Really? Asking for evidence?

Obyyyyy !!!
Yes evidence of buhari speaking against a coalition force when that was on of campaign promises.

He spoke against other troops coming to fight boko haram on Nigerian soil rather than help secure their borders. Nigerian troops only will fight on Nigerian soil.

Na wa o,are you all trying to say you couldn't hear anything from what he said undecided ?
C'mon!!!! you need to stop hating your leader and speak positive.....I am so sure 99.9% of all of you shouting ,screaming and lamenting about his speech can't draft a reasonable one and yet you choose to take your time to type s*it about your president when you ought to use that time to learn the POWER OF UNDERSTANDING.. Majority of you can't lead a crowd of 1500 let alone a Nation (haters tongue) ....As for me ,I think understanding is the koko.

@ PRYCE and zicoraads: Jonathan's incompetence and failures is the reason why we are at the stage we are now. If he had not presided over the exportation of Terror, he may have even still be president.

A little spark that Jonathan met in 2010 is now a wildfire burning the forest, and you are here asking why Buhari is deploying tanks of water (multi-national force) and not the bucket of water that was suggested when it was just a candle flame.
The keep posting a link that clearly talked about Nigeria allowing itself fall deep into insurgency that we now need our neighbors to help with the fight.

I believe the contention there was foreign troops on our soil. And yes as at the time Chadian troops were reclaiming Nigerian territories from boko haram
It is on record that Buhari said his government will tackle insurgency alone.

His actions after taking over power does not reflect same.

Is this a direct quote? on what record pls, i would like a link to it. Below is a direct quote from Buhari far back in February in an interview with aljazeera.

If you were to get to Aso Rock…



If we get there, and God willing we shall, it is to see first
why and how the Nigerian military’s credibility has been
seriously undermined by this government. And then we
have to quickly see how much they need because there are
enough of them that are committed to perform their duties
to defend their country. And with the cooperation of the
neighbouring states,
as they have started now, to flush
Boko Haram out of Nigeria.

If you can't even acknowledge the massive looting that took place under Jonathan, then we really don't have much to discuss.
Happy Independence Day!
And thesame to you!

I have a lot to say but I fear we'll end in a stalemate. The Thing is even Buhari doesn't share the confidence you guys up in here have in him (judging by his remarks bout his limitations @72) . I think The confidence you guys have in him is what spurs him on GOOD FOR HIM! But the sooner you guys accept that the man's human a weary one at that, the better for your expectations!. I think the bashing Buhari gets across the country revolves partly around you guys practical worship of him... Jonathan GCFR tried his best, I criticised him where necessary which you guys never do of Buhari. You can't refute some of his achievements! They are glaring... the oppostion just tends to downplay em and cloak his achievements under the robe of corruption!

- The trust Nigeria have in Buhari is not accidental, it is borne out of decades of proven integrity. (A good name is better than wealth - King Solomon).

- At 72 Buhari should be resting, but he is President today because we cannot continually watch PDP and Jonathan destroy our great country with perpetual and massive corruption and impunity that subverts the laws of the land.

- Jonathan tried his best, but it is grossly insufficient. He lacked control of governance. He could not even call those undermining him to order. Today both members of APC and PDP are very careful not to undermine Buhari. If you do so, there will be consequences.

- Jonathan's achievement? Please don't make me laugh. Even Jonathan were not promoting the little they accomplished - they were just but insulting and labouring hard to tarnish the good name of Buhari instead of promoting what they have done and their plans for the future. Fayose publishing what Jonathan did would have been better than advertising an obiturary against Buhari.

Finally, if you like replay the 2015 election of GEJ vs GMB a million times, I will vote Buhari - he is better than Jonathan in all capacity (personality, understanding the problems, leadership qualities, etc).

The problem is that a lot of people chose to read a different meaning into what he said. His words were quite clear. What he was against was the fact that foreign troops were fighting on our soil and that the foreign troops actually had to take up a greater share of the task of fighting Boko Haram. Check out the huge difference between his words that were quoted on this thread and the actual title of the thread.

Today we appreciate God for giving us the opportunity to start witnessing the change we campaigned for. No man is free of fault so i will want to appreciate all those who have taken their time to criticize the Buhari led administration in his 4 months administration and not the wailing wailers who even when given the best lens cannot see any good in this administration, no matter how much good you present to them.
*we will all agree with me that the power supply has increase though the administration have not spent a dime in the sector but his body language i believe has had much impact
*some people have seen Saraki's trial as been pushed from behind, may be maybe not but the point still remain that if you dont have a skeleton in your cupboard nobody will have what to blackmail you with. as it is said 'there is no smoke without fire' and our elders will say 'enitioba jegbi kolee kugbi' so if saraki is not guilty of the 13-count charge time will tell.
*on PMB's appointment before the ministerial list came late yesterday, i want to agree with those who have said its loopsided but however i will want you to agree with me that none of these people have been accused of corruption even by the opposition party. this we should note.
*on the late arrival of the list, i want to believe that September 30 is yet to end when the list came in
SO KEEP THE LIST OF HIS INACTIONS COMING INAS LONG AS THEY ARE CONSTRUCTIVE AND FACTUAL, WE THE SUPPORTERS (NOT WORSHIPPERS) OF BUHARI WE ACCEPT AND CORRECT SOME WRONG NOTION.





THIS IS THE CHANGE WE NEED

States or countries?

And are you saying that Reuters and everyone who carried the news at the time misquoted him?

Neighboring states is very different from neighbouring countries.

I am in Lagos, my neighboring state is Ogun state and co.

It is needless to point out that APC as a whole was against Ebele's movement at the time.

Bishop Bagobiri made certain allegations which I'd like people on this thread to counter or agree upon.

Concerning the Islamic sect attacks, before Buhari came into power, is there any evidence of him, as a true nationalist condemning in strong terms, the killings that happened in the North?

Buhari as a matter of fact advised the Gej as far back as 2012 to secure our borders with neighboring countries, unfortunately i can't find that link now. I am shocked you guys are saying the president was against a regional coalition.
This is the say way some will say Buhari was against negotiations with boko haram when gej was president.

Btw countries are referred to as states especially in diplomatic terms

What PMB was particularly against was foreign troops fighting on our soil and outperforming our own troops in a war that is clearly ours. He was never against collaborating with our neighbors but if you have any quotes where he condemned such collaboration, please share it.

Try read his statements with open mind.

2. "Having known how the Boko Haram developed, what I
would have personally done differently would be to get the
Presidents of Cameroun, Chad and Niger together to say,
‘look our borders are porous and that we are not able to
effectively protect them and monitor movements of people
in and out of our territory, but please make sure that you do
not provide training facilities or allow people to be coming
into the county.’ "(technically, this is a statement about the
past, but I'll allow it since he can do it when he gets into
power)

Shifting the goal post.

I remember a debate I had with a few people in 2012. They said that Buhari never condemned the 2011 post election violence. I showed them proof that he did condemn it. They said they wanted more evidence, so I provided audio evidence. One of them then said that he should have condemned it in hausa language on BBC Hausa. I showed him proof that Buhari did condemn the violence in hausa language on BBC Hausa. He then said that the Sultan should have condemned it. I am sure that if I had shown him proof that the Sultan condemned it, he would have said that the Emir of Kano should have condemned it.
