| How Buhari Shot Himself . . . by 989900: 8:39am On Feb 07, 2019 |
Despite progress and milestones achieved by the Buhari administration: implementation of useful programs i.e. BVN, IPPIS, TSA (of course initiated by the GEJ administration to check malfeasance across board; not implemented), etc., continuing the Agric drive, taking us out of an avoidable recession foisted on us by the past administration, completing/continuing projects abandoned by past administrations, social programs (some I don't really agree with), doing more than previous administrations in terms of infrastructure, Foreign reserves, FIRS, JAMB, etc. . . . despite all those, there's a huge feeling of resentment and lack in the land. While the President has done very poorly with some of his utterances and his handling of the Fulani herdsmen issue (which is a huge shame), I would be dwelling more on where his shortcomings continuously hurt our pockets: 1. Exchange rates The current exchange rates ultimately affects prices of commodities, from petroleum products to how much we pay to subsidize it, to house rents, food stuffs, transport, etc. The current rate could be better with the reserves we have and if some aspects of it were not marred in shadowy dealings (corruption). Let's assume favourable exchange rates being what they are: not something you could directly doctor or make happen by fiat. And it is basically off the essence of this piece to go into details of the intricacies of that here. How about number 2? 2. Salary non-increment. If you can't help the exchange rates, how about increasing the wages of your workers since you do relatively earn considerably well above and beyond with the exchange rate in your favour (we're talking crude oil receipts in dollars)? But you do expect your workers to continue battling everyday living expenses with the same meager wage they did when a dollar was N160 while you earn fat into government pockets at N305? This is where PMB failed, he should have had this wrapped up since mid last year, the constitution supports him, the people would appreciate it (folks earning N18,000 would cope better with N27,000/N30,000, same for folks presently earning N90,000 who would now be earning say N140,000). More sales for businesses too. It will translate to higher tax income for the rejuvenated FIRS too. If he had gotten this 2 aspects right, the populace's plight would have been highly reduced, and thus, less acrimony against him. All the good works he's tried to do with his limited health, old age, and education have been very wonderful, but a hungry man is an angry man. P.S. Considering PMB's background growing up, education, his old age and health, he is actually punching way above his weight, few can do as much as he has done and continues to do if we had same pedigree and Achilles. I wrote an article: PMB Vs Atiku Pros and Cons. https://www.nairaland.com/5002332/buhari-vs-atiku-pros-cons This is where we find ourselves as a country, sponsored by no other than OBJ, he rigged in Shagari in-lieu of a sage like Awolowo, Shagari's failures and inadequacies brought back the military on us: Buhari, IBB, Abacha (if only he had done the needful with OBJ) and the whole works: retrogress. Same over-bearing old man brought upon us Yar'Adua (why didn't he support his deputy Aticou then if he so much believed in him . . . that was easier), even though he knew he was battling serious health issues, but he thought he had a stooge in Jonathan from whence he can still rule by proxy -- he chose a docile Jonathan over a vibrant Donald Duke. Jonathan's ineptitude and cluelessness brought upon us the old cargo: Buhari (Buhari can't be Landlords & tenants association chairman in my hood, but I'll still choose him ahead of a character like Atiku). OBJ is backing Atiku now, why? The answer is obvious. And if we make the mistake, we will pay for it dearly. We are a sorry nation, it goes no further than seeing agile and intellectual heavyweights like Osinbajo and Obi being deputies to soon to be octogenarians with lesser general qualifications. I'm out. 1 Like |
