Abeg where can I buy a good Casio wristwatch?

People are always laughing very hard whenever they are with Buhari. There is something God is doing with the man. Enemies can use the Lagos Lagoon or the River Niger when Buhari completes the 2nd Niger Bridge that Igbos have been crying for over decades.

If the President of Nigeria cannot meet with aggrieved citizens because they are opf differing tribes or religious beleifs...what is he president for?

I dont like Bubu, but meetings like this is why he wins elections...it shows how completely someone who in the year 2000 went to Oyo state to 'defend the Fulani' has become something of a national leader.

If you guys want Bubu out, ie if the oppositon wants Bubu out, you have to stop calling people jihadis and start reaching out. Even if Biafra or whatever is what you want , you have to do the same.

Because every day, on Nairaland, I watch the oppositon shoot itself in the foot via bitterness and strife.

When it is without knowledge, forget it.

"To President Muhammadu Buhari’s ardent followers, certain spectacles are heartwarming emblems of his simplicity, but, they are in fact, bad PR. The image of the President of Nigeria watching a 32-inch TV, for instance, should be nobody’s idea of austereness neither should it deserve the fuss it attracted. The same can be said of his farm pictures which have surfaced for the second time in two years. In 2015, the pictures of Buhari visiting his farm shortly after becoming President should have been an alarm. There was little about that farm that spelled technological innovation, entrepreneurial creativity, or any perspicacity that suggested he had what it would take to stimulate national development. When the pictures resurfaced in 2017, very little had changed. The man still keeps cows the same way our grandparents kept domestic animfarming

Even more unsettling is the fact that we live in a globally connected world where other world leaders intuit our leaders and our collective mental development from the way we narrate ourselves. Buhari shared the picture before leaving for the One Planet Summit in France. He would have preempted his own arrival in Europe with a confirmation that the largest conglomeration of Black people in the world is stuck in a time warp. Where does one even start? In 2017, Buhari hopes the picture of himself growing fruits and vegetables, and practising animal husbandry at a level that barely transcends subsistence farming, has any discernible potential to solve the nation’s food crisis? The man has lived through similar specious programmes like “Green Revolution,” “Operation Feed the Nation,” and “National School Agriculture Programme,” yet his grand vision for Nigeria is still non-industrialised agriculture? Even the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, reduced official work days from five to three so that people could take up farming. If, with all those efforts, Nigerians are still unable to feed themselves, it could only mean that previous solutions were cosmetic and the fundamentals of farming problems in Nigeria still need addressing.

What is the point of Buhari’s advocating more people to take up farming when we have problems of land tenure system, desertification, storage facilities, manufacturing, electricity, poor road access to urban markets where the produce would find a market, and perennial food wastage? The issue of food wastage in Nigeria was raised by the Agriculture Minister, Audu Ogbeh, last year when he observed that 30-40 per cent of our farm produce end up wasted. Our problems are not food production in itself; it is that failure to create structures that can distribute what we have sufficiently. Nigeria does not need to be an agrarian economy where we will hang a hoe on our shoulders, and “go back to land” to survive. What we need is knowledge and the political will to execute smart ideas. It is thanks to such cultivated knowledge that a state like California, partly situated in the desert, can be the food basket of the USA. The state earns an average annual income of $50bn on farming alone, and that is about twice the entire budget of Nigeria with all her oil revenue. Yet, less than three per cent of their citizens are involved in farming. How do they do it? Technology, innovation, and creativity. When the yams Nigeria sent to Europe sometime this year with so much fanfare were returned as not up to par, our cultural deficiencies were immediately obvious. What the world wants to buy is between our ears, not in the ground.

Developed economies of the world have so industrialised that machines have replaced the humans who used to work on slave plantations. People who travel through Libya to Europe arrive there (for those who do anyway) to find that the jobs available for Black labourers are mostly sex-based. With smaller land mass and population than Nigeria, countries like The Netherlands, Italy, and Germany make far more money on food exports than Nigeria makes on oil. They apply creative solutions for maximum productivity. Today, developed countries have a lot of time for leisure and can concentrate their intellect on the less rudimentary issues such as development in areas of health, environment, climate change, human rights, and the elevation of the human soul through cultural productions. That is the standard Nigerian leaders should be nudging people towards, not further prod the land to yield food when we have not demonstrated enough sagacity to handle what we already get.

There are problems with our leaders brandishing an unreconstructed mind, living 19th-century realities in the 21st century. Their anachronism, and the archaic ideas they deploy explain why our problems seem extremely complicated. From building roads that last to planning budgets that are not fraught with statistical failures, we recycle pretty much the same issues annually. Buhari’s government has learned to hide behind jaded excuses such as “corruption is fighting back” when what fights back so viciously is the failure to evolve, to think outside the debilitating circumstances that created the problems we are trying to solve. We are overwhelmed by the weight of our troubles, and very little is changing.

The recurring problem of corruption in Nigeria underscores how the inveterate approach we have used to tackle these issues contributes to their resilience. This year, we have been confronted with several high-profile cases of corruption that are psychologically draining. Nigerians that have been so frequently outraged at some point can barely summon enough anger over emerging cases of corruption. It is almost safe to conclude that people no longer care about these issues anymore. People are drained, and it is almost impossible to keep up with them as they are being churned out. The Mainagate started as a drama but right before our eyes, it metamorphosed into a tragedy, a tragicomedy, and then a farce. The probe that resulted in the House of Representatives was painful to follow; the bureaucracy by which our lives are being governed is not only outdated, they are so faulty they admit the same problems year in and year out. The systems are loose, decidedly uncoordinated, and internally programmed to fail. One reads through the drama that happened at the National Assembly during the probe and wonders if the ineptitude displayed by the main actors who run the country at the top echelons is not a deliberate attempt to undermine Nigeria.

While that is still sizzling, then came the weighty accusations exchanged by the Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, and the Securities and Exchange Commission DG, Mounir Gwarzo. There are too many details in the allegations both parties are bartering that fail to add up. At some point, one wonders if we are ever going to overcome our problems or we are fated to be this way. Are these people governing or they are toying with the control buttons of governance? One becomes considerably soberer when one realises that these same issues of corruption and what not were what we fruitlessly tackled under the PDP for 16 years.

Amidst all these, we have a President preaching subsistence farming thus confirming that his approach to complex issues is oversimplified solutions that have no viability in present times. In case the Presidency forgets, the rest of the world follows what happens in our country and assesses our capacity to resolve our issues through our leaders and the way they reason. The images of our President canvassing subsistence agriculture are, in that wise, a poor commentary on our collective intelligence and our capability to solve problems. I understand Buhari has to appeal to his followers who get easily titillated by his supposed earthiness but they should be mindful that we also live in an interconnected world where local idiocies have global implications. Our country builds universities like pure water factories and yet we act naïve; practically asking the world infantilise us.

I hope it made sense to you.

Alright

personally, i applaud the maturity as shown[ warm handshakes and smiles, heaven is not falling!] here by these Christians leaders who are, indeed, in the heat of the attack.
Those crying more than the bereaved shall be judged by God; for God, is the God who weighs your motives. Like pmb said, no past administration that had not contented with this highly inflammable region .Atlas! those who will benefit from the situation or so they think, are wont to continually cry fowl , mayhem, and chaos. With the advent of social media, any one can wake up and say one thousands were killed today and beg all to share the fake news, thus spreading such misleading and mischievous news by the day.
The likes of so called pastors omokri who had never prayed here, but to spew curses and FFK who had never utter a word of blessings , but dirty languages are to be pitied rather than condoned. They are only fighting for tier bellies and not for the good of all Nigerians. Itis hightime we read between the lines.

OZAOEKPE:
No wonder catholics left that group, they went there to shine teeth with a blood sucking cow

Please note that this is CHRISTIAN Association of Nigeria and not CATHOLIC Association of Nigeria. The latter is pseudonym of the former

OZAOEKPE:

Enough of these silly insults, let us learn constructively from constituted authorities.

OZAOEKPE:

Exactly.
They are there for a serious mission and yet the gravity of the situation is lost on them.
Southern and christian leaders are not up to the task.

I AM VERY SURE THEY WILL COLLECT MONEY FROM BUBU AS JONATHAN DID IN 2015 WHEN HE GAVE CAN 16BILLION NAIRA TO CAMPAIGN FOR HIM... I PITY XTIANS PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY

Why are all these people laughing. Your brethren are been killed daily and yet you are dining with the devil �.

Some people have sold their souls

theoldpretender:



If the President of Nigeria cannot meet with aggrieved citizens because they are opf differing tribes or religious beleifs...what is he president for?

Tell them. They should do their own "jihad" by reaching out. Nothong is gained by whistling in the dark.

I can now see why this can of worms are crying and wailing just to get presidential attention. Hope these incessant wailing people would halt crying all around Buhari and seek God face to subdue the current challenges encountering this country.

God put Buhari there and they are not happy with that They cannot face His direction . My opinion.

Coming from some who cant even organise a meeting with his local govt chairman

brodalikeme:
Why are these ones laughing after meeting the herdmen accomplice? What reassuring statement did Buhari make, what action or derective did he give?

This fail and confused government can't be reinforce again
Mr buhari check history if you can no government come back to power when Catholic church reject them.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAVE COME OPEN AND REJECT YOU STOP BUYING PEOPLE THERE CAN NOT SAVE YOU

FAILURE IS FAILURE
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

BABA GO SLOW. BABA FAILURE GO AND REST

Please why the laughter?
An important issue that has to do with life was discussed, and these people were shining teeth.
Nonsense

phemmyutd:
These are the people that knows and feels the pain of the attack, they are here having first hand discussion with the C in C.

Where are the far away mischievous CAN who are crying more than the bereaved.

I'm not sure they look like people who are feeling any pain of the massacre of their people. Either this is an arrangee publicity stunt to polish Buhari's image or they are actually telling him to continue with the killings.

This definitely is not the image of people who are aggrieved

Almaiga:
God bless Buhari, hope he will overhaul the security Architecture of his Government.

what has him done

Let the killings stop. The president have been mum over this. His inaction is killing the more.

Yield to nothing meeting

GOD BLESS NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS!

PMB IS INDEED A BLESSING TO NIGERIA AND NIGERIANS.



THEY CAN ONLY WAIL IN HIS ABSENCE. I SEE HYPOCRISY OF HIGHEST ORDER IN NIGERIA.

GOD BLESS PMB

KKKWHITE:
what has him done

Tell me what you and your entire family have achieved in your community. Then, I will tell you what Buhari has achieved as a President.

why are they smiling now

They went to lament the killings of Christians in the North and the came put laughing out loud.
Obviously, they must have lied to themselves. Therefore there is no end in site to the killings.
