Wadeoye: Buhari/Oshiomole. I dont see making an igbo man vp adding any value to the dream of evolving an alternative platform, otherwise, someone like ngige would have been a good vp candidate.

Deep Sight:

Why risk a controversial candidate at all if you are determined to seize the presidency from the PDP? Why not shop for someone without such "baggage"?

pazienza: Yoruba and northern alliance again? No suprise there,it's the same bed fellows of the nigerian civil war fame. But be rest assured that your plans will fail. GEJ till 2019. Enjoy the fresh air,while it lasts.

nuclearboy: ^ I'll add to Gbawe's post one more point

[3] Nigeria's international image will be corrected under Buhari! We will feel a sense of pride carrying passports that currently stand as a badge of shame!

But the current establishment? They will gnash teeth and wail under such a government!

Deep Sight:

Lol, come on, no one ever said that, come on! Buhari personally killing corpers? Lol.

omo alaro: From a recent survey, result from 31,255 respondents shows clearly that a combination of Buhari and Fashola is the liberation ticket we need in Nigeria to get out of this quagmire. This is why the merger talk must never fail.

Wadeoye: Buhari/Oshiomole. I dont see making an igbo man vp adding any value to the dream of evolving an alternative platform, otherwise, someone like ngige would have been a good vp candidate.

anydek: The best and realistic candidates:Buhari/ Osho Baba.

Oahray: lol. PDP would not let Oshiomhole contest. He is yet to disprove the 'educational qualification' scandal. From the look of the plenty evidence, he has no real certificates. PDP would drag his as.s to court the moment he publicly declares his presidential ambition.

Try Fashola for president. I don't like Buhari. Idiagbon was the real ruler in their regime.

fagin1982: Why this funny love for Buhari...Majority of the people clamouring for Buhari Leadership were not even born then when he was a military president...Majority also should take thr time and study his antecedents..Buhari is not what Nigeria needs in this modern times...Politics , democracy has gone far away from wickedness and shear military brutality...We as a nation needs a Leader with vision, a modern day Man , a technocrat ,a brigde builder , a non tribalist , a humble servant with zero tolerance for indiscipline and corruption....Nigeria is a faliure today just because real men shy aware from Politics.....Buhari , Fashola o, El Rufai ,and co cant take Nigeria far....We need a true aPATRIOT ..

For me GEJ should go for a second term....after then we can start talking about replacement...Take it to the moon ,PDP is not yet ready to reliquinsh power esp @the Federal level...


What we should be talking about here in Nigeria is total re-orientation...The Basic units have failed ..Our Families have failed ,the society has failed ,individually we ve failed ..Let us all start by correcting out own personal lives , and strive to be good and patriotic citizens....One funny thing about Nigerians we re very good @criticizing from the outside when we re not even better off...

Wadeoye:

Hold it man. Oshiomole doesnt have any certificate and he is governor.

Man, we are talking about candidates that can win. Fashola will only win vote in south west with the support of acn and that makes him a good vp to Buhari who can deliver votes across the north without spending a kobo.

pazienza: Yoruba and northern alliance again? No suprise there,it's the same bed fellows of the nigerian civil war fame. But be rest assured that your plans will fail. GEJ till 2019. Enjoy the fresh air,while it lasts.

Gbawe:

Buhari is not "controversial" in the North. He did well in the North in 2011. His 'Achilles heel' is the image problem he has in the South. That can always be worked on by pairing him with a popular Southern achiever like Fashola. In all of this, let us not forget that Buhari is a huge vote-winner in the North. Buhari is not my first choice but I would not mind him in 2015 at all because of two things.

(1) He can win votes in the North ,better than almost anyone else that comes to mind, that will contribute to the defeat of the PDP. Of course permutations change if GEJ fails to gain the ticket and the PDP goes for broke with a popular Northerner.

(2) I envisage he will be the character to do what Nigeria needs more than anything else. The deployment of square pegs in square holes. He is one of the few characters amongst our prominent Politicians who will fearlessly give the radical leaders of tomorrow a chance. We will see appointments like Femi Falana as AGF and Ribadu as Petroleum Minister. Buhari will likely seek to succeed on the template of using proven achievers and men of principles. He will then provide the protection that will allow these guys get on with the job of transforming Nigeria. Anyone who is dedicated to doing that ,as President, will resolve most of the major problems of Nigeria in record time. That is what we want instead of the naff gradualism of the PDP.

Oahray: Yep, Osho has no REAL certificates. I followed the election tribunal case closely, saw all the evidence for his lack of qualification. Bad case for him. They had to run to the Supreme court and the 'powers that be' to stop the election tribunal from looking into his qualification ish.

As for 2015, forget it. No current president would ever lose a re-run in the next 20years.

PointB: The other reason I maintain it is idiocy to even mute buhari for 2015 is because part of the reason why democracy is yet to take root in Nigeria is because of id.iots such as Buhari who truncated democracy simply because they lacked foresight!

He jumped into the fray with little or no idea about what it takes to rule a country, and ended up creating more political tension than he solved.

Fast forward to recent years, what has buhari 'said' in recent time to show which direction he is going to lead the country if made president. I am not asking for what he has 'done', cos he I haven't heard him done anything other than campaigning during election.

What economic or political idea has buhari proposed with his own words (not some polished manifestoes)? Other than issuing threats of 'dogs and baboons will be soaked in blood' or treathening brimstone and fire if he loses election, pray say, what positive comment has the murderous ex-general ever made concerning his intention for Nigeria.

Let's even assume he intends to fight corruption. The big question is how? What are his plan for fighting corruption, and after that what next?

I rather hear this from the horse's mouth, than from paid agents and AC.N hacks who are only interested in what Tinubu will pay them once he gain unlimited access to the nation's coffers with immunity guaranteed courtesy of his effort in delivery at the ballots.

take dat: Bros, you were asked to provide a realistic option and not a trashy epistle!
