Thank God that those in government have acknowledged the importance of social media and I know they have learnt a lot as regards the last dispensation.
They will never take the opinion of genuine change seekers for granted
With that fact alone.
They will get it right
They may stumble at the initial,
Ultimately they should get it right in the long run.
And Nigeria will be better for it.

It was very difficult giving him any chance when he himself never gave Nigerians chance to achieve their maximum potential !
He was busy extolling corruption, remember, stealing is not corruption and the theory of the goat and the yam?
Who does that?
Millions and billions kept on missing while he was busy eating with more than a billion naira yearly.
While Nigerian children were dying of malnutrition
He made worse the conditions he found on ground

Politics › Another Advice To PMB Handlers And Supporters by Pangea(op):
Akin Rotimi Wrote:

Not All That Ask Are Enemies

Our President has faced a barrage of criticisms and accusations in his first few days in office. Ranging from the outrageous to the mundane, he has been accused of discourteously leaving his guests to attend Friday Jumaat prayers on inauguration day; influencing the court to drop corruption charges against his political associate; failing to publicly declare his assets as he promised during campaigns; encouraging wastage of resources by duplicating functions for his first set of appointees; etc. Even our first lady has not been spared as she has been accused of wearing an expensive wrist watch to his inauguration - allegedly a sign of opulence considered inconsistent with his austere reputation. It would even seem that PMB is receiving more "bashing" from some of his most ardent supporters.

What I find interesting is not the accusations but the reactions of some of "my people" in a bid to defend our beloved president. From my humble standpoint, I have seen more emotional and irrational outbursts than helpful engagements of the issues by followers attempting to put up a defense. Some cannot just stomach the fact that our highly revered president is being denigrated by commoners on social media. While I agree that some of these issues are needless distractions coming from familiar quarters, they can't be ignored else they become bigger distractions further into the administration's lifespan. I have come to learn that rumours cannot be wished away, they have to be decisively addressed - on time! For example, there is a claim out there that a suicide bomber chanted "Sai Buhari"!, before detonating a bomb in the Northeast on Tuesday, killing several Nigerians. It has been several hours since this was reported on some online news platforms, and subsequently bandied around by some antagonists on social media, yet we have no refutation from "us". It doesn't have to be reported in traditional media before we reiterate PMB's condemnation of the reprehensible actions of the extremists.

My token advice to the president's media team as they settle down in office is that they have no time to settle down. As someone said on facebook, the Buhari team has auditioned for this job for twelve years and issued the notice of employment for two clear months before resumption, we have no reason not to perform. They have to proactively make available accurate information and allow no vacuum for rumours and half-truths to fester. They should consider every accusation raised against their principal as an opportunity to present facts, clarifications and superior arguments that will reinforce his goodwill with the majority. PMB is not infallible and should not be projected so. When mistakes are made by him or those under his watch, they should speedily admit the errors, decisively separate the principal from the mess and ensure the erring parties are resolutely dealt with in keeping with the law. Making this point reminds me that amongst many of former president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's public engagement gaffes was patting former Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro on the back inspite of the NIS recruitment scandal that occasioned the death of many young people. Indeed many of the former president's appointees caused more deficits to his public image than good.

Those of us that believe in and determinedly support our president to succeed need the right ammunition to fight the battle for the hearts and minds of Nigerians. We need to be armed with facts and contexts within which we can help frame the narrative about every single action this president and his administration is going to take - many of which may be unpopular, or cause short term inconvenience in order to achieve long term benefits. It is too early to be responding by abusing people. I just read an outburst on the page of a dedicated supporter of PMB in which she was more or less warning a blogger that his misleading post about the president could lead to his being arrested for falsehood. Haba! The prison cells we will need to keep all Nigerians who abused former president Jonathan would take up half of Nigeria's landmass. That is not the way to go.

I reiterate, let us provide timely and accurate updates on the activities of government, and when rumours are spun to distract his focus, let us similarly respond on time, with facts and clarifications, and in a tone that reminds that we are in charge. Let us make use of the most valuable communication resource PMB and his administration has - the love and goodwill of the majority who are willing (at no cost) to disseminate communication messages within their circles of influence. Not everyone that asks questions or challenges actions taken by PMB are his enemies, some simply want to be re-assured that in the corridors and chambers of power, where sycophants abound and truthful counsel is rare, the bearer of their mandate is staying true to the ideals that made them vote for him.

OP, Buhari has actually done somethings;

1. Buhari has commanded that the corruption case against Timipre Silva be dropped, Fani Kayode was warned to stand down.

2. The impeachment of Fayose of Ekiti has been commanded and the foot soldiers are doing it now.

3. Buhari has appointed 2 media staff to do the same job. Where is the change ?

4. Assets Declaration was done in a cup board, not in public as promised.

5. Buhari wife has displayed a whooping 13,000,000 wrist watch, if you think PEJ was flambuoyant with cheap linens and laces, you are mistaken, Buhari's Akara frying wife is wearing Italian designs and the daughters are using private jets and the presidential fleet to go to school already.

Politics › Re: Dissecting The Blunder In Buhari I Belong To Everybody Speech-ifeduba by Pangea: 1:39pm On Jun 01, 2015

ifedubatoochukw:
President Buhari on the 29th of May 2015 during his swearing in ceremony uttered this controversial speech that have continued to generate a lot of issues and debates from various quarters as a political Analyst we shall closely study the implication of the said speech and what it portrays for the people of Nigeria ..

Extract of the Presidential speech

***Having just a few minutes ago sworn on the Holy Book, I intend to keep my oath and serve as President to all Nigerians.
I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.
A few people have privately voiced fears that on coming back to office I shall go after them. These fears are groundless. There will be no paying off old scores. The past is prologue******

Implications
The unsavory speech by President Buhari is a direct contradiction to the oath of office he just took few minute before then. there is no grammar as to where the allegiance of the President of Nigeria belongs it is clearly spelled out in both the Presidential oath of office and the Nigeria constitution.

President Buhari does not belong to everybody and Nobody there is no argument here or confusion He Belongs to THE GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE OF NIGERIA in fact he ceased to be an Independent man the moment he took that presidential oath and automatically become the servant of the people and must be held accountable in words and action from that very moment thereof

Below is the Presidential Oath of Office for the President and commander in Chief of Nigeria Armed Forces;

" The Constitution of Nigeria specifies an oath of office for the President of the federation. The oath is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria or the person for the time being appointed to exercise the functions of that office:

“ I do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communicate or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President;AND THAT I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO THE SERVICE AND WELL -BEING OF THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA. So help me God.

So while PMB might

I think this sacking issues is now a thing of competition, maybe we are gonna dedicate a year for sacking of some public officers, then use another year to give Nigeria hope of ending corruption and boko haram, the third year will be used of deciding how we are going to have Light, and the fourth year is when we will start deploying troops to sambiassa to kill some mofos, maybe is not yet time of ending boko haram,
In fact I can see ominous signs
Politics › Re: Buhari Sets To SACK Service Chiefs, Retains Police IG Arase - NewTelegraphonline by Pangea: 1:04pm On Jun 01, 2015
“All the service chiefs are going. In fact, they are gone. They are only waiting for the president to announce their sack. Even most of them have packed out their personal effects in their offices. Only the IGP will be retained,” a source said. But the source added that the delay in the sack of the service chiefs was due to a disagreement among political associates of the president over the choice of their replacements. “The president has drawn a list of his service chiefs, but when some political associates of the C-in-C saw it, they kicked against it.
@ Mynd44
This exactly was what I was talking about in the other thread
These people should allow PMB to choose his own team!

You see
The bolder here is my problem!
What I hate to see is all these career politicians to start lobbying puting square pegs in round holes in order to mess up his presidency like they did to the previous one.
