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

He's not the IG of police? My memory must be abit hazy cos with ur logic, I guess Goodluck was d defence chief and head of EFCC when insurgency ravaged parts of the north, and corruption became an industry in his administration. By the way, Bravo for calling most nigerians imbeciles......I refuse to stoop low to ur intellectual level and I hereby decline to respond to any prospective illogical comment of urs. Have a lovely weekend☺

Fasbola woke up one morning and arrogantly increased electicity tariff, where is the light, has the supply increased? They cannot even sustain the supply. The next thing to privatize will be our personal houses. Kachukwu also woke up one morning, arrogantly increased pump prize, without proper plans to cushion the effect, just to mention a few though. In fact they are the most lucky and at the same time clueless and incompetent set of leaders we've ever had in Africa.
They've ran their government for six months without ministers, they've also been running their government for over a year without ambassadors. Put these together you will understand that they don't only have bad national policy, they also have bad international policy.

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!

Not all northerns are in support of his leadership same with south. Some Southerns still believe in this administration

AGRICULTURE is the ans 100℅-massive investment in cash crops and all edible crops, poultry,cattle,fisheries,fruits and so on , for raw materials for industries, for local consumption, and for foreign export,through the establishment of massive agricultural towns, villages and communities in all the 774 local governments in the country using the aid of world class merchanized farming and irrigation systems, with also the aid of greenhouse technology, and world class storing and processing facilities which will be powered with renewable energy using wind turbines.
This will boost our economy in a frightening pace, and bring about industrial boom, and boost our foreign exchange thereby boosting our naira, and abruptly stopping our reliance on oil, we wont have to import food any more and we will be able to sustain our selves for the forseeable future and the earnings we earn through agricultural export and also oil will be used to build coal powered power plants to generate electricity that will bring stabiliy to the power sector, which will inturn boost foreign and local businesses, bringing an accelerated development in infrastructure, health care and also maintanance of the agricultural facilities and also the coal powered plants.

But its a pity our Leaders are so cluesless, myopic, wicked,foolish to take this giant steps and also the monster called CORRUPTION wont allow.

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they get, because our decayed society produce them.

With the current trend of happenings in the country, it has to be painted out if this current administration has been unlucky or they just don’t know how to govern. Things have been really messy, the nation is in a real state of confusion with everyone waiting and hoping for a magic to turn things around for good.

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 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.

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.

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.

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?

Lots and lots of promises made before the election are yet to be fulfilled, and what the administration could say was “The Mistake We Made Was Talking Too Much During the Campaign”, and one begins to wonder, were they unconscious while making all those promises? What kind of government makes such a statement?
A lot is really bothering this administration, which brings about the question: are they unlucky? Or are they just incapable of governing?

To my fellow nairalanders, whats your response?

Price of crude oil has always been fluctuating globally ever since oil was discovered. Sometimes it's up sometimes it's down.

All the other problem you listed has also always been with us since 1914; ebola, pests in the north, flash flood in Anambra, corruption, Fulani militancy, militants north and south, none of these is new. Indeed, things got so bad that we even fought wars in the 70's.

Assuming GEJ won the election, all these would still have happened, as I said it has always been happening.

Even if you're a Buhari supporter, but stop being emotional about it. Just tell yourself the truth and you'll feel better in your heart.

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth"........... Arthur Conan Doyle.

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.

Such systems are in place already if I am not mistaken. But it would unthinkable and a great disservice to the good people of this country if government money does not go into healthcare. Perhaps when our economic situation and the bottom of the pyramid folks financial situations have brightened should government begin to think of laying off some of its hold on healthcare and indeed vital aspects of our countrypeople's immediate and physiological needs.

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?

Incapable, incompetent means an Individual who lack the natural methodology to handle any circumstance. Buhari is one of dullest from records. It take him more than six months to appoint ministers and less than three months, Nigerians are complaining and putting pressure on Buhari to change those ministers he spent more than six month to appoints. Buhari is also hav Buhari was actuallly hiding behind the military ways of command as well as Idiagbon.
That apart, his religion and his ethnic group is not helping. These two areas have always protrayed him against others. The defence of the two aspects is that when a policy favours the entire country on equal basis, the Bubus will simply say their tradition is against it. So many people are tired, worned out for this government and are praying for God intervention. As at today, his very bad luck is making every direction look bleak. Every where you go, there is serious groaning. There are serious hopelessness and confusion. God, we dey your hand.
Look at the ways he is handling the Avengers. If he is wise man like other past leaders, things could not have become as worse as it now. Am sure that was why the Avenger blown and destroyed his ears off the hearing level.
Another angle am looking at is the threatment Buhari gave to GEJ. Karma is alive. They promised to use the blood of dogs and barboon. Promised hell for GEJ. At some GEJ could not even sleep. It is now time to tell Buhari know that Karma is alive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Seriously, there is nothing like industrialization without raw materials. What is the main source of raw materials if not Agriculture and mining. Or do you prefer importation of raw materials ?

Are you trying to say that if Nigeria was still exporting coal, cotton, cocoa and groundnut in large quantities, that prices of all these commodities must fall at thesame material time that crude oil price is low ? Bro, it does not work like that.

The essence of diversification is if one area fails us, the other areas sustain us during the trial period. Even business men with multiple streams of income know this principle of " Do not leave all your eggs in one basket "..

If your business has not failed before, you wont know the benefits of having more than one business. Simply put, thats what Nigeria is going through right now.

Great leaders exemplify themselves in bad times.
They make mountains out of molehills. They relish opportunities to make good times out of bad times.
Great plan and design produces good products.
APC and Buhari have no designed plans. They only have great wishes. And that is just not enough. Buhari is not only INCAPABLE, is also governmentally impotent. Grossly lacks managerial know how of governance.

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.

How I wish i can send you a bottle of beer right now....

You nailed it perfectly

Is the RULING PEOPLE that workin against this govmt BUHARI is doin well
