Present State Of Nigeria:not Buhari's Fault by harveyspec: 5:54am On Mar 10, 2016 |
Only those that are technically inclined will understand the analogy. in wiring a house, there are color codes that are followed. Red is for live, black is neutral & yellow or green is earth, imagine an electrician comes to your house & mixes all the color up, in room 1, black becomes live, in the sitting room green becomes neutral etc hope you get the picture This electrician does this without coming up with a drawing to show this mixed up arrangement. then there is surge & things are blown, a new electrician is called upon to do repairs. Since there are no new drawings & he has found out that the wiring isn't the norm, he had to take time to trace every single wire to ascertain where it's coming from & it's polarity. Meanwhile the landlord is growing impatient & barking that there is no light & that the new electrician boasted that its just a bungalow & he will rectify it in 1day. (The new electrician never knew the mess he was getting into, not until he climbed the ceiling) Nigeria is the house the original electrician is our past government The new electrician is buhari The landlord are Nigerians Nigerians should accept the fact that things are going to get worse before getting better & this is the "worse phase" our immediate succor will be the rise in the price of crude oil!! There is nothing Buhari will do about each sector that will not take years to fruition The price of gas isn't affected, it will take years for an LNG plant to be built, Nigeria only has one LNG export terminal( our past government couldn't build more, it was only on paper, brass LNG has been on paper for more than 10yrs, yet nothing meaningful has been achieved) It will take years for our steel complex to be revived! look at the mess/politics/bureaucracy dsc & ajaokuta is involved in even if you diversify into agriculture, won't it take years for the products to be ready for harvest & export Our mining sector is being raped & plundered by Chinese, Pakistanis & co in collaboration with some state governors(this has been going on for years), this will also take time to sanitize & come up with a working model We can only hope that buhari will clean up some of these things(cos he can't clean all) & put systems & structure in place that will help our children's(the future) but for us, we have to weather the storm(our shelter will only be the rise of crude oil price & reduced corruption) 2 Likes |

Thanks for the speech. Government is a continuum If you decide to become President in next election you are deciding to take blame for what all past presidents did or fail to do. However PMB is doing his best especially against corruption. Never would I ever thought that Generals and Judges would be arrested in a democracy here 2 Likes 1 Share |

One thing is to boast that u can get it done in a period of time but it is a different and rotten kettle of fish when u are offered d contract, u get there and show no competence whatsoever. You get in there and arbitrarily decide to dump or shirk your proposal which u used to cinch d deal or contract in the first instance. The landlord complains and all u can do is whine about how the former electrician did a shoddy job and then u start enumerating the problems. Duh! He knew already and that's why u came in! In fact with the way u are going, he will tell u that despite the bungled job done, he could still function almost optimally but now u have taken everything down without an idea of how to fix things! What electrician who knows his onions goes to bid for such contract without conducting due diligence and knowing what the job entails? What was his proposal based on in the first place? What self respecting electrician wins a contract as big as wiring a massive estate such as Nigeria and resumes alone, tinkering with all and sundry for about six months especially when it is clear in the company profile that the CEO has no expertise in the matter but his proposal was to hire the best hands for each area of specialisation? How do u expect the landlord to feel after having his patience stretched thin only to see the workmen assembled and he realises he has engaged these same people before and they contributed to destroying the wires in the first place. Nigerians have been long deprived and knuckled under due to growing use of brute force to quell dissenting voices from the military era. With all due respect, the immediate past government tried to water down such approach and this allowed d people to see that even of all wasn't well, efforts were being made and most importantly, they could air their displeasure and grievances without fear. Today, that tyrannical era is coming back and it gives people cause to worry. The long suffering of the occupants of this geographical space is one that naturally engenders really high and seemingly unrealistic hopes especially when one comes with so many lofty goals and ideas to whet their appetites. Especially when u create the appearance of a drastic departure from what was obtainable. Now all we see is hot air in spates of arrest without substance or an outright denial of promises made. OP, expectations are high, Nigerians are impatient but they are not fools. They know when something is being done and when it's all motion and no movement or retrogressive movement like we have now. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

Key Fault is our past Government? Ova, PMB also part of our past leaders. And is there any roadmap clearly stated by new Government to reverse the trend? Not even a new fiscal policy has evolved. No new drive to reduce glaring unemployment staring us everyday in the face. I pray PMB suceeds. But nothing really goes to show we await a change in the mess our leaders have placed us in 1 Like |

bonechamberlain: Oga, the electrician is sweating his ass off inside the ceiling, he is working but you don't know yet cos light hasn't come Mind you, in tracing those wires, some mistakes will be made, some will be mixed up, some will be mistakenly cut & some will need to be totally retracted with a fresh pulled. It's a long process my brother |

kenny987: I get you, I'm pro buhari, I too get impatient sometimes & lash out At a point his traveling became too much for my liking & I have equally faulted some other things too buhari is very much aware that this is democracy & that the world is watching, so freedom of speech is guaranteed. I think people are airing their view without fear eg fayose, Ffk, twitter rants, editorial pics etc All that is happening now appears to be filled with uncertainty & no clear cut direction but I believe at the end of the day, Nigerians will see the positive fruits & come to understand all of it Remember karate kid!! This might be his style of governance. Another that is greatly amiss is information management, they suck at it. So many statements that are flying around that are being attributed to him wasn't actually made by him & he is not bothered about correcting them then the various agencies too, today will read one thing, another day a contradicting story, all that isn't helping matters, it paints a picture of cluelessness |

To imagine that Buhari begged and shed tears for this job for 12 years while telling US to fix Nigeria is not rocket science! What corrupt politician has been successfully prosecuted? How is Buhari body language in fixing things? Zero perhaps? |
Re: Present State Of Nigeria:not Buhari's Fault by harveyspec: 6:37am On Mar 10, 2016 |
emerged01: Exactly, it's a collective effort If those politician who embezzled finds were thinking about the future of the country , will they have embezzled funds Imagine, people are shouting with hunt, witch hunt just because the accused is from a particular tribe or party, does it matter? The question ought to be did they do it? Are they guilty? We all go abroad & praise their system that it works, but we come here & make it a cesspit & expect the government to clean it up for us "Na niaja we dey, do am nothing go happen" |

SleekAboki: I don't get you folks !! Is buhari judiciary? Is he the judge? Is he the court? The judiciary is a seperate arm of the government & certain cases are already there. You folks who keep shouting no single prosecution should channel that to the Chief Justice of the federation. Even in developed nations, cases take time diezani case has come up in British court since last year with 2 or so unnamed individuals, have you heard that their trial has begun? Was ibori trial 1 months? Cry to the NBA, the NJC, etc |

Re: Present State Of Nigeria:not Buhari's Fault by Validated: 6:56am On Mar 10, 2016 |
Op is as clueless as the electrician who would boast to the landlord that he has the miracle of solving his house problem. Only for the landlord to award the contract to him and all he does is complain and looking for who to blame. OP, the landlord knew about the problem of the house. The new electrician also knew about the problem? Question for you is why sack the first if the last would be complaining without solutions? The new one boasted to turn the house to "Utopian State", rather has recreated a similitude of Hell Fire. My solution to the house owner is to quickly sack the new electrician as he is worse than the first. He lied about his competence and keeps pretending he has the answer whereas he is CLUELESS! If you ever built you would encounter such individuals. If you fail to sack them, you end up with uncompleted structure. Please, ask Buhari to face governance and stop complaining and running from pillar to post. This is not the Nigeria that was handed over to him. Sai Baba has turned to Shame Baba!! 2 Likes |
