Bros, it was glaring that buhari was going to fail. Someone that never added value to his life and that of his immediate community even after his military regime. He couldn't build a brand. How on earth did you expect him to add value to the lives of millions?

He was/is supposedly prudent and our assumption was that we needed a prudential president to at least stop corruption which we've always thought the particularly the problem of the country. We forgot the need for agility, intelligence, goal-oriented etc and other characteristics of a good president. The mistake I made was voting for prudency while neglecting the rest.

Yeah, right.

What exactly could Buhari have done to prevent criminals from attacking and looting businesses of foreigners in South Africa?

You're neglecting the fact that I said I'm not giving up on him because of what happened yesterday, rather because of his total ineptitude right from onset. Now as regarding what you said up here, the issue didn't start yesterday all of a sudden, did it? I remember it started about two weeks ago afresh when a Tanzanian drug Lord allegedly killed a South African taxi driver and blamed it on Nigeria, since that day, they started attacking Nigerians again. Why is it that he didn't take any proactive measure to prevent it from getting worse until when it escalated on social media yesterday before he decided to send envoys? Why didn't he send envoys all these while?

We've read numerous barbaric news of police officers either killing Nigerians in broad day light or another daily killings of Nigeria before this particular xenophobia started again, all happend this year. What did Buhari do? Do you think president like Trump would not even say a single word if a single US citizen was killed unjustly anywhere in the world?

What exactly did GEJ do when the same South Africans attacked, killed and looted foreigners business in Durban in 2015? What did GEJ do when so many Nigerians were killed by South Africans on the streets and in prison with the help of prison officers? He didn't stop it neither did he go in and attack SA.

GEJ responded better than Buhari.

Stop acting like an illiterate. You are free to criticise the government for not performing their duties but do so in an informed manner. Americans, British, Italians have been killed in Nigeria in past and their Presidents have not ordered an invasion of Nigeria. There are diplomatic ways of dealing with issues like this. A President going around threatening another nation for the action of a few bad people that have already been arrested (over 100 south Africans have been arrested for the attacks).

Did I call the FG to invade? Read through my post please. What I'm calling for is urgent response to pressure issue. This current government is always slow in making decision. Slow decision making is a terrible thing and it does no good to any country that wants to develop.

Prudence has nothing to do with lack of vision, intelligence or lack of opportunity. Buhari lacks the ability to recognize wealth, key into it and multiply it and these are what you mistook as prudence. He alone knows why he came back to active politics. But with recent happenings, it's obvious people's interest are not part of it.

There are lots of wealthy people that are prudent.

You still don't get it. Buhari is not responsible for the security of people living in a foreign land. All he can do is talk to his counterpart out there on ensuring that his people are protected and culprits brought to justice. The Foreign Minister has done it, the Diaspora envoy has done it, Buhari himself has done so and you are ignoring the fact that hundreds have been arrested in the SA for the dastardly act.

Buhari discussed the issue with President Ramaphosa over a week ago. How much more urgent response do you need?

Buhari, Ramaphosa meet over killings of Nigerians in South Africa
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/349274-buhari-ramaphosa-meet-over-killings-of-nigerians-in-south-africa.html

Buhari as proven he is not worth anyone’s selflessness but verily I tell you he is still light years beta than any n every PDP alternatives. Care to know why ? You expected too much from Buhari ignoring politicians lace their achievements with lies n deceits just to be sellable like Buhari did but on a personal note after the first 3 years of Buhari I did a piece on NL “ Buhari- reason for regret”.

Buhari as proven he’s definitely not the messiah Nigeria seek, he is not the end itself but rather a means to an end. He is there to switch the trajectory only. Just seat back n imagine PDP was still passing the baton of leadership among it crooks n envision how doomed Nigeria’s future is but with him we can dream again, hopefully he leaves with substantial infrastructure the Nigeria state can consolidate on.

Mao Zedong, only took China so far but 60 years from the switch of trajectory n we all can see what China is as achieved now. Note am in no way comparing Buhari to Mao but I have learnt over time not to expect the best before acting on the best available alternatives just to move Nigeria along.

It's political lies that makes you vote for buhari in 2015, but it's stupidity that makes U vote for him in 2019

And it's also political immaturity to think you should have voted for moghalu or durotoye

Kogi Guber: Dino Melaye speaks on stepping down [VIDEO]—
.........

Dino Melaye, Senator representing Kogi West has reacted to report making the rounds of him stepping down ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, forthcoming primary election.

It was reported that five governorship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Kogi State stepped down, ahead of the party’s forthcoming primary election.

The five aspirants from Kogi East were reported to have stepped down for the immediate past Governor of the state, Capt. Idris Wada (rtd).

The decision of the aspirants to step down was disclosed by the Vice-Chairman, Kogi East Elders Council (KEEC) and former Minister of State for Health, Arch. Gabriel Aduku, while addressing journalists in Lokoja, the state capital, on Tuesday.

According to Aduku, the decision to ‘prevail on the other aspirants to collapse their structure into Wada was in the overall interest of the party and the state.

However, Melaye in a video shared on his Twitter page, said he had not stepped down for anyone.


He said: “There is a rumor by evildoers that Dino Melaye stepped down. I cannot step down because I am winning this primaries.

“We are cruising into victory, Yahaya Bello must go, One love PDP.”

You are looking for attention. And you are so uninformed if you think Buhari is a terrible mistake. I suspect this is to do with the xenophobic attacks on foreigners in South Africa? Is Buhari to blame for that too?

Buhari may not be to blame per se for the attacks, however, he is 100% responsible for the response of the Nigerian government which has been zero beyond paltry statements here and there. These attacks have been on for a number of years now, a responsible president should have been able to show smart leadership by taking proactive steps towards addressing those already done and preventing future occurrences but as we speak, he is only now sending an envoy to inquire who will arrive not later than Thursday, 5th September! What is the name 'Giant of Africa' supposed to portray then?

Bro, don't regret anything. Afterall, even if gej won 2015 he would not be here another 4 years in the last election and he was not any better.

And the past election there was no credible opposition. You would still regret whoever president was if not Buhari. I believe Buhari has a goal but his slow slow attitude needs to scrap. Here is Article I read yesterday comparing Gej and Buhari

https://naijagists.com/goodluck-jonathan-vs-buhari/

You may go through it. Where is Abacha when he's needed most. I was grown and was aware of Abacha regime. He was no nonesense. I remembered when he said "all hands must be on deck"


Also fact must be told. Igbo people need serious assessment of themselves. They are a disgrace to Nigeria. I just read this morning what they did in South Africa. Kemi oluloye or whatever her name is also posted something online regarding Igbo selling drugs in and out of South Africa and turning people to prostitution.

But still, South Africa needs to be brought to book for such behavior because afterall, every country has criminal and drug Lords.

I hate to say this but I must say it anyways. I begin to hate Igbo people now. It is something I have to put into consideration. Igbo senators need to do something about their people very fast. If they are marginalized now they start playing victims. Nigeria needs serious law enforcement on crimes. And I'm running away from people who speak pigin. Sorry

Rilwayne001:


Your suspection is absolutely wrong. Buhari has been ineptitude in all ramifications even before the issue of South Africa came. The issue didn't even start today. It has always been coming and going. But it started again since 2 weeks ago, what proactive measure did he bother to take to at least cut it short before it escalated yesterday on social media? And do you really think he would have said anything had uproar hadn't started on social media? And even so, isn't it obvious that he's not capable and most decisions are not taken by him? He always seem docile even in public appearances and the way he communicate. GEJ wasn't this terrible i know.

@the bold: Are you serious? So you knew all along? What were you thinking really?

The deed has been done already

Let's suffer it together... Hoping to learn from this in the future

I salute your courage op... It takes a lot of strength to admit one's error in a public space

Stop being deliberately dense here! There are more serious diplomatic sanctions that should have been deployed! He should have held a press conference immediately addressing the issues and be seen to be speaking out! He should be able to move to SA himself along with necessary diplomatic/foreign relations staff! Actions like these build confidence, endear the citizens even more to him and send a strong message!

@the bold: Are you serious? So you knew all along? What were you thinking really?

It's a choice between the devil and the lesser devil. GEJ although a good man was docile, as if that wasn't enough, he's surrounded by terrible advisors that are only after their own pocket rather than the better of the nation. No integrity and prudency whatsoever. Plus the fact that nothing is done to curb the many of these issues, he's never an option. Buhari a lesser evil though in the aspect that he's no doubt prudent, but cannot possibly carry his whole team along, plus the lack of intelligence and very slow reaction to critical situation. They are both terrible people with their ups and down.

We just happened to be blessed with terrible people at the elm of affairs in this country. It's a pity.

My own question is that who are you apologizing to? The people that voted Atiku?

In 2015, Boko Haram was bombing the whole Borno state, people are dying in their hundreds weekly, Chibok girls kidnapped, even with oil price at the highest between 2011-2014, the Jonathan government withbhis cronies still looted Nigeria dry, no meaningful infrastructure built, Dasuki stole money for security in billion dollars.

You did the best thing any sane Nigeria will do in 2015 by voting Muhammadu Buhari. A man should live for something or die for nothing. Stop blaming yourself.

In 2019, you really have no choice coz both Buhari have their weakness and strength. I can argue why Atiku presidency will hurt Nigeria but I also know Buhari is currently clueless. But PDP has done it for 16years and we have seen what they achieved, let’s give the APC some more time and see what they can achieve.

So for you to vote Buhari in 2019 is not a sin coz you just chose one of the devil. People that voted Atiku after seeing all his former corrupt atrocities also chose one of the devil, so please stop apologizing to any body coz you owe no one any apology.

Buhari can’t just declare war on South Africa or sanction them in haste, he is the president for god sake and Nigeria don’t have that much bargaining power over South Africa. The only protest we did yesterday showed we looted Nigerian store without even seeing any South African citizen to maim, so you can’t just expect the president to rush. He already met the SA president and envoy was sent there.

Don’t compare USA might to Nigeria’s coz we don’t have much bargaining power against SA so relax bro and read situation like a technocrat.

Again who are you apologizing to?
