where did u get this from? Paper I guess. [/b]I still see boko haram as a local terror group, [b] the main issue is the hypocrisy going in the Nigerian army, cos I know and believe if they really wants to wipe the word BOKO HARAM off Nigeria , they will.


Let's pray and hope for change.

Jorussia:
I hope you realise that the governors of the states,the almajiri is sited,can still lay claim to it,because they are responsible for both the employment and running of schools, which is more expensive than building the schools it self.

elections allowing opposition to win their enclaves
back, unlike what played out in past administrations.
The era of election rigging is now over, courtesy of
Jonathan.
Sentiment apart, which past Nigeria President / Head
of state recorded such remarkable achievements in 3-
years?
More to come 2015
We have no doubt our mind that President Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan, will surely be re-elected in 2015 based
on his achievements.
•How will someone called BUHARI who has never been
into Education System before bring change to the one
GEJ is doing?
•How will BUHARI who didn't not have any investment
bring change to the economy of Nigeria?
IN GOODLUCK JONATHAN WE TRUST

amakaeugene:
hope u read david mark statement that the oppostion is very strong and would give pdp a run for its money, that coming from a party that never tells truth sums it up. Its the north/west vs east/south if u didn't skip geography classes [/b]u know the percentage[b] and this time no obj that smugles u weak president to govt

amakaeugene:
[s][/s]and so was it a mirage when it was speculated acn, cpc, anpp would become one. They called it impossible. So was it a mirage that many said they should be called bastards if apc survives a year. So was it a mirage that they held the freest primary and atiku, okorocha, kwawaso would simply accept the defeat and would pledge to support gmb. The apc advocates everywhere are not paid. People are tired of gej they need change. Apc is not in the fg that it now have so much to beg people. Unlike pdp that would budget our resource to buy aso ebi for campaigns, share expired bag of rice through pej. And pay 5k per head to rent crowd and give gifts. You tanoids can wallow in the self conviction and falsehood that this is all media hype. From vanguard to nta, to siverbird(brue pdp) to ait and other media hijacked by pdp and TAN, these are all pdp controlled. Infact pdp only exist on nta and TAN jingles. You would be suprised on how gej has become unpopular in nigeria when result comes. From the north to west and a few south south states he is gone and dusted only Tan wont see this because they want to milk him off for campaign funds. Gmb is the only politician that would fill a stadium on his own people would pay to travel and be there. The buhari campaign support account is an example, every second ordinary nigerians are paying to that account frm what they have. Wake us from the mirage reality stares you in the face. Brace urself change is here

drss:
Buhari's candidature is so over hype.

PapiWata:
Weeping General Buhari's true value lies in the comedic relief he brings to every election conducted in Nigeria over the past decade. Everyone informed about the existence and diabolical character of terror gang leader Buhari will no doubt be aware that he is a masochist and career election loser who actually enjoys being defeated at national polls, so as to have a ready excuse to weep again in public like a malnourished infant housed in a refugee camp, therefore it stands to reason that Buhari is as essential a freak side-show to any Nigerian election as are dry banana leaves substituting for toilet paper in a public latrine.

Raiders:
in politics, you campaign by pulling down your opposition. This is how politics is practices worldwide. I am not trying to justify any tribalist but as a southerner I don't see anything wrong with his statement because he didnt make any tribal statement. I would have been offended if he said northerners should not vote for southerners or Christians but he didn't say that so there is nothing wrong with his statement

Raiders:
can you please quote any part of the deputy governor statement that had a tribal tone. You guys are the one making it a tribal issue because the deputy governor didn't make any tribalist statement. [/b]He is in APC and simply campaigning for his political party[b] He has every right to tell Nigerians to vote for APC just like GEJ or any pdp governor has right to tell Nigerians to vote for PDP. You guys are just over heating the politics by misquoting the deputy governor
