debosky:Debosky , God bless your brain .... This is exactly my thought !! .... Nigeria should stop recycling all these old goons who would revisit the problems of the 80s and bring those nasty Era I wasn't even born to my pleasant Youthful days .... I've you ever heard Gowon speaking without mentioning Biafra , Obj and his Military Era , Babangida and SAP/June 12 ..... I think Buhari should provide the muscle for Fashola,Oshiomole,Ribadu,Elrufai,Kwankasiya,Wamakko,Tambuwal,Rochas and brokered International alliances for 'em with his Military connection also He can woed one/two of PDP muscle(Cabals) like of away from PDP and build a rock for APC ...... Buhari can never win election in Nigeria, I like his person but my principle that I've always campaign is: as far as the future of Nigeria is concerned it is in the hands of our Youthful Governors majority of whom are in APC ..... Pick any of them from lagos/Imo upto Kano/sokoto and lets see the change we all yearn for if not Buhari or Atiku will make GEJ have a cleanzhit beyond Fayose's success against Fayemi !! 2 Likes |

debosky: Buhari is 72 now, he will b 73 by 2015 and 77 by 2019. by then he would hav shaped the polity and handover to a true generation Mandella was 76 by 1994, he was 80 by 1994, he would hav been 84 should he starts his second tenure. Yet he ignored the pressure for second term. today he is the world celebrated model. those claiming Buhari is old does so in sentiment. you should pray and thank God he stil has Nigeria intetest at hearth. the problems in this country needs sombody like him please my brother, i respect ur opinion buylt support buhari this time around i beg you. before 2011 election i campaignd for GEJ thinking hes the messiah but he failed. cant you see happenings in this country. are you satisfied? Abeg suport another govt for change. lets still test APC n compare the difference instead of failed pdp for 16yrs its we the electorate that can change the country with our vote. 5 Likes |

OAM4J:It is not about choice it should be about how to wrestle power away from PDP and with Buhari in the picture as flagbearer , GEJ umbrella it all same way Fayose did ..... I don't know how APC's political gladiators think but I was opportuned for the first time to be in ondo state (on my personal zhit) before Aketi's election and what I heard on the street is that Aketi will lose .... I thought it's just minority opinions until I was able to pinpoint a lady as APC's adherent also saying the same thing cuz she think Aketi's candidacy is not right backing her point that Aketi has not been ahome for long .... How could the national lord him over them !! I aint a Politician (I never want to be one) but issues about my country usually touch my heart since I was 3yo during Babangida's regime and I grew up to love government and social science ...... I think APC should conduct sensitivity analysis on Nigeria before they lord candidate if the party is truly serious on winning election on first ballot instead of Court ........ Personality like ''Kwankaso/Rochas'' will go a long way in giving Jonathan a very tough time ......... Wamakko/Fashola will make a lot of people to come out to vote ..... Many Nigerians abstain from election due to lack of credible candidates across board but with superb candidates both literate/Illiterates , Ignorants and Knowledgeables will vote the right choice !! How will you fieild Buhari or Atiku and GEJ won't win on cleanzhit ? |

naijababe: My dear lady, the profligate maintenance of our legislators can be tackled with many approaches which can bear fruit. You must first remember that it is the huge remuneration of our legislators that Nigerians are angry with and not the corruption they participate in. Executive and institutional corruption(NNPC, NPF, Army, Customs, Immigration/border control et al) is , by far, the biggest killer of Nigeria. It is executive corruption behind the fuel subsidy scam that saw trillions stolen with no one punished to date. It is executive and institutional corruption behind the blatant stealing and lack of transparency in the NNPC that has gulped mind-boggling billions of dollars over several years with Nigeria having nothing to show for such. It is executive and institutional corruption ruining our armed forces. It is executive corruption entirely responsible for the SURE-P scam that has delivered nothing when the original argument was that savings from subsidy removal will transform Nigeria drastically. I could go on all day but the bottom line is that executive and institutional corruption is killing Nigeria and that is what Buhari must tackle first and foremost. The unreasonably bloated cost of maintaining the NASS can be packaged as part of broad and holistic reforms to change the cost of governance in Nigeria. That is a veritable way forward. Because GEJ deliberately fails to address this issue does not mean Buhari will not and that the situation with the NASS is irreversible. The APC has also said it plans to look into this issue if able to get a majority in the upper and lower house. That Nigeria runs a hideously bloated arrangement gulping 65-70% in recurrent spending yearly is not disputed. Google it and you will see that there are tonnes of suggestions as to how to reverse this. Political will is needed which we know Buhari will operate with. That is another big plus in favour of Buhari. He is not the type to come in and be bullied by Senators, Governors et al as is the case with GEJ. With holistic and exemplary cost-cutting starting from the Presidency and the executive arm, in a period of 'national emergency' cost cutting reforms such as we saw after the credit crunch in Britain, the legislators will have no choice but to fall in line or risk the anger of Nigerians. Buhari is one of the few that can lead this charge. He is no doubt a popular candidate and one capable of wresting votes from Goofluck, which is why my preference is for him to use his might to anoint a younger, more vibrant and articulate candidate It is not as simple as that. Supporting a leader, within a complex and divided nation such as Nigeria, is not as easy as handing over a baton. This is not the time to take such a gamble only to then fail and thus hand Nigeria into the hands of those who have nearly run us aground already. What you ask for could easily be achieved via leveraging on the popularity and vote-winning ability of Buhari. We could do all we can to get Buhari to Aso Rock and then be assured of a vibrant replacement for him in perhaps 4 years or we can do as you say, gamble with a Ribadu-type as we did in 2011, and lose again to the greedy cabal killing Nigeria simply because us the educated elite want "young and vibrant" without the humility to accept this is not what majority of Nigerians will go for electorally. Have we learnt no lesson with the outing of Ribadu? We can gamble again egotistically and then may simply not have a nation called Nigeria much longer the way the present lot are carrying on. The issue is for educated folks to humbly key into what is required for the urgent 'rescue mission' Nigeria cannot afford to get wrong. Under Buhari you are guaranteed to see the "young, vibrant and articulate" leaders you hanker for everywhere and in transformational/important positions. If we gamble as you say and lose, then it will be a repeat of 2011 where GEJ came to power and simply flooded important positions with his inept cronies and minions to the detriment of Nigeria. 3 Likes |

Obiagelli:I stick strongly to my principle and I hope APC would do same .... Buhari's age is not my issue though majority of these old men think Nigerian President is a go for their age but it requires so much that even a youngman will be weak easily talkless a man above 70 that should be in his home playing with his GrandChildren while only discussing ''important strategies''!! We blacks are just power drunk and find it difficult to let go thinking that w'out us it won't happen .... Millions of things could be achieved in the background than the mainstream !!! If APC field my choice , they would have my vote !! |

Ojukwu Arinze GD wrote: General Buhari: The Myth, My Perception. A limited knowledge on Mr Buhari's personality, sent me to YouTube. Here's a simple and unsophisticated ex serviceman. Someone who passes his thoughts off in equal terms, that could be also be termed petty. No flashy economic policy phrases and clauses. Tap water remains tap water, no urban/municipal water network. Farmers in farms, not Agricultural resuscitation revolution. His goal - to bring back a Nigeria better than what we had in the first republic. A period he thinks, were Nigeria's grandest moments. Buhari got no shiny manifestoes of transformations. No tow of world renowned economists and bankers. He got none of that, but just one thing; accountability in governance. During the subsidy probe, we saw Harvard educated figures argue over figures and defends their confusion over figures with sentiments. So much for high education and sophistication. We either plug the leak, or keeps pouring more water into a leaking drum to portray an "all is well" show. The joke is on us if after 16years of governance by Africa's largest party, the quality of life of the average Nigerian is yet to see a tangible improvement. Two decades of godless and senseless orgy of public funds looting and corruption. Two decades of stagnant development in infrastructure and unbridled uncivil civil service. Decades of passing off mediocrity as stellar performance. Two decades of ironic transformation. A vote for Buhari, a vote for the opposition, is a message to vested interests holding Nigeria down, that we are tired of their 16years promise. We are tired of ASSU strikes, fuel hikes, opaque oil ministry, oligarchic government, wanton abuse of power, high mortality rate, extreme poverty and living a life unbefitting of a Nigerian. A vote for the opposition is not a vote for your tribe, creed or family,..it's a protest. We've been shortchanged enough and for how long shall we play the fool for our Kleptocrats? A vote for the opposition is not a vote for the North, nor the South, but a vote of defiance. For how long? Have Nigerians not suffered enough? The Nigeria we dreams of, is in our vote. Vote APC. 5 Likes |

donroxy: I agree with some of your views even though am not sure Kwankaso or Wamakko can pull the numbers Buhari can pull especially in the North. My Uncle lives in Kaduna and he told me there is no politician with half of Buhari's influence especially in the core Norths. They just trust the man rightly or wrongly. The common saying in the North is that "All that Buhari needs to give me is his word and I can take it to the bank". But the point is, in the event that Buhari gets the APC ticket ahead of Kwankaso or Wamakko, should we not support him knowing that failure not to do so means continuation of 'stealing is not corruption'? 10 Likes |
