BrokenTV:
Assuming that GEJ was in the same situation like Buhari what will be your conclusion.

I don't do childish things my friend. With the thinking cap i have on, I won't assume the rubbish you guys are assuming now

VickJames:
May he finally went inside to have his own meeting.

He must have stood for quite a time for those shots to be taken without any evidence of his aides around him.

You see why you should have your mind clean of mischief and it's like? see the note on that very picture that's giving you nightmares

I'm sure you know ''following'' is the same thing as ''after''?

VickJames:


Saw the pictures above.

Someone already did the needful

i noticed

VickJames:
Times are hard, 5mb can be used to protest against fuel scarcity.

Alright then

cheers

Kastonkastroll:
at some point, I really do think buhari should be careful with the way and manner he moves around without his aides or proper security. he shouldn't apply any simplicity when it comes to his personal security.... I don't buy that kinda simplicity or integrity. He is the president-elect of the federal republic of Nigeria, Africa power house. Anyway I do hope our amiable general won't take his own personal security very loosely when he is eventually sworn in.

God bless our amiable general
God bless Nigeria.

You can be sure he won't joke with his security when he gets in.

but until then.....

VickJames:
The shown about our president didn't tell the full story, but from those pictures seen above, the situation was different.

Why should a president-elect be waiting for his aides? Are they looking for TANoids in downing street or better, they saw a nkwobi joint around the street.

maybe he saw a palm wine joint and wanted to sample home.

now does that explanation satisfy your urge to find fault?

If you have more than the 5MB dash from the networks, there are more than enough pictures of this event with notes on each by the photo Journalist who took them at the link below

now go ahead and indulge your curiosity

VickJames:
These guys came out from the building but our president-elect stood outside.

That's a big difference

because he had just finished meeting with David Cameron and was waiting for his aides and his vehicle

dunkem21:
Please show us a picture of a leader with hands at the back, legs akimbo and looking lost ..

Is there a regulated way of standing in front of 10 Downing street you might want to share?

aresa:
Why waste your prayers on unintelligent trolls and TaNoids.

Its crazy I tell ya

OduBaba123:
He doesn't need to reassure them of payment. All he need to do is reassure them that he will look into it. How hard can that be?

My friend, these are hardened and ruthless businessmen who enjoy ripping off the country, not small kids or doe eyed girlfriends.

You don't get them to back off with such statements like "I'll look into it". We are talking of N200B here

PassingShot:
I only read the opening paragraph and stopped the moment I realized his folly.

In any case, I trust Buhari to act rightly on the fuel subsidy wahala.

Sure he will. He's not wired to do otherwise

PassingShot:
OP, you no try at all.

I advise you try harder and smarter next time.

This type of old news (2012) has no relevance today.

My bro, dont mind the guy. If you read the body of the report itself, the premise on which GMB voiced his concerns are very legit and I'm sure will form the basis for whatever decision he'll take on the matter.

For instance, see this portion below where he talked of the process not being transparent enough to decipher what subsidy really means

He insisted that most of the elements that go into "what is called subsidy is the cost of corruption in the opaque business of oil import that has become a cash cow for the alliance of oil importers and government officials bleeding Nigeria white."


Then going on to list the various sharp practices that shoot up the bill fraudulently

"The statement continued: "Buhari maintains that the sharp practices that characterize importation of petroleum products suggest that the state of our refineries is a deliberate sabotage by these powerful forces who are doing illicit business at the expense of the welfare of the people of Nigeria.

"If this were not so, why is it that the public does not know how much a litre of petrol is bought from the international market and the places we are buying from? Why is consignment deliberately left at the Ports for I4 days to attract demurrage? Why go and pile charges at private jetties again which is also part of the landing costs."

The man knows what he's saying. When a searchlight is beamed on the process, we will know whether subsidy is actually being paid or some smart alecs are just ripping us off

spongeisback:
No sir, maybe they expect Buhari to use internet terminologies...
Dear Baes,
You know Nigeria is not on fleek ATM so we should work together to make it tight. YOLO!
Followed by a duck lip and a peace sign.

Even me sef go mess up if i have to flow in that Lingo

M0GIDI:
Learn to accept the criticisms that would come Buhari's way.

As Nigerian citizens we're duty bound to hold him to his promise of Utopia, deal with it.

Keep it up my friend....

even the madman ranting at the B/stop everyday is also criticizing something but we know better than to take him serious

Learn the art of constructive and issue based criticism. This is free advice

SLYBABA:
[size=24pt]This SIGIDI OR MOGIDI SHLD be suspended. As lousy as his name is. Anyway you pple said Buhari shld not run a parallel govt. now you sayhe shld intervene. Do you guys really know what you want?[/size]

When have they ever known what they want?

They say GMB is an Islamist who will implement sharia, next they say He is an ally of the US to legalize gay marriage.

They say he's a dictator who will ride roughshod over everybody, next they say he's weakling who will be controlled by Tinubu

they say he's a stooge of the Yoruba race, Next they say he's a vindictive Fulani who will deal with the Yoruba race.

TANoids don't/Can't know what they really want. It's the spirit of cluelessness at work

Then NDLEA must vacate his residence.

They should learn to do their work in a more professional way. If you leave loopholes, smart lawyers will capitalize on it.

M0GIDI:
I pray you don't have heart attack in the next 4yrs, lets see how easy it is to govern.

You're the one in danger of heart attack my friend. From depression, hate and bitterness all because Nigerians kicked GEJ out.

Nigerians have made their choice and are moving on. GEJ has moved on, even PEJ has followed suit, what are you waiting for?

M0GIDI:
Instead of reassuring them he flew to London to receive instructions from Cameron.

What advice does he expect from Cameron when this is largely a Nigerian problem?

Iweala the woman who should know is disputing the claims and you expect GMB to jump in and reassure them? of what exactly?

I will keep praying for you

OduBaba123:
He’s the reason they are on strike. They are not sure he will pay them. Why can’t he reassure them that he’ll look into their matter? Just reassure them for the interest of the poor masses.

Fuel is now N300/liter. No light for 4 days (if they’re really sabotaging it, I don’t know). Transport is high. Price of everything is rising. Even my bank is feeling it. They just sent me SMS telling me that they’ll now be closing by 1pm because of fuel scarcity.

Why is Buhari pretending as if he doesn’t know what to do?

At least, we have been hearing his voice in the media lately. Why has he NOT said anything about the fuel scarcity? Why has he not done anything the help the situation?

If he’s responsible, now is the time to show it.

He should show some sign of responsibility. Just his words of assurance can end all these. He doesn’t have to say “I’ll pay you.” All he need say is, “I’ll look into it.” how hard can that be?

Anyway, I don’t blame him. If fuel turns to N1,000 /liter, it won’t affect him. So he doesn’t care. It is us down here that are suffering it. Not him. Not them.

Men, I’m just tired of this their “everything politics.” Must Buhari become “The President” before he starts taking responsibilities?

I’m just a frustrated Nigerian voicing out my frustration. I hope somebody hears me.

He should reassure them about a payment whose genuineness even the current minister of Finance is disputing?

This is serious!!

ionsman:
Where answering him. .That guy's brain is made of Agidi.

Na my guy abeg

Pity am

M0GIDI:
Why didn't Buhari wait to be president before electing to queue in front of downing street?

See the explanation on this particular picture from the Reporter who covered it

http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/nigerias-president-elect-muhammadu-buhari-stands-in-downing-news-photo/474453606

I trust you know ''following'' means ''after''?

mrmetoo1:
Look all of them know better but they're hoping there are people out there dumber than them that'll swallow this crap hook, line, sinker. This is about the 5th thread they're creating on this topic and people keep exposing their silliness but they've kept on at it.

I know jare my brother. It's hilarious that some are actually dumb enough to believe it

M0GIDI:
What a disgrace, Cameron can never leave GEJ standing outside the door to number 10 Downing street, who born monkey?
I pray this is not how the world will treat our "certificateless" president.

What's next, Buhari standing in front of white house waiting for Obama?

ehhhh...this my friend o. @bold, you'll see him in china riding a bicycle to see president Xi Jinping so you can mock very well

OduaVanguard:
Lol. Ah bros, no talk so, iya yi ti po ju. The suffering don dey too much.

I have been using my generator to charge my inverter since, and am running out of fuel fast. If true it will be a welcome development.

I understand bro. My wife has been complaining about it since, i just dey beg her to chill

I'm very far away in a place where i'm not feeling it at all but it breaks my heart when i see what people are going through.

Thank God it's over now

M0GIDI:
Lets hope Buhari doesn't fluff his lines in front of global audience, it would be a disaster.
I sure hope he's had some elocution lessons too.

Thanks for your 'concern'.

English language hasn't changed since he handled that same office 30 years ago so don't get scared. As for elocution, Those members of the international community who have been falling over themselves to come congratulate him didn't complain, so i wonder why you're jittery?

If the elocutionary 'prowess' of Ban Ki Mon doesn't give the world the chills, they WILL NOT COMPLAIN about GMB's

or even yours for that matter

who beg them??

M0GIDI:
Why is Buhari not in Nigeria to rehearse?

Can you show us GEJ rehearsing in the pictures above?

Abi you think say na wedding preparations?

deen11:
I want to believe it's just a mere coincidence, and overblown by PDP....I watched it live on channels on Saturday but what I really don't like in the event was hw Cameron left Buhari outside after seeing him off the door to wait for his aides all alone. Cameron shd have waited and ensured GMB entered his car before he left. But not as bad as being painted.....the interval wasn't up to 10secs before his aides joined him outside.

bro, there are protocols. GMB isn't president yet. He was there in a personal capacity so that wasn't unusual at all. Was Cameron expected to chaperone Buhari's aides? You can see GMB even avoided the limelight by refusing the Nigerian High commision from turning it into an illegal 'official' event with their razzamatazz

It even shows how highly esteemed he is by the British govt for Cameron to open the doors of govt to him at such short notice without going through all the diplomatic brouhaha.

@the bold, TANoids would have us believe he was there for 30mins. They obviously don't know how fast Photo Journalists click their cameras. Maybe they assumed GMB was posing for a photo shoot there

i actually refused to post on those silly threads.

Only an 1diot will believe that Cameron agreed to open the doors of 10 Downing street to an uninvited or unexpected guest and the British broadcaster, Sky News will also broadcast the event.

Imagine an 'educated' Metuh saying GMB waited for 30 mins outside (which the notable broadcasters in the world failed to report) and 'intelligent' homo sapiens believed it?

Common sense is indeed not too common

RareDiamond:
IT IS ONLY YOU THAT IS DOOMED NOT THE IGBOS !!! OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT IGBO BUT AN EMPTY HEADED HAUSA OR MAYBE YORUBA. FUEL IN LAGOS SELLS FOR N350 PER LITER CURRENTLY, THAT IS IF IT IS AVAILABLE. THE SITUATION IN THE EAST IS NOT AS BAD AS IN THE WEST OR NORTH.

Chai!!!! i like this guy.

Really
