franchasng:The will never have the popularity because people like you have continued to live in assumptions. Who made Buhari popular? Who made Atiku popular? Is it not those called common people? Keep thinking backward |

abbeyfel:A wise man understands timing. It is not sufficient to know the right thing without knowing the right Time. It is next to impossible for duke to win an election in 2019. He is even ill prepared cos he never planned to run in 2019 bt declared all of a sudden for reasons best known to him. I still have my reservations about how patriotic he is with he’s okonjo iweala revelation saga and his association of friends trying toy with the country’s goodwill under goodluck |

Donald Duke knows his onions no doubt considering his notch-up performances when he was a governor but at this moment we need a BULLDOZER to offset the clueless and adamant General so as to clear the way for an emerging new Nigeria which everyone has long been waiting for.Where our religion or tribe will not determine where we should be or not be.Where rule of law will be upheld and where we can go to sleep with two eyes close.Where basic necessities of life will become one of those things. |

jaxxy:Keep suffering and smilling...instead of doing what is right by voting the Leader whom you al know has proved his is proper for the job. Even your grand children will still tell their friends that "it is not his time"....na so sufferness don dabaru una brain reach. What you people are not saying is that Atiku-looter has bought you over with a very tiney fraction of your money that he looted in the Privatisation scam he supervised. |

jaxxy:Time will never be right if we dnt make it so. Now is the best time to start anything. Delaying is called procrastination... |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by jaxxy(m): 7:56am On Nov 09, 2018 |
abbeyfel:Bt do u realize if u do the right thing at the wrong time u can or will fail?? Do u understand the concept? His chances are slim based on the favored area of choice sensitivities in 2019, he is very unprepared also. Read my modified post. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by abbeyfel: 8:12am On Nov 09, 2018 |
jaxxy:The best time is now or never. If he is not right now, when will he? We will say same in the next election also. Same happened to the likes of Pat Utomi, Chris Okotie, Gani Fawehinmi, Harry Akande, Tunde Bakare, and others. We leave them to drain of whatsoever strength, character, reason and resources to keep contesting. Trust me, the time will never be right if we dont start shaking tables now. And to say Donald is unprepared shows you have never listened or watch him. Dude is super ready. Follow is facebook page to find out... |

jaxxy:Every politician is faced with one allegation or the other. Most times, the news tell us what they have been paid to release. Check out Cross River state for his achievements. Thats all that matters. Every other thing is called political propaganda... |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by jaxxy(m): 8:24am On Nov 09, 2018 |
abbeyfel:A personal account from a reputable lady who has no issues with him is not propaganda. He also didn’t deny or explain himself from such. Look at his achievements sure bt didn’t abacha and Babangida have achievements? That’s not the only yardstick especially if u have other major flaws and tendencies. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by abbeyfel: 8:34am On Nov 09, 2018 |
jaxxy:You mention Abacha and Ibb?? Wow! Tell me one monumental achievement by Abacha? You dont vote base on emotions or feelings. We need a willing heart and mindset ready to make things work. Trust me, Okonjo's outburst was released to weaken Donald politically. Donald was obviously against her paymaster, Goodluck! If achievements does not really matter, what does then ![]() |

| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by highbeekeys(m): 9:38am On Nov 09, 2018 |
NwaAmaikpe:the only problem here is the fact that your aim is to send buhari back to daura and not what the future holds for you under any of these men. I'm scared for Nigeria's treasury under an atiku led government. it's not vote splitting, it's being wise. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by jaxxy(m): 9:57am On Nov 09, 2018 |
abbeyfel:Achievements are good don’t get me wrong bt there other factors that can discredit a person based own the interest and way of achieving their objectives if it doesn’t align with good character or practices. It’s like saying Ure fighting corruption bt yet disregarding the rule of law or Ure carrying out development by its just to favor ur cronies or personal interests. These can not be considered exactly as good governance. His issues with iwela maybe an outburst the also an valid concern still at that. Besides performance certain character flaws of a leader depending on the degree shud be a concern like sabotaging the country for personal interests or gains is not a good mark. I’m not exactly accusing him of this tho. On Atiku we know his flaws and he has even accepted his flaws and on a part to correct them that is why I feel he shud be given a chance. A man who acknowledges his errors is wiser and better than the one who outrightly refuses to. I want to believe Pdp as a party have also learnt sm lesson tho they still have work to do. Dukes time may come bt it is certainly not now for many reasons, regional sensitivities and he only joined the 2019 race kind of unsure and unplanned to me. It’s either pmb or Atiku for now as it stands. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by jaxxy(m): 10:04am On Nov 09, 2018 |
highbeekeys:If buhari can lead this country properly and effectively out of its many issues(herdsmen, bad economy, corruption, rule of law) I don’t mind voting for him again like I did it 2015 based on principles bt he can’t and his govt or party can’t also. There are many internal conflicts and interests in Apc/buharis administration to have sensible policies or leadership. I hv studied the beyond the actions, hypocrisy and elections gimmicks. I’m reading the handwriting on the wall. |

Daboomb:You 're the son of your father bro, but it's quite unfortunate that reasonable people like you 're just few in Number,that's why nigeria will remain perpetual stagnant. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by mank1234(m): 10:16am On Nov 09, 2018 |
obembet:As far as this election is concern, it's between Atiku and PMB. Any vote elsewhere is equivalent to no vote and that's if vote will even count. The question is who is the lesser evil between them. In the last election we were presented with this same scenerio. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by Ebukaokeke5: 10:18am On Nov 09, 2018 |
NwaAmaikpe:You must out of your mind,while we see a man with the kind of credibility attributed to Mr Duke in the excerpts above, you want Nigerians to sell their conscience and vote a man or a set that would see the nations wealth as a business opportunity than service resources. it wouldn't work for you. All true Nigerians vote goes to Mr. Donald Duke for a better and wealthier Nigeria. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by mank1234(m): 10:30am On Nov 09, 2018 |
Daboomb:This is the mindset that will liberate Nigeria from these fraudsters. You're truly educated. But unfortunately, 80% of Nigerians don't see things this way because religion, poverty and illiteracy(not certificate this time) has blinded them. These set of people only know PDP vs APC, broom vs umbrella. These are the people that do double voting, ballot stuffing and snatching, intimidation of voters etc. What you stated up there is the ideal and until poverty and education improves to a certain level it cannot work. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by marvinsync(m): 11:08am On Nov 09, 2018 |
Daboomb:u don't seem to get his point , these people can't win , why would u vote for people that can't win? and who should we vote for ? u listed 5 people can all of them win? won't u just be splitting votes? the most important thing right now is getting buhari out and voting for people that'll split votes won't do that |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by marvinsync(m): 11:10am On Nov 09, 2018 |
abbeyfel:the answer to your question is go to the market woman on ur street and ask her who is Donald duck and then ask her who is atiku and then you'll know that their time is not now |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by omoharry(f): 12:00pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
franchasng:I concur..Atiku is the necessary idiot that we need in taking out Buhari,..nobody else has that strength right now. I am getting my pass sport ready and will fight hard to ensure it is open. if Buhari returns back to power either be hook or crook, i am running far and never looking back until he is out..I wont be here when his kinsmen will now take their killings nation wide to another level.Right now they have calmed down because of the election approaching but i bet you if Buhari comes back as president, the headmen will be more vicious in their attacks and while their patron will pretend and play deaf and dumb and the same time he will be doing the needful..and hand-twisting the law in providing land for his killers kinsmen for free across the nation , so that they can spread as far as they can go...you guys know the end result. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by COOL10(m): 12:03pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
abbeyfel:. Nigerians are making the same mistake all over again. One begins to wonder if they haven't learnt anything in the past three years. They see well meaning,young and responsible candidates like Duke and Durotoye but choose to support dudes like Buhari and Atiku? Damn!!!! How do people even think? It's disgusting |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by omoharry(f): 12:10pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
Nukilia:see we dont expect him to fight corruption like Buhari promised to when he comes into office..he can do that by creating institutions where govt official will not be able to steal money with ease as they use to .we just want Buhari to go because of what he represent..at least we will know we are are fighting against under-performing government than a jihadist who is no only dull but out of touch with the modern happenings around him. If Atiku messes up..we will change him..until we finally get it right..at least it will send a message to bad leaders that if they under perform they will be booted out of office.Except the electoral institution becomes badly compromised...like the time of moris Iwu... |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by PhenomenalMorgan(m): 12:19pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
Daboomb:NwaAmaikpe made a point!!! Winning state govt elections is not the same thing with winning a presidential elections, Donald duke should work on his public perception and popularity across Nigeria, The sad truth is that u who knows that he is competent would want to vote for him but those in the North with little education and awareness will vote based on religious and tribal sentiments and its so sad that they have the large numbers!!! |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by PhenomenalMorgan(m): 12:29pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
mank1234:Bravo, u clearly spoke my mind!!! |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by highbeekeys(m): 1:23pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
jaxxy:the truth is I'm tired of voting.. I don't think anything different can come from atiku, same old corruption stories is certain, who even knows what d next group of agitators or terrorists or insurgents would arise under him. either I stay with what I know or I vote ANN or SDP. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by franchasng: 1:37pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
omoharry:The only people that will ignorantly help Buhari win and continue his glaring destruction of Nigeria are the Yorubas, if not for them, Buhari will witness a landslide defeat in 2019 that will make him weep and regret his evil leadership style ![]() Running away is not even the solution, because if u run away, what about your relatives, beloved friends, community folks and many more. We really need to find ways to savage Nigeria from evil leaders like Buhari and co |

jrusky:Donald Duke is the best candidate at the moment. |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by Nobody: 5:14pm On Nov 09, 2018 |
If continue to vote based on sentiment, we can never develop as a nation |
| Re: Why Donald Duke Remains Our Best Option by abbeyfel: 12:06am On Nov 11, 2018 |
marvinsync:The question is do you know Duke? Cos I guess everyone on nairaland does! |
