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.

@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?
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 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. 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.

Caseless:
mizmycoli, nothing describe the immutability that's typical of Nigerians than this post .

The line in bold got me wondering if you were not here when the nascent or infant opposition party kept asking why BUHARI has not turned the fortune of Nigeria in 30 days which they helped to downwarp for 16 years; of course, their demands call for that approval rating and I can confirm to you that the poll was timely and , we toast to it.

PDP can counternand BUHARI's effort as they like, that can't make them(efforts) hidden to any discerning mind.


I see your criticism with subtlety, I think , it is ok.

MizMyColi:
I will just go ahead and ignore the big big grammars, we will deal with it on the grammar thread.

Of course I know there are lotsa folks who are just being mischievous with spurious demands (which I mustn't fail to remind you, were chiefly orchestrated by the president in the form of campaign promises).

Even among your camp, there is an unsettling ease.
What we've seen mostly is mainly mouth action, and like I posited earlier, "Nigerians voted for more" it's either you give them more, or expect more backlash.

He promised to hit the ground running, not so?
So why the delay?
Let's not even go into the "PDP nearly destroyed Nigeria homily"
I'm pretty sure they were well of that as they toured the whole nation, resounding into the ears of whoever cared to listen, how PDP has destroyed Nigeria and how they are the change we so direly need.

At least, show us a blue print, a game plan....
In all 12 years of contesting, surely that must have been a time of Intel gathering, a time of planning, and what have you?

As of now, no clear cut direction has been communicated and things keep taking a downward spiral.
We wait...

When you throw the "PDP downwarped" card, I'm poised to ask....
Who and who make up the current APC?

biafranqueen:
As you pointed out in your picture Sis APC are not fresh faces in politics. They have been around for years and had enough billions to spend on policy strategy and tactics, but instead of preparing to govern they decided to funnel it toward propaganda. What makes it even more painful is all they have put forth thus far is making things worst. Those screaming judge him in two years are obviously unaware on how a country can be totally destroyed in 6 months. The blind support reminds me of Hitlar....

I couldn't help but laugh when I read Momodu's point of view on allowing more women in politics because their needs are not as big as that of men and hence that would reduce the level of corruption in government.

Quite an interesting theory although purely based on circular reasoning. I also advocate for women in politics but that should be solely based on merits and void of any sorta nepotism or favouritism.

Back to the matter, I don't think any past or present government has really provided a blue print per say for our Nation. I wouldn't consider the long term and short term agendas as such. These are temporary programs geared at getting us to where we should have been as a Nation.

The people of Nigeria would be ready for a blueprint when they learn to understand or rather get enlightened on the fact that there is a huge difference between a STATE and a NATION. Nigeria is a STATE made up several Nations.

Nation ~ A large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting in a particular STATE or Territory.
(As defined by Oxford Dictionary)

It is therefore safe to say that certain tribes would automatically fit in this definition, which includes the Yoruba Nation, Hausa Nation and the Igbo Nation.

If as a people we still nurture the thought of going our separate ways then no government would be able to provide any sort of blue print for the Nation. We must all realise that as a people we would continually get the kind and type of leaders we deserve. Nigeria would only be built by Nigerians.

I stumbled on a quote recently can't really remember who said it, but goes thus, paraphrased;

"If people feel they have to engage in bloodshed before they can achieve unity then they have no business being together".

I am looking forward to the day we would fully embrace our diversity and have an Ethos similar to the American dream.

God Bless The Federal Republic Of Nigeria.

I suppose you meant 2019...

@
Mizmycoli,

I sight you hun

To be forthright with you, am still observing this Government.

I don't want to be hasty just yet drawing conclusions on whether they are going to bring to reality or not their pronunciamento.

Of course, from what we hear and read, its quite patent that The President means well for the Nigeria citizenry, hence its my earnest prayers/desires that his actions bears tangible proofs to his words.


And to add to your thoughts on Dele Momodu's visit to The President,

I see it as a case where people who are known to trounce the government through mediums they deemed fit tends to rather play the loyal card when placed face to face with same people they've been known to critic.

Isn't that what we termed as being A Staunch Hypocrite?

• Where went that daring voice of critic?

• Was it all about getting attention?

Someone is eager to know.
