For ordinary Nigerians (ie non political Nigerian), this will be a grim and dark interview. Is Nigeria doomed regarding leadership? His comments on foreign education for his kids vs for other, the budget etc are very disturbing!

What's your take?

This man is a dullard indeed

The same Islamic council he said we weren't a part of, only last week in saudi Arabia, is the same one he has declared Nigeria to be a part of.

Fayose and FFK were not wrong
Slowly but surely we will see through the veil.

Lol the change they voted for!!

My own opinion - I think the President still has this dictator attributes in him. Sometimes it's good especially for foreign journalists whose intent is to rubbish you, other times it just make you wonder if the president cares.

On the interview - it appears that the president isn't going to change his position on naira devaluation regardless of the suggestions IMF or world bank. A positive note which I support. The country cannot afford to deplete its foreign reserves on luxuries and the president has said it, if you can afford then proceed, but the country cannot afford it.

On the issue of Biafra, it is quite unfortunate that security operatives would shoot at innocent unarmed protesters. I am definitely against the president on this. I think the police should be sanctioned for being too heavy and a quick solution should be brought to the table, before these protesters improvise and arm themselves, hence creating another security issue for the country.

I clearly observed that the president did not review the budget because he repeatedly told the journalist that she knew more of our budget than himself - that is not a good sign of leadership. The president should have painstakingly review the budget to get a good glimpse rather than rely on advisers, that is why our budget is always padded and never implemented. Mr president if a foreign journalist can take her time to go through our budget, you can also do the same.

Finally, I disagree with the president on remaining with OPEC even when our influence is limited. If the oil cartel do not guarantee us better benefit, it is better we go solo like Russia and gain market share.

Apart from these salient issues, I think the President did well in answering the question. Though they were no questions on how he would transform the economy.

This is what is called constructive criticism.

Well done.

The president needs to communicate more with Nigerians. He expects us to show some understanding but communication is very important if that will happen. I think his advisers around media need to improve and encourage him to speak more to Nigerians. Communication is the most important thing in the period of crisis not what you are doing or intend to do.

I really don't know where we are going to, but let's just hope.

Why are we complaining ? this man has never failed to show who he was, and still is, but we said he has changed . Somebody that openly said christians should vote for christians and moslems for moslem. Some body that said his goal was to see sharia spread through all nigeria, somebody that said abacha never stole, that is the same person they packaged and forced down on us.
When God wants to punish a nation, he send them a bad ruler.. sai baba Sai chanji

The President is simply saying, if you cannot afford overseas study for your kids at the black market rate, don't send them there. Subsidizing foreign study to all Nigerians (by making naira available at official rate for such purpose) is something Govt cannot afford. If overseas study is placed among such items as toothpick and rice which we produce locally,as items which official rate of the naira will not support, I think it is fair. You can send your kids for education aboard at the black market rate of 400 naira to a dollar, but not at the official rate of 199 naira to a dollar.

Wike has recently asked Rivers state sponsored students at overseas school to relocate back to Nigeria so as to continue their education at RSUST and Uniport due to lack of funds. Cut your coat according to your size.

Your president and his advisers are not serious. How many average Nigerians have access to Al Jazeera and other foreign media he's more interested in talking to ?

And this govt want Nigerians to buy made in Nigeria products

This govt is not serious in its policies

You are correct, he only talks when he's outside Nigeria but not to Nigerians

Lolz... it still baffles me that some people are still expecting some goodies from dis dullard of a President. Buhari is a big Scam take it or leave it.

Ok

Nigeria is in trouble. Listening to him and trying to defend every questions being asked about government, really shows that this man wasn't event 1% ready for the job. Not even after 9 months. Indeed he's a fulani herds man.

It is really sad that our president does not have an inkling about the national budget he presented to the NASS. The same way he was surprised at the media chat in January 2016, the president even goofed the more this time around. The Aljazeera was the one telling our president the contents of the budget he sent to NASS, withdrew and reworked twice. Again, while Buhari can afford to send his children to study abroad at official dollar rates, other Nigerians have to accept tough luck of funding their children education with black market rate. Or do we assume that the president also patronizes black market to pay for his children school fees

What a president indeed??

Start around 9:12

I only wonder how long the zombies will defend him.He is even putting shame in the face of Zombies with his answers.

I support the President stance on not funding luxuries with our foreign reserves regardless of whether it is for education or note. The key point to note is that the country do not have enough foreign reserves and it needs to prioritize. People should understand this simple economic term - one do not purchase exotic items if he does not have the means to acquire such item.

The President has said there are essential raw materials the CBN would fund. However, I don't think the CBN has outrightly place a ban on financing education, but it intends to be careful before it is exploited by we, Nigerians.

Presently, Nigerians have buying dollars for BAT/PAT at official rate and selling them at the parallel market. Earlier this week, the CBN has said that over $20billion dollars are domicile in private domicillary accounts in the country, actually this figure is bigger than the present CBN foreign reserves. Then ask yourself, what are people doing with these funds in their accounts?
