But who has the final say

The Tribune just like the courts now!

Again, I think
some Igbos are still at war with Buhari, 45 years
after the war ended. So, if by divine act, Buhari
wins, what will be the fate of Igbos.?

This seriously calls for concern.

He is good alright but since i cant say same thing about his sponsors..... well

What election does.

kahal29:
The Nigerian Civil War ended on January 15, 1970. Naturally, Nige­rian soldiers occupied every part of Igbo land and used school premises as their make-shift barracks. Less mal­nourished young men were sus­pected to be defunct Biafran soldiers and some ladies suf­fered at the hands of the ram­paging soldiers.

My village, Umueleke, in Ehime Mbano of Imo State, was one of the communities occupied by the Nigerian soldiers with their natural provocative utterances. The village shares a common boundary with Mbaise in Imo State, where we assumed to be the operational headquarters of the Nigerian soldiers within our area during that period.

On a certain day in March 1970, one of our brothers that fled Lagos to Biafra with his new car, but could not use same during the war for fear of being confis­cated by Biafran Soldiers, per­fectly concealed same throughout the period of the Civil War. He brought out the car in March of the same year and drove same to our market square where the sol­diers were stationed.

Unfortunately, the soldiers harassed him out of the car and confiscated same, luckily for him there was a divine intervention as the crowd of onlookers saw a con­voy coming from the Mbaise axis of our community and suddenly a young and slim officer alighted from the military jeep. He en­quired why the crowd gathered and why the man was weeping; the man informed him of how the soldiers had beaten him up and confiscated his car.

The slim officer was a captain with his name-tag Buhari. The officer reminded the people that the war had ended and such thing should not happen. He quickly ordered for the release of the car and also reprimanded the soldiers and as a result, our community enjoyed the usual freedom.

When he became the Head of State, I discovered from his facial appearance that it was the same Buhari that showed human con­cern to our brother.

But since Buhari indicated in­terest in ruling the country once again, I have read many commen­taries on the pages of newspapers and electronic media that are very uncomplimentary about his life and I wonder whether it is the same Buhari I met in 1970 who was full of passion for people.

However, from my encounter with GMB then, I came to the conclusion that he is not only hu­mane, but a stickler for justice as demonstrated by his insistence that my brother’s car is returned immediately and which the sol­diers did. That he ordered that the car be returned and the soldiers involved in such act be detained for stepping beyond their bounds depicted Buhari as a compassion­ate man and a disciplinarian who abhors maltreating innocent civil­ians. After all, Buhari could have joined forces with his men to con­fiscate the car, but he did not be­cause he believed that the war had ended and people should be set free form bondage and discrimi­nation. But he said “mbanau ooo!”

Of course, the lessons learnt from the above are: that a leader must stand for justice at all times; that a leader must take a decision when necessary; that a leader must instil discipline in his lieu­tenants; that not all Northern sol­diers were wicked after the war and that GMB is misrepresented by many Nigerians who see him as evil and tribalistic.

Indeed, from the lessons, one can deduce that GMB is far bet­ter than our South-South brothers who confiscated our property im­mediately after the war and nick­named it ‘abondoned property’ particularly in Rivers and Bayel­sa. Many Igbos died while in pur­suit of their legitimate rights over their property. My family mem­bers were victims and I nearly lost my life.. Again, I think some Igbos are still at war with Buhari, 45 years after the war ended. So, if by divine act, Buhari wins, what will be the fate of Igbos.?

stories that touch. APC can lie. #SayNoToBuhari..

hush15:


While I appreciate your story, iw will also like to here your encouter with Yemi Osinbajo, Tinubu and the likes to help me make a better informed decision...

I am an APC supporter but just like others we know some element in APC re also corrupt. This is nija Politics, u n I know dat ur integrity alone cannot make u president of this con3.

The underlying question dat u should ask is ll buhari harbor corruption in his admin?

Demmzy15:

Buhari wasn't responsible for the sentencing! The accused were taken to the TRIBUNALS and then judged, he wasn't the judge. Get your facts straight!

What fact is clearer than having Ekwueme locked up in Kirikiri and Shagari under house arrest? Which tribunal tried their case and determined that Ekwueme must be jailed and Shagari left to go free? Please tell me another story jooor.

mulattoclaro:
If wishes were horses beggars would ride. Buhari will only become a president in sambisa or his Daura cattle ranch. Are some Nigerians this naive and dumb? A man who threatened the sovereignty of this great country and said the streets will be soaked with the blood of monkeys and baboons if he's not returned to power. A man who said an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north. A man who said muslims should only vote for muslims. A man whose kinsmen are busy wreaking havoc in various communities across the middle belt and north central region. What change are you hoping to get from a man surrounded by tinubu and Amaechi? Two corrupt elements. Gej might not be the best but he's the only good alternative. Do you know what this man has in store for Nigeria? Too bad many of you are so blind you can't see. I will pick gej anytime and anyday. Buhari can never be the president of Nigeria. Mark this day that I said this. If. Apc had presented a better candidate I would have vote for Apc but Tinubu's presence at apc has spoilt everything. How can one fight corruption with tinubu and Amaechi as your buddies?

Shut up and speak for yoursef.

Gej broke d kingmaker-King theory so I beliv some cronies surrounding GMB ll scramp moment he get in2 aso rock.

The kind lies APC dey use buhari name lie
fit mk am shout JESUS


nonsense script to deceive gullible Nigerians

A good man is always a good man. Thank God for those who still have the courage to speak the truth. I pray that GMB wins so that we can have some sanity and regain our respect as a nation. In any case, may God's will be done.

My humble general

egift:
Everyone that has met Buhari will tell you how good the man is. It is only the corrupt politicians who do not want to stop looting Nigeria that are tarnishing Buhari's image.

He is good yet he sacrificed many promising Corp members on the alter of his political selfishness.
" If what happens in 2011 should happen again, by god's grace the baboon and dog will soak in their on blood". Is this the kind of man u want as your president and commander in chief or a man who said " no blood of a Nigerian is worth my ambition". One thing u don't knw is that agents of darkness, knowing that they are dark, frequently camouflage to be agent of light. Maybe u have decided for darkness, but I, my family and two-third of Nigerians has decided and declared for LIGHT. Change can be anything, but LIGHT is TRANSFORMATION and TRANSFORMATION brings GOODLUCK. For this #WeHaveDecidedForGOODLUCK. And declare #NeverAgain.

Thanks my brother for taking time to share your story.

In a nut shell, you made a wrong judgemental error, thinking that Buhari of 1970 is the same Buhari of 2015. Age has taken its toll. He might be a kind hearted man but the truth is HE IS TOO OLD TO RULE NAIJA.

To complete your thesis, pleaze ask VP Ekewuene and we will share his experience too before you make a reasonable conclusion.

Every coin has two sides!

pls, who knows how I can find my way out of here. ??

Go to the north and you will also hear countless testimonies of how GEJ has changed peoples life.dey are just playin politics

Buhari is the man, but with tinubu

#ExactlyMyThoughts

story for the Gods..

I was in PDP but now am in APC...following what ALHAJI SULE LAMIDO said about APC and BUHARI

These are people who keep to their words regardless of pressure facing them..

He SAID the APC has only 2 OUTSTANDING PERSONALITIES, of which they are GMB and the VP... with the Rest being corrupt.

GboyegaD:
So many stories affirming Buhari is a stickler for justice.This tells me there is great hope for our country when he is elected.

How much can an honest man do, when he surrounded by crooks and rogues. Remember that the executive is just one arm of the government. Are all members of the senate & house of reps going to be like Buhari? Does he have power over that arm of government. Do u think these same people shouting "Buhari, Buhari" will not be the same people shouting for his impeachment when he refuses to settle them? Or you think after people like Tinubu have spent all these kind of money, then he will go home and relax. Odiegwu!!! Plus that statement that Buhari made that he will make Nigeria ungovernable for Jonathan in 2011 & we saw how BH terrorised our land, just leaves one wondering whether he is so vindictive.

What if the war had not ended? What would have happened to your brother and his car? Check out all the states where APC are their governors, what exactly are they doing? They are full of propaganda. It is not until you get to such a place that you really know the truth. I just pray that God intervenes in this country's governance.

Captain Muhammadu Buhari.

Don't mind pdp.

Buahari might be a good leader, discipline and honest but d truth is dat he is old and shud be resting/ retiring... u must have been told in ur primary school that u are the leader of tomorrow. I ask u when wud u start leading when old men wud nt hand over or step down. Think abt it

so what is the indication that Jonathan represdnts the young generation? How many of your so-called youths are in his government?

GEJ too is old in my opinion. Why didnt pdp sponsor a young man of 25 to 35 years old as in the days of first republic??.
NIGERIA YOUTHS NEED REVOLUTION, SUPPORTING CORRUPT JONATHAN AND RIGID BUHARI WILL NOT HELP THE NATION OR THE YOUTHS TO GROW.
THE YOUTHS LACKS CONFIDENCE. WE HAVE MADE OURSELVES AN INSTRUMENT FOR OLD POLITICIANS TO BE USED. WE ARE HALLELUYAH BOYS TO THE OLD POLITICIANS.

imagine YPD alliance with pdp to discredit coming elections. where is the credibility from the so called youth?
Young Ibori is in Jail
Young DSP of Bayelsa is a convicted criminal.
young Lucky Igbinidion is a convicted criminal
young Fayose have no time to run his state and wasting hard currencies on defamatory adverts.
young FFK have corruption charges with efcc
young diziani madueke has skeleton in her closet shielded by president
young Reno Omokri is wanted in the USA with allegation of Fraud
young minister Obanikoro has no credibility.
and many others...

I know nothing, but if Naira can fall from ₦155 to ₦250 to a dollar in few months, then I know right.

Businesses are downsizing/shutting down, importers are in massive debts, salary-earners wages, are barely worth more than toilet paper [If your salary was ₦155K ($1,000) same time last year, it is worth a paltry $620 now!].

Only a fool would still stick with more of the same.

And don't come and yell that nonsense about falling oil prices . . . greatest oil plunge (prices) ever was in '08 from $147.27 to $33.55.

And Naira didn't commit suicide then. How do you go about selling oil for the highest prices ever, over the longest period ever, while depleting the country's reserve from $62b to what $30b or thereabout?

At the same time incurring more debt doing what exactly?

Wow... If this story is true then my cap is off for the General, however, when you read about his actions in the 80s and his ethno-centric tendencies while occupying office as dictator leader and PTF chairman, one tend to wonder what changed?

Metro line worth about $750 million meant for Lagos state was cancelled and a compensation of $600 million was paid to the company for damages.

Same slim man of integrity executed over 80% of PTF project in the North and within the same period misappropriated over N27 billion. The question is: what changed?
Same man that openly called for the implementation of sharia across all geo-political region to me appears on stable.
Kodos to him for his actions in the 70s but the question remains; what changed? What will change now? What change are the APC selling to us?

kayboy4y:
Even the worse PDP members know how humane is the General. The prblm is that truth is always bitter in the mouth of those that hate it. Anyways, come rain come sun, GMB all the way.

.... U Ar right The Truth Is just Too difficult For Them To say.... Whether they Like It Or Not change will surly Come.....
