dustmalik:
OP, the name of your thread is very misleading. It should have read, 'A group in the north', not 'Buhari's supporters'. The name of your thread suggests all Buhari's supporters in the north, which is very misleading. Why do you guys (mods) always have to be biased?
By the way, this news is from an unknown journalism outfit, which means it could all be lies.

Title changed to "Northern Youths" Threaten To "Extinguish" AIT If Buhari Doesn't Win (Letter). Our people should have been more careful.

@cbay: Boerboel? Why? What led you to believe that a boerboel is a great dog for a family with young kids? Of course, with very good training, almost any breed of dog can be good for a family with kids, so you have no reason to regret your purchase, but it's very surprising to me.

The info on this page will be hepful: http://www.african-boerboel.co.za/children.htm Congrats!

thefakestan:
Seun!!! Na wah, The President didnt say "corruption is good" instead He said @ least no one went around saying that "Stealing is good"

Mistake. I'm sorry.

dechandel:

olu77:
Standard question: Do you have a dog and where is the picture of your eyebrow?

exactly! (cc:Ireneony )

ireneony:
myself

Over the Internet? How will that work?

Frankdamaxx:
That's true. The media has been unfair to him.

If this is true, then I would blame his media relations people, because it means that they are not performing.

What's in it for me?

Collynzo9:
You no get TV?
SMH.

Yea.

He feels it's better to try to improve PVC distribution so that Nigerians will believe in the electoral process which they didn't believe in before.

GEJ Closing Comments:

He assures Nigerians that elections will be free and fair and the new president will be sworn in May 29 certainly.

He thinks the rumors about removing Jega are stupid insinuations. And are distorted stories at best.

Q: Is he bothered by the amount of money spent in political campaigns and would he like to correct the situation?
A: INEC is already regulating that, but the pressure on political candidates to raise money is quite high. The money PDP raised was for building a secretariat. The billions talked about were just pledges and they have not seen the cash.

Q; Does he have confidence in INEC
A: He says he appointed everybody in INEC so they will do the work.

GEJ says as the president he doesn't really have the time to monitor social media, but he feels sad about the things that are said about him.

Q: His chat with Buhari. Can GEJ tell us his own personal assessment about Buhari?

A: He doesn't think it's proper to assess his political opponent during election period. But he says more mud is flung on him as the president.

Q: What has GEJ learned in the first term. If he wins the re-election bid, what will he do differently.

A: He's going to address perception because perception is more powerful than reality. Most of the problems of his govt is with perception.

madridguy:
I am missing a lot. NEPA don fall my hand.

I'm listening on FM radio 102.3Mhz on my phone cos the AIT internet stream is slow.

Q: People saying he doesn't want to leave office if he loses the elections.

A: He maintains that, just like in 2011, he is more interested in ensuring that elections are free and fair, he has no issue with handing over.

Q: Has nigeria mended fences with the us govt to enable us to get the arms from them that we need?

A: The US govt feels the weapons could be used for human rights abuses. But he says they are getting them from other countries that produce similar weapons. They don't have all the weapons they need but they have gotten enough equipment to be able to move faster.

Q: The 1 billion dollar loan for fighting Boko Haram. What's the state of things with that?

A. He says the procurement of arms will the money will be done directly from Government to Government to eliminate stealing.

Q: What's the state of the issue with South Africa over the 9.3 million dollars:

A: He believes they'll get the money back, but the matter is still in court.

GEJ says more cases of stealing/corrupt practices have been prosecuted under his govt than ever before,
but prevention is what they are focusing on and for example they used IT to prevent fertiliser stealing in the agric sector.

I'm beginning to understand why GEJ has done well in politics. He's very good at communicating with individuals one on one vs to crowds.

He says his point is that we should not use corruption to cover different things like incompetence/theft. Stealing should be treated as stealing.

GEJ's explanation of his "stealing is not corruption" statement is that he was quoting Justice Mustapha who said more than 80% of cases of corruption are just theft. GEJ says "a thief should be called a thief and treated like a thief" that corruption is used to legitimize theft.

EgusiSoup:
Seun! What is your point exactly? EgusiSoup

Just updating you.
GEJ comments about the "painful" comments ppl make such as that he's behind Boko Haram.

Question: "In a similar event like this in the past, you remarked that stealing is not corruption. This issue has generated a lot of controversy. Mr President pls, can you tel us clarify what you meant by those statements" He says thank God nobody said he said stealing is good.

He was asked if there is a plan to recover the girls alive. He says of course there's no plan to kill the girls. He says that he can't promise that the 200 girls will come out alive but that he's more hopeful than before that they'll be able to comb the whole area due to the cooperation the govt is getting from neighbouring countries which "was not so before".

He says Americans did not attack the president when we experienced 9/11. He expects Nigerian politicians with international connections to use their connections to help the girls instead of attacking the president. But he didn't clarify whether he went partying when they were kidnapped.

Asked how far with the Chibok girls, GEJ says now that they are working with Chad the issue of rescuing the Chibok girls should get better in 3 weeks but he cannot promise that officially. He says they will comb the whole of that area.

Coordinator asks "as a mother" how GEJ could have gone partying when the girls were first announced missing. GEJ says that he did not go partying... but goes on a long ramble about how politicians chose to politicize the situation instead of fighting against it.

Journalist notes that GEJ lost the support of many of the people like AMaechi who supported him in 2011, and asks what he's doing to win them back, assuming that he needs to win them back. He says that in politics there's no permanent ally and some ppl moved from APC to PDP too.
