You see Buhari 's government? It WILL succeed whether you like it or not. You can choose to be crying from now on till 2019; you can choose to commit suicide out of hatred of seeing him succeed, it won't Change anything. God is already on our side...And believe me friend, you can't go against his plan.

ENEMY OF PROGRESS undecided

Buhari's dullardss plan for nigeria is to islamise it. He is aiding boko haram to bomb nigeria ceaselessly n also aiding dem to transport weapons. But let it be known, we will resist him n break dis country. He can never succeed.

barcanista:
Good evening all, I was reading an article authored by Buhari that he wrote on Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/nigeria-committed-to-good-governance-and-fighting-terror/2015/07/20/8c1acd00-2e21-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html. In the said article he attempted to justify delay in his appointment of Cabinet by alleging that President Obama also had some delay in his first term. Please read this excerpt..

"When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." --- (Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)

I paused to ask myself whether the Obama that Muhammadu Buhari was referring to is the incmbent President of The United States or another Obama.

Obama Named His Cabinet Before Taking Office:
Obama was elected President on November 4, 2008. As President-elect Obama immediately started the nomination of his Cabinet. By December 17, 2008, Barack Obama had already nominated all his Cabinet Secretaries. Obama was sworn-in on January 20, 2009. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Barack_Obama/Appointments_and_nominations_as_President

The only late cabinet nomination of Obama was Judd Gregg- the nominee for Commerce Secretary. His nomination came on Feb 3, 2009. That is 13 days after Obama was sworn in. The delay was because the FIRST nominee for the position Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination on January 6, 2009 due to some allegation against him as New Mexico state Governor (He was nominated on the 4th of Dec 2008. See his own word

"I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,"
"Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president- elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done."

www.nbcnews.com/id/28493919/

So which Obama was Buhari referring to?

Buhari The Record Breaker:
Already Buhari has made a record as the first elected President of Nigeria to stay in office for 53 days without having Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ExPresidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Jonathan named Ufot Ekaete and Ayim Pius Ayim as SGF same day of their inauguration in 1999 and 2011 respectively. Late Yar'adua named Babagana Kingibe as SGF 24hrs after his inauguration in 2007. Buhari however is yet to. This shows that Buhari is not serious with the business of governance.

Buhari will break another record should he fail to nominate Ministers by the end of this month. He will break the record of Musa Yar'adua as the longest streak without naming a cabinet. Yar'adua named his cabinet on the 28th of July 2007. Buhari's delay till September will mean beating Yar'adua's record by more than a month (depending on the date he nominates his cabinet). Buhari will also become the only elected African and Global leader to stay in office for FOUR months without a cabinet.

These records are not the kind of record that any serious country wish for. I don't think Nigeria's case is different. Finally, Muhammadu Buhari should stop trying to act smart by playing on Nigeria's intelligence. His failure to name a cabinet shows that he isn't prepared for leadership.


May God Bless Us All

How tragic that you and your comrades in the president's defence reduce everything to PDP and dubb everything said to "Wailing Wailers"

I am not for either APC nor PDP.....am for food governace and progress

The moment politicains know that the people are intellihent enough to discern them then they will seat up and do more but if we go about defending this president or that governor simply because we voted for him or her means that we aren't ready for progress

From personal experienxe the best place to be is to be non-partisan as these politicans don't give a damn about your pains, desires or struggkes.....its them first and they thrsut at the people whatever is left


Its time we realise that soverignty belongs to the avareafe people like you and I; and that we can not limit to expressing these soverignty on at the polls but also at the periods between the polls

Minion don't worry I have no job for you, but you have been noticed and I know you are a loyal servant.

The difference is I comment on posts by different OPs, while your current master only lives his life daily thinking of what to write on Buhari.

Buhari and APC really hurt the guy's ego for daring to win an election he had wrongly placed bets on very late in the game. It was a great folly on his part and he is yet to forgive himself for the late mistake.

Even PDP inclined posters must have been wondering by now if Barcanista loves PDP more than they who were never unwavering.

Whether he likes it or not, Buhari doesn't care for his opinion. He will appoint HIS ministers whenever he has found suitable people for his suitable framework.

However, I will implore Buhari to hasten up so that Barcanista can move on to the next topic.
the guy needs deliverance really. This is no longer politics it's personal, fault finding with no class. We'll never know his real reason for turning out this way.

To be fair to Barcanista, Buhari fanboys and propagandists make it easy for him. When I saw that bit about Obama's cabinet, I couldn't help but chuckle with derision. US presidents usually make their key cabinet appointments within days of the inauguration. Indeed, that was what Buhari via Dr Fayemi promised at one point:



http://dailypost.ng/2015/04/15/buhari-to-announce-his-ministers-one-week-after-may-29-inauguration/



he promised that but what he met on ground couldn't make that happen.

Always complaining, looking for faults and never providing any useful or intelligent solution

Very repetitive and boring criticisms.

Buhari is not obligated to appoint Ministers according to your time table.

Wailing Wailers indeed


Whoever you are learn to understand that what is not good will never be good. If you should bring a hardened criminal before the law,he will give you a million reasons why he's doing whatever he is doing. PMB should not use obama to defend his failure to name his cabinet because both countries and leaders are world apart.

Already Buhari has made a record as the first elected President of Nigeria to stay in office for 53 days without having Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ExPresidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Jonathan named Ufot Ekaete and Ayim Pius Ayim as SGF same day of their inauguration in 1999 and 2011 respectively. Late Yar'adua named Babagana Kingibe as SGF 24hrs after his inauguration in 2007. Buhari however is yet to. This shows that Buhari is not serious with the business of governance.

Buhari will break another record should he fail to nominate Ministers by the end of this month. He will break the record of Musa Yar'adua as the longest streak without naming a cabinet. Yar'adua named his cabinet on the 28th of July 2007. Buhari's delay till September will mean beating Yar'adua's record by more than a month (depending on the date he nominates his cabinet). Buhari will also become the only elected African and Global leader to stay in office for FOUR months without a cabinet.

These records are not the kind of record that any serious country wish for. I don't think Nigeria's case is different. Finally, Muhammadu Buhari should stop trying to act smart by playing on Nigeria's intelligence. His failure to name a cabinet shows that he isn't prepared for leadership.


May God Bless Us All

You obviously spewed this TaNoid rubbish because of your Inability to read and comprehend just like the ignorant, disgraced and sha discredited op.

PMB said Obama did not have a full cabinet after inauguration which remains a fact.

The loser Nigerians kicked out of office and sent back to his village did not announce his cabinet till after 6 weeks in office so exactly what are you losers blabbing about? Were you losers crying and wailing back then.?


It's time you losers figure out that PMB is not working on losers time table..

Is that the CHANGE you promise NIGERIANS,

Buhari doesn't have cabinet but foreign reserve is growing. Whatever works makes my cup of tea


Why are you this dull What project is PMB spending money on since he assumed office other than traveling here and there The reason why our past governments could not delivered on their campaign promises is just because we failed to keep them on their toes. What we keep getting everytime are excuses upon excuses which has been the number one thing in the forefront of this present administrationt. This will not help us in any way.
