Just here to remind ppl dat I m 5%, and I m proud of dat...

Both are failures.
We needed to get rid of Jonathan as we should not be rewarding failure.
Buhari does not have the mental and socialcapacity to lead a nation in the 21st century. Unfortunately, we had no better option.
Unless he has a Damascus experience, this 5 months is a pointer to where he is going.
It is from dawn you tell how a day will be.

I have observed that the people crying these days like the OP are only those that are incapable of succeeding where things are done orderly. They can only thrive in a corrupt and disorderly system. Sorry OP those days are gone, learn to stay in the queue.

We are already in a big mess with this administration. I took my time to read this writeup and fully digested it.

Look I saw this one legged approach to governance long before the elections. I tried to say it but my tiny voice was drowned by the baying mob of change seekers who refused to see beyond the emotional lynch mob who saw all the evil in the world in Jonathan.
We all failed to look at his past performance as a hamstrung military dictator whose main achievements where the war against indiscipline and the long prison terms that were handed over to hapless politicians. I knew it will come to this, I knew that the only song he could sing was that of the anti corruption lame song.
Even with that, I knew he would still be stunted. I knew he would not achieve much in a democratic state where he would just not be able to throw people into jail without recourse to the judicial system. He has cried out in frustration that the judiciary was aiding and abetting the corrupt officials. What did he expect, that he would just catch people and throw them into the gulag just like that? See the way Sambo Dasuki is embarrassing him in the courts and his personal vendetta against that one is so glaring that it's almost childish.

Look our problems today is much more than corruption. The way things are, I do not even care about any corruption again, I have even began to miss Jonathan's corruption. We need to reflate this economy, this Buhari's regime as presently configured does not have the capacity to understand that and is technically bereft to offer immediate solutions.

Did you all read that foreign opinion which circulated last week. Did you see how they insinuated that these gerontocrats archaic policies was driving away investors. No good news is coming out of our land. Foreign businesses especially South African businesses are being targeted. Just recently the huge Supermarket which employs thousands of Nigerians have been shut down claiming that they are selling expired products. This is a copy cat move by the Lagos government following the 'body Language' they have read from the Federal Government. The implications of this on Foreign Investment and the signal to the economy is lost on these useless marauders.

Today instead of a systematic policy of integration and a coordinated assault on the economy from both the fiscal and monetary angles what we get is a military type regime of fines. My brother at the last count, MTN, Guinness are suffering and I am sure a lot more is coming. This is bully economic tactics. How this will resolve long term infrastructural issues and worsening economic indices beats me.

Today anytime our lanky President speaks, it's about corruption, looters secretly returning the funds and how the judiciary is not helping him jail people. His advisers are left with nothing to proclaim but his body language as his achievements. Which body language can you read from a man who is almost permanently in the air. Fourteen foreign trips in six months, billions spent on the Presidential fleet, nothing fundamental coming out of those trips. The sweet smell of change is gradually turning into a foul smell of fart coming out of Buhari's backside.

We are hungry, we are loosing our jobs and crime is back with a vengeance, the rule of law is witnessing an unusual assault, small business is suffering the financial sector is in a comatose, ideas are drying up and the largest economy in Africa is on its knees in submission to a reformed dictator with no idea of modern economic trends surrounded by a band of advisers who remind me of drunken sailors in children fiction.

Kai, the Banks are beginning to show systemic distress. The CBN has come out to aggressively denounce it. They claim that no bank is in distress. That is the biggest lie from the pit of HELL. We know which banks are dying, we know which banks are no longer liquid and this thoughtless TSA policy is the main death knell to these Banks. The banks should have been given enough time to unlock their positions before this military type order which has led them to unraveling positions in almost a distress type sale to meet up the deadline and those who did not do that on time where slammed with monster fines. I can see that Baba is replacing long term jail sentences with world record fines. Laughter is my companion this Sunday morning as I write. Since the judiciary won't allow convictions, then let's slam Fines. Everything and everybody will be fined.

I saw this incompetence, I saw it very early and I shouted but like the lone voice in the wilderness I was not hearkened upon. Oh yea children of Nigeria, blood and sorrow will continue to be your plight until we stand up in one voice and shout the hallelujah by taking our own cross in our hands for we have no government.

The December deadline for the elimination of Boko Haram will certainly be another joke. I hear over 150 soldiers have been massacred recently. There has been no official confirmation so I will not comment, but whatever is the case, I still see the Boko Haram onslaught going far into our nearest future. The Biafrans are crying although misguided but the steam its gathering is being fueled by the frustrations of joblessness, fuel scarcity, harsh economic climate and rudderless leadership hence the seeming legitimacy of a very stupid and callous crusade.

Was Buhari prepared for this, I think not or why would it take him over six months to promulgate a cabinet of the usual suspects. If you were going to settle for Amaechi and Fashola why take that long. You see the mistake Buhari made was that unlike his predecessors Gowon and Obasanjo he never schooled himself after his overthrow. To the best of my knowledge he went back to Daura to his Cows neglecting to keep himself abreast with the happenings in global political economics. Obasanjo became a world statesman, engaging in various platforms of intellectual sagacity, delivering papers with global dimension and being respected for that. So when he came back, he understood the issues, the need for lesser government, the need to remove the subsidy on petrol, the need to create jobs, push for infrastructure and opening up the telecoms sector with little government involvement. What we saw was the foundations of the rebirth of the middle class and the continous push to the economic eldorado which crystallized in the Jonathan era.

Today what we are hearing is the over centralization of government. A policy of the 70s, a national carrier an idea that reminds you of cavemen tactics and a President who doubles as the Minister of Petroleum. We are back in the olden days of big government with its attendant inefficiencies, painfully slow policy formulation with little or no policy execution. The limiting of ground breaking ideas for fear of being clamped down or being totally ignored.

I saw it. I swear I saw it and I remain complacent fighting to keep a job that is being daily berated with thankless policies which continue to constrict the economy. Buhari, I thank you for the more people that Boko Haram has killed, for the businesses that have died and for the ones that cannot pay salaries, thank you sir. We will soon meet at the polls.

I saw this. I swear, I saw it.

pikapizy:
must you always compare? why must it always be PDP vs APC? GEJ vs PMB? so because GEJ failed ,its ok PMB to fail too? ! a good government is known by its works and not by comparison ...to those saying PMB need more time and 6 months is not enough? can you work in firm for 6 months collecting salary without being productive ? you'll be fired!...tell me what these government has been able to achieve in the last 6months! let's judge our government by their work not by comparison ...people who bring up such comparison are daft and stupid no matter how intelligent they try to sound ...they are the enemies of true democracy,enemies of development,slaves and enemies of themselves!

Sagamite:


Explain to me why you think PMB has not been productive.

Tell me what achievements you expected in 6 months and which you have not seen.

I wait.

Another silly WAILER busted.... Look at the ignoramus that couldn't give me Canada's basic recipe or template for their foreign policy, has now turned Joseph the Dreamer...My happiness is that you can tell the mindset of folks by the time you peruse their opinions about certain discourses... Most folks here are actually dumb...What do you expect from a TORCHECUL? The essence of a stable democracy with dividends is actually for the polity or citizenry to ADD VALUES to the democracy which in turn adds value to value adder, if I might be excused to put it that way..And some idiot is expecting to be given handouts in the name of dividends by the government.. That's so precolonial.. Op, RENEW YOUR MIMD BEFORE IT RUINS YOU!!!

gurunlocker:

nobody expect you to see sense in the article.... we know who you are. Pls can you tell me what PMB has done so far? talk about economy, infrastructure, job creation, more investors, agriculture....

heavenlymandate:




What is the non sense?

Arrant nonsense!!!

viktor01:



Spot on.
I don't blame the people for voting Buhari cause he was the better option as at the time of desperation.
though I didn't vote for him but I knew that if APC had presented another candidate, I would have also joined in chanting CHANGE......

PigMeat:

It is palpitational that the average nigerian is bereft of records, therefore can be easily bullied into falsehood without knowing any decision to take. They voted the nepa bill holder, now he's behaving like the nigerian nepa. WITH BUHARI WE DON'T HAVE FUTURE.
