A lot of times we try to project the image of the benign, peace loving drunk from Otueke to cover up the complete rot his administration represented. It is just a repeat of history as most of us know that Shagari is a good man but his administration was very corrupt.

I stay in Abuja and I know that the corruption under the GEJ administration was monumental and the enormous revenue accrued to the government was wasted even much more than Abacha, Babangida and Obasanjo combined. Why are we so wicked to keep on defending his administration.

Buhari has a lot of personal flaws but if we can remember this election was a referendum on GEJ not necessarily about Buhari in the swing states of the South West and North Central.

Whether he appoints Ministers this night or next year it is a huge relief from the madness we just went through for six years.

It will take a lot for us to recover with the depleted external reserves, crash of crude prices, a possible Greek default, reduction in summer travel and GDP/ Oil use due to terrorism fears, a huge slowdown in China, 30 million barrels of stored Iranian crude about to hit the market with the removal of sanctions and two possible interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.

We are in interesting times no matter who is at the helm and the earlier we all hunker down and pray to weather the storm without terrible social unrest that will come with job losses, subsidy removal, Naira devaluation and corresponding hyperinflation adding to the Boko Haram insurgency decimating the North East and the bankruptcy of the states.

Let me give you a brief example; Buhari told the governors to negotiate longer loan tenors with the banks up to 20 years to reduce the strain and inability to pay salaries, do you know how that will affect bank profits and systemic liquidity. What will happen to their Oil and Gas loans if oil prices dip further.

May God help this country but please it is sheer wickedness to bring up the previous administrations records. In other climes they would have been shot by now.

[s][/s]Was all these his profile he was elected a Governor,and hitherto a senator,or did he just start them?.

odeotito:
OK. Just wish someone will bring this up via OS and go all the way to SCN so we can see how they'll rule. By the way, SCOTUS was something else this last Friday! Sleep tight Friend!!

modhream:

Okay,it appears we need a reset of relationship here.Apparently,you're still learning your way around citizenship/constitutional law so I'll go more easy on you.
Forgive my earlier abruptness.
So,where are you in your reading now?.

odeotito:
Common how do you situate s.28(1) within s.25 reading communally. Still baffles me why folks get so agitated to the point of the insultive when others reason differently! We can have an intelligent discussion without agitation. Stay calm!

NavierStokes:
HOLYBUKOLA, indeed doesn't sound like a Nigerian name.

odeotito:
You must have the saying by Festo -"There is no end to learning" Eagerly looking forward to pleadings.

NDPVF:
Tell that to your Yorubas,who always come here to claim saraki is a yoruba,so that they will cover up their political slavery to the North.

BermudaTriangle:



When, from early fifties to the seventies your forefathers led by Azikiwe subserviently followed the north like zombies, they were not in slavery, or were they ? Your major problem is the contaminated brain you carry in your skull which makes you write utter stuff and nonsence in search of worthless relevance.

Emekamex:
Does it mean Obama isn't american since he was born in Kenya.

charlycharles:
Remove Saraki and watch Ekweremadu become the senate president. what about dat apc mad dogs.

modhream:

Well,the confidence with which you came out swinging at first,was as if you've been called to bar many years n is an authority on constitutional law.
I get many ignoramuses here on nl,who mouth off constitution at every turn without even knowing what the preamble says.
