What do you expect?



''Ancient man.

When sensible countries are electing young men and women with 21st century mentality to power them to the future.

In Nigeria, we have a fossil with all his military era biases and sentiments etched in his mentality over the decades ,to unite us and take us to the promised land.

What a joke.''

The man is too blunt and thats why they hate him

exactly... he had some points. the lazy ones that prefer reaping where they did not sow will always abuse him.

seeing quick money without working

Navalsadiq:
you don't have common sense. It's a fact Jonathan sold 2.5million barrel of crude every day at the cost of 100 dollar per barrel.what did they do with it

lol. Its Jonathan again? Sebi Buhari said its from 1999. Buharis supporters are just too daft and dull. When you support a Nepa bill holder president, you too will behave like a Nepa bill holder even if you have PhD. You're even more daft that the President Buhari.

NaijaMutant:
Our daft president is talking again


Singing......

Basket mouth don open mouth again o.....

So if Buhari is daft and he rules over you, then what are you?

Buhari is a hypocrite. I didn't even waste my time to completely read the sh.it he has said up there. Someone that sent his children abroad also and his personal doctor is in the UK. Everyday blame blame blame.

babu lakae idiot president he just talk without sense

doctokwus:
Incoherent mumble jumble as usual.
Jumping from one issue to another unrelated issue.
Wonder if him and Idris Kpokom come from the same lineage.

Though I don't like Buhari but his speech this days is making me like the man the more.

If Buhari is sure that the money was judiciously used (though we know); what is keeping him from arresting Obasanjo and probe him?

Honestly speaking, this man loves igbos much. Our hatred for mallans have obstructed our views. Look at his comments about igbo lawyers. Let us have a change of heart for this man. Even if you don't want to vote for him, he will surely win not because of rigging but we are minority and our votes are minority. We don't even have voters card. All the people here making noise don't have pvc. That day of election, they will be watching European league. After the match, they will be the ones to talk about how election was rigged in this platform. Jobless youths. Buhari has done what all previous presidents joined together have not done. He deserves accolades. With campaign or no campaign, with your minority vote or not, buhari will surely win. Talk of 2023 with your short sited dream. Nonsense.

GOOD BLESS MY PRESIDENT.

We sane ones will vote for you over and over again.

It's only looters, thieves and their supporters that don't want you to be the President.

They can hate as long as they want and we sane ones will keep voting you as long as we want.

GOD BLESS PMB.

Ignorance id indeed a very cruel disease.

Buhari LIED WHILE FASTING. MR INTEGRITY MY FOOT!!!

LordAdam:
The worse part is that he has been repeating this lie since he got elected in 2015. Despite the many times he has been corrected, he continues repeating it. He would not stop, even if he loses in 2019.

The daft's lexicon is entirely made up of corruption, high/low oil price, 16 years, PDP, and Jonathan. Trust me, he'd repeat this lie on the campaign trail.

How anyone with a functioning brain thought this ancient artifact would be the one to change Nigeria is beyond me.

-Lord

We have a senile dullard as president. Unfortunately, i cant say his folowers are any better. They are uoung dullards. O sorry LAZY young dulards

Please, what ever you would say be factual. I knew of his first (Now late) and second daughter graduated from ABU Zaria, and most of his other children had their first and secondary education here in Nigeria.

This man has no shame o, his own children schooled broad and he's blasting other people who sent their Children to school abroad.

His first wife's children were not favoured and are still not favoured. They schooled in nigeria. Aisha his second wife'schildren schooled abroad. No dispute

Dullard Buhari no be today you start your blame Game... so stop deceiving your silly old self...

old tyrant master of blame game

clueless old tyrant and his blame game.

LordAdam:
Like leader like follower. Daft fellow. Provide proof and stop running in circles.

Why waste your time answering that fellow, he clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word average. He expects you to break that down for him..... Smh

Attack everyone but yourself! Be critical about everyone but yourself!

Mr President, you are a failure! You came in promising to diversify the economy and reduce our dependency on oil revenue yet you are here calculating pas oil revenue and how you have to deal with reduced income from oil.

Mr President you have failed because you have refused to fight corruption within your government!

Mr President you have failed because you have not lived up to any of your electoral promises.

Mr President you are a failure


Please nobody should attack me; I am not well and still recovering

The problem with buhari is not really in what he says. He seems to make sense regarfing national unity, cohesion and the fact that he is unbiased (with the examples he gave,) but his actions give him away as a pretender and hardcore bigot. Which he is.

And stop giving excuses about oil prices and blaming the other administration. You are elected to solve the issues

Any person who is against pmb re-election is not only dullarded, brain dead, daft, thieves but also an enemy of progress .

At the end God looks through the heart.

And it hasn't occurred to you people that killings might be political motivated to make sure he is seen incompetent?

A dead country with no savings but dept is getting itself back again and some looters with no conscience are here wailing.

God will not allow you thieves rest until you die .

Somebody is doubting from 1999-2014 they made $2.1m crude sales everyday . Well I apologize for your ignorant but yes that was true.

If you follow news very well on Brent price, you would apologize to yourself for been a fool.


PMB till when he decide to rest

Even "too blunt" with those corruption allegations against his allies that he has covered up.And even more "blunt" when he accused some leaders of sending their children abroad to school while he is also guilty of going on medical trips jettioning Nigerian hospitals where ordinary Nigerians who do not have the means to travel abroad go for their healthcare needs because he lacks faith in Nigerian medical healthcare.

Ebullience:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday criticised previous Nigerian administrations for “lack of imagination.”

He said they failed to provide needed infrastructure despite huge revenues, even as he singled out Olusegun Obasanjo, who was president from 1999 to 2007, for spending over $15 billion dollars on power without achieving much.

Mr Obasanjo, a former supporter of Mr Buhari, is one of the fiercest critics of the incumbent president. He had in January written a damning letter to Mr Buhari asking him not to seek re-election in 2019 due to poor performance.

Speaking when he received a delegation of Buhari Support Organisation (BSO) at the Presidential Villa Tuesday, the president said he often wondered why people in authority chose to send their children outside the country to acquire education while they fail to develop the country.

“I wonder want kind of Nigerians they want their children to come and work with. I think there is a lot of lack of imagination.

“Because if you’re fighting for the country then you shouldn’t be misappropriating or misapplying the fund the way people do,” he said.

Mr Buhari thanked members of the support group for standing by him without being prompted to do so.

“Nobody is paying you for what you have been doing. It is because from the bottom of your hearts; you exposed yourselves by identifying with me through opposition to success and after the success.

“I don’t know how many of you people will say what the hell you got out of it. You can only get satisfaction through voluntary and understandable way of believing in issues you do.

“You are only expecting your return from God and you are looking for the future of the country-your children and grand children.”

The president told the gathering that he recently made some statements. He said because some of them may have missed it due to absence of electricity, he had to repeat it.

He said he threw a challenge to anyone to check either in Europe, Asia or America that between 1999 and 2014, Nigeria was producing 2.1 million barrels per day of crude at an average cost of $100 per barrel.

He said the price even went up to $143.

“So Nigeria was earning 2.1 million times 100 times 16 years, 7 days a week.

“When we came, it collapsed to $37-38 and it was oscillating between $40 and $54 sometimes.

“ I went to the Governor of Central Bank, thank goodness I did not sack him, he is still there. I went with my cap in my hand and say oya. He said there was no savings, only debt,” Mr Buhari said.

During the 16 years the president referenced, Nigeria was governed by three presidents, Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007), Umaru Yar’Adua (2007 to 2010), and Goodluck Jonathan (2010 to 2015).

The president told the group of supporters that when he assumed office, most of the roads in Nigeria were in terrible condition, adding “some of them were not repaired since PTF days.”

PTF is the Petroleum Trust Fund set up by late Head of State, Sani Abacha, in 1994 to utilise the proceeds of a petrol price increase. Mr Buhari headed the PTF, which was reputed to have constructed many road projects across the country while the military dictator stole Nigeria blind.

Mr Buhari, who has been criticised for looking the other way while Mr Abacha stole billions of dollars from public treasury while in office, again justified his working with the dictator.

“No matter what opinion you have about Abacha,” he said, “I agreed to work with him and the roads we did from PTF exist from here to Port Harcourt, to Onitsha, to Benin and so on.”

He said the agency also intervened in education and medical care among others.

Mr Buhari also said the railway in Nigeria “was killed and one of the former Heads of State between that time was bragging that he spent more than 15 billion American dollars, not Naira, on power. Where is the power? Where is the power? And now we have to pay the debts,” he said, in apparent reference to Mr Obasanjo.

Lambasts National Assembly

Mr Buhari also came down hard on the members of the National Assembly.

He also said unlike the previous administrations, he has made the highest provision for capital projects; N1.3 trillion; in the budget he took to the Assembly.

“Let anybody come and confront me publicly in the National Assembly. What have they been doing?

“Some of them have been there for 10 years. What have they been doing?,” he asked.

Mr Buhari said just like he mentioned 30 years ago, everyone should know that citizens have no other country than Nigeria, adding “we should remain here and salvage it together no matter what you have outside.”

He said his administration had uncovered some houses in Abuja, U.S. and Europe belonging to “some people”.

He, however, said some of them “swore to God” that the houses do not belong to them.

Mr Buhari said “but their accounts, through the banks, through their companies, show that it is their own. But they say it’s not their own.

“This is a terrible thing and the people are saying what are we doing? Why can’t you lock them up? And again I went on by telling them what I said when I was in uniform, younger and rather ruthless. I got from the President downward and I locked them up in Kirikiri and I said you’re guilty except you prove yourselves innocent.

“I myself was locked up and those who misappropriated public funds were given back what they had taken away. Who did anything about it?

“Then I decided to come and put agbada. I tried one, two, three four times and God agreed,” he said.

Mr Buhari said when he ran for office for the third time and went to the court afterwards, his lawyer, Mike Ahamba, who, he described as “a Roman Catholic and Ibo man” requested the panel of judges at the Supreme Court to order for register of voters in some constituencies across the country be provided for vetting and confirmation of the election outcome.

He said the Supreme Court rejected the request and asked him to approach the electoral commission instead.

The president said that at the end, the court ruled against his petition except one judge, who, he, again described as” another Ibo man, a Roman Catholic” who wrote a minority judgment in his favour.

“He was among the panel of the judges, he wrote a minority report in my favour. So, why this question of religion and ethnicity and so on?

“People are worshipping the dollars, the Sterlings not to even talk of the Naira.

“He wrote a minority report saying this is what we have decided. But the President of that court was my classmate for six years in secondary school; he is from my own state. So, please, we have nothing to regret. Absolutely nothing.

“Since we all believe that God works in our hearts not in our talking. God help us, God help our children and grandchildren.

“We will try as much as we can to work and bring this country to it senses.

“God has given Nigeria everything; we are rich in human and material resources so let us keep praying to God that He should put people of conscience in charge at all levels,” Mr Buhari said.

The president commended members of the BSO for supporting him over the years without expecting anything in return.

Buhari his is part of previous administrator or he just forget? on August 24, 1984 Buhari took over power at gun point, it was their thinking that Nigerians need a change of attitude. https://dawodu.com/oduyela7.htm

I don't just know how we got here. Almost 4 years now he has been blaming the past Administration, travelling abroad for treatment, keeping quiet over the killings in the country, making lives miserable for Nigerians. I don't know what he will be doing in the next 4 years ( if any). God save this country. Power situation in Nigeria then was far better than now, before you can get 14/24 but now you cannot boast of 5/24 supply of power.
Why has he suddenly turned against Obasanjo? Just because Baba is telling him the truth which every other good reasoning Nigerian has been telling him.

That's why they're scared of supporting your ambition to become president.It's good if you're saying this in the interest of the country

A dead living president , those who voted for you are really learning their lessons.

President that can blame for Africa...

The only being Buhari has not blamed for his failure is God.
