Yes a National debate to settle it all.
They wont be needing all you ''internet rats'' defending them,they will face
Nigerians and tell us what they want to do if and when any of them is elected as President Of Nigeria and the interviewers should be selected randomly and not like the remote controlled ones who normally ask questions they are handed.
Yes! A National debate between President Jonathan (PDP) and Retired Gen Buhari is needed Asap....and whilst they are at it,can the two fo them be friendly towards each other?Their perceived fued is somewhat fuelling something scary.
What do you think?
I concur!
ReplyDeleteAnd after the debate, what follows?
DeleteViolence! Blood shed, war!
It's started already. Both will stop at nothing to hold that presidential seat.
May God help Nigeria!
Seconded! But would they? I'm tired of their memes gan....they should just come out....but buhari is trying very hard for this presidency,his campaign is even tighter than Jona's own,Jona seems very confident about this election, I thank God I wasn't up to 18 last election else I would have regretted voting Jona. He just decieved everyone with that hi "I had no shoes" "breathe fresh air" campaign...at least we had shoes to trek during the subsidy
DeleteSeriously Jona did not try,no cursing but I dey talk am as I see am
In Rivers state Amaechi tried a lot,but Jona's regime is let the rich become richer and the poor poorer.
Meanwhile,Mr INEC jega, I wasn't able to register for my PVC up until now because all the centers are filled up and I'm a first time voter. I need my card o,weda my life go better sef if I vote the right person...
Una weldone!
I disagree, Buhari has not ruled neither has in been in political power in the last 30 years, then you put him in the ring with someone who has had political power since 1999 democracy. Buhari wont know fundamental policy decisions that have been signed and how they are being implemented.
DeleteOh well its not as if Jonathan is brilliant.
DeleteThe debbate will sha still be fake, except they anwser us online, have twitter accounts. Like how atiku corresponds with the youths.
DeleteStella, save your breath not happening.
DeleteIn as much as I don't like both of them, I agree.
DeleteThe APC have been consistently saying that
Deletethe PDP have ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in which corruption,
impunity, insurgency, armed robbery and several ills of society held
sway, but at a very close look at the APC,
I am seeing Amaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP, Atiku -
8yrs Vice president under PDP, Akume - 8yrs governor under PDP, Bukola
Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator under PDP, Timipre Sylva -4yrs
governor under PDP, Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP, Aminu Masari -
4yrs Reps speaker under PDP, Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP,
Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor,3yrs Defense minister under PDP, El rufai -
4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman under PDP ...and to cap it all they
went to OBJ begging, a man who spent 8 of the disastrous 16yrs as the
maximum ruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescue mission. It
is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP, where the people
who created and perpetuated the " 16 Disastrous years" are now
dumped.... please Nigerians, what is the change in this APC?

NORTHERNERS HAVE ONLY ONE AGENDA - which is to return NORTH to power no matter what party they are affiliated with !
DeleteCould APC be the Nigerian version of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood Party? Check out this: 1. Party Leader – North: Gen Muhammadu Buhari (Muslim). 2. Party Leader – South: Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Muslim). 3. National Chairman: Abdulkareem Bisi Akande (Muslim). 4. Deputy National Chairman: Aminu Bello Masari (Muslim). 5. National Secretary: Tijjani Musa Tumsah (Muslim). 6. Deputy National Secretary: Nasir El-Rufai (Muslim). 7. National Publicity Secretary: Lai Muhammad (Muslim). 8. National Treasurer: Sadiya Umar Faruq (Muslim) 9. National Financial Secretary: Alhaji Shaibu Musa (Muslim). 10. National Youth Leader: Abubakar Lado (Muslim). 11. National Legal Adviser: Muiz Banie (Muslim). 12. National Deputy Auditor: Bala Jibrin (Muslim). 13. National Women Leader: Sharia Ikeazor (Muslim convert). 14. EX-officio Member: Muniru Muse (Muslim). 15. EX-officio Member: Alhaji Yemi Sanusi (Muslim). Yet, these people want us to believe they are PROGRESSIVES and that APC is a national party. I think APC has a hidden religious agenda..Be guided people!

ReplyDeleteI agree, Gud thing is NEDG is organising one and we'd n watch
ReplyDeleteI support this motion stella.
ReplyDeleteI concur !
Deletea debate is expected.i just hope Buhari doesn't fail because of his grammar.
ReplyDelete@ Failure at buhari Grammar. Rotfl
DeleteO shut it. How does your father speak? A Chinese man is proud of his accent. We don't care how he speaks, can he deliver? That's what Nigerians are interested in. By the way all past and present Nigerian presidents all have strong accents.
DeleteAbeg leave Grammer. Did you watch the presidential rally that took place in lagos days ago? Dayummm it was appalling to say the least.
DeleteNot about the Grammar alone, but the agenda should have been articulated by Mr president and he failed in that regards.
As for Buhari, I am not sure that I've seen him debate extensively, so I wouldn't know his capacity in terms of giving an apt speech.
However, not many are eloquent speakers, doesn't necessarily mean that they are dullards. Some are better when they act than they speak. But I can't say the same for Mr President because I see less of actions but more of defence from his spokesmen.
So really, there's nothing to look forward to in either of their debates. We had absolutely good orators in the last pre election episode. We had Chris Okotie, Tunde Bakare, Dele Momodu, Pat Utomi etc. These were men who not only expressed their purpose through verbal conviction, but are also explicitly convincing tru the power of their pen and paper. Yet, none of them made it far even with their brilliant oratory.
So really, talk is cheap.
It can happen but I don't think it will happen
ReplyDeleteBuhari is sick he might collapse on National TV that will be bad for his campaign and his already tainted reputation
@ Zik.i hope u have heard
DeleteHow is he sick? Are you his doctor?
DeleteYou gave him the sickness abi?
DeleteBuhari is sick?? Just because his skinny?? Na wa! For Tayan Taylor.
DeleteJust like your father who will soon be sick
DeletePlease wia do you get your info from?
DeleteBUHARI IS NOT SICK"!
..HABA Y ALL THESE LIES..
Chinyelu I know for a fact Buhari's not sick,however I can't say d same 4 ya papa
DeleteBuhari is sick very sick just like Yar_adua,he might end up same way
DeleteAnoy14_14 your you craze before
Yea absolutely,that won't be a bad idea but believe you me BUHARI would flaw jonathan
ReplyDeleteI'll bet #50k with any gej supporter that he won't dare turn up else his cluelessness be televised live.
DeleteFebruary 14 should come and go so we can focus on other things.
ReplyDeleteI doubt if it will ever happen,the last election GEJ did not come for his debate....let's watch n see
ReplyDeleteI support the idea but will they fulfill what is written and declared in their manifesto? Won't it still be the normal promise, wait, promise again and fail? That is what bothers most people. Let the debate kick start already and let each candidate do all he can to capture the mind of the people without necessarily spoiling the image of the other. That's my posit on this one.
ReplyDeleteThey will not agree o.
ReplyDeleteThe President is always asked safe questions here in 9ja. Even the audience is always made up of people with safe questions.
All the same

DeleteAnon 13:30. You are one of the problems in this country. Someone takes his/her time to tell us things many of us dont know and you are just so stupid enough to refer to d person's father. Hmmm, whoever trained u failed woefully. Your comment shows u dont even have regards for ur own parents if not u wont refer to someone's father in this manner. I pity ur kids cos you may also fail to train them properly.
DeleteI'm tired of seeing these 2 men's faces!
ReplyDeleteEverywhere I look it's Jona or Buhari.
Arrgghhhhhh!
Had to send my help to return the recharge card she bought for me that had APC logo.
The nerve of those people!
So they had to advertise on recharge cards and expect me to pay for it?
Nonsense!
Are they the only 2 contesting for presidency btw? Why don't I hear of others?
I and my family won't vote for any of them, that I'm sure of.
Yes we need change but none of them is the change we desperately need in my opinion.
I wish all Nigerians will revolt and not turn up for voting on the 14th.
Happy sunday oh jare.
Calm down abeg.. All this pepper body ontop recharge card? Becos e get APC logo means say network no go good?
DeleteLearn to chill okay? You're a lady.
who dash u help richard card seller oshi
DeleteYou no serious by returning recharge card that has a party logo. An advert already paid for. Ignorance is truly bliss.
DeleteU can lie for Africa, u sent ur maid to return the card because it has Apc logo on it, liar liar, forming what u are not on a blog by displaying ur stupidity with ur block head
DeleteExactly what i have been asking!
DeleteAre they the only aspirants??
Where are the rest from other parties, must it be btw these two??
Get serious please. If you and your household don't vote no one would miss you
DeleteI am with you Genny baby.
DeleteBoth men are not worthy of votes.
Both men are not Presidential materials.
People are dying everyday in a country with so much.
People are lacking basic amenities in a country with endless resources.
Check out the RANT POST, it gives you an insight into the lives of average Nigerians.
And they are hurting, hungry, in secured, jobless, hopeless and many more..
You speak the truth Genny Baby.
Speak on.
Mstchweew!
DeleteAnd they all had to hide under anonymous to diss, again.
Chickens! Cowards!
Buhahahahahahahaha!
Kill yourselves on top my matter oh, I don't mind.
It's my money and I decid what I pay for aiit?
Kisses and hugs to you dear Stella Asemota.

@PinKy, my dear I don ask tire for the names of the other aspirants but I haven't gotten any reasonable answer.
God dey sha.
You guys should chill and let people air their opinions.
DeleteDats all
ReplyDeleteI think the perceived feud between the two is mostly being fuelled by their suppprters.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more stella! I love this suggestion.
ReplyDeleteAm indifferent. Am neither here nor there. If possible they should do the debate sha but OYO is your case Stella. E no concern me.

ReplyDeleteGood idea but dey wont still keep to dere words... dey shud take it easy o
ReplyDeleteStella just called me an internet rat..a who whole me rat?????? Asin me oooooo Rat!!!! I don suffer
ReplyDeletelmao.. The phrase 'STEP FORWARD' always cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteLmao yah. I think so. This time there would be nobody to speak on their behalf.. No one to write speeches too for the both..
I Support u Stella.. They should Step Forward.. Lmao

DeleteThanx a lot Stella. I Believe that will do a whole lot better. GOD will help us in this forth coming election. *Prayer4NigeriaInDistress*10*
ReplyDeleteSeconded!!!....
ReplyDeleteGEJ all the way....can't wait to cast my vote...
GEJ 2019
DeleteGEJ would never show up for a debate cos he knows it would be suicidal for him. He ran away the last time too. A PhD that is afraid of intellectual discourse. Smh
DeleteSpot on! I am tired of all the truths and most especially the lies that have emanated in recent weeks. We do not even know what both of them have to offer us in the next for years. There's so much propaganda and lots of young people seeking merited and unmerited recognition have hijacked their campaigns. So i'll say we have a "face off". Hope it happens! Can't wait as I dance shoki ahn. Hehehe!
ReplyDeleteExactly... They should have a presidential debate on live TV and battle it out maturely. Seriously I don't know why people are being violent about this. When the elephant fights the grass suffers. Burning busses and all cause of election will not make the other loose or win. That is not a determinant factor at all! Imagine that bus given to a man on the street to use for business isn't that eradicating poverty?
ReplyDeleteEven though I am for GEJ for 2015 I still want healthy competition and this is far from being healthy! This is meant to bring out the beat from these two men and not to harm ourselves! Enough of the violence please... Enough of the killings please we are one in the sight of God. That is not the way....
If there has to be a revolution are we revolting to put the right person in? Are we sure Bihari is the right substitute for Jonathan? Let's think well and cast our votes wisely in peace please! Enough said. God Bless Nigeria. Amen
It's the super rich and corrupt individuals that will vote for GEJ.They need him in power to plunge the country to its grave.As for the masses na GOD hand wey dey.the price of kerosene kills me everyday .
DeleteScary indeed
ReplyDeleteI wish we can make this idea trend. It's high time these two parties face each other and Nigerian's and tell us what they've done and what they will do after the election. #stopthetwitterrant #debateeachother #whatdoyouallstandfor

f. 7-January-2015: 11 people killed in France, the whole nation is thrown into mourning. 14-April-2014: over 100 killed in Nyanya Bomb Blast. GEJ goes dancing at Kano campaign rally a day after.
g. Presidency’s first reaction to Chibok girls’ abduction: ‘It is a propaganda’. Took the President three weeks to believe the abduction happened.
Thank u Tony my brother. God bless you. Tell them. GEJ all d way!
DeleteTony the RETARD and MORON has spoken..Blah,blah,blah.
Delete@ Tony chop Kisses. First Anon u are a big Goat and Cow. Anon 13:54 u r the biggest Rabbit, Moron.and Retard. infact your Father. Idiot. Buhari ruled for 20 Months btw 1983 to 1985 what did he achieve. Idiot
DeleteAnon 13.54 your empty brain has no end.who is taking of GEJ n Buhari? Ode oshi. Miserable thing n least I add a Retard.
DeleteNot just the two of them, all presidential candidates.
ReplyDeleteStella na today...our pot-bellied guys in dis country don't really understand what POLITICS is all about...they need orientation!
ReplyDeleteVery nice line of thought Stella. That's how most civilized and developed countries do theirs. Down here we just abuse each other and throw shots at each other all in the name of campaigning. One of these tv stations, channels preferably because I percievr them as a fearless network, should try this out. Feb 14th is already around the corner. Let Nigerians know what we're getting into as regards whoever we vote for. God bless you Stels.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right stella.
ReplyDeleteHapi sunday
I support the motion!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just about opening their yansh for us on the media. All we want is CHANGE
ReplyDeleteMakes sense even tho" debating well won't make them better presidents. At least the "internet and sewer rats" would be out of business
ReplyDelete#gbamest....lovely suggestion.Let's see how intellectual they both are.
ReplyDeleteSeconded! But would they? I'm tired of their memes gan....they should just come out....but buhari is trying very hard for this presidency,his campaign is even tighter than Jona's own,Jona seems very confident about this election, I thank God I wasn't up to 18 last election else I would have regretted voting Jona. He just decieved everyone with that his "I had no shoes" "breathe fresh air" campaign...at least we had shoes to trek during the subsidy.
ReplyDeleteSeriously Jona did not try,no cursing but I dey talk am as I see am.
In Rivers state Amaechi tried a lot,but Jona's regime is let the rich become richer and the poor poorer.
Meanwhile,Mr INEC jega, I wasn't able to register for my PVC up until now because all the centers are filled up and I'm a first time voter. I need my card o,weda my life go better sef if I vote the right person...
Una weldone!
Well said Stella,the other day I was watching the US ambassador on tv where he called on the media to urge all aspirants to take an open pledge of "No to violence".He said he had spoken with the aspirants about taking the pledge but the idea didn't go down well with most of them,Its hightime Nigeria takes a cue from other civilised countries and set the records straight.A national debate with a public pledge should be encouraged.Yours sdkly dazzlinglizzy
ReplyDeleteYou want Buhari that cannot even remember his phone number to have a debate on a national tv? Sdk please do not say.
ReplyDeleteSays the obese whale with fat in the space meant for a brain
Delete@ Chi u r on point. Zik u are a biased fool
DeleteUncountable likes, Stella!
ReplyDeleteMadam Stella, your heart lies with the PDP but do not promote political sentiments on this blog. Buhari is not President GEJ's and PDP's enemy. He doesn't see them as such. Their greatest enemies are the Nigerian People. The people are fed up, they have endured suffering,hunger,poverty,sadness,hardships,sorrows. Stop calling the people internet rats just because they chose to express their readiness for a CHANGE. Did Jonathan come out to debate with Buhari in 2011 ? He did a sham debate on t.v.......debate or no debate, the citizens would decide. In fact it's sealed. Do not get me wrong. I'm from an upper class family and I'm well to do but I have experienced the streets and all I can do is grieve silently hoping for better days . The small child in the park hawking wares and not getting any education..the fresh graduate doing manual labor on the construction site..the pregnant widow mourning the death of her soldier husband who died defending his country but no pension to take care of his family and unborn children..the civil servant who served his country from 8am-4pm only to die waiting for his pension...collapsing education system...why didn't they raise N21billion to fund the power and education sector. We are tired of failed promises. At least let another person promise us..if he fails then we vote him out too. Let's decide our future and that of our unborn children...
ReplyDeleteLet the election come and go, so we will rest for once
ReplyDeleteSo true!!
ReplyDeleteAm not intrested in their national debate.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the essence of the debate when all their plans will be to get into that seat and sweep all their points under the carpet!
How many debate/ manifestos have we heard in a long while, N all how far where they implemented!!
May the lord give us the right man come feb 14th... Amen
Lets always remember to pray for the peace of Nigeria.

ReplyDeleteLet the election come and go, am ashamed of d country called nigeria, look at Britain and d way they handle election nd governance,Nigeria is still backward fighting foolishly,burning vehicles and all sorts, I pray for a violent free election come February
ReplyDeletecalling your readers and visitors 'internet rats' in any disguise is nice. keep it u okay. you think we are all senseless kids here right?
ReplyDelete"Ibi ti aiye bati ba alakori lo tin je" - sdk's case
DeleteIs Buhari strong enough to stand for that long? GEJ till 2019. Again to understand Buhari's english nah wahala…phi phi phi phi phi…That is all i hear when he speaks.
ReplyDeleteFor d debate to flow well, Buhari gats use hausa language na as english language dey hard am reach, abi una wan kill d man before him time? Ba energy. Dis one wey ordinary campaign dey fall am here n there, presidential debate fit kill am o! Buhari need rest abeg not torture. -D Power of Alchemy
ReplyDeleteWe all know who ran away from a televised interview the last time only to have a sit out with an entertainer. The stage has always been set, the other gladiator just needs to turn up & I'm sure this time he will because he's desperate & badly wants to win a second term.

I agree....they should both have a national debate.
ReplyDeleteI am sure GEJ will decline and not show up.
Does it matter! They will say the same thing noni.
ReplyDeleteSaying that someone is ugly does not make you prettier.......wise word
ReplyDeleteVery good idea.
ReplyDeleteit helps people to make up their mind who to vote for.
Just what i and hubby were discussing yday night.

ReplyDeleteMe thinks a national debate is just a waste of time. It'll only show who has better oratorial skills. They'll just come and speak English. We can go and read their manifestos.
ReplyDeleteWe need action not words. We should judge and decide who is a better leader based on prior accomplishments and not on promises.
