Tinubu should thank his stars if after 6 months of the new government people still turn to him to get favour from Abuja....the people,the North, on whose behalf Buhari won the election will soon take over their 'thing'....Remember OBJ and Yaradua? rememeber Obj and Jonathan

No C in C will tolerate alternate power centre

Please Pals, accept the reality we but me, voted for. We needed change and forgot that change can come in two forms- from negative to positive or vice versa. In this case, we must accept change whether negative or positive.

As for me and my household, GEJ remains the best for now.

We have no share in the house of GMB.

To your tents O! Nigerians. Bear the lo
ss of GEJ till God brings in the anointed one who will salvage this country.

GEJ we miss you. Nigerians take heart!

It takes more than just sitting down folding your hands, i believe nigerians are ready to go through the process. The much anticipated change starts with every individuals. A change to the way you think as a nigerian to the way you treat yourself and neighbours. This way we will all enjoy the dividends of democracy.
performing the civic responsibility,obeying the rules and regulations,lecturers stop taking bribes and asking for sex, e.t.c . Its going to be a bit difficult due to the present economic situation around the world. Its a collective effort and I believe we will get there.
We all have to be ready, its not only the government job.

Oh! I get it, under GEJ, it was the presidency's responsibility but now it is a collective responsibility under buhari abi?

You do realize that the burden of success is on his shoulders as well as yours. If he implements a good strategy for cleaning up waste in Nigeria and you dump refuse on the streets, how is he to blame. If he asks that Nigerians be honest, and you offer and take bribe, how is he to blame? Making Nigeria is everyones responsibility.
Yes, I see you are right, making Nigeria positive is now everyone's responsibility ehhh?
Whose responsibility was it when change was in the air before now with huge crucifix on GEJ?
The yardstick of measurement is Nigeria-wise accepted, so he should be ready for the type of Nigerians and even worst GEJ experienced... Every Nigeria now is wiser and thanks to GEJ for the opportunity of a taste of real democracy and its dividence.

General Muhhamadu Buhari. We do not expect miracles from a professor much less an illiterate MALLAM like yourself. Just grow a spine in that arthritis back of yours and ignore TINUBU while you take on just one of your promises faithfully. Nigerians won't hate you if you fulfill 1 out of 10 promises rather than zero

you must be kidding!!

10% is pass mark to you? Then why do u think we wanted change? so that we can come back to 10% from about 50%?
ok i understand... you may have just woken up from bed.

75% or more. Nothing less.

please GMB deliver on your promises ELSE...

Despite the fact that i literally detest Barcanista for his last minute party switch, arrogance in the comments he made after PDP's defeat and all , I still cant help but admire his maturity and understanding , Your Otuoke Bingo did not achieve 10 % but we know he's emptied the treasury, shey na your shitte Buhari wan use do 100% , Anybody who wants to criticize someone else would have a record in hand , Your GEJ's record is a fail

I am not expecting 100% from Buhari , especially not in 4 years , but im damn well sure he'll achieve more than 80% , we've seen thier manifesto, we've seen their governors perform and i can tell you confidently that Buhari will make a difference

that said , Your GEJ is still CinC , why is Borno and northern states being bombed almost on daily basis ? He's lost the election , we've all known that the crack down on Boko Haram Militants using mercenaries from South Africa and other countries was a farce, Tell your Oga that he's still Oga until may 29 , Let him save the north as opposed to unleashing vengeance on them

Two things:

1. 4 years is never going to be enough to fix a lot of the issues wrong with this country. But the thing is, all what we can ask for is to see progress in all aspects. Then they won't need to spend billions on campaign because we will want them to continue with the progress.

2. Most of the people who will react negatively to these statements are the sore losers who followed GEJ to his political grave. If you want to be objective enough, you'd know that no miracle is expected of any single government no matter what they said before entering. We didn't chase GEJ out because he didn't perform miracles as his supporters always want to believe. We sent him packing because he wasn't progressing the country in any way that impacts the people's lives and he was both inept and corrupt at the same time. None of those who voted him out will regret it because if GMB fails, we'll just as well send him packing again. So stop the taunts about what they promised and what we are going to see. GEJ had 6 years, 4 years isn't too much to give someone else.


Who's we

Speak for yourself alone though I wouldn't totally disagree with your argument, i'll only add to it with my theory that most people who voted for him who were not of the hausa/fulani extraction did it because the then opposition made arguments to the belief that GEJ could not perform miracles because he was inept and his administration was corrupt. Now that GMB's incoming government will be allegedly astute and incorrupt, it is logical for Nigerians to expect him to deliver those miracles that GEJ could not deliver because of his shortcomings

Are you serious? By your statement you are encouraging law breaking in order to raise revenue. And one id.io.t liked that post. Anyway, the point of my post is for everyone to have their hand on deck to effect change in Nigeria. A policeman is an individual and part of a whole. He needs to refuse giving and taking bribes. If everyone does that, then we might start seeing change. Even if you make Jesus the president of Nigeria, he will not achieve squat if the people he puts in different positions are corrupt. That is my point.
No one encourages people to break laws by nature, man is rebellious,any law is as good as as useless if not enforced.dont bring JESUS into this because many countries are doing it and they are getting results,if you are caught traficking drugs in china,ur purnishment is death,why do people still do it?,and is china not waiting for people to co-operate?.you are the one that isnt making sense here.

I know both states...Amaechi might have built more fanciful schools but when it comes to all round development he is a learner comapred to Akpabio....Akwa Ibom state developmemt under Akpabio goes beyond planting flowers or partitioning existing roads in the name of dual carriage ways...His work is pervasive.

No one said crime doesn't exist in every country, but your arguement was that law breaking should be seen as a source of revenue. You are delibrately side stepping the issue which is, everyone is responsible for the change that Nigerians so desperately needs.

Re: Don't Expect Miracles When I Assume Office, Buhari Tells Nigerians by Nobody: 4:15pm On Apr 06, 2015
The long awaited change has finally arrived.

The change is right here with us.

Look somebody should whisper to this man that he promised us "miracle" during his campaign because 80% of APC campaign promises can only be achieve through miracle.

So to perform them, he has to perform miracle as promised.

Or else what go and ask GEJ what happened to him in 2015 presidential election if he will be able to tell you because what will happen to you will be more.

Very soon he clear us for eyes "fiam" like say na magic because no body go fit perform magic to change this country with the like of OBJ, Tunubu, Bode George, FFK, Atiku, Ameachi, lots of PDP n APC cabal to numerous to mention here still in the politic.

Buhari n GEJ are both good men with good intention but the same way GEJ didn't get to presidency but through PDP so also is Buhari Through APC, now tell me with the kind of people in the parties what can the president really do without them. Until we begin to implement our anti-corruption laws squarely, EFCC becomes autonomy, police change their mentality, citizenry change their attitude on so on n on......

Nigeria will continue to remain this way.
