        NYT you are not giving the tight information. How can pastoral people move about with AK ,47 destroying farmlands, villages and setting them on fire, killing and raping women. Buhari and all heads of security agencies are Fulani they're compromised.

        Why is pressure not mounting on @realDonaldTrump to step down and/or not run for a second term? They are about the same age and @MBuhari has not caused nearly as many policy somersaults! This condescending remarks about African leaders must stop.

        That's really what the likes of @RedCardMng wants, not about having a candidate with capacity like they claim! Anyone but him, even if it will set Nigeria back for another fifty years! Political agenda of personality instead of issues...

        He brought it upon himself. He rode to the top with so many promises only for him to prove his critics right that all he had to offer were promises, but not a single thing was done to get them fulfilled. I, on my own can't wait to stop seeing his picture hung on banks' walls.

        voters should judge that if he decides to contest.And those who have been in govt before will struggle to explain why they did not make make the fixes when they were there for longer periods.explanations will be similar. They will bring in context and what was inherited.

        That's actually the biggest lie of democracy. That voters decide. Most voters vote out of influence not conscience.

        Guess the West thought he was messiah to redeem Nigeria he played vital role in destroying as a dictator. Now, his govt has destroyed all good achievements of last Presidents, enhanced corruption, allowed Fulani herdsmen to kills &rape Nigerians with impunity using AK47.
