The rate of crime and tribalism has changed. Even the value of naira has changed.

Corruption has changed as we now experience budget padding as the presidiot confirmed is his first time he is experiencing and hearing about such....

You claim you are fighting corruption, yet no corrupt individual has been convicted.

Fashola and amaechi are your ministers.

Fake change

The Change president believes he was voted in to protect the economy from foreign and local scavengers who he feels are only out to take blood from the economy at the expense of the masses. To him, the exchange rate should probably be 1:1, after all he calls the shot. In response to the President’s wishes, the CBN has refused to devalue the naira for the third time since 2013. The parallel market on the other hand has continued to depreciate the value of the naira following demand by speculators and those who genuinely need it for transactions. Things are unlikely to change even if the CBN decides it wants to devalue today. The pent-up demand cannot be met especially if oil prices continue to dip. For anyone looking for a sign of relief, just keep a close watch at the Brent Crude price. The post above and its ensuing comments, if any, is purely the opinion of the writer(s). It therefore should never be considered as an investment advise of any sort.

Buhari is Definitely Not the Anwser

Several weeks ago when
Professor Wole Soyinka took a
swipe at General Buhari as a
presidential candidate, there was
an avalanche of angry northern
responses condemning the Nobel
laureate's attack on their favoured
candidate. Most of the responses
however did little to address the
salient issues raised by the
Professor in his critique. Even
when they did their responses
were puerile and insulting to the
intelligence of Nigerians.
A case in point is Mohammed
Haruna's absurd rationalization of
Buhari's double standard in
confining Shagari to house arrest
while jailing other political
detainees including the erstwhile
Vice president who exercised no
power in the ill-fated 2nd republic.
Mallam Haruna would have us
believe that Shagari's house
arrest was actually worse than
being jailed in Nigeria's
notoriously inhospitable gulag, on
the grounds that Shagari was in
solitary confinement. Apparently
solitary confinement (if at all that
was the objective) is not possible
in prison, only in the comfort of a
furnished flat.
Other pro-Buhari agitators vainly
tried to box us into a false
dilemma. Since the Nobel
Laureate condemned the
presidential candidature of both
Buhari and Yar'Adua, who were
Nigerians supposed to vote for ?
This is a dim-witted question in
nation of 140 million people with
more than 40 political parties and
over 20 presidential candidates.
In his critique, Professor Soyinka
amply documented Buhari's
numerous human right abuses for
which the arrogant, unrepentant
General never expressed any
remorse nor apologies even when
offered the opportunity at the
Oputa panel. Yet his sycophants
would have Nigerians entrust him
with executive presidential
powers. What's the guarantee
that he won't turn out to be
another tyrant like Obasanjo -
notorious for his appalling abuse
of presidential powers ?
The General's selling point
appears to be the hype about his
supposed moral integrity, which
will supposedly translate to
eradication of corruption. A trip
down memory lane however tells
us different. Under the late dark-
goggled General, Buhari presided
over PTF (petroleum trust fund),
which was later revealed to be a
cesspool of corruption. If the
supposedly incorruptible Daura
general couldn't stop corruption
in PTF, then he obviously can't
be trusted to eradicate corruption
from Nigeria. Let's not forget that
Obasanjo, Nigeria's present
failure, made similar anti-
corruption noises at the inception
of his maladministration in 1999.
The infamous 53 suitcase saga
during Buhari's 20 month military
misrule also raises questions
about his commitment to the
eradication of corruption. A
northern Emir was accosted by
Custom agents at Lagos
international airport with 53
suitcases of currency in direct
violation of the prevailing laws.
Buhari redeployed the principled
customs officer – our current
embattled vice president – who
apprehended the Emir, while
allowing the sacred cow Emir to
go scot free. Ironically in several
circles today, that principled
customs officer - vice president
Atiku Abubakar - is portrayed as
corrupt while Buhari is hailed as
incorruptible.
Contrast Buhari's kid's glove,
pat-on-the-back for the 53-
suitcase Emir, with Fela's unjust
imprisonment ostensibly for failing
to declare his own hard earned
foreign currency. The truth of the
matter is that the vindictive Buhari
never forgave the late Afrobeat
maestro for his popular hit tune
Army Arrangement , in which Fela
sang about the 2.8 billion Naira
that reportedly disappeared from
our nation's oil accounts while
Buhari was petroleum minister. In
the song, Fela captured the
public cynicism of government
denial of the scandal…not
surprising, given the poor
credibility of most Nigerian
governments… Dem set up enquiry,
Dem say money no lose O !
To any discerning mind, Buhari's
discriminatory enforcement of the
law enforcement a.k.a. "selective
justice" vis-à-vis Shagari /
Ekwueme detention, and Fela / 54
case Emir currency violations
clearly indicate that the general is
no different from Nigeria's present
tormentor, Obasanjo who is using
EFCC to witch-hunt and
persecute his political
adversaries.
It is common knowledge that one
of Nigeria's major problems is our
economic malaise and
underdevelopment. General
Buhari's actions as military head
of state suggest that he is bereft
of some of the basic economic
principles required for running a
nation's economy. Faced with the
scarcity of "essenco" (essential
commodities) during his regime,
our Daura General came up with
the brilliant brainwave of sending
armed soldiers to forcibly break
into shops and compel traders to
sell goods below their purchase
price. Even today as the 2007
presidential campaign heats up,
Buhari - like several other
presidential candidates – is yet
to enunciate sound economic
policies to transform Nigeria.
Then there is the issue of Buhari's
pseudo-religious demagoguery,
which has sometimes been
mistaken for religious fanaticism.
At the height of Nigeria's Sharia
crisis when there was a real
danger of Nigeria being torn apart
along religious lines, the General
added fuel to the raging Sharia
fire that was threatening to
consume the nation by supporting
the promulgation of discriminatory
religious laws in our multi-
religious country contrary to our
secular constitution. Buhari failed
to rise above sectional ethno-
religious interests as was
expected of a former head of state
and presumed statesman.
If the General really believed in
Sharia law, why didn't he
promulgate it as military head of
state ? One is therefore forced to
conclude that the general was
simply playing to the northern
gallery – hypocritical religious
demagoguery for cheap popularity
among the northern masses,
hence his undeserved saintly
reputation. Or perhaps he was a
coward who lacked the guts to
prosecute the Sharia Jihad while
he was in power. The General
later compounded matters by
publicly instructing Muslims to
only vote for Muslims. His
sycophants and propagandists
have unconvincingly tried to deny
or "explain" his statement, but the
arrogant general never bothered.
Perhaps because of his self-
serving judicial battle against
Obasanjo's infamous 419 re-
election in 2003, Buhari has been
misleadingly promoted in some
quarters as a "champion of
democracy". In the run-up to the
2003 gubernatorial election in
Kano state, Ibrahim "Little" Amin
won the ANPP nomination fair
and square, and was publicly
declared as such. Saint Buhari,
the democrat was instrumental to
scheming out Mallam Amin and
imposing the current Kano state
governor, Mallam Ibrahim
Shekarau. It just goes to show
that if Buhari had been
Obasanjo's shoes in 2003, he
would have rigged the election
just as like OBJ.
Nigerians should be wary of
recycling leaders who have failed
us before. Obasanjo's disastrous
presidency in the face of
enormous oil revenues is more
than enough lesson. As has been
painstakingly elucidated above,
Buhari presidency would be no
different from Obasanjo's current
ruinous misrule.
