SEASON OF STONES AND PURE WATER SACHETS ON GEJ

It feels as if President Goodluck Jonathan has suddenly become an attractive magnet for flying stones and soaring pure water sachets anywhere he goes. Only last week was he attacked by angry youth in Katsina while on his way to visit the late President Umaru Yar'Adua family.

But yesterday's attack on his campaign train in Bauchi was more intense than the earlier one as the angry youths chanting anti-PDP slogans and hailing "Sai Buhari!" blocked the road leading to the Emir of Bauchi's palace as GEJ was heading there to pay homage.

I Will Beat Buhari in a 400M Race! - GEJ

So our dear President has decided to let Nigerians know that he is still strong, capable and fit to take on anybody at anytime. A video of him working out in the gym somehow managed to find its way on to the internet. The video showed the president exercising and also playing tennis.

This is in precedence to a statement released from the presidency through the presidential media office that "Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan dares General Muhammadu Buhari to join him on a 400M race and see if he (Buhari) would not collapse before the end of the race."

Eh!...I sincerely hope the retired General would not attempt to take up GEJ's challenge o. Abi what is the meaning of all these? How can the two most foremost men in the country take to the stadium together? What if they both collapse before the end of the race? They should stop playing all these dangerous gambit between themselves for the sake of a nation of over 170 Million people please.

But seriously...who do you think would win the race if the two men take to the race track? I want to know o because yours faithfully is curiously curious about the outcome of such challenge or aren't you curious to know who would win as well?

INFLUENCERS WHO GET POLITICIANS' ATTENTIONS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS

Some prominent Nigerians, who have huge numbers of followers by the virtue of their leadership positions, are believed to be capable of influencing the choice of voters in the February general elections.

Their recent utterances have been catching the attention of politicians in the build-up to the elections.

They have, at one time or the other, expressed concerns over the likely outcome of the general elections, which a section of the international community believes may lead to the disintegration of the Nigerian state, if not properly handled.

Some observers are, however, of the view that the utterances of these influencers and opinion leaders have been sending fear to the spines of politicians, especially those who have just won their parties’ tickets at the recently held nationwide primary election.

As an individual, would you cast your votes this year based on the individual whom your religious or political leader favours?
