hinwazaka: I actually laughed when I read this because you might have given scientists a break, I mean, "plethora" transformed from something into a human called Buhari, it must be the "missing link" we've been looking for (comic relief). If you have decided o blame "plethora of factors" for |

socialmediaman:. Pleth-ora / noun(sing) (formal) an amount that is greater than is needed or can be used (syn) EXCESS: The report contained a plethora of details. Secondly if you recall your college days, you will realise that the sum total of your four years consists of the eighth semesters you spent in school The smart students begin their studying from the day after clearance and not the 2nd or penultimate year. The early bird eats the early worm, but right now its obvious that the APC is the confused lazy bird that will return to its nest with no worms at all. |

Whynotthetruth: Buhari has not disrespected Nigeria's sovereignty, he just changed our foreign policy from a country who was disregarded to a country who is now being respected. South Africa has agreed or has returned our Buhari is working on his team of ministers and advisers, we need to be patient. A lot of changes need to happen in our system because we can witness a feasible growth. The country will get back on its feet once again soon, it involves patience and sacrifice from all of us. We had this patience and sacrifice with PDP for 16 years before we realized they were fooling everyone, especially within the last 5 years, what we did was try the other option, can't we at least have the benefit of witnessing the change we voted, or do you want to force down PDP's "dearth wish" for this government on our throats? We, the citizens of Nigeria, don't really care about Jonathan's labeled "crime" against the west, they didn't tell him to oversee over $50 billion dollars to get missing from our treasury. The west didn't tell him to bless corruption and give it recognition within his government etc. Yes I know the president's travel allowance is much more than his salary, like every other president. Ordinarily this money should be returned to the treasury when unused, it's his "official" travel allowance... so cutting his salary was a noble thing to do Yes our woes were predicted by NOI, even Sanusi who was labeled APC because he was outspoken against government was vocal about our wastefulness too, the problem was, NOI couldn't tell her boss the truth which was to muster the courage and fight corruption rather than play around it, or maybe she did but her boss was too weak or timid or compromised to do that. Well, Nigerians did the very right thing other serious countries would do Buhari is not asking "imperialists" for free money, he needs their help to fight corruption, he needs their Intel. These "imperialists" do not have to override your sovereignty to help you trace looted funds, infact they have been jailing corrupt people from Nigeria too (Ibori on mind), all they need is your willingness, and that doesn't mean you have to start licking their asses. Many sovereign nations are friendly to the US; Japan, South Korea etc, all they care about is their interest, being a butt licker will depend on whether you know what you're doing or not. If you go asking for free money, that's when you turn to butt licker. |

hinwazaka: Did you see where it was written "comic relief"? It literally means "I made a joke out of that word" Kai, you need some unwinding, politics isn't too good for you Cc: whynotthetruth give your boy some break, will you? He needs a holiday in Atlanta |

socialmediaman: 1)Why not read my post again and see if you addressed my points...kindly reduce this your penchant for epistle s... 2)Do you know what's the meaning of foreign policy?...kindly state anyone introduced by nuhari so far... 3)Name any single country who has no political ulterior interest in us that has any issues with Nigeria under Jonathan?... Also show any country that has our bilateral relationship at zero under Jonathan? 4)If buhari knew his on in being on timed term...he won't be gallivanting around...especially with no cabinet to act in his absence...So where the changes you are seeing? 5)Nigeria made giant strides in power, agriculture, economic policies, and bilateral trade relationship under Jonathan and our world corruption rating improved tremendously while transparency came into governance... what difference has buhari who failed in all these in 1984/85 done now...Is there any positive economic policy to his name? 6)What are you blabbing on travel allowance...?... smh... 7)Your rants on NOI and missing money are incoherent& unsubstantiated hence not deserving of my energy... Is Intel which he can sort out from here the most pressing need now?...amidst collapsing economy due to lack of direction and insurgency... what effort has he made at home before rushing to America?...Was it UK that started out Ibori or Abacha case?... 9)If he is not a toy to Obama & co...how come he dropped Ayedele as he was ordered to do because the man told America the home truth as Iyalla did and Gowon backed him up 10)Can you point to any reasonable economic policy for which buhari is known or remembered having ruled us as military whose word was law then...so why should anybody trust him now? Kindly answer these and my previous questions with less epistle plzzzz hinwazaka 2 Likes 1 Share |

socialmediaman: Also I failed to see from where you got your data or facts or do you simply thrive in writing epistle of nonsense 1)Agriculture got its biggest boast under Jonathan... resulting in many agricultural companies coming up...our food import cost reduced drastically... cost of food in market remained relatively same throughout his term unlike now they are skyrocketing... 2)His industrial revolution master plan led to dispensing of unending litigations in Ajeokuta steel company... and various industries springing up and moribund ones coming alive eg auto industries...Pharmaceutical sector got first proactive and concrete attention of government under Jonathan... Nollywood got its first interventionist fund under Jonathan... young entrepreneurs sprang up from youwin... and other such private initiatives of individuals supported by government like TEEN... So what again is diversification bro 3)If Jonathan did not save... plz what is SWF for?...is it for bazaar or owambe in your house?... 4)Statistics has shown that in 2015 alone...Jonathan created over 500,000 jobs...If you're still unemployed then maybe the challenge is in you and not Jonathan... BTW what's your LGA chairman and governor doing 5)We know those experiencing tsunami abi hurricane currently but your delusion have blinded you from it... 6)I don't need to wait for buhari to see tomorrow... Because all he's doing now is reminiscent of his reign in 1984/85...when out of the 75,000 graduates recorded by NUC only 5000 got employed while 70000 remained unemployed...added to the quantum number of workers he retrenched...He used physical force as economic policy for price control...and got our railway dead...facts are sacred bro... hinwazaka: 1 Like 1 Share |

Whynotthetruth: Also, his policies killed several hundred businesses with others suffering badly with several job losses. Nigeria at that time had to go back to trade by barter just to survive.. socialmediaman |

francizy: Seriously bro...I wonder what miracle these guys are expecting a man who failed woefully at his prime to perform in his old age...Even importers had to look for trade licenses from mostly northerners who had access to same to import goods that soldiers would stand in your shop to tell you how much to sell them irrespective of your cost implication... BTW he has NEVER shown leadership anywhere... As minister...Obj and David West took initiatives... As head of state...Idiagbon called the shots... As PTF chairman... Salihijo(consultant turned PTF emperor) gave orders...He picked out contracts for himself...initiates same for himself... he awarded contracts to himself...supervised himself...costs himself...through his company APC while buhari sat as figurehead... hinwazaka: 1 Like 1 Share |

Whynotthetruth: Hahahahahahaha by 500,000 jobs I guess you meant INEC ADHOC staff... So how much was in the SWF? Don't tell me the governor's made him share it 'cos I'll ask you if it was FG's savings or FG/SG joint revenue. So how much did he save? He instead crashed the foreign reserve which topped $62 billion, to $29 billion, even with averaged higher sales during his administration. Nigeria got so broke we had to borrow to pay salaries continuously Lol @industrial revolution, you couldn't even give OBJ some credit for the pharmaceutical industry revolution, you're trying so hard to steal everyone else's hardwork 'cos GEJ had very little. Agric? Yeah, give it to GEJ even if it were Yaradua's initiative, we're still like 10% down the lane though, 90% more to go Is this all you got? I'm sorry, it's not good enough. |

socialmediaman: 1)On job...whatever it is to you doesn't matter...it is job and people are getting paid with its multiplier effect... 2)If you know nothing about SWF...then try and read up... 3)Industrial revolution master plan of Jonathan was launched by him...Show me any evidence of intervention or whatever in pharmaceutical sector by Obj plzzz...Because I know there was none before Jonathan as confirmed by them and NMA... 3)So which area of agriculture was Yar'adua initiative...? 4)Did you go blind to my other mentions of you...do justice to them and this too... |

NIGERIALOLoCOM:Baba no vex abeg. I just don't like the way these guys try to shove their opinion down others' throats. Whenever you try to be "reasonable" and attempt to engage them in constructive arguments and debates, that's when they bare they ugly fangs. Sometimes you just gotta serve them a few dose of their own medicine. Buhari has yet to even spend a hundred days, let alone a year, yet they've called him all manner of names, insulting him with for no just reason. What more can one do?? |
