I won't be surprised to be informed eventually that the amount of corruption, thievery and financial recklessness going on in this administration would make the thieving of the past look like mere child's play.

Too many inconsistencies.
Lack of unity at the centre.

Miz, give us a solid example of such corruption please?

Not until we have cogent evidence, it will be wrong to assume there is any corruption going on.

In fact, I can't believe any party can ever be as corrupt or engage in the kind of senseless looting and thievery PDP did. No way!

I thought the man said he read her comments. She never criticized his war on corruption nor implementing the TSA nor his infrastructural development, she only criticised his "command and control" economic policies which never worked in his time as a military head of state and it isn't working now.

Oby is one of those people that learn the theories but aren't wise enough on when and how to apply it. All economic policies have their uses, which is why there is not only a single economic policy in the world!

"Command and Control" as she called it is just what economist called "Fiscal Control Policies", which is the other side of the Free Market Economic policies. The 2 have their uses and benefits, it takes a wise one to know which to apply at different times.

Let me illustrate. In a group consisting of a chicken and 4 dogs, and one of them must be sacrificed. The Chicken might be encouraged by the West to insist on democratic principles of voting as the basis to choose who would be sacrificed as that is a world accepted principle of fairness.

However a wise chicken, would insists on using the other universally accepted mode of selection called "Drawing Straws". For that way, the chicken would have a chance at survival as the only outcome of voting would be the demise of the chicken. The detractors of the chicken might call Drawing of Straws archaic, but that is what would give the chicken a chance at survival.

My biggest regret is campaigning and voting for this government. Nothing is working and nobody should try to convince me that something is working.

APC is the biggest scam and this government is the biggest mistake to ever happen to Nigeria after the ineffectual buffoon.

The economy is dying. Everything is expensive. I still queue for hours to get fuel at #87. Indomie pack has gone up by about #300. One spag that used to go for 120 now goes for 170naira. I can't afford to eat goat meat as much as I'd loved to cos cutting cost. Ordinary Caprisonne for my kids no longer sell for #50. Now, some will say is it Buhari's fault and I ask them, is it my fault? Or GEJ's? Don't tell me nonsense.

I can't remember the last time I use my eyes to see light. I spend a large chunk of money to power my generator. It just keep getting worse.

We've been scammed.
Finally there is joy in Paradise over one 'Zombie' that has been delivered from the APC epidemic.
In the spirit of Sunday I pray for same to happen to other zombies.

The Presidency has responded angrily to the criticism of its economic policies by Bring Back Our Girls group founder, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili describing it as inaccurate.

Ezekwesili, who spoke at a roundtable discussion on the state of the nation on The Platform, organized by the Covenant Christian Center, in Abuja on Saturday, April 30, had described President Buhari’s policies as archaic and enabling corruption.

The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo who is heads the National Economic Council replied Ezekwesili’s criticisms through his Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande who said that there was no evidence to back her claim that the economic policies of the present administration is archaic.

He said, “I have read through Dr. Ezekwesili’s statement and I did not see any evidence to back her claim that the economy is archaic.

“What is archaic in the attempts by the present administration to diversify the economy and spur technological innovation?

“What is archaic in the government’s attempt to find long-lasting solutions to the problems facing the country? What is archaic in the Treasury Single Account which has increased the level of transparency in handling government’s revenues?

“What is archaic in bringing to account those who have stolen our commonwealth and get the resources back to government coffers? What is archaic in fast tracking industrialisation and dealing with infrastructure? All these are economic issues.

“You cannot come up with your own unclear elitist summary of the economy. Although she is entitled to her opinion because this is a democracy,” he said.

You regret campaigning for someone struggling to fix the rot occasioned by sixteen long years of savage misrule even though he's not spent up to 8% of the time it took to cause the damage, even under nearly 50% drop in government's revenue (caused by the decline in international oil price).

As usual the presidency is known for things iike this, after all when persons do not reliaze so quickly that they in a democratic settings where constructive criticism should be appreciated, it only helps the Govt and not destroy it. I believe with all aasurance that the presidency needs a careful lessons on the advantages of Democracy, then they will appreciate OBY EZEKWILI statement. Of course, the economic polices of Buhari lack direction, but enjoys applaudse from Its own party whom have not been able to solve a common issue in the country, Thanks heavens that Wole Soyinka had advised for a an economic summit, only God knows where Nigeria would have been...

If they had been in power by 2017, God forbid, they would have been stealing in trillions of dollars. Shame on them.

It is archaic to think you can grow an economy while electricity supply is on the decline. It is archaic to leave everything to chance and think the country would work. It is archaic to keep silent in the face of an increasing form of insecurity, while you are he chief security officer of the country.
Sir everything about this government preceedes archaic as a matter of fact.

Nigeria's major problem is that she has only a few true lovers.

Notwithstanding the present challenges, 1 year down the line this Government is one of the best Nigeria has had in recent times.

The major strength of this administration is its doggedness willing to stick to their chosen path despite the initial rough patches.

People compare eggs and carrots in a bid to discredit this government but then for the discerning and objective mind the mischief is clearly spotted. People say OBJ managed the economy better at $38 per barrel but did he inherit a wage bill similar to what the current administration inherited.

The inheritance left by GEJ:

1. less than 3000MW of Electricity.
2. less than $30BN in Foreign reserve.
3. Over 2 Trillion in various debts.
4. A weak military force.
Among other things.

This government will succeed to the joy of her supporter and to the shame of the enemies of the Nigerian state.

The APC template in Lagos is mostly viewed as not perfect but a fair deal. Most times at least 53% of the people are happy with the APC Led government and this 53% they will still get come 2019.

So safe to say Buhari might still be your president till 2023.
