kabba7: Why do S/E & SS people jump into conclusions that the MB people will not vote for Buhari who told them that? For the avoidance of doubt votes were casted for GEJ because of the likes of the governors of Niger ,jigawa etc that dumbly thought having a PhD will assist Jona dumb in running an efficient ĄЙd̶̲̥̅̊ clean government not the ongoing massive looting

0lumide: General Buhari is our true patriot! We need his help one more time.

taharqa: @olumide, u said: 'our best period was unda Buhari presidency..'. Plz, as a student of history myself, wud u be kind enuf to list just 5 'things' or projects he did during d almost 2yrs of dat regime? Thnx

cr8v: The main thing that makes this thread suck is that the OP is overprejudiced. I think that posts that make the front page should be void of bias rather shd be an open forum for minds to interact. Though I voted for him in the last election becos of Bakare but ryte now I'm too convinced he has a hand in Boko Haram.

Sincere 9gerian:
Massive looting under GEJ? When Buhari toppled Shagari, he told us there was massive looting under Shagari and Ekwueme. But with the benefit of hindsight, we now know the massive looters between Shagari and Ekwueme(who currently lives in modest houses) on one hand, and Buhari, IBB and Abacha on the other hand. I guess you'r talking about the same massive looting.

Ibn sultan: his pATRIOTISM N intergrity is fr sue wt we need as a NATION.

size38: The things this writer mentioned as no go area are the things that made the man Buhari bad. During last election, Buhari never campaigned in most states down the south. He is a trablist cum fundamentalist .

DaLover: Bihari is now a reference point for Islamist in this country, they look to him as a source of inspiration, he may not actively encourage them but imagine the belief and renewed vigor the Islamist would get if Buhari becomes president.

Secondly, lets ask ourselves how Buhari has run his party? How well and efficiently has he run a democratic institution? How well has he built a consensus amongst its leaders? Has he been able to build a party that attracts Nigerians with sterling leadership qualities, how have the CPc controlled lgas and states fared? Have they started casting wealth? Or still depending like leaches on Niger delta ol money?

Please I don't want to talk further cos I am getting really pissed

anulaxad: the best presidency era nigeria had was yakubu gowon but the man is not a show off most of you are forgetting what he has done yakubu gowon was the reason people came to seek the Nigerian dream which is lost now this is the man who brought economic and infrastructure boom remember the infamous 1970's boom its because his underrated if you was alive when his was in power you will know what i'm talking about. Buhari ruled similar like sani abacha but was not corrupt nothing else to it he was brutal and did not focus on developing the country. i don't mind if nigeria is corrupt but if they focus on dealing with the human rights structure of the country infrastructure and fast development then i will not have a problem. example: Venezuela, Columbia,mexico and even Myanmar, thank you.

anyway i would not mind buhari ruling nigeria becuase if he tries sh it it will be easy to attack him and damage him becuase of his old age thinking

0lumide: Me: YES!!!
Note: Age, religion and tribe are primitive excuses so please be objective with your reasons.

0lumide: Me: YES!!!
If your only fear of Buhari is "islamization" of Nigeria, then note that he did not islamize Nigeria when he had totalitarian power so why now that power belongs to the people?

fayne: its obvious dt we need leaders wit gud qualities ov his,buh certainly nt him.middle belt states lyk jos,lokoja,benue,kwara,abuja,keffi et al wil neva vote for him.check d records ov d last election.thou u mirecords,dey re al dere for u.

Rusau: 4 wateve reason, Buhari has expired and we need fresh blood in Aso villa.

By the time Muhammed got to Ikeja, Captain Martin Adamu, Lts. Nathan, Nassarawa, Muhammadu Buhari, Alfred Gom, Longboem and a bunch of NCOs were already in control of the battalion, having [size=13pt]executed[/size] several Igbo soldiers and officers (including Major B Nnamani, one of the company commanders) and arrested many others by cordoning off the quartermaster section of the barracks or grabbing soldiers as they came out for morning PT.The battalion commander, Lt. Col. Henry Igboba, narrowly escaped a dragnet deployed around his house by Lt. Longboem and got away.
Muhammed reportedly gave orders to stop the killing, and focus instead on securing the perimeter as well as approach roads and taking measures to ensure the eventual success of their activities.

chiswaggs: I think this man's time has passed. We keep calling children the leaders of tomorrow and I wonder, which tomorrow? Is it the tomorrow the leaders of today still want to rule. I mean, when he was the right age he ruled this nation. Its owkay lets move on. We've gone beyond his time. We need a young, vibrant actively working Nigerian that knows the indices of development in the modern world and that knows what it takes to move a nation foward in this generation to lead us. Countries that have old presidents/ prime ministers are gradually removing them . Recently an african country that had a president of about 80 yrs or there about voted him( even though he was the imcumbent out of power). Look at Obama and Romney's ages. What's wrong with young performing governors like Akpabio, Fashola or Rochas Okorocha ruling us. He had an opportunity to change this country and his supporters will say he tried his best. Is he the only one with idea on how to move this nation foward? Let him also give other people a chance.

donnn: Because he is a bad loser, whenever he losses hundreds of life are always wasted......
