Having been sworn in on May 29, 2015, President Buhari has completed two months at the helms of affairs of our nation. As short as this period seems, it's important to take a critical and unbiased look at what the PMB/VPYO presidency has been able to achieved or failed to achieve.

1. Increase in Our Foreign Reserves:
As at May 29, 2015, the value of our foreign reserves stood at $29.1bn (down from $43.16bn in Jan 2014 http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/01/30/nigeria-reserves-idUSL6N0V90ZL20150130). Due to blocking of leakages and loopholes which were the order of the day under GEJ, our foreign reserves has witnessed a steady growth and now boast of almost $32bn as at July 7th, 2015. This is an impressive addition of about $3bn in less than two months! We can only imagine what it could have been had GEJ blocked those loopholes in all the years he stayed in office.
Read it here please http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/emefiele-nigeria-s-external-reserves-now-31-89-billion/214192/

Hear Emefiele the CBN Governor on the foreign reserves: “I must use this opportunity to commend the efforts of President Muhammadu Buhari for his dogged approach in seeing that all loopholes are blocked."

2. Bail-out Package to States:
Prior to his coming as president, many states of the federation were massively indebted to their workers such that many of them were owing between 8 and 10 months salaries to their workers. When the problem was becoming a national embarrassment, the president approved a bail-out package to all states to bring succor to the affected workers. Under the N713.7bn package, N413.7bn was a special intervention fund (from proceed paid by LNG) while the remaining N300bn was a soft loan from the CBN to be repaid from the state's subsequent allocation.

In addition, The Debt Management Office (DMO) is expected to assist states to restructure over N660billion commercial loans crippling their economy. With the development, President Buhari has stopped deduction of monthly allocations to states at source. Instead, the Federal Government will “use its influence to guarantee the elongation of the loans for the benefit of the states.”

3. Modest Success Against the BH Terrorists:
While it will be unpatriotic to claim a satisfactory success in this regard, it will amount to an act of insincerity to fail to acknowledge that the NA have now taken the fight to the terrorists in recent weeks. The fact that BH group now results to suicide bombing is a clear sign of desperation and frustration from a group facing impending defeat. When Boko Haram was very potent, they sacked many military barracks, controlled many local governments and were always ready to face the army in a battle. The situation has completely changed and the terrorists are now on the run.

Read some of the successful operations against the BH here https://www.nairaland.com/2490229/nigerian-army-conducts-successful-raid and here https://www.nairaland.com/2484987/nigerian-military-rescues-22-children.

Contrary to the wicked lies being peddled by the wailers, there was never a time PMB promised to end BH insurgency in two months. The first time the lie was reported was during the last electioneering campaign and APC almost immediately refuted the report. Again, when he was interviewed by Amanpour as a president elect and was asked a related question, he said "in few months" and not "two months". Read here http://dailyindependentnig.com/2015/04/didnt-promise-end-insurgency-two-months-buhari/

4. Serious Undergoing Efforts to Recover Our Stolen Money: FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION
Before now, the mantra was "stealing is not corruption". Now it is "Stealing Is Now Corruption" and all treasury looters have started feeling the heat.

Apart from efforts being made locally in this regard, it was the other major reason the president was invited to USA. Despite what the wailers will have us believe, PMB himself has recently said that he has received from USA, some documents that will assist Nigeria in tracking and recovering our stolen money from the looters. Read it here please http://www.punchng.com/news/us-gave-buhari-names-of-oil-thieves-source/ .

Similar efforts are being coordinated with UK, Switzerland, France and others. Read here also http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-traces-looted-funds-to-uk-switzerland-others/

Is it not then an absurdity to read many wailers shouting blue murder whenever we read that EFCC or DSS invites some treasury thieves for questioning? It is absurd because every sane person knows that PMB/VPYO campaigned on the three main cardinal points of ending insurgency, fighting corruption and improving the economy. So, if he fails to go after those who have stolen their future and that of their unborn generations, will the president be deemed successful in his campaign promise?

5. Refineries now Working:
I know many including some PMB supporters will be quick to point me to the president statement that he didn't do anything to make the refineries work. That is another sterling quality of the president but wait, I have some pertinent questions for you.

* Did NNPC/GEJ not tell us in Feb 2015 that N99bn was needed by Nigerian engineers to fix the refineries or not as contained here? http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nigerian-engineers-to-repair-refineries-for-n99bn-nnpc/

* Did NNPC and GEJ's team not tell us in March of this year that $550 million was needed to fix the refinery or not? give us as contained here? http://thenationonlineng.net/new/nnpc-to-repair-refineries-with-550m/

* On March 6, 2015 (before the election), did GEJ/NNPC not tell us that refineries will not work before 2016 or not? http://nationalmirroronline.net/new/refineriesll-be-back-on-stream-2016-nnpc/

There is no report anywhere that any of the requested sums was paid by the FG to NNPC, yet the refineries have started working!

The fact remains that, had GEJ won the election, the refineries would not have worked, even in 2016. We traveled that deceitful routes with jonathan many times before.

The fact that PMB is known to be on a mission on corruption; with NNPC the number one priority, is what has made NNPC to quickly put its acts together and bring the refineries on board.

Btw, I already did a comprehensive thread on this here https://www.nairaland.com/2392387/buhari-not-jonathan-responsible-refineries

6. Improved Electricity:
Only the bigots will deny the fact that electricity has improved compared to GEJ's era. The miracle we're witnessing here is similar to what is happening with refineries. The Transmission Company of Nigeria has continued to achieve one peak or the other since the coming of PMB. Is it another coincidence? No, it is not.

Through FG's efforts, there have been improvement in gas supply to the generating stations. These generating stations have been there since GEJ's era, how come they couldn't get gas supply despite government granting suppliers various loans? The answer is that the suppliers and some PHCN big wigs connive to elope with the loans while keeping Nigerians in darkness. But with a new Sheriff in town, they dare not try the same nonsense. End of story. https://www.nairaland.com/2487750/again-tcn-records-new-power#36402389

7. Nigeria Image Boosted:
I don't think I need to say much here as comments from notable citizens and international figures are a testament to this fact. Even, PDP has been somehow forced to eat the humble pie when they declared that "Buhari is the only clean man in APC". To many of us, this is a huge difference between the two parties. After all, PMB/VPYO are the representatives of the change we fought for.

To attempt to put things into perspective, take a good look at the Nigeria PMB inherited from the Otuoke man.

God Bless Nairaland
God Bless Patriotic Nigerians
God Bless PMB/VPYO
God Bless Nigeria

as expected.....

let me read

I will appreciate anyone with contrary opinions to come forth with them. Let us debate in a civil manner for the purpose of educating some of the forumites here.

Thanks.

The Morning Mourners at work

I said it, I said he will create a thread to defend Buhari and it happened, I must be a prophet!... I knew PassingShot was coming with a counter after the blow you zombies received from barcanista. Eiyaa...No wonder they attack barca, and leave the message being passed across.

Anyway... Since Presidiot Buhari took over;

1. Bokoharam attacks has skyrocketed since the present administration took over, I don't know why Buhari don't want to tackle them head on, maybe because he's sympathetic to their ideology. Do you remember these famous declarations.
* "An attack on Bokoharam is an attack on the north"
* "I will continue to support the spread of Sharia throughout Nigeria".
The above statements were all made by Buhari.

2. The Naira's value has greatly plummeted, The Naira is being exchanged for #245 to a Dollar at present. But Buhari said he will make a Naira equal to a Dollar.
**waiting**

3. We have become a laughing stock in the comity of nations because of the senile man running the affairs of the country, Imagine a president creating a new country of 'West Germany', A president who doesn't know the meaning of "inclusive development", A president who doesn't know the meaning of his party. (disregard the OP's seventh point, It's all hogwash)

4. The Liar OP still went ahead to credit the working of the refineries to Buhari, even after the man has denied it. That's to tell you the kind of propagandists that are found in APC.

5. He said power supply has improved, Yes, that is right. Now help me ask him which power plant Buhari built since he took over in may, Has he appointed a Power minister?... No!. Has Buhari drafted and implemented any power reform...No!. Besides, we are in the rainy season and the water level in the dams are high, This will naturally result to an increase in power supply. As a matter of fact, the improved power supply is as a result of the past administration's power reforms. PassingShot is a pathetic liar, believe him at your own peril.

6. Since Buhari came on board, It's been further Northernization of the country through his appointments and actions. There's no need to talk much on this, It's glaring even to the zombies.

7. The present government has turned governance to a joke, Like I said before, It's now a PHOTOCRACY not a DEMOCRACY.

Bonus: He said foreign reserves has increased, Yes, Why won't it increase??...Buhari has not embarked on anything tangible like capital projects, contracts, etc. So it's bound to increase.

I'm not a fan of writing long epistles like Gbawe, so I'll halt here. Over to the wanking Zombies.

Nairaland house of thread and counter thread......

To all Nigerians is too early to condemn and commend the administration of PMB. And i Just pray things get better and the only way for this right decision by the president..So I pray for right decision from him

A matured guy can't put up this jargon you call a post.
Don't you have respect for your elders?

I no fit laugh

Modest indeed.

All Uncle Bubu wanted was to sleep in Aso Rock but it is unfortunate that his sai chanting madmen and women don't just see it.

Menh! Bubu deserve to be beaten to death with a sledge hammer - I hate saying things I can't deliver but how a 75 yr old man chooses that path surprises me all the time .

Passingshit, when are we going to be free from your shiity thread in this section?

then please, 1 naira to 1 dollar is very necessary o

There is no hope for this administration... All Progressive Clowns should really work on their ovation over Buhari...who's busy snoring in cameron and other countries he's been travelling to have a sound sleep.

It will take President Buhari an understanding of governance to know what subsidy is and how to go about it for the benefit of the economy and itspeople....He is yet to have an understanding of the name of his party and what it represents let alone a bigger national concerns as subsid

Bailout package for states is unrivalled success?

C'mon PassingShot, you are making a mockery of your party. This thread is uncalled for.

Lies upon Lies....
Thieves overtaking thieves.

One thing i know and the thing is...







Mtchew, i don forget shaa

Correct!

1. Foreign reserve while nigerian naira is getting more valueless than cedis.

2. He is just paying part of his debt, same money that was used to campaign for him.

3. Which success before gej handed over bh was attacking only from sambisa, but immediately he handed over buhari demolished every checkpoints giving bh access into cities, they even rented houses to perpetrate their evil, what buhari planned to do is to make it seem as if gej didn't do anything about bh, then he will use the same arms procured by the same clueless one as they call him to fight the war that was almost won before hand over, so tell me who is now clueless and dumb.

4. My contribution, buhari should retain the position of minister of tourism for himself because it really suits him.

ApexTitan:
Bailout package for states is unrivalled success?

C'mon PassingShot, you are making a mockery of your party. This thread is uncalled for.

It is. Any contrary opinion is appreciated.
Besides, we're talking of two months here.

Counter the points raised or ...... you know nah.

Buhari and his online dogs/sycophants think the only way they can fulfil their electoral promises is by running down his predecessor. On one hand they tell us there was nothing good about the last govt and on another they try to flaunt some of the programmes and policies of the last administration as theirs.

They've abandoned their electoral promise of building brand new refineries to now fighting over who takes credit for rehabilitation of existing refineries. The promise of adding 5000 megawatts to the national grid annually has been thrown to the dogs while the govt and his sycophants now expends energy on who should take credit for recent noticeable improvement in power supply.

They no longer talk about making #1=
$1 but now talks about paltry increases in foreign reserve. All ongoing federal projects are on a standstill currently, except those whose funding line was secured by the last govt such as the second Niger bridge and Lagos-Ibadan road.

This is a govt that talks about fighting corruption but has elevated nepotism and tribal bigotry to state policy. Over 95 percent of federal appointments made so far has been for northerners. Is nepotism not a worst form of corruption? The last time we had it this bad was in 1983-85 and it was one of the basis for which that govt was toppled.

In the last govt people were complaining about pace of federal projects, but for the current govt, we're still begging it to take off more than 4 months after winning an election.

That is what you get in a one chance govt led by masturbators. Aka govt of mouth action. May God deliver us all!

God bless you, passingshot. In summary, the achievement of PMB is the fact that he is restoring sanity to a country gone "mad".

We voted Buhari in to make things happen in this country and he is doing it. May God see him through.

Let those that will wail, continue to wail. Even when in chains and tied to a tree, a monkey will stil jump. You can't stop them from wailing.

DrLee:
then please, 1 naira to 1 dollar is very necessary o

Go and find me where Mr.Buhari personally said that he will make 1 dollar equal to 1 naira. There was once a thread offering up to 3 million Naira or more for those who can provide a credible source for this lie.

Sai Buhari.

All these undisputed facts were achieved without appointing a single minister! This shows that all this country needs is a strong and incorruptible leader like GMB.

Most wailers may choose to disagree especially with points 5 and 6, but to discerning minds, the facts stated by the op is the only viable explanation for the miraculous improvements in those sectors.

This is just the beginning of a brand new great Nigeria.

SeverusSnape:

Anyway... Since Presidiot Buhari took over;

1. Bokoharam has has intensified their attack

No. Suicide attack has increased and it's a sign of desperation and frustration. And that is also in decline now

2. The Naira's value has greatly plummeted.

Yes, in black market. It remains 197 through the official means (the banks).

3. We have become a laughing stock in the comity of nations because of the senile man running the affairs of the country, Imagine a president creating a new country of 'West Germany', A president who doesn't know the meaning of "inclusive development", A president who doesn't know the meaning of his party. (disregard the OP's seventh point, It's all hogwash)

On the contrary, we have become more appreciated. If you have evidence to what you say bring it.

4. The Liar OP still went ahead to credit the working of the refineries to Buhari, even after the man has denied it. That's to tell you the kind of propagandists that are found in APC.

Read, read and read my friend.

5. He said power supply has improved, Yes, that is right. Now help me ask him which power plant Buhari built since he took over in may, Has he appointed a Power minister?... No!. Has Buhari drafted and implemented any power reform...No!. Besides, we are in the rainy season and the water level in the dams are high, This will naturally result to an increase in power supply. PassingShot is a pathetic liar, believe him at your own peril.

Good you agreed that power supply has increased. GEJ neither built any power plant too. The reason for increase in the power transmitted as explained by the TCN is already given to you.

Typing....

Just like BH suicide bombings are a sign of weakness, your insults are too.

PassingShit will never cease to daze me with his lack of political will.......can somebody tell me what is positive about this government for these 2 months?
