"do not vote for APC because Buhari will send your father to jail", "I'm not ready to feed my husband in prison and so do every Nigerian"- Patience Jonathan.

Only a fool and a tribal bigot would hear this and still vote for GEJ. Is it not better to send corrupt politicians to jail and liberate our weakened nation from the hands of political criminals, than allow them destroy our future and the future of our unborn generation? I urge Nigerians, let us come together irrespective of our ethnic appendage and liberate our country. Nigeria is the only country we can call our own.

We have tried PDP from 1999 till date and nothing has ever changed in Nigeria. Is it not better we try another? Only a fool will do a particular thing using same step and procedure and expect a different result. A vote for Buhari is a vote never wasted.

The problem that we have is the President himself- a President who prides himself on his own weakness and incompetence and whose love of false prophets and strange women knows no bounds and has no end. A President who is as confused and as clueless as the comic character called Chancey Gardner in the celebrated 1970′s Peter Seller’s Hollywood blockbuster titled ”Being There”.
A President who does not understand the meaning of the word ”class” or ”honesty” and who breaks his own word consistently.
A President who has abdicated his responsibilities, destroyed his own political party, divided his own country, alienated his own friends, humiliated his own mentor, abandoned his own people, brought ridicule to his own faith, cowers before his own officials, betrays his own governors, scorns the international community and breaks his solemn oath to protect and defend the Nigerian people.
A President who does not even have the nerve or the guts to call to order any of the numerous Jezebels that control him. He is the problem we have in our country today and until he resigns, is impeached or is voted out of power nothing will change and Nigeria will continue to go from bad to worse. That is what you get when you vote for a man who never wore shoes to school.

Re: Negative Campaigning In Nigeria. by Amhappy(f): 8:33am On Mar 20, 2015
My problem with these adverts is that it evokes a lot of negative emotions and bad-blood among die hard supporters. If we really need a non-violent elections,such campaigns should be disallowed. Had thought INEC will do something about it but no way. PDP is the master in this and APC and even some smaller parties has followed suit.

I would have commended your write up but it seems you're just another APC/Buhari sympathizer. Why don't you change the topic to 'PDP Negative Campaign in Nigeria' instead of giving us the notion that your real intention was to point out a small fault in the Nigerian politics. If you were fair enough you would have included another example from the APC's numerous propaganda against GEJ and PDP. This is lame!

Which rule of the thumb is that? I guess you made that up yourself. What you are to describe is called Negative Ads, usually done to discredit the candidature of one political enemy, it can either be a false propaganda or an allegation levelled against the person which a some autumn of truth in it, if it is false the affected person can sue the opponent that sponsored its airing for either libel or slander, defamation of character and so on. Its practise exist even within the political system of the united state. Make you research.

Do you know why they don't bother about intelligent manifestos? It's because we (as a people) like to fight dirty. Who cares about issue based campaign? Just tarnish the opponents' image by all means and afterward go around town sharing indomie, money and bags of rice and the people will vote for you (after all, the masses are easily bought over by cheap stuff).

We really have a long way to go in this country.

The masses (electorate) must learn to look beyond negative propaganda and cheap gifts handed out by politicians.

That's the only way real and positive change will come, if not, we will keep dancing around in circles.


Nicely put.

You're as biased as you can get for the following facts:
1. APC has been doing the negative propaganda from the get go. Even in America,political candidate do these things so its not a new thing. The crime of APC is that they're never patriotic at all. Here is an evidence to the effect.
https://www.nairaland.com/2192450/chronicle-apc-positions-boko-haram#31550741
2. APC deserve the backlash for being hypocritical in their stand by pointing at how corrupt GEJ is while they themselves are corruption personified.
3. Goodluck dont need to tell you anything else than his transformation agenda which is needed to attract investors and to encourage indigenous enterpreneurs so as to low price of goods and services through competition for markets and employees. Am shocked some Nigerians like you did not bother to find out what GEJ is doing before lining up yourself with APC-Buhari who is yet to tell us how they'll do their magic and 'change' Nigeria to Kuwait in 4years. They dont even want to debate.
4. APC has been doing their hateful campaign via sheer propaganda of lies and noises. That Chatam house stunt is a big shame cos they failed to acknowledge the root causes of the problems at hand and did not give concrete and achievable ways they can solve the problems. Buhari is just playing into our fancy,manipulating the electorate for his selfish political ambition. I rest my case. grin
