thelastPope: He forgot to tell them that the lousy governor of the only state his party controls could not provide common borehole for the state university.

He forgot to tell them how he was part of the big oil scam by overthrowing a democratically elected civilian government.

He is a very BIG FOOOL!!!

Should Buhari interfere in the governance and administration of Nasarawa, it is profound dolts as you that would be the first to be barking that Buhari is practicing godfatherism.

A State University gets funding from the State Government. A State University has a vice chancellor, a dean of student affairs, etc. But to utter dunderheads like you, Buhari has to be there, to instruct the governor who instructs the VC of the university to do what must be done.

You are a DOOFUS!

If the international community can persuade Buhari (a coupist) to come to their country with a pre determine speech to lambast his country,then it speaks volumes of the manner of people we had as president/head of state...Buhari is a drowning man,he is confused.

i don't even know if some people comment'g actually read d speech.Buhari categorically stated Nigeria problems and adviced ways that it can be solved.i think that in respect is a mark of a good leader.That is why we keep on choosing the wrong leader that takes us 4years backward each time.

F*OOL.

Was is not IBB that came after and scatter the whole thing with the Introduction of SAP to the benefit of the west. Even the Shagari Administration would have adopted the disastrous SAP if Buhari government had not taken over. But alas, IBB came and continued where Shagari stopped.

I will not lower myself to join insults with you. However I will ask you some questions Was Buhari not the head of the state? Why did he not sack Babangida? For your information the buck stops with the leader. If he can't be asked to determine the quality of character of his fellow officers and then plans and executes a coup with those same criminal officers, he must also take repsonsability for the subsequent actions of those officers. You can't seperate the overthrow of Shagari with the subsequent coup in 1985. Both are linked.

The general spoke the truth. That's what he is noted for. It's near imposibility to disprove such.

The truth? for real? Come on my fellow Nairalanders while a lot of what he said may indeed be true, I think we really need to address the case of the 2011 election. Dose any sane, neutral person really think Buhari won that election? For Gods sake, the entire south voted en mass for GEJ(Yes I know many regret that not,but that's not the point)add the middle belt and please tell me how Buhari could have won in 2011.

Buhari is not a bad man. He cares deeply for Nigeria and wants to see the country do well. However he has in my opnion a bit of a 'God-Complex' he simply can't see or accept any other view that is not in 100% agreement with his. It is this personality flaw that will prevent him every being President of this nation
Re: Buhari's Speech At Africa Diaspora Conference London by Joey82(m): 1:14pm On Mar 07, 2013
Well, i've read buhari's speech and i've followed the comments down and i must confess the level of nepotism in Nigeria seem beyond cure.
how come some folks are only seeing where he talked down corruption and other national ills.
how come nobody is commending him for castigating SAP, he even mentioned the bully of the IMF on nigeria's economy. it takes courage to say those kinda things even in the uk.
From what i read, buhari focused more on IBB's regime as the turning points for nigeria's woes. he hardly talked about the present administration if not for the mention of the previous elections.
I wonder y the GEJ apologists are hell bent on lambasting buhari's person.
If GEJ was good enough, he'll be the voice representing africa. Sad enough we hardly hear him say anything worth quoting in future references.

I always say it and I would keep on saying it, Buhari is one of the persons that plunged nigeria into this state of doom we are in today. He took part in a coup which in itself is a big crime. What did he achieve in office apart from war against undisciplined? Flogging and beating nigerians. at least one can point out the things that IBB did but Buhari, can't find any. we all know GEJ is bad but if Buhari is the only alternative, then Johnathan till 2019. Buhari doesn't have the moral justification to criticize Johnathan. Nigeria doesn't need an Islamic Extremist as president

What are u even talking about? Did u mention anything about Buhari winning any election, did he himself even made mention of such? Did u Infact read his speech? He made mention of electoral malpractices. It's left for u to point out from his speech where u think he wasn't being truthful.

Secondly, ur opinion about him is noted however I disagree. He isn't such a man. U are mistaking a principled man for those that stand for nothing. Buhari is no such. Deal with that.

Indeed I did read his speech and states in very clear terms that all the elections that he has contested 2003, 2007 and 2011 were not free and fair. If he knows for sure that he did not win the 2011 election why dose he keep going on about the issue in the SS/SE. Recently in the US a woman in Ohio confessed to voting multiple times for Obama,did that make Romeny come out and start making noise? My point here is that even if the 2011 election was not perfect, Buhari LOST THAT ELECTION so he should stop making reference to it.

Now as to you claim that he is a principled man. Sorry but I need to counter that.

1: Dose a principled man serve in Sani Abacha's govt while people are being killed and detained?

2: Dose a principled man keep quite when young youth coppers are cut to death by his own supporters?

3: Dose a principled man run to known crooks like Babangida on the eve of an election to get them to try and broker a pack with the ACN?

4: How come this principled man has never said ONE NEGATIVE world about the Abacha administration?

5: How come this principled man has never come out to clearly condem Boko Haram?

6: How come this principled man enjoined Muslims to only vote for Muslims?

I am sorry but Buhari is no saint and most certainly not a principled man.

And why should he stop making reference to it. The wise always learn from the past. What happened in SS/ se was a fact and should be made mentioned of as much as possible. Comparing a woman in US to series of irregularities here is not appropriate. Besides US always learn from their mistakes but here we don't and that explains why it should be repeated as much as possible.

If he lost clearly without all these delibrate attrocities, probably yes but a man that was robbed don't keep quiet. I believe he should continue because Nigerians are highly forgetful.

I am sorry but Buhari is no saint and most certainly not a principled man.

[b]1) yes, so many principled men work with abacha govt that includes civil servants also. As long as u don't partake in any rot and making ur impact felt to the people, its in order. Buhari did that and ptf legacy still stands till date.

2) no, a principled man don't. Surely buhari is principled and that explains why he condemned such acts. He went further to challenge the govt to bring perpetrators to book and chastised the govt who haven't done anything about it despite being empowered.

3) don't distort fact. Buhari visited minna/Ibb but not for the reason of making a pact with ACN to work. What is ibbs business in ACN. He is in the killer party. Ur insinuation is just a figment of ur imagination. Because u TOT that was what happened doesn't mean it surely happened. Get real dude. Besides if ur epitome of principle(retardeen) who regards Ibb as his father can honour him, why not buhari who just decides to visit. Surely the man is principled.

4) that is the only thing I have against him. He probably knows something u and I don't. Besides this only issue of mine against him doesn't suggest to me that he is unprincipled.

5) u are wrong. A simple Google search will disprove this. Be even went further in suggesting to the govt ways to fight evil boko after explaining the various evil boko we have. His party explained that to all Nigerians.

6) he was misqouted and journalist took it out of context. There is no evidence to suggest that the general is a religious bigot.

I normally qoute my references with any long post but can't now because am mobile. If need be, will do it later.

Above all I agree that he is no saint however he is surely a principled man. A man of honour, worthy of emulation.

Is he telling us that the turn out in those northern states where he recorded more than a million votes and close to a million (as the case may be) only recorded 46% turn out. He's once again shown his aversion for the southern Nigeria, and he only needs to intensify his prayers for Nigeria to break up so that he can rule over his sect.

He did not say anything about monthly allocation. He was talking about number of senators. For example Ekiti state has 2.4 million people while Lagos has over 9 million people; however, both states have 3 senators representing despite the fact that Lagos has over 3 times more people than Ekiti. That is the point in simple English.

Pataki:

I don't live in Nigeria. I am from the South-West. The last experience I had from the South West was under the PDP administration. I am currently and independently reviewing the works which some of the State governments are doing under the new ACN administration. I just finished documenting that of Lagos State and I can say, I am impressed. Ogun State is undergoing massive urban renewal. Demolition of obsolete structures, expansion of roads, etc. I was truly glad that now you cannot just park your car anyhow in some part of the State without getting a parking ticket on your car. This has created employment for some.

I am heading to Ekiti next to review what they are doing there. But the honest truth is that, without a credible and intelligent corrupt free leader at the center, it would seem that any effort being undertaken at state or local level is a sheer waste of time.
Nice work Sir! May I also add that you need to see the transformation in Oyo state. Challenge, Mokola, Iwo Road, Agbeni-Ogunpa market etc that used to be a source of concern to the state due to illegal hawking, traffic congestion, criminal activities are now sights to behold. Truly ACN is working!
