The messenger you may not like but pay serious attention to the message.

Bhuari is a born to rule Fulani man. He is an expired drug not fit purpose. He has gone past it's sell by date.

What did he do since leaving office in 1983 to date for his village Daura or Kastina state. Charity they say begins at home or is it until he becomes President that he can do something for us to evaluate his abilities?

A responsible opposition leader or elder stateman will be seriously seeing to be working with the government or at least offer solutions to Boko haram menace and not wait until he becomes President which he may not be.

plasmadocument:
Buhari is not a good man, has never been and will never be.

Jonathan is NOT a very good President but Buhari is not and can NEVER be an alternative to Jonathan.

Head to head, Jonathan is one million times better than Buhari.

For those clamoring for something new, Buhari is no where near new, we have seen him many many times.

If the stakes are between the two of them, then GEJ till we can get another leader.

GBAM. Thank you.

bushdoc9919:
Read the article elsewhere. It was a good article...and indeed the problem with the Opposition is that they are largely defined by the fact that they are not the PDP. We don't have a clear idea of what they intend to do.
But let us be frank....the reason why APC and PDP can get away with vague ''I will build road'' manifestos is because Nigerians are not a thinking people. We don't ask questions. We just want our share of the cake, thank you very much.

So, until Nigerians start asking questions, we will forever have vague ''I will give you road'' type manifestos.

Thank you. UNTIL NIGERIANS START ASKING GOOD AND RELEVANT QUESTIONS.

The political elites knew that our people are lazy. What was promised 4 years ago and what has been delivered?

There are so many things wrong with Bhuari that I only see a power hungry man who feel he was shortchanged when his military government was overthrown in 1983. It is like George W. Bush trying to get to power to avenge his father's second term re-election defeat. It nearly destroyed America, they are still trying to get out of it.

Bhuari is the past. No matter how you put a lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.

We have young tested vibrant leaders but because of the born to rule mentality, we are being giving a 72years old grandfather and they call it change, when they can't even change their manifesto to the present.

A missed opportunity by the opposition.

Foresight is the first requirement of great leaders. Vision and adequate research are the new components.
With all due respect to Gen. Bhuari, he lacks any of the above.

The economic benefits of the metro rail far outway the short economic challenges of the time.

it is now 31 years later, which means the debt would have been fully paid.

Gen.Bhuari is a voodoo economist. He never run a business in his entire life only relying on salary and his cows.

There is a different between good and bad debts. Bhuari doesn't know this. Debt on capital investment especially things like railway is huge in economic value and growth potential.

Most people have never met Bhuari or never likely to. The messenger may not be to our liking BUT the MESSAGE cannot be ignored.

We can only see from the past what kind of vision does Bhuari has. At least one the economy, it is voodoo economics at best.

Akinjide is absolutely right about the Lagos metro and to corroborate her, the political elites in the North encourage the destruction of Nigeria Railways because of the North interest in Trailer business until GEJ restore it in someways. The trailers put more pressure on our few roads and ultimately wreck it.

The cancellation of the Lagos metro is not based on any sound economic reason only to slow down the south but packaged and logically 'justified' on economic ground when the penalty is more than the cost.

and the jailing of mostly southern politicians is vindictive at best.

All the statement of liar mohammed is full of IF , so you can take their words with caution.

AIl the political parties use threat but not their principal like Bhuari who openly incite violence when he lost election looking for anarchy.

It's funny how some people are so smart they even fake their own death.

The woman salary at best will not be more than 4-5 millions per year.

I think she has one big politician who she is trying to fleece, so she has to fake being conned.

If we have good law enforcement agencies in this country, both her and her alleged con men need to answer questions.

Firstly, where in the world did she get 50millions from?

APC even start to use ukwu as weapon of electoral campaign.

For some weak men, they will fall for it and the woman will take away their pvc and voting rights.

Officially, sharareporter are news outlet for Bhuari.

Now we know why they know when Boko haram is bombing and reporting it even before they bomb.

when the military do succeed howsoever limited it maybe they don't report it.

No wonder the Nigerian Army is seeing them as saboteurs.

With all due respect to the man of God.

what I have read in the interview appears to me like a political commentary on what may or may not happen.

And it also contains advice on how the crisis can be averted.

The main crunch of the problem why we are having all the heating in the polity was because 'power must return to the north". They "loaned' the south.

GEJ is only there because Yar Adua died and the Fulani born to rule master want him to vacate after all , fisheries is what they do in his village but they are international cowboy from Sokoto to Port Harcourt.

He who lives in a glass house don't throw stones.

Avedon:
Perhaps they are not aware that Nigeria took off at the same time with Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan. Even South Africa look up to Nigeria as role model back then.

If you are watching economic programs on Africa, they'll mention South Africa, Angola Kenya before they remember Nigeria. they consider the first three as economic power house of Africa.

1. South Africa doesn't have crude oil, they depend on Mining and small scale manufacturing for their income.

2. Angola started extensive oil exploration in 2002 after 18 years long civil war that ended in the year 2000. But they successful transformed their economy. If you are doubting, type "Angolan economy" on Google.

3. Kenya depends on coffee for their income but they also transformed their economy. coincidentally, Kenya share some similarities with Nigeria politically. They thought that government of moy Kibaki was the best until they elected they their present government lead by Uhoru kenyanta the same way some people in Nigeria thinks Gej is the best thing that ever happen to Nigeria.

You may have a valid point. However, Bhuari is an old change. He is the past at 72years old.

GEJ without the North making the country ungovernable for him is the present.

There are better candidates who could do a better job ten times than GEJ and Bhuari combined. Those are what we need now and the future.

But will born to rule allow it or vote for it , the answer is NO.

Even in APC , are there not many competent candidates better than Bhuari ? Yes, they are but born to rule Fulani masters will never accept. They must be President whether or not the south likes it. They even go as far as saying southerns Muslims are kaferi"s.

Remember, Abiola, he was voted in by ordinary folks all over the country including the north but the political elites in the North make sure he was killed.

Do you consider that one Nigeria?

GEJ is NOT THE PROBLEM
GMB is NOT THE MESSIAH

Nigerians are the problem and only them can find a solution.

The born to rule Fulani masters want to keep the country perpetually on using natural resources only and incompetent people as long as it benefit their political elites and not even their own common man (now we have enough Alamajiri's in the North the size of so many African countries)

Education and development of your human resources capabilities without 10 to 1 quota system is the only future. 10-1 quota/federal character of Southerners obtaining average of 200 marks in jamb exams to go university as opposed to average of 20 marks for Northerern to go to university is absurd. So when we are talking of Education between south and north, it is like comparing apples to oranges.

The North will never allow true federalism because there will be no free money for the political elites.

Less than 2 months before a general election, the candidate for the opposition cannot articulate his party manifesto. They want to make it up as they go hoping to hoodwink nigerians just to get power back to the north.

Our major problem is Tribalism and Religion, so trying to put square peg in a round hole.

Both Yar Adua and GEJ should not have been elected because one is sick and a FULANI man that would take orders from Sultan of Sokoto as it is customary for Fulani man because their religion comes first and sultan is the head of the religion.

GEJ as usual is an accidental President from the south and a minority. He has to try to pleased 'our masters' in the North or they will make the country 'ungovernable for him' and they did through religious extremist.

Are there no young intelligent vibrant leaders in this country?

The answer is, yes, there are but the North will make sure we never have one unless is a 72years old Fulani man.

We have 3 Republic and there are 3 leaders from the North, all Fulani men.

2 from the south, one Yoruba who was a crony to the north until his second term.

The second an ijaw man who Was continued to be undermined because he is using 'north' slot for Presidency.

we are just deceiving each other by not rework our unworkable system which slow down some people for people who don't have ambition to catch people with ambition.

I guarantee you that nothing will change in 100years unless we stand up against born to rule.

US not buying our oil is a blessing in the open for us to have an honest debate and change course.

GMB is the past, GEJ is the present but we need a better person for the future.

Why do Muslim youth have to protect the church?

Are they saying that Boko haram will not attack because they are protecting the church as a muslim?

And that Boko haram will respect or know them as muslim?

What we need is not eye service but intelligence information about Boko haram membership and leaders hiding among the locals to perpetrate their evil acts.

We say thank you to fellow good human beings and condemned animals using religion as cover.

stagger:
I will lay the blame squarely on this man.

When people do things without information in a country like ours where impunity is the order of the day, they are only asking for trouble. I have bought and shipped in several cars from abroad and never had an issue. Always make sure that you have money for clearing your goods kept aside whenever you are shipping anything. If this fellow had done this, he would not be in this mess now. How do you containerize goods worth N33m and then just ship to Nigeria without your having money to pay for the clearance?

God Himself said: "My people perish for lack of knowledge."

You don't operate without knowledge in a society where impunity reigns supreme and justice is a world away.

Thank you.

The mistake is solely on the man who shipped his goods without making provision for cost of clearing it.

why not buy goods of 28m and use the rest 5 million to clear it? or is he planning not pay custom duty?

Is common sense completely gone?
I do feel sorry for him but the same result would have happened in the country where he is living.

Lesson here for the future of would be for people shipping goods to Nigeria. Make sure you have money to clear your goods on time.

One of the difficulty thing for me personally to understand is the 'men of God' deep involvement in politics.

They should be praying for candidates, the electorate and the country in general. They have, in my own opinion, stop doing the work of the father but now only of the flesh.

GEJ has few weaknesses and freedom of speech for everybody is one but that cannot be said of General Bhuari.

The announcement of candidacy of GEJ could have been the week before or after that date.

Is Okotie saying GEJ is an occult member and Bhuari is not ?. Did God told him that or he research it using his own wisdom?

When Tinubu appointed Osinbanjo for Bhuari, it is for his own personal ambitions and not for any other reason, and to bring politics into the church. Bhuari did this 4years ago with Tunde Bakare.

Bhuari will still fall short in election and Will again tacitly encouraged violence.

When APC won an election, it is free and fair. When they lose, it is rigging. Data don't lie. Combined APC still don't have the numbers because they are still busy playing politics of Tribalism and Regionalism.

VOTE APC
GMB.. Till 2050!!!

The quote above was extracted from JJ Rawlings quote after his takeover in Ghana. There is a big massive billboard at Kotoka international Airport in Accra where it was displayed boldly. It appears that Bhuari would be good at not giving credit when he uses other's word. He would rather want to claim it as his own. It does not make him a credible person or a leader. He just put Nigeria in the middle.

Bling bling all the way is what the women see.

Women are attracted solely by money and nothing else.

They love no one else except themselves not even their children.

Only the truth will set you free.

One of the reason I have serious doubt about Bhuari is the born to rule Fulani masters mentality. They always condescend on others.

So, at 72years old, Bhuari did not see a younger person in the whole of Nigeria to support as a candidate for Presidency.

For the diehard followers of Bhuari, I have news for you, this contest is about his own personal ambition and not the love of Nigeria (maybe love of the North)

All the world over, young people under 50years old are President but Nigeria is different.

Is it possible that pressure of the job cut short Bhuari, which we don't pray for. We then have another constitutional crisis like Yar Adua and GEJ.

what happened to all our young leaders even in APC?

Time will tell as something is not right.

To me personally, Bhuari is not about SERVICE but SELFISHNESS

bushdoc9919:
Speaking as a Southerner who lived in the North for some time...I can tell you that Northerners are not necessarily as violent as you think they are.
For the most part, many of them disapprove of Boko Haram.

Also, by your reasoning....South Easterners are all kidnappers because of the activity of one South Eastern Kidnapper.....South Westerners are ritualistic because of one SW ritualistic murder....and so on.

Tribal Bigotry is wrong.

Nigeria is a country full of jokers and comedians. The country is built on Tribalism and Religious weirdness.

The locals know more about Boko haram than they will admit and it is clear they are sabotaging the goverment effort to put a stop to the senseless killing believing that Islam will take over Nigeria.

Unfortunately, the North are trying to use fear and blackmail to force their religion and gain political power.

They have been doing 'isis' before that took root in Syria and Iraq.

what the extremist never asked themselves are if the south decided that they will force everyone in the south to become Christian's against their wish.

All the emirs and political elites in the North need to do something urgently.

#APC: What manner of change?#

The APC has been consistent in saying that the PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years inwhich corruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway. But a very close look at the APC, I am seeing Amaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP, Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP, Akume -8yrs governor under PDP, Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator under PDP, Timipre Sylver -4yrs governor under PDP, Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP, Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP, Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP, Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor, 3yrs Defense minister under PDP, El-Rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman under PDP, Oyinlola, 7 and half years governor under PDP, Segun Oni, 3 and half years governor under PDP, and to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a man who they claimed spent 8 of the disastrous 16 yrs as the maximum ruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescue mission.

It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrousyears" are now dumped.

Please Nigerians what is the change in this APC?

PRO and APC are either side of the coin. True change comes from a great vision rather than desperate power highjack.

roqchiq:
I just had to add my 2kobo biko...

Everybody is shouting CHANGE CHANGE, please what kind of change are you proposing, there is bad change and good change. Nigerians should be really careful, because while they are offering you change nobody is making a pristine interpretation of what kind of change they are offering.

secondly, to my civilian knowledge, military is military everywhere, and i am yet to see any military that has the right to protest talk less of mutiny, if this is the kind of change they are offering, then one day they will grant the military the right to plan a coup.

thirdly, i want a good change for my country, i don't want tribal sentiments or religious manipulations, any group or tribe that believes its their god given right to rule the country, who can't bear to see another tribe become president, and thus creates mayhem and chaos, should just pack and go, either Nigeria belongs to all of us, or you carry your own corner, give it a different name and rule as you like.

I don't vote for skewed/undefined change, I don't vote for continuity, I vote for a better Nigeria.

Thank you.

I have warned the people of this country to be careful what kind of change they are looking for.

Bhuari is BACKWARD OLD LOOKING CHANGE.

Bhuari handlers are like used car salesman trying to sell us a 1983 used Peugeot 504 and call it 2015 edition.

No matter how you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.

Bhuari at 72years old is an OLD CHANGE no matter how you package it.

All Bhuari photos are studios type. He is purposely posing for the camera whereas GEJ is at an occasion.

If we truly genuinely pray in this country, we should pray to God for his will to be done and the best happen to Nigeria.

Are there no more competent youth in Nigeria that a 72years old grandfather is what we are asking to lead us as a nation.

we are just being economical with the truth.

I prayed and asked God to intervene divinely to bring peace, stability and prosperity to Nigeria and crush evil doers who use fanatics of a particular religion to blackmail others via terrorism.

So, in OBJ book and members of the foolish community sai Bhuari is a change? Just because they put a yoruba man as a VP to an old clueless guy who is the head of Tribalism and Religion bigotry in Nigeria?

OBJ in his usual self is being vindictive. Twice he became Head of state by accident and manipulated by the Northern born to rule Fulani masters.

I think one should deliver one self from slavery if you are being forced to be a slave.

singing sai Bhuari in church shows how they have turned the church into market place. What will Christ says?

The lack of insight is very clear here that the Northerners engineered crisis for them to claim back the presidency. Anyone who can't see this is not fit to have wisdom.

The main reason anyone should vote GEJ apart from his achievements is to nail the coffin of born to rule mentality finally once and for all in this country.

EbuGeneral:
this is becoming too much, God help us. If you really have a heart, vote Gen. Buhari come 2015 to stop all this mess.

So, your General Bhuari knows how to 'deal' with Boko Haram ?

Is this not a confirmation that Boko Haram is a political tool of the North to wrestle political power from the south.

I have news for you, what goes around comes around. The North are just going to disintegrate the country quicker than it would have been.

They promised to make the country ungovernable for GEJ because they lost an election. They will still lose in 2015.

So, an old man of 72 years is the one that can run our country better than 50 years old like Fashola, Oshiomole, Okorocha or kwankwanso ?

It is about Bhuari personal political ambition and the North taking over presidency especially Oil block share in 2016.

The prof. has spoken well. Action need to taken asap.

From our last experience, Bhuari incite and encourage his supporters who killed a lot youth corpers from the south.

Bhuari is not a nationalist unlike OBJ and people from the south west. He is a born to rule Fulani man. The North fold their arms until Boko haram got out of hand. The majority of the people who died are southerns.

Bhuari is contesting for the North and not for Nigerians. The south west cannot see this. Competency is what we need now and there are many more competent people both in the North and South than Bhuari but he is looking for war.

What Bhuari and the north does not know is that no region or tribe has monopoly of violence.

The North has dragged the country backward and they continue to do so.

I for one will like to see us go our own separate ways.

We are not one and should stop pretending that we are.

egift:
- Voting for Jonathan will perpetuate Corruption.
- Voting for Buhari will reduce corruption to the barest minimum, bring accountability and position PDP to monitor APC (since they already know all the means of looting).

Vote for Change!

All Nigerians will get with your sai Bhuari is an old backwards looking change.

many people organisation donation just over 20b, in your PROGRETHIEVES party, one man took 17b of Rivers money to elect your candidate

wao, when if he ever get elected Bhuari will start fighting corruption with Amaechi.

This is not 1983 or military dictatorship. This is modern day democracy

calebo101:
APC: What manner of change?

The APC has been consistent in saying that the PDP has ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held sway. But a very close look at the APC, I am seeing

* Amaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP,

* Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP,

* Akume -8yrs governor under PDP,

* Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator under PDP,

* Timipre Sylver -4yrs governor under PDP,

* Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP,

* Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP,

* Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP,

* Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor, 3yrs Defense minister under PDP,

* El-Rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman under PDP,

* Oyinlola, 7 and half years governor under PDP,

* Segun Oni, 3 and half years governor under PDP,

And to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a man who they claimed spent 8 of the disastrous 16 yrs as the maximum ruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescue mission.

It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrous years" are now dumped.

Please Nigerians what is the change in this APC?

OLD PEOPLE CHANGE , BACKWARD LOOKING CHANGE

ASSOCIATION OF PROGRETHIEVES CRIMINALS

If whoever the messenger maybe, what about the message.

Bhuari is not the change this country is looking for at this point in our country history.

Sai Bhuari is pass his sell by date at 72 years old, he cannot provide energetic leadership we need and I doubt even if he can see the world in a modern view. He certainly cannot stabilize 'world oil prices'

APC as a party is built on the premises of grabbing power back to the North. Period. It is not a true opposition as alternative government in waiting. They are just an hybrid of PDP and anything goes.

Infact, it is all about Bhuari and Tinubu personal ambitions otherwise the likes of democratically tested candidates like Fashola, Oshiomole, Okorocha and kwankwanso will be APC candidate by now.

Also, power rotation should be put into our constitution because we are just bunch of Tribal and religious nation and don't have plan for the country as a whole.

Elantracey:
Why must everything about women be equated to money?

Because, it is their first, middle and last name. Even mother Theresa likes money to for different reasons to carry out charitable work.

In any event, if a man has money, he will pump harder, take his time and the partner can relax to enjoy it.

MONEY AND WOMEN are twin. Scientific proven fact.

Only a dog go back to its vomit.

If you want change, is a 72years old grandfather the change you are looking for?

What happened to young democratically tested leaders like Fashola,Oshiomhole and okorocha ?

I know, they are not Fulani born to rule.

The election is about Bhuari personal ambition and the only candidate the North can use to get power back to the north.

Going backwards is not a change. Where are the youths or they have to wait until they are 72years old with little strength before they can become leader

Cv or no cv,

What is a man looking for at 72. It appears that Bhuari want to force himself on Nigerians whichever way and he doesn't mind bloodshed if can't have his way.

That's how born to rule Fulani behaves. They are always superior to other people.

if anybody truely want a change, including your people General and this is not about him and power going back to the north, what happened to young democratically tested leaders, Fashola, Oshiomhole or okorocha.

Let us stop pretending that Bhuari loves Nigeria. It is a lie from the pit of hell. It is about Bhuari personal ambition but he has no vision and if by mistake he is elected will cause more constitutional crisis like his late Fulani brother from same Kastina state. Umoru Yar Adua.

Please don't let history repeat itself. Even his choosen VP is more qualified than him, unfortunately he is not northerner or a muslim.

We have two major problem in this country, Tribalism and Religion and is far bigger than corruption.
