nwabekeyi:
that was what I asked before someone pounced on me.

You need to dredge before you do urban drainage for the city of Aba. I am disappointed in most young people nowadays. Apart from cheering corrupt politicians they seem to be bereft of knowledge and ideas.

Dollyak:
I kind of agree with you. Seriously, the more you look at it the more you see how hopeless the situation is. Nigeria is simply too big and diverse for her own good. Available evidence have shown, that this marriage of unequal partners and perhaps force integration was to facilitate British administrative purposes. We have all seen the aftermath of this colonial error which was promoted after independence by our own ingenious compradoes. Our very security apparatus in the country have been compromised or failed depicting a clear case of a fail-state. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I doubt any of our forefathers would've agreed to this relationship if they knew Nigeria would turn out like this.
I truly feel sorry for buhari. His hands are tied

Nigerians have seen it all.

Please take your minority and unrealistic opinion and you know what to do with it . Every tribalistic misfit now finds it easy to write nonsense about Nigeria while cowardly ignoring the major problem which is corruption. Very odious trash couched in interlectual verbiage.
The world has no time for Biafra or the mad Boko Haram caliphate or any delusion from every young who finds it difficult to "get it up".
If you actually succeed at Biafra or Arewa or Oduduwa Republic no your problem has just started. Second slavery of the black man has started.

bobbiekrantz:
What did we do to deserve this confused and useless government??



This Misguided fellow should get his Ass on a place and get to work!!!

Sorry for this new government. I see it is killing you. I think prayers may help.

Not appointing ministers is working. Half of Jonathan 's ministers were treasury looters and foreign exchange depleters.

What exactly did they reap and sow?.

barcanista:
The government acted based on National interest. Was any law broken? No....because ECA in the first place is alien to our laws. If money was $4.1billion and FG removed $2billion to offset subsidy claims, what the States need to do is to demand that the $2billion be removed from the FG's overall share of the $4billion. This isn't a matter between states and officers of government. Haba

You are getting them into more trouble saying this. The withdrawal was without consulting the states and it was extra budgetary. Why don't people have a sense of ownership in their country . Iweala is not right to do this on instructions from Goodluck. They have just proven Oshiomole right

Tydies:
Leave this woman alone for crying out loud..

Because she is Ibo. Tribalism has killed this country. No wonder Dr Clueless is still twitting sweet stuff like some Nigerian Mandela. So by the level of your reasoning now Buhari and clique should just chop their own and run.
From now on I think Europe should stop taking immigrants from Africa . If they cannot fight their corrupt leaders they should stay where they are.

Ole. Thief. Barawo. You withdrew money to pay PDP members.

PDP is sounding like a jilted lover hoping the new marriage does not work.

MosakuAW:
Don't ask us how we are getting along

'Cause there's really nothing new

Everything's about the same since you've gone

All we are missing is you.

I am not missing Jonathan. Please don't add me to the admirers of the most inferior leader any people have had
Please let us get that straight.

FowlYansh:
Ok

GEJ's achievement.

I regret voting for APC

This is an insult to GEJ. ThE numbers involved are ridiculous. Benin Republic alone would import more than this if they had our problem. Please compare with Kenya or Uganda' s procurement before talking about what you don't know. I believe they chopped more than half the money. The Ukrainian government did not sell it. It was a private company

gimakon:
How stupid these fellows who criticise Jonathan are, in 2 months he has failed everything, you still chant praises for 4 years? Nigeria would be sought for using magnifying glass!
I would say one thing. Buhari has failed. He has failed accept it. Bomb going up in how many states just one week. It's the injustice you bring in that's paying us today. The same military tactics a civilian brought a former major general cannot bring. Yet hungry people, u come here and say buhari is alpha and omega.

Failure, APC!!! Failure!!!! By the way, where yoruba voltron and oracle, shay mumu people no fit talk? Abi talk day hard them? Lol APC has failed. Change!!! From bad to worst. Next time vote wisely. Na genesis be this.

Sit down and read what you posted. There's a frenzy in the tone that smacks of depression and delayed shock that your man is out of office and won't come back ever. If in less than two months you expect miracles in a democracy in the context of what PDP and the hapless Jonathan destroyed over sixteen years of a single party rule then we are not surprised it's coming from a PDP supporter.

Many are mad, few are raving.

solarview:
Nigeria keeps sucking the Niger Delta resources to feed her Ungrateful Northern elements

We gave you the respect back and allowed your son to be president and gave him votes in 2011. Unluckily it was the most clueless of all that we gave all to.

PDP young supporters have come again. Lack of education or poor quality education. The words "empty treasury has been taken literally by the dummies who clapped when GEJ murdered English all called stealing corruption. Empty treasury a few months ago in a country stll making $30 million a day means what it means to normal intelligent people.

kamez:
when I hear all the complaints about Buhari from Nigerians I just laugh.
and I thank God that I didn't vote for him..

you guys elected a WAEC attempted clueless dullard to rule this nation. a dullard that got F9 in mathematics for that matter


NIgerians would regret voting for Buhari just mark my words.

the main Nollywood movie never start, all this one na still advert.

You must be a teenager posting trash. Buhari will change Nigeria starting in just a few days and you will see it yourself . You think Nigerians don't realize that it is JoNathan mess we are clearing.yoursrlf even ask the Jonathan to make an intelligent comment about the problem on ground today and he won't even be able to string two sentences together. The most clueless politician in Nigeria. He would probably tell you to ask Iweala why we imported fuel when we had refineries, why ships are dropping palm oil imported into nigeria and why she approved import licences for rice in the last four months. Jonathan and his government probably wasted $15bn on elections and settlement and last minute stealing. Buhari will start releasing the details piecemeal soon and everyone will see.

Mogidi:
What took him this long to come to a decision?

It will surely affect Naira value and inflation. Some states might have to go. Only somebody who does not know anything about managing institutions would ask why it took so long in just the third week. Let us have more intelligent contributions on nairaland.

lilprinze:
You don't value what you have until you lose it.

When you lose a bad thing it is just a relief.

400billionman:
Buhari did not know the magnitude of what he was going to face.

At least you mentioned 4 sectors where GEJ had already taken charge. Even in security ( BH war ), he took charge in March and April before the elections that saw him out.

GEJ was a silent achiever. In corruption, his moves were not visible. Not the typical OBJ EFCC witch hunt style. The type he wanted packaging for Kashamu. Where is Kashamu now ? Still at home. It amounted to playing to the gallery. Fighting corruption transcends making news headlines with EFCC and NDLEA. It was GEJ government that eradicated Ghost worker syndrome totally from federal civil service.

I don't see a drop in popularity for Buhari. When you say Buhari did not know what he was getting himself into you are admitting that Jonathan really destroyed the country. A clique of politicians including elements in PDP and APC want to stampede the President into rushing into ministerial appointments with their people already positioned to take the positions and start the old corruption game. I believe Buhari is ready to run for six months with permanent secretaries so that the bottom will drop out from all the mafia s in Abuja waiting to start sucking the country again.

carnegiefan:
There is nothing, repeat NOTHING like "Igbo and Yoruba" anything in Nigerian politics.

Yes Igbo are aggrieved concerning the emergence (in the first place) of a fossil named Buhari to lead Nigeria in this century.
The Yoruba ALWAYS wanted to vote for Buhari, and they did. They should go and face Buhari.
We Ndigbo want out of Nigeria. We are tired of the cat and mouse nonsense.

Yes. The Yorubas are happy with Buhari and positive change. Some misguided Ibo youths want to go back to the past of a failed project called Biafra and nobody is stopping them except their elders. It is really very very simple.
Let them agree and go there own way. We are going to see whether , it is not the same fundamental principles that Yorubas are standing for that will make Biafra stand; discipline, lack of corruption, hard work, respect for everyone, clue-fullness by leaders.
If Cameroon, Equitorial Guinea or Chad does not roll up that so called Biafra in two years we can always pay a visit in 2018 to find out if they have grown without these fundamental principles or not.

prospero5:
the president expressed concern over how Nigerians criticise him and his government using the social media
You were very unfortunate that it was in your time that social media was very active. Nigerians whose generation to generation can never produce someone like you took the opportunity to insult you. I love you, sir.

Everyday the past fifty something years Nigeria has produced hundreds of babies far far better than Good luck Jonathan. If Good luck is your hero, you are a living insult to yourself and God will deliver you.

brightnelly:
This man's confusion and cluelessness is increasing rapidly! I weep for for my dear nation

Who instructed you to write this trash?. What is clueless about Nigerian Army and airforce being disgracefully I'll equipped after so much billions have been spent?. Do you know Dumbo was going to buy second hand jets at quadruple the price for the airforce and jets we have not seen the money we have not seen?. If you are not capable of rational, objective thought there was no need for you to post anything in response to such an important matter.

OP, You are entitled to deceive yourself and we will take it as a consolation for your candidate losing the elections. However you know the truth in your inner mind. Buhari will start unveiling stuff in a matter of days and you will see it yourself. He is already building the foundations with permanent secretaries in the ministries before appointing ministers some of whom may be politicians of doubtful integrity so things have to be put in place before appointments. We feel your pain and God will help you bear it. Another thing that will hurt you is the stolen money recovery. What you will hear about your heroes will not be unpalatable what will happen to them will also not be palatable but it must happen so that a new generation of politicians will know what to be afraid of.

There is ABSOLUTELY nothing with this mistake . It is not even a slip. He summarized a meeting he held with the G7 clearly and accurately. He was a little too excited to show the support he got from the leaders thst he called Germany its old pre unification name. That can be permitted as a slip. The coherence of the speech more thsn makes up for it . A lot of world leaders make this mistakes almost on a daily basis.

Nigeria is now an international embarrassment.

Jimi Lawal is a problem. Half of Nairalanders are half educated, un exposed, ignorant twenty-somethings so obviously every body missed the big problem with Jimi Lawal.

crudemoney:
he wants to claim humility abi.



Daura President!!

Please watch it. I am just saying o.

Children, Dangote has not promised to supply power to Lagos. If he did we should be all worried. The man is merely bringing in gas from Bonny for his fertilizer plants. The project scale would be enough to also fuel gas turbines for power generation. That is all i can infer from this statement. You guys should put pressure on your government to get organized and fulfill their promises to you. In other to do that, you need to cure yourselves of weak minded, mumu , tribalistic feelings and make people to account for why you put them in office. Business men are only in the business of making money

luvinhubby:
wow!
Nigeria is in a deep something!
A VP that cannot be trusted by his principal with vital information because he is concerned about his loyalty & competence speaks volumes about the marriage of strange bedfellows ruling Nigeria.

My sincere prayer is that APC will not plunge Nigeria into the anarchy that GEJ averted for us IJN.

I have rated this post on a BS scale. It ranks 8 out of 10.

Mogidi:
I totally agree with you, Fayose's the new Awolowo.

Either too young or just plain uneducated, most definitely from the East. You dont say !d!*tic things like this on a public forum. If you compare the recently incumbent governor of Abia state (orji) to Zik then you are not even coming close to the ridiculousness of what you have posted here. Awo was a practical intellectual thinking in decades, Fayose ia an idiotic area boy doling cash. You need to stop saying things that expose your generation as thrash. You could even compare Goodluck to Zik then. Please get an education, improve your mind. Spare parts selling is not the most important thing in life.

Aboki4inside:
We will see d real change o when Buhari wins... RUBBISH... The problem with many Nigerians is that we fantasize a lot, we want something instantly when development is gradual, we want change which has already begun with GEJ. please if you hate him, cant you please allow him finish what he has started? Can't we use our brains? Buhari ruled what did he do? We want CHIBOK GALS, 24/7 power supply abi? it just like a mechanic saying if he touches a car whose engine has knockdown, it would start.. Is it not a gradual process?? GOD HAVE MERCY>>

You dont understand anything. Jonathan was always unfit for leadership and he displayed it fully..."i dont know where Chibok girls are..." is one of the most idiotic responses of a modern president. This guy was promoted above his abilities through accidentall death of an incumbent and he messed up. Admit it. If you a young nan makes a serious mstake at work that costs the business a lot they will probably sack you so why must we indulge a 57 year old man?.

makzeze:
Yes!

This is the smart set. Notice the sharpness in the two individuals unlike the "down syndrome " president staring like a mumu and saying crass things like.."i don't kniw where the Chibok giris are, you are a journalist you know everything ." That statement will define his mediocre presidency.
