I will however point out that this government seems directionless. How do you intend to govern a nation without having a blue print of sorts, a game plan, one that should be communicated to the people, to boost confidence and goodwill all round.

baralatie:
Wrong guys when talking about treads mehnnn!
They will be here throwing insults all over the tread!

MizMyColi:
I do not advise Mr President to seek the option of the media as the chief means to propagate goodwill among the people he leads. Let his actions speak! Let it speak! and leave people to be the judge.

U have'nt mention,omenka,soe,efilefun,midiloan,modath just bcus you only want to listen to what pleases ur ears and not the other way round.

MizMyColi:
I did not read the comments on that thread aside the OP's, because I didn't want others' train of thoughts to influence mine.

This is my take....

The writer obviously seeks to paint Mr President in good light which has worked, so far, so good.
Because to be honest, I liked the fact that he looked forward to criticisms and while acknowledging the virility of the social media, does not seem bothered by the seemingly endless tirades against him.

From the original post (assuming Dele Momodu spoke truthfully) I cannot help but see Buhari as a man who means well for this country, even though past antecedents do not tally.

On this note, I will like to talk about the issue of power supply, I was told yesterday, while having a group discussion, on my way back from work, that the president threatened to revoke the license of Power distribution companies, should they not live up to par. I could have as well called that propaganda, but my mind wouldn't let me....
If he truly did that, then tbh I commend him for that.

Except when the issue of ratings came up yesterday, I had earlier soft-pedalled on criticizing and urging Oga Bubu to start work using the militant approach, I figured that these folks have never been in the corridors of federal power, and that it might take up to two years for them to achieve stability and settle down to really governing this nation, but claiming a bogus huff puff 70% on performance so far, so good, felt like an insult to my collective sensibilities.

Like I've always posited, propaganda or not, hypocrisy, lies, double facedness, and worth nots or not...The sane and patriotic citizens of this country, despite our political leanings, all want the same thing....
A Nigeria That Works.
Whether you speak as the opposition or proposition, the onus lies on us to do whatever we can to achieve that, as long as such actions are guided by sincerity of purpose.

I wonder how the rating that 70% of the people are please will insult your sensibilities when the survey was done by NOI (Ngozi Okonjo Iweala who is in the opposition) polls....

Well I don't trust NOI polls either since they got the elections wrong but that's by the way.

If you say the sudden increase in power is not an effect of the present administration, you need to look at things from the angle of it is a combination of both administrations but now we have discipline involved.

The Buhari government ride to government on the premise of zero tolerance on corruption. You see a situation where vandalisms has greatly reduced so the plants have no excuse to not to operate at maximum capacity. You have a situation where even the vandals know it is not business as usual and they are keeping away. This has led to Egbin producing 1GW which it has never done before
I also laugh when people mention Kanji and water lever. If only they know how much power Kanji supplies.

You claim that the present government does not have a blueprint but you have failed to see the current move by the government to cut its own expenditure and throw such back into projects.

Just last week, the VP(he is the coordinating minister for the economy too) started reviewing the agricultural policy of the nation to implement the campaign promise of the government maintaining price stability by buying the products from the farmers and then storing these products and releasing it to the markets. This on its own is going to create a high number of jobs because we are looking at the government having to build(or have investors) storage and processing facilities. Since about 50% of Nigeria's agricultural produce is lost due to storage, we are looking at a possible drop in price in produce and also guarantee income for the farmers.

@Mynd44
Isn't it strange that when the present government comes under scrutiny most APC supporters deploy their usual defence of give the govt time?
1. You people would want us to believe Buhari is responsible for the recent upsurge in electricity distrubution without telling us his actual input that necessitated these gains.
What has Buhari done in the energy sector to take credits, if the industry was not performing you and the rest of his supporters would have insisted that the rot in that industry woould take years to eliminate. You failed to recognize the input of the last administration in the power sector and 2 the seasonal advantages of kainji water level.

Stop using the defence ''is not business as usual'' because APC repeated this line in different guises during the election. I remember APC saying it won't be business as usual for boko haram when General Buhari takes over. 3. Since the fight against insurgents have yielded no result, I no longer hear APC supporters saying because Buhari was an ex army General boko haram are trembling in their shoes.

Wildrage:
Balanced and open minded assessment of Dele's narrative of his encounter with Mr President, wish I could share in your magnanimous optimism, but knowing the major players in APC, their combative approach to national discourse, penchant for propaganda, I will urge a large dose of caution before giving this govt the benefit of doubt. Never in our checkered history have we had a govt so tardy in its approach to governance, directionless and purposeless with every steps so far taken. From the inaugural day pronouncement of relocation of command centre to Borno state, even before adequate consultation with security personnel, the flip flop on the removal of rd blocks, the acrimonious election of NASS principal officers and the recent directive that pegged dollar at N160 for religious excursion, it's been one gaffe after the other. They came in with no clear cut blueprint save some potpourri of unattainable objectives. Since taking over, all the narrative has been all about lowering our expectation rather than inspiring hope about what's achievable.

Dele momodu is a well known "alright sir" journalist so his invitation by the president and his account of what transpired should be construed from the perspective of his antecedent. He is not only a Card carrying APC member , but one of the loudest vuvuzelas in the well orchestrated campaign of calumny against the last administration. There are many objective, serious minded journalist out there if Buhari is willing to showcase his new found tolerance and reception for dissenting views. Dele has been an unapologetic "Famzer" to the likes Amaechi, Saraki and any politician willing and able to butter his bread

The alleged ultimatum to the electricity companies is also a stupid propaganda by a directionless govt. You can give what does not exist, if the capacity to generate was not there, the ultimatum is futile. It's a known fact that generation improves during raining season when the tide at the hydro dams are usually high, if nothing is done to complement the existing capacity btw now and the dry season we would surely be back to where we were

MizMyColi:
I'm with you on this, however, I commended him for the threat he issued, which obviously has seen them fall into line.
It is one thing to have all the equipment and capital going for you as an employer of labour, and another thing to have a willing and motivated staff who will combine the resources at their disposal to produce efficient and effective output.
You catch my drift?

themilanway:
What I'm trying hard to fathom is,how and why are you guys willing to tolerate another 4yrs of Jonathan mal adminstration of 6yrs,yet same set of you bluntly refuse to give Buhari atleast 1yr benefit of doubt.

You guys also want him to right all the wrongs of past adminstrations?In 3 months?

Isnt this hypocrisy?

Mynd44:
3. You say we are losing the war against Boko Haram but really? Have you considered that BH are now not able to hold parts of the country due to the agreements with chad and Niger and with these countries cooperating with us, they have no hiding place and now we are dealing with an enemy that does not have enough might to laugh a frontal assault hence turns to suicide bombing

MizMyColi:
I have said it before that JP is always angry.
It is too early to start dissipating negative energy on the thread.

You mean this one by the APC governor of Kaduna state:

Mynd44:
I. You ask for the direct influence of the present administration in power. You forget the government decided to stop the contracts to militant groups and instead put the money into the security agencies and have them secure these assets. If you go through the assessments of the ministry of power, most of the rise in power is associated with gas supply. Another point you fail to see is that the feeling at the top affects what happens in their agencies. You know you have an administration that will not tolerate incompetence and you will not let yourself fall back. That alone makes people sit up

2. Kanji? Do you know how much power Nigeria generates from Kanji? If Kanji is running and the gas plants are not, the rise in generation will not happen.

3. You say we are losing the war against Boko Haram but really? Have you considered that BH are now not able to hold parts of the country due to the agreements with chad and Niger and with these countries cooperating with us, they have no hiding place and now we are dealing with an enemy that does not have enough might to laugh a frontal assault hence turns to suicide bombing

kaboninc:
Firstly, on the advantages of revoking a license which was duly and transparently issued, fine Mr. Buhari can decide to revoke these licenses just because they are not performing as expected but we should understand that there are rules, guidelines and procedures and consequences to follow before revoking licenses in a highly competitive and critical sector as the Power Sector; else they'll end up killing the confidence in the market and that erodes interest and the people will suffer for it. We'd be back to square half!

Why most people are aghast with this APC government especially someone like Mr. Buhari who has shown strong interests in becoming the President is because they appear not to know what they are in for. It is not about acquiring power but knowing what to do with it. In a sane country, you ought to have started work...things like hinting the policy direction in various sectors of the economy. That's very important but what we have is just a standstill. Another was the promise of hitting the ground running. We are still on the ground. About to run but not running!

Is it not shameful that these APC fellows are claiming the gains - such as improved power supply across the country - of the previous administration as theirs? An administration of less than two months? As they made us to believe, supposing Mr. Jonathan left a comatose economy, why are the people not tensed? This government said there was virtually an empty treasury (by Mr. Buhari himself) but salaries are being paid at the Federal Levels and by some prudent resourceful States to their employees, Universities are still on, Hospitals and other Government institutions are still up and running. So why the unnecessary hype?

They should get working because they sure do have a lot to do, chiefly is removing the saw dust from their eyes.

Yes the President may mean well for us...at least in his heart...but the utterances from him most especially is conflicting, confusing and saddening. Come to think of it,

Did we hear or read or notice or observe Jonathan making scatting remarks about his predecessors or their actions, most especially the scam in Obasanjo's administration? The Halliburton Scandal? Even with the power sector collapse, the economic meltdown (God gave him wisdom there), the poor roads, the universities, the rice dumping (thank God for people like Adesina, the terrible security situation in the North East and rampart spate of kidnapping (yet we hosted the World Economic Forum and attracted huge FDI) and many others?

That is a leader who got the ground running!

Mr. Dele Momodu is just courting the King. He wants to tell his royal majesty that he is still in town and played a role in making Mr. Buhari, the King. He is just a court jester!

Jesusloveyou:
u are just useless and clueless like ur hero, have u not read that is because of no vandalism that make -up for d increment of power supply, or have u see too much rainfall this year, that make-up for overflow of riverbank? Try to be sensible
