How does criticism amount to hating ? So Reno wants me to be agreeing with whatever he says even if it's trash.

Here is the message

I think Yoruba is the most stupid set of people in politics, Yoruba condemned Buhari, now thinking to vote in Atiku. Well, North is on the saver side, either Buhari or Atiku they still hold political post of number one citizen. The game is now between East and West. Osinbajo is from west (Yoruba), and Obi from East (Igbo). The Igbo are supporting Atiku/Obi because they recognise the importance of their son being the Vice President. Go to all ministries you'll discover that the number of Igbo workers outnumbered all other ethnic groups in the nation. How are they doing it? They have always been in government since 1960 as vice presidents and so on. Each time this happens they fill the ministries with their people whether these people qualify or not. This time around they are posting stupid stories and lies to make Yoruba support their plans. If you vote PDP you have sold your own people and assist the Igbo to have their ways. If you are in doubt about the Igbo attitude check the period Azikwe was the ceremonial president of Nigeria, he made sure that all vice chancellors of Nigerian universities are Igbo. Gradually, almost all junior and senior posts were filled by Igbo. If you still go to university of Ibadan you would still find the traces of this atrocity there. Go to any Federal agency, ministries, tertiary institutions (universites, colleges of education, and polytechnics) in South west , you will see that Igbos are competing in staff number, if not half of numbers in some occasions, and so it is all over Nigeria, but in there areas it is not easy to see other tribes like Yoruba like that and if they are not easy to hold certain higher post there. It is high time YORUBA to think twice before they condemn their own. Omo eni kii sedi bebere ka fi ileke sidi omi elomii. Right in front of me now is a book on Hubert Ogunde and I have just read the story around the development of the play and song Yoruba Ronu. I've never seen a people who decide to be self enemies like Yoruba. You may decide not to vote in your own as Yoruba because Igbo are surreptitiously twisting your brains through lies and half truths on the social media but you may regret your action soon. But don't forget the Yoruba adage that says Teni n teni, takisa n taatan. But while Ohaneze is saying openly that they are voting massively for PDP because their son Obi is the running mate, Yoruba are unfortunately deriding their own son, Osinbajo, for petty politicking. We need to change this pattern of self indictment and destruction. Yoruba worked against Awolowo, Abiola, Bola Ige and other stars among them. I don't understand the problem of Yorubas, Can't we reason?

Here's my reply:

With this writeup, all I can deduce is that B.A.T is even a selfish individual, if he's to consider Yoruba being a democratic-ruling race in this country... He needs to support a Yoruba presidency contestant. We have people like Omoyele Sowore, Olawepo Hashim, Fela Durotoye.

But the message is for APC members though, not me.



Get Atikulated before it's too late

After Reno Omokri's failed attempt yesterday to label Ex-Governor Tinunbu a tribalist through his released tape, Nigerians descended heavily on him. He could not take the criticism and he started blocking people. He blocked me too

A snake doesn't attack, it attacks only if corned or stepped on.

You might be living with a snake but you won't know.

A snake might be under your bed or in your cupboard or even under your gas cylinder. You will be on your bed but it won't attack you, it sees you and hid itself but you ain't seeing it.


The only bad part is if you step on it.



Normally, a Black mamba won't just attack like that, it will show you its inside mouth so that you will see the black inside, telling you that you shouldn't come any closer that it is dangerous and can kill anybody within seconds.


King cobras are the type that attack.


I would advise the occupants there and the OP to buy a cat.


Cat is needed in that house. Don't let nollywood deceive you that cats are witches/wizards.

Police is your friend, bail is free, the APC has fulfilled virtually all of its 2015 campaign promises, Buhari is fighting corruption, children are the leaders of tomorrow . . . Feel free to add yours

Hector09:
Nigerians are the must gullible people on earth, every body should boycott the stupid election

idid:
Omoyele Sowore has been a human right activist, anti-corruption fighter, journalist, entrepreneur?
Atiku a known thief, and a person with shady character... Don't cover him up jor, too many allegations of corruption left, right, centre. Do you think they are just making it all up?

Cathyblinks:
Honestly, I do have that mindset. This is because 98% of them if not all of them who have approached me drive towards that direction.

I had an experience here on nairaland. A few years ago, I just wanted to mingle and got connected with a nairalander here. We got talking and I really thought he was serious only for him to vanish into thing air after we had sex... Cos he is not based here. No calls, nothing at all after 3 years, he surfaced again, saying I was special and all that pep talk. He wanted to see me and I agreed to see him. Guess what? He wanted another sex romp. 3 consecutive times and I refused him. The funniest act he displayed was, anytime I leave his place to my house, he doesn't bother to call to know if I arrived safely or not..

Now he has returned and communication has stopped. Can u imagine that. I knew it wasn't real but was just giving him benefits of doubt.


Now I am becoming more and more withdrawn than ever.

idid:
Okay, but do remember that Nelson Mandela governed nowhere before becoming President of South Africa?
Emmanuel Macron of France never ruled..
Barack Obama was only Senator for only six months.
When it's time to change the course of our own politics you people will be looking for all the experiences up and down.

About Atiku's video...

Okay, I agree that the video was cut off, what about the plethora of allegations of corruption. His former boss, Obasanajo wrote about him too. And because he forgave him, you want Nigerians to forgive too. What has made Atiku better?
Once a thief, always a thief.

idid:
Please don't ask me who Atiku will sell to. He said it categorically that he would sell NNPC to his friends. Do you want me to show you the video in case you haven't seen it?

And...

What state did Gowon first govern when he became head of state?
Which state did Babangida govern?
Which state did Buhari govern in 1982 before he became head of state.


We know Sowore, he has a track record of over 20 years, he is not a coward, he is consistent, he is not shady, he is not a thief, he is innovative, he is vibrant, he is fit for the 21 century and the New Nigeria that we want.

Cathyblinks:
How do I do this? Its really difficult finding men that suits your personality.

idid:
By the time Atiku finish looting ehn, there will be nothing left for anyone to govern again.
He would have sold everything and loot everything that we have with his own cabals in the make, the likes of Saraki and the rest.
You better Take your destiny back from these looters...

Bobbysteps:
you can not sit in your house and confirm what is happening out there. But let me enlighten you more, it is you and you alone that is behind Atiku cos I'm very sure the sane ones in your family can not follow you and vote for atiefku on Saturday. pls take that at the back of your mind and stop writing nonsense on social media. thanks

Apostle is right


Only a Deranged person will vote for ATIKU.


Buhari is slow, a bit tribalistic and not a saint but he's far better than Atiku.


A vote for Buhari is safer.

SarkinYarki:
Dear Nairalanders there have been various arguments on who was really responsible for the Economic slump witnessed under the Buhari govt with some people saying the slump was as a result of 16 years of bad leadership by the PDP which just happen to tank during Buhari administration and others saying the buck lies squarely with Buhari .. I am of the latter opinion that Buhari indeed is 100 percent responsible for the recession and I have carefully outlined all the poor policies by Buhari that led to the slump please enjoy .


1 : Delay in communicating a policy direction on time:

Ladies and gentlemen this was the first mistake by Buhari as he failed to communicate any economic policy direction immediately he was announced winner leaving all economic stakeholders in the dark , for months no stakeholder knew is the the new govt was going to be favourable to the private sector and at what level and instead of Buhari communicating this he instead went to work straight stoking the embers of tribalism and division with his 97% to 5% gaffe which immediately cast a veil of economic and security uncertainty on the polity and economy .

The outcome : Investors immediately put a pause on any further investment till the air could be clearer at least on what economic direction the president was towing.


2 : Delay in choosing Ministers

The 2nd mistake Buhari will make was his deliberate delay in choosing Ministers for almost a year meaning he spent his first fiscal year without any form of FEC meeting where new govt tactical and strategic policies
are brain stormed and matched against Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) , this delay was like virtually pausing the life support of a patient in Coma while you searched for a medical expert !!

The Outcome: This needless delay would end up putting the Nigerian economy under stress as for months unending every other micro policy from state govts to local govt to private sector where all put on hold as stakeholder waited for ministerial direction as a plimsol to guide their own decision so it was not uncommon for many of us to walk into our clients organization and be told we had to halt projects tool the ministers where inaugurated.

3: Immediate Infighting within the Presidents party :

Buhari has always been known to be a very cunning and divisive man who is very fond of speaking from both side of his mouth all just to protect his secret interest and he will immediately use this character to bring division into his ruling party where once again his inability to firmly set a direction would open the doors for chaos and spoils grabbing as no one knew how Buhari wanted the structure of party leadership to be , this lapse immediately brought about many camps within the party all infighting for the spoils of their latest conquest while the economy was left unattended.


The Outcome No unity between the party leadership, the executive and legislative right from the onset a problem that will further sacrifice the health of our already struggling economy further.


4: Poor implementation of TSA

It had never been a secret that Nigerian Govt funds housed in many Nigerian banks provided a lot of stability for the financial sector even though it left some loophole for possible corruption but the benefits far outweighed the risks , it was in this light the previous govt agrees that the implementation of the TSA must be staggered in phases so as not to cause financial shock to Nigeria managing Banking industry but Buhari will disregard the advice of expert and go for total implementation over night a costly bad decision that threw the financial sector into sudden confusion as predicted by experts, meaning over night our banks suddenly had less deposits to use to manage the delicate balancing of funds between depositors and lending , ofcourse at such times it's the lending aspect that will suffer as depositors must always have access to their funds as at when they want it because they are in Fact the soul of the banking business . We should note this action was clearly an indirect sabotage to the financial economy similar to a previous Buhari error in the 80s where he changed the Nigerian currency over night in a bid to catch looters

The outcome : the private sector suddenly had less access to loans and as result many economy growing projects where put on hold at great cost to the the Economic kinetics and potential of the Nigerian economy.


5: Going after Tompolo at a time of low oil Prices


At a time of low oil Prices most good leaders immediately try to drastically increase output and production in other to cover for projected short fall in revenues but shockingly it is at this time that President Buhari will choose to shake the fragile peace in the Niger Delta in a poorly thought out decision to send the military into the oil rich Niger Delta to hunt for oil warlord General Tompolo over a 13 billion Naira (35 million dollars ) payment made to Tompolo by the previous govt for the purchase of some land for some university , it ended up being a total economic disaster which only ended up worsening the Economic outlook of the country.

The Outcome : In attempt to go after 35 million dollars the Nigerian economy ended up losing a projection of about 100 billion dollars and countless lives and the painful part is that Tompolo was never caught neither was the 35 million dollars ever recovered ..Infact it's said the military operation itself cost the govt over 60 million dollars . Talk of a very bad decision .


6: 5 Billion Dollar MTN fine


Early in Buhari govt without even a policy direction in place and heavy economic uncertainty the Buhari govt in its bid to raise cheap funds will make a very bad mistake by fining telecoms success story MTN a mind boggling whooping 5 billion dollars for failing to properly register less than 1% of its subscribers a practice common with all 4 mobile Telcos in the country but surprisingly only MTN was singled out for this quite suspect fine which may industry observers have said is nothing short of a grandiose approach to executive extortion but that's as story for another day , the bottom line is that this poorly thought out fine triggered a megathrust of capital flight out of the country by many private sector players including the same same MTN who feared that same fate could befall them under the knee jerk Buhari govt and in less than 4 weeks over 80 billion dollars was spirited out of the Nigerian Govt under the nose of Buhari in one of the greatest mass capital flight ever recorded in a developing economy.

The Outcome: The capital flight triggered by the fine would put further strain on the economy once more and slow down any further new investments by such players , MTN will go further and cut it's support for thousands of small Nigerian Businesses and ideas citing lack of funds ( yours faithfully lost a lucrative advertising business my company ran regularly with MTN) MTN will drop many youth ambassadors it sponsored , drop Who wants to be a millionaire and project fame citing lack of funds , the total loss to small businesses that depended on MTN for patronage will run into billions of Naira in reality and tens of billions in projections. It was another economic misfire by the Buhari govt .
The Outcome here was hyper capital flight and many calculated exits by investors from the Nigerian economy e g ETISALAT and heavy loss to Nigerian SMEs that got patronage of such players, this will translate into massive job losses and prospect deeper that can even be measured and the very very painful part is that after all the damage the Buhari govt failed to collect the 5 billion fine but instead reduced it to 650 million dollars to be paid over a long time by the Nigerian subscribers.

7 : Increasing Petrol Price and Electricity Tarriff at the same time:



It's no secret that Nigerian micro business economy is driven by a finicky balance betwen the petrol engine and unstable electricity as the petrol engine is used to produce back up electricity used to power small businesses from fabricators to small offices to small online businesses to cooling to room to salon at times when NEPA electricity has failed and believe me in Nigeria it's almost all the time .. The Buhari govt will again show it's short sightedness in this area and deliver a devastating blow to micro business owners who are the foundation of 80 percent struggling Nigeria family units by increasing petrol price and Electricity Tarriff by a whopping 50 percent and at the same time which immediately increased the operational running cost of micro businesses about 100% , my brothers and sisters this was the death knell to the economy as it triggered wave of unplanned inflation overnight and reduced demand instead of the other way round where increased demand will trigger inflation, once again the Buhari govt had turned economic theories on its head and thrown the economy in to further doldrum. Many micro business who couldn't cope with this loss of demand as result forced inflation had to die throwing millions more into uncertainty and abject poverty.


8: Poor handling of Herdsmen Farmers Clash

When farms and cattles meet there is always bound to be problem and in Nigeria this is no different but under Buhari this took a worse turn as instead of quickly using fairness and equity to resolve such tensions the Buhari govt immediately took sides with herdsmen for reasons best known to it and this immediately emboldened the herdsmen to escalate their attack as the realised there was no repercussion in sight as long as the Buhari govt continued to be one sided , this lack of will by the Buhari govt will end putting devastating blow on the foundational pillar of the Nigeria economy which is actually subsistent farming .

The Outcome : The Outcome here was hunger hunger and more hunger as many subsistent farmers fled their traditional farmlands leaving in its wake reduced agro production and inflation as agro supplies dwindled , it also led to an increase in crimes as both herders and farmers took to kidnappings and robberies in other to survive .


9 Poorly thought out Import Tarriff increases


The Buhari govt made two tax policies that I think were a really bad mistake and they are

A : Increasing tariffs on anti malarial

B: Increasing tariffs on Vehicles .

Usually govt increased import Tarriff for two reasons either to protect it's own local industries or trying to discourage the use of such . The Buhari govt will shock all by increasing the Tarriff of antimalarials citing reasons that it wanted to encourage their production at home forgetting that Nigeria was a malaria endemic zone with little or no real infrastructure to support production especially under Buhari who had recently demobilized the lending sector with his poor implementation of TSA and increase cost of all production in Nigeria, this policy was another ok advised one as I would have expected the govt to first make the economy conducive to attract investment in those sectors before thinking of increasing Tarriff.

The Outcome: The policy only succeeded in increasing the cost of healthcare and cost of vehicle in Nigeria which means a reduction in saving and disposable income for the average family unit , we didn't see the indigenous car plants or anti Malarial factories get built in Fact the policy was so bad that the Customs boss had to recently beg the Buhari govt to reduce it as it's is only encouraging smuggling and infiltration of substandard products .




I hope with these 9 points we can all agree that Buhari was 100 percent behind the slump contrary to arguments the slump was caused by other govts and Buhari only inherited it . I am in no way trying to absolve past govts of poor leadership but only trying to show the role Buhari played in expediting the slump.

Many thanks for the read and please feel free to share whether you support or not .
