And some daft souls here think Nigerians don't deserve better than the crap that Buhari and his government are feeding us.

TonyeBarcanista:
When President Buhari broke the news that he won't be paying N5,000 to 25 million Nigerians(which is contrary to his campaign promise), there was a reaction of feelings of betrayal of trusts across the country (though some of us weren't surprise). As if that was not enough pill to swallow, the Vice President's office released a statement denying the existence of such promise. This denial came 24hours after the government's spokesman Alhaji Lai Muhammed insulted Nigerians intelligence when he appeared on Channel's TV on February 28. According to Lai Muhammed

Nigerians may forgive President Buhari for failing to meet any of his unrealistic pledges but can we swallow the denial and insults on our collective intelligence from the government? I think it will be appropriate to address the claims of the Vice President and that of the Information Minister squarely before gullible Nigerians swallow them as truth.

1. VP Yemi Osinbajo Claim of No "Unemployment Benefit" Promise:
It is never my intention to pick on Yemi Osinbajo, a man many see as the face of the righteous in government. It is however worrisome when the supposed model of Christians in politics engage in bareface lies just to suit interest of his government and group. First, he desecrated the pulpit by claiming that President Jonathan(and Yar'adua) built no road in 10years. Haba! As if that was not enough he has gone further to deny a key campaign promise of his party.

Was Yemi Osinbajo in limbo when APC Campaign team put up this billboard during the electioneering period?

Is Yemi Osinbajo saying that Hajiyya Aisha Buhari, the President's Wife was out of her mind when she reminded them to fulfil the promise on November 10, 2015 through her spokesperson Mrs Adebisi Ajayi?


Was Yemi Osinbajo in limbo when in November 2014 the Youth Minister in the presence of the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun reiterated the government's pledge to pay the unemployment benefit?


Is the VP telling us that Nigerians are stupid? I won't be surprised if the VP comes tomorrow to deny ever pledging to pay the elderly and disabled that he made on January 7, 2015 in Osun state. Quoting his own words....


Or will Osinbajo also deny ever making such statement?

[b]2. Alhaji Lai Muhammed Blame on "Oil Price Fall":
Speaking on Channels TV on Feb 28, 2015, Lai Muhammed said...


While I will not spend time to address the effort of the Information Minister to justify a deliberate act of deception, I find his deliberate act of blaming oil price as offensive and inappropriate.

Firstly, oil price started dropping in July 2014 when Buhari was yet to pick up APC Presidential nomination form. As at November 2014, the oil price downed to $77 per barrel from $105 per barrel in July 2014. As at December 2014 when Buhari won the APC ticket, the oil price was at $60.70 per barrel. As at January 2015 when APC inaugurated their Presidential campaign council and rolled out their gigantic promises, the oil price was at $47 per barrel. As at March 2015 when Buhari won the election, the oil price shot to $52 per barrel. As at April 2015 when Buhari was declared winner by INEC, oil price was $57.54 per barrel. There was NEVER a time that APC made ANY promise when oil price was selling at $100 per barrel. Is it that it is only Alhaji Lai Muhammed that was unaware of this?

(See more on oil price history here https://ycharts.com/indicators/average_crude_oil_spot_price)


The positions of VP Yemi Osinbajo and Alhaji Abdulai Muhammed is not only a slap on our intelligence but a scandal on the government of Buhari. The statement by Yemi Osinbajo, that is supposed to be the face of born again Christian believers(which I belong) is worrisome. Is this a government of promised change or a government of change of promise?





May God Bless Us All and Bless Our Nigeria

Agubushmenyo:


You are quick to point to the deception of another party after 9months in office, but as a goodwill Nigeria, you won't calculate if it is actually worth it!!

Imagine a scenario where unemployed youths are paid 5000naira monthly but the working men and women are owed their dues!! You will still come out to shout "deception"... I am non partisan and I have witnessed "hard times" in the country!!

But yet I judge every government with the "Forces" affecting it and drop in Oil price is one of them!

Let's go back to your State, if you can be frank with me, you will asnwer my question with all sincerity!!!

Name the Government in Nigeria that has fufilled 20 percent of its campaing promises!!

Talk less of after 9months in Office!!

Quote me when you have an answer to give me!!

Remain blessed!!

persius555:
Either ways, the 5000 naira unemployment benefit would have been a disaster if implemented. Such spending would have put more pressure on the depleted forex reserve. Yes, APC used this as a propaganda tool to actualize their political ambition, it was wrong to decieve nigerians with such. As for Tonyebarcanista, he is doing what every opposition should be doing, putting the ruling party on its toe.

No matter what their lies or the unkept promises are, we still can't start accusing a political party that has not even spend up to one year in power/office.

Zombies:

.
Buhari:
Unemployed Nigerians should pay 5k every month to the government.
.
His idiotic zombies will be like:
.
Zombies:

jonnieoneng:


U are God sent.I was about to decide going on a self imposed exile or ban,in view of the ridiculous comments I have been reading.

Savigne:

This is a faceless forum,he could be a writer for a popular newspaper for all you know.
And I dont see the hate in the message,fine he could be biased on occasion but like they say in every nonsense,is an element of sense.
Peace.

Savigne:

He was simply pointing out the loopholes in this present govt,that's the work of the opposition right?.
His motive might not be all good but that doesnt change the authenticity of the message.
A lot of people had high expectations for this govt so when they dont deliver,this is what happens.
And in his defence,he actually wrote a totally objective article the other time,dunno if you read it.But if you didnt you should.

Well I hope things get better,I remember I used to tell people that the Nigerian economy was gonna get worse before it gets better.I believe this govt can pull it off but taking us for fools is a really bad way to go about it.
