The long and short of it is that he’s still pissed about how contestants shamelessly stepped down that night of APC convention 🤣

In the last paragraph he’s stylishly saying he won’t mind being a minister under Tinubu(despite his displeasure with the electoral process that produced him); provided the terms/condition of service are favorable to him.

I am not sure the man has nipped anything in the bud. To this day the notorious sambisa forest has not been carpet bombed and is still a haven for bh.

BAT will have a big fight on his hands because part of the issue imho is latent sympathy to the ultimate intentions of boko haram.
U know we just have to rely on what is reported in the media and can’t be making conjectures . So let’s just agree Boko Haram has been neutralized cos we don’t hear them seizing military barracks and bombing villages .

Was Buhari elected to just to reduce Boko Haram attacks and look away while other security challenges ravage the whole nation

Just like in US, Al qaeda terror is reduced but homegrown lone shooters increase

So we can say America has been failing security

Security is not static. Insecurity is always ever changing with new dynamics. What Buhari met when he came was a country that Boko Haram as almost on its knee with some LG in control of these terrorist. That is no more.

Now the insecurity challenges has taken new dimensions with killers herdsman, kidnappers and bandits going on a spree leaving the security forces almost helpless.

Did Buhari handled the boko haram crisis better than he met it? Yes. Did he handle the crisis that ballooned during his tenure? No.

And buying military hardwares are actually important, if most of Buhari predecessors actually invested in the military as much as Buhari did, our capacity to confront these multiple threats would've been mightily increased. A military that was defunded cannot respond to multiple threats in different fonts.

Overall on security, Buhari did his best, reduced the hold of boko haram on the country but failed to nip rampaging fulani herdsman and bandit in the bud but with his military hardware acquisitions, hopefully PBAT will be able to tackle these security challenges and those that spring up during his tenure.
You've not said anything that has not been said here since morning. He nipped Boko haram in the bud but several other insecurity challenges came up and he was unable to tackle them successfully. He failed at one of the functions of government. Simple!

It's a good thing to be hopeful Tinubu will do better because that is what is in the best interest of us all as Nigerians.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 3:59pm On May 27, 2023
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Some jokes do tell themselves .

A government's basic functions are providing leadership, maintaining order, providing public services, providing national security ,providing economic security, and providing economic assistance.

SECURITY ! That’s one major area buhari has failed and we are bringing it to the fore.

Someone who is trying to defend buhari on that comes here telling us about purchase of military hardware. Then he proceeds to state the obvious that military is not the same as security . Yet he says we are the one with low iQ.

Why would a person with high iQ bore us with stories of military spendings that has not reduced our security challenges but instead things have gotten worse on a broader scale ?

Make it make sense na!

You can't discuss data without a starting point

You are in finance, you can't say this is the ending balance without knowing the starting balance

What you have done in basic accounting is giving us a balance sheet without a brought forward figure

If Buhari had 1m herdsmen death, what was it before him so we can know if the 1m is an improvement or worse

If you say after running a company for 8yrs you have a value of 10bn, what most people will want to know is what was the value before you took over. Without that figure you haven't provided any important info

Because someone who inherited 100bn left 10bn is not same as someone who inherited 1bn and left 10bn
lol.

U see , u just continued where u stopped ; playing around the point . So much paragraphs and yet none telling us how Buhari didn’t fail in the area of security .

Almost every living Nigerian knows Jonathan was sacked due to many reasons chief of which is how Boko Haram ravaged the north east .

What do we have today ? A less active Boko Haram in the northeast ( kudos to Buhari ) , Bandits lording over people in the north west(Some communities even pay ransome to be able to farm ) Killer herdsmen doing their thing in the North central and some parts of south west , IPOB and kidnappers doing their thing in the South east .

We’ve seen Bandits attack Airport, Nigerian defence academy , railway , and even presidential convoy ! All under Buhari’s watch . These are the issues up for discussion, not whataboutism here and there .

It is buhari that is handing over on Monday and up for assessment and not Jonathan.

Okay we accept. Herdsmen and bandit never killed anyone before Buhari. They only started during Buhari times. When Jonathan was president the entire Northcentral was peaceful without any herdmen bandit killing

Yet na you go say person dey turn
That’s exactly what u are doing . U can’t fault the the data and the source , so u resort to whataboutism by playing around the issue being discussed .

From the screenshot what was the number of people killed by Herdsmen and bandit before Buhari or the people of NorthCentral never experienced herdsmen and bandit killings before Buhari?

Jonathan visiting an area is evidence that there was no terrorism?

How many bomb blast have you heard compared to under Jonathan.

It won't kill you admit some progress was made on the Bokoharam front while still maintaining there is a lot to be done on other fronts
Read the screenshot punch editorial attached to my post u replied to. It acknowledged Buhari’s gains in reducing Boko Haram incidents by 92 per cent but also stated that Killer herdsmen replaced Boko Haram and racked the numbers up .

My thoughts are in agreement with that position.

Here is the link to the punch editorial. Read it (especially the insecurity part) and tell urself Buhari did well in stemming insecurity

This is very clear : BUHARI FAILED WOEFULLY AS FAR AS INSECURITY IS CONCERNED !

Those that want to keep deceiving themselves can continue . Here are facts and figures backing his failure up.

PS: It is a mischievous half truth when people say Boko Haram was controlling an area the size of Belgium when Buhari took over in 2015.

While it is true Boko Haram controlled some areas at a point in Jonathan’s administration, it is also true that some of the areas were reclaimed . In fact elections happened in those areas and the APC won the presidential election thanks to million of votes that came from Borno , Adamawa and Yobe(which are the areas being referred to)

Jonathan even visited the areas before the election . Most people will remember the elections were postponed for this same reason

I don’t think any challenge will be happening jare. The most intelligent amongst APC supporters here know there’s no defence for the disaster Buhari’s administration was. They’ve been wise not to fall for any bait to defend the indefensible . They know Buhari didn’t solve most of the problems we saw in Jonathan’s administration that made us kick him out.

That last line applies to you the most in this situation. Talk to the man in the mirror, bro.
😂

Somebody who has already convinced himself that Buhari signing constitutional amendment centered on 3 major things ( states power to generate and distribute electricity , moving railway to concurrent list and financial autonomy for state house of assembly/state judiciary ) has proven Buhari has done well overall. Smh.

Even Glorious.Gbola engaged him to point out the opportunities inherent for Nigerians/benefits of the whole Nigeria Air foolhardiness and he couldn’t come up with anything convincing .

He’s talking about lying to one self . Some jokes write themselves , tell themselves and laugh at themselves .

Also, kidnapping became a thriving industry on Buhari’s watch. Research portal, Dataphyte, calculated that cases of kidnapping of schoolchildren rose by 361.19 per cent during the regime, with 1,010 abducted between 2018 and 2021
Insecurity so worsened during the regime that some state governors defied the current embargo on the issuance of firearm licences and instructed their residents to bear arms for self-defence. Governors Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State and Aminu Massari of Katsina State have made several calls in this regard.
Like u guys don’t understand what it means for kidnapping to increase by 361.19%

Like u don’t know what it means for governors to advice citizens to bear arms in a federal system where the FG reserves the right to license fire arms.

Also, kidnapping became a thriving industry on Buhari’s watch. Research portal, Dataphyte, calculated that cases of kidnapping of schoolchildren rose by 361.19 per cent during the regime, with 1,010 abducted between 2018 and 2021.

A report by SB Morgen Intelligence revealed that Nigerians paid at least $18.34m to kidnappers as ransom between June 2011 and March 2020. Also, the National Security Summit Report by the House of Representatives revealed that over $2.4m were paid to secure the release of schoolchildren in five separate mass kidnappings in the North-West in November 2020.

In July 2022, terrorists stormed the Kuje Correctional Centre, FCT, killed several persons and freed over 600 inmates, including 150 Boko Haram members. Daringly, terrorists, bandits and South-East gunmen have been ambushing and killing soldiers and police officers, assaulting military formations and police stations. Bandits attacked the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, killed two officers and abducted another; terrorists ambushed a patrol team from the elite Presidential Brigade of Guards; and bandits once shot down a NAF Alpha jet.

Insecurity so worsened during the regime that some state governors defied the current embargo on the issuance of firearm licences and instructed their residents to bear arms for self-defence. Governors Samuel Ortom of Benue State, Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State and Aminu Massari of Katsina State have made several calls in this regard.

Even person wey go university use 4-6 years , collect certificate with “pass” grade go talk say he don run a good race (Despite knowing deep inside of him the certificate will not fetch him anything in the saturated Nigerian labour market) .

He governed almost 200m Nigerians , the stats and economic indices showed Nigeria retrogressed under his leadership but since him and his praise singers believe he did well nobody should say things the way they are .

It’s only born failures that hate criticism and don’t want to read about their own failures cos of how shameful it appears before their eyes .

Even Obasanjo that many Nigerians believe did well more than other presidents since the advent of democracy , he still gets criticism from time to time for some of his actions and inactions despite leaving leaving office over 15 years ago.

If posterity will be kind to anyone , it’s certainly not Buhari for the 8 years he lorded over Nigeria with misery.

If u think Buhari did well overall, u must be really bad at cost-benefit analysis .
