Hear Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu:
"When America had problems, they turned to their General, Dwight Eisenhower for political solution and they got it.
When France had problems, they turned to their General, Charles de Ghaule for political solution and they got it.
When Britain had problems, they turned to their General, Winston Churchill for political solution and they got it.
Nigeria is in problem today, may we turn to our own General, Mohammadu Buhari for political solution. We will get it."
Oh, what an inspiring statement!

I have been reading your posts and comments and sometimes I think you are either brain washed or you have a very low IQ. no offense here but It's hard to understand why any right thinking human would be saying the kind of things you say. APC is boko haram, APC is this and that!!! Now let me put this to you and to those Nigerians like you who have never traveled anywhere (even to Benin Republic) to see where the world is at now and the level at which other countries operate. Issues of electricity and pipe borne water is no longer a big issue in other African countries expect if there's civil war. Nigeria is still battling with this. Jobs for university graduates, Roads and Infrastructures.

I know you don't have a job and even if you do, you have brothers and sisters, cousins who are graduate and don't have any source of income. My friend, WE can be better than this! We can do better than this! Don't be scared of the unknown. if you vote APC and nothing changes, then you vote them out! the ruling class in Nigeria should be made to understand that the masses have the power to choose, select, or deselect anyone at any given time. Don't let Nigeria rot for another four years. Look at those folks that graduated since 2008 and still live with their parents, have pity on those girls who are 30 years and above and have no job and husband. Please be human my friend!!
Crap...so is a 75 year old man with old ideology that is the change...guy pack well.
Last year, I went for 2 weeks summer school in Ontario Canada and I met one of the South Western state governor's daughter. Even though she's calm and respectful, any right thinking Nigerian would be disgusted by the fact that she drives a Bentley and a G Class wagon, lives in penthouse of Double Tree by Hilton while his dad in Nigeria was owing state government workers 3 months salary. Eurobomber WAKE UP. don't be part of those who sold their brothers to Slavery. Self worth is more important than money and will always be!!
