but 'stealing is not corruption' Gej shuld? Nobody is calling Buhari a saint. So whatever dirt u fellas are able to dig up abt him wil be highly understandable. We aint luking an angel as President, jus some1 who wil apparently be in charge. Pronto!

Then look for someone that has what it takes.
We dont need a tyrant.

Buhari isnt a saint & Gej isnt an angel too now. Everybody makes mistake. If gej were 2 be a military regime, he wud do worse. Bringing d past 2 distort d future is senseless n meaningless. its still on record dat under buhari military regime Nigerians were more disciplined

We are not bringing the past to distort the future.
We are bringing the past to position the future.

After all, is it the reason of the past that Buhari s being forced down our throats?
Those of us who knew what happened are under the obligation to set the records straight.
Nigerians were not disciplined, they were only scared of death, becuase Buhari loved to kill.

It's easy to.spot those who want the norm to continue, bro take out time to do your own research on those claiming to be the best..

I have done my research and I am 100% certain that Buhari is better than those they are forcing down our throat be it on papers, tv or the radio.

Do your own research!

IN REALITY, IT IS THE PARTY IN POWER SINCE 1999 THAT HAS BEEN FORCING ITSELF DOWN NIGERIAN'S THROATS.

I AM VOTING FOR BUHARI. JUST IN ALL SINCERITY VOTE FOR WHO YOU WANT.

IF THEY ALLOW OUR VOTES TO COUNT, THE WINNERS WILL EMERGE WITH PEOPLE KNOWING IT IS THEIR RESULT.

They keep using threat and fear factors to pressure people into voting for their puppet who in turn allow the status quo to remain..

As long as PDP and Jonathan remain, nothing new is going to happen in this country.

You can't keep doing the same things over and over again, yet expecting different results. only fools do that..

When General Muhammadu Buhari came to power, there was wide corruption in the Second Republic. A decree was passed that nobody take out or bring in foreign currency into the country. Offenders are liable to 10years in Jail. This decree was to curb money laundering by politicians and corrupt businessmen.

FELA KUTI
Fela had performed abroad, he was paid in foreign currency in cash and had it on him on his return to Lagos. He was subsequently arrested for breaking the law and was prosecuted, found guilty and jailed.

PLEA:
There was a plea by human right groups to Head of State Buhari to "pardon" Fela, he refused because he believe that the law be served to the letter.

THE OFFENSE, GMB AND FELA:
First, there was an existing law/decree.

Secondly, Fela bringing in cash means it contradicts the law/decree, however, the money is from hard work.
Morally, he's justified! Legally, he is not.

Buhari had refused to grant pardon, because the law was broken. If he grants pardon, some section of politicians will accuse him of preferential treatment. He didn't because he believes in absolute discipline.
By law, he is justified. Morally, he is not, considering that it was Fela's sweat(my opinion). The law does not work with emotion unfortunately.

MY OPINION:
GMB should have pardoned Fela. The law should have made for exception. Buhari should have tampered justice with mercy
