To start with your last question- YES, we can do without petroleum in Nigeria, albeit with a lot of difficulty.
To your reference on PHCN, time, madam, time.
The telecoms and CEMENT dynamic change did not happen overnight. Slow & steady still wins the race when one is FOCUSED on the goal and ready to make needed SACRIFICE.........just like going to school for several years before finishing vocational, technical, polytechnic or university and starting a viable personal business of getting a job, not so
We BLACK people need to learn to patient;y work towards making steady progress, otherwise we remain SLAVES to the oyinbo "superiors" who nevertheless are EQUALLY intelligent as we are.

Lol . how can you just criticised him knowing fully well that nigerian problems are bigger than nigeria.

I applaud the wisdom in pairing Buhari and Osinbajo.

One General. One Professor. One Nigeria.

That is why i like APC supporters,we are not fanatics

IbokUtoroh:












bros get this into ur brain, if buhari wants to recontest in 2019 no matter how bad he performs he will still win cos kaduna, katsina, kano, borno, jigawa' votes will alter lagos, osun, oyo, imo and pls dont think akwaibom, crossriver, rivers, delta will vote against him cos we will outrightly n totally support him to continue even till he finally dies on the seat.
have a swell evening n stop wailing.
baba dey clear pdp 16 yrs mess n he is taking things slow n steady, and at d fulness of time, things will normalise.

ThisMeansWAR:
lol really? we can do without petroleum? sorry lemme ask, are you drunk? smh

cement really? do you even know how much a bag of cement cost with all the competitions?

even in telecommunication that you lot use as an example, do you want to compare the telecomm industry of Nigeria to that of uk that still have a functioning national network that is putting other private networks on their toes? .. no? here we decided to sell everything in the name of privatization.


you lot don't understand that privatizing any sector of our economy completely will never solve the problem but partially privatizing it is always a way to go.
why not retain phcn and allow private investors to also invest in power, that way everyone competes. people chose what is best for them.

what you people don't understand is, every businessman is in business to make money by any means necessary, only government institutions can enforce a true competition..

Keep consoling yourself. I wonder how much longer before the scales fall off your eyes also.

Your prefix caveat is in reality laughable.

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.

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!

obailala:
Please I don't have time for that. It was a loooooong torturous journey trying to explain to you guys why GEJ wasn't a good president but no matter what was said, even God himself would have had a hard time explaining to you guys.

The entire world could see GEJ's unsuitability, but ONLY the SS and SE could not see it then. Even now, most of the SS have finally admitted to this GEJ's unsuitability but stated the obvious reasons why they still just had to support him; hence only the SE is still yet to see this. Like I said, I don't have the time for that to go back into the torturous details, the elections are now over and God has already helped Nigeria by doing the needful on the 28th of March.

For now, I can only hope for things to get better.

owanguy:

basilo101:
Just admit that the Dullar.d has failed

dewstar:


Off course GEJ's hands where tied, but myopic Nigerians refused to see this. It was even more tied considering the background he had (was not a military man and did not have powerful men as real friends to start with), myopic Nigerians did not see this. Even the powerful pseudo friend(s) and support he had and that would have helped him turned around to give a hand in pulling him down just because he would not play boy-boy to them, yet, myopic Nigerians would not see this.

Rose2014:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, This Passingshot guy is the type of adviser any government in power should have, whether GEJ or PMB
The keyword is truth(which our leaders are allergic to btw ) . As a leader, What's the point in surrounding yourself with sycophants n zombies that will keep singing ur praise even when u're obviously misfiring.
Yet once u fail and you're voted out, they'll be the first to decamp to the other party?

On a second note, I don't see Buhari as someone that listens to advice(Too bad, though I may be wrong). If that is the case, you might as well be talking to a wall
Hope he listens sha and address this issue ASAP. Instead of addressing the problem, all we're seeing is his Kim Kardashian pictures touring round the world when his subjects are keeping vigil at gas stations. Smh

Anyway those that trekked for him after the election. With this scarcity now, Their dream of trekking has come true.lmao

Nice job sir. Respect

I'm a die hard apc supporter but I must say I love your selflessness on national issues like this! This is a true way to go, I de follow you passingshot.
