olapluto: Well, what is certain is that the tank used in previous videos is no longer there. This is also another reason why NA should not jubilate yet.
I watched a video just now where natives of towns in BH control are claiming that youths in those towns are being forced to join BH, given some concortion to drink which makes them high and get given guns.
As much as I am happy we're gaining momentum in this war, I fear that recent successes may just be mostly forced youths who are being killed. I fear that BH still has majority of its commanders intact.

Their commanders die every time. They have suffered heavy defeats in recent weeks, but they enjoy enough support from some of the local communities out of ideology, fear, money etc.

Trash. Ain't y'all tired of this balderdash up there?! It's becoming stale!

I don't know why you picked out only no 4. Have you read Soyinka's statement on Buhari too? Scroll up and read.
I know you're probably young so you can learn from old folks like Soyinka and some of us who witnessed the atrocities by Buhari.
History does not lie.

See Soyinka''s presentation on that:

The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty – found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.

The person who actually posted that is your brother, Gideon Chibike. And you know that hardly would you see your brother who supports APC. They support either PDP or APGA. So, stop spewing trash!

What tribe is "Chibike"? You may need to tell us the meaning.
I'm aware one of the tricks of Angry People's Confraternity is to use Igbo-like names to create accounts.
That's not to say there aren't some who support Boko Haram for the pay like we see here in nairaland.

General Mohammadu Buhari

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive.



History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future.

Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances.

Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining.

In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.

Buhari – need one remind anyone – was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.

Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree.

Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe – was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc.

Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.

So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it.

Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma!

Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule.

Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism.

Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition.

President Shehu Shasgari of the then notorious NPN

The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons.

Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.



And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks.

Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border.

Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins – escaped through the same airtight dragnet.

The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.

The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious.

Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed.

Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request.

Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas.

Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.

Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial.

Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No!

He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.

The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice.

Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry.

For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied.

The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.

One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown.

To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being.

The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty – found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.

Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir – to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered – of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage.

That officer, the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

22 REASONS WHY BUHARI CAN NEVER RULE NIGERIA


In my books, Buhari is a pretentious anti-corruption fighter. The trajectory of a man's journey in public life matters. For the follwoing reasons I can not vote for Buhari

1. He is an oligarch who does not believe in equality before the law. The way he jailed Lateef Jakande, Jim Nwobodo, Ambrose Ali, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ayo Ojewumi on cases that had no foundation and allowed Awwal Ibrahim, the then Niger State governor, who was arrested in Heathrow Airport in London with 14 million pounds sterling and several millions of Niara and dollars to be under house arrest is my evidence. He also allowed Shehu Kangiwa, Sokoto State Governor who conducted and supervised the famous Bakolori Massacre of poor peasant farmers whose land were appropriated without compesation to remain under house arrest.

1(a) Ayo Ojewumi became blind as a result of his imprisonment over false charges and died shortly after.

1 (b) Prof. Ambrose Alli also became blind as a result of this false imprisonment. When he died, he had only one undeveloped plot of land to his name.

1© Pa Adekule Ajasin was never the same after his eventual release and remained sickly for the rest of his life. Whe he died, he never had any property anywhere in the world except the one he had built from his sweat as long term teacher and school principal in Owo township.

2. He put in place a retroactive law that killed three men, innocent men in my book, by public execution. He left untouched an alleged well known drug baron in Ibrahim Babangida who later overthrew his government.

3. He jailed Ndukar Irabor and Tunde Thompson of the Guardian on stories that were factually true under Decree 4. He had told the Nigerian journalists then that it did not matter whether the story reported was true or not, if his regime did not like it, the writer would go to jail.

4. He supervised the smuggling of 53 suitcases filled with cash througth the MMA against the protests of General Tunde Idiagbon and ironically, Abubakar Atiku, the then Director General of the Customs who later became the Vice President and a compromised politician himself. This smuggling of the suit cases were supervised by his ADC, Col. Mustapha Jokolo.

5. He jailed Fela Anikulapo -Kuti on trumped up charges under emergency law which prompted the sentencing judge to confess that he was ordered to do so and apologised to the late musician. It was Buhari's administration that said it has "decided to deal with this Fela problem once and for all."

6. He convinced all the northern political leaders against allowing the National Identity Card program because according to him, this would unravel the myth of Northern population majority

7. He is an Islamic fundamentalist, the Bin Laden of Nigeria, who told his northern followers never to vote for anyone who was not a muslim.

8. He is a coup plotter.

9. He has never been able to account to Nigerians what he did with the 20 billion Naira of the Petroleum Trust Fund of which he was the chairman under Sani Abacha.
9(a) He has not been able to point to any project that he prosecuted outside the Northern Nigeria with the so-caled trust fund.

10. He was in full support of all the atrocities of Sani Abacha against the Nigerian people. There is no single record of his criticism of Sani Abacha during those dark days when Nigeria was on precipice. It shows that he is a patriot of convenience and as such unfit to lead the country.

11. Buhari, as part of his tribalistic practices placed President Shagari under house arrest inside a palatia mansion in Ikoyi while he locked up Shagari's Vice, Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri Prison. Shagari is Hausa/Fulani like him while Alex Ekwueme is an Igboman.

12. Ikemba Emeka Ojukwu, another Igboman who returned from 13years exile just a little over a year then was as well locked up in Kiri Kiri Prison by meanhearted Buhari.Up till today we are not told what was Emeka's offence.

13. Busari Adelakun died of ulcer because Buhari refused him to be taken out of prison for immediate medical attention.The then Governor of Ogun State,Bisi Onabanjo suffered similar fate which we were told led to his untimely death.

14. Buhari ransacked the house of our late sage, Obafemi Awolowo and confisticated his International passport. Which civilized democratic society would elect the likes of Buhari as President,the same individual who overthrew an elected President? Never!

15. Plus Buhari having Sam Mbakwe in jail, went for one of Mbakwe's wives. He established himself again for what he was/is letting Mbakwe receive in jailhouse news of the death of another of Mbakwe's two wives. One (I can't remember his name now; Odenigbo?) also died in jail.

16. Buhari's henchman and sponsor, CPC governorship candidate for Kano State, is Mohammed Abacha, the same person that had/ran a personal killing squad, co ordinated the killing of Kudirat Abiola & attempted to kill Ibru; and also stashed money in underground tanks, all less than 13 years ago, Nigerians have very short selective memory. Shame!

17. Buhari discriminated against persons from other ethnic groups/faiths; and that as PTF Chairman, he employed an overwhelming number of Fulani/Hausa/Moslem people at the detriment of other groups and concentrated PTF projects in the North. If in doubt read El Rufai's testimony where he wrote about Katsina boys who used the money they made at PTF to bankroll Yar'Adua's election in 1999.

18. Buhari is unforgiven. When he "took over" by coup in 1983, even remembered an article written a very very long time ago by Bisi Onabanjo ('The Mallams are coming') and a later one in which Onabanjo wrote that people should watch out for that "gangly officer from the north" after Buhari gave a no holds barred speech at some Army function where he was reported to be very openly pro Fulani and pro Islam to the exclusive of all else and also talked about termination of democratic rule. For that, Onabanjo got one of the harshest jail terms and treatments.

19. Buhari intolerance is worse than Obasanjo's. When he was adopted as the ANPP's candidate on the night of the party's Primaries without prior warning to the other candidates and a few of them protested, Buhari got up and made a speech that those people must be disciplined. I subsequently saw him on BBC's "hard talk" and he frightened me and the interviewer with his archaic and fundamentalist intolerant views. His understanding and articulation is very much in doubt.

20. The evil genius, IBB and his crew similarly ran rings around Buhari. On the 10th anniversary of Abacha's demise, Buhari said that Abacha stole nothing from Nigeria! Despite millions of Dollars recovered from banks around the world and the Abacha family signing a formal agreement to return over $1 billion dollars, Buhari still said that Abacha's stealing remains an unproved allegation!!!! Why? Because Abacha set Buhari up like an emperor and let him use oil money from the Niger Delta to develop the North without supervision or questions.

21. Buhari snubbed the same Nigerians he now wants their votes by refusing to appear before Justice Oputa Truth and Reconciliation Panel. Despite the fact that Buhari knew how inportant reconciliation is to the stability of democracy. Buhari has never apologised at anytime.

22. Buhari executed Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26). To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. and At the time Ogedengbe committed the crime it did not carry that punishment. If we must live as civilised citizens we must go by the rules. Article 11.2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: "No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission WHICH DID NOT CONSTITUTE A PENAL OFFENCE, under national or international law at the time when it was committed. NOR SHALL A HEAVIER PUNISHMENT BE IMPOSED THAN THE ONE THAT WAS APPLICABLE AT THE TIME THE PENAL OFFENCE WAS COMMITTED. Killing people with retroactive laws is not the civilised thing to do - and for as long as we will have people who refuse to see the truth only because their heroes are inching to rule when they have not purged themselves we will continue to wallow in misery.

If Nigerians reward dangerous, insensitive, dishonest, mean, cruel, partial, egoistic, religious, fundamendalist, conscienceless human being like MOHAMMADU BUHARI with the presidency of Nigeria with his kind of track record, then why do we still wonder why Nigeria has not and will not make it?

I can not in good conscience support Buhari's candidacy on the above grounds. I wish we have intelligent people who know what democracy means. I wish we have civilized minds. However, I am 100 percent sure that Buhari will never again rule Nigeria.

For the good of Nigeria, vote any other candidate, but SAY NO TO BUHARI!!!

My take is that General Olukolade was talking about weapons that were stolen in those attacks where Boko Haram seem to have won and the Army retreated. I don't think he's referring to Boko Haram militants looting the armoury as presented by the Punch writer.

It is sad however that certain people, because of their political affiliation have taken sides with Boko Haram against anyone and any body who oppose their thirst for power and that includes Nigerian Armed Forces.
They whip up hate for DSS, Military and all who are actually fighting to prevent ISIS-like experience in Nigeria and West Africa at large.

Politics / Ayo Oritsejafor & Canan 2nd Press Conference On Boko Haram In Dc, 2013 by TechWalker007: 2:00pm On Sep 20, 2014
CANAN 2ND PRESS CONFERENCE ON BOKO HARAM

Christian Association of Nigerian Americans (CANAN) convened the second press conference on Boko Haram in Washington DC on Thursday, July 25th 2013.

If you can, watch this video and understand why certain people are working hard to rope in Ayo Oritsejafor and CAN into BH.
This was a meeting held in US where CAN and Ayo explained a lot to press what's going on and why US must designate Boko Haram as Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).
This is before Boko Haram was finally designated as FTO by US.

It is important we note that the people who are working hard to blackmail him today are the same people who fought hard to stop the designation of Boko Haram as FTO by US.

I'm wondering who sounds like sponsors. those pushing for global effort to stop Boko Haram (Ayo and CAN) or those who kicked against the designation of Boko Haram trying hard to explain that Boko Haram has legitimate concerns.

It's a dire situation. You also cannot attack Boko Haram without heavy collateral damage as they freely mix up with locals. The situation resembles what you have in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.

Politics / Living Under The Spectre Of Boko Haram – A Maiduguri Resident Tells Us How It Is by TechWalker007: 5:07pm On Sep 08, 2014
It’s not really easy for a Maiduguri resident to fully discuss the Boko Haram crisis in a single article. But I’ll try to discuss the most recent incidents based on my own experience as a resident.

Since the expulsion of Boko Haram from Maiduguri through communal efforts spearheaded by the youth, Boko Haram have moved their terror campaigns to some villages in the state. They’ve been taking down village after village and have even moved into larger towns like Damboa and Gwoza. It looks like our military have not been equipped enough and there’s some internal sabotage going on. I think this has been helping the terrorists.

It would be quite unfair to blame the soldiers at the frontline when they retreat or something, because they’re simply acting on orders from their superiors. Sometimes, when they stop defending certain places, it’s usually because they’re left without backup or reinforcement.

This is what happened to the soldiers who escaped to Cameroun recently. The soldiers actually fought gallantly but were left on their own without reinforcement until they ran out of ammunition and had to retreat.

Attack on Bama

The recent victories Boko Haram gained, especially at Gwoza, seems to have given them a certain boost in confidence, with their leader Abubakar Shekau declaring a caliphate in Gwoza. But I want you to know that people in Maiduguri doubt the existence of Shekau. They believe the character is being played by someone in order to give the group a face. This is because nobody has so far claimed to have seen Shekau in person since the JTF announced that they have killed him.

That boost in confidence may have been what prompted Boko Haram to attack Bama town on September 1. But it wasn’t business as usual this time. The terrorists probably expected our troops to flee and allow them take the town easily just like things went in other towns, but the troops in Bama and the youth vigilantes put up a fierce resistance.

There was initially some confusion when jets bombed the barracks, killing many soldiers and vigilantes. And as the fighting was going on, people were asked to evacuate the town, supposedly to allow for aerial bombardment by the Nigerian Airforce.

That evacuation is what caused the large influx of Bama residents into Maiduguri, which caused some panic and fuelled reports that Boko Haram had taken Bama. But the fact is that *Boko Haram* suffered a massive defeat at the end of the battle and had to fall back.

I’ve been seeing some news stories saying that Boko Haram is in control of Bama. This is totally false. In fact, the government has arranged for the Bama people to return home.

Spreading fear and misinformation

For us staying in Maiduguri, we’ve been both surprised and angered by the Boko Haram victory reports in the media as well as similar statements from a Borno senator, Ahmed Zanna. These stories surprise us because the senator and the journalists saying these things are obviously not even in Borno.

The youth vigilantes have held a press conference where they dismissed those false reports and even gave details of the number of Boko Haram fighters killed, captured and injured during the battle in Bama. Yet the reports persist.

Anger in town

Contrary to reports that people in Maiduguri are living in fear of imminent attack by Boko Haram, the dominant feeling here is that of anger — anger towards Boko Haram for their atrocities and towards the military high command for not adequately equipping our troops.

We are also angry about the defensive tactics of the military. We think, instead of waiting to be attacked and then defending, why don’t our soldiers take the war to the terrorists and take them out?

To demonstrate their anger, more than 12,000 vigilantes, retired soldiers and hunters gathered at the Ramat Square in Maiduguri last Thursday. From there, they marched to the Shehu’s palace. Their message was simple: Allow us take the war to Boko Haram wherever they are and resist any attack on Maidguri.

Current situation

The current situation in Maiduguri is that people are going on with life normally but are always on alert, ready to pounce on any Boko Haram member that may make the mistake of coming into town. All neighbourhoods are being guarded by vigilantes, especially during curfew hours.

With the mood right now, the greatest mistake Boko Haram can make is try to invade Maiduguri. I think if they do that, it will lead to their final annihilation no matter what weapons they carry.

The few residents that are afraid have already left town. Right now, every resident in Maiduguri, irrespective of age and gender, is a potential combatant.

The greatest weapon in the hands of terrorists is the fear they create. But for Boko Haram, the truth is that fear has long died in Maiduguri.

– John Campbell, Former US Ambassador to Nigeria (Council on Foreign Relations, Copyright © 2011)

20. "Mr Mark had on Monday at the beginning of 2012 Senators Retreat in Uyo, the Akwa-Ibom state capital called on leaders of the northern states to think properly before they allow what he called “a few selected cabals in Boko Haram” bring the north to its knees with what they are doing."

"If the elders in the North cannot speak out and stop this menace let them tell us. Let them come out and say so boldly, because the belief out there is that some elders know about these people and
decide to keep quitee If care is not taken, the way things are going, if the Boko Haram menace is not halted, it can lead to break up of Nigeria"

- David Mark (Senate President, Channelstv.com June 28, 2012)

21. What's Sambo Dasuki's opinion on Boko Haram? Why the silence? Why can't we call for his sack too, the same way the north lamented about Azazi? SACK DASUKI NOW!

May the souls of the innocent kids massacred by Boko PIGS rest in peace. They were very unfortunate to be born into a land filled with wicked and heartless elders who would rather waste the blood of their kids for political powers!!!

cramjones:

Unfortunately there are few higher minds on Nairaland who have chosen to ignore vital political messages and focus on CramJones being FFK or not being FFK!

Which higher "political messages?"

The bigotry and hate you have been promoting in Nairaland?
From both sides of the mouth?

You come across as courteous in Nairaland thus far, apart from that, you have been on a crusade filled with bigotry, hate, hypocrisy, double standards, skullduggery and every form of shenanigan against GEJ.
Your often non-aggressive way of presenting it may have fooled some and certainly it's been relief for GEJ haters who are always on ground (in NL and other fora) looking for the slightest opportunity to attack with fusillade.

ThankGod Edeh: CRAMJONES is trying to cover up the mess. He messed up the moment he opened the thread 'A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF MY MONEY LAUNDERY ALLEGATION'. There, he implicated himself. Now, he wants to clean the mess cos he just realized it could be used against him in the court of law. Take it or leave it, CRAMJONES is FFK.

I usually visit threads he created selectively. Skipped that particular thread but had to visit the thread after reading your post.
He killed himself in that thread, very naive! He is exactly who I thought he is, not so smart.

babe_online: With what that happened in the 2011 elections(Buhari winning the North) and with the high incompetence mixed with corruption GEJ has shown, all that is needed for APC to win the 2015 elections is to encourage the SW to vote for APC.

Buhari and Fashola can win the presidential vote for APC provided the SW is ready to be wise and vote for APC.

The only way APC can win the presidential election is by fielding Buhari and Fashola as president and vice respectively. Of course they are Muslims but with them, it will be a landslide victory for APC. After all when Buhari contested under CPC he won almost half of Nigeria(the North).

Anti Muslim people with have to learn to deal with two Muslims as their president and vice. Buhari and Fashola hold the future of Nigeria!!!!


Please be specific, they may hold your future not mine. God forbid my future be in the hands of Buhari!

For those who do not know CramJones' purpose of this thread, let me help.

He opened the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1586357/top-3-apc-presidential-candidates
He proposed 3 candidates for APC presidential ticket, Buhari and 2 PDP Northern politicians.

But then SilentC made the post in quote, questioning his speaking from both sides of the mouth when on his own website he discredited Buhari as a candidate. This is in direct contrast to his mini intro on Buhari in the thread.

silentc:

Cramjones (FFK), please refer to the link below (which is your personal website). Please look at your own comments you made on Buhari.

http://www.femifanikayode.org./faq.html?_sm_au_=i5VZ62QF6w1SFMP5

If you cannot click the link, please see excerpt I am referring to below:

Question: What do think of General Muhammadu Buhari another former Head of State?
Answer:
[b]It is not for me to judge General Buhari or anyone else as ultimately posterity and God will judge us all. Needless to say I disagree with General Buhari on most things but he is, nevertheless, a formidable adversary and a man of truth. He tells the truth as he sees it and no-one can take that from him. He is an honest man and fears no one.
My only concern about him is his constant recourse to religious sentiments in the political arena which is extremely dangerous in a country like Nigeria where about half the population is Muslim and the other half is Christian. As a matter of fact the largest concentration of both Muslims and Christians on the African continent (approx.50 to 60 million on each side) are in Nigeria so we have to be very careful not to set the country on fire by bringing matters of faith into politics. Apart from that there is also the perception held by many that he believes that southerners are somehow inferior to northerners. That sort of thinking is absolutely unacceptable and it surely has no place in Nigerian politics. Other than that I have nothing but respect and admiration for Buhari and let no-one fool you, he is very popular and very strong on the ground in the core northern parts of Nigeria.[/b][i][/i]

I am not confident I can trust your opinions when you clearly have reservations on Buhari which you air in your own website, but seem to endorse right now. How will this man based on your own comments unite Nigeria?

Once again, I am not sure your motivation in airing your views to us here is honest. No disrespect to you, but i thought I should call you out on this.


The quick escape route he chose, is to dissociate himself from FFK which everyone in Nairaland had accepted him to be. That was what he wanted us to believe in his early threads.

This will be a hard one to get out of CramJones, I bet you.

For me, I have always taken you as one of the numerous APC supporters in NL, only more refined and with more information than the other APC supporters. But ultimately y'all having same goal and same strategy, propaganda!

Imagine him listing 2 Funky Mallams (Kwankwanso and Tambuwal) and one Islamic Fundamentalist (Buhari) also a Mallam as APC's best choices undecided this is nothing but MADNESS ON CRAMJONES! What would any of these three will do better than Jonathan if elected if I may ask.....their region reeks of extreme poverty one can ever imagine and yet crackjones think they can fix Nigeria! Shame on you undecided

...and when I asked who they intend to defeat, PDP or GEJ, guess his answer? Both! (Exactly what I hoped he would say).

Yet 2 of the 3 and himself are all PDP!

so they should bring fasola so jonathan can have an easy ride,huh? grin


so Adamskuky what is the essence of getting into power with incompetent felow?
If fashola is the best in your lot but wont be presented because of where he comes from, then we are back to square one: just capture power using religious and ethnic coloration and then a dumbhead as head of government.!! ridiculous and another we all know that no matter how brilliant the vice president is , he is just useless because the authority lies with the president.

Hausa/Fulani being what they are , they will cast Tinubu and his cronies aside after using them to get there. bet me!
what Tinubu should have done is to be patient and continue to manage the southwest as he has been doing : then one day , Nigerians will beg him or fasola to rule..but they cant wait for God time and so we continue the mediocrity..
I pity my country

Welcome to Nigeria, it's been that way since 60's. The Hausa/Fulani have always found folks like FFK who are used as pawns for their selfish agenda.

Now I know more than ever what a Northern friend from a minority tribe mean when he said it's the fault of the South (SW/SE/SS) that the Hausa/Fulani have dictated for the rest of Nigeria all this years.

As much as I don't like Tinubu, the highlighted is the ONLY reason I got fed up with APC. You almost used my own words back in 2010 before the first attempt for a merger.

sunayo: @Cramjones. Your reasoning is faulty. You believe a northerner must be the flagbearer to garner vote from the region. But the west will vote massively for him. Meaning the north only vote for their own competent or not.

It's obvious the only mandate of APC is to return power to the North. What a shame!
With this, APC will not sell to the youth. We know better now.

The bolded is why the SNC is the only way forward!
The North claims their fight against GEJ is about performance! Deception!!!
In the last couple of decades, no Northerner has done for the North what GEJ is doing right now!

They preferred a sick man in the office over GEJ, they don't give a hoot about performance, power ONLY has to be in the North.

jmaine:

1) The current crisis in the PDP is not about perceived performance but the demand to return power to the North at all cost.

2) Another SS won't change the persistent dynamics of feud in the polity due to reasons 1.

3) Amaechi is not in the PDP any longer and even if he was, a GEJ will never be dropped for an Amaechi courtesy his recent abrasive anti party nuisance.

4) Whoever the APC produces should be prepared to meet GEJ at the polls to slug it out. It's a mountainous task for the opposition.

5) You are correct, winning elections goes beyond the cyber sphere. You need to drum that into your APC goons who feel unleashing constant lies and propaganda online will garner them the much needed power they desperately seek.

No 1, is the reason for all the heat in the polity, PDP, and the re-allignment of Northern political elites with their willing slaves down SW.

One should expect the self acclaimed "sophisticated political" group to support with every ounce the declaration of this Igbo group.

I have been an ardent supporter of NC in Nairaland and other social media platform and berated Tinubu and his cohorts for trying to whitewash GEJ's call for NC.

I am also not in support of the PAC idea of "constitutional amendment" and/or "approval" from NASS.
I believe a totally new constitution, a referendum is the way to go.
GEJ no matter how much good intentions does not have the "power" to declare a SNC, it is the duty of the Nigerian populace.
The Ndigbo group have taken the right step and should be supported by ethnic nationalities from every region.
Only those who support the status quo and/or planning to benefit from it would have problem with this.

It seems you know nothing yet. Rochas was deceived. He is in a fix right now.
His personal ambition drove him out of APGA, he had no problem whatsoever with his party or GEJ.

Mentioning Adams of Edo makes you a toddler in Edo politics.
Come 2015, Edo people will vote overwhelmingly for GEJ if he contests. Oshiomole as usual will give him the support.

And for the records, Oshiomole came as ACN because ACN had a better platform and funding than LP back in 2007 against PDP.

I didn't feel like joining the discussion until I saw your post that beams ignorance.
The only thing GEJ did is being from the South South. These guys are only decamping because APC is set up to front a Northerner.
In 2010, when Northern elders met it wasn't a party affair. Buhari from CPC, Atiku from Pdp, Shekerau from ANPP, DPP leaders, ACN Northern leaders, we're all in the meeting.
That was when Sani Kaita said "The NORTH have decided to make Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ if he does not back down in 2011". He had the support of Buhari, Atiku, and others.
If you think it's about GEJ's handling then you are very ignorant.
How will a Ribadu and Tinubu team up. How about El Rufai and Buhari? And to say the least, A Buhari in the team of Tinubu, FFK, and other spent politicians from pdp.
Please don't mention Amaechi, we all know his selfish ambition to become VP started his rebellion.

Why would they go on strike? Because a lazy graduate with a delusional sense of over entitlement came on nairaland with half truths.

Typical naija attitude. Grab all you can with the least amount of work, in the process ruining another man's hardwork.

Imagine collecting pay while not doing the work which you were employed to do.

No wonder most companies hire foreigners to take care of their business. They know a typical nigerian will ruin it for them.

R.etarded op with his r.etarded nairaland supporters. Continue with your rantings, ravings and foaming at the mouth like wild animals, while Dangote goes on from strength to strength.

I'm not supporting Dangote o. No word to describe that thief that feels he is a business man but that is a topic for another day.

Dangote is like a role model to me, I have nothing against him. I am not really about the company but policies that can stop things like this.
If they want to relieve people off their jobs, there is a better way.
Where I work, I've seen same thing done. Layoffs for no justifiable reason.
Sometimes, they sack people and employ freshers and pay them less. I'm not saying that's what they did here, I'm saying NLC, TUC, Media, Activists need to speak for the voiceless not just when they are affected.
