Nepotism, tribalism & a faulty geopolitical structure is the bane of Nigeria. even if Buhari is given 50 years with the present structure, he won't achieve much. Nigeria is a parasite feeding exclusively off a robust host, one day, the host will die or develop a defence mechanism that disrupts the parasitic relationship even if it means killing itself (its dying either way, right). as long as the centre controls resources, the resources will be pulled in so many different directions that it ends up not being enough to achieve anything meaningful. Buhari must revisit the structure & build institutions & not make himself the institution. the military had the best chance of making Nigeria better with little resistance but it & the north maintained the status quo for their own selfish interest. OBJ tried, GEJ tried, PMB is trying... however, GEJ was more intelligent to know that you empower people & build institutions. OBJ & PMB see themselves as institutions.

TheGoodJoe:


Long story. Simple questions. How many pipelines were bombed? Or show me a link to a number of pipeline bombings under OBJ.

aresssa:




My question is, is it possible to fix 55 years of neglect and decay including 16 years of PDP's looting, stealing, incompetence and lack of preparedness in less than a year with a less than 6 months passed federal budget?


Just answer Yes or No..

happney65:


Keep on passing the Blame..Go and look for the total number of pipelines that where bombed yourself..Like someone said,Abacha did not complain about IBB,Neither did Abdulsalam complain about Abacha,OBJ came in and meet a greater rot and did not complain..Keep on blaming..Now its the Militants,maybe its my dad you will blame next...Nonesense

aresssa:



Your mathematical calculation sounds goofy, absurd and irrelevant..


Why not just clearly articulate the plans you are expecting and to every reasonable human being, plans need time to manifest into results.


State clearly what plans they should have put in place and how they should go about mkaing it happen.

TheGoodJoe:



You can see, you had to go violent to the point of calling me Nonsense. That shows my point. A lot of people just jump in and follow the bad wagon with out weighing the true problem.

When people say Obasanjo met worse, I would like them to tell us at what level.

When we talk of low price of Crude, OBJ met worse but during OBJ's tenure, Crude Prices shot up and he was able to cushion the economic hardship we faced.

There was a similar rate of inflation of goods and services under OBJ. Things were hard. I remember Al Mustapha explaining how bad things were using a bowl of garri price in the market.

Things were hard for OBJ and he did not fix it in a year or two. His tenure was salvaged by the rise in Crude Oil.

This current administration is facing equivalent but the inflow is even worse because, despite the drop in Crude Oil price, the consistent attack on Crude Oil facilities have not given the administration a chance to fix things.

It is terrible when people want to criticise without painting the whole picture.

GEJ wrecked the country. We can not explain why things are like this without explaining how we came to this point. Expecting GEJ out of the story is a joke. We are talking of a government that looted funds recovered from Abacha.

Babzilla:

To answer your question NO it is not


My question
How does blaming the past government fix the present?

afla:

Since you insist that all the suffering we are presently going through are consequences of 16 years of PDP-

When will we start feeling the consequences of the looting and stealing that is STILL going on?
When will we start feeling the consequences of the upandan economic policy of this administration?

edoyad:


Please explain to us how GEJ wrecked this country ? A country where he left over 30 billion dollars of Foreign reserve, money in the ECA , dollar rate of 180 naira and pumping crude at almost levels not reached in decades. I laugh when I read some of your comments, but like the writer of the article said, people are beginning to see through the smoke and mirrors of the propagandists.

Reyginus:
That's the simple and logical truth. But the article only makes sense to simple and logical people. The majority of Nigerians exhibit a complex level of stupidity. This is not an insult.

To some persons, this country began to exist sixteen years ago. The more complex(in stupidity) take it down to 6 years forgetting that the targeted clueless one only reigned for 5 years. Propaganda is an Art of War. A very powerful one because the Animal(victim) thinks he's in control.

These are the products of a dysfunctional system of Education. A country where Education and Educating is viewed on the Ability to Pass Exams and people rewarded by this Ability and not what they do with it afterwards.

It's education. If you can educate people to your taste they can easily work with you. This is the internet. If people cannot make use of their brains I wonder why it's also difficult to research using the internet. I take it back. That's a paradox.

Like Reno Omokri posited, the best way to shut up a habitual complainant is to ask him for solutions The current man is not willing to answer that yet.

TheGoodJoe:


Tell us how many pipelines were blown by Saboteurs during Obj's reign.

aresssa:



Who are they and why are they rogues and if they were rogues, why didn't GEJ arrest, prosecute and put them in jail before joining the APC?


Some of you just sound and formulate logic like 2 year old children..

aresssa:
I don't see where the President referenced anything about the worthless, disgraced, corrupt and incompetent PDP lately. The writer said the president gives an impression that the PDP achieved absolutely nothing in their 16-year rule and In fact, he sometimes infers that PDP destroyed Nigeria and he cannot perform a miracle in one year to rebuild the country, I just wonder why the same writer failed to articulate exactly what the PDP achieved in 16 years.


1. Is it stable electricity after stealing $20 billion power funds that left us in darkness?

2. Is it the wonderful roads, bridges, quality schools, good hospitals and so on they left behind?

3. Is it the wonderful refineries they destroyed and when they even refused to build new ones to prevent fuel scarcity?

4. Is it how they refused to invest the largest stream of revenue in the history of Nigeria to ease the eventual pains of low fuel prices that was bound to manifest eventually like we are experiencing today?

5. Is it using our money to or how they turned our public institutions like the NNPC into election financiers?


6. Is it how they looted and shared our money, bought mansions jets, cars and so on.


7. Are not even waking up daily to sad news about how they looted this and that?



The writer would love for us to forget that the PDP did not rule for 16 years and the horrible mess they left behind should not be part of our memory of history and we are in this situation by accident.

Unfortunately for the goofy writer, we know exactly how we got here and we won't forget or stop letting Nigerians know the evil mess they left behind.


What a waste of time and internet bandwidth..

No matter how we dance around this issue, this administration is facing an uphill battle. OBJ met bad times but he also met good fortunes with the rise of Crude Oil price to salvage our nation.
We pray President Buhari and hi teams meet such good fortune. If they do not, we pray for God's guidance to give them the wisdom to scale out of this situation.
However, the Saboteurs should know that sabotaging this government because of their myopic bigotry and corrupt sentiments is making a grave future for the country and their children will also face the hardship.
If this government wins, we win.

TheGoodJoe:


You guys make it look like if the government explaining why we are finding it difficult scaling out of the rot means that is their solution. Even you know is not true.

Is there any place you read a current official say blaming the past government will fix the system? So why make such a statement.

This is one year away from the captivity of freedom of corruption which melted the system. There is no way you can explain why things are bad without pointing out the decay were facing.

Power = GEJ pushing most of our Power establishments to his corrupt goons. Do you expect us to easily fix power after such rot.

Low Foreign Reserves = GEJ and his cohorts siphoned our reserves openly. Can we fix the system in one year after this? No. Can Kemi Adeosun explain the challenges without pointing out the challenges.

The fact is the supporters of the Corrupt regime are tired of hearing the evil and reckless government the supported. So hearing it is like a loud noise to their ears.

As long as we are navigating out of the incessant corruption of GEJ and hi cohorts, an explanation of the harm they caused must come up.

No one says it is a solution. From power to the Oil Sector, we have to deal with the rot.

edoyad:


That is t

That is the whole point. If this government wins , we win , it doesn't matter what Jonathan or Abiola did. But instead of us hearing news about ongoing developments and plans to ease suffering, we keep hearing about their vindictive Agenda while we languish in pain.
People are tired man

Reyginus:
Unfortunately we'd keep hearing it. That's the Plan. You know, if you don't keep people busy they'd find time for something else. That's the method.

But there's a limit to what a brainwashed man will do. Like TuPac said, one day the poor will have nothing to eat and they will eat the rich people.

Someday, like we are already having, when these blind supporters crave for something more than the usual mental food they'd break off these shackles.

What's needed right now is a spark. The people are angry and hungry. Just some more deceit and wickedness their stupidity shall be healed.

tiwiex:


Is PMB depending on oyel money? He doesn't seem to act so. He has no other magic?

Babzilla:


1. you call it explanation I call it excuses. Lets call it explanations. I dont think people voted him to explain the situation.. we understand it very well thank you and its because we understand the situation clearly GEJ was booted out now we have another government coming in to give us more explanations. My question ito you, sir is whem do we graduate from explanations and theories to actual work?
2. The general feel I get from your write up is one of someone who accepts that nothing can be done about the current state of affairs because GEJ was in power XYZ no of years.
3. Dont get me wrong 1 year is to short to turn things around. Buhari should have known that and taken it easy with the bogus promises.
Overall if he fails ( which IMO he most likely will (but thats another gist we can engage in)) Im sure he will still continue calling out GEJ.

PS I see the gentleman I as the question ahsnt even replied me

TheGoodJoe:


Just as we are different, our perspective of life and matters are different.

Before this government came in, I wrote an article asking what was the biggest Challenge we faced as a country.

Even though the response was few, most said corruption.

As much as much as people feel this government is not doing much, they are actually achieving a lot. We are now seeing a padded budget that would have gone through the senate unopposed going through ridicule and screening. We saw people leave offices and the budget reviewed.

Just as we are seeing loans that would cause workers their jobs and people their hard earned money, we are seeing those people pursued.

We are seeing a battle against corruption. Even though some call it one sided, I feel any battle against corruption is a battle in the right direction.

As long as the corruption war continues, I will continue believing this government is winning. If corruption reduce, a lot of things we are complaining about will get better.

Things are this bad because of the corruption we came out from and if (which I believe will) it continues and intensifies, I see this government winning and going down as one of the best.

I do not see this government failing. I believe criticism keeps the government on their toes, so it is welcomed.

I just want judgment after the government finishes its term.

If we judged OBJ from his first year, he would have been a disaster. With time, he turned out an okay leader.
