*Where is the President Nigerians Elected?*

We are in a world of this or the other: either of two things involved. You are either a male or a female. You're either a white or a black. You're either a millitary man or a civilian, and all that. The same way, in today's Nigeria, you are either a Buharist or a Wailer (no neutrality). If you are a Buharist, you are safe; but if you are a Wailer, it is either of two things involved: you are either a long-time Wailer or a Converted (New) Wailer ( let's get off the joke now). But by the day, membership of the Wailers faction seems soaring while the opposite is the case for Buharists. We now have the Wailers Club.

There is the Wailers Association of Nigeria, even Wailers Blog, and anytime soon, the Association of New Wailers might be unveiled (at least, online like the rest). The Buharists too, despite their membership deficit lately, present a rare show of courage. They have good writers and apologists, good orators and analysts that fill the media with counter (and more or less already made) responses to every single accusation Nigerians put up against the Person of and/or the government of Muhamadu Buhari.

Talk of hunger in the land, and a Buharist will tell you how it had happened in Spain. Mention the rising poverty, the nose-diving value of Naira; and another will tell you it is just too good for a healthy economy. Even the mass massacre in the North east, you would be told it was worse under the past administration. Buharists work morning to night to feed you with the slightest of their Principal's moves and hash tag it "Buhariisworking".

When the Government changes a car tyre, they quickly put it in graphics and share. When Buhari sleeps 8hrs uninterrupted in the Villa, it is in the media as an unprecedented development. Who says Buhari is not working? That is the reason Nigerians pay his monthly dues after all. That is the reason they feed him and his family from the common purse. Yes, Buhari is giving the Nation's railway a new look. No doubt, Buhari has made the EFCC less dormant.

Laudably too, Buhari has constructed roads and he's sure still working on some others. He has purchased tucano jets, It is also no news that Mr. President is re-awakening Nigerian airline. These are all good projects, but they are the least Nigerians looked forward to. Nigerians want the President they elected in 2015. A president that would have provided about five million jobs by now. Could that same President have been watching the daily loss of thousands of Jobs that we now have? I guess No!

Nigerians elected a President that would have banned medical tourism by politicians, he definitely can't be the one who patronises UK Doctors himself. Nigerians want their President, who would have equated a naira to a dollar. Where is the President Nigerians voted, who would have made a litre of petrol fifty naira? Or could that same man have watched a litre move from less than a hundred naira price to a hundred and fifty?

The retired General re-introduced to Nigerians in the pre-election days wouldn't have looked-on while herdsmen become a threat. He in fact would have brought permanent peace and solution to the insurgency issues in the North-East; the Niger Delta; and other conflict prone states and areas such as Plateau, Benue, Bauchi, Borno, Abia, Taraba, Yobe, and Kaduna in order to engender national unity and social harmony.

The president Nigerians elected in 2015 would have fixed electricity within his first six months in office. He would have Increased the quality of all federal government owned hospitals to world class standard. He's sure not the same man, who watched Aso rock Clinic die under his very nose. The Man we used to know would also have revived and reactivated our minimally performing Refineries to optimum capacity.

The Buhari for whom Nigerians sent away a sitting President promised to revive and restructure the Nigerian Football League and put incentives in place to make it as competitive as other national leagues. The Man Nigerians cheered 'Sai Baba' would have Initiated action to amend the Nigerian Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties, and responsibilities to states in order to entrench true Federalism and the Federal spirit, to mention but a few.

He would have established a Conflict resolution commission to help prevent, mitigate, and resolve civil conflicts within the polity rather than declare harmless IPOB a terrorist group and launch a deadly python dance against the Igbos.

Lastly, should things be different from his views when seeking votes, should he have found it impossible to fulfill his promises and activate the magic wand for which Nigerians voted him, I trust the man Nigerians elected to have willingly relinquished power and resigned honourably. I doubt if such a man of integrity would bum around seeking a second term, after a first term of woes and woes and groans.

So, Nigerians where is the President you elected?
