With the current trend of happenings in the country, it has to be painted out if this current administration has been unlucky or they just don’t know how to govern. Things have been really messy, the nation is in a real state of confusion with everyone waiting and hoping for a magic to turn things around for good.

This present administration was evidently unlucky to come into power when the prices of crude globally have begun to decline drastically. Nigeria as a nation has placed her entire confidence and focus on the oil sector which is now really affecting the economy, making it difficult for the country to maintain a stable economy. We can’t blame this administration for the fall of oil prices, but surely, we could blame the entire government that has ever ruled this nation for not investing enough and assisting vehemently other income earning sectors in the nation. This fall of oil prices has really shaken the nation, the dollar exchange rate to naira is devastating, bringing about a rise in almost all commodities in the market, where even the once very cheap and common commodity, garri, has now become expensive with some families finding it difficult to purchase the commodity.

The tomato issue is also one problem that has caused a nationwide stir and given Nigerians a hard knock, as it is one very vital ingredient in the Nigerian delicacy and cannot be avoided. I haven’t heard any tale or ready any history of tomato causing such a problem in the country like it is now, we never saw it coming, nature played its thing. It can’t be said to be the fault of this administration. It is a situation that caught us all suddenly which was caused by the massive infestation of tomato plantations in the north (been the major supplier of this commodity) by the pest called Tuta Absoluta with the common name Tomato Leafminer. No one certainly can blame this administration for this, although, it could be said that necessary precautionary measures should have been taken by the agricultural sector to avoid such disastrous infestation.

Talking about running the government, this administration has not been up and doing, with things moving from bad to worse, Nigerians groaning everyday, massive sacking in numerous companies, insecurity, employment soaring higher. Looking at the fuel subsidy issue, removing the subsidy was a very good call, but truth be told, its timing was wrong. Removing the subsidy at a time when oil prices had fallen and naira losing its value at an alarming pace, it was not a good call. Though, Yes! The federal government was able to make some money from the removal, yes! The subsidy profiteers have been knocked out, but the time it happened wasn’t a good one. The removal of subsidy brought the price of petrol from N86.5 to N145 which dealt a serious blow to Nigerians, bringing prices of commodities even higher after the dollar price has caused its own effect.

The handling of insecurity another issue that has made this government questionable. We were promised a secured nation, but its a no news anymore about the new threats that have began to ravage the country. The government has not done enough is curbing the situation, it is the responsibility of the government to invite involved parties and have a meaningful dialogue, with each party receiving the same care and attention given to others. I personally am waiting for the moment when we would have a government headed by a personality who gives no preference based on tribes.

Another thing about I hold against this government has been the rate of travels by the president. No good leader leaves his home unsettled to settle matters abroad and this has put the president into the black book of many. I recollect a time, in a public transport, a man was bitterly expressing his anger at the numerous travels of the president, asking the questions why? What has he achieved with all the travels? Is any help forthcoming from all these travels? As he was expressing himself, fellow commuters joined also expressed their bad feeling about it. The president has been viewed by numerous persons to be lackadaisical about the welfare of the ordinary Nigerian. His recent travel for the treatment of his ear infection has also caused one big stir in the nation and raised questions, but frankly, is this government taking us for granted? Do Nigerians matter at all to these leaders?

Lots and lots of promises made before the election are yet to be fulfilled, and what the administration could say was “The Mistake We Made Was Talking Too Much During the Campaign”, and one begins to wonder, were they unconscious while making all those promises? What kind of government makes such a statement?
A lot is really bothering this administration, which brings about the question: are they unlucky? Or are they just incapable of governing?

To my fellow nairalanders, whats your response?

Unluckily they're incapable

It is actually incapability

IAMLOOSEWEIGHT

Burukutuhari The dullard is an incapable maggot. Fvck him

Incapable, incompetent, lazy, unserious, reckless, feckless and helpless.

The only Nigerians in support of Buhari are northerners. Everybody down south is tired of Buhari and can't wait for him to either just die or leave. I'm not lying just ask around. Its the south thats feeling the brunt of his incompetent leadership.

Who does job losses in banks and companies affect the most? Southerners
Who does high dollar exchange rates affect the most? Southerners
What about fulani herdsmen? Southerners are sick of them
His inability to be diplomatic and flexible has caused ethnic tensions in the south.

Buhari is a disaster. He is currently the worst president in Africa.

Anybody who says Buhari is unlucky is a big fool. It took Buhari six months to appoint ministers, six phucking months!

Our leaders are making our dear country look like a pile of s**t.

This thread is nothing but a CRAP

I pity you

The elephant in the room is that you Nigerians do not want to make the hard sacrifices needed to get us off oil dependency. And doing that does not take one year....It takes several years of harship...while we spend more in industriies ...and try to find markets for our products...meaning that we have to endure....until our industrial production really takes off.

You Nigerians want a resource whose revenues would make you comfortable. Better stop thinking that agric and mining will save us now that oil has failed.....because they are subject to the same price fluctuations as oil. We should industrialse...then we can export something whose price we can controland earn billions.

The tomato issue is also one problem that has caused a nationwide stir and given Nigerians a hard knock, as it is one very vital ingredient in the Nigerian delicacy and cannot be avoided. I haven’t heard any tale or ready any history of tomato causing such a problem in the country like it is now, we never saw it coming, nature played its thing.

No one certainly can blame this administration for this, although, it could be said that necessary precautionary measures should have been taken by the agricultural sector to avoid such disastrous infestation.

Very true....but the reason why we are not making the pesticides needed for tomato pests....is because we Nigerians prefer to import and import rather than manufacture. Yes...GEJ never had that problem because there was cash to import the pesticides needed thanks to high oil prices. This over importation discourages local production.

That is why APC must make the hard choice and industrialize. But they don't like that the road leads via austerity.

Talking about running the government, this administration has not been up and doing, with things moving from bad to worse, Nigerians groaning everyday, massive sacking in numerous companies, insecurity, employment soaring higher. Looking at the fuel subsidy issue, removing the subsidy was a very good call, but truth be told, its timing was wrong.

Back in 2012....you people said that the timing was wrong too. re subsidy.

And all the sacking etc.....everything is due to our dependency on oil....which is not cured in a year. GEJ did not do a good job of it...neither did many of our leaders past. We are a resource dependent nation. When the price of our resources are high.....we run AMOK with cash (Gowon's comment in 1974 about Nigeria having too much money to spend comes to mind).When it goes low...cash becomes difficult to spend.

We can stop being resource dependent....but that means a end to awoof cash and corruption which you Nigerians love.


The handling of insecurity another issue that has made this government questionable. We were promised a secured nation, but its a no news anymore about the new threats that have began to ravage the country. The government has not done enough is curbing the situation, it is the responsibility of the government to invite involved parties and have a meaningful dialogue, with each party receiving the same care and attention given to others. I personally am waiting for the moment when we would have a government headed by a personality who gives no preference based on tribes

In other words....you want more people from your tribe in government so that you can chop the crumbs they leave over f rom their looting.

That is not good government. Good government is hard work.....not about how many people you have in office from your tribe..

Boko is on the run, and bombing pipelines does no one any good.

Do Nigerians matter at all to these leaders?

When NARD went on strike during GEJ's regime...the resident doctors union that is....you people called them names...and forced them to end the strike. See where we are now? Bad hospitals...and a government that came in with limited funds to take care of them (Which by my calculations ....will exceed N5 TRILLION.).

The only way for our hospitals to earn more money is by privatizing them, and allwing them to increase their fees so that they have the money to pay for improvements. But you Nigerians do not want that......and at the same time you want more hospitals....so govt listens to you....and the amount of money left per hospital is less and less.

I am not defending PMB here by the way. I am saying that for things to get better in Nigeria...it has to get much worse before it gets better....more worse than this. We have to make the transition from being resoruce dependent....to being an innovation driven economy. ...via austerity.

Na our brothers across the bridge o. Them wan make this present administration ungovernable as an appraisal attack

Trial and error government
Hopefully they find their foot sooner than expected

No Word is enough to describe it!

80% incapable and 20% unlucky.Many of the ministers are square pegs in round holes.

Unlucky but blessed.

Nigeria

And this poop is on frontage

I've said this before and i'll say it again, Buhari has no idea what he is doing. He is out of his depth and grossly incompentent. As if that isn't bad enough, his utterances are unbecoming of a leader who is meant to oversee the affairs of over a 170 million people. Talking dismissively, disparaginly and condescendly about a region that carries the burden of the nation didn't do him any favors either. You know what they say about the goose that lays the golden eggs. Agreed, crude isn't selling at sky high prices like they used to but the administration could still earn enough to keep the economy running only if Buhari had been more tactful with his comments. Alas, that has never been his forte. So let him deal with the mess he has created with his loose talk.
Furthermore, where are the technocrats in this administration? Which minister can we single out and say at least this one is performing above par? None, zilch, nada! The president appointed people based on political appeasements and ended up with a lot of deadwood in his cabinet. At this rate i don't see the president achieving much for the foreseeable future.

Be using tomato to judge an administration....
Warped thinking

Incapable .......to me,Buhari should look beyond party to salvage NIGERIA. Technocrats are outside party .cheers

Severely Incapable.

Unluckily incapable.
