Ah!!!!!!! abomination, oya back to sender

How about the word - INCAPABLE

mmsen:
Any administration that tries to fun Nigeria as a 'unitary federation' is probably destined for failure but this group of people are remarkably dishonest as well as being incompetent and so their failure has been more devastating and more apparent than any civilian administration in Nigerian history.
Which elected head of state has been as destructive as Buhari in just one year?
Even Yar'Adua's corpse/thieving wife was more effective than Buhari.

Mark this. APC need to change self fast or Nigerians will never forget this government for its evil to friends and enemies. With the current oil and other circumstances, believe me this nation can become much better than what it is today, if well manage Instead of this Total failure. I am unpartisan figure. Buy take it or leave it, the world is watching.

If Buhari was a novice who got elected to power, one would be tempted to exonerate him as someone who is still 'learning the ropes'. But the truth is that it is not Buharis first outing as head of state and one would have thought he would have learnt not to repeat the same mistakes he made in first outing a second time. But the age old saying goes that a Leopard can never change its spots. Buhari fought in the Biafran war, he faced Oil price fall as Military head of state, he faced Militancy such as Maitatsine and others, he saw the division of the Country. But what did he do when he came in? He divided the country much worse than he met it, increased Militancy, made the Oil problem worse, caused the Biafran agitation to be much worse. He then reverted to his true nature as a Military man, brought out guns to solve problems that dialogue could have done. Today, he is now fighting with everyone, Boko Haram, Shia Muslims, Niger Delta Avengers, IPOB, MASSOB, the so called Bakassi Militants. All of this because Buhari cannot reason like a democrat. Declaring people to be '5%', northernising Goverment with his appointments, endorsing the shooting of unarmed protesters, lying to the people that he is fighting corruption while all he is doing is 'debt recovery' while corruption is still common place, using military force where he should be using dialogue, desecrating oath of office he took.

Buhari is the only core Notherner to be thrown out of office by his fellow core northerners because of incompetency. The man has been a disaster for much of his life and anyone hoping for anything good to come from the man is wasting their time. As a leader, Buhari is a disaster.

The problem is bcus they attended no higher institutions and had F in maths as in WAEC....... I CRY FOR THIS NATION!

This present administration was evidently unlucky to come into power when the prices of crude globally have begun to decline drastically. Nigeria as a nation has placed her entire confidence and focus on the oil sector which is now really affecting the economy, making it difficult for the country to maintain a stable economy. We can’t blame this administration for the fall of oil prices, but surely, we could blame the entire government that has ever ruled this nation for not investing enough and assisting vehemently other income earning sectors in the nation. This fall of oil prices has really shaken the nation, the dollar exchange rate to naira is devastating, bringing about a rise in almost all commodities in the market, where even the once very cheap and common commodity, garri, has now become expensive with some families finding it difficult to purchase the commodity.


The elephant in the room is that you Nigerians do not want to make the hard sacrifices needed to get us off oil dependency. And doing that does not take one year....It takes several years of harship...while we spend more in industriies ...and try to find markets for our products...meaning that we have to endure....until our industrial production really takes off.

You Nigerians want a resource whose revenues would make you comfortable. Better stop thinking that agric and mining will save us now that oil has failed.....because they are subject to the same price fluctuations as oil. We should industrialse...then we can export something whose price we can controland earn billions.

The tomato issue is also one problem that has caused a nationwide stir and given Nigerians a hard knock, as it is one very vital ingredient in the Nigerian delicacy and cannot be avoided. I haven’t heard any tale or ready any history of tomato causing such a problem in the country like it is now, we never saw it coming, nature played its thing. It can’t be said to be the fault of this administration. It is a situation that caught us all suddenly which was caused by the massive infestation of tomato plantations in the north (been the major supplier of this commodity) by the pest called Tuta Absoluta with the common name Tomato Leafminer. No one certainly can blame this administration for this, although, it could be said that necessary precautionary measures should have been taken by the agricultural sector to avoid such disastrous infestation.

Very true....but the reason why we are not making the pesticides needed for tomato pests....is because we Nigerians prefer to import and import rather than manufacture. Yes...GEJ never had that problem because there was cash to import the pesticides needed thanks to high oil prices. This over importation discourages local production.

That is why APC must make the hard choice and industrialize. But they don't like that the road leads via austerity.

Talking about running the government, this administration has not been up and doing, with things moving from bad to worse, Nigerians groaning everyday, massive sacking in numerous companies, insecurity, employment soaring higher. Looking at the fuel subsidy issue, removing the subsidy was a very good call, but truth be told, its timing was wrong. Removing the subsidy at a time when oil prices had fallen and naira losing its value at an alarming pace, it was not a good call. Though, Yes! The federal government was able to make some money from the removal, yes! The subsidy profiteers have been knocked out, but the time it happened wasn’t a good one. The removal of subsidy brought the price of petrol from N86.5 to N145 which dealt a serious blow to Nigerians, bringing prices of commodities even higher after the dollar price has caused its own effect.

Back in 2012....you people said that the timing was wrong too. re subsidy.

And all the sacking etc.....everything is due to our dependency on oil....which is not cured in a year. GEJ did not do a good job of it...neither did many of our leaders past. We are a resource dependent nation. When the price of our resources are high.....we run AMOK with cash (Gowon's comment in 1974 about Nigeria having too much money to spend comes to mind).When it goes low...cash becomes difficult to spend.

We can stop being resource dependent....but that means a end to awoof cash and corruption which you Nigerians love.


The handling of insecurity another issue that has made this government questionable. We were promised a secured nation, but its a no news anymore about the new threats that have began to ravage the country. The government has not done enough is curbing the situation, it is the responsibility of the government to invite involved parties and have a meaningful dialogue, with each party receiving the same care and attention given to others. I personally am waiting for the moment when we would have a government headed by a personality who gives no preference based on tribes

In other words....you want more people from your tribe in government so that you can chop the crumbs they leave over f rom their looting.

That is not good government. Good government is hard work.....not about how many people you have in office from your tribe..

Boko is on the run, and bombing pipelines does no one any good.



Another thing about I hold against this government has been the rate of travels by the president. No good leader leaves his home unsettled to settle matters abroad and this has put the president into the black book of many. I recollect a time, in a public transport, a man was bitterly expressing his anger at the numerous travels of the president, asking the questions why? What has he achieved with all the travels? Is any help forthcoming from all these travels? As he was expressing himself, fellow commuters joined also expressed their bad feeling about it. The president has been viewed by numerous persons to be lackadaisical about the welfare of the ordinary Nigerian. His recent travel for the treatment of his ear infection has also caused one big stir in the nation and raised questions, but frankly, is this government taking us for granted? Do Nigerians matter at all to these leaders?

When NARD went on strike during GEJ's regime...the resident doctors union that is....you people called them names...and forced them to end the strike. See where we are now? Bad hospitals...and a government that came in with limited funds to take care of them (Which by my calculations ....will exceed N5 TRILLION.).

The only way for our hospitals to earn more money is by privatizing them, and allwing them to increase their fees so that they have the money to pay for improvements. But you Nigerians do not want that......and at the same time you want more hospitals....so govt listens to you....and the amount of money left per hospital is less and less.

I am not defending PMB here by the way. I am saying that for things to get better in Nigeria...it has to get much worse before it gets better....more worse than this. We have to make the transition from being resoruce dependent....to being an innovation driven economy. ...via austerity.

What you don't understand is that majority of Nigerians won't be able to pay for all these goods and services if everything is privatised. You say hospitals should be privatised too? Haba! How will we poor people afford the services? You are being very insensitive here bro

I am not partisan either but I could never vote for a man who was a coupist turned Islamic demagogue.

People who believed that such a man would bring positive 'change' should have their votes snatched away from them, for the safety of themselves and their children.

Warped thinking

What should we use?

Insightful thread and the moderator should be commended for putting up on the front page. My opinions are below.

Despite the wide support gathered by this administration, it has done nothing but shattered the dreams of change and hope. Accordingly, the present situation evidenced that this administration was not prepared to govern. Late appointment of ministers, poor budget planning, budget corruption and time wastage in signing the budget. We must not also rule out the frequent gaffes made by the President during interviews with foreign journalists.

Certainly, every environment is faced with challenges but challenges present itself, opportunities. The Obama administration was successful in steering the American economy out of its recent recession. At this moment, I need to clarify that Nigeria depends on Oil for a majority of its foreign exchange revenue and not solely on Oil. Oil represent just 46% of Nigeria's GDP. Our problem is exporting more of our indigenous products outside this country or creating a market that desires Nigerian products.

The APC led government made many promises perhaps too big enough for them to implement. They promised 1,000,000 jobs per year; N5,000 per month for unemployed Nigerians, a plate of food for Nigerian students, constant power supply, rigorous fight against corrupt persons. However, on winning the election, they began to modify their promises and outrightly denying some of them. This is also a clear evidence of poor leadership and lack of governance.

To blame once is to identify the causative issue, but constant blaming is a remark of laziness. This present administration constant blaming of previous administrations is a lack of pragmatic ideas to solve problems. The entire country is aware of the pervasive corruption perpetrated by the previous administration, but constantly referring to it as a stumbling block in delivering electorate mandate is nothing but laziness. The entire country is also aware of falling prices of oil revenue, however, the country is oblivious of the action plan of this administration to either diversify the economy or solve the problem.

Another indication of lack of hindsight by this present administration is on the issue of the insecurity in the country, ranging from the ethnoreligious terrorist group in the North, to political and economic terrorist group in the South-East and Niger Delta respectively. I do not aim to reduce to relative success currently being achieved in the North East, but to identify the misguided approach by this administration in handling the crisis in the South East and Niger Delta.

Overall, this administration must realise that it has actually won the election and snap out of its dream state and work rigorously. It must also understand that government is a continuum and not a stage drama with different actors. This administration must understand that Nigerians are in dire need of results and not constant reminders of past situations.

Both.

Unlucky
Buhari isn't incapable, anybody who says he is is just displaying their hatred and anger for how thngs turned out, no government wnts to be known as d worst government of all time, but things are not helpin him, look at d many issues on ground, none of dis issues can be labeled as d fault of d administration 100%, wat can a man do?

6 months before appointing ministers, constant reminding that he misunderstood d gravity of things before coming into office, 98% campaign promises yet to be fulfilled, his newly introduced policies has further worsened d difficulty of things under his administration, d worst level of insecurity in d country for as long as I can remember, and much more. Governance is never meant to be a walk in the park, it's about leading with diplomacy and a sense of direction amidst the different challenges that myt intend to ridicule an administration. As much as change is constant in life, challenges are equally inevitable as well. YOU are the precise definition of a "DELUSIONAL ZOMBIE"

The only Nigerians in support of Buhari are northerners. Everybody down south is tired of Buhari and can't wait for him to either just die or leave. I'm not lying just ask around. Its the south thats feeling the brunt of his incompetent leadership.

Who does job losses in banks and companies affect the most? Southerners
Who does high dollar exchange rates affect the most? Southerners
What about fulani herdsmen? Southerners are sick of them
His inability to be diplomatic and flexible has caused ethnic tensions in the south.

Buhari is a disaster. He is currently the worst president in Africa.

Anybody who says Buhari is unlucky is a big fool. It took Buhari six months to appoint ministers, six phucking months!

You need cleansing!!!!

I like the bolded. The administration totally failed in just revealing the amount it has recovered without including the names of the perpetrators. According to Lai Mohammed, the government does not want to lose the goodwill that it is enjoying from corrupt persons returning their loot. I cannot believe the excuse, do these corrupt persons have a choice rather than forfeit what was stolen and still serve their prison time. Are these corrupt persons more powerful than the government?

This administration has exemplified that corruption is a good business and depicts its unseriousness on the fight against corruption. I must confess that I supported the administration, but I am having a rethink, in fact, the administration is unserious and probably would fail.

I agree with everything you have said so far; your reasoning is sharp and analysis spot on. However, I'd like to know on what basis you make this assumption. Government funded healthcare is a reality in a lot of countries with even fewer resources than Nigeria at disposal. How do you envisage low-income earners who constitute a major chunk of our population being able to afford healthcare? Again, I agree with everything you say, but healthcare, food and shelter is a right of every citizen regardless of their financial wellness. Throwing healthcare at the foot of capitalism and market forces will have too many dire consequences for the poor.

I'm not blind, neither am I deaf, u can call watever u want either dats ur insecurity speaking, but instead of irrationally throwin a tantrum and dashing names to people why not calm down and reason, d man had a plan, has his plans worked so far? No. He appointed ministers late I don't see how dat affected nigeria in any negative way, he's not d IG of police so u can't really blame him for d way d police is handling issues of security it cud happen in any administration, what else? My point is: he's not incapable, I'm not sayin he's tryin, but d lack of results isn't because of incompetence, things haven't just been working out, and only an imbeciile wud believe and hold on to campaign promises, grow up dear

The government should not fund healthcare, but subsidised healthcare and put policies in place for efficiency distribution of good healthcare system. I agree with hospitals being privately managed and likewise, health insurances companies providing plans for health consumers.

Please do understand the pedigree of who your President is 'attempted School vert" and worst of all for over 5 decades of is adult life adds no value to himself besides procreating.

cold:
I've said this before and i'll say it again, Buhari has no idea what he is doing. He is out of his depth and grossly incompentent. As if that isn't bad enough, his utterances are unbecoming of a leader who is meant to oversee the affairs of over a 170 million people. Talking dismissively, disparaginly and condescendly about a region that carries the burden of the nation didn't do him any favors either. You know what they say about the goose that lays the golden eggs. Agreed, crude isn't selling at sky high prices like they used to but the administration could still earn enough to keep the economy running only if Buhari had been more tactful with his comments. Alas, that has never been his forte. So let him deal with the mess he has created with his loose talk.
Furthermore, where are the technocrats in this administration? Which minister can we single out and say at least this one is performing above par? None, zilch, nada! The president appointed people based on political appeasements and ended up with a lot of deadwood in his cabinet. At this rate i don't see the president achieving much for the foreseeable future.

I came here to say something but decided not to.
5 stars to you for your analysis. There is nothing to be added.
