story for the gods.

If you are a true leader and the charisma you got..u don't have to bribe the people,u don't need to sing they will create a song for you..what am seeing is reflection that our leader need to identify with the masses..

FrankC3:
If you are truly a Nigerian, you should be more worried about why any candidate and his supporters will have their campaign posters burnt unless guarded by armed men. That is what patriotic democrats should be worried about. You forget that it is so easy for the same President to enforce a similar strategy in his own stronghold using state apparatus as tool.

You sound more like some confused people who heap all the blame of any Boko Haram attack on the President and reserve only excuses of poverty for the common enemy themselves. Something is fundamentally wrong with your world view.

I won't exchange word with anybody on this platform.. the message is what I want u all to see, in my own view where security of the people is guarantee;where the leaders are free with the people; a state we can all be proud of I don't think we need security men to full the whole state cos of presidential campaign..u cant believe it the whole of ibb way is blocked, the people were asked not to open their shop..hate me if u like and call me names but what am saying is a leader need to be free with his people more...while shut the whole cities down cos of a campaign? When I said who are they deceiving don't you think if GEJ see all this he will think the people love him?Above all NEPA maintain light for almost 14hours this fake..we don't need all this are they not deceiving our president all is well? Or is it the people? Let the leaders learn...simple be careful of what people do in ur presence..

I hope and I pray our leaders will learn..I live in Katsina one of the core northern state though relatively peaceful...and the battle for seat of power is hot between Masari the APC gov aspirant, Nashun the PDP gov aspirant and the APGA gov aspirant Tata..the stories envolving among this three pls let safe it for another day.Am really worried a state under the ruling party has no GEJ poster around the major road for fear of molestation from the people around or supporters of APC so little wonder when am going out today and I saw a signage of GEJ poster along IBB way with civil defense men guiding it..and shook my head. Please the burning question in my mind is who are they deceiving..in Bob Dee voice who is misleading our president.

Since the news fly in that Jona will be coming, different security men as been patrolling the major road and am jus wondering why is my president not free among his own people? Why will a leader need a security men to campaign? Please let our leaders learn everything that has a beginning also have an end ..above all power belong to the people.

The song change seem to be louder and in everymouth than the transformation song...let the leader learn a lesson you can fool us all the time..the ppu power to elect,delete and select is becoming more glaring no leader shu joke with the masses as we will not condone any leader who did not perform.

The merchants of death are advertising their
trade. The ravening wolves; gatherers of thorns
and thistles. The corrupt trees that bring out evil
fruit. As it has been said, “A good tree cannot
bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.” [Mathew 7:15-28] We
have given up on this tree that in the words of
Femi Fani-Kayode is a “rotten carcass,” giving
off “putrid scent.” *holds nose* Trees hewn
down, cast into the fire. By their fruits we knew
them: a transformation from light to darkness; a
transformation from life to death; a
transformation from security to insecurity; the
transformation to hunger, misery, global
disgrace, poverty, injustice, pilfering, terror, cabal
impunity, limitless corruption and what have you
The workers of iniquity! They want to kill our
president as they have killed our presidents,
hopefuls, and revolutionists in the past. They
killed Murtala. They brought the tea that killed
Abacha and our dear victorious Abiola. They
plotted the coup that ousted the no-nonsense
Buhari regime and they poisoned Idiagbon who
was throwing up all the way back to Ilorin where
he passed—on his return from his meeting with
them in Abuja—to pave the path for the PDP.
They who poisoned Yar’Adua to speed-up his
death and pave the way for corruption unlimited,
as reported in US Wikileaks cables …now they
want to kill Buhari!
Nigeria has a message to them: firstly, they can
never kill Buhari. Secondly, we did not make the
mistake we made in selecting (or having imposed
on us) Goodluck Jonathan as late Yar’Adua’s
running mate this time. We learned from our
mistakes. It took us several days to come up
with Pastor Yemi Osinbajo for this very reason—
after selecting an excellent presidential
candidate, we ensured that our vice presidential
candidate is “twice as good” in the event that
the evil one gets to him.
Nigerians north and south, east and west, home
and abroad are happy with the leadership
package of Buhari-Osinbajo. In fact we can let
either of them lead us at anytime
interchangeably. Both men are incorruptible,
God-fearing, known for their integrity; smart,
astute, full of wisdom and global experience;
sharp, strong, promising and noble. Both men
have no issues making the right choices from
“contradictory advise.” And most importantly,
unlike our error selecting a man who lied that he
had no shoes and whose family was already
indicted by the EFCC for attempting to launder
the money of the people of Bayelsa; both these
presidential men know the meaning of corruption
and that stealing is corruption and corruption is
stealing.
The “do-or-die” people will die first. As it is said,
the wicked shall perish! Psalm 109:6-15 to all
the enemies of Nigeria. Our lives are in God’s
hands and only He determines when we pass,
young or old, healthy or sick. We assure you that
if it is his destiny to pass, he will have first
locked the killers and thieves all up in Kirikiri
before his days are up; and our dynamic
Osinbajo will investigate his death not as
Goodluck Jonathan refused to when Yar’Adua
passed, and will add his killers (God forbid) to
accompany you in your tiny cells. In the Lord’s
mighty name we pray.
Our house we have built on a rock and the floods
cannot sweep it away. [Luke 6:46-49] Nigeria is
ready for change. We are deaf to the
distractions.
The enemies of the people can try their next
malicious propaganda. What comes next? That
Buhari is actually “not Nigerian?” Or that Buahri
is a cyborg? #haha
As Gandhi said, “remember that all through
history, there have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time they seem invincible. But in the
end, they always fail. Always!”
Countdown to CHANGE!

In the 16 years that PDP has been in
power, a child who was 5 years old at
the time is now 21 years old. The child
should be graduating or getting near
graduation in a university or higher
institution but that child probably did
not get to school at all and if he/she did,
by the efforts of the parents, they did not
get a good education from any
government school.
A child who was 10 years old at the time
PDP came to power is now 26 years old
and probably did not get to a higher
institution and cannot hold down a
decent job, because there was no plan
for that child. If by the effort of the
parents, the child is a graduate, the child
is probably sitting at home without a
job.
A child who was 17 years old at the time
PDP came to power is now 33 years old,
jobless, already spent and wasted.
This is the PDP legacy on Nigerian
education and the PDP generation.

Nigerians and their infinite capacity for
facile propaganda. I wake up this
morning and what I see all over social
media is some poor taste, childish diagnosis of
Major General Buhari as being sick. Well, I agree.
I agree that Buhari is sick. I am sick, too.

Any Nigerian who is not sick is not sick because
he or she is incurably sick. We are all sick. And
we should be sick. So, yes,… …Buhari is sick of
the monumental corruption that has become
institutionalized in Nigeria.
Buhari is sick of the incompetence of a
government that cannot protect the lives and
properties of its citizens; …Buhari is sick of the
lack of a sense of urgency in the circles of
government in Nigeria.
Buhari is sick of a country that has placed itself
on permanent reverse gear.
Buhari is sick of a country that has left itself
naked as it is raped dry by vagabonds in power.
Buhari is sick of a youth population without
jobs.
Buhari is sick of a country where university
education has become comparable to 8th grade
competence in advanced civilizations.
Buhari is sick of a country where roads are death
traps.
Buhari is sick of a country where people go into
political offices near poor, but turn stupendously
wealthy overnight.
Buhari is sick of a country where education is
priced beyond the reach of the common masses.
Buhari is sick of a country where $20 Billion
(possibly $40 Billion) of public fund develops
legs and walks away, its whereabouts knowingly
unknown.
Buhari is sick of watching the country he loves
ranked at the bottom of corruption index by
Transparency International.
Buhari is sick of a country that earns billions of
dollars in oil revenue, yet has not a single
functional oil refinery.
Buhari is sick of a country where government has
bowed to the dictates of power generator cabals
in a conspiracy that ensures perpetual darkness.
Buhari is sick of a country where senators and
congressmen earn more than the president of the
United States of America.
Buhari is sick of a country where soldiers are so
demoralized to confront a ragtag Boko Haram
terror sect.
Buhari is sick of a country where convicted
looters are pardoned and fast tracked for senate
positions.
Buhari is sick of a country where life expectancy
is among the lowest in the world.
Buhari is sick of a country that is on
international news for all the wrong reasons.
So, yes, Buhari is sick; and so am I.
The big Question is, why is Jonathan not sick as
well? Why has Jonathan remained healthy in the
face of all the above-listed filth and diseases?
The Question is why is not every Nigerian sick of
all the social maladies and existential
outbreaks?
It is a time to be sick, my friends. Buhari is; I
am. Are you? Let’s all get sick of where and
how Nigeria is! Let’s get real sick!!And the sicker
we are, the healthier we are going to be.
Let’s schedule a doctor’s visit on February 14.
Let’s not forget our health insurance card (voter
card) as we go for this February appointment.
We need to feel better. But until February 14,
let’s feel sick… …Real sick!

Election inducement I guess, to be raised to 150naira after the re-eletion right.

Bros u too correct u sabi naija wells..c now dt is 97 naira here in Katsina where I live its 110.

Hmmm I doubt the reality of this news but if its true then: one thing is sure no one stand in the way of a moving train and no one can ever swim against a flowing river.

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
Sheriff Balogun in Abeokuta
Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on
Friday openly declared his support for the re-
election of the state governor, Senator Ibikunle
Amosun.
Also on the same day, constitutional lawyer and
human rights advocate, Chief Mike Ozekhome
(SAN), said the candidate of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari,
was not qualified to contest the February 14
presidential election.
The former president explained that in spite of
being in a different political party with the
governor, his choice of Amosun was based on
merit and not that of any political party.
In a swift reaction to the support for Amosun, the
Ogun State Chapter of the party called on its
National Working Committee to sanction
Obasanjo for anti-party activities.
Obasanjo who spoke in his Abeokuta Hiltop
residence while receiving Igbo leaders from Ogun
and Lagos States declared his intention to vote
for the return of Amosun in next month general
election despite being in the PDP.
Obasanjo said: “In 2011, we were not together;
though we were together before and I
campaigned against him. But, see what he has
been able to do in the last three and half years
in the state. I cannot sacrifice performance for
party.”
Obasanjo subsequently sought the support of the
South-east indigenes residents in Ogun State for
Amosun in the February 28 governorship election.
Obasanjo added: "I never dream of having a
bridge on dry land in Ogun State in my life time.
Yes, we have Ogun River, where there is a
bridge, but, on a dry land. Go to Ijebu, Sagamu
and Ota. I am seeing bridges, not even one or
two.
“This is a development that some of us in our
60s, 70s even 50s would have thought would be
a mirage during our life time. Apart from this, it
will bring development that future governments
shall be major beneficiaries.
"So, my people, I am not talking about other
elections. I have come to tell you that in order to
appreciate what this personality has been able
to do in the last three and half years, let us give
him our votes."
Obasanjo however emphasized that if the
situation changes, after the governor must have
been re-elected, he should be held responsible.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State PDP in a statement
said: “We think the appropriate organs of the
party (NWC) will have the courage to sanction
him (Obasanjo) for anti-party activities.
“We in the Ogun State PDP are not surprised at
his latest action but it really does not amount to
much. For us, it means the beginning of APC's
failure. What did his endorsement of Tunji Olurin
translate into in 2011 elections?
Ozekhome: Buhari is not qualified to contest…
Ozekhome, who spoke on Africa Independent
Television (AIT) Kakaaki programme, on General
Buhari’s raging certificate saga, stated that the
APC presidential candidate did not comply with
the provisions of the electoral law in filling the
nomination form he submitted to the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC)
According to him, “I know that Nigerians would
be curious about why this matter is just coming
up for the first time and that after all, this man
had contested the last three Presidential
elections.
“Well, I wish to state that I have done, by God’s
grace, a lot of election petition matters and I
know that up till 2011, INEC form simply
provides that candidates should state their
qualifications. In other words, just say that I
have O’Level; I have B.Sc; I have BL etc; then,
you go and sit down.
“But right now, the rule has changed. Form
CF001, says apart from filling your qualifications,
you must attach them; you must attach
photocopies of your qualifications; and, to attach
means to bind; it means to glue-to. As we are
looking at your form that you have filled, I have
to see your NYSC certificate, all your
qualifications /certificates must be attached to
your form.
“So, if you do not attach them, you have not
satisfied the minimum requirements; it is
therefore not proper to refer INEC to go on a wild
goose chase, go and look elsewhere for my
qualifications.”
Ozekhome said that General Buhari’s decision to
refer INEC to the Secretary of the Military Board
for his credentials was like an applicant referring
the interviewer to the last place he or she
worked.
According to him, “It is like, as an applicant, you
want a job, you come before your interviewers;
your interviewers say, we have looked at the
form you filled for this job; we have not seen
your certificates; and you say, the last place I
worked, they have photocopy of my certificates,
go and ask them.
“That is wrong. The military board we are talking
about will also be in possession of the document
of the respected general.
But, before he submitted the documents to the
military board, it is taken that he had possession
of his own documents; all he needs to do is to
attach the photocopy of his document to his
form; and, if there is any question to be asked,
you can refer to the places where you went to
school; mind you, not the military board.”
Ozekhome said that section 131 of the
constitution is very clear that the candidate
must have not below school certificate level, or
its equivalent, and its equivalent means GCE,
WASC, NECO, etc; those are its equivalents.
“Now, if you do not have any of these
qualifications, what you will do is to apply to
WAEC or NECO, and say my certificates are lost,
burnt or stolen by armed robbers; I will want you
to issue me a letter certifying that I have this
qualification.
“That was what happened in the case of the
Vice-President, Muhammadu Sambo, because I
have been following this case very seriously,
because it is very crucial to our democratic
norms and values. I am interested in how we can
expand the space, deepen and widen the aptitude
of democracy.”

A Nigeria that we will respect each other and politics won't divide us or religion separate us and ethnicity won't put us apart but we will all see each other as human.

BABATUNDE FASHOLA (GUEST COLUMNIST)
On Thursday 8th of January, 2015, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) came to Lagos, warts
and all, in furtherance of a presidential campaign
flag-off. They had advertised this flag-off with a
promise to show what they had done in Lagos. I
anticipated this visit because I hoped it would
provide an opportunity to discuss issues
important to the people. When they left, they left
nothing tangible behind except violence, attacks
and robberies on citizens who had been trapped
in the traffic they created. The All Progressives
Congress (APC) National Convention had held in
the same city of Lagos a few weeks ago without
violence and robberies. But that is not my take
away. My take away was the presidential
speech.
Having ridden to office on the back of civil
society (a.k.a Doctrine of necessity), and having
been elected by an impassioned campaign of
emotion and sympathy (a.k.a ‘I had no shoes’), I
expected that a president seeking re-election will
understand that his record of service and not
sympathy would be the vote catching message.
Even though I was in Benin to attend the APC
vice-presidential candidate’s town hall meeting, I
took the time to listen to the presidential flag-off
speech. Mr. President had my attention when he
said his message that day, and for the rest of
the 35 states and FCT, was going to be focused
on young people.
And just as I thought he was going to raise
hope, he did what no leader should ever do. He
dashed hope. He told young Nigerians that his
generation had failed. Yet he seeks their votes to
lead them. This compounded the problem. If the
president admits personal failure, he was
uncharitable in seeking to paint everybody in his
own service record. What then is his
“Transformation Agenda” about? Failure?
My take away: Leaders don’t dash hope, they
inspire it. To be fair, he quite rightly set out the
agenda and burning issues on the minds of the
Nigerian people when he opened by stating that
he was going to address 3 (three) issues of
corruption, insecurity and the economy. I
expected to hear about a security plan to restore
Nigeria’s territory that was lost to terrorists and
how to bring back the girls abducted in Chibok,
the president sadly said nothing. Instead, Mr.
President went for the sympathy message again,
that there was an assassination attempt on his
life four years ago.
My take away: Mr President, this is a good try
but it took four years and on the eve of election
campaign for you to disclose such grave national
security information. Any attempt on your life as
our leader is an attack on all of us as a people
and a nation. Twenty-four hours before this
Lagos presidential flag-off, there was an attack
of terror in Paris in which 12 people were killed.
By midnight, arrests had been made; the
Government of France had swung into action
with 80,000 combined security forces in a
manhunt for the terrorists. They pursued the
terrorists into a forest, evoking memories of
Sambisa Forest.
As I conclude this piece, three terrorists had
been killed and one was on the run. After six
years, there was no message or plan in this
presidential re-election bid speech on how to
solve our security problem. Mr. President spent a
lot of time accusing his predecessors of not
buying arms. Those young people whom Mr.
President sought to impress must remember that
in the last 20 or so years, our armed forces have
been involved in wars/peace-keeping missions in
Somalia, Sierra-Leone and Liberia, and their
performance was globally adjudged to be
outstanding. They used arms.
If Mr. President’s predecessors did not buy arms,
which arms did these soldiers use for those
operations? It seems to me very simple to
accept that armoury management is a matter of
inventory management; use and replace. I think
young people must see these accusations
against predecessors as being without basis.
Assuming there is a basis, General Buhari left
office in 1985; the technology of arms has
improved rapidly and it cannot be his fault that a
president in 2015 is seeking to use 1985 arms.
Mr. President still owes Nigerians an explanation
about the $9 million cash seized in a plane in
South Africa, in an amateurish attempt to buy
arms through the back door. As far as corruption
was concerned, the president’s silence on the
forensic audit report about $10 billion and $12
billion or $20 billion, (depending on whose
version between the ministry of finance or central
bank), showed an unwillingness to defend his
record. I think it would have helped Mr.
President’s re-election bid if he spoke about
losses to the economy as a result of pipeline
vandalism and huge economic losses to the
country in terms of stolen crude oil.
Answers to allegations of mismanagement of
SURE-P funds being used for political objectives
and the unresolved kerosene import scandals
would perhaps have been helpful. Instead, Mr.
President chose to attack the records of
predecessors, many of whom are not seeking re-
election.
My take away: Mr. President seems to have
forgotten that he is the one seeking re-election
and it is his record in the last 4-6 years (not his
record as Governor of Bayelsa) that would be
helpful to the people in decision making. In case
Mr. President has forgotten, he should ask his
aides to provide tapes of the Obama campaign
for him. President Obama rode into office on a
massive emotional campaign anchored on
change (and that is where the comparison ends)
but in the second term bid, the Republicans were
most scathing, unrelenting and uncompromising
in the public scrutiny of his first term record.
That is what happens in every democracy. It is
not about emotion and last minute allegations of
assassinations.
Even after Obama had taken out Bin Laden, who
claimed responsibility for a terror attack on
America, it took a most passionate presidential
convention speech by his Democratic
predecessor, President Bill Clinton, to defend his
record of service and ‘save’ the Obama re-
election bid. Which one of President Jonathan’s
predecessors will stand up for his record of
service? As far as the economy was concerned,
the president pitched on the size of the Nigerian
economy as the largest in Africa. He was silent
on why the citizens of the largest economy in
Africa still live in darkness. He was silent on why
the football team of the largest economy in
Africa will not be at the Nation’s Cup, when
Cape Verde, the smallest country will be there.
Mr. President, who was addressing young people,
would have helped his own case if he had
explained to them why Bolaji Abdullahi, a young
Sports Minister, under whose tenure we won the
Nations Cup, was removed for political
expediency. I think Mr. President needs to be
reminded that as recently as December 2014,
citizens of the largest economy in Africa were
looking for petrol in jerry cans across Nigerian
cities including Abuja. Instead of revealing the
plan for the next four years on the issues which
Mr. President chose by himself to address, he
sounded angry, and appeared irritated by the
demands of his citizens for a better life. I expect
that Mr. President will seek to do better as he
promised across the next 35 states and FCT.
My take away: A re-election bid is like a job
appraisal or interview; the applicant who seeks
to serve cannot get angry – Anger is not a
strategy. We the citizens must continue to ask
questions. Mr. President made promises to us in
Lagos such as the construction of the road
leading to the Murtala Muhammed Airport. He
promised stable electricity. He promised to keep
us safe. He promised jobs although Nigerian
youths died under his watch while seeking to
serve in the immigration service. Mr. President
must show us that these promises have been
fulfilled, or he must explain why they were not
fulfilled. This is the essence of the social
contract in a democracy.
He must show us that he will not lose more
parts of Nigeria and that he has a clear plan to
reclaim the lost ones and rescue the Chibok girls
who fall into the generation of young people he
chose to address. This is the presidential speech
I waited for. I am still waiting. Mr. President has
35 more states and the FCT to convince us not
to vote for the CHANGE that beckons.
P.S:
If you watched the speech given by the APC
vice-presidential candidate in Benin City on the
same day, please note that he became candidate
only on the 11th of December, 2014? 25 days
ago (not six years ago) yet he was able in half
an hour without a prepared speech to discuss a
plan for security, power, jobs, healthcare and
social security.

The world questions the massacre and our president did not say anything until he was campaigning,taking a swipe at his opponents.He finally said,he had given directives to the NSA to investigate the killings.

I hope he learns from France,17 died and the nations armed forces is at high alert with over 15000 troops defending schools and public places.

Pastor Tunde Bakare Blows Hot!!!
May God punish anyone who says I
was paid to campaign against
Jonathan [SEE VIDEO]
Apparently irked by speculations in
some quarters that he had been paid an
undisclosed amount of money to
campaign against the candidacy of
President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP,
Lagos-based cleric, Pastor Tunde Bakare
of the Latter Rain Assembly has called on
the wrath of God to fall on whoever is
accusing him of taking bribe.
Bakare, who was presidential running
mate to Gen. Buhari on the now rested
Congress for Progress Change, CPC, in
2011 challenged anyone to come forward
with proof that he was paid to speak for
transition government.
Bakare while preaching in his church on
Sunday insisted that there’s nothing he
said that had not been said before,
saying that he was only giving direction.
