American and Western European experts predicted that Nigeria will disintegrate in 2015. With the political desperation and frenzy that marked the political campaigns of presidential election, many thought that Nigeria was at the point of disintegration. Surprisingly, the election took place without the much anticipated violence. And following the election, the incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan, conceded defeat to the victorious opposition candidate, Mohammudu Buhari. This forestalled the anticipated violence and predicted breakup.

Disturbingly, Nigeria is still not completely out of the woods; as it may still break up. The possibility of conflict and dissolution of the country continue to loom because Buhari is stoking trouble. He is actively stirring up issues that can lead to serious national conflicts. Nigeria is a very complex country, and its governance is complicated by tribal, religious and sectional rivalries. Buhari is insensitive to this complexity and lacks the finesse and dexterity to govern Nigeria. With a military background and orientation, and a total lack of a liberal education, he is ill-equipped to preside over a democratic Nigeria. He has no refinement, and as such, only understands the language of force. He also does not understand the world order. Recall that he once referred to Germany as Western Germany and Chancellor Angela Merkel as President Michelle.

There is no doubt that corruption is killing Nigeria, and that something needs to be done to deal with it. But you do not pull the entire house down simply to kill the rats in the ceiling. It demands that you methodically take out the rats one by one, so that, after the rats are gone, you still have a house to live in. He needs to respect the equality of all Nigerians under the law. His 95 per cent formula is naive and counterproductive. A successful war on corruption is not necessarily a function of the number of people jailed. The emphasis should not be just on sending people to jail for corruption, but also, in deterring acts of corruption. Buhari refuses to understand that Nigeria is a representative democracy, and not a military dictatorship.
A democracy is guided by the rule of law and not the impulsiveness and arbitrariness of a retired army general. Buhari is impetuous; he does not have the patience and tolerance for the measured pace of the law. He wants, at his whims and caprices, to jail southern politicians and his enemies of northern extraction such as Col. Sambo Dasuki. He wants to rearrange the judiciary, and reconstruct and expand Kirikiri Prison. He will then fill it with his political enemies, as all those he fingered for corruption will automatically be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) and jailed for one 100 years by a compliant judiciary, dominated by northern judges.

Is Buhari’s hypocrisy not conspicuously obvious? To tackle corruption, he must first purge himself of his excess baggage. He must approach equity with clean hands. How on earth can he fight corruption when the likes of Tinubu, Okorocha and former governor, Amaechi are his political allies? Amaechi is the man who funded Buhari’s campaign with the money stolen from the coffers of Rivers State. Buhari, of course, knew that the funds were stolen. At the time he was splurging stolen money on the Buhari ,Amaechi was a sitting governor. He was not a multi-billionaire, so the source of the money was obvious to Buhari.

It is understandable that a president appoints people he is comfortable with. But to appoint only his friends and relatives to pivotal positions is nepotism. Nepotism is corruption. And he insulted the sensibilities of Nigerians by justifying the appointments on the grounds that the appointees are loyal to him as friends and relatives. In addition, his punishing of those regions of the country that did not vote for him is grossly unfair. It is not only setting a dangerous precedent but inflames ethnic fury.

My honest advice to Buhari is to first of all stabilize the economy and embark on institutional reforms that will strengthen the judiciary and the legislature before delving into other major divisive issues. However, he is neither reforming nor strengthening our national institutions. Actually, he is weakening them; he meddles in the judiciary and remote-controls the Senate and the House; thus, undermining the separation of powers. This is posing a serious problem for Nigerian democracy because these branches of government need to operate independently.

What we are experiencing today is a military regime masquerading as a democracy. Buhari’s hounding of his political enemies with Gestapo-styled DSS raids on state government houses, private homes, etc attests to this reality. I see 1966 coming full cycle. And if this continues, Nigeria will break up.

Enemies of progress at work again

I believe in #one 9ja, Buhari or no Buhari ..

United we stand

So basically corruption is the glue the holds Nigeria together... wonderful!!

Biafra is here

This story is like the biblical endtimes that is screamed from the high heavens yet refuses to take place. Laughing out loud at the steady insinuations.

Also, didn't read. Lol.


Come to think of it, I'd try and skim through half of the page to get an idea.

I hate noisemaking. If this house must fall so we can live in peace, so be it.

Crying Wailers improving in their wailing role each day.

We want it to divide.


This Is a Zoo

Knights Templer ,thank you for saying the truth. To the people pushing Buhari its nonesens, but time will tell . I equally believe that Buhari needs to be schooled in National Democratic Institute first

Politics was fun when APC was opposition
PDP don't know how to do it at all

Be true to yourself!!

na today we dey hear am. Even almighty america failed. Wake up to the reality, nigeria though i hate it would continue to exist. Why? Simple the north are the only ones that can make it break up. But so far we knw why they cant, and even the west has fully settled in and learnt how to play the chess to get invovled which has worked. It would only remain the east left in the lurnch. The ss would soon learn to play ball and play chess

Feranchek:
I pray it comes to fruition

God bless PMB

God bless the SOVEREIGN STATE OF BIAFRA!!!

God bless u for respecting the president, at least he represent us 4 the mean time. I wish u have u biafra amen

Buhari deliberate exclusion of the South East from governance is a time bomb waiting to explode

The problem I see here is that we refuse to understand a constructive criticsm and we are been blindfolded with our miopic reasoning and understading of realities.
The ops in his analogy has tried his best but I pray the minds of the readers will be so fertile to asimilate

...The emphasis should not be just on sending people to jail for corruption, but also, in deterring acts of corruption...

The bolded is my view. You don't go dealing with the branches, for every branch you cut off will be replace with fresh ones, so long as the root is still connected to the soil. Uproot the tree and the branches will die.
The system need to be structured aright, such that corruption will be naturally discouraged.

Story !!

Wailing wailer, bitter loser... Nigeria is not disintegrating, the country will stand gidigba!

have u heard the latest news of the meeting of the super powers byhari u are in trouble let's wait 4 the outcome the zoo must surely fall trust satan bless pmb and Nigeria but may the most high bless BIAFRA

I can wait to see the Federal Republic of Nigeria breaking into pieces. This is a good news for the Biafrans.

Why would there be war b4 breakup? Why will a group declare a total annihilation of another group bcus they
decided to part ways with them? I just can't figure
out why africa so much like war. Britain recently
organize a referendum for independent of scottish
pple , without any bloodshed. When will africa grow
an advance mental faculty to understand that
forcing or threaten a group of pple with war to
remain with you is tantamount to slavery. The
togetherness of different group of pple can only
yield good when there exist a harmonious mutual
understanding btw them. There is no love in the
unity of Nigeria, and the southerners has been on
the receiving end esp the Igbo christians , who had
continue to be a victim in the numerous tribal
massacres often perpetrated in the North part of
Nigeria. Where is the love?

Buhari is a terrorist - El Rufai

Buhari is a serial coupist - Kwankwaso
