I searched through the post and never saw where Buhari stated the word 'visionary'. He spoke about strong leadership which we all know he isn't providing in Nigeria; and even that statement seems to have been made by RudeAdesina.

It was the Ethiopian guy who spoke about visionary leadership. How visionary is that one's leadership by the way?

It is finished

Maybe it's because of a sense of decency, but I don't know why our troops tend to upload heavily edited, confusing pics to butress their victories over these terrorists.

Show us clear and abundant pics like the terrorists would if they got a chance...

Football business and the cycles... Just a few years ago, it sounded unbelievable that Barca could degenerate to this extent.

Na wa O! Just imagine what FC Barcelona has become!

Man U must rise again!

Nice poem! She's really killing the 5th floor.

What will people not celebrate?

It is well...

Entitlement Mentality is SIN... It is Greed, it is covetousness... and when it's a pastor involved, I'll say it's criminal.

What else do we call a CRIMINAL PASTOR, if not wolves in sheep clothing?

Entitlement Mentality is a sin... It is covetousness, it is Greed, it is criminal.

And what do we call a pastor who indulges in criminality? A wolf in sheep clothing! Simple!

RIP

I join them in prayers too

Accusations and denials galore: who do we believe now?

li2pac1717:
Inferity complex will kill u. How do you know naija did not prepare for this? The only way you can't make it in your region is if you believe you won't make it there and you won't make it. No be curse my brother.

Who's this one? Did I say Naija didn't prepare for this? If you aren't deceiving yourself with your vain superiority complex, you will know that Naija hardly prepares for anything. We are even slow to react to mishaps!

And what is it about your region? I don't seem to get that aspect.

Lol...the only thing that came to mind is how much of a cruise-control we are on in this country. Imagine the more than enough response to the problem,even though anticipatorily. That gives an insight into the preparation that the problem still defied.


WHEN...


In Nigeria, everything is left to chance, yet we still have such favourable numbers. Na God just dey help us sha...

Yes, the herdsmen who now rustle humans in their scores are foreign invaders, but there’s a strategy (was there none before?) to checkmate them. What strategy? A hidden strategy, the results of which we will SOON start seeing. How SOON? Probably when they start rustling whole villages. Operation Crocodile smiles and tears, Python singing and dancing and others weren’t secret; why must this be? Clueless!

On the flagrant lopsidedness of his administration’s appointments, he claimed they were on merit and experience. Uncle, you sabi lie o! The Director General of Nigeria Customs, Col Hameed Ali must have combined the army job with customs duty to gain the experience while customs officials with vast experience were sidelined abi? Where did Hadiza Usman acquire her NPA experience from, Oga Bubu? Probably while bringing back our girls. Ngige must have been a Labour leader to lead the Ministry of Labour! Such lies are too barefaced for comfort, sir.

And like he has always shown. This man has a problem with the leaders of tomorrow. He has a problem with Nigerian Youths! He couldn’t resist the opportunity to take on them again. We haven’t forgotten how he went to faraway London to describe them as LAZY. This was the same man whom vibrant youths awaited inspiration from during the ENDSARS protest. He finally spoke...and it was a disaster as usual! Now to justify the deliberatedness of governments messy handling of the situation, he claimed that the youths wanted to remove him from power. With their fists? DELUSION at its peak!

He couldn’t stop himself anymore: he went on to blame LAZY NIGERIAN YOUTHS for his perpetual cluelessness, badluck and knee-jerk policies that have destroyed the once biggest economy in Africa handed over to him in 2015. He asked them to behave themselves or foreign investors won’t come in to create jobs. What works in this man’s brain before he talks?

Obviously, the virtue of thinking before one talks is lost on him. And it would be better if he remained silent henceforth. Many have described him as a mannequin. I think he should reflect that henceforth.

If the Boko Haram terror, the ISWAP killings, Fulani Herdsmen, Armed Bandits, Unknown Gunmen and his ill-conceived reactions and policies, like the recent banning of Twitter, haven’t and aren’t still driving away foreign investors, is it the youths protesting bad governance that are? Some presidents speak and listeners are inspired to patriotism, but Buhari speaks and his listeners wonder what happened to the little inspiration they thought they previously had.

Public speaking is an art. Public speaking is a skill, but when the supposed Chief Publicist lacks this skill, it is no wonder that inspiration fritters away.

For many years, Nigerians have decried the unbecoming silence of the president in addressing the myriad of problems bedevilling this country. But he has spoken before and he recently spoke again. And it was a disaster as usual. Recently, we’ve been treated to a barrage of insensitive comments from the president’s media handlers – Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, with the latter especially vitriolic in airing his ill-thought and ill-expressed views to the consternation of sensible Nigerians. Many have wondered if the views expressed by the duo, usually on behalf of the PRESIDENCY, actually reflect the opinion of the president himself, with the most recent retort by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu a good example.

The governor had decried Garba Shehu’s statement on the rights of herdsmen to all land pieces in Nigeria, a conviction that could be linked to the destruction of crops and human lives that Fulani herdsmen have left in their trail. But he had sought at the same time to insulate Buhari from the exchange by claiming that Shehu’s views were his and that of vested interests only, BUT NOT of the president. Tell me, who are the vested interests?

The PRESIDENCY has done this... The PRESIDENCY has done that...and the likes of Malami, Pantmi, El-Rufai, Garba Shehu, Femi Adesina, Lai Mohammed and Co. have constantly attacked our collective sensibilities. It is no wonder that Nigerians clamour for the President to speak, hoping he will provide some HOPE and INSPIRATION thereby. The Vice-President, though better, is usually caught between expressing his honest views and defending the status quo. This has made the pastor-lawyer sound like a liar [/i]so often.

Finally, the President spoke, and as has been his wont (though Nigerians quickly forget) [i]ALL TABLES SCATTERED.

In no particular order, the President repeated the highly odoriferous lie that his administration met things worse than they currently are. Who feeds him these lies? Is he unaware that the current NYSC corps receiving 33k aren’t as comfortable as those who earned 18.9k before 2015? Is he aware that a trip between Lagos and Benin that was lesser than 2k now exceeds 6k? This oft repeated lie, which smirks of irredeemable delusion only further frustrates hardworking Nigerians. Yes, he spoke! He spoke about the terrible security situation that have snowballed from Boko Haram to ISWAP and Armed Bandits, onto Unknown Gunmen, rabid kidnapping, etc. And he failed to provide any inspiration as usual.

Continues shortly...

Nice piece. Creative!

[quote author= post=102735583]And the most annoying part is that this keep happening year in year out.
They want to turn 10K to 100K in one month doing nothing!!
How will someone promise you 60% ROI on investment and you’ll believe such?
You will even see some coming here on a daily basis asking if so so and so company is real,
Why? Cos they are ready to invest.......as usual!
Some Nigerians will be greedy till they enter the grave.
No pity for them.
Manyegut businesses you can do or invest your money in that will fetch constant profits.
But for where, na sharp sharp money dem want!


Exactly our point![/quote]The attraction to these will ALWAYS be there and that's because government has failed to make investment attractive. When there is no power, no soft loans, and a very unstable currency like your dulling daddy has made the naira, what do you expect?

When there are speculations for increment in petrol price everyday, when subsidy is being removed and added everyday, when the price of basic raw materials are never stable and soaring with every visit to the market, why will people not be attracted to schemes that promise quick cash?

Okay, we have seen it... Buh this looks more like a growing crescent...

So like play, like play, this man is almost there! What started like a joke is snowballing into reality. I think Anambra is blessed, and I hope the next governor outdoes all his predecessors.

Go Maduka! Go Soludo!

That was a smart move! But with this blown open, they need to go back to the strategy laboratories ASAP.

Don't threaten to act, just act please

When a government is determined to outdo itself in folly, what do we call it?

My Verdict: He's doing the best based on what he has upstairs and the feedback he gets from sycophants around him.

Also I reckon that a government that doesn't joke with the welfare of her workers is trying. There is one Obaseki in Edo and he's doing shege to the staff of AAUA as we speak...

Speculations, that's all there is to this. There's also a high possibility of things going the other way as 2023 approaches. Who even knows, a third force may emerge then.

Chai! This is a practical case of jumping from the frypan to fire.

So much achievements by Buhari, yet NOTHING is felt by the masses, but hardship and pain

Hmmm, there seems to be a scramble to outdo each other in stupidity nowadays. Why would a SANE person deface his/her skin by tattooing another person's name on it?

Yeyebrities that gain and lose fame haphazardly...
