I strongly disagree. With you.Why didn't Buhari fix Nigerias problem when he was Millitary Head of state? Buhari has nothing to offer us except revenge and witchhaunting.He and his generation can never rule katsina state anymore,talkless of Nigeria. Aboki
it is because of this same buhari and his co coupist ibb and abacha that 80% of our common wealth is in the hands of the north.is it not a state that his party is in power that could not provide common water for a state run school. He should. Use the state as a model of how he is going to tranform nigeria.buhari should start by telling the CPC governor to cut down on his own aides and give him his idea on how to turn that state around we all knw how poorly governed the only state that his party governing. And we also know how many aides the said governor has

eldoradoxx: Its been always my firm believe that our country only deserves the respect to the level her own citizens give to her whether home or abroad. But what do we have here? The most disillusioned criticis who in a bid to run down there government also run down their country and her people. The world does not respect us not because we are the most corrupt, under developed, violent and dsyfunctional country and people in the world, they disrepect us because we do give them the right words to use to talk down our country, we feed them with gud vocabularies to describe us as a failed nation, with failed people, rudderless, directionless, visionless, hopeless nation heading to status of a pariah nation. When men like Buhari goes to UK to run down our system in fron of the whole world what do u expect a man from Mali, Niger, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, etc to see of us? Are elections perfect even in America? A visiting american envoy said there is more official corruption in America, the only difference is that American justice system is so strong and faster than Nigeria that in a year it jails about 300 corrupt govt/ public servants. The crime in Nigeria a year is not up to what they record in USA a month. The only difference is capacity of the security system to get u at all times and media packaging. An American or British or indeed all people from civilised world including Ghana would never run down his country down anywhere. He may condemn the system and govt policies, but forbids attacking his country. Buhari is a man that says he is anointed to govern us, but his words at all times do not show that he possesses the maturity and intelligence to deal with issues. He made fine speech but at whose detriment? At the detriment of every nigerian who wud be considered a failure!

1. Nigeria is already a failed state. He who is down needs no fear of falling down again.

2. Your PDP led government already considers you a failure. This is why they are not bothered to providing you good water, good roads, affordable and steady electricity, good and world standard hospital services, good security.

Recently, the wife of your president was away for weeks non-stop in Germany for health related issues. Recently, a commissioner of police for another state was murdered in his own hometown. Do you feel safe as a Nigerian living in Nigeria? Can you enjoy a single day without seeing people agonizing in poverty all around you?
Please get enlightened. Gone are the days of fanciful coloring to the problems that plague our nation. Starting from bad example of leaders. Even OBJ acknowledged this as a fact.

You are a failure if you do not acknowledge that Buhari stated the truth, just as it is.

Because criminals you admire/worship didn't allow him, with the help of the west, IBB overthrew his government. your hatred for the man is really getting on you, you're aging faster than your age, you need to stop the hate before the hate stops you.

Where there railways working? Which schools did he supply with materials? Why did almajiris still litter the streets and were not part of the so called education revolution ?

Buhari was part of the coup that truncated the second republic. I am old enough to remember the 2nd republic for those young ones here let me tell what life was like in the 'bad' second republic that Buhari and his army brothers overthrew.

A return ticket to the UK cost less than N1000

A brand new 504 SR cost N8000.

A bottle of coke cost 30K

Our universities were among the best in Africa and there were no private ones.

Petrol cost less than 50 K per litre

I could go on but I think you get the point. Before Buhari takes up the moral high ground and tries to cast himself as God and everybody else as a sinner he should say SORRY to Nigerians for his act of Treason on Jan 1st 1984. We are all still paying the price for that til this day.

[size=18pt]Return ticket to UK was less than N600.
New Benz car 180 was N8, 000.

But we were squandering our riches and "Nigeria: A Squandering of Riches" became a documentary was produced by the BBC and NTA and narrated by Onyeka Onwenu.

The book you read doesn’t guarantee your literate, logical reasoning and a clue about Nigeria problems with solution.
Go and check your record concerning sectors to which Buhari had opportunity to spearhead.
He was a president of this dilapidated nation. He knows what went wrong.
He once head PTDF and his profound performance is there to verify.
You see! Until you recognize that the problem bedevils us as a country is corruption, hence a death penalty to curb.
A situation where corruptions is endorsed and legalize negates dividends of democracy and right of people to basic infrastructure which is primary objective of responsible govt.
If Buhari is jinxing the world, promulgating that Nigeria is in the hand of devils and you whom directly face the heat could not figures out why and secret behind Buhari's action, you ought to be living in the forest where you belong.WELL SAID MY BROTHER!
This man has everything at his disposal to become rich. Do you know as PTDF chairman, with the uncheck level of corruption, he can approved oil block to himself and friends? He chooses not to because gr8 Nigeria is superior in his mind.
Is only Buhari can point accusing finger, not OBJ, IBB or any ex-president including the serving one in Nigeria. Youth are denied job and even when you are eventually lucky to be call for interview, you can’t defend your qualification.
Tell me; who will employ unproductive graduate into his firm? Majority of these companies owns by those who subject you to available choice of yours. Think about it.

28. May I, Mr. Chairman, conclude this presentation by referring to the distribution of income in Nigeria today? No better illustration of the huge income disparity can be quoted than the statement of Malam Adamu Fika, Chairman of the Committee set up by Government to review the Nigerian public service. In the course of presentation of his Report, 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. A wholesale look at public expenses vis-à-vis the real need of the country has become urgent.


I weep for Nigeria. We are going no where if we continue like this.

It is only a fool that does same thing in same way and expects a different result.

Weather the coup was bloodless or not is besides the point. The fact of the matter is that the it fails the simple Regan/Clinton test which is 'Are you better of today than you were then?' That is all it's about. It was via that coup that such wonderful characters as Tanko Ayuba, Sani Abacha, David Mark and of course the godfather himself Babangida gained significant positions in the nations affairs. How can anybody say that was an attempt to repair the nation? I beg open your eyes people. The truth of the matter is that the the overthrow of the second republic was THE WORSE THING to have happened in the last 30 years. We have not come close to regaining the living standards that we had then. Buhari was part and parcel of that, whatever his intentions, he must take part of the blame. Did he not know the character of his chief of Army staff Babangida?

The issue is that u people only see failure of leadership from PDP perspective only. The entire South West is now in opposition hand, have they performed wonders? Has poverty been completely eradicated? Do they ve the best schools now, best hospitals, best road networks, best Local Council elections that are not rigged? Has corruption been eradicated from these states? What difference exists between opposition governed states and PDP governed states in Nigeria?

I don't live in Nigeria. I am from the South-West. The last experience I had from the South West was under the PDP administration. I am currently and independently reviewing the works which some of the State governments are doing under the new ACN administration. I just finished documenting that of Lagos State and I can say, I am impressed. Ogun State is undergoing massive urban renewal. Demolition of obsolete structures, expansion of roads, etc. I was truly glad that now you cannot just park your car anyhow in some part of the State without getting a parking ticket on your car. This has created employment for some.

I am heading to Ekiti next to review what they are doing there. But the honest truth is that, without a credible and intelligent corrupt free leader at the center, it would seem that any effort being undertaken at state or local level is a sheer waste of time.

Are trying to say PDP, the party has ruled Nigeria since 1999, making it now 14 years, is not a failure?

If there was doubt before that you are PDP goon, there should be no doubt anymore.

How else do you classify failure if PDP is not a failure? PDP has been promising Nigerians efficient power supply since 1999 and here we are in 2013, the situation is even worse off.

That is just one example. That are hundreds.

And anyone that can open his mouth and say PDP is not a problem to Nigeria is first class upper SYCOPHANT.

And sycophants are usually well renumerated for their sycophancy because it does not come naturally....

.....that is because, sycophants act against everything they know to be true, even their own conscience.
