President Goodluck Jonathan.
Hundreds
of Arewa leaders who received Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso,
in Lagos on Sunday, said they rejected hundreds of thousands of dollars
which was offered to them by President Goodluck Jonathan when the
President visited the state two weeks ago.
The leaders, who were drawn from the 20
Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of the
state, distanced themselves from the endorsement given to Jonathan by a
group.
Speaking during a meeting at the Ikoyi
home of a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Tinubu, the Chairman,
Arewa Community in Lagos, Alhaji Sani Kabiru, said those that endorsed
Jonathan were impostors.These are the comments of some readers......
"He said on the day of the endorsement, some people bought turbans at
Agege and went to visit Jonathan at the State House, Marina, posing as
emirs only to deceive the President." Who else wont deceive the mumu of otueke collect monie? Boko Harm don collect their own, Pastors don collect their own, Yoruba Obas don collect their own, I beg Arewa, make una collect your own ooo. The only loser na the masses wey they suffer suffer, but we go show am say khaki no be leather on march 28. March on for Buhari. Sai Buhari.
Buhari accepted dollars from Tinubu, who also accepted dollars from
Atiku during APC primary election. So, your ''Holier than thou''
attitude here makes no sense at all.
Hear what I read, as everyone must have also read, from the above
report, which gives credence to your exact description of who Mr
President and the majority of his followers are, that:
"On the day
of the endorsement, some people bought turbans at Agege and went to
visit Jonathan at the State House, Marina, posing as emirs only to
deceive the President."
Hear another shocking revelation that:
"So,
some of them (those who camouflaged in turbans as emirs) were fake.
They went to collect dollars but cannot tell anyone because they are in
hiding. ....and (we) asked them why they went (to collect dollars from
Mr President) but they said they only collected dollars but they would
not vote for Jonathan."
Infact, this is a lesson to every greedy
leader who always thinks everything is all about money. Money may only
buy you fame at some point in time but it will not give you integrity to
lead people.
I watched on virtually all the TV stations yesterday
a programme titled "GEJwinsit" where all kinds of sponsored artistes,
students, businessmen and women, members of PDP and other sponsored
Nigerians were praising Mr President, all dancing "for dollars" in
celebration of Mr President's second-term re-election bid.
But to
my greatest surprise, one young sponsored man came out and then began to
say all kinds of dirty, abhorrent things about the person of General
Buhari, APC and its entire leadership. He was saying all that with
confidence, h*tred and hostility while Mr President was there smiling to
all what that unruly young man was saying about a man who is old enough
to be his dad.
But most unfortunately, virtually every other
speaker who came out to speak on the podium in praising and 'stylishly'
expressing his or her allegiance to Mr President's second-term bid never
left except he or she spoke, either directly or by implication, one or
two such dirty things about the person of Buhari and his party.
I
then began to ask myself what kind of a country is this where a sitting
president will only sponsor people with a lot of taxpayers' money to
slander or discredit the opposition figures and party? I humbly asked
myself: Do we truly deserve this kind of president?
Instead of presenting his score card or apologising to Nigerians
seeing he got nothing significant, GEJ's campaign is centred on GMB,
what is did, what he is and is not. I don't see any progressive Nigerian voting for him on that count. Take the looted dollars, maybe.
Very different. In fact PDP in its campaign acts much like an
opposition which gets its legitimacy by picking holes on the policies of
the ruling party.
Well I don't even what some of represent s ,insult to the President
of this country is acceptable to you ,but to gmb or tinubu is not
acceptable, imaging a fool who is a nobody calling the President of this
great country ,names becos of elections u no what up at not
cultured,sorry ooo!.
you are suffering from poor upbringing for insulting the president. I
believe you are a product of single parent upbringing because you lack
manners, show moral decadence
of course the deed is done. We all know that no human being has more
power than God. God's wish will always be. Buhari is the next president
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I can tell you are one of the OPC guys. You have mouth now because
GEJ has mobilised you. Bloody thief, you guys are all collecting blood
money. You will all face the wrath of God for your support of this
government of thieves. I know you dont have a brain, but the rest of
Nigerians do.
He treats us like one. We have to let him know that we are not fools.
we cant keep taking this. Our mumu don do. Nigerians love suffering in
silence and that is why our leaders will keep taking advantage of this
silence.
I can understand how vexed you are, so also a number of Nigerians.
The only that can be expressed is to vote him out. Our leaders are
taking undue advantage of the populace.
please before you start making comments. dont expose your ignorance
and lack of proper education like GEJ. Go and take time to improve your
english spelling and grammar. FYI it is cursing and not causing. OLODO.
Please make sensible statements next time. Will you be happy if I
should wish you and your father dead. God is the giver of life and the
taker of life.Any one predicting death is just playing God and tempting
fate. If God wants you to die before burari, you will die before him,
and there is nothing you can do about it
Both Jonathan and his wife are a good match. They both seem to have
inherited terrible dull genes from their parents. That fat hippopotamus,
is that a wife or chip seller?
Is it not a shame that your parents were genius yet never got the
opportunity to be councillors in a local government but a "dull genes"
couple rose to become president and first lady in your country? Sometime
ago Fela came quite late to a show organised by the student union of
Yabatech and some students started abusing him calling him a mad man.
What did the great Agbami eda said to them? He said " If I am a mad man
you that paid money (gate fee) to watch a mad man should see a
psychiatrist".
And whether the money is clean or not doesn't matter abi ? And yet
when (IF) GMB gets elected he is supposed to deal with corruption. He
would the way he dealt with corruption last time around - SELECTIVELY.
He jailed VP Dr Ekueme while the main chap Shagari was put on cozy
'house arrest'. At least Buhari is consistent in turning a blind eye to
some while dealing severely with others. He knew IBB was going to
overthrow him, he did nothing even when Idiagbon advised him to round
them up as is the norm in military. They suspect one of plotting a coup,
you are a goner ! But since IBB is from the North, no problem ! I am
tired of this present government like everybody else but GMB doesn't cut
it for me as being suitable for the job. If they have put a younger
more dynamic man I may have been convinced. I don't give a hoot where he
is from North, Middle belt anywhere just DELIVER !
There is not need for you to be a goner No matter the issue may be
only God knows and me He put in office the man that will listen to the
wish of the poor masses!
Hear what I read, as you must have also read, from the above report
in which Mr President was said to have been deceived as he must also
have been deceived on several similar occasions by Nigerians on account
of his gr**d:
"On the day of the endorsement, some people bought
turbans at Agege and went to visit Jonathan at the State House, Marina,
posing as emirs only to deceive the President."
Hear another shocking revelation that:
"So,
some of them (those who camouflaged in turbans as emirs) were fake.
They went to collect dollars but cannot tell anyone because they are in
hiding. ....and (we) asked them why they went (to collect dollars from
Mr President) but they said they only collected dollars but they would
not vote for Jonathan (in the presidential election)."
Infact,
this is a lesson to every greedy leader who always thinks everything is
all about money. Money may only buy you fame at some point in time but
it will not give you integrity to lead people in a way that will bring
real fame.

The Hausas that I know like Chua-chua & free money. Why are they
telling GEJ that he is been defrauded if really they want him to waste
his money, are they not meant to keep quiet. Kabiru is speaking out now
because the Dollar reign seems to be tearing the northern community
apart. In my opinion, GEJ money is not for people to vote him but to
pacify people once he rigged the election. The usual trend of spending
government money for election has always been there, we as a nation need
to look for solution because no party in power will address it.
People will collect the dollars because of the situation of the
country, do u know how much 1 thousand dollars is now? my neighbor 's
said her group got 10k usd but she and her husband will vote buhari how
many Nigerian can reject free money?
Clown gejisadisaster. You are as dull as your apc candidate. GEJ came
in 2010. We are in 2015. Simple mathematics u dont know. Subtract 2010
from 2015 answer is 5. Moron!!

Generations of foreign royals - particularly from the Middle East - have learned to be military leaders at the UK's Sandhurst officer training academy. But is that still a good idea, asks Matthew Teller. Since 1812, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, on the Surrey/Berkshire border, has been where the British Army trains its officers. It has a gruelling 44-week course testing the physical and intellectual skills of officer cadets and imbuing them with the values of the British Army. Alongside would-be British officers, Sandhurst has a tradition of drawing cadets from overseas. Many of the elite families of the Middle East have sent their sons and daughters. Perhaps the most notable was King Hussein of Jordan. Four reigning Arab monarchs are graduates of Sandhurst and its affiliated colleges - King Abdullah of Jordan, King Hamad of Bahrain, Sheikh Tamim, Emir of Qatar, and Sultan Qaboos of Oman. Past monarchs include Sheikh S...
