I respect baba so much but the old man should just shut the f up.. Who the hell cares if it's a muslim to muslim ticket or christian to christian ticket.. What we need now is if the person will bring the country out of this mess.. People like baba who are full of religion ish should put their belief at home and not bring it to a place where work needs to be done. If a babalawo will bring this country out of this mess, I will galantly vote for him.. Religious shit won't do nothing if the minds of the candidates are full of wickedness! 2 Likes |

Baba done come again. what is wrong with Christian Christian and Muslim - Muslim ticket as top political leadership roles. Its about time religious stay out of politics. It brought nothing other than tension, pressure and violence. We brought in Christian in form of GEJ, voted en-masses against all odds, did he get us to the utopia? (debatable). He is no different from previous muslim leaders who have rule this country.. As long as leaders are competent, have ability and conviction to do the job, who cares about their religion affiliation. To me it does not matter as long as the candidate can deliver us to promise land whether a Christian, muslim judaism. He/She should be able to provide us with National security, employment opportunity, 24 Hours electricity, Good roads both federal and state roads, pipe borne water etc, that all we are want. I think all these religious leaders and affiliates should stay out of politics, enough of jets and robes flaunting their riches all over the world. What we need is Humanist approach leader who know our needs and can deliver to the masses, we don't want religious overzealous and bigots leaders. 2 Likes |

mrofficial:dude..I detest hypocrisy! pray tell what performance and vision has buhari proved since Nigeria started on it's path of democracy since 99? or you think we are still in a ' decree and so shall it be' era? Nigerian politics is not some utopian political arena, as much as you would want to believe it..There are a myriad of ethnic groups, languages, ideologies all mixed together in one big cauldron of a country so thinking they will always agree on every issue is living in pure denial of reality. As for your last two sentences, whatever floats your boat. |

Obasanjo has said it how it is. I think he's actually trying to help the ACP. We have to face the realities of our time. Religion is currently a very emotional and sensitive issue in Nigeria today. A Muslim-Muslim ticket will simply not fly in current climate. Just imagine how PDP would play it in the campaign? Pastors on the PDP pay role will make hay, calling on their flock to 'defend their faith'. The 'Political Boko Haram' will swing into action and we can expect to see churches across the country attacked. In such a climate do you really think Christians will come out en mass to vote for a Muslim-Muslim ticket? Let's be honest with ourselves. |

I have total respect for former president Obasanjo but I must confess that I am so disappointed in him for making such a statement. I never expected stuff like this from him. I am a Christian & I say "LET THE BEST MEN WIN". For me, a Buhari-Fashola presidential ticket for the opposition party is the best choice for Nigeria right now. Those 2 guys are visionaries & we shouldn't deprive ourselves of great governance because of "religion". Religion is different from "serving God". Anyways,I see Nigerians are still so stupid & would put all manners of sentiments before logical reasoning. I therefore say "happy suffering to all you Nigerians that still want to keep suffering. Suffer well on earth because of stuppidity and blind sentiments o. Cheers to you guys!" 2 Likes |

North central for pdp, Lagos Pdp-lets stake it. GEJ all will with a gap of 3million Votes in These same lagos where social networking has gone wild. Is not about shouting. Let's watch and see.. The old people ve seen farther dan the self claimed young one's can ever imagine. GEJ is d only competent person among dem for now to transform Nigeria. He already win. Only a Clueless being who has never spent a minute at the North central or Core North will go ahead to vote for Buhari as an individual... Its not party issue... Let APC field in FASHOLA and kwankwaso as his Vice. APC'll will, Fashola or any other person. APC all win. The christian minitary generals and the founding fathers of Nigeria are not talking now, u'll hear dem talk to d election. Tinubu himself will create the vote for GEJ in lagos... Let's stake it... Nigeria development problem is not leadership incompetency. No one who has mounted dat seat lacks the quality to rule dis Nation... D problem is Religious Political selfishness.. (Religious intolerance)... We are just evolving to a religious tolerant state now, and we are not yet matured enough to maintain dat by allowing Buhari as the president of dis nation. If u are claiming religious has no say to national development read about Angola crises and the Angola of these days. And why Angola have to ban Islam as a religion. (¶ call the south west Islams Muslim, and the North Islam though a tautology). A Few south west islam are very tolerant, but only minute Northern muslims are.. Dat has bin d problem of Nigeria right from time. The reason why other leaders looks failed is because they were all busy working on Nigeria not to to tru Religious war. But only God cud settle dat. Even in Lagos- go to the public sector and make some researches for yourself as a christian-(you'll cry out dat lagos is not working but trying to b liberal). Religious has bin d major problem of Nigeria. For Nigeria to remain one Nigeria Buhari must not win, so the founding fathers will do everything they cud to make sure it doesn't happen. So forget APC in 2015 is spiritually settle. Until Nigeria has fully mature to a secular state.. Its this moment of crises that would do dat.. So let's endure it, we are moving forward, settling the issues that was suppose to ve bin settled. Every other thin attach to Nigeria Politics is Political challenges..... So GEJ till 2019... Let's support him until all d hidden tin bin uprooted. Sud ¶ point at the big one that you southerners don't know of.. 1. THE SHARIA PART OF NIGERIA CONSTITUTION IS ABORLISH (that was y obansanjo cud not protect the christians in crises den, and some dat try to defend d christians in d north were retired as generals, Obasanjo was after Nigeria peace- is Beyond what we read in News papers and social media). ¶ ve a liberal muslim fwend who is politically insane(sorry) he confirm to me dat he'll do a lot of mobilization there in jos to make sure Nigeria continue unto they are fully develop to secular state of total religious tolerance. If buhari gets there the ego of Islamic rulling continues and protection of all Hidden Islamization of Nigeria agenda continues, nd we'll b wallowing in little fake development. Which will never happen... Expect nigeria to go to religious war if it goes the other way. The north central christian are the fighting one's dat don't tolerate every religious move that go against secularism. They will integrate the war. So GEJ till 2019 until every religion finally knows his place in Nigeria politics. Pls stop criticizing and make researches before doing so. |

What's funny about this whole thing is, no one has decided on their running mate but it has become the hottest topic of the moment. What this means is, this poses a threat to the opposition. Everyone is assuming that Buhari will clinch the APC ticket and a lot of people are assuming/hoping he'll pick Fashola as his running mate. If that combination wasn't a good combination, no one will pay attention to it. Saying that, if Buhari picks any other muslim as a running mate, he'll surely lose. So this is really not a Muslim/Muslim thing, the opposition is just trying to make as much noise as possible so that the Buhari/Fashola combination won't happen. I know GEJ/PDP supporters won't agree but Fashola is arguably more christian than muslim or at the very least 50-50, his mother is a christian, his wife is a christian, some of his kids are christians, he has christian siblings, this man does a huge carol in the govt house inviting gospel singers from everywhere. In fact the first sunday of the year, its bishops and pastors that he invites to pray for the year, so whats the real issue here?? Ismalizing the country, whatever that means, is him betraying all the people closest to him. Again we have a national assembly, they'll have to write this islamization into law so I don't get it. If this ticket was looking like a Buhari/Aregbeshola, no one will be talking about it. As a matter of fact, the opposition will be praying for it because they know Buhari will lose but a Buhari/Fashola ticket is giving them a lot of worry. This is because we have an anti-corruption crusader on one hand and a well known performer on the other hand 6 Likes |

OmoEniafelamo: and are u saying he is not making sense? This is a well known fact. For the fact that there was a Muslim-Muslim ticket in 1993 which brought Mko and Kingibe does not mean it will come to reality in this present Nigeria maybe it can in the future when politicians are no more desperate to be in that seat of power. Then It happened because ppl were just tired of the military system being practiced-the killings, jailing, less freedom etc and for now that some Muslims have displayed thier skills in killing innocent souls and even threatening to do more to Islamize the country, hmmm many people will not even dare it. Why not attempt a Christian-Christian ticket since a muslim-muslim had won before or are there no better Christians in the north and south? Imagine a 73 year old military taking power! If he does anything silly when hr wins, he won't mind after all, how many years does he need to live on this planet before getting his virgins. Buhari should go and be an elder statesman like his fellows. Any party can combine anyone possible, GEJ will win. |

Sir, no bad feelings, how old are u and how far do u know Nigeria politics? I laugh when I read folks admitting muslim-muslim ticket or SW/Northner ticket because I see war/disintergrating if it happened. MKO/Kingibe ticket was voted because we need democracy at all cost even majority of d military want democracy though, they expected Torfa to win which didnt happen and guess what the election was cancelled. 1993 till date is 21yrs and such ticket will be war ticket in Nigeria now because alot of hidden information in Nigeria politics have been exposed since 1999 till date. So, personally, I look to those agitating muslim-muslim ticket as enemies of Nigeria unity. Nigeria politics is just 10% of what we read on internet or pages of newspaper, its called the less you read or hear, the less you know. Pls. OBJ has been with Nigeria govt from 1960's till date and I don't think most of us here are closer to our govt than him..we have to respect his advice gbishman: 2 Likes |

I think we should be careful. It is Ok for the younger members of this blog to imagine that religion and ethnicity do not matter any more. However reality is different. How do you think Christians would have reacted if the type of religious massacres we have been experiencing happened under a muslim-muslim leadership?? Incidentally can you imagine what the North would say if what APC was suggesting was a christian-christian ticket, even if the Christians were northern Christians? Religion may not matter in the SW where brother and sister can be from different religions, but in the North (especially middle belt where xtians are being massacred everyday) and the SE/SS it is a game changer.

jesuslovesme123: Do you know what it takes to lead 160million citizens? You think 9ja life ends in Lagos? The entire Lagos land mass is less than 4 Local Governments in Kano. After 8years of Fashola's rule in Lagos, can everyone in Lagos boast of good jobs? good businesses? good accomodation? admission? water? So what makes you think Fashola, on entering aso rock, will suddenly put an end to unemployment in Nigeria? Let me remind you, Bayelsa will never forget GEJ for his gubernatorial roles in the state. Corruption and the lies you guys are sharing on the internet since he assumed the office of presidency were never linked with GEJ while in government house in Bayelsa. Except you're talking about another Fashola, but the Fashola I know - who deports Nigerian citizens from Lagos state, will recieve more insult (in multiple folds) if he ever steps his callous foot in Aso rock. 1 Like |

Just because it is politics, some people will come to a faceless forum like this and type trash. For goodness sake Nigeria is not properly structured. You can see and even feel the injustice in our national life. Inasmuch as I prefer competence over any other thing, unfortunately it is not so in this country. To all those promoting muslim-muslim ticket, what will you say about quota system? what will you say about federal character? is it only now that you will remember competence? As a nation, we did not remember competence when a child scores 230 in an examination but was not given admission but another child scores 2 and was offered admission into our unity schools; we did not scream competence! I am not a fan of Obasanjo but the old man said the biter truth. Some of us may not like what he said but that is the sad reality in Nigeria. If we are talking about competence, let it reflect in all our national life. Obasanjo has hit the nail on the head, let those who have ears hear! 4 Likes |
