Beremx and co are being forced to face the reality now that Pshot is leading the thought process.

I have chosen not to complain on this thread or rub salt to injury.

But seriously?
This is a time of sober reflection to all political sycophants.
If perchance I am one without realizing, then I'm not excluded.

Yeah. A real time for sober reflection especially for the new Wailers In Town

Warning: Let no wailer see this as an opportunity to wail uncontrollably. This article is in line with my personal resolve to call the president to order on this forum whenever he missteps. Besides, GEJ was not an option in the last election. So, please keep your sermon of “we told you”, “we warned you”, “Buhari is incompetent” and other bla bla blas to yourself.

Fuel Scarcity: Deafening Silence from the president
One area that our hopes and expectations of good result of Buhari’s presidency were high is in the petroleum industry. Apart from the fact that the president has failed to find a permanent solution to the issue of oil subsidy in the last six months he has presided over the affairs of Nigeria, he has also failed to provide petrol to Nigerians at the regular pump price of N87 and with ease.

To say that the current situation of fuel scarcity has brought untold hardship and resulted in irreplaceable loss of productive time is an understatement. The more worrisome is the fact that the president who doubles as the nation’s minister of petroleum has not deemed it fit and necessary to address the nation (through TV or through one of his media aides) on the hardship citizens are passing through and also use the opportunity to apologize and assuage our anger. This silence is too deafening to be ignored and I hereby condemn it in its entirety, the president’s handling of the fuel scarcity we have at our hands. He should as a matter of national urgency address the nation on what is happening, the government’s efforts to normalize it and above all the long term solution (if not permanent) to the problem. Anything short of this amounts to taking Nigerians for a ride. Pure and simple!

Excessive Overseas Trip
Another area I think the president has erred in recent times is that of gallivanting abroad at every given opportunity. When ministers had not come on board I could understand the need for him to personally attend to those numerous summits and conferences but with the coming of all ministers I’d expected that there will be a drastic reduction in such journeys. The latest one to Iran for Gas Exporting Countries didn’t require his personal presence plus that of Ibe Kachikwu (Min. of state for petroleum) and Tunde Fashola (Min of Power, Works and Housing). He could have let Kachikwu and Fashola attend that one and if he must attend he should have let Ibe Kachikwu stay at home tending to the fuel crisis at hand.

As if the gaffe of the Iran trip was not enough, I read moment ago that the president is due to lead a delegation to Paris on Climate Change! Now, this one is a trip too many in my opinion. We have more pressing issues at home than climate change. Besides, we have a minister of Environment who can lead a Nigerian delegation if we must attend. Why our president must reduce himself to “Ajala travels all over the world” in the face of enormous challenges at the home front beats my imagination.

Dear PMB, you have a chance to prove to Nigerians that we did not make a mistake in electing you president. If you however choose to do as it pleases you even in the face of sufferings of the common man, 2019 is not far away.

May God Bless Nigeria!

That's what opposition politics is meant to do.

I didn't want to bring that to the fore because the fact that he took a step shows he has strength of character, unlike some of them who are irredeemable.

I appreciate your honesty in pointing out some of the presidents' failings. That is the kind of spirit we need for our democracy to survive. If GEJs supporters had done the same, he probably will still be president today but most chose to be sycophants.
I've always said it that anyone offering blind support to any politician is either benefiting directly from them or he's being plain stupid. The only thing the common man gains from the political class is the good governance provided. So, why blindly supporting politicians who fail to perform.

Your last paragraph sums it all.

I withdrew my support for Rochas because it is obvious he has failed woefully in governing IMO state. I might do the same to President Buhari if he keeps with his sluggish and non-challant attitude in dealing with hardship Nigerians are facing.

I am still angry that small generators have been banned without due consultation from the nigerians. I haven't seen any genuine reason why it was banned.

PMB should not disappoint people who voted massively for him.

No chance again Buhari has been in office for more than six month now nothing has change for good. I regretted voting for apc. For example Gov Amosun promised to complete all project embarked upon if reelected but we can't see him again. He promised to repair Atan-Agbara road where Ogun state is getting lion share of its revenues yet APC/Amosun scammed us. Thank God for Winner Chapel Led by Bishop Oyedepo, has embarked repairing all roads in sango ota. APC wanted power at all cost and it was given to them no they are confused.

Fuel Subsidy Scam: Senate Releases Names Of Cabal

Oando Oil, CONOIL, African Petroleum and MRS Oil are among the powerful players in the petroleum sector that have shared over N3.655 trillion between 2006 and September 2011 in pursuit of importation of refined petroleum products.

Not too long ago, Gov El Rufai spoke about been tired in just 5 months that he feels been governor for 4 years can drain an individual. This is why I usually advice for us all to pray for our country rather than praying for a leader to fail. Little do people know that such prayer has an impact on their lives and the future of the generation. I advice APC supporters to swallow their pride and take advice from people rather than calling them wailers. I plead with all Nigerians to please pray for our country and leaders to succeed because the solution of this country will come from God and not a single man. And we must remember that it is Sai God Almighty and not Sai any man.

I for one believe the current fuel scarcity is the symptom from the current attempt of FG to break away from the yoke of the fuel marketers cabal., definitely we cant continue in this situation, something must give way. I dont subscribe to govt waiting till dec 2015 to verify that virtually our refineries are irredeemable, the process to scrap them must begin NOW, we must replace ASAP, and can later privatise, If Dangote refineries come up in 2017 godwilling, there should be no internal monopoly.

The Buhari govt came in at a very trying time for Nigeria, at 40usd/barrel of oil , the economy of the country is in distress, but it is a fortunate unfortunate situation, a blessing in disguise.

You're disappointed discovering that you've been scammed with the change mantra, and instead of you to barefacedly admit it, you are trying to play smart.

What we're seeing with this presidency for now is just the prelude. We are in for an austere ride with the man Buhari.

Many of more sai Buharians will join the wagon of wailer in days to come. Because they'll find it very hard to defend this APC government with what we'll be witnessing some days from now.
