What I don't understand is how some people seriously think APC can save Nigeria. Sometimes I just imagine what would be going on in Tinubu's mind anytime he looks at Buhari..

Do you think he (Tinubu) will actually say "Yes... This is the man. please do come and save our country..." I think what he will be saying is "May we just do may d man win this election... How many years will he even stay.. Kpatakpata.. 8yrs and APC will never let go of the presidency.. 8yrs is almost impossible because ah ah... Buhari wey no remember simple Osinbajo at 72, wetin im go remember at the age of eighty, na 1 tenure im go serve and we shall take over... This will be exactly the same thought on them fashola and Amaechi minds..
Buhari can be a good man but he is not a leader. Follow this theory

'Anybody' who is given the overall power in a country can effect any change he wants so far as he/she isn't facing any opposition. By this I mean that any good man can perform marvelously well as a dictator. A 'Leader' does not need dictatorial powers to effect change

Buhari can be an emotional person who doesn't like how lots of funds are mismanaged and how lots of lives are wasted everyday by Boko-haram just like every other good Nigerian but the funny thing about democracy is that Competency is corruption ( I will explain this later)

My history book told me that immediately Idiagbon left the country for Mecca, Babangida saw the opportunity to overthrow Buhari's govt. History records this coup as the only bloodless coup in Nigerian history. This means Buhari didn't even raise a hand of resistance, He just surrendered the govt and left.. (This invariably means that he's a weak man) The underlying story was that Idiagbon was the backbone of the of the stiff nature of the govt.

Buhari succeeded as a dictator but will fail woefully as a Democrat because he really don't seem to understand how things work in a democratic system just like every other emotional Nigerian who wants to see all corrupt politicians in jail and to propel the development of this country at the highest momentum. Buhari can't even stand ordinary social media criticism not to talk more of the criticism ridden system, Democracy.

When I said competence is corruption in democracy, I mean this. Let me give an example.. If Obama wants to deploy the US troops into Syria because he's concerned about the suffering of the people at the hands of ISIS, he needs to convince the Parliament to support the act.. Here, he must have to lobby, buy opposition congressmen and soil his hands.. Initially he wanted to do good, but to do good, he has to indulge in corruption practices and this is Democracy for you!

For Jonathan to build more refineries, he has to favour the oil goons in the country so that they won't go underground to bribe legislators into opposing the bill with big big grammer (please watch a senate or house of reps seating to understand what am saying) ,this is just an example but this is democracy

The pace at which we are going now in terms of development is the pace we will continue in so far as we are practicing democracy
Except America and Britain, no other country that is great today got to those heights with democracy eg China: Communist country, Russia: Socialist country. The Americans and the British succeeded because they accepted corruption and worked with it and when a corrupt man meets another corrupt man, something good will come out of it.

GEJ, Tinubu, Fashola, Amaechi all of them knows this better than a 300L Engineering student, but they are just in the game for their own selfish reasons, the fact remains Buhari has not come to realize this and they (APC) are willing to use this advantage to hatch their plans by selling him(Buhari) to the people
People always yearn for a saviour, Buhari is not that saviour as far as we are practicing democracy, they want to opt him out because they believe he is sale worthy..

The battle is not between GEJ and Buhari, the battle is between the GEJ cabal (PDP) and the Tinubu cabal (APC), those who are on top of the Nigerian financial game and those who think they are being cheated in that game. Tinubu is not worth winning this war because they are all the same

As for me and my household, we are accepting the truth that Nigeria is growing at a normal pace
We are voting for GEJ!!!

And can u honestly say Amen to the prayer that ur life be ruled/governed and continue at the pace at which this country is being governed?

Nestlé with their policy of ND certificates I reason they don't want to pay real graduates.

So many young Nigerians here have been infected with the virus of cluelessness, no thanks to the present government.

I doubt if he ever said that. No politician would ever say that. Garbage news. Thrash I mean

I like this! How I wish both women can be put up for a debate

The only charm dem do for Messi na to sabi play ball!

Man city cum join us @home

Which club u represent?

Why waste my mb to stream or follow live commentary. Come home oh ye gunners.

Its a shame that lives are not valued anymore in this country. The number of lives lost to terrorism is increasing and we don't give a damn anymore. aljazeera reported that about 51 were killed by Boko Haram and here its reported that just 10. We don't value lives and its very disturbing

Omolola1:
Are you saying we should update the 1.5gb?

I did earlier but this was what happened after the download, it installed to 99percent and then went on to 100, 101, 110 and then showed this:

It has stopped now though. I don't know if I should download again

Never mind just allow it to run its course, at times it depends on the network (it might be slow). U have nothing to fear as long as u r updating what is sent to ur phone. No cause for alarm I tell u

8.45 is the kick off jare. We go to Paris. But it's going to be an epic battle.

And sadly many who are posting comments here are just teenagers who do not what is going on in the real world than their phones and laptops. Very funny and ironic

Even our military is a laughing stock to the whole world. You don't have buhari academic records and he went through u to become head of state, u don't have enough equipment to combat Boko Haram. Seriously they are the ones embarrassing the whole nation. The military already is partisan and politicised

But if I may ask PDP apologist, can u pray that God should run ur life the way GEJ Administration is running the country? Can u say amen to such prayer? And the poster above. This country already is in shambles and no thanks to PDP, obasanjo inclusive. PDP is a big jinx, a curse if I may say.

And the number of people on this thread is quite alarming

Does Airtel bb plan work on android and window phones? Pls if u use it on ur fone and it's working well, kindly share ur experience. Thanks fellas

Pls does Airtel BlackBerry plan work on lumia phones. I want to be sure so I don't waste my money.

Misappropriation of funds is the reason why Nigeria army can't combat Boko Haram

I think only the lady enjoyed the chat.

Is buhari live on cnn? It's 8 already

MrMandilas:
You lack home training. Even if u hate the president, show him some respect. Except u call ur father daft. That is if u have one.

Don't mind the young man calling the president a daft. But it's obvious he isn't attending well to these questions. It's just unfortunate. We gave him our votes in 2011, but he has really failed us.

It's glaring Mr president doesn't have answers to so many pertinent questions. Chibok girls, Jega's position, election postponement and some others. It's well ooo

Just got mine. I think the first thing is to search for any update before continuing using the fone. I'm looking for a case or pouch to guard the fone sha.

Too bad, we'll miss his goals

Yeah, esp in a match against city.

And what if he hurts chelsea tomorrow. Anyway this is just ur own opinion because the fans are divided and his loyalty has been questioned. Unlike Steve Gerrard who will never play for rival clubs in England. That's a true legend to me. I admired Lampard a lot, but on Saturday, he will be trying to hurt chelsea and anyone who tries to hurt us is not our friend. In Jose's words "Love affair with Super Frank Lampard is over". Blues!!!

Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been suspended for three games after losing his appeal against his violent conduct charge for stamping on Liverpool's Emre Can.

Diego Costa suspended for three games after Independent Regulatory Commission upholds charge http:///qlnUii21kk pic.twitter.com/4da3jgi2Y3

- The FA (@FA) January 30, 2015
Costa will miss the Premier League games against Manchester City, Aston Villa and Everton after he was found guilty of deliberately stepping on Can during Chelsea's Capital One Cup semifinal second-leg victory over Liverpool on Tuesday.

A statement on the official FA website read: "Diego Costa will serve a three-match suspension with immediate effect after a charge of violent conduct against him was found proven by an Independent Regulatory Commission on Friday 30 January 2015.

"The Chelsea forward had denied the charge in relation to an on-field incident involving Liverpool's Emre Can which occurred in the 12th minute of the League Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday 27 January 2015.

"The incident was not seen by the match officials but caught on video."

A Big blow for chelsea's title bid.

And a general on top of the situation had the time to do all that. And yet "they are on top of the situation", well as some had rightly said, many youngsters typing here do not feel and know the havoc Boko Haram is wreaking in the North.
