We are relieved not to have a vote in this election. But were we offered one we would—with a heavy heart—choose Mr Buhari. Mr Jonathan risks presiding over Nigeria’s bloody fragmentation. If Mr Buhari can save Nigeria, history might even be kind to him.

Looking at the bigger picture; a Buhari Presidency may end up being a prescription that would produce more grievous ailments:
The Niger Delta and other parts of Nigeria would simply become the new theatre of strife, as is expected, while Buhari can manage the visible BH menace, he would by the same token be in a disadvantaged position to manage the latent but ever-present Niger Delta Militancy.
If Gen Buhari is elected President, successfully appeasing or gaining Boko Haram complimentary cessation of activities could be possible (though the chances are very narrow)
On the other hand, a Buhari President, all things being equal, could have grievous implications for Nigeria; there is a very high probability of a resurgence of hostilities by Niger Delta Militants
The terrible edge the Niger Delta militants have is that they hold Energy Resources and the Economy as tools of bargain………..very important tools needed to finance a war, gain sympathy and international friends and alliances!

ibson99:
you are pathetic, your clueless president a few days ago while trying to condemn Soludo said 'no Nigerian economist can ever be better than the CNN, IMF, world bank and the international media' . He cluelessly made this statement when CNN said Nigeria has the third fastest growing economy in the world, now ate you telling us same international media is no longer perfect? The economist did their homework and found out that Nigerias economy is growing despite GEJ not because of his corrupt and clueless transformation that if anything is sucking the economy dry. Accept the reality dude

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE
PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS, NOT FOREIGN OPINION WRITERS WILL RE-ELECT PRESIDENT JONATHAN
We have noted with surprise, The Economist’s tongue-in-cheek endorsement of General Muhammadu Buhari in the run-up to Nigeria’s general elections and the international magazine’s baseless, jaundiced and rather malicious vilification of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan who retains the trust and confidence of majority of Nigerians as the outcome of the Presidential elections will undoubtedly show.
We are sure that many Nigerians and other readers of the usually urbane, thoughtful and well-reasoned editorial opinions of the Economist will be shocked that the magazine has taken the very ill-considered decision to throw its weight behind a candidate who, ...........

And then we would see how the 54 trillion naira budget will be funded.
Some people will jump in to say that Lagos has managed fine,without FG oil money.This view point is based on the popular LIE but urban legend all the same that claims that Obassonjo witheld Lagos allocations for just about two and a half years (they claim three and half) and Lagos did not falter but increased its internal revenue.The TRUTH is that only the Local government funds were withheld.Also additional revenue came from business that service the nexus center of the oil industry.
Like it our die there is a thread running through those companies in. Lekki,Ikoyi,VI,Ikeja,ETC and the oil industry.
Deny that fact all you want it still doesn't change it.
Run a hypothetical scenario where oil exports drop to ten percent of current value and tell me what the long term prospects will be for business tied by oil money and consequently Lagos as a whole.
