Be careful what you say to the press. They will pick the absolute worst thing from all your speech and use it as headline. The content of the post doesnt matter to a black person because (time no dey) It's only the topic that they'll use to criticize you.

President Muhammadu Buhari has said his major weakness lies in not knowing how to make money.

He also disclosed that he even borrowed money to build his three houses in Daura, Abuja and Kaduna.

The President made this known while speaking on his assets during an Interview with Sun Newspaper.

According to him, “When Murtala/Obasanjo regime came, they made sure that certain grades of public officers must declare their assets when they assumed that office and they must declare when they were leaving. So, when I was sworn in as governor of North East, I declared my assets.

“I declared surprisingly, even the number of my cows then. Even if they were supposed to be producing every year, but I declared them the time I was there. And when I was leaving governorship, I became petroleum minister.

“When I was leaving to go to War College, I declared my assets. I could recall General Jemibewon then, was the Adjutant-General of the Army. He rang me and said he was sending me asset declaration form, that I must fill it, sign it before I left for the United States. And I did.

“General Jemibewon is still alive. And when I became head of state eventually, I declared my assets again.

“So, if you people are serious and interested about political officers becoming multi-billionaires, you can find out from Murtala downwards. And those of us who were not very good in making money you should pity us.

“Everybody likes money but I am not very good at making money. Let me put it that way. I borrowed from the banks to build the house in Daura and the one in Abuja that you mentioned and the one in Kano. The bank then was Barclays, now Union Bank. Kaduna State or North Central then housing scheme and the Federal Mortgage Bank for the house I am in and AIB, which was, I think, terminated by Central Bank. So, when you go through the records, you find out that the houses I built, I borrowed from there.”

It's only in Nigeria a president is allowed to continue ruling after admitting that he lacks the ability to make money.

Nigerians deserve the type of leaders they get, the one who will rip us off in the name of i ma good at business.

We love civil servants on 100K salary but pays 1 million naira in rent, purchases 10 cars of 10 million naira each in 2 years; sends his children to school abroad and is completing a 200 million mansion in Abuja and another in his village al while in service.
We then come out to complain how the government is not developing the country because of corruption.

We are the first to abuse civil servants who pass through the system without gaming it and ending up wealthy beyond any limit of honest earning. Thats why we see such people like Atiku as legends who disclosed he started his Intels company while in service against the extant rules, and want to reward him with presidency while the types of Buhari or Gen. Isola Williams are seen as fools who didn't take their opportunity to steal their own share.

Integrity, ethics, values, norms means nothing to us as we only believe in the gospel of the belly and consumption

The Pastors too understand our low self-esteem and poor mentality and are shagging donors in church without mercy, you see broke guys who can't hold down a job or failed in business open a church and become super businessmen while the poor contributors of wealth applaud

We are talking about two different perspective here.. if you cant make money, how then do you create income generating policies..

You need to think outside the box to generate income, same wat you need to think outside the box to lead a nation.

Unbelievable!

So it is the duty of a good parent to leave an inheritance for their children even if it means stealing from the government right?

Unbelievable!

And y'all will be shouting you don't want corruption while your heart, brain and mind are all corrupted. How could you displayed a corrupted line of thought in respect of a public servant who have served the country diligently and honestly, a man who has refused to join the bandwagon of thieves robbing y'all your future.

Did you that Bill Clinton left the White House with millions in debt even though he was a lawyer, a governor and President of the biggest economy in the world? He only started making money after he left the White House and started charging for Speeches.

True and patriotic public servants don't become richer after serving the country. They only become more and highly connected. If you're so inclined to amassing wealth then you milk your connection, but if you're more concerned about peaceful, moral and spartan living like Buhari, then you don't milk the connections you made.

FYI, any public servant who went into elective offices and came out far richer than they went in is a big thief. QED.


We all saw Joe Biden the vice-president under Obama for 8 years depart for home from Washington DC in train with his family.
In Nigeria they will call him a failure, who could not afford a common private jet, or at least a car to take him home. They will say he doesn't know how to make money. We care less if his normal income cannot buy the jet, afterall he is suppose to help himself to government funds.

What has turned us to be so materialistic that our perspective is so shallow? It may be a fallout of the wide spread poverty in the land and failed moral agents like religious institutions who mostly came to worsen the materialism

Proper leadership is not limited to setting up money making ventures. We need to divorce our thinking from that. There is nothing inherently wrong in being good at making money. If we continue in that line we will keep choosing leaders for the wrong reasons.

But character is of utmost importance, and the money must be seen to have been made in honest industry, not tainted with government patronage or abuse of office.

Great... your ability to seek for lucrative ventures to take you off your current predicament or level is what makes you progress... you cant sit on a spot and expect progress.. you dont neccessarily need to dip hands in public funds to acclaim wealth. But you need to think it first. The president saying he does not know how to make money is him already accepting he cant think it.

This is a statement that should never be said of a leader.
It explains why we are where we are. Sadly, this was how the campaign was all along. I recall boasts that Buhari has no registered companies in his name and the only BUSINESS he has is his cows. First obvious red flag. After all these years and connect with people exposed like OBJ, u never fill form C7 and memat before? It also means he never contributed to our tax pool. His cattle were living on our land and he was making profit and no statement of accounts? He did not even venture into the processing industry and start making corned beef. Any one can raise cattle on a farm na. PMB really didn't learn to create value and has shown poor delegation and talent identification instincts.

smh ... it is finished.

It WAS finished longest time ago, as acknowledged by the packaging specialists- Ebola Owu and Asiwaju Asiwere of the All Poverty Congress, APC

citizenisb:
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

As a matter of fact, that's one of the qualities Nigerians sees in him.

Nigeria as a country doesn't necessarily need a politician who knows how to make or acquire personal fortune. What we need is a patriotic Nigeria who isn't motivated by personal aggrandizement and wealth accumulation.

In a country where public office is guarantee way to become rich, If someone who's held several public offices had to borrowed to build his houses then such person has lived an exemplary life.

Today in Nigeria, there's NO politician, I repeat, no politician that can boldly say the something President Buhari said.

It is no surprise that the world is admiring this rare of man, a rare gem in the public service, a man who can proudly and boldly said:

"I came into this world with nothing and I will leave with nothing, why should I steal?"

And why should anybody who is sensible, morally responsible, religiously upright and patriotic ever want to steal the commonwealth of close to 200 million people?

God bless President Buhari
ahhhh? Let me help u.. Everybody likes money (including him) but i dont knw how to make money.. He likes money but don't know how to make.. Since he likes but Dont knw how to het it..

If ability and records of creating wealth was all that was required to lead a complex society, Herbert Hoover a successful millionaire who became president wouldn't have led USA into the Great Depression. It took sets of decision by a man not known as a millionaire or to have founded huge companies FD Roosevelt to lead the USA out of the depression and to it's greatest height of all times.

I am not saying Buhari possess all the qualities Nigeria needs at this time like quick decision making ability, grand vision, but you cannot divorce integrity, honesty, character from the leadership mix. Other countries have been led by non-graduate, non-businessmen leaders who are huge in the department of vision and single purpose and have good results.
Jabs at 150 cows shows we still lack how to evaluate leadership. Going to pick those who gamed the system or broke rules of their establishment to make money is a recipe for further disasters

Let me enlighten you. He meant that he is not able to steal public funds.

He was just politely elucidating the difference in style and culture between him and his political opponents. If you believe public officers that go in poor and leave office rich all "made money" while in office and it was not linked to corruption, you are deluding yourself.
