The Many Gaffes Of Buhari's Inaugural Speech by Wildrage: 10:24pm On May 29, 2015 |
[color=#990000][/color]1) He said we are heirs of great empires like the Benin Empire, the great OYO Empire, The Great El kanem empire and the Uthman Dan fodio empire. He needs to be reminded that Uthman Dan Fodio was a colonialist from Futa Jallon , he was no different from the British colonialist like Lord Lugard and co 2) He acknowledged the help of Cameroon, Chad and Niger for their help in combating the menace of Boko Haram. Not once did he acknowledge the efforts of our gallant soldiers nor did he pay tribute to our fallen heroes who paid the supreme sacrifice in their effort to rid this country of the menace of the terrorist 3) he said they are going to study the problems bedeviling the power sector with a view to intervening with measures that would lead to success in that critical sector. This clearly belies their claims in their manifesto and promises made during the campaign. The impression they gave was that they've studied the situation in the power sector and have the magic wand to give us uninterrupted power supply in the next four years. Surely, they must realise that we won't be entertaining any excuse for failure 4) he addressed his wife as her excellency, I find this quite curious coming from someone who has promised to do away with the office of the first Lady, and what really qualifies his wife as her excellency? 8 Likes 1 Share |

The op didnt go to school. Ignore him. So u don't know that the wife of a president is also called excellency? First lady office is not about being called excellency .. It is about the state paraphenalia reserved exclusively for her which is not right. But as the wife of the president, she becomes her excellency too. As for usman dan fodio...u r talking of fouta jallon whatever...do u know where the beni empire started from? Or where the oyo empire started from? Did u not read history? Nonsense About the fallen heros...he was at that time talking about countries that have assisted in the fight against corruption, assuring them that we can take it on from here..so he thanked them for their support. He wasn't thanking the soldiers in particular so that was not an avenue to talk abt those who have died and so on..get a life 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Your post made no sense Didn't you read the part where he said boko haram will no longer be allowed to kill innocent Nigerians. If he didn't recognize the efforts of military he won't order the military command center moved to Maiduguri. Obviously he's tired of the excesses of boko haram and how our troops have been ridiculed so much internationally. What's wrong in addressing his wife as 'excellency' That's a man who respects and acknowledge his beau of many years. As a civilian president protocols are not necessarily a compulsory thing to follow in your speech. He appreciated the people in no particular order please. Pls go and read your history books again on the uthman Dan fodio empire. Oh oh the problems the power sector is facing is so numerous and to get it right they have to keep studying the sector while working on it. The transformation is gonna be gradual but there's going to be improvements. We have corruption,generator cabals,need more dams and hydroelectric power stations. We need to explore using gas,solar to generate our power. Its just less than 24 hours before he was handed the mantle of leadership. 3 Likes |

I wonder when this whole swearing into power will stop. Can't there be a swearing in to transformation in all facets of the country. Other neighbouring nations are projecting for better tommorrow Nigeria has stigmatised herself to total deterioting situations. Fundamental culture of learning has been bastardized, all thanks to our fore leaders who never ceases to create doom. Must God always be a Mandela in Nigeria, Great leaders of the past fought to see to a better life for You and I. This generation chooses to be toddler in actions and in thought. Let's redeem the glory of the past. |
