Missonas: How you came to that assumption would forever remain a mystery to me... I have never said Buhari would be better than GEJ as president, but then again we wouldn't know unless we try. Going by how low GEJ has set the bar, Buhari would actually have to work hard to be worse than Jonathan.. GEJ curently wields power, Infact he had the very rare chance of an additional 2 years to his mandated 4 and he has shown that he isn't capable of delivering. Bare in mind that if we add another 2 years to his current stay, he would have been in power for the duration of two terms... No thank you. All we want is change..nit does not matter who.. Like I said, we will keep changing things until we find the right fix.. I and millions of other Nigerians who gave GEJ a chance to fail us are now about to give Buhari that same chance with our fingers crossed.. Geddit?! 2 Likes |

hotwax: Obasanjo that cannot win the polling booth in front of his house. Look and look, goodluck jonathan is a foolishh president. If not that he does not perform well that's why he resulted in this situation, if he had performed well, people would have been asking him to perform more miracle for the country. I don't want him to be reelected back. |

chymystique: Oga Buhari will prove to be a better crumb if given the chance. We have to make do with what we have now. Every well thinking Nigerian now wished they never voted for GEJ. Beside our economic woes and teething corruption which now knows no boundary, you would have wished you were not a Nigerian if you had happened be among the refugees now displaced in the north east. GEJ has no desire to fight gboko haram. Our rickety military can still deal a fatal blow to those miscreants but GEJ is not showing enough willingness. |

GEJ has no desire to fight gboko haram. Our rickety military can still deal a fatal blow to those miscreants but GEJ is not showing enough willingness. This is the reason why America, the rest of the west and those that initially showed enthusiasm to help us find the chibok girls withdrew from the project all together. They saw the lack of seriousness in Abuja. it pains me that we Nigerians often times allow our emotions and petty sentiments to dictate our thoughts. We need this change to keep Nigeria alive and then we can start thinking of young and better refined leaders. I assure you that another year with GEJ as president will further plunge our dear country into darkness. The guy is confused and his ministers and supporters seem to lack the will power too to help stair the ship out of the storm. |

MadCow1:This is what most are missing. This election is not about Buhari or Jonathan. Its about showing the rulers that they are accountable to the people. If Buhari does not perform, we throw him out and put another person there. That is democracy. |

GetUmad: Its just a matter of courtesy and so that some southwesterners will not say he did not respect their baba not that his support is of any electoral value. Obasanjo has never won any election without rigging. Part of the reasons he is not happy with GEJ is that he conducted free and fair elections that saw his favourates including his daughter and his governoshipcandidate in Ogun state lose election. So what electoral value will he bring when elections are now conducted devoid of rigging. I even see him not coming out to vote making his one vote irrelevant. 1 Like |

Questions from Obj at the mother of all meetings with Jonathan witnessed by Papa Adeboye and Bishop Oyedepo. Matters arising: Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (1) Did u agree to run for only one term or not? (2) What did u tell me was ur reason for not going after Boko haram insurgents even when I told u this will boomerang? (3) What happened to the Nigeria's external reserve and sovereign wealth fund? (4) Did u give licence to Niger Delta Militants (Dokubo and Toompolo) to import arms in the name of their privately owned companies? If so, for what reason? (5) Did you not get correspondence from the United States consulate that a certain citizen named Buruji Kashamu is indicted for Drug trafficking? Why did u appoint the same Kashamu as South West leader of PDP rather than hand him over to the US? And did the PDP give automatic senate ticket to a wanted and convicted drug baron?

[quote author=paulo007 post=29772708][/quote] Hmmm, we all know that the Nation newspaper is owned by Tinubu and they only print in favour of its owner. So my take on this is that, don't believe everything you read besides, if nobody disclosed what transpired in the meeting, how the hell did they get the info. Anyway, I am on the fence wen it comes to politics. |

Imagine you have a girl friend of at least two years. You have been together for that long but whenever you want to share some intimate moments with her you have to go through the process you went through before she agreed to be your sweetheart in the first place. You have to tell her all the sweet stories all over again and do everything possible to have her consent. Not that you are stupid or something but that's who she is. she has short memory span. She behave this way because the "love doctor" said she's suffering from dementia(not real dementia but "love dementia". She has memory loss. What pains lover-boy has to go through all the time. Nevertheless, I salute his courage. The bitter truth is that many Nigerians are like this sweet girl but with a faulty memory. For about six years GEJ has been president of this country we have gone from bad to worse. The situation is only getting worse. We voted for him because "he had a humble beginning" but this man has proved not to be a humble man. He has surrounded himself with thieves. GEJ has never had the courage to punish any offender within his cabinet. From the subsidy scandal to NNPC massive corruption to ineffectiveness in the top cadre of our military, mr president is clueless. He keeps preaching about good behavior and how he will make Nigeria better if re-elected. Under his watch our foreign reserve and the excess crude account have been depleted with only spurious explanations and defense offered by minister of finance and chairman of the economy, madam Okonjo. Oil was consistently at above $100 per barrel since he became president. What do we have to show for it? How much is still the pump price of PMS since the price of crude oil started the free fall? In countries where the citizens have memories and foresight, a man like GEJ would not spend more than two years in office. We say we are educated but simple decisions like exercising your electoral or civil right is so difficult for us to do. We can't even engage in civil disobedience against corrupt leaders, be they politicians or men of God. We sheepishly swallow every rubbish that's thrown at us. I have never seen a more docile people like us. We are all asleep, and we may die in our sleep if we fail to wake up now. 2 Likes |

[quote author=paulo007 post=29772708][/quote] And Jonathan replies OBJ thus; Yes, I indeed promised to spend a term as the president but as a result of exigencies precipitated by the north using Boko haram to undermine my laudable agenda, there's a pressing need to seek second term in order to consolidate on ongoing transformation projects. 2. The foreign reserve depletion was brought about by negative oil price variations, a global phenomenon that cut across all oil-dependent countries. 3. I have not committed any sin for opting to further serve my dear nation, after all, your Excellency attempted to change the constitution for a third term tenure elongation. 4. If breaking a promise to serve one term is one of your grouses, then extend your advice to Buhari for him to step down since he too cry-promised not to contest for presidency again. 5. The North has ruled Nigeria for 40 wasted years, is it a crime if a Niger Deltan (the nation's food basket) decides to lead for paltry 8 years? 6. Your Excellency sir, when have you now become the numero uno who determines who becomes Nigerian president? 7. Buruji Kasamu in the eyes of the law is still a suspect having not been convicted by any court both locally and internationally, why should his fundamental human right be breached in the name of political considerations? The leader of APC, Bola Tinubu has also not been completely cleared of a US drug peddling case in the nineties. 8. Sir, have you forgotten that you took part in a coup and attempted to topple Abacha's govt, convicted and escaped death by the whiskers but later pardoned? If you had been given Buruji Kasamu's treatment, would you have become prison-to-president personality in the anals of our history? 9. With regards to Boko haram sir, I chose to adopt carrot and stick approach instead of killing innocent Nigerians the way you did in Odi, Bayelsa State so as not to be accused of committing genocide. Have you forgotten the number of innocent lives lost when Ya'adua asked the military to invade Gbaramatu also in Bayelsa? Even when I decided to lunch full-scale onslaught, Buhari, Hell Rufai and notable northern elders accused me of "killing the north". I am sure you understand the complexity of Nigeria as a nation.The decision to adopt civility approach should not however be taken as weakness on my part. 10. And finally Sir, kindly appeal to your masters in the north to sheath their swords and allow my govt to have peace so that they can be accorded the same gestures when they take over governance in 2019. One good turns deserves another. Thank you your Excellency. GEJ. |
