Shut up! Gej himself said boko haram are his brothers and he can't send the army to wipe them out. We can all see how he benefitted from boko haram!

Nobody cares about PMB being criticised by hypocrites who know nothing other than saying trash and dishing out empty threats

Jeez!! No wonder you clowns up north are this GULLIBLE! GEJ said he cant send the army to wipe them out? Who the hell fed you folks with that pile of crap?

And if nobody cared about us calling PMB out for his gross incompetence and cluelessness, why are you clowns complaining about the criticisms of your Daura "messiah"

abduljabbar4:
You would do the same if boko haram attacks your region while your president is somewhere dancing. It was purely based on that

Oh please!! Are your leaders not the ones that failed to invest in education thus creating a massive recruitment pool of illiterates for Boko Haram? Same northern elders that kicked against GEJs move to go against those terrorists? Same leaders that kept spreading the lie that GEJ, a Christian man, was responsible for creating the fanatical islamic group boko haram? And your gullible people swallowed that crsp hook line and sinker.

Now you complain about PMB being criticised, especially for his incompetence? Wonderful.

abduljabbar4:
They can continue to hate but one thing I know is that any day one of their own tries to contest in an election, we would treat him the same way.

You already treated one of ours the very same way, if not worse. Remember Goodluck Ebele Jonathan?

omenka:
The PDP politicians and their supporters from those regions would do anything to sabotage any government action likely to expose the demonic lies they've fed their people with since Baba assumed power.

The heart of an average PDP politician is desperately wicked as stated in the Bible.

While the heart of an APC politician and the party supporters is filled with so much love and rainbows, abi? Same "love" shown GEJ.

ba7man:
Crap, GEJ could no longer patch his goofs due to his laxity in allowing his goons loot and wreck the nation.

Were you in Lesotho?

Son, you are beating around the bush. Please tell us more about these "goofs". Cos last I checked GEJ did live a good score card (again growing economy, improved power, better transport infrastructure, improved security situation, improved electoral reforms, etc).


So why must GEJ be blamed for PMB's fvck ups?

Allee90:
I salute the Born to rule Northern Muslim Hausa Fulanis. The owners of Nigeria, Almajiris and the slayers of the clueless GEJ. When the Mighty North sneezes, their slaves in SS/SE catches cold. Yorubas..... Respect

You know kinda of funny, cos I dont rmember the SS or SE buckling or "catching a cold. Last I checked, both regions still stood thier ground and equally rejected the present ruling party. Till date.

Bunch of illiterate parasites. What about the South, especially the SS that's pretty much the primary source of this nation's wealth? What have we gotten from same budget? Even th $6billion loan from China favours the North way more than the south.

ba7man:
Do You remember how GEJ grinded the nation to almost a halt before handing over?

This is the attempt to revive the nation from where GEJ left us.

How did GEJ grind the nation to a halt before handing over? Oh, you're referring to the fuel scarcity that occurred in the last few weeks due to the govt decision not to pay the fuel subsidy fees to marketers immediately? that resolved before GEJ lWasntGEJ? Is that the "grinding"? Even as he handed over he handed an economy that was still growing, better infrastructure, a reformed power sector, a reformed agricultural sector, an improved security situation with the military better equipped and on the offensive in the ongoing counter insurgency.

Yet it took this administration TWO MONTHS to FVCK IT all up. Two damn months. But hey, dont own up to PMB's mistakes. Just keep blaming GEJ as usual.

zomby:
Yeah, a 72 years old working hard like a 40 years old.

My friend, No shaking.
The current state of things in Nigeria is absolutely OK. Nigeria is finally showing the accurate status of the economy; we have been deceived and brainwashed for many years. The only thing that is currently missing in Nigeria is the stolen money, which is no longer existed in our system.

For the first time in many years, things are being done accordingly and correctly. A baby must first walk before he starts to run...We are patient and willing to suck up whatever the weather brings...The good news is, there is a big bright light at the end of the tunnel. President Buhari is not only thinking of today, but more focused on tomorrow.

We thank God for President Buhari and we pray for a long healthy life for our president. Whether you guys like it or not, Nigeria will no longer operate on BUSINESS as usual. Things have changed for the better.

Nigeria will surely rise again...Insha Allah.

Oh please!! Are you guys this GULLIBLE?! We currently experiencing a clear case of retrogression, with every initial successes from previous administration squandered. Yet you say the current state is "OK"?!

Hows the degradation of generated power from 5000MW to less than 2500MW "ok"?

Hows the degradation of our economy from 5th fastest growing with an increase in manufacturing and services sectors, increase in number of SMEs, no 1 choice investment destination, job growth TO economic stagnation, double digit inflation, massive job loss, contraction of manufacturing sectors as businesses close shop, massive capital flight as investors run away, harsh economic climate "ok"?

Hows the move from successes in the health sector, including the containment & elimination of Ebola and Polio, to the prolonged battle against Lassa fever under this administration "ok"?

Please do tell how tgese and so much more are "ok" and a sign of progress cos im confused.

zomby:
Look who is talk!!!!

When your people didn't take loans, what did they accomplish in almost 20 years?
May be if all your heroes didn't steal enormously we wouldn't need the Chinese or the Indians.

The only thing here that is sad is YOU pin heads that refuse to see a 72 years old man working day and night (unlike your mentally lazy bayelsa hero) to get this country back on track.

Suuure the 72 year old is really working "hard". You do know the present state the nation's presently in, right? Call his "mentally lazy" predecessor from Bayelsa anything you like, but he was way better than the present Daura President in power.

"Working day and night" indeed.

You guys arent serious at all. First all, do u expect the same pomp and pageantry extended to the president to be given to the governor? Also, what exactly is wrong with Fayose's pic? From what i've seen so far, it looks like he's in some sort of Trade Expo. So is there anything wrong with that, especially when he's trying to attract much needed investment to his state?

This whole thread's a joke.

eflintsone:
buhari does nt need to be a nairalander ... he demands respect as a human ...if anyone insults him he or she must be ready for perfect replies

Same way GEJ got respect from you guys?

JingoOAU:
Air peace with just 3 functional Boeing 737 aircrafts flying international routes....theres nothing we wouldn't see in this country....

Am a Yoruba, but am not hating....

You do know that airlines can always Wet/dry lease aircrafts before they purchase theirs, right? Thats what Arik air did before expanding its fleet.

wristbangle:
Why didn't he build it? Mtchewww!

Ever seen where an administration completes all its projects in a single term. It still does not change the FACT that GEJ is responsible for rescusitating the once dead and decayed Rail network.

igala1:
All dis nothern senators is not thier fault. If not for d stupidity of my Niger Delta brothers who are so fixated on Hating Buhari due to Instigation by the Igbos as a result of Jonathan loss, this senators wont be bold enough to openly admit adding more money to Kano rail at the expence of Calabar rail. When in d same speech, the same senator is telling us they have d power to add and remove any item from d budget.

If they can add and remove any item from d budget as they claim, why is it Niger Delta project that they are removing due to flimsy excuse that it was not on d original document despite d fact that it was presented to them in d senate as an addedum.

The simple question we need to ask this senators defending d ommission of Calabar lagos rail is this: All d constituency project they added to d budget were they in d original budget submitted to them? The increase in d amount 4 Kano rail was it in d budget submitted to them? All d new road linking thier states they added to d budget was it in in d original document submitted to them? If they can add items not submitted to them on d original document, what stop them from adding the Calabar Lagos rail project that was clearly successfully defended, discussed and submitted to them as an ammendment or addendum? Thier argument that it was not on d original document submitted to them is lame, completely outrageous and dead on arrival!!!!This people must be thinking they are speaking to morons!!!!

The greatest traitors to d Niger Delta right now are those fools, and extreme bitter people who are ready to kill d development of Niger Delta just because they hate Buhari 4 cheap political point.


The truth is dat Buhari got nothing to lose. He is a 72year old man who has been Governor, Minister, millitary head of state and today democratically elected president. He is already a great achiever.


We Niger Delta people are being foolish and myopic. We must protest against NASS.

We must not give away what belong to us just because Jonathan lost election. Niger Delta is bigger than Jonathan loss. We must move on and stop harming ourselves. Jonathan is a Beneficiary of Niger Delta Struggle. He was never part of d struggle. We must not destroy our region just because of a benefiary who never contributed much to our region when he got d opportunity.

We are just being silly and foolish.


According to Peter Obi former Governor of Anambra state, Igbo are d cause of thier maginalisation because they dont know how to negotiate politically when others (North and South west) are negotiating for thier people.

My Niger delta brothers, please we must not end up like them. We should be wiser.

The Lagos Calabar rail is just named Lagos Calabar . The Rail actually goes from Lagos to Calabar to Aba to PortHarcourt to Ughelli to Sapele to Benin and to Ore to Ibadan and back to lagos. It is South west, South South and South East rail. The rail is expected to also link Onitcha and Asaba and Warri.

We claim we are more educated than the North. We brag with our worthless PhDs. Notherners with ordinary primary Six certificates are dribbling our PhD senators like Lionel Messi.

Our "stupidity"? Anyway sorry, it's quite hard to love the Daura retard in power, especially when he's making a mess of the whole country

DaBullIT:
GEJ go Tay for prison Walahi no get joke

Go and arrest him na.

Beeman1:
Arrant nonsense. Didn't we suffered more in the hand of last administration?. Op we know you and ur likes(Ipods/pampers).

FYI,We 95% will always stand with Buhari anyday anytime.

God bless PMB

God bless Nigeria.

Please do tell what we "suffered" under the GEJ administration. Cos last I checked there was fuel, there was improved power supply, and the economy kept growing at a fast rate. Compare that to the present disaster we face.

Sibrah:
Phcn is now private, what are the union n labour people waiting for?

Unions are usually not allowed in the private sector.

greenpasture:
Good one Sir! You know your stuff. Salute!
I hope he sees it though because you replied me instead of the original "thick forest" contributor

Oh, im sorry about that. My bad.

Faculty14:
why can't we go for cobras or black hawk choppers for transport and also chinooks
Is their a law prohibiting us from getting this platforms or is it the price.. Is it so expensive??
I wish we get such platforms

We tried purchasing old stock of AH-6 Cobras x USMC IsrealiCUSMCsannd46 Sea Knights under GEJ's watch. The Americans blocked the deals, hence the spat btw us and them. The Chinook wouldve been a lovely addition, and so would the Blackhawk, but the Mi-17 is equally very rugged, although its safety record is a concern. Anyway, we can expanded our PUMA fleet

NaijaTalkTown:
Maybe you don't know this because they get less MSM coverage but Book Haram is as deadly as Daesh. Attack Helicopters cannot penetrate the thick forests along the Nigeria-Cameroon border. And the kind of Attack helicopters needed to fight them will not be sold to Nigeria by either the Chinese, Russians and the Americans. So it is better to build an Air force-like aviation corp first to achieve short-medium term goals. Sending the aviation corp to fight those BH bastards will be very tough. But it is better we have outdated gears than to have none. Besides, the South African's attack helicopter is dependable so I'll give the NA a chance (as if my opinion matters to them ).

Abeg, how are Attack Helicopters unable to "penetrate the thick forests"? You do know that:

1)the vegetation along the Nigerian Cameroon border at the North East isnt as thick as you suggest (with the exception of that along the mountain range in TarabGembuTarabae). This is due to the amount of rainfall in these areas.

2)Attack helicopters like the Mi-35M in NAF's fleet posses the necessary sensors like FLIR and NVG googles that makes it easier to hunt, even at night. Also keep in mind that "outdated" helicopters can be upgraded.

3)Our older Mi-35P attack helicopters have equally seen combat over the much thicker mangrove swamps of the Niger Delta region against MEND and other militant groups. As NAF's primary combat air support asset during the ND counter-insurgency, it did kick a$$. Also note that older variants of same airframe has seen combat globally from Sri Lanka to Angola, areas with thick vegetation.

NaijaTalkTown:
Why not Su-24s, PAK FAs, F16s and a few reconnaissance and communications satellite? The aviation corp cannot function well with the kind of outdated gears Buratai is eyeing. The terrorists can easily shoot them down with MANPADs.

The aircrafts you've mentioned are FIXED WING (fighter jets). Army avaiation around the world only do ROTARY AIRCRAFTS (helicopters) only.

@ OP, I dont think the Rooivalk is a good idea as it will create a logistical nightmare for the military. Why not go for variants of same Mi-35 Hind Attack Helicopter used by the Nigerian Air Force? It combines the role of Attack and Transport very well.

Quakertellicus1:
From the article....it is obvious that they want us to devalue....so that forex can flow.

Buharinomics is a bad choice. The problem is...the alternatives are far worse. If we devalue now...we would end up with runaway inflation, severely depreciated naira and suddenly we would be taking high amount of loans to balance the books.

What needs to be done next is simple. We must, as I have said here time after time...become a manufacturing power. I want to see this APC government spend more on generation, and work with the DISCOS and GENCOS to repair our outdated transmission system. I want to see more spending on technical education.I want to see an end to fuel subsidy....because we are just wasting money that could be used for better things, and we do not even have the money to subsidize fuel anyways. We should improve agriculture....by encouraging large scale farming. We should encourage our local industries to stop importing raw materials if they can be sourced in Nigeria. And we must fight corruption....no compromise.

That is what APC must do to leave a glorious legacy.

Modified: Re loans....if we have to take loans...why not in the form of infrastructure?

Eg...Germany gives us a ''loan''to build a power station that runs on refuse...by building the power plant and providing training and logistics.

A few corrections:

1)DISCOS and GENCOS are not responsible for our transmission grid. Thats up to TCN.

2)The massive upgrade and expansion of our grid already began with the last administration and a lot had been done from new substations to building of new lines and steel towers. Also done was the outsourcing of TCN mgt to a major Canadian Utility firm (Manitoba Power) by the GEJ administration.

The onus is now on the PMB administration to build on these.

Kenai:
Wah wah waaaah!

"South East lost by not supporting Buhari"

"South East put their eggs in one basket"

"South East miscalculated by not supporting Buhari"

"South East is blinded by tribalism"

"South East was politically naive and lacked sophistication for not supporting change"

"South East will be on the wrong side of history for not supporting Buhari"

"South East miscalculated seriously by not supporting Buhari"

...

Well, with the events playing out, it sure looks to me like the South-East were the WISER ones for refusing to be deceived by the FAKE change and propaganda.

When history comes to judge you and you think of the role you played in electing a 73 year-old illiterate tribal supremacist and coup-plotting ex-dictator to rule your country of over 170 million people in the 21st century, would you be proud of yourself?

From "Buhari is a reformed democrat", the new narrative being pushed by his lapdogs today is "democracy is an obstacle to the war on corruption". "Let us withdraw the constitution to help Buhari fight corruption".

Your parents queued up for long hours in 1984 for milk, rice and beans; you'd have to be a gullible dimwit to think Buhari gives a damn about you queueing up for long hours in 2016 for fuel.

A people with no knowledge of their history will never be gifted with the skills of retrospective analysis, and are bound to keep repeating their mistakes. This is exactly why it was easy to pick up an expired ethnic bigot and despotic illiterate from the dustbin of history, and dust him up into a "reformed democrat" in the eyes of the gullible, ignorant populace.

MOD, pls do we have a 1 million likes button? I need it for this guy.

This Mr Aribisala is just making mockery of himself. If at this age of his he sees nothing bad in corruption then he need to have a brain check up.

You probably need to read his speech again...and SLOWLY.

Standing5:
Where is NERC when the DISCOs shove huge estimated bills on the customers. Keep vibrating there until they hit u with imaginary figures.

THAT is where NERC comes in as the industry's regulatory body.

Standing5:
This isn't Fashola's fault. Someone(an Ineffectual Buffon) oversaw the privatization process and has allowed the DISCOs too much power. The best Fashola can do is see to the distribution of prepaid metres. With prepaid metres the DISCOs no longer get to drop randomly inflated amounts as bills. That way their only hope of making killer profit is to provide more power.
The IB needs serious flogging for his I-don't-care attitude.

Absolute CRAP. What the hell is NERC there for? Why blame Jonathan?

Endtime NIMET.
