So you are happy with only Dangota producing tin tomatoes Nigeria now. You don't want other companies to start production even in the south south. Reason why gej counted making Dangota one of the richest man in the world as one of his achievements.

As a political neutral person I have to say that charisma isn't the only thing GEJ lacks. He lacks understanding, leadership skills, intelligence and in context, a conscience. The Chibok girls where missing for quite some time before our presido decided to address the nation, before he decided to visit, before he decided to pay of the families. Like money can bring those girls back. At this stage, those girls can never come back, if they are physically rescued it will take God to emotionally and psychological come back. They will be lost, traumatised and be exhibiting Stockholm syndrome by now. He (GEJ) isn't the person we can entrust our future to. All GEJ supporters will now bring out some paper achievement, achievements that have failed to prevent Nigeria's economy from deteriorating. Most GMB supporters only support him because they want something different. The power of incumbency seems to be working against him.

It is one thing to know how to lament about problems and another thing to know how to solve them. Lamenting involves emotion while problem solving involves critical thinking.

You don't solve problems by lamenting. He does not have the capacity to think critically.

I'm very sure that you didn't watch the programme. He didn't lament about any problem but he gave a very plausible plan to solve the various problems. You are quite bright but you are simply misinformed and ignorant. As for me, politics is a means to an end. If an old man can serve better than a young,conceited one. Fine, if GEJ is the best choice and GMB is a an old fool, fine. No need for personal feelings or attacks.

Revolution:
GMB MEANS BUSINESS.

I was opportune to listen to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari this morning at State House, Marina, Lagos state. It was a business section tagged ‘GMB MEANS BUSINESS.’

Apologies. I didn’t attend as a paparazzi, hence the lack of photographs and a selfie with the man himself. Also, this is not the place to drop names.

The small venue was filled to capacity as expected, and I was certain the audience was expectant.

Posted below are my personal views of General Muhammadu Buhari, the man whom I heard, for the very first time at close quarters.

The man Buhari whom I heard spoke today is a man that has a mission.

I could almost feel a pain in his voice when he spoke of the issues that have plighted the talented country, Nigeria for decades. You could almost say, he felt sorry for the country.

There was a conviction in his voice and demeanour. His body language was expressive of a man focused on one thing, to put Nigeria on the global ladder of respect. You could feel it.

When he read out the prepared speech, which was monotone a-times, he informed his audience when he had completed the speech. He gently went into the pocket of his flowing ‘babariga’ to produce his prepared hand written note and went on to give a scintillating delivery of his plans for the country – which I would’t bother you with.

At that point, he was better poised and at his best.

He was natural, at ease. No airs about him. I didn’t know he was also rich in humour. He is a very witty man. I see him represent Nigeria internationally with pride.

You know what, he commanded the audience. He had us all engaged.

He gave briefs on how Nigeria fought the civil war and didn’t have to borrow a kobo.

He mentioned how, when he was in charge, refineries were built.

He gave a veiled warning to ‘briefcase contractors’ who mill around Abuja. ” If you know your capacity is N100m, don’t go bidding for a N1 billion contract” he jokingly announced. Joke, I think not.

He also had a warning for civil servants. ‘Anyone engaged in corruption is on his own and will only have himself to blame’ he said, without joking this time.

If truth be written, I was extremely impressed listening to him live.

He engaged an audience of business men and women, and that alone speaks volume.

About seven questions were asked (limited due to lack of time as he was expected today in Adamawa for a campaign rally), and he confidently stood to answer all to the best of his abilities.

He charmed us with his humble charisma.

He got an ovation at the end of his speech.

Finally, in answering a question on continuity of governance, should he become the next elected President, he went on to give an analogy of someone standing on cliff edge. He pointed out that, if the man on the cliff edge chose to continue, what awaits him would be a long painful fall. Hence, he would not continue on that path. He however pointed out that continuity on good projects is good, while he would not be a part of a continuation of bad projects.

BUHARI LIVE – How Impressed was I ?

Very!

you are absolutely spot on in your analysis. It's quite surprising that people have called this man an illiterate, that's absolutely stupid and an ignorant point of view. He is quite funny. I found myself laughing many times during the interactive sessions. It is quite saddening that Nigerians do not see that not only is G.M.B. smart he understands the problems of Nigeria and he doesn't pretend to know it all, he has assembled a quite intelligent team and I can only hope that by February 16th 2015, he'll be the president-elect.

chukwudi44:
Is that how Buhari intends to rule? Muzzling of the press smh

it's not "muzzling" if the said broadcasters have gone against the law and are truly at fault. This is slander which is punishable by law.
