Calling him that doesn't remove a kobo from his account, nor strip him of all his accolades. what's worse is the fact that it doesn't add any to yours. Keep losing.
Oh, so you know calling Buhari all sorts of names doesn't make him less of your president and it does not remove a dime from his pocket. Keep wailing! grin

Unlike reprobates like you, sensible individuals care a lot about their integrity. They do much to promote their credibility and defend their reputation.

it's not always about amassing wealth through acts of dishonesty and losing your credibility through acts of buffoonry.

While I'm totally against the corruption in GEJ's administration, calling a former Nigerian President an "ineffectual buffoon" is distasteful and shameful. The Economist should stay within the ambit of fair comment and not hurl insults at the highest office in Nigeria.
Didn't Lord Ashcroft, a long-time friend of British Prime Minister David Cameron, accuse him in 2015 of once sleeping with a pig? What name did they call their PM then?

@op lie! So u post a 30th Jan 2016 edition on 27th abi. Another propaganda.

read international or standard magazines...that is the way they date magazines.
If it's quarterly u might Even see a march date.
Our problem as a youth ia that we r quick to name calling rather than use the opportunity to gain knowledge...in the process we call black white and call cat dog
What the economist said is true, but I will agree with those that said they went too far
Yes! jona messed up.
But like a quote i got from a movie (the preacher daughter or some thing)that goes.....he is a dog but he is my dog.
If we have been objective enough we won't need the economist to show that There is poo in our Pants.
The way forward is to be objective go for real knowledge. Any information we get, we need disect it, Google and smart phones have made things easier so we don't av to go to the library or cybercafe.
Have a great week everyone!

I have never insulted someone in office because that'd be a waste of time. They aren't members of NL so they wouldn't even notice it.

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.

EAT?.. you mean like making some people wealthy at the expense of d 'mecunus'.

Reference:


Nigerians including yourself are very short term thinkers. Jonathan came in pre-selected by affirmative action, to find a political solution to the niger-delta question that was threatening the socio-economic foundations of the country. Was it the right thing, perhaps, was it expedient, certainly because our economic woes will have started much earlier had we not 'bought' ourselves out of the militant onslaught. Lessons: Never let short term problems chart long term solutions. Stay focused on the big picture and build value, build institutions, build society.

Have we learned. No. We have let yet another short term problem define our path, our time and our polity. Forgetting resource control, the current issue is corruption and once again it is at the expense of our institutions, our society and our future. So its so easy to tell how this will all end. Just as it started, just as in the 80's and most certainly, with more critical, disparaging articles.

I will always say and believe, that the problem is never with the players but the game itself, never with the actors but the script. Afterall where was Jonathan in 1983. Nigerians, wake up.

what you wrote didn't make any sense to me at all, better luck next time.Short time thinker you call.., you? Simply impulsive

MORE than 30 years ago, a young general swept to power in the fifth of Nigeria’s military coups since independence in 1960. The country he inherited was a mess: bled dry by pilfering politicians within and hammered by falling oil prices without. Last year that general, Muhammadu Buhari, became president again—this time in a democratic vote. The problems he has inherited are almost identical. So are many of his responses.
In the eight months since Mr Buhari arrived at Aso Rock, the presidential digs, the homicidal jihadists of Boko Haram have been pushed back into the bush along Nigeria’s borders. The government has cracked down on corruption, which had flourished under the previous president, Goodluck Jonathan, an ineffectual buffoon who let politicians and their cronies fill their pockets with impunity. Lai Mohammed, a minister, reckons that just 55 people stole $6.8 billion from the public purse over seven recent years.

Mr Buhari, who—unusually among Nigeria’s political grandees—is said to have just $150,000 and a couple of hundred cattle to his name, abhors such excess. As military ruler he jailed, fired or forced into retirement thousands of bureaucrats whose fingers had been in the till. This time, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested dozens of bigwigs, including a former national security chief accused of diverting $2.2 billion. The EFCC has a poor record of securing convictions; but a single treasury account has been introduced to try to stop civil servants siphoning off cash. And agencies which may not be remitting their fair share to the state are having their books trawled by Kemi Adeosun, the finance minister.
Such measures are doubly important because the economy is swooning along with the oil price. The sticky stuff directly accounts for only 10% of GDP, but for 70% of government revenue and almost all of Nigeria’s foreign earnings.

Five years and more of Barawo Bubu and his presidency cabal it is nice to return to oyinbo articles like this that echoed the propaganda of the Association of Past/Present Criminals, APC parroted by their Liar-in-Chief to benefit the man of integriThief, who collaborated with Abacha to loot us silly in the past and is trying to beat Abacha's record of looting now.
What a fraud.
