I love the way he ended his speech: He is being referred to as a former dictator, dictatorship is associated with Military rule " I take responsibility for what happened under my watch"
Richard Gozney has this to say about his visits to Buhari while he was in Nigeria: 1. His modest lifestyle in comparison to that of Nigerian politicians 2. His clarity of thoughts on issues.
In a democracy? After the Military will claim they do not violate human rights. There are better ways to deal with such issues. Luckily for the guy he was not assaulted by the man.

I have not travelled on that road for a few years now but I can imagine what it is like now given how bad it was some years ago. I saw a clip some months back and it was terrible.
Maybe he thought it's the Nigeria he used to know. Nigeria that is struggling to fight Boko Haram you want them to join you to fight ISIS. Mbok leave us out of that - at least for now.
To ISIS: It was a slip of tongue, he didn't mean to mention Nigeria.
ducii: “We love General Buhari and we will not stand idle to watch some greedy, self-centered and selfish politicians push such man around all in the process of actualizing their egocentric lust for power. We will not also fold our hands and allow these few take the already progressing country into constitutional crisis and needless doctrine of necessity.”
Motorists driving through Dubai could not believe their eyes when it started raining money in the middle of the UAE city. Thousands of 500 UAE Dirham notes - worth around £88 - flew through the oil-rich city on a busy afternoon earlier this month, and officials have yet to give an explanation as to why, or reveal a source of the cash. Drivers abandoned their cars in order to get their hands on the notes blowing down the road, and were filmed holding handfuls of notes. It is estimated that notes valued between two and three million Dirham were loose - meaning up to £500,000 was blowing in the wind. The notes were carried by strong winds through the Jumeirah area of Dubai for several minutes, but locals have got no idea where it came from. One surprised local described how his wife pulled over her car to film motorists dodging cash collectors on a busy stretch of highway in the city. He said: 'It was a very windy day. She was stuck in the traffic. She saw all this money. 'It was just raining money. It was 500 AED notes which is worth quite a lot. It was a lot of money.
'A lot of people were getting out of there care to grab this month. 'It doesn't happen every day. Everyone was amazing this was happening.' The baffling incident happened at around 3pm on February 11 and locals have no explanation. Police later arrived at the area and ushered people away, local media reports.
NixandaSalesRep: Hello, this is my own little idea for you as i have customers doing same. I am a supplier of good quality 1st grade London bales in Nigeria. I have a thread in the advert section of business which you can check to see how reliable and trust worthy i am.
You can by a bale of either male or female office shirts for example. When you get the bale, sort them out properly, iron them neatly and fold in a ghana must go bag. Spray a nice perfume inside the bag of cloths and leave for a day. Now trust me you have started a side business you can never imagine the profit you will be making. Take nice pictures of your stuffs and advertise on media like facebook, instagram, kaymu, konga, olx and even nairaland.
Once you can do this all you will see is that you have automatically built yourself an online fashion store where people can call you for your stuffs and you negotiate to deliver to them. Media like kaymu and konga are good cus they do the delivery for you.
You can give me a call if interested.
I wanted to do this business but realised that used clothes are on the import prohibition list. Right?
Whynotthetruth: It pains me when some of you folks who claim to be intelligent end up proving the opposite. If your system & style of fight against corruption which unfortunately is championed by Buhari is right and fool-proof; why do we still have armed robbers & kidnappers even with all the jail terms and executions
Why not Google great and noble countries like New Zealand to see how their country runs; which curtails corruption to barest minimum. Technology as championed GEJ is simply their little secret. GEJ is for prevention while Buhari is for cure. And we all know that; "prevention is better than cure". Stop the crime from even taking place at all, not mere media drama in the name of fighting corruption...
Strong institutions not strong individuals bro, gets the job done. Forget all these your Adolf Hitler cult-like following of buhari.
Get informed before criticising or maintain some dignified silence bro...
Did I claim to be "intelligent"? I was just stating the obvious. New Zealand that you referred to punishes offenders and that acts as a deterrent to others who may be contemplating crime. For the avoidance of doubt, deterrence means "prevention". Let me give you an example, having speed cameras alone on highways does not stop people from over speeding but people are cautious because when they over speed, they expect a ticket or fine with pictures delivered to their address.
Now, how many crimes have been solved with the Abuja CCTV? It was installed as a means of using technology to prevent crime but Boko Haram has carried out at least two bombings in areas in Abuja that I am sure has CCTV cameras and we are yet to see footage of the bombings or the vehicles that carried out the bombings. If the same Nigerian government that implemented these ideas is the same that will carryout the electronic anti corruption measures, I don't think it is out of place to point out the potential loopholes/failings of the system. And the question is while we wait for the full implementation of the system, should we allow the rogues to continue roaming the streets and enjoying their ill gotten wealth? Guy, reason with me and leave politics aside for a while.
Why is she asking and answering the questions herself? Why are the questions not thought provoking? Goat and yam analogy - Seriously? If you know that that when you steal you are definitely going to be punished, doubt most people will deep their hands into the treasury knowing that they are likely to be caught. There are still ways of circumventing the IT systems even though I admit it makes it more difficult (theoretically). If the people that operate the system still have the same mind-set, there's nothing that stops them from manipulating the system to loot our collective wealth and this time it is going to be more difficult to detect.

Catered4: Hello sir. I dont have to handle all that. The driver and the conductor handle all that. Mine is to pay for the transportation and receive it in lagos.
Catered4, Please how do you deal with those local government boys that stand on the road and stop trucks transporting goods to different parts of the country?
