I have just one reason why he should and will stay. Just one.

1. He is giving PDP Politicians enough headache. That is the most important reason. With him, pdp Politicians, whether govs, Senate members or house of assembly members are not able to share loots as they would.

I agree with the edited. Don't let us be blinded by thinking that PDP are the looters while APC are saints. That being said, I think its laudable that he has awoken the conciousness of the Nigerian voter to the looting going on. That is why he has to leave now that he still has some dignity left and thats for two reasons.
1. Going forward, everyone will be uptight about looting whether Buhari is in government or not
2. He has given Nigerians reason to question his sincererity by accommodating thesame looters in his party and turning a blind eye to fresh looters in his party

100 reasons why the OP must recieve sense.

Argue with the facts. Instead of attacking my person. Tell me Buhari did not do these things, then I'll take you seriously.

ClearFlair:
All the things you listed were PDP’s doing. Try harder.

This right here is the problem with Nigerians. We are talking about Buhari as a person, don't confuse it with APC or PDP

Dear nairalanders,
As we approach the forth coming presidential election on saturday feb 16, 2019, let us remind ourselves of logical and convincing reasons why Buhari must go. Don't get distracted by their usual 16 years of bla bla bla...bulshit, or fake corruption fight. For now we will try Atiku, if it dosen't work, we try someone else. Nigeria does not belong to anybody.

100 Reasons Why Buhari Must Go

Now lets see the Bible's perspective on this:
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. KJV
Personally I don't find this pure and lovely

Guys,
I came across an article listing SA investments in Nigeria, I believe it was due to the ongoing xenophobic attacks in that country. It actually open my eyes to know that they own more companies than the usual mtn and dstv that I know. Included Protea hotels, Stanbic bank, Shoprite, Oracle and many more. Makes me wonder how many Nigeria investments exists in SA. Bearing in mind that reprisal attack on their companies here in naija could also spell trouble for our own down there. I can only think of a few like Dangote (not sure), Christ Embassy, erm...maybe Nigerian banks. I know our artiste go there to shoot videos and multichoice patronize nollywood in their Africa Magic channel but can these last two count as investments? Please, what are Nigerian investments in SA and vice Versa?

My brother the op, you talk like this because you are so small. The bible says a canal mind cannot understand the things of the spirit. Try worshiping Him in spirit and in truth, then you'll understand why forever isn't long enough. There's soooooooooo much to unravel about God that it makes us cry when we worship. If in this present world (which u didn't bargain for by the way), u are already wowed, claiming to have goals to pursue and a reason to live, then how much more my dear when He promises to wow us? What u see here, the goals, aspirations, setting of targets, dreams, fulfillment, kids, career, creativity, technology, games, love...u name it, everything that makes life thrilling, comes from God. And if He says you ain't seen anything yet, oh my God!!! I so believe Him and am excited, life is so good. Come to think of it, the only thing that pops our balloon in this present world is death and all that leads to it. How come ur not screaming for joy at His promise of eternal life? If I were u, I'll be like, what does it take? Because believe me, whatever it takes is worth It. That's the greatest goal u can think of. Stop bordering ur head about the contents of the next life and just live. God bless u.

@saska1122, Exactly what it was in my time at UNICAL. I graduated in the year 2000 with 3.62 CGPA on the 5.0 scale. It's second class upper. I still remember then that 3.5 was the limit for me (as in my personal target) since i didn"t want to drop to 2.2

I think you are just cheating on your fiancee. Maybe u don't deserve her after all. Otherwise how can u still be looking out when u've fixed a wedding date? Marriage is about DECIDING to STAY with one person in spite of the several 'WONDERFUL' ones out there. That's why its not meant for boys. Grow up my friend.

Relationships are meant to be built. And building takes effort. If you are put off by some attitude in one, u'll definitely be pissed off in the next.  No one's perfect. Just go for someone u really love; someone who's eccentricity u can pardon.

Dear House,
I said i was going to keep us posted on maria, so here i am after about a month. I called her and we talked 4 a while. Maria turned out to be a busy person who had little or no time. On the day we met it was at the lounge of her office and we talked 4 like 10 minutes only before she had to go. Our conversation centered on her playing the councellor role and trying to find out why i had this problem. Alas there wasn't time and efforts to rearrange another meeting has failed. However for the little time we talked, i felt like somebody cared. Maria if u r reading this then know that i appreciate ur time. Interestingly though during the period Kate called from Benin after reading my tread. She had to navigate tru my profile to my website in oder to get my number. We've become very good friends now n am looking 4ward to meeting her. Dear Kate i hope u don't mind. There thats it so far house. Wish me luck.

Right here o!!!!Maria ur cute. I'll surely give u a call. House watch out for this. Seems like a nice one 

Harley, he doesn't deserve u. And its high time u let him go. I know its not easy but the longer you cling to the memory; the more u give him control over ur life. Remember he's happily married. For what u know hes busy making love to his wife while you're here lamenting. Meet new people, update ur profile with a contact address, wipe ur tears and cheer up for the next guy coming ur way soon. personally i wanted to contact u but couldn't cause there was no way. If u read my own story here (i'll be 36 2moro and still waiting) u'll see that am searching for someone like u. Contact me so we talk. Cheer up girl.

patwhizkid, Story has been shortened. Thanks

Hmm!!! What's this supposed to mean; deliverance 4 me? I don't think so. Anyway let me use this chance to thank all those who have been contributing to this thread, however, there's this general air of pity i noticed. Its about the age thing right? Pls pls!
I don't need pity, all i need is sugesstions on what to do next. I want to state here that i don't look 36. Infact if i say am 29, anyone would believe. There's a new picture of me in my profile for doubters. I would love to be contacted by a lady who's reading this. Who knows? we might be glad we met.

Gestapo, if you follow the link in my signature you'll see not just my photo but more details about me on my blog. Alternatively when you veiw my profile here, click on my website. You'll see a photo of me smiling back at you. Thanks

Hello nairalanders, they say a problem shared is half solved. Some people think i am a playboy whereas others just assume it is the harsh economy. But the truth is that i am honestly desiring a beautiful r/tionship with a lady that'll lead to marriage and haven't found one. 2moro being 18th may 2009 will be my 36th birthday and am still single without even a girl to call my own.
Don't get me wrong though, cause i know some nairalanders might misunderstand me. I'm not gay nor shy nor ugly nor poor nor sick. Im just a normal guy who had been building up a career over the years. You can corroborate that by visiting the url in my profile. In 2005 i had a beautiful relationship that lasted for 2 years.(i still think of her) But after catching her cheating on me a third time, i felt i've had enough of it. Walking away from that affair was the hardest decision i had taken in my life. I realized that if u love somebone, it dosen't really matter who left who, it still hurts.
Anyway my problem now is that since then i've not had any other. They either do not flow, or seem to be the wrong ones altogether. I've even tried contacting a few on nairalist who fit my desire, but you know what? Some of them are guys disguising as ladies. One lady i made contact with on nairalist talked once or twice one phone but seem unserious about what she advertised in the first place. I guess she did'nt really mean it. Dear Nairalanders I need your honest advice on what to do as i mark my 36 years on earth in lonliness. Thanks in anticipation.
