Nigeria Needs President Buhari As Minister Of Defence, Not Petroleum by OBSEQUIOUS(op): 4:09pm On Oct 05, 2015
When Buhari gave the famous speech at eagle square that military command center will be moved to battle area everyone clapped for a general and commander in chief ready to lead his army.
Yes! We need a general to quash boko haram according to APC propaganda, and yes! We got THE GENERAL.

(1). Has general Buhari been to the command center since he moved them their? Or he simply sent a civilian Osinbajo with no "military experience" like Jonathan?.

(2). Has general Buhari visited any of the explosion sites like the "weak" Jonathan did?.

(3). Has there not been more bombings in 3 months under the general than it was in 3 years under "the civilian" Jonathan?

(4). They say Jonathan celebrated independence day inside Aso rock because of fear of boko haram, now the GENERAL who made gallant statement at eagle square and ordered the military chiefs to defeat boko haram in 3 months hide himself and the legion of guards in same Aso rock this year as boko haram were relentlessly bombarded Abuja.

(5). How come there is this criminal silence on the almost daily killings and raiding and bombings going on in the north by both boko haram and Fulani cowboys killing and destroying towns and villages and even adding kidnapping now (ask Pa Olu Falae) despite us having a general as president?, oh! I get it, if the people know and are adequately informed about the cases, then it will deflate the "we have conquered boko haram" lies.

(6). THE REAL DANGER IS NO LONGER IN THE ATTACKS BUT IN THE DELIBERATE CONCEALING OF TRUTH ABOUT THE ATTACKS JUST TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE WAR IS OVER.

(7). They keep showing us how many boko haram fuel depot and foodstuffs they discovered all over the place and YET no discovery of the CHIBOUK GIRLS upon whose (abduction??) they based one of their strongest propaganda against Jonathan.

(cool. Bombs does not discriminate, it doesn't know if you are APC, PDP, APGA or of any political party or religious background, so it is something that must be roundly condemned by all well meaning Nigerian, BUT WHEN POLITICIANS USE A BAD SITUATION LIKE THE BOKO HARAM THING AS PROPAGANDA TO WIN ELECTION ONLY FOR THEM TO START LOOKING FOR EXCUSES FOR FAILING TO STOP IT, THEN WE SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY WORRIED FOR OUR DEAR NATION.
If Buhari has anything "GENERAL" in him, let him take the Defence ministry (that is where Nigeria need him now)and not the petroleum ministry.

We shall continue to pray that God expose those behind the killing of innocent Nigerians.
LET BUHARI TAKE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AS "THE GENERAL" HE IS, THEN WE CAN TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY.

He is already the C-in-C of the Armed Forces so he needs to double as Minister of Finance so he ensure all sources of finance are gaged.

whatever happened to his long experiences of being a galant soldier And a great animal farmer? I think Buhari would do exceedingly well if he doubles as minister of defense/agric.

Baba is right to be the "minister of petroleum". We don't want corrupt minister in that position.
Re: Nigeria Needs President Buhari As Minister Of Defence, Not Petroleum by chesterlee(m):
]My thoughts exactly...






During the campaign period, VP Osinbajo convinces us thato us Buhari would lead the war against Boko Haram.

ATM the country is in all time low security wise.
Boko Haram are becoming more ferocious.
Fulani cattle rearers are maiming, kidnapping and raping like never before.
ND militants are just a time bomb waiting to explode.


If Buhari really intends to double as a minister, the Ideal ministry should be that of DEFENCE!!!

The president appears to be a coward as he couldn't even visit the bomb sites rather he ran to the hospitals doing rounds as if he is the chief matron. Please somebody should tell the president he was elected to be the commander in chief and not a chief matron.

wait till one of your own falls victim, unfortunately U will find answers.
its just a question that require logical explanation without sarcasm and insult. What is wrong with deliberating over an issue? Na waoo.. If you know the answer to the question, you answer if not you hold your peace after all this thread is something that can easily pass for a TV talk show with questions being thrown from the public. Gosh what is wrong with our youths of nowadays? Anyway I didn't type in your moniker in the first place. You are free to quote me.
