Buhari has military mentality and not fit to be President, says Obasanjo/soyinka

[NewEte]

Mallam Dan Borno, we should begin now to attain that level of political awareness. Who waits for later to achieve what can be achieved now? The key is starting now, and then it gets better later. If we always wait to try stuff later, we'll always be at the back end of everything. In any case, commend both Yar-Adua and Buhari for at least submitting to the interview. It is a good first step and hopefully we'll see more of this nationwide.

Regarding your place of work, let me know when they begin hiring next time so I can apply Dan Borno.

[Dan-Borno]

Good! i think we are coming to a very good conclusion on this issue, even though, both of us stand behind our choice (that is democracy), but we all agree that the system must be changed.  We wait to see a better democratic processes in Nigeria and more participation by the youth and elite group. 

let me know when they begin hiring next time so I can apply Dan Borno.

I am sorry Malam Sabo Ete, I just adviced my management to start a very tough interview and screening before any employment hencefort.  So if you are thinking of coming in without being interviewed, you've got it wrong.  We have improved please. ;D  ;D  ;D

[NewEte]

LooooooLLLLLLLLLLLL. That's a very good one Dan Borno. Phew! You got me on that one! Good job

Buhari is definately fit to be president, he is a no nonsense man and a truthful man that can bring back prosperity in nigeria, i dont know why theses ppl hate him, how can ppl hate some one who wants to improve his country and bring it back on track???

Who stopped obj doing good for nigeria.......no one but himself, he became a candidate to get elected for presidency, he saw what was happening and what is happening and could have made a change, but just because he sees the way buhari goes about with things, it fears him to see buhari become president.
They make laws and dont follow them just cos they think they are ppl of high ranks or they dont even make any laws, so this shows that anyone is entitled to do what he wishes, i pray that nigeria gets buhari to set her straight.

Hmm amira maybe you should read the thread from the beginning and see what Ete, guest33 and myself have said about Buhari's detractions. It's not just about people hating Buhari for no reason; I find this comment of yours a bit naive. Every politician claims to have the best interests of the nation at heart but we all know that it is not always true.

Btw can you or anyone else educate on Buhari's proposed policies? What does he stand for, what are his plans for the nation?? If gogannaka's earlier comments are true then I can't say that there is much cause for confidence in him.  I see that you have been doing some 'cheerleading' for Buhari recently  :D ;D; not bad, but it is unwise to support a man without knowing of his agenda. Yar'ardua's case is even more of a mystery!

[amira]

thanks lionger for the suggestion of reading the thread from the beginining, its much better than skim reading, i can see we have our differences and i agree with you about yar adua's case being a mystery.
But am still for buhari. ;)

[amira]

Dan Borno,
You and Husnna need him. That equals 2 votes for.
Guess33, Ete, and Lionger, say they don't need him. That's 3 votes against.

I was told by a friend that Afenifere has endorsed Buhari's candidacy. This gets better and better.
So now its Ete, g33 and Lionger VERSUS Dan Borno yrs truly and AFENIFERE!! That's 3 votes against; 2 plus a million Yoruba votes for. ;)

count me in husnaa :D

.....Apart from late JTU Aguiyi-Ironsi, Buhari remains one of the few former leaders of Nigeria who has never been suspected of corruption. In fact, after his release from detention, he had no accommodation to live in. He also had to borrow money from the bank to purchase the ANPP Presidential Nomination form, the form cost 10 Million Naira, his sole source of income is his military pension....

Chei, Lionger, you didnt even allow me to land before replying my post, i just hope we are in the same camp?

Brother Lionger, check this out:

THE BUHARI PROGRAMME
For Nigeria to attain its full potential, and its rightful place in the committee of nations, it has to emerge as a just nation that is stable, secure and prosperous. To succeed in this regard, there is a need to harness Nigeria 's enormous natural and human endowments to achieve political stability, economic prosperity and security. Any attempt at a serious advancement of our country must also entail a careful appreciation of current global as well as internal realities both in the realm of political trends and policies of economic management, in a manner that also protects the basic economic and sovereign interests of the Nigerian nation. The Buhari Programme is a document which encapsulates my vision and mission, and goes further to elaborate them as they relate to the present state of our nation, its governance and management of the various sectors of the socio-economy. It is a presentation that lays the basis for a detailed blueprint for governance and development of our country, what I call Project Nigeria , which God willing, I will faithfully implement under my Presidency. Several national issues are considered in the programme with specific strategies on how to address them. These include, but are not limited to the following:

    * Governance
    * Defence & Security
    * Economic Management
    * Agriculture & Water Resources
    * Power Supply
    * Transportation
    * Telecommunication
    * Industrial Development
    * The Petroleum Sector
    * Solid Minerals Development
    * Education
    * Youth Development And  Empowerment
    * Sports
    * Women's Development
    * Health
    * Housing
    * Environment
    * Foreign Policy
    * Science And Technology
    * Cultural Institutions
    * Traditional Institutions
    * Information and Media

MY WORD OF HONOUR

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
