barcanista: I understand your concern for age, I once had it but bros it is inconsequential. It is not about old age but what is brought on the table. Uzor Kalu was one of the youngest governor in 1999-2007, but you can't compare his performance to that of his contemporaries like BAT who are older in age. Gabriel Suswam of Benue State was young when elected but his Ideas and performance is a celebration of mediocrity-compare him to "OLD" Ajimobi of Oyo State or Oshiomole. What we should be interested in is ideas. Even the PDP major players are "OLD" men. Anenih, is 80plus and he is the Chairman of Nigeria Port Authority. Boni Haruna who is supposed to be "Youth Minister" is 50plus in age. The "Ambassador @ Large" Bamanga Tukur is a very old man. What about defense Minister General Aliyu Gusau who has been in government for STRAIGHT 30plus years? Are you talking about SGF Ayim Pius Ayim who is 60plus? It is not about their age per se but what they have to offer. I support young people to aspire for leadership position but it will be ridiculous to make that a priority

Mogidi:

Is this you







Nice try son.

barcanista: Oya modify your previous post. There is something called destiny. GMB is a man of destiny and God wants to use him to fix things. History tells us that Nigeria was near collapse in 1983 prior to when GMB was appointed President, he changed things around. Right now the whole country seems to be collapsing, GMB will turn things around.

If Buhari really want to rule Nigeria again he need to try harder than Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal

gratieao: ^ I don't see APC winning presidential in Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti. Forget all this Internet noise. (i see Tinubu as a gud business man)
Bear it in mind that northern heavy weights like IBB, Atiku, Danjuma, Gowon, Abdusalame even Kwankwaso etc will not support Buhari candidacy because of their "personal interest"

gratieao:
If Buhari really want to rule Nigeria again he need to try harder than Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal

barcanista: You sef na wa o. No northern politician has political value in the NE and NW like GMB. Kwankwaso is my man, even his ardent follower is first loyal to GMB than Kwankwaso. In fact kwankwaso lost 2003 as a performing incumbent because he supported Obj. He won 2011 because he supported GMB of CPC despite being the PDP candidate. Atiku has no political value as at today, someone that can't even win his state's primaries. In fact, GMB defeated him in Adamawa in 2007. IBB and Abdusalam are Overrated even in the NC. You even call Gowon? Gowon is apolitical

barcanista: very pathetic trolls. They have nothing to say because all their propaganda has been ineffective.

Descartes: I guess you are not a politician but pretending to be. Mind you propaganda and blackmail are two most powerful tools in politics.If you had played politics in school you would have understood better. Just take FKK, Elrufai and Ribadu as examples. Their political inclinations and views in the past are used against them today.Finally, this politics section where propaganda and blackmail are order of the day and the winner takes all.So I don't see the need to whine in this regard.Thanks.

barcanista: lolsss, I know how to play my game... I can't tell you my strategy but I'm one person who you can't use his word against. I'm not ffk nor ribadu, if I were to manage their Image especialy elrufai and Ribadu, their public rating will soar. So your tactical attempt to make me look like a whiner and a crybaby with no idea on what he is into,is Dead on Arrival.
Nice try tho

Descartes: . Oh I see . Hope you'll not become Reno Omokri who has about 56 TANpads on his payroll.

barcanista: I don't need to hire trolls to manage the reputation/image of a principal...
Reno is a blogger not an image maker

Descartes: Noted.

Mogidi:

If you think ranting all day would stop me from exposing you, then you aren't paying attention.
Take it as a done deal, am going to continuously humiliate you with that post.

barcanista: how was yur day?

berem: I don't know why you're giving the cankerworms so much attention. I have told you to ignore them and they will stop digging your posts just to score silly points. Ignore the fools please!

LFJ:

Am sorry to ask you this question. Pls. how old are you?

barcanista: Try harder as in how? Well all he needs to do is to step up his campaign and reach out to more prospective voters,. Thankfully, his achievement of the past with the performing people that he surrounds himself with will be a major boost. Before now, his campaign down south wasn't that formidable(ANPP and CPC strongholds has traditionally been the North). The merger to form APC is the most sensible political move made by the opposition. Already the North is in the kitty, the SW and Edo is more favorable to APC than PDP,. Rivers is split between both parties, same with Delta. SE is PDP's conquered territory along with Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Bayelsa. Any political analyst will know that if election is conducted tomorrow, APC/GMB will win.

Dear Jonathanians/TANoids/E-trolls

It has become a common trend for some you to "DIG" up my posts of the past that had a different view from my present political leaning. I don't only find it ridiculous but childish.

To set the record straight, I am not the kind that get stuck to a position even after realizing that the view I hold on to is contrary to the true position. It is even foolish to hold on to a position you once believe in after realizing that it isn't the right position/doctrine. Like Apostle Paul that did a 360' change as regards the Christian gospel(apologies to non Christians), despite being one of the Chief Persecutors, he laboured and died by the sword of Emperor Nero for the same Christian faith he once stood against. In fact, he infamously led the lynching of a Christian Matyr Stephen before his conversion according to the Holy Book.

Of recent, I observe with dismay on the actions of Jonathanians/TANoids/PDP using my past stance to malign my integrity and reputation rather than engage in a debate as regards issues intelligently. The Chief of them is Mogidi, who kept spamming and following me in virtually every threads using my once held OPINION on this Thread https://www.nairaland.com/1855677/opinion-why-buharis-candidacy-not on General Mohammadu Buhari, which I have modified and even updated. Other trolls have been digging as far as my 2010 comments in their bid to malign me. Though I am not bothered, I consider it to be a shame, a disgrace and an embarrassment to adulthood that Grownups with possibly wives and kids will rather troll in an online forum than contribute intelligently to topics. First they tried labelling me as other posters, it failed. They went ahead to tag me a "Yoruba" and "Northerner", it still failed, now it is character assassination, which I am guaranteeing that it will fail.

I want to restate that I am 100% committed to the cause of the All Progressive Congress and to kickout the Rogues and Clueless People in Power led by My Brother/Father Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP gang out of power through the polling boot, which is a legitimate route. I owe nobody an apology nor explanation to this decision-except on my own volition.

You're now willfully looking for excuses to squeal your way out of the jam you created, and in the process demonstrating your talent and capacity as a highly paid poster. I will constantly remind you of your doublespeak, you shouldn't be taken serious. You accuse lots of us of digging into your past, but if it was once we would think its an aberration, you do it all the time which makes it a pattern. Your pattern of deceit will be exposed, I can promise you that.

barcanista:
Honestly, I don't really care what you do, nor does your opinion matter. You have an image and reputation of a pathetic troll, spamming the forum with the same post does not just make you silly but it makes you look like a joke. Anyway, no where in my writeup did i tell you to stop, infact, you have my FULL BLESSING... I advised you as a human that continuing this path will only make you a symbol of ridicule and see what someone said to you in response to your silly act

You aren't a sensible person anyway...

I have "honored" you and humiliated myself by responding to your silly act, now I am sending you back to the ignore jail till further notice

barcanista:
digging up someone's past is not a problem but doing so with sense makes everytin interesting rather than spamming and trolling constituting nuisance on every thread posting the same thing childishly and getting the same
response.Eg on this thread, [b]Chief firefire dug up my comments and he got a "favorable" response. It will be foolish for him to repeatedly dig up the same thread, asking the same question and trolling on every thread.
[/b]Another is I like issue based tackling, that is what sensible people do rather than tackle emotionally, which unfortunately is the trademark of trolls and e-nuisance.
Anyway, I aint telling trolls to stop, I know how to handle such people
