I Don't Understand How Anyone Could Have Voted For Buhari by kYjelly2(op): 1:08am On Feb 19, 2016
Even on Yahoo blogs after the election, folks from other countries were asking how a country could have elected a former dictator.

Are we so dumb, that out of 160 million people, we couldn't find someone fresh? so we had to go back in time to bring back someone that stole the presidential mandate with a gun?

I just don't get it!

Daily, you here about Nigerians breaking records abroad and Even just recently a Nigerian solved an age old mathematics problem that had evaded solution from others for years.

So out of all the extraordinary Nigerians, we still had to go back and bring a dictator back?

Why are black people like this? I hate to generalize, but in this case, it just seems that the general population is filled with dumb people, or maybe overly sentimental and tribal people, which is still falls under the definition of dumb in my opinion.

Sad that we keep getting things wrong. I hope one day, we will put our brains to good use and critically analyze a candidate, though that may be hard to do for an illiterate population.

I don't just know whaat we are going to get from this old fella called president. He took him 7months to appointed ministers and his executives under the guise of selecting the best still we ended up people like lai mohammad , amaechi and co, still the economy is sinking day by day, am wondering those e - warriors supporting this situation of economy of doom that see what buhari does is the best, now am asking them "where is thy brain" nigeria is sinking gradually.

My brother you should know that it is not Nigerian masses who determine who becomes president. Yes we file out to thumb print on election day but that is just like calling multitudes for a job interview when you already know who will be chosen.

Like it or not Nigerian political structure and Nigeria itself is controlled by the Military. After the cilvil war these sets of people feel because they came out victorious that Nigeria belongs to them and them alone.Okay check out all the presidents since 1999. OBJ( Anointed by ibb and co) Yaradua ( Anointed by OBJ ), Jonathan( Anointed by OBJ- and Lost after falling out with him). Now Buhari and next president will be anointed by Buhari. So just go with the flow till these cabals will all pass away.

2017 budget will beat record... ₦1 quadrillion!, all the social sectors will be substantially finance to trillions ₦, poverty will be completely eradicated and by the end of year 2018 Nigeria will be declared a developed state and classify one of the first three country in the index of human .
I know you will argue on how this can happen with the economics situation of today, low foreign reserve, low oil price, with depreciation of ₦.
yes oil price is down, foreign reserve is dry but we still have foreign looted fund reserve at hand! when recovered and well managed, it won't be problem to have money for this budget!
we can only pray that a $ hit ₦1000 and all $1 trillion looted recovered!
I know for sure that with the determination of this government and the support of foreign nation to help recovered all $ trillion looted it will happen.....$1 trillion recovered and change to ₦ will give us ₦1 quadrillion needed to financ that budget!
year 2017 bye bye to poverty!

While I agree with you to an extent. I don't agree that Nigeria is controlled by the military, rather I will put it that it is a cabal that runs the country made up of ex-military men.

Buhari seems to have placed the country on permanent reverse since May 29th, 2015.

If he can't move us forward, let him better apply brakes and leave us where we are now.

Oops! but where we are now is already too bad!!!

Hope this is not a hopeless case.

If we focus on developing our economy as we focus on the exchange rate, by now we wouldn't have needed the exchange rate to dictate our economy

Those people you refer to as illiterate because they refuse to vote for a thief who spent all his six years in power to loot the treasury are more wiser than you.

...and you have long one!
here is a theory on how ₦=$ can you proof me wrong.
....there are very many commentary on depreciation of ₦ nowadays expecially in parallel market, although parallel or black market can be manipulated by the traders, they either do it on their self interest, so those who doesn't beleive in the prosperity of nigeria can harbour $ as they can on imported goods hereby cause hike!
But in my own point of view the depreciation of ₦ is a great success to this nation if well manage to nigeria situation today. the looted fund is in $ and it must be refunded back in $, so if $1 is ₦198 when the money is looted, then if the money is refund today at $1 to ₦350 the nation has gained ₦152!
imagine if $1=₦1000, the gain is ₦902!
So in conclusion if the government managed to refund the $trillion looted and the refunded money, change it in parallel market, this will reduce the pressure on ₦ and the scarcity of $ in parallel market so the ₦=$.

(take note all the money took out of CBN during jonathan regime were changed in parallel market before ditributed)

you have other opinion?

Unless that pure water is imported from america, then your frustration is misplaced. Btw the current situation was not created by buhari. Buhari isnt responsible for the decline in oil price or your wilful refusal to buy made in nigeria products! So think with your brain and stop being unrealistically sentimental!
