10 Powerful Reasons to Vote General Buhari

I am not a fan of Buhari, but I admire his doggedness and capacity for pain. Heck a man who keeps going for election every four-year, loses, then proceed to court, loses in court, does nothing meaningful preceding the next election, only to pop-out again during another election period, is a "specialist in failure" (to borrow from Morinhno). So even as I don’t like him, I admit he’s an enigma, and have put up these 10 reasons why we should consider casting our votes for him. “I have come to bury Caesar, not to praise him!”

1. To Save an old man some tears
Nigerians are happy people (happiest at some point) and we always like to be hospitable and respectful especially to the elderly, old, and aged. So why do we derive joy in seeing an old man – General Buhari weep? Is it because he murdered his colleagues during his active period in the army? Is it because he signed Nigeria into Organisation of Islamic Country (OIC)? Is it because he asked “Muslims to vote for muslims, and Christians to vote for Christians”? Is it because he truncated the Lagos Metro Line setting the city back, in similar fashion as he truncated democracy in 1983 to turn the hands of clock backward? Is because of those he murdered with retroactive decree and several of those infractions he committed when he was a clueless dictator? Is it because he’s more clueless than he looks? How much more crocodile tears must this weeping general shed for Nigerians to forgive him and vote for him? A bucket? A river?

2. To save the Dogs and Baboons
Ladies and gentlemen, and erudite members of this platform, the sanctity of life is paramount; that’s why it is the fundamental of every human right principle. In 2011, when General Buhari lost his third series of general election, our able bodied and talented Youth Corpers, in services of the nation, were slaughtered by supporters of the people's general - almajiris. Throughout this spontaneous act of sheer wickedness and barbarism, not once did the general call them to order; not once did he tell his supporters that they are not acting on his behalf. The general kept mute, obviously pleased with what his supporter did in his name (and hoping it spiral out of control). Thankfully it never did.

Not long ago, the unrepentant general threatened again that “the dogs and the baboons will be soaked in blood” should another humiliating electoral defeat befall him. Nairalanders, let’s save our Youth Corpers, let’s save our friends and family, let avoid this ominous threat altogether by voting the General, else his almajiris, now evolved and more organised with choice weapons, will slaughter all the “dogs and baboons!”

3. To help avenge the death of Buhari’s people killed by JTF
At the height of the Boko Haram murderous saga, the JTF acting in the interest of Nigeria, and while performing their duties, gave Boko haram members a taste of their own medicine by returning fire for fire. As the casualty mounts, General Buhari was famously quoted to have insinuated that the JTF are killing “his people”, instead of inviting them to Aso Rock for dialogue. Equating the murderous and barbaric Boko haram hordes (his people) to the Niger Delta Militants, Buhari was of the opinion that the JFT should stop killing them, rather we should pay them off (amnesty package) for killing Nigerians. A similar debt is said to be owned by the good people Oyo. El Rufia, his party member, reminded us that such deaths are debts which will be paid, even if it takes a hundred years. Gentlemen and ladies, shouldn’t we vote this man in so that our debts are quickly paid and forgotten?

4. Gen Buhari is original “Born to Rule”
Let’s face fact, unless you are Fulani muslim, you are not born to rule, and MUST NEVER rule. If you do, it must be under specific terms and conditionS. Even if you are voted in, you are either a puppet or just a temporary occupant. Buhari fits the profile: He is a Fulani Muslim; a special stock, a descendant of the great Uthman Dan Fodio, conqueror of Hausa, scourge of Ilorin, owner of Nigeria, the prima dona of Born to Rule. Nigeria, according to Ahmadu Bello, is the estate of Uthman Dan Fodio. Who better continue this storied lagacy than General Buhari himself, a true descendant of Uthman Dan Fodio?

5. Buhari has no property; no house (maybe like our current President – no shoes)
Buhari has no house, no property at all (since Nigeria belongs to his great grandfather perhaps). This according to his supporters is the acme of incorrigibility. I don’t know if Buhari’s parents grew up in the streets, and had no houses/properties – not even cows. If they did have any of those, they must be corrupt; they and other Nigerians who own houses are only able to do so because they are corrupt! If Buhari could work, and earn salaries all these years, yet unable to own a home or two, therefore any Nigerian who earned salaries of equal amount as Buhari but manage to own property or two must have corruptly enriched himself. Buhari’s lack of properties has nothing to do with his inability to think, forecast, plan, and execute, he couldn’t own a house because only corrupt people do. Let’s vote Buhari because he has no house, no property (perhaps no shoes too).

6. Buhari will “fight” corruption
Buhari will fight corruption they continue tell us. But no one seems to tell us how! Fortunately, history tells us how Buhari did it the first time out. After successfully (some say cowardly) benefiting from the coup plot that ousted Shagari ‘corrupt’ regime, Buhari placed President Shagari under house arrest, while Ekwueme the VP was bundled into prison. Buhari threw Fela Anikulapo Kuti into prison for possession of foreign currency (Fela had just returned from performing abroad, the poor fella didn’t know a decree has been passed prohibiting holding foreign currency). Meanwhile in the same era 53 suitcases containing some $700M was smuggled into the country by Emir of Gwando, the father of Buhari’s ADC. While Fela languished in detention, the Emir, a well connected “born to rule”, was given a pass! Let’s not forget banning of press freedom (decree 4) and the botched attempt to smuggle a fugitive from the UK by the Buhari’s regime. That is how Buhari fought corruption; wouldn’t we rather go back to this ‘wonderful’ era by voting him?

7. To enlarge Tinubu's empire
The say Buhari is poor, and has no property anywhere in the country (they must really pay peanuts in the military for someone to be unable to save, buy a land, and build a three bedroom apartment after working for decades, either that or the individual has no vision). Since Buhari has no need for material acquisition, but has chosen one of the most avaricious as his backbone and sponsor, isn’t it clear who stands to benefit from the contract? Let’s vote Buhari, and expand Tinubu’s empire from Lagos to beyond!

8. To continue the population lie
A major event in 2016 (a year after the election) is the National Population Census. The stakes are high as evident from the drama and rhetoric. Only in Nigeria is the Sahel savanna region more populated than tropical region, citerus paribus. The fellow who stated he will demystify this myth by not counting cows and goats in the core North as people has already lost his job. Knowing how things work in Nigeria, we can continue with this lie, by voting the People’s General – Gen Muhammad Buhari!

9. To maintain oil block status quo
We know how the oil blocks ownerships are skewed against resources owner, while abundant solid minerals littering other enclaves are rarely stated in the equation, let alone exploited federally. The oil blocks are due for renewal by 2015 and beyond. We can continue to cheat the South and maintain the status quo by voting Buhari! Least we forget, these oil blocks are spoils of war, and payment to the Northern elite for the liberation of Niger Delta from Biafran force. (abi no be so?)


10. To save Buhari's Bank manager
At the basic human level, I really sympathize with Buhari’s bank manager (if Buhari N27M loan claim is anything to go by.) Sanusi spent most of his tenure as central bank governor, hounding bankers for granting loans to you and I to invest in capital market, with the certificate as collateral. If that is considered criminal, how much more granting unsecured loan of such magnitude to Buhari? Or didn’t the bank manager read severally that Buhari has no properties, hence nothing of value to use as security/collateral! I didn’t even know that bank managers can grant a loan of such magnitude on the spot. Someone please tell me the bank and branch. I smell fraud! I am sure the bank manager is being grilled by bank’s credit committee even as we speak, but he could become the finance minister if we all vote Buhari!


I know there are several other reason to 'vote' buhari, but these are my top 10. Let's hear yours.

Beaf is da man ! You are a poet of timber and calipers, if I may borrow that time-tested Nigerianism.

What makes sense on this story

Wow @PointB

What a piece, what an article.

Another senseless and malicious thread.

Buhari giving TANoids high blood pressure since his declaration.

Sai Buhari 2015!

@Op..Wonderful piece. Well done!
Till date neither Buhari nor his deaf and dumb apostles have told Nigerians HOW the weeping general intends to transform Nigerian if elected. Atiku with all his baggages has at least told us HOW he intends to reform Nigeria if mistakenly elected.
Assuming Okonjo Iweala with all her experience is unable to transform the Nigerian economy, then I wonder what magic a Buhari, who is so clueless that he had to play the loan for party nomination form stunt, would perform. What should we expect from such myopic weeping general besides the usual momentarily popular but retrogressive stunts that lead to no where, such as:
- the seizure of missionary schools by govt
- making Nigeria a dumping ground for imported goods
- govt seizure of petroleum refineries built by private companies
- making the whole electricity industry a parastatal of govt
- quota system

Satire

PointB:
[b]Is it because he signed Nigeria into Organisation of Islamic Country (OIC).

All your points are foolish but this I quoted is most foolish. So General Buhari has become Babaginda the mentor of your boss Jonathan that signed Nigeria into OIC? You shameless pathetic scum of a paid hack. I shall celebrate the defeat of Jonathan and the subsequent loss of your job as a paid hack scumbag.

Great stuff.

It would have been comic if it was not so tragic that we still have a few misguided ignoramuses who are willing to waste their votes on an unreconstructed fascist like Imam Buhari in 21st century Nigeria.

You are always absent on sensible thread but ever trolling on sycophancy threads. See as TAN has succeeded in making you a pathetic troll.

Go get a life bro
Hate him or love him, Buhari For President 2015.

You can say that again

Why are you guys worried about hyping the old man called Buhari? We have seen all he can offer as presidential candidate in different elections and status quo will remain .

OP,
You got my ovation.

We will do all we can to vote him....

Emm, but dont forget there is voting in and voting out.

Well articulated piece by the op.

The no.5 got me

Thanks bruv,
That's hitting the bulls-eye. It would really be fine to hear Buhari personally wax lyrically at a press conference on how he intend to turn the country around should we trust him with our vote.

Thanks man. Abi oo.

'Voting' him as a fourth time loser is also cool. Buhari is 'born to lose!"

"The fellow who stated he will demystify this myth by not counting cows and goats in the core North as people has already {LOST HIS JOB}".....

Under whos watch sir? :/

Due to intense propaganda by "born to rule." If it can happen now, one can only imagine what happened before, and what will happen next!

Sai Buhari 2015!

I have come understand that Buhari's Apostles have made Nairaland unintelligible and trying to protest every criticism on the Despot.

I have just decided to delay most of my publications on the man Buhari to avoid diminishing the ballistic implant they intend to create in the overall perception of average Nigerian electorate on who this despot actually is.

As for the one denying Buhari's involvement and contribution to Nigeria's enrty into OIC, we will debate the process and Buhari's involvement in a later date.

Goddex:
The man looks so dull and unintelligent.

His only attraction is that he has strong Almajiri youths following in nothern Nigeria

and hw does gej look?

Hmm if you claim this are beer parlor gossip? Then it means you don't know the meaning of GOSSIP

according to Google, gossip is

casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.

From the above you would agree that pointB points were NOT beer parlor gossips but an issue that raises questions aboutb buhari's person and so call integrity focus...
