I had been usiing my Blackberry
Bold 5. I think. One
of those camera phones and it was
clear that The Lord
wanted me to upgrade. A new year
beckoned and I wanted to
enter it with one of those phones
that used stylus and were
y’know big. So, ladies and
gentlemen, I proceeded to proceed
to
Computer Village to make my
dream a reality. I had with me
my old phone and about N10, 000.
The plan of course was to
do a swap, add some cash and get
the precious Q10. Gosh, I
was so excited.
That’s how I got there with my own
two legs and saw those
guys that sell phones on the street.
Asked one if he had the
phone o, he said yes. Can’t
remember his name sha, but he
sha
showed me the Q10. I played with
it, even made a demo call
and all to be sure it worked. Baba
took me off the street saying,
“We can’t do business here o,
before these agberos will ask you
to settle them”. So, he took me to
a shed. All this while, he
wrapped the Q10 in a white
handkerchief saying he didn’t
want it to scratch and that’s how he
keeps his phones. Me that I
wasn’t even paying attention. I was
just excited ‘cos my level
was about to change. Nigga just
give me phone, abeg.
So, we’re chilling in this shed,
negotiating. He says I’m going
to have to give up my phone and
cash. I’m like, “How much?”
He says like N15, 000. I’m like,
“Just look at this scam. I’ll
give you N10, 000 last.” He mutters
some shot and agrees. He
takes my phone to check it. He
then tells me he’s going to stop
a bike for me so that no agberos
will disturb me immediately
we’re done. I’m like Okak. He takes
the N10, 000, counts it
and then gets a bike for me. He
tells me not to stop o because
these agberos. So he hands me the
handkerchief.
Men and brethren, I got on this bike
so excited and told the
bike man, “Go go go, don’t stop!!!”
The bike man took me to Allen
avenue before I came down. I
held on to this handkerchief like my
life depended on it. Fam, I
was a big boy now. They were going
to respect me now. I had
officially arrived. Do they know
those of us that have Q10?
Shiiii.
So I said, let me check my phone
jare. I unwrapped the hanky.
Children of God, I unwrapped the
hanky – and looking at me
in all it’s glory was a bright white bar
of B29 soap. I looked at
the soap, the soap looked at me…I
looked at the soap. I poked
the soap. Maybe this was a case for
the phone. I turned the
soap over. No buttons, No screen. I
was weak, guys. I was
weak. I stood there for some
minutes staring at this soap.
Look. I took the quickest bike back
to Computer Village. Of
course, it was instinct. I didn’t see
the seller. I still had the
bloody soap. One idiot there now
asked me, “Broda, why you
dey para? Dem no give you the
cream wey dey follow the
soap?”
Ladies and gentlemen, I had sold
my phone and paid extra
N10, 000 for B29 soap (with no
accompanying cream). That’s
most likely the most expensive B29
soap in the history of
Nigeria.
I Have to borrow my aunts phone
for the main time

Buhari Is A Ticking Time Bomb With A Dangerous Agenda Mr Femi Aribisala predicted on Twitter that when critical decisions are to be taken, Yemi Osinbajo, the token Southerner in Aso Rock, would be sent to go and buy “guguru and epa.” This has proved prescient. The vice president was barred from attending a national security briefing on the grounds that he did not have security clearance. But who can have more clearance than a man elected by the people? How did Buhari himself get his? On August 30th, 2015, the vice president was again publicly embarrassed when armed men shut down the Aso Rock Chapel, preventing him from worshipping there. After shouting myself hoarse, warning Nigerians not to elect Buhari as president, I decided to keep quiet and watch things unfold from the sidelines. Fela said about Buhari’s first-coming: “The people wey no sabi dey jubilate, the people wey sabi dey shake their head.” It is now passed 100 days since Muhammadu Buhari became president and many of my worst fears have been confirmed. President Buhari is a ticking time-bomb that might precipitate the disintegration of Nigeria! Presidential dictatorship In the middle of a national economic crisis, the president has been comatose. He made himself the Sole Administrator of Nigeria; a role not envisaged by the Constitution. These 100 days, Buhari has been the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Petroleum, as well as the Attorney-General. He has been the Minister of Education, even though we are yet to see his school-leaving certificate. He alone has been the minister in all the ministries of the federal government. As a result, the country has ground to a halt. There has been no national direction, no economic policy; no government. Only bombastic anti-corruption rhetoric. Not surprisingly, the economy has gone from bad to worse. Official reports from the National Bureau of Statistics indicate that while like Nero, Buhari fiddles as Nigeria burns, our GDP has plummeted to 2.35 percent; a 40 percent decline under Buhari. Job-creation has dropped by 69 percent. The CBN, in its Monetary Policy Committee Report of August 2015, complained that: “lack of fiscal directives is behind (Nigeria’s) current economic woes. ” This is a big indictment of the administration. The coming of Buhari has brought about stagnation in domestic and foreign direct investments. The stock market has nose-dived, with investors scared away due to uncertainties arising from the government’s indecisiveness in the face of national economic adversity. One-chance presidency It is now clear that Buhari obtained votes from Nigerians during the election through false pretences. Contrary to his highfalutin campaign promises, he has not stabilised the international price of oil. Instead, it has fallen drastically from $60 to $40. Buhari has not made the naira equal to the dollar. As a matter of fact, it has depreciated considerably under his short watch. He has not used his vaunted military experience to defeat Boko Haram. On the contrary, the insurgency has become far more deadly, with over 1,000 innocent Nigerians killed within just three months. Buhari’s promised free meals for school- children, allowances for discharged Youth Corpers, and 5,000 naira monthly allowance for indigent Nigerians have all turned out to be poppycock. He has not even mentioned the coal industry in Enugu, how much more made any moves to revive it. His boast to APC governors that he will recover billions of dollars of stolen funds within three months has proved to be hogwash. With the election over, he quickly backtracked on Chibok, saying: “We do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued.” In my years as a public policy analyst, I have never seen a government anywhere spend its vital first 100 days doing absolutely nothing like this one. In defence of the president’s ineptitude, Lai Mohammed said in a recent interview that: “Buhari never promised he was going to do anything in 100 days, that’s the honest truth.” This admission by the mouthpiece of the APC confirms conclusively that President Buhari has wasted 100 days of Nigerian lives. Stolen achievements Such improvements as are noticeable are legacies of the Jonathan administration. It is the height of deception that the do- nothing Buhari government has been trying to take credit for them. Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Chairman, Sam Amadi, stressed that the recent improvements in power supply are the result of the efforts made by the Jonathan administration . That should put paid to bogus attempts to attribute them to the effects of Buhari’s “body language.” Neither does “body language” bring about a turnaround maintenance of our refineries. The credit for this goes to “clueless” Jonathan, and not to “Baba Go-Slow.” If we are now celebrating the end of polio in Nigeria, it has nothing to do with Buhari, and everything to do with Jonathan. If we are indeed well on our way to self- sufficiency in rice production, it is because of the activities of Jonathan, and not because of the inactivity of Buhari. In three months, the Buhari administration has added nothing to past achievements. On the contrary, it seems inclined to bring things to a standstill. Media blackmail Instead of providing effective leadership, Buhari has opted for a campaign of calumny against the Jonathan administration . Day-in, day-out, we are regaled with outrageous declarations without substantiation about how bad the previous government was, and by how much it ran down the economy. Only the gullible would fail to realise this is just a pathetic attempt to divert attention from the incompetence of the Buhari government. Buhari claims he inherited an empty treasury. Nevertheless, he found over $30 billion in our foreign reserves. He says: “Jonathan’s ministers stole 150 billion dollars,” without telling us where he got this outlandish figure from. We are told one million barrels of oil were stolen every day under Jonathan, without any shred of evidence to back this up. Buhari even went on record to claim Jonathan diverted $700 million from the $1.1 billion Chinese loan for the Lagos/Kano rail project. But the evidence shows the loan was for three different projects, with only $400 million earmarked for Lagos/Kano rail. Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State says a senior official of the Obama administration revealed that a Jonathan minister stole $6 billion dollars, no less. This has been denied by the Americans. He claims a consultancy fee of 140 billion naira was paid for the Second Niger Bridge project. However, the Bureau of Public Procurement says the total cost of the bridge is 108 billion naira . Oshiomhole should face his state and desist from further cheap newspaper blackmails. Someone needs to remind the APC that election campaigns are over. Once bitten, Nigerians are now twice shy. APC won by manipulating the media. It cannot expect to rule using the same trickery. Anti-corruption media distractions Buhari’s so-called fight against corruption has already become a farce. The first salvo was to lock up former Jigawa State governor and prospective 2019 PDP presidential candidate, Sule Lamido and his two sons in jail with extreme prejudice. Then when Saraki rocked the boat by steamrolling himself to the Senate presidency without APC endorsement, his wife was peremptorily invited for lunch by the EFCC. The Senate has now retaliated by putting the EFCC Chairman himself on trial on allegation he stole trillions of recovered naira . The truth of the matter is that any anti- corruption probe is likely to open up a can of worms. Buhari is surrounded by corrupt politicians. Indeed, the APC is so corrupt, the president has not been able to find 36 “clean” ministers among his colleagues in over 100 days. That is some kind of a negative record. After claiming he did not have the 27.5 million naira required for the APC presidential nomination papers and had to borrow it, Buhari now claims he has 30 million naira sitting pretty in his bank account . How does he account for this discrepancy? Some of us are also wondering where he got all the money used to finance his expensive election campaign. If the president wants to probe, he should go right ahead and do so. However, the current shenanigans of trying people in the media , and declaring everybody PDP guilty without trial, only attests to the lack of sincerity. APC governors, including Amaechi and Kwankwaso, are also accused of corruption. Fashola of Lagos is alleged to have spent 78 million naira setting up a personal website . These are the president’s political buddies. We are waiting to see if his famous probe will also reach them. Fighting corruption on the pages of newspapers cannot surely be the only preoccupation of a government. One trenchant observer said: “Probing is not governance neither is body language a substitute for economic policy .” Northern agenda With 100 days in office, Buhari’s ethnic chauvinism is no longer hidden. We have now discovered that what he meant to say on his inauguration is: “I belong to every Northerner, and I belong to no Southerner.” The president went on official trip to the U.S. without an economic agenda, but with 29 Northerners and only four Southerners. While there, he declared that: “The constituents (that) gave me 97 percent cannot in all honesty be treated on some issues with constituencies that gave me five percent.” We now understand his thinking. Fulani herdsmen continue to kill innocent farmers while Buhari sees no evil and hears no evil; after all, he called them “my people” to Lam Adesina of Oyo State. Of the 32 critical appointments he has made so far, 27 are from his native North and only five from the South. Not a single appointment from the South-East. When queried about this blatant discrepancy, Femi Adesina from the South, and not Garba Shehu from the North, was craftily trotted out. Tongue-in-cheek, we are told the appointments were made strictly on merit . But since when did the North acquire a monopoly of merit in Nigeria? How can the region with regularly low cut-off JAMB scores suddenly become the citadel of the most meritorious public servants in the country? Do-nothing government The Buhari administration is shaping out to be the most incompetent and inconsequential in the history of Nigeria. It is full of sound and fury signifying nothing. What exactly was the point of electing a “Mr. Do-Nothing” as president of a country of 170 million people? After 100 days, it should now be abundantly clear that Buhari is not qualified to be president of 21st century Nigeria. The president has neither agenda nor direction. His cardinal objective is apparently the prosecution of Northern hegemony. The APC desperately needs to organise an intervention, before Buhari drives the country into the ditch. How can an ethnic champion be expected to lead Nigeria into the future? It is time to admit it. Electing Buhari as president was a big national blunder. Femi Aribisala is a scholar and international affairs expert. He is currently an iconoclastic church pastor in Lagos. He is also a syndicated essayist for a handful publications in Nigeria.
