A lot of people have been admitting electing Buhari was a mistake. So how do we ensure we don't make a mistake like this next time? Making a mistake like this is definitely costly because at this point our country should actually be speeding towards development and not remaining stagnant or moving backwards. There are already problems in the country that have been there since 30 to 50 years ago like erratic power supply, then you add the newer modern day challenges to it and problems keep accumulating. So wasting 4 to 8 years electing bad leaders at this point in time is just a big NO NO.

A lot of us thought Buhari was the ideal candidate because we were told he hated corruption and we needed someone like him to eliminate corruption or else the country's problems wouldn't be solved. They all ignored Buhari's glaring cluelessness and his tendency to prop up the north and subdue the south. Now here is the outcome, precious 4 years appears to have been wasted. If care is not taken a total of 8 years will be wasted. That is almost a decade and enough time for serious leaders to make a significant impact.

To avoid the mistake we made with Buhari I think we should strictly observe the following guidelines:

1. We should never give a second chance to any candidate who failed to prove himself in a previous position of authority. An example in this case is Atiku Abubakar. This man is actually another trap and it amazes me some Nairalanders are already falling for this second trap.

2. We should never give a chance to any candidate who displays even the slightest form of cluelessness. When Buhari said during his campaign interview that he was going to stablize the price of crude oil, that should have been enough for Nigerians to take a final decision about his unfitness but we overlooked it.

3. Any candidate we are supporting should be able to think and reason perfectly well 99% of the time. Making questionable statements should be a red flag. People like Fayose should be in this category and we should be wary of people like him.

4. We should beware of candidates who dish out promises anyhow that we believe might be hard to achieve at a stipulated time. It demonstrates desperation and unseriousness. Buhari said 1 dollar will equate 1 Naira when elected. Good morning ladies and gentlemen.

5. Any candidate we are rooting for should have a sound health. Nigerians don't need anymore sick president wasting days in a sick bed receiving treatments. There is just no time for such vacuum and pause in leadership cos the nation is sinking deeper. The engine must have at least 90% uptime.

6. An ideal candidate should have a sound knowledge of economics. This is obviously the most important factor to decide whether a leader would make us cry or laugh. The quality of life of citizens so much depends on the health of the economy. This is always a key subject in every national election worldwide. When Buhari presented nepa bill as school certificate we just didn't see the writing on the wall.

7. We should not rely on just a single perceived strength of a candidate. It means if the particular reason for voting for the candidate is not there anymore he/she would simply be a bag of trash. An ideal candidate should have the potential to do well in multiple areas of leadership. Like I stated previously, a lot of us voted for Buhari ONLY because we felt he would tackle corruption. That was just his only selling point. But today curruption hasn't been tackled one bit. Whatelse is left as Buhari's selling point? Even if he can't tackle curruption anymore at least he should do well in some other areas.

8. Any chosen candidate must be neutral and fair when dealing with every region of the country. Buhari's administration's failure in this criteria is what scaled up IPOB to what it is today. We may not be lucky next time as the next uprising from any region as a result of marginalisation might generate a greater magnitude of chaos.

These are the few guidelines I can think of. If you have more to share you may add yours.

Igbos will just gather themselves, discuss among themselves, then conclude their self delusion is binding on Nigerians. When has the opinion of Igbos become the opinion of Nigerians? Who among the good Nigerians that voted Buhari ever told you he made mistake. IPOB didn't vote Buhari, I don't know where "there mistake in voting him" is coming from. If not that the man is facing some health challenges which will stop him from contesting, Igbos would have known that all these blackmails and empty propaganda are just trash. Nigerians know where the problems come from.

Don't be a cretinous dork. Make reasonable comments devoid of IPOB. Not everyone who disagrees with the administration of PMB is IPOB but I'm positive you've read it multiple times.

OP, I'm sorry to say but we'll keep electing idiots into power. Why didn't Nigerians vote for other candidates outside GEJ and PMB knowing both their antecedents?

One of the most stupid worthless thread on nairaland Sai baba, the lion of Nigeria

I'm sure this op support GEJ inspite of how clueless that administration was

Sharrap and gerrout. A cretin calling others cretins, typical of Igbos. The same Nigerians that voted Buhari will repeat it if same opportunity presents itself.

By ensuring u don't vote for any HausaFulaniKanuris-Muslims of the North. They deceitfully swear with the Constitution before entering office but once they enter the game changes. They will then bring out the QURAN from their back pocket and start administration based on Sharia. Then it's too late.

Don't ever believe them during campaign. They collect power to advance Islam and perpetrate injustices to non northern Muslims and Christians in the land.

Go and say that to the moon. Oh, I forgot to say this,
I and my friends also voted Nnamdi Kanu for president in 2015 election, but I have realised I did the wrong thing because kanu and his fellow IPOB terrorists are bunch of brainless pigs.
Igbos can lie for Africa. The way all Igbos now claim to have voted Buhari, I wonder how their total votes now constitute mere 5%.

What baffles me is that nigerians think that buhari will conduct free and fair election like gej. Keep dreaming. Apc will rig all the elections in 2019.

@python1,

Na only you go defend Buhari?

The way you jump at every post. Haba!

Buhari has disappointed you. Say the truth.

Then let's look at how to make amend including voting him again. All options are open at this time.

Even Buhari sef has not said he would recontest. So the discuss is hypothetical but I like the reasons adduced and attributes listed.

Lies, blackmail and propaganda will not change anything. The same group who voted Buhari into power are more than willing to repeat it if same opportunity ever present itself. We know who grounded the country, lies and empty propaganda will not change that fact.

I for one am eagerly waiting to vote Buhari for another 4 year tenure come 2019, and as for the 5% i can only sympathize with the pains it will cause them.


Sai Buhari for 2019
