During 2011 election he said he had no house of his own, now we a suddenly seeing houses he built wt borrowed money.well done

Nigerians don't read, dis man said he av atleast 1million in his account. It means his money isn't less dan 1million, but can be 1zillion. Dis means if EFCC catches him today wt 1trillion n accuse him of money laundry, he will tell dem dt he neva said he didn't av money bt dt he av atleast 1million which means his money is infinity. Nigerians think twice bc dis man is smart n a criminal. Vote wisely

You king rubbish! Learn to write English 1st before you start hating. I seriously believe poverty is not only your problem but if you can Open your inner mind(that's if you have one) you will grab the discernment of change. You can Google my words.

Truth is, Buhari might not be the saviour but he's 99.9% better than your drunk president. Keep quiet if you have no tangible thing to say. Nigeria is not LIB....stop speaking junks to her.

@duby is it about the man or what he can do? It's your type that goes for beauty and not character.
That's what a positive change sounds to me.
It can't be worse that it already is, so it's either Buhari makes it better or make it as worse as it already is. So why not give a try?

GMB is as bad or even worse than others. he is just a bad businessman who wants to remain a sucker all his life. If he cant manage his legitimate income which is several millions a month, how can he manage our national resources. Am sure youths of today want real prosperity and not to count the number of cows. We ought to have gone past GMB era of primitivity.

This is not even Obahiagbon's type of grammar and yet a lot of people still don't understand it. He said atleast which simply implies that he has more millions in his account. Atleast means MINIMUM. Nigerians please read and understand the manifestos of these politicians before voting.

It is very very possible that he is saying the truth oh, because he has a lot of bills he is paying at the moment, Like sponsoring boko haram and all. That needs a lot of money you know. That's why he wants to be president so he could make back all his lost in his boko haram investment and other ventures like campaign. :)

I hate seeing this stupid question and I always feel like knocking the people who ask this question. Let me tell you why I get pissed seeing that stupid question. We, young Nigerians are very lazy and like to stay passive.
The Nigerian constitution is quite liberal regarding who can contest for government positions. Once you're up to the required age requested by the constitution, you can vote and be voted for, whether you are yound or old. It's an open ground.
However, lazy ones like you expect everyone to leave the scene so that you can whine. Even,the young ones who are venturing into politics,how many of them do you lazy ones support? 9ice was campaigning a few weeks back and a lot of lazy ones like you were dissing him and saying he should go and rest cos he has nothing to offer. Yet,the same lazy ones like you are still saying "these old men should and retire". If you like,don't go and pick up a political form o...stay there and be waiting for manna to fall from heaven.

Amen. Time for change.

God Bless Nigeria.

I wonder How short sighted Nigerians can be. he didnt say he had only 1million naira, he said at least, atleast means their is more, if he had said he had at most, then you people can be saying and arguing all this crap.

I have atleast 1 million naira closes the lower bound and leave the upper bound to infinity, kai may nigerians be smart abeg.

it gives me a headache that 98% oc commenters didnt pick out the flaw in that, all of you just looking at B.O.B's dick.

I am sorry for this country.

Sayinf i have atleast one million naira in my account is same as saying i have atlease ten naira in my account, its just a least. no most.

It's every Nigerian's business. Such acts are done to promote accountability in government. Check your knowledge of governance and see. Late president Yar'Adua also did it and I think president Jonathan did it while he was serving as Yar'Adua's VP. All of a sudden,he (Jonathan) became president and when he was asked to do the same thing (declaration of assets), he refused and said "I don't give a damn".
Honestly, for the most part,Nigerians deserve all the bad leaders they get cos we choose to be ignorant intentionally and hate to wake up from that and know what's in the best of our interests.

You're thinking rightly dear compatriot.

In the military, once you're a general,you're forever a general. "RTD" is only written when you're being specific on the rank of the general eg. General Buhari,General Ihejirika etc are all correct. On the other hand,you put "rtd " when being specific like in the following examples : Major General Buhari (rtd), Lieutenant General Ihejirika (rtd) etc

1. Even the great critic OBJ publicly told
the world that GMB is an upright man.
2. Not many people know that his 1st
daughter is married to an Igbo man from
Anambra.
3. He exempted Christians from performing
duty on Sundays. “When his Muslim
soldiers asked him to exempt them from
duty on Friday, he told them the bible says
Christians should rest on the 7th day, the
Muslims should show him where the Koran
says they should rest on Fridays.
4. As Head of State he slashed the number
of Muslim going on pilgrimage by 50%.
5. His driver and cook for the past 10+
years are Christians yet some uninformed
Nigerians say he is a bigot.
6. It is a pity that some people failed to
understand that PDP deliberately
capitalised on the gullibility of Nigerians to
paint him black. This they did in order to
keep their loot and ensure that he never
gets the opportunity to send them to gaol.
How many Nigerians would hold the
appointment of government, minister of
petroleum, PTF chairman and head of state
yet don’t own a house in Abuja?
7. In the last 12 years, he has not gone for
pilgrimage in Mecca.
8. Love him, hate him, you cannot take his
integrity away from him.
9. Well done Gen Muhammadu Buhari. You
have stood the test of time and character
with a swagger. It is time we set the
records straight.
10. No wonder, Gov. Akpabio told Obj: "we
have messed up, don't leave us alone, I
don't want to go to jail and my children are
too young".
11. Sadly, these are people Nigerians
celebrate as good leaders; those that have
messed up and don't want to go to jail.
12. Nigerians are like someone who give
kudos to a thief for robbing him of all his
possessions.
13. We can decide today to vote Buhari or
continue with those who have "messed
Nigeria up", but Buhari will go down in
history as the greatest servant who has
consistently offered himself to serve
Nigeria. He that has mind let him think.

Calls for 'total' Sharia in Nigeria
2001-08-27 21:32

Lagos - A former military ruler of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has called for the introduction of 'total' Islamic law across the country, reports said on Monday.

Buhari, who ruled Nigeria from a coup in December 1983 to his ouster in 1985, told a seminar in Kaduna, northern Nigeria, at the weekend that the strict Islamic law code known as the Sharia should be introduced in full across Nigeria.

"I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria," Buhari said, quoted in press reports.

"God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country," Buhari said.

Northern Nigeria is mainly Muslim but southern Nigeria is mainly Christian and has led criticism of the introduction of Islamic law in a dozen northern states in the past 18 months.

Africa's most populous country has been shaken repeatedly in the past by religious unrest. In February 2000 between 2 000 and 3 000 people were killed by Christian-Muslim riots in Kaduna over the introduction of Sharia.

Call for Sharia across the country

Buhari's comments were interpreted by the southern-based papers as a call for the imposition of Sharia all across the country, even in the mainly Christian south.

"Buhari calls for Sharia in all states," was the headline of the respected newspaper The Guardian.

Buhari's comments were defended by supporters as simply a call for the full implementation of Sharia in areas where Muslims predominated.

But the comments are the second by Buhari that have courted controversy after he called earlier this year for Muslims to vote at the next presidential elections only for someone who would defend their faith.

This was criticised by the press as a call for voting along religious lines, as well as an attack on the current president, Olusegun Obasanjo, who is a Christian.

Buhari made the latest comments at a seminar organised by the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, a newly set up body attended by northern state governments and Islamic scholars.

"It is a legal responsibility which God has given us, within the context of one Nigeria, to continue to uphold the practice of Sharia wholeheartedly , and to educate non-Muslims that they have nothing to fear," he said.

"What remains for Muslims in Nigeria is for them to redouble their efforts, educate Muslims on the need to promote the full implementation of Sharia law," he went on. - AFP
