LOL at spokesmen! I can imagine both the physical and spiritual battles he's currently facing. My sympathy and empathy is with him.

Nigeria political elites rely heavily on ritualised juju to curry favours so one can understand challenges and confusions facing PMB. I doubt if his fragile body can withstand such unleashing of the dark powers save, he's an angel of light specially equipped for this job.

He must deliver on all his promises regardless of the challenges! He should understand he's under oath.

For those that think it takes only PMB to fix Nigeria....

For those who have Governors, SSS, state Police and still have Boko Haram threats.....


For those who run their mouths at Government, when they can't even mind their own business....

And for those that are missing GEJ (Mr fresh air), he is at Otuoke.


One week in office for PMB! God bless the President (irrespective of who), God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

An illiterate is an illiterate. . .the way the North and south-west voted for an illiterate with no WAEC certificate and expect him to produce a blueprint, draw up strategy manage bla bla bla beats me. You cannot plant cassava and expect to see a palm tree. What you have done is remove a working govt of GEJ and put a confused dullard putting the Africa biggest Economy in reverse gear and the small agricultural minister that was growing agriculture, they chased him away to AFDB to sit in an office and speak English when he could be of better use here in Nigeria growing the Agriculture sector
PMB has a literate vp,so why the loud cry.waec certificate does not give intelligence,what did GEJ do with his Phd,nothing,so stop this blind hate and watch the new change unfolding gradually.

I miss you, GEJ.
You're obviously a teenager from your post.

For your info, there can't be any minister now since the president needs to submit their names to the NASS for approval. So, he cannot name any minister for now. Not until the Senate returns from their recess in July.

Are there no Service Chiefs? Has the president sacked any of them?

Whoever wrote that article is a block head. In fact, his mumu no get part 2.

Are you aware that David Cameron was a sitting prime minister (for 5years) before he was re-elected?? Are you aware that he retained most of his existing cabinet members and only appointed new ones to fill the posts of the ministers from the Lib Dem party which were no longer part of the coalition as they lost most of their MPS in the election?

So how can you compare a sitting Prime Minister to a newly elected president?

Were there suicide bombers during the Falkland war? What was the motive behind the Falkland war? Comparing the Falkland war during Margaret Thatcher's tenure (1982) and Boko haram in 2015 and expecting the same military tactics/strategy is clear proof that the writer is a dunce. Complete dunce.

But what we are seeing now is not at par with what we expected.

The writer of that post made valid points that I was at a loss for words on what to comment.

If you say Buhari will perform, what is he waiting for? We need to start feeling his impact my dear.

APC used the social media and the media holistically to win the hearts of a sizable chunk of our populace.

This time, the media won't cut it.
Action will.
Action Bro.

That said, despite my all time scepticism of the change chants and movement, I haven't categorically joined the "DoomSayers" yetsmiley

If I ever do, then know that Nigeria, under this administration is beyond redemption cool

Apologies for tagging you one of the"doomsayer",the reason I tagged you is because you seem to be in bed with a lot of"them"here.You know those I'm talking about,don't you? wink wink

The media played a great role in ensuring APC swept the poll clean,are you by anyway blaming the media for doing its primary duties which are to:Entertain,inform and educate the public shocked shocked

"The sizeable chunk of the populace"were simply tired of PDP and its inept government of over 15yrs,weren't you tired?Are you still blaming the media?

The writer like you pointed out was making valid points until he inseted"A better-prepared Atiku",I was also at loss of words on whether to take him serious or not tongue tongue.

In other words, the op is advocating/campaigning for Atiku when elections are over. I don't know why you guys want Buhari to fix Nigeria within seven days....something the Otuoke guy failed to do in five years. Don't push him any further. We don't need Ministers like Madam Oduah, Madueke and the Nebo guy, etc. GMB needs time so he doesn'nt make damagers ministers.

Re: Buhari Is Failing Already-Yemi Adebowale by Nobody: 9:41am On Jun 06, 2015
SenseiX:
It seems President Muhammadu Buhari doesn’t know that elections are over and it is time to start actualizing his promises. The first few days of a new President in office matter a great deal. Acting authoritatively within 24 hours of being sworn will send the right signal to all that he is ready to implement change. Buhari has already failed in this regard. He is supposed to hit the ground running considering the mirage of problems facing this nation. The new President simply hit the ground and sat down there. The cabal controlling Nigeria has already ringed him. He could not appoint a Secretary to the Federal Government, seven days after his inauguration. He could not even appoint a Chief of Staff. He is struggling with his list of ministers. So many interest groups within his ruling All Progressives Congress are holding him by the jugular. Ogbonnaya Onu and Rotimi Amaechi are battling for the position of SGF. Buhari should be reminded that a forward-looking leader like David Cameron of the United Kingdom announced his cabinet with 48 hours of emerging victorious.


Our dear Buhari could not even appoint a spokesman. He ended up appointing spokesmen. I have never heard of this in any sane society. He has Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu appointed as spokesmen just to satisfy diverse interest groups. Ever heard of leaders like Barack Obama or David Cameron operating with spokesmen? This is an agenda for chaos in the media management area.

I can’t understand why Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Barde and Army Chief, Kenneth Minimah are still in office. If we are talking about change and wiping out Boko Haram, the men in charge of the war’s Command and Control ought not to be in office by this time. Buhari obviously has no blueprint on how to handle Boko Haram. These bastards have killed over 300 people in the last seven days. The President has directed that the defence headquarters be moved to Maiduguri. There is clearly no sense in this. Buhari simply wants to jeopadise the Command and Control Centre. The United States did not move the Pentagon to the Gulf region during the Gulf war. Yet, they decapitated Iraqi forces. United Kingdom did not move its defence headquarters to the Falkland during the war with Argentina over the Falkland. Buhari’s directive is an archaic military strategy. This is obviously unnecessary in modern warfare. Obviously, our dear President has no blueprint for tackling the Boko Haram problem. All he did during the election was to excoriate Goodluck Jonathan’s security failure. He had no plans of his own.

The next thing the President did was to dash to Niger and Chad to talk to their leaders about curtailing Boko Haram. Yes, this would help in shortening trans-border terrorism. But how will this stop ongoing suicide bombings inside Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states by the blood-thirsty Boko Haram? The suicide bombers are obviously not crossing into the country from the neighbouring countries. They are within the country, manufacturing and using Improvised Explosive Devices. They are using petrol and gas cylinders, all obtained within the country, for suicide bombings. Intelligence gathering and technology are key to detecting and curtailing the deadly activities of these suicide bombers. We need to put our internal security in order before running to Chad and Niger republics.

I am also surprised that heads of failed government departments and agencies that have done collateral damages to this country are still in office eight days after Buhari’s inauguration. How can the leadership of the Customs and Excise still be in office by this time? Why should the leadership of the NNPC and the NERC still be in office? The leadership of the FIRS is still in office, yet we are talking about change. Change in this direction should come within 24 hours. We are still waiting for our dear President to act.
[b]Buhari response to the power crisis in his inauguration speech was also appalling. How can the President say that, “careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians.” So, the President did not do a thorough study of the power crisis and the way forward before campaigning to take over from Jonathan? So, the President has no blueprint on how to tackle the power crisis? So, Buhari is just about assembling a team to decide on what to do? That should have been in his bag already. It is part of what is called hitting the ground running in governance. I hope we have not entered a one chance bus? I guess that was why Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo sent him his own blueprint on the power crisis. My humble suggestion is for Buhari to quickly go after Atiku Abubakar and collect his comprehensive blueprint on how to tackle crisis in virtually all the sectors of our economy. A better-prepared Atiku commissioned a very reliable team to do this during his campaign for Presidency. But the APC painfully denied him their Presidential ticket. It is a pity that a well-prepared Atiku may never become the President of this country because we always celebrate mediocrity. [/b]

Buhari has also left many bemused by his refusal to make public his asset declaration. Garba Shehu said, “President Muhammadu Buhari has declared his assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If anyone is interested in knowing details of his asset worth, such a person can avail himself or herself of the use of Freedom of Information Act to seek the information from the bureau.” What an insult. One of Buhari’s key campaign promises was public declaration of assets and liabilities. How can he now do this to Nigerians? Late President Umaru Yar’Adua made public his asset declaration after submitting to the Code of Conduct Bureau. Clearly, Buhari has something to hide. The National Secretary of the Labour Party, Kayode Ajulo was right when he accused the President of failing to keep  the covenant he had with Nigerians to publish his assets publicly. Ajulo said: “The promise on the declaration of assets made to Nigerians was to woo voters. Now, the voters have fulfilled their part of the agreement. It is left for Buhari to fulfill the other part, failure of which is a clear violation of the social contract he had with millions of Nigerians.”

Now, the President has approval for 15 Special Advisers. What does he want to do with all these men? These Special Advisers will also have a retinue of special assistants. They will also need to maintain offices and vehicles. So, where is the belt tightening which our President promised in this scenario? On removal of fuel subsidy, Buhari is still shivering, eight days after inauguration. May Allah help Nigeria.

You call them doomsayer, I call them realists, forerunners.

Has it occurred to you that the meal these folks you talk about are currently serving this administration could actually be a repertoire of the " What goes around, comes around" parlance?

When you talk about this supposed PDP that the nation is tired of, I'm bemused.

It feels like you're saying, the nation was tired of corruption under letters P, D and P and decided to try it out under letter A, P and C.

Because last I checked, the ACN and CPC were mere regional parties until the crack heads and corruption personified bottlenecks in the PDP threw their weight behind them.

You now see why I maintain that APC is an evil party?

Tell me, look at everyone that ran away from PDP, who or what were they running from? Perchance that Umbrella no longer served their purposes? Because as far as I know...they are/were the pillars of the party.

Why are we Nigerians so quick to forget, why are we easily swayed?

The same person we saw no good in, in the year 2011 has suddenly become the best thing since ice cream in 2015?

The writer said Atiku was better prepared and he gave facts to buttress his point, or are you averse to the truth also?

Well, we look forward to building a party based on resilience and true democratic tenets...especially now that the corruption togas have jumped shipgrin

All this useless and stinking bloody civilians.
Is Nigeria fighting war with another country or fighting an internal war? Is Maiduguri part of Nigeria or Not?

If Nigeria was at war with Cameroon I will understand that the defence cant be moved there....

So all these senseless comparisons with countries that fought external wars should be thrown into the thrash bin.
