Fulani issues and Boko Haram has highly reduced as well as corruption. What we are experiencing in terms of economy is effects of dependence on oil and sabotage by nda which can only be solved easily through violence. IMO violence should be employed as a last option after the ongoing dialogue is exhausted. Right now if I was Buhari there is nothing extra I could do better than what is being done.

The Igbos are too big to be pushed under not to talk of adding the Niger Delta to it.
You cannot take the east for granted and have it smooth, never!!!!
Buhari's immaturity and arrogance has gotten us into this mess.
Many of us saw this coming but you omenka, fulanimafia and others kept cheering him on shouting the new sheriff is in town.
Buhari failed to handle the Biafra agitation well likewise the Niger Delta agitation.
Tell him to apologise for that 5% speech and after that, he should dress in Igbo & ND attires and go to the SE & SS and talk to the people, letting them know they are also Nigerians and that we can work together to make this nation great again.
Buhari should be humble for goodness sakes, this is not 1966 or 1983, this is 2016!!!
I am yet to see the sort of maturity one would have expected from Buhari to be honest. Ok, let me guess, when he apologises for the "5%" talk, the economy would start turning around I suppose. And they sound as though they know any better. Smh. Abeg, make una carry una tribal nonsense comot from my face this morning. 3 Likes |

Now, what has "Fulani" got to do with anything?? If it is about appointments, let me ask, does appointing, instead of a Fulani man, an Efik, Igbo, Idoma, Kanuri, Yoruba, Ijaw, etc automatically translate into turning the tide in our economy?? When you raise issues and you bring in arguments regarding ethnicity, you just mess things up, especially on this forum.
The economy is what it is today not because of the pilots we have but because the fundamentals are in shambles!!
Cast your mind back to what it was just weeks before handover!! There was no fuel anywhere, no electricity, banks were closing by 12noon because there was no electricity. Telecoms companies were unable to sustain their activities due to issues bordering on availability of gasoline/diesel to power their generators, etc!!
All these happening when crude was still being sold @ $70pb!! Now, it is being sold at just over half that price and people expect to see miracles happen!! Brother, it isn't that simple.
When recession came calling sometime in 2006 (or thereabouts) with a crash in crude prices, Nigeria defended her currency and her economy with over $20billion. Imports was sustained and the value of the naira was hardly affected. We had over $60billion in our reserves then!
Today, we are talking about just over half that amount at the point of handover with a population increase of over 15million!! This implies that if $20billion was being used to keep the economy afloat then, we would require even more today to do same!!
Now, imagine the implication of pulling out over 20billion dollars from our current reserve about a year ago or even now, and being left with about 10-15billion in reserves!! Imagine a country that isn't credit worthy!!
Dude, these are fundamental issues that would take time to correct. People don't see these things because they are too emotional to analyse them dispassionately.
Everybody is feeling the pangs, but I foresaw this coming from day one, so did NOI herself and Sanusi. They warned that we saved for the rainy day but the admin they worked under never heeded that warning. Today, shiit has really hit the fan and everyone is pointing accusing fingers at this government. I'm afraid I won't blame her on the state of the economy- it has been a long time coming.
Ps: you still haven't suggested what you would have done differently though. You guys still don't get it nobody has lost faith in Buhari because the economy is bad we have lost faith because we have seen he lacks the wisdom and vision to lead any nation .. See an example below from my previous post I stopped supporting Buhari not because the economy is bad or slow ..I did because I found out he lacks wisdom and vision required to steer any economy either one in boom or in a recession .. okay let me me give you an example if you are President of a Country that depends on oil from most of its revenue and Oil prices drop at a time when you haven't diversified the economy ..What would a wise president do ? Ans: A wise president will know that to meet up the revenue deficit from low oil price you will have to improve out put and try expand your agreed quota by any means. (Just yesterday Saudi Arabia hit is record out of 10,650,000 million barrels a day like any wise leader would) What will a visionless president do? Answer : He will tense up the fragile peace in the Niger delta by first revoking a proposed university of Niger delta, he would order the EFCC to start investigating ex militants for corruption, he would then order the EFCC to declare Tompolo wanted and infact give him a deadline to turn himself in (who does that) without remembering that till recently Tompolo was in charge of pipelines surveillance for year so had good upstanding of how they work. Another instance is in a country that has an employment and productivity deficit and depend on small 4 stroke Petrol Generators to drive most of the small businesses because of poor power supply ..what does Buhari do ? He orders the minister of power to increase the electricity tarrif by 50 percent and then goes ahead to increase petrol price by almost double . A wise president would increase petrol and maintain the electricity tariff as it is till the economy improves because increase both at the same time will increase the cost production by over 100 percent thereby driving a rapid inflation.. Bro I can go on and on ..Buhari lacks good decision making abilities infact if you give him the Swedish economy today he will destroy it in a year. 38 Likes 7 Shares |

Ps: you still haven't suggested what you would have done differently though. My suggestions 1. Focus all energy on generation of at least 18 hours electricity supply all over Nigeria. We are losing too much money using alternatives, money that could be used to be more productive as an individual and as a nation. This would even reduce fuel consumption and we won't have to worry about fuel scarcity because we would have more than enough for our vehicles. Trust me do this and watch Nigeria take that giant leap. In fact 100 generations from now will never stop appreciating APC and Buhari, there will be no more oppositions. Even PDP members will carry placards for APC. Just ignore some other projects and focus on this for a year, people will complain(we have been complaining for a long time so what's the difference?)but at the end of the year there will be rejoicing. 2. Statement of intent is to have a review of salaries earned by public officers. No one should be allowed to earn more than a 100k-150k monthly. I mean this should be the salary at the highest level. No more bonuses. At the end of the year there can be 13th month salary and that's all. Do this and see how much we would have saved. After all how many Nigerians earn more than this even at the peak of their careers? Only a very small percentage. This would immediately eradicate that do or die mentality of political positions seeking individuals. 3. Leave the media and do your work. Any government that has to come explain what he has done/ been doing to me has failed or is failing. Normally you don't need to sing your praises, people should do that for you voluntarily. These projects should be visible even to the blind and audible to the deaf. This was why I couldn't vote for Jonathan last election. Though I love him personally, I have to search and search before I can know of any projects he has successfully completed and even some were still debatable. It shouldn't be so. I will stop here for now. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Sanchez01: Just last year, I joined the many Nigerians who actually thought a dogged fourth time contestants woild be the best thing to happen should Jonathan be kicked. A year after, I have lost my voice around friends and family each time a political discourse comes up, most especially about the state of the economy.
Problems bothering on insecurity, power, state of the economy and corruption have all grown worse than it was under Goodluck Jonathan. Not like Jonathan would have been able to redeem the nation a second time though, and I would have still clearly voted against him if I had caught a glimpse of the anomalies ongoing before hand, but this time, I would have just given my vote to Kowa or Hope.
Without mincing words, Nigeria is presently on autopilot; President Buhari clearly has no idea on what should be done. The BBOG Buhari used as a tool during his campaign have been forgotten, more than ever Fulani herdsmen have been armed and fortified as they impact roads and streets with cow dung and horrible flies. The budget padding saga is still an issue to watch while daily corruption charges hover around the president and his minions.
Just a handful of the many APC faithfuls who are fast realizing that the Change we have is in reverse, it is worthy of note to clearly state that I have lost faith in the Buhari-led administration.
I sincerely hope Kowa would come out stronger with young, vibrant, intelligent and dynamic candidates in 2019. Hmmmmmmm Life is a marathon run by participants with varied endurance. Only the fittest reach the end. You are right to dropout whenever your strength fails you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

PS: Life has taught me that spectators think they're good judge of things, just like football spectators think they're better than most players and managers. As a matter of fact, they tend to have suggestions that are more plausible than that of the persons they're watching. I'm not one of them, however. We just have to ask certain questions and highlight the many problems facing Nigeria right now, which are but not limited to; 1. Security 2. Power 3. Employment 4. Food and shelter 5. Mono-economy 6. Corruption 7. Accessibility of Roads and 8. Poor Economic Policies. There are specialists called ministers that have been put in place to tackle some of these.

. Given the chance today, I'd gladly vote Jonathan, only if he can contest under a platform that is far from PDP. I thought u were making valid points till u made this statement. My friend,many are agreed that up to this point PMB has failed spectacularly,but u shud not wish GEJ on any nation ,even in your nightmares. For me,if it's btw PMB as he is presently going and GEJ, as he ever cud be,the best option shud be each region going it's own way.Either of them both now will be filled with immense pain. A Yar'Adua wud have been the only tolerable option in a one Nigeria,but unfortunately he is dead and buried and there is no politician alive now that is similar to him in ideas,implementation and forthrightness.His only drawback was his slowpace.He meant well,was forthright, had enormous integrity and showed it;acted and implemented his carefully thought out policies well. 1 Like |

Wrong. The SE is simply riding on the coat tails of the SS for relevance. Same coin my foot. There's no doubt that Nigeria currently runs a mono economy, which is why you should either join the fight against militancy or shut your mouth about the economy. If Buhari fails by 2019, I will be at the forefront of the campaign against him. What I will definitely NOT do is patronize ignorance and pretend he is the source of our economic challenges today, or act like he has a magic wand to perform miracles just a year into his government. I don't expect you to build bridges with other regions either, Ibos are politically handicapped which is why your political destiny is now stamped on the ass cheeks of the Ijaws which you must continue to kiss for any political relevance. My daily quota for engaging ipod yoots is now exhausted so you can save your response. SuperPanther:

Call it riding, call it whatever you wish, the fact remains that the SE & SE make up the eastern bloc and are two sides of the same coin. [size=16pt]MILITANTS DEMAND RELEASE OF NNAMDI KANU AFTER HIJACKING SHIP[/size] Militants claiming to support the Biafran cause have hijacked a merchant ship off the Nigerian coast. They are demanding the release of pro-Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu as a ransom for the safe return of the ship and its crew. The ship was allegedly hijacked on Friday in the Bakassi Peninsula, a disputed region between Nigeria and Cameroon off the southeastern coast of Nigeria, according to domestic media outlet NewsDay reported on Sunday. A spokesman for the militants, named only as General Ben, said on Saturday in Nigeria’s southern oil hub of Port Harcourt that a 31-day ultimatum had been issued to the Nigerian government within which Kanu—who was arrested in October 2015 and is awaiting trial on charges of treason—should be released. The spokesman threatened to blow up the ship with the crew onboard if the government failed to comply. A group of ex-Niger Delta militants—who were allegedly involved in the destruction of oil pipelines in Nigeria’s oil-producing heartland during an insurgency in the mid-2000s—reportedly issued the deadline earlier in January, though it is not clear if the same group is responsible for the hijacking. Bridgadier General Rabe Abubakar, the Nigerian military’s director of defense information, tells Newsweek that the incident has taken place and that the Nigerian authorities are pursuing the hijackers, but was unable to provide further information about the ship or the condition of the crew. “This is an act of criminality, an act of sabotage,” says Abubakar. When asked whether the militants were demanding Kanu’s release, Abubakar tells Newsweek: “We don’t care about personality. What we care about is the nation, the safety of our ex-patriates, the safety of our citizens and the safety of everybody who is [in Nigeria] on legitimate contentions or business.” Kanu is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a secessionist movement that advocates the creation of an independent state of Biafra in southeastern Nigeria. Biafra existed as a republic separate from Nigeria between 1967 and 1970. Its creation by Nigerian military officer Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu sparked a three-year civil war in which more than 1 million people were killed. http://europe.newsweek.com/nigerian-militants-demand-release-nnamdi-kanu-after-hijacking-ship-421735 7 Likes |

Progressive01: Ok, let me guess, when he apologises for the "5%" talk, the economy would start turning around I suppose.
And they sound as though they know any better.
Smh.
Abeg, make una carry una tribal nonsense comot from my face this morning. You seem to always over think things. What Buhari lack is diplomacy. His lack of diplomacy and unnecessary utterances is the major cause of must unrest in this country. He shld try to be diplomatic, act as the father he is, try bringing peace and calm the various agitating group in the country. A peaceful environment will provide ground from positive growth and development. That is one area he is failing. 6 Likes |

PaulIdu:
You guys still don't get it nobody has lost faith in Buhari because the economy is bad we have lost faith because we have seen he lacks the wisdom and vision to lead any nation .. See an example below from my previous post
I stopped supporting Buhari not because the economy is bad or slow ..I did because I found out he lacks wisdom and vision required to steer any economy either one in boom or in a recession .. okay let me me give you an example if you are President of a Country that depends on oil from most of its revenue and Oil prices drop at a time when you haven't diversified the economy ..What would a wise president do ?
Ans: A wise president will know that to meet up the revenue deficit from low oil price you will have to improve out put and try expand your agreed quota by any means. (Just yesterday Saudi Arabia hit is record out of 10,650,000 million barrels a day like any wise leader would)
What will a visionless president do?
Answer : He will tense up the fragile peace in the Niger delta by first revoking a proposed university of Niger delta, he would order the EFCC to start investigating ex militants for corruption, he would then order the EFCC to declare Tompolo wanted and infact give him a deadline to turn himself in (who does that) without remembering that till recently Tompolo was in charge of pipelines surveillance for year so had good upstanding of how they work.
Another instance is in a country that has an employment and productivity deficit and depend on small 4 stroke Petrol Generators to drive most of the small businesses because of poor power supply ..what does Buhari do ? He orders the minister of power to increase the electricity tarrif by 50 percent and then goes ahead to increase petrol price by almost double . A wise president would increase petrol and maintain the electricity tariff as it is till the economy improves because increase both at the same time will increase the cost production by over 100 percent thereby driving a rapid inflation..
Bro I can go on and on ..Buhari lacks good decision making abilities infact if you give him the Swedish economy today he will destroy it in a year.
He will destroy the Swedish economy in 6months. He has increase the interest rate to 14% and also put more tax burden on the people. By 2019, the Afonjas will be too hungry to come online. ![grin](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/grin.png) 11 Likes |
