Asking for help is different from inviting a foreign power to come and setup its military command in your country. Google about US Military commands Abroad, they can come and help Nigeria without setting up their Command here.

They should come and set up their command here.... their influence will be better than what we currently have on ground

The word "tribe" was given to Nigerians by the British and suggests primitiveness yet Nigerians have continued to adopt the word without question....how come Welsh, English, Scottish and Irish people that make up the UK don't refer to themselves as tribes?? These are bonafide tribes and they don't even call themselves ethnic groups...this is part of the psychological warfare being waged on Africans....

Secondly as a Northerner, I care not if igbos rule Nigeria for next 20 years if the igbo candidates were the best candidates.. Same for Yoruba.... ethnic divisions is what is destroying nigeria

saajus:
Yeah. The end could be tonight or 500 years' time. People thought the end has come during WW1 that claimed 20million lives. We are still here gidigba after 100yrs. People thought the end has come during the Smallpox epidemic that claimed millions in its first four years. COVID 19 is a child's play to Smallpox. We are still standing here. Honestly, if you are a student of history, nothing is happening now that we've not seen the worst in the past. In fact, it seems the world is even getting better now.

I am not disputing end time, just letting you know the reality. Christians should not be heavenly conscious and earthly useless cos rapture may not happen in 500 years' time. Let's still continue to have some long-term plans for ourselves, our family, and the nation. In fact, individual rapture, which is death can also happen anytime. That individual rapture is more concerning to me cos that one has been proven and it's 100% sure that we will all taste it.

You are a wise person.... during the early 90s it was rumoured that the world was about to end and many sold their properties.... those people must be very hungry now because Jesus still nova return

And if they pray to Him to return since then Him nova answer them lol

Point is ppl should stop fear mongering.

McTobe:
Chai see what a Sovereign State is telling another state. To bring its(US) Military base to his own country(Nigeria). Lack of strategic thinking, what will Pentagon high command think about Nigeria? I am so ashamed to be associated to this country...wait o does the National security adviser, Directorate of Military intelligence and the Defense intelligence Agency even advice this man at all?

It doesn't matter. If you need help you need help....no shame in asking for help....

jchioma:
How about asking for outright assistance to wipe out the Islamist terrorists?

Ego, the blackmans waterloo/downfall trait won't let them.

For insurgency to end FG need to announce to all civilians in the affected towns to leave.... then the joint operation with the US will wipe out the insurgents....

AlhajiBitcoin:
They have relegated intelligent and peaceful people from governance.

So I am not surprised.

Nigerians were searching for change.

Saraki is a medical doctor. GEJ is a PhD holder. Nigerians don't want such leaders..

Nigerians want action leaders, whether they are illiterate or touts, it is a NEW SHERIFF in town.

Stupid people.

They are already screaming BAT2023

WaffenSS:
And while all these are happening, the president does not deem it fit to address the nation so the families of the victims could know he felt their pain, and the rest of us would remember we at least have a president.

You are right!!

FreeIgbos:
Rantings of a deluded dingbat. Where did you see me encourage violence? Primitive blackman with the IQ of a gnat. Those encouraging violence are those that allow fulani herdsmen to be slaughtering people and raping women.

I have also dashed Hausa and Yoruba people as well as anybody in need money without seeing it as a big deal, so what's your point with that ignorant line?

The white man is PRIMITIVE compared to the great black race.....

Don't let colonial brainwashing and bbcs anti black campaigns get to you....

It seems u didn't understand my questions:

1. How has buhari done well in d area of food security?

2. How has he done a good in terms of rice, fruits and vegetables u say we shouldn't take for granted?

3. Why are d ministers of "electricity and fuel" not doing well? After 6years, why has it taken buhari that long to fire them?

4. When u say "fuel", I guess u mean petroleum. Are u aware that buhari is d minister of petroleum? If u say d minister in charge of fuel isn't doing well, are u invariably saying buhari isn't doing well and therefore deserves sack?

NB: in questions 1 & 2, I used d word "HOW". U haven't told me "HOW". I also don't d relevance of d information u provided in d second paragraph to d questions I asked u

For Q1 and 2, please refer to the Buhari Media Organization documents and videos on the agricultural achievements of the administration. It's too numerous to mention here.

3. I already admitted it's a lapse in the administration. Good citizens like you should join a non violent pressure group such as Enough is Enough to pressure the government to do the needful.

4. Buhari should resign due to inability to maintain territorial integrity e.g. boko Haram hoisting flag in Niger and not understanding that most Nigerians can't afford the high fuel prices I agree

I'm not arguing we just need to fix thus country so we don't hv to jappa to abroad.

DedeNkem:
Nigeria is led by incompetent idiots, criminals and murderers!

The followers also have the wrong mentality e.g. get rich quick and the wrong culture.

U are yet to answer my questions:

How has he done a good in terms of rice, fruits and vegetables u say we shouldn't take for granted?

When u say "fuel", I guess u mean petroleum. Are u aware that buhari is d minister of petroleum? If u say d minister in charge of fuel isn't doing well, are u invariably saying buhari isn't doing well and therefore deserves sack?

Before I comment further, please let me be clear that based on the failure of the government to maintain territorial integrity as well as reasonable secure life and property - the current president should resign. However, this must not mask the achievements of the administration in the areas of rice production, meat production etc. the day you will appreciate it is the day you will go to the market and be told no rice again or no meat.

However this good point of the administration has been nullified by the failure to end insurgency. All it would take to end the insurgency is to cooperate with South Africa, Kenya, UK or US - and carry out a joint operation - to quench the insurgency once and for all. Before the operation starts, all civilians would be asked to leave the area over a 3-6months period. This is common sense and the administration has failed to do this - and so is technically incompetent.

what caused the French revolution was famine. The central focus of the administration had been food production. The high cost of food items is the greed of the merchants and not the fault of the government.

After 6years, why has it taken buhari that long to fire them?
Valid point.

This overhyped "profession" that goes by the fancy name "banking". Banking refers to the marketing and selling of loans to individuals and corporate bodies on a strictly commercial basis (no pity loan)....

It would be more beneficial to be tracking number of workers in healthcare industry since that's more useful....

Nigeria needs a conference where everyone needs to decide on the best ways to move the country forward. Both the president and governors are not really held accountable for their actions. But as I said the president is solely responsible for everything wrong in the country. He has the power to make positive changes and do the right thing without being sympathetic to a particular region/religion. Until we review the laws of this country we will keep going in circles while the those in government are cashing out and the youths will keep arguing aimlessly on irrelevant topics.

Yes I agree a conference is needed.

<<But as I said the president is solely responsible for everything wrong in the country>>
That's the easy way out.... it doesn't even sound right.... and this is where most Nigerians miss it. Even the next president after Buhari they will keep blaming him/her. Nigerians themselves are 33% responsible for everything wrong with this country plus the collective leadership (not just Buhari)

Yes the governors should be held responsible, but the kind of democracy being practiced in Nigeria gives the president absolute powers which makes wicked people who finds their way into that position to act wickedly. If a good man becomes the president of Nigeria things will move well. The president is in charge of the country and every blame stop at he's doorstep. Anyone trying to make excuses for the president/presidency is just doing so out of hes/her normal survival hustle.

Take personal responsibility for yourself.... is a wise saying....

Problem is most people like blaming others for their failures.....

There's no special kind of democracy being practiced in Nigeria.. ... it's easier to blame one man than to blame who should be blamed just the same way it's easier to pray than to work....

It's easier to pray from 6am - 9am expecting miracles than to wake up at 4am shower go work hussle for work come back.

If you are serious request the State budget from your state governor and start from there.... but this is hard work that's why ppl just blame Buhari

Igbochief001:
Smart states like what ? Why can't you support states to control their resources

People like you leave root cause of a problem and attacking the symptoms

Restructure this country , anambra spends billion to build an international airport , federal government says it's only going to be a local airport ... investment wasted and you say what

Akwa ibom has been waiting got federal government to approve it's sea port construction for the past 10 years plus and you are here saying what I don't know


Restructure this country or break it apart n stop holding us back ....let's see how kano would fund 44 local governments

States already control their resources except for oil and I can bet you even if States fully control their resources it will be same as current mess because the Nigerians in those States or even biafra will still be corrupt. Nigerians are all the same at the core.

Lagos controls it's revenue and Lagos igr isn't shared with anyone same as Akwa Ibom

Anyone that thinks he/she can make any logical argument with the op is just wasting time. People just love to catch cruise. The OP might be relaxing somewhere with good food and drinks and having fun while creating unnecessary topics just to keep Nigerians arguing aimlessly on irrelevant topics. Buhari is not responsible it's the letter A in Apc that is responsible for the issues we are facing. Let's all catch cruise together. Smh

AAC tried to give Nigerians a glimpse of good governance in Edo Government elections - unfortunately INEC frustrated the party out of the elections.

No one is catching any cruise just a statement of fact. Californians blame California governor in the first instance, same as New York.... People of new York can't wait for the governor to leave.... the point is blame your governor for state government matters....

Nigerians love catching cruise and heaping it all on one man (be it Jonathan, Yardua or Buhari)

Igbochief001:
I thought you were smart ...how much is texas revenue ? Can states access their resources ? What are you even saying even ?

Don't use Texas as an excuse.... Nigerian states have Internally Generated Revenue - of course internally generated revenue is revenue the State generates for itself. Smart States don't wait for federal allocation, they generate revenue themselves.

Stop trying to generate excuses for States so that you can blame only one man - Mr President

Masterppower:
You same people blamed Jonathan even till today you're still blaming him.

Why the double standard?

A bag of rice as at the time of Jonathan was between 5,6 and 7000 respectively, but under this terrorists regime everything has scattered.

Families can't even feed their children let alone sending them to school.

Buhari and APC are The problems of Nigeria.

There is no double standard - Nigerians love blaming any president be it Buhari or Yardua or Jonathan....

Families not being able to feed while sad is a State Government responsibility. A responsible state would have ministry of labour and employment as well as food subsidy depending on how rich the State is. Lagos state government is rich and should be able to afford basic food subsidy. Same as FCT

Most of u guys should thank God that this forum is a faceless forum o... because only God knows what would have be the fate of people like u by now o. Like play like play sachet pure done turn #20 naira now for Lagos, and u guys would still open ur mouth to talk rubbish. No wahala sha, if nor be them greedy Nnandi Azikiwe and other greedy folks wey dey find power by all means, wey come go carry us merged with some group of backward people like u, me and u for nor dey share the same country by now na..... So I nor fit too blame u like that because the did has already been done.

Shut the fuckup you black cursed vagabond and get off my mentions with your toxic masculinity and always trying to get personal with strangers and to hell with you and your savage male violence

Igbochief001:
How does government work tell me ..
We people ask for restructuring to give state or regions power u say no

Health is a mixture of federal and state ...the economic activity is the work of the federal government ... revenue have declined as a result of poor policy from the federal government...

What magic do you want states to do

States already have power.... if they didn't have power there will be no state governor, state house of assembly, state ministries..... there will also be no state budget.... power is already devolved and has been devolved ever since....

Okowa looted, Tinubu looted as governor allegedly, many governors loot - are you seeing the pattern here?? How come of 36 governors none has been desirous to make their state like Texas?? Being desirous is one thing nor having the money is another.. .. if a governor is desirous of great things everyone can see it.

Finally, every state has revenue and a budget - most states have lots of money - stop generating excuses for lack of performance of state governors

When Jonathan was president, Nigeria's problem could be blamed on Jonathan.

But now that Buhari is president, Nigeria's problem can't be blamed on him.

Boy, are you a Yoruba Muslim? Is that why you are defending your slave master even when your conscience told you that you are lying?

Or is your conscience dead?

My brother Nigerias problem only has about 33% to do with the President - regardless of it's it's Jonathan, Buhari or Yaradua.

Nigerias problem is 33% president, 33% states and 33% people. Regardless if it's jonathan or babangida or Buhari

rejoice4eva:
Boko Haram just hoisted a flag in Niger![/quote
Oga , stop defending the indefensible.
Nigerians are not smiling and BUHARI is 99% responsible.

He is not 99% responsible - if that's what you believe, keep believing while your situation worsens....

Nigerians have been placing sole blame on their presidents since 1960 so this isn't new.

Keep blaming Buhari

Igbochief001:
Do you know the function of the president ?

He is the leader ...he leads others follow , he created directions ...u really don't get

That's not true. That's not how government works.... that's the problem most Nigerians don't even know how government works

rejoice4eva:
Simply put, President BUHARI, was not fit, is not fit and can never be fit for president.
Failure.

For failing to preserve territorial integrity yes I agree with you... but all other problems aren't his fault entirely.

Boko Haram just hoisted a flag in Niger!

Farmer Herder Crises
State Governors have failed Nigerians by not negotiating with Miyetti Allah and working with their cabinets to immediately quench the farmer herder crises. There's no way only one man can simultaneously be having 36 meetings with 36 state governors to stop farmer herder and also be attending foreign meetings and also be stopping kidnapping... it is the head of all these other institutions that have failed Nigerians


Territorial Integrity

Buhari is responsible for ensuring the territorial integrity of Nigeria and this is the major failing and failure of the administration for which Buhari should be 100% blamed. He should resign for this reason alone

Poor Healthcare
Let's use Ajaka State as an example. Ajaka State has a State Ministry of Health with staff. It is the State Ministry of Health that has failed Ajaka people not Buhari. Buhari is not "the head" or "at the top" because the State Governor was not appointed by Buhari. Ajaka people voted in a governor who has failed them. The governor minister of health and ministry of Health staff has failed the people by refusing to build good hospitals.... this is commonly blamed on Buhari. Secondly most States can afford to fund their healthcare themselves without federal allocation. The need for federal allocation is overhyped. Federal Ministry of Health only has an oversight responsibility - they can send in staff to various States to check data, state of equipment etc but the Nigerians manning the State Ministry are liars and thieves who will give false figures to the federal ministry... in this case the federal ministry cannot do much....

The Nigerian people have been failed by their state governors.

At the next election, pay more attention to your state governor.

If Nigerians chanelled the energy they use in blaming Buhari to blaming their state governors - Nigeria would have become much better by now!

BigBashiru:
In the scenario I cited, the fault isn't Buharis. It's the fault of the Senate President/ president of house of reps....

Nigerias failure isn't just by the President. It's a failure of all other arms of government and institutions and buhari isn't responsible for that.

Buhari cannot:

Ensure security in Imo - that's the job of Imo President. Imo Governor can however ask for soldiers.

Ensure Senate sit 36hrs that's for Senate President to ensure.

Ensure good healthcare - that's for state governors to ensure.

Farmer herder crisis is for each state governor to solve - Buhari can't simultaneously solve that across 36 states

Governors are elected by the public not by Buhari.

Nigerians don't even know how government works and are so lazily blame it all on Mr President

Buhari is federally responsible for food security and his administration has done well in the area of food security. Don't take the rice fruits and vegetables you buy from the market for granted. Buhari has done a good job there...

By and large there's a limit to what one man can do so set your expectations accordingly.

Electricity and fuel the leaders of those ministries aren't doing a good job Buhari will eventually fire them hopefully but the blame should go to them not to Buhari

Amotolongbo:
Thanks to Buhari

Was it not house of assembly members who sit for 14hrs in q1 instead of the minimum 36 hrs?? How's that Buharis fault... it's a racial problem.... how come Ukraine or Hungary or china parliament aren't also lazy??

anigbajumo:
Over 200 number of people killed and kidnapped in the last 7days, instead of FG to map out startegy to stop this nonsense of killings and kidnapping everywhere they are busy flexing muscles on media houses. It's unfortunate and unbelievable this is happening under a president that was once a former military Officer, the killing these days is disheartening. I just hope the little investors we ab won't pack out in coming months if their life is not guaranteed.

Despite all this the vast majority of Nigerians still support the guy. Sai baba! PMB till 2099.... sometimes I entertain doubts on if Nigerians are sensible human beings.... but I don't wanna bcome racist....
