For a man that has his kind of cult following to ever tolerated up to this level is deserving of high accolades. He has been hounded,his family attacked, death wishes thrown at him and even some thugs have vowed to resist all attempts to make him get sworn in if elected.
Fayose has been hounding him.All what he is saying is that let elections hold and Nigerians decide,is it too much to ask for?
APC has chosen its candidate, even if wheel chair bound,its for Nigerians to reject such a candidate and not that of PDP or any agency of it.
The line has been drawn and followers of buhari have been sensitized.The opposition can criticise him if they want,based on policies, past records,but any attempt to incite hate wud be met in equal fold and any attempt to scuttle elections wud be catastrophic for all involved.
And what did the opposition say about the late Yaradua, his health, the government and the PDP. Why are they suddenly falling apart. Go check the archives man. These things did not start today. You're only shocked at the hate because it is coming your way. Kindly step out of the mud, be objective, elevate your thinking and the hurt goes away. It is what your party has planted. Amaechi alone has said and done worse than Fayose. Did you complain. Be honest.

of all the insults,I don't think anyone has ever wished gej or his wife death before. There should be a limit.
If there is anything I have spoken extensively on Nairaland this is it. That the PDP had become too docile in power and the APC too brash, too confident in opposition.

Why is it that Nigerians never like a balance. Why can't we ever see the big picture. Why do we want a competition of only one contestant. Why. How many times was Lai Mohammed warned against the very things been complained about.

I said it then that the APC was schooling the PDP on just how dirty politics could be. Is this graduation a surprise.

THE IGNORANCE I AM READING HERE MAKES ME SAD

PART OF THE PEACE ACCORD AGREEMENT WAS TO "DESIST FROM PERSONAL INSULTS AND INFLAMMATORY STATEMENTS"

pdp has violated that severally.
I am a politically neutral person but buhari is right on this one.

LOOK AT ALL THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND INSULTS COMING FROM JONA'S CAMP.
That is a breach of agreement.

It is too late for your postulations. Just like capping campaign funding this is impossible to attain. The APC started it. I warned severally about it. People did not listen. It is the route we chose. You cannot change the rules after a goal is scored. The APC over 4 years has discredited the present government. On the eve of elections it is complaining. Why.
Politics › Re: Buhari Threatens To Back Out Of Abuja Accord by Reference(m): 10:08pm On Feb 25, 2015
You can give but not receive. The days of bliss are indeed over. With power comes responsibility. APC wake up. You started it so enjoy. That's why you don't hear much from the likes of Lai and Rufai these days. The assumption is that they will assume power and the political atmosphere will become friendly and civil for them to relax. Bad news, it won't happen. The gloves are long off. I just hope Buhari has half the temerity of Jonathan or else embarasment will plague APC's journey. The party had better prepare him well.

Not all.

The ones that even do, started not too long ago, it wasn't in the doctrines of the catholic church to pay tithe, they just couldn't see their pentecostal and other counterparts prosper from tithing extortion, without doing nothing, so they joined.smiley
It is not extortion. It is the demonstration if power. You guys don't just get it. The church wants to dominate. Money commands a lot of power. It is a tool of serious influence. Members of the church know this. They want a strong, influential church. They want influence beyond their homes. Today the church must be respected. As an example, you cannot contest thoughtless of winning any serious elective position in Nigeria today without 'going to see pastor'. That is the destination. Global influence and domination. Soft power.

Imagine what will happen if one tells them "I don't go to church"

Why is it sad. The church is going to dominate the sane world while some other religions will dominate the 'dark' world. Honey, there is no neutrality. The reality is approaching. Someone indeed owns this world and all of us in it.

I got an interview invitation last Friday with one newly established company around Airport road, Rukpoku, Port Harcourt(name withheld). I was over-qualified, and I answered their questions perfectly, but what shocked me was when the interviewer asked me what church i attended.

I proudly answered "Catholic". His facial expression changed and he said "whoever doesn't pay tithe can hinder the growth of a company."

He even tried backing his statement with biblical quotations.I was very shocked so I can't even remember all the crap he said.

I brought this here to tell Nairalanders what religion has turned our people into.
He has the right to qualify or disqualify you on the basis of any criteria he deems fit. It is a PRIVATE company. Appeal to the human rights commission.

This is serious FAILURE by Jonathan. It is going to bite him HARD. Let us remember that we had foreign exchange reserves of $45bn and ECA of $22bb that was further helped by $115/barrel oil price that should have.improved. exchange rate to N70 to.the dollar. Every other OPEC country also built up reserves and developed petrochemical industry.
Jonathan did not. At N200 to the dollar most companies will soon laying off workers. All the empty half educated youths praising Jonathan will curse him soon. Shey Buhari is the one you fear now?.You are afraid of Fulani general? Soon you will beg him.
Beg him to do what. What can he do about it. Nothing. These are fundamental issues born on a faulty foundation he will never be able to change because his constituency benefits from the status quo.

The fundamental reason is a oil dependent economy. To diversify you have to start by privatisation. Will he privatise the nations assets. Not likely. Common PIB they cannot even pass. Forget it.

Of course it doesn't have gas. Has it not been a recurring theme throughout the power landscape. That we donot have a functioning gas network. Bukola Saraki knows this and he is merely trying to counter the GEJ/PDP propaganda machine with equally hopeless information. We all know these new generation plants are not working. What is new.

But you guys making jest about the health status of Buhari should stop this reprehensible behaviour. Learn to draw the line between politics, governance and privates. It is very, very cruel.

Don't tell ur husband but politely warn his friend
What kind of silly advice is this. The so called friend is trying to destroy the marraige and he must be protected. For what. If the husband has any sense he should send that friend packing. The consequences are dire. The man will come back and it will be worse. Woman draw a line, take a stand and stand firm. If your husband catches you, you lose. If you keep quiet blackmail and certain broken home will result. You are your husband's eyes behind his back. It is your duty to protect him from fake friends. His friend obviously does not respect him nor his marraige and must be ejected.

Politics › Re: Two Retired Generals Contradict Each Other On Buhari's Certificate by Reference(m): 6:08am On Feb 25, 2015
General Tarfa is correct. Expediency was the order of the day in the early years. Every one knows that in the nascent years of most organisations the competencies required are not exclusively academic. These come after such organisations are 'planted' and stablished. Certificates were not the priorities of the British Army in the 50's and 60's. In a fledgeling democracy such as ours certificates should not be relevant either rather leadership qualities should be prioritised. It was a mistake by INEC to include it and we should all collectively ignore it or suspend it from the statutes. Buhari must be permitted to bring his qualities to the table to balance power and found this democracy.

Nigeria and the APC in particular has not done enough to broaden the political space and create a market of choices so we must collectively adopt affirmative action.

I've worked for, done start-ups and tasked myself in things I am not 'certified' to do but when the resources donot equal the objectives that is the risk that has to be undertaken. Our democracy right now cannot afford certified experts. What we need right now is plain old leadership and blue collar muscle men. When it becomes a brand then we can be choosy. Leave this certificate issue and let Buhari be abeg.

Have we not been saying for a long time that this is what he planed just to win election?

We are not stupidd...
But you know when the special military budget was approved. You know when the money was released. You know of the failed and successful attempts at securing weapons. You know when the weapons started arriving. You know when the Joint Commission was put in place. You know when the armies of neighbouring countries started operations leading to these results so why.....

Why, why do you question the timing. Why do you link it to the elections. Why do you choose to look away from the facts and timelines. Oga. What is the matter. What is the military's business with your politics.

Its called politics. Live with it. Its the way democracy works. It keeps leaders on their toes and ensures performance, the mirage that the electorate can be satisfied. Don't worry whenever your party is voted out of power you have been properly schooled on what to do to get back in. Stop complaining and learn quickly. The clock is ticking.

Exactly my thoughts which means they didn't die in combat but why? Why is the government shutting them up in this manner of jungle justice, what's government got to hide? Did Azazi really tell us something? Is Buhari getting vindicated over his proclamation that the Fed govt was wiping out the North? So many questions!
Educate yourself please. Tieing their legs at the ankles together with those their comrades is a standard Arabian/Othman battle tactic to ensure the unit stays together in battle and doesn't break due to cowardice. Religious fundamentalist insurgents have used same since the days of Maitatsine. When things are difficult for people to understand and they can't ask proper questions nor research, nor seek credible information rumours, speculations always prevail.

Honestly, I just don't understand this fixation with Buhari. As a governor does he not have more than enough challenges in his state. Who will call this man to order. Politics in Nigeria is really messy.

BabaO2:
Your problem is lack of understanding and exposure. Nigerians should be ashamed of her military and SSS, all the pictures so far showed that these guys are operating on a clear plain vast land carved out of Nigeria, unlike Osama linked terrains you are wrongly comparing with Nigeria situation. Afghanistan is a different world on earth.
We are getting results now because fearless Chad, Niger, Cameroon etc are actively involved in the operation Not because Nigeria is singularly running down the insurgents,Nigeria would have loved to do that, but they lack the capacity, intelligence and CIC
We will not be ashamed of our military to satisfy your silly political inclinations. We will not get down into the mud with you. Our military has done us proud, working under extremely difficult conditions and containing the conflict within certain zones. Without them you will not have democracy thoughtless of a government thoughtless of forth coming elections.

So I suggest you accord respect to those who have paid the supreme price and offer their lives day after day so you can live in peace and publish whatever you please.

For your information, 1. This is an insurgency the military is facing which means Boko Haram is not a regular army. They can carry an AK one minute and farming tools the next so blending into the communities is not a problem for them. 2. Peoples of the region share the same heritage across the border into Chad, Niger and northern Cameroun. These borders are porous so the co.operation of those countries hitherto absent has made a substantial difference. 3. The transition to democracy and the consequent backlash against decades of military rule resulted in deliberate under funding, disinvestment and demobilisation of the armed forces. Equipment, logistics, training and manpower has been cut since 1999.

All these challenges are being overcome and we can see the results emerging on the field. However I remain adamant that there is no military solution to this problem because the reasons are deep rooted and fundamental. But as Nigerians we owe it a duty to protect our institutions and insulate them from partisan politics because they remain even when politics and governments change and we seriously depend on their stability for our collective survival.
