So what is the other mistakes of PMB that you have critiqued?

baralatie:
**sighs**
Of all the noticeable and blunt gaffes of Mr PMB.the critique is the election of Senate president saraki.
Obviously you have never critiqued PMB to perform better.
The only unfortunate thing is that when PMB is been told the truth of what to do and how it should be done.
To you loyalist is either hate or ethnical symantics and as a result PMB continue to either bundle his image or his cabinet bundles his image.
I keep saying if you guys don't tell him the truth and continue to do "OK sir" to bad precedence and wrong decisions.the bashings of his image both locally and internationally gets louder.it is not hate.
It is PMB faulty actions and inactions coupled with a bad record that literarily make his undoing!

freeze001:
Why shouldn't Saraki have been Senate President? Is he not fit to be one? Is he barred from aspiring for that office? Is the Senate not an independent arm of government? So why should buhari attempt to exert any undue influence on the NASS? Will that not be a manifestation of the corruption he is supposedly fighting?

So with all the madness going on that is the criticism you could raise? How about his continued silence and resultant inaction of the security agencies to curb thye fulani menace ravaging many areas of the SW, SE and NC? Do u see how gallant they are in investing cases of cattle rustling and arresting rustlers? Are cows now more relevant than humans? Na wa for una o!

baralatie:
Mention one thing you critize PMB for!

I keep saying make INA dey lie small small

Is Buhari doing well?

amtaken:
I voted wholeheartedly for the late Y'aradua because I believed in him. Does that answer your sill question?

amtaken:
Every non-criminal should walk free of course.

amtaken:
It's not done that way. State of emergency is only declared when the situation on ground is out of control.

In the instant case, the solution is quite simple: the Police should arrest Amechi, Dakuku and all their cohorts and they should be charged to court for murder and all the other crimes they perpetuated before, during and after the election. Once that is done, Rivers state will become even more peaceful than the ever peaceful Cross River State.

funkyibodude:
I will call PMB a useless president for one thing, if Amaechi is still remains a minister after this Rivers elections...

ugolance:
The truth is that d guy is still living in a fools paradise. Not with the current situation Apc has plunged Nigeria will any right thinking man vote them especially in Niger delta region which is the most hit. Amaechi is a Capital illusionist who thinks he's still popular and has met his waterloo in the hands of Wike who has been winning him since inception. Even with his so-called federal contacts he can't even rig that's to show u that he talks more than he acts, while Wike Acts more than he talks.

TonyeBarcanista:
Let me start by saying that as an indigene of Rivers state, I am ashamed of the news coming from my state as we prepare for the scheduled National Assembly and the State House of Assembly rerun elections. An election that is supposed to be a political contest has become a bloody warfare. It is a shame that the political gladiators and major stakeholders are more interested in scoring political points with deaths and instigating violence instead of using the powers at their disposal to nip the violence that has brought shame to the state to the bud. Nyesome Wike is the incumbent Governor, his position isn't up for grab, Rotimi Amaechi is the minister representing Rivers state in the federal excutive council, his position isn't on the line, yet statements credited to them are but a shame.

Both Amaechi And Wike Are Gainers, None Is A Loser
Anyway, my concern is the set of supporters and youths that allowed themselves to be used as a tool to settle scores on behalf of politicians. I have monitored the stories of the Rivers violence and the victims carefully, I saw NO single victim that is related to Mr Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nyesom Wike. Hundred percent of the victims are either tagged "APC Supporters/Chieftains" or "PDP Supporters/Chieftains". I checked again to see who the biggest beneficiaries will be in the contest and the names of Amaechi and Wike propped up. It is a fact that irrespective of how the election goes, neither of Amaechi nor Wike will lose completely. Wike will still be Governor, Amaechi will still be minister and is guaranteed life mouth-watering benefits from Rivers state's purse as a former Governor. The losers are always the victims and merchinaries of political violence.

The Gladiators We Kill For Have Ways of Uniting
History has shown that politicians in Nigeria are never enemies. They always have a way of stoking violence between supporters and they still have a way of coming together to share the booty without recourse to ANY of their supporter nor victims. I will give a few instances....

Between 2002 and 2003, then PDP's Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso supporters clashed with those of ANPP's Presidential Aspirant Muhammadu Buhari and ANPP's Governorship candidate Ibrahim Shekarau, people lost their lives in the process. However, thsame gladiators that people died and got injured for between 2002 and 2003 made up in 2013 and united under APC broom. Today, Buhari is the President under APC platform while Kwankwaso is a Senator under same APC platform. What did those that died for them between 2002-2003 got? Any insurance for them?

In Ekiti state between 2006 and 2013, supporters of PDP's Gov Segun Oni and AC/ACN's Kayode Fayemi engaged themselves in bloody clash in Ekiti state, people lost their lives and properties. The same gladiators that people died for between 2006 and 2013 made up in 2014 when Segun Oni joined APC. Today, Fayemi is a minister under APC government, while Oni is the acting National Chairman of APC. What did the families of the victim got? What did the victim got? Any insurance?

In Osun state, PDP's exGov Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Governor Rauf Aregbesola's supporters repeatedly clashed between 2006 and 2010, several lives were lost in the process. Today, same political gladiators are best of pals in APC. Oyinlola even nominated some appointees to Aregbesola. Who loses? The victims or gladiators?

Some of us may remember the bloody clash between PDP's Adebayo Akala supporters and Ajibola Ajimobi in 2007(ANPP) and 2011(ACN). There were even picket of clashes in 2015 when both battled each other the third time for the state's number one seat, as usual lives were lost. But what do we have today? Akala is an APC Chieftain and an ally of Ajimobi. What did their supporters and victims get? Who loses?

Even in Rivers state, I could recall how Wike/Amaechi fought with Omehia group in 2007. Today, Wike and Omehia are pals, Omehia receives full estacodes of exGovernor, but Amaechi and Wike are dramatising to be foes. Since their supporters started clashing, who has been losing among them? Wike is a Governor, Amaechi is a minister, Peterside is DG NIMASA. What did the victims of the violence get? We all know that "something" awaits the losing candidates for the rerun election either in the federal level or state level as the case may be. What awaits the victims of the violence and their families? In fact, Wike will always pay Amaechi his entitlement as former Governor.

Should I remind all that even at the peak of clash between then Lagos state Gov Tinubu(AD/AC) and then Works minister Seye Ogunlewe, Gov Tinubu still appointed Ogunlewe(PDP)'s brother as his Head of Service? What compensation did their victims get? Even when Musliu Obanikoro's supporters and those of Bode George were killing themselves in 2007, both men still got "something" for their troubles. Bode was retained as NPA Chairman, while Obanikoro was appointed an Ambassador to Ghana. What did their footsoldiers and victims of attacks get other than Obituary and Gone Too Soon?

NO political gladiator is worth the blood of any poor Nigerian. Why should we kill ourselves for them when we are aware that they always have a way of settling each other? Did Fayose not openly supported Fayemi for juicy ministerial appointment of recent? Is it not time for the youths to be wise?

Young people and citizens of Nigeria should always be passionate about positive political ideologies that will advance the cause of our country irrespective of political leaning, and not cheer the gladiators when they pitch us against each other.

As for the Rivers poll, though I want my party to win the rerun, I shall not support winning through violence of any form. I want a #PeacefulRivers and not a #BloodyRivers. I want a Rivers that I can be proud to call my state.


This epistle should be more than enough for the wise!!!

When we buy foreign goods we indirectly pay a foreign labourer. . .
When we buy foreign goods we indirectly buy foreign raw material. . .
When we buy foreign goods we indirectly buy a foreign patent. . .
When we buy foreign goods we indirectly pay a foreign economy tax. . .
When we buy foreign goods we directly pass our capital to a foreigner whose less likely to pass it back to us. . .
Promote, support and buy Naija-made goods . . .

TBH, I am now convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Nigeria's problems is beyond leadership, but a societal one. Are we just intellectually deficient or chronically prejudiced.

This was an interview where the Minister was specifically asked about the exchange rate situation. He tried to explain the factors that influence the rate making reference to oil price. He simply said the SITUATION (exchange rate) was beyond the president since he does not control oil price. He never said the ECONOMY was beyond the President’s control as misrepresented by the media.
---
How the media gets away with such mischief is beyond me. Worse still is the fact that 80% of readers do not even notice this distortion of facts. These are people that will later assume leadership positions. With such shallowness among citizens, the future is even more uncertain.

magicalx:
2years ke? For what when the first 9months Are like this, he should just resign.

enomakos:
ok i no go complain
then sent me #2,000 make i take buy fuel

enomakos:
wait for what?is 9 months too long to change things?
Tell the president to leave that seat for me for 3months and nigerians go see wonders

steve13:
Did you really say we don't have a choice ?so we can all die? You are very stupi.d

AreaFada2:
True@9months. But he has undone many years of economic growth with his bad diplomacy. Calling your country corrupt all the place abroad.
Draconian policies.
With low oil price, sound policies are needed. Should be way sounder than PDP/GEJ's that they lambasted so much in opposition.

But like IBB said, GMB doesn't listen. Attempts go gently nudge him for correction only make him even harder.

After 9 months, Lai Mohammed has already come clean that Buhari has already lost control of the economy.

Is that news that should the suffering masses hope.

coolscott:
If we have retrogressed this much in 9 months, if Buhari and the administration do not start getting it right, how bad do you think things will be in 2 years time? How bad will things be if we don't criticize the free fall?
