PassingShit will never cease to daze me with his lack of political will.......can somebody tell me what is positive about this government for these 2 months?

PassingShot post=36444186[s:
Having been [sworn in on May 29, 2015, President Buhari has completed two months at the helms of affairs of our nation. As short as this period seems, it's important to take a critical and unbiased look at what the PMB/VPYO presidency has been able to achieved or failed to achieve.

1. Increase in Our Foreign Reserves:
As at May 29, 2015, the value of our foreign reserves stood at $29.1bn (down from $43.16bn in Jan 2014 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/30/nigeria-reserves-idUSL6N0V90ZL20150130). Due to blocking of leakages and loopholes which were the order of the day under GEJ, our foreign reserves has witnessed a steady growth and now boast of almost $32bn as at July 7th, 2015. This is an impressive addition of about $3bn in less than two months! We can only imagine what it could have been had GEJ blocked those loopholes in all the years he stayed in office.
Read it here please http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/emefiele-nigeria-s-external-reserves-now-31-89-billion/214192/

Hear Emefiele the CBN Governor on the foreign reserves: “I must use this opportunity to commend the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari for his dogged approach in seeing that all loopholes are blocked."

2. Bail-out Package to States:
Prior to his coming as president, many states of the federation were massively indebted to their workers such that many of them were owing between 8 and 10 months salaries to their workers. When the problem was becoming a national embarrassment, the president approved a bail-out package to all states to bring succor to the affected workers. Under the N713.7bn package, N413.7bn was a special intervention fund (from proceed paid by LNG) while the remaining N300bn was a soft loan from the CBN to be repaid from the state's subsequent allocation.

In addition, The Debt Management Office (DMO) is expected to assist states to restructure over N660billion commercial loans crippling their economy. With the development, President Buhari has stopped deduction of monthly allocations to states at source. Instead, the Federal Government will “use its influence to guarantee the elongation of the loans for the benefit of the states.”

3. Modest Success Against the BH Terrorists:
While it will be unpatriotic to claim a satisfactory success in this regard, it will amount to an act of insincerity to fail to acknowledge that the NA have now taken the fight to the terrorists in recent weeks. The fact that BH group now results to suicide bombing is a clear sign of desperation and frustration from a group facing impending defeat. When Boko Haram was very potent, they sacked many military barracks, controlled many local governments and were always ready to face the army in a battle. The situation has completely changed and the terrorists are now on the run.

Read some of the successful operations against the BH here https://www.nairaland.com/2490229/nigerian-army-conducts-successful-raid and here https://www.nairaland.com/2484987/nigerian-military-rescues-22-children.

Contrary to the wicked lies being peddled by the wailers, there was never a time PMB promised to end BH insurgency in two months. The first time the lie was reported was during the last electioneering campaign and APC almost immediately refuted the report. Again, when he was interviewed by Amanpour as a president elect and was asked a related question, he said "in few months" and not "two months".

PassingShot:

When will you come to terms with the fact that your Lord GEJ is history and will not return?

MizMyColi:


Oh, thanks then.
That's why I said "maybe"
I was talking based on my scant knowledge of reforms in the sector.

PassingShot:

And you too.

Once in a while, we have to shove it in their mouth.

4. [s]Serious Undergoing Efforts to Recover Our Stolen Money[/b:
Apart from efforts being made locally in this regard, it was the other major reason the president was invited to USA. Despite what the wailers will have us believe, PMB himself has recently said that he has received from USA, some documents that will assist Nigeria in tracking and recovering our stolen money from the looters. Read it here please http://www.punchng.com/news/us-gave-buhari-names-of-oil-thieves-source/ .

Similar efforts are being coordinated with UK, Switzerland, France and others. Read here also http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-traces-looted-funds-to-uk-switzerland-others/

Is it not then an absurdity to read many wailers shouting blue murder whenever we read that EFCC or DSS invites some treasury thieves for questioning? It is absurd because every sane person knows that PMB/VPYO campaigned on the three main cardinal points of ending insurgency, fighting corruption and improving the economy. So, if he fails to go after those who have stolen their future and that of their unborn generations, will the president be deemed successful in his campaign promise?

5. Refineries now Working:
I know many including some PMB supporters will be quick to point me to the president statement that he didn't do anything to make the refineries work. That is another sterling quality of the president but wait, I have some pertinent questions for you.

* Did NNPC/GEJ not tell us in Feb 2015 that N99bn was needed by Nigerian engineers to fix the refineries or not as contained here? http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nigerian-engineers-to-repair-refineries-for-n99bn-nnpc/

* Did NNPC and GEJ's team not tell us in March of this year that $550 million was needed to fix the refinery or not? give us as contained here? http://thenationonlineng.net/new/nnpc-to-repair-refineries-with-550m/

* On March 6, 2015 (before the election), did GEJ/NNPC not tell us that refineries will not work before 2016 or not? http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/refineriesll-be-back-on-stream-2016-nnpc/

The fact remains that, had GEJ won the election, the refineries would not have worked, even in 2016. We traveled that deceitful routes with jonathan many times before.

The fact that PMB is known to be on a mission on corruption; with NNPC the number one priority, is what has made NNPC to quickly put its acts together and bring the refineries on board.

Btw, I already did a comprehensive thread on this here https://www.nairaland.com/2392387/buhari-not-jonathan-responsible-refineries

6. Improved Electricity:
Only the bigots will deny the fact that electricity has improved compared to GEJ's era. The miracle we're witnessing here is similar to what is happening with refineries. The Transmission Company of Nigeria has continued to achieve one peak or the other since the coming of PMB. Is it another coincidence? No, it is not.

Through FG's efforts, there have been improvement in gas supply to the generating stations. These generating stations have been there since GEJ's era, how come they couldn't get gas supply despite government granting suppliers various loans? The answer is that the suppliers and some PHCN big wigs connive to elope with the loans while keeping Nigerians in darkness. But with a new Sheriff in town, they dare not try the same nonsense. End of story. https://www.nairaland.com/2487750/again-tcn-records-new-power#36402389

7. Nigeria Image Boosted:
I don't think I need to say much here as comments from notable citizens and international figures are a testament to this fact. Even, PDP has been somehow forced to eat the humble pie when they declared that "Buhari is the only clean man in APC". To many of us, this is a huge difference between the two parties. After all, PMB/VPYO are the representatives of the change we fought for.

God Bless Nairaland
God Bless Patriotic Nigerians
God Bless PMB/VPYO
God Bless Nigeria[/s]

EdCure:

Jonathan left the country in almost total mess. Two months is not enough to assess any government that takes over from a ruinous tthink the little progress made are not visible to you, or crawl back to your cave to continue your wailing.

MizMyColi:
Over 1,000 souls dead and someone is claiming "Modest Success" on BH, because of the corpses of a few BH cronies we saw carefully lined up for the camera?
Gosh?!!!!!

MizMyColi:
GEJ neither built power plants, maybe.

But there were reforms, which have resulted in the Discos you see today.

I'm well aware too that billions of Naira have been pumped into this issue of power generation.

I read this thread and I feel an insult to my sensibilities.

When Barcanista created his thread on this matter, I did not comment directly on the topic. I had my reasons.
I felt that the man Buhari needs more time, despite the huff and puff he employed during the campaign period, however, Barca was on point.

But to see a thread claiming some hogwash unrivalled
success?
Dyamn, you guys just know how to force a person's fingers even when they don't feel like it. Don't you?

midolian:
God bless you, passingshot. In summary, the achievement of PMB is the fact that he is restoring sanity to a country gone "mad".

We voted Buhari in to make things happen in this country and he is doing it. May God see him through.

Let those that will wail, continue to wail. Even when in chains and tied to a tree, a monkey will stil jump. You can't stop them from wailing.

SeverusSnape:

When will you come to terms with the fact that Buhari is an illiterate and has nothing to offer?

TO PASSINGSHOT AND MIZ MY COLE.

2. What contract in oil industry? No any.
3. If u think Boko Haram has been combated then go reside Northeast to experience it.
4. Increase in Kerosene prize.
