Thank God you now like him. Atleast you won't campaign for his removal again right?

Now tell GEJ to stop avoiding the polls and test his popularity.

#Blessings bro; shalom!

Yes o. Thank God they're beginning to like him since they heard kano voters might be affected.

Whether only 60% of voters in kano are able to vote is immaterial to me at this stage.

Let's have the elections, use the PVC and allow whoever wins to rule.

This is a novelty that will get better by next election. We might even start using ATM like machines for voting thereby eliminating any need for ad hoc staff.

GEJ wants to fight corruption with technology, he should start with PVC

never again will a presidential candidate wear one cloth for 9days...
Never Again

Do you think we should retain the one that has worn the same fedora hat for 5years plus?





You see, obtuse thinking doesn't pay

PassingShot:
Then you're a learner if you think Zimbabwe is Nigeria. Go study history and you know the differences.

Besides, Mugabe has not gone against his country's constitution. He succeeded in changing the constitution long time ago you know!

That's not even the issue my friend.

The real problem with sanctions is the effect on ordinary Nigerians which are made up of both APC and PDP supporters. With no sanctions yet, the economy is in a free fall already with job losses, factory closures etc. I honestly don't want to imagine what would happen if economic sanctions are imposed by the international community....Nigeria's case will be worse than Zimbabwe's.

Its surprising we are not worried about this

Hahaha

Nigerians are a rare breed indeed. I was on my desk here angry some things went wrong in my office today, only for me to open this thread and momentarily forget my challenges.

Naija must always see the funny side.

OK o, make e no dey like say I didn't participate

#babawhileyouweregone, pej told us to use stones on opponents to demonstrate how 'peaceable' PDP really is

clevvermind:
all join boo. Check all your post very well and you'll find many grammatical errors. Besides, i type the way i like.

but you're very quick to label someone else "an illiterate"?

Still very ironic

clevvermind:
did he came with his certificate?

Ohh...the irony

So,Jona has been wearing the same hat for the past six years? Get a life boy

You have to wonder how infantile they wish to make Nigerian politics look.

Its beyond sad good sir

Suggest topics jor. Don't dull the thread like the deuche above you.

Buhari beats his wife for wearing lipstick

Buhari ships daughter's bf in crate to sambissa

Let me think of some more inanities..... I'll be back

Major Bamidele said buhari detained him in 1983 for reporting a coup attempt.

OP claims Major Bamidele made this statement just before buhari killed him.

All sensible adults who can read know buhari left power in 1985 and was in detention till 1988 while major Bamidele was executed along with Vatsa in 1986.

Does the OP have any proof that major Bamidele resurected in 1984 (after being 'killed' by buhari) before IBB killed him for the second time in 1986?

Has major Bamidele resurrected again and when does the OP think major Bamidele will be killed next?

Mama ageing gracefully

agabaI23:
On being behind shedule i have these to say

You were here in this country when Ihejirika had Boko haram on the balls. Buhari and the northern elders accused him of genocide, that he was carrying out Igbo agenda to retaliate the Biafran war damages on the North.
Specifically, when Baga was first attacked in 2013, the military dislodged them. Buhari's response was that the military used too much force. He went further to say that attack on Boko Haram was attack on the North.

Remember that Nigeria is a multiethnic emulsion that will crack if the emulsifiers is subjected to adverse conditions.

Ihejirika was blackmailed out. One could say that GEJ should have paid deaf ear to that. It does not work that way because you need the cooperation of the locals and the leaders to win the war because the enemy was within and in the society amongst their people. There was sympathy for BH.
What followed with the withdrawal of Ihejirika was increase in sabotage that was in line with the feeling of the northerners that GEJ was killing the Northerners. That also gave BH time rearm, recruit and bring about this onslaught.

Many of the officers who died, died in ambush. Some were killed by fellow soldiers. How do BH get to know the itinery of the Nigerian army?

One particular casewhere an officer wanted to stay back at the outpost and travel back the following day with his troop but he was asked by his superior to return was striking. This gallant was killed with some of his soldiers in an ambush.

A narrative from a deserter has it that they were informed that BH was aware of their coming, what do you make of that.

Now, GEJ went for arms to deal with new wave, US refused buoyed by the propaganda coming from APC and encouraged by the two-day visit of the northern governors. They blocked all avenues they have control over and made mockery of GEJ when he went through black market and the APC exploited it.
They would not let Isreal, neither did allow a fly over permission from Saudi. They stopped buying oil from us and increased quota from SAUDI AND KUWAIT.

A request for $1B loan approval was held by the house for over 6 months.

How do you blame him?
Thank God for Russia and China.
You should know that procurement of military hardware is not the same as other merchandise. Some are manufactured after an order is made and the lead time for procurement could be as long as 1 year or more.

These are the same pedestrian excuses we've been treated to for 5 years that have made these guys stronger and resulted in the deaths of 15,000 Nigerians. When will you accuse gej of being an accomplice for calling BH his siblings? Do you know how many deserters have claimed the PDP led govt is working with BH leadership? Conspiracy theories are too inane for govt to use as policy platforms my friend. A serious president acts and leaves beer parlour gists where they belong.

agabaI23, pls refrain from the bolded. Its a statement that should only emanate from an uninformed mind. You admitted the Army has moles, how then do you expect the US to sell their weapons to a military crawling with rats and snitches? Why do you think US marines blew up the chopper that crashed in their expedition against osama in pakistan? See the link below to get a feel of how America fights its hardware secrets from being compromised.

The Freedom of information act is available for you to invoke to see the full report in the case PWC. They have given you the summary. So the ball is in your court. Buhari called us bluff and has refused to release his certificate.....

The reps have already asked for it, has it been availed them yet? You see this as a question of 'winning'. For me it goes beyond that. The convo I mentioned earlier held for about 3 hours and brought some truths to the fore and that is: the country is in very serious trouble.

If Buhari's certificate will help prevent forex nearing N250/$, i would have jumped on that train but its grossly irrelevant to the reality of job loses, bank loses, salary delays that we've started witnessing because of economic mismanagement and massive fraud.

Some things should be exempt from politics.

cust0mized13:
We are in deep sh1t

Most folks don't really see or understand this and its very sad and even frightening. The economy is on a downward slope and nobody seems bothered.

I truly fear for Nigeria

agabaI23:
I don't know you to deny the obvious and you are not gona start now.

If you haven't seen anything since, you would have seen that most of your talking points have been eroded

GEJ is weak, he cannot fight BH
$20 B bla bla. APC has withdrawn that from channels or at least i have not seen the advert in a long long while

Wish he had realised he was the president of the whole country earlier. He's 5 years behind schedule. No country ever truly eliminates terrorists from its shores if they've been allowed time and space to proliferate. At best, they become virtual and amorphous striking at will in any way e.g Jos motor park bombing.

I had lunch with a friend and his chinese business partner at apapa last Sunday and the Chinese man said poverty, hunger and frustration feed BH. He said the hungry labourers on pitiable wages slaving at apapa are potential BH recruits who only need an offer of good money and they'll succumb.

On the PWC and $20B saga, let me tell you a small story. The same PWC audited the financials of my former bank for 2008 in early 2009 and gave a report of good standing on which mgt even proposed profit sharing for staff. We all eagerly awaited it until Sanusi came with his hammer in August 2009 to show the world what we all knew which is: our bank was in deep sh!t. Bottomline; an accounting firm falls in line with the whims and dictates of whoever pays its fees.

Have you heard of the Enron scandal and the role one of the biggest accounting firms in the world, Arthur Andersen, played in it?

If govt wants to be transparent and in line with their much touted FOI bill, let them put the full report in public domain

agabaI23:
Stop speaking in tongues jare? What did you not see?

Tongues ke?? Pls bring me up to speed. I really am at a loss here bro

agabaI23:
Oh that? I got the same Buhari treatment for daring to say some guy was biased as what political topic is favoured with frontpage slot.

I am pretty good my friend. Waiting for one thing....you

you see the turn of things

@bold

agabaI23:
My friend, you have been scarce
Are you by chance.......

Yeah. I was banned by whoever or whatever for some inexplicable reason on a thread where I sought to put some things in proper context and perspective.

I guess some on here are trying to practice dictatorship like GMB the military head of state

It was good though. I was shielded from some inanities that regularly assault our sensibilities on here

Trust you're good

If I was GMB, I for just stagger small while speaking just so all PDP propaganda won't be in vain totally they won't sleep well in aso rock tonight surely

They're no more screaming he's on hospital bed but its now one illiterate embarrassing himself with 'criminal court' instead of 'civil court' that buhari mentioned. Then another clown asking what he's doing at Chatham house forcing me to wonder what gej was doing getting interviewed by the WSJ and lying to the whole world. Even Dasuki needed Chatham house to sow the seeds of election postponement.

You really have to pity these destroyers of the nation's posterity.

Should he have been nominated in the first place?

kasiem:
It's no longer debatable whether buhari is sick or not cos his wife and Joe igbokwe have both confirmed it. So, now if the pressure the apc people are forcing him to undergo inorder to cover their selfish interest causes this man to die, who would be blamed for this? Would the hausas be compensated by dropping osibanjo? In fact, what will happen?

What did u think when you read the above reports? Did the wishes of their detractors make them kick the bucket? Do you think its a given that you as a person will see may 29 in good health or even alive?

Why do you guys like playing god? If he dies, will he be the first? Why not go speak at arewa house to tell them since you believe they're deaf and dumb instead of opening inconsequential threads on NL?

Shagari celebrated 90 years this month, kefee the celebrity died at less than 35, Goldie, another very healthy celebrity died at around same age. Why not leave realms that belong to God, solely, for him to decide?

If you experience renal failure tomorrow, do you think the hausas will go to war?

agabaI23:
barcanista is tsunami waiting to happen.

You see how easy it is to support GEJ. APC has so many genuine materials to write with. It is difficult to defend Buhari and those around him. I said it is like looking for a premiership green field in Sahara desert.

Another person I am waiting for is theV0ice

theV0ice is to good to be in APC wallahi.

you flatter me greatly friend.

I don't envy the position barcanista is in presently because it'll be undue distraction for me. Its possible to lose faith in a cause you believe so much in and that has consumed so much of your time and energy as you journey through life. For me, when such happens like with my former church, its only sensible to take some time off to reappraise things so you can find out why you stupidly and blindly followed the wrong path for so long and avoid a repeat.

To speak so highly of one party today and do a complete volte face in a week is very suspicious my friend but I will never berate him for exercising his constitutionally guaranteed freedom of association. However, what happens when he finds out things he hates more in his new found group? What has happened to all the bad things he has regaled NL with about this very same group he's ported to now?

I've never been interested in those online camps and friendships with faceless people. Can't tell who is fake or real. Its just like claiming you're a sociable person because you have 1000 friends on Facebook. Average intelligence will tell u that is delusion of grandeur. I come here, post or make my comments on any thread that i fancy and i zoom off. Its purely at my leisure and pleasure. Even when it comes to dishing out better yabis, I make sure I enjoy it very well no be me only me dey Nigeria. If e go blow, you sef go feel am

The choice for me is very simple: we've been led by the devil called gej for 5 years and the coven of witches called PDP for 16 years, i firmly believe its time to try another devil from another coven of witches.

The day i stop believing this, i'll go and sulk in my closet at the misfortune of being fooled a second time. 2011 was the first.

agabaI23:
I have waited for this day and I am happy it came to be. You are one a few I could debate with reasonably who will not see a white piece of ankara call it red strap from the evil dibia's loin.

The other person is theV0ice and I have told him I am expecting to receive into the visible change fold

1. I have to apologise for not being there with you when it mattered most. I was on the road the most of yesterday and saturday was my pool day. I would have liked to be among those who was there for you but then, thank God for the colleagues

2. You are welcome to visible change group

3. This is a real TSUNAMI in nairaland's APC camp and a bigger tsunami is awaiting you guys as you all will begin to see the truth in the gang up against the performer though not perfect and yet so far the best we have.

4. Barcanista, you are a brave man. It takes a man to do a man's job.
5. Welcome

My friend, na only one vote I get o, just like you and every other person. I think every commenter on this thread needs to get a shot of reality serum in their veins: don't over estimate your importance except of course you're being paid or you're a party card carrying member.

I don't know why its so easy for folks to get carried away. Good luck to the celebrity owner of this thread and dissenting folks should pls cut him some slack cos its his right abeg

To u agabaI23, wish u the best my friend.

Hey, don't even start, n don't let me start we with u, am not some girl u think u can insult, n it's to early if u don't mind. Wen I quoted u, I made sure I didn't insult u so b polite n mannered enough to do same.
I can give insults as well, but please don't try it with me. Thanks, u should b d one to get off d moral ground.

can you point out one insult contained in my post?

Justcash:
The agitation has always been there. The question is, how effective has it been. The masses did not make GEJ the acting president. OBJ AND HIS CRONIES GUIDED HIM TO TAKE IT. The Cabal was beaten because GEJ WAS THE VICE PRESIDENT, and OBJ, a political god-father, was behind him. If there was an interim government led by another politician, GEJ would have been systematically sidelined. Una for protest tire.

I was there live.

OBJ didn't come back into the picture until yarádua died and gej became substantive president. from then on, OBJ guided him to defeat Atiku at the PDP primaries and the rest was easy because most nigerians were behind him and the opposition was in disarray.

the people forced the senate to act otherwise turai and the cabal would have continued ruling.

da hell does this tout think he is! If u are deceived by some expired product who ruled some 29yrs back,thats ur biz..its better for u to realise that rather than trying to get some noble prize for psychos of some sort on here..

if you had some sense, you'll realise the train left your dumb station eons ago. bring yourself up to speed or shut up.

a tout is a brainless irritant that throws himself into the middle of a discussion without knowing what is being discusssed and you sir are the perfect example of a tout.

of course she's expressing herself. is that too difficult to decipher?

both sides insult and swear at each other on NL so it'll be nice if you'll get off the moral high ground

Justcash:
You mean you actually thought it was your voting power that brought Jonathan to power. Lmao! Mhen, you are hilarious. Jonathan was the acting president, he was in control. Turai was the First Lady, she was doing gra gra. If Turai was made the acting president, Jonathan for no smell aso talkless of rock, no matter how much you wanted to vote for him.

what or who made him acting president? incase you don't know, like baby124 said, It was the people on the street led by those you like to despise e.g Soyinka, Bakare, Odumakin, Falana etc that forced the senate to invoke the doctrine of necessity to make him president. When he got into the seat, instead of looking to the people, he concentrated the country's resources into making billionaires out of a new cabal and militants to the detriment of even law abiding and qualified Niger Deltans. Go to the streets of PH and Warri and see militant warlords wasting money while law abiding citizens wallow in abject poverty. I guess it's the majority groups that also asked him to neglect them?

baby124:
If you can consciously type such an atrocity. Then your post loses all credibility. Let me ask you a question. How did Jonathan become acting president? Was it not the people that fought to put the so called minority there against all cabals and all odds How did he become president as a minority? The people defended their votes and voted for him. What did he do with his opportunity? He went there and told us he did not give a damn. Let me remind you that a whole sitting president of some of the most educated black people in the world can come on TV and say boldly that stealing is not corruption.
I ask you, what is the gain of such a presidency. What exactly can we point to that he has done and is actually working. How come your post is not filled with issues based argument on what Jonathan's plans are for president.
Look, a president every day on his job should be working for the people's votes. Not for a cabal who have deceived him that they are important and can save him. They are just there for what they can eat. And will move on to hopefully not deceive the next president. They are professional sychophants, any foolish president that falls for their lies will fall to ruin.
Will sentiments put food on my table? Send my children to school ? Provide electricity? Provide healthcare? Secure my pension so that I will not be a beggar or die from hunger in old age? NO. Our votes for better will make that possible. Open a thread based on issues because sentiments are dead. They obviously don't work and are dragging us into dirty pits
