Those 14 Time Bombs were actually created by Buhari and his Army old soldiers when he was in the military, in fact, after he was overthrown by IBB, he created more foot soldiers that metamorphosed into Boko Haram. Buhari destroyed the Nigerian Economy with SAP. Buhari destroyed our Transportation sector by stopping construction of major roads and even cancel the Lagos Metro-Line project. Buhari was at the PTF and orchestrated wholesale Fraud that has become an octopus in the Oil Sector. Show me one of the Problems there that is not a direct or indirect fault of Buhari and his friends and compatriots in the Military. #BabaOneChance, Go to Aso Rock and solve the problems you help to start. You military egg-heads destroyed Nigeria, go and fix it or we will chase you out. 4 Likes |

Number one time bomb is Buhari ever ignoring to political restructuring of Nigeria to enable near equal political representation between the two old British Protectorates later amalgamated to form Nigeria. Northern soldiers later proliferated 19 states+Abuja in once one region north, but left only 17 states in the once three regions south. The present political structure leaves the south of Nigeria as mere appendage of a northern master country. Three Senators are derived from every state. Thus the north nearly decides whatever can happen in Nigeria. In no federal country was landmass or population used to create new federating units (states) like in Nigeria. At the end of states creation in Nigeria, what we should have been having is equal multiples of states from the existing federating units that existed when states started to be created. Imagine soldiers rising in say the US, and dividing large state of California or Texas into many more states; resulting to more legislative representatives from California or Texas sent to the US Congress, as well as take more US revenues to the new states. It is foul play to continue since 1999 to use a non-democratically crafted political structure to determine the outcome of a democratic presidential election. Obssanjo started political restructuring, could not finish. Yar Adua could not take up political restructuring because of obvious reasons that the extant political structure favours the far north most. Goodluck Jonathan started very late with restructuring in his CONFAB. A democratically crafted political structure is the first thing Nigeria needs to concord before a new constitution or amending the 1999 constitution supervised by machine gun bearing northern soldiers. |

I don't know why people are speculating dooms for Buhari and his incoming administration. Don't forget if Buhari fails, we as Nigerians has failed. and we will be taking back again. People voice out against Jonathan because he failed us. I remember him before election saying the light situation has greatly improved, but where I am in a city in the south west, I have not seen light for the past 4 days and no fuel to power generator cos the little I lay hands upon is just for my car. Now we have push Jonathan out of Aso rock. Let us keep reminding Buhari of his promises and be patient also. We don't need to be prophesying doom for him. What Jonathan could not do in 6 years we should not expect Buhari to fix it in one month. And if you continue wishing him to fail, don't forget you, your family and posterity are part of the Nation. If we miss it again...don't let me think it self God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria God bless the in-coming President |

[quote author=makzeze post=33365136]Corruption Under the Presidency of Goodluck Jonathan, corruption appears to have assumed the status of a norm rather than an abnormality. Little wonder that in an attempt to defend corruption, Jonathan was quoted as saying “stealing is not corruption.” The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project and other groups had in June 2012 demanded that President Jonathan should disclose his assets from 2007 to 2012 but he refused to oblige. Although the Nigerian law provides criminal penalties for official corruption, however, it was observed more in breach during the PDP led administration of President Jonathan. Consequently, government officials frequently engaged in corrupt practices with impunity. There was also massive, widespread and pervasive corruption that affected all levels of government and even the security forces. The Constitution provides immunity from civil and criminal prosecution for the President, Vice President, Governors and deputy Governors while in office. Some of the indices of corruption during the Jonathan government included the conviction of former Delta State governor James Ibori in the Southwark Crown Court in London of charges of money laundering and other financial crimes totaling N12.4bn, after he was acquitted by a Nigerian court; and the N1.067trn fuel subsidy fund lost to endemic corruption. Several rights groups and agencies had also rated the anticorruption efforts of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission, as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as “largely ineffectual.” Over a dozen cases handled by the EFCC under Jonathan administration have remained inconclusive, including the cases against four former governors Gbenga Daniel, Adebayo Alao-Akala, Aliyu Akwe Doma and Muhammed Danjuma Goje, for allegedly misappropriating N58bn, N25bn, N18bn and N12.8bn, respectively. Little wonder that one of the most potent campaign strategies of General Buhari was zero tolerance against corruption. As a man with a demonstrable stance against stealing of public funds not a few analysts say Buhari would tackle the cankerworm. But the degree of its entrenchment in the Nigerian system would make it no less a herculean task for the incoming administration. Partisan Security Agencies One of the cardinal promises of the Buhari campaign is that of tackling insecurity. With the elections over, the incoming administration’s task is pretty well cut out in terms of restructuring the security agencies to tackle the security challenges being faced in the country. The security agencies have clearly been partisan and perhaps nowhere was this demonstrated than in the military, which, added to its inability to successfully tackle the Boko Haram insurgency in the last six years, claimed not to be in possession of Buhari’s certificates, when the issue came up during campaigns only for the Army to make a U-turn once Buhari was declared winner of the elections. Perhaps the most glaring evidence of the military’s partisanship was its indictment in the Ekiti election scam that brought in Ayo Fayose as governor. The roles of Brig. Gen Aliyu Momoh and Capt Sagir Koli in what became known as the Ekitigate video, and the military’s refusal to investigate the role of its officers and men in this scandal are telling. The Department of State Security goofed when on January 7, 2015, its spokesperson, Marylyn Ogar paraded several men, allegedly belonging to the APC, as planning to hack into the database of the Independent National Electoral Commission. The evidence against these men was flimsy and the fact that INEC has denied any attempt to hack into its system threw the spanner in the SSS’s claims. None of those men the SSS paraded has been presented in court to answer to the allegations against them, further casting doubts over these allegations. Neither has Ms Ogar named the APC members she had alleged in August 2014 of belonging to the Boko Haram group. Similarly, the Nigerian Police Force is another agency that has been partisan in the run-up to the last elections. Note was the roles of officers like Joseph Mbu in terrorizing the APC in Rivers State while serving as the Police Commissioner in the state, harassing Governor Rotimi Ameachi, who would later emerge as Buhari’s campaign chief. Upon his removal from Rivers, Mbu was posted to Abuja, from where he was sent to Lagos, another key state the PDP was eyeing. Many experts believe his deployment to Lagos State as the Police Commissioner ahead of the elections was aimed at using the police to influence the elections in favour of the PDP. How Buhari will deal with the hierarchy of these agencies remains to be seen, but his hands might be tied already, with Jonathan sacking IG Suleiman Abba, four years before he was due for retirement and replacing him with Solomon Arase (from Jonathan’s Niger Delta). The military might have already started its house cleaning, by recently pulling out 31 generals from the force. Also of interest will be how Buhari restructures the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which, under Jonathan’s administrations, plagued by a series of scandals, failed to make any meaningful arrest or successful prosecution. Nigeria’s Foreign Image Nigeria’s image within the international community has never been so low as it has been now. Buhari, in a February 9, 2015 interview with Aljazeera, had said the image of Nigeria running to France to find solutions to the Boko Haram challenge was “very embarrassing”. He is clearly inclined to put Nigeria in the lead in the fight against Boko Haram with neighbouring countries like Chad, Niger and Cameroon in supporting roles, instead of leading the offensive, as was the case until recently. Jonathan’s administration’s handling of the Boko Haram insurgency and in particular the Chibok abductions, which resulted in an international movement that put Nigeria in the news for all the wrong reasons was damaging enough. The icing on the cake was a claim in March that President Jonathan had spoken with the King of Morrocco, when no such conversation occurred, did serious damage to Nigeria’s image, especially after an angry Morocco recalled its ambassador to Nigeria. To improve Nigeria’s image, Buhari and his team must present a more positive body language, make the right assertions at the right times and most importantly show leadership in tackling not only Boko Haram, but issues that affect Nigeria and Nigerians. Continued Fall Of The Naira The president-elect has a task on his hand stemming the continued slide of the naira. The local currency has been on the fall since last year as the price of crude on the international market crashed. The naira plight has been compounded by the pressure the wild political campaign spending put on the dollar, especially from late last year to March this year when the presidential election held. A year ago, the naira exchanged for the dollar on the official market at N165 and ended the year at N183. By last week, it was exchanging for N198.55 to the dollar at the official market. At the parallel market, the value had climbed back to an average of N220 to a dollar, the exchange average before the March 28 presidential election. It, however, eased to below N200 immediately after the election, but has gradually crept up again. On February 25 this year, the CBN was compelled to jack up the naira’s official exchange rate to N198 to a dollar, from the N168 figure (from N155) it had fixed barely three months before then. The shortage of dollars has also affected the country’s foreign reserves value, which fell below $30 billion ($29.5bn) last month, according to Central Bank of Nigeria’s figures, from the $34.493 figure it started with in the year. The continued dip in the foreign reserves value has been attributed to the significant reduction in dollar inflow caused by falling crude oil prices. With no immediate hope of crude price rising sharply on the international market to provide adequate dollars to strengthen the naira at the exchange market, no revenue from other foreign exchange earners like solid minerals and no real options like a strong local productive base, Gen Buhari will have to call on sound management of the economy and prudent spending to rein in the downswing of the naira value. There is fear that continued fall of the naira may spark off serious inflationary pressure that could taint the Buhari administration as a bad manager of the economy. Moreover, the incoming administration will need to work magic to stop the gradual erosion of the foreign reserves - which the CBN has been dipping its hand into to prop up the naira - in the face of inadequate dollar receipts from crude sales. Fuel Crisis Up till last week, the fuel crisis, symbolized in the main by occasional scarcity of petroleum products, especially the premium motor spirit (petrol), had remained intractable. Buhari will have a problem on his hand fixing this monster which has defied a decisive solution for over three decades. Nigerians’ expectations on Buhari to fix the crises in both the petroleum industry and the power sector are high and some are actually seeing him as the last hope on these problems after successive leaders who promised to tackle them not only failed, but left the sectors worse than they met them. In the petroleum industry, Buhari will be confronted with a crisis that is multi-faceted. He will have to decide on what to do with the phases 1 and 2 of the Port Harcourt refinery, Warri refinery and the Kaduna refinery. The wide belief in Nigeria is that, as in other areas of the petroleum industry, deep corrupt practices have always attended the numerous contracts that the federal government has been awarding to repair the rm One thing for sure buhari will fight n defeat corruption n reduce govenments excessiveness .but any one who tinks he wud giv him job,improve the ecinomy,Power supply ,education,security ,infrastructure etc than Jonathan did is Just bin a daydreamer .the truth of the matter is gmb is not a progressive ,he is a core islamist fundamentalist,n bin a president cannot change that .he is a disciple of the hausa/fulani hegemony,n are well known for their retrogression.as for tinubu who is actually a progressive,he n his apc faction wud be brushed aside like a piece of rubbish.

The sole reasons even his former worst enemies rooted for him. That alone is a plus in a predominantly morally bankrupt country like ours that needs redemption. Just sit and watch responsible leadership even as we know there are extremely corrupt individuals in his party like we have all around the country and we know he will never sit and watch them do business as usual. |
