It pays to be upright no matter what condition you find yourself. The man could have had it all if he had decided to move to PDP since 1999. In fact, he would have become president if he had been in PDP.

GMB is the only former military General that is not part or has never been part of PDP to loot or enrich himself. All former military Generals are in PDP today. Obasanjo did everything to get him to become PDP member but Buhari refused.

Buhari's aura of incorruptibility is lame and asinine. It is also over flogged and undeserved ask IBB:

Not to incite violence when you are a leader.

goalburner:
Everything about GEJ campaign involve violence.
Same as Ekiti election

Like soaking baboons and dogs in blood right?

He is a violent man

Gathering the foot soldiers for the job

No blood soaking!

Good leaders don't soak their citizens in blood of baboons & dogs.

Buhari is a product of quota system and defective process that throws up to the fore illiterate or semi illiterate from the northern part of Nigeria as leaders. They are usually Fulani cattle rearers who believe they are born to rule. They have managed to silence the aboriginal Hausa people and created a new amorphous tribe called the Hausa/Fulani.

There is no tribe like this except in the eyes of the beneficiary of the feudal system. The Fulani are less than 5 million people in Nigeria including the recently imported bororro but they have cornered a major part of the common wealth.

The biggest people marginalized in Nigeria are the real Hausa. Before the Terrorist Fulani dispersed all over, they terrorized the Hausa and reduced them to serfs starting from 1804 when the itinerant Fulani came from Futa Jallon. Because the strategy worked on the Hausa they expanded it to the Yoruba in Ilorin. Then they moved further south in their irrational attempt to dip the Koran into the sea.

The resistance of this strategy by the middle belt and southern tribes has led to the current war of attrition that involves boko haram. Check the revanchists, they are all Fulani- Buhari, El Ruffian, Atiku, junior Muhhammad to name a few. Ribaldu and Abubakar Umar are also Fullani but they are better. So is Sanusi and all the Emir of the North including the Yoruba town of Ilorin.

If Buhari was from any other tribe he would be a shoe shiner. He is semi illiterate. When he went to the defense academy, it was nothing but a glorified primary school and Buhari struggled there as attested to by those who knew him then. However, joining the military was part of the Fulani strategy of controlling power in Nigeria. Buhari is a beneficiary of this revanchists and irredentist process.

Another Ilorin in the making?

Don't forget the victims of Buhari's violence in 2011.

PapiWata:
You have a keen eye on history. These facts simply cannot be disputed by any sane person.

Thank you brother. I just want Nigerians to be educated about what is going on so that they can make informed decision about this irredentist called Buhari. Some have panicked about GEJ but he was set up to fail by the defective system created by the revanchists. Six years is not enough for him to correct the ills the Fulani drew up since 1804.

GEJ is simply a better alternative. I am not calling anyone the devil but even if you have to make a choice between the devil and his brother, methinks you better take the brother.

general Buhari will not be forget in our mind cos' of the glorious things he has done when he was d military head of state in 1983-1985. we do pray and fast to God to give us God fearing leaders and i strongly believe God has gave God fearing leader.the will of God is coming to pass in our lives cos' we tired of lies from PDP government. by the special grace of God the will of GOD and the will of the masses will prevail on feb 14,2015 election by the special grace of God.

I guess Buhari arrested and executed your English teacher because I can't decipher your gibberish here.

docadams:
Yours has been presented to the dogs.

I guess to this kind of dogs. Sai Buhari! By the time he finishes soaking dogs and baboons in blood, you won't find any dog to present gripes to. We are on the same team and you did not even know it. Help Omonuan and I to save the dogs from Buhari's violence.

The dogs are crying for help. Be humane stop Buhari and his urchins from themselves.

They are selling dummies to Nigerians. Buhari has no chance to win, just like Amaechi wasted his money, he is wasting his time and money too. He needs to go and launch his new book. He should invite ISIS, Egyptian Muslim brotherhood and shekau to the launching.

Buhari is his own worst enemy!

Buhari's new book to be launched soon. The chairman of the occasion would be Imam Shekau and special guest will be Mathew Aremu Okikiola Olu Obasanjo. Foreword of the book will be done by ISIS and Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood will send a special delegate.

Institute of Buhari studies

Do you blame him? So many threats of violence and violence from his enemies.

The only way to stop these threats and violence is to stop their sponsors. Buhari can stop these boko haram guys but he is reticent because he thinks they help his political fortunes. He is busy looking for blood to soak baboons and dogs in.

How we go do now?

Alimi and Kankanfo Afonja ? Voodoo economist Alimi, I mean Buhari promised to stabilize oil price and invariably Naira!

The reenactment of Alimi and Afonja alliance?

Message to Nigerians from the grave.

Message to Nigerians from haven by two of the victims of Buhari mayhem in 2011.

Who Is Afraid of Goodluck Jonathan? (2)

on December 16, 2014 / in Femi Aribisala 11:25 am / Comments


By Femi Aribisala
APC members have shown greater determination in attacking the Nigerian government than in attacking the Boko Haram.

On September 24, 2014, Atiku Abubakar of the APC declared at the Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja that he was running to be president of Nigeria. The occasion was without incident. This was followed on October 15, 2014 by Muhammadu Buhari of the APC who declared in Eagle’s Square, Abuja that he was also running for president. Again, the occasion was without incident.

But on November 10, 2014, the day before Goodluck Jonathan declared that he was running for president at Eagle Square in Abuja, the Boko Haram struck. 50 students were killed and about 80 injured in a suicide bombing in Potiskum, Yobe State. This shows in clear and unambiguous terms that the Boko Haram has no problem with either Atiku or Buhari running for president. But it is against Goodluck Jonathan.

Brotherhood of insurgency

The “coincidence” between Boko Haram assaults and PDP events and their lack of incidence at APC events has become a standard operational procedure. On September 26, 2014, Rabiu Kwankwaso, PDP governor of Kano State, and four other PDP governors, defected to the APC. Bombs did not explode as a result of this. However, on April 14, 2014, the day before Ibrahim Skekarau, former governor of Kano State was welcomed by Jonathan to the PDP at a rally in Kano after defecting from the APC; over 80 people were killed by the Boko Haram with a bomb planted at the Nyanya motor park near Abuja.

It is incontestable that the Boko Haram script against the PDP aligns conveniently with the interests of the APC. Indeed, instead of condemning the Boko Haram for killing innocent Nigerians, the APC seizes on these murderous incidents to attack the PDP for not cancelling the events both the Boko Haram and the APC are determined should not hold.

Accordingly, Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, accused the president of dancing “Azonto” on the occasion of Shekarau’s defection rally instead of being concerned about the killings. When the bombs went off the day before Jonathan’s declaration of his candidacy, Mohammed again declared as “utterly insensitive and absolutely callous” the decision of the president not to cancel the scheduled event; saying the president was: “dancing on the graves of the students.” But as any right-thinking person knows, cancelling the event would have been tantamount to succumbing to Boko Haram blackmail.

APC readily exploits national calamities in order to score cheap political points. This leads to the conclusion that it is either complicit in the attacks or insensitive to them. The APC does not seem to believe it can win the coming election against a sitting president and an entrenched PDP. Therefore, its assignment is that of an unscrupulous mischief-maker that would do anything and use anything to undermine the government of Nigeria.

Who is afraid of Goodluck Jonathan running for president in 2015? Two main protagonists have a consanguinity of interests: the Boko Haram and the APC.

Boko Haram apologists

There can be no question that the interests of the Boko Haram and those of the APC are in tandem; leading observers like Femi Fani-Kayode to declare that as the IRA (Irish Republican Army) was the armed wing of the political Sinn Fein in Britain; so can the Boko Haram be described as the armed wing of the APC in Nigeria. As a confirmation of this, APC members have shown greater determination in attacking the Nigerian government than in attacking the Boko Haram. However, now that they are fishing for votes nationally, some of their prominent Northern figures are now attacking the insurgents.

Let us take, for example, the position of the presidential candidate they have finally chosen; three-time loser Muhammadu Buhari. For years Buhari, who often betrays inadvertently his true colours as a sectional and sectarian Northern champion, was an ardent apologist for the Boko Haram. In an interview with Kaduna’s Radio Liberty in November 2012, Buhari demanded that the Federal Government should stop the clampdown of Boko Haram insurgents, insisting they should be given special treatment like the Niger Delta militants.

These are Buhari’s words: “They (the Niger Delta militants) were trained in some skills and were given employment, but the ones in the north were being killed and their houses were being demolished. They are different issues. What brought this? It is injustice.” That same year, Buhari said he does believe there is a real movement called Boko Haram and claimed the federal government of Nigeria was: “the biggest Boko Haram.”

Wole Olaniyi was a fly in the wall at a meeting in Kano Government House in 2013 designed to persuade rebel PDP governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to decamp to the APC. Assuming that only Northerners were present, Buhari declared the Boko Haram was a “strategic plan” by the government of Goodluck Jonathan to “destroy the North.” When Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, Buhari came out against it. Seeing the conflict with Northern goggles, Buhari claimed Goodluck Jonathan was using the insurgency as an excuse to wage war on the North.

Attempt at volte face

It is necessary to remind Nigerians of this position of Buhari because now that he is shopping for Christian and Southern votes, he is singing a different tune. He is now smooth-talking Nigerians; naming Christians before Moslems in his speeches, and putting the South before the North in them. But let us not forget that Buhari was so clearly identified as a friend of the Boko Haram that, in November 2012, Abu Mohammed Ibn Abdulaziz, the second-in-command to Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, in announcing a readiness to negotiate a ceasefire with the Nigerian government, named Buhari as one of the few “trusted” Nigerians it would be ready to negotiate with.

Buhari’s blatant sectarianism has not gone unnoticed. Ayo Oritsejafor, president of the PFN (Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria) was so incensed by Buhari’s defense of the Boko Haram insurgency that he asked that Buhari should be arrested. Oritsejafor said: “This can only mean that the retired General is a fanatic. He is, therefore, the prime leader of this religious and blood-thirsty sect called Boko Haram, a movement that is based on a warped interpretation of a strict adherence to force people of other religions into Islam. This is why I call for the arrest of Buhari now. Buhari is a big security risk to Nigeria’s corporate existence.”

Truly progressive Northerners also sought to distance themselves from Buhari’s sectarianism. Jibril Mamman Vatsa, spokesman of the Arewa Youths Forum, said: “Buhari does not speak for all Northern leaders. His statements on Boko Haram exist as part of a continuum of Northern leaders’ responses to the problem, which have ranged from proposing dialogue to condemning the FG’s approach to, if some allegations are to be believed, actively supporting the movement. If the Boko Haram members are becoming more daring by the day, it is because of the support given to them by some highly placed persons.”

Refurbished image

However, now that Buhari is gunning again for the presidency and seeking votes from a national constituency, the need has now arisen for him to tamp down his pro Boko Haram rhetoric.
Therefore, in an about turn, he is now pretending to be a big critic of the Boko Haram. He says: “These people, whose actions are not sanctioned by any religion and who subscribe to no known values, will not succeed. Our people are resilient and strong, and our nation is capable, based on our rich human and material resources, of successfully tackling these nihilists. We will together see the end of them and their reign of terror.”

Buhari’s new stance should not be believed. A chameleon can only change its colour; it cannot change its shape. Buhari would now like us to see him as the Messiah who would bring the Boko Haram insurgency, which he said was a Southern ruse, under control. To do this successfully, Buhari needed to be refurbished as an enemy of the Boko Haram. Into this new playbook came the alleged attack on his life by the insurgents.

APC supporters should forgive me for being totally cynical about this. The so-called attack on Buhari’s life benefits no one but Buhari himself because it fits into his new script of trying to distance himself from the Boko Haram. Buhari does not normally go around in a bullet-proof car. But quite conveniently, when he was attacked, he had borrowed one especially on that occasion. His car was not bombed but sprayed with bullets. Some people died from the attendant bomb blast, but not a single one of Buhari’s aides died. In any case, the Boko Haram never declared they were the ones after Buhari.

APC blunder

Rather than condemn Buhari’s attackers, the APC was more interested in using the incident to absolve itself of complicity in the spate of terrorist attacks in Nigeria. Lai Mohammed issued a statement saying: “If indeed the APC is behind Boko Haram and General Buhari is a sympathiser of the evil group, as the Federal Government wants the world to believe, could it be that the insurgents do not know their leaders or sympathisers, assuming they are behind the attacks? Whatever happens now, the satanic and repulsive theory of the PDP-led Federal Government that the opposition APC is using Boko Haram to truncate the administration of Jonathan is up in flames.”

Lai Mohammed blundered with this statement. It easily leads to the conclusion that the whole point of the attack on Buhari was to launder the image of the APC and distance it from the Boko Haram. This was quickly recognized by the PDP.

Olisa Metuh, the PDP national publicity secretary said: “We are shocked, disappointed and disgusted that the APC leaders chose to use the ugly development to embark on image laundering. Nigerians now ponder; they ask, was the attack a setup aimed at scoring some political points? Or could it be APC’s desperate strategy of trying to disentangle itself from the internationally acknowledged link with terrorists and possibly undermine the planned probe of their involvement by the United Kingdom?”

Who is Afraid of Goodluck Jonathan? (1)

on December 02, 2014 / in Femi Aribisala 7:54 am / Comments


By Femi Aribisala
Goodluck Jonathan must be the most feared Head of State in the history of Nigeria.

Some people say Goodluck Jonathan is “clueless.” They would also have us believe he is a weak president. If so, how come his opponents are greatly afraid of him? People are not inclined to fear weaklings. Therefore it is telling that Goodluck Jonathan must be the most feared Head of State in the history of Nigeria.

Since he was thrown up as president by divine providence, Jonathan has elicited the most vociferous opposition ever. Every trick in the book has been thrown at him to stop him from becoming president and from continuing to be president. At every turn, this has failed woefully. The evidence indicates that the opposition is convinced that Jonathan is unstoppable at the polls. Therefore, the emphasis has been directed more at preventing him from running for president and at frustrating his rule than at defeating him at the 2015 election.

Serial losers

Jonathan fought the 2011 election with a mystic that completely overwhelmed the opposition. A cabal from the North insisted another Northerner must complete Yar’Adua’s term of office. In the process, they turned the election into a regional contest. A clique in the PDP decided to shortlist and select a Northern opponent against Jonathan, convinced that his defeat would be a foregone conclusion.

They rejected a former president, Ibrahim Babangida, and chose Atiku Abubakar, a former vice-president no less, and heir of the much-vaunted PDM political machinery of the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua; to apply the knock-out punches to Jonathan in the PDP presidential primaries of 2011. But surprise surprise, the election was not even close. Jonathan not only defeated Atiku, he practically eviscerated the man.

Thereafter, the hope of the Northern cabal fell to another regional champion, Mohammadu Buhari. On paper, Jonathan was no match for Buhari. Buhari was much better known and much better hyped. He had been Head of State some 30 years earlier, and had refused to leave the political scene thereafter. He fought the election for the presidency twice and lost twice. Then he had to face Jonathan, allegedly a “greenhorn.”

Again, the election was not close. Jonathan dismantled Buhari with a plurality of over 10 million votes. He even obtained 8 million votes in the North, to Buhari’s 12 million. Then he practically cleaned up in the South. From then on, the fear of Jonathan became the political wisdom of the cabal. This has manifested in a number of shenanigans in the past four years. However, the outcome of these has only been to strengthen Jonathan’s position as he proceeds to go to the electorate again in 2015 to seek a second-term in office.

Sour grapes

Having lost the PDP primaries ignominiously to Jonathan, Atiku became a prophet of doom. He said: “those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.” Of course, the only change that is peaceful is the one whereby Jonathan either foregoes re-election or is defeated at the polls. A Jonathan victory was, in the logic of Atiku, an invitation to violent change.

But one needs to ask the former vice-president this question: “Would the proposed violent change spare prophet Atiku, who was vice-president for eight years and who is alleged to have cornered juicy public companies from his vantage point as head of the privatization program under Obasanjo?” Perceptions are sometimes more important than reality. Therefore, violent change would also have Atiku as one of its primary targets.

For his part, the threats of Muhammadu Buhari during the 2011 election campaign led to widespread violence by his supporters in the North after he lost. They went on a rampage; looting and killing; in spite of the fact that, by all accounts, the elections were adjudged the most free and fair in the history of Nigeria’s current democratic experiment. By the time the mayhem had subsided, over 1000 people had been slaughtered in cold blood, including innocent National Youth Service Corp members, and some 65,000 Nigerians became displaced.

Undaunted, Buhari went on to declare in a statement made pointedly in Hausa in a BBC interview that: “If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.”

Phantom agreement

Having realised that by some political alchemy, Goodluck Jonathan is impregnable at the polls, the strategy of his opponents has been to insist that he cannot seek re-election, instead of making concrete plans about how to defeat him at the polls. The Niger State governor, Babngida Aliyu, suddenly came up with the allegation that Jonathan had earlier signed an agreement with some governors in 2011 that he would not seek re-election but would only serve for one term; after which the PDP presidential candidacy would be zoned to the North.

This was curious at best. Northerners had ruled the country for long stretches of 38 out of 54 years; at no time were any of them required to sign term-limit agreements. But now that it was the turn of a South-South president, we were meant to believe such an agreement was extracted from him by Northern governors. In any case, where exactly was this agreement? If it existed, then it should be published for all to see.

However, Aliyu and his cohorts could not produce the alleged document, leading to the conclusion that it was nothing more than another ruse. The president’s men were unequivocal in maintaining that Jonathan signed no such agreement. Even if he did, everyone knows that there is no honour among Nigerian politicians. Therefore, that gambit also turned out to be a waste of time.

Legal option

The next strategy was to contest Jonathan’s eligibility to seek re-election in the courts; on the grounds that he has been president for two terms already. This strategy failed woefully. Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi ruled from the FCT that Jonathan’s assumption of office after the untimely death of President Yar’Adua fell under the National Assembly’s doctrine of necessity. The Constitution stated that no man could be elected president more than twice for a total of eight years. But Jonathan has only been elected president once.

Justice Oniyangi said: “After the death of Umaru Yar’adua, there was no election or by-election, President Jonathan was merely asked to assume the office of the President in line with the doctrine of necessity. He was not elected as the President but was made to assume office by virtue of Yar’adua’s death. Having exhausted the late President’s tenure, he sought for his party’s ticket and ran for the office of the President successfully in the 2011 general elections. He is therefore currently serving his first tenure of office, and if he so wishes he is eligible to further seek his party’s ticket through the party’s primary election and to run for office in 2015.”

Opposition threats

This called for yet another strategy, therefore the opposition decided to employ fire and brimstone. Lawal Kaita, now of the opposition APC, said: “We will make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan.” The objective remained the same. These people knew they could not defeat Jonathan at the polls; therefore their primary assignment was to prevent him from running for re-election.

Junaid Mohammed fired one of the early salvos. He said: “Quote me, if Jonathan insists on running, there will be bloodshed and those who feel short-changed may take the warpath.”
Senator Joseph Waku of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) followed suit: “President Jonathan should not even contemplate making any move to contest the 2015 election because such will be catastrophic.” Murtala Nyako, the former governor of Adamawa, echoed this, saying: “we must stop President Goodluck Jonathan’s attempt to go for second term, as that will lead to civil war.”

What has happened to Waku’s catastrophe and Nyako’s civil war? These were all vain threats. Who did Nyako have in mind to fight his civil war for him? Since making these threats, Nyako has been ignominiously removed as governor of Adamawa State. Nobody shed any crocodile tears for him. On the other hand, his nemesis, Goodluck Jonathan has declared that he is running for second term and there has not been a riot, not to talk of civil war. As a matter of fact, he has been endorsed as the sole candidate of the PDP.

Preparing for defeat

This means back to the drawing-board for the APC. Since they now know they cannot stop Jonathan from contesting, they have started planning for their anticipated defeat at the polls. Their position is simple. If Jonathan wins, then they would claim the election was rigged. That would be grounds for bringing out the thugs and area boys to kill, steal and destroy.

Thus, the APC started accusing the PDP of rigging an election that has yet to take place. In a speech made during Buhari’s declaration of his fourth bid for the presidency, Rotimi Amaechi said: “We will punish these people… They are banking on using security against us. We shall teach them lesson. We will fight with our body, with our lives because there must be change this time.”

At the APC’s so-called Salvation Rally, Amaechi declared that the APC will form a parallel government if the 2015 election is rigged. This is disingenuous because everyone knows that the only way the APC will not insist the election is rigged is if it wins. Every election that the APC has won has been free and fair; but every election it has lost has been rigged. In effect, the APC is already threatening treasonable felony if it loses the forthcoming presidential election.

Queried about this stand, Lai Mohammed, the Publicity Secretary of the APC said that has been the stand of the APC since the Osun State gubernatorial election. In which case, had APC lost Osun it would have decided to create mayhem. Lai Mohammed declared: “Let us remind the presidency, in case it has forgotten, that election fraud triggered a civil war in Algeria in the early 1990s, led to the killing of over 1,000 people in post-election riots in Kenya in 2007/2008 and fired a near revolution in Iran in 2009/2010.”

Buhari loves blood!

Buhari is the chief imam of Buharistan. Buhari's blood soaking techniques are being studied worldwide. Experts are trying to figure how to stop him from soaking more dogs & baboons in blood come 2015. No body wants a repeat of 2011. The real English translation of the book here is:

" Buhari's Encyclopedia of Dog and Baboon Soaking Techniques, Sharia Implementation, Islamofascism and Suicide Bombing for Dummies"

Buhari in the shadows waiting to pounce
