When confronted with a bad situation, what should your response to it be? Moan over it in hope that it will have an abracadabra moment and change for the better or try and come up with solutions? Which will you do? chulla12: |

Asoozy:This is why some Nigerians are seen as only loud without brain. You think you have a point there when you don't. You expect me to point to an individual which is not going to make sense in this regard. The only way we can get that YOUNG individual is through a process in one of my previous post. It means you didn't read the post before replying. That is very bad. To be sincere with you I would rather have unknown youth than have Buhari as president. Buhari looks like somebody who is having Alzheimer condition though! |

all4naija: He looks like an Alzheimer's patient but Jonathan is a confirmed terminally ill patient ravaged with the corruption disease. If you don't want either of these two patients then you must be able to come up with at least one better alternative from your teaming population of virile youth but guess what, because your intention is to malign the only opposition to the status quo, you actually do not have any alternative rather you want to throw your toy out of your pram because you know that it is likely to no longer be business as usual. Your days are numbered. All you bad eggs are gonna cry! Funny you have been able to malign Buhari with corruption claims even though you cannot point is to any evidence or such. But you gbe not come out to say anything either good or otherwise about the current dispensation. You are a sorry case! 3 Likes |

Asoozy:What are you talking about? I can't make head of your post. Indeed, you seem to be systematically trying to force Buhari on us by doing that with prestidigitation. And, I can easily see your trick. You would bring Jonathan on the same level to claim both of them are not good for the people,as I couldn't point to a particular youth and for that reason Buhari must be accepted. What a way to go with Nigerian politic. I ask you a question before.Must it be about Buhari? Why no a new person we haven't seen on the popular Nigerian political arena? You keep repeating the same old recycled sh*t! I am not going entertain the notion to force Buhari on the people. That is what the party that grants him the presidential candidate right did. Nigeria's youths are doomed for not planning for the future by tackling it headon! Indeed, the young people of Nigeria can't compete on the same level or state with their counterparts from progressing nations. Most of the youths are seen as criminals in the first case due to the setting the past leaders had created in the past and has been pushing the citizens against the wall without any other option than to lead the same corrupt life.

all4naija: Ain't nobody got time for your gibberish. You vomited it, you gobble it back up. I am very averse to bullsh1t. In order to have an easy exit you quickly sum me up as wanting you to buy Buhari. Who cares who you vote for so long as you do so with clear conscience without coercion. I unlike you believe greatly in the enshrinement of fundamental human rights and one of those is the freedom of association. The difference between you and I is that I have pitcher my tent with the one I believe is capable of moving Nigeria forward but you, devoid of any candidate is maligning my own choice without you so much as telling us who you think will better serve the nation. I am partaking in the democratic process while you are just here to create discord without any profession of a way forward. The interesting thing about this whole debate is that while I loathe Jonathan with a passion, I still appreciate the fact that his supporters are coming out to say why they want to vote for him but you on the other hand while having maligned the general have not condemned the current administration. You are just throwing stones from your closet without stating publicly what or who you stand for. It is people like you that ought to be gotten rid of. Opposing a candidate simply on the basis age. Sick sick and it such a misfortune that you happen to be part if those who call themselves the Nigerian youth because with people like you in the majority the country is definitely doom bound. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The beauty of democracy is that there are opposing sides and their are choices for the electorate. Forcing a candidate in another is not democratic in nature and I abhor that practise. While I agree that you do not support the general excuse in your small mind he is too old, never minding that he has integrity and a proven track record, all I ask is for you to bring other choices to our notice. Who know? Maybe I'll actually agree with your choice and see that there can be an alternative but rather you will just chat sh1t with pût any real prospects. You are just here to frustrate the process you have nos fresh ideas. You are just a cantankerous human specie. At least I hope you're human. all4naija: |

debosky: Let me end on a light note with something I observed here on Nairaland and other social media; anytime Buhari’s name is mentioned I see PDP supporters and Jonathanians suddenly become special consultants/advisers for the oppositions on how to choose the best presidential candidate. They will suggest 'better' candidates, analyse how Buhari is unelectable and how Buhari’s candidacy means easy passage for Jonathan. But IMO, I think they are afraid of Buhari. If they are sure Buhari is a walk-over for Jonathan, they will be encouraging the opposition to field him rather than advising them to choose another. Oga read the quote again. We never finish talk, what we said is happening (A ti ko ifa nle, ifa ti n se). |

ba7man: My brother, there was no transformation. Scams disguised as "transformation" is all that the ultra-corrupt GEJ, highly profligate and ridiculously materialistic GEJ is capable of delivering. The power sector "privatisation" is crony capitalism in reality. This is all an anti-people and materialistic pro-elite leader like GEJ is capable of delivering. GEJ, unlike Buhari, is not a friend or servant of ordinary Nigerians. He hates them. He is a pal of criminals, militants, AGIPs, cabals, "those who carry guns" (Rev.Ugolor) and the ruinous hands that have destroyed Nigeria over decades. His actions/inaction shows a firm commitment to helping those enemies of progress loot Nigeria continuously. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony_capitalism Crony capitalism is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of state interventionism 3 Likes |

Demdem: There are numerous other candidates in the APC - the key is for the party (including Buhari) to rally round and raise votes for whoever the party selects as its flag bearer. This thread isn't about floating other potential candidates. That's the main problem many of you fail to grasp - you think an individual's vote pulling ability is the key to winning. Despite Buhari's personal popularity he has lost each and every election he has contested. That should give you food for thought. The PDP doesn't win elections because of it's candidates' overwhelming popularity, they win because they can mobilise the electorate across the country not just in certain corners of the North. That is what any serious APC candidate will need to do. 1 Like |

We are all here for the betterment of this country. If someone brings a candidate and you feel is not good enough for the position, reject him with reasons and suggest who you think will do better. You don't need to abuse others to drive your points. Let's leave sentiments and tribalism outta this because those two things have been with us for long and they don't seem to take us anywhere. IMO, If it is two brothers irrespective of where they come from that can take us to the promise land I will gladly vote for them. |

Re: My Take On Buhari’s 2015 Presidential Ambition - OAM4J by Gbawe: 7:16am On Oct 17, 2014 |
debosky: It is obvious you have a problem with Buhari and are simply doing all that is possible to make the crime fit the man but the part in bold is clearly ridiculous and patronising of the intelligence of Nairalanders. Do you know the conditions Buhari contested under in the past and the real state of of affairs then? Are things the same today? So as we do not draw this out too long, can I ask if you know what obtains in many nations of the world with two very strong political Parties competing against each other always like the USA, UK and even Ghana next door to us? Power tends to swing easily between those two Parties when the electorate is dissatisfied with the performance of the ruling Party. When, since Buhari has been contesting and losing elections, has Nigeria had two very strong Parties competing against each other? Has it not been the big-for-nothing PDP monopolising power and rigging elections since 1999 because other Parties were simply too little, too poor, too disunited and inconsequential to give them a proper fight? Dude, when you do not even recognise the ultra-pivotal point I have made above for yourself, and continue only to focus on Buhari's past election losses in total disregard for how the political climate of Nigeria is vastly different today to what it was even in 2011, then I do not think anyone needs to give you even more salient reason (and there are many) why the Buhari who lost elections in the past is now the same man capable of securing a landslide victory against the PDP. Your bias against Buhari is the sort that clouds objective reasoning and ignores/disregards reality. Buhari's vote-winning ability is indeed key if managed properly by an opposition Party that is now vastly more powerful, more influential and a great deal more sagacious than anything else Nigeria has had in the past since our current democracy began in 1999. 3 Likes |
