Readers are leaders. Now we know why we are where we are today.

U don't blame him. Reading the book was an express way to sleep. How can one read what he don't understand? Hian!

Not surprised. He only presented NEPA certificate to HI-NECK in 2015

How can you expect a NEPA certificate holder to read a book on economic matters that deals with diplomats from west Germany

He only understands the book of cows

How do you expect a man with an IQ of 15 to have an appetite for knowledge , a man who rode of on the back of a Nepa bill he can't even translate yet you want him to read more than two pages of a book of economics , both Buhari , Mr Jinadu and the Nepa bill Buhari used are all mad I swear

During the last year's budget presentation, how many pages did he read?

LMAO.

well, I wrote this titled: We Will Not Vote For You Unless You Do These 11 Things: Presidential Aspirants
https://www.nairaland.com/4287028/not-vote-unless-these-11

check item seven on the list

For every presidential aspirant, here is our requirement checklist if you actually want us to cast our votes for you in the coming 2019 election.

We don't care about what political party you belong to anymore -whether old party or new party, popular or unpopular; we don't care about what religion anymore; we don't care about what tribe or region anymore but
You

1. Must attend not less than 3 presidential debates: how do we know you're mentally stable and not a slowpoke if you cannot give reasonable responses to simple debate questioning?

2. Must undergo medical qualification tests: both the psychiatricals and others. The result must be verified by a notable medical panel and must be made availale to the general public.
People do medical tests even for secondary school admission, so why not for presidency aspiration.

3. Must have a governing plan (just like a business plan or a master plan) and make it available to the general public through the all the social media channels.
Bank cannot commit their cash to people without a good business plan with clearly written goals and objectives, figures, strategies and a guarantor, so how much more should we commit the life, future and properties of more than 150millions Nigerians to you without a plan.
In the plan must also be indicated your personer track records of successes.

4. Must have more than secondary school education. (There's nothing new about this)

5. Must have at least one of your children educated in a public university in Nigeria (not private): by this we will surely know that you believe in the future of Nigeria and that you will work towards her betterment.
This is a price not too much to pay if you realy love us.
We are tired of insensitivity of government towards the development of standards of educational setup in Nigeria, the strikes and industrial actions.

6. Must be a patronage of Nigerian made products and services and you must believe in capacity building of Nigerian indigenous businesses to provide exportable products and services to neighbouring countries, Africa and the world at large.

7. Must be wide reader and self development enthusiast: If you don't constantly feed your mind with transformative, educative and informative ideas through books, you don't have a business doing with presidency in Nigeria.
We are tired of archaic approaches to human governing. We need mordern, liberated and future oriented leaders to lead us in Nigeria, not power mongers, who just want to be in government for power, fame and monetary gain.

8. Must be within the working age range (younger than 60 years): "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".
Towards old age, people become less and less physically, socially, mentally and psychologically fit to cope with occupational demands, not to talk of rulling a nation of more than150million citizens, so retirement is compulsory.
The retirement age in Nigeria civil service guided by decree No. 102 of 1979 that dealt with pension and gratuity pegged the statutory age of retirement for public officers at 60 years, while it is 65 years for judiciary officers and 70 for academic staff of universities. However with reform of civil service decree No. 43 of 1988, retirement age has been put at 60 years or 35 years in service.

9. Must have no public record of hate speech, tribalism, nepotism, crime against humanity, pending corruption charges or history, and or affiliation with any millitant group or religion fundamentalist group or terrorist group :
We will never ever think again that people will change. Ascenssion to power only gives people the chance to express their true self.

10. Must have done something contributary to the development of your immediate environment: this is simple, is'nt it?

11. Must be well educated about the constitution of Nigeria. We are tired of reminding the government what to do and what's not to do. We are tired of reminding the government about what's in the costitution they swear to uphold. This is 21st century.
The INEC in collaoration with the National Assembly and the Judiciary Counsel of Nigeria should create an online platform where common citizen can get proper education about the Nigerian constitution. They should maku use of shot animated videos and other training material. Certificates should also be awarded.

My advice: What 2019 Presidential Aspirants Should Do If Older Than 60
https://www.nairaland.com/4288681/must-read-what-2019-presidential


This writeup is based on the premise that "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" - and invariably, what's good for the civil servants is good for the political aspirants.

I made a quick scan yesterday about the age of some of the people whose intention has been publicly declared to run as presidential candidate in the upcoming 2019 general election but was supprised that almost all of them have age older than 60, the civil service retirement age.

The retirement age was pegged at 60 not because of hatred for the civil servants by the government or the lawmakers but because of other factors which include their been psychologically, physiologically and mentally unfit to meet up with their daily work demands due to the the call of old age.

Any aspirant with age older than 60 will not get our votes, so we advise them now to drop their presidential ambitions. Their children and immediate family needs them more than ever before to enjoy their company and learn from their life exploits before they finally go to their graves.

We need young vibrant adults who are liberated, civil, has clean records and are already doing something good with their individual lives. We need smart, intelligent and presentable leaders who will be pragmatic to national issues, growth and development and not just political jobbers.

Now, get me right this once and for all that this writeup is not a campaign strategy for any aspirant whose age is below 60 because we will still disqualify him or her for our votes if he or she could not meet up with the remaining ten requirement standards for earning our votes.

https://www.nairaland.com/4287028/presidential-aspirants-not-vote-unless

If they have the love of the citizen at heart and not just for power, fame and financial gain sake, they should please respect the choice of the people and accept their unfitness to becoming a president in Nigeria. They should respect themselves.

This is where the respect is, they should find, adopt or raise a younger candidate to support and mentor. They should then present them to us and see if we will not vote for them so far they fulfill our 11 requirements.

Lastly, let me challenge the young adults. What are your fears? What are your excuses?

You don't have any excuse for not running for the presidential race in the upcoming 2019 general election. If you think you lack capital, maybe you are wrong, things are becoming fast changing, you don't need to much of capital to run presidential campaign.

You don't lack capital, you only lack been resourceful. Many business mogul are ready to sponsor you if you ask them to, Nigerian youths are ready to raise capital, your political group will do something and what about internet crowd funding options?

If your hands are clean and you're qualified with our 11 point requirement for presidential aspirant, nomatter what the party you are, we the Nigerian youths will support you and vote en masse to ensure you become our president.

The youth make up the largest part of the Nigerian population and are mostly on the social media where you can reach them. The social media is the cheapest way to run a presidential camapign, remember the last general election.

Wake up! Wake Up from your slumber! Nigerian youth, please wakeup! Don't say you will not participate in politics. All governmental policies are directly affecting everything you do even in the corner of your room so why not put your destiny into the right hands?

Yes oooo, ure absolutely right

They will soon add that to his CV (achievements).

They will soon tell us he is the only president who can't read two pages in a book.

Who doesn't know that Dumbohari is a lazy-brained olodo itiboribo.

A second republic lawmaker, Junaid Mohammed, has slammed President Muhammadu Buhari for his 'dangerous attribute' of not reading.

The former lawmaker, who was Buhari’s ally, has recalled an experience he observed where the president was unable to finish two pages of a book he recommended to him in 2015.

He said he recommended the book to the president because it had to do with economic matters.

But that the president took the book, wrote GMB (short for General Muhammadu Buhari) “and that was all”.

“I suggested the idea of a think tank to Buhari and he agreed and he put together a think tank with quite a number of formidable brains and started meeting in 2015 until I stopped coming,” he said in an interview with Vanguard.

“I suggested a number of books for all of us to read and those books were procured.

“One of the books I recommended to Buhari personally, because it has to do with economic matters especially in dealing with the World Bank and the IMF group, was a book written by a Nobel prize laureate in economics, Joseph Stiglitz.

“Buhari took the book and opened it, just wrote GMB on it and that was all. Over a year later when I came I found that Buhari had not read two pages out of that book.”

Mohammed described this as a “very dangerous leadership position”

So because he recommended a book to PMB and PMB did not read it,that means he has poor reading habit.
What gives him the confidence that any thing he recommends to the President must be taken.
This guy no get talk abeg .

How do you expect an illiterate with zero certificate to read? Someone who doesn't even know when he was born.

Ok.

What is wrong with this Junaid man sef?
You gave Buhari an economics book to read? Were you not in Nigeria when Garba Shehu told the world that Buhari enjoys cartoon?

This is like giving a goat meat to chew.

Junaid, you just wasted a nice piece of work by Joseph stiglitz on a dull brain that can't even write his name properly.... sometimes I wonder how we ended up here...

Posterity will never forgive Tinubu/APC for selling us a dummy.

Says who? Buba and Okon went to the same school

Exposed!!!

Buhari is a certified dullard



Buhari leading Nigeria is an insult to our common sensibility

Insult

I will never recognize Buhari as my president.



He is only fit to be president of cows

Get him audio books joor. I simply hope his htc phone can handle audio book. Better still, let that his fine daughter help him to read and explain to him. She should stop posting her pics online and help the father who had her in his old age please. Yes, our fathers in those days sent their kids to school...and part of their benefits was for such kids to write or read letters for them.
