The first thing i expected Buhari to have done as someone who wants to set Nigeria permanently on the part of progress is to emit the body language of true federalism.

He is a fulani and so is in a position to restructure this country permanently without ruffling northern egos and feathers.

I expect him by now to begin to lobby the national assembly to begin a gradual transfer of economic powers to the state.

I expect him to begin to lobby critical solid mineral industrial giants to invest in the north.

Unfortuntely the signal we get from buhari is that of a core unitary govt advocate. He wants to control everything.

Nigeria will never be prosperous under this system of govt even if corruption reduce to zero.

There will always be gross under-utilization of resources by the center.

MizMyColi:




That would be one poster called Jackrich.
I first saw him post that.
I think you were on ban then.
Dammit, T'was so hilarious.

SeverusSnape:

My Oga... Just leave that home economist make him dey talk like chatter box.

Gbawe:


You are an unapologetic and entirely unobjective supporter of GEJ so I don't expect you to say different. Wait till public revelations that shows how Ali Baba (GEJ) and his forty thieves (Allison-Madueke et al) destroyed Nigeria with monumental reason to then understand why Buhari is moving "slowly" and purposefully. Hardcore Jonathanians like you will run away. I assure you that. You will then return, if you have some decency left in you, to praise the effort of Buhari to right the cumulative wrongs of the PDP since 1999.

Ezenwammadu:
Prof talk with respect this world renowned home economist will be made minster of finance by buhari body language sabi na integrity

SeverusSnape:

I laughed my ass out the night I read that comment. I'm still laughing right now.

I swear Nairaland is a source of comic relief.

MizMyColi:
Oh well...

All I see here is a diasporan Buharist who's doing what he can to cushion the effect of lambasting, pummeling and sheer disappointment which Buhari's followers would receive come August 29, 2015...when the supposed honeymoon would have expired.

This motive behind this thread's a known symptom of acudenariasis - An unfavorable condition of living in acute denial.

Chubhie:
Like you ran away after the elections to enjoy a deserved propagandic spoils of war? I acknowledge your second coming as a result of MAYDAY MAYDAY PANTS ON FIRE dispatch you got to help distract US and give US false hope while your principal battles with indecision according to you cos he's afraid to make mistakes? This is too cheap!

This your second coming like the proverbial thief in the night won't fly like before. We are wiser now and can't afford to waste four years of indecision. I'm more on the side of PMB than you will ever be.

MizMyColi:


Oh, you read it?
Lol.

I was in a commuter bus filled with mostly returning-from-work-folks when I saw it.

My dear, na so I tear one loud laugh o.
And then to think there was this dapper suited guy sitting beside me?

I didn't care o.
I laughed to my satisfaction.

Gbawe:


Yeah, I got tonnes of money for my "propaganda" duty on NL. Seriously, some of you need to grow up. If people are passionate about their nation they speak up passionately for what they believe will make her better. It has nothing to do with what they stand to gain financially. Abeg believe what you want. That is your own wahala.

Chubhie:
You've never been passionate about the nation. Your allegiance lies and ends with APC. Accept this and don't insult sensibilities.

You are never a patriot. Every attempt to smuggle yourself through as one would be resisted and exposed. It is never my business what you do for a living but don't insult our sensibilities while you are at it.

SeverusSnape:

There are times when one doesn't even care. You just let the laugh out...
There are times when I read hilarious stuffs on here and my folks will be like "E be like say madness don start".
I was still on ban on the particular night that Jackrich guy made the comment. I wished I could just create another moniker and give him an E-medal.

T'was a helluva post.

MrDenygerian:
Good day Gbawe. I'm really glad to hear from you. Be sure that those of us who have supported Buhari for years will be patient. He has a four year mandate and there will be no rush. This country needs a serious upheaval. We will be patient.

Gbawe:


Job creation will be highest under Buhari. I am sure of this and will constantly study the statistics and report such impartially here. The fact is that job creation is inextricably linked to creating an environment where competition, transparency and best industry practices thrive. I think Buhari will deliver this better than any president we have had since 1999.

rolchi:


Gbawe, I agree that he is taking his time to avoid the mistakes of the past...but alas, the media and his party has hyped him even beyond demi-gods. He is now hemi-demi-semi god! However, like you and I know...it is human to err. Buhari must make mistakes because he is human and not because he wants to. The fall from the Olympian Height will be too loud simply because of the over-exaggeration of only a mere mortal.

Quote me when it begins to happen.

God bless PMB!

fulanimafia:
Gbawe welcome back.

Once one understands the true motive behind the 'opposition' presented by PMB's detractors, it then becomes easier to understand why they are unable to see what other Nigerians home and abroad that have a renewed hope in this country, see in this new administration.

Theirs is a meningital confusion that arises from a mix of fear of PMB's likely success which will further illuminate their error in supporting one of the most corrupt and incompetent adminstrations this country has seen; frustration triggered by the assurance that GEJ would be found guilty of monumental corruption which would further destroy his 'legacy' and reputation; the humiliation of PDP's defeat which has reduced it to a broke regional party; and a blend of ethno-religious bias comprised of a cerebral hatred for the so called "born to rule" that they believe PMB represents and the reduced relevance of the SE which has lost out of the political equation as a result of the block vote it gave the past President.

Very few of these elements oppose PMB because they truly believe he will not deliver Nigeria.

An instance of the meningital confusion I hitherto mentioned, can be seen with the "opposition's" stupefaction regarding the ongoing probes. In one breath it is dismissed as propaganda and a veil for non-performance, while in the next breath (as soon as it commences) it is called a witch-hunt and an effort which distracts good governance. The inability of these elements to see the link between probes and good governance underlines the intellectual weakness which is empirically linked to being consumed with deep-seated hatred.

The ones that truly love Nigeria will eventually join PMB in his quest to deliver this nation, but do not expect those that those under the yoke of ethno-religious bias and the ones that have decided to be Goodluck's Abokaku to see the light we are rallying them towards. Regardless, let us never be weakened in our resolve for a reformed Nigeria, our day has come.

sbhdjjjmabvsvbdjkmsbbshhnsbh come back when you are sensible. tschuss...

baralatie:

if you are talking about job creation,PMB is not going to achieve it with this Dictatorial style of governance
1.PMB is strongly opposed to privatisation and he remains a big fan socialist ideals hence employment creation is a hitch
2.PMB is or has not laid out his economic policies that can be interpreted as a statement
3.PMB is gradually slowing the flow of FDi
4.PMB communication channel is filled with back and forth
5.PMB body language on rule of law is suspect
etc.

Gbawe:


Goodluck's Abobaku. very witty and apt. No doubt majority of the Buhari critics on NL are GEJ's abobaku still reeling from the shock of the defeat of their demi-god who, in reality, was a shamelessly corrupt and inept administrator abhorred universally. This thread is not for those sort. It is for (1) those who voted for Buhari and are waiting to see the progress they voted for and (2) those who did not vote for Buhari but want the best for Nigeria.

MizMyColi:
imo,
This thread's unnecessary and lacks depth.

I'm earnestly not surprised it's coming a few days to the 100th day mark.
What a good time to resurrect.

I wonder what got Femi Falana talking in the manner which he did on TV, about Buhari's vs GEJ's anti-corruption strategies, but if the things he said are anything to go by (which I believe are), then it suffices that PMB has done "nothing"...
"Nothing" because when one considers the tempo and good will with which they rode into power, based on campaign promises and the mantra on everyone's lips, one'd expect to see trail blazing achievements or a positive tangible marker in that direction.

You only create threads like this when the protagonist has done something different, something totally alien to the norm, one that shows that real change has occurred, not some speculative, body language-esque, "I will" brand of change.

Gbawe:
I will stake my name and reputation on my assertion that Buhari, by far, will be the best President Nigeria has had since our current elective democracy began in 1999. I have stated it many times that the President to deliver Nigeria would be an ascetic, principled, immaterialistic and very strong-willed individual who genuinely loves all Nigerians and is ready to give his all to them.

All Nigerians should patriotically get behind Buhari because you have never had a President who care for you and is ready to do his best to make sure you have better lives more than this man. Already, the quality of his decision-making, appointments, boldness and strategizing is obvious. Even hardcore Jonathanians, Tandroids and unrepentant Buhari haters will be behind the man in a years time.

To Diasporan Nigerians.

One of my associates was Sunny Ofili who is now deceased.

http://www.theneighbourhoodonline.com/news/othernews/3074-ofili%E2%80%99s-death-%E2%80%98very-painful%E2%80%99-delta-state-govt.html

I mention him because he was an intelligent and patriotic individual who was always insisting I come home to to do my bit in making Nigeria better. I never took him seriously because of the character of the Presidents we have had since 1999. I.e OBJ, Yar Adua and Jonathan. I will certainly get involved now under Buhari and I urge all other Nigerians in the diaspora, with unique ideas and something to contribute, to consider taking a leap of faith. I won't ask you to leave your diasporan base but I want you to take a greater interest in the administration of Nigeria. I say this because most of my friends in the UK are completely apathetic about Nigeria and cynically disinterested in the prospect of a great Nigeria because "we have heard it all before". All diasporan Nigerians need to do is commit to observing how Buhari is leading Nigeria. If you then see revolutionary decisions and changes Nigeria has never witnessed before then consider going home to contribute your expertise and skills which will help build a Nigeria our children will be proud of.

To all Nigerians.
I think it can be said that "enough is enough" in the case of Nigeria. "Prehistoric" does not even properly quantify the conditions Nigerians live under. We will begin witnessing real change shortly. I urge all Nigerians who want our nation to be great to put sentiments aside. Embrace patriotism and optimism because real and quantifiable progress is here. It is the kind every Nigerians will see and feel. In the end my message is that we should give Buhari a chance and give him our support. I am fairly sure he will not let Nigerians down.

SeverusSnape:

Sir, so far, Buhari have not lived up to expectations. Till now (almost a hundred days), The man has not declared his assets, The guy is reneging in almost all his promises.

YOU'RE NOT IN THIS COUNTRY, so you don't know what's going on. The APC thugs are still waiting for their 5,000 stipend.

**sigh**

I'm not used to typing long stuffs like you. But seriously, Buhari is losing it.

fulanimafia:


Unfortunately the No. (2) which would have been the virile and objective opposition that this administration needs, are almost completely absent as you can tell from the responses to your OP.

Gbawe:


Indeed. For example, some lady is busy mentioning the moot point of '100 day' as motivation for this thread. Will an election be conducted 100 days after a President is voted in? What is then the point of 'campaigning' for Buhari when such is entirely unneeded and unnecessary. As you surmised not many critics of Buhari are in the second category. Buhari is the real thing and things will start 'shaking' soon. Nigerians will need to support him so they can benefit from the tough actions the government will take on their behalf.

Adekamkpe23:
At the end I had to vote Buhari rather than Jonathan, am beginning to regret my decision. The propaganda is just too much, it won Buhari the election, am not sure it will win him any more supporters. The ruling party still behaves like opposition, am sick of this country.
