The fact that Buhari still retains significant support among Nigerians despite his anti-democratic behavior requires explanation. One major reason is that Nigeria’s top political actors are all so morally compromised that an appeal by any of them to higher principles can always be persuasively dismissed by their opponents as hypocritical nonsense.

For instance, Atiku, Buhari’s main rival who accuses him of weakening democracy, has faced numerous allegations of corruption since serving as Nigeria’s vice president from 1999 to 2007. Additionally, the government that Atiku was a prominent member of itself oversaw massive election rigging and deployed widespread violence to stay in power. Meanwhile, Obasanjo, who is now accusing Buhari of wanting to rig the February election, was president at the time and once exhorted his party members to treat an upcoming election as a “do-or-die affair.”

In the final analysis, however, Buhari’s authoritarian actions cannot be described as anything other than detrimental to Nigeria’s democracy. The judiciary, as flawed as it is, has played a stabilizing role in post-election disputes, which in a country as volatile as Nigeria always have the potential to descend into violent confrontation. In a society as ethnically and religiously divided as Nigeria’s, democracy is as fragile as an egg; if not handled carefully, it could drop and shatter into a thousand pieces impossible to glue back together. That’s why it’s critical for the country’s judiciary to get reformed and strengthened by rooting out corruption within its ranks rather than suffering diminishment by Buhari.

APC and PDP are two clear cases of bad choices (of which Nigerians will hopefully choose a lesser evil) but unfortunately Nigerians have to choose amongst the two cos they have the structures and funds to contest elections thereby leaving other parties with younger candidates at the disadvantage.

At this stage in our nationhood a Moghalu, Duke, Hashim, Sowore or Oby should have been candidates that youths the highest voting population should be supporting but ethnic bias, religion, poverty and political affiliation has eroded many of their sense of judgement. Same problems created by the political elite.

Obanikoro cuts a deal to deliver Fayose on a platter but he can't wiggle out of this case with those tissues of lies/contradictions because he's deeply enmeshed too.

Haba...5 towns?

I hope it's a lie

rusher14:
You aren't very intelligent.

How can you overlook the culprit and blame the authorities?

So says a zombie

And you that is intelligent can you tell us the job of 'the authorities'. Didn't Buhari swore by the constitution to protect Nigerians or that isn't part of his job again?

Oh...I forget he's not aware as usual or has he denied that responsibility like he did his promises to Nigerians?

Next time kindly use your brain (if it's not eternally stuck in Buboo ass) when jumping into discussions in your eagerness to help your fellow zombie.

rusher14:
I have not twisted your statement.

The facts of the matter:

The group suspected to be behind the killings are the Fulani Herdsmen.

The association or union for Fulani Herdsmen is the Miyetti Allah.

The same society blames someone at the top for not condemning their own action.

Does this make sense to you?

Stop mixing up issues and thereby confusing yourself.

Members of the house of representatives who met with Buhari told the world that Buhari lack political will to stop the killings. We all this for a fact.

So I'll advice you respond to these Fulani men that just confirmed that the shoddy way Buhari handled the matter had eroded their dignity as a people.

He's on a lookout for hidden cameras

He doesn't want to be caught unawares again.

Gandollar....The founder of babaringa banking

rusher14:
So the body comprising of the Herdsmen who you claim are doing the killings absolve themselves by saying the lack of political will by the president to call them to order is why they are killing.

And this makes sense to you?

Are you mischievously trying to twist my responses or couldn't comprehend it?

rusher14:
Let us assume all what you are saying is true.

So is it this group of people doing the killing?

I didn't say that.

But Buhari's lack of political will to call his people to order due to ethnic sentiment won't absolve him of complicity nor the Fulani terrorist herdsmen responsible for the murders.

He allowed ethnicity take the best of him to the detriment of our collective wellbeing/unity as a nation.

These ones (Northeast Miyetti Allah) get sense pass Buhari Media Cows/zombies.

They understood what they've got to lose on the long run.

You can't run a nepotic government and expect your people not to be alienated by other tribes who suffered from being made second class citizens in their own country due to supremacist agenda.

Buhari in his mind thought he's 'doing others' without realizing he's only 'doing himself'.

He's a sectional divisive leader who's not worthy of being a councilor but rather an Imam in a mosque.

SMH...Imagine such response.

The presidency is populated by dimwits.

Haba...a sane individual can not propose such madness.

Now it seems there's element of truth in the alleged plan to distrupt the internet.

The desperation of this administration can make them do anything to stay in power at any cost.

However they will fail.

wise0ne:
I feel really really sorry for Mr president. To be honest. I think he needs real medical attention. I don't think he should be engrossed with the rigors of campaign, it is really really telling on him.

While he digresed in an attempt to respond to a question, he said "before we came in to power a litre of fuel is sold for 87 naira and after we took over power it is now being sold for 37, 38 naira"

I looked at my wife in great awe wondering when we ever bought fuel at 38 naira in the last 4 years.


Friends, I think we have to pray seriously for Mr presidents health.

wise0ne:
My God, that man cannot even be my security guard at my little company.

While the youths were asking questions, he took a note as if he was writing their questions, by the time they gave him audience to speak, the man looked at his list and said, "this thing that is written is not very clear"

SMH....I am beginning to feel sorry for Buhari

Some people just want to push him to early grave in order to feather their selfish interests despite glaring evidences that's he's gradually becoming incapacitated. Wicked elements who doesn't care if the country burns.

Those cabals calling the shots now should be thoroughly investigated after another government comes to power cos who knows what they may have made him sign unknowingly. I'm just imagining the level of corruption being perpetrated under this administration.

And who knows maybe she had a 'blast' from her man overnight.

Some of us can relate A situation where you gets serenade by a sweet melody early in the morning by your woman whilst doing her chores and then being served breakfast in bed with a glow all over her face.

A glow of satisfaction of a well enjoyed night from a man worth his salt not a 1 minute man.

Men it's necessary to be on top of the game lest another takes our place.

So I won't blame Lauretta she may have experienced the 10th heaven like my woman confessed with many thanks.

Sex ain't bad na.

Though coming from someone who's been alleged to be involved in trafficking girls abroad?

An aide to the president should have been more circumspect posting such.

The matter should be thoroughly investigated and those security operatives responsible for his death be prosecuted.

I wish his family strength to bear the loss.

megacity:
if you deceive me once you are a fool, but I allow you to deceive me again then ...

There are still many of such foolish fools without shame who are still being deceived into supporting and ready to vote for Buhari again.

They are unpatriotic elements whose myopia won't allow them see beyond their noses.

AnanseK:
Why do you want to know if they have started or even finished the investigation ? Ganduje will soon stop being Governor so instead of insulting them you be patient for another one month or so.

Yusman316:
So u want efcc to be sending u emails on their investigation into the case or what?

Was Fayose not investigated as a sitting governor by EFCC?

Aren't you guys aware his accounts were frozen and some of his alleged properties sealed?

Let's be realistic EFCC under current administration is just an attack dog against opposition and dissents.

Not a bad idea sha.

But passengers shouldn't be asked to sign in with their PVC numbers cos we know how APC rolls. ...Tradersmoni style

If EFCC is serious let the agency commence investigation on Gandollar bribery allegations.

If not all na wash. Yeye appendage of Buhari anticorruption fight.

A compromised agency that's been reduced to APC attack dogs.

aishapmbtoto:
Wait for Yoruba Muslims including Seun, to come and tell you how they love PMB more than the Northerners. Ewedu brain people

Before 2015 elections during the secondary school certificate brouhaha Seun said Buhari doesn't need educational qualifications to lead Nigeria.

I hope he'll be bold to accept his error of judgment about 'Mr integrity'.

Ozibe:
The myth of Buharis hold on the North has been exposed.

The question many failed to ask is what has he done for the downtrodden despite his so called friendship of the talakaws aside his 'fake saintly' image which hasn't improve their lot.

I pray there'll be more awareness so downtrodden northerners will be free from hegemony of their wicked and selfish leaders.

When some of us saw through his fake integrity and kicked against his candidacy prior to 2015 elections we were called names and insulted.

But now breeze don blow fowl yansh....Buhari has been exposed in all the glory of his 'fakeness'.

And some mofos believed corrupt Buhari has integrity?


His so called integrity is as fake as Bobrisky's breast

And same jihadist is always eager to haunt opposition and dissents whom he / his handlers considers guilty without court prosecution.

Any supporter of buhari needs to have his or her brain check cos no sane individual will be willing to reinforce failure and fraud.

Buhari's personality is the biggest fraud in our political history.

Nigerians should expect influx of mercenary voters from Niger republic. (INEC should take note).

Any wonder Ganduje promised 5m vote for Buhari? And Buhari calls him a responsible Governor despite his viral bribery videos.

Definitely Buhari cannot deny knowing the 'technology' that's been proposed for the promised 5m votes.

Imagine this useful idiot trying to be smart by half.

So because they are Christians they shouldn't speak against evil?

The international community and most Nigerians have rejected Buhari hence his desperation to rig the presidential elections at any cost.

Unfortunately his brainless followers still thinks otherwise.

It's a civic duty for patriotic Nigerians to ensure he's voted out to save the country from Buhari and his gangsters who are hell bent on destroying the country with their maladministration.

NJC is on course.

Let's await responses from CJN Onnoghen , Danladi Umar and Tanko Mohammed to the petitions.

However it seems Danladi just ended his career by becoming a willing tool in the hands of a dictator.

Good.

Let's see what the governors have to say on this decision.

I hope gandollar will keep quiet lest workers invite thunder to deal with him.

Viergeachar:
This is terrible!

Only a lunatic can attempt to defend this...

There are such lunatics on Nairaland.

The Buhari Media Cows They never see anything wrong with buhari unpatriotic and divisive decisions.

All they care about is their 30k monthly allawee.

Buhari engineered a constitutional crisis that may consume the judiciary if not handled carefully.

djseanjohn77:
Which democracy are you talking about, i thought you should be supporting secession? didn't know you still have interest in Nigeria democracy

Zombies are genetically stupid sha

So because I refused to support Buhari's rape of our laws/democracy that makes me IPOB member?

For your info I am a full blood Yoruba man.
