Mynd44:Thank you for your thoughtful comments. "Ishe, ki dede she" When a man failed to realize where rain started beating him he cannot predict where it will stop. Garba Shehu statement propel the public outcry on Buhari's public asset declaration. Nigerians are well informed now and you cannot play on their intelligence like it was in the 80's. |

OREMUSSANCTUS:My point is Nigeria has become too religious that we failed to demand accountability from our leaders. - We celebrate criminal politicians - We hail the pen robbers - We sing the praises of ringleader of criminals as "King Maker" Fellow Nigerians, your deliverance can only come when you are ready for it. |
Mynd44:Thank God your wish was granted! Now we can rebuild Nigeria. But should we still use the same old and faulty foundations of lies, deceit and fraud ? |

Buhari should have had a rapid response team in place by now to help him define his order of priorities after March 28 when it became clear he has won the election, and after his nemesis has conceded victory without wasting time. The magnanimous concession by President Jonathan should have given Buhari a leg up to fine-tune some of his the things he wants to do on taking over from Jonathan on May 29 just like David Cameron has been doing in Britain. He should have seized the opportunity of his inaugural address to demonstrate that conviction more forcefully than he did. He should have given his listeners some concrete ideas about where he wanted to take Nigeria beyond his election campaign rhetoric. That we still don’t know who is Secretary to Government is going to be up till now is a proof the man is far from ready to lead. It could also be a proof that there is a big division in the rank and file of the APC. That is not something they can be proud of having waited for 16 years to come this far. Chairman of the Party, John Odigie Oyegun as a former Administrator and Permanent Secretary should have known that. By failing to do a few things, Buhari is beginning to lose some credibility and traction in my judgment sad to say. The APC ought to be fully aware that they have their job cut out for them because the PDP is not going to give them a breathing space at all because the PDP is understandably aggrieved and very unhappy to have been kicked out of office and denied 4 more years of anomie and total hopelessness that have become their legacy as a the biggest party in Africa. The APC has woken up a sleeping lion from its slumber and some of their members are going to go after the APC with vengeance, and rightly so, because Politics is a blood sport in much of the third world believe it or not.

[size=18pt]Scandal: Buhari’s declared asset close to N900Million,but allegedly borrowed N27Million from the Bank to be able to pay for his nomination paper as a candidate..”[/size] —Dr. Wumi Akintide I am predicting that the Buhari Government are going to have the shortest honeymoon with Nigerians and many of their ardent supporters in the mainstream and social media and rightly so. Unless Buhari changes his current lethargic and snail speed approach to governance, he is going nowhere but down to put it bluntly. There is no way Buhari is going to meet the huge expectations of Nigerians if he continues to drag his feet and simply look the other way all because he wants to be too careful and painstaking in taking decision. I know there is a limit to how much we can expect from a 73 year old man who is probably going to fall asleep or take a fall climbing the steps like 90 year old Robert Mugabe has been doing lately to the total embarrassment of Zimbabwe because the man does not know where to draw the line and call it quit. Nigerians fully understand that Buhari is not a Houdini or Professor Moshudi Peller, Nigerian greatest magician. Buhari himself has tried to lower Nigerians’ expectation on that score because he probably knows his limitations. Some of you might think it is too early to start passing judgment on Buhari but I am going to do it because I care too much about the man because I knew him in his prime as an incorruptible leader with very low tolerance level for corruption. I was a little bit taken aback when the man recently declared his asset. It was close to 900 million Naira. Here was a man who had to borrow 27 million from the Bank to be able to pay for his nomination paper as a candidate. Nigerians now know that the man is far much richer than he wanted Nigerians to believe when he started his campaign. That asset compared to any of his peers like Babangida, Sani Abacha, Obasanjo, Abdulsalam Abubakar, and Ebele Jonathan has to be viewed as only a drop in the ocean. I sure get that but I am still a bit surprised. The asset he declared was done like the old one where he could not be charged for perjury or over-up if he or his Vice President had lied in the declaration. It was nonsense pure and simple… I am aware that other African leaders like Mobutu Sese Seko, Houphet Boigny, and Emperor Jean Bokasa were far much richer in their life time than most of our leaders, but you still have to wonder how our leaders plunder their countries to get richer the whole country. Ebele Jonathan the shoeless canoe man of Otuoke is almost as rich as Bill Gates or Dangote today if you add the wealth of his power-drunk first lady. I fully understand that Buhari who has voluntarily dropped his title of a General in the Nigerian Army is proceeding with great caution because he does not want to look like a dictator or being blackmailed or stigmatized as one by the PDP, and even by some elements in his own party who want to act and behave like the PDP did for 16 years of total impunity and recklessness in Nigeria I concur that Buhari needs to proceed with caution but caution is one thing and lethargy, sloppiness and foolhardiness belong to a different kettle of fish for a man who was a former Head of State for 20 months from August 1983 as a military dictator. They constitute a different ballgame and for a man who has sought the office of a civilian President for 12 consecutive years and should have been fully ready to know some of the things he wants to do, and some of the individuals he would need to get the job done. He ought to have known what the Nigerian Constitution would permit him to do with the consensus of his party majority in both Houses of Parliament. He does not come away now like a man who has gone thru that baptism of fire and conviction. He does not look to me like a proactive President right now. He looks like somebody waiting to react to events as they occur which is not good enough.

OrlandoOwoh:Amin Aase! I see... however, for Nigeria to really move forward we need a balance of power. We need leaders that are independent minded and not remote-controlled leaders. We at this end are committed to the Nigeria project of unity in diversity. God bless Nigeria. |
No one can prepare you for a loss, in this moment of grief and loss, we Nigerians stands by the Ghanaians', please accept our deepest sympathy. RIP to the dead. |
[size=18pt]APC is a Fraudulent and hypocritical party.[/size] ![]() |
OrlandoOwoh:Ogbeni OrlandoOwoh, Aku isinmi oni, Don't you feel allowing Senator Bukola Saraki on that sit would make a balance of power ? What are your thoughts ? |
We at this end will continue to love Ayodele Peter Fayose. The man of the people. |
Mogidi:I wish Nigerians would not be blind to the evil politics of Bourdillon road. The evil politics played in Lagos since 1999 where opposition are deprived until Jonathan's Free & Fair election of 2015. We should not allow Nigeria to be in the pocket of the "BIGGEST LANDLORD IN THE WORLD" God, help my country! |
As a patriotic Nigerian, I adopt Sen. Bukola Saraki for Senate President. |
Maranatha! |

Mynd44:Sanusi and his many unsubstantiated allegations? OBJ with his long letters with alarms of GEJ snipers and hired assassins that are yet to be revealed to ordinary eyes ? Anyway, that is story for another day. The message is very clear, most of us here are passionate about our views and would be glad to represent it again and again without any forms of inducement. |
Anyone that expresses a contrary view or draws attention to his intellectual and temperamental deficiencies is jeered at as an “enemy” of Nigeria. |
Iroh88:Continue your hatred posts, it will not take you too far... Inunibini buruku ![]() |
I wonder how myopic the reasoning of some human being, do you need to be paid to follow your believe? do you need to be paid to air your views? do you need to be paid to express your opinions ? Moreover, calling you an outcast for not aligning with the on-going enslavement of your region. Nigerian politics still runs on bad-belle. (bo ba opa, bi o ba o bu lese, eyin Omo araiye ni yen) |
Mynd44:Oga, learn to read before posting... |
To me, it is more patriotic to criticise Buhari with good arguments than to eulogise him based on ethno-religious sentiments and exaggerated expectations. Now, I must commend the President for appointing Femi Adesina Special Adviser on Media and Publicity. Adesina is a Buharimaniac no doubt, but he is of the finest breed. He is a thoroughbred professional, humane, urbane, compassionate, but too religious and somewhat conservative for my liking. Irrespective of the hot air from Buharimaniacs on this issue, Buhari’s failure to fulfil that promise puts a question mark on his reputation as a man of integrity. Being a logician, I know that from a contradictory proposition such as “I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody,” anything follows! Concluded. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/president-buhari-and-his-enemies/ |
