People, especially the APC has grossly underestimated the popularity of GEJ while grossly overestimating the influence of GMB. But Saturday will correct this odious error for good! |

kekakuz:Sir, We don't have close to a million PhD holders in Nigeria. We don't even have close to 500,000. Let us do simple maths. Lets say each of our 150 Universities have 500 PhD holders, that gives only 75,000. Now let us be generous and say we have this number in all our other institution of higher learning in Nigeria, that gives 150,000 total. Now let us account for those in private sector and other places, with 10,000. It therefore implies without much ado that we have less than 200,000 Phd holders in Nigeria. My brother, PhD no be maimai! |

courage54:Arrant nonsense. Jonathan is a friend of Youths. Otherwise, there won't be YOUWin and TEEP, giving youths the opportunity of funding for their business proposals.. Which other government in Nigeria has ever granted youths cash of N2m to N10m per winner ? There has always been unemployment even since year 2,000 when some of us here on this forum graduated from school. Was GEJ your leader at that time ? |

| Re: Independent Surveys Give Jonathan Edge Over Buhari by 400billionman: 1:15pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
The truth is that about 40% of Nairalanders don't have PVC's inspite of being educated and eligible to vote. Among the 60% that have PVCs, 30% of them may not vote due to fear of going out on election day or indecision. In the end only 42% of these online warriors may vote on 28 march. So the Likes we garner here on Nairaland do not count. Online polls do not count. Real life face to face questionnaires and polls are what count. In addition, nairaland does not have up to One million active members, some members here have 4 monickers.. |

Some of the people blind folded by the APC toga of 'change' do not clearly understand what they are getting into, while I agree that you have some decent elements in the party APC. Yes decent human beings that are better respected and even I regard as great mentors of society and generations to come. This class of people are well liked and highly respected individuals that you may not compare them with some rascals and truants that you may find in other parties. I often wonder why the APC is a party filled with 'strange bed fellows', if you check the composition of the APC you would discover that it is a party filled predominantly of desperate and disgruntled politicians from the PDP and other parties. As a young boy my dad often warned me not to have any form of dealings with a desperate individual and that by so doing I would have my fingers burnt and regret it afterwards. As he would say "a desperate man can kill", this frightening words have never left my mind since I was a boy. A lot of young people do not understand what dangers these desperate men you currently have in the APC portends to the security, peace and unity of Nigeria as a country that's why I call on the decent few I have earlier described that are still within their rank and file, and also young boys and girls who never knew the antecedents of these desperate characters to please 'shine your eyes'. Pastor Tunde Bakare even said it better "I trust Buhari but I don't trust the environment that he is in". Get this right Buhari is not a demon, nor is he demented but matter of fact is that as the saying goes "The evil that men do lives with them". Buhari's and his many sins 1. Human rights: Because of Buhari and Babaginda, Fela Anikulapo Kuti composed several songs like 'Overtake don overtake overtake', 'Animal in human skin', 'Animal can't dash us human rights'. Fela may have been a 'prophet' of his time. I agree with him though in some of his words, if you have abused the rights of others you can't turn around now and pretend to 'dash' us human rights under the pretence of Change. A leopard cannot change its spots. Buhari ceased power in 1983 and systematically abused Nigerians of their rights of justice and fair hearing. Politicians were accused of bogus crimes of corruption and tried under kangaroo courts, while there may have been a few who were corrupt, the innocent were not spared. They were given heavy sentencing some as much as 323 years. The trauma such people as Ambrose Ali faced in prison was what killed him afterwards. Like Ahmadu Bello, Ambrose Ali after massively developing Bendel state had to his credit only one small bungalow in his home town. 2. Decree 4 and Decree 2: He was infamous for his constant harassment of the Press and Civil rights groups as a means of concealing the truth from ordinary Nigerians. At will he threw people into jail without any form of charge and such journalist as Nduka Irabor would tell you of their experiences. Some were tortured and are still traumatised till today, some even lost their lives in the process. 3. Ghana must go: As a child growing up our economy was booming and as such we had a lot of foreigners living around us. We had Asians especially Indians and Pakistanis, Eastern Europeans and of course Africans all running from economic hardships in their countries. Some were professionals and experts in their fields and we also had artisans and others who did menial labour, we had some Africans who were professionals but most were involved in menial work. Interestingly of all these sets of people that were in Nigeria Buhari singled out Ghanians and sent them packing without any form of compensation and compassion. If you must note during the civil war a lot of Nigerians ran to Ghana to take cover even Nnamdi Azikiwe schooled in Ghana. Some of these Nigerians that escaped the civil war married their Ghanian girl friends and boy friends and returned to Nigeria after the war was over. To be sent packing in such a manner was indeed callous, and painfully some were forced to leave with just only a bag irrespective of the wealth or properties that they had accumulated from decent hard work. So young people as you go out to the shops to buy that 'Ghana must go' bag without knowing truly why they call those bags with such a name, now you know. 4. Economic policies: I don't need again to explain to you that Buhari is bereft of ideas when it comes to economic issues and the handling of the economy. Start with the reprinting of the naira when he ceased power. As a boy we were jubilant that we were seeing the new face of the naira, what we didn't understand then was the economic impact and the implications. His excuse for doing so was that corrupt politicians who had stolen funds hidden under their beds may not be able to exchange their cash for the new currency. The impact of this together with his import license policy helped to devalue the naira and rubbish it's exchange power. Before he ceased power the naira had a strong exchange value against major currencies for decades the naira had been exchanging for £1.00/N2.00 and $1.00/0.60 kobo. For the first time ever it was during Buhari's regime that the naira started to depreciate in value. It's laughable when now he is the same person shouting that naira is exchanging at $1.00/N220.00. Even with this all is not lost as the Chinese and Japanese constantly and intentionally devalue their currency as a means to curbing dumping of products and hence boosting local production. Now the desperate politicians are encouraging him to make promises like building four refineries, free education, free lunch, monthly stipends and allowances for jobless youths and so on without proper economic planning and drafting. 5. Irresponsible utterances: His irresponsible utterances especially with disregard to its security implications have cost some Nigerians their lives and properties. He had said "The baboons and monkeys would be soaked in their blood" who are these baboons and monkeys? His utterances during and after the elections of 2011 were not helpful either. How do you place your self interest above the lives of the innocent and even the nation? Al Gore knew he won the elections but he allowed the interest of America to over shadow his personal interest. Even my dearly beloved Baba Obasanjo allowed the general interest of Nigeria to subdue his personal interest and agenda of running for office as President for a third term. To me that's being a true statesman. 6. Irresponsible actions and inactions: When people were being killed in 2011 under the guise of defending their votes as encouraged by Buhari. He did not come out to make an immediate statement or plea for these miscreants to stop forthwith. 7. The costs of crating Umaru Dikko: Before he parcelled Umaru Dikko in a crate Nigerians had easy access into the United Kingdom (UK) and USA. With a return ticket costing only N500 and just your passport you can travel into these countries without a visa, but his brute approach cost us dearly, the UK came down heavily on Nigerians and withdrew the privileges of travelling under a common wealth of nations. They went further and started denying citizenship to Nigerians born in the UK. 8. Total disregard to women: Initially when contacted on his opinion of the office of the first lady, he had said that he would scrap this office as it had no meaning nor place in his administration. However, having faced a lot of backlash and criticism from Nigerians and international organisations he is forced to go against his will of incorporating women in his government should he win. Now you may find a repackaged Aisha Buhari frying akara (bean cake) in Abuja. Even if APC do not agree with it, GEJ has remained the only government in Nigeria that has worked for the cause of fully incorporating and representing women in government. 9. Islamic agenda: His penchant for fighting the cause and fully supporting sharia is not hidden to many. As such the christian north are wary of supporting him. The fear generally in the minds of people is that this unrepentant supporter of sharia may well be the trump card or joker for Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) or maybe ISIS currently on a jihaddist campaign, if you would recall boko haram that pledged allegiance to ISIS had nominated Buhari as it's spokesman. Please truth be told, Nigerians be wary of desperate politicians who are serving their own interest, again I repeat Buhari is a good man and his intentions may have been good but his sins are living with him. The environment that he currently finds himself is one of suspicion and not to be trusted as Chinua Achebe describes it 'Things fall apart and the center cannot hold' that is what the APC stands for.

courage54:looking at ur post, u look clueless for all I care. Can u mention a govt that schools didn't go on strike during its tenure? Can u also tell me d govt that didn't increase fuel prices or were there was no fuel scarcity? As hypocritical as ur write up can be,it cannot make buhari d next president. Mind u,no govt have created a lot of jobs than this govt. There transformation agenda is the way forward. Since u r blind by Goodluck Jonathan's successes, u can also be blind abt general buhari's many deficiencies. Come March 28 & may 28 all u against GEJ will eat ur own words. |

Is only the ingrate,parasites, and violence kind Northerners, who never seen anygood in GEJ admin. You guys must remember that your CHANGE master, was among those that ruled Nigeria for the past yrs without any Almajiri school but GEJ built 120 modern Almajiris schools. GEJ did a lot for North but due the mentality of born to rule, they prefer to kill him by all means but mind you that GMB had it 3 times failure n I promise you, he will fail d last in his political career! |

400billionman:Who is talking about nairaland? I have met so many people in real life here in Lagos and Abuja and the verdict is the same- GEJ has failed and we need change! Everybody hasnt forgotten what Jonathan has put the country through. Why are some people trying to make it look like people are happy with GEJ in real life? MOST people that are supporting GEJ know he has failed but are driven by personal economy and ethnic/religious sentiments.. Never before have Nigerians opposed a civilian president like they have done to GEJ.. Cant u see ? All the PDP does is tell us why we shouldnt vote for GMB not why we should vote for GEJ.. On the streets, its 'Sai baba' everywhere.. Didnt GEJ and PDP know that a time like this would come when they will need the same people they failed to provide for ? Didnt he know that he would need the votes of the relatives of the victims of the immigration scam ? He didnt know he would need the people buying fuel at a higher rate than Yar' Adua left it ? He expects Nigerians to forget cos he shared a few notes of Naira ? |

montedo:You talked about fuel price and immigration scam. Has there been any regime where fuel price kept reducing ? Or Niara kept adding value against the dollar ? Yes, people are opposing his administration because his regime supports the highest level of freedom of speech, freedom of information and use of social media. No one is being questioned, watched, hounded, witch hunted for what he typed or posted online or in extreme cases assassinated. That is true leadership. Nigeria is in deep shiit and it was not created in one day. The most positive thing about GOODLUCK is that he has no enemies. You cannot say that about OBJ or his predecessors. OBJ shut down IBETO cement and SAVANNAH bank to witchhunt his enemies. GEJ plays politics without rancour. OBJ still wants to decide the destiny of another leader. Have you ever been in a sitiation where someone vows to fruatrate you ? Can you say that Buhari plays rancourless politics looking closely at his past regime ? Are you short memoried to forget the high profile assassinations that went unravelled in previous administrations ? Are you trying to tell me that prominent Nigerians will be murdered for example, a serving federal minister and the police, army or DSS will have no information relating to the murder ? What were they being paid for ? When I hear people ridicle GOODLUCK supporters, what I see are people with very short memories or blinded with hate. GOODLUCK is salvaging a delapidated structure called Nigeria, to compound his job were those who threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable and luckily for them boko haram was at their beck and call. It is Nigerians that are sponsoring boko haram. Are you not aware ? And boko sponsorship can only be successfully running for years owing to a person with long military intelligence. That is the country we belong to. We have a lot of wicked people in this country. Okay, some of you ridicle the efforts of the Nigerian Army at tackling boko haram, and end up praising the terrorists for being stronger, yet it is moles in the army that are crippling the efforts of the nations military at fighting terrorism. Have you been unaware of the gradual de-industrialization of the country where many companies kept closing shop and leaving Nigeria to establish operations in nearby African countries and South Africa ? Who is currently industrializing this nation if not GOODLUCK ? I last boarded trains in 1992, after over 20 years the trains are back, who did it ? I keep remembering the woes of buying fuel in fuelling stations standing on long queues, driving far distances to visit NNPC mega stations only to be able to get fuel at the normal pump price. Today, everyone everywhere enters fuel stations and buys fuel under 2 minutes telling us that it was only the wickedness of past administrations that made buying fuel in stations to look like rocket science. If you are very sincere with yourself, you would agree that nothing was working in this country before GOODLUCK became president Even in 1995 through year 2,000 there were no jobs for new graduates, i had seniors and sibblings who graduated around that time. I don't want to go on with this treatice. I personally, I am disappointed with Nigeria. It pains me when I see many able bodied men and women beg shamelessly to eat. Many at times, people walk up to me, Sir, please can you give me N100 or N200, sometimes N50 ? Nigeria needs fixing, this is not a job for an illiterate and a person who lacks natural intelligence and self development capacity. Who will just enter there and start witchhunting people thinking he is busy doing the right job. I once had such a boss, they are nuisance. |
