Alot of people do actually want the Buhari led Federal Government of Nigeria to fail woefully so that they can prove their points that Buhari is a dictator, that he is no saint, that he lacks the rudiment of leadership or they simply want him to fail for the mere fun of it. Oh how wicked people can be! Imagine gambling with our collective future as a nation just to prove a silly point!
One thing is certain and clear, one way or another Buhari has found himself as our President and he shall remain as such for the next few years. He was elected President at a dire moment in our national history. The price of crude oil is falling and our richest buyers have abandoned us for other sources. The economy is in a bad shape and corruption has enveloped all aspects of the society so deep that even children are corrupt! Nigeria at this point is headed for failure except we have credible leadership and we wish the nation well.
Let us look at what will happen if Nigeria should fail, as some detractors want. For one, unemployment will double and with unemployment comes the plague of violent crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping, ritual murder, etc. These crimes wont be directed at the leaders who have good security but at the masses, you and I, who did not wish the government well.
Another thing that will happen should the government fail is that the Nation shall be split and a civil war is bound to follow. Nigeria, that has remained one since 1914 against all odds, shall be divided into various factions and each of these factions shall fight each other for land, resources, etc and who will suffer for it? It is you and I as well. War is never a good thing, no matter the intention for which it is fought.
If the government fails, the Naira will lose all value and inflation shall occur. Imagine buying a chewing gum at the rate of N1000. That is bound to happen if things go south. When inflation happens, the leaders wont suffer for it, they will most likely move abroad and get their basic needs there. However, we the masses shall suffer in penury should this occur. Even business men, importers/exporters and criminals like internet fraudsters (Yahoo Boys) wont be exempted from the sufferings because they wont be able to cash out their dollars and pounds in Nigeria!
Imagine our corrupt officials stealing our national wealth to foreign countries and allowing us to suffer in penury for crimes we did not commit. Imagine these leaders living flamboyantly whilst people cannot even afford a bread for breakfast! This shall happen if we allow this government to fail by pushing her to the wall and crying foul play and selective justice!
Insecurity shall become our collective problem should the government fail. Boko Haram shall gain more strength, more territories and possibly launch attacks on other parts of the country.
If this government fails, Nigerians will become pariahs in global affairs! No one will want to associate with Nigeria due to our notoriety. Even Ghana, Niger, Togo and Benin will dissociate themselves from us. We will be in debt that we may never be able to pay for decades! Infrastructure will be zero and development shall recede like a jet fueled plane.
If this government fails, money will be scarce as is already being predicted by detractors! Jobs will be lost and even those with jobs wont be paid. Imagine if this happens to you or your family members and friends! Imagine a government that cannot pay salaries for 12 months+. Imagine the poverty, hunger, frustration that we will encounter! No one will be exempt from it. Not even businesses because if no one has money to buy anything, businesses will crumble down and fail. There will be widespread suffering. Even Nigerian students in diaspora will be forced to return and join the league of sufferers.
In fact, our sufferings will be innumerable should this government fail. Worse still shall be the fact that even if another government comes on board, it shall take years, possibly a decade, for things to go back to normal if we continue with our bad attitude. No other government may get it right if this government leaves with things going worse. The past 16 years have been bearable because we had money in the country due to our crude. However, that crude money is dwindling, we are in a state of oil gloom. Capital projects may not be developed without money, infrastructure will go obsolete and there wont be money to repair and maintain them.



I am not saying that we cannot criticize government and her policies but such criticisms should be constructive and productive. The previous government failed because we were prophesying doom rather than giving constructive criticisms and opinions. Rebirth takes time. Even the Renaissance of Europe took over a century to reach its peak! I believe Buhari has the experience and wherewithal to make Nigeria a better place. I believe in him, not for any other thing but for the fact that if he fails, we all FAIL!
The best way we can encourage them is to pray for them and criticise them constructively by saying what they are doing wrong and how they can do it better. Right now, we are only seeing what is going wrong! The real question is HOW CAN THINGS BE BETTER? I haven't seen any critic answer this question. I learnt in school from my great teacher and Associate Professor, Dr. Sunny Awhefeada, that criticism is baseless when recommendations are not made! He averred that Criticism without recommendation is nothing but an insult, an attack and a spell for doom. Criticism with recommendations is productive and it is a tell-tale sign of patriotism.
We tend to believe governance is left for those in government without realising that governance is everybody's affairs. If the government fails, we also fail with them. Governance must start from our hearts! Most people saying 'Buhari this, Buhari that' are the most corrupt fellows spoiling Nigeria! Some of these youths who come online to prophesy doom are actually internet fraudsters, thieves, tribalists, practisers of nepotism, favouritism and givers/takers of bribes. Many of them give money to their lecturers to pass exams, others sleep outrightly with lecturers. Many of them collect the hard earned thousands and hundreds of dollars, euros and pounds of foreigners in the name of "Yahoo-Yahoo" and still come and say our leaders are corrupt! I pray God should not smite the souls of hypocrites in this nation! How can we prophesy doom when we are all GUILTY of the same thing we accuse government of? Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was a good man but we collectively spoilt his governance, with his input, by calling him "clueless" without suggesting ways for him to be "clueful". We made his government worse by prophesying doom and now we want to finish the destruction we started in this new administration. May God FORGIVE US ALL!!!
Please pray for Buhari to succeed because of our collective future. Pray for him to rule this country with wisdom rather than spew bunkums that bother on doom. Can anyone survive a civil war in Nigeria? Can we survive hardships, prolonged nationwide insecurity, inflation of currency and prices, fuel scarcity, etc? Nobody wants to suffer!!! Buhari certainly wants to leave a legacy and be immortalised as the President who led us to our Eldorado. Let us be patient and criticise constructively. Instead of saying "We have entered ONE CHANCE" or "Baba is CLUELESS", let us say "Baba should have said or done this instead of saying or doing this" . Nigeria is a delicate project and her future is in our hands! Let us make 2016 our year of globalisation and industrialisation. I am not a partisan politician neither am I in support of any party but I am a national patriot and I have forgone any personal opinion for the betterment of Nigeria! I pray we all do the same. Nigeria is OUR COUNTRY. It doesn't belong to any particular person or group of people. It is OURS! If it succeeds, it is OUR SUCCESS. If it fails, it is OUR FAILURE.

In PMB, I TRUST!

I will keep saying this .. There are too many descendants of Joseph the carpenter ( jesus pop ) in this world .. Bro you deserve a very chilled ORIGIN cause you just nailed it

When Jonathan was in power, we didn't care to listen to this kind of lecture as there were no lecture.

Why now that buhari is in power, that we are having these APC zombie lecturers?

You guys haven't seen anything yet as the misery that comes with the present administration is yet to unfold.

Rubbish

Well It did be unfair if we (Nigerians) dont critise this APC led gov. because they gat to were they re now through propanga an insult.. Am nt in Any way defending GEJ, even if he his from my region, i still feel PDP re criminals and they should all be Punished for the affliction they av caused Nigerians.. But on A lighter note, If we did follow this apc government the way u suggest then They (ApC) will think they re doing great.

Am not an PDP fan but i can tell u that PmB deserve any criticism he his facing now.. You raised a good point.. We re the ones suffering it, Weather Igbo, or Efik or Hausa, or Yoruba or urhobo e.t.c We re the one suffering from this affliction caused by our Greedy politicians..


We will continue to pray for PMB, And Nigeria.. may God strengthen our unity.. We ask this through christ our Lord - Amen

i know the writter very well.. he is not an APC fan.. just drop your contribution or just garrahere

If Buhari fails, it will be clearly because of the destruction that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan caused.

Even at that, whether he is anti APC or sidelined APC. The lecture is a product of APC zombie.

We didn't get this kinda stuff in the previous administration, why would his case be different?
Why the lecture?

It doesnt matter what ppl pray for. If he has what it takes to suceed he will but unfortunately he doent not have and when he eventually fails it should no be blamed on those who prayed for him to fail

Jonathan was a failure did Nigeria fail.?
If buhari fail Nigeria won't fail also.
You people should stop this nonsense just to buy in peoples emotions.
Buhari can only fail himself. And that's a fact.

And give me one reason to convince me why people should pray for Nigeria which is built on fraudulent structure?

Firstly, I am not a partisan politician. Secondly, I am not an "APC zombie" as you put it.

During the time of Jonathan, we were still under the impression that things may get better with time. Things didn't. During Jonathan's era, our economic conditions were much better. At this precarious time in our history Buhari has to succeed. Forget about his promises now. He just has to succeed for our sake. We need to progress as a nation. ARE YOU NOT TIRED OF COMPLAINING?

Listen bro. Do not compare Buhari with Jonathan. Their situations are quite far apart. Let me explain to you.:

-During GEJ's tenure, crude oil was sold at a high price and we had various buyers and so the economy was stable. In Buhari's tenure, the price and buyership of crude oil has dwindled.

-During GEJ's tenure, we had higher foreign reserves. In fact, we were RICH! At the end of GEJ's tenure and in Buhari's tenure, our wealth has dwindled. We are at the brink of being broke as a nation.

-During GEJ's tenure, corruption was unchecked and so public officers were audacious and walked with impunity. In Buhari's tenure, there is a looming fear of what will happen. Corrupt officers are desperate to avoid court cases and above all, the government is implementing stringent economic sanctions and measures to curb money laundering.

-During GEJ's tenure, the amount of unemployed Nigerians were far lesser if compared with the end of his tenure. Due to our limited resources, jobs have been lost and even those who have jobs are not being paid. It could get worse.

-During GEJ's tenure, the media was bought off. AIT, NTA, etc, rarely lampooned the government like seen today in Buhari's government.


I could go on and on. GEJ's failure did not affect Nigeria much because at its peak, there was MONEY!!! In this dispensation, there is no money and insecurity is getting worse. Things are hard. Any mistake could spell DOOM!!! We have to be hopeful. Let us pray for CHANGE! Let us pray that GOD uses BUHARI to move Nigeria to a greater height. If we dont do this, then we are agents of DOOM and we shall suffer the repercussion of our actions.

IT IS WELL!

Do I look like someone that is complaining besides I don't play partisan politics too, that was why I voted for Gej BC he is more competent that Buhari even in the next world.

So my conscience is at peace and please I indulge you to let us have our peace.

You guys should stop causing nuisance stop buying into our emotions as we are not ready to sell it out.
Buhari should sort himself out like a man. Jonathan did it so let him do it.

Prayers ain't working as the APC witches blocked the roofs of Nigeria and threw away the key.
Now is backfiring on them.

Abeg leave me to enjoy my peace. This administration will give all the laughs that I want.

MXrep:

That is where you are wrong sir!


If he fails it is because we LET HIM FAIL!!! We should be able to hold our government accountable for their actions in our own little ways. Can the average Nigerian stage a "real protest"? Can the average Nigerian get signatories to a petition? Can the average Nigerian refuse bribes and fight for the true cause of law, order and justice?

C'mon! Who are we deceiving? Our leaders are ONLY shepherds to guide us to civilisation and development. We must be ready to accept it and encourage it before it becomes a part of us. For now, Nigerians and their behaviour of pointing fingers instead of actively being in governance, shall spell doom for us all if care is not taken.


However, I REJECT DOOM for this Nation! I believe things shall be better either through Buhari himself or indirectly by his government.

When it all goes down, as you infer, please do not run away to Ghana or another nation. Make sure you remain in Nigeria and become the next President. I guess you can do things better.

Some of us cannot even lead a group of dogs without running into problems talk less of leading a group of people.


For your information; I love GEJ!!! I was never his sharp critic. He is a good man. He was only a product of bad circumstances and wrong advisors. He allowed corruption to thrive even though he may not have actively been a part of the corrupt practices himself. He laid the foundation for what is happening today. Buhari, so far, has not done much to unearth the foundation but the foundation may be so deep that it will take more than a few months for that to happen. Buhari will be responsible for whatever actions he takes. However, my own caveat is simple; if we all throw stones instead of thinking of the way forward, we shall all be VICTIMS!!!

I heard you well bro, but which other change are we praying for again?
Or are you confused in your thoughts?
Lol.
Aragagba ndi ara oo

Which one is agent of doom again?
So if you don't pray for Nigeria we are automatically agent of doom?
What of pegans and atheist that don't believe in prayers.
And how sure are you that our prayers will be answered if we pray for Nigeria and firstly praying against the witchcraft in our roofs.

My guy leave matter, if Buhari will succeed he will.
And if he will fail he will. Don't blame the citizens that didn't offer prayer as is not their fault.
Gej was more competent.

There are many ways to pray for a nation. Being positive about our future is a prayer!

I wont spend time arguing with you on this. Maybe whenever you become President (if you can be voted in and if Nigeria exists till then), you can do things the way you want and people shall pay off your karma by wishing doom unto your leadership.


Do you think Buhari will be affected if Nigeria fails That man is close to his grave! He has made all he can. He has seen it all and he has lived his life. He wont be perturbed if things go south because he may not likely be there to see them. It is you and I and our children that will suffer the effect of things going bad. Even if Buhari lives and the nation goes awry, he has made enough money to last his great great great grand children. Capiche?

Very simple and nice
Stone us if buhari fails to deliver

Boy we have no argument on ground OK.
I will personally join mouth to those whose buhari injustice is melted upon.
That's the only way I can contribute.

And if buhari finally can deliver any of his campaign promises. I will side him and pray for him.
But now am just watching his incompetence and am laughing out loud.

You spewed this rubbish and Nigerians clicked LIKE!!! Chei! This is exactly the reason why all of us will suffer if things dont work out. How can a sane mind pray for misery? Do you know what misery is? Do you think we have ever suffered misery in this country? As imperfect as GEJ's government was, Nigerians were not in misery. Now you want PMB to put us in Misery? God WILL NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN TO MY DEAR NATION. This is not even an issue of Buhari anymore, I am tired of complaining! I am tired of hearing people wail and weep! I am pledged to the Nigerian project! Nigeria shall be great and GOD SHALL EMBARRASS YOU this new year.

For those clicking LIKE, are you or were you ever jobless? If yes, is Buhari the cause? Now imagine if Buhari adds to the failure that caused our collective unemployment! Do you think you can sleep at home peacefully? Armed robbery will have a permanent site in every street! Even Yahoo-Yahoo wont work because there'd be no dollars in the country to exchange with. Imagine being without food for days, without a job and with insecurity as the order of the day. I wouldnt even wish that for my greatest enemy. Your ability to wish misery on Nigerians show that you lack any form of sympathy even to your own family members! It speaks volumes of the level of your sanity.

I really really pray that this government succeeds so that you guys can laugh in your shame. I'd bookmark this day and remember your username. When Nigeria gets better, I'd make a post and mention you as one of the agents of doom and how GOD HAS SHAMED YOU and your fellows!
