1. CALL FOR DEBT FORGIVENESS

On September 21, President Buhari lamented that developing countries were having issues with servicing their external debt and, therefore, appealed to world leaders to cancel the debt of countries roped in this challenge, Nigeria inclusive.

Buhari made the call at the 77th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA77), in New York, the United States of America.

“This equally calls for the need to address the burden of unsustainable external debts by a global commitment to the expansion and extension of the debt service suspension initiatives to countries facing fiscal and liquidity challenges as well as outright cancellation for countries facing the most severe challenges,” he said.

With governance being a continuous process, Buhari may have tacitly admitted the debt crisis into which he has launched the country, a big burden the next administration must carry.

His call, therefore, serves as a warning to the dangers ahead, long after former President Olusegun Obasanjo had negotiated Nigeria out of the debt trap.

What must not be denied by the Buhari administration is that Nigeria’s financial woes cannot be divorced from the unproductive economic policies, and outright mismanagement of the economy under his over seven-year leadership.

According to the Debt Management Office (DMO), in the second quarter of the year, Nigeria’s debt rose to $103.3 billion, mostly due to local borrowing to finance budget deficit.

The unsustainable debts incurred by Buhari cannot but be regarded as a sad legacy, if truth must be told. Indeed, the possibility of him repeating the feat achieved by the then Olusegun Obasanjo administration in 2005, which saw Nigeria’s external debt cancelled, is slim. This is the ugly reality he, and Nigerians must embrace.


2. PRESIDENTIAL COMMENDATION FOR NDLEA

The Presidency, on September 20, praised the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for its seizure of a large consignment of cocaine worth $278,250 (N194,775,000) after raiding a major warehouse in a secluded estate in Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

Buhari’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a statement, quoted him as saying “I deeply appreciate the work that you have put into the eradication of the drug menace.”

The Buba Marwa-led NDLEA deserves the commendation from Buhari. The seizure, nonetheless, shows that despite the tremendous efforts of the Agency, illicit drug business is still very much alive in the country.

The commendation should, therefore, serve as a strong motivation for the Marwa team, as they cannot afford to slow down in the fight against drug traffickers. This calls for Buhari to continue to provide the Agency with everything needed in this national assignment.

3. DEALING WITH CORRUPTION IN AFRICA

On September 24, President Buhari challenged African leaders to rid their countries of corruption.

According to a statement issued by Adesina, he threw the challenge at a high-level side event in New York, the United States.

Buhari asserted: “Corruption has dwarfed our growth and tainted our nations and continent. Africa remains at the far end of the development index and concerted efforts made in the last few years need to be sustained, deepened by good governance and accountability that are guided by the rule of law.”

It is no-brainer that corruption has battered many African countries. The President’s statement only accentuates all the distasteful tales that have been told about corruption. It is rather sad that despite Buhari’s resolve to stamp out corruption from the Nigerian polity, it keeps getting worse.

While it is good to inspire other African countries to fight off corruption in their polity, it would be more pleasing to see the President put in more effort in the anti-corruption war in the country.

Rodents can continue gathering 78 clowns to constitute nuisance on the streets and be calling it 20 million march.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the next president of the Fed Rep of Nig. Any antelope not okay with that can go lie down on the rail track at Oyingbo when a train is approaching.

The east was consumed the last time, it will happen again. Flaat head fools. You are sorrounded by people you hate, don't commit suicide. Kanu is a rat, he will die and his ipob terrorists will be killed, we the people will hunt them too, not just the military.

Michelle70:
thanks for the picture u posted.

It shows foreign nations shouldnt even be involved in the case.
And thanks to this warning, no foreign nation has declared support for Ipob.
The fight is not their fight but a Nigerian problem and we must solve our problem.
If Kanu cannot survive to see the end of our problem, then so be it.
We ho close him file and move on

Patriotsleague:
Oga you are a fool, when the war pops up, we will all turn to killers, hunt you enemies of the state and kill you all. You think it take much to kill?

You and all your families will be killed.

Thunder fire your papa.

Patriotsleague:
Stupid Igbo man speaking Yoruba, he will die,I pray he is killed so ipob fools go and rampage, this will help the military kill them in droves and end their madness.

Tinubuwins2023e:

TINUUBFF ... Muslim Muslim tickets

ATIKU... Muslim-christian tickets or Muslim

BUHARI... Muslim-christian tickets or Muslim

TINUBU undecided when he became president is 1st agenda.. put (Sharia law in Lagos) and looting start money

ATIKU.. if he became president is 1st agenda..
Is collect people land forcefully turn it to is private office even add Sharia law... All states

BUHARI... Don't care if the all states is bleeding
All he does is collect money and recruiting bandit into the country..

Kasssandra:
Probably not.

We had Buhari, who was supposed to be the sharia candidate, and he has not done that at all. Tinubu did not segregate schools when he was Lasgidi overlord.

So he won't do that as president...plus primary and secondary schools are largely state run...federal government has nothing to do there (unity schools, and schools run by the armed and paramillitary forces,as well as university owned schools,and other institution staff schools excepted).

Note...this does not mean I want you to vote for tinubu, especially as I am not voting for him.

JJuanMiguel:
Nigeria is a third world country, anyone who has money would prefer to send their kids/wards abroad. It is not limited to government or politicians alone.

Nigerians generally don't take government works seriously, because they know they will get their alerts no matter what. That's why the lecturers are using outdated syllabus and materials, and most of them come for lectures only when they feel like, these are part of what contribute to the production of half-baked graduates.

ASUU will lose something too this time around, and the stubborn ones among them will lose everything. Any one of them who is not satisfied with the current terms of employment should seek for better jobs in Oxford and Cambridge to continue their randy, indolent lifestyle there

Kasssandra:
No, taliban stopped girls from going to school after finishing primary school. (The ladies currently in university would be allowed to graduate..).

What Bauchi is doing is similar to what Iran is doing and what many other muslim countries are doing...segregate the schools by gender. In Iran's case it led to an increase in girls in school...since their ultraconservative muslim dads had no more excuse. (After all your daughter would be going to school with other girls. No strange boys or men...so why keep her at home?)

SultanOfPuna:
This is why The Elites dont want Northeners to go to School and get Education

Once the average Aboki is enlightened
The Elites can't impose rules on them.

That's why Boko H. hates western education
Because it will open the eyes of an average Northener
