barcanista:
Goodmorning fellow Nigerians, Nairalanders and Guests of this forum. Today (June 29) marks the second month of the life of Buhari's administration. I have therefore taken the step of matching some of his campaign promises with the reality on ground two months into his Presidency (Happy Reading).

1. Failure To End Boko-Haram As Promised:
During Buhari's Jan 22, 2015 campaign for the Presidency in Imo state, he made a pledge/promise to end Boko Haram insurgency within TWO months if elected. In his own words...

“If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/polls-campaign-promises-great-expectations/

Unfortunately, contrary to his assurance the BH terrorists has neither been chased out nor is there any significant improvement in this fight.

2. Failure To BringBackChibokGirls:
On August 11, 2014, the Northern Elders Forum gave then President Jonathan a TWO month deadline to BringBackChibokGirls. According to them, failure to return the Chibok girls within the time frame automatically means forfeiture of Jonathan's right to seek re-election in the March 2015 poll. In their own words..

“In the event that President Jonathan fails to do this, Nigerians will be left with the only conclusion that he has forfeited his right to ask for our mandate beyond 2015.”
www.leadership.ng/news/380738/northern-elders-give-jonathan-2-month-ultimatum-produce-chibok-girls-end-insurgency

Buhari promised to reunite the missing girls with their families..

"I will give all it takes to ensure that our girls that were kidnapped from Chibok are rescued and reunited with their families." (President Muhammadu Buhari, March 2015)

Though he never fixed a timeline, I believe it is fair that he inherits the 2months deadline given to Goodluck Jonathan by Northern Elders Forum. His failure to return the school girls after two months in power should therefore means a forfeiture of his right to extend his mandate beyond 2019 in line with the NEF scale.

3. The Failure of Him and His Appointees To Publicly Declare Their Assets:

“I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment."
www.dailypost.ng/2015/02/20/buhari-pledges-publicly-declare-assets-voted-office/

Those were the words of Muhammadu Buhari in his February 25 pledge. Unfortunately, it's been TWO months since taken over and we are yet to see the Assets of the President and his Vice. More painful is the fact that NONE of the President's appointees (Shehu Garba, Femi Adesina, NSA Moguno, Accountant-General etc) has declared their assets PUBLICLY contrary to his pledge of "as a pre-condition for appointment.".

4. Failure To Commence/Implement Other Programs:
It is unfortunate that two months into this administration, no one is talking about other Buhari promises like the 12 months post service payments for Corp members and feeding of primary school pupils. There is no mechanism in place to ensure that monthly N5000 payment to the elderly, disabled and the unemployed.

It is worthy to note that Buhari is yet to achieve ANY of his campaign promises. Though I never voted President Buhari at the March 28 poll, I believe that it is the right of every citizen irrespective of party or religious affiliation to hold the government accountable. I also believe that we (critics) are doing the APC favor by our constant criticisms. In fact, the APC on April 30 through its Chairman, Chief John Oyegun admonished the opposition to constantly keep the APC/Buhari government on their toes. In his own word...

“We(APC) want the PDP to keep us on our toes so that we don’t make the same mistake they made.”
www.thenationonlineng.net/oyegun-to-pdp-keep-us-on-our-toes/

God sparing our lives, we shall continue to keep them on their toes.


May God Bless Us All

sureguy02:
Have you been writing ICAN exams for ages? The following tips might help you succeed this time.

1. Change your mindset/orientation: Many people are of the belief that ICAN has set out to fail students in order to keep collecting exam fees from them. This notion is at best the greatest lie of the 21st century. I have friends that passed all the exams at first attempt. If they could, you can. You need to change your mindset about this. ICAN will not deny you of your success if you merit it.

2. Prepare ahead: One secret to achieving success in life is to prepare ahead. It is never too early to start your preparation. You should start preparing for the next diet even before the results of those papers you just wrote are released.

3. Adequate coverage of the syllabus: If you always read the examiners report, you would have discovered that the examiners keep complaining that candidates do not cover the syllabus. Never try to guess the areas that will be tested. You need to cover every inch of the syllabus. If you are writing financial reporting exams, make sure you cover all the IFRSs and IASs that will be tested. It is better to go into the exam knowing a reasonable amount about most of the syllabus rather than concentrating on a few topics to the exclusion of the rest.

4. Use the right resources: I cannot overemphasize this part. Make sure you use the right materials in your preparation. You can easily download ICAN materials on their website. Try to combine them with ACCA materials because I have noticed that they are beginning to set their questions in a manner similar to that of ACCA. You can also watch free videos on www.opentuition.com. BPP and Kaplan materials are good.

5. Practice tons of past questions: Try to practise as many past questions as you can lay your hands upon. Questions are not manufactured from thin air. They are rather adapted from past questions, recycled and modified to reflect current circumstances. Past questions will get you acclimatised to the pattern in setting questions over the years. You can download ACCA past questions for additional practise. You could possibly download all the pathfinders on the ICAN website.You will get to know the common pitfalls of students by going through them. Practising as many exam-style questions as possible will be the key to passing ICAN exams. You must do questions under timed conditions and ensure you write full answers to the discussion parts as well as doing the calculations

6. Attend the right tutorial: There are many tuition houses out there claiming to be the best. Please make sure you gauge them very well before making your decision. I recommend PYE, Risk-Free and Wyse because I know they are very good. I personally believe in self-study though. I always read for professional exams on my own. But that is partly because I have an accounting background. Please attend tutorials if you think you need it.

7. Study Buddies: You can reach out to those writing the same papers as you.You can form study groups and meet to revise and practise questons. Make sure you team up with the right people, or else...

8. Pray as if you will not read and study as if you will not pray: If you believe in God, please make sure you pray as if your life depends on it. I cannot rule out the fact that prayer changes things. You need God's help to succeed, not only in ICAN exams but in every aspect of your life.

9. Composure on the exam day: Make sure you are composed on the days of the exam. Do not fidget. Try to get to the venue as early as possible. For the exam proper, make sure you allocate your time effectively and attempt every part of every question you have chosen to answer. Think carefully before you pick from the optional questions. Make sure you write legibly. There will always be some easy marks. Go for them before the complicated ones. Also, you must also follow the requirements of each question exactly.

10. Post-exam: Make sure you do not feel bad after the exam. Just forget about it. If you found it difficult, chances are that other candidates did too. Start preparing for the next one if it is not your last paper for the diet. Also do not try to compare your answers with those of other candidates. There is nothing you can do to change what you have written. The only thing to do now is to pray.

[size=18pt]FOR THE MASTURBATING MASTURBATORS WHO BELIEVE IN MUMU.HARI'S GOVT.....

MAY GOD RUN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND PROGRESS THE WAY BUHARI IS RUNNING THE AFFAIRS OF THIS COUNTRY!

IF YOU ARE DARING...SAY AMEN![/size]

Buchukwu:
Since buhari has seen we are serious about having our own country,if he's reasonable he should set up a committee to negotiate the peaceful dissolution of Nigeria, If it's oil, they can take the damn oil and gas in Enugu, Aba, Imo, Anambra,Ebonyi etc. DO YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE OIL, GAS AND COAL IN THESE STATES BUT THEY CHANNEL OIL PIPELINES FROM THOSE STATES TO NIGER DELTA SO AS TO CREATE ENEMITY BETWEEN IGBOS AND NIGER DELTANS AND MAKE NIGER DELTANS THINK WE WANT THEIR OIL. MOST OF THE SO CALLED OIL PEOPLE THINK COMES FROM NIGER DELTA ACTUALLY COME FROM IGBO LAND.
We don't need the damn thing to survive, we just want to be free. Mehn Nnamdi kanu ain't joking, he has weapons and powerful bombs and war planes stalked away somewhere, i've seen things myself. Nigeria didn't defeat us in 1967, the whole world did. They should know that the world is advanced. 1967 aint 2015. Buhari and these so-called leaders should know they can't run cos they and their children, grand-children and great grand-children will be killed anywhere they run to in this world. IPOB is everywhere. Buhari said Nnamdi kanu lied? Did buhari not say he'll islamise everybody in Nigeria? Is buhari not a rapist? Is he not the sponsor of bokoharam? When buhari was 45, did buhari not rape Aisha when she was just 9 years old? Which sane human beign does that?

THE ZOO MUST FALL

nigerianvenom:
Yes.
He's not a lagosian,so he should go contest as a governor in ondo

icemann:
Let me answer you with your analogy. When al qaeda attacked NY, London, Boston, Madrid etc did the president or prime minister resign? And you think you made a valid point.

Do you think the sponsors of terrorist organisation are looking for ROI (return on investments)? Their only joy is he panic and publicity you give them. Take an example the brig back our girls campaign, It elevated boko haram to a NO 3 terrorist organization thanks to the publicity and guess what? the sponsors are happy and the attacks has quadruple since then. Keep giving the terrorist valid points to gain more sponsorship.

menabadoo:
my point also.

buhari will get emotional.

Lachynos2k2:
u blame everything on GEJ,even when ur landlord is sleeping with ur wife..u shld blame ur miniature joystick.

ratiken:
Anyday the northern elders and Buhari decide to call their boys to order... Bokoharam will be history.

Until then, anything to discredit GEJ is part of the game plan to make the country ungovernable as promised. RIP to the dead.

Ebubeslym:


What is really wrong with this phiphul?
you bomb today
you bomb tomorrow
you bombed yesterday..
and you aint satisfied yet

and yet some persons will.keep shouting
sai buhari

when some elements from his region swore to keep blowing up a part of the country he wants to govern...
and all he has to say is that once elected everything will change...


well i hope there will still be living people in the northeast come next yr..




yeye dey smell

chiefinalowo:
No problem sister.
We will all live to see the day.
I can not wait for APC to be dislodged from Rivers State.
I am tired of residing in a State govern by APC.

deenee:
I am tempted to coment but I will refrain because there are a lot of people that are still in the dark, have tunnel understanding of how and why such decisions are taken and still base their arguements along political, tribal and religous sentiments.

I read some of the comments herein and still wonder where we have got it wrong. Is it with the educational system or the fact that we tend to value short term benefit over long term gratification.

If this decision was taken in the US under similar circumstances we will all applaud it but because its Nigeria, there is outrage.

May God open our eyes of understanding esp that of the youth our future leaders and God bless Nigeria.

Wetin dis one dey talk. Rubish

mrborntodoit:
Only if the gullible south westerners blindly lead their generation to vote for Buhari ,then the north would succeed in islamizing Nigeria by killing all the infidels including south western Christians and simple Muslims . Nigeria is at the brink of a religious war fueled by politics, tribalism and ethnic segregation .

brainpower:
Who still takes Sahara Reporters seriously? This is the kind of reaction they expected when they released this news that's after running it through their sponsors. The head of Sahara Reporters have come out openly to voice his opinion about the govt saying the govt is the worst thereby confirming that he isn't a supporter of the govt in this vain he would do anything to prove his assertions that the govt is bad to make sure he isn't put to shame and is proved right, therefore they are no longer supposed to be a media house you go to if you want to get an unbiased news about the country. This isn't about being a supporter of GEJ or not, it is about the normal reasoning of a human being except you are biased too, I used to give them some credit until last 2weeks after the 5million dollars house issues and his comments thereafter. If you are bringing media houses to stand as judges for anything partaining governance in this country, I think where others are still trying not to take sides, Saharareporters has shown that its already taking sides. Therefore isn't qualified to stand.

I know they have their sources of information, but I will wait till the Chadian Govt comes out to deny this report, very soon the loopholes in this report will be clear.when they deny it, then I will comment.

teemanbastos:
is dis nt d chadian presido jonathan went dining with..??
Jonathan na bokoharam sponsor

MudRaker:
Only the north, southwest and middle belt will not know peace

If amaechi thinks he can start nonsense in Rivers then he is truly mad

Yomieluv:
Why won't they,when they are busy sacrificing their youths for selfish interest,all in the name of making the country ungovernable,since a northerner isn't at the helm of affair..

Innodon:
Plan well executed. ....There ha been a plan put in place, They never intended for Nigeria to go the Nations Cup because of Fear of Ebola. ..This is as simple as ABCD.

Sibabasibaba1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The future of his unborn child will be worse if he voted someone who ruled his grand father 30 years ago. In fact his unborn child will not forgive him for not giving him a future if all he could do was to return to power the man who messed up the future of Nigeria throug
h the barrel of the gun 30 years ago.

Temptee101:
And to think that thunder did not fire his mouth after such statment is still unbelieveable. This same eediot wanted to impeach his boss (the bigger eediot) during their tenure in office. He should have said they have agreed to sell of this country.

Say NO to APC

Say NO to Atiku

Say NO to buhari

This crooks are only interested in seizing power by force whether by hook or crook. Yes GEJ is not the messiah we want but he is way better than them all put together. For the ist time i say...GEJ till 2019

komek:
And its one of the characteristics of demo cracy.
