Musiwax, You really did well in writing a counter claim against Barcanista's observation. I must commend you for that...yes, you wrote something! However, this something you wrote was a wasted effort as instead of objectively countering a claim, it made mockery of yours. Why? The most important thing was that in Obama's first term, nominations were made before he was sworn in. Can you say that for Mr. Buhari's? In as much as we want the best for Nigeria, we should be objective in our analysis. 4 Likes 1 Share |

How can any one explain not naming a single member of the cabinet in 53 days. Agreed Obama didn't have a full cabinet but key departments where filled within few days of his inauguration in 2009. If in 53 days PMB can not name the Secretary to the Government of the Federation it shows he is not prepared for the task ahead and lack control of his government. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bitterleafsoup:I find you rather culpable for having the time to waste bandying words with the myopic, narrow-minded, incorrigible and egregious horde of fawning APC and Buhari supporters. I find the whole thing just laughable. The degree with which these people are trying in futility to defend a man who has demonstrably showed that he is patently giddy and disoriented on the soapbox beats my wildest imagination. There indeed was a country... 3 Likes |

President Buhari Was Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong on Obama's Cabinet Please let me give you the picture that makes President Buhari the slowest slowest snail. Please we are retro-grassing steadily.......I strongly agree with ''Barcanista'' and his views This Reply is for; ''musiwax'' The ancillary questions we must then ask, in interrogating this defence, are Conservative estimates conclude that more than 20% of the world's black population lives in Nigeria. President Obama on assumption; 3,300: Approximate number of presidentially appointed jobs Obama will have had to fill, from Defense Secretary to NASA administrator Solomon choose 3,600 men to oversee. (2 Chron 2:2) Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them. All your aforementioned names of late-comers into Obama administration were a pot of soup cooked with lies. Gary Locke- Secretary of Commerce, Kathleen Sebelius & the others had cases before senate that singled them out for lateness into the Cabinet. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius was confirmed late because first choice candidate, Tom Daschle, withdrew. Obama nominated his core team days after winning election. Obama even had the key people confirmed by senate before his inauguration. President Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Eric H. Holder Jr. on December 1, 2008. Eric Holder was confirmed on Feb 2, 2009 as the Attorney General. Hillary Clinton was confirmed on January 15,2009 as the Secretary of State. The first inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States took place on Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Timothy Geithner; Treasury Secretary The ancillary story is Timothy Geithner went to Obama on his 3rd day in office and told him there were 6 bombs that had been triggered and one of the bombs (Lehman Brothers) had already detonated and surgical operation on-going to have the remainder 5 de-armed. Lehman Brothers collapse was the ground-zero of the 2009 Economic Crisis worse than the Great Depression in 1929. Florida as a state was the ground-zero (more people lost their homes in Florida than elsewhere) Economic gurus like Larry Sommers who had served in the Clinton Administration and a former President of Harvard University were key actors. Nyerere of Tanzania was a painfully honest man. Like Buhari, he led a transparent government and did not rob the state, or fraudulently accumulate personal wealth. Also like Buhari, after he left office, Nyerere ended up in one tiny dilapidated house as further proof of his honesty as a public servant. The other truth is that Nyerere’s personal honesty does not remove the fact that he failed to take advantage of what civilisation offered by way of improved governance practices and economic leadership. Yes, he left office an honest man, but he also left a nation severely underdeveloped because he applied a template that would be ideal for a small community of the close-kindred type to a nations-state and ended up with rather depressing results. As I write, Tanzania is yet to recover from Julius Nyerere’s personal goodness and honesty. My respect for the person of President Buhari is not diminished by whatever defects of character anyone may attribute to him. We all have our shortcomings. What will not happen is that people will, out of respect for his person, endorse him for official responsibilities that some of his good personal qualities may not serve very well. As a citizen, it is my responsibility to put the narrative that we are slowly sluggishly accepting the excuse that our President is not slow As far as i can see and as far as i can say on President Buhari's mode of operation.........this is snail moving. The snail mates only once in its entire life Some desert snails have been known to sleep for three to four years The fastest-moving land snail, the common garden snail, has a speed of 0.0313 mph 32nd-largest country and the 7th most populous country in the world: Nigeria. It is comparable in size to Venezuela, and is about twice the size of California. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, the seventh most populous country in the world, and the most populous country in the world in which the majority of the population is black. Conservative estimates conclude that more than 20% of the world's black population lives in Nigeria. As I write, Tanzania is yet to recover from Julius Nyerere’s personal goodness and honesty.

lond07:Since you people love being disingenuous, just tell us what Buhari has accomplished after over 50 days in power. Don't tell us about improvement in power supply because Buhari has not provided 1 kilowatts of power since we all know that the improvement is attributable to Jonathan's strides before leaving office. Let us know what Buhari has accomplished in practical terms apart from going to America to get a tutorial from Obama on how to run his shop (Nigeria). 2 Likes 1 Share |

Personally, I don't know what the noise is all about. CHANGE is usually a departure from the NORM. The norm is to have state governors send a list to the President, who with or without scrutiny, forwards the list to the Senate. At the Senate most nominees are asked to take a bow and go to enjoy their new found status as Ministers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. No questions. No real screening. Just bow and go to loot your own share of the national booty. Buhari has decided in line with his party slogan to have a change of approach. Whether this approach will work or not is left to be seen. But there is nothing wrong with doing things differently. |

maestroferddi: Hhm, GEJ our hero! Imagine playing a soccer game of 90 minutes, and after your opponents have scored like 10 goals you suddenly realize with 5 minutes left on the clock that you are interested in winning. So, you try to score a couple of goals before the final whistle. Alas, the GAME IS OVER! All everyone can remember is that you lost the game, not the last minute goals you scored in a bid to save face. Imagine Villas Boas laying claim to Chelsea's Champions League title. Sorry bro, all we can remember is Di Matteo lifting the trophy. You dig? |

It is so sad that some crude people would defend the Daura President. It is so bad. A govt without a secretary for two months? What is there to defend? Nothing is working as we speak. Is that how US is? The foolish ones are encouraging a dictatorship in Nigeria. I just wondered the level of decay |

Secretary of Commerce You should be ashamed of yourself for insisting on falsehood like a child who has no respect for his elders. She was nominated more than 3months after Obama's inauguration yet you claim all were nominated before 30days in office. Just like the op's post has stated, the list continues but obviously you are too blinded by hate. |

Pritkzer came on board during 2nd term and a Secretary and her predecessor was still running the dept until she was confirmed. You obviously don't know the diff btw nomination &confirmation. We are talking about first time in 2009 and you are talking about 2nd term in 2013.. I blame our education for not teaching folks like u common sense and Logic |

adanny01:What an arrogant display of sophisticated idiocy. You lack common sense to discern that 2009 is not 2013; and permanent secs aren't the same as ministers.. Why do Brits have perm secs and minsters? Why did previous admins have perm secs and ministers instead of perm secs alone? We are at war and perm secs can't articulate how to plan and execute military strategies against BH. |

adanny01:This is a race and score will be taken month.. It's pure lack of vision when he campaigned to be president for 12yrs and doesn't have a blueprint on how to run the country. There is no precedent for this before and it's not going well. There was no technocrat on his team in his last visit to the U.S.. Obama's team was taking notes with pen and notepad while GMB's team had no pen.. This govt man is another unserious one!! |
