When Nigerians rouse from sleep on April 1, they will again head for filling stations to join the now de rigueur queues for Premium Motor Spirit.

This is no big news; queueing for hours at petrol stations has been the most recurring item on the itinerary of Nigerians not only for the past month, but also for the third spell in the past three months.

What is news is that when these same people woke up exactly one year ago, the majority of them trooped to the streets in jubilation. Three hours and 47 minutes into that day, opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari was declared president-elect.

But while Nigerians hailed Buhari as a Messiah of sorts, they forgot to remind themselves that no Nigerian leader, democratic or dictatorial, had ever succeeded in delivering socioeconomic prosperity to the masses

[b]Joy so often short-lived[/b]

There was something familiar about the sheer joy that was unleashed on the streets of Nigeria on April 1, 2015.

More than five decades ago, on October 1, 1960, when Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa accepted the symbols of Independence from the Queen of England and cheerily declared that he was "opening a new chapter in the history of Nigeria", it was to the delight of millions of citizens.

Buhari is suffering from dementia and chronic amnesia!!!!!!. There is nothing this man can offer. See there is one african adage says: weekend that will be great will start from friday, so if the man has something to offer the first year will determine it but now all we see now is downtrodden of our governmental system.
INEC- inconclusive
PHCN- inconclusive
Judiciary system- inconclusive
Petrol - inconclusive
All the government parastatals inconclusive.

The problem with Nigeria leaders is that they are self centre. They allow tribalism, nepotism, ethnicity to rule the affairs of the nation. Until these issues are addressed, we will continue to be were we are.

one year later

Did you mean to write "inconclusive"?

Hope this government is not struggling to deliver.
I know, not every job to be done has to do with the budget, but am waiting to see how that aspect will be implemented. pray they do not struggle at it too. otherwise, it will amount to gross failure. And the psychological implication on the electorate will be devastating.

Hope PMB will soon go for quality hands and forget this his compensatory appointment. he should know where to draw the line between politicking and governance.

We need good results i beg. Enough of this mediocrity and subjecting religious leaders who expended energy to support you publicly to mockery.

Wish you God's grace.
