SW reject him massively in every State in the region.
Precisely. Do some people even bother to do independent survey sometimes.
Go out. Speak to market women, petrol attendant, listen to group discussions etc.
The pattern is clear for anyone who cares to discern: JONATHAN WILL LOSE OVERWHELMINGLY IN THE SOUTH WEST.
