Buhari has proven me right, instead of selling Nigeria abroad, he has continued the illiterate sympathy seeking games.

With the kind of criticism Buhari is getting here for what I know is a very correct analysis of the Nigerian situation, there is little wonder why we are where we are today. To all those saying he went "outside" and betrayed his country, I wonder what you guys mean by "outside" when almost all of of you come here and post more disparaging and scathing remarks about the state of the nation, and forget that in the present age, every single line on this forum is an "outside" statement when you consider how many foreign nationals (including their government agencies) visit Nairaland. If you ask, " why did he have to go "outside"?" Then please tell me when the truth about Nigeria stop being the truth, because it is spoken "outside' Nigeria? May God help us all.

Oh yes, he was 'obviously telling the truth' as claimed by many.
But my question is: why to the wrong audience.
He obviously overstated it.
He misfired!
Re: Buhari's Speech At Africa Diaspora Conference London by postemail: 6:24am On Mar 07, 2013
the Chairman pointed out that 18,000 public officers consume in the form of salaries, allowances and other perquisites N1.126 trillion naira (£4billion) of public funds. The total Nigerian budget for 2013 is N4.9 trillion (£20 billion). This is the worst form of corruption and oppression.

You all see where the problem lies?
Why would anyone feel aggrieved by Buhari's comment.
He had simply reinforced the truth that we all know -the nigerian nation is running on a broken system...And heading towards a failed state

Shame on you, you illiterate donkey, for the rubbish you wrote up there. Who criticizes America more than Americans? Besides, Illiterate, did you somehow miss the fact that this is how he started off: "By convention one usually would like to talk about his country outside its shores in glowing terms extolling its virtues and defending its values and interests. But the situation in our country is so bad and no one knows this better than the international community, that it would be futile to take this line today. "

Anyway, let me leave you with this famous quote, hopefully your hypocritical self catches the drift:

Joeadamu86: What do you expect from someone who is not democratically inclined?the military mentality is still flowing in his blood,what Buhari did is like a son calling his father a bad man,no matter how worst your country is still your country.
I don't understand wat is wrong with all of you on this thread.
And what has Buhari said that is wrong. And what should he hide. If ur father was a womaniser and wife beater; does not pay ur school fees even though he has money but would prefer to give it hide it for his personal use. Will you still defend that father in public? Never. In fact wat will you say in defence (people will just laff at you as a clown)
Now comming outa the analogy; to solve a problem you hv to do 2 things
1) You have to first of all identify the problem (which he did call it washing dirty linen outside or not) and
2) Proffer a solution (Which he also did)
Never let sentiments overule ur judgement.
Thiose that go out there to paint a good pix of nija and are still part of nija's problem; milking us dry like Okupe and Maku are the real unpatriotic entities.
Let TRUTH prevail
mostly in the public glare. Haba

Well, these gov't lackeys think its wrong to air our ills. I see nothing wrong, I see a lot wrong with people keen enough to support a horrendously corrupt ruling class. Imagine 18,000 gov't folks feeding on 25% of national budget. Ain't the rest of us fools?

Buhari should go and sleep. He went their to talk trash but didn't give just 1 solution to the problems he mentioned.

No US or UK citizen/politician will say something bad about his country even when things are bad.

Buhari killed his career when he ended civilian rule for military rule and he has not yet changed, he is just a wolf in sheeps clothing and a more bitter human being than before.

Tell me anything good about this nation.
No light
No water
No roads
No security
No welfare
No adequate healthcare
No good public transport.
No nightlife
No good tertiary education
No good government services
No good electoral process

High infant mortality
High level of corruption
High level of extra judicial killing
High number of touts on roads
High level environmental pollution
High cost of housing
High number of abuse cases

People still pee on road sides
People still believe in witchcraft
People worship men as god

Buhari has said nothing but the truth here. I am disgusted that there are still fetid disgusting reasoning human beings in Nigeria. Are you not tired of a system that does not work? Are you not tired of doing 'yes-sir', 'yes-ma', to a bunch of corrupt few who continue to truncate your future as well as that of your un-born generation?

Buhari honestly spoke the truth. He spoke about poverty. Economic empowerment to the nation. A bunch of greedy Nigerians continue to accrue the wealth of Nigerians to themselves. I am saddened when I see a lot of my colleagues jobless and roaming the streets. I am saddened that people still in darkness. Your President went on CNN and OPENLY LIED about the state of affairs in Nigeria! There is nothing more disgraceful than a president lying against its own citizen in the international arena.

Buhari not only spoke excellently about the ills of the nation in the democratic dispensation, he equally noted and mentioned the role International Observers played in stamping gross madness into our various past elections. Keeping quiet to the injustices and irregularities observed under past elections. Nothing can be more honest and plain other than what Buhari has stated.

To criticize Buhari for stating the obvious truth; implies, you are an ENEMY of the truth and an ENEMY OF A PROGRESSIVE NIGERIA.

He proffered a lot of solution. Probably you didn't want to read that.
He said, " generate power, encourage agriculture, build industries, employ the youths, provide small credit to sme's...."

The chap did not argue if he was telling the truth or not... You can as well pick up a mega phone and announce on your house street that ur mum has a boil under her left breast or that you are very sure that your dad has an extramarital affair....just an instance pls,am not insulting u. Yes we know it's the truth and they know what is happening, so what's the point in further buttressing it before the British? What do you seek to achieve by that?

Then it is better to hide the fact that your mother has a boil under her left breast for the sickness to cure itself right? whether he exposed the secret or not the fact remains that hiding the truth will do no one any good. I am not Gen M. Buhari's supporter but a supporter of truth.

What you guys want is all the lies the government is feeding the whole world with everyday while things are getting worse.A problem shared is a problem solved. Let the whole world hear the real problems of Nigeria. I am happy that most , if not all of you agreed that he exposed the truth and not lies.

We shall know the truth, speak the truth, because it only truth that can set us and the nation free. Gen M.Buhari God bless you. for exposing the truth.

Where is IBB today to be reckoned with Nigeria or Nigerians? Nigeria needs an effective leader. A leader that demonstrates that corruption is a bad way of life. An exemplary leader.

You have a dirty mouth, most likely stained by dirty hands. You reek of corruption and you are proud of this corrupt entity called Nigeria. I really pity your un-born generation if an immediate solution is not found to your rancid way of thinking and arrogantly exuding it on the internet. Seek help while it is near you!

Just yesterday A Ghanian twitted about Niageria that "a common Nigerian is always in an abject poverty that we are not good to be befriend to them" tell me what is new to the World about Nigeria? 2weeks ago Bill Clinton said the same thing while he was passing speech on EKO atlantic of FASHOLA,that Nigeria viruses are Bad leaders and Corruptions,he stated this on our soil so what is new about what Buhari has uttered?
