Is it every statement he makes that someone will have to come and translate to us again? when it is not hausa he was initially speaking.

you dey mind them.

Lol

OP ur present post makes the situation even 'worser'.

From ur quotes, that's exactly what he said that they said rubbish during the campaigns.

Another annoying fact about ur post is that yu started by using abusive words just like other APC goons.

Ur post too is utter RUBBISH!

diegwu01:
on the contrary, the OP has said some of you lack the ability to read, understand and interpret. the article was written by the Cable blog, not by PMB

Ur own zombie virus is worse, u r totally saying rubbbish like Ur president. Everything that cable reported was said by d president. Abi are the promises they made not rubbish?

They would have understood better if the president himself was well educated. #just saying
[s]The statement of the president should be clear to anybody with a decent education and a claim to literacy that he was talking about the attitude of the perm secs who had spent several years doing things the old way and the only way they knew how[/s]. These perm secs could not care less about all the promises of change that the president and his party were making on the campaign trail. In fact to them -these perm secs and directors of MDAs - all the talk of change were all rubbish. He said this was the reason many of them had to be relieved and others were even bold enough to 'pad' the budget - something he (the president) had never heard of in all his years in public service).

Summary: "The permanent secretaries believed we were saying rubbish" Comprenez?

This without doubt is what the president was reported to have said. The obvious twist is either a deficit of comprehension skill or a deficit of moral decency. I suspect the latter, though.


May I also request that this 'explanation' thread also deserves to be seen by all by being given the attention necessary on the front page. Thanks, sir.

And you get pale for house so? Even if you don't have you sef go be papa one day..show some respect..if your dad ever get to become the president which I doubt will ever happen(pun intended)..how will you feel waking up up hear someone who have never been in the news call him an "old fool"
Smh

[size=16pt]first of all, I dont know you and I definitely didnt call your father. . . . so keep my father out of it. My father is a private citizen and so he deserves his privacy, this Terrorhammadu you guys elected is a public servant and so he should expect to recieve public appraisal, and in a land of free speech he should know not all the comments will be positive, if he doesnt like it, let him resign. Go to the US and see what they say about Obama, Clinton, Kennedy and all the great US presidents you have heard about. Besides, didnt GEJ recieve a similar or even worse treatment? so park well, make we no get accident for parking lot.

having said that, since you are worried about someone's father, have you ever worried about the fathers of the unarmed kids Buhari's soldiers continue to kill in the south-east? we may not all be Biafran separatist agitators, but when we see these agitators, who are our fellow citizens, our brothers/cousins/neighbors/friends/etc being gunned down when all they did was to march for their beliefs, how dyou think that makes us feel? that sight can even make neutral or nonchalant igbos to join the movement. It feels like an occupation. especially when you notice that no single fulani cattle rearer has been brought to book, the people who are actually doing the killings and genocide, and also boko haram that has actually cut out a part of nigeria, not to talk of thousands of nigerians killed, is being proposed some amnesty. while unarmed igbos are slaughtered.[/size]

[size=22pt]have you thought of the fathers of those murdered kids? no vex me o[/size]

Earlier today (31st may), a certain topic appeared on this board titled "We Were Saying Rubbish During The Campaign" - President Buhari.
The OP posted 'The Cable' online news-media as his source and the thread was pushed to the front-page by some mod.
In fact, though, 'The Cable' never titled the article as the OP did, but rather as "I feel pity for Lai Mohammed" -says-Buhari

The part of the article that the OP picked on to spread the misinformation and aided by the mod that pushed it to the front-page is as follows:

“Most of the permanent secretaries were sent out because it was time for some of them to go and for others for one thing or the other. Because were not part of those 16 years this is where we found ourselves and this is no joke.

“We had to cut down half the number of permanent secretaries and then do some cross postings. The permanent secretaries that were there for the past five, seven, 15 years the only thing that they know is how things were done in the previous years. Whatever we did in the campaign, in fact we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us.

“Things were even more difficult during the budget which you all know about. For somebody like me, for the first time I heard what is called padding.


Now it is either the OP and his army of co-travelers on that thread are challenged with comprehension or they are deliberately and mindlessly mischievous and seeking to incite against the president.

The statement of the president should be clear to anybody with a decent education and a claim to literacy that he was talking about the attitude of the perm secs who had spent several years doing things the old way and the only way they knew how. These perm secs could not care less about all the promises of change that the president and his party were making on the campaign trail.

But is he saying rubbish though/

[size=15pt]doesnt change the fact that everytime the old fool opens his mouth to speak, he will need another agent to come behind him and explain what he meant versus what he actually said

and why are his interviews mostly in BBC Hausa, or Al Jazeera, or some other foreign media?

Lilimax:
@ OP, what is your sole aim for this thread?
Can you cover up lies with lies
Mbanu!

Truth is very straight and will set you free.

I believe its folks that are compulsive and career liars that go about accusing everybody of telling lies. I don't think you are either.

Show me the lie in the OP if you are honest.

The op should blame d president for not being explicit in his statement - that's if d president meant d perm secs. thought they were talking rubbish during campaign.
Is that not y we advocate that a president should at least have a WAEC certificate

This op is quite senseless, I believe you're the one who lacks primary comprehension of spoken and written English. Full stop, comma and other punctuation marks gives some level of meaning and interpretation to words spoken or written. If you can read that line again I see a full stop after Buhari spoke about the Perm Secretaries then he started another sentence in reference to his campaign then ending the sentence by saying and I quote, " Whatever we did in the campaign, in fact we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us. So i'd like the Op who believes he is well versed in English language to come explain for me how this last statement in anyway connects to what he said concerning the permanent secretaries. Thank you!

some posts and posters are better ignored

No more regional prayers? . Apc n rubbish like 5 n 6

God bless u op.

God bless Nigeria.

This is going to be my first post on NL. But with what I am seeing here, I am afraid for our youths.

This article isn't in support of anyone but is calling for "correct understanding and comprehension" of simple sentences. What kind of graduates are our varsities breeding these days?


And the way some persons argue blindly baffles me. Misled people fighting with their path finder.


Cola...God bless you and your ability to comprehend simple sentences.

LOL. You are talking about punctuation, come on, think! A journalist at The Cable wrote the article and used the punctuation as he deemed appropriate, not PMB.
Now we blame PMB and OP for punctuation used and not used by a journalist!

Oh! Or you listened to him (PMB) say those words with the punctuation?

What do we now that there is lies everywhere

Mr. OP which one be your own.? This Guy has floored you. period!! You sef, check the punctuation na habah!

Or am I smelling SA to PMB - Nairaland things

Hmmm.
I promise to make one Naira = to one Dollar. - Buhari.

Wondering who cares again about words from Buhari's ever-lying mouth. A man who came to power through propaganda of falsehood will always find more lies to tell to cover older lies.

Only Buhari's zombie followers would still care to make out a meaning from his usual murmurs which he unfortunately believes could stand for a presidential speech in any true country whose people are united by a purpose.

Every section of Nigeria is having different agenda from others.

Op it's either you have a comprehensive problem or you re a zombie, are you his chief editor or re you in his mind to hv known he meant something else different from the speech he gave,, keep confusing urself

cola:


you don't have to agree with the president or his party on their performance, but to twist his statements to serve mischievous purposes is indecency.
And anybody that believes a president, any president, would come out declare that he was saying rubbish in the campaign really needs to be pitied. Maybe in a light mood, yes. But seriously, come on, think again.

The buhari that told the whole world Nigerians are corrupt and criminals can say worst.

He didn't have to say it. We all can see that now.

Mr interpreter.

So you went into his head and spoke through his mouth.... please what does "we" refer to in simple English? he didn't use the word "They" or "He" or "She" he said "We". You are truly qualified to defend the devil on judgment day. SMH.

Are you serious right now, this is the argument you could come up with?? That the writer used punctuation as he saw fit? After writing an epistle about how we misconstrued what PMB said now you're trying to fault the writer. Come on you can do better aren't you the perfect linguist who knows all?
Well let me school you a little so next time you don't talk down on people be it on a faceless forum or in reality; In English language, a pause automatically denotes a comma and a complete stop in speech also denotes a full stop when the words are being transcribed into written form. The same goes for other punctuation marks, these are all just to make the words comprehensible when reading it. Without correct punctuation written English would be totally useless.
So my friend, with what I've said you can go back and read that passage again and fully understand what PMB was saying and if you still can't understand, then your case is beyond TB Joshua
This also goes out to the mods who push topics to the front page without proof reading or confirming if the message is accurate and informative. Our oga Seun needs to really do a thorough audit of his mods else our beloved nairaland would end up in shambles or lose its appeal.

Now let me break it down:

1. "Whatever we did in the campaign" - President Buhari talks about what the APC did during the campaign period before the election, he wasn't referring to the permanent secretaries who have been in government for 15 years.

2. "in fact we were saying rubbish" - The word "We" in simple English is used as the subject of a verb to refer to a group including the speaker and at least one other person. So, President Buhari admitted that they (APC) were saying rubbish.

3. "and that made it very difficult for us" - President Buhari expressed regrets over what was said during the campaign.

We don't need anyone to tell us what "they think" the President said...we understood every bit of what he said.
