Wicked buhari....I remember that use less cashless policy...7k to withdraw 20k and we had to do it because General Hospital refused to accept transfer just to save life...E nor go beta 4 u at all

This was the most wicked act!!!!! bro people parents dey scale fence to enter bank only to be given peanuts of their own money in torn 50naira denominations

Wicked Buhari.

Pre Buhari, I bin dey buy 50kg bag of rice.

He came, closed the borders, banned importation, faked rice pyramids and I couldn't afford a bag of rice anymore so I begin dey buy one bushel of rice (25kg) for the price I was formerly buying a bag of rice.

Every time my wife says to me, "Sweetheart pls help me measure 4 cups of rice from the third room" and I go and see that the bushel of rice is almost finished I go begin dey palpitate.

E no go better for Buhari, and may he never rest in peace.

Say what you will, but facts remain sacred.

The Second Niger Bridge Asaba/Onisha, a generational promise, now fulfilled by General Muhammadu Buhari.

In railway development, a sector left for dead since the 1980s, Buhari did not merely talk but he built. The Abuja-Kaduna Rail Line, which now transports thousands daily. The Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge, a project of international class, was delivered. The Itakpe-Warri Rail Line, initiated since 1987, was completed under him, along with new stations across the route.

Power sector? While no administration can wave a magic wand over Nigeria’s complex electricity challenges, Buhari's government added over 4,000MW to the national grid through initiatives like the Siemens Power Project, the Zungeru Hydropower Plant, and the Kashimbilla Plant. For the first time, real groundwork was laid to decentralise the grid and attract private capital into renewables and mini-grids.

Airports were not left out. He commissioned the remodelled terminals of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja), Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos), and completed the long-abandoned Enugu Airport rehabilitation. A new national carrier "Nigeria Air" was launched, even if its final take-off struggled with bureaucratic resistance.

Digital economy and ease of doing business? Buhari established the Ministry of Digital Economy, registered over 80 million Nigerians in the National Identity Database through NIMC, expanded broadband penetration from 33% in 2015 to nearly 50% in 2023, and improved Nigeria’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index. He introduced the Finance Act, reviewed annually, which helped reform Nigeria’s tax laws for the first time in decades.

Corruption? The whistleblower policy recovered billions. The Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS) saved Nigeria over N500 billion in ghost worker payments. The Treasury Single Account (TSA), long spoken about but never enforced, became policy. And for the first time, public officials were prosecuted, not spared, under his own government, including ministers and EFCC chairmen.

Security? Say what you will and yes, there were legitimate concerns but it was under Buhari that Nigeria significantly degraded Boko Haram in the Northeast. Over 100 Local Governments once under insurgent control were reclaimed. Hundreds of abducted citizens were rescued, and efforts were expanded to create a multi-national joint task force. He introduced Operation Safe Corridor to deradicalize repentant fighters, saving lives through diplomacy and reform, not just bullets.

Agriculture? The Anchor Borrowers' Programme empowered over 2.5 million farmers. Nigeria witnessed a return to self-sufficiency in rice production, a country that once spent $5 billion annually on food imports became one of Africa’s largest rice producers. Fertilizer blending plants grew from 4 in 2015 to over 40 by 2022, due to the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative.

Education? Over 1,000 new classroom blocks were built nationwide through the Universal Basic Education Commission. TETFund allocations to universities reached record highs. 21 new Federal Science and Technical Colleges were established. Buhari initiated Nigeria’s first national policy on Safe Schools in response to abductions, and secured partnerships for digital education platforms.

Youth empowerment? Buhari launched N-Power, the largest social employment scheme in Africa, empowering over 1 million Nigerian youth. Under the National Social Investment Programme (NSIP), over 13 million Nigerians were lifted from extreme poverty through schemes like TraderMoni, MarketMoni, Conditional Cash Transfers, and the School Feeding Programme, feeding 10 million children daily.

Diplomacy? Buhari restored Nigeria's standing globally. He chaired ECOWAS twice. He brought back hundreds of stranded Nigerians from Libya, Ukraine, and Sudan. His foreign policy remained non-aligned, Pan-Africanist, and principle-driven, even as he rejected pressure to toe Western lines on issues like LGBT laws or religious liberalism. He held his ground, not to be loved by the West, but to be respected.

And above all, Buhari lived simply. No one accused him of owning a billion-dollar mansion. No son was seen driving Ferraris. No daughter threw a party in Dubai with public funds. He remained in the same house in Daura he had lived in for decades even as President.

May Allah have Mercy on him and forgive him his shortcomings.

Omo I see shege banza for that cashless policy
I trekked from ikeja to Maryland because I don't have 1 naira in cash
Banks don't have cash, pos operators don't have cash
Before I see bus that accept transfer I almost passed out
Normal normal e no fit better for that man soul and his family with their crocodile tears
Anytime I remember that cashless policy I always curse everybody that have hand in that policy

It’s not about him, it's about the office he occupied.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 The big announcement by Trump turned out to be a nothing burger...

> Patriot AD systems
> Europe would bank roll every American weapons sent
> 100% tariff on Russia if no deal in 50days

Buhari restored Nigeria’s global standing... Please, how? The only thing that hit global headlines under his watch was the record breaking wave of Nigerians fleeing the country like never before since the history of the nation. Maybe operation japa was his foreign policy.

Such hypocrisy of the people telling you not to speak ill of the dead. They were championing ill speakings when a Christian governor died.

NTA literally carried the news that the Abuja-Kaduna Rail Line was completed in December 2014

No son of his was seen driving a Ferrari, but we all know of one who’s never worked a day in his life, riding BMW power bikes reportedly priced at $157,000 each. That’s the same bike he had that accident on. Bro, I’ve told you before, there’s no need for any renovation. You’re not talking to people who were born yesterday. Don’t insult our intelligence, please.
