If GEJ, the Mr Hero had won the last presidential election for the 2nd term, nothing would have been left of economy with the level of corruption that would have been allowed to go on unchecked; BH would have spread down to the South with above 75% of Nigeria under terrorist control; he and NOI would have started selling Nigerians to slave trade to make more money available for stealing; GEJ would have sold everything Nigeria; coup de tat would have been staged and either GEJ killed or arrested and kept in jail; Nigeria would have been thrown into unending crises; we might have had a civil war on our hands by now.

So, voting Buhari was the best decision the brilliant among Nigerians made. That golden decision has saved my country from irrecoverable destruction and total collapse.
You shouldnt be brainwashed by the newsmedia , bro...All you are hearing are not all hinges on the real truth. Not all that glitter is gold.

Let's counter your point, but first I don't give a f abt PDP, PDP and APC are the same damn thing..


1. Wrt debt, how much is Nigeria borrowing daily? As specified by our budget?? Check that up-dont embarrass yourself. The previous govt borrow based on need which embarrassingly include salaries. The current government borrows daily, regardless of the so-called loot they've recovered.. Or so they say

2. BH was completely eliminated that 6weeks to election, they were forced into hiding.. So its not nice to lie to yourself

3.stealing is actually not corruption, if you're educated enough you'll understand that. Both are vices but not same. For Dasuki and co, they're still innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction find them guilty. Only a judge or jury can actually say they did steal- the law could be pretty annoying sometimes, not you. BTW, those guys are still leaving in wealth and affluence, don't be deceived, Nigeria is heavily messed up. If you're related to Dasuki or Metu, you'll get job faster than a bullet in this messed up country.

4. Your figures are incorrect, you could have researched exactly figures before using it as a point. Well, how much is our reserve now? Are you aware its at the lowest ever? Go figure out the exact figures. So what did we achieve with the depletion?

Its pointless to defend the government... PDP, APC are the same damn people, the government don't give a f abt u, previous, present and all governments! The current fuel scarcity -how long has it been? How is light in your area? We all pray and hope the government succeed, but let's not lie to ourselves, they are doing pretty messed up job now. BTW, heard The president saying we should go fight vandals ourselves of we want light? (The spokesman speak on his behalf, remembe?)
I usually don't respond to people who say things like "if you are educated enough". I wonder why you can not make a point without being condescending. I will make an exception in this case though.

1. This is a spurious statement as Nigeria is not borrowing money to pay salaries now. If you have facts, you can put it up. Don't forget that even IMF attested to the determination and ability of this govt to roll back the rot.

2. BH was completely eliminated?? You really mean that? All the attacks perpetrated after the election must have been from aliens then.

3. Stealing of public funds by public official officials is definitely corruption. Check the meaning of corruption online. Its something that I have done, so don't think its an insult. I will never downgrade to that level even if I'm trying to make an obvious point like this.

4. Why not give us the accurate figures. In fact it was less than what I stated. It was actually, about 34.5 billion dollars as at May 29th.

Under PMB,

1. Our nation is better secured.

2. Our barn of yams is not being guarded by greedy goats again.

3. Stealing is now corruption.

I am okay with his performance so far. With the budget passed now, I expect to go full throttle on other fronts that were dependent on passage of budget.

I will vote him and re-vote again, in as much as the Drunken Master of Otuoke, the Doctoral degree holder without any publication, is the opponent. It was a good bye bye to Jagba jantis.

I never said Nigeria is currently borrowing to pay salaries, I have no doubt the government is determined to make things work, its just not working now and the government is borrowing. Facts you don't have.

So
1. The government is still borrowing, our budget is still deficit, I won't argue that with you as you're out of point. Only defence you have is that Nigeria is not borrowing to pay salaries- the states are, mind you! And fg is borrowing heavily, northern states are even taking loans from Saudi. If you understand how Islamic loans works, youl know its shared, hence they own part of whatever the loan was used for. Wouldn't argue this with u, you're a bit ignorant on these things, your only defense is on salaries.


2. BH is still attacking, there was a bomb blast last week, there are still attacks, it will take a very long time for their attacks to stop completely... Keep emotions aside when you argue..I repeat they were reduced heavily 6weeks to elections and elections were held around where they control earlier, regardless of their threats back then. I agree this government have done much, but you don't have the facts, you're only arguing based on newspaper reports and emotions.. Soldiers are still dying in the field, if you know any military person, ask him how many of his colleagues have been deployed to the NE recently. I went to NMS and I know how many of my colleagues have fallen, even recently.. Again, keep emotions aside, I left Borno because of BH. U don't have the facts.

3. I repeat stealing is not corruption, they are both vices and none should be tolerated. But it seems your online dictionary is lying to you. Again keep emotions aside. Yes I said if you were educated, before u get mad at that, I said IF. If you are, you wouldn't need to go check online, you'll know. Stealing is bad and so is corruption, but they are not the same, leave sentiments aside, this is just English language.. A typical analogy- if your son steal a piece of meat from the pot will you say your son is corrupt?? You don't necessarily have to steal to be corrupt.

4. You should first read and understand before arguing. How much is the reserve now? What did the government use the money for?


Don't get angry at my choice of words, but please listen to yourself, read and understand before rushing to argue..Nigeria's government have been like this since independence, they only care about their selves and their pockets, where are their children? In the developed world, their salaries and allowances? Always flowing.. Some states owe as much as 11months. And you're here defending the government?? When the government get anything right, we'll rejoice.. For now, we are still praying and hoping.

Did PDP erase fuel when they lost power?
Did PDP increase the rate of Dollar thereby causing everything to rise..even locust bean is affected by dollar as Mama Iyabo would say"
Did PDP decrease the rate of power generation?
Did PDP bewitch him to make promises he cant fulfil??

you've got to be kidding me? Mehn, you should have just keep mute rather than quote me... Let me give you some advice, complaining or regretting has and will never solve a problem, when there is a problem like the one we're facing right now in Nigeria, you don't complain rather look away and focus on your own self... #gov.dnt.know.u.exist, so #think.like.d.gov.doesnt.exist

I was not able to vote due to my being in a profession that is classed as ''essential duty''

But if I voted ,it would have been for the Kowa party or even one of the other smaller parties.

Having said that...the government has taken over at a time of low oil prices,and at a time of falling income...which makes things tougher.

But so far they are doing some things right

1.Getting a handle on inflation by the restrictive forex policy.

2. Talking about diversificaiton.

3.At least spending more on education.


What they need to do however is

1.Remove all subsides. Fees,fuel price,etc need to go up.

2.Spend more on Power.

3.Ensure that public transport too gets more spending.

4.Spend more on education.....especially technical education.

5. Ensure improved local production...especially from SME enterprises.

6.Cut costs...by cutting excess civil servants, and spending less on frivolities.
I think your suggestions will have the same effect as pouring petrol into a burning building. Raising prices at this time? I think the president should rally support from all stakeholders and Nigerians at this time. He should admit that he needs our help and cannot do it alone. Get Nigerians on your side then lead us in the will of the Almighty. That will be my my message to Mr president

Because I did not vote for him, I do not regret.
I only regret that others were not wiser.
And as I had hopes that he would be an anti-corruption man, I have been disappointed that his actions in that regard have fallen far below expectation.
We that voted him are not regretting because he had performed well in security and corruption.It remain Economy as promised.Economy will be handle by the recently passed budget.

Nothing good will happen with all the old and expired northern mugus, he resurrected to move nigeria forward.
