Wailers would soon come castigate the messager instead to accept the message in good faith. They hate any message that prick their conscience.

God bless you sir. The states are solely dependent on the federal government. Can't the states build a small factory or even company? Yet, everyone is blaming buhari for his/her family problem.


Anyway, Wailing is now a hobby

But Buhari wasn't blaming the States for all the shortcomings of the last administration, was he ?

You are all a bunch of hypocrites.

It is now that you know how hot the seat of power is.

If looks like poo and smells like poo, then we don't have to fold our arms for thev4 yrs to finally admit what we are suspecting.

"I would like to stress that the change that Nigerians want cannot be accomplished by the government at the centre alone. There will be no change in Nigeria without the involvement of the states. Unfortunately, the states are overlooked while everybody is focusing on the Federal Government, which is totally misplaced".

The post is completely nonsensical.

Where is the OP when APC and Alhaji Lie Mohammed made Nigerians to believe that the problem and solution of Nigeria rest with the President ?

Lie Mohammed during his campaign of calumny against the last administration overlooked the aspect of other tiers of government and focus only on the Federal Government. One ediot is now posting garbage with his tortoise brain asking idiotic questions.

Una never see anything... yeye fifu.

its good to have tortoise brain that to have sheep brain like that of the APC followers

What do you think is corruption?
Stealing public money.

Let me repeat for those that are mature enough to understand; stealing is not corruption.
Corruption goes way beyond the act of stealing.
Corruption is a state of mind, a perverse state of mind.

When a person sworn to uphold the Constitution deliberately subverts it, then that is the ABC of corruption.
Corruption means perversion of a system or order.
Anything, any group, any person that uses authority to subvert a law or a system is corrupt and promotes corruption.

With that in mind, Buhari and his state agents are corrupt and are promoting corruption in the polity.

Buhari's growing list of corruption practices.

1. Detaining persons beyond the statutory 48hrs without charge.

2. Disobeying court orders.

There have been several cases to date.

3. Interfering with the Independence of the CBN.

4. Harassment of opposition members of Ekiti state
legislature by agents of the State. A clear violation of the separation of powers.

5. Violations of due process in the sacking of 12 Vice Chancellors of federal universities.

6. Joining a military coalition of Arab states without consultations and approval from the legislature.

7. Nepotism .
Unabashaedly Appointing his friends and loyalists to official federal positions ( our collective Commonwealth) , is one of the worst forms of corruption.

And many many more.

The point I am trying to get across here is that you cannot claim to flight corruption if you don't even understand what it is.

If Buhari wants to fight people who have stolen public funds, let him say so, not corruption.

Corruption is a bigger, all pervasive mental infrastructure of which Buhari himself, by his many actions, is also greatly infected.

Let's stop the deceit.

Buhari is a no-nonsense man with a fraudulent budget. This writer is a waste. Does he think everyone has short memory like him? It is obvious that he has forgotten that buhari gave time frame in some of his promises.

If someone says that he will do something for you every year if you elect him and you bought the lie and vote for him, won't you complain when the first year is about to run out and you haven't seen anything?

But his now wasting funds in oil exploration in the north Now he's watching herdsmen destroy farms and farms products. From you farm, government buys to you farm, fulani men kills you and burn your house and you still expect people to be patient?

He promised to create but we are seeing is loss of jobs instead.

But now I am speechless.

but what we see now is destruction of homes in benue state and you still expect Nigeria no be patient?


No! It doesn't work that way. He saw Nigerians eating beans with one meat and He said NO! You deserve better, make me the head and you will start eating rice and beans with 3 meats, the gullible ones got him into power and now what we are eating or rather smoking is sugarless garri so if at all anybody should be likened to a tortoise, it is definitely uncle go slow.

Complete nonsense with fluid stupidity filled to the brim.
Who is asking Buhari to perform any magic? The op seems to be mental patient.
What Nigerians are asking for is purposeful leadership with brilliant intelligent approach.
So according to the op brain ,positive change is when a president spends 7 solid month globetrotting and yet refuse to constitute an economic team immediately after taking over
What about the budget padding ?whose fault was that? I guess the fault is from the so called op tortoise grin
What about the fake anti corruption crusade?when criminals such as amaechi and co are part of this government despite the overwhelming corruption accusations and allegations against them with enough enough evidence ? I guess it is the tortoise fault again
Has buhari spoken about Fulani criminal activities since he became president?obviously the op will say that is the tortoise fault again
Ppl should always take their time and reason well and intelligently before writing trashy articles,you are not forced to write ,if you have nothing intelligent and sensible to write about just shut up and dont insult the masses intelligence

This is no change. From the beginning of any change you can see signs that the change would work and be genuine. Buhari change is deceptive sectional and bias. Ibet you by the time buhari is through with his change we will be yeaning for another change from the problems he is going to cause. Any change in Nigeria that will not address the dubious federation we have whereby state will continue to come and share money every month is doomed.

Infact the more they try to paint buhari white as an angel of change ,the more they damage his popularity because all the points they usually bring out in support of buhari always negates what buhari is doing. Even liar Mohammed who manufactures lies for apc with reckless abandon has run out id steam and can longer defend buhari inadequacies
and failings .even people who are been paid heavily to defend buhari are finding the job tremendously difficult because there is virtually nothing to write about or defend except boko haram issue .
