Truth About Buhari?? by 190: 1:41am On Jan 03, 2015
Beware of Buhari, Fasehun warns Nigerians

National Chairman of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, has faulted claims in some quarters that the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, is the Messiah Nigerians have been waiting for.

At a press conference yesterday in Lagos, Fasheun described the assertions as turning truth and logic on its head. He said for the avoidance of doubt, Gen. Buhari is not Nigeria’s saviour because under his “holier-than-thou” facade lurks a smelly throat of evil. Nigeria Map

Fasehun, who founded the Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, recalled that when Buhari lost the 2011 presidential poll, he took up arms against democracy by fuelling insurgency and terrorism.

According to him, Buhari and his supporters then swor to make Nigeria ungovernable should President Goodluck Jonathan win the election, stressing that, “as the immediate fallout of this threat, National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members who officiated in the polls became the target of attacks, with many of these innocent young Nigerians slain in cold blood by Buhari’s supporters. Not done, he took insurgency to a new height, blindly driving Nigeria into the deadly attack of the terrorist group, Boko Haram.

“Instead of standing for election, Gen. Buhari should in fact be standing trial before the International Court of Justice, ICJ for crimes against humanity over the killing of thousands of Nigerians in the ongoing insurgency and terrorism instigated by him and his supporters.

“What economic credentials can Buhari flaunt today? What industry has he engaged in since he retired from the Army 29 years ago, to show that he has a hands-on experience to manage men and enterprises? Even in politics, his most visible pastime, what amount of success has he recorded? When he twice failed to win the presidency through the All Nigeria People’s Party, ANPP, he abandoned the party and founded the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, where he failed to win the election again. Thereafter, he co-founded the All Progressives Congress APC, on which platform he will attempt election again this year.

“He has unsuccessfully contested the presidency three times already and failed in 2003, 2007 and 2011. He failed against fellow retired Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo from the South-West, against Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua a Northerner like him, and against Dr. Goodluck Jonathan from the South-South.

“His hypocrisy was recently demonstrated and exposed at the National Convention of the APC. Feigning incorruptibility, he willingly became a beneficiary of the bribe that his supporters, APC governors and businessmen, doled out to delegates to secure his victory,” Fasehun said.

He also recalled that when Buhari served as Petroleum Minister, the N2.8 billion fraud broke out, signifying a new height in corruption in the country.

“This was a man who served as chairman of the Petroleum Task Force, PTF under the late Gen. Sani Abacha and pretends he made no money. Let him render account for his PTF years.

“We challenge Buhari to declare the true state of his health. What ailment is he nursing in his vital organs? To prevent history from repeating itself, to the frustration of his zone, his kinsmen and indeed all Nigerians should ask this General to subject himself to an independent medical assessment.

“Have Nigerians forgotten that in 1983 Gen. Buhari overthrew the democratically-elected government under President Shehu Shagari, and unduly dissolved all political parties and democratic structures? Nigeria has never recovered from that brazen military intervention.

“No doubt, Gen. Buhari is a man of history. Dr. Jonathan is a man of history too. But on which part of history do these two personalities stand? It has nothing to do with the calling and profession of these two men, one being an academic, a Doctorate Degree holder and a lecturer in a tertiary institution; the other, a retired General and former Military Head of State, who seized power through a military coup in 1983.

“But obviously, as there are worthless scholars so there are wicked Generals; and noble Generals abound in the barracks even as excellent academics flock the ivory tower. But each man chooses his own path, and the cloak does not make the monk.”

He opined that on the other hand, the retired General has encouraged his followers to mix the ballot papers with the blood of dogs and baboons, adding that Buhari’s exact words are: “If what happened in 2011 should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood.’’ That is an outrageous signpost to violence, insurgency and terrorism, a road this country no longer wishes to travel ever again.

“He has said he would stop Boko Haram if he becomes President. Of course, Gen. Buhari can make that boast because he originally set Boko Haram in motion.

“Today, Nigeria staggers under a weight of insurgency and terrorism that is very alien to our ethnic and national character. And we have some do-or-die politicians to thank for this. Insurgency and terrorism descended on Nigerians in the wake of the 2011 elections, after politicians of a particular coloration swore to make the country “ungovernable” should they lose the polls.

“When Nigerians massively rejected these politicians at the polls, these bad losers made good their threats and unleashed the dogs of war through the North-Eastern part of the country. Since then, Nigeria has become one massive killing field with an internally-displaced population of over 3 million. Shall we cow before those who have brought this tragic and catastrophic atmosphere upon us and reward them with the presidency?

“We must remember, a nation that turns its back on its history will never see development. Having weighed all this, UPN has decided to speak up for democracy -democracy without coercion. This is because Nigeria is not the patrimony of any single individual, and no single person can hold the entire nation to ransom.

“UPN assures our northern brothers that Nigerians will rally round a worthy, capable and nationalistic politician from the North when the time comes for power to rotate back to the North,” he said.

1. All this series of smear campaign, using REHASHED OLD LIES, can ONLY woo even more supporters for the people's general, thanks to the WOEFUL FAILURE of the Clueless-In-Chief you support!.

2. MANY Nigerians, southerners and northerners, Christians and Muslims, who voted for GEJ in 2011 are TODAY so disappointed with his performance that they regret ever voting for him because of his UTTER CLUELESSNESS AND INCOMPETENCE, as a result of which all their HOPES for a better Nigeria were dashed.

3. With regard to corruption, the corrupt cabal has NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD, AND SO EASY! Most of them must have even forgotten what 'EFCC' stands for, simply because the current oga at the top DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN!

4. And even as hundreds of innocent Nigerians, men, women and children, Muslims and Christians, are getting killed, maimed and displaced by the BH savages, our Clueless-In-Chief DOES SEEM NOT GIVE A DAMN about it either.

5. Yet when it came to anything to do with his re-election, that is when we would all see him displaying AMAZING commitment, passion and focus, promptly and effectively mobilizing ALL GOVERNMENT RESOURCES and SECURITY PERSONNEL either to ensure his smooth campaigns or to scuttle the campaigns of his opponents. That is why people see him not only as clueless, but also as a self-centred person!

6. And that is why all those who are so desperately trying to sell his re-election bid, like the OP, find it more and more frustratingly difficult to find enough concrete achievements on which they can sell his re-election.

7. The only thing the supporters of the incompetent president have is to try to paint Buhari black enough, and unfortunately for you guys, Nigerians are not buy that crap and they are not ready to gamble on such a PROVEN FAILURE for another four years.

8. As GEJ supporters must have realized by now, it really sucks to support a FAILURE!

We are not with Buhari’s original copies of certificates — Army

By Kingsley Omonobi, Abuja
Few days after the former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari, retd, explained in an affidavit submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that all his academic credentials were with the Military Board, the Army have stated that they do not keep the certificates of any serving or retired officer or soldier.

Buhari: Our situation must change!
General Buhari is contesting the presidential election for the fourth time under different political parties including the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party, ANPP and the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, but the issue of his qualifications had never been controversial until the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, recently described him as a ‘’semi- illiterate.’’
However, against the backdrop of Buhari’s affidavit in court, a military source said ‘’that the Army can not keep anybody’s original certificate because it is the personal property of the owner,’’ adding that such original certificates were only needed at the point of entry into the service.
According to the source, the Military only kept photocopies of credentials of officers and soldiers in their personal files that were in the military secretary’s office.
“The original certificate of any officer or soldier is only needed at the point of entry into the service either as a cadet officer entering the Nigerian Defence Academy, or the recruitment officers when interviewing recruits to be sent to the depot for training. That is so, because they are needed to verify what were in the photocopies supplied by them or from the necessary examining bodies.”
The source further stated that anybody claiming that his original certificates were with the Military Secretary (Army), had ‘’ulterior motive(s) or something he or she cannot explain.’’
He further added, “Let me tell you now, in the Navy, the Navy Secretary, NAVSEC, keep the documents of all Naval officers and ratings and not their original certificates which are their personal property.

Re: Truth About Buhari?? by Nobody: 12:01pm On Jan 03, 2015
Someone posted this on facebook

WHAT KIND OF ECONOMY ARE WE REALLY RUNNING IN NIGERIA? I was in shock when I went to the filling station in Omaha, Nebraska USA yesterday and noticed that the price of fuel has actually dropped by 50% in the last 6 months when I finished topping the gas. This consistent drop in price is in direct relation to dropping oil prices worldwide. SO THE QUESTION FOR NIGERIA - How come our Petrol prices have NOT dropped a dime though price of oil keeps dropping everywhere? Instead the so-called smart politicians are actually talking about INCREASING price of fuel? Exactly what kind of ECONOMY are we running in NIgeria htat does NOT respond to supply and demand? Is it CAPITLISM?; SOCIALISM? CABALISM? KLEPTOKISM? or GOODLUCKISM?

please DONT tell me we import fuel from abroad is thee reason. The PRICE WE BUY IT FROM WHEREVER WE BUY IT FROM HAS DROPPED BY ALMOST 50% SINCE JUNE LAST YEAR and yet we still pay the same?


Why hasn't our own fuel price reduced?
