BEFORE I CAN SUPPORT BUHARI, !
Before I can consider joining the BB Train. Below
are my concerns:
I thought it was the rot of the SHAGARI
Government, then followed by the decay of the
Military ERA and climaxing with the STENCH of the
ABACHA Government (of which GENERAL BUHARI
WAS PART AND PARCEL) that 'brought Nigeria to a
dangerous and sorry state, a state that life has
become short and brutal', and from which it has
still not recovered since then. PLEASE CHECK
YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR FACTS!
The often MOUTHED BUHARI ERA and REGIME (of
NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO) used as a reference point
by his 'admirers' and apologists, was marked by
BRUTE FORCE, LACK OF VISION, LACK OF
POLITICAL IDEOLOGY AND AGENDA AND ANY
ECONOMIC POLICY, BUT FOUNDED ON GRA-GRA.
In fact, the ONLY ECONOMIC policy that I can still
remember and associate his regime with was the
era of ESSENTIAL COMMODITY (ESSENCO), where
people were being BULLIED, WHIPPED AND
FORCED TO SELL THEIR OWN wares and goods
(NOT GOVERNMENT OWNED) BY FORCE.
BUHARI SHUT DOWN NEWSPAPER HOUSES AND
HARASSED JOURNALISTS AND THREW THEM IN
GULLAGS OR SENT THEM TO GALLOWS.
BUHARI'S GALLOWS OR GULAGS, UNDER THE SSS
(OR NSO) WERE NOT FIT FOR HUMANS. And this
contributed largely to the DEATH of some of those
that were SELECTIVELY and UNLAWFULLY
DETAINED there. PLAIN MURDER.
BUHARI passed OBNOXIOUS LAWS, including
RETROSPECTIVE LAWS and MURDERED
INDIVIDUALS, SIMPLY FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING.
BUHARI ABUSED THE DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
and CRATED HIM like a CHICKEN, while
attempting to UNLAWFULLY EXPORT HIM OUT OF
THE UK, IN GROSS ABUSE OF THE PERSON'S
DIGNITY, AND IN CONTRAVENTION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAWS.
BUHARI WATCHED ABIOLA JAILED AND DIE IN
JAIL in the HANDS of ABACHA, while he watched
and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL SERVING AND
WORKING FOR THE SAME ABACHA'S
GOVERNMENT.
BUHARI WATCHED ON AND WATCHED JUNE 12
DIE IN THE HANDS OF ABACHA.
BUHARI also WATCHED KEN SAROWIWA
MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE SAME
ABACHA GOVERNMENT, while HE (BUHARI)
WATCHED ON and carried on BUSINESS AS USUAL.
AS ALWAYS, AND CONVENIENTLY, BUHARI SAW
NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL ABOUT THOSE
ATROCITIES.
HE SAW NO EVIL AND HEARD NO EVIL EVEN
WHEN LATE PRESIDENT YARADUA LEFT NIGERIA
IN AUTO PILOT STATE AND 'RULED' FROM THE
'GRAVE' (a la ANDOAKAH)
NEED I SAY MORE? NEED I CONTINUE AND
REMIND YOU WHY BUHARI IS NOT FIT OR
QUALIFIED TO BE ANYWHERE ELSE THAN AT THE
HAGUE AND ANSWERING TO HIS CRIMES AGAINST
HUMANITY?---karlmax2

we don hear you sir! You rant a lot.

God bless Nigeria and bless the corrupt ones with curse!

Wake me up when buhari starts talking about breaking up our primitive political system which has 36 governors trooping to abuja for monthly allocation then we will talk. After All that is the root of our corruption.

You want to fight corruption? The best way is to bring governance closer to the people. The closer the government is to the people the more accountable it will be.
Stronger local governments will do wonders for nigeria

The man claims to be change but he shows no desire to put a stop to the status qou.

Flets:
Not even mention. I am not sure he understands what true federalism means.... Yes he sounded that disconnected.

God save us

Not even a mention


SW youths I pity the most

mcquin:
You guys can't just be pleased. Later you say APC only attacks govt and do not campaign on issues. He now campaigns on issues, one needs to lick your toes to watch it.

Those that desire change ain't hard to decipher.

I don't know what change APC represent that you're talking about. Or is it the Buhari that has not contributed anything meaningful to Nigeria ever since he left power apart from the controversial PTF he headed?
The way economies are so advanced now that your so called semi-literate can't put up with. Little wonder you hear him says he'll stabilize oil price.

No megabyte to waste for someone that can't even dictate a speech.
By d way, what does he know about economy?

Flets:
I can now authoritatively say that Buhari is just a certified dummy.

I will urge anyone who has MBs to play this video and clear Fxisting doubts about the cluelessness of this old terrorist.

For the lenght of the video he was telling how naira notes were printed in taiwan, how he summoned solomon lar for not paying salaries.

Zero clue, zero point!!!!.... God forbid.

For christ's sake, someone should tell this old extremist that stories on economy at this point should be more around what he would do differently in the agricultural, automobile, power sectors and the deregulation of the downstream sector.... that the current FG is not doing.

This is because you were not born then and you don't know your history. By the issues of his day when Buhari was Head of State, these were the essential problems. First some education for you. When he was making this speech, Naira was 0.9 to the dollar. Our currency was better. The only reason why this was so was because of import controls, tight monetary policy and import substitution economic policy which he was hinting here that some people were trying to undermine.. btw this policy is what the Jonathan government is finally going back to with the oil market crash.. Some other things you should know; supply side economics was not in vogue yet when he was making this speech, the whole world was a social welfare economic system, Thatcher and Reagan reforms were not in vogue. There was no Forbes list of billionaires and richest man in the world was probably Rockefeller with maybe $20B-). Our oil was selling, and Nigeria was recording the highest growth rates 8.5% which was remarkable but with threats from local saboteurs. So this speech was not about economic policy but short term measures to correct some problems. Conversely, with all the coaching in the world Jonathan has not been able to summon courage to read his own budget to the legislators for the second or third year running.

Truly, I will not watch the video but based on the interviews I have seen and read, I would prefer a more direct assessment of GMB's plan for the economy.

However, it is not about having plans but being able and committed to implementing them. the GMB handlers have to coach him on how to answer questions regarding the economy.

Meanwhile...

GMB/PYO2015

Since the current dumbo has no clue what to do, we gotta

KICK HIM OUT

WhiteTechnology:
They are like their hero Buhari

Who lacks basic economic knowledge

Yea, the only reason he wants power is because he want to phight kworupshion yet hobnobbing with corrupt politicians like tinubu and atiku. I keep wondering how he intend to fight corruption knowing he has corrupt people in his govt. Maybe he will resort to selective justice like he did before locking ekweme in prison and shagari the head of the govt. Giving a comfortable house arrest. Wonder why they all planning civil disobedience should they lose election, because that is what buhari is used to, he has no regard for the rule of law just as he refused appearing in oputa panel, amaechi's recent comment, tinubu rig and roast and even NgeneUkwenu endless insult and jargons are all testament of how violent apc can be. Reasons I call them Aggreieved Peoples Congress

Dumb and meaningless story.
It was like granny telling his/her grand kids some random stories .
For those who didn't watch the video, be rest assured that it didn't treat any issue concerning present day Nigeria, Buhari just told a story and forgot the most important part, the conclusion.
The title of this thread is very misleading, no issue was discussed.

I don't have sufficient mb

Can someone summarize his view on


Resource control

Fiscal federalism

Privatization

Political federalism

Decentralization of Nigeria

Restructuring of Nigeria

Institutions submitting their quarterly activities to public scrutiny


Which are the fastest route to economic diversification , citizenry prosperity and political stability

Guy, buhari cannot even pronounce this words you're putting out here

I am sorry am not ready to rehearse these lies with you APC liars again. Datolee has done justice to that already. To clear your doubts... go back to that thread

Changed my mind n watched d video
Honestly, anyone that votes this man is doing it based on sentiment, he sounds so unintelligent; no thanks to his poor grasp of d english language; at a time I thought he was speaking his native language.
Op please what issue in d economy did he raise?
If( I know it will never happen) Nigeria ever falls into this semi-literate's grasp, we're finished as a country

This is what i call a decisive leaders. Not excuses.

I see there are many idiots on this forum these days, the man was answering a question on how he secured our currency from fraudsters and someone is asking what he said on Privatization and federalism?

davitogreat:
Not once has Buhari laid out the steps on how he will fix the nation. I am waiting to hear his thoughts on resource control and federalism. I am waiting to hear about how he will reduce our recurrent expenditure. I am waiting to hear on how he will further improve our agricultural sector. What are his thoughts on the auto policy? What are his thoughts on the local content policy in oil and gas? What are his thoughts on the PIB Bill. What are his thoughts on the Ecowas EU EPA agreement.

He keeps going around in circles blaming everyone instead of plain out laying out his thoughts and blueprint.

Why would he? His head is firmly in the past..............I really did not hear anything about what he plans to do regarding the Nigerian economy, if he wins the 2015 and beyond.

You say he hasn't contributed,yet you refuse to give him listening ears to explain his level of contribution, how else can one be bias?

Now can you compare a Nigeria under Buhari and now under GEJ? Tell me which seems better?

You are the idiöt here, the title said ''Buhari speaks on economy'' not about some imaginary currency trash.
After securing the currency from fraudsters, did the value of the naira increase or decrease? What exactly is the moral of that story?

That of GEJ is miles better.
People don't queue for bread like in a refugee camp under GEJ.

Collynzo22:

What is the value of Naira now compared to then?

Did Nigerians have to bother about going to market or sleeping due to insurgency then?

Was corruption at its peak as is seen now?

How much did you buy fuel then?

I could remember Waterboard doing their job properly under Buhari and we had water although off and on then but now nothing.

Bros abeg get your facts straight. I no know. Who queue for food under Buhari.

Lastly we never had a first lady who is a source of National embarassment to the country

America has various tribes and people but they still look beyond differences for the greater good of America. Pls try to look beyond Jonathan being Southerner.

Ah swear that man na classic dullard
I thought politicians are intelligent which leads ability to produce soul catching lies
Was buahri asked to tell us how he stabilize naira back when he was the head of state? or how he will stabilize naira if he wins? ... Cuz all he said althrough relate to the later question

Fashola just dey look he didn't bother to clap for shits oozing out of his mouth ... He even went ahead to support his head with hand like someone nairabet don jam for the 20th time running.. Am sure he will be like "baba Tinubu, see where u wan lead Nigerians into. Thank God I was not chosen as VP"
El rufai was busy with his phone... IF buahri wins, Tinubu go dupe him ehn?


I can even cook better plan even tho I detest economics
We are taking of improvement in agricultural sector,,in our local industry like automobile to improve our economy and provides job, in power sector, educational sector, health care, security all these directly and indirectly improve the economy

Instead to tell us Atleast 2 out of these he was busy telling us how he close down borders,

Tinubu nd amechi better stop fighting for who will head pa GMB think tank
If this man should come out for debate like this...

Fashola look tho
Lol

This response is top class. She just exposed how slow her brain is just like that of Buhari.

I've not watched the interview yet due to flat battery but comparing buhari's previous interviews I've watched to that of Jonathan speaks volume about Jonathan's cluelessness and not having grasped of the situation on ground, I think it'l b a good initiative archiving the two personalities interviews, analysis side by side buhari's responses to questions and jonathan's responses to those same questions. Doing this will give Buhari sharp lead on issue based campaign. APC campaign managers please take note. Asides, I think it'l be waste of time to always give Tanoids undue attention, responding to their every distractional tactics as nobody take them serious any longer. And I don't think I can forget this picture below, it speaks volume

This na economic speech?

Thank God Fashola did not clap for that nonsense.

Someone just narrated how he unilaterally changed the currency of a Nation due to lame excuses and some Nigerians are clapping?

All I see in this speech is 3 words:

Recklessness, recklessness and recklessness

So some Nigerians don't know that due to the direction of light and the angle you view a screen it can look black when it is not actually black? Especially if the LED light is turned down or off?

That screen GEJ was viewing is not black

It looks black because of the angle the pics was taken from

Exactly, no regard for the rule of law, or even the role of the central bank in issues involving the naira. He is boasting about what he did with reckless abandon, and people were clapping..................smh




I also noticed those governors were obviously unimpressed with Buhari. In a sane country it would have been Fashola giving a talk as the presidential candidate for the next election.

You can see that everything in APC is not as rosey as they want us to believe.

.........He is not looking at (or even talking about) the Nigeria of the future, he is too busy harkening back to the past.

If he wins, the only saving grace will be if he puts the right people in the right places to steer Nigeria further down the right path.

It's not surprising to me because i have heard him talk about national issues in the past.

Poor grasp of English? Did you listen attentively? Have you ever heard a Scottish man speak English? If you are talking of the same clip then I think all the tenses were in order and he spoke perfect English. You may have an issue with his accent but for me, he communicated (I doubt if yours is the perfect English accent either). And he did not discuss the economy generally; he only explained how the Naira was stabilized during his regime. He identified the major problem as that of counterfeiting and took decisive action which was executed to the letter. Granted your mind may be made up but please give the man due credit for the elucidation, sharp memory and intellect!
