Seahawk:
Keep blaming the past administration.
If buhari can't save Nigeria, he shouldn't have asked for it. Not going in there to commence blubbering like a pleb with adamant zombie followers supporting him all through his tyranny and foolishness.

things were stagnant since 1960 with stagnant laws, if u ipod want things to continue like since 1960, no need to wail again or insult pmb again, nigeria wil not work with bottle-neck laws

bettercreature:
It's actually wrong to grant him more powers,we all know PMB he doesn't listen to people and can be very aggressive

kid!

Izonpikin:
salvage what country?
if buhari cant work with the present powers that be then let him go back to daura..true federalism the president wont.
reel out economic policies this admin wont

nigeria has a good economy policies since 1960, which has not be implemented since D whiteman left us, for example- states cant access fund to improve their state education, contractors cant be paid 50% for mobilisation, d T&C in d sales of nepa is stil d obstacles why we don ha

The report on seeking emergency power, was it from APC or the presidency?
You guys need to develop and mature at speed of light.

Oga u see APC for dat post,

repogirl:

I read it from top to bottom and stated my own opinion but ofcourse you would foolishly jump into conclusions for reasons best known to you only.

It's obvious you read it as claimed with a preconceived view of your president whilst idiotically failing to process the information

Wasn't it obvious they were considering the idea in order to circumvent the obvious inherent delays/red tape that sometimes make policies/procedures difficult to navigate

I processed it very well basing my conclusion on Buharis track record of economic disaster both in 1984 and present, gross negligence for the law, unfair, lopsided, obvious favouritism and nepotism in making appointments and general incompetence etc.

OBJ did not need sweeping powers, neither did GEJ when Nigeria displaced SouthAftica to be the largest economy in the continent but here comes a self proclaimed Messiah with a past record of only failure to 'change' things for the worse.

After the rapid deterioration of the economy in barely a year of him in office, only a totally brainless idíot would be optimistic that anything can come forth from this government with their trial and error tactics that have achieved only gross negative results.

OBJ didn’t have to work under suspicion of tribal and religion favouritism.
OBJ didn’t rule a polarised country at the time
OBJ didn’t work with bipartisan NASS
OBJ probably used corruption to achieve the meagre results he was able to achieve in his years at the helm. Are you suggesting Buhari plunders the treasury with reckless abandonment so the legislooters can get to work. You need to remember politics in Nigeria is all about party affiliation rather than championing causes for the development of the masses

At least you agree that the deterioration process was started during the previous organisation if your rapid deterioration comment is anything to go by. Now only illiterates who failed to understand basic economic principles will keep yarning dust about our current situation without magnifying the underlying cause and in turn supporting the leaders who are trying to provide sustainable longer term solutions to our basic problems.

Should we deplete our foreign reserves to stabilise the naira just so a select few can enjoy their imported goods?

Oxenomy:
that animal you quoted doesn't reside in Nigeria so whatever the ediot in Aso Rock does will not affect him. He is known to support every type of nonesense coming out from the presidency.. I wonder why some people can be so wicked?

lol..... don't be deceived bro that guy is in Nigeria flesh and blood. I always laugh my ass off whenever he claims not to be here in naija

Like I said earlier, BUHARI lacks the integrity, intelligence and general mindset to make this work.

If he is granted sweeping powers, it would most likely be hijacked by the notorious CABALS in his government we hear so much about.

So far he hasn't fairly managed the power he withholds and now he wants even more? That's never going to happen.

Buffer:
The beauty of democracy is in the relationship the 3 arms of government have in delivering progress.

Buhari has proven over time that he cannot work with anyone.

Federal ministers have been reduced to messengers
Police is now like private army
And now, the Legislature is about to be done away with

The best path any democratic leader should take is to present a bill to the Legislature to amend, for instance, the procurement bill and lobby them for faster passage NOT looking for powers to set the bill aside.

US government has full time lobbyists to work with the Legislature and push any executive policy through, Buhari and El rufai just think they know the best and everyone else are zombies

They think everyone else are zombies because there are still many zombies who have refused to use their common sense.

There is a reason the laws were set like this in the first place but zombies are just Zombies.

Y is tht ths govt is full of lies, smethng qe bigerians knw tht u said nd nw u wnt go deny it. Is it tht u guys hve no shame peoples father, uncles, and possibly grandfathers. Xpd me ths power tons is a no no. D 1 u hve u've nt uses of to better d lives of nigerians. Well I trust Saraki knea whts up

we don't care.

Buhari is not single handedly running the economy. The recommendations aren’t his on and surely the implementation will be delegated to the economic team.

Ignoring the request for sweeping powers for a minute, do you have problems with the recommendation of the economic team?

what's the problem with this APC and lie, u say something come 2mao they will deny it. nawa for them ooo.

I don't support any form of emergency power.. Whether for economy or security.. . Power corrupts and absolute power like in emergency corrupts absolutely.

If any impediment is noticed in the extant laws they should highlight forward same to the nass for amendment.

DropShot:

I used to think you're possessed with some common sense thinking.

Was it Buhari that stole all the money that should have been saved by the IB?

Was it Buhari that made crude oil to now sell for $40 as opposed to above $100 per barrel during the Ineffectual Buffoon's reign?

Was it Buhari that allowed corruption to eat so deep into our soul?

Was it Buhari that wasted our earnings such that IB started borrowing to pay salaries even when oil sold far above the benchmark?

Mister, Jonathan killed Nigerian economy. Take it or leave it. I don't have any apologies for saying it.

Dropshot, can you please move on and stop given flimsy excuses for your failed economic team, we did not vote APC to tell us that the previous administration damaged economy
but to work, anything short of this is not acceptable.

On paper their recommendations might seem viable. The problem is not in writing theoretic recommendations but in implementing it.

Even if you give a man all the tools he needs to work, can he get any job done with his hands tied behind his back?

Awesome, at least we've managed to reach a common ground.

So you had rather they don't bother implementing it or spend months dancing around the red tape even though we both agree their recommendations appears plausible

they should find a way to implement it without giving BUHARI more power than he needs.

Lobbying (Bribing) legislooters to expedite passage of laws ain't an option

Neither is empowering a dictator.

Its like taking food from a set of predators and handing it to another one.

The legislature is there for a reason, they have a huge part to play, so instead of cutting it off, why not work at sanitising it? Afterall, Buhari is the corruption cleanser, he should manifest his cleaning talents on the legislooters.

You are effectively asking to remain stagnant then?

Who suffers most from all of these inaction?

Case Closed

Buhari must turn into a despot

DropShot:

Kiddo, the president's term is four years.

No amount of wailing, teeth-gnashing, suicide attempt or real suicide and even bombing of pipelines will make him not spend the four years.

A popular saying goes that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Obasanjo had wanted third term so that he can consolidate on the gains made by his Government, it’s seemingly was a good plan, but again, it was a plan for perpetuation in power. (This is how Mugabe managed to stay so long in power, it was always with good intention and then every other change with be made gradually and those who do not agree, will be linked to Dasuki loot and silenced. And ALL Nigerian politicians have skeletons so this should be easy.)

What Buhari is essentially asking for is a SUSPENSION OF DEMOCRACY. Let’s even go through the lines and see what it really means.

• Abridge the procurement process to support stimulus spending on critical sectors of the economy; WHAT IT MEANS? The Govt decides who gets what contracts without question and pays them whatever amount with recourse to nothing or no one. There will be no standard excepts as the president sees fit.


• Make orders to favour local contractors/suppliers in contract awards; - WHAT IT MEANS? Same as above. To put it in perspective, think about the appointments he has made. He will replicate same here with who he chooses.

• Abridge the process of sale or lease of government assets to generate revenue; WHAT IT MEANS. This one speaks for itself, if baba decides that ANY Govt asset is a liability, he sells. You will have no input, no one will.

• Allow virement of budgetary allocation to projects that are urgent, without going back to the National Assembly. WHAT IT MEANS? This is the worst of them all!!! After the budget is approved, he can decide to channel the money where ever else. Say for instance, money approved for say Lagos Ibadan expressway, He can decide that it’s not important enough and channel it to building of grazing ranch for herdsmen. Nobody will have an input but him.


• Amend certain laws, such as the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Act, so that states that cannot access their cash trapped in the accounts of the commission because they cannot meet the counterpart funding, can do so; and – WHAT IT MEANS? Well, unless you live under a rock, you must have heard of Adamu Adamu and his tinkering wand. This will elevate that to an art form!! The coating about accessing fund is as strong a reason as ice is strong under the hot sun.

• To embark on radical reforms in visa issuance at Nigeria’s consular offices and on arrival in the country and to compel some agencies of government like the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), the National Agency for Foods Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and others to improve on their turn around operation time for the benefit of busines

nice analysis. I think , you need to read again.

Thank you.

That will be the end of Nigeria as we know it. As bad as it is already, imagine worse.
