Meninmen:
Buhari has never worn suit since he became an adult until the 2015 election campaign and after he won the election, he has never worn any suit again. Prove me wrong.

I wrote that epistle for you so you can know that it was not just mere alliance between Buhari and Tinubu that brought him to power. They had to make him drop some of his archaic ways of doing things (at least before the election). Nobody is saying people were not yearning for change. Many Nigerians wanted an alternative to PDP but the APC strategists still knew that rebranding PMB to make him more widely acceptable would increase his chances of becoming president because PDP were constantly reminding Nigerians of Buhari's views on Boko Haram, Sharia, not to mention his "Baboo being soaked in blood" statement. Don't look at Buhari wearing suit during the campaign in isolation. Look at it as one of the many things APC strategists did to help him get power (and I have previously mentioned other things they did to rebrand him, wearing suits inclusive)

For example, no matter how woeful an opposition government has performed, if Kaduna state governor (El-Rufai) decide to run for president, he will need alot of rebranding and repackaging for him to be accepted in the South.

I usually find it difficult to attach pictures here. However, do me a favor of googling ' Buhari pictures in suit' and you will see what you are looking for. I usually find it difficult to agree with people who who seem to be extremist while trying to criticize others that is lack of contrucctive criticism. For example your opinion that the man has never worn a suit in his life prior to campaign is an extremist ideology. Please be honorable enough to google the pictures and come here to tell me your findings. Thanks

Meninmen:
Go ask Tinubu. Putting suit on him was not the only packaging they helped him with. I have earlier listed others for you. If not for Tinubu and Co, the terrorist has never worn suit in his life before.

Then, your submission is out of the topic of discussion. And how sure are you he has never worn a suit before in his life? These are the kind of statements I am always against, very unsubstantiated. As a failure as Buhari is in governance, such topics as Op has put here are meaningless, trying to insinuate that Buhari came to power because of suit packaging. And by the way, when you say Tinubu and co helped Buhari to get to power, that is politics, Obasanjo, Yar Adua, GEJ and all the politicians you know did not win elections on their own. You always go into alliances with people. Some people are afraid to say the truth of how APC came to power, and i boldly state it anyway.

The monumental failures of PDP during the 16 years they rule, especially the catastrophic GEJ regime gave rise to APC ascension to power. Of course this was made easier when Tinubu who commanded a large followership in south west came together with Buhari who had same in the north. That gave PDP no Chance and people just needed an alternative from the PDP failures. Weather the alternative is what people anticipated is a different topic on its own

Meninmen:
Lol. Comprehension is really your problem. You can go and ask Tinubu an co how they "packaged" Buhari for the 2015 election.

We in the SS and SE never and will never support him. I voted PDP in 2015 and 2019 and PDP won my state in the SS in 2015 and 2019.

We know a terrorist when we see one and we can never support one.

Packaged him by putting suit on him? Very funny

VULCAN:
Actually you are the dumb one thou BMC

Does the picture or the caption refer to Buhari's poor governance? But guilty conscience pushed you to attempt to defend what is indefensible.

What kind of guilty conscience and what is BMC? If you are not dumb what message is the OP trying to pass? And many shameless lots here blindly followed. The OP is simply trying to tell us that Buhari putting up suit then convinced people that he is a democrat, enlightened or fit for governance. And that is exactly my grouse with you lot. How does wearing suit equate to being democrat, fit to rule or presenting a person better than who wears our native cloths? And how on earth will someone be convinced to vote somebody simply because the person is wearing suit? Base on your line of reasoning, I don't actually expect you to understand the crux of the matter, if you can easily be fooled to believing that, wearing suit during campaign can get people votes

Meninmen:
I think you should read and understand before commenting so you don't appear as someone who is stupid.

Buhari contested for president 3 times and he lost back to back. You know why? He was more of a "Northern Candidate" than a "Nigerian candidate". He has always been viewed by the South and middle belt as a tribal and ethnic bigot, an unrepentant coup plotter, and one with disdain for human right.

So, during the 2015 campaign, he was repackaged by Tinubu and co so he can have a widespread acceptance (especially from south). During the 2015 campaigns, his wife was prominent (unlike in previous campaigns), he wore the tribal clothes of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria, he wore suit, etc, he asked to be called Mohammed Buhari instead of General Mohammed Buhari. This was to make him appear as a reformed democrat who will be fair to all Nigerians. This lie was accepted by only the SW (probably because one of their own will be VP) and Buhari won the election.

Now, he has been president for 6 years, with the Killings by bandits and fulani herdsmen and pampering of these same killers, he has showed us that a leopard can never change his colour. He is and will always be an ethno-religious bigot. We in the SS and SE have always known this. Only those in the SW are coming to terms with the kind of animal they voted.

Forget this long story. Buhari lost elections 3 times not because he did not wear suit, it was majorly due to the rigging machinery of PDP under Obasanjo and then Maurice Iwu. He won in 2015 not because of wearing suit but due to an alliance with a southern political juggernaut and most importantly, the failures of PDP and Jonathan in particular. Regardless of if he wore suit or not, people just needed something different from PDP and Jonathan.

Again do not make me believe that you supported Buhari then because some one put a suit on him. This will be the dumbest thing I have heard all my life

Nonpartisan1:
Flash flood...it happens all over the world, so is not extra ordinary.

The irony of it is, wait let this happen in Lagos first and you will see the meltdown here. Nobody will remember flash flood o. It will be words like overhype slum, glorified slum and tinubu

sandymikky:
And Yar Adua never wore a suit during campaign to deceive people.

How can somebody be dumb to be deceived by ordinary suit. The person should be ashamed of himself and his generation

OMNIVIRUS:
My brother I tire.
I remember they made it compulsory for project defence and all.
I no send give them

Na for south here they worship suit. Go interview in the north, who send you for suit, ordinary chinos with shirt and tie you will not see. Everyone is with well ironed baban Riga, pan slippers and cap to match

Meninmen:
He only wore it during the 2015 election campaign so he can appear presentable to the South.

Terrorists don't wear suits.

Are the southern people so dumb to trust anybody that wears suit? Some of your postulations here are truly unbelievable. What has suit got to do with governance. I don tire for you people here

Masterkernel1:
He wore it during Campaign shoots, it was littered all over Lagos, so what's your point. When they were trying to convince Nigerians that he's a Democrat then.

The people that think democrats should be defined by wearing suit are dumb. This question by the OP too is dumb. How can suit help someone performed or make him a democrat? Belerus has a detector worst than Buhari that wears suit all the time

Hezzyluv:
I wish you meant it with the whole of your heart

Nothing will come out of it. His state governor just closed some major roads in his state due to banditary. If he cannot crush the bandits in his own state, then I am not believing this

Sysdatek:
Barca wasted money sha
From
dembele
To Coutinho
To this one

400m thrash

Yea, but this guy's were really hot at the time Barca splash on them. Coutinho was the best at Liverpool, Grizman best at athleti and Dembele among the hottest youth in the world at that time. No body imagined this kind of result

hatakekakashi:
We still need ndidi or any decent DM for that matter.

Fred is not it

Very correct, Fred is a jonsing guy that needs to be on the bench asap. Though Matic is older and slow but I still prefer him

PENNYSWAP:
If Dangote's refinery in Lagos State produces 105 million litres per day
While
BUA Group refinery in Akwa-Ibom state 32.5 million litres per day
Assuming we have just this two in naija,
Naija daily consumption is 50m litres per day.

That means dangote 105 + Bua 32.5 = 137.5 litres per day

We consume 50m litres daily

137.5 - 50 = 87.5m litres in excess

Why do we still experience high pump price and fuel scarcity

You didn't understand his comment. He is talking about 2 years to come when the refineries maybe functional, not this year or last year or previous years. The refineries he mentioned are not functioning yet

Useless government

It is not wickedness per se. It is not always convenient but once completed, the benefits far outweigh the inconveniences. I remember pencinema before the bridge construction, during the construction and now after construction. That place is highly convenient to drive through now

It is amazing how someone will comfortably ignore Obasanjo as a detector in agbada. Look at how many PDP chairmen he ousted from office, senated presidents not left out, a sitting governor kidnapped under his directive and using military jets to bomb communities who were adjuged to have killed serving military personnel. Rigging of elections was the order of the day under the infamous Maurice Iwu in those days. What did this man not do? Obasanjo and Buhari as retired military men are not different. Na the same mama born them

FarahAideed:
I know you have a media contract to do media propaganda for this govt ...

But the guy is right. What is in the headline is completely different from the body. This is media sensation. In as much as the FG has fail spectacularly in security, we should not be carried away by propaganda. Is it the same so called powerful people in Aso Rock causing banditary in the president's home state?

rottennaija:
Man U really messed up in this deal. Here is how thing will likely play out. Ronaldo has an entitlement mentality, being a club hero and legend, Oleg will not want to upset him which means he will have to play no matter how bad he is or contribute less to the team compared other players that might be in a better form than him.

Unlike Pep who wouldn't care to him in the bench if he isn't measuring up. Now real pressure will be on Oleg who was rebuilding a very good team.

Every one with their analysis the way it suits their narrative. Currently, who among the united forward players are better Ronaldo, even at 36? Answer sincerely and you will see the defects in you analysis

Dvin:
Taaa Manchester City initially offered far lesser pay then rejected him.

Are you sure? City offered little above 500, the issue was they didn't want to pay Juve the transfer feel requested. However, everything changed once united showed interest in negotiating a deal

Indispensable85:
Gareth bale is no longer in real madrid na.....

Where is he then, person wey the play steady for Madrid this season

For me I see no need for his extradition, right from onset I felt the FBI were just being sensational about the whole saga base on what they told us, except if there is anything else. He collected bribe to arrest someone, yes it is an offense but it is not worth talking about extradition. Demotion suits it for me

mabea:
This is the very situation with ManUtd in this present era . All they do is pursue after money. They no longer care about trophies. If not tell me the reason behind Ronaldo's signing which could disstabilize the team. A sold out united fan but I don't support this panic buy.

What do you mean by panic buy? Apart from football being a business, Ronaldo still has alot to offer on field. Go and look at his goal scoring record with Juve before you talk. Which of the strikers in United currently offer half of what Ronaldo offers? Forget players like Martial, Rashford, even cavani. Ronaldo is certainly an improvement on the squad and not a liability. And by the way, football is businesses and you need to be money oriented, ask Barca how far

Mr2019:
While Cr7 drops out of Europe's top five highest paid players

At his age and still collecting that amount in itself is astonishing. Majority of players in his age group are either retired or playing in obscure leagues.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Which nonsense heads will roll? How many of the attackers have they arrested? They should go and arrest the bandits and stop punishing innocent soldiers.

What do you by they here and punishing innocent soldiers? I don't understand you. The head that should roll is the one that is charged with securing that facility. Bandits entered a military facility of that caliber, carried out operation successful and you are asking which head to roll? So we the civilians are the ones going to arrest bandits that attack the military while in their barracks and they could not arrest a single person? Na wao

Have they killed more than Boko Haram?

Yes, heads should roll over this embarrassing situation. Some people should have resigned by now but this is Nigeria. The Buhari regime need to wake up and take control of the security challenges we are having. We can not go any further down as we are already are. But alas, the vultures in the presidency are more concerned about tackling voices that are raising concerns rather than tackling the ugly insecurity. One day we will wake up to hear that all the security chiefs are kidnapped and trillions demanded as ransom

Him no fit do like Kante. Just tangling any how. He sure know the kind of trouble he has landed himself in now. Tones of regrets will follow.

hotwax:
The fact that Afghans are running to the airport to escape Taliban regime is an insult to Taliban. Get that into ur empty head and stop posting nonsense

The Talibans are no saints but the guy you quoted is right. The attack was carried out by ISIS-K, who are sworn enemies to the Talibans. I fear for Afghanistan, what will follow is regular suicide bombings, militias holding territories like in Libya. The Talibans will not have easy atall

Arsenal? Most likely to suffer defeat than win

Itgeo:
And we can see how far the school holder has taken us so far

This your line of argument too does not hold water in Nigerian situation. Remind me again the qualification of e.g Jonathan, we were the best governed county right? How many degree holders are governors in the east? I assume all. What are their developmental strides? Very pathetic including Anambra. My state Governor Answered doctor, whatever that means, but there is nothing like development in any sector. The point is, forget the big big titles when it comes to leadership in Nigeria.

Bandits waiting to pluck them from the Skye. They may even decide to invade NAF and simply take them away. After all officers are being kidnapped inside NDA these days

Sijo01:
Neighbours with their 'they saw, they saw'...... How come non of them reported the man to the authorities before now ... Maybe the little boy would have still be alive

You absolutely right. There is something fundamentally wrong with Nigerians. The poor boys were tortured frequently, the neighbors knew and no one cared to report the daily abuse till the worst happened. That boy would be alive today if the neighbors were proactive.
