barcanista: Goodmorning Nairalanders, it is always a pleasure to put things in proper shape because of the antics of the ruling APC. Two days ago (29/07/2015) a thread highlighting the failure of Buhari's two months old administration. But some Buharists put up a mockery thread titled Buhari's Presidency - Two Months Of Indisputable Success. This article will address all the points that was raised in that mockery of a thread.
1. Increase in Our Foreign Reserves: While it is true that the Forex reserve has increased by $3billion, it is also worthy to note that such increment is to the credit of CBN Governor Emefiele and not President Buhari. Early this month the CBN restricted importers of over 41 items from accessing the interbank forex market and the Bureau de Change (BDC). just to reduce the pressure on our reserve. Importers of the affected items had to source their dollars elsewhere. Buhari administration neither passed any circular nor did it implement/initiate ANY fiscal policy to back the monetary decision of CBN. I am not aware of any "leakages that has been blocked by Buhari".
2. Bail-out Package To States: Firstly, it is a shame and unfortunate that Governors of the 36 states mismanaged the N3trillion they shared between 2011 and 2014 from the Excess Crude Account, they mismanaged their statutory resources and even borrowed funds can't be accounted for. Yes, President Buhari "pledged" to bailout states with N713 billion but like every of his promises he has FAILED to redeem his pledge to the Governors one month after making the promise. On the 24th of this month, the Chairman of the Governors Forum, Yari of Zamfara said has this to say
“This is also to inform our friends in the media that the Federal Government has not given any bailout to any of the states. What had been shared the last time was monies from NLNG and FAAC. As we have been saying, rather than look out for bailout, we have been looking for all monies that are in the coffers of the federation to be brought together for the purpose of sharing" www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/were-yet-to-receive-bailout-promised-by-buhari-govs-lament-2/
Earlier before, the Ondo state Governor Rahman Mimiko had said similar thing...
“I can tell you that so far, no concrete action has been taken in that direction, notwithstanding the fact that all across the nation and in particular in Ondo, most people have read in the newspapers and heard that the Federal government distributed over N720b to assist the states in the payment of salaries on Monday” www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/no-bailout-for-states-yet-ondo-govt/
More recently, APC and Edo state Governor Adams Oshiomole re-echoed the position of the Governors.
3. Modest Success Against the BH Terrorists: This is the most ridiculous. Buhari inherited a very strong military that recorded Huge success against BH terrorists between January and May 29. Unfortunately, the Terrorists began to gain upperhand launching over 30 attacks and killing more than a thousand since Buhari tookover power in May 29.
Buhari Two Months Pledge I have to make this a subhead because the Buharists are trying to play a fast one on Nigerians.
In mid January this year while at campaign in Imo state, Buhari PLEDGED to end BH in Two months.
"If you elect me as the president of Nigeria on February 14, 2015(March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens."
However, on April 1, 2015 during Buhari's interview with BBC/CNN after winning the election, Buhari was quoted to have said..
“We know how they started and where they are now and we will rapidly give attention to security in the country. And I believe we will effectively deal with them in two months when we get into office."
However, the APC's denial or otherwise of the April 1 interview does not by any means invalidates the January pledge of Muhammadu Buhari.
4. Serious Undergoing Efforts to Recover Our Stolen Money: This is ridiculous. Since 1999 Nigeria has been recovering billions of our stolen wealth from abroad.
During Obj's era for instance, the government of Obj was quoted to have said "We fought a case in London and we got $150 million or thereabouts released, about 300 million Deutschmark. Then there were little ones like $20 million by another group and that kind of thing."
All these happened without fanfare. However, the Buhari government is yet to repatriate even $1 to Nigeria. Also there is NO credible source or any confirmation from Nigeria or USA government to confirm any "corrupt list".
5. Refineries now Working: This is a stale propaganda. Buhari himself has dismissed it so I will let it rest.
"I cannot take credit for the revival of the refineries because I have no input to it, if I say I had a hand in it, it will be a lie and I cannot tell lies." (President Muhammadu Buhari)
6. Improved Electricity: According to Transmission Company of Nigeria...
"the country’s power generation and transmission capacities have in the last couple of days enjoyed new peaks above 4500MW following improvements in gas supply to the generating stations as well as equipment and infrastructure upgrade in the transmission network."
What exactly has PMB done? He has neither issued any circular nor initiated any policy since on power since May 29.
7. Nigeria Image Boosted: Some things are best not said. Our President has been going about embarassing our country. Of recent he publicly called his party "All Nigeria People's Congress" in the presence of USA President Barrack Obama. Same man embarrassed Nigeria in the USA when he went there without a single diplomat to negotiate bilateral treaty nor Financial/Economic experts to discuss with businesses. He never even made any real policy discussion with Obama or Kerry. He was seriously giving vote of thanks to America and Technology and reader card. What image other than embarrassing image since Buhari came to power?
I understand that supporters of Buhari administration are seriously grasping for straws hold on to. They are bent on propagating falsehood but Nigerians should be assured that we shall continue to match their propaganda with the truth.
May God Bless Us All
I hope u get paid in hard currency for this work u doing.
I know the basic way of funding a dorm account is to pay in cash into the account.
What I'm looking for is for a way fund can be transferred into the dorm account from an online account like PayPal, Payoneer Account or any other payment platform at the normal interbank rate.
We all use our Payoneer Mastercard to withdraw money in Naira as we do with our normal ATM cards. Have you heard or seen any Nigerian ATM that disburses Dollar? If you want to withdraw dollars then you open a dollar domiciliary account. Our currency is NAIRA and not Dollar!
As per using the card on an American site, you can use the US address of anyone you know living in America or Google Nigerian companies in the US that ship into Nigeria and use their address and shipping services.
One last question,
How can I transfer money from my payoneer account to my dorm account?

Why do some ladies hype themselves like this ? Read what happened to me:-
There is this girl in my department always claiming to be a silver-spoon child.
One Thursday morning around 7:30 a.m we were in early morning lecture in the class when I noticed she was feeling feverish and was throwing up, i accompany her outside the class, expecting her to vomit something like Tea & Bread but to my greatest surprise she was vomiting Garri and groundnut, on sighting this, I was pissed off, as if that wasn't enough she increased the anger in me by saying "This can't be!" I asked "How do you mean ?" She said "This isn't what I ate before coming to school now" At full temper, I just left her outside let her vomit her intestine!
I'm looking for someone as smart as u for the position of executive secretary in my Abuja office. I'm a contractor and have an office in Abuja but need extra hands.
We are into ICT sector, u will only have to handle my correspondence for meetings and also always accompany me for all meetings in Abuja big hotels. Salary very attractive.
Tot I should let u know b4 I throw it to the gen public.
7Alexander: I work in a not-too-big establishment that is owned by my brother-in-law, we have a staff of 7 ladies, 4 guys including myself.
The problem i have is that these ladies whose job is largely secretarial thinks that given my connection with the CEO, that i am financially privileged, now, i'm just managing myself, albeit comfortably, but, there is no time i can have a single conversation with these ladies without me hearing something like, 'find something for me nah', 'hope you will find me weekend money', 'you be oga nah, your own better' and stuffs like that.
Recently, one of them celebrated her birthday at the office but brought no drinks, during the celebration, she blatantly asked me to bring #5000 to support her, i was like what? The whole thing is pissing me off.
I remember a day i told one of them to buy me sachet water, she asked me how an oga like me should be drinking sachet water and not a bottled water.
The new and most annoying trend now is that anytime i send them to get me food, which is sold between 250 and 350, they either do not get me any change or they tell me that the food vendor is owing them, and we know the rest.
Please nairalanders how best do i express my displeasure to them without being petty, while also sustaining their goodwill?
I feel ur pains broda. I believe one or two of them must be sexy for u, invite them one after the other to ur house and milk the back.
If them they form, no wahala, just move to the next and lock up for that particular one.
