Buhari remains the president whether Wailers like it or not.

Insulting his person and raising unnecessary dust won't change the Change he is offering us.

Award winning author, Okechukwu Ofili has picked some holes in President Muhammadu Buhari’s statement about his delay in appointing ministers to the Federal Executive Council.

President Buhari had revealed to Nigerians in a Washington Post article that he would not appoint ministers until September and likened his decision to that of President Obama during his first term.

He said, “When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office”.

Ofili who lives by the slogan, “Addicted to Truth, Allergic to Bullshit” took to his Facebook page to set the record straight.

He posted:

- President Barack Obama Inaugurated January 20, 2009
- Hillary Rodham Clinton assumed the office of Secretary of State on January 21, 2009
- On January 26, 2009, the U.S. Senate confirmed Geithner’s appointment as Secretary of the Treasury
- On December 1, 2008, President-elect Obama announced that Robert Gates would remain in his position as Secretary of Defense during his administration
- On December 1, 2008, Obama announced that Eric Holder would be his nominee for Attorney General. Holder was formally nominated on January 20, 2009
- Ken Salazar assumed the office of Secretary of the Interior on January 21, 2009 after a unanimous voice vote on the floor of the full Senate
- Tom Vilsack assumed the office of Secretary of Agriculture on January 21, 2009
- Hilda Solis assumed office as Secretary of Labor on February 24, 2009
- Shaun Donovan was confirmed as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development on January 27, 2009.
- Arne Duncan was confirmed as Secretary of Education on January 21, 2009.
- Eric Shinseki assumed the office of Secretary of Veterans Affairs on January 20, 2009
- Janet Napolitano assumed the office of Secretary of Homeland Security on January 21, 2009.
- Steven Chu was unanimously confirmed as Secretary of Defense by the U.S. Senate on January 20, 2009.
- Former Republican Congressman Ray LaHood was confirmed as Secretary of Transportation on January 23, 2009

FACT: Obama appointed/confirmed 13 of 15 of his cabinet members with a week … yes that is within 7 days of his inauguration. And 1 of those 13 was even confirmed technically in December 2008 before he was inaugurated!

The remaining … Gary Locke Secretary of Commerce (confirmed February 23 2009) and Kathleen Sebelius Secretary of Health and Human Resources (confirmed April 28, 2009) were nominated later than one week because the original choice or choices failed their nomination process.

But in Nigeria its been 2 months and not ONE single ministerial appointment and our National Assembly is in recess … and our President just went on International media to say he will not appoint ministers till September and uses Obama above as justification? Bullshit!

But I am not faulting politicians, politicians are politicians.

I am more disappointed with intellectuals and intelligent Nigerians reading this shit … that smell the shit, see the shit, know its shit but don’t say shit!

Those are the people I am disappointed with.

Lol. With oil prices virtually skyrocketting for long periods of the GEJ tenure. No lasting legacy of what we can call MOTORABLE roads. Whatshould we say of those that built the Lagos Ibadan expressway and all the expressways in the North? The third mainland bridge and other bridges of repute. The roads in the FCT and other major highways. GEJ government mainly repaired bad and neglected roads, and it's not like the repairs are to last for long, some don spoil again again. Yes, some few new roads, but nothing to pat anyone on the back for given the huge funds and opportunities available.

Lagos Deploys Additional 1,000 CCTV Cameras
21 Jan 2014

The Lagos State Government Monday disclosed that it would soon begin the installation of additional 1,000 Close Circuit Television (CCTV), which it said, would help beef up security and crime monitoring in the state.

With the latest development, the number of security cameras, which are in operation across the state would be 2,200, out of which the federal government earlier deployed 1,000 and the state government 1,200.

However, Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), disclosed the plans to install additional 1,000 CCTV at the public security system demonstration at the Lagos State Security Command and Control Centre, Alausa.

Not bad for a start! London has over 500, 000 security cameras and 10, 000 traffic lights.

Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Just imagine rubbish.
Useless religious leader and stupid daughter
Is he not a rev in a Catholic Church,pope need to suspend him.

Truckpusher:
Thank God you called it "African values" homosexuality wasn't borne out of any particular culture but humans themselves are the people insisting that this is how they feel about their sexual preference and orientation. If the above argument means anything to you then it is important to note that some of the people that have come out as homosexuals aren't even in contact with any other culture throughout their stay on planet earth so how come they still feel this way?
I do not like the fact that two men or women will indulge themselves sexually however for the sake of freedom of expression which is the bedrock of every democracy we must learn how to accommodate everybody unless what they are doing is simply criminal which is to the detriment of the health and property of the society where they exist.
We have no business with what two consenting adults are doing behind closed doors.
We no dey quarrel but you no dey try at all.

Truckpusher:
What makes him useless ?

The freedom of self expression should be upheld irrespective of cultural differences and if we in our overzealous nature towards the things of God and basing our moral standing on high moral value then I think it is important to allow the same God to fight for himself but if we insist on hanging homosexuals we should as well hang adulterers and fornicators after all they are all immoral sexual sins.
Freedom comes with a lot of price my friend.

Of course Buhari is head and shoulders above him nah. At least, Jona conceded defeat when he was beaten. That one sef na good thing nah.

Gbawe:
You think I speak for narrow-minded people like you? How many Nigerian deaths did Jonathan cause directly or indirectly? Far too many is the answer. If you appreciate life and you know you cannot restore it once lost then you will never support a man who caused the death of so many Nigerians cynically.

I am not interested in thinking like the sycophants or ignoramuses, oblivious of the local crimes/misrule of GEJ, who gave this asinine award. Look at ambitious and sucessful nations like the UK, USA, Germany , France et al. You cannot even kill one of their citizens or armed force personnel without serious repercussion. Yet GEJ watched many Nigerians die like chickens and even abetted the death of many soldiers with the corruption Dasuki is now telling us 'oga at the top' sanctioned. We even all see now how the Nigerian army is a far more serious and focused unit under Buhari than was ever the case under GEJ who ensured virtually every kobo meant to empower our army was looted. Instead the army turned election riggers and private intimidation force for the PDP. You people are simply incredible and I think it is not ungracious that many intelligent folks say Nigerians deserve the nation/leaders they have.

Gbawe:
I don't agree with this at all. A "good man" will never be part of what GEJ allowed knowing such would could misery to millions. GEJ is not a good man and we should move away from the Nigerian penchant of promoting everyone who is not loud, ambitious and assured as "good", "meek", "humble" or "a gentleman misled by bad advisers".

In the most successful and ambitious nations in the world, you will never ever be proclaimed a "good man" if you are a leader who supervised the unconscionable looting of the people's wealth and even assisted the efforts of those who want to slaughter those you swore to protect even at the risk of your own life. Remember how GEJ cowered in cowardice while Nigerians were bein slaughtered whereas many leaders take risk to visit their soldiers on the frontline to boost moral and show they appreciate them. APC governors and leaders had to audaciously walk the streets of a terrorised Northern State before GEJ decided he had to act and deploy cynical propaganda so as not to lose political goodwill. That, for me, was very cynical and callous. An indicator of the unconscionable mind of a man only interested in remaining in office while not fundamentally bothered about the Nigerians dying under his watch and due to his actions/inactions. Man mi, you are on point virtually all the time but calling GEJ a "good man" is simply incorrect. He is not and will never be a good man.
