Osinbajo was part of the committee on kaduna crisis, yes. We needed the president to make his presence felt at the scene of crisis. Buhari never thought it fit, we know how long it took to even condemn the wanton killing. Osinbajo just filled in that vacuum, not as a committee member, but as a president.

The mistakes of this administration weren't jointly made. Examples are the demeaning publicity Buhari gave us internationally during his foreign trips, the vacuum at the head of the judiciary, the mass killing of protesters, his personal stance towards appointment of minister who he deemed as noise makers, and his personal stance towards ND and IPob agitation. The problems I mentioned above has seen a different approach since Buhari left for London.

As to education. GEJ is an example you will want to make cos of his perceived failures in handling the Nigerian project. But we all know that GEJ in his failures operated a more acceptable and tolerable government than the hardlined Buhari style of Government. If u watched the presidential media chat, you will know the need to have an educated and enlightened president, because in that chat, Buhari betrayed all his illiteracy while making his prejudiced opinion the official opinion of the FG on matters like IPOB, Dasuki and Forex. These issues are already seeing some changes now, cos Osinbajo can never make those unlawful utterances being learned.

You made salient points but most of these things you mentioned are subjective topics.

1. I agree that the president has very poor publicity etiquette. Well, it is his personality. Trump equally does.. GEJ was better but still had his off days. Example was his stealing is not corruption statement.

2. The vacuum at the judiciary? Onnoghen was a subject of certain controversies. He needed to be scrutinized before been confirmed...

3. IPOB and Niger Delta were phenomena that were brought up to spite the administration. Militants have stopped blowing pipelines even before Osinbanjo became the Acting President.

4. As per forex, Osinbanjo has always been the head of the economic committee, why hasn't he suggested the present action before. The truth is that they waited for the reserves to hit $30B before tackling the forex issue. In fact, many economists still feel that the present action isn't the ideal solution.

All in all, Osinbanjo is no match for Buhari. He is a professor, one won't expect less.. But then Buhari isn't as bad as some people suggest. Save for his poor publicity etiquette and his hard line approach (given his military background), he is still a well-meaning president. At least, he is not corrupt. That has always been our major issue. But with Osinbanjo we have a broader option. So both are useful in whatever way we look at it.

Montaque:
Do what is commendable and men will praise you; despite ur origin. I saw the difference in Nigeria in the last two weeks and I must confess that PYO is trying, and I will support him to carry on.
The problem is that we want to close our eyes to the ineptitude of his superior, that's ur cup of tea. You may see tribalism and hate in what we say about Buhari, but the man hasn't redeemed his image one bit.
Osinbajo is yet to hire media aides and the ones appointed by Buhari hasn't drummed support for him, yet we see his works and praise him.
Buhari that's a northerner, has he taken time to visit southern kaduna? But southerners hold that as his duty, despite the fact we aren't affected. Just agree that Buhari never presided over Nigeria as a real President will do, Osinbajo is highlighting the difference between a leader and a ruler.

You didn't read my comment properly. Because if you do, you would have noted that I insisted that Osinbajo has always been the more active of the two. I am not a northerner FYI. Nevertheless, I supported Buhari's presidency majorly because I was awed by Osinbajo's narratives during one pre-election interview. My point is that trying to pinpoint to the fact that Osinbajo is better than Buhari is needless. All the mistakes this administration have made were made by both of them. So, whatever praise anyone of them gets should extend two the other. As regard Southern Kaduna, Osinbajo was part of the committee that was set up to find solutions to the endless crisis. Osinbajo is more active, agile and healthier than Buhari. That's also a point worth noting, not necessarily Education. GEJ had PhD, yet couldn't deliver much!

sekundosekundo:
Listen to your President.

"Igbos gave me only 5% votes, they should not expect anything from my govnt".

Can you tell me who started the hate speech.
Bearing in mind that it is constitutional to vote for any candidate of your choice.

The man has his own shii.. But the hate has been even before the election and even more prominent during the election.

EazyMoh:
The only foreseeable president from Igbo extraction is Rochas. The earlier they start supporting him the better.

Many of them don't understand this. In fact, according to them he is okoroawusa

obaoyedotun:
. Should sambo be given opportunity an he acts better we would love him, no one is concerned about who is there, the country matters more sire

Guess the country never mattered when GEJ was president abi?

plaetton:
Funny enough, Osinbajo neither employs nor needs an army of paid E-zombies to whitewash or image launder him on and offline.
In just a month, he has steadfastly endeared himself to the hearts of millions of Nigerians, especially those of us disgusted with the idiotic leadership of Buhari.

That previous bashers of Buhari and APC are now praising Osinbajo ought to tell you that we are actually more objective and patriotic in our harsh criticism of Buhari than you are in defending his pathetic leadership and administrative shortcomings.

It's funny that it takes just one month of Osinbajo to show us how really useless Buhari has been in the last 2 yrs.

Right now, there is no reason for Buhari to come back, and I know that I am echoing the sentiments of the majority of the Nigerian people.

The problem has never been Buhari. Osibanjo has always been more active than Buhari right from start. If I can remember, he was nicknamed 'messenger' before now. But now I guess he is no longer a Messenger abi? Most of your ilks that hate Buhari do so based on sentimental grounds. Some because he is a Muslim, others because he is a Northerner. In fact, some are still yet to receive the 2015 defeat in good heart. I bet many of you Jonathan's apologists wouldn't have equally loved Sambo being a president. Simply because he is a Northerner Muslim. The tribal and religious hate is real in Nigeria. ...

See this op sha... Come Osogbo, Osun state. Hardly will you count 10 guys without seeing at least 7 Yahoo Boys.. .

The thirst for public funds is making these old men misbehave. Advanced PDP ? These people are uncautiously crazy!

Arnoldo:
regardless of d formation he has always been a good player.during mourinhos last season at chelsea moses was our best preseason player but was not given a chance

He is good, yes. But he wouldn't have gotten a chance without the formation. He was even considered to be offloaded again on loan before Conte felt he could be useful in his ideal formation. That's not even his usual position.

Hardwork and tenacity pay! He got lucky tho, cos if it wasn't for Conte's formation, he would have been somewhere battling for relegation.

SalamRushdie:
A lot of us doubted the ability of the VP in the past most likely because his silence and non interference approach to Buhari's poor decisions..The VP of any country is akin to a spare tyre and you will never know how strong and durable you spare tyre is till you have a flat tyre and use it ...such is the case in Nigeria now

You are very wrong! Osinbajo has been more active than Buhari right from the start. All these comparisons upandan are unfair. Osinbajo came in at a time, certain policies were beginning to materialize the expected dividends.

olaskul:
What are you talking abt
D'banj is the ambassador for slot, glo, bank of industry (BOI), beat bu dre, apple, world bank, unn, aand countless of others. His song is the second most downloaded on youtube.. what do you want agin despite all dis he never for once siad he is bigger than any endorsement.

Stop this delusion. Don J is richer than Dbanj. No be only by endorsement.

Kentura:
2cor 8:9
Christ became poor so that we might through his poverty become rich... If the various promises of Christianity does not include wealth and riches, most of these pastors would be atheists by now.. do you think if you cultivate in God's vineyard He will leave you empty handed?

It's the same God that sent them on this journey, that blessed and made them extremely rich..


You are mere mortal,
God knows everything so leave the judgement for him..

So why are most church workers poor? Nd are you saying all the monies made by the pastors are 'clean monies'? Most of them are sponsored by corrupt elements. So save us from the God' s blessings propaganda'.

Let me grant you and Abdulazeez007 a free lesson this morning...

1)If there's Biafra today, there will be terms of separation internationally monitored, supervised & implemented...

2)Biafra will become NEWEST ECOWAS country at birth with FREE ENTRY, FREE MOVEMENT, FREE EXIT, FREE BUSINESS ECONOMY and other FREEBIES associated with the union members... meaning irrespective of residential aboard, there business interests is guaranteed and protected

3)As at today, there businesses are scattered in many African countries and they are dominant in some sectors in those countries eg motor parts in Ivory coast etc... meaning businesses isn't determined by your colour or tribe but what's in your skull and pocket...

4)So NOBODY will leave ANYTHING for ANYBODY if there's Biafra today and there's choice of nationality cum nationalization for all till tomorrow...STOP THE LIES...STOP CELEBRATING IGNORANCE...STOP THE HATRED... STOP BIAFRAPHOBIA...FACE YOUR LIFE; ALLOW OTHERS LIVE THEIR LIVES...

Before you get to spread your falsehood to innocent lots, please kindly make a research on South Sudan and Sudan. Una go hear wee. Ecowas my foot!

Did he tell you the location of where he works?

If you see a one bedroom flat for N400K but you decide to go for the one of N1 whose business is it? FYI check out the prices of flats for rent around the area mentioned, stop giving false information

https://www.nigeriapropertycentre.com/for-rent/flats-apartments/lagos/lekki/showtype?bedrooms=1

For Ikeja, these are the prices to expect:

In most other parts of Nigeria rent is cheaper(except in Abuja)

As for the recession part go and read the attached link about Buhari's administration in 1984 then come back and discuss, I posted that link to show you that what happened then and now is not a coincidence

Sis, you get wahala big time. You made few salient points at the beginning, but in the last two pages you just been blabbing and arguing blindly. Most of these people are more experienced than you on this issue. You v made your points, why not allow others who have witnessed the two sides of the coins to make theirs?

And about the issue of recession, it's either you deliberately choose to be ignorant or you are just trying to outsmart facts. Recession don't just appear within a year, madam.

amanikondo:
Are you okay?

Do you know how many people obama killed?

Trump is already jeopardizing the lives of millions with his reckless lifestyle.

waternogetenemy:
Trump put a call to Jacob Zuma in South Africa.

Buhari ran to Britain since Trump was sworn into Office and have remained there like a man on self imposed exile.

Osinbanjo is Acting President.

Now tell me how Trump left the sitting President in Nigeria and called Britain?

U want to deny that Briatin was involved in the set up?

How did you get yourself so immersed in hate that you can't even think straight any longer? . Bros, you need quick brain reset before it's too late. U might even be a kid sef

seguno2:
Thanks.
The above is the reason that Jonathan was better than Buhari and his predecessors.
He understood the importance of economic management and listened to technocrats while SYSTEMATICALLY addressing corruption.
Buhari is clueless on the economy and WORSE on corruption despite making useless noise without any court process leading to convictions.
Only those easily excited and incapable of thinking
deeply will say that Buhari is fighting corruption.
A man who budgeted more money for the Aso Rock clinic than all Teaching hospitals combined. A sick old man who heads to London for treatment after banning government officials from doing the same is corruption exemplified.
Corruption cannot fight itself.

What are u saying now? Is it that you are dumb or u just like being foolish? Did they receive the same proceedings on oil? On normal grounds, GEJ had the chance to be the best president Nigeria ever had because he ruled during a period in which oil was at its most Lucrative in international market. Even with all the technocrats he assembled, what progress did the country make under him. All we were hearing were paper-facts and mass corruption. I don't understand why you guys keep on defending someone whose best performance was peacefully handing over power to the opposition. Chai!

Biafrarep:
TOTAL HOGWASH! Nothing of substance here only noise and spittle. What a wasted generation, instead of being sobber, considering the maximum damage these vagabonds are doing to Nigeria & its citizens, yet the same youths that should be asking questions are busy supporting them blindly. We knew the condition of this country before the paris club granted us pardon, then we were using a huge percentage of our revenue to service the debt. Buhari and his cohorts are a curse on Nigeria. The damage will become clear when they leave.

Oga, the problem is not in borrowing. The problem is making the best use of the bond. If our infrastructures and power can improve, paying back won't be so difficult. Even USA dey borrow. Just that Nigerian politicians are something else.

Ihavespoken:
Our reserve is at $28 billion and we are borrowing $1 billion.

Can Buhari explain this?

Bros simple Economics for God sake. The last time our reserve slumped to like $20 billion, do you know how deep our economy crashed? Now imagine they keep spending from the same reserve, don't u think the economy will become "Zimbabwenize"?

morscino:
Fayose is an enemy of progress who only wants to score cheap political points.only fools and enemies of progress like him,swallows all his words without thinking.
All govt. all over d world borrow,d question is not whether to borrow or not, but d question is how d borrowed funds would be utilized.
Its like two ppl borrowing money, one wants to use his to throw a party,while d other want to use his to build a house, which would be rented out to tenants.
The PDP threw parties with d money they generated and borrowed,but judging by d num of capital projects currently being embarked upon by d APC govt,I am confident if they borrow,paying back wont be a problem,as Infrastructural development would attract more investments which would increase d nations GDP and subsequently better our economy.

Person wey no Sabi basic ethics na hin u dey mind.. I wonder how a very slow human being like that can get to rule over the arguably most literate state in the country. It shows how bad our nation has degenerated.

Something is definitely not right somewhere

Sure! It has to be different now since the man is from your region.. If it was a man from the other side, I bet your comment would have been much more different.
