Things are quite difficult for Nigerians these days and these are some of my observation in Lagos;
1. Roads look deserted; many people can not cope with high cost of fuel
2. Filling stations are less patronized
3. Shops and market stalls are not well stocked
4. More corporate beggars
5. Crime on the increase
6. People are spending more on foods and basic necessities
7. Job loss in the last nine months is very alarming
Our prayer is that God will heal the land

You know the amount of 215MW plant required to ensure stable electricity? At this rate your won't have steady light in the next 30 years.

abbey621:
You want to teach me about Obama and U.S economic policies? Better stick to topics more familiar to you. I'm sure you are well educated and are not the type to argue with sentiments so I'll break it down for you. Obama introduced comprehensive economic policies(Bailout, reforms to the housing and banking sectors, consumer laws and so on) in his first year, this stopped the bleeding in the first year. The U.S stopped losing jobs and foreclosure rates started declining. This is a sign of a serious president, even with all that he was still criticized because the economy was not adding jobs or growing but just leveling off. Now what do I mean by leveling off? I meant, companies stopped packing up, banks remained open,unemployment rate stopped crashing and the stock market stopped crashing. All this was done in the first year. Now by your reasoning,you expect Nigerians to just sit back and wait till after 4 years before vexing or criticizing? Most sensible Nigerians are not even asking for a vibrant economy, they just want the decline to stop. For how long will the poor masses be able to afford tomatoes at 400% its normal price or watch as essential commodities are no longer affordable? I want you to understand this and understand it well, Buhari met a disaster when he assumed office, we all get that but the citizens did not vote him in to make things worse, Obama got things going in his first year and the people felt it, hopefully Buhari can impact the lives of the masses positively before the end of his second year.

Read the bold part son, READ! Sounds like you need to take your own advice and head back to school

Larryton:
If what they wrote here professed by this man is true, that makes him an acheiver of great deed and an asset to this nation in his short tenure in office as the GMD of so called NNPC. But, I wonder why Buhari would remove such active person without tangible reason. So far so good u have done well kachuwku

You people will never seize to amaze us.

Now, what happened to the over 5000mw GEJ handed to Buhari

abbey621:
Just when I thought you were one of the great intellects on Nairaland,you had to respond with the bold words above, very disappointing! Obama didn't spend his first year in office dragging the economy down,he introduced the bail out and other economic policies and that stopped the bleeding, the job loss and home foreclosures started to decline and by the end of his first term,the U.S recorded the first positive growth in the economy. By the beginning of his second term the economy is trending upwards. Compare that to Buhari that has spent the entire first year implementing disastrous economic policies, chasing after corrupt officials with little to no results and watching the economy plummet into a full blown depression. To compare Buahri's first term to Obama's is like comparing banana to tomatoes in Nigeria right now, ridiculous!

kishimi8:
Using the language in which the holy book was revealed help to curb the loss of the message due to translation errors. Arabic is a language with so many nuances that translation or transliteration is hardly 100%correct.
So use of the language. Is encouraged but not compulsory. Only compulsory when praying salat. Not compulsory when you wanna talk to God directly, here a language you best understand is better.

Onyiridike:
My brother, STOP confusing yourself. Geopolitical zones are not enshrined in our constitution.

Moreover, it better to wail for a better Nigeria than to be a zombie.

abbey621:
What's this one saying? After a year, we are still playing this game, just stop it already! No one is expecting a miracle, just show Nigerians the plan that is in place and we can then have hope for the future. Sensible Nigerians are not expecting a swift turnaround but after a year things should not be worse than he met it. A year is enough to get us back to equilibrium(We don't even want the campaign promises anymore just equilibrium), if you don't think so then I'm even more sorry for you!

abbey621:
Did you just say that the economy is being handled well? Are you serious? I'm a Buhari supporter but I'm not blind to the degradation of the Nigerian economy, the economy is a joke, the VP is not an economist and Kemi is a nonentity!

Fear north. They know how to chop here,clean mouth and jump on the next boat to continue plundering.
I tell people that if you want to really know the people responsible for Nigeria's present sorry state,look at the composition of the tribe that has been in control of the nation's govt and resources.
But they know how to carefully pull away when the milk is dry and jump on the next cattle without being noticed

abbey621:
We all know what Buhari is trying to do is best for Nigeria but I'm afraid the task is too herculean for him. If he should spend his entire first term recovering stolen loot and prosecuting corrupt leaders then the economy will suffer greatly due to inability to multitask. Buhari with his good intentions might end up looking like a failure in the eyes of the public if he does not tone the recovery effort down and start implementing concrete economic policies. I'm afraid 2019 is fast approaching and some greedy politician is just waiting at the opportunity to use the economy against him in the election.

http://saharareporters.com/2016/05/23/chibok-girls-vs-ese-oruru-charming-contrasting-conspiracy-theories-jonathanians-churchill

Any Jonathanian that championed the free Ese campaign but remains in denial of the Chibok Girls tragedy is a two-tailed lizard promoting ape-level conspiracy theories. So, I hope I will be sufficiently understood in telling the unashamed surrogates of President Jona that the lost period of 2010-2015 is gone. We have finished the Nunc Dimittis! Your hero Oga Jona lost an election and it’s ALL OVER!! Dumb Jonathan is gone, Ese has been ‘rescued’ but Chibok Girls are still missing! Stop selecting facts and interpreting them based on your conflicting visions while draining your political energy.

After fuming about Ese, you have now kept mute on the rescue of my sister Amina, one of the Chibok Girls. I have waited for you to at least show some feelings on the plight of those girls and their parents, but you have refused. Instead of bowing your heads in shame, you have degenerated to the lowest possible level of humanity (below apes) by making mockery of people undergoing real trauma and pain.

For Ese, "Free Ese" trended in social media. But after the rescue of Amina, pictures of irresponsible adults and parents with wrappers as veils trended on social media. You complained about the Muslim veil used to cover Ese’s hair after the “forceful” conversion to Islam. But you have suddenly turned blind to the same veil on Amina’s hair. In your crooked mind, Ese was abducted by Yinusa, while Amina – a fairy tale character - absconded to join her Boko Haram ‘lover.’ Ese was 6-months pregnant and you screamed ‘abomination’ and called for the stoning of her boyfriend. Yet, when Amina showed up with a 4-months malnourished baby and a terrorist ‘husband,’ you lost your voice. Were you delighted too?

In the case of Ese, you immersed yourself in fear mongering, raising false alarm because it promotes your disillusioned conspiracy theory of the Islamization of Nigeria by your archenemies Buhari and Sanusi. You threatened Armageddon in order to save your Christian sister. Now that the “Jihadist’s” dogged determination against Boko Haram has resulted in the rescue of one of your Christian sisters, Amina, you’ve chosen to keep living in doubt. To you, Chibok Girls remains a cock and bull story used to kick your hero Oga Jona out. This is the same Jona that assigned $40 million for the rescue of the Girls and pocketed $35 Million with his Principal Secretary.

Despite these apparent contradictions, Jonathan’s surrogates have chosen politics over principles and I'm shivered at their unashamed political conspiracy theories. Even when they have been exposed and stripped naked, they are not ashamed. To insist that the truth about the Chibok Girls remains a ‘cock and bull story,' you’d have to assume that everyone who has in one way or another been involved in attempts to rescue the Girls was part of the cover-up including the Chibok Girls' parents, GEJ, Okonjo Iwuala, the Nigerian Army, International Organizations, etc.

As the Chibok community and parents of Amina were enjoying their reunion, the Nigerian Military released ‘False Positive’ news of the rescue of another Chibok Girl, Serah. But according to Haruna Mutali, a community leader in Chibok, their background checks revealed that Miss Serah Luka, was an SSS 1 learner at GSS Chibok, who was abducted by the insurgents in her home in Madagali but not in the school with the other Girls. Rather than seeing this clarification (fact-checking) by the community that cross-checked Serah’s name against their list of authentic Chibok Girls as an element of credibility, Jona’s surrogates have jumped on this as a confirmation of their conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, Amina’s confirmation by the same community group is still being treated with dangerous mental biases.

How could this be? How could so many Jonathanians, in the name of skepticism be promoting so many absurdities? Is it safe to conclude that this conspiracy chatter is a form of mental illness? No, it’s not a mental illness, but the prevalence of such belief, hardwired to suspect everything should be taken more seriously. We understand that distrust of the present administration is part of the issue, but a distrust that cultivates blind-half-baked conspiracy theory almost to the point of ignorance rather than critical thinking is shameful.

You tell yourselves that you’re the ones who see the lies, and the rest of us are sheep. The danger in this fascinating psychology of conspiracy theory is that once you buy into the first theory, with its premises of efficacy, the next seems that much more plausible. So, you continue to alienate yourself rather than objectively evaluating evidences. You denigrate the information, which you disagree with while accepting compatible information almost at face value.

Since majority of the Jonathanians are Christians, their rationale to celebrate Ese’s ‘liberation’ while still not acknowledging the existence of Chibok Girls is wicked. I know that Jesus Christ will be shaking His head from above and be wondering how people that claim to be Christ-like have missed the whole essence of His teaching on how we should behave towards enemies and friends. The life that Christ lived was accentuated by His love and compassion for the lost – a supreme example of what Christian behavior should look like.

Oh, so because you are caught in the bubble of solipsistic reality, you demonize people with different visions. Can’t you see that Jesus is weeping because you are crucifying Him the second time? As a Christian, how should you treat somebody in pain? How evil could you be that your heart is so hardened over your neighbor’s plight? You go to church every Sunday, take Holy Communion, yet, your heart is filled with evil and malice.

Will Cuppy once pointed out that "mother mice have babies all year round from four to thirteen. They don't know when to stop." One year after Jonathan, his surrogates are still producing ugly babies. They keep coming up with nonsensical garbage on how every action and inaction of this administration is designed to extinguish them. I read and dissect the evidence in their conspiracy theories only to find out that a five-year-old kid can poke holes on their reasoning simply because they all contradicted each other. Buhari is spreading Islam by kidnapping Ese and crushing Boko Haram while rescuing your Christian sister. Haba! Even Donald Trump can do better.

Sorry for wasting your time, it was not my intent to change your mind. Conspiracy theorists will always be conspiracy theorists. However, always remember that yesterday according to Mother Theresa is gone and tomorrow has not yet come. You have only today, so, leave that your yester years mentality of ‘them vs us’ binary life. Free yourself guys!
