When Buhari was campaigning,, he made lots of promises on sanitizing the economy and certain threats about purging corruption by all means irrespective of whom is affected. This is a very nice campaign line and all pro-Buhari supporters were convinced that the saviour and progenitor of better lives for Nigerians is here. They believed his 'body language' can only spell better for Nigerians. How wrong they were.

PDP had ruled Nigeria for 16 years. Believe it or not, they have Nigeria's money in their coffers. Immediately the popular president was making waves after waves of promises; the cash was flowing out of the economy in waves. Investors withdrew their input and the cash was stashed out of Nigeria's reach. In addition, Boko Haram's ruining of Jonathan's rule is being paid back with Avenger's ruining of Buhari's rule. The result is the recession which the masses are being faced with today.

My take is this: One must stay alive to realistically fulfil the promise of a better life for his generation. This Buhari's regime doesn't promise that. So, Buhari has two options if he wants to be remembered for being useful while on seat.

He can either instigate true federalism; let every state control their finances so that the money can find a way back into the economy without being seized. Or he should just resign now and let another who understand the workings of Nigeria today take over because it is obvious he can't beg or bend in the interests of the citizenry.

Else, he can simply remain there junketeering in futility while the country runs aground. Nigeria is corrupt, so are other countries. Are we handling ours the same way? I'm not impressed by the tiny amounts EFCC 'announces' that they have recovered. Nigeria is worth a million times that value. And that is an understatement.

Oh, and by the way, if you think we have seen the worst of this recession, wait till December. A cannibal holocaust may even be in the offing.

There was a building which had been under construction for over 50 years but the work was not moving along too well.
Over the years, a number of builders tried doing some work, but they all fell short.
Then came along a builder ( builder B) who had once worked on the building over 30 years ago but ended up causing more problems. He had not led any project for over 30 years.
He once again comes across the building he once superintended & states that the work is not going on well.
For years he tries to convince the landlord that he is
the best man for the job. the landlord doesn't listen to him.
the out of work builder tells the landlord that the present builder (builder A) is incompetent & clueless. That for every N100 the landlord gives builder A,
builder A uses only N30 & steals the rest. That if given
the chance, we will complete the building in record time.
This was despite the fact that after so many years, other landlords were beginning to rate the ongoing project as one of the best in the town, inspite of the fact that some workers in support of the builder B were frustrating the efforts of builder A.
After much persuasion & blackmailing, the landlord accepts to change builders, installing builder B as the new man in charge.
the landlord however is low on funds but reasons that if builder A stole 70% of my money but was able to do so much with 30%, then builder B will work miracles with 40% or at least maintain the status quo.
& pace set by builder A who had done a fairly OK job but left the building at the roofing stage. builder A warns that a storm is coming & since the landlord doesn't want him to continue, builder B is advised to hurry up with the roofing.
However, as soon as builder B is given the job, he starts travelling to other towns to show that he has finally gotten the job. He leaves the work in the hands
of minions with no supervisors. the minions try their best, but can't work because there are no instructions & builder B has locked up all the materials except a few ones he inherited from builder A which he shared to subcontractors.
After a while, the rains start. Rather than focus on the building, builder B keeps travelling around telling people how the landlord is a silly criminal & how some
of his kids are nonentities. the breeze blows off the uncompleted roof & begins to flood the inner building.
builder B doesn't care. People advise him to get competent hands to supervise the work. He says he doesn't need supervisors. He goes round telling people how corrupt the former builder is. He tells people that supervisors are over rated.
After a while, the breeze blows off the roof & some walls begin to collapse. Machineries begin to pack up.
the landlord gets upset & says what's happening?
builder B says, sir, builder A is the cause. He left nothing for me too work with. Let me retrieve the money he stole from you. builder B again abandons
the building & chases builder A & his friends.
Anytime the landlord asks for progress report on his building, builder B shows shows the landlord some materials stolen by builder B. This goes on for a while & the landlord becomes unsatisfied.
builder B now says, sir, the money I have now is not enough to do anything. the landlord says, but if with 30%, builder A was able to do well, why can't you do better with 40% or at least, maintain what builder A did. You promised me a better job, but you have made things worse, you have even been utilising the machines bought by builder A, machines you claimed were useless & contrived to defraud me.
builder B then says to the landlord, sir, unless you become a labourer here, your work will not move forward.
the landlord says, but this was not our agreement, I gave you this job because you said you could do better than builder A, you promised an immediate improvement, now you are telling me to become your labourer? Am I working for you or are you working for me?
builder B looks at the landlord, smiles & says, don't complain about your work to me, go & complain to
builder A.

Dunno whether its just childishness or lack of understanding or maybe just hunger that makes people reason in a particular way.


How can any intelligent human being with his/her right senses say its because Mr President is waging war against corruption thats making nigeria broke. How can anybody with a brain endorse crime as a means of perpetuating prosperity I really pity the level some people have fallen to. Some are so morally bankrupt they have completely lost their ability to determine right from wrong

The worst is still ahead! This govt is hopelessly clueless!

Another English word - Buhari means Failure
I just Buharied my Exam
When u buhari, u try and try again.
Nigeria is in Trouble. 2019 is too too far.
