Thank you we like it like that. As you say over there slow and steady....
We will get there...
Oga bloomberg with what PDP has done since 1999 at their fastest pace, yet we clamoured for CHANGE because their fastness only brought us high rate of unemployment, dilapidated infrastructures etc
To me I prefer Buhari slow pace to 16 years of PDP...
The end justifies the means
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss, and no loss without pain...[/s]

WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENTS OF BUHARI SO FAR:

1. He showed us pictures of himself fastening his shoelace and stepping into his cow farm.

2. He showed us pictures of himself standing like a gateman and waiting for David Cameron in London.

3. He showed us pictures of himself sitting next to Obama at the G7 Summit, wearing headphones and secretly listening to "Baa Turenchi".

4. He showed pictures of himself alighting a golf cart and shaking hands with a man at the G7 summit.

5. He invited pro-Lawan senators to the ICC for a bowl of gworo while national assembly elections were in session.

6. He showed us pictures of himself and his son at his cow farm while Boko Haram was slitting the throats of his citizens in Maiduguri.

7. The same day suicide bombers were detonating at Maiduguri markets, Buhari was receiving a chieftancy title in Daura.

8. He ordered the construction of a helipad in his hometown of Daura. His very FIRST capital project as president.

9. He granted independence to the Republic of West Germany and elected Michelle (from Destiny's Child) as the president.

10. He showed us pictures of himself breaking his Ramadan fast at Aso Rock, holding a microphone at his 10-seater dining table.

Wonderful!
Chai Buhari! cool

In life, you build from the ground to the top. The only thing built from the top to the bottom is the grave.

When building a bridge, the amount of time spent on the foundation alone is enough to build a storey-building. The fact that you aren't seeing the bridge on top of the waters doesn't mean it isn't being built.

Buhari is presently dismantling the economic slums and political shanties built by the Clueless one and his gang of thieves.
In all my time in NL, no post has ever touched me like the quote above
So true, so unique, so real that one can't help but think about everything u said above.

I was beginning to think that perhaps PMB was begining to delay unnecessarily but your profound words just knock some bitter truth and sense into what d old man is doing behind d scene.
Little wonder my people say "fire when dey burn girigiri nor dey 'done' food"
Change is loading patiently.

From transformation to change
From GEJ to baba go slow
From Good luck to Badluck
From progressing to retrogressing
From carrying everyone along to carrying northerners along
From "power not worth the blood of my people" to "baboons and dogs soaked in blood"
From being fairly independent to depending on western Germany et al
From winning the war against boko to losing the war against boko

clearly the Nigerian people have incurred the wrath of the heavens for shortchanging the real change for sham and fraudulent chanji!!

How (at the bolded). And how is he dismantling the shanties built by pdp ? This observation was not made by pdp or the Tanoids oh! It's by the same Americans that you people claim hold him in high esteem.
If Buhari wants to fight corruption, let him probe the past administrations. He knows what to do. People say Gej was not bold enough to step on toes. Let Buhari start probing. That's the main reason he was voted in. Let him start working and quit talking. We are still waiting for Buhari to begin his probe.
The probe is already ongoing.

Is Bloomberg also a TANoid huh

Let's stop all these pre-election name-calling and labelling of any objective analysis and assessment of public officials. Elections were over since April 2015. Some of the people voicing opinion here were die-hard Buhari supporters, and voted for him. You don't own Buhari. He belongs to everybody. He does not need your protection.

The expectations were pretty high, and Buhari knew this and assured the people he was more than equal to the task. The public expected the rot they will meet on the ground will be enormous. The assumption was that he will start on a clean slate, and he should not expect much by way of functioning systems.

His election policy think-tank and various committees knew all these and more. They had access to lots of intelligence information on inner workings of GEJ govt, including confidential information on financial dealings and revenue accruing to govt. These classified info were used effectively during the campaigns. Why was all these info not used for planning for the new Buhari govt?

They assured the nation they will even start running even before hitting the ground. Buhari even set up what amounted to a parallel govt after the results were announced. He could not wait for the inauguration and was eager to start. He even started making policy statements, receiving foreign envoys, and commenced diplomatic shuttles. At a point the then PDP govt had to warn him that he is running a parallel govt. So what exactly is holding Buhari down from moving after mounting the seat? El-Rufai seems to be making steady and good progress in Kaduna.

These people were ready to kill, and actually killed in some instances to get into office at all levels. They must be ready to discharge the enormous duties of the office with the same favour they sought the office.

Coming back to President Buhari. He tried to take this office 4 times. A man who attempted an exam 4 times cannot claim not to be ready for the outcome of an exam he tried 4 times to pass. It is like a child who attempted JAMB 4 times, and made it on the 4th attempt. After passing, he now seems confused when told to resume classes at the University.

“He doesn’t say anything about anything,”
This about sums everything up.

Nigerians should not expect any tangible development or economic growth from Buhari, he really has nothing to offer and that is the honest and brutal truth, but some won't just admit it.

Sometimes change can mean a completely different this, that is it doesn't necessary translates to success. If in doubt ask the Libyans, the Syrians, the Tunisians.

Enough said.

nigerians dont understand how much damage the military and PDP did to this country. Nigerians can never be satisfied. Nigerians dont know what they want. We should realise that the next set of ministers are going to enjoy so much freedom and space to operate as baba is too old to run after incompetent ministers. I think nigerians should exercise patient. PMB means wel for this country.
So before PDP Started ruling 16 yrs ago, Nigeria is a PARADISE ??

Whatever we face today started long time ago.... actually i dont know your age grin

Its only a fool that does same thing over and over again and expect difference result.

The time to change our system of governance is NOW!!!

Federal system no longer working for Nigeria. The earlier we change the system the better
Re: Bloomberg - US Think Tank Calls Buhari "Baba Go Slow" by Nobody: 9:40pm On Jul 01, 2015

We don't want slow tortoise as president. Certainly not in the vicinity of Aso Rock.
Buhari did not tell us he will be a slow President when he assumes office. Agility in decision making was one of his selling points.

We need to begin to see some action. FAST>>>>>

Re: Bloomberg - US Think Tank Calls Buhari "Baba Go Slow" by Nobody: 9:45pm On Jul 01, 2015
You guys should just kept quiet, 1month out of 48months shouldn't be a criteria for judging the performance of someone in any endeavor of life... Though am a big fan of GEJ, I am positive Buhari will do justice to most of the things he promised.... You guys are going to make APC laugh at last, Buhari should be scrutinized if he hasn't done nothing but 1month is a very minute time to fix a country as corrupt, sick and vast like Nigeria

Thanks to the social media of this era as the contraption can no more be hidden as it's used to in the past, particularly by a section of the country.

The whole world is watching Buhari through the social media contents of mainly southern Nigerians

Equally is the fact that the world is aware of all dissenting or pressure groups in the country, watching how Buhari reacts to them within the

extant international laws.

He rode on the back of hateful social media to power and same would be used to strongly checkmate him for the next 47 months

Good

All you that 'liked' this must be having the problem of the slow yourself if you didn't complain about Yar'adua. I detest Buhari for the inadequacy of his thinking (or may I say lack of aptitude?) in not appointing ministers yet. Try to remember, though, that it took Yar'adua almost eight months. Perhaps, we should stop electing Hausas.


Anyway, I know you mother*fu*c*king f*o*o*ls are Ib*os. Still, when next are you f*u*ck*ers going to even sniff that exalted seat? I doubt that it may be in the next hundred years.


It seems I'm just calling for another ban!
