People are always quick to judge. Look at the positive side there is no fuel scarcity and prices has pretty much stabilized. Although the Nairaland dollar rate is still not favorable but at least it is stable now.

Na for himself na

i dnt understand pls

Where are the Noise makers? One thing about Buhari is this, he will never tanish or allow his reputation to be rubbished by anyone. So appointing anyone as the head of NNPC who has the highest corruption case after custom and NPA will surely make him look before he leaps on any decision of his.

Baru we know, Buhari we know. Noise makers? To hell with them.

Bad news to average naija person
