So GeJ was overhauling for good six years and you call President Buhari baba go slow.

PassingShot nice one
PMB is enroute to be Nigeria's best president Ever

Lordave:
What are you saying? GEJ should have released the names of looters or he should have published the results of investigation after each phase?

This is what you don't understand! GEJ was trying his best to put right the wrongs of his predecessors. Our judicial system, historically is one of the slowest if not the slowest in the world, we only get quick judgement under dictatorship, he was doing massive reform of the judiciary and every unbiased observer would agree that the judiciary cannot become as effective as needed at that same time when reforms are ongoing.


Buhari is living by GEJ's ideas and effort, he hasn't done any reasonable thing different if not for trying to mix dictatorial and democratic attributes to achieve a bias aim which in fact, is not in anyway reasonable.


Anyway, let's see how many people Buhari prosecutes before we kick him out Aso Rock.

Brace yourself! This is not for the lazy ones and the mediocre.

Having been sworn in as president and vice president on May 29th, 2015, the regime of PMB/VPYO is close to its 100 days mark.
Whereas there are those who have deliberately chosen to look at the cup half-empty; blaming the government for anything and everything and expecting Buhar/Osinbajo to fix the sixteen years rot created by PDP in 100 days, the patriotic citizens see the glass half-full and understand that it is very easy to destroy than to repair/build.

In fact, many Nigerians now believe that the new regime has surpassed GEJ in some areas of governance. It is on this note I have decided to take us through some of what the present administration has achieved in restoring the country’s lost sanity, pride and hope in the 100 days they’ve been in charge.

RESTORATION OF NIGERIA’S PRIDE
Without any iota of doubt, Nigeria’s image was battered during the last regime of GEJ to the extent that the country became a laughing stock of many other nations including our African neighbors. Nigeria was mocked by practically all notable countries in Africa then including South Africa, Kenya and even Benin Republic. What of the derision we suffered in the hands of Western countries as a result of a directionless administration!
One of such battering under Jonathan was when a world’s foremost Ghanaian economist, Prof. George Ayittey described our then president as “a joke” and concluded that “Nigeria deserves a better leader”.

Luckily for Nigeria and her citizens, the coming of Buhari has put an effective halt to being treated with disdain by other countries as a result of the type of president we had. President Buhari has restored some lost dignity and pride back into our country. To buttress this fact, one just has to remember that the president was invited to the G7 meeting in Germany even before he was sworn in as president. The Nigerian president was also a guest of President Obama on the latter’s invitation.

Writing on Buhari’s recent visit to the US, Charles Anyim; an accomplished Nigerian Journalist in USA who was a guest of the US Chamber of Commerce and the Corporate Council for Africa during PMB’s visit confessed that he and many other Nigerians who were indifferent to Buhari presidency were highly impressed by the president’s showing as reported here https://www.nairaland.com/2508416/buharis-us-visit-master-stroke#up and here http://blogs.premiumtimesng.com/?p=168370

The writer summed up by saying ““Given the foregoing, my verdict is that Buhari’s US visit was a master stroke in image-making especially at a time when Nigeria is still reeling from the aftershock of a long list of diplomatic snafus by the immediate past administration of Goodluck Jonathan”.

Another clear evidence of restoring the country’s lost glory is the recent invitation extended to the president to attend the next World Leaders Meeting in New York on September 27 & 28, 2015. During Jonathan’s era, Nigeria was constantly ignored and bypassed as if we were Rwanda or Somalia.

Economic and Other Gains from the President’s US Visit
Apart from the image laundering benefit of the president’s visits to the US and G7, there are also economic benefits that came with them. The benefits include “the proposed $2.1 billion fund from the World Bank for the re-development of the northeast battered by Boko Haram; $5 billion from US investors in Nigeria’s agriculture sector; $1.5 billion investment in the Nigerian health sector; and another $5 billion investment from the U.S. in our country’s power sector” as reported here http://www.ngrguardiannews.com/2015/08/presidency-lists-the-gains-of-buharis-us-visit/

To further buttress the economic benefits of the president’s visit, it was reported few days after his return from the US trip that American investors have started making inquiries about Nigeria’s automotive industry as reported here https://www.naij.com/511538-buharis-visit-us-already-paying-off-greatly-read-americans-want.html

Following the president’s US trip, it has also been reported that the Americans have started the process of selling to Nigeria, weapons which were denied the country during GEJ’s regime https://www.thecable.ng/us-ready-lift-arms-embargo-nigeria and http://www.punchng.com/news/us-sending-arms-to-nigeria-report/


WAR ON INSURGENCY
Despite GEJ spending billions of dollars on Defense Budget (N348bn in 2011, N292bn in 2012, N1.055tn in 2013 and N968bn in 2014 http://www.nigerianobservernews.com/2015/01/11/budget-nigerian-ministry-defence-need-accountability/#sthash.dez4y5U5.dpbs.), the Nigeria’s Military remains very poorly equipped and it’s one of the reasons Boko Haram could not be easily defeated.

When president Buhari lamented that the “Nigerian Airforce is virtually non-existent”, many wailers condemned and rubbished his assertion. However, the president has since been vindicated by GEJ’s Chief of Defense Staff Alex Badeh when he said: “If I go down memory lane, I think the last time any piece of equipment was bought for the Nigerian army was in 2006 and how many were they? They were few; inadequate equipment, obsolete equipment. In fact we are the ones that are flying the oldest fighter aeroplanes in the whole world. Alpha jets we bought them in 1981. That is the backbone of our operations in the Northeast". http://www.nigerianeye.com/2015/08/video-last-time-weapons-were-bought-for.html

The unfortunate thing here is that it was this same Alex Badeh that announced that Nigeria took delivery of some fighter jets in February 2015 as reported here http://www.punchng.com/news/military-takes-delivery-of-two-jets-loaded-with-weapons/ So, Nigerians were obviously deceived by GEJ and his cohorts then.

Since coming of PMB, the following efforts have reduced activities of Boko Haram to suicide bombings of soft targets which is clearly a departure from daring confrontations of the sect with the Nigerian Army during GEJ.

• Relocation of the Command and Control Center of the NA to the heart of the insurgency in Maiduguri.
• Appointment of new clearly capable, professional and result-oriented Service Chiefs to replace the political, big belly and lazy millionaires that GEJ used. The new Service Chiefs have also been given clear target to end the insurgency before the end of this year.
• Establishment of multinational joint military task force (MNJMTF) consisting of Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger has been established with the sole aim of securing and stabilizing all the areas affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.

There are enough signs to suggest that Nigeria and her neighbors are gaining the upper hand in the war of insurgency against Boko Haram. To lend credence to the success in this regard, the Chadian president recently announced that efforts to combat Boko Haram jihadists had succeeded in "decapitating" the group and would be wrapped up "by the end of the year" as reported here http://news.yahoo.com/boko-haram-decapitated-chadian-leader-000405864.html

The president’s efforts have also received commendation from the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon when he said that his invitation of Buhari to the World Leader Summit was in recognition of the political will demonstrated by him in combating terror in Nigeria and dealing with environmental issues. http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-accepts-bans-invitation-to-world-leaders-meeting/ https://www.nairaland.com/2549823/buhari-accepts-bans-invitation-world

@PassingShot, you are truly a warrior and i sincerely commend ur courage, patience and respect for other peoples view even in replying an obvious insult to your person you still reply with decorum. keep it up bro. its really not easy - in fact the duty of selling this government to the masses is really becoming more difficult than the election campaign. me thinks APC and Buhari needs to change the team working on their media and publicity - they can still use those guys that run the campaign project to correct things fast before Buhari end up loosing mass appeal in less than 5 months in office despite his positive achievements.

As you may have noticed, you are practically the only major strong voice selling him to the masses on NL now all because his bigotry has punctured a very big hole in the psych of many of us who are not from the north that stood by him - APC really need to put a reign on PMB's bigotry before it ruins his positive efforts. The TANoid are having a field day today bc of Buhari's appointment blunders. The table can still be turned in his favour thru the next phase of appointments - he should appoint his ministers fast, cause he do really need them - especially now.


MAY GOD GIVE HIM THE WISDOM TO PILOT THIS GREAT BUT HARD TO PLEASE NATION.

Lordave:
I'm holding Buhari by his words!

GEJ, for once, circumstance notwithstanding, did not ever boast about making the Naira equal to dollar or that he'd make oil price stable unlike Buhari that opened his amoebic mouth to make promises he can never achieve even in his Daura farm.

I'm not demanding immediate results from Buhari, I'm only trying to scupper your lies and ignominious propaganda so that you and your fellows don't succeed in hoodwinking more Nigerians to believing Buhari is archangel Michael.

PassingShot:

You're just beating about the bush. The extract I gave you represents what was stolen in NNPC alone under GEJ. It's not of another administration.

So, try to live beyond GEJ's loss. He is history. Buhari on the other hand has shown to have the capacity and ability to take tough decisions. And that's a major area GEJ was non-existent.

nwaanambra1:


Saints who can work with Buhari can only be found in the North - hence 80% appointments made so far is from the North, 15% from the south-west, 5% from south-south and 0% from the south-east. go figure.

Sincere9gerian:
For many other Nigerians, it's been 100 wasted days. Let's examine the sectors one after the other:

1. Fight against corruption. It's been a 100 days of fighting corruption on the pages of newspapers, no policy, no programmes and no structural institutional changes.

2. Promised public asset declaration. Buhari has failed to declare his assets publicly as promised. For a govt that is sincere on fighting corruption, this should have been a quick win. What does Buhari, a so called clean man of integrity, have to hide? If Buhari wants to be taken seriously on his fight against corruption, then he must declare his assets publicly because he that comes to equity, must come with clean hand.

3. Govt appointments. Going by the 35 appointments made so far, the Buhari govt has turned out to be the most divisive, vindictive and tribalistic ever. We're seeing the worst form of nepotism. The current national debate alone on the issue of federal appointments shows that it has never been this bad.

4. Power sector. The president said in his inaugural speech that "studies are underway to identify the quickest way to bring power to Nigerians". It seems the study is not yet over because so far, no plans, no programmes and no projects for the power sector. The power sector is on autopilot mode from what was done in the last administration.

5. Oil sector. Besides the change in leadership of NNPC, nothing more has happened in the oil sector. No projects, no policy and no programmes

6. 100 days in office and more the 5 months after being elected, still no cabinet in place. All the MDAs are on autopilot mode

7. Most federal projects are stalled. Work has stopped on Lagos-Ibadan road, Second Niger bridge and many other federal roads

8. The economy is on standstill, no finance minister, no economic policy and no direction

Na lie.

It earned me

*leadership
*competency

Your Drunken Master of Otuoke, could not achieve 1/3rd of that in 6years. He was indeed Jonathan.

MixedMan:
What's this Anumanu Saying? I spent Close to 50mins reading this Waste from a confirm South WASTErner and I couldn't even figure out a tangible point you made.. Which Restructuring of NNPC? Are You Mad Op??

Buhari said in his own words " why shold jonathan be asking for neighbouuring countrys help in fighting Boko haram, that he's a general,he don't need to form any alliance with any country to fight boko haram,all what he will do is mobilise the Nigerian army and within few weeks boko haram is over"

The same buhari said the nations account was empty and within 2weeks he was inaugrated he approved over 40billion to travel, ..

When Will you APC supporters start seeing things from the right angle.. You guys claim you are your brothers keeper yet you betray yourselves.. A typical example is Tinubu and fashola.. *spits*

*leadership...........you're joking, right? The clown can't even formulate basic policies

*competency......tell that to the Economy

*detribalised and unclannish president...you did see the recent appointments, right? Yet you call him detribalised?!

*anti-corruption....the joke of the year. "I will I will". All talk, ZERO ACTION/MOTION.

*defeat of terrorists....Tell that to the IDPs in Borno and Yobe. You do know there was an attack yesterday (68 dead), right?

* improving electricity....will you stop claiming GEJ's feats? It's pathetic. Body language don't do jackshyte

*working refineries....again, GEJ's feat. This is getting to pathetic. Clear sign of desperation.

* increasing national reserve...I'll give him that....even if it meant starving legitimate businesses of much needed FX for trade, thus stagnating business operations in the country. No wonder investors are now dumping Nigeria for Ethiopia.

dekdek:


First and foremost, neither Buhari nor anyone told u lot that he was looking for saints to work with, only TANoids are talking rubbish, why speak the same shameful language with them? Secondly, why ur bigotry premature condemnation when u know that far more appointments are yet to be made when compared to the one made. What gives u the impression that the next round of appointments wont be more southerners than northerners? if it does, will u be man enough to swallow ur pride and apologise to the General for accusing him falsely? Thirdly, have u compared Jonah-daft appointees of these offices and compare with that of Buharis's? we never had issues with Jonah-daft screwed appoitments to these offices to favour the south, why do we to start shouting now if it now favours the north this time around? Besides the statistics u gave is not totally true.

wrong! i have very serious issues with everything jona-daft that was why i vigorously campaigned and donated immensely for change! to see GMB almost toeing the same line of tribalism and bigotry is not funny at all. when we complain over GMB, we do so to make sure he doesn't make the same mistakes GEJ and PDP made. we owe him the obligation to point out his wrong moves whenever he made any so as to avoid future repeat. our condemnation of his last appointments will propel him to get it right the next time.
