Actually he did. He threatened that Nigeria would be ungovernable if anyone rigged elections.
Well, that translated to if he loses.
And here we are.

You are a bloody LIAR! Buhari has lost the election and moved on with his normal quiet life. Buhari as a Presidential candidate only urged his supporters to protect their votes. Buhari remains the only Nigerian former/sitting HOS with incorruptible stance and unparalleled integrity.

As the HOS, Buhari descended on moslem fundamentalists and boxed them up before they could fledge into a cancer. He threw a wide anti-corruption net on politicians with only few of them coming out clean. During Buhari time, people started queueing up and taking their turns for services as obtained in developed nations in the world. School children dared not misbehave or stray out of the schools "codes of conduct". As children, we were fully baptised with d fact that there was an ongoing "war against indiscipline and corruption".

We were constantly reminded we needed to be disciplined because we are the leaders of tomorrow.

He stood up against IMF policies that destroyed GHANA's economy. He called IMF bluff and implemented only the policies  that were believed to better Nigerian economy.

Like every determined leader that is passionate about his people's economic fortune, he made few mistakes but his intentions remain unquestionable.

Buhari was called back to service again during the Abacha administration to serve a d PTF Head. He immediately gave a new definition to service delivery.  Those who are too young to witness all these should  go to their village and LGA.

Buhari's PTF touched every nook es and crannies of this country. Building new hospitals and equipping old ones. I challenge you haters to visit Teaching Hospitals, Federal Universities, Federal Libraries, and General Hospitals in your locality and you will see PTF logos still adorning most of the buildings and materials after 13 years Buhari's PTF.

What do we have since OBJ, Yaradua and the worst of them all: GEJ? legitimized corruption, misplaced priorities, cluelessness of highest orders, utter disrespect for human lives among other ills.

For those of you that pless you hands on umbllela enjoy the fresh air and leave the innocent man alone. If you believed so much he is the solution to yah problems you should have heeded dispassionate advices and voted with your head not your hearts.

If Buhari has any link to BH tell your boy without shoes to STOP him. Afterall that is why you all elected him.

This is mainly for those of you living and travelling into the Northern part of Nigeria. Me and my friends have been working on a portable "bomb-detector" badge. I was motivated by GEJ unparalleled "security" deficiencies and his obvious lack of respect for human lives, like he demonstrated in the last elections.

The device can detect any **** circuit or **** chemical within 100 meters of the wearer. Please dont leave your security to GEJ and his clueless security chiefs.

PointB a.k.a Beaf is counting bodies in 1000s as milestones for GEJ to act. Don't become a part of their statistics protect your family and friends to the best of your ability.

semidaraeb:
MODERATORS I think its about time this thread gets locked, it really silly and dumb, there is nothing to be gained here, enough as being said already by Beaf and co.

Why should the thread be locked? Because people are openly expressing their displeasure peacefully and not carrying arms like other nations?.
So Beaf and co are right to insult and call other former sitting Presidents names but its wrong for others to call GEJ names.

This is what you get when people are being pushed to the wall everyday by insensitive utterances, focus-less administration, unabated looting, consistent inconsistencies, excruciating inactions,  governance over-politicalization, infinite hopelessness, and systemic corruption.

As corrupt as OBJ is, when he started his NAPEP/Poverty alleviation programme (though largely poorly executed) yet so many people at local levels benefited. Hence most OBJ critics, during this period, could only complain about the manner in which loans, grants and business aids were ending up with PDP loyalists and how the programme was poorly conceived. His personality was not overwhelmingly attacked because he was giving us items to pounder over.  But the moment he derailed and started sowing the seeds of the 3rd term agenda we went for his b.alls.

Everyday people wake-up and look towards Aso-Rock for some good news they can hinge their hopes on, GEJ always come out dry. So what/who do you expect them to criticize; GEJ personality of course. Presidency is not a royal throne; its a call to service and most times doesnt come with eulogy. If GEJ want some respect he should sit-up and do his job well.

kulutempa:
If Jonathan Goodluck doesn't want to be insulted, he should start doing the right things for this country by reducing the waste of our resources and fighting corruption.  He should give the average Nigerian things that citizens of other less well endowed countries take for granted, like regular electricity, pipe borne water,  decent and well equipped hospitals, schools,  and a good road and rail network.  He should lead by example and earn our respect by his actions, not his words.  Until he does that, he will not earn my respect and he will deserve every insult he gets.  To all those who say he should be treated like a sacred cow, my response is as follows:

YOU DON'T ASK,  OR BEG FOR RESPECT, YOU EARN IT.

God please see GEJ through 2015. Give him wisdom to accept he should quit and allow an able body to take over. How I wish those of us against his presidency will be proved wrong. I see dangers ahead.,.,.,

For all those who mean well for GOODLUCK JONATHAN and NIGERIA please always ignore Beaf in your discussions. I have finally confirmed Beaf is on a personal/sponsored mission to destroy Jonathan.,.,.,still cant figure out why.


[quote author=king-child link=topic=746997.msg9036181#msg9036181 date=1314642295]@Demdem,

You sound very mature here. You get the logic, but maybe you do not know what you are asking for; bring who to book? If I may ask? BHs are ghosts. They are not like the MASSOB who we know their leaders. MEND that you and I can tell their hideout. Can’t you get it?

Like my Yoruba people will say, ENUDU N ROFO` {it’s easier said than done}

Even the big mouthed GADAFFI that was sounding like an almighty during the GEJ Turai saga is hiding now. ---- And these are people he can see. Do you understand conspiracy theory? Go read it up. Then you will understand why the police always ask you to be quite cos’ whatever you say would be used against you in court. Sorry I’m sounding down but then I must point out some fact here.

We are loosing lives everyday, yes that’s true but then only the wise son would here the sound of an ant. So be calm and be courageous.

If you are a manager that uses pressure to drive your results, very soon you will be out of job. Not pressure my friend but precedence.

Nigeria is ours get that. Or you want a history of a divided Nigeria during GEJ dispensation.

Can you still remember your National Pledge?[/quote]Bros hey. Can I ask how many lives are u looking at before we have the freedom to criticize those who swore and being paid to secure lives and properties? What GEJ critics are asking for are visible and efficient efforts at caging BH. We do not expect him to solve the problem by a swerve of arm but we are worried of the Govt priorities when people are dying everyday. They keep focussing on tenure elongation, removal of an 'unfriendly' Judge, celebrating Obamas birthday, arresting someone for asking for accountability etc. I dont want to start repeating many of his insensitive speeches after every disaster.

I totally disagree with u on efficiency of Pressure as a tool in management. Coordinated use of Pressure has proven to bring out time and quality efficiencies in many mgt endeavours. Ok if d mild method is better why are BH still coming back and killing more? GEJ rising up and whirling the big stick will definitely encourage overwhelming supports from many Nigerians who are tired of this unnecessary waste of human lives; this doesnt mean the problem will be solved immediately but more and more people will start finding it worthwhile to join in the fight to track the BH. BH have killed more northerners/moslems than xtian. In fact most of their targets are moslem 'infidels' and moslem leaders. They have forced 3 ex-Govs to make public apology because the Govs (who are all moslems) 'thrust' BH words than GEJ's.


If GEJ fear is that Nigeria should remain united under him then we are really in danger. GEJ has been in positions of authority in the last 12 years (~2 yrs as a C in C) and  should have realised economic and social stabilities are the most important factors in ensuring political stability in a democracy. He should stop telling people about 6 yrs tenure when 18 in 20 graduates have no jobs. He should stop telling us where the next PDP chairman is  coming from when more almajiris are still flocking the streets everyday. If he had shown himself to be focus and had ensured his cabinet is dominated by 'brilliant' people he would have easily succeeded in shifting most idle people's attention to growth and development. Many would have been preoccupied on how they can benefit in various economic activities in their local area. BH issue would have been easier to handle;many who have hopes in his Govt programmes will defend their hope and chase away the few 'mad dogs'. It is not too late for GEJ to make amends

Has anybody noticed some improvements in GEJ PR since the coming of Abati? Unlike Ima Niboro days I have noticed some marginal plus and really wish more of Abati and Okonje hold sway in GEJ decision making process. GEJ taking decisions with those VDV ministers and without Okonjos or Abatis is a dailly wahala, even for those of us that never voted/supported him.

GEJ dropped another bomb-shell yesterday at the UN bomb scene in front of the whole world and I am very sure he has not reharsed answer to that particular question with Abati before coming to the scene. GEJ has no verifiable records of problem solving and really needs Okonjo for the Nation's economic direction now.

What I disagree with is his method of officially declaring Okonjo superior to other Ministers in an FEC meeting. All he needs is just a body language and all the ministers will get the message without much rancour. My fear now is that GEJ as the president with uncoordinated and well-thought-through statements is exposing these Super minister to danger from politicians that are used to killing anything that impede their looting freedom.

Congratulations to all objective NL GEJ critics as some of your efforts are yielding results albeit slowly. GEJ got the Salami message and Katsina-Alu has been eased out, he was forced to come to UN bomb scene in 'Oshiomole' patented outfit just the way NL expect only for the 'bad' journalist to ask a difficult question to spoil the good show. NL critics should please keep up the heat on GEJ because whether we like it or not we are stuck with him till 2015.

After reading through most comments here I can but wonder what we NL political forumites stand for.
I was one of d people that did everything within our personal abilities to see Buhari or Ribadu win the Presidential election. But I knew even in a 100% free and fear election and the circumstances of the election time PDP would have still carried the day.

Now we have a President that needs our constant, consistent but CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms to keep him on his toes. Thanks to many critics on this forum and other fora GEJ has just "acted" for d first time like a President that values lives and properties of his subjects.

Lives have been lost, properties have been destroyed, and future consequences are still being expected and the only thing many people see in GEJ visit is what he is wearing and how cool he is looking or otherwise. Instead of people to take his words, charge him into action in their own little ways, and continue criticizing every single step he puts wrong we are here "comicalizing"  his visit.

For those who possibly do not understand the implications of GEJ government failure and really wish he fails, these are possible unfolding consequences for all of us that wake up 5 o clock everyday and come back 9 o clock:

* Our friends and family members travelling through/ to the hot zones are constantly being exposed to attacks and various forms of insecurities on daily basis
* GEJ continue failure means :Nigerian economy continue failure:Nigerian Banks failure: More bankers to go : No Bank ready to lend for investment.,.,.
* I expect our revenue from oil and gas sales to the west to shrink in the coming months for following world issues: America current credit rating and d compromise agreement btw DEMO & REPUB to cut deficit and spend less, UK will continue cutting costs and spending, Spain and Italy which are ones of largest buyers of our LNG are gradually slipping into red financial zone

* Less sales from oil means less revenue to the states and LGA and more bad roads, no electricity.,.,.,
* For those Lagosians that believe as long as Fashola is doing fine GEJ can fail for all they care remember Lagos economy in a function of success of the Nigeria National economy.

* For those who are planning to run abroad : This week a Nigerian jumped to his death in China because the Chinese police were going to check his visa, visits visa to UK that normally takes days before now takes months, and many Nigerians are being deported from many Western countries on a daily basis, An American bank refused an account with a church once they discovered it was a Nigerian church, Malaysian government are currently worried and planning to act on the influx of Nigerians into the country.

Agreed, GEJ is weak and not fit to be a President BUT vast majority of Nigerians have chosen him to lead us until 2015. We have no other home and we should always act to improve our nation in spite of the odds.

ov:
Following the UN bombings in Abuja, several
leaders have expressed their disapproval of
the event. From ex heads of state to former
ministers to academicians and even militants
in the Niger Delta.


But what strikes me the most is the fact that
Buhari hasn't made any comment thus far. I
won't be surprised if he is involved in all these
after all, it was soon after he lost to the
incumbent that boko haram took a new turn
and started all these dastardly acts.


Yes, Buhari may have declared openly he
would not challenge the people's mandate and
electoral decision. Perhaps this may be his
own way of 'challenging' or protesting the fact
Nigerians did not vote for him. I cannot recall
Buhari openly condemning any activity of
these sect called boko haram - except of
course my memory is fading away or I am not
totally informed. HE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED A SUSPECT.


As for boko haram, for certain it/they is/are
heavily financed! They definitely will be using
bank accounts to sponsor their ill saken
activities or idealogies and philosophies. I
wonder why they can't track them down through this means.


In terms of safety, the security agencies had information that there was going to be an attempt to bomb somewhere in the FCT region since Monday and thus tightened security. Painfully the attempt became a reality- a successful one at that. This is simply complacency on the paths of our security agencies except ofcourse if the bombs were assembled in Abuja.



More importantly, I thought Boko haram was against education but now they are clamouring for the entrenchment of the sharia law into the Nigerian constitution. Please Nigeria belongs to ALL of us and not one silly Islamic MINORITY sect from the north.


But again if this sect desires to be governed under the sharia laws, I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is killing people in the name of illiteracy or/and sharia. We should simply give them their own country where they can bomb themselves under their own sovereignty. Let's see how they will survive.


I am therefore forced to agree with the ousted Libyan president Ghaddafi when he said Nigeria needed to split up  along geopolitical lines or religious lines.thus tightened security. Painfully the attempt became a reality- a successful one at that. This is simply complacency on the paths of our security agencies except ofcourse if the bombs were assembled in Abuja.

People like you always look for another scape-goat to blame for your failings. All GEJ backers knew he has no track record of achievements or attempted efforts at changing negative situations into good ones but you all, because of religion and ethnic sentiments installed him as your C in C.

You are faced, on daily basis, with GEJ (like most of his predecessors) sowing seeds of damaging consequences now manifesting now and you still looking for an innocent man to pin GEJ inefficiencies on.

I remember GEJ/PDP threathened to arrest Buhari as his campaigns b/4 elections were becoming intimidating; I think GEJ should have been more than happy to finally arrest and prosecute him since 'he is the terroridt behind all the attacks'.

Let me refresh your memory. Scores of innocent lives were lost on 2010 independence day and GEJ came on air and told us IBB/Dokpesi were responsible. Even showing us text messages on NTA news. Have you asked yourself what efforts has GEj made to purnish his 'known' offenders and make sure this doesnt happen again.

Let me borrow from the 'great' one. "You should put culpability where culpability belongs" GEJ has been constitutionally empowered and he swore to protect lives and properties including punishing all  criminals (including IBB, OBJ, Buhari, Ciroma, etc if found guilty of crimes).

When Americans are loosing jobs they blame/query/look-up to Obama to answer questions which he does, and still doing till tomorrow. They dont care they were brought into this situation by the Republicans in d forst place. When UK went on flame Boris , Cameron and Tottenham MP were all on the streets, taking punches and jeers. Many arrested culprits including children of Millionaires have been apprehended and facing justice now.

U voted for Jonathan and its time you lots start asking him what he does with his time everyday as a President.
