Its amazing how IPOB/wailers hold on to any criticism of d PMB govt, such ghouls!

They are d first to shout dictatorship, yet want a Tanzania like rule?

PMB said no more disobeying traffic rules, they were screaming eye service!

PMB is trying to catch looters legally, they are crying witch-hunt!

Pls, make up ur minds on what u want! Its either u'll wait patiently for changi to manifest, if it doesn't, vote PMB out in 2019, or pack down to Tanzania till then! Dazzol!

For ur info, GMB was smuggling looters in 1983! Using whips to instill discipline! Cancelled foreign imports to try encourage local industries! All these and much more, but wailers like u were jubilating when he was overthrown, now when he claims to be a reformed democrat(which u'll still insist is a lie) u're comparing him to a lesser version of his 1983 self??! B.S.

Dude what are you talking about

If PMB wants to catch looters, he should start from his own party. There is no way that it will not be seen as a witch-hunt when you target everyone else but wont touch those around you

Why should people wait patiently for change to manifest, wasn't GEJ insulted every day during his presidency. PMB will have the same all the way to 2019

When someone is ready to lead, he leads by example. This man carefully knew d problems faced By his country b4 seeking elective post as the president. Despite supporting President Buhari, I believe he wasn't ready for the enormous tasks of changing the ills facing the country. While it's quite early to pass judgement on his Govt., his body language does not suggest the much needed change will be xperienced soonest. To his advantage he has more than 36 months to turn things around. Until then I keep sealed lips.

Young, vibrant, dynamic with sense of service for the greater good of the country, Bubu has non of these! You need the oracle to tell that he too old to handle the responsibilities that comes with the office of the president. Aside that the folks that surround him have one question mark or the other hanging over their integrity cool

You don't have to be young to serve your country. Vibrant and dynamic is what Buhari is, compared all our past leaders. He has been daily active and moving, having high level meetings and being brought to speed with national and international matters. He's done a pretty good job so far in being up and doing. Many so called young people will have broken down and not be able to cope with his itinery and tasks. It is only angels that don't have question marks. Even they have question marks.

I expect hypocrisy here towards pmb. ..let me ask you all what is the population of Tanzania? (32million plus)...compared to 210million Nigeria population. ..and have you all asked yourselves maybe there's enough money for him to achieve his campaign promises? Anyway I blame pmb for making promises not knowing what he was going to meet in the govt ...Tanzania does not rely on hydrocarbons like Nigeria. .and that country harbours almost 80% of world elephants. .but here in Nigeria we will rather put those elephants in our belly..let's just stop the blame game Buhari is yet to spend a year as our leader but the criticism he faced is way more than the ones pdp got for their 16years oblivious reign. ...even if their is going to be a change its not going to be a rapid process we all know that

Excuse me.. Compare his deeds with that of the globetrotter in chief?

Buhari cannot even dare cut the cost of his inauguration talkless cut the costs of anything in his itinerary..

Don't be surprised that in aso villa... Common bic biro sells for 1k if not more before the dollar debacle... Now e spose dey cost like 3k for insyd budget..

It's not so much bout how beautiful a house looks... Wat really matters is the foundation that led to the house that was built..

The globetrotter in chief promised the heavens almost a year ago.. Tell me of all wat he promised... How many has he achieved..?

Buhari wasn't the one who organised his inauguration. Nonetheless, his spendings have been less than the previous governments so that is some form of cutting costs. Independence day celebrations, people visiting him and leaving with lots of money, halving his salary and that of his VP, cutting delegates that follow him up and down in travels and convoys. Even the much abused budget is lower in expenditure costs than the previous budgets.

John Magufuli is doing what has been termed the “Rwandanisation of Tanzania”. If you dont know about what Paul Kagame has done with Rwanda make Google your friend.

New Tanzania President did this in just 3 Month - AMAZING

Here are some of the things John Magufuli has done already in LESS THAN A MONTH. Not in 3 or 6 years, one month. He’s shown a clear commitment to walk the talk but not to talk and talk and talk and talk more like we do here:

1. Soon after his election, Magufuli declared there would be no celebration of Independence Day on 9 December because it would be “shameful” to spend huge sums of money on the celebrations when people were dying of cholera. Instead, the day has been set as a national day of cleanliness, and the money will go toward street¬cleaning services. He has said everybody should pick up their tools and clean their backyards.

2. After his first official visit to the Muhimbili Hospital, and seeing the horrible state it was in, he ordered over 200 million shillings marked for “parliament parties” be used to pay for beds for people lying on the floor and sharing beds.

A few days later 300 beds were delivered. He dismissed the governing board and got a new team in place, and within days the broken MRI was fixed. He also pared down his inauguration party from $100,000 to $7,000 and sent the extra money to the hospital.

3. Three days into his term, Magufuli announced a ban on all foreign travel by government officials. They have been instructed to instead make regular visits to rural areas to learn and help solve problems facing everyday Tanzanians. All tasks that required officials to travel abroad would instead be done by high commissioners and ambassadors who are already in place.

4. He has restricted all first¬ and business class travel to government officials, except the president, vice¬president and prime minister.

5. There will be no more workshops and seminars in expensive hotels when there are so many ministry board rooms available.

6. He suspended the Tanzania Revenue Authority’s chief and other officials pending investigations after a visit by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa to the port of Dar es Salaam found 350 containers listed in its books were missing.

7. When he had to travel 600km to Dodoma, from Dar, to officially open parliament last week, he didn’t order a private jet – instead, he chose to drive.

8. At the National Assembly in Dodoma last week he clearly sent out the message that it will not be business as usual under his leadership.

9. He promised to cut public spending, fight corruption and enhance accountability in public service. He said it is time for Tanzanians to walk the talk.

10. Magufuli reportedly told parliamentary leaders that the people of Tanzania want him to solve their problems and not make speeches.

Only Africans can develop Africa, cause development is initiated locally from within, not from abroad. As long as Buhari believes he will partner with white people to revive our economy, nothing will be achieved. All these overseas trip is a waste of resources, time and energy. We've been partnering with white people since 1400 century when Europeans first made contact with Africa. Ever since, all we get in return is exploitation instead.

DanjaNinja:



This is where you compleletely get it wrong. No matter how complex a nation is, as a leader, when you set the example, all others will follow. Besides, Tanzania is multi ethnic and complex society. Do u think corrupt political cabals are non existent in Tanzania?

Now tell me, what would happen if :
1. Buhari cancels all presidential foreign trips for 6months pending the improvement of the economy?

2. What would happen if Buhari visits the major hospitals in Naija just for a routine check?
(He has visited over 29 countries but not one single hospital).

3. What would happen if Buhari single handedly refuses to accept the silly billions allocated for food @ Aso Rock?

You see my point? Nobody can stop him from doing these things. But he doesn't do any of them.

What you don't understand is that as a leader, its not your words that matter, but your actions and from my humble observation, Buhari has done nothing to assure Nigerians that change is here.

Another wasted four years.

Buhari halved his salary for instance, who followed?
There is absolutely no sense in cancelling all presidential foreign trips for 6months, they are not going there to play or sight see. They are moving around asking for help, meeting over loans, foreign investment, security details, oil markets and prices, recovering Nigeria's wealth etc. These are all necessary visits that are yielding and will still yield good fruits in time to come. It is foundational work, or you think sending emails and chatting on whatsapp is what will do the work?
Buhari does not need to visit hospitals, though i remember him at one during a boko haram attack sometimes last year. He is not a doctor, and he is paying ministers and other government workers to do that. His work is mainly administrative and his budget is yet to be approved, which ties his hands to an extent. What exactly is happening in hospitals that you think he needs to start visiting, is he a miracle man or what?
The money allocated to feeding in Aso Rock is not up a billion, quit the lying(exaggeration).
It is too early to conclude the outcome of the first four years of the current government.

Bro, u no get case! How is the party not in power supposed to have access to loot? With the rate of media coverage, I don't think any petition against an APC chieftain, will be swept under any carpet!

PMB has dared all and sundry to bring petitions with evidence and see if he won't act! Or u expect them to indict themselves?

By the way, Jona wasn't insulted throughout! He was given too much leeway, and he comfortably hanged himself! I voted him as with many of my friends n acquitances. I can remember n direct u to all my social media rants during d Yar'Adua health saga. We believed so much in his capabilities, dared to dream of a Nigeria of our dreams coming to be at his hands. We jubilated from Lagos to Kaduna at his victory!

PMB has been on the ballot since 2003, no southerner looked at him twice! Even OBJ n Jona(1st term) was preferred to him. Yet, it shows the level of Jona's ineffectual buffoonism to make PMB a winner!

And, that's what baffles me about wailers like u; u don't mind wallowing with pigs due to ethnic bigotry, sentiments and unbelievable immorality!

Everyone is free to criticise PMB, its when u start comparing him to that loser(he couldn't win a race in which he had a six years advantage), that I rage!

The purported money he didn't spend? Someone mentioned and compared Buhari to Tanzania president cutting costs and showing example. Now, you are shown where Buhari is cutting costs and all you can say is purported? Obviously, your prior bias will keep you from seeing things clearly.
They brought budget for his inauguration for him to pen, are you kidding me? May 29 inauguration was done and organized by the former government. So, even if someone told you that Buhari was the one that planned it or organized it, you should be able to think logically.
The cost of the Independence Day celebrations was cut down compared to previous ones. Same thing goes for his trips abroad. his delegates and spendings are very much prunned down. There is no lavish and prodigal spending as was the norm in the past government whenever the President travelled. That is yet another cutting down of costs.
He said to reduce his aircraft fleet for the Presidency, that has been done. The only reason why we still have the fleet is because of the ongoing plans for a National Carrier. Obviously, it makes no sense to sell them when you would be needing them to start off a National carrier.
He never said he would give graduates that are jobless 5k monthly. i followed Buhari closely during the campaigns last year and watched most of his speeches and intervies both home and abroad. He NEVER once talked about paying graduates 5000 monthly. The only thing close to 5000 was the Vice President saying that they would create social welfare where they will pay MOST VULNERABLE 5000 monthly. The most vulnerable are not jobless graduates. There was never a promise to jobless graduates for a specific 5000naira. People mixed that up often until even APC chieftains started thinking it was said, just like people talk about 1naira to a dollar promise or ending boko haram in 2months and such likes. There was never such specific promises. these were all exaggerations from PDP mischief makers during the campaigns to ridicule the APC. Unfortunately, the APC hardly countered any mud thrown their way, so much that most of it still stick today. So please get your facts right, there was NEVER a promise to pay graduates 5000naira specifically monthly. They said most vulnerable and they even gave conditions which suggest that they were referring to widows, beggars and their likes. They even talked about making sure these vulnerable people send their children for immunisation and to school before they qualify for such monthly payment. Some of the PDP opposition even started complaining that the APC wants to pay/reward almajiris for helping them. It is unfortunate to now talk with doubl mouth and refer to graduates. That is the truth of the matter.
As for me, i find the payment laughable(whether to vulnerable or graduate), pitiable, unserious pipe dream and unsustainable. And i've been saying that even before the elections. It makes little or no sense and a real waste to me, but what do i know. It has already been budgeted for and you will hear them paying it before the end of the year. But it is NOT for graduates but for the most vulnerable citizens, whatever that means. That is the spade mr.
