Anything on nairaland is no longer a secret.

I am asking the same question.

mrvitalis:
Jonathan administration was so bad that even the few good works he did are immersed deep in corruption
Jezz and some people will still come here to defend him.... .. Smh

Never jump into conclusion after hearing only one side of the story that a very big error.

Wait until you hear the other side of the story.

It's so unfortunate that most Nigerians failed to see through this party of liars and propagandists. The signs were everywhere to see but we failed to acknowledge the obvious and here we are now. Excuses upon excuses that is what we keep hearing and they can't offer anything different because that is their makeup; it's in their gene. See some few issues:

Qtn: Why has the govt failed to appoint ministers?

Ans: The past govt didn't submit handover notes on time.

Qtn: Now that the handover notes have been submitted what is now delaying the appointment of ministers?

Ans: The revelation in the report is shocking and the govt will need more time to study the report before going ahead with appointing minister.

Qtn: It's over 6 weeks now and no key govt appointments have been made. is the govt not too slow?

Ans: The rot left behind by the previous administration is so deep that the president is trying to clear the mess before appointing his ministers.

If you still believe the lies from APC then you need to examine yourself carefully. If this is not a sign of lack of direction and clueless then I don't know what it's? IT's painful that the open lies of the party is not evidence for all to see. Let everyman carry his cross.

Chai!!!!! I JUST LOVE THIS MAN!!!!

This is what we call leadership by example.

Buhari is a true leader.... no qualms

MUMU TaNoids will still complain about this ... dey no dey tire?

the guy below me needs b 2 given just 50 hot lashes publicly

You deserve 200 strokes. Tell Buhari to tell us his security votes and other allowances. They shd stop the deceit, the elections are over.

seunmsg:
Shows we now have a listening and accommodating president who doesn't see every protest as being sponsored by the opposition movement. If GEJ had listened to the outcry of the #BBOG movement early enough, maybe the girls would have been found by now.

Sorry for the gods! can you let us know how meeting with GEJ would have helped to get the girls? People just talk for the sake of it.

I really do not share in all your views. Some I reckon with but others I have a strong reservation. I think the idea that one man is what is wrong with Nigeria is totally false and also one man has the magic wand to solve all the problems is also a fallacy. The challenges in Nigeria are deep and they are both internal and external. We need to solve the internal before we move to solve the external.

The internal has to do with the people both the leaders and the followers. The leaders do what they do because the followers are docile and uninterested in the affairs of their nation so far their momentary needs are met. While the leaders understanding this exploit it to their benefits.

It was easy for the APC to ride to power because they understand the psyche of an average Nigeria. Filled with sentiments and hate, the average follower can be easily manipulated so far what he is hearing accords with his sentiment not minding the facts or reality. It's obviously with the bogus promises of the APC that they don't have a concrete plan for the Nation. Unachievable promises were made and yet no one questioned the ration or the logic we just believed and today the reality has set in. Empty treasury, I'm not a miracle worker, our party manifesto is not the bible or Quran and so can be changed, etc. A corrupt politician is celebrated in his community and protest organized to call for stoppage of his prosecution without due process to determine whether he is guilty or not and yet we demand a better Nigeria from our leaders. We must first purge ourselves of the poor mentally and orientation that just wants to grab everything without giving or service. We need to blame ourselves not the leaders because they are a reflection of us.

Nigeria will be great again whether as a single entity or dismembered entities but one thing stand no real development without the active participation of the people not just the leaders.

The boat is about to be rocked but the builders, the Americans and British are trying frantically to ensure that the government they put together through lies and propaganda is not rocked. But we are watching them patiently to see how everything will pan out. Those who build on lies and propaganda cannot reap anything different and their building will soon collapse due to its weak foundation. We are watching!!!!

THESE SO CALLED WANNABE SHOULD LEAVE Mr PRESIDENT ALONE, HE EVEN STARTED WORK BEFORE MAY 29


NOW THAT IS WHAT I CALL A SERIOUS PRESIDENT

Dreamer!!! Keep on dreaming instead of facing the reality you pretend that all is well. Don't worry very soon you will be awaken from your delusion.

Panshow:
Tambuwal, the master betrayer, you betrayed PDP and now you are betraying APC, because of your selfish ambition. May you live long to face the full wrath of Karma.

It's in the blood. He will do it again

IamPatriotic:
It will be criminal and wicked on the part of any state Governor to appropriate the bailout funds other than the payment of workers' salary.

Fayose is right. The money belongs to the federation and not the fed. govt like APC is saying. It can not be a bailout fund but an allocation from the federation account. The APC govt said they want to do things according to the law and not act arbitrarily like previous administration and so, the law states that all monies collected must be put into the federation account and shared on an agreed basis between the fed. govt, federating units and local govet.

Barselonia:
Here comes the change we are waiting for.......

Make I comment before gejite would attack me .....


This is just the beginning.....

Yes, increase in reserves is just one of the indicators, there are many more that are not looking good. let me mention a few, decaying infrastructure, unpaid salaries, high unemployment, import dependent, monoproduct economy, etc. You may add more.

philips70:
I have said it, even if baba go slow falls into coma for the next 4 years he will still be miles ahead of GEJ and the gang. Brace up for good times.

Goodluck Jonathan's Transformation Agenda which was unfortunately cut short by tribal sentiments

So sad, how did we miss this opportunity and gave a man who left active service 30 years ago to run the affair of this Nation.

I screamed my heart out to beg that we shouldn't make this very costly mistake but unfortunately, I met harden heart whose minds were already made up. They rather ridicule you and made jest, now the joke is on them. We will learn an important lesson from this episode. so sad!!!

Obijulius:
Jonathan is truly the best we have had.

His handlers were just a bunch of loafers.

Great job GEJ.
Good one Nigeria

How can a man revive a dead automobile industry and people have the audacity to say he didn't do anything.
it's so sad. how blind can a people be?

see the face of shame and scam. This is Bringbackourgirls espisode 2. We are watching the scam of life

Shame on Oby!!!!!!

fitzmayowa:
In as much as i gree with some part of your post, i would like to add PMB reserves the right to appoint whoever he deems fit that can perform on the job....

The main thing we should be after is the competence, performance and achievement of the new appointee on the job...IMHO

and you saying every senior officer at the DSS is incompetent. Please let call a spade a spade and stop twisting the facts. Why ignore the men at the DSS?

Dollyak:
I don't agree with the author. I think the northerners are the most suitable people for the job. In addition, he need someone he can trust for such a sensitive job and not a mere southerner who are not trustworthy.
In all seriousness, I genuinely hope they would serve the country in fairness and with dignity.

can you listen to yourself. "not like the southerner who are not trustworthy". What hypocrisy! So only the northerners can be trusted, it's obvious what part of the country you are from. Rubbish

NgeneUkwenu:
The man is incompetent, I tell you! As an economist myself, I know what I am saying!

I don't know. I will appreciate if you can provide more insight especially what you would have done differently.

Georgekyrian:
Atleast they got to thank him, for the ones he tried to release..

You are a wicked fellow. I hope when you will be in their shoes you will thank your employer for owing you seven months salary and paid only two. Doesn't Aregbe have any reason for owing them in the first place? The answer is capital No.

They should thank him for paying them their entitlement after working their ass out. This is wrong. How can we still be thinking like this, in advance society, Aregbe will simply resign.

There are lots of work that need to be done. We easily forget history. Exactly what happened during the Yar adua govt that virtually every thing stopped in govt to probe and review this or that and at the end Nigeria was worse off. The President needs to hit the ground running, there is no time for all this time wasting probes that yield no tangible result at the end. Nigeria is drifting and the govt needs to take charge and start moving the country in the right direction to foster a more serious problems.

kay29000:
Hmm! There is no Nigerian politician that is clean. Even Fashola, if probed, might be found guilty of corruption. With that said, we all know this Wike guy is all out to assassinate Amaechi's character by all means. I just pray Amaechi makes it out in one piece, cos this Wike guy is bent on denting him. Wike the wicked. Anyway, for the men out there,if you have problem lasting long in bed, hit me up on BBM- 7C22F6EC

The problem with Amaechi is that he talks too much and obviously have opened the door for these close scrutiny. Toward the end of his administration he made bold statements about the affair of the state that Wike will find it very difficult to run the state because of the poor finances and he forgot that he Amaechi was at the helm of affair and questions must be asked. A state that received over N2trillion was left bankrupt after his administration.

SarahBabyxx:
Instead of calling him an I'diot why don't you counter his points

Obviously Buhari can't be responsible for the state of the refineries in this short time but something definitely is not right. An independent investigation to tell Nigerians when the refineries were fixed and why they weren't used will help. Something obviously isn't right.

mu2sa2:
Buhari has never said at any time that he is poor. What he said at the time he got the nomination form was that he did not have 27 million cash, so he had to borrow to buy the form. lnfact Buhari is not a poor man, not with his pension and modest farm. He generates income from his farm and 150 cows. The only problem with the people attributing unsubstantiated wealth to Buhari is that they're judging him by their own standard- they assume that if they had the opportunity like Buhari has had to be in various public offices, they would have stolen billions- but these criminal-minded fellows know that Buhari has never been a thief.

Can we stop defending Buhari and allow him to do that himself. He made the promise to Nigerians to declare his assets; don't give excuses for him let wait until after the 100days. Buhari painted the picture of himself as a man with limited resources which obviously cannot be true of a man of his statue in a country like Nigeria. Do your investigation and allow Buhari to prove to Nigerians that indeed he is poor like he campaigned.

youngice:
Buhari has a farm and has land what is so strange about him having assets close to 5million dollars

And yet he had to go to the bank to borrow funds for nomination form. Wake up and use your brain don't be a blind follower.

Allow Buhari to defend himself.

ETHIX:
But would you have prefare the PDP govt ?

100 times over than deceit and lies

coldsummer:
I've always known that all along.

It was just a cheap stunt by PDP e warriors that are spreading that baseless rumours. FYI, they not on NL alone. They are everywhere squirting their havoc.

APC e-rat always believing everything. the news broke over two weeks ago and no one came out to refute it until now and all pictures published of the meetings never showed the VP in attendance. how long will you guys continue to allow APC to fool you.

you see nothing wrong in a govt after three weeks in power has not appointed key officials in preparation to start actualizing their promised change and yet everything seem normal. Just think what would have happened if it's GEJ in power. you guess is as good as mine.

wake up guy and stop dreaming.

richgang:
I don't understand Nigerians ooo, our president who is been truthful, told us the truth that at 72 he his old and you all are out here writing and saying gibberish because he told us the truth... For once if we see the color blue we should call it blue and not call blue white...

Modified: If you think Buhari is saying the truth hit like

Please read your post again. You are really a funny guy. if you want to accept a job, you must be fit both mentally and physically for the job and cannot after a few weeks of acceptting the job that your age will be an hindrance to your performance. The big question is: is Buhari just realizing that his age will affect his performance in office? I don't think so because it was a major issue during the election.

stop defending the indefensible! he should have been truthful during his campaign that his age will negatively impact on his performance in office not after winning the election.

I can't believe this is coming from APC that kept telling Nigerians the sorry state of our economy needing the clueless one to provide directions on how to appoint ministers. This is worse than clueless and a significant total unpreparedness despite the hope given to Nigerians. So, what have they been telling us about the economy? Na one chance be this ooooo

TheGoodJoe:
This has nothing to do with APC. Stealing is a corrupt act. It is a dishonest act for personal gain. GEJ saying opposite was wrong.

Stealing in law is not a corrupt act. For any act to be corrupt, the doer must have a legal authority that he/she abused for personal favour while stealing is totally different. Stealing involves the illegitimate dispossession of someone else property but the doer in this case doesn't have any legal authority. Where there is a legal authority in the case of govt officials then the case move from stealing to a corrupt act. There is a thin line but the different is in the one possessing legal authority and also corruption can take many forms including dispossession of a third party property, ghost workers, abuse of recruitment process, contract inflation, bribing a police officer, etc.

Don't get them confused as one. When one with authority uses the power conferred on them to steal money then that action is a corrupt act but when one without authority steal money then that act is stealing. For example, a bank manager steals money from his branch that is corruption while a bank robber is a thief and will be charge for stealing. I think this clarifies. Please, this is the legal position which is the reality.

Stealing and corruption can never be the same. Stealing is taking possession of valuable item/s that one doesn't have legal right to while corruption simply mean abuse of power which can be in different forms but the essence is in the abuse of authority. Are these term the same? Obviously not, stealing is a particular act that involves the dispossession of another of his right to his property/ies while corruption involve the use of legitimate authority to gain personal advantage. I beg let educate ourselves and free our mind of the shackles of chains holding us down and think like free people.

piagetskinner:
Whether it is different or not,u steal, the wrath of the law will catch up with u#Efcc is now awake to deal with anyone who partakes in looting spree.

The era of CLuelessNess is over
«<Sai Baba

Blind following is even worse than being clueless. The words in law are not treated in like manner and that you tell you that they are different.

Apc has successful fooled Nigeria and I hope our case will not be similar to that of Osun state. So unfortunate, we have so many educated illiterate.

blackpanda:
It was gej that dismissed the charges, not buhari. So get ur facts right

Please explain further how GEJ dropped the charges? Who was in charge when the charges were dropped?
