Very confused newspaper. I believe this article was written by a zombie for the economist. They only told us Buhari's responses to the problems he inherited were almost identical to those during his first stint as military dictator. This is indeed shameful.. We all know buhari's first stint was disastrous on the Nigeria's economy making him to be sacked, so also now he is a democratic president, disastrous! Buhari has not changed..

first of all buhari first tenure was one of the best Nigeria had, during his time the naira was slightly higher than the dollar..and mind u he was overthrown by colleagues in the supreme military council, because of fear that they were no safe, because anyone caught in anytyn shaddy wud be thrown in prison....

We abuse GEJ and PMB without realizing that we are inadvertently desecrating the seat of The President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. Other Nationals now have the temerity to call a former Nigerian president a Buffoon. Would they address president Obama or Bush like that?

Sadly, this despicable tag on GEJ will resonate with a lot of Nigerians who will throng this forum to validate their prejudice, instead of them to call the newspaper to order. It is totally unacceptable for the Economist to address a Nigerian president with those words.

Irrespective of whatever grudges we may have, I think it's better to focus on criticizing the policies, actions or inactions of the president (GEJ/PMB) rather than hauling insults on their person.

still doesnt change the fact that GEJ is an Ineffectual Buffoon undecided

Sorry I totally disagree with you!

They have used the best word to describe the worst President Nigeria has ever had.

He is nothing but a Buffoon and an inglorious fool.

What else can they call a man that presided over the greatest heist ever seen in Africa? A man that opened the floodgates of Nigeria's public finance infrastructure to all his friends all because he wanted to win a second term.

Actually, the Economist is quite liberal. For them to have qualified the retar.d called Jonathan as a buffoon, they must have access to information that supports that qualification.

I will be very happy for them to judge Buhari in same manner if he fails.



I pray u lead a corporate organization one day.

And afta you step down,

a follower of urz shud call u a buffoon.

what do you know.. Buhari's first stint as military dictator was the worst regime in Nigeria history, followed closed by his current administration? Do we talk about tribalism? essential commodities, abuse of rule of law? Buhari is a monster who is not even qualified to be a councillor

People have been calling him all sort of names, even b4 d elections- Clinton, Huffingtonpost, cnn etc

George Bush was called names, Obama is being called names, how much more him? As terrible as d Ghanian economy is presently, I've not heard d citizens calling their President names; because he is not a PhD holder saying "stealing is not corruption" to an international audience!

We might be calling PMB names, but d international audience are falling over themselves to honour him.

Its neva d name calling that matters(that's d critics' job), but the true character of the individual involved.

The economist choice of words is uncalled for. They have been my favourite secular magszine since I was 18.

Buhari may be more disciplined but his economic policies are a complete disaster.

Even thr expansionary budget is nothing to. write home about as it will cause the naira to crash to 400 at the black market.

As bad as Jonathans government was, they had a better grasp of economics
