It seems President Muhammadu Buhari doesn’t know that elections are over and it is time to start actualizing his promises. The first few days of a new President in office matter a great deal. Acting authoritatively within 24 hours of being sworn will send the right signal to all that he is ready to implement change. Buhari has already failed in this regard. He is supposed to hit the ground running considering the mirage of problems facing this nation. The new President simply hit the ground and sat down there. The cabal controlling Nigeria has already ringed him. He could not appoint a Secretary to the Federal Government, seven days after his inauguration. He could not even appoint a Chief of Staff. He is struggling with his list of ministers. So many interest groups within his ruling All Progressives Congress are holding him by the jugular. Ogbonnaya Onu and Rotimi Amaechi are battling for the position of SGF. Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48 hours of emerging victorious.


Our dear Buhari could not even appoint a spokesman. He ended up appointing spokesmen. I have never heard of this in any sane society. He has Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu appointed as spokesmen just to satisfy diverse interest groups. Ever heard of leaders like Barack Obama or David Cameron operating with spokesmen? This is an agenda for chaos in the media management area.

I can’t understand why Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Barde and Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah are still in office. If we are talking about change and wiping out Boko Haram, the men in charge of the war’s Command and Control ought not to be in office by this time. Buhari obviously has no blueprint on how to handle Boko Haram. These bastards have killed over 300 people in the last seven days. The President has directed that the defence headquarters be moved to Maiduguri. There is clearly no sense in this. Buhari simply wants to jeopadise the Command and Control Centre. The United States did not move the Pentagon to the Gulf region during the Gulf war. Yet, they decapitated Iraqi forces. United Kingdom did not move its defence headquarters to the Falkland during the war with Argentina over the Falkland. Buhari’s directive is an archaic military strategy. This is obviously unnecessary in modern warfare. Obviously, our dear President has no blueprint for tackling the Boko Haram problem. All he did during the election was to excoriate Goodluck Jonathan’s security failure. He had no plans of his own.

The next thing the President did was to dash to Niger and Chad to talk to their leaders about curtailing Boko Haram. Yes, this would help in shortening trans-border terrorism. But how will this stop ongoing suicide bombings inside Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states by the blood-thirsty Boko Haram? The suicide bombers are obviously not crossing into the country from the neighbouring countries. They are within the country, manufacturing and using Improvised Explosive Devices. They are using petrol and gas cylinders, all obtained within the country, for suicide bombings. Intelligence gathering and technology are key to detecting and curtailing the deadly activities of these suicide bombers. We need to put our internal security in order before running to Chad and Niger republics.

I am also surprised that heads of failed government departments and agencies that have done collateral damages to this country are still in office eight days after Buhari’s inauguration. How can the leadership of the Customs and Excise still be in office by this time? Why should the leadership of the NNPC and the NERC still be in office? The leadership of the FIRS is still in office, yet we are talking about change. Change in this direction should come within 24 hours. We are still waiting for our dear President to act.
[b]Buhari response to the power crisis in his inauguration speech was also appalling. How can the President say that, “careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians.” So, the President did not do a thorough study of the power crisis and the way forward before campaigning to take over from Jonathan? So, the President has no blueprint on how to tackle the power crisis? So, Buhari is just about assembling a team to decide on what to do? That should have been in his bag already. It is part of what is called hitting the ground running in governance. I hope we have not entered a one chance bus? I guess that was why Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo sent him his own blueprint on the power crisis. My humble suggestion is for Buhari to quickly go after Atiku Abubakar and collect his comprehensive blueprint on how to tackle crisis in virtually all the sectors of our economy. A better-prepared Atiku commissioned a very reliable team to do this during his campaign for Presidency. But the APC painfully denied him their Presidential ticket. It is a pity that a well-prepared Atiku may never become the President of this country because we always celebrate mediocrity. [/b]

Buhari has also left many bemused by his refusal to make public his asset declaration. Garba Shehu said, “President Muhammadu Buhari has declared his assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If anyone is interested in knowing details of his asset worth, such a person can avail himself or herself of the use of Freedom of Information Act to seek the information from the bureau.” What an insult. One of Buhari’s key campaign promises was public declaration of assets and liabilities. How can he now do this to Nigerians? Late President Umaru Yar’Adua made public his asset declaration after submitting to the Code of Conduct Bureau. Clearly, Buhari has something to hide. The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Kayode Ajulo was right when he accused the President of failing to keep  the covenant he had with Nigerians to publish his assets publicly. Ajulo said: “The promise on the declaration of assets made to Nigerians was to woo voters. Now, the voters have fulfilled their part of the agreement. It is left for Buhari to fulfill the other part, failure of which is a clear violation of the social contract he had with millions of Nigerians.”

Now, the President has approval for 15 Special Advisers. What does he want to do with all these men? These Special Advisers will also have a retinue of special assistants. They will also need to maintain offices and vehicles. So, where is the belt tightening which our President promised in this scenario? On removal of fuel subsidy, Buhari is still shivering, eight days after inauguration. May Allah help Nigeria.

People like this just don't get it that the Buhari government hasn't been installed to run another stereotype government that comes in to patch things up here and there but most things left untouched, undone or in a worse state like the PDP has done for the past 16 years. A horrific cycle of vision-less leadership. No, the Buhari government has been installed by we patriotic Nigerians for a complete overhaul of the old ineffective system of governance and rebuilding of a new better functioning system. We don't want a quick fix that gives us a false perception of progress in the short run but gets us nowhere in the long run. Rather we want a permanent solution that will stand the test of time and usher Nigeria to a better future. We are tired of the typical failed PDP schemes and vision 2020 projects that are nothing but abject myths that never leaves anything meaningful done.

This is not another PDP-to-PDP government transition, but a new government party entirely. So realistically, it could take about six months for Buhari's government to get their feet on the ground; but the good news is once the feet is down eventually and Buhari's government will surely run and once it starts running, I expect wonderful things will happen in Nigeria and to Nigeria and Nigerians. The Buhari government just has no other choice but to perform.

I am not blaming Nigerians for voting pmb. I am angry that we ended up with him against jona, when we have more capable people to challenge jona. It's like having two knives. One has handle but isn't sharp, while the one that's sharp doesn't have a handle.

While I have never been a pdp or jona man, I have always believed that the best man among us should get the job. If jona was a mistake, do we really need to make another mistake in Buhari?

Anyway, like I said earlier, he's there right now and all we need to do is to support him. There's no use crying over spilt milk. I wish pmb all the luck he needs. He's not perfect and his supporters should stop acting like he's the messiah. That's putting an undue pressure on pmb. He's not our saviour. He's only a man.

Sincerely, I just get bothered when I think about the way some people think. Atm, what president Buhari is doing is of utmost important to Nigeria as a country than appointing ministers. More than any other thing the war against insurgency should be the first on the list. It's still too early for the criticism. God bless Nigeria.

I State Atiku was a better option, I thought I was the only one who noticed that Buhari basically stated in his inauguration speech that he had no power plan and that studies were underway. He won since March 28, 2 full months to plan his government at least.
Even GEJ and the notoriously slow Yar’Adua at least had given some sense of the direction they were taking by now.

It is barely Seven days since coming to office,
but the President already scored five major
points that translate to dividends of
democracy. That is an average of a point a day:
1. He cut down recurrent expenditure by
reducing the number of Special Advisers from
136 that
Jonathan had, to just 15 for him. Yet, the critics alleged that he has already failed.
2. Marching order to Generals to
move out of their Abuja air conditioned offices
and relocate to Battlefield. Yet, the hypocrites said he is a failure.
3. Undertaking trilateral meeting with Niger and
Chad leaders on how to stamp out Boko Haram
once and for all. Again, he is already a failure.
4. Refused to interfere with National Assembly
leadership selections. Could any sane Nigerian bliv such would ever happen?
5. "I belong to nobody" - No
godfather or ethnic group, including his, that can
dictate or influence him. He is a joker, is all they could say.
For sixteen years of doom, the hypocrites expect a magic wand instantly to restore in six days what their clueless hero couldn't in six years. Such a childish mode of thinking.
I pray for God to protect and continue to guide
him. Amen!

It seems President Muhammadu Buhari doesn’t know that elections are over and it is time to start actualizing his promises. The first few days of a new President in office matter a great deal.

Rather, it seems the writer does not understand what good governance is all about. President Buhari has already started delivering on his promises. His promise included making Security topmost in his agenda, especially the issue of Boko Haram. He promised to see what the military has been doing, to work with neighbouring countries, and to deal with boko haram. This he has started. he has already met with the service chiefs and has been to see/discuss with two of the three neighbouring countries involved.

Acting authoritatively within 24 hours of being sworn will send the right signal to all that he is ready to implement change. Buhari has already failed in this regard. He is supposed to hit the ground running considering the mirage of problems facing this nation. The new President simply hit the ground and sat down there.

Either this writer is ignorant of the inauguration speech of President Buhari or is just been mischievous. Right from the speech, the President has sent in signals that this is not business as usual, even moving the Command Centre of the military closer to where the challenges are much.

The cabal controlling Nigeria has already ringed him. He could not appoint a Secretary to the Federal Government, seven days after his inauguration. He could not even appoint a Chief of Staff. He is struggling with his list of ministers. So many interest groups within his ruling All Progressives Congress are holding him by the jugular. Ogbonnaya Onu and Rotimi Amaechi are battling for the position of SGF. Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48 hours of emerging victorious.

What has a cabal got to do with appointments? The previous administration had numerous appointments and continued appointing and sacking even two days before hand-over. Appointments and cabal has no ring in common. Having a Secretary or a Chief of Staff is not an emergency, neither is it compulsory. Those are just administrative helps, there is no struggle there. The Senate and House of Reps are just in yesterday, Friday. There is no rush in the regards of appointing ministers, especially when the Transition committee thing did not go on smoothly. A different party and persons handing over is different from David Cameron's case where, one he is simply re-elected to continue, and two, he does not have the load of problems that Nigeria has. Former President Jonathan was seen, reported and pictured just giving President Buhari his report a day before hand over. One has to know what is truly on ground before making key decisions, Nigeria is not your regular one man business where things can be done anyhow.


Our dear Buhari could not even appoint a spokesman. He ended up appointing spokesmen. I have never heard of this in any sane society. He has Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu appointed as spokesmen just to satisfy diverse interest groups. Ever heard of leaders like Barack Obama or David Cameron operating with spokesmen? This is an agenda for chaos in the media management area.

Obama has at least a communications director(Jen Psaki) and a press secretary(Jay Carney). Cameron also has at least a Downing street spokesperson and an official spokesman. Goodluck Jonathan had Okupe and Abati among others. Are those societies sane or is the writer simply ignorant of well known facts?

I can’t understand why Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Barde and Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah are still in office. If we are talking about change and wiping out Boko Haram, the men in charge of the war’s Command and Control ought not to be in office by this time. Buhari obviously has no blueprint on how to handle Boko Haram. These bastards have killed over 300 people in the last seven days.

This is obviously unnecessary in modern warfare. Obviously, our dear President has no blueprint for tackling the Boko Haram problem. All he did during the election was to excoriate Goodluck Jonathan’s security failure. He had no plans of his own.

It is not compulsory to sack everybody appointed by previous administrations or stop every project or work started by previous administrations. i personally do not know Buhari's plans, but his philosophy is this and right. Nigeria has good and intelligent people and competent hands. We have the training, the intelligence etc. All we need is change of leadership and structure. The same failures like NOI and co do very well abroad under good leadership and well structured governments. Even my everyday average neighbour who can barely get admission for his desired course/school, or get a 2.1 or Upper or a good job in Nigeria. Give him a chance to go abroad and you start hearing testimonies of how he is study aeronautical engineering, and leading in Neurosurgery department, and collecting awards in Yale. Even my illiterate and dirty kinsmen, suddenly behave and comport themselves when they go abroad. The point is, it is not Badeh, Minimah and co have nothing upstairs. They are trained and good soldiers, probably our best on paper talking about ranks, awards, trainings etc. But they have had a very bad leader/coach. The new head may sack them and promote others if he so chooses or if the law says so, or he may retain them. Surely, they would need to properly hand over and report all they have been doing for the past 5 or so years, there is no haste in sacking them or chasing them, especially when you will still be paying their big bellies very well. Also, personally i will keep them to clean up the mess they have contributed in widening.
About military strategies, military strategy is not one way or written in stone. There are different strategies to winning. It is not compulsory we copy America or whoever. Since the Command Center has been in Abuja, has that aided the victory? Also, suicide bombing is not something one just controls like " Jesus stilling the storm". That is what is called miracle. The actions of boko haram in the past days have been suicide bombing. This is different from taking over a town or local government, or abducting scores of people without any restraint.


The next thing the President did was to dash to Niger and Chad to talk to their leaders about curtailing Boko Haram. Yes, this would help in shortening trans-border terrorism. But how will this stop ongoing suicide bombings inside Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states by the blood-thirsty Boko Haram? The suicide bombers are obviously not crossing into the country from the neighbouring countries. They are within the country, manufacturing and using Improvised Explosive Devices. They are using petrol and gas cylinders, all obtained within the country, for suicide bombings. Intelligence gathering and technology are key to detecting and curtailing the deadly activities of these suicide bombers. We need to put our internal security in order before running to Chad and Niger republics.

Wrong suggestion by the writer. When you have an enemy, or even in a room, a rat, a cockroach, lizard, or in a field, you suddenly want to catch a prey. It is BASIC that you block all exits, surround the prey or enemy, and box them in. This is the very clear thing been done.

I am also surprised that heads of failed government departments and agencies that have done collateral damages to this country are still in office eight days after Buhari’s inauguration. How can the leadership of the Customs and Excise still be in office by this time? Why should the leadership of the NNPC and the NERC still be in office? The leadership of the FIRS is still in office, yet we are talking about change. Change in this direction should come within 24 hours. We are still waiting for our dear President to act.

i've talked on this already. Operation sack them all is not necessarily going to work. Most of these people know their jobs and can do them in the right environment and under the right leadership. Also, even if they will go, it is still from the same failed state Nigeria that replacements will be picked, not from outside. Plus, handover was not properly done. When the APC were talking about it, people were criticizing them. There has to be proper hand over and knowing the real state of things before taking decisive actions. Not just clamoring for sack everybody pro-Jonathan and employ every APC lover. Serious governance is not done that way.

[b]Buhari response to the power crisis in his inauguration speech was also appalling. How can the President say that, “careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians.” So, the President did not do a thorough study of the power crisis and the way forward before campaigning to take over from Jonathan?

I guess that was why Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo sent him his own blueprint on the power crisis. My humble suggestion is for Buhari to quickly go after Atiku Abubakar and collect his comprehensive blueprint on how to tackle crisis in virtually all the sectors of our economy. A better-prepared Atiku commissioned a very reliable team to do this during his campaign for Presidency. But the APC painfully denied him their Presidential ticket. It is a pity that a well-prepared Atiku may never become the President of this country because we always celebrate mediocrity. [/b]

This is a ploy to divide the APC by bringing up Atiku. Just like the bible where Absalom was propped up till he wanted to take the throne from David. Billions of dollars have been spent on power without much result. The economy is ailing. It is only right for the government to know How Much we have and what can be done with what we have. He should not make careless promises or blueprints that there will be no money to pursue it.


Buhari has also left many bemused by his refusal to make public his asset declaration.

One of Buhari’s key campaign promises was public declaration of assets and liabilities. How can he now do this to Nigerians? Late President Umaru Yar’Adua made public his asset declaration after submitting to the Code of Conduct Bureau. Clearly, Buhari has something to hide. The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Kayode Ajulo was right when he accused the President of failing to keep  the covenant he had with Nigerians to publish his assets publicly. Ajulo said: “The promise on the declaration of assets made to Nigerians was to woo voters. Now, the voters have fulfilled their part of the agreement. It is left for Buhari to fulfill the other part, failure of which is a clear violation of the social contract he had with millions of Nigerians.”

This will be done. Anybody deserves time, at least 100days. President Jonathan had 5years to prove himself. Buhari should be given at least 100 days before making silly conclusions. BTW, assets declaration is just a minute part on the war against corruption. The main part is to get the judicial system working efficiently and effectively. What is the value of Yaradua's declaration today? Whether he stole or not, most Nigerians do not know and DO NOT CARE. In fact, i am sure that when Buhari and Osinbajo's assets are finally public, the puerile arguments will grow in number as to what they both already have. If you may be told before hand, Osinbajo is a very rich man, and Buhari has more than 150 cows and one bungalow compared to what his opposition has been making it a duty to misinform people with.

Now, the President has approval for 15 Special Advisers. What does he want to do with all these men? These Special Advisers will also have a retinue of special assistants. They will also need to maintain offices and vehicles. So, where is the belt tightening which our President promised in this scenario? On removal of fuel subsidy, Buhari is still shivering, eight days after inauguration. May Allah help Nigeria.

Compared to what the previous President had, 15 special advisers is smaller and a good trim. i will suggest some patience, at least 100 days. Blind opposition and skepticism will not help the nation or anyone. Like the saying goes, Rome was not built in a day, life is one step at a time.

I'm still watching!

Personally, and considering the enormous challenges we have as a nation, I never really expected that much from PMB, even despite the huge propaganda that brought him victory.

However, I won't still deny the fact he's been a bit slow in the past week.

To be in the opposition and to be in power aren't the same thing . It's always easier said than done. It's the time for reality. And it's obvious governance isn't as cheap as mere talk.

I will continue to give him some slacks.
Well said,my thoughts exactly

For those that think it takes only PMB to fix Nigeria....

For those who have Governors, SSS, state Police and still have Boko Haram threats.....


For those who run their mouths at Government, when they can't even mind their own business....


Naija I hail!



Rubbish post.



And for those that are missing GEJ (Mr fresh air), he is at Otuoke.


One week in office for PMB! God bless the President (irrespective of who), God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!


Your second to last paragraph only showed the mediocrity of everything reasonable you wrote before that paragraph. Sorry for the disappointment. Sai baba grin.
