I have seen Jonathan interviews and he is supposed to be a PhD holder!
Either Buhari is inately more intelligent or Jonathan got a crappy PhD.

if you are conversant with how things are done in universities in the south, you will go for the second. Buhari is not innately intelligent but just like the average Educated Nigerian, but Jonathan's PHD is suspect.. like seriously, i had roommates doing thesis for post graduate students during my time in Uniport.

Thanks my dear sister(?) for the compliment.

Actually with your comment I could sense some positive things. Some of us are very truthful to ourselves that we find it difficult to deny the truth. You were very outspoken and frank. You didn't allow sentiments to becloud your judgement of what you saw yourself. Even though a part of you what to acknowledge what you saw, but the other part is saying otherwise. Sometimes we find ourselves in this scenario. You simply confirmed this through your answer to another fellow by saying that a devil you know is better than an unknown angel. You wanted to give the devil another chance when you are convinced that by the word devil, nothing good can come out of it afterall.

Some in response to your puzzlement took it to mean that probably you should have never believed in the unseen in the first instance. That is where the difference lies. I perfectly understand your fears because I have been there myself. I know what it means to leave one's comfort zone. You are afraid because you did not know what the future will hold. This goes for some of us and that is why we are where we are today. We are too comfortable with our thoughts. We do not like something that will upset the equilibrium because of our fears of what may come out of it.

But my dear sister(?), taking this path will lead us to nowhere. We will only be stagnated in only one place: where we are. But mind you, the world we live today is once the dream of some people. Some of them died in the actualization of those dreams. In those days when I read James Hardley Chase novels, I would wonder if such technology could ever exist. But see what is happening today, and judge the power of human mind!

So back to the topic my sister(?), I understand your fears about the man. And in the programme you have just watched, Buhari acknowledged such fear. He said whenever he remembers the energy and zeal of the young men who followed and accompanied them from the airport to the venue of the rally, that he is always scared and disappointing such people would be a great disappointment. To be fair, I think he understands the hope we are putting on him. The onus is on us to give him the chance to prove his mettle.

For me in particular, this election is not about any politician per se, but it is an assessment of a government by the people they rule. So if we are able to defeat the PDP, we would have succeeded in telling anybody that win that Nigerian people cannot be taken for a ride.

God bless you and your family and may God bless Nigeria more than we ever imagine.

This is exactly the gospel i preach on the streets. Its not about the candidates, or the party per say, but the ability for Nigerians to stand up and be counted. If APC are voted in and its business as usual, i would kick against them come the next elections. Afterall, its just me, my conscience and the ballot paper in the polling booth. Nobody is going to be there to point out who i should vote for. To all, use your head and do what is right. Remember the money they are sharing to you now, when they enter them go forget you till 2019. Do the job that you are paid for but on the polling day, do what you feel is right for your future.

As an ardent follower of GEJ, Listening to GMB today makes me have a re-think of whom I will vote for. In all Honesty, I think we should give GMB a chance. This man speaks with so much passion on what good governance should be. I've seen someone who is never too in a haste to make promises just the way other politicians does. He choose his words carefully and don't rush to make promises. Citing corruption which is d main problem we have as his priority when he is re-elected gives me hope that he should be given a chance.

We the electorate have the power to vote him out if he fails to deliver and am sure politicians knows this now that the people are willing and ready to defend their votes.

I might be considering voting for him, but I'll wait a little bit before making up my mind. But for now GEJ still has ny heart even though he failed woefully in some areas affecting the masses.

a wise statement.. an enlightened mind would look at both options before casting its vote. studying what the two major candidates have to offer, who would you really cast your vote for. remember its just you, your conscience and the ballot paper in the polling booth. forget sentiments, nobody will be there to see you vote. vote for who, after careful analysis, your conscience believes is the right choice to move the country forward. thanks

Wow, you seriously mean business. Hope you did not send him any money? And not all of us are bad.

Dear Nairalanders, I am in a relationship with someone that hurt me when I needed her most. We met a while ago while I was still hustling on the streets of PortHarcourt. I was working in a small firm then, but I was doing all I could to make her happy. The job wasn't well paying, so I had to quit to pursue my Masters Degree and professional qualifications. The money stopped rolling in and we both started having issues. She became very difficult and eventually she left me sha, for no concrete reason. But I strongly believe its cos I quit the job.

I still loved her, and wished she wud change her mind. Some years later, I got a job in one of the multinationals and was sent abroad on an official assignment. I met her again at the airport in London and we became friends. We started chatting and she visited me on a saturday. One thing led to another, and we were intimate. The feelings started rekindling, but I just couldn't forget the way she treated me when I needed her most and I am afraid that shez back cos of my wealth.

Recently, she told me shez one month pregnant and am contemplating marrying her, but the way she hurt me when we were in Nigeria keeps taunting me. I keep having these flashbacks. Am actually scared that she will repeat the same behaviour in d nearest future even though it seems she has changed.

Please ur advice is needed here. Mature minds only.

Since you are planning on marrying her, talk to her, let her know that the way she treated you the last time still hurts you and you are skeptical about marrying her. ask her questions like if things were not to be as rosy as it is now in the future would she behave the same way she did before...

but you no try oh.... i would have ran a mile away from her instead of being intimate again..

lepasharon:
Is that her?

yes that is her.. you should see her other pics... men! what was she thinking. she looked like he had a well adjusted life. maybe they needed the money to travel to dubai cos i heard thats the latest craze among young folks.

that dont look like a girl without confidence.. she should face the full wrath of the law. although methinks the guy go just chop clean mouth. i got more pics if you like...

moemoni:

Does anyone in the house know any dentist that can help out for charity. am tired of the yabbing i get from my friends and being self-conscious. Thanks in advance.

Tytto:
Seriously, i think the people you meet in your everyday life determines your mindset. I guess that is why majority are insisting it is not possible.

You are right my younger graduated from Bells at the age of 14 and was in uni by 15. he finished law school by 21 and now at 28 has 7 years post bar experience. he is currently working towards being a judge.

funkiebully:

A CV should have state of origin, why is d crook silent on that

dude, as a Lagosian even if he is from Bornu he has my vote, why? cos he is the right man for the job irrespective of where he is from. am from Ikorodu and have lived most of my life in Surulere and if i ever decide to run for any political position it will be from Surulere.. For it has been the place i know and the people know me and can recognize that my being there is for their best interest. all those our "people" from our places what have they done? na to build big house and dey do big man they sabi... its the 21st century for God's sake. A kenyan became presido of the USA and an Igbo man, yes i said it, an Igbo man is in line to lead the Labour Party in the UK, which means there is the likelihood he would be prime minister.. its high time we outgrow all this petty nonsense about whether on is the son of the soil. the sons of the soil wetin them don do..

Father Gratien Alabi, 39, was being investigated over the disappearance of a local woman when cops found the X-rated images.

A police spokesman said: "He had somehow managed to persuade them to provide him with naked pictures. We are looking at his email traffic to find out what tricks he used."

Alabi's computer was full of the snaps and was seized following his arrest in connection with the disappearance of Guerrina Piscaglia, 36, from her home in the area of Ca Raffaello near the central town of Arezzo last May.

The woman's husband Mirko Alessandrini, 40, has organised a massive search for his missing wife, and police reportedly moved to arrest and question the priest after a threatening text message was found on the missing woman's mobile phone.

Sent from the a device belonging to Father Gratien Alabi, it warned her that talking poorly about a priest is something that she should avoid doing in the future.

Ms Piscaglia's family believe she may have been killed because she knew something about the priest's activities, which prompted him to arrange for her to be disposed of.

Police have so far declined to comment on the speculation.

Thes TAN fools think everyone can be bribe. Dear Taniods, incase you you have found out (which shows how dumb you guys are) major forign press aint gullible.

ProfessorPeter:
Sad indeed. Taking the lives of innocent students in order to prove that Jonathan is incapable of running the country.
My condolence for the family

If he was capable, he would have nipped these incidences at the bud.. He is incapable of governing us that's why these incidences occur.

first and last time the dude is going to the market.

2A0030D1... add me up

Pastor Ina-Okurin?

you could make a biz plan

wow.... have you tried marketing it?
you play football manager?

iammo6:
dont be offended. To settle this amicably, i'd say you are both dumb

nice one... funny man

calebo101:
Don't quote me if you're this dumb. I seriously hate dumb people bro.

i pointed out your mistake and you call me dumb?

calebo101:
If this is the worst of Jonathan, then yes I am sticking with him till we get a credible alternative.

And if you ask me again and again, I prefer a thief and a corrupt man than a man that would islamise Nigeria and turn us into the next Iraq or Syria.

Truth be told they are all evil. PDP and APC. But in this case I would stick with the devil i know, the lesser evil.

I shiver at the thought of Buhari being president and formally recognising Bokoharam as the[b] Egyptian government recognise the Muslim brotherhood. [/b]

So OP when next you come up with ur apc agenda, kindly tell your leaders to present a candidate without baggages, preferably younger as we know old men tend to cling unto power by all means. Not a known islam sympathiser.

Egyptian Government recognizes Muslim Brotherhood?!! only that statement shows you don't know what you are talking about hence your belief GMB will islamise this country and rabid support for Jonathan.

Please do endeavor to read and understand what you are talking about before coming online to showcase your crass ignorance.
