This list, if it exists now, is not something that should be kept hidden by now. Nigerians need hope and we can get this hope when we know who and who this man is going to work with. The success of Buhari's tenure depends on the calibers of people he will work with and not necessarily him. Let's know them so we can comfort ourselves. Not everyone is like those that started rejoicing when they heard the election results. History has taught us that the real work begins after the election results and not the election results. Playing politics with the ministerial list won't work.
I understand your cries my dear. We have suffered enough. But just be patient a lil. You will eventually see the list. Maybe he has reasons for protecting this list until there is a sitting senate to approve it?......... The important thing is that these people should perform and perform they must!

very hypocritical of you OP.In retrospect now was GEJ not right to have removed subsidy in Jan 2012? yor stupidity know no bounds.Buhari asked poor people to contribute money for him to buy his nomination form claiming to have just N2M in his account.Now this same "poor" man's wife is adorning a watch of N10.5 M and you want Nigerians to remain silent. In the last few days book haram have been ravaging borno state and the dullard is busy gallivanting to Niger and sudan
Removing subsidy on the first of Jan was the most stupid and insensitive thing ever! There are things you do before removing subsidy. Now talking about subsidy, I don't know if you have seen a video of Buhari question the existence of subsidy in the first place. It's a must watch! That's all I will say to you. I sha know the coming weeks will be very interesting.

Save us your epistle...We are not interested whether you are a runs girl or a 419ner. We are interested in Aisha because it is amusing that the wife of a "poor man" with less than a million will wear N10.5M watch. Only God knows how many of those she has in her collection.

The so called "Mr integrity" knows that declaring publicly his asset will send shock to Nigerians, has refused to release it despite his "pledge" to do it(and vowed not to). To spite his old-self, he directed us to invoke FOI claiming that he has "fulfilled" his unfulfilled pledge by declaring with CCB. Otherwise, what prevents him from sending same infor he gave the CCB to the press/media? What he did is no different from what other office-holders have been doing. Isn't that fraudulent?

The so-called general criticised Jonathan for doing something and was hailed by sai buhari trolls(like you op) but turned out to do same thing. Isn't that deceitful?

How do you define incompetence when the same general refused to condemn the May 29 Boko haram attack that happened in the morning of said day just few moments after his inauguration but decided to party and send a picture of him in the mosque? The old general only condemned subsequent bh attack that happened the next day. The record is there. Isn't that inconpetence and non-challance?

The dude vowed to allow ongoing corruption probe to go on only for his Directer of Public Prosecution to withdraw N2.5 billion corruption suit against APC chief and Buhari ally Timpre Sylva. Is Buhari not a fraud?

Should we keep quiet until the clown has destroyed this country? The man is just an old con artist in the mold of Obasanjo...we are watching!
Lol. So na condemn you dey find now ba? I thought you condemned him for only condemning the other attacks? That day was his inauguration. He had to party. He was duty bound to party.

And hey, you have no moral rights to talk about BH since it was under you boss that they went from using knives to world class technologies.

Buhari was a Military head of state. You'd be totally naive to believe he was poor. He never called himself that though.

As for Sylvia, really where did that allegation come from? What prove do you have to show? Well, I admit Buhari should have let it go on until they can prove there is no solid proof against Sylvia. Lol! so now you want him to probe people ehn? When he probes your madam don't talk o and all your oga's girlfriends don't cry o.
PoliticsOpposition 101: A Guide To Effective Opposition criticism, General Checkmating by Sweetlemon(op):
I first watched in shock, then irritation, and then plain amusement as people began making demands from Buhari even before his swearing-in, minutes after his inaugural speech and now days after his swearing in. Precisely today is Tuesday, 4 days after his inauguration and the air is filled with all kinds of talk ranging from his decision to relocate army command to Maiduguri to his wife’s wristwatch to even his children’s beauty to his appointment of this two advisers, his yet-to-be-released ministerial list, to his visiting Chad and Niger for assistance on BH. Some already comparing his administration to GEJ’s and re-instating the latter’s hero ship.
Now, for those who say they are doing to him what was done to GEJ, you guys seem to be missing something.
People like me did not start hating on GEJ just like that. He had an easy ride to aso rock with so much goodwill. In fact, we didn’t start active mobilization against him until after the 2012 New year gift he gave us. Maybe we need to revisit GEJ’s administration from the first day so we can refresh our memories that the man had little or nothing to show from the beginning. We only started talking after that VERY major blunder. So please don’t begin to compare the two men. GEJ inherited a much healthier treasury, a much more peaceful country, and much more enviable economy. Campaign promises or not, you’d be total slowpoke to expect those promises to start manifesting before even 6 months. You’d be more naïve to expect Nigeria to bounce back in respectable shape before at least a year, judging from all what I have heard and seen around me. Buhari said many times not to expect miracles. He did give promises, but never called himself a magician or miracle worker. He warned us severally that the road was NOT looking smooth.
Now I will comment on some issues people have been talking about Buhari, the important ones….

1. Aisha’s Wristwatch: Wow. So because I’m not a run’s girl I cannot own an iPhone 6, wear 300k weaves, or drive an expensive car without people calling me one? So I cannot have a good honest job anymore or a rich bf/fiancée/hubby again ba? Just because Buhari is not corrupt does not mean that he would be poor. He is a well-connected man. Meaning he will always have people coming to his aid every now and then. Aisha I hear is even from an influential background. Now tell me, let’s assume her wristwatch cost 1Nb did she buy it with govt moneyhuhhuhhuhhuh? Is it not better we see them with money already so that when we later see them with such stuff later we won’t say she used govt moneyhuhhuhhuhhuhhuhhuh You get my point?

2. That Buhari is Now Seeking International Aid for The Fight Against BH: Ok. I am not a security personnel I don’t know jack about what is the best way to fight BH but all I do know is that BH must be fought and Buhari must take responsibility henceforth. Do I care that he’s seeking for international aid after condemning Jonathan for doing same? Well… a lil. But as at now what is the true state of our military? Can we truthfully say that they are ok. Hell no! There’s too much rot in the military now and perhaps that’s why Buhari felt waiting to clean the rot while BH claim more lives would only be counter-productive. He sha had to start doing something, anything to fight BH. NOW. Unlike GEJ who only woke up few weeks to the elections after having 5 years at his disposal but sat back and allowed the sect grow from using knives and basic guns to competing with the most financed terror groups in the world. Buhari did not just condemn BH and looked away, he’s backing it up with action. There is a plan to move the command quarters to Maiduguri, let’s watch and see how that unfolds. Buhari def is not the type to go partying after a bomb blast or say that terrorism is everywhere and that it’s our turn or cry that it’s the work of his enemies and even say that BH has infiltrated his govt and do absolutely nothing about flushing them out of his govt. You get my point again?

3. Buhari’s Yet-To-Be-Released Ministerial List: Ok so we have no idea yet who our new ministers are after 2 work days huh? Wow! That’s so baaaaaaad! Lol! Abeg, have you all thought maybe he’s taking his time to come up with the best he could possibly get? Don’t you think he’d be a lil bit scared of making the mistake of surrounding himself with praise singers? Don’t you think he knows that you all will fry him if his cabinet disappoints? Is that not a good reason why he might want to delay this all-important list a lil bit? You’re getting my point ko?

4. Declaring of Assets Publicly: Well, I believe Buhari should just keep people quiet about this. After all he made that promise. Just go on air or wherever and get it done with. Like how Yar’Adua did it. But me o, I don’t give a damn about that. All I care and desire from politicians is PERFORMANCE. If you like declare your ancestor’s assets, but if you fail to deliver key expectations, you are useless to me. Akpabio and Fashola never declared jack, and my dears, those guys looted like hell but we all know they were the best ever! Shey you have finally gotten my point?

The list goes on but I will stop here. Nigeria is pretty much in her restarting and reinstalling stages and you will do yourself good by being a little bit patient. Yes study what’s happening around you, watch, take notes. But be patient. Concern yourself with important things. Don’t let petty and frivolous things take your eyes away from the price. Nigeria will get there….. Soon.

Sai Buhari

Sai Nigeria.

First lady is ceremonial. Just a title attached to the wife of the Governor/President. So it cannot be an issue.

It is not exactly normal that a woman would marry a man old enough to be her dad. Not the first time, but definitely still abnormal. Buhari himself is guilty of this so perhaps you are right.

All these APC matter analysts sha. That was how they said Fashola and Tinubu are fighting.

Tinubu is like a hero in the North now. Many of my Northern friends celebrated him after the elections by using him as their social media profile picture.

The North is VERY cool with Tinubu the last time I checked. It surprises me that most people still underrate Tinubu's political sense.

You people should better start learning to live with Tinubu. He's the grand planner of the change we are beginning to see now. There's no single way Tinubu will be left out of the picture. Buhari, (aboki or cattle rearer) cannot disregard him. He's much more powerful than you can ever imagine! Just take the lemons like that and make a tall glass of lemonade with them.
