The Most Important Questions Gen. Buhari Ought To Answer by francizy(m): 1:37pm On Jan 25, 2015
Please, I won't appreciate any insults from people. Just contribute if you want to. Thank you...


Am pained about some of the things I listed there because, I'm a Metallurgical and Materials Engineering graduate with a good class of degree and looking at Ajaokuta Steel industry which Alhaji Shehu Shagari worked tirelessly to put in place, am inclined to blame my inability to secure a job on Gen. Buhari, but I won't because he's not the one in power at the moment. Steel metallic materials being the backbone of economic development, Ajaokuta steel industry would have driven growth in almost all Engineering sectors of the economy.

It baffles me when a man that didn't care about what would have been the biggest and best steel company in Africa as at that time, would create 2 million jobs now. And come to think of it, I would love to know if Buhari constructed roads in south western, south eastern and south-southern parts of Nigeria both as a Millitary head and as the petroleum minister or did he just concentrate in the north? This and the Metro line issue brings me to feel that Gen. Buhari is tribalistic.

He majorly concentrated on strengthening the naira, which was good but we all know that this is never a permanent fit and the naira would have most definitely decayed still. He should have focused more on technological advancement. Did China get this far because of the strength of their currency? No. Technological advancement made China what it is today and as a matter of fact, Chinese Yen is weaker than the Dollar but it doesn't affect the Chinese economy. This brings me to ask this question:

Can an economy be built on only its currency?

I know corruption has eaten deep within our fabric but I also know that Gen Buhari might still place his people above the law just like he did in the past and then prosecute people from other tribes. Truth is, I hate GEJ's administration but I also feel that the General need to answer some questions on the ills of his own administration before I place him above GEJ, because presently, I see them as the same.

The General should make all these clear to me:


1. How will you fight corruption in a Democratic system? This is pretty much different from military rule and even the General himself admitted it that the system's been compromised.

2. Will your Hausa/Fulani people be tried at all? If yes, tell us how you intend to put sentimentalism behind you.

3. How do you intend to create 2 million jobs and be more specific about it?

4. How will you solve our power supply problem? Will you employ the services of the only minister that has ever performed well in that sector, in the name of Prof. Barth? Will you make him minister of Power once more or will you prefer to give that to an Hausa/Fulani man?

5. How far away will you stay from the likes of OBJ and IBB who are known for Godfatherism knowing fully well you already work with one of them as a close ally in the person of Tinubu?

6. How will you work on the system straight down to the masses since the corruption we're talking about has spread down among individuals like an airborne disease?

7. So many people are played salaries for ghost employees who don't exist. Will you set up an organization to monitor government workers and the input of these workers in the organizations they work? If yes, then who will the organization you set up report to directly, because they can easily be infuriated by corrupt minds? These workers need to be monitored and checked, especially lecturers and teachers so that they give our students the best and avoid molesting of our sisters in schools. Also, there has to be websites, emails, phone numbers, etc. where people can report officials who misbehave.

8. In Federal government agencies, will you reduce the monopoly the Northern people have over us even till date, or will you increase it?

9. What values do you place on Democracy if you had truncated one? This question is as important as the others because even Obasanjo that handed over to a Democratically elected Alhaji Shehu Shagari turned out a massive failure as a Democratic head of our country, talk more a man that truncated a democratic government.

10. Since you're a man of integrity like people refer you as, how will you handle public funds? A Nairalander once said that accounts for infrastructural development of every sector of the Nigerian economy should be created and information the spendings from the account should be made public. Will you employ this strategy sir?

11. In countries that encourage development, no state is left underdeveloped, that is, work is carried out on all states of the federation simultaneously. Will you do that sir?

12. Please assure us thay contracts wont be handed only to your close friends but to people with the ability to handle such effectively. Also, will you closely monitor each person to ensure that these contracts are effectively carried out in full without money laundering?

13. What is you plan about our educational system? You must have known that we need inprovement in our educational system. How will you bring about the improvements when it was said that you stopped the feeding of students in the past and introduced payment of school fees as a military head?

14. NYSC is more like a waste of time for most Nigerian graduates. Will you cancel the "corps members to be placed in schools policy"? If you won't, then I suggest you modify the program greatly. You can empower these corps me members to be more business inclined and then support them to start up their own businesses. All zonal and local government inspectors should be equipped in order for them to teach these graduates business management skills. You don't have to be paying ZI's and LI's for clearance of corps members alone. This will be like, teaching graduates how to catch fishes because presently, they're neither given the fishes nor taught how to catch them.

I just need questions answered so that I pledge my full support for him, else, I'd rather not vote.

Thank you.

None of his explanation(s) will change your decision, so use your one-man vote according to the dictates of your conscience.
