Each time I make any comment, I just feel God is watching me and fear will not let me say things I know are not true. It's a fact that it's so tempting to lie and deceive but is it worth it? Lies and rumors thrive more. But the real children of God will resist it.

@ops, let us exercise a little patience with the new government and see how things unfold. But to be sincere, things are really bad right now and if any one think like this, I won't blame the person.

GOD bless Nigeria.
I believe you are only prolonging the obvious which is the disintegration of this country. People being killed off like ants everyday in a their supposed country. I can't die for Nigeria because it's not worth it and anyone still willing to go down for Nigeria, all I can say is ALL THE BEST.

"Change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better" - Samuel Johnson

Fani Kayode has reclaimed this moniker and has continued his PDP campaign director role online.

Nigeria is hell to live in after 16 years of PDP rule, not after 30+ days of change.
Oga what are the signs you've seen that makes you think things will be better than before? Or is belief just based on blind faith?

Nigeria is in a state of nature. The sooner you learn survival instincts in this jungle the better.

The way Jagaban and APC packaged PMB be like a 419 moi moi I once brought in school well packaged that after navigating your way through different layers of wraps you get disappointed.

She made her few quick bucks until the truth spread and she closed shop.

After all the paparazzi and the dust have settled we all now know that PMB is a toothless Old bulldog and needs to be impeached fast before Boko takes over CBN and Aso Rock.

Don't worry everything will change. The only question is growing up or decaying. Answering this question is similar to watching a fight between nuclear fusion and gravity in free space, we all know one will eventually lose the fight, but not sure which. Hey, it surely is a captivating episode filled with many twist and turns so I will advise we enjoy the ride.
Everybody endured the 16 good years of PDP misrule. We never called for disintegration or anything similar to that. This boko haram menace started during pdp reign, and it also escalated during their administration because they were busy looting the nation's treasury. There was no proactive measurement taken by pdp to stop the boko haram until some few days to election. Now APC inherited all the bad things from pdp and all you hypocrites know how to do is to blame APC for pdp 16 good years of mismanagement, corruption, impunity etc.

Anyway buhari is gonna tackle this boko menace very soon, the man is just being careful. This am very sure of because I believe in him.

Good luck is responsible for this. He didn't take BH seriously. He allowed them to blossom and got deeply rooted in the country. How do we expect PMB to just decimate them in just a month? When GEJ led army was supposed to annihilate the insurgents, they were showing us footage of how BH members were running away. They got integrated into the society and are now blowing everyone up.

GEJ is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria but God willing, we shall prevail over the enemies. To hell with Biafra, cant wait to see their backs.
Hindsight is always a wonderful thing. Even if goodluck was more aggressive towards boko haram it still wouldn't have solved the issue.
There is a fundamental problem yet to be addressed in Nigeria. There will always be many people groups like boko haram in Nigeria until some issues are addressed. The inability to acknowledge these issues has to be my biggest fear going forward.

I don't know about others, but I know I didn't vote for APC, my vote was for buhari/osinbajo if you grab what i mean. The hideous lies attributed to him doesn't hold any water in the minds of people that really know who the man buhari is.

I have seen purposeful leadership that does not seek to play to the gallery to gain immediate approval from Nigerians. President Buhari inherited a failed system, but his ongoing reforms regardless of how slow they might seem, are definitely a step in the right direction.

It will be disastrous if Baba disappoints us, because then I would know there is truly no hope for this country. Having said that Sir, I am 100% confident that things will be better than before based on the ongoing reforms.

I am very sure the only reason Buhari was so determined to become president was to satisfy his bruised ego having being denied several times before. Now that he's there, he genuinely has no clue what to do.

It is about time every right thinking Nigeria begin to think of an alternative country to live in. Apart from the civil war, the last 6 years have been an unending war in Nigeria. How can any sane person think of building a future in a country where your life can be cut short at any moment? How can you call a country home where you cannot even succeed financially and walk the streets freely, or even have your family walk freely. A good example is my dear friend Chimamanda the whole world celebrates, yet her country rewarded her by kidnapping her father. Or is it Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who was rewarded by kidnapping her 82 year old fragile mom. Or is it the professor that was rewarded by being brutally murdered in the comfort of his home?

Why should any sane person keep thinking of living in Nigeria, when they campainged for CHANGE, when all the get is mass killings every other day? We do not blame PMB for the menace taking place in Nigeria, why should we even blame him? the travails of this country has really eaten deep. Why should anyone be proud of Nigeria, when Femi Fani-Kayode or is it Olukayode announed to the whole world that he will now be going abroad for his long over due medical checkup. Do we even have hospitals that can take care of anything anymore? Why should anyone keep dreaming of an illusionary Nigerian dream, when if the President gets a heart attack he will die within hours, for their is no hospital in the whole country with a standard ICU and with capabilities for cardiac stenting or catheterization.

A country where dead people lie on the street of Lagos, with no scintilla of help or emergency services by state! A country where people empty their account just go give birth "abroad" and make their children escape the horrors and de nove disadvantage of being a full Nigerian citizen. A country where mass killings have been made the norm with no state official commenting on over 500 innocent souls that have been killed in the past one month.
A country despite the massive potentials and wealth still wallows in disease, corruption, kidnapping, poverty and everything bad.

Truth be told, Nigeria has become a sinking ship, and needs to drown or fall off the cliff and then rebuilt again. For our youths to reach their full potential it is imperative for them to have their own revolution! Or at least start thinking of the nearest next African country to call home. Nigeria is a cooking hallogen gas in a hot air ballon that is about to pop and kill. It is coming, it must come, it is here!

In summary, I hate Jonthan, I will give PMB a chance to save this sinking ship. Nevertheless, I won't have campainged for CHANGE but for a massive revolution.

What you said here are partially true from the very negative angle you are looking at it. If you care to ponder too, there are a lot of ways Nigeria is doing well as a country. Are these the reasons why you are regretting for campaigning for change? That means you didn't actually believe in the change if you are already regretting 5weeks to the life of this administration.

1. The reforms in the NNPC

2. The reforms in the DSS

3. The reforms in the Defence HQ

4. The awoken EFCC

These are off the top of my head, many more reforms are on the way, and will be sped up once the immediate distractions of BH and the National Assembly are taken care of. From the pattern of PMB's actions, he is clearly being strategic and calculative to avoid errors.

It will be well.

My friend. Terrorism around the world is never fought in 6 weeks. It is very long fight. Don't expect it to be won in a year. The fact is PMB met a nearly collapsed nation. What you have heard 6 weeks before the general election is just a publicity stunt by GEJ to make us feel that he is doing so much in the fight against BH.

It is obvious that those military generals are collecting security allocations without doing anything. They are the ones supporting BH and now they are not getting any funds, they are all out. The army has not been withdrawn, but why are they not fighting?

It is now that they real fight of BH has began.
