forget the media hype. elections are not won on twitter.

I agree but some buzz would have been nice

shachris:
I am a die hard APC supporter but what i do not understand is why buhari is dodging debates?

I want to categorically say it here that if buhari does not participate in any debate before the elections, i will not vote for him.

Do not vote for him if you don't want to. Participation in debates have never been a decider of political contests in Nigeria. Obiano performed very poorly in debates last year but he still won. Jonathan dodged all debates in 2011 but still won. If Buhari decides not to participate in debates, so be it. It would have no effect whatsoever on his policies as a president.

Happy Sunday

mrmetoo1:


I actually follow quite a number of people and no one is talking about it. Anyway just thought to ruffle you guys feathers a little bit. Enjoy the show, as for me I'm not going to waste fuel on the debate, not a ManU fan so not going to waste fuel on that either. So unless the power transformation kicks in, then no debate for me

a presidential debate in going on in your country involving your current president and none of your friends are talking about it? smh....you are really following the wrong crowd, mate.

Nigeria of today is not the same of 2011 and even 2013. There are lot of enlightened educated voters out there that are still undecided.

i have never seen APC as an analogue party. i have always thought APC would be the pacesetters. they should have even been the first to engage in any debate.

Oga, if you want to know what Buhari has to offer, visit the APC manifesto thread, something PDP doesn't have; all they do is insult and peddle blatant lies. The latest being that Buhari married Aisha when she was only 9years old when in fact she got married at 19!

If it is gonna take a debate alone for you to vote Buhari regardless of what he has to offer, which are all contained in the party's manifesto, then goodluck to you.

dude, anybody can write a manifesto. it's a dime a dozen. I want to hear the man speak. I want to hold him by his words.

Will Jonathan win this debate? NO

But his attendance and subjecting himself to the democratic process is what matters to me

The Arrogant Buhari who clearly have no respect for Nigerians decided to dodge the debates just as he refused to fill his form correctly

This excercise will help deepen democracy in Nigeria and once again APC/Buhari are too arrogant to participate. Just as the refused to participate in confab!

the false confidence these APC goons are exhibiting is really scary. Imagine snubbing a national debate and still insist that they must win. I wonder what would happen if they do not win.

If you haven't been hearing him speak then I think you need to see a doctor or get some hydrogen peroxide to flush your ears.

Just looked up to see that you typed "APC goons". Didn't think I was trying to educate a r3tard.

#FRSONG.

you mean those prepared speeches he read from paper? niqqa pls.

No light here to watch the debate

shachris:

So he had a prepared speech when he faced Amanpour. He had same when he faced that BBC reporter. He had one when he fielded questions in Chatam House. Smh.

I edited my post above.

Go suck on that.

Some of you have your heads so deep in the president's rump all you can see and smell is his shit.

tomzman:

same here. but i charged my inverter and got it ready for it. Because it is today that i actually want to make up my mind on who to vote.

I won't vote on one generic manisfesto. tell me to my face how you would do the things you are planning to do.

mikeansy:


It's not a maths exam, it's not trigonometry or co-ordinate geometry. The answers are not exact!

What does it really mean to say a debate organiser is compromised?

The questions are not going to be further from each individual talking about their own policies from economy to security to jobs to foreign affairs!

So what exactly is Buhari afraid off?

Do you really expect Buhari to go to a debate at NTA that has consistently aired a domonizing documentary about him? Do you expect Buhari to share a stage with GEJ that has continuously sponsored lies and supported death wishes on him?

With or with no debate, GMB will win.

shachris:


yeah, right. if this is how APC is, then i must tender an apology to my fellow nairalanders for allowing my hate for GEJ to becloud my judgement. APC members are very selfish and full of make believe confidence.

Don't take it the wrong way bro. But that's just the truth, will your leaving have an impact? Maybe...but you should also know that as you leave, there'l probably be five people replacing your exit.
And I don't see how you being 'highly placed' makes any difference either, 'cause even If I work under you, you definitly can't influence me on who to vote for. And I'm pretty sure the people you have influence over have their own individual convictions.

shachris:

Den wat is ur prob Mr Oga? Nobody is forcing u to vote for GMB, u can vote for kowa party or better sill vote for GEJ so dat ur vote won't waste.. GEJ didn't appear in 2011 presidential debate and heaven did nt fall

This is not a debate. it is selected question and answer

shachris:

So all the CNN and Aljazeera interviews plus many interactive sessions he has held were also from prepared speeches?

typical APC redhead.

Amanpour and Chatam house have PVC abi? he should come and answer questions asked by NIGERIANS...haba.

Why not vote for GEJ and continue the transformation with him?

shachris:

He has been doing that through town hall meetings. Vote for GEJ and save your energy.

Ok!! Anyway just in case you haven't heard not a lot of people are interested in what the president has to say anymore but like I said enjoy the show

Typical anencephalous goombah.

Do you suffer some auditory affliction?

Buhari will not participate in any debate if it pleases him. Get that into your vacuous skull.

it's a generic question. Question like 'what would you do about corruption" can never have one answer. Tell us how you plan to solve it your own way...simple

PassingShot:

town own meetings with his supporters? He should come on national TV and tell how he plans to achieve the change he is proposing.

this UDP guy has totally won me over. the guy is so composed and articulate....i think i might vote him.

He is young, intelligent and very very composed.

we need change, yes, but not APC kind of change.

shachris:

And why should GEJ of all contestants should still be asked what he intends to do after 5 years as the president? Now, that's another issue. The debate is not even a debate in the real sense of it. It's just a Q&A session which makes it even worthless.

Leave the two timing mor0n. Who is he to even call anyone a goon? Some cretins just feel too important here. Folks that can hardly stand a mile close to where others do in real life would come here posting trash like airheads from the mid-twenties.

He can shove his PVC (if he has one) up his brown eye for all I care.

shachris:


don't be so sure. I am quite highly placed and a lot of persons listen to me. I will not vote PDP but i might vote KOWA or the other igbo man.

lol thats a better option...i will vote for GMB cos i know he and PYO have what it takes...i don't need a debate..the town hall interactions did it all

Sincerely,i am very much disappointed with Buhari and Apc as a whole. For days,i have been waiting for this debate,i saw this as an opportunity for them to win more electorates to their camps.i wanted to hear their practical measures on changing Nigeria.Unfortunately,buhari absconded for reasons best known to him.,so am no longer interested in Apc change.From my assessment of this debate,i am going to vote for martin onovo,the Ncp party representative.Buhari has just lost my vote.
