buhari failed in 2003, 2007, 2011 and will also fail in 2015. even if he goes to the pope for prayers, he will still lose. GOD is against him. how does he think he will rule Nigeria, after all the atrocities he committed.
APC's plan is to destroy Nigeria, to suck NIGERIA dry. they are after the oil. but this time around they will be disappointed. They have tried all their best to frustrate Jonathan but GOD has disappointed them. Jonathan also removed the police and co. from guarding the water ways and oil pipelines, replacing them with...... which means if I lose I will go with my oil. so it is very very impossible for buhari to win and he will never win. Their evil schemes are being exposed every now and then. if they don't want a south-southerner to rule or decide to make the country ungovernable, they will not rule also. and if they try anything silly, the election may be postponed again. Nigerians be wise. GEJ is the best option. he is working and deserves your support. #GEJWILLWINAGAIN.. GOD Bless..

Have u ever heard of abraham lincoln

What are you saying? Who wants your oil?
It's going to be pretty much useless anyway.

This OP needs a doctor ASAP....

Buhari!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never seen any school built in his name. I have never seen any borehole constructed by him. • There is no record of any scholarship awarded by him or for him nor through him. • I have never seen him use his popularity to canvass for any charitable work nor any humanitarian effort, not even at the height of the polio scourge where other purposeful and prominent leaders lead the campaign for immunization. • No single text book has been donated to any school either by him, for him or through him. Asides from doing nothing for others, he has not even improved himself since his exit from office. • No book written, no memoirs, no lectures, nothing! • The only thing of note he can point to are his numerous interviews on the BBC Hausa station. • He never championed for a university in his state nor has he ever been involved in any kind of development programme to better the lives of the Almajiris in Daura. • His entire existence has not lead to any meaningful development in Daura, yet they say he can change Nigeria. Doesn't charity begin at home anymore? • No wonder he was referred to as being ''perpetually unelectable''. * • He is not a patron to any organization, group or association. • No professional body in Nigeria has ever invited him for their lecture, convention or gala night. • The only time any known form, body or human assemblage ever chose him to do anything for them was when the Boko Haram terrorist sect nominated him as their spokesperson in the proposed talks with the Fed. Govt. • He recently joined twitter because of elections. At 72 what does he have to offer? • Everyone would like change and positive change is always good but Gen Buhari isn't the answer! Let us be wise. Its our future n children future.

Now tell me why Goodluck shouldn't win?
A word is enough. ..........

Can you point to any of these things Jonathan did that qualified him for vice-presidency or presidency in the first instance, hypocrate

Assuming you are right that GEJ is working, can you please list what he has done so far and how much he has spent on doing them also tell us how much Nigeria has made since he took over office, and I will decide if he is worthy of my family vote.

All those things you mention that buhari has never done for Nigerian us not his responsibility as a citizen it is Government' s. Go around the world and prove me wrong. Building schools, hospital, recreation centers, constructing roads, bridges all what our governments are boasting of here are seen in the rest of the world as normal things no government can claim as achievement but how Strong their country is against the rest of the world is claimed as achievement, how their citizens are better off is achievement. And you claim buhari never wrote book and so on. On that he he not an academia but a military man and his records are there for all to see. He even has numerous lectures he has delivered at many prestigious gathering. Having said all that it is very interesting to inform you that your self acclaimed academia's work is no where to be found, his book and all. So in your own interest it will be better to keep away from insulting buhari for your own interest and GEJ's because any claim you bring forward will be exposed by a well informed Nigeria even those that are not APC member like myself. God bless Nigeria.

am a pvc holder but undecided who to vote,waiting for apc to convince me on why i should vote buhari cause i still believe in the devil i know being better than the engel buhari i don't know,so i need concrete words with proof i can trust.

BUHARI HAS NEVER BEEN ACCUSED OF A STOLEN WEALTH, HE RECEIVES ONLY HIS PENSION. PLS TELL ME ANY OF THE PEOPLE, POLITICIAN
BUILDING SCHOOLS, BOREHOLE AND EVEN DONATING BIG MONEY TO THEIR MOSQUES/ CHURCHES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ACCUSSED OF
STEALING GOVT. FUND. EVEN GEJ DONATING DOLLARS TO OBAS IN THE SOUTH WEST CANNOT TELL US THAT IS FROM HIS SALARY.

Where did our $2.8billion dollars run to during his time as petroleum minister?

I am neither an advocate for apc nor pdp. Infact I'm not even a Nigerian but married to one and I also do business in Nigeria that's why I'm interested in its politics. From what I've seen, your country needs a massive change and your president is uninspiring.

haha.. don't mind him. buhari or APC will soon come to tell us that it was Abacha that stole and then transfered the money to buhari's account..

Have you not heard of philanthropists building schools and giving scholarships to people. Now can I say that 2chainz a chain smoker (smokes the most expensive weed in the world), an American born and alcoholic rapper is better than Buhari and has the interest of the poor at heart compared to Buhari? Just recently, he gave out scholarships to the less privileged in Jamaica and is said to have Nigeria as his next target with one other country I can't recall.

As a true leader, you must not lead from the top. Start from the root:

1. Give scholarships.
2. Buy books for primary school pupils.
3. Advice almaijiri's and preach to them the importance of education and help get them of pf the streets since his people greatly listens to him.
4. Establish a small motherless babies home.
5. Go for hospital visitations and foot the bills of the less privileged in hospitals.
Etc.

Even if he doesn't have money for 1, 2, 4 and 5, and does only number 3 and successfully gets a reasonable number of almajiri out of the streets and into government built schools, we would've celebrated him.

You must not lead from the top. Mahatma Ghandi started from bottom till he lead at the top same as Nelson Mandella.

We need a positive change and not a negative one. The opposition has shown us nothing but negativity.

so who wants to bring the change? by the way america had independence over 200yrs ago and you can't compare them with NIGERIA that is just 50+

Thumbs up!!! Goodluck is the man of the people

can someone please define what change is? where will the change start from? charity begins at home ooo....and if charity begins at home that means the change must start from the masses of this great country...young lads keep typing "change" when they cant define it and know where it must start from, God help us all

Change can be simply defined as a movement away from Goodluck to Buhari.

Goodluck has obviously failed else he won't be struggling so hard to convince more than half of the country to re-elect him.

The mere and simple fact that he is struggling and trying so hard to resell his candidacy to more than half the country is a huge indictment. If his performance was so glaring and sterling, Buhari won't even be in contention against him. Even you would have been spared the tough job of trying sell his candidacy here. Admit it bro, GEJ na bad market.

It wasn't even during Abacha's regime. He looted $2.8billion dollars during Obj's military rule and still illegally transferred funds into Abacha's private accounts during Abacha's regime.

Modified

He would have looted Nigeria madly during his rule but since he castrated and assassinated the press and journalists as a whole during his regime, you would never have found out if he stole or not. The only things you would have been aware of were the ones that couldn't be hidden, which he still sentenced journalists to jail or death for publishing.

That is not a valid argument. Those countries set out a template for democracy and Nigeria should learn from their mistakes and not wait for 200 years. Did you know Nigeria was giving money to countries like the UAE and Singapore in the 70s but those countries are highly developed nations now. Your country has so much money and resources that's not trickling down to the masses. Y'all ought to start holding your politicians and lawmakers accountable for the office they are holding instead of the pdp vs apc warfare we see online. Your politicians are one of the highest paid in the world infact they will make the average politician here in Sweden look like a pauper with the amount they're earning. This is the reason you need to demand more from them.

like I asked, who is going to bring the change? why do we need the change now?

[color=#000000][b]IN THIS INTERVIEW, COL. TONY NYIAM, who was part of the failed attempt to oust the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida’s military government in 1990, tells WAHEED BAKARE and ALLWELL OKPI, how the Orkar coup originated and its relevance to Nigerian politics There is the argument that we don’t need to have another conference since we have representatives at the National Assembly. It is the most ignorant assumption. Why do I say it is ignorant? With all the political scientists we have in our midst, people forget that what we are practising is what we call indirect democracy. What do I mean? The proprietary right over people’s sovereignty is delegated to people we elect to make laws for us. When it comes to making constitutional reforms or constitution making, you go to what is called direct democracy. Direct democracy means direct voting by the people in the form of a referendum and that is why the universal practice is that a constitution making process that does not go through a constituent assembly, whose decisions are approved by a referendum, is null and void. We see the examples. Look at South Sudan; it’s creation resulted from a referendum. How is it that Nigerians do not understand that for a constitution to be legitimate, it has to be driven by the people, and the people are usually represented by a constituent assembly? And this constituent assembly is usually made up of non-partisan politicians, because partisan politicians are only concerned with the next election. They are not concerned about posterity or long-term issues in the country. So, constitution which outlives people and a generation should be driven by civil society, collection of every nationality in the country and clerics. I would cite an example. My second home is in Scotland and in Scotland those who drove for the national conference were the clerics of the Church of Scotland, they were at the forefront. We also saw it in Ireland. Britain has the oldest parliament in the world, why are they allowing a constituent assembly to go ahead, while there are parliaments? It is only in Nigeria that such argument is raised because of the ignorance of the difference between direct and indirect democracy. That’s why I have tried to do an aide-memoir to aid constitution- making. There are certain basic principles of constitution-making, which if we do not follow, would be like building a house on quicksand. Do you think we would have been able to tacklethese problems if the June 12 election had not been annulled by Babangida? The thing is, Chief MKO Abiola, who I had the opportunity to work with when he escaped from Nigeria to UK, was a man that we lost because his plan was to correct the national issues and start democracy in Nigeria. But because some western interests in Nigeria did not want this, they colluded to do away with him. You once said soldiers could be recruited for a coup without their knowledge. How is that possible? Yes, there are many instances. You might want to verify this from Gen. Buhari, he was not the initiator of that coup that brought him in as Head of State, it was Gen. Ibrahim Bako and Babangida that initiated it. But because they wanted a credible figure as a face, he was brought in. He did not know the genesis of that coup. He was not quite aware of the original idea behind the coup and that was why when he decided to make a change, he was forced to step aside. So, if this could happen to a whole Gen. Buhari, who was supposedly the leader of a coup, it shows how many soldiers can be brought in that way. Does that mean overthrowing Shagari’s government was IBB’s idea? It was the idea of late Gen. Bako and IBB. Buhari was only brought in because they needed a face with integrity. Can you give other instances? Gen. Yakubu Gowon was not part of the coup that brought him in. He was a decent man. Nigerians like to play what the Yoruba people call bojuboju; they bring a figure with integrity to cover up their real intention; the real intention of politicians in uniform who have found cheap party. Many elements of them are in our partisan politics today.[/b][/color]

Good, now I understand where you're heading to. We are aware of the shortcomings of the present administration and we also want a change but we don't want a negative change that will mortgage the masses into one man's purse and not only that, it will also leave us at the mercies of a former dictator and an unrepentant tyrant that his words cost a lot of lives when he instigated the 2011 post election violence.
