osenzo:
I'm nt exactly so interested in politics, but i find these facts interesting. You can verify them if u still doubt

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha.

Please consider the following unassailable facts:
1. He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

2. There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!
3. In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

4. JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2yrs before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

5. Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by almost 16yrs of the PDP rule.

6. Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

7. Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station, much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

8. He could have retired into nauseating opulence like most of his counterparts (IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ) but didn't.

9. Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.
People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

10. He is the only politician in the Country today who fills rallies without renting a crowd.

11. He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

12. He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja .

13. Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past eneded up vindicating him!

14. The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

15. He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge. His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State!

16. His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today.

17. Buhari draw NGN2.3m monthly instead of NGN23m drawn by other past leaders. He returns his official car every 5yrs to take another one while others keep theirs and collect another

Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumours about Buhari?
He is a threat to them and they know what he is capable of doing to corruption and corrupt people when he comes into office! So shine your eyes and make the right decision.

If honesty and probity are the things you want for Nigeria, now is the time to choose right.

Story for the gods, the gods o

PassingShot:


You see your life! Instead of blaming the contractors for shoddy job, you blame APC.

Yet a story on NL yesterday where a bridge in kano GEJ commissioned was speculated to having cracks and APC r blaming GEJ/PDP. u guys refused to blame the contractor. u APC pple sure know how to talk.

Demdem:


Dont be ridicoulous. tell me just one person that enters office and does all what he promises or stated he/she will do.
Besides, if the powers that be especially the president at that time doesnt agree to it, there is no way the CBN would have gone ahead.
he said it and the soludo i know wont say if he doent mean business.

''tell me just one person that enters office and does all what he promises or stated he/she will do''

Yet u complain that GEJ made promises and did not fulfill them.

Bravo.

trippleKAY:
oga go nd sitt down! He is d only 1 looking down among all d debaters! U just told use whr his expo was written. Clueless follower

First of all, it wasnt expo, usually, wen u read, u jot down points. GEJ is d current president so he has facts and figures that he needs to butress his point.

secondly, d other candidates r new, they were all reeling out what they wld do in d event of becoming president.

If GEJ mad a mistake with his facts and figures, same u wld say he is clueless.

Sentiments aside, GEJ was perfect and he realy impressed me with his facts and figures, while others were saying i will do dis, he was sayin i have done this and wld do this if re elected, thats wt debate is about. Apc shld shut up already, dey made it clear dey were not debating in d first place, so why r dey crying wolf now? no member of the other party have come out to complain that it was biased, so make apc shut up for once.

fboycaestro:


what happened in 2011....what was PDP hiding when Jonathan didn't show up.

If GMB didn't show up this time who is PDP to question him

Apc keep living in d past and yet u claim change? Buhari and apc shot themselves in the foot by missing the debate. this was an avenue to realy showcase the so called change to nigerians. the fact that GEJ missed 2011 debate is not reason enof for apc to say they wont come and debate. u are vying for the highest office in d country and ur playing children;s politics of u no come last time so i no go come this time,its realy pathetic.

Gej and d other candidates did very well in d debate by telling us what they have achieved and plan to achieve if voted in.

So who realy lost out of yesterdays debabte?

kastonkastrol:
Ignorant op... Nigerians are voting for general buhari and not his wife. Who gives a _fuck about what you guys thought mrs buhari said? SMH

Oh really? But wen PEJ says anything, u apc folks blow it out of proportion, like u said, nigerians are voting Goodluck not his wife, so whatever statement PEJ makes, u shouldnt give a f**c about it.

Hypocrisy

dotfam2104:
.... I bliv he doesnt need to prove anyfyn further. He already quoted hz wasc exam numba nd u dont expect him to generate dah numba himself. We jez need to understand dat anyfyn d general does will be criticised, especially during dz election period. U will realise pple wld even doubt d authencity of d wasc result shld WAEC even release it. So imagine d numba of times he wud av to prove himsef to pple. Its jez nt easy to handle limelight nd I lyk d fact dah he hz kept mute on d issue. Dats jez d best way to handle dz. I av no reason to doubt hz literacy, he mite nt be an orator buh av seen him address town hall meetings, grant interviews, read speeches nd respond intelligently to questns. U jez need to observe dz soft spoken general with a plain mind devoid of hate. Be fair to him.

Be fair to him u say? when people doubt everything their sitting president says and accuse him of all sorts and call him countless names, are they being fair to the President? sometimes we talk without weighing what we say.

This is politics and issues like these are bound to happen.

I know for sure that if it was GEJ that has been unable to provide his certificate or authenticate the one he produced, we would not hear the end of it.

As it is now, if a man can not Impregnate his wife, they will blame GEJ.

Please this question has been bothering me ever since and i want sincere, without sentiments and no insults on whoever answers please.

If he becomes president, how does he plan to repay back this loan and that of those that have been sponsoring his campaign?

If he looses, how does he plan to pay back as well?

Its an innocent question and i would appreciate, smart, intelligent and unbiased answers, no insults on whoever because we are all entitled to our opinions Please.

Thanks.

Of course, definitely. marriage shouldn't be based on Money, because in such marriages, when the money no longer comes, there will be problems,

Love should be paramount,cos love conquers all.

The fact that he is working and even earning 50k is something, because if he is very hardworking, dedicated and devoted, he will definitely move up in life and start earning higher.

Most ladies are greedy thats why we have so many that are still single, yet they will say is somebody from their village troublin or delayin them.

They say Rome wasnt built in a day, that man that earns 50k today can start earning 500k tomorow.

My father always told us that money isnt everythn and also that we shouldnt look at someone's today, rather look at his tomorrow and see a better future.

The is nothing absolutely wrong in marrying a guy that earns 50k.

Peace.

cozy7:
GEJ IS A TOTAL FAILURE. AS WE HV IT NOW, BUHARI MAY NOT BE D BEST OPTION, BUT OS SURELY A BETTER CANDIDATE

gmb also is not a man of his words, cos i remember in 2011, he sad he wont contest again.

Pataki:
Jonathan is the worst liar who has ever graced the highest leadership position in Nigeria.

History will never be kind to his name, as he has personally brought this enormous disgrace fully upon himself.

If he is the worst liar, what will u say about gmb? i remember he also said he wont contest again after 2011 defeat?

sammieblaize:
If he couldn't keep his word then what makes you think he'll deliver on his new promises if he wins

Did gmb not also say he wont contest again after 2011 election loss?

medamillion:
A man who cannot be trusted on small matters cannot be trusted with big ones.

Vote wisely
Vote. GMB

I believe gmb said same thing in 2011 but u people arent saying anything about it.

Gbawe:
I think the entire world now accepts that GEJ is not a man of his words. A completely dishonourable, dishonest and abhorrent leader Nigerians need to rid themselves of.

.

I believe GMB also made same remark that 2011 elections would be his last, infact he even cried on national TV, so what are we now saying?

Why did he go back on his words? what we all should understand is that these people are politicians,they say what suits them and what we want to hear and all they care about is their selfish interest.

GEJ is not perfect,just like many of us, he has made his mistakes,however terrible they are, but then i have seen many transformations he did these past few years. the fact that u do not like him for whatever reason does not mean u cannot see any good thing he did.

Just as an Average APC supporter sees GMB as d perfect being not minding the fact that (He lied about his certificate, Lied about contesting again and so many other discrepancies, surrounded and being sponsored by known corrupt criminals) but yet still believe he is a man of Integrity.

So lets call a spade a spade, GMB lied about not contesting in 2011 and to APC supporters, it is good and he is a man of his words,

But GEJ says same thing and he is being insulted and discredited.

They say remove the speck from ur eyes first before asking someone else to remove theirs.

I stil maintain that both PDP/APC are all bunch of criminals and corrupt people. all they care about is their selfish interest.

We only hope and pray that God will give us the best President come next week.

man try to grow sense now or u get a tokunbo one @ladipo mkt. Has any of those u mentioned been charged to court talkless of being convicted? but check d array of those in gej camp; bode rouge, ffk, stella oduah, fayose etc

.

I try as much as possible not to insult people, u do not have any right to insult me, state ur point cleverly and move along. i will not stoop to ur level by exchanging words or insulting u.

If u dnt have anythin intelligent or better to say, or have respect for people then get off my page.

obailala:


There was a reason why GMB did not choose Amaechi as his running mate even though Amaechi was really a favoured candidate. It was simply in response to public opinion that Amaechi is dubious.

However much can't be said about Jonathan who seems to be under a very strong voodoo spell that leads him to ONLY choose and retain dubious characters in the most exalted positions. That my friend, is the difference between both candidates.

But made him his DG Campaign and has been enjoying all the money Amaechi has been dolling out for his campaign and also using his private jet. and says he wants to fight corruption? where did he think Amaechi got the money he is using for GMB's campaign, and we are screaming change. some of us are learned and we should act like one.

To me, they are all the same. I was little wen GMB was Head of state so i would say i didnt know anything then, but am grown now and from stories from my folks and older people around me and with my little research, GMB realy has nothing to offer nigerians.

Aside from him fighting corruption, what are his concrete plans to better this nation? all i hear is change, change, change, how r dey goin to profer that change?

GEJ isnt the best nigerian president, he is only human prone to mistakes and misgivings, but it doesnt make him clueless and irresponsible like many of u like to think.

The bible says he who is without sin cast the first stone, GEJ is bad, GEJ is Clueless, GEJ is terrible, but he has tried for nigeria in many ways than one.

Sentiments aside, can u boldly and convinsingly tell me that GEJ hasnt done anything good or right for nigeia since inception of office?

Ponder on that plz.

Suljosh:
The question I keep asking my self is, is GEJ under a voodoo that he can't make the right decisions? Always surround himself with corrupt people. God please take this people away from the helm of power with whatever means. I don't wish them dead but, I don't care how you do it father.

and GMB surrounds himself with people( Tinubu, Amaechi and co) of integrity and non corrupt practices abi. Plz remove sentiments and lets forge ahead bo.

gabrol:
Show me your friend & I tell u d type of person u are. If not for anytin else, GEJ keeping coy of pple of questionable characters is enough to sack him.
28th March is for us to take our pound of flesh.

.
Likewise GMB,show me GMB's friends(Tinubu, Amaech, Atiku,Rochas) etc and i will tell u who he is. Birds of a feather flock together. Both PDP and APC are all the same,they are all corrupt. so u guys should stop preachin change. because with the likes of Tinubu and co, we cant have that change.
They are all guilty of one form of corruption or d order.

[quote author=thaoriginator post=31006230]I tire for the dull idiot slavery minded bastards oh.. Like say english na their papa language.. WTF!
Too much emphasis on ordinary english.. In fact, from today on na gbagaun I go dey speak..[/quote.

From ur post "Like say english na their papa language'' u clearly admit that english isnt our papa language, but wen the first lady speaks or says anything, pple like u are d first to criticize her.
I have been on Nairaland for sometime now but dont post anything, i only just come to read pple's post and replies.
There are some pretty smart nairalanders here and some not so smart nairalanders.
I am not into any political party, but wen i read comments from pple i keep asking myself questions weda these are really our future leaders.
Human beings are pple u cant please, what ever u do, they will criticize u, weda good or bad.
PDP is ds, pdp is dt, dey have not done well, dey have done badly, my bible tells me dt he who is wtout sin, cast the first stone.can anyone sincerely say d incumbent hasnt done one good thing since inception of office?
The incumbent govt has done quite a great deal of amiable deeds, that dsnt mean dey dont have their shortfalls, it can only get beta.
Pple shout change left right and centre, i kip asking, will d likes of Tinubu, Amaechi, Atiku, even Obasanjo profer dt change?
Lets ask ourselves credible questions and ponder on issues during our quiet time and realy think wt wld b best for our nation.
In the end, total peace for our nation and how to move it forward should be our major concern.
Both APC and PDP are all bunch of recycled corrupt and malicious set of pple, all they care abt is their personal interest, they shout change and power to the pple but yet don give a rats A$$ about the average nigerian.
these same set of pple, wine and dine together wen d curtains are down, wen it favours dem, dey stick arnd, wen dey become irrelevant,dey hop to d next party to gain some relevance and claim d oda party is dt and dt. same pple chanting change tomorrow, if GMB becomes president and dsnt play ball, same pple will want him out of office, so wt are we not sayin.
we come to nairaland insult each other just cos we belong to a different school of tot. u musnt like my choice and vice versa, its high time we respect each odas decision no matter what.
In the end, all we pray for is a beta nigeria. God bless nairaland.
Anyways, politics is a game, may d best man win.
