It's a pity hearing from Buhari's SSA on media saying on live telecast, that their propaganda and lies will cause Nigerians to stone anybody associated with PDP forthwith.

A ruling party with a mandate to use lies to annihilate the opposition thereby claiming all their achievements even when the country has not gotten it so bad Economy-wise ever before in comparison to APC/Buhari's 90 days in office.

In some climes where institution building that support democratic governance is of paramount importance, some ministers and heads of agencies that introduced "legacy policies" should be retained until their brain child(ren) are fully implemented and institutionalized.

Public servants are prone to temptation that they will steal and damn the consequences hence my support for Jonathan's goat and yam theory and the far reaching institutions he established to keep the yam away from the goat. I know Buhari will not be everywhere to monitor public servants and political appointees hence his fire brigade formula wouldn't discourage thieves/looters from their subconscious tricks.
@bolded...If only you know how much already looted since May 29th...

Buhari came with analogue mentality to solve digital problem...Degree of success here is highly debatable...

BTW Everybody seem to be looking at corruption as a federal government thing...Ever imagined how corrupt an average Nigerian is?...Corruption here is already ingrained in our subconscious... And gets worse as we celebrate wealth over values and morals...

socialist ideals is not what will work right now.it can sustain in autopilot but now fight back the pressure on the economy from the outside.
Ya bro...Socialism isn't an ideal economic system for a country like ours...

Check out Osun state...Check out free education with no quality in Imo state...

If only Nigeria can have smart and sincere leaders like Peter Obi then we will always smile with progress in all sectors... Just see how Anambra state is moving on without borrowing any single kobo amidst the tight economy...I pray Obiano keeps the flag flying higher...

Now, imagine if APC had been that good and sincere in governance, what states like Lagos would be like today...

My point is, why is the judiciary deliberately muzzled on this aspect? The fact that d judiciary is not absolutely independent is a problem already.
Ya...I get it now...Actually, I wish something will happen to force Buhari to implement the Confab report because lots of resolutions there will aid and sort out lots of anomaly in the system...

Believe me, Nigeria is presently structured to make a failure of anybody ruling her...just because oligarchs up north wanted to protect sectional interest against national interest...

Buhari is refusing subsidy removal now because of sectional interest as against national interest... PMS will be costlier in the North as against South if subsidy goes today...Same also for refinery privatisation; his political interest as against national interest...

Restructure the country or implement confab report and we have automatically moved more towards strong institutions that encourage success and good governance as against the knack to see strong individuals which breeds corruption and intimidation...

You're right.

From every indication, APC and Buhari were not prepared for the business of governance rather they were tutored in the art and crafts of opposition politics.

No wonder after three months in government and five months after winning elections, they are still unable to articulate or chat a new line of course for the country having condemned the policies of Jonathan's administration.

I sometimes begin to wonder what would've become of this country had Jonathan's administration withheld the handover documents and behaved like Amaechi in Rivers State.

It will do APC administration good to continue with Goodluck Jonathan's policies until they can come up with their socialist blueprint and policies having jettisoned the manifesto that brought them to power


In summary, I believed Nigeria is in a relay race and our elected governments are our team hence it is unbecoming of a team player to blame a team member as soon as the Barton is handed over to him while the race has not been won or consummated. I will prefer Buhari having collected the Barton should pick the race and see if Nigeria can be on the medal table after which the blame game and investigations can be launched in full gear.
Great submission my chairman...

Kindly note the bolded...APC adopted it because of feudal north and Awolowo mentality of SW but I see it as speed lane to bankruptcy and economic laziness... Osun state is a clear example of such inept economic system...

Jonathan is everything that Buhari/APC cannot be... I believe as the kitchen gets hotter by the day, they will unleash the animalistic tendency in them because they lack ideas for better governance...Read the anger, frustration and insults imbedded in Shehu Garba or Lai Mohammed replies to specific questions and see them dodging such questions to engage in rhetorics and phantom story of clearing their imaginary mess left behind...

If they are sure that Jonathan or anybody stole, why can't they do the needful and stop the noisemaking, blackmail and character assassination of people...

Jonathan built institutions while APC is building propaganda - Lady Excellency
Maybe you will love to read through this article written forth night ago by me...An excerpt reads;"In fight against corruption; It should be noted here, that I am an apostle of Jonathan's proactive measure as shown in his yam & goat analogy as against Buhari's reactive measure of jail policy. Has armed robbery ended with all the jail terms meted to them? Why would treasury looting be any different? I am a candidate of Jonathan's school of thought that believes in building strong institutions as against Buhari's or APC knack for strong individuals. I believe just like Jonathan/PDP that Nigeria's challenge is more in the structure as against Buhari/APC's belief that it is in the faces. Those are my creed.

kenny987:
Chapter 2 of the Nigerian Constitution covers the obligations of the government to the people. The duties it ought to carry out such as protection of life and property, protection/preservation of the environment and so on are there. But Section 6 of the constitution which creates and empowers the judiciary also bars it from judicial review or inquiry into anything that has to do with Chapter 2. So even when the govt of the day is obviously failing in its duties for no just cause, no one can question them about it. (I am on transit now, when I am settled I will produce the relevant Constitutional provisions).
Legislature can still monitor them except that lots of intrigue and party politics is involved in NASS...

hinwazaka:
On ChannelsTV, Sunrise daily, the character known as Lai Mohammed was featured. This were the points he raised
* The President, never made any promises concerning the duration of 100 days
* Nigerians should only trust in the APC manifesto(The same manifesto which states that the APC will deliver on some of its promises in a 100 days).
* The publications by the media during the election concerning campaign promises were false
* The APC, during the elections, dispelled the comment by a group claiming to be affiliated with the APC, concerning the President being a sponsor of the Boko Haram sect( but failed to dispel comments concerning bogus campaign promises)
* The President, has the right to appoint any one as his personal staff( the offices are supposed to be public)
* Trial by media, is ok. Afterall, if you can't do the time, do the crime
* The government can not be held to ransom by any public opinion
* There is a report that Ogbonaya Onu is happy with the appointments made/ that's if the report is true
This and many more statements were made by the national publicity secretary on the show. Luckily, after his interview, Barrister Ebun Olu Adegboruwa came on to sufficiently dispel all that was said by the character known as Lai Mohammed.
You should not be surprised because Obj played same politics of blackmail and blood...

Tinubu is the champion of politics of blackmail and blood...

Wonder why opponents of such men find themselves in grave or with battered image more often than not...

Buhari was deified by folks simply thanks to bigotry...No matter the extent stupidity he displays in the presidency, they will still support and cheer him...

I wake up everyday and see more reasons why I should not share same country with schizophrenic guys who can look you in the face and lie even shed your blood...

The truth hurts the eyes and ears of many but it can never die. These are obvious facts that many will still come to defend but if only they will quietly sit down and reflect...

I do not blame and in fact support Biafrans who wish to part ways with this country as it is. If the terms of engagement will not be discussed, reviewed and implemented to allow regions develop at their paces then the continued existence of Nigeria as currently run is in doubt.

I wonder how they make promises, coast into power and deny them! Yet they cannot be held accountable?! I think it's time to make it a law that manifestoes of the winning party/govt after elections must be adhered to and reviewed periodically. Not just cosmetic government review but with samples of public opinion from every region because power resides with the people! Failure to meet with promises made amount to a breach and disqualifies such persons for re-election. Maybe then politicians will know that the social contract of governance is sacrosanct.

There is also the puzzling aspect of non justiciability of Chapter 2 of the Constitution that must also be re-visited to hold leaders accountable.
Throw more light @bolded plzzz...
Politics › Before We Are Driven Past Our Home... by Whynotthetruth(op):
In an interview granted to Thisday Newspapers, National chairman of APC did allude to the lopsided nature of President Buhari's appointment but in the course of this made a grave statement; which should get every sane Nigerian worried about the future of this country.

Hear APC Chairman here; "The appointments made so far are personal staff members of the president. And it is his prerogative to make those appointments.” http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/odigie-oyegun-henceforth-apc-will-be-more-involved-in-fg-appointments/218888/

So many questions come to mind here;

1)Is APC chairman per chance insinuating that INEC, Custom boss, AGF, Immigration boss, etc are now personal staff of Buhari?

2)Does it mean that we are about to experience conversion of government to family affair as is the case in Lagos, Kwara, and some of other states?

3)Is it not worrisome that most of Buhari's appointment came from his region(North-West) & his wife's region (Northeast)?

4)Doesn't it portend serious threat to workers morale as their career growth is hindered by Buhari's penchant for appointing outsider's to head agencies and organizations of government like DSS, Customs etc?

5)If the Chairman, is saying that they would henceforth get involved in Buhari's appointment; does it mean they wanted to see if Nigerians would keep quiet or otherwise before becoming sensitive to the diversity of the country?...Remember, APC waited too for public outcry from people including their chief consultant; ,Obasanjo before killing the idea of Muslim/Muslim ticket.

Aside that, we hear more ridiculous and irresponsible statement credited to Lai Mohammed of APC who said because former President Jonathan/PDP looted the country blind hence they can't fulfill their campaign promises. http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/jonathan-is-the-reason-we-cant-give-school-kids-1-free-meal-or-pay-n5-000-monthly-apc.116781/

1)Does it mean that APC and Buhari were carelessly making statements during elections without ascertaining what exactly is the situation of the country with regard to our economy notwithstanding the FOI law which APC states like Lagos, Oyo etc refused to domesticate and are fighting same in court?

2)Was oil price not down when they made those promises?

3)Having denied ALL their campaign promises now, aren't they telling Nigerians to expect nothing or manage whatever we see at best?

4)Isn't their action now indicative of the fact that ALL they wanted was power and not any good governance to Nigeria?

5)Was Buhari elected president to gallivant and enjoy protocols or solve problems where there is one and proffer solutions where challenges exist instead of boring us with blames and excuses daily?...Maybe Buhari need to study how Bill Clinton & Barack Obama behaved who both came at a time of great economic challenge in America.

6)Is Buhari/APC already dishing out reasons for failure or mediocrity governance in the next few years having observed that ALL Jonathan did while in government is what they are replicating, and seeking to take glory for from backdoor hence the body language slogan, since they are bereft of new & better ideas?

7)Since when did media blackmail, media prosecution and conviction in court of public opinion; as well as character assassination of individuals amount to corruption fight in the dictionary of APC and Bubari?

8.)Isn't it a pointer that they(APC) and Buhari lack credibility and are bereft of ideas hence instead of unearthing facts cum evidences to prosecute corrupt officials they subject ALL perceived opponents to media ridicule and conviction in the court of public opinion and encourage jungle justice as Oshiomole did?

9)If Jonathan/PDP stole Nigeria's money, why can't Buhari/APC stop making noise and recover same from them to fulfill their campaign promises to the masses?

In all, Buhari & APC should note that empty vessels make the most noise. And noisemakers achieve less, because they are never recollected in themselves to articulate any informed way of progression. When they do more talking, it follows like day the night that they would do less working. Alluding such improvements as in power, agricultural sector etc to body language smacks of childishness and reducing governance to mockery. I wonder which salary backlog Shehu Garba thinks Buhari is clearing... http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/189267-anti-corruption-war-is-non-negotiable-buhari-replies-jonathans-ministers.html

Wthetruth lovely one you have up there. Only fools will see the glaring hardship bedeviling this country and still claim some stupid body odour abi na language is making things work. We're experiencing 1983 all over. A year where nothing worked in Nigeria apart from the prison systems, which led to an economic somersault.

Buhari needs to sit up and stop depending on propaganda and his body language to get things working, else we'll have a whole wasted 4 years far worse than Abacha and OBJ administration.

When I read that he distanced himself from campaign promises, I only but laughed. Now look at his gullible zombies still defending a liar like Buhari. He didn't make all those promises, then why did he ride on them to power?

Nigeria is irredeemable!!!

The SSA on Media was the Media Director for Buhari Campaign. When he saw those documents with "authorized Party Logo", why didn't he discountenance them? When didn't they discountenanced the documents immediately after winning the elections? The fact that he came out after 100D of PMB's government to discountenance a document that will highlight his achievements after 100D, is an open acceptance of failure on the government of PMB! Will the APC also come out to discountenance this document, since it had 'authorized' party logo? We are waiting for Lai Mohammed to tell his own story.

If you're seriously asking then I have to say I'm no expert on the subject.

For I myself have my own difficulties at communicating exactly how I feel at times.

However I think the key to communicating better especially in written form is all about being precise, concise, employing brevity of words, and avoiding vague and ambiguous words.

Summarily, have a CLEAR idea of what it is you want to say and say it in simple and plain words without digressing.

Firstly I have my reasons for supporting Buhari, I voted for GEJ 2011, I campaign for him on forums when Yar'Adua died, 6yrs of GEJ I couldn't pinpoint anything he achieve that realy touch the masses on the street, he was weak, Dull, clueless, confuse at a time, his policies and implementation were woefull.
I don't want to even enter into Power sector, health, etc....If PDP has brought somebody more credible may be the masses would hve considered, so u expect me to support PDP? After 16yrs of failure....you guy are sick in the head. Beside I know why you all complaining, relax major appointment ain't made yet, everything will be evenly distributed when the list is fully out!


]I stand by my point.....Buhari is the best thing that has happen to Nigeria period
You saw nothing good under Jonathan not because he did nothing but because you could not stand and differentiate between your right and left...

Who did the investments and infrastructure overhaul in power sector that buhari is talking about body language?

Who did investment in agriculture that buhari wants to claim today when he hasn't done anything...huh
