Before you critize me , what has jonathan done for the people of south west ? Except recently he bribed our obas , how many yorubas are in his cabinet? Besides all these jonathan is corrupt , gentle, wicked and weak. He has empied the external reserve account , he has borrowed a lot of money with nothing to show for it .voting him will do nigeria no good . Change is all we want

Yes something is wrong with me
But that won't deter me from voting him

What did buahri did for us when he was d head of state nd ptdf chairman

Are you more Yoruba than Tomakint? Are you more Yoruba than firefire? Are you more Yoruba than Obanikoro, Agbaje, Akala, Ooni, Ladoja, Scholes007 etc? As long as I don't disrespect the Yoruba nation, I don't think it is sane for you to try to stop me. Let me reiterate that MAJORITY signed up for Goodluck Jonathan and the Transformation Project! Jonathan Shall Lead Again....

You av done well bro, after March 28 these e-goats will believe you more!

It is better for the SW to vote APC and be equal partners in Buhari's administration THAN to vote PDP and be beggars seeking contracts and peanuts from Jonathan. - That is the fact.

ok,that's cool but I will like to know your reasons for supporting apc as an igboman as you claimed since ndigbo have no stake in apc unlike the yoruba people and please state your reasons why ndigbo should vote for apc.

U Tell Us na, Are u scared.. dnt worry put ur ref.
Pls After Election we are still brothers oo. Not d one u would b vexing around.

Sai Buhari

Lmao! Will never vex cuz of that na.. I've never insulted Yoruba people and I never will. I love my Igbo brothers as much as I love the Yorubas and other tribes in Nigeria apart from the Fulani and it's because of their killing spree..

Back to the matter at hand.

- Tai Solarin was no criminal but he was jailed. He was only distributing fliers when he was arrested

- Tunde Thompson, an innocent journalist was also jailed.

- Fela was jailed for a legally acquired wealth.

Mind you, i just listed a few SWerners that Buhari jailed for no reason. I'll advice you to read carefully, these links..

I also curled this one up from BBC website which seems to be in support of Buhari but did mention some of his failures:

As part of his "War Against Indiscipline", he ordered Nigerians to form neat queues at bus stops, under the sharp eyes of whip-wielding soldiers.
Civil servants who were late for work were publicly humiliated by being forced to do frog jumps.
He also introduced a notorious decree to restrict press freedom, under which two journalists were jailed.
However, his attempts to re-balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses.
As part of anti-corruption measures, he also ordered that the currency be replaced - the colour of the naira notes were changed - forcing all holders of old notes to exchange them at banks within a limited period.
Prices rose while living standards fell, leading to a palace coup by Gen Ibrahim Babangida on 27 August 1985. Mr Buhari was imprisoned for 40 months.

- Jonathan has failed. Performed below average.
- After Power leave the North, Ndigbo are more in line than anyone else if we lay the foundation today.
- With Buhari in charge and running the government as it should (one that serves Nigerians), Ndigbo have better opportunity to prosper.

These and many more. Sai Buhari.

Who is there dont matter, it about what is on ground especially across Nigeria. A new shift is what we are seeking for and the country restructure. We cant continue with the current structure and status quo a new generational Nigeria is in the air and no group of individuals should hold us to ransom. We must shift where we was in the last 50years that structure never worked. No stopping these wave of new Nigeria order.

GEJ is a war time president and I would rather give him a pass after all the obstacles opponents throw on his way to make sure his administration failed but surprisingly he survived.you want ndigbo to start from foundation in a party thief.nubu is already a landlord?it does not make sense to most igbos.the few of you supporting apc are doing so for your selfish reasons and you know that.btw,GEJ will win Saturday's election and send pa buhari to old people's home where he rightly belong.

We cannot give power to a mediocrity. The world has become so sophisticated and require a good learner to catch up with the globe. We are not looking for who will be president but who will do the work effectively and intelligently well. God bless a new Nigeria.

Jonathan wasting 5yrs on crisis that has been desiminated in less than 3weeks is a proof of failure. Most of the crisis that rocked Jonathan's administration were self inflicted or got worse because of inaction.

To say that Jonathan is smart is an insult to every Nigerian that lived through the failure of Jonathan's government. Please do not confuse the dubious actions of a greedy man, for Wisdom or Knowledge.

Did apc support the government war on terror?the answer is no.rather they became advocates of boko haram and even threatened to send Gen Ihejirika to the Hague when he was seriously dealing with boko.watch out for his term in office.it will be a different ball game.

Stop asking irrelevant questions. Is it a PDP or APC led government? Apart from blaming APC, tell how else Jonathan sort help from the opposition?

Jonathan built a federal university for Yoruba in Ekiti State. Jonathan raised the minimum wage of Yoruba civil servants to 18k from 7.5k. Jonathan built the Ore-Benin Express Way. Jonathan built Ibadan to Ilorin Express Way. Jonathan built Lagos-Ibadan Express way. Jonathan commissioned the power plant in Ogun. Jonathan refurbished the Lagos Airports. Jonathan paid Yoruba corp members 19.5 k allowee. Etc. etc. Now what did GMB do for Yoruba?

ok for u Buhari is the smart. No amount of rebranding will change the real person of Buhari. He is a chameleon and just pretending to get the seat. I know if OBJ comes back again u will vote for him abi. No group can hold us to ransom again they have done that 50years ago. We are stepping to a generation change of a new Nigeria. It a struggle to liberate Nigeria and change the past.

OP u are idiot. 1/2 Jonathan is better than million of buhari. Beside i knw your type brown ruff from osogbo. What gain would u benefit from those that think they are born to rule ... Setting Nigeria backward. GEj is a president of Nigeria not president of yoruba nation, he believe in resources equality and 100% sure that he will foto more for Nigeria.

Brother, egift is probably one of those fellows that knows nothing about Buhari but only buys the online imaging currently made of that Tyrant and cataclysmic failure called Buhari. Check this out, I curled it up from BBC..

As part of his "War Against Indiscipline", he ordered Nigerians to form neat queues at bus stops, under the sharp eyes of whip-wielding soldiers.
Civil servants who were late for work were publicly humiliated by being forced to do frog jumps.

Imagine a man whom his useless economic polices not only deterred development but also caused a huge drop in standard of living of the Nigerians, killed businesses, the rich became poor, the poor became poorer, many people lost their jobs, etc. Same man is now packaged to us for our votes.. God forbid!

It seems you are the one who is ignorant here. FYI, after Shagari's reelection, essentials commodities were already being rationed, the government squander the oil boom then and were borrowing to pay salaries. (Does it sound familiar like Jonathan?)

When Buhari came to power, IMF and others were ready to give him loan in turn Naira will be devalued. Buhari refused, introduced austerity measures, retained the value of Naira, cut excessive corruption, recovered looted funds that were stashed away by changing the design of all the currency in circulation (so either you brought out your stash or it will be useless within few months). Corruption was fought to a standstill.

You can insult Buhari all you want but just know he is not your regular Zoologist. All criminals in Nigeria fear him - go ask why.

If u don't know what GEJ has done for the yorubas, then u are not in Nigeria. Come to think of it, why asking what GEJ has done for u people? What about what OBJ your brother did for u when he was president? Change can be from good to bad. But transformation is only for the good.

And why was the masses made to suffer all that? It means that measures taken by him wasn't the right one after all because at the end, the masses paid the price for a poor economic policy..

They've refused to give us those contracts o, i know this for a fact. In addition to that this government has been totally useless

As I said before, you are better of sticking to issue you know. You may not vote Buhari, but don't blame him ignorantly.

Let me rephrase:
- Before Buhari came to power as Head of State, Shagari had already plunged the economy into a mess (that is why many people celebrated it).
- When they came to power, Buhari and his team had to make very tough decisions to fight the major challenges of Nigeria at that time. Like maintaining peace, stopping lawlessness, stop looting of government funds, stop those that were dumping hard drugs in Nigeria, keep the economy from collapsing, fight insurgence, etc.
- When Buhari left over after 20 months the economy was already stable and recovering.
- But IBB reversed some of the tasking decision Buhari made like fighting corruption, IMF loans, etc. And before you know it, everything was a mess. Apart from Jonathan's administration, IBB ran the most corrupt government in history of Nigeria. Even IBB said himself that with the volume of looting under Jonathan, that he should be consider a Saint.

Buhari deserve our support in this election. There is no single Nigerians that has been scrutinized like Buhari for 30 good years and nothing found on him.

It is Jonathan vs Nigerians. Sai Buhari.

Now am going to counter you with facts and accompanying links. You should have done same.

Do you even know that GMB left the economy in shambles and worst than when he came in because people were dying in hunger. The good reason why people also celebrated his ousting by IBB.. Quotes and links below:

Like maintaining peace, stopping lawlessness, stop looting of government funds, stop those that were dumping hard drugs in Nigeria, keep the economy from collapsing, fight insurgence, etc.

-What peace did he maintain?
-He stopped lawlessness by infringing the rights of the Nigerian people. He killed journalism in Nigeria, let us not forget that.
-He stopped looting of government funds for politicians who were not his friends. His friends were immune to his fight against corruption. Examples are Emir Gwandu, Shehu Shagari, etc. Simply put, he was biased. A man placed at his level as an "incorruptible" man shouldn't have been biased in dishing out justice. If you want to fight corruption, fight it all round not that tomorrow we will start hearing that only PDP officials were convicted while APC officials were not even tried. We need equal justice.
-On his actions towards drug dealers and armed robbers, I commend him for that.
- Your statement about keeping the economy from collapsing is actually an opposite because the economy was almost already dead before IBB stepped in. You can check the link above for this.
You can check the links below I utilized to back up my statements.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammadu_Buhari

- When Buhari left over after 20 months the economy was already stable and recovering.

I've addressed this huge lie above. But let me chip in something, had Buhari allowed Shehu Shagari to complete the revolutionary Ajaokuta Steel Industry while in office, the steel sector of the Nigerian economy would have provided not less that 2.5 million jobs. Apart from that, private businesses suffered while many closed down, many people lost their jobs while graduates of his era were largely unemployed, 200,000 Civil servants suffered retrenchment plus humiliation at work place, etc. You can check the links I provided above.

- But IBB reversed some of the tasking decision Buhari made like fighting corruption, IMF loans, etc. And before you know it, everything was a mess. Apart from Jonathan's administration, IBB ran the most corrupt government in history of Nigeria. Even IBB said himself that with the volume of looting under Jonathan, that he should be consider a Saint.

You know you are not telling yourself the truth if you think anybody can ever reach the corruption level of IBB or OBJ in Nigerian history. Who eliminated middle men in the fertilizer deals? Who eliminated 50,000 ghost workers from Civil service? Who saw that electoral fraud was eliminated? Here is a cut from Sun news online which the person in question made reference to data he obtained from Transparency International:

According to Transparency In­ternational’s data from 1979 till date, the tenures of both General Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo were more corrupt than the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan. The details are trending online.

The data also showed that un­der the administration of President Jonathan, Nigeria has recorded its best score in the Corruption Per­ception Index (CPI) since 1979. This is in complete contrast to the sordid picture of rampant corrup­tion being painted by the opposi­tion, ardent critics of the Jonathan administration and much of the media in the last few years – espe­cially in the build up to the general elections.

Buhari deserve our support in this election. There is no single Nigerians that has been scrutinized like Buhari for 30 good years and nothing found on him.

[b]How was Buhari scrutinized? Who scrutinized him? How effective were the people, panel that scrutinized him? Is it new the Buhari doled out our $2.8billion (fund misappropriation) dollars into his and Obj's account during his time serving as Petroleum Minister while OBJ was head of state. Shehu Shagari set up a panel that found him not guilty (padi padi panel) but still maintained there was lapses in the account. No wonder when GMB ousted Shehu Shagari, he preferred him under house arrest while his vice was jailed (a favour for a favour).

It's also not new that GMB doled out our moneys illegally, into the military (Abacha and co) account during his time as PTF chairman. GMB prefers using the guise "incorruptible" to enrich his croonies while he had a few share stacked out somewhere and still claimed incorruptible. Probably he felt that a wealth to his croonies is a wealth to him.

Point of correction, Jonathan Vs the most corrupt set and past military heads.

lame answers and statements, who wants to lay foundation with you and people like mbadinuju, a reject in anambra state but stalwart in apc... your previous tribe tainted answers have removed the steam... there's obviously no space for others in your party aside 2 ethnic groups.

believe so at your peril
