You started on a wrong note. A lot of change agent on nairaland assume that once you criticise buhari, you are a biafran so I don't want distractions. Now, let us agree security is a challenge but the approach of buhari was only emotional not tactical...at best a 1979 war approach. we are in the digital age. The soldiers don't make command centre effective, the Govt does. The command centre is made effective with technology not with relocation. You mean if Niger delta militant start bombing tommorrow again you will relocate again to bayelsa.? What if they are bombing Niger delta and maiduguru at the same time, we will create another command centre? Let us start challenging our politician we are intelligent. Moving command centre to maiduguri changes nothing. It is as good as saying because a plane crashed at the Atlantic sea, we should move control tower to the sea to be more effective. You mean buhari is just studying how to tackle power sector crisis after contesting for 16yrs. What was he thinking since that time? We should give him eight months to develop a policy? Why were they criticising jonathan policy when they had no alternative plan? He had no business talking about amnesty ending yesterday. He was sending a wrong signal on the ist day in office without providing a likely alternative. My friend...he wasted the ist 24hrs in office. let's wait wether he can redeem the next 24hrs agabusta: Trash! Who gives a hoot the tribe u hail from? By claiming you ain't a kid, you definitely embarras people that always assert that with age comes wisdom with this nonsense u wrote up there.
Now lemme break it down for you:
We urgently need a solution to the power problem as u opined. But that is not the only problem we have. Mr President clearly shows wisdom by prioritising his roadmap. The first priority is the Boko Haram madness that is wasting human lives without blinking. And he has already taken a step in stating that the Command and Control Centre of the Boko Haram war should be relocated to Maiduguri. There is no room for underperformance by the commanders. Let their lives also be at stake in Maiduguri, then the seriousness of the situation will talk to them. The time of chilling in comfort zones in Abuja is over.
They should deploy to Maiduguri and perform, otherwise quit the stage. If the entire country is under attack will they need to move their command centre to a peaceful place like the moon before they can pursue the war?? If the entire country is the war theatre, won't they have their command centre in the war zone?? They are not getting the heat because they are in faraway Abuja chilling with chicks and politicians. When they get the heat at the theatre of war and action, they will definitely perform.
Now going back to your first point.
Mohammed Buhari clearly stated the seriousness of the power issue in his address. I quote
"No single cause can be identified to explain Nigerian’s poor economic performance over the years than the power situation."
That is Buhari telling you that the main reason our economy is not growing as it should is because of the power sector. Which indicates he understands the urgency of the situation.
You said you expected the president to declare emergency and tell us all the problems bedeviling the power sector, his policies and solutions, etc. Mr Man, it is an inaugural speech we call it, not manifesto speech. And this is not the only speech he'll make for us. This is an inaugural speech! He may later dedicate an entire session with the press to discuss Nigeria power problems. What he did intelligently in his address is to tell us the focal point of his administration and he did that brilliantly. Quoting PMB again on the power issue:
"Continuous tinkering with the structures of power supply and distribution and close on $20b expanded since 1999 have only brought darkness, frustration, misery, and resignation among Nigerians. We will not allow this to go on. Careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians."
He clearly and emphatically stated that his administration will not allow this to go on as it is now. As a doctor u claimed you are, you should be aware of the importance of carrying out detailed study before implementation. That is the major key to success in any human endeavour. From what was transmitted to them, he has stated that a study is underway to discover fastest and safest way to deliver cost effective power supply to people like you. If after 8 months, they are yet to brief the country in detail as to their plans in this regard and then start implementation, then people like you can cry foul. I may even join you sef. But for now, all your assertions are childish and tantamount to calling a dog a bad name to kill it. I wonder why I'm even replying u sef. Well I guess it's because i'm kinda bored at the moment. I wonder where u saw or heard Buhari stated that he'll end amnesty program if not that you lack comprehension skills. Buhari said and I quote:
"The amnesty programme in the Niger Delta is due to end in December, but the Government intends to invest heavily in the projects, and programmes currently in place."
By misquoting the above for your own trash, you must be a village herbalist and not a doctor u claim to be. MB stated tht the program is due to end! He didn't say he is ending it! It means the program already has a lifespan even before Buhari came on board and he clearly stated that his administration will build heavily on the programs.
Oh my world, some people are so dull and silly!
Amnesty did not take preeminence in his speech as wrongly posited by you. Security did. And rightfully connected to security is the amnesty program in the Niger Delta which he promised to pursue and sustain. If there is no security of lives, properties and investments in the Niger Delta, I wonder how you'll get fuel and power which you want him to prioritise over Security and Niger Delta issues. Pls use your head. |

Tell me how it will be done, give us policy directions so we know you are not experimenting only to start blaming saboteurs later. Nigeria has 2 main emergencies.. .power and fuel! We deserve to know what our president will do about it within 24hrs, how he will do it so we can all support it. He had 2 months to prepare my dear...he won since March 28... Yo mean since that time he didn't know yet what do about our greatest headache? You mean this is how they will start preaching patience till another 4yrs. I can only be patient if buhari tells me how he will do it not by leaving us in the darkness to guess. This is change and we expect nothing but change. |

The funfare is over, the CHANGE is 24hrs old but the reality on ground and the body language of the president has not changed anything.
1)The last time we had light anywhere near alimosho axis of lagos was 10days ago straight. I expected the president to at least declare a state of emergency in the power sector even with his inaugural speech. I expected the president to tell us what the problem is with the power sector and then tell us how he intends to stop it. Is it generation, is it transmission? Is it gas, is it over centralisation of the power sector? We don't have time for frivolities. Moving the defence command from abuja to maiduguri changes exactly nothing. The world has broken the chain of communication. We don't need defence command in maiduguri for effective communication. We only need to upgrade our communications gadget.
2) this is not time for rhetorics...I don't belong to anybody is just a sentence that carries no weight. action will tell us wether or not you belong to somebody. Why am I still wondering where I will buy fuel this morning and at what price? The president speech yesterday could have solved the fuel crisis this morning. He could also have declared a state of emergency in the energy sector. Is he going to continue with subsidy? Is he going to pay marketers? For example, if he merely stated yesterday that he was going to pay the marketers the fuel will be flowing freely this morning. If he says he was going to stop subsidy after building the refinery within a space of 2 yrs, fuel will still flow cos marketers know they will get money for the one supplied. We don't want to start guessing what our president will do. We need change.
As a president, Jonathan attends redeemed camp, winners chapel at his leisure and we said we wanted change. However, buhari, from day 1, is abandoning state functions to go to mosque. Will this man not abadon Federal executive meeting to pray in the mosque. We want change not a change from patronising pastors to a change from patronising mosque especially during important state functions. The president can organise a thanksgiving on Friday but not while hosting president of other nations. He could have used that time to negotiate an important visa regime for nigerians but he started with frivolities. Don't tell me he put God first, remember what you said when jonathan visited winners chapel!
We need a deadline for power shortage and fuel crisis not amnesty programme. You can stop amnesty programme but how us that so important on the ist day if not for vendetta. It is so funny that nigerians are taking the peace in niger delta for granted now. When they busy bombing pipelines under general obasanjo, a senior to general buhari, you people were shouting. Now there is relative peace, the ist signal of the president is to stop it. Tell me how does amnesty significantly affect us like power and fuel to take prominence in the president first speech. Will this president not keep chasing shadows? We don't want a learning president. We need him to hit the ground from day 1.
So far so good, the president in action yesterday was still the president elect. No action yet just rhetorics. Even wike, A pdp governor immediately appointed chief judge, called back Julies berger and reinstated sacked people. That was a beautiful 1st day spent in office not a day spent in the mosque while we were watching with our generating set. Wether you like it or not, 24hrs is gone out of buhari's presidency and nothing, I mean nothing has changed so far. Today is another day though.
God bless MR PRESIDENT.
NB- I am yoruba, a non politician, a medical doctor with a business that needs light and fuel. Take note before you quote me. I am not a kid either so save that on your laptop and contribute intelligently only. |

[quote author=FastShipping post=34160839]I read everything from top to bottom. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala must be held responsible for the gross misconduct in the handling of our economy. She is just an economist on paper. She is grossly incompetent and corrupt. A situation where a minister of finance could not attend important meetings with the governors or giving the governors oral presentation on the state of the economy is a sign of incompetence and corruption. She has never presented the governors with facts written in black and white. From what Oshiomohle wrote, Okonjo Iweala has been avoiding the governors because she has been found wanting. Okonjo Iweala has been giving out waivers after waivers to importers. She has been depleting national treasury since the beginning of this administration. Ultimately, she has been spending and borrowing like a drunken sailor.
On the issue of oil theft, Jonathan and his cabals are responsible for that. How can oil theft be going on our waterways while Jonathan pays billions of naira to militants to secure the place?

skeendyke: It were better you just read the article and walked on than add more offense by polluting the air with your foul ignorance.
In the history of Nigeria, which democratically elected leader has handed over a paralyzed Nation to the other democratically elected leader as Jonathan's government? Has there ever been such utter negligence to be recorded on the part of the outgoing incumbent President as it is with Jonathan? This is the first and worst of its kind and hopefully the last. He just folds his hands and refuses to lift a finger to address the crisis sinking the Nation as he will be handing over in a few days.
You mentioned Tinubu inheriting a broken economy. It is clear I must be talking to someone born in 1993 upwards. You're just a kid with a smart phone and internet. Go and ask your parents or uncles and aunties who resided in Lagos during the military administration of Buba Marwa how he transformed Lagos, his achievements and innovations he introduced in Lagos at the time some of which are still helping the state economy till date. Compare the administration of Marwa in the state level with that of Jonathan in the federal level and see which is greater and better. You have google, don't you?
You also mentioned Obama and Tony Blair. I give up. You're utterly incorrigible and hopeless. I drop my pen here as I'm now fully convinced your head is impervious to learning. Pls stop calling somebody you don't know a kid...the line is becoming boring and it makes you appear more childish than the guy you castigate. Ok. We know jonathan is the worst president. We agree the economy is in shambles. Kindly tell me, why else do you think we voted for change? If the economy is not comatose, buhari would have lost the election. Buhari won election because of jonathan failure, he is a beneficiary of jonathan failure. He can't use the same failure of jonathan as an excuse for his own failure again...that is if he fails.

Graceovereffort: Doc,good day. Congrats on dis great acheivement. pls regards to stucco and spartini paints, whats their difference in terms of price,quality,durability and otherwise. thanks so sorry I got this late. Both are a bit more expensive than conventional paint but most people that patronise us are always attracted to that wall. It is like a magnet....everybody will always want to touch it. Out of everything we use for the house the best decision we took was that paint. It is so unique and I stopped giving out the number of the painters cos if everybody start doing it, it will lose the appeal. So go for it. People will talk about it. Stucco is so smooth if feels exactly like glass if you touch it. Both of them can be used for different patterns. Stucco is more expensive than spartini but spartini could be more beautiful and last longer but with rough surface. Stucco is not good for too much traffic. Both can be cleaned out with common foam and water. For a private property, use Stucco for sitting room, spartini for stairways. Like I said, can be very expensive, but I didn't regret it. Guess what? I even use stucco and spartini everywhere now. It is practically permanent but if you get tired of it, you can change the pattern or screed it back to white and put any paint you want but you can't remove it unless you screed it. One more advantage, it corrects every error on the wall. It is super smooth!!! My experience may be because of traffic though....we receive at least a hundred visitor everyday because it is a hospital so the paint added prestige to our business. people are competing for admission because of the beauty(LOL)....all our wards are almost always filled up |

Even if it is true, you must have had a disgrace of a wedding. You only need to hear what people would be saying behind you. I am not against your marriage but your wedding was not necessary with that budget. You invited 700 people only to starve them. You are not a good xtian. Cut your cloth according to your clothes you had no business inviting 700 people to come and witness the shame you called a wedding. Next time, invite your very close relatives only...maximum of ten. then you can come back to advice us here. With what you did, you are a bad manager of resources. I ma sorry to be so hard on you but that's the true. Nevertheless happy married life onismate: I have always been a good Christian. To me my faith permits marriage but I can’t just marry anybody. At 35, marriage was already on my mind. I need it, my body needs it. I have abstained from sex for too long. I had to do something before I fall into the evil hands of the sons of Lucifer. Even though my finances were a little bit low I prayed fervently to God to give me the right person.
Two weeks later I was returning from evangelism, I saw a very beautiful young lady preaching to some group of young menu in the neighbourhood. I decided to come closer to listen to her message very well. I began enjoying her message, she was so fluent. Her beauty didn’t attract me as such, what attracted me the most was her charisma and the way she preached. I decided to sit on one of the empty chairs at the back. After the message, I approached her, we exchanged pleasantries and introduced ourselves, I requested that I should walk her home and she agreed. We chatted and talked as I walked her home. I got to her house and we spent over 2 hours talking. I really enjoyed her company that I requested if we could do a joint evangelism together, she agreed.
As we go to evangelism together we became closer and fond of each other. I was not comfortable with our relationship as just friends. I wanted us to move to the next level.
Behold it happened. I asked her to marry me. She appreciated my courage but asked for little patience for her to go and pray to God about it. On my mind I was very sure that she is the right one for me.
A month later as we were going to visit some of our new converts, she broke the news to me. That she has agreed to marry me. I was just so happy about the good news.
We courted for about 6 months and started the preparations for the traditional rites. It proved a little difficult when we (me and my family) went to see her parents.
They insisted that all the drinks we must bring will be alcohol (ogogoro, sepe), because they are from isoko in Delta state. Isokos love taking alcohol a lot. I totally refused buying any alcohol because it’s outside my faith.
I gave them my own option of what I will do. I told them I can’t buy them alcohol, I will rather give them the money so they can make do with anyhow they like. They refused my offer, they still insisted that I must buy the alcohol if I must marry their daughter. I myself refused too, I told them that in fact I wasn’t interested in the marriage any more if I have to buy alcohol for them. Later on they called me back after 3 months. They said they don’t want anything to stand on their daughter’s way of happiness. They accepted my offer to take the money, and the traditional rites were completed.
We started planning our wedding immediately after the traditional rites, I didn’t want to waste much time about it. I had wanted it to be a month after the traditional rites. Even though I didn’t have much money for the wedding, I had to make do with the little I have. My “wife to be” had just graduated from the university some few months back. She was yet to get a job. I myself was an NCE holder and a class teacher. I only had about N50,000 in my account. I was determined to carry on with the wedding, to manage the little money I have, I had already told her we wouldn’t borrow or beg. We budgeted N30,000 for that wedding while the other N20,000 will be for our upkeep after the wedding while I wait for the result of the interview I did which I believe and sure I would pass very well because they had informed me that before the end of the month they would call me back for the appointment. It is a good, well-paying job. Not forgetting that my fiancé will look for job too to reduce the responsibility on me.
I was so sure that we would have much guests, even unwanted guests too, because it’s a village. I told fiancé is either we give them biscuits and drinks or rice and fish with water as refreshment. We had to cut our coat according to our material.
On the wedding day, our guess was actually right because we had over 700 people as guests including uninvited once. The whole reception hall was packed full. The wedding vows were taking in a scanty church. But the reception! It was a massive turnout.
We made a very beautiful small cake worth N2000, though we didn’t share it because it will not get to everybody. We kept it for just the traditional “Cutting of the cake.” After cutting it, our helpers took it away. Thank God we made use of rice and fresh fish, the people sharing just had to manage it little by little so it could get to everybody. It was 2 bags of rice.
We made available about 7 drums of water. After eating you take water. No drinks or meat were provided. Infact we didn’t have high table and chairman of the occasion.
Finally am happy I was married to the love of my life and the wedding was successful. To those who spent or are spending big budgets for wedding/marriage, borrowing for people to be impressed, at the end of the day all of us have one thing in common! Which is, “We all got married.”
