The Reason Why I wont Support Buhari But Instead Rout For GEJ by 49cents(m): 9:53am On Dec 15, 2014 |
I am not fan of GEJ, in 2011 I wanted him out and canvassed everywhere I could for buhari but now that the stage is set, I have the following reasons not to support Buhari anymore and even rout for GEJ for the following reasons 1.His Romance with well known corrupt personalities in APC: When he was in CPC I took him as that sole voice and crusader who could come in and change things but now that he is rolling in the deep with personalities like Tinubu, of whom he has said deserves the to pick the VP slot for him because "he had worked hard for his candidature"......Tinubu of all people......now a picture of him is trending with him ans the corrupt Atiku who allegedly was fingered by OBJ as initiating the first ever bribe to the members of the NASS. Now with all these links with these rogues how can he truly fight corruption when he is dining with people he knows don't have a track record like himself? I seriously doubt if he can even rebel against them once he gets into power! Because I trust the APC thieving chiefs are ready to see that he is impeached if he tries any of that As it is now GEJ has no Godfather and that's a plus for any nigerian politician and for the people he governs and I can see he is trying to win the people over with projects and policies. 2.Sectarian mentality: Buhari's is too sectarian than GEJ: buhari's vibes and body languauge has shown that he does not have a large heart of a leader; he is one of those who think Power belongs to the North and his more angered that power has been in the south more than he is angry that thinks aren't working better in Nigeria. GEJ being from the minority tribe can't even be sectarian because he needs the support of the majority to succeed, that is why his cabinet is good mix of all tribes 3 stand on violence: .Buhari is not a man of peace: his reaction to the slaughtering of Corp members(one of us, nigerian youths) is horrible and unforgivable! He sympathised with the post election violence makers as he felt he was robbed! Even if he was robbed must he turn a blind eye to the killing of innocent Corpers at their prime ![]() 4. Boko Haram: buhari once said if he gets to power Boko haram will cease to exist in a matter of months If he knows what will quell this bloody insurgency which have displaced hundreds of thousands of nigerians. have seen the heartless shedding of innocent blood and He, why can't Buhari offer to work with the President to quell the crises having claimed to know how to stop it? To him he'd rather let people be killed the more so that we can look down on GEJ and look to him the Messiah for salvation. 5 .No articulated economic plans: Buhari is yet to state his social-economic plans to take Nigeria to the promise land, please don't cite APC manifesto because we all know it is just rhetoric......there has to be a maximum of three bullet plans, realistic and beleivanle that can take the country to greater heights.......all we hear is that he has one million left in his accounts.......poverty doesn't mean intelligence........ideas are what changes things and GMB has not being eloquent at all in these GEJ has an agenda, though inadesquate but he has were his going to. 6. We don't want Genrotocarcy!!! I never knew I would use this word after 15years since I heard it......I flunked the question in Civic studies in my freshmen year and that's how it stuck.....Genrotocracy is government by old people.... Pope Emeritus XVI gave up the papal seat citing age issues however a septugarian is jostling for an office that requires energy( see what Pa Elechi has done for Ebonyi.....nothin) what does Buhari at 70 have left to give a nation of 180 Million people other than counsel from the sidelines... GEJ is the youngest democratically elected president let us at least maintain the status quo if for nothing else They told us that we are the leaders of tomorrow......they had their chance and now they are taking our chance to determine our collective future as youth and here we are urging them on.......we must tell them to their faces: its our turn for determining how we want this nation to go Its a shame we have stoped believing in our rights or aware of it at all. I heard what the APC thieftains were saying, when rochas was talking about Age, they chanted "arugbo la fe" meaning is the old we want.....can you imagine...... Gowon and co were in power in their 30s why can't that happen again in our time? If buhari appreciates this point he should have looked for an upright young person and used his good name to canvass votes for him or her, why must he be the one always coming out? Let's give GEJ another chance till 2019....the Man has tried (at least he has done better than his predecessors) even though not flawless as far as corruption is concerned or handling the insurgency..... If for nothing else let's stop this Gerentocracy.....its our time to determine our tomorrow 27 Likes 8 Shares |

Informed Nigerians know it's not about good governance or lack of it, it's about power returning to the north. we even feel more insulted when the followers of buhari would have us believe that he is the ONLY man that can "save" Nigeria; and I ask: assuming buhari dies, it therefore means Nigeria is doom.

Let me help you OP: 49cents: First of, record has it that Buhari never wanted to romance with the corrupt and that's the reason he was not supported in his previous attempts. How many Nigerians voted for him in 2007 and 2011 when he refused those you tag as corrupt? As things are now, he doesn't need to prosecute past incidents of corruption but just to put a stop and move on. That much he has revealed in a recent interview. You say GEJ has no Godfather but he has Godfriends and Godassociates who steal us blind and he is unable to do anything about it. It is also on record that to GEJ "stealing is not corruption" 49cents: Pure sentiments and conjectures sold to you by the saTANs. All the lies they put up against Buhari cannot be substantiated. Do you know that Buhari sued Ruben Abati who said in an interview that he was responsible for the statement of "making Nigeria ungovernable for GEJ"? Guess what, it took begging and pleading by the presidency to make him withdraw the false and wicked lie with the Guardian newspaper writing a well circulated apology to the People's General. If you rely on the same lies by the TANoids to paint him black, you help his cause the more. 49cents: On your point no. 3, I say bring evidence or STFU. On no. 4, is it wrong to say that he will end Boko Haram if he becomes the president? Wait, how old are you? You must be very naïve to even think that Buhari will offer to help without his help being sought and especially with a presidency that has wickedly labeled him as a sympathizer of Boko Haram. 49cents: On No. 5, Is it too late that his plans have not been released? Did you read his acceptance speech or you're just too biased to see his 5 point agenda? Now I know that I have wasted my time to respond to your nonsense you put up here because most of the rubbish are based on sentiments. I thought you were real. If every Nigerian youth reasons like you, then yours is worse than the "wasted generation". 6 Likes |

Op: what do you sincerely knw about Buhari? Personal experience or unbiased sources? Gimme a real point to proof he is more a tribal bigot than jonathan...based on his previous govt. I don't want stories u heard frm politicians or fools lik abati. Do u honestly feel anyone can contest in Nigeria wtout having the backbone of the rich? Tell me one of the board of trustees of pdp or their sponsors that has a clean slate. I notice most of u guyz jst support blindly. Mostly because you are from ND(most of his supporters) and you have the gut to call someone tribalistic... u better think well to protect your future and that of your kids. Jonathan and his crew are busy securing the future of their kids with our money. Go check al of them, madueke, iweala and co. Maybe if a better opponent comes around, fine. But voting these set again? Impossible. Iweala is one of the biggest scams in this government 1 Like |

Where is al d money they claimed to have saved from subsidy, what's d state of d money seized by south Africa, in this time of austerity what's d urgency about printing new 100notes(if not to embezzle) what has happened to d Bmw bullet proof cars and d woman responsible ? Or relieving her of her duties is all about that? Ur vote is ur right. I advice u to shun tribalism and tnk well about giving ur votes to criminals. |

@op I am particularly irritated when you and your cohorts try to use the violence after the 2011 elections to score cheap political points..... The corpers that died may their souls rest in peace its the duty of the security agencies to find their killers and jail them, I am aware that a committee was set up to look into the incidence, the committee gave their findings and gave a white paper to the president..... NOTHING HAPPENED AS USUAL..... The same vigour you use to cry about the youth you claim you are one off, why don't you cry that one man duped thousands of Nigerian youth and killed about 20 of them across the federation under the guise of giving them jobs in the immigration service..... Does it even bother you that the man is a serving minister, I didn't here you scream and open threads for someone who clearly has defrauded Nigerian youth of over 2billion naira and killed them in the process, the president came to the hospital and promised that each of the victims relatives will be given two automatic slots in the service as if that will help bring back the dead..... but then again that hasn't even been done. Those are real issues except you are a paid goon, you will see through your nose that enough is enough its ok not to like GMB no one is forcing you to but stop writing and pretending as if you care about the dead, when you don't..... 2 Likes |

PassingShot: “God willing, by 2015, something will happen. They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way. If what happened in 2011 (alleged rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood,’’ Buhari reportedly told the party members who paid him a courtesy visit in Kaduna on Monday. http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-under-fire-over-threat-of-bloodshed/ if you read my post thoroughly with an objective stand you would see where i am headed but because you, like many other desperate and impressionable Nigerians think buhari with his new found pretenders in the APC are the elixir that will cure Nigeria of its maladies. all your rejoinders are bereft of clear arguments because you just want change without being part of it.............how can an old man lead Nigeria, especially who was once there........... he is an elder statesman he should remain that perhaps you have lost the hope or yet to conceive the dream that one day a fellow youth, who has a future ahead of him or her rule, will legislate laws and govern states and even the federation and you rather choose a man in his seventies to chart your tomorrow for you,,this is very tragic that you feel yourself or your peers unworthy to occupy leadership positions |

The problem is that the Buhari supporters on nairaland have been disgraced with all the lies they had about Buhari being disproven, i.e. his touted achievements. so since they have nothing tangible to present, they resort to promotion for by attacking GEJ. (What I mean is, GEJ supporter will say our comatose railways have been resurrected, GmB supporter will say GEJ has not fixed XYZ road in the XY geo-political zone. Shizz like that). This is just my observation, I am equally disappointed GEJ has no opposition, and feel insulted people trying to rub pooh (GMB as Messiah) on our face. You feel me? seankafor: 1 Like |
