“I believe if Nigeria does not kill corruption;
corruption will kill Nigeria. I pledge to publicly
declare my assets and liabilities and
encourage my political appointees to also
publicly declare their assets and liabilities.” –
President Buhari (during his campaign)

Now, the presidency through the presidential
spokesman has said the promise of asset
declaration wasn’t made by Buhari but his
political party. Jeez! These people just think
say we be mumu sha… dem think say
everybody for naija dey suffer from dyslexia.
Shebi na dem preach say Buhari na modest
man with just two houses and 150 cattle?

They also said Buhari and Osinbajo have
declared their assets, and it is deposited with
the code of conduct bureau and the only thing
needed is just verification by the bureau? How
many months does the Code of Conduct
Bureau need to verify an asset of two houses
and 150 cattle? Nawa ooo!!! Naija una don
see una sef? Is this the “change?”

President Buhari’s achievements as a former
military Head of State may be many. But he
has utterly failed to keep a simple promise
core to the rationale for his election into
office. And as the campaign promises recede
into memory, it is equally clear that this
administration may never provide the needed
reforms that will address the most worrisome
flaws in our democratic system. I have met a
lot of Buhari supporters who are finally
coming to the realisation that they may have
made a very bad decision in the last
Presidential election. So many of them no
longer seem to know why they believed that a
retired military general would perform any
better than the career politicians they
mistrust.

President Buhari’s bygone promises to run
“the most transparent administration in the
history of this country” have become a subject
of mockery, given how he has failed in a
simple task of appointing ministers.
When critics like me attacked his go-slow
government, the administration defended itself
by claiming the president was only taking his
time.

But the problem with this administration is
not only about being too slow but it has also
left untouched the corrupt individuals, which
means that we would continue to live under a
government with significant transparency
problems, a culture of lobbying that is often
tantamount to sanctioned corruption, and an
executive branch of government that preaches
a change that no one gets to see.

Is it unrealistic to expect ambitious systemic
reforms in Nigeria? Yet it remains the case
that many people voted for Buhari precisely
because he promised to attempt them.

I believe president Buhari can solve a lot of
things … but won’t. Whatever he once was or
wasn’t, we should accept that Buhari is now a
creature of the political establishment. He is
captive to its loyalties and prejudices, and
committed to safeguarding its interests. I am
not arguing that he hasn’t or won’t
accomplish anything, but there are whole
categories of problems that he won’t try to fix.

“Change” is a mirage sold to us by Buhari and
his political party to get our votes. And that’s
a shame. Nigerians are unlikely to support a
politician making similar promises in the
future because Buhari has made them
impossible to believe.

Those sending messages to me at mail@etceteralive.com asking me to write on how Buhari’s administration has improved electricity supply in the country should ask themselves how long president Buhari has been in office to put in place the machinery for
such a turnaround. Abi rain nor dey fall for
una area? Let us wait till the dams are dried
up before singing halleluyah.

The guy above me take your time oh!!


No don't give up yet


Change is still coming


Change is actually a metamorphosis (transformation )

Metamorphosis from campaign rhetoric ala I weel pyt kwarruffsion!!! to i governance rhetoric of ''I can't waste my time going far back (for fear of implicating himself and his cronies eventually)'' and ''the president never actually said..................................., it was XYZ who made the ''....................................................'' comment and as such the president can't be held hostage by it''



Please feel free to fill in the blank spaces am sure you all have something to add

And oh! oh! before i forget, you have to salt this mixture with copious helpings of numerical diarrhoea on newspaper pages and media houses websites shamelessly spread by a crack network of paid professional e-touts/bloggers

Now isn't that some potent shyte!!!

Sai chanjiii

Na TODAY?? I've accepted the fact that i've been duped & since then, E NO DEY BOARDER AGAIN..

calebo101:
We've always known the "change" is a mirage. An illusion. Buhari will do nothing because he can't!

Too many moral burdens on him that he's totally incapacitated. Beginning from his sponsors to his party members to his navigator. Corruption is all around him.

And as long as we still practice same messed up judiciary system then there's nothing he can do. The fools actually thought Buhari will decree and it will come into existence . The man has no supreme military council to speed up decisions for him like in 1980s. Moreover he's an illiterate and a core one at that.

Smh

let it take as many month as its like. I dont care as far as am seein changes in governance.

Nigerian are too gullible. I can stand tall and say proudly that i never voted for one chance.
