That means nothing is achieved when public resources is being used for private purposes: A case study of our oga that is currently spending 3weeks in the UK doing nothing.

But he is achieving good health for himself is that not good enough

rexwalters:
One administration has passed and will never comeback, the other is still in progress, only myopic dummies come to a conclusive resolution when the game is still in progress.

Just like Saul and his encounter with the Epistles, so shall you be the number one advocate of Buhari, when he has retired, even Christ best said it " A good man is never honored in his own Country".

we know this man , what he is doing now is his hall mark
What he couldn't do in his hay days is what you are expecting him to do in his twilight
Your hope is misplaced
Except he wants to do miracle by now we should have seen the signs that so so and so will happen in the positive
Your optimism is very good and that is because you believe buhari is sincere and will do the job
But buhari is Not,he is only interested in the office not the job

rexwalters:
Ok Reno was an oppressor of the people with Jonathan Good luck, and now an advocate and defender of the people under President Buhari? Please come and collect your Oscar award for hypocrite actor of the decade.

if you are comparing the two regimes the former did better in relative terms, the evidence abound

Emecunze:
The comments above are so annoying. You guys left the message to attack the messenger. Why compare Reno with Buhari who is the number one citizen of the country. The message is simple, as a leader, you have to lead for others to follow. You patronise foreign countries and foreign goods but wants your fellowers to consume locally made ones. How is that possible?

it is so sad,it shows no hope for this country,people defending their oppressors,while suffering,believing suffering is their own while good life is for their president why was he ,elected, don't dey see how other presidents behaves
With the way things are only God can rescue this nation,until the coming of buhari I never knew the people were so stupid,buhari has revealed that, the danger is that others coming behind may follow that pattern believing that the more hardship you visit on them the more they love you,just like they are doing to buhari and the circle continues

justtoodark:
soo accordin to you,you were benefittin when smugglin was going on through the borders....??

dont defend ghanaians....be angry at the goverment,yes....i am angry at them too....

but dont defend ghanaians....they will not defend you in return....

experience is the best teacher,please watch keenly to understand
There won't be much gain from this border closure,except the grandstanding,it is the people that will suffer,may be you were not here in 1984 , we've passed this road before
I prefer a well thought out approach than a knee Jerk approach
This is not how modern economies are ran

justtoodark:
meaning,we failed to listen....we should have listened to nigerian trade unions....

what can an incompetent compromised pro government unoin say that will be beneficial to Nigerians except their paymaster
You may say it for our understanding

justtoodark:
i remember many unions kicked against this ecowas free trade stuff....
we couldnt imagine our neighbors could allow something like this against us....

where is the pan africa that we all sang to....??

did nkruma,mandela kenyatta sufferd for nothing....??
trust is very expensive if you ghanaians dont know that....

nigerian trade unions were right....they knew better....

i think its better we nigerians start listenin to each other....

meaning

fairfora:
Buhari that's wiser than all of them, including Tinubu the bullionnaire He would spend the rest of his term travelling and heaping up estacode. He sure knows he's not the solution to the Nigeria's myriad of problems.

Wetin concern am. He has fulfilled all his plans of northern agenda already by planting all his peeps in key positions. It would be very difficult for power to leave that north, just like that with his ground work already in place.

you are very wise

Hedonisco:
Hunger na bad thing walahi. The money wey this idiot called Yahaya go give am no fit reach to buy 2008 Toyota Muscle, I sure.

Because of crumbs, hungry man no mind to rub shit for face come pose for selfie. Shame on you, 9ice.

The man just collect 10b for the akant now, naso he stingy

KingLennon:
It seems you don't know the kind of president we have. Here Freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom after speech is not always.....You fit complete am

what baffles me is how buhari is getting away in a democratic setting things he dare not during his also not impressive military regime
And democracy is supposed to have check and balance

Goldencheese:
When people philosophise about Buratai's military pedigree and qualities, I wonder why, not because he is a northerner, no, but because the results are yet to speak. We are almost into 60 months of this presidency and Buratai has not been able to subdue Boko Haram, multiple clubs of bandits in the north and several insecurity hotspots in Nigeria.

Why do we celebrate mediocrity?

Within 3 years, the Trump presidency killed three notable global Jihadists among several nondescript Jihadi wannabes. Any crazy domestic terrorist in the US, when identified, cannot survive for one month in isolation without being hunted down like a dog. And come to think of it, the US has more land mass than Nigeria.

I don't understand. Is there no longer a benchmark for success in Nigeria?

For now everything has gone to the dogs
We should pray for endurance and the grace to recover when all these are over

bizhop01:
Dividend of buhari fight to replace Chief Justice Walter with robot,
mission accomplished buhari is a fraudster.

it is only fools apart from hired goons and people with vested interests are the ones claiming buhari won the election or was victorious at the courts it was all forced,infact robbery.buhari knew with his performance no sane Nigerian will vote for him,therefore can not win an election as the hypnosis of 2015 had worn of,he set to work,refuse to sign electoral act,deployed security to intimidate voters,compromised inec and remove the CJN
The result is the second term
The truth will come out one day for those who do not know.
This four years will soon pass in a jiffy
It will be time for stock taking

plaetton:
Your argument is very puerile.
For one thing, who in the world expects Buhari, whom as we've all seen, can barely speak and articulate meaningful dialogue in English, or could barely understand how the economy works, be the person most suitable to reach out to foreign investors abroad to initiate complex deals.
You and I know that Buhari understands zero of most of the issues discussed in international conferences and business summits that he attends abroad.
Call a spade a spade my friend.
Buhari is semi illiterate ,whose cognitive skills have been made worse by his age and illnesses. His self- confessed Nepotism, weakness and lack of personal integrity and honour renders him a puppet in the hands of his very very corrupt nephews and other relatives in Aso Rock.
Nigeria has irreversably broken down in the past 4 years due to the monumental incompetence.
Buhari is National embarrassment.
Period.

Nothing to add but the person you quoted is one of the hired image launderer of this administration,part of the media aides he is talking from a jaundiced point of view
You may not take him seriously

festacman:
I read this article and found it a bit petty.

With Nigerian economy experiencing and exiting recession induced by looting of public funds and faced with deteriorated infrastructure to drive the economy as well as declining oil prices to fund the running of the economy adequately, the onus rests on the President Buhari shortly after assuming office in 2015 to design steps to renew the dying infrastructure and diversify the economy away from dependency on oil. Part of plan of action designed was reach out to more advanced economies to help us, which require diplomatic shuttles and bilateral talks at Head of State level rather than ministerial level. It is the person who needs help that visit the people who will help him and not vice versa. Therefore, describing president's diplomatic trips as "pointless" is mischievous and wicked.

Interestingly, if President Buhari had decided to delegate rather than travel to personally attend the numerous international economic fora or visit friendly countries to explore mutual economic interests, many of his critics would have made so much noise about his lack of requisite social and diplomatic skills as president. By the way, President Buhari is not usually lone Head of State at these conferences, which means the President or Prime Ministers of many other countries travel too.

What put Nigeria in its current bad shape economically did not come from presidential diplomatic engagements but from insincere leaderships and selfish politicians and civil servants who stole money meant for critical projects.

The fact is that as the President, Buhari has the responsibility to do what he considered best as far as the constitution allows to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life of Nigerians in the long term.

Moreover, having experienced and survived a strange ailment that took him away for several months, the scheduled private visit to UK is necessary for his well-being and is undertaken as part of his entitled annual vacation period.

Ironically, although 90% of former members of military ruling councils and their fronts as well as politicians and their cronies who raped Nigeria and squandered the massive wealth made oil boom did not travel much but the money they stole travelled far and wide into their foreign bank accounts.

He will definitely account one day,that is very certain
If he did well he will receive his dues ,if not he will also receive his dues
So let him enjoy the moment

thirdi:
tables turn with time

very true

israelmao:
The cheerful and cheering news is,last term of 4years is fast ticking away and Keyamo will soon know that nothing is left to hold his erstwhile integrity.He should go to his closet and search meticulously with an open mind and crtical analysis whether there's an iota of democratic etho in Buhari and his style of leadership.Keyamo might have made money but it's quite unfortunate that money cannot buy him back his lost integrity.

for those that knew him,he has no integrity like is master,the saying that birds of a feather flock together hold true for them,if you scrutinized them,keyamo from fryo during bola ige assassination to present has the same pattern,what he will gain,and to an extent he has succeeded

efighter:
Idiot. Bode Rhodes-Vivour from Lagos is from a PDP family. Different members of his extended family have contested and lost different election under the PDP . Please tell us another lie.

Rhodes vivour is tinubu boy,forget wetin you dey yan

Trimque2k1:
hey in as much as we do make mockery of many things here online, let's be sincere sometimes.Buhari got so many followers that even Atiku can't boost of not to talk of Jona of 2015

followers because of what exactly
Tell me what buhari stands for that one can look up to as a role model
Except this bandwagon thing , like supporting a club in premiership,laliga, interlia Seria etc nothing notable for supporting buhari
You may say it if you know
Because we are in his regime,we can't see his benefit except hardships,he is the only one balling,including the cabal and his family

landforeast:
Amechi is even more active than Fashola
The man is trying Sha
If Buhari will work like this, Nigerians won't have problems with him but you see travelling won't allow him concentrate.

anything from tinubu Na scam,na hype them they use because of their control of the media
Now that he is in other clime, has fashola not been exposed as just noise and arrogance and insensitivity

BuhariBuster:
For those rejoicing, read this part



The rising demand will only result in one thing, price increase. With no parallel increase in income, the poor Nigerian will be poorer at the expense of the rich. Tighten your belts folks!

it is ok as long as our neighbors suffers and knows that a mighty king reigneth

This has never happened in this country since the return of democracy in 1999 for people to start agitating for who takes over next immediately after an election instead of facing governance,this had shown clearly that this party APC formed just to take over powere nothing more,they are not interested in service
They are bunch of power mongers nothing more no wonder the country is the way it is

voltron14:
You are quick to tell lies with the singular motive of causing disaffection, chaos and mayhem.

I often state that Nigerians aren't ready for many things and definitely we aren't ready for social media.

We post gory images every day.

We do not care about privacy and the right to it.

We post pictures from other climes and claim it happened right at our doorstep.

Censorship is pretty much welcomed.

you and your government should pack and go back to stone age,people are progressing you are recommending retrogression
You guys have not told us what you are afraid of but we know
You did it in 1984 to what end or was there social media then
If the country did not burn in 2014/2015 with your recklessness in opposition then ,it cant burn now
You are just afraid of your shadows
Do the job you are elected to do,y

djdutch:
Buhari should also try to regulate David Cameron. The truth can never be hidden.


Previous governments of OBJ,Yardua,Goodluck Jonathan never regulated social media. It is the regime that turned the country to the poverty and corruption capital that now want to regulate social media and you see noting wrong with that

Na person wey no get job dey leave leprosy dey chase ringworm,buhari is a mistake in that office,he doesn't know what presidents do,he can get his priorities right, 1984 Na same thing what is he afraid of,and his followers fancy him as a general,even Johnathan a bloody civilian was not afraid of the people talk

voltron14:
With the lies you guys cook every day only a stupid government would allow you burn the country down.

You are not better behaved than he Chinese and even they censore the use of social media.

you are always quick to copy other nations when it suits your government only but you are always blind and hence unable to copy the goods those people do to their people,abi the Chinese and Nigerians dey the same level of enjoyment,hypocricy

You be my friend o but you fall hand for this one
You know non of this gain is going to happen
They said same when the price of petroleum products was to be increased,that will put end to subsidy and new refineries will be built and eventually stop importation,non has happened
They increased exchange rate to discourage importation and boost local production non has happened
In all the cases just like the present situation,it is just serving the masses hardship like serving amala

Nigerian media generally are the problem,they have abandoned their role as the fourth estate of the realm because of brown envelope
Compared to their counterparts during the military which was even more riskier, the present crop of journalists are a complete disgrace

ivandragon:
Lol...

I thought he once said that only the guilty flee & are afraid of prosecution...

Why is he now complaining now that the tables are turned?

Mr. Man, those chasing you are the same people that used you to chase others... Your usefulness to them has expired & now they want to use you to silence those that say this administration does not prosecute those corrupt officials in this administration...

You fit all the needed criteria to be made the Scape goat... So quietly come & get your comeuppance...

That is how karma works,it usually work wonders,very precise

RTSC:
If buhari was a man of integrity, isn't that the kind of polices he should institute before he leaves to reduce the cost of governance of future presidents, and also set a landmark for generations unborn.

After all, he has nothing to lose. He is already old.

But na lie, baba must overdo.

buhari Na the biggest scam now,you no know

jaxxy:
I feel sad for this country. We have the most hypocritical leaders. Recklessly living on tax payers money and public funds during this bad and even worst economiy to face the country.


What kind of nonsense leaders are these?

what kind of docile followers are these

emkz:
You seem very well read.

I am impressed that you agree that Jonathan failed. We'd assess Buhari at the end of his tenure.

Are you aware that goods sold in Nigeria are brought in through Niger and Benin, without paying the accruable custom duties? Do you know the meaning of the word "smuggling"? Are you aware that refined products for which your government pays subsidies end up being sold in neighbouring countries? Do you need a degree to understand that it is robbing the government and yourself?

Sea and aerial borders are not closed. If you want to buy luxurious items, do it the proper way and pay the government what belongs to the government.

Are you aware that there is no budget that has been fully implemented since 1999? Are you also aware that there is no guarantee that the proposed budget would be fully funded?

Do you know how much of crude is pumped out of Nigeria daily? Multiply that with the cost of a barrel, assuming all are sold. Deduct production sharng costs, do you know how much that is? Nigeria is not a rich country, but we have been importing rubbish since we can remember. Can a poor country do that? If any country tries that, it would collapse. HasNigeria collapsed??

On the indices of development on the common man, that should be fine our focus; not the cost of Buhari's shoes.

Finally, on Kate Middleton and the British people. Do you realize those guys pay taxes? Do you realize they hold their representatives accountable? Can you tell me what you pay in income taxes? Can you tell me the name of your representative? When last did you engage him on the constituency problems?

Please do you understand now?

A leader is as good as his followers,with followers like your type , buhari can never deliver
Your reasoning is poor and shallow and completely unpatriotic

ayukdaboss:
Reno is just an idiot.

yes he exposed the hypocrisy of your Lord,how dare he did that
