Thank God you clueless oga headed to the warning of the United State and the United Kingdom that he should call his militants, who had before the election threatened that their master must win, to order elso he would be "Ggbagboed."

SeverusSnape:

Shut it Mr. Passingshot!!!
Have you ever called them to order?... Instead you're even encouraging and liking their comments, How can one just insult the number one citizen of this country with reckless abandon?... Without any iota of conscience, Those same set of people will ccomplain of how this country is not respected in the comity of nations, while forgetting the fact that they brought it on themselves.
Look here, I don't care if Buhari is the commander of chief or whatever... All I know is this... WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER.

PassingShot:


@ the bolded.

And how do you know all the posts that I "like"?

And there are occasions that I've cautioned a few guys from our camp here.

Anyway, good luck to you.

SeverusSnape:

You guys are worse, Stop playing sanctimonious, Your ilk are worse online and offline.

SeverusSnape:

Thank god your illiterate terrorist is now the President-elect, at least Bokoharam will come to an end.
Buharistic iidiot

OrlandoOwoh:

Rubbish! How come your clueless oga has not arrested Buhari for "sponsoring" the sect? How come you accuse Tinubu of being corrupt yet you can't come up with an evidence? Your oga is an epitome of cluelessness.

MizMyColi:
My heartfelt appreciation goes to all of you who have graced the thread.

More gratitude to those who have dropped words of encouragement, to those who have chosen to tow a path of near objectivity and neutrality.

Special thanks to Kinglekan

Luxanne!!!!!

Apparently, I'm missing out monikers.
Doesn't change my posture of thankfulness to you all.

SeverusSnape:

If your terrorist lost an election and people are killed talk more of when he's arrested, You and your blood thirsty savage brothers would have gone on rampage killing innocent Nigerians. GEJ treaded carefully...Don't worry, Now he'll give them amnesty, Didn't he advocate for it earlier??

OrlandoOwoh:

Too dumb. Come up with something else.

MizMyColi:

I was very unfortunate fortunate to trek the suburbs of Lagos' capital today.
Thanks to that faulty ride, the unrepentant gidi traffic and of course, near absence of vacant buses (Rush Hour Tins)
I left the office fuming, but now that I'm finally settled in a bus, on my way to my final destination, I'm thankful.
I had loads of time to trek, to reminisce, and to ruminate.

With the fresh air from the trees planted under the leadership of his excellency, BRF (SAN), fluttering all over my face....it was a time of sober reflection. I asked myself questions, hard ones....questions which everyone who has towed or intends to take the path I towed should ask themselves.

Why do I hate Buhari? What has he done against me as an individual?

Since when did I start excluding people from my grace list?

If GEJ had won, wouldn't I want people to give him grace before jumping at him?
Would I appreciate the militant attitude with which I treat anything GMB/PYO if someone did that to my own?

Even if the progressives on Nairaland treated/treats a man I honour as an individual with such disdain and ineptitude, does it make it right, for me to go all out to get my pound of flesh, albeit subconsciously? Now that their own is in power?

Would it kill me to believe God for a better Nigeria?

Why am I so convinced Nigeria will fail even more?
Btw, if Nigeria falls, who will bear the brunt more?

I have always believed in bringing sense, even out of nonsense. I have always believed that there is inherent goodness in everyman, no matter how worse and evil they appear.....why have I conveniently exempted the APC, GMB/PYO.

I remember asking "Where is Osinbajo?"
In my myopic thinking, I chose to think he has retired to his block of flats and handed over his post, unofficially to Tinubu.

Well, what if as I write now, that man is on his kness, praying and crying his hearts out.....asking God to help him steer the cause of this nation....what if?

For sometime now, I have observed that in my online relations, I have fallen short of THINKing. (an acronym I promoted on here briefly, as regards online ettiquette)

Is it Thoughtful?

Is it Helpful?

Is it Inspiring?

Is it Necessary?

Is it Kind?


Nonetheless, I reckon that we are all growing. We are all getting better... Those that point to our failings and accuse us of being hypocrites fail to see that we all have our blindspots and none of those blindspots makes us any less than we are. For we shine, not in never falling but in rising and pushing on.

It is on this note that I hereby submit that I have seen that my manner of approach and way of addressing Buhari and co was off and I have decided to make a turn around in the spirit of excellence.

Henceforth, I will try to see the good in the incoming administration and maintain a position of near neutrality and objectivity. I will put them in my prayers and be an ambassador of peace and goodwill where ever, whenever; for first and foremost, I am, A Nigerian.
So help me God.

I wish GMB good health of mind and body.
I wish him and his team wisdom and understanding uncommon as they prepare to pilot the affairs of this nation.
And So shall it be.


Thanks for taking time to read.

@MyColi:

You have spoken well! I understand your position of wishing the government well and giving it a chance. This has always been my position too. However, wishing a government well does not mean absence of criticism, neither does it mean absence of analytical thinking. Wishing a government well does not also mean to be in agreement with everything it says or do, neither does it mean instituting a one-party state.

We shall always wish the incoming government well, but we shall not relent in playing our patriotic role as citizens and opposition.

adamskutty:
Mizm ycoli u have spoken well for the frst time ever. I congratulate u as u take this bold step to abandon taniodhood and embrace change. Congrates.


I sincerely hope that other taniods, especially the toothless bulldog without class called barca nista follow in ur footsteps, his own case is pathetic. Pls pray for his lost soul.

Final bullet. I never thought igbos could be this sensible, the only igbo person i know up till this very moment to be neutral and not tribal is kach isbarbie, now i can add another one to the list. I hope the other one pris caoge follow in ur footsteps as well, i hate it when a lady is filled with hate, such lady can kill her husband.

kaboninc:
I choose to come here for a reason...

Well some people do not actually hate Buhari. Not every comment about Buhari and his gang should actually be taken in a negative sense.

I belong to that set of individuals who do not hate him. I just do not like his personality, the personalities surrounding him and the mantra for which he rose to power. These are fundamental issues one cannot just wave aside. He is just not our kind of leader - a leader for a complex society as ours.

To me and the lots like me, his campaigns and the messages that came with it were founded on lies, deceits and fraud. That is what I hate about Buhari. Now we're beginning to notice some recounting of promises especially issues relating to corruption - Timpreye Silva should come to your mind.

His recent utterances, actions and inactions are confirming our doubts about him. If you've observed closely, he has been drawing the 'rage' of the current president just to give the impression that this government is stinking with a very bad stench from the worst sewage tank ever! A focused leader should know what time wasters are. An example is the PwC report.

I do not want to cry more than the bereaved (of course I am also a member of the bereaved).

I wish him good luck but will definitely come down hard on him. People learn like this also.

luxanne:


I've happened to read some of your posts shared by Coli and I can't help but see a personal vendetta you've got lined up for the incoming government, one that says they fail woefully so you can come here and gloat under your supposed criticisms of 'I told you so', perhaps making you feel better for all the attacks you've been through on here.

But one concern I've got is, how you speak of rebranding PDP and how you intend to go about it without acting like the same progressives you so much despised.


Am not against criticising this government, next government and next, not at all but what am vehemently against is wanting the incoming government to screw up for selfish and egoistic reasons while ignoring the fact that when they do screw up, we ALL will be affected in one way or the other.

If we all say we're fighting for the good of Nigeria, then I think we all need to be first, selfless in order to achieve that dream.

bakila:

We owe it a duty to posterity to criticize a government that make decision affecting on our life. The PwC report may be a time waster to some but any government or leader worth his onions must read or give the report to a trusted assistant to read and give him a summery. You may not like Buhari's personality because he is always wearing babanriga or kaftan, that does not detract from his feelings for Nigeria which is the most important. It is ironic that you see PwC report issue as a time waster and Sylva a priority. Nigeria needs opposition a good one at that, Op just convinced herself that PDP failed and I know they failed woefully and took Nigerians for granted including those who have voted them consistently and continuously.
Buhari represent change, to the bad PDP politics and Governance and also a justification to remove APC if they fail.

any government or leader worth his onions must read or give the report to a trusted assistant to read and give him a summary

Whynotthetruth:

Finally, if buhari could tell us that the problem of Nigeria is Jonathan & PDP, then with buhari and APC in now; we expect all those problems to disappear...Nothing more; Nothing less

kaboninc:


I don't know if you properly read my comment. I don't know what's your goal/aim in trying to shift the focus to PDP is bad and GEJ is a failure.

People like you speak with 5 sides of the mouth! Gosh!

The same set of 'change agents' in APC today where the same set of individuals in the 'bad PDP' of yesterday. They became saints and angels all of a sudden. They just became righteous! Hmmmmm. Should I criticize the APC government, does it mean I hate them?

Well, like you've just reasoned with another side of your mouth,


acting on the recommendations and concentrate on the task at hand which is contributing to the development of a better Nigeria. Not wasting time 'instituting' another worthless probe.

The same 'missing' $20 billion was probed by the House, the Senate and now PwC. None said the money was missing. All gave SAME recommendations. Maybe the next will be by Jaiz Bank or Sanusi or El Rufai or better still Tinubu and Amaechi and Fayemi and you, Bakila!

Your APC and Buhari team should not start our day by wasting our time....

Nigeria is on a roller coaster ride....

bakila:
Summery: No money missing. That is the purpose why people dont want any review. PwC said some money is missing and you cant see otherwise.

Damn!! Election is over and the otuoke dullard is packing his ghana must go back to the creeks for good.

You people need to make yourself useful by helping the dullard and shepo pack their load and escort them back to their village instead of crying up and down NL everyday...

She said you are gentle, show that part and give him grace.

You should have quoted him also, and beseeched him to use more curt tones.

Addressing the sin of one while ignoring the folly of another doesn't make sense
