Ideas rule the world, and not the PRIMITIVE accumulation of wealth

I'm kind of curious, when will Nigeria have a LEADER that's really prepared to LEAD?

Over the years, an UNPREPARED military General will wake up and overthrow the government of the day and at the end, "the end justified the means".

In 1999, Obasanjo, came out from jail, and the power brokers did their "THING" and installed an UNPREPARED man as the president. He used his first four years to learn how to be a "democratic president" and his second term was used for what I don't know.

In 2007, Obasanjo, dragged an UNPREPARED Umaru Yar'adua and Jonathan, into the presidential race and made him president by conducting the "best election" in the history of Nigeria. Fortunately for Jonathan and unfortunately for Nigerians, an UNPREPARED ended up as the president.

The reality is this, no Senator, Governor, or any politician is really PREPARED for 2015 ( A VISION OF HOW HE WANTS TO LEAD NIGERIA). If any Governor is going to become the PDP presidential flag-bearer, it's going to be a last minute thing ( "DARK HORSE", cos, if any PDP Gov. indicates his interest, he'll sure end up in EFCC's cell, meaning, Jonathan, will give the Gov. the same treatment Obj, gave Atiku.

Apparently, Jonathan, seem to be the "BEST" choice for Nigerians. Cos, the only PREPARED man, Buhari, is not wanted or liked by the Southerners (for reasons that I don't know). If Jonathan, must go, ask yourself WHO IS PREPARED TO LEAD and FIGHT CORRUPTION?? ( don't expect any PDP president to fight corruption) Whoever succeeds Jonathan, (assuming he didn't become the PDP candidate), will be a complete " LEARNER PRESIDENT", the end result might be as DISASTROUS as what Nigerians have now.

A case in point, a man like Fashola, was GROOMED and PREPARED for the office by Tinubu, and this CONTINUITY gave birth to CONSISTENCY in Lagos state policies.

If Jonathan has FAILED or he should not "CONTEST" again and Buhari, is old and he's a "BH SPONSOR", then, who do you think is PREPARED to lead Nigeria??

Why is he going to London, where "Infidels" will touch him? Somalia, Afghanistan, Iran or Saudi will have better treatments for him. Ruthless bloodsuckers, that allowed millions of innocent children to WASTE THEIR LIVES in the name of Islamic studies ( ALMAJIRI) that the northern elites children doesn't participate. The evil that men do...

Soludo,its too little to late. Nigeria was designed to fail and from 1960, till date, it has always been one failed president after another. Honestly, u commited a blunder by coming to serve a failed nation. Your stewardship at the CBN was never appreciated.

Ngozi iweala left a prestigious World Bank job, to do as you've written, wat did she get in return? Ingrates and Myopic rogues tarnishing an image she built in sane climes.

Soludo, alot of professionals will not buy into this ur advice cos, they've learnt from history. Do u want them to go like Dipo Dina or Hary Marshall? Or while they're already in office they'll pull Bola Ige on them? Nigeria doesn't WORTH it, its a GANGSTAS PARADISE(ask the Uba's or ask Obj about his " DO or DIE packages).

Personally, I'll advice all the good men to follow Sir Emeka Anyaoku's style. Serve the "GLOBAL LAND" and retire in your "FATHERLAND". No hassles, you'll be honored and respected from all quarters.

Is anyone on this forum living in Minnesota? I'm the guy next door. It will be nice to meet some naija folks. I'm tired of speaking from my "nose", I want folks to socialize and "blow pidgin english" with.

Gentlemen (no homo ooo) and Ladies are welcomed.

[b]Why do Nigerians complain of CORRUPT RULERS,LACK OF BASIC AMENITIES and a FAILING FAILED COUNTRY, in every sense of the word FAILURE, yet, they always have one MYOPIC and UNSUBSTANTIATED REASON to REJECT Buhari's candidacy??

Firstly, Buhari, was once a military head of state, FYI, all the Generals from the North are sitting on so much WEALTH stolen from the treasury. In the North, all you need to become rich is to know one military General, or know someone that knows a General. What stops Buhari from LOOTING OR ENRICHING HIMSELF

Buhari, later become the boss of Petroleum Trust Fund ( PTF), under Abacha, ( 1998 or there about). A PTF, boss is enough to make Gen Buhari stupendously rich, but, he didn't become RICH, rather, a DISCIPLINED MAN CHOSE THE PATH OF HONOR AND INTEGRITY, knowing that PUBLIC MONEY should not be PILFERED.

What did it take IBB, ABACHA, ABDUSALAMI, OBASANJO, SHONEKAN, &JONATHAN to become BILLIONAIRES ( at the public expense) ?? THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAT!! Buhari, was once a president, why is he not a millionaire??

It took a Custom boss, for Atiku to become a billionaire. It took TY Danjuma, Yar'adua, David Mark military uniforms to become billionaires. An INCORRUPTIBLE General(Buhari) stood out. Thousands of civilian Northerners like Bamanga Tukur, Ciroma, Maideribe, Dantata, Dangote etc, became wealthy because the Northern Generals made them so!! El rufai, was the FCT minister, in less than 6 years and he became a MILLIONAIRE, that's Nigeria for you.

Buhari, is not the founder of Islam. Millions of Muslim extremist loves to shed blood and these blood suckers have been killing Christians living in the North, as far back as 1960's when Buhari, was nobody in the army. Buhari, didn't take any ACTION against Christians when he was the head of state, to the best of my knowledge. Unfortunately, some UNFAIR, NEGATIVE, and UNSUBSTANTIATED RELIGIOUS statements have been TAGGED "Buhari said this and Buhari said that". Again, Buhari's public relations folks, didn't help him during the 2011 election crisis in the North, cos, Buhari, should have been advised to come out and condemn the killings, ASAP. Yes, he has HUGE followers in the North, but, I don't think he instigated the killings. Remember the 1965 election crisis?? Did Awolowo ask his followers to become lawless??

If you're talking Boko Haram, the last time I checked, BH members have been found in houses that belongs to PDP lawmakers. Senator Ndume, PDP, is in court cos of his alliance with BH. Jonathan, confessed that BH apologist are within him,if you know what he meant. It was Ciroma, and other disgruntled PDP folks from the North, that said, "WE WILL MAKE NIGERIA UNGOVERNABLE FOR JONATHAN". He knows what he's talking about.

For now, No PDP member and no OPPOSITION member can challenge the STATUS QUO(PDP)without the EFCC dusting your files and send you to jail. Who doesn't have a file at the EFCC's office?? Buhari!!! Buhari, is not DESPERATE to rule Nigeria, he has a RECORD to run on and a REPUTATION that Nigeria needs at this critical stage, hence, millions of people are WOOING him and financing his campaign to come and rescue Nigeria. Buhari, cried after the 2011 election, not cos of the money he'll make, but, cos THE FUTURE OF THE NIGERIAN YOUTHS and GENERATIONS UNBORN, HAVE GONE TO THE DOGS. Come to think of it,after the elections, WHO HAVE CRIED THE MOST?? THE SAME IGNORANT YOUTH ON THE STREET. Buhari, is not the LOSER, it's Nigerians that will keep LOSING.

It beats me how a SANE mind will call a ROGUE like Obasanjo, a HERO, but, will be quick to demonize Buhari for no reason. FYI, Dora Akunyili, is a product of Buhari's SCHOOL OF INTEGRITY. Obasanjo's SCHOOL OF PILFERAGE produced the likes of Iyabo, Andy Uba, El Rufai, Gbenga Daniel, Fani Kayode, Bode George, Ayo Fayose, Jonathan, Ibori, Akala, etc.

Buhari, is the BEST man for the job!! Buhari, will restore DISCIPLINE and ACCOUNTABILITY!! Nigerians need Buhari, more than he needs that office. The reality is this, Northern PDP Governors, lawmakers, businessmen,etc have the money to fight and work against Buhari, cos they prefer the status quo (LOOTING),fortunately, for them, Nigeria has NEVER CONDUCTED AN ELECTION. ELECTION RESULTS ARE BEEN WRITTEN BY STATISTICIANS IN ABUJA. Every Northern PDP politician is always screaming the " NORTH HAS BEEN MARGINALIZED", but, Buhari, will always say" NIGERIA IS IN A MESS, NEEDS TO BE FIXED. or THESE ROGUES FROM NORTH to SOUTH, needs to be jailed. He knows that the Northern and Southern elites have MARGINALIZED THE COMMON MAN.[/b] You can vote against him for all you want, NL, is here for youths to come and be WHINING and REGRETTING.

Click on on this link. you'll see that Nigerian Army has nothing to offfer the world. They only care about FOOD ,FOOD & FOOD! IT'S A SHAME, OTHERS ARE PUTTING WEAPONS TOGETHER, THE NIGERIAN ARMY IS BUSSY LOADING FOOD.

2Legit2Qui:

Fight for yourself to remove the log in your own eye first. Go and tell Obasanjo to withdraw the licenses so we take you serious that you are fighting for us.

Wow, the effects of DEBASEMENT and SERVITUDE

2Legit2Qui: You wake up everyday looking for ways to malign leaders. You are a Truth Teller indeed. I dont know the essence of this argument. Maybe the "auctioning" hasnt done anything good for the Nigerian people and their means of doing business.

I'm not trying to malign your "rulers".They kept you in darkness, I'm fighting for you to see the light

PROUD-IGBO:
It would have happened anyway.

Sure, it was a BUSINESS DECISION, period.

Is it a case of the city of BLIND people, one eyed man is the king? Or is it's people been perpetually GULLIBLE? I still can't believe that a SANE man, he or she doesn't even need to be educated or exposed to life in civilized countries, but, YOU'RE SANE and you rates Obasanjo's auctioning of GSM license to MTN, ECONET and co, as an ACHIEVEMENT or LEGACY

I'm willing to know from NL, folks, how GSM, license that was given to foreign companies, to trade their goods and services and make money turned out to become a FAVOR to Nigerians?? Was GSM phone and lines given to Nigerians for FREE? Before the arrival of GSM, there was Nitel ( 090 Mobile), all the Government did was to liberalize the telecommunication market. Say, you MUST PRAISE someone for bringing the GSM, have you asked yourself, this THIEF (Obasanjo), that I want to praise, WHAT EFFORT DID HE MAKE TO ENSURE THAT NIGERIANS ARE NOT PAYING THE HIGHEST TARIFF IN AFRICA HOW MUCH OF INFRASTRUCTURE (e.g ELECTRICITY) DID HE PUT ON GROUND, SO THAT MTN and co, WILL NOT BE USING LACK ELECTRICITY AS REASON TO OVER-CHARGE NIGERIANS? HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY IS IT ONLY NIGERIANS THAT CARRY 3 or 4 PHONES ABOUT??

I don't get it, do South Africans talk about Nelson Mandela's GREATNESS because of one business decision he made while in office?? USA, leads the world in technology, and you can't hear the citizens HONORING any of their presidents simply cos INTERNET, MOBILE TELEPHONE, LAPTOP, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, etc was INVENTED or CAME INTO EXISTENCE during the presidents tenure. It's all about SOCIAL SERVICES.

Why can't it be that Obasanjo, built the best roads in Yourbaland?? Obasanjo, made STABLE electricity possible?? Obasanjo, built the BEST PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN WEST AFRICA The BEST PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN Nigeria will be found in Ogun state, built by Obasanjo?? Rather, he STOLE public funds and built some of the most expensive( Bells Schools and University) schools in Nigeria. WHY WHY? Is this your HERO?? Is this the man that meant well for Nigeria?? Do you find GSM license as an achievement for a man that spent 8 years in office??

GenBuhari: IBB Obj and Atiku are crooks

Abacha was honest , competent and patriotic

You always WRECK threads with this ur long story below. People ain't gonna read that, SUM IT UP.

dessy002:


Are you a Nigerian?If yes,that means you are gullible,foolish and docile,since you said it on your comment.By the way who is your own father? What you fail to understand is having education does not necessarily make you a good leader.Goodluck Egbere Jonathan has a doctorate degree,is he better than Obj the mechanic?Jimmy Carter was well educated but he was not adjudged to be a good American leader.Jacob Zuma of South Africa is not educated,and he is doing just fine.So please use your head well sometimes before you comment on articles.

Firstly, I don't need to be a Nigerian 2 talk and I'm not one. The names you mentioned here proved that you're simply a FAILURE. Education matters and don't used that your Goodluck or Nigeria, as a yardstick. As per Goodluck, its not anyone that went to school is educated. Jonathan is an educated idiot and a FAILURE like him, Obasanjo, installed him as president. Jimmy Carter was a FAILURE, going by american standard. After his failure in office, have u ever seen anyone identifying with him politically? Or him going about blabbing, the way this PETTY THIEF, Obasanjo, is blabbing?? No. Cos in USA, only the likes of Clinton, can talk, hence, his LEAD ROLE in Obama's campaign. If you're not a FAILURE yourself, you'll not say that Jacob Zuma is doing "FINE". You're a LOSER, hence, all the names you DROPPED.

[quote author=dessy002][/quote]

I want to answer a FAILURE like you. cos, all the names U mentioned are failure, I can understand ur view of the world. I'm not a Nigerian FYI.

How do you know a MEDIOCRE THIEF?? When he's afraid of ACHIEVERS AND HONEST PEOPLE.

WAS YAR'ADUA THE BEST MAN FROM THE NORTH ( say, he must handover to a Northerner ) No, cos, he wants someone that will protect his stolen wealth.

Was Jonathan, the BEST man from the South-South to be a Vice-President,?? No, cos he wants a DUMMY that will remain LOYAL and the DUMMY's ACTIONS will make a FAILURE like him look like a HERO, that he's NOT. He wanted all these FAILURES around, so that his tenure could be seen as SUCCESS, or the GULLIBLE and SHORT-SIGHTED NIGERIANS WILL MAKE GOOD REFERENCE TO HIM.

If Obasanjo, wasn't a FAILURE, WHY DID HE WANT TO STAY BEYOND HIS TENURE?? A WEAK ROGUE. Shame on him, HE COULDN'T MANAGE HIS FAMILY, WAS COMMITTING INCEST in his own KITCHEN, his FIRST SON, TOLD THE PUBLIC WHO HE IS, AND HIS CAPABILITIES and Nigerians believed his son

WHY DIDN'T MANDELA, (THE EPITOME OF GREATNESS) SEEK THIRD TERM IN SOUTH AFRICA?? He can, but he couldn't cos, Mandela, knew what LEADERSHIP, PUBLIC SERVICE, INTEGRITY and HONOR is.

Fadenitan: Maybe you are from another world,even the network you are using is part of OBASANJO successful project.Please you can visit Obasanjo library and see by urself the Obasanjo achievment btw 1999-2007.

City of blind people. Graham Bell invented telephone not Obasanjo, OK? South Africa and alot of countries have been using GSM before Nigeria, and they don't even count it as a PRESIDENTIAL ACHIEVEMENT in their respective countries. WHAT THE Bleep IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?
Obasanjo, gave a GSM license, SIMPLE as that. He didn't buy GSM phones for people. PEOPLE USE THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY TO BUY THEIR PHONES. GET THIS INTO YOUR HEARD, NOBODY DID ANYBODY ANY FAVOR WHEN IT COMES TO GSM. FYI, Obasanjo, helped the GSM companies in ripping Nigerians off, how? cos, ANY VISIONARY LEADER WITH THE INTEREST OF THE COMMON MAN, WILL MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S AN INFRASTRUCTURE ON GROUND, SO THAT GSM, COMPANIES WILL NOT BE USING LACK OF ELECTRICITY & co, AS A REASON TO BE RIPPING NIGERIANS OFF. IF YOU DON'T KNOW, NIGERIANS ARE BEEN CHARGED THE HIGHEST TARIFF IN AFRICA, SIMPLY COS, THIS THIEF, OBASANJO, DIDN'T PROVIDE WHAT GOVERNMENT WAS SUPPOSE TO PROVIDE AND MTN, PROVIDES THEIR OWN POWER,WHO BEARS THE BURNT? THE COMMON MAN.

ASK NIGERIANS WHO PROVIDED THEM WITH GSM, THEY WILL TELL YOU MTN, ECONET, GLO,etc, If you mention this THIEF, THEY WILL STONE U TO DEATH.

AUCTIONING A GSM LICENSE CAN ONLY BE SEEN AS A LEGACY IN A FAILED NATION CALLED NIGERIA. WHY CAN'T IT BE " OBASANJO MADE STABLE ELECTRICITY POSSIBLE"??

4realfc: This man is not a saint but he actually meant well for this country.

Really? tomorrow, you'll come here and write that Jonathan meant well too. What planet do u guys come from?? Meant well?? and STOLE THE COUNTRIES MONEY?? Let me not cuss u out.

What can any SANE, CIVILIZED AND EDUCATED PERSON GIVE THIS THIEF, OBASANJO, CREDIT FOR?? NIGERIANS, WHAT A PEOPLE, SMH.

In which sane society does a PETTY THIEF like Obasanjo, is been interviewed and they expect me to read it?ABOMINATION. Whatever he might have said in the interview, all I know is this, Nigerians don't know their HISTORY! Nigerians, are GULLIBLE and DOCILE. Nigerians don't LEARN. (Take this from me, D'banj WILL ORGANIZE ANOTHER KOKO thing NEXT YEAR AND THE SAME GULLIBLE PEOPLE WILL FOOLISHLY TROOP THERE AND WILL BE ALL OVER THE SOCIAL MEDIA REGRETTING IT), that's Nigerians for you.

Obasanjo, is DUMMY and FOREVER will be a DUMMY. Chukwuma Nzeogwu,( NIGERIA'S FIRST INTELLIGENCE OFFICER), was Obasanjo's best friend in the army. He refused to get Obasanjo, involve in the 1966 coup, simply cos Obasanjo, was too DULL and UNEDUCATED for his liking, (EVERYTHING IS ON RECORD, HE WAS A BLOODY MECHANIC FROM A VERY POOR BACKGROUND). On the other hand, people like Ojukwu, came from OXFORD and a WEALTHY family. WHO IS OBASANJO'S FATHER? NOBODY.

This is not about TRIBE, Biafra, and all that shit. Nigerians, wake up, wake up and start asking QUESTIONS,e.g, Obasnajo, where did you get all the money in your possession?? Nigeria, became a failed nation because of people like Obasanjo, Danjuma, Shehu Yar'adua, Ibb, Atiku, etc, READ INTO THEIR HISTORIES AND NOT A NEWSPAPER INTERVIEW, HE WILL TELL YOU GULLIBLE PEOPLE WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR.

Nigerians lack electricity, the roads are death trap, and all other basic things of life is nowhere to be found ( GANG-STAR PARADISE), simply cos of men like Obasanjo, HE DESTROYED YOUR COUNTRY AND MADE IT THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WORLD, DON'T YOU GUYS GET IT? IF OBASANJO & HIS COHORTS CAN'T BE JAILED, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEY WILL NOT ESCAPE A REVOLUTION ( lets assume that it will happen, it won't Naija, and docility).

Obasanjo, ( a DUMB MECHANIC) can only become a president in Nigeria. Only a country like Nigeria will he steal their resources and remain free, and have the effrontery to grant a newspaper interview. SHAME ON YOU NIGERIANS!!!
