Because we said we want change, GEJ gave us N10 change!!!!! For more jokes, text GEJ to 2015

As far as I am concern... No victor no vanquish.
Nigeria is for all of us..be u IBO,Hausa,Yoruba,nupe etc.
All we want is Nigeria to get better.
Its for our own good.
I want the south east and south south to come on board.
The IBO's need Yoruba and Hausa
The Hausa need IBO and Yoruba
The Yoruba need Hausa and IBO
All other tribes need wazobia as wazobia needs them.

For now,the only known popular person that had elements of truth in him is GMB.

He said he will assemble the best of economic experts to tackle our economy.

He said he will consult with the best of soldiers to tackle book haram.

At this juncture I advice PDP,APC,apga, sdp people to forget our differences and vote APC for positive naija.

I must commend the tinktank of APC like amaechi,tinubu,rocha,oyegun,kwankwaso,fashola etc for this victory they are about getting come febuhari

Speak for urself. I'm a Nairalander and i dont love GEJ!

FreeGlobe:
PDP will sweep kaduna. I hope Buhari is spending his pension money for this rented crowded crowd or does Amaechi have to bear the whole burden

Oh my God!!! so the asylum's door has been swung open again today, the inmate has been set loose!!!

See mammoth crowd !!!

On this evidence, it's a landslide victory for the People's General.

Change is here...

donphilopus:
Where are those piasts who were saying that the piasticated Samboribobo and the clueless Ramalan Yero would deliver votes for Jonathan?! Is it not audible to the deaf, visible to the blind and vocal to the dumb that the 2011 margin would be a childsplay compared to the one that awaits the clueless one come FeBuhari 14th?! Abeg eee, Sai Buhari.

Now the people of Kaduna have come out en masse to witness the triumphant entry of the People's General to Kaduna.

You honestly think that Kaduna State is only made up of Hausa-Fulani. Shey Election is next month?
these empty vessels ...

NaijaTalkTown:
May the curse of Allah be on those who use Allah's name for evil and selfish purposes. Those like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram and the poster i am quoting shall perish in ja'anama by the grace of Allah.
Nigeria must remain multi-religious as the prophet himself warned his followers not to force Islam upon anybody.

#SAI BUHARI

ameen, the guy is sooo fucking funny. They will all enter hell fire by Gods grace.

[size=14pt]A Must Read: How Buhari Fought Corruption...[/size]

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future. Of course, we know that human beings change. What the claims of personality change or transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a polity, must be answered in the public space, not in caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the contrary, all evident suggests that this is one individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-ruler that the nation cannot call to order.
Buhari – need one remind anyone - was one of the generals who treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to put in appearance even though complaints that were tabled against him involved a career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.
Prominent against these charges was an act that amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a citizen under a retroactive decree. Does Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of three youths - Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe (29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite plainly, one of those three – Ogedengbe - was executed for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was committed. This was an unconscionable crime, carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international community – religious, civil rights, political, trade unions etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crime, Tunde Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule, under governance by fear.
The execution of that youthful innocent – for so he was, since the punishment did not exist at the time of commission - was nothing short of premeditated murder, for which the perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this violation of our entitlement to security as provided under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if power itself had so coarsened the sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment, what should one rightly expect after they have been rescued from the snare of power” At the very least, a revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation should engender reticence, silence. In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving office he has declared in the most categorical terms that he had no regrets over this murder and would do so again.
Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The crime that General Buhari committed against the entire nation went further however, inconceivable as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most profound negations of civic being. Not content with hammering down the freedom of expression in general terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly applaud our media – those battle scarred professionals did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and oblique, elliptical references to sustain the people’s campaign for a time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a democratic time table however remained rigorously suppressed – military dictatorship, and a specifically incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a people of volition in their own political direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves. Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only turned their nation into a slave plantation, but forbade them any discussion of their condition.
So Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his traditional medicine that had proved so effective after years of struggle with asthma!
Nor must we omit the manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of his ‘corrective’ rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and was near universally detested – except of course by the handful that still benefited from that regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buhari’s coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not against Shagari’s government but against the opposition. The head of government, on whom primary responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable apportionment of guilt and/or responsibility.
And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians were yet to eat from dustbins - escaped through the same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup had not been staged, after all, for the immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-wing vultures, but for the military hyenas.
The case of the overbearing Secretary-General of the party, Uba Ahmed, was even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to demand special landing permission, since his passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was airborne. The delighted airport commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he vanished a few days after and reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories have become calcified should explore the media coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the vanished act of this much prized quarry and his response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who had shot his way into power on the slogan of ‘dis’pline’, it was nothing short of impudent.
Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison? Recall, if you please, the ‘judicial’ processes undergone by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial. Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a single crime, so once again he was returned for trial, only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle under Shagari’s reign of terror.
The conduct of the Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was one of the few figures of rectitude within the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.
Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?
One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.
Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir - to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the former Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

Today I found out why Buhari really cried. If people wud love me. Half as much as this man is shown love i'll cry every day. I mean non of these dese dudes were given a dime and dey still came out......
...... you can't just buy this kind of love

Malawian:

You honestly think that Kaduna State is only made up of Hausa-Fulani. Shey Election is next month?
these empty vessels ...

most of the christians I know are going to vote for Buhari and so far I know only 1 muslim that will vote for pdp. I don't think even 20% of kaduna will vote for jona

All hail the peoples General, You are always welcome anywhere you go..

Just as he has done in recent times with the PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was the motivating yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice, then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the opposition in general, or for those within the ruling party who had showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and patriotism.
Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief for traditional rulers and their relationship with governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled to all the rights, privileges and responsibilities of any Nigerian citizen. This royal duo went to Israel on their private steam and private business. Simply because the Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly chastisement of errant pupils. Since when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian nation require the permission of a head of state to visit a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a visa.?
One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set down as guides to public probity. Example speaks louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt themselves from the disciplinary strictures imposed on the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a policy for public well-being. The story of the thirty something suitcases – it would appear that they were even closer to fifty - found unavoidable mention in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN, written long before Buhari became spoken of as a credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national currency, the Nigerian borders – air, sea and land – had been shut tight. Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even cattle egrets.
Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that needle’s eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-camp, Jokolo – later to become an emir - to facilitate the entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment – as I later discovered - of the Customs Officer who stood firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer, the former Vice-president is now a rival candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time, General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly negotiable.

Are you just returning to Nigeria from abroad?

If not, how come you didn't notice that your fellow GEJ supporters have LONG ABANDONED all these old stuffs you wasted so much of your time to regurgitate here?.

Your fellow PDP goons have abandoned all these old stuffs because NONE of them seemed to be working at all; as they dwelt on them, the people's general conquered more and more minds, even in the SE, SS and the MB.

Now that you are back in the country, let me help you with the new points of attacks that your fellow PDP desperados had devised in your absence (and you can thank me later):

1. Buhari has no certificate
2. Buhari does not know his phone no.
3. Buhari does not pronounce his VP's name correctly
4. Buhari jailed Nwobodo even though the money he stole could not buy a car.
5. Buhari has cancer
6. Buhari will be flown abroad for urgent medical attention

or

7. you can go for the most outlandish of them all, and that is, Buhari will die before the age of 75!

By trying any of the relatively new antics of your PDP bed-fellows I listed for you above, you would at least be seen as being abreast with the current antics of your party, instead of embarrassing yourself publicly here by spewing the old garbage that even your PDP attack dogs have long discarded, for being so effective!

royalblood21:


Are u stupid or what.... are u not ashamed of urself? are u crazy or what, are you mad? Can't u see change everywhere!!! U must be stupid! .... u post a picture n everybody z afraid to HIT like.....

check it again, I have close to 50likes now.

I pray there will be no crisis before, during and after the election because the rate at which APC supporters are campaigning is very alarming.
I live in Kaduna, you people need to see what I witnessed today on my way back home. I believe in "change" but I don't believe in a violent change.
Politicians don't need to maim and kill people before selling their ideas to them.
In kaduna today, APC supporters destroyed PDP's posters and banners. If PDP supporters should come out and retaliate, that would have lead to another horrible crisis. As if that was not enough, they occupied the expresses and forced everyone to say "changee". If you refuse to say that, they won't allow you to go free. If there is a PDP poster on your wind screen they will tear it away violently and they did many other things which can aggravate crisis.
When are we going to have a violent free campaign and election in Nigeria?

This is Sambos state and Its clear that like in 2011 Him and his hat wearing friend Jonathan would be beaten black and blue at the polls

Sai Buhari

APC Change

Shagari speaks after 32 years. These are what he said to AIT news reporter in Sokoto state yesterday and i humbly quote

"Jonathan may not be the best, but I can mention 3 to 4 breakthrough in Nigeria that occurred under his regime.

Under this administration, train is now back in Nigeria after about 30yrs of neglect (infact, my 27years old grandchild boarded train for the first time in his life in 2014)

First Government to construct modern Amajiri schools & 12 Universities.

First Government to construct cargo Airports & ensure all zone in Nigeria has an Int'l airport.

First Government to eradicate the high level corruption in the distribution of fertiliser.

And the very first Government to start diversifying Nigeria economy back to agric after Nigeria lost its agricultural glory in the 70s.

Now I ask, what are Buhari DEVELOPMENTAL strides as HEAD OF STATE? "

bought crowd! who are those people there, those who were paid 500 naira to show up and stand under the sun for Buhari! Who is the man who has put fertilizer to farmers @ a subsided and afforded rate and the man who eliminated corruption from the fertilizer sectors for Kaduna farmers? vote wisely people! Vote GEJ
