Mr. President's Democracy Day Speech, The Emptiest In The Last 17 Years. by OLADD: 8:00am On May 29, 2016
Listening to Mr. President's Democracy Day broadcast which ended few minutes ago, I cannot but shake my head in utter disbelief, despondency, disappointment and consternation. Empty and shallow, the difference between the speech and APC 2015 campaigns from my own observation, is the difference between half a dozen and six. Characterised by the usual lamentations about the ruins of the past, rhetorics about implementation of the TSA policy, discovery of 43,000 ghost workers in govt payroll, establishment of Efficiency Unit and the much hyped Social Intervention Programmes( which had already been exhaustively echoed by the Ministers of Finance and Information at different fora), nothing suggests this govt has a gilt-edge agenda for speedy recovery of lost grounds economically, politically and socioculturally. On looted fund recovery, the president must have disappointed many of his ardent supporters by failing once again, to give specific figure on amount recovered so far and the number of culprits involved. On security, the president betrayed his "Maitatsine Insurgency feat" by celebrating the rescue of 2 Chibok Girls from a list of 217. Mediocrity has never been this bad in our nation's history. Going as far as threatening Niger Delta agitators in the face of helpless bombings of oil installations would do more harm than good to the nation's fragile economy and peace. Curiously, did anybody notice that the president avoided commenting on herdsmen escapades or was it an unintended omission? If after one year in office, the best President Buhari could offer on his maiden Democracy Day broadcast was the usual loads of seemingly unending promises, the nation needs to fret about its future.

Justice Abang to Olisa Metuh!

"It is a shame that your party was in power for 16 years and could not build a standard hospital in Nigeria. And you have the guts to approach this court for permission to travel abroad on medical ground. I will never grant your request but if you are an ordinary person I will do so."

I doubt the judge really said this. It can ruin the entire case for EFCC. If the judge made such statement, he may have been paid by Metuh's men. The trial can be stopped because the statement clearly shows bias and infringes on his right to a fair trial.

An adage goes thus; if you don't listen to lies, it will be difficult to hear the truth.

Bros, I am from a majority tribe of Nigeria if you Care to know. On a more serous note, please mention any of Mr. President's policies that benefit a large spectrum of the society. Is it the increase in kerosene and petrol price or hike in electricity tariff? Are we talking about the proposed feeding of school children as if their parents are complaining? Pls tell us.

There's absolute no need to post past speeches but if you are in tune with Nigeria's political evolution in the last 17 years, those speeches were laden with facts rather than fiction. This speech is the worst so to say. I don't create threads for fun.

Oga, I am only asking you to prove your assertion. So you vividly remember the other 16 speeches such that you know they were laden with facts? Haba! Did I find the speech inspiring? No but for you to conclude that it's the worst speech without going through the other 16 is just foolishness. Besides what are facts? No matter what he did, you would have still criticized him

Call it foolishness or whatever, it doesn't erase the fact that many people's expectations ( including yours if you really wants to be truthful) were dashed. Tell me any item in the broadcast that's different from statements from the presidency which were already in public domain.

Can you imagine the president saying the rail sector was in comatose yet Ameachi was junketing north and south commissioning rail projects left behind by the last govt? We need to genuinely fear God in this country.
