Pres. Obama sends message to Nigerians ahead of 2015 elections
In a video posted on Youtube today by US Embassy Nigeria, US president Barack Obama sent a message to Nigerians asking them to stand up against violence and express their views peacefully during the upcoming election. Transcribed version of what he said in the video below...
Hello. Today, I want to speak directly to you—the people of Nigeria.
Nigeria is a great nation and you can be proud of the progress you’ve made. Together, you won your independence, emerged from military rule, and strengthened democratic institutions. You’ve strived to overcome division and to turn Nigeria’s diversity into a source of strength. You’ve worked hard to improve the lives of your families and to build the largest economy in Africa. Now you have a historic opportunity to help write the next chapter of Nigeria’s progress—by voting in the upcoming elections. For elections to be credible, they must be free, fair and peaceful.
All Nigerians must be able to cast their votes without intimidation or fear.
So I call on all leaders and candidates to make it clear to their supporters that violence has no place in democratic elections—and that they will not incite, support or engage in any kind of violence—before, during, or after the votes are counted. I call on all Nigerians to peacefully express your views and to reject the voices of those who call for violence.
And when elections are free and fair, it is the responsibility of all citizens to help keep the peace, no matter who wins.
Successful elections and democratic progress will help Nigeria meet the urgent challenges you face today. Boko Haram—a brutal terrorist group that kills innocent men, women and children—must be stopped. Hundreds of kidnapped children deserve to be returned to their families. Nigerians who have been forced to flee deserve to return to their homes.
Boko Haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all that you have worked to build. By casting your ballot, you can help secure your nation’s progress.
I’m told that there is a saying in your country: “to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done.” Today, I urge all Nigerians—from all religions, all ethnic groups, and all regions—to come together and keep Nigeria one. And in this task of advancing the security, prosperity, and human rights of all Nigerians, you will continue to have a friend and partner in the United States of America.
God Bless My Country!!...GOD BLESS NIGERIA..........Please, all this Political Parties Calling To know who I want to vote for....what's ur biz with who I'm voting for again mbok!
This is a president. I am inspired by this little speech. I wish I could say the same for Jonathan. Has he even come out to say anything that is closely or remotely related to this? God help us.
D- PinPionter Says: The fear is that Jonathan did not distant himself from people like Alhaji Dosumo ( the former Niger Delta militant boss) who has been preaching violence if Jonathan losses. Also, he got the endorsement of the man who canceled the first free and fair election in Nigeria.
We appreciate his goodwill message. The onus is now on us to defend our unity. Do not allow yourself to be used for any sort of violence. Let the selfish politicians use their sons and relatives
We asked your government to sale weapon for us to tackle boko haram u refused so what friend are u talking about? You only go were you stand to gain....
He turned his back from us when we needed him to fight boko haram... now he suddenly showing 'concearn'. Hope this man isn't an enemy of the progress of nigeria in disguise?... My honest opinion though
I thought the APC debunked the fact that Nigeria is the largest African economy I pray for Nigeria & may God Almighty keep us all safe irrespective of who wins the election God's will must be in this country in Jesus name, Amen
Quite noble! Thanks to you Pres Obama. Nigerians are peace loving and that I believe will be the hallmark of the 2015 general elections. God bless Nigeria and friends of Nigeria.

Nyc tnxs presido of life, Nigerians una don hear, nyc speech watched it live on Channels News! Boko haram wants 2 destory nigeria, so nigeria cast ur vote 4 d rte person.
Thank you, President Obama of the USA. You campaigned for CHANGE and it came. We are now crying for CHANGE here in Nigeria. Help us pray for the positive change we're asking for because we in Nigeria also prayed for you. Change is the only constant thing on earth. Long live Nigeria! Say BUHARI!! Say CHANGE!!!
Pretender Obama. I use to like you but even your own people rejected your policies by massively voting for Republicans in the last mid-term elections, giving them majority in the house of reps and senate. Why did the US refuse to sell arms to Nigeria to fight Boko-Haram?? Keep your advice to yourself, we don't need it. Only God knows what your motive is.
The president cannot unilaterally sign a law that will amend a Nigeria constitution to an Islamic State without passing through both National Assemblies after three readings. We have had some National Conference to mend the constitution and which one has seen the light of the day.
At the Assemblies you have both major religion and also those that believe in other gods. All these will agree before such decision to Islamize Nigeria will possible.
When Buhari was Head of State, he never took Nigeria to OIC or attend any of their meetings till date. But Jonathan have attended their meeting once since he became President.
Every religion strives to get more followers. And on the Christian, we have held millions crusades where pronouncements have been made to converts every soul that agrees to Christian. Though from history the Muslim method have always being through the sword and blood but time have changed when that is not obtainable now. For example what has been happening in North Africa and Middle East, it is just a few MENTALLY DERANGED (less than 5% Muslim) that want JIGHAD. The war to stop these Elements are being fought by their fellow Muslims with less input by Western Forces.
On Nigeria fight against Boko Haram, you have both Christians and Muslims soldiers and in our Allied Forces (Cameroon, Chad & Niger) on one front fighting these Terrorist. Tell me how possible is it to Islamize Nigeria? In the last 500 years, no Country have have been Islamize through the sword and blood. SO WHY NOW?
Our great Country have been divided on Ethnic and Religion lines never seen before since the history of Nigeria by President Jonathan, his political associates including Pastors who establish and ran their churches for their family interest - family members takes over the church after the death of a Pastor(RCCG exclusive).
President Jonathan government is a FAILURE and we need to campaign BASED on PERFORMANCE AND NOT RELIGION OR ETHNICITY. We have played politics on the above sentiments and our Country HAVE NEVER MOVED FORWARD. Should we continue to reason BACKWARD IN THIS MODERN ERA?
On our economy being the largest in Africa, I still ponder on which economic indexes the government made their judgement? I was home the last time and I saw POVERTY BEYOND COMPARE. Who is fooling who?
Lol Obama is a joke,What friend and partner?A Friend that cant come to our Aid when our existence is threaten?A Partner that cant sell us weapon when we needed it to defend our sovereignty?Obama please go back to Washington and leave Nigeria alone,We are ok,Thanks for your concern!
Why does this Piece of S#!t think he knows whats best for everybody. Go take care of your obamacare and thats about to crumbling and all your other failed policies. The last time i checked you have an "F" in international affairs. keep your advise to yourself. F A G G G O T.
Obama why? this man why support Nigeria? what is your problem? why ask this evil to continue mr obama?
Thomas Jefferson writing the American declaration of independence said and I quote ''When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'' This idea goes back to Athens of the 5th century BC when Socrates spoke of a law of God respected by all Barbarian and Greek alike or in the Antigone of Sophocles from the 5th century BC when Antigone appealed to a law of God that is the same for all, all over the world and justify any actions that might break the law of men. Cicero defines natural law in his works of moral values as ''the law of God revealed in the reason of His universe'' It is one law valid in all places and in all times. It will be the same in Athens and in Rome and in every future nation to come for that law rest with God and there are consequences for breaking the law of God.
I hope the United Nations will be alive to its responsibilities this time around and that the international communities will stop playing games with African lives. The lost of 3.5 million Biafran lives can never be in vain. That will run counter to the principle of natural justice; laws of nature and nature's God. The people of Biafra have waited all these years for reason and common sense to prevail; for justice to be done so that old and current wounds can start to heal and the spirits of 3.5 million Biafran men, women and children can start to rest in peace. It is time for the restoration of the Republic of Biafra. God bless people of goodwill around the world and God bless Biafra.
If Nigeria be your friend, abeg give me Visa make I comot here come see my friend o. Which Naija politician wan here this peace talk. Lai lai! Na do or die we dey for this side. Thank you shaa.
This is to tell you how powerful Nigeria really is in Africa. I don't think any other African country's election has received half as much attention from the west as has Nigeria's. Everyone is reminding us to not fight because if a war breaks out in Nigeria, it will be chaos considering that we are the ones who usually save others. The world can't handle a country as big as Nigeria going into civil war right now
Thank you Mr. President but unfortunately a section of this country do not see things this way, they see this country as theirs and thus their will be done but God pass them! Them go soon see!!!!!
God bless you sir. We Nigerians know that our country is blessed but these corrupt leaders won't let us be! Anyways God is already saying something. It is well. 2tim 2:1-3. @Bishop_Dammy
What do you mean they should sell arms? I am glad they did not sell it. Do you know how many more will die? That will be an Assured Mutual Destruction. Who losses most after that? Nigerian Government and the poor people in the north. You no nothing about war so just stut the fuck up
Pls dnt call him a fool ... His problem is just poverty .. i understand his case .. he needs spiritual cleansing and deliverance .. neither gej nor buhari can salvage ur poverty issues .. turn to God
Y r u pple so angry. U come here 2 transfer aggression. U hide ur face n reign insults at each oda. 4 wat so u can feel good. 2 fake. A negative mind will only c a negative world.
Thank u @ Godblessnaija. Thank u Mr Barak Obama, for this wonderful msg, we receive from u. The Nigerians people are getting closer to that change, please all Nigerians should wake-up wherever you are enough is enough, I pledge to Nigeria my country to vote Buhari and Osinbajo on 28 of march, to be gentle, loyal on election day, to say NO TO GEJ and PDP party again with all my strength, to protect my PVC and uphold no violence and trouble.. So help me God.. Enough is enough PDP and GEJ corrupt Government must go. #ihavedecided to vote for #change#. May God continue to bless Nigeria! Amen

#smh - Obama trying to protect the interest of Americans. LOL. Why didn't they invite PDP during his first inauguration?
#SMH - why did they invite only Buhari from Nigeria for his Inauguration???
#MamaWar said that if you are in Labour go and vote first before you go to the hospital; tells you how much HATRED this woman has for other Nigerian women and children (even those yet unborn).
#Message from the Pope: Accompany the victims! Come to the aid of the poor! Teach the youth! Become promoters of a more just and fraternal society!
We shall peacefully go out to vote for Buhari. Since Jonadaft paid in advance to OPC to distrupt elections in the south west, I hope he got this message. He will end up in Hague.
Nice, but, I hope this speech is also on radio Nigeria and Voa cos those guys that are planning violence no dey watch youtube oo. If not life for don better for them.
In case you are too simple to figure it out, Obama says, ' Boko haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all that you have worked hard to build. By casting your ballot, you can help secure your nation's progress' Obama cleverly uses the operative word, SECURE, not CHANGE your country's (recently recorded) PROGRESS. Ladies and Gentleman, this Kenyan muthaf***** just tacitly and surreptitiously endorsed the clueless, but safer choice. Think before you plunge headlong again, my dear fellow Naija people!
Talking of selling arms to Nigeria will someone in their right senses sell arms to Nigeria when the president said Boko haram are his brother so what do you want to do with the ammunitions it will surely go to wrong people hands to use against the citizens
ta! dey use style campaign for person u hear, dey use style. Just let nigeria be, focus on ur dumb country that teaches 12 years old how to wear condom, gay, not disciplined children amongst others. just shut up and stay in ur country with ur mouth shut and ear shut to whatever happens in 9ja.
Some of us will just come online and post nonsense. For the person condemning Obama for not Selling us arms. I think u should learn how do a lil research and findings before condemning people...
This statement by obama is a covert interference in our internal affairs. How many times has a Nigerian leader made a speech telling Americans what to do about their elections or any other issue concerning their country. This statement is creepy. I am irritated about it. An election is not a big deal. The Israelis had their elections and the world did not go up in flames. We will have ours and there will be a few skirmishes as usual but Nigeria will move on. I am old enough to know this.
nice one obama Some of us will just come online and post nonsense. For the person condemning Obama for not Selling us arms. I think u should learn how do a lil research and findings before condemning people..
I'VE NOT HEARD THAT SAYIM NG BEFORE OOOO! AMERICA WANT TO "IMPOSE" A "SAYING" ON US NOW.....Barrack, pls meet "Oyibo princess" to update you with our "sayings" abeg abeg, i no fit shout!
Clueless idiots are here insulting Obama. Where you people there when he refused to sell arms to your government or is this just another lie that your clueless government is selling to you? I can't say I blame those idiots. When you've been governed by clueless mofos for 6 years, no wonder y'all are beginning to sound like clueless Jonathan.
Pple wil just come here and drop rubbish comment like frustrated idiots. pple should learn how to do research and reason before commenting. Blaming Obama for ur problem when the man is simply telling u / that the power to change ur situation in ur country is in your hands, go out and vote. For the ryt person tho.
It a pity that all these Abokis here will not get to read this and they will strike on that day.they are even warming up and most of them are underage to think of.
Lol @ Sox. You know they are the ones using soldier to scare and threthen people. They are the ones using the police to say do not wait after voting at the polling booth because I don't know where that is done on earth. They are the ones that empowered Opc and signed a contract of 9b naira with them to watch pipelines when we have navy. Please sit back and don't make comments when people that ur Gej as destroyed their finances as he has chopped the country finish. If you want to reply me please tell me what exactly Ur so called Gej as done. I will rather have an active, considerate thief who will deliver even if he steal than to have Gej who will fail and toil with people's lives, steal and still not do anything but push blaims.
Your government was not ready to fight Boko haram. Your government was rather using the CAN's presidents jet to loot money to sa. They were rather using 2b to feed in aso rock. He is a lazy minded and wicked individual that will be jailed by icc by Gods grace.
Bcos if there is war it will affect what they get from us. No b say dem like us,na coz of their exploitative gain...u think say oil na small thing? Look at him talking of boko haram,when we sought for help,did they respond? Wicked people.notice that he mentioned us being d "largest economy"...
@edo juju . Ur a spiritual man . We all have to vote Jonathan for peace to rain. Bcos these apc bastards started banging the drums of war not know pdp has a louder drum
Even Obama himself acknowledged the truth, all the progresses he mentioned being largest economy was achieve under GEJ, the same man they are fighting against...America is really our friends and well wisher? How come they refused to sell ammunition needed to tackle boko harams to us? We didn't say give us for free but sell they refused, I believe he is doing this cos their plans are not working out. Nigerians be wise for once...My prayers today for everyone of you and myself is that God will make our enemies sing our praise. Vote No Be Fight.
It took another president to whip another president into shape... did he have to do this during OBJ'S regime. shameless GEJ please vote GEJ out anyone but GEJ Martins Onovo NCP is an intelligent candidate

I use to like you but even your own people rejected your policies by massively voting for Republicans in the last mid-term elections, giving them majority in the house of reps and senate. Why did the US refuse to sell arms to Nigeria to fight Boko-Haram?? Keep your advice to yourself, we don't need it. Only God knows what your motive is.
God bless Obama
NA DEM GO KILL AM, NA DEM GO FIRST ASK WHO KILL AM. GIVE WATER KEEP CUP PEOPLE DEM.

Thank you Mr President👍
great advise from a great man. Wish GEJ can render this short and articulated speech.... SAI Buhari Saturday...
...Nice words! I like!!
oga thank you but the speech is not clear enough.. thanks for your concern though! http://www.omobar.blogspot.com
Thank you sir, I pray they listen and heed to this.
We don't need u or ur countries' GOODWILL.
Awwwwww...
The president cannot unilaterally sign a law that will amend a Nigeria constitution to an Islamic State without passing through both National Assemblies after three readings. We have had some National Conference to mend the constitution and which one has seen the light of the day.
At the Assemblies you have both major religion and also those that believe in other gods. All these will agree before such decision to Islamize Nigeria will possible.
When Buhari was Head of State, he never took Nigeria to OIC or attend any of their meetings till date. But Jonathan have attended their meeting once since he became President.
Every religion strives to get more followers. And on the Christian, we have held millions crusades where pronouncements have been made to converts every soul that agrees to Christian. Though from history the Muslim method have always being through the sword and blood but time have changed when that is not obtainable now. For example what has been happening in North Africa and Middle East, it is just a few MENTALLY DERANGED (less than 5% Muslim) that want JIGHAD. The war to stop these Elements are being fought by their fellow Muslims with less input by Western Forces.
On Nigeria fight against Boko Haram, you have both Christians and Muslims soldiers and in our Allied Forces (Cameroon, Chad & Niger) on one front fighting these Terrorist. Tell me how possible is it to Islamize Nigeria? In the last 500 years, no Country have have been Islamize through the sword and blood. SO WHY NOW?
Our great Country have been divided on Ethnic and Religion lines never seen before since the history of Nigeria by President Jonathan, his political associates including Pastors who establish and ran their churches for their family interest - family members takes over the church after the death of a Pastor(RCCG exclusive).
President Jonathan government is a FAILURE and we need to campaign BASED on PERFORMANCE AND NOT RELIGION OR ETHNICITY. We have played politics on the above sentiments and our Country HAVE NEVER MOVED FORWARD. Should we continue to reason BACKWARD IN THIS MODERN ERA?
On our economy being the largest in Africa, I still ponder on which economic indexes the government made their judgement? I was home the last time and I saw POVERTY BEYOND COMPARE. Who is fooling who?
Good one Obama
I hope nigerians can yield 2 dis. We must shun violence and embrace peace.
What a great message.

Obama why? this man why support Nigeria? what is your problem? why ask this evil to continue mr obama?
Thomas Jefferson writing the American declaration of independence said and I quote ''When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'' This idea goes back to Athens of the 5th century BC when Socrates spoke of a law of God respected by all Barbarian and Greek alike or in the Antigone of Sophocles from the 5th century BC when Antigone appealed to a law of God that is the same for all, all over the world and justify any actions that might break the law of men. Cicero defines natural law in his works of moral values as ''the law of God revealed in the reason of His universe'' It is one law valid in all places and in all times. It will be the same in Athens and in Rome and in every future nation to come for that law rest with God and there are consequences for breaking the law of God.
I hope the United Nations will be alive to its responsibilities this time around and that the international communities will stop playing games with African lives. The lost of 3.5 million Biafran lives can never be in vain. That will run counter to the principle of natural justice; laws of nature and nature's God. The people of Biafra have waited all these years for reason and common sense to prevail; for justice to be done so that old and current wounds can start to heal and the spirits of 3.5 million Biafran men, women and children can start to rest in peace. It is time for the restoration of the Republic of Biafra. God bless people of goodwill around the world and God bless Biafra.
You are just a poor unfortunate soul. With no clue.
U a big fool
If Nigeria be your friend, abeg give me Visa make I comot here come see my friend o. Which Naija politician wan here this peace talk. Lai lai! Na do or die we dey for this side. Thank you shaa.

which would you vote for.

Obama is a big idiot,they should leave Naija alone jaree, they don't help when we need help,but they want to advice us.
This is to tell you how powerful Nigeria really is in Africa. I don't think any other African country's election has received half as much attention from the west as has Nigeria's. Everyone is reminding us to not fight because if a war breaks out in Nigeria, it will be chaos considering that we are the ones who usually save others. The world can't handle a country as big as Nigeria going into civil war right now
Thanks!!!!!!! Sir!!!!!!
...My name is simple CALL ME KYKE...
Thank you Mr. President but unfortunately a section of this country do not see things this way, they see this country as theirs and thus their will be done but God pass them! Them go soon see!!!!!
obama ... Literate... Gej literate ... Buhari .. cattle rearer
God bless you sir. We Nigerians know that our country is blessed but these corrupt leaders won't let us be! Anyways God is already saying something. It is well. 2tim 2:1-3. @Bishop_Dammy
Because Nigeria is a corrupt country , and the US does not offer help to countries filled with corruption.
What do you mean they should sell arms? I am glad they did not sell it. Do you know how many more will die? That will be an Assured Mutual Destruction. Who losses most after that? Nigerian Government and the poor people in the north. You no nothing about war so just stut the fuck up
Pls dnt call him a fool ... His problem is just poverty .. i understand his case .. he needs spiritual cleansing and deliverance .. neither gej nor buhari can salvage ur poverty issues .. turn to God
Let those who have ears, let them hear.
Busy Fingers.
Y r u pple so angry. U come here 2 transfer aggression. U hide ur face n reign insults at each oda. 4 wat so u can feel good. 2 fake. A negative mind will only c a negative world.
You're a fool! GDP is not representative of the well-being of the people. Economy means market! Go school, you no gree. Sai Buhari

#smh - Obama trying to protect the interest of Americans. LOL. Why didn't they invite PDP during his first inauguration?
#SMH - why did they invite only Buhari from Nigeria for his Inauguration???
#MamaWar said that if you are in Labour go and vote first before you go to the hospital; tells you how much HATRED this woman has for other Nigerian women and children (even those yet unborn).
#Message from the Pope: Accompany the victims! Come to the aid of the poor! Teach the youth! Become promoters of a more just and fraternal society!
We shall peacefully go out to vote for Buhari. Since Jonadaft paid in advance to OPC to distrupt elections in the south west, I hope he got this message. He will end up in Hague.

Nice, but, I hope this speech is also on radio Nigeria and Voa cos those guys that are planning violence no dey watch youtube oo. If not life for don better for them.
In case you are too simple to figure it out, Obama says, ' Boko haram wants to destroy Nigeria and all that you have worked hard to build. By casting your ballot, you can help secure your nation's progress' Obama cleverly uses the operative word, SECURE, not CHANGE your country's (recently recorded) PROGRESS. Ladies and Gentleman, this Kenyan muthaf***** just tacitly and surreptitiously endorsed the clueless, but safer choice. Think before you plunge headlong again, my dear fellow Naija people!
Bravo!
Go to hell Obama!!!!! We know you very well. You evil moslem killing terrorist Modafuka!!!!
You want to bring gay marriage to Nigeria, we say NO. You decided to 'deal' with us? Mumu No.1
You will work naked in the street of America soon....
Leave Nigeria alone. We have a God who will see us through.
its obvious whom he wishes we vote for
Through
God punish that your stupid mouth.
Talking of selling arms to Nigeria will someone in their right senses sell arms to Nigeria when the president said Boko haram are his brother so what do you want to do with the ammunitions it will surely go to wrong people hands to use against the citizens
Anon. Please you don't need to curse just go out on that day and vote.
ta! dey use style campaign for person u hear, dey use style. Just let nigeria be, focus on ur dumb country that teaches 12 years old how to wear condom, gay, not disciplined children amongst others. just shut up and stay in ur country with ur mouth shut and ear shut to whatever happens in 9ja.
Some of us will just come online and post nonsense. For the person condemning Obama for not Selling us arms. I think u should learn how do a lil research and findings before condemning people...
This statement by obama is a covert interference in our internal affairs. How many times has a Nigerian leader made a speech telling Americans what to do about their elections or any other issue concerning their country. This statement is creepy. I am irritated about it. An election is not a big deal. The Israelis had their elections and the world did not go up in flames. We will have ours and there will be a few skirmishes as usual but Nigeria will move on. I am old enough to know this.
Obama just dey talk him own. Sha let's pray for peace
Which gobe? Na threat be that? Na mumu like you them dey brainwash to carry out electoral violence. Ode.
Obama just dey talk him own. Sha let's pray for peace
GEJ we dey ur side
nice one obama
Some of us will just come online and post nonsense. For the person condemning Obama for not Selling us arms. I think u should learn how do a lil research and findings before condemning people..
I'VE NOT HEARD THAT SAYIM
NG BEFORE OOOO! AMERICA WANT TO "IMPOSE" A "SAYING" ON US NOW.....Barrack, pls meet "Oyibo princess" to update you with our "sayings" abeg abeg, i no fit shout!
They Abadoned u? U re mistake. They left bcos our govt were nt truthful. Ask b4 passing comment
Very wise thought and question.......
Clueless idiots are here insulting Obama. Where you people there when he refused to sell arms to your government or is this just another lie that your clueless government is selling to you? I can't say I blame those idiots. When you've been governed by clueless mofos for 6 years, no wonder y'all are beginning to sound like clueless Jonathan.
Pple wil just come here and drop rubbish comment like frustrated idiots. pple should learn how to do research and reason before commenting. Blaming Obama for ur problem when the man is simply telling u / that the power to change ur situation in ur country is in your hands, go out and vote. For the ryt person tho.
It's not a little speech, maybe you meant to call it a brief speech.
It a pity that all these Abokis here will not get to read this and they will strike on that day.they are even warming up and most of them are underage to think of.
Many times...
Well said Mr president, lets hope it all goes well March 28
Thank you jare president way get sense correct!!!
US (n others) has always been concerned/involved with nigerian affairs long before u were Born. U made absolutely no sense.
The resurrection of onyx..
~D great anonymous!
Thoughts of a kindergarten
Hmmmm...nitwit.
Lol @ Sox. You know they are the ones using soldier to scare and threthen people. They are the ones using the police to say do not wait after voting at the polling booth because I don't know where that is done on earth. They are the ones that empowered Opc and signed a contract of 9b naira with them to watch pipelines when we have navy. Please sit back and don't make comments when people that ur Gej as destroyed their finances as he has chopped the country finish. If you want to reply me please tell me what exactly Ur so called Gej as done. I will rather have an active, considerate thief who will deliver even if he steal than to have Gej who will fail and toil with people's lives, steal and still not do anything but push blaims.
Your government was not ready to fight Boko haram. Your government was rather using the CAN's presidents jet to loot money to sa. They were rather using 2b to feed in aso rock. He is a lazy minded and wicked individual that will be jailed by icc by Gods grace.
stupid comment!
Bcos if there is war it will affect what they get from us. No b say dem like us,na coz of their exploitative gain...u think say oil na small thing? Look at him talking of boko haram,when we sought for help,did they respond? Wicked people.notice that he mentioned us being d "largest economy"...
anon 3:56, characteristic of buhari supporters, always violent and insultive. e go soon clear for una eye.GEJ all the way!
you call him ode? pls who is your father, does his name ring a bell?
Leave am. Make en try am this time. Let one person from the south die in the north. They will see no sleep for 5year and this Na swear with my juju
@edo juju . Ur a spiritual man . We all have to vote Jonathan for peace to rain. Bcos these apc bastards started banging the drums of war not know pdp has a louder drum
Even Obama himself acknowledged the truth, all the progresses he mentioned being largest economy was achieve under GEJ, the same man they are fighting against...America is really our friends and well wisher? How come they refused to sell ammunition needed to tackle boko harams to us? We didn't say give us for free but sell they refused, I believe he is doing this cos their plans are not working out. Nigerians be wise for once...My prayers today for everyone of you and myself is that God will make our enemies sing our praise. Vote No Be Fight.
Shut up.. they left bcos Nigeria still refused to comply with their Gay shit.
It took another president to whip another president into shape... did he have to do this during OBJ'S regime. shameless GEJ please vote GEJ out anyone but GEJ Martins Onovo NCP is an intelligent candidate
The Almighty God,let the truth Prevail this coming Elections.
Lolz
