Mr. Emiefele, thread carefully!

If Buhari wins, your tenure will not be renewed and if you insult our incoming President, you will be booted out!

Be Neutral and speak the truth!

HenryQuest:
The truth they say is very bitter and Tinubu found it hard to swallow the bitter pills OBJ delivered.

The good news is that Tinubu can never be accepted nationally like OBJ. One (Tinubu) is a local brand while the other (OBJ) is an international brand.

The difference is clear.

Tinubu is actually a regional brand (SW) and not a local brand (national level)
Yes, Obj is an international brand (world over)

Whether u commission the Onitsha Port or the River Kaduna Port or The River Benue Port or the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, we won't still vote you!
The writing is already on the wall

*Mene* God has numbered Buhari reign and has finished it

*Tekel* Buhari has been found wanting

*Peres* His reign has been taken from him and handed to another reject in Atiku whom the Lord has raised!

1. Gov. Ugwuanyi
2. Nyesom Wike
3. Willie Obiano
4. Emmanuel Udom

If you still go ahead to vote for this man, your case pass matter wey dem bind for Mountain of Fire and Miracles!

I forsee Memes in the future coming off this Amaechi facial expressions ��
It's obvious, this man must go back home come the month of May of 2015

E don do!
This man dey go back Daura come 2019!

No be everybody wey carry big chest dey gym, some na people dem carry for mind! Make wickedness and witchcraft jealousy nor kill you! Show us ur own achievement or ur Master own?

Ucheosefoh:
Peter Obi and hypocrisy is like

Back to Daura project2019, a patriotic and Clarion call!

The Great Drunkard!

#Back2DauraProject

yipata:
What you just wrote aint sensible at all.. No Wonder you are supporting #PDP. So you mean a Christian who is faithful to his God and boss can't multiply and expand a biz or even network well with customers..? I shake my head for u. When you set up ur own life and future, give it to a street hustler and known thief. It will really be a blessing for u. Even a beggar knows #PDP is a party for rogues and greedy pigs.

Do you understand life parable, wise sayings or proverbs? Why are more non-christians more successful than christians? Was the point of the story about Christians not capable of succeeding or about individual capabilities?
I have started my own business and I am successful!
You are too young to understand wise sayings, parables and proverbs! Stay away from Nairaland! Watch cartoons or something!

And maybe it's true what they say that you have to be stupid and Dumb to support PMB!

I am particularly drawn to the statement in which, Tinubu had something generous (but untrue) to say about PMB being a man you could leave a naira on the table under his watch and come back to find it!

I find that actually laughable and an insult to PMB!

Let me explain why! You see, my mother is a devoted Christian; my late father was before he backslided (as the christians calls it). By every account, my late Father was rich and had so many shops. Having so many shops came with the problem most business owners in Nigeria contend with: dishonesty and theft by staff!

Mom, being a Christian would implore Dad to hire staff from church only. Dad tried a few times but stopped.

I remember one conversation He had with Mom about the theft and stealing by some of his staff and Mom reinterated why he should go hire a born again, church going christian. My Late Dad response was epic and unconventional; something that has stuck to me till this day.

In response to Mum, Dad has said if he gives a shop to a Christian with a goods worth one million naira, if he comes back the next year, the goods worth might just be 1.25 million naira and this Christian staff may not have stolen a dime from him but when he gives his shop to a Street hustler (a sinner/worldly fella), after a year, the goods worth of the shop becomes 2million naira and that fella may have stolen about a million from him. Plus, this hustler will have more outreach and connection for business! Well, Mum had no come back to that and that was the last time she ever brought that up cos according to her, she saw reason in what he said!

Coming back to what Asiwaju has said about PMB; we know Atiku is a successful businessman and might be corrupt but so is PMB (his integrity persona is a hoax). I would rather we have an Atiku who can propel our country to prosperity (and steal money) than a PMB who will keep us stagnant or backwards (but yet steal only for himself and family)

Remember the story of the 5, 3 and 2 Talent? Now, apply that to what Asiwaju said about PMB.

What Nigeria needs now is more of a businessman and a little less of a politician!

Those people shouting Sowore, or Moghalu or Olawepo, or Durutoye; you are so unreal and disconnected from reality. Folks that can't even win their local government!

If they really and sincerely aspire to lead with example and without Blemish, let them borrow a leaf from Peter Obi, a man so successful as a businessman, ventured into politics and led Anambra state into stability and prosperity.

Come 2019, Make the right choice! I shall be OBIdiently ATIKUlating!

2019,

ABB = Anybody But Buhari

Dear Nairalanders and Compatriots,

The Nigeria Security under this present Goevrnment is truly of grave concern to us all!

There have been the endless killings by Fulani herdsmen and what appears to be the passive support of the APC led government. We are not forgetful of the technically defeated Boko Haram that is still very much alive and even more active than it was in the previous government under Dr. GEJ.

Other national daily security threats yet to be eliminated and still on rampant includes kidnapping, Armed Bank robbery (Offa case comes to mind; the most violent and daring bank robbery in the last eight years) etc.

To think that President Buhari led APC government campaign promises were hinged on security as one of the four cardinal pillars of his campaign promise (the other three are economy, diversification and National unity); the question arises:

Do you think Nigeria is safer now under APC led government of PMB than it was under the PDP government of Dr. GEJ?

Like for PMB if you think so!

Share for Dr. GEJ if you think otherwise!

Be true to yourselves, family, future generation and your nation!

Let the voting and comment begin!

Blessings!

Let him come out and tell us how he killed MKO or who did so!

Happy Birthday Dr. NO I

We remember ur selfless service to our nation and thank you for refusing to be the running late to PMB! That confirms ur integrity!

Many happy returns!

has he apologized to corpers who died because he claimed to have won the election in 2011

Three days ago (9th of June 2018), at the annual law dinner of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Mr. Donald Duke made known his much awaited declaration that he would run for the office of the President of Nigeria! Naturally, the reception to such was welcoming, loud and positive. One of such public person to openly declare his support for Mr. Duke is Popular Nigeria artist and Gongo aso crooner Mr. Abolore Adegbola Akande popularly known as "9ice".

Truthfully, the reception could have been louder! The declaration, perhaps bolder such that it would have been reechoed by the help of happy passionate Nigerians clamouring for a well refined and astute man of his calibre. One who signifies a breath of fresh air and a representative of the new order that has come to take Nigeria to the next level.

Hope

You see for many of us, Donald Duke represents (better still, represented) that hope and aspiration of a new Nigeria by a Nigerian. He was one of the golden generation governors of the class 1999-2007. Aside from his charming looks (considered by many to be the most handsome governor of that class) and calm demeanour, he was modern and dynamic. At least, judging by some of his huge and bold ambitous projects. Some of which are a success (e.g. The cable train car at Obudu, beautification of Calabar and the Calabar Carnival) and have been kept by his predecessor; others have been disastrous (and still continues to bleed the state government e.g. Tinapa). At this juncture, let it be noted that Obudu cattle ranch was never Mr. Duke's idea nor project he initiated (then, i thought it was). Obudu was first explored in 1949 by a Scot and developed further in the 50's and was handed over to the Federal Government of Nigeria when the British left. However, Mr. Duke did a lot in restoring and promoting it.

Ever since his tenure as governor ended in 2007, Duke's name for presidency has always been on the lips of young progressive Nigerians eager to see a western, progressive leadership style of governance that gets things done and finally can place Nigeria on the map for all the good things. Suffice to say that Mr. Duke did attempt to run for office in 2007 but was told to step down for the anointed Late Mr. Musa Yar'dua and Dr. G. E. Jonathan. My hope, like many Nigerians at the time was short lived.

The Revelation

"...Time and Chance happeneth to them all..." Ecc 9:11

In my short 30 years plus leaving on God's earth, i have come to learn that making the right decision is as important as doing it at the right time. This applies to Mr. Duke's declaration. If Mr. Duke had declared earlier by taking advantage PMB's weak and purposeless governance (the worst in our Nation's annals and history will judge it so and even harsly), he would have no doubt been the darling on everyone's lips and next in line to the seat of the president.

As far as i am concerned and there are stats to prove it, the North has ruled Nigeria more than the south but has brought the least developmental stride; and such only a southerner is deserving of that Presidency seat fairly (except there's a capable Northerner with proven track record). For me, the Southerners that seem to stand out and fit to run a complex, diverse and plural society like ours were Mr. Donald Duke and Mr. Peter Obi. Need i to say that i was inclined to take side with Mr. Duke until this revelation was made...

If only Duke had declared his intention to run way ahead of time before Dr. N. O. Iweala published her memoirs (‘Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines) of her second stint as a serving minister in which she sadly but truly described Duke for the man he truly is, Duke may have had a chance to weather it. Below is a shocking and troubling excerpt from the book about Mr. Duke after she had been contacted by for Dr. G. E. Jonathan's government to come and serve for a second stint

"...by now, it was mid-day and i was mulling over these issues when i got a call from another old friend, Governor Donald Duke, former governor of Cross River state. An enlightened governor of the "cleanest state in Nigeria" who had tried to build a tourism service base for his state, he told me in was in Washington, DC and would like to see me. I invited him to my office. Governor Duke told me there were rumours that i was being asked to return as Finance Minister. He asked me if there were any truth in these rumours, I confirmed that i have been asked and was reflecting on it. He then told me that he brought a message from a group of "concerned" whose advice was that i should turn down the offer. I asked him who the concerned people were and what would be their reason for the advice. He would not give me their names but mentioned i would know some of them and even said they were my friends. As to the reasons, he said that these people felt that my acceptance "would give Jonathan and his government credibility" and he did not deserve that. If i turned down the offer, the administration would be weak and would likely not succeed." - ‘Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines,’

I could not believe my eyes as i read that page from the book. My heart shrank and i felt beclouded by darkness and grief for Nigeria.

Note: Before a mischievous element tries to dispel or discredit Dr. NOI assertion, be aware that in former president OBJ latest book "Under my watch", one condition OBJ gave for supporting this treacherous government of PMB was that PMB must pick Dr. NOI as his running mate cos she was was to be the VP as well as run the economy. El-rufai told PMB of OBJ proposal to which PMB agreed to it. When OBJ told Dr. NOI, she refused to work with PMB. Talk of a woman with standard and integrity!

Faded Hope

Those words about Mr. Duke's perfidious acts went running through my mind wildly for days. I went into great grief for my dear country. i remember saying these words "...is there no one faithful even from the elect?...". From Comrade Oshiomole to Mr. Rochas and Now Duke Bunch of disappointments despite having a promising start!

Every stunt Mr. Duke tried to pull after such revelation e.g. when he claimed his wife sent him "on an errand" made me disdain him even the more! I was a bit lighthearted when people also shared the same feeling about him. I was lighthearted because there are still sincere Nigerians and loving patriots.

I wish i could ask Mr. Duke certain personal questions like who are those concerned people he represented? Declaring for President, does it mean he would be doing to the bidding of these powerful group or to the masses that voted him in? Why would anyone try to sabotage Nigeria greater glory for a few men good? Is OBJ among these concerned group (cos i feel that old man is)? Is trying to destroy a man work and image not likened to an act of witchcraft?...i could go on and on!

In the aftermath of such revelation, a friend of mine said that i should neither blame them nor feel disappointed in them because power corrupts and that if i ever got the chance to hold power, i might do the same or even worse. Respectfully, I do not agree and certainly hope in God's grace.

In Michelle Obama words about her husband remaining grounded and unchanged at the Dem convention in 2012 "...being President doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are"

To Donald Duke and his constitutional guaranteed right to run for the office of the President, i wish him all the best!

I can only say Alas, another faded hope of Nigeria future.

Let me add by saying given an option between PMB and Donald Duke, clearly i will vote for Duke. In fact, 2019 is [b]ABB (Anything But Buhari)[/b]

Since Mr. Duke has been eliminated as one of the two candidate from Southern Nigeria and barring any other more capable and qualified candidate that may seek to run for the office of the President from Southern Nigeria, my clear choice right now is solely for Mr, Peter Obi that is [i][/i]if he agrees to run.

I desire this write up sparks up honest opinion that is deeply rooted in patriotism for Nigeria. I would love to know what they are! Do so maturely, please!

Blessings,
Somtitous!
