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.
I agree with you. I wish many Nigerians will realise this.

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.
Could you tell me any other road in Ota being constructed by Winners apart from the failed portion of the Idiroko Road, just after the main gate of Canaan Land?

Yeah. No doubt he seems a bit slow.
The reason some of us defend PMB is that those that criticize him constantly due so not for any nationalist or patriotic reasons but because the fisherman was defeated and they lost the perks of his corrupt and clueless govt.
Be that as it may, where I find my own issues with PMB and where I feel he has fallen short are in these areas :
-For months he has been telling us corrupt people wud be brought to book and soon be known to Nigerians,yet till now,its still "soon",
-He was supposed to have on swearing in and soon after Senate was inaugurated,sent critical bills or acts on whistle blower,establishment of special courts and public assets declaration.He hasn't.
-He allowed a corrupt senator to dribble him and the APC leadership to become sp and it seems as if Saraki has still got the better of PMB and in the process making a mockery of his famed anti corruption crusade.
- The economy is bleeding,thru no fault of his,yet he doesn't seem to feel it's an economic emergency that requires drastic and immediate action.
-The current fuel crisis is purely his own making and the bulk stops at his table.People are passing thru pain and no matter if it's sabotage or not,a president is elected to solve the problem.
PMB has done fairly well, but his shortcomings are those that affect us critically and his slowness is not helping matters at all.
As I always said, bliv in PMB and his destiny to restore the nation cannot blind even we his supporters not to critic him when he is not living up to our hopes.

The president has finally seen that the cabal is more powerful than he earlier imagined. They're even stronger than Nigeria itself. Some of the leaders of his party is a strong member of the cabal;"the people who control Nigeria's economy. No wonder he said in Iran that his hands are tied. The exact situation GEJ found himself that made them label him "clueless". Where shall we run to? This is the only country we have.

One would have expected that Buhari would learn from the mistakes made by previous administration but he is evidently shaping up to be a more excruciating nightmare.

Jonathan probably would have done a better if he was the one that succeeded Buhari instead of the current arrangement.

Buhari has been a disappointment so far...
GEJ would have been a good president if Nigeria wasn't a complex, corruption-ridden society. Buhari obviously has his flaws, lots of flaws, one of which is his obvious stubbornness to take advise. However, I still maintain my faith and focus my hopes on certain qualities which he brings to the table. My simple wish and prayer is for the country to be better.

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. [/b]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[b].

May God Bless Nigeria!

Forget about 2019. Buhari can never give us a free and fair election.

We'll have to endure him till he hands over in 2023 and that's the bitter truth. These old military men have ways of denying us our rights to free and fair election. We are about to see the win at all cost mentality that was OBJ's motto.

Lets pray he hands over to a civilian Northerner and not another retired military man.

As it stands now, we have no option but to pray that God enacts some supervening acts on Nigeria.

Jonathan bungled it. He knew it. He was asking for a second chance which reactionary elements driven by primordial considerations were not willing to allow.

Buhari on the hand is just underwhelming day in day out. It confounds how a man who spent decades preparing for elective office/leadership is choking on the soapbox.

every time obj increseases fuel, he would say he removed subsidy and deregulating downstream.. There are many jingles about it then self canvassing support for it, 6 months later, he is removing the subsidy he already removed before. You now wonder,.. Which subsidy again?

Point is, there are many cabals eating fat on this crises... Even if the government hands off petroleum sector completely, the problem still won't go away and probably get worse... Why?

1st, petrol price will continue to rise, and the government won't be able to do anything about it.
Even now that we still have government regulating everything and paying heavily on subsidy, we still have some importers and marketers hoarding fuel to create artificial scarcity in order to make more money .. Now imagine when nobody is regulating nothing ..
look at countries like Britain that put everything in the hands of capitalists...a liiter of fuel goes for as high as 500 naira per liter during oil boom the citizens can pay because the minimum way alone covers it but can the same be said about Nigeria where minimum wage is less down 60 pounds? Can you buy fuel at the rate of 300naira per liter when the crude oil price increases again ?


The only solution I would offer is investing more into refineries and supporting private refineries.. That way, the government won't have to import any fuel in to the country, and Any subsidy would be paid to the private refineries or goverment refineries..

That would make importing fuel less lucrative and cabals will disappear in a blink of an eye.

We could even exchange oil for subsidy.. We own the crude oil, we give it to refineries in nigeria free, then they refine and sell to nnigerians at a very cheap rate .. I heard nigeria comsumes less down 100thousand barrel per day, that shouldn't be a problem for Nigeria that produces over 2million barrels per day.
