I can't remember any dancing when his Government was toppled except from the families of corrupt politicians.One of the reasons I want Buhari back is just for him to deal with corrupt politicians,thats if he can do that as a democratically elected President,but I am very sure corruption will be addressed as a matter of urgency,haba!

Bros wake up. How will he do that? Arrest people, parade them on TV and hand them over to the corrupt judge who will strike out the case like Ibori case. Obasanjo did it but as at today none of the people he persecuted is in jail. This is democracy, he doesn't have that kind of power to jail people at will again.
We can only achieve more success and growth when we build development around institutions not individuals like previous leaders. GEJ is building the destroyed institutions and abandoned development.
No more business as usual.

Out spoke just by share character assasination?He should just grow up please.Iam yet to hear him tell us one single plan his party has for us.I was very young when Buhari took over but I remember there was singing,drumming and dancing when he took over,we enjoyed the WAI comcept,it was widely applauded,I don't know where all these is coming from now,just a shame!

I was young too but old enough to remember all that happened. You will also remember that people celebrated more when he was toppled by Babangida.
I just pray the same thing will not be repeated if he wins this time because of this mob request for change even when it is obvious that Buhari has nothing to offer.
GEJ may not have performed as expected but asking for GMB to replace him is asking for backwardness.

The Christian Association of Nigeria has denied the allegation that its leaders were offered N7bn by the Presidency to campaign for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.

The association also called on security agencies to investigate the Voice of Northern Christian Movement and its Executive Director, Mr. Musa Dikwa, for making the allegation.

The association also linked the allegation to those using different Christian organisations to perpetrate fraud.

In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by the General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, the association said the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), had fallen into wrong hands, “because his endorsement for the March 28 general election by Northern Christian Leaders Eagle-Eye Forum led by one Aminchi Habu was fraudulent.”

The statement read, “We are therefore calling on security agencies to investigate the activities of the Voice of Northern Christian Movement and Musa Dikwa himself to unravel the N7bn mystery which is intended by their sponsors to throw the country into serious crisis.

“For the avoidance of doubt, CAN has no knowledge of any N7bn transaction as alleged by Musa Dikwa who claims to be the Executive Director of a non-existent group, Voice of Northern Christian Movement.

“CAN is not a political party, let alone getting involved in partisan politics. Christians who are members of CAN belong to different political parties. It is therefore surprising to hear that CAN is campaigning for one candidate.

“Revered men of God including the CAN President, Pastors Ayo Oritsejafor; Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel and Pastor Bosun Emmanuel (Secretary-General of National Christian Elders Forum) are too upright to be linked with any such deal.”

Seun and other mods, put this to the FP as fast as you put the allegations. That is fairness. People needs to hear the other side too except you have done that before now.

omenka:
For every 1person that complained to you, 1000people didn't. That is an acceptable margin of accuracy. Deal with it.

And what makes you think anyone would even believe your story

... because you are used to lies and propaganda and find it difficult to identify truth when you see one. Probably you think everyone is like you.
Somebody once said "a fool will say I have made up my mind, don't convince me with the truth"

NgeneUkwenu:
Chronic liar! How come Abia State, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Enugu, Cross River,Anambra all crossed 75% Collection Mark, with more than 6weeks remaining? Why are you guys so Afraid of this election?

If you are used to people telling lies to you or you derive pleasure in lies, count me out. I will give account of every idle word I write or say, therefore I am responsible for every word I say or write.
I thought also you will tell us how
Gombe 95%
Kaduna 91%
Nasarawa 96%
Kastina 92%
Jigawa 93%
Got over 90% distribution and other Northern states with 80% collection.

Rawani:
If anyone is alleging sabotage, Nigerians know in which direction to look. Afterall the only confirmed case is of a PDP Chieftain in Edo state who was caught with 500 PVC's just yesterday. I also hope you realise that any diverted PVC is useless as only the owner can be accredited by the card reader?

As it is useless to the person buying so also it is useless to the owner. One guy came to my office on his way from Council and was with about 8 PVC he picked for others and I asked how? and why? and he said once you identify anybody, the Inec staff will ask you to sign for it without collecting even your particulars. The question is what if the person did not give it to the owners or e.g if I identify Omenka PVC and I know he will vote for Apc, I may withhold it till after election. That is minus one vote for Apc and when he gets to Inec office they will tell him that somebody has collected it for him. Who? They don't know. That is what I termed human interference.

omenka:
All some of you do is come online to rant. I'm very sure you've not even made any attempt to secure yours. Do you expect inec to come chain you like a dog and drag you to their office to collect your card?? The cards have been made available, INEC has played her role. If people decide to disenfranchise themselves willingly, how is that INEC's palava??

I am a full blooded Ijebu man and live in Lagos and have since collected mine. What I posted is the complaints from my Igbo friends and clients who expressed their frustrations to me after several visit to the council office to collect their PVCs.

2undexy:
what do u mean by 'PDP's strong base'?

It is obvious that 7 out of 10 Igbo men will still vote for GEJ despite the propaganda, 1 for GMB while 2 will abstain for business reasons.
How also do you explain a situation where most southerners that registered in the north migrated bc of fear of violence? Yet can't vote where they ran to. The election can't be free and fair

Rawani:
Kindly explain what you mean by that allegation. Governors and community leaders in areas with low collection should encourage their citizens to go and queue for their cards. Northern Governors have been declaring public holidays in their respective states, which has enabled the voters to not bother about missing their work or businesses and focus on collection. Southern authorities can borrow a leaf.

Lagos, Ogun, Osun declared holidays and yet Ogun has 40% collections. Human interference is a challenge. You get to INEC in Oshodi local government for example and you said my name is Okechukwu Chukwudi, the staff pretends to look for it for a while and come back to say "sorry your card is not here, check Ajao Estate or come back later or fill this incident form". While you are still there, another came and said my name is Kasali Ayorinde, Morufu Ganiyu, or Babatunde Tinubu and within seconds they all have their PVC. Somebody somewhere is frustrating the collection. Or what do you say about the Rivers PVC allegedly diverted to Gombe or Taraba?

fitzmayowa:
I don't know who advises this guys, why give tambuwal cheap popularity Why should the court stop him from contesting Is it a crime to switch parties When there are countless politician who did what he did...

I just wonder the kind of crappy advice this guys follow, well if cases like this don't come up how will some lawyers make good money...

With all this crap going on it is safe to say, they are already giving tambuwal an advantage in the forth coming elections...

The plaintiffs ‎argued that despite the fact that they were bonafide card-carrying members of APC, the party breached its guidelines in relation to the nomination of candidates for public office as well as other relevant provisions of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended).

Guess you read the bolded part of the story too. There are many ambitious politicians in APC and soon the graveyard silence in all their selections will soon collapse.
They are all pretending to make it look as if all is well so as not to be mocked by pdp that predicted their fall.

Inec caused the problem, there is no equity in the distribution of PVC. If you were PDP and you observed that your strong base has been technically or scientifically rigged out, you will do the same thing.

Didn't you notice that the lump on his forehead is covered.

More of this great success.

MrFernandez:

Did you read the part where I said we are stuck between choosing the lesser of two evils?

You also said....

"In saner climes GEJ won't stand for re-election. Truth is Buhari may not be a better alternative but Nigerians are simply tired of GEJ/PDP"

At bolded was the reason for my response bc the position you took showed that you have made a choice out of the two devils.

Baba lied, he instructed the man to tear it.

MrFernandez:
Political affiliation aside; GEJ is a big failure...where are the Chibok girls? what is the fate of hundreds of people slaughtered daily by Boko Haram?...what about the botched "scam" called Immigration recruitment? The list is endless and I can go on and on...In saner climes GEJ won't stand for re-election. Truth is Buhari may not be a better alternative but Nigerians are simply tired of GEJ/PDP. We are stuck in between choosing the lesser of two evils! #SayingItTheWayItIs

Do a critical check of all that decamped from PDP, you will agree that they are the corruption and non performance problem of PDP.

I was sympathetic to APC before now until the scale of APC Hypocrisy fell off my eyes. Many will realise their errors when it too late. Wish APC could be better.

internetpo:
pls a link to the distribution chart pls

Could not find the link but this is the picture of it from my hard copy of today's punch.

Jega just admitted that about 800 to 1M PVC are yet to be produced.

The card reader is good and will curb rigging if PVC is distributed to all that registered.
A member of our church just left my office now that they could not find his PVC and observed that this happened to mostly Igbo as about 75% of people given in his presence were Yorubas.
If you looked at the distribution chat as published by Punch today, you will observe that some states in the north has over 90% collection while Ogun State has just 40% distribution.
If inec could step up the distribution, then card reader all the way but if not, the election is rigged already in favour of whoever the North supports.

Somebody once said "a fool will say, I have made up my mind, don't convince me with the truth". It is still surprising to see some people holding on to SLS allegation despite the conclusion and release of the audited report. Some Nigerians are alarmist by nature.

Eggcelent:
I guess most people will abuse OBJ for taking this step. However, we also have to look at GEJ's leadership qualities. Under his watch, PDP lost Tambuwal, the House Of Reps Speaker & also lost 5 sitting governors to the opposition APC. Now, a former President & Chairman of the party's BOT has torn his membership card. It has never been this bad for PDP. GEJ should take part of the blame.

We all clamour for change in PDP, now we have it. Are we sure these people leaving are not the problem of PDP and Nigeria at large. No more business as usual for them...

UrennaNkoli:
Amen.
Later people will open their mouth and say Buhari is sponsoring BH. Will there be transportation of arms and bombs into maiduguri today if Buhari was the sponsor of BH knowing fully well that he'll be visiting Maiduguri today ? Its so glaring that GEJ and his gang of bandits are the ones behind BH. Very soon we'll get info as to where the arms were coming from. I can bet it'll be from the south . My people don't be deceived
Pls Vote Wisely

I know you know the meaning of Alibi. The suicide bombers and other bombing few weeks ago were not intercepted.

Areyousure:
...Gemade left...Obasanjo leaving...The founding fathers leaving...There is something fundamentally wrong!

I agree with you, something is fundamentally wrong. But from the history of all that left PDP, one can conclude that Jonathan is doing somethings right. No more godfathers in PDP selections, contracts are awarded tru competitive bidding....

If the results released so far is what the professor is referring to, I suggest the professor academic qualifications should be investigated. Those results are fake and I repeat, fake. I was thinking it would be denied.
Why is it difficult for Buhari to request for a CTC from Cambridge or Waec? Off course, nemo dat quod non habet

personal59:
Brother u don loose touch
on ur history cos oga jona even promise Obj sey ein no go do re-run for 2015 abi u don forget before Obj support am wella incase u don forget or not aware Obj even talk to tinubu and co regarding Lagos vote I think u need to review ur history

From history, Jona made the promise not to run for second term if the National Assembly approves the proposal of one term of 5years for President and Governors and promised to sacrifice his second term if taken but unfortunately it was rejected, therefore the reason for the promise was not approved. Forget the edited cut-off clips of propaganda being used by APC.

sincerenigerian:
Fayose should have told us this in 2011 when Obasanjo was campaigning for Jonathan. Where was Fayose when Obasanjo spearheaded Jonathan's campaign in 2011? Fayose is a desperate man like Jonathan. Fayose knows he has no chance if Jonathan is kicked out of presidential villa.

Bros, there was a subject I studied from a course I borrowed from faculty of Art in philosophy called "Fallacy". I recommend you read it online. It will help your reasoning as it relates to your reference to 2011 on every issue.

He should watch his back o. Poison...

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Ma bro, one tin u shld no abt dis apc thugs shouting change is dat dey kids and dey don't know history and ve refused to go read their history books. Buhari is a snake, ve said it before, and I will kip saying it, y is it dat he is still using pastors as his running mate? Now, as it stands, no muslim in d west or north will want to vote for jona, while christians will want to vote for apc cos of d pastor guy. D plan failed wen he used bakare. Dragging pastors and using dem so as to split christians votes while his muslim guys will vote solely for him. It baffles me dat south west apc thugs led by tinubu wants to betray selling dem birthrite to d north cos of power, buh I thank God many groups are beginning to deny him. Buhari is a fulani, dey don't forgive dey don't change dey wicked, for those who know fulani too well. If no muslim can comfortably supports jona, y den re christians fooling demselves? We allow maggots into d church all ind d name of politics buh no christian can go to d mosque to campaign. I said it before, buhari can't mock God cos he's no man, he did it before using bakare, buh he failed. Where is d bakare today? And now osinbajo is d one being used, I bet he's going to fail and dat will be a calamity for him and dose foolish christians and westerners supporting buhari. God is no man and can never be mocked. Ma bro, jona won d election d minute it was prosponed, long live jona. Ve ya ever seen any muslim on nairaland supporting jona, nope, cos he's a christian and buhari permutation is to split christians votes using pastor and d west using a yoruba man while he finks he owns d north, buh dat won't work anymore, #shalom

For all that will quote him or have quoted him, the best way to disprove what he said here is to sincerely say that I am a Muslim supporting GEJ or give statistics of your muslim friends supporting him. As for me, I hve not seen any of my muslim friends supporting GEJ and have a lot of my christian friends supporting both of them.
We should stop deceiving ourselves, the election and support are based on religion, ethnicity and sentiments only few on objectivity. If most muslim here are to say the truth, they will agree with the poster.
Even Tinubu will not naturally support GMB If not that they need him religiously to deliver the votes from the North.
As for me, my support is the combination of all (religion, ethnicity, age, performance and exposure) more importantly critical examination of previous governments before Jonathan and Jonathan's transformation achievements. Tell us under God, your real reason for your supports.

Soon you will hear some leaders from the North complaining of human rights for a Boko Haram that does not respect any right. This is what they did when Ihejirika was winning the war.

Esdb3:
I will as from now on starrt vetting comments on Nairaland. Nigerian sites have the worst comments in the world. Go to American forums they comment so creatively, and we must get to that level. Nigeria must change.

Things I'll be checking:

*pedantry is not allowed.

*bad use of english is banned.

#GrammarPolice# helping Nigerians become creative!!!!

Start with your "starrt". Charity begins at home.

geedeex2:
Transparency international ,you can't tell us what we know .GEJ Government is more corrupt than all the other administrations we have had in Nigeria put together

Say the truth, if TI had said Jonathan is more corrupt, is the above all you will post or say? Nobody is saying GEJ Government too is not corrupt but that others before him are more corrupt and unfortunately the same people are the one screaming kworopsion to deceive the gullible.
