confirmed now.

Even if Tunde Bakare/Buhari dont win, we will still believe in the change they want. Enough of looters stealing our money. For those that believe Men of God are to stay in the church, you have read your bible wrong. A large percentage of men that made huge impact in the bible are not confined to the church. talk of moses, daniel, david, abraham. they were all leaders and not preachers. I have listened to Bakare's messages about Nigeria and there was not one time that I heard him say God told him to run for office but his passion for his nation is what pushes him and I will support such a man. A man that stand up for all and not just sit and collect people offering and live large on it without talking for once on the state of our nation. I SUPPORT BAKARE

My Brother, i feel you too, I support Bakare should he decide to run for VP with Buhari as President. We need more men of God like him - fearless and passionate about Nigeria (similar to Martin Luther King jnr). With people like Pst. Tunde at the helm of our nations affairs; there is hope for positive change. I believe when the righteous reigns, the people rejoices,

Fellow Nigerians,
Life is bigger than a country and Nigeria is bigger than Nigerians.
Everyday we wake up to how things have gone wrong in this country, how we have eaten from crumbs in the midst of plenty but no-one bothered to ask, How did we get into this mess? And what is the way out?

The likes of JAKUMO, JOHN DOE2000 et al may be speaking from outside the shores of this country without realizing how much we Nigerians (at home) have suffered in the hands of corruption.
I really don’t blame you guys who think you have escaped the glitches of the motherland and seat behind your PC and spew arrogant ethnic influenced support for someone that is as black as hell.

Oga john doe2000,I can still remember vividly the argument we had over MEND, but I believed that the exposition of that day will either sway you or blind you. But I made you a promise that they will crumble like a pack of cards in less than 8months of amnesty
I decided not to be generous with my time frame cos I knew doom was imminent. The last time I was in the creek the so called strong men were all clamouring over when “Govt Alawi will show” boys don loyal lol the ones I saw in brass,krakamar and yenezege were singing the same song then I said to myself;
“Wish Thomas john doe2000 was here to witness for himself” The few ones that feel cheated in the program have “baptized” themselves into nonexistent clandestine groups, the desperate ones that swore allegiance to keep the heritage of mend alive now claim erstwhile terrorist attacks from God knows where.
JOHN DOE2000 and JAKUMO I seriously don’t blame you guys because you guys seem not to see things from the average Nigerian point of view.

Look at what we have lost so far, there was a post where I made it categorically clear that GEJ shouldn’t contest for the presidency because he thinks he has seen an opportunity. Yes!! the opportunity may come only once, it may be a landmark but in the interest of the country it is a wrong move.
He could have set up a credible electoral process and sit back and watch how Ribadu,Gen Buhari and any lout PDP comes up with to slug it out.

The foundation of GEJ’s administration is built on those charlatans we want to get rid of as such he can’t be any different, I don’t know why John doe2000 cannot apply common sense.
John doe2000, let me tell you in summary what corruption as orchestrated by PDP has done to us.
start from the formation of the party PDP, it was those same cabals and political never do well from the army and some civilian errand boys, who dream everyday of being a shareholder in that “company” Nigeria. So, can we come today and think that a stooge like Jonathan can do any better?

John doe2000 did u recall when OBJ was parading the CV of Yaradua, how he was a graduate, how he was not corrupt amongst other governors blah blah blah. I made someone a promise that if OBJ installs Yaradua, his administration will never probe him. today here we are and in our presence he wants to install another GEJ and we sit and answer yes sir!!! Are we that blind?
Who does OBJ think he is? The father of Nigeria? The Owner of west Africa?

I felt bad when Atiku lost that primaries that night because he was close to bringing down that Mad man before his political rascality took him to Abyss, as much as Atiku’s administration will destroy OBJ and cronies I have the fear that it will install another breed of politicians that will forever manacle the nation, in other words, as much as I regretted his loss I still don’t want him there in the interest of this country.

Mr John doe2000 it is clear that you and Jakumo do not know why there is no job in the country, now let me tell you, there are jobs everywhere in the country, there are people that play truancy on other peoples dream jobs because of corruption. Job postings and interviews are never by merit, that is corruption.

Nigeria has been made a laughing stock in the sporting Arena, courtesy of corruption. People from dungeon wake up to wear that green white green jersey only to ridicule the nation and leave a plethora of Nigerians heartbroken simply because there is no credible process of choosing the best of the best, that is corruption.

Mr John doe2000 have you not heard that members of the National Assembly send letters to Vice Chancellors to admit their wards in federal higher institutions? Imagine the kind of graduates our academic system produces with such “executive influence”, bunch of sanguinary charlatans, now, that is corruption. The Educational system decayed in our very eyes.

Mr John doe2000, Gani Fahwemis’ son had an unfortunate accident and could not receive any intensive treatment in the country when billions have passed through the Ministry of health, Now, that is corruption and our health system remains a night mare that late president Yaradua disappeared to Saudi (even when Saudi elites go to Europe for treatment) Now tell me, what facility did
Late president Yaradua and Late Stella Obasanjo use in Saudi and Spain respectively that the Nigerian Government couldn’t afford? But do we have them? Lest I forget stella went for “Liposuction” which cannot be graded under the canopy of a major surgery,Now that is corruption that our health sector remains in a sorry state.

Mr John doe2000, Do you watch Tv lately and see people begging for as low as a million naira to fix a brain tumor in India or its like? Realistically speaking, an honest health insurance scheme from a responsible Govt wont have a problem taking care of such ailments for a person above 25yrs. Today, they die in our very eyes that is how far corruption has taken our liberty of good health.

Mr Jakumo, In 2009, the federal road safety commission attributed motor accidents that led to as much as over 400 fatality to “reckless driving”. I didn’t want to believe that either because the only things I see with them are combat pants where they starch in bribe bills, without a speed Gun and a Ford Ranger ready to pursuit whoever defaults their price tag, I wonder where the statistics came from? The sorry state of the Roads I believe must have contributed more than what disgruntled road safety fabricated ,Now that is corruption, and all glory goes to Ministry of works. Lest I forget, the Almighty FRSC issue driving license in Absentia for a fee. lol

Mr Jakumo and John doe2000, His excellency emeritus Peter Odili built a power turbine of less than 500MW with over 6 billion dollars, today, even the street (Trans Amadi) where the turbine is situated is still living in darkness, that is corruption of the highest order and no Administration is asking questions, this is the same corruption that romanced the NIPP contract of over 16bn dollars and Olusegun obasanjo is not yet in Jail.

I put it to Jakumo that after cleaning the gutters of Europe, you will need a Native doctor escort to walk freely in the streets of lagos because the PDP you are supporting have failed to guarantee adequate security for its citizenry.

Mr john doe2000, the bamboozling term “Privatization and concessioning” as championed by “Turaki of Atiku” today has metamorphosized to Indigenization of whichever sector where all the Govt investments went missing to the extent that disgruntled Lebanese were invited to manage our “presidential hotels” is the peak of corruption and today the word “Free trade zone” simply means OBJ and Atiku are in charge.

Is this the legacy we really want to leave for our children?

Oh!!! Jakumo, oh!!! john doe2000, don’t you go to the market to realize that 99.99% of the products therein are substandard and counterfeit. Funny enough, john doe2000 hasn’t heard of SON (Standard Organisation of Nigeria) in leons.

PDP has finished us in this country, the unborn child is weeping waiting for the mother to do something.

I have personally written to mike okiro the then “Stupendous General” of police about an officer that was brutalizing a bus driver who refused to be extorted, I caught his picture and Name tag and included it in my petition, till this day, the Animal still patrols my neighborhood with smiles of “to serve and protect with integrity” this is corruption.
Nobody is held accountable for anything and the country continues decaying.

Unfortunately, this is where PDP has left our sorry A.rse.

John doe2000, what do you think this nation need?

“A REVOLUTION” if you ask me.

We are finished with PDP and what they can offer us, rightly put, we are living at their mercy

You seriously want us to think that Gen. buhari is not fit for Aso rock on the grounds of religious Bigotry? Your level of brain gay has Gone beyond tablets. Your insinuation is likened to saying a Christian will deny born agianism lol

Your arguments sound like the Grammatical jargons that Paint Jakumo a patriot where for all intents and purposes we all know his loyalty lies with the British after running away from the motherland his PDP has made so miserable, picking the crumbs from the white man’s gutters enjoys freebies from a sincere democracy, and perhaps managed to exist in a revolutionized economy as a foreign lout pleading for asylum in the land of morality, once again, I spit on your ideology and curse your grave,

Buhari is a moslem as such supports the tenants of islam, does he have the intentions of imposing it on the entire nation is the bone of contention, I advise you focus on it.

In my village, in eastern Nigeria, Far away from Buhari’s ethnic root and religious preponderance, speculation had it that PTF was a United nations initiative to salvage Nigeria from the hands of Abacha’s Tyranny, other Anecdotes equally thought that we were running two governments, the one on NTA and a phantom one that manifests itself in robust projects and applaudable infrastructures.

John doe2000 and Jakumo, u guys want to place Ordinary GEJ on the same scale as Buhari, what a misconception!!!!

Does GEJ have a political agenda? What is the foundation of his political career? let alone an Economic one? He managed to watch over Bayelsa while Alams goes robbery and somehow managed to take over the mantle of leadership when the Alams gang dropped him. Is that what Myopic john doe2000 and Blind Jakumo call a political career?

He was so inept to seize the Mantle of leadership through the death of Yaradua, not until David mark and Obasanjo woke him up. Good luck Ebele Jonathan belongs to the classroom not in aso rock.

Does he have the will to fight corruption? when he is the grandson of obasanjo as ordained by Anenih and endorsed by David Mark?
Let me ask you john doe2000, is it what Nigeria really needs?

You referred to Buhari as a coup plotter, yes he is and that is what PDP needs, PDP and its cronies will never be pampered out of office and a man that has nursed that temerity in the past is capable of sweeping them completely off our system, do you have problems with that?

I do not care if you wish to exercise your franchise on a God forsaken PDP, but I tell you this day, if what you write on this forum sways one soul to have a change of heart to vote PDP in this coming election, the soul of every child that dies in our Hospital of dilapidated infrastructure shall hunt your family to eternity, for every soul lost on road accidents borne out of pot holes, their blood will reign death on you and your families.
For every graduate that remains unemployed in this country may their cries visit your sources of livelihood

The spirit of Nigeria bleed and wail for the right thing to be done in this country and here you are blackmailing and hoodwinking people to tow your part, the soil for which Jakumo and john doe2000 stand shall curse the destiny of your Generations for the fruit of evil shall you reap.

I advise you guys, if you want to support a failed party please do it quietly and never embroil people to join your flock.

We have suffered enough in the hands of PDP and what it has to offer.
Definitely, the election will be rigged as usual, (buhari may loose God forbid) but even the unborn child knows that buhari is the man for the job,I will beat my chest and tell my child that at the wake of PDP madness I voted for change through Buhari, he will continue having our vote and support wherever he is for he is a man that stood out amongst Men.
He is a man that will stand before his creator and receive a handshake for how well he lived his life.

Unfortunately, PDP has set modalities to rig this election come April one of those modalities are
Mobilizing people to register en masse, they sponsor,lobby and coerce people with media influence, with lots of advertorials and sensitization campaigns on radio and TV to make people register including petty sanctions but it won’t end there.
After we have registered, INEC will apportion the majority of the votes to PDP and JONA will Emerge as the president.

Gen. Buhari I hope you have a counter strategy because I strongly believe that ordinary GEJ cant beat you in a credible election.

To protect our vote, you have to make sure that the INEC (of course selected by PDP) does not have monopoly of the Data base, that is the evidence that will win you in court.

Lastly, Use pressure groups to Sway Inec to provide sticky duplicate for voters cards such that when I vote, I don’t need to put in your Box but write that I voted for you and that should duplicate itself, the duplicate I take home while the card remains in the box, After the database has been manipulated and given to PDP, I believe your lawyer should be smart to ask people in just one constituency to bring their duplicates the discrepancy will be pretty obvious.
Unfortunantely, PDP have started rigging already why did they spend billions on the DC machine without a DATA BASE guess nobody thought of that.

About sharia, can john doe2000 and jakumo show me the strategy Buhari mapped out for the implementation of Sharia in the entire federation? Even an asinine looser knows you guys are peddling silly press error to cast aspersion on his political ambition.

Nevertheless, if we elect him and he runs Amok, then he will find himself in the same shoe as Gbagbo of ivory coast or any other tyrant that existed before him, right now corruption through PDP is priority one
Religious bigotry can be taken care of later.
Common sense tells me that if 4yrs of religious tyranny will oust corruption through PDP is the legacy I leave for my kids then so be it.

We are rock solid behind you, sometimes I wonder if you are a Nigerian, you really don’t have the blood.
BUHARI and BAKARE, I hail thee, goodluck!!!!!

@ cold

Summary execution is an abuse of human right at the same time, laws are not meant to pamper criminality, this is where the state of Texas disagrees with Washington.

Let me ask you, the Nigeria of today has a plethora of corrupt politicians yet the law itself has a clause of immunity for them, literary, one can’t be wrong by saying Nigeria is in anarchy.

A defiance of the law can be given a lot names including criminality the same criminality is what the constitution (the law) condones and that is where PDP is ruining us.

Not to worry honey, buhari and Bakare is coming with long a whip to do “washing and setting” for the constitution and for the politicians that feel they are untouchable, brother, Nigeria has gotten to a stage where absolute necessity demands whatever can be done to eradicate corruption.

^^^ wtf??

The people that condemns Bakare are those that never listened to him as he talks about his passion for Nigeria. I listen to some of his sermons and thats why I support him. He loves Nigeria so much that he is ready to put everything on the line-even his own reputation. For a chance i will vote for him. I personally dont think GEJ is the change we need. How has he proven himself to be different? I stand to be corrected

Reading through the comments here, I can't agree less with the ascertion that Nigerians deserve the type of government they get.

Reading through the comments here, I can't agree less with the ascertion that Nigerians deserve the type of government they get.

Mobinga:

^^^ wtf??

Exactly
I've never taken Bakare too seriously as a pastor,however,with this final misadventure,he's lost any iota of regard I had for him

Did anyone even notice the statement of Buharis Media Adviser "Bakare's decision will excite the polity". I make bold to say that is the best it can achieve, its a good combination, I have said Jonathans era will end the era of all the old corrupt politicians.

A lot of us passionate about this country are not really analysing the nation properly PDP is not the problem it is the absolute power the PDP enjoys, the 1999 PDP could not have gotten away the way the 2003 PDP got away with its actions.

What we need in 2011 is a not too strong President, a President from the PDP working with a senate president from the opposition, a chairman of the Gov forum from the opposition, then the people will actually wield their power, just like Obama would rely on the republicans sometimes to have his way against democrats that do not agree with his actions or plans that is the way the Nigerian president of 2011 and beyond should be.

If we sack PDP enmasse we would only end up creating another monster that can even claim the personality who engineered the process like Buhari and Bakare today.

This combination will give GEJ a run for the presidency but can never cost him the presidency because the kind of following Buhari has in the north, Jonathan has it in the Niger Delta, dont forget that this voters registration would also enable us know which part of the country has the population.

If we really want to be honest with our analysis, we would all agree that Jonathan is trying his best to ensure that the elections are credible fair and free to his best capability, the current registration would surely seve better to ensure a one man one vote, and Jonathan is letting all this because he can tell fairly that in a free and fair contest he stands a good chance of claiming the presidency no matter how many of his govs and senators fall off.

It was our frustration with the military and the rush to send them packing that produced the PDP of today, we should be careful because it is absolute power that corrupts absolutely, so the PDP problem has been that they control every arm of govt, they can all sit in a PDP NEC and decide what policy the whole nation would adopt, same with Lagos, the ACN can decide if Lagos should move forward or not, this kind of power is good when we have a benevolent leader but this power also has the capability to corrupt this benevolent leader.

I am interested in a Nigeria with two Nationally strong political powers where the members can never jump from either to the other, this is what will bring the balance and development we seek.

Competition is what is lacking not will to fight corruption, If PDP controls 18 states in the country and CPC controls 7, ACN controls 5, ANPP controls 4 and APGA controls 2 you would see that when all the opposition gather together all they need is to break into PDPs ranks of govs to influence decision, so if a minority in PDP stands in the interest of the nation can mobilize the opposition, that is the beauty of democracy if the National Assembly has 50% PDP members and all the opposition share 50% they could even frustrate PDPs zoning formula if only to cause disaffection in the PDP fold, this would be better for our democracy than having a CPC control everything from Presidency to NASS, to GOV forum.

People need to first take away their  hate for the north before they can reason correctly, I tell you that a lot of all this anti-Buhari people would choose an Ibori over Buhari. For them, It is not really about the personalities but the region they come from.Personally I am torn between supporting Buhari or Ribadu, I am hoping that Ribadu can come up with very competent and "non-politician" character like  Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. We just need a departure from the usual PDP people, we  need technocrats, professionals, people that have succeeded in their chosen career.

Even though buhari eventualy becomes president&pastor Bakare the VP, i don't think he(bakare) will actual make much impact in the country,because he will still be acting under a boss(Buhari), what if we have a situation where there is a discrepancy of views btw the President &d Vp, as we have seen in the case of obj &Atk, what am tryin 2 say is that those sayin that buhari's choice of bakare had created a religious/ethnical balance should look criticaly at the reason he(buhari) choose Pastor B, cos i stil think it just a political strategy 2 get more xtians votes, Aftr all wen he becoms president most of the decisions wil be taken by him&who is d vp 2 challenge him, HONESTLY I REALLY DON'T TRUST THIS BUHARI. til i have enuff reason 2.

That is the dream I agree 90%,we need to reduce PDP's influence / power, in fact I had predicted that GEJ would win the Presidency but PDP will lose most of their governors. But my fear again is that we need a strong incorruptible leader that will put everyone on the line, regardless of where they come from CPC, PDP, ANPP, APGA, ACN if they have the enabling environment to aid looting; they will loot.  

GEJ has shown some sincerity, at least with the way He has given support to INEC to conduct a free & fair election, but the kind of money He spent during the primaries to buy delegates over and the way He practically arm twisted and negotiated his emergence, one had to have a 2nd thought. It was more like you rub more back I rub your back situation. That is definitely an unholy alliance

Bakare and Buhari? Have I just entered a parallel universe? When, how and why did this happen? I'm in shock. I've just seen this news for the first time and my mouth has not yet closed,

Please i know this is not related to the topic, i cldnt get to update all my account cos of some reasons, i have a little baby and that slowed me down a bit . i did some but still had some to go,does anyone think u.b.a and ibplc would listen to me tommorrow pls

Buhari and Bakare is actually a Good combination but the problem is 1, their party is just too irrelevant and when compared to PDP's reach they dont stand a chance. 2, Goodluck's ascend to power sounds/was too miraculous and Nigeria being such a religious country has been looking for such a miracle and their campaign team is exploiting that to the max. And finally 3, GEJ/Sambo are actually the best candidates out there, Ribadu and Buhari have previously shown a lack of respect for authority and I think if they're given power their ego's might get the best of them

Haaba! Why cant we Nigerians "discuss issues" like intellectuals, without resorting to this kind of debasive, gutter language?
Why cant we show such level of decorum and decency, when we discuss among each other?
Why do we make a nuisance of ourselves in a public discuss?

Even though we feel passionately about a subject, as educated as many of the discussants here have professed, why is such "education" not reflecting in our choice of language?
Why cant we rein-in our emotions? Every body has a right to speak their mind, and be heard too!
We disagree to agree, without all these bile unless someone wants to burst a pipe around their jugular! It not right at all.


In my own opinion, l love Bakare BUT l fear for his reputation if he joins these alliance!
I may be wrong, only time will tell.
As a "Man of God", and knowing the qualities of God the Almighty, he should "tread carefully"!
Politics as practiced in Nigeria is so dirty it would stain him beyond recognition!

What bothers me are:
*What if he claims "God has spoken to him" only to now loose the election: IS GOD A FAILURE? NEVER, except if "man" deceives himself!

*Can he not continue to make much "needed impact" if he stays "outside politics" but acts as a moral compass to those elected? Most likely, and his reputation and respect would still remain intact!

*What if he was elected along with Buhari and then the "regime" takes a turn for the worse? Will this not bring "disrepute" to God'name and Christians in general? Most likely!

*Since you cant control what you dont own, what if Buhari just makes him a "rubber stamp" (like most Deputies in Nigerian Politics) and then runs the country aground, what will he then do? Wont people wonder whether he didn't "see" it coming?

*Prophets in the Bible have NEVER been known to "speak God's mind" and then for the "WORD" not to come to pass because the Bible says "even if the earth passes away, not a single word of God shall go unfulfilled".
Thus, when the "Man of God" says "GOD SAID" and it then fails to come to pass (and we have heard a few of this from Pastor Bakare!), does it not make a mockery of "God's Prophet" or at the least, portray him as "speaking of his own mind and wisdom"?
DISCRETION THEY SAY, IS THE BETTER PART OF VALOR!

As a man l respect, l really "fear and worry" for Dr. Tunde Bakare: I would hate that he be "used and dumped" unceremoniously!

Now, to the main actor, Ret. Gen. Buhari.
A lot has been written about his character but till today, "How those 54 Suitcases" were allowed inside the country, when all entry points remain closed, as a result of security concerns that go with a "Currency Change" still bewilders many Nigerians!
How he "backdated" laws, laws which have capital punishment of "death", is still beyond human comprehension and a few Nigerians would still have been alive today if not for the fact that they have the "misfortune" of having Buhari as their Head of State at that point in time!
No sane society/leadership would "back date" the death penalty! It goes against all forms of fairness and natural justice!

Again, like some people have mentioned, he did not too particular well in his days at PTF (for an avowed anti-corruption crusader, to award contracts, based of familial relationship instead of competence and open bids, rubbishes those credentials of anti-corruption) and some people are wondering whether "the Leopard might just retain its spot" once its hand is on the Aso rock button!

But then, we must also note that GEJ/Sambo is not actually what this nation deserves BUT "if we cant have what we want, maybe we have to do we what we have"? This is very discomforting!
Something bothers me about GEJ! Everything seems "too easy and too organized" in his favor! Including the "PDP nomination" itself!
Its either there is a "celestial conspiracy" or some grand deception in going somewhere that we are not privy to!

What Nigeria needs is "citizens who are selfless and ready to put their money where there  mouth is" that is: People who can be a "Tunisian", an Iranian, a Chilean and a South African, all rolled into one! A REVOLUTION OF THE MIND AND BODY

Truly, we get the government we deserve (thats is the government we chose, directly or otherwise, by our actions and in-actions).

I still worry for Dr. Bakare sha!

i personally do not have a problem with Pst. Bakare becoming a vice president but do have a problem with ex leaders that didn't do much wanting another ruling time.

buhari n bakara won't win and SNG ll b a thing of d past. Its beta dat bakara rejects d offer and keep his long built prestige cuz buhari must still fail.

@jp philips

You do realize that you have serious mental problems don't you? All the things you posted are wrong. The fact that you have decided to curse me and my generations has disqualified you from any rational discourse.

Seek some professional help, before your hate leads you to do something your family will mourn over.

Nothing has really changed, The Vice President has no real authority. What can he do when this is the mindset of the man with the power:

"Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way"
Maj. General Buhari

"Jihad is our way" madman Buhari.
Have u people pondered on the real reason Buhari is jumping into bed with Bakare is that he knows there is no way he can win, so he is using Bakare as an ass to ride into Aso rock. U heard it yourself that the introduction of Bakare will "excite the polity" those were the words of his own boys which is something that madman seriously needs.
I am still going with Ribadu.

Buhari/Bakare, hmm what a combination!!!!
But nevertheless, lets watch and see how it goes.
Who knows what is in the mind of God?
Who knows weather (just like yaradua) Buhari will pass on shortly after winning the election, thereby leaving our Bakare in the head of affairs?
Maybe the real change is just on the way, go, Bakare go. Pls dont hesitate to obey the voice of God.

Buhari/Bakare!
Best combo since Abiola!
I'm so thrilled, in fact, I am dancing alanta right now

Ribadu has lost my vote oh.
Maybe he should just calmly step down

goodluck Bakare

pj5:

Buhari/Bakare!
Best combo since Abiola!
I'm so thrilled, in fact, I am dancing alanta right now

Ribadu has lost my vote oh.
Maybe he should just calmly step down

The problem with fantasists is that they live in a dream world. Let me bring you down to earth.

1. Only fool would vote for Buhari, as he will most likely over see the breakup of Nigeria. Why? His victory will signal to the Niger Delta that they mean nothing, if you think the Jos crises etc are a problem, wait till the delta boils again.

2. Buhari will lead a lame duck government. The Senate and House of Reps will be populated by PDP, he will either be impeached or rendered useless. on the instructions of the GOVERNORS who will be majority PDP.

3. Only in cyberspace is ethnicity not a factor, ANOTHER YORUBA MAN? When SS and SE can't get there? Dream on.

Word! Most people fail to see Nigeria either through the eyes of others or through the realities on the ground.
What will be interesting to witness would be how Buhari/Bakare mobilise in the places that matter, motorpacks, markets and streets. Rich pipul no de vote!
I cannot see these guys mobilising a house fly, Buhari has following among religious fanatics up North; but, there are nearly none down South.

Beaf oo,I dey vote oo 
I get and agree with your point,the elite mostly sit in front of their laptops and make noise from all the orifices in their anatomy,but when it comes to walking the walk by casting their votes,they'd baulk

That was before,check the demographics and the political incumbents at the states level(especiually in states where Buhari would've hoped to make inroads).Firsrt Kano is reported to be the most populous state in Nigeria,however flawed that report may be,Kano for sure has the highest population in the north with over 9 million people,followed by Kaduna with over 6 million people,assuming 50% of the populations are of voting age,they'd still come up with numbers equalling/exceeding the entire population figure of some other states in the North

^^^
As a follow up to the above,the Kano votes will be split between GEJ(PDP) and Shekarau(ANPP),Shekarau(not Buhari) is the only candidate that can upset GEJ in Kano.As for Kaduna,just forget it,as Sambo and governor Patrick Yakowa will deliver Kaduna to GEJ.Borno will most likely vote ANPP cos of the strangle hold of Sherrif in the state.That leaves Bauchi,Borno and Jigawa states which have a population figure in excess of 4 million(in the north).Whilst Borno is firmly in the hands of ANPP,Jigawa is a PDP-controlled state,where the political dexterity of governor Sule Lamido will surely swing the votes GEJ's way.
So except you're telling me that Buhari hopes to get votes from Bayelsa and Delta states,I don't see where he hopes to get the votes that could pose any serious challenge to GEJ.
From the benefit of hind sight,this is going to be Buhari's worst outing thus far,I see him coming a distant third,behind Shekarau who has all it takes to come a distant second behind GEJ
