[/b]"Our sources disclosed that the Presidency was trying to fool the public through its spokesman, Garba Shehu, who said a deputy director had written the now widely ridiculed speech. Mr. Shehu had also declared that the speechwriter would be punished."[b] Nigerians should see this! .Team-#CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES and then #CHANGECONTINUESWITHPROPAGANDA

Well it's no more news.It is two senile dullards from Daura the land of cows who are beneficiaries of a grossly defective quota system.

ddippset:
that is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Nigerians actually forget so easily. Nigerians have forgotten so soon how PDP were such a demonic party and hence christened People Deceiving People. in the same way even if the economic hardship continues, once things get better 6 months to the 2019 elections, it will be a landslide victory for Muhammadu Buhari.

Have you joined? Oh sorry you have been hallucinating a long time ago.

Well until we get there.Even Buhari deeply knows he is toast.Do you hear "Sai Buhari or Sai Chanji" again? Ok say it anywhere then come back to tell us the outcome.Numbskulls

#CHANGEBEGINSWITHNEPOTISM.

All this sweet gramma will never translate to any meaningful development as long as this set of inexperienced fella remain as the arrow heads of a complex mono economic state like Nigeria.This is what you should expect when all you have are a bunch of incompetent persons including a super clueless president that knows next to nothing.

You can't give what you don't have.Karma @ work.#CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES.Hypocrites!

How can you install change based on dishonesty.Why is the propagandist-in-chief Alhaji Lai Muhammed yet to address the nation on this national embarrassment?

President Buhari Changed? Has President Buhari Changed? ON SEPTEMBER 18, 20161:34 AMIN FRANKLY SPEAKINGCOMMENTS By Dele Sobowale

---

“Change starts with me”, President Buhari, September 8, 2016. [/b]“When a government begins to fear the mob, it is as much as to say it fears itself.”[b] John Fowles in THE FRENCH LIEUTENANT’S WOMAN.

---

President Buhari … Oddly enough, there are two answers to that question: yes and no. [/b]There is abundance evidence to prove that the President who launched another campaign to officially change Nigerian attitudes and values, and his accomplice in that regard, the Minister of Information and Culture, might not be the right people to be preaching to us – their Fellow Countrymen.[b]

---

To begin with, not all changes are beneficial to society. The change from a nation which had a diversified export base, up till the late 1960s to one which became enslaved to one product, crude oil, was largely brought about by long years of military rule – starting from 1966. Buhari was one of those who forced that change on us – without our consent.

---

Now, the chicken has come home to roost. One of the major beneficiaries of government by armed robbers of peoples’ sovereignty is now faced with cleaning up the sh*t which he and his colleagues started.

---

[/bNigerians are best advised to read the scripts prepared by the Ministry of Information and Culture with a great deal of caution.[b] At the moment, the sincerity of its authors is seriously in doubt – on account of their individual and collective antecedents.

---

A few examples, well documented, will illustrate the point being made here. Let’s start with some recent occurrences. Back in 2014, when it was politically advantageous to the All Progressives Congress, APC, then out of power, to support the activities of the Bring Back Our Girls, BBOG, group, President Jonathan’s administration regarded them as, at best, a public nuisance, and at worst, a security risk.

---

Each time their marches were disrupted by the Nigerian Police, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, speaking on behalf of the party and its presidential candidate, fired off public announcements condemning the GEJ government for violation of the fundamental human rights of the BBOG.

---

Anyone reading those passionate defences of one of the basic rights of free people in a democracy would have been led to believe that Buhari and Mohammed actually believed in those principles. Today, the BBOG, and others who believed in their right to free association, and who voted for APC on account of that, had been swindled. Officially now, and under APC, BBOG has been labeled a “security risk”.

---

Has Buhari changed? Certainly; but, it is a change for the worse for a democracy and it does very little  credit to a President trying to preach a change of attitude when he has been caught in a socially disruptive change of principles.

---

A greater leader than he would ever turn out to be, Ghandi had advised about the things that would destroy any society. One of them is “Politics without principles”. Even if one wants to overlook that one, difficult as it is, how can one, given the economic recession ravaging the country, that the same Buhari blasted Jonathan for maintaining a large presidential fleet of aircrafts – which made Presidential Airlines the second largest in Nigeria and bigger that four private airlines put together. One would have expected that among the first Executive Orders given in May 2015 was the reduction in fleet size. On the day, Buhari and Mohammed were going through the song and dance about value-change, it was obvious that their values have taken another change for the worse. The cost of maintenance of the fleet, previously astronomical, had become killing because everything in the crafts must be imported at N425/US$1.

---

The Buhari who campaigned in 2014/2015 has clearly changed right in front of our eyes and he is behaving more and more like Jonathan. Unfortunately, for us, the man has not changed totally. Had he continued to adopt the wasteful habits of GEJ and ignoring calls to rescue the Chibok girls, we could have shrugged our shoulders and resigned ourselves to four years like the locust years under PDP. But, the Buhari of 2016 is in many respects like the Buhari of 1984/85 – who was summarily removed by his colleagues in a bloodless coup. It was bloodless because nobody was willing to lift a finger to save him.

---

Why Start with nepotism and bigotry, personal defects which we mistakenly thought he had discarded once he opted for politics under democratic rule. In 1984/85, Buhari’s appointments to high office totally disregarded the principle of Federal Character and the religious diversity of Nigeria. Out of the first twenty-five appointments he made during that period, only seven were Southerners or Christians.

---

Apart from the fact that he was a Northern Muslim, his Deputy, Tunde Idiagbon was also a Northern Muslim. The Governor of the Central Bank, Alhaji Ahmed, graduate of History, was a Muslim, so was his Deputy Alhaji Otiti. All the service Chiefs, except one, were Northerners and Muslims; so were the heads of security agencies except the Inspector General of Police.

---

Bigotry could not have been better defined. His removal was widely hailed in the South because the General Babangida regime which followed his own was more equitable. May 2015 presented Buhari an opportunity to demonstrate that he had shed both nepotism and bigotry.

---

Recently, Dr Junaid Mohammed introduced some of the top appointees made since then. Any change? Certainly not. Of the first ten or so, the two southern names appearing were Femi Adesina and Ita Enang. These two were followed by another dozen or so from the North. Lately, after distributing the plum jobs unfairly, he had started to “compensate” the South by sweeping crumbs from the “Masters’ tables”.

---

The job of Managing Director of Nigeria Ports Authority, NPA, was given to someone who some still regard as reflective of nepotism.  That is still his sense of fairness. That is the sort of change he and Mohammed want us to adopt in this hypocritical crusade.

---

Was the budget padded or not? Buhari was the first to announce abroad that it was and vowed to punish the culprits. Now Honourable Jibrin had taken up the refrain, shouting at the top of his lungs that the budget was indeed padded. Suddenly, it is Buhari’s presidency which is now denying that the budget was padded. What sort of value-change can occur when the presidency cannot tell the people the truth and stick to it? Permit me to end where I started.

---

No parent in Nigeria, who loves his kids, can fail to share the agony of the parents of the Chibok girls. We cannot all join the marches in Abuja; but we can offer them moral support and encouragement. As the father of six girls, I probably would have gone mad if one of them is a captive of Boko Haram. No government which regards the agitators as security risk can ever preach any sermon to which I will listen.

Well,sadly we're in an era where a highly incompetent fellow is over seeing another group of nonentities.So this is the order one should expect-a state where merit is sacrificed for mediocrity & political patronage

XaintJoel20:
I will investigate. It's sounds unbelievable.

It is absolutely possible with this fraudulent government man otherwise where are the effects of the so called recovered stolen funds or revenue generated that are being constantly brandished on paper by these riff raffs?

[/b]“Look, there is no need to duplicate efforts or stifle great initiatives. I don’t think it is too late for Alhaji Lai Mohammed to call Akin in for a conversation on how to blend the ideas in the interest of the change agenda, the anti-corruption campaign and the future of Nigeria. It will ridicule the philosophy of the change agenda, if ‘Not in My Country’ is ignored, side-stepped or even copied by a government that seeks to do things different.”[b] And these people think a #CHANGEBEGINSWITHPROPAGANDA campaign is what Nigeria needs now in the face of this hard biting but never ending recession? Their brains need some slap resetting.

Nigeria need a revolution at this moment otherwise these assholes ain't give any Bleep about us.Damned it.

Chai! The #CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES scam? APC have killed this country.

blowjohn:
What's all the whining for? The important thing you should ask yourself is,when Obama made his own speech, did he use it to launch a change crusade like buhari has done? Besides, buhari doesn't write speeches not monitors speeches other heads of states give. Lastly,obama's speech was to serve as a change of baton for the Americans. It wasn't about a change in character and other respects. [/b]"Buhari intentionally set out to instill the needed change in our characters and other areas we Nigerians so badly need."[b]

Point of correction-Buhari is instilling #CHANGEBEGINWITHLIES in your own character.After all his is your human god.

kenny987:
The op is completely tongue-in-cheek and a good level of literary appreciation will help you understand the undertones woven into the op. Infact the last line/paragraph should alert u along with reason no 2 also stated so take a chill pill.

So much on point dear.

Adminisher:
So where exactly did Buhari say his ministers are incompetent?. From the title on this thread and most of the posts it appears only true to say Obasanjo 's and Wike's education ministers were incompetent because it has been distortion, low IQ and poor English comprehension all the way.

The President did not say they are incompetent,. The context is that he is calling for novel revolutionary ideas that we have not seen before in the history of the third world . He used the term "think outside the box" in the same speech

Guess you didn't see this? [/b]President Muhammadu Buhari, ‎has on Thursday, September 15, maintained that his Ministers are not doing enough to manage Nigeria’s economy, advising all Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs, to sit up and think outside the box in fixing the current economic challenges.[b] #CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES.

NgeneUkwenu:
Junk Reporting Report from the Very Useless Post.com..

IPOB Post.com....indeed

You don't need that to know that your demigod is the complete definition of cluelessness dearie.

[/b]‎"According to sources, the President’s directive is coming at a time when there have been series of calls to reshuffle his cabinet, as most of his appointees have been accused of being incompetent".[b] This is happening because he himself is super clueless to know they are highly incompetent So sad for this country.

drss2:
hahahhahahahahaha d dullard surely no dey disappoint. who appoint d ministers was it not him spending 6 months to appoint ministers only to end up with bench warmers can only happen if d commander in chief is a bench warmer himself.

That is ehen! .I Wonder what will be going on now in the mind of the fanatic ones like NgeneUkwenu,Omenka,etc.Well sorry is the consolation for them now.

Guess our SW people can see the effects of their ignorance? VP Oshibajo should be ashamed of himself by accepting to serve with this numbskull of a president.

Great leaders takes responsibility for what their governance have produced,but Buhari is far from it.This is a serious indictment on this fool.So the national assembly should immediately initiate impeachment proceedings on Buhari for failure of quality governance after all he nominated & forwarded the names of the [/b]"incompetent ministers"[b] for NASS consideration & approval.Besides Buhari himself is also the [/b]Incompetent Minister[b] of Petroleum.Nigeria just negodu your president. #CHANGEBEGINWITHLIES.

What? .Ministers which took you 6months to appoint and which you called "noisemakers? Now what will you called your zombie supporters? GEJ came but was hated for being from a minority ethnic group but this has confirmed Buhari to be the worst president & government ever witnessed in Nigeria's histroy.#CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES.

Simply means-the end effect of the utter cluelessness of a party called APC that once ruled Nigeria.

DonCortino:
Wetin concern jona for this copy copy mata agian kwa? Na wha for some pipu o! Hia!

being a stark illiterate more than Buhari he is just lost on what to say.Pls forgive him.

wolesmile:
Receive sense bro

Rather you're the one in dire need of the sense.So go get it fast.

omolola15:
Even if he or sheu proof read the speech. How will he know a quote or paragraph belongs to Obama. Did he listen to the Obama speech back then or know it off hand. His speech writter messed up. Even if you are quoting Obama, let the world know by giving him credit for the quote. I've seen incidents like this before. Most recently trump's wife did the same with Michelle's speech. She also apologized and blamed her speech writter.

So lets say you are Buhari. And your speech writter copy my speech you never knew existed. How do will you avoid the whole drama as you claimed. Even Obama doesn't write all his speeches himself. After it has been written, they bring it to him. He can add or remove from it. But he does not have the time to start cracking brain and writting a whole speech. I'm sure you know this already.

The best thing to do Is apologize.

Go & plagiarize someone project/ PhD thesis & present it as you own without acknowledging the source & be caught.Then come back here to tell us your story.If education is too expensive then try ignorance.

KingsleyCEO:
I think we can now see where the change should begin from?

If I catch you saying "change begins with me" the slap you will collect will change your life into Nigeria's economy!

Lolzzz! You must be Goliath bro.

ogawisdom:
Gini this is National embarrassment and an academic fraud d president shld resign and face d law. Hw can u copy and paste somebody's work without acknowledging him. This goes to show dt the president is surrounded by bunch of clowns dt he calls AIDS abi na aides. Buhari we kw u r a complete illiterate but ur VP is a Prof n SAN for crying out loud

Thanks dearie.This is what he should honourable do now but will he? Your guess is as good as mine.

So much embarrassment from an illiterate president.Disgracing Nigeria indiscriminately & talking as if his goofing started today. Guess all Buhari's super clueless illiterates like Victor Ikpeba who enthroned him based on the NEPA bill certificate can see how Bubu is exporting their stupidity abroad?

OrlandoOwoh:
I no longer have time on this forum trying to explain things to those that have sworn to see this government fail. You too, abeg shift.

And who have you seen that gives a damn about mummified persons like you? Carry your ignorance out from here man. #CHANGEBEGINSWITHLIES.
