Buhari Is Not Transparent Enough To Be President Of Nigeria. by drss(m): 10:34am On Oct 21, 2014 |
Leadership worldwide is about service to humanity. Service to work for the benefit of the populace without expecting anything in return. Service to sacrifice oneself for the greater good of all even at the point of personal disadvantage or dead. Its the kind of service that is transparent, honest and devoid of lies and manipulations. The kind of service that would put smiles on the faces of the people. This the kind of service Nigerians deserve. Events of late about some presidential aspirants as with regard to transparency and honesty lives many people like me scratching my head. The public admission by Buhari that he collected a bank loan to buy nomination form for politics begs many questions surrounding he's honesty. -What is Buhari's view about leadership? -How much is he truly worth? -Is he really poor? -Why collect a bank loan for politics? These and more are questions begging for answers. Business as defined by the dictionary is any commercial activity that yields profits or returns over a period of time. This could be in cash or in kind. Now, we are all aware about the kind of politics some politicians play in this country. Politics to these group of people is business. Business in the sense that what ever they spend to aspire to a political office, when they get there they recover back their investment by dipping their hands in the National treasury. To these group of politicians, Politics is just good business. Now let's juxtapose this in line with what Buhari's action lately. Buhari obviously see leadership as a business venture. He put his skills into practice by taking a bank loan to finance his political ambition. By taking a bank loan to the sum of #27.5 million, (The Bank manager should be fired) he's telling us that he's investing it into politics by buying APC's presidential nomination form. This will enable him aspire for the number one public office in the land: Presidency. Let's assume he won the election (Highly Unlikely) and becomes President, all he would do is simply dip his hands in the federation account and recover back his investment, plus the 27.5 million he took as loan to pay the bank including interest. Now do you see the picture? Can Buhari be regarded as an honest man if he could practice what other politicians had been doing since 1978? Can Buhari be regarded as a honest man? Personally, I think he's as dishonest as any other rogue politician. The fact that he took a loan (If True) to finance his political ambition is enough reason to paint him as just another Business politician. Its never about service to Nigerian citizens. It's just business as usual. The fact that he took loan for politics shows that he has no clue about finance and businesses organization in the real sense of the word. How would he develop the Nigerian economy with this kind of mindset if he becomes President? He would definitely plunge Nigeria into financial crisis if he got the chance. Its time Nigerians open their eyes to the kind of politics these people play in the name of service for Nigeria. If you truly want to serve Nigeria you will do so at your expense. If truly you want to serve Nigeria you will do so at personal cost with no hope or expectation of recovering it back. If truly you desire to serve Nigeria you will do so at personal risk to your own financial safety and security. Ladies and gentlemen, Buhari is not the incorruptible politician his followers try to paint him to be. He certainly is not the kind of leader Nigeria wants, who see politics as a business venture. He's definitely not the kind of leader that can sacrifice his own finances for a good course of service to Nigeria. Definitely not the kind of leader who see service as GIVE and not SEEK ANYTHING in RETURN . These singular act of his has shown me that Buhari is not Transparent and honest enough to be Nigerian's President. Have a Nice Day Everyone. God Bless Nigeria. 6 Likes |

drss: keeping my space hiss after reading through well i feel you didnt nail it jare.... yeah we all know that the bank loan thing is a scam to look good.... i have a few questions to ask but let me ask one for now PDP he said has killed us for 15years or there about in the 15 years, ANPP a party he was an active member of and CPC a party he formed ruled a vast part of the northern states and billions of NGN went to those states monthly those same states have local governments again headed by the ANPP and CPC and millions of naira went there also now my question is simple if indeed GMB is as clean as they want me to believe how come these northern states are still very much under developed? what happened to all the billions that went to the state? abi was it PDP that spent it for them? at least if ACN and Fash talks i still would listen because we can still see the development (even if some people will argue its not commensurate to the income the state gets) but what did the GMB led CPC party do in their states? how was the general able to control his party to perform well and show us good governance? the time for the youths to ask questions is now give us a young man under 50 to rule us but if we no see then i might just vote GEJ 9 Likes |

morefire: Buhari led CPC ruled some states for 15years?? A party he formed in December 2010 two months to the February 2011 general elections. Bia is it a prerequisite as a saTAN goon to be ignorant and lazy before coming to a public fora to spew rubbish and unintelligent statements The only state ruled by CPC was Nasarawa. How does a single state equals majority of northern states? @OP whatever reasons buhari gave to collect a loan is tied to himself and his bank. It is his collateral and his name why bother over something that doesn't concern you or hurt you? Ifenanyi Ubah,wale tinubu, dangote are all indebted to their banks if they can't payback the bank know how to collect it loaned money. 2 Likes |

Apart from not being transparent, Buhari is still regarded as the man who put "di.ck" in "dickator". His dictatorial tendencies would ruin Nigeria. This is Sheikh Gumi on Buhari "Buhari also cannot be advised. That is legendary. He believes in himself only. So if before ascending to power, he is unapproachable, when he gets power he will just turn into another Pharaoh as nobody has the monopoly of wisdom and no man is indispensable" Thats his own Imam warning us of Adolf Buhari Hitler. 1 Like |

Even if the only attribute and action Buhari can bring to Nigeria is dismantling of corruption.....i think thats a good reason to Vote for him....GEJ has dissapointed Nigeria,,,,we expexteced so much from him, he fooled us all with his humility and humble background and the fact that he is from a minority ethnic group stole our hearts.....GEJ had the chance to make history in Nigeria but he failed,,,,,,The National Pride is at its lowest ever, people are now so bolded that they dont still in millions anymore,,they steal in Billions of dollars.......and even when caught they are bold enough not to resign but rather the GEJ would go on TV to defend them that " People who steal are not corrupt, small stealing and Nigerians would start shouting corruption" those are his exact words.....This is disgeacefull In a normal country with sensible citizens, we ought to have demanded his resignation but yet we celebrate him like a God Please Nigerians,, if you wont vote Buhari because he is a muslim or he is too old or he is from the north......dont vote at all, just reserv ur vote, or vote anyother candidate thats contesting along side them ,GEJ is not a better opposite of buhari, GEJ is too careless, people might say Nigeria Economy improved, Nigeria is more developed and all that but GEJ is stealing and allowing people in his cabinate to steal at an alarming rate,,,,,Presidents in civilized countires have been voted out for wayy less ,,,,,,VOTE WISELY 5 Likes 2 Shares |

drss: You started this write up quite well, but you were only able to dwell on the loan part which has already been over thrashed in the arena of public opinion. What about the other questions/issues you raised? Are you asking us to research further to find answers? I believe this Buhari honesty is more of a myth than reality, but perception is every thing, if you must make people change their minds over a myth that is almost 30 years old, then you must come up with hard facts and present them in a more convincing manner than this. |

GEJ and his appointees have been involved in one corruption case or another,,,,,20billion went missing, althou okonji iwela said it was jst $10billion, where in the world is the money?.....stella odua embezeeld millions of dollars, it took the Grace of God for GEJ to call her to order......look,, GEJ problem is his ineptitude towards the management of the countries afairs,, people have become too blatant in their embezzlement,, they no longer still in secret,,,they come out to do it and GEJ would defend them... BUHARI- His major problem is not from his qualification but from his ethnic and religious background.....Nigerians are not yet matured enough to look past such and elcect it,,,,,when he ruled,,,,corruption and indecipline was reduced to the bearest minimum N.B. Please if u wont vote Buhari because he is a muslim, northerner or too old,,,,,reserve ur vote or rather vote for any other aspirant that contest agasint GEJ and buhari.....

When Kids are given access to internet, abuse is inevitable. Using GMB #27.5 million loan as an index to weigh his level of corruption is like saying Jonathan would have remain shoeless uptill now because of his " I had no shoe" slogan he uses to deceived Nigerians b4 he won d last Election. U should not hav 4gotten so soon dat "he" ( Jonathan of PDP) is rated recently as d 6ix richest serving president in Africa. My Dear, u should hav aswell used dat as a perimeter to measure his level of Corrupt practice, looting and clueless.
