Shut up fool

We didn't vote for him to turn Nigeria to paradise over night

If your clueless Jonathan was unable to use $150 per barrel to improve our social infrastructures and other capital projects as a result of corruption, then we Nigerians won't expect Buhari with $45-50 per barrel to turn Nigeria to paradise.

All we need him to do is to put the right people in the right places.

All we need him to do is saying the right thing at the right places

All we need him to do is to restore our national integrity among other nations around d world which is gradually becoming a reality now

All we need him to do is exactly what is doing by picking up a newspaper himself and read so as to know what is happening on our streets. No special advisers' lies.

We voted him cos he looks and talks presidential

We voted him cos Badluck Jonathan and his likes from a part of this country need to know that Nigeria is not all about them.

We voted Jonathan out cos we hate to see our first lady embarrassing us with her unguarded utterances.

We voted for him so as to send your freaking Badluck Jonathan packing and his corrupt cronies from East of Nigeria who have all destroyed Nigeria economy and national unity.

We voted him out cos we other Nigerians have had enough religious and tribal division.

We voted Buhari to give us that sense of sanity which we had lost during Badluck Jonathan administration.

I may not have voted for GMB but statements like this make me wonder at the future of this nation! This country doesn't belong to the hausas, yorubas, igbos, efiks, kanuris, it belongs to all of us.

If GMB fails, how will it benefit you? What will be your gain? GEJ has lost, let us play matured politics. We may not support all of GMB's policies but we shouldn't wish him to fail because if he does, what will be the hope of our nation? Which means we would have wasted another 4 years as a nation!


All the best sir!

GMB was addressing NASS members during their induction course, where he mentioned 8 challenges that his administration will face on assumption of office. These include Falling oil prices, Insecurity, Youth Unemployment, Power, De-industrialization, Environmental Pollution in ND, Rebuilding of ravaged NE, etc.

Typically, though, the media has singled out Falling Oil Price so as to create a sensational headline. Baba is not making any excuses, he was simply being pragmatic and calling on the Legislature to join/support the Executive as developmental partners to tackle these 8 challenges.

There is no place in that article that the General said his agenda was threatened. He simply highlighted Challenges, something every corporate leader (whether in private business or public service) does. You need to be objective about the issues, so you can come up with the right strategies to tackle them. I'm sure most of you will learn this as you become leaders.

Stop commenting based on headlines, please always read the body of the article.

'he said that the decline in the revenues due to fall in oil prices poses a great threat to his administration’s development agenda.'

First Paragraph on the post.

Amaudeogu:
By Johnbosco Agbakwuru

ABUJA—THE President- elect, General Muhammadu Buhari yesterday painted a gloomy picture in the economic development of his administration as he said that the decline in the revenues due to fall in oil prices poses a great threat to his administration’s development agenda.

GBuhari-oilen. Buhari who visited the newly elected Senators and House of Representatives members who are undergoing induction course in preparation for the 8th National Assembly in Abuja also said that the decline in revenue would affect the reconstruction of devastated areas in the country as a result of insurgency.

He reminded the elected members of the 8th assembly of the challenges the nation had been facing which he also said would continue in the near future.

The challenges according to him include general insecurity and insurgency that has caused extreme human hardship and destruction of lives, livelihoods that would take over a decade to rebuild across most of North Eastern Nigeria and some parts of North western Nigeria.

Another threat to his administration according to him was the devastation and environmental degradation in the Niger Delta area which he said must be attended to.

Others include, “endemic corruption which has crippled human and infrastructure development for decades. Unacceptably poor provision of power supply which has had a crippling effect on development of small businesses and indeed the wider economy.

“Deindustrialization for the past three decades leading to closure of many industries and migration of many to other African countries. Unacceptably high levels of unemployment and especially Youth Unemployment reaching over 40 per cent.”

Besides, Gen. Buhari mentioned high cost of governance that has been crowding out the nation’s capital and human development, erosion of public social services such as infrastructure, health and education as well as lack of development in the agricultural and solid mineral sectors as areas that should be aggressively addressed.

While soliciting the support of the lawmakers, the President-elect said, “The legislature is a critical component and necessary ingredient of democracy and good governance. The legislature by nature is inherently democratic in the sense that all members are equal and are elected representatives of the Nigerian people.

“As President-elect, I recognize this fact and believe that legislators carry this heavy burden of representation with all the seriousness it deserves.

“For a president to be successful in addressing community development and general welfare of the various people of the country, he or she would benefit from working closely and in harmony with the legislative arm of government.

“I therefore commit myself to working with the legislature as development partners motivated by the desire to deliver good governance”.

He commended President Goodluck Jonathan for the role he played in the sustenance of democratic institution by accepting election result, saying that Nigeria was in the threshold of history.

Bemoaning high cost of governance, he said, “First and foremost, appropriate policies need to be put in place and such policies may have to be translated into laws.

“Secondly, the oversight functions of the legislature is critical in ensuring that policies are implemented effectively and transparently. Therefore, my mission to bring integrity into governance would better succeed if complemented with a strong culture of transparent oversight.

“We need to collaborate on the budget process and restructuring of the public sector so as to collectively tackle the menace of high recurrent cost at the expense of capital and human development.”

“There is an urgent need to contain this high state of insecurity. All of you are representing various communities. We need to work together to address the problem from both its roots and manifestations.

“The strongest mitigating forces at this point are to redress the power sector deficits, encourage investments that are job creating and focus on human development and reconstruction. We also need to deploy efforts in conflict resolution and peace building in all our communities.

“I am here today, to invite you to work with the executive as partners in progress, as champions of good governance and development and as warriors for change. Together, we can make this nation great and as a role model in Africa and other emerging economies and democracies.”

President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, David Mark, who ushered in the President-elect into the International Conference Centre, in company of other leaders of the National Assembly, described the visit as historic.

Noting that it was the first time a President-elect was considering it worthwhile to address a joint session of the National Assembly, Mark agreed it was a historic meeting in the journey of democracy.

For the Speaker, House of Representative and Governor-elect, Sokoto State, Honourable Aminu W. Tambuwal, Buhari has extended a hand of fellowship to the legislature by his personal visit.

Tambuwal however expressed hope that his colleagues would reciprocate Buhari’s gesture by also extending a sincere hand of fellowship to the President-elect when his government fully takes over.

mekadinho:
BUHARI STOP GIVING EXCUSES, WE R WAITING FOR U, WE GO TRASH U WELLA FOR SOCIAL MEDIA IF U DO NT PERFORM, THE KIND OF BASH GEJ GOT FROM SOCIAL MEDIA IS JUST 10% TO WHAT U LL GET IF U DON'T PERFORM.

lexy2014:
that isn't buhari's quote. It is what d writer of article said buhari said. In a quote u don't c "he said...", "his administration...". Instead if d heading was genuine u c words like "I will...","my administration's...".that's what I was looking out 4 unfortunately I didn't c it. In all d confirmed quotes in d article, buhari didn't even mention anything about oil price. Check again

Penssuwa:
This one Mr. President elect is giving excuses before assuming office, it seems the wave of reality is hitting him.

Filmewell:
is not about plagiarism or regulation. it makes you look like a retard .pardon me for using that word . how would you see someone who responds to everybody with the same words. really its annoying soon no one would want to discuss with you because they see as someone whose imaginations is limited.

LabiTalks:
I think it is best for people to read the body of the news and get proper understanding before commenting. You should not allow the media to just play on your intelligence with buzzy headlines, afterall, are there not other challenges mentioned there?. Baba has never been a one chance and He will never be. He only listed challenges and not excuses, so do not see it as any issue. We are all aware that He is able and will deliver, so its too early to start jumping at a wrong conclusion. If you have problem with this, then maybe you should try and get a better understanding of the difference between excuses and chanllenges.
