It has only been a few weeks as the president of Nigeria, and Buhari has already started to set things straight; all 4 Nigeria's refineries to begin operation next month.

Can you believe this sh1t?

Almost 20 years of PDP, and absolutely nothing sensible was accomplished.

One more time, may God punish every single one of these bastards that made the possible impossible....

Nigeria can fly even higher than the sky only if the pin heads wake up and embrace a better future for this great country.

Sai Buhari!!!

Tinubu too can go straight to hell

You are what your name suggests..... Zombie

bulakos25:
I have read people refer to President Buhari as “clueless”- and suchlike adjectives of disesteem suggesting cognitive incapacity - for his recent reference to
German Chancellor Angela Merkel as “President Michelle of West Germany.” That is ignorant. And I will explain why shortly.
There are many things to criticise about President Buhari, but cluelessness isn’t one of them. His thought-processes are clearly complex, sophisticated, and high-
level. If in doubt, get hold of any of his off-the cuff remarks; go beyond the distractions of his accent, and you will see a man whose intellect is deep and whose
understanding of governance and world politics is admirably advanced. I have interviewed him twice - first when I was a journalist in Nigeria and later from here
in the US for the Nigerian Village Square website in 2010.
You’re probably wondering where I am going with this. How could someone call Germany ‘West Germany,’ mangle its president’s name and official title, and I not only say he
isn’t clueless but insist he is, in fact, intellectually deep?
OK, let me start by saying I am not some viscerally one-dimensional, unreflective Buhari apologist who is wedded to what I call the misguided philosophy of Buharist inerrancy,
that is, the wrongheaded idea that Buhari can’t ever be wrong. Buhari is only human who is liable to errors and lapses of judgment. Many of us who criticised him, and will
criticise him in the future, do so not because we are better but because, as the saying goes, the onlookers, not the participants, see most of the game.
Now, when Buhari called German Chancellor Merkel “President Michelle of West Germany,” he was merely suffering from what Americans call a “senior moment,” which is the
momentary lapse in memory occasioned by old age. As psychologists know only too well, as we age, the speed with which we retrieve information from our cognitive reservoir
slows. Age-related memory lapses, experts tell us can start as early as the late 30s and get worse as we get older.
Nobel Prize-winning neurobiologist Eric Kandel and his colleagues published a well-received study in 2013 in the Journal of Science Translational Medicine where they, among
other things, reveal that a “memory gene” in us appears to get weaker as our brain ages, causing us to forget easily, mix things up, and be unable to easily recall information
stored in our memory banks.
Buhari is not the only president who contends with age-related memory impairment. The late President Ronald Regan, America’s oldest president, who was elected at nearly 70
years in his first term, was famous for his bewildering senior moments. I will give only a few examples. Sometime in 1984, when he was 73 years old, during a meeting with
Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone, according to TIME magazine < http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0 ,9171,951325-3,00.html>, President Reagan
constantly referred to his own Vice President, George Bush, Sr. (father of George W. Bush), as “Prime Minister Bush.” (Remember Buhari’s reference to Vice President Osinbajo
as “Osunbade” during a campaign rally in Owerri?)
And, according to Tom Friedman’s 2006 book titled You Are Not Alone: 1,000 Unforgettable Senior Moments: Of Which We Could Remember Only 246 < https://
books.google.com/books?id=-l0-QJkwNRMC&printsec=frontcover> , “President Ronald Reagan’s senior moments were legendary. He often forgot what foreign country he was
in or the name of the dignitary he was meeting. When he visited Brazil, he referred to it as Bolivia. He greeted Princess Diana as ‘Princess David;’ at a conference of mayors once
introduced himself to Samuel Pierce, the only African-American member of his cabinet, who he thought was the mayor of some American city; and called President Samuel Doe
of Liberia ‘Chairman Doe.’” (p. 85).
Have you seen any similarities yet? Well, another US president, Richard Nixon, had a senior moment when he went to France in 1974 to attend the funeral of French president
Georges Pompidou. Nixon had a lapse of memory and totally forgot why he was in France, so he said: “This is a great day for France!”
There will be many more age-related memory lapses from President Buhari. Get used to it. It’s no big deal. It’s part of the normal process of aging, and has no impact
whatsoever on cognitive ability or performance. In spite of his notoriety for embarrassing “senior moments,” President Reagan has often been ranked as one of America’s
greatest presidents. In fact, a February 2011 Gallup poll placed him ’as Americas greatest president < http://www.gallup.com/poll/146183/americans-say-reagan-greatest-
president.aspx> of all time - ahead of Abraham Lincoln.
Like Buhari, Reagan lost in a past presidential election, but went ahead to defeat a younger incumbent in 1980. He won re-election at nearly 74 years with the biggest Electoral
College victory in American history. When he left office in 1989, Reagan had an approval rating of 68 percent, which is the highest rating for a departing president in America’s
modern history. Only Franklin D. Roosevelt and Bill Clinton rival this feat.
I am not implying that Buhari will be a Nigerian Ronald Reagan, but his age-induced cognitive impairments and slips should not cause us to dismiss him. When he recently said
to Nigerians in South Africa < http://saharareporters.com/2015/06/17/old-age-will-limit-my-performance-%E2%80%93buhari> : “I wish I became Head of State when I was a
governor, just a few years as a young man. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do,” he was referring to the inevitable impediments that age imposes on people. But senior
moments don’t impair performance if the will to succeed is there, as the example of Ronald Regan clearly shows.
Although I think it’s ignorant to hold up Buhari’s senior moments as evidence of cluelessness, it’s fair game to poke fun at them. That’s the nature of democracy. Even Reagan
laughed at the humour his senior moments actuated. I hope Buhari - and his legion of zealous, humourless supporters - will learn to laugh at his senior moment jokes.

fulanimafia:
I don't understand how everyone can see the efforts PMB is putting in, in the fight against BH yet some people deliberately pretend the armed forces have completely ignored BH and are facing Calabar.

1. Relocation of the command centre

2. The composition of the MNJTF and establishment of their headquarters

3. The commitment of $100 million to fight the terrorists.

4. The release of $21 million already for the fight.

5. The donation of $5 million from the U.S alongside technical and weapons support.

6. The commitment of the G7 to eliminating the terrorists.

While there is clearly a brief transitional lull in the actual fight which makes the terrorists appear to be winning, it should be appreciated that the aforementioned are crucial and vital for a solid foundation for dealing the blood suckers a final fatal blow. Fighting the militants does not translate into stopping the fight against BH, allowing such criminals to fester in the first place is what balloons into problems like BH.

All militants, kidnappers, and demented elements that think they can threaten Nigerians should either make good their threats, repent, or embrace the Hell-fire from the air.

Fighting terrorist is by killing them and total eradication of them not all these trash you listed

By the end of the year! Wike will be in Otuoke washing Mama Piss panties, as Dakuku Peterside must have taken over governance.

The game of power is an amoral game quite all right. But in this game your reputation is your capital, your must gaurd it with your life.

Do you think Fashola is a saint,...but check out his reputation.


That is why you must use the cats paw to do your dirty job for you... and keep your nose very clean. You can never pin anything on Tinubu, everything he has accrued to himself is illegally legal.


Saraki has created a reputation for himself as a Judas, it will be extremely difficult to wash and nobody wants to deal witn a Judas.

He could have gotten his friends in PDP support, then allow his rival to be there for the election and still go ahead and win while and not vote in their abscence and turn himself into a political leper.

Secondly when you guys talk of 'saraki should have waited' I am surprised. Is saraki the clerk or the electoral Chairman? What do you mean by waited? Was he the one that told the clerk to start the election? Did he have any power to tell the clerk to go on or wait? I don't think saraki had a say or influence to tell the clerk to wait for his colleagues. The Clerk was on an assignment which the President asked him to do. Even if saraki was not there, the 49 Opposition Lawmakers would go ahead with the election which would have been more catastrophic.

The end justifies the means my brother. Saraki is Senate President and Lawan may never be one in his life. Reputations may never be needed As long as you get what you want. The No 3 man of Nigeria was at stake, a position this might be their only chance to get. Saraki put everything at stake to getting it

fxskye:
What were the "real" status of these said semi-dead refineries?

Don't answer Question with Question. Were the refineries renovated by Buhari under 20 days in office? Yes or No

Which plane comes so low near a residential building?

gunners160:
When a leader is good,good thngs happen to the people and when a leader is clueless the people will be clueless.For the past gud 16yearz Nigeria has never for 1ce refinined her own crude oill but nw we r about to do it .Our past leaders do nt have our interest to heart but their own interest.Since Buhari is diff, pls lets give him the support,lets stop critizing him and lets allow him to work.Bad belle no go take us go anywhere.At least,Nigerians deserve to enjoy,we deserve the best thngs of life be you a pdp supporter,Apc,kowa or any oda party,lets work together and encourage Buhari.Internet bashing will not help us,critising him will not help us,badmouthing and spoiling his government will not help us.How would we fill if we have our own refinery,at least 8 to 9hrs lite,60% of the youth are gainfully employed,20% reduction in corruption,50% good roads.We voted 4 "change"lets stand by it,embrace it and support it.Whether u like Buhari or not,pls he is the 1 in office lets give him a chance for a beta tommorrow,he kant do it alone wo our support.Good goverment begins with you and I #enoughofBuharibashing# and if anybody thinks they kan do beta,then they should come out and contest 2019.Sai baba

Is it Buhari's govt that did the refinery? Yes or No

otipoju:
A broken pot, even when fixed can never look like the original.

In the months to come, Saraki will realise the enormity of his betrayal.

Conceding the Deputy position to PDP is the height of betrayal....he will never be trusted by any reasonable person and would always be viewed with suspicion.

His victory is a phyrric victory. He lost more than he gained and will be served at the appointed time.

No morality in politics says Machiavelli famous political scientist

egift:
Here is PDP strategy for the next 4yrs:
1. Start one sweet irresistible Lie that will get everyone dancing.
2. If the APC muster the courage to refute it, then all the agents of PDP will be screaming like Mad.
3. If APC allow it to stand, their Protection-Seeking rumour mill will start another Lie.

Just like Lai Mohammed taught them

onatisi:
this news is fake, if there is going a sale of the presidential jets ,the order has to pass through the relevant ministry or parastatals, which organisation does this so called “industry sources” belongs to? This piece of news lacks any credible sensible credibility to any sensible individual. Government bureaucracy is more than just an invincible source been quoted .

Abi.

musaibnabdul:
As part of the federal government’s cost measures,
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that
nine of the VIP transport aircraft under the
presidential fleet should be sold.
Industry sources informed THISDAY that the
presidential fleet, which are registered as Nigerian
Air Force aircraft, is one of the largest in Africa and
the third largest in Nigeria after Arik Air and
Aerocontractors.
According to an aviation source, who is aware of
the directive to sell the aircraft, the presidency has
a number of serviceable and unserviceable aircraft
that need to be disposed of in order to reduce the
amount spent by the federal government for
aircraft maintenance annually.
“Nine, which still have market value, are to be sold
immediately to reduce maintenance costs,” he
said.
For years, the federal government has spent over
N12 billion annually for the maintenance of the
presidential fleet. www.thisdaylive.com/articles/buhari-orders-disposal-of-nine-presidential-aircraft-to-cut-cost/212433/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

OrlandoOwoh:
How have the Unemployed Benefit Funds the UK pays to youth adversely affected their economy?

Because the economy of UK generates more excess revenue than Nigeria. So far Nigeria can't match UK. The UK is 5 trillion dollars economy, while Nigeria is 500 billion dollars economy, we have greater unemployment rate and they have just a hand ful of people unemployed, with their revenue and the little number of me unemployment, they can afford to pay the unemployed youth. But in Nigeria, we have so much infrastructure deficit which has made our GDP low, we can't afford to spend 120 billion naira on paying youth when we have so much infrastructure lacks. If we do for how long will we pay youths?

kheart:
Bros stop displaying ur ignorant here, america pays the unemployed too.

Look at you comparing a 16 trillion dollar economy with 1 percent unemployment rate to a 500billion dollars economy with 40 percent unemployment rate. You better go to school and stop fooling yourself. Out of me and you whobis displaying ignorance. MUMU

Some hard or bitter truth as you may call it. I have realized that our region is the most backward region in our country (NIGRIA) And yet our region (North) has produce president of this great country than any other region but has nothing to show for it. Starting from the Amdu Bello, Shehu Shagari, Buhari, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha to Abdulsalami then late Yarudua and now back to Muhammad Buhari again all are from the core North and yet why our region still the most poor revenged. Worst sickness you found it here in the North. The richest man in the whole Africa from north and yet we have highest of illiteracy in Nigeria. Sometime when I read online and hear some of our people talk about been sentimental in their judgments, I discover it is more in our region than other part of Nigeria. I have come to realize that our elites are our problem and not other regions. I have come to realize that most of us are dying of envy, some of you have to travel out of north and see things for yourselves and not base on what our immans, elders and political elites tells you because they still want to use you to get what they want for their own blood children even the unborn. I hate it when I hear some of our people call others names. Let us swallow our pride and give honor to whom it is do to. The Igbos are very adventurous and that is why they are everywhere in the world and making good names for our country (Nigeria) The first woman to win Gold in sport is an ibo woman, the first and second woman to be recognize by world bank are ibo women. And our people are still playing local champion. The first Nigeria to be voted in parliament in Italy, Poland, Germany, USA, England are all ibos. The only time a Northerner made headline was in negative way, trying to bomb American airline. And for those of you my Muslim brodas I don't want you to look at my message as bias or ridiculing NO, it is not but I want you to think. Islam is a religion of peace, I agree with you but how on earth will someone outside your religion so convince you to take arms against your fellow worshipers and you willingly do so as some of you claim. Or how can our leaders because they want power allow Boko Haram to kill their people so freely with all the head of states from our region and they are all Muslims. Don't you think it is stupidity? Some of you guys need to travel outside Nigeria and see how the children of our elite eats what belong to you and me. They squander our money, money that was made for the development of North. I hate them all. Allah bless Nigeria.

Local and international tourist. Buhari likes plane sha
