1. We pilloried Jonathan's administration for maintaining a wasteful 12-aircraft presidential fleet (enough to constitute a modest airline) despite the deepening hardship and cash crunch in the country. In response to initial misinformation from overzealous Buhari supporters about Buhari's decision to sell off most of the aircraft, the administration came out and firmly denied taking such a decision and has continued to maintain the same presidential fleet. This inexplicable resolve to continue with what is universally regarded as a symbol of executive profligacy is not attracting any critical attention from otherwise skeptical citizens. And I don't want to hear the excuse that Buhari didn't buy the aircraft, that he inherited them. 2. Staying with the aircraft theme, the new Customs boss, Col. Hameed Ali, a key Buhari appointee, travels around to conduct official business in a cozy private jet, but he is being praised as a man of action instead of being criticized with the same vehemence with which Mrs. Diezani Allison-Maduekwe, former minister of petroleum, was criticized for doing the same thing. 3. The economy is reeling from Buhari's misguided, counterproductive, and unsustainable policy of defending the naira at all cost by placing primitive and economically unsound restrictions on access to foreign exchange. This currency control has compounded a curious companion policy of decreeing bans on certain imports (both raw materials an finished goods) and wishing that Nigeria would magically begin producing them in spite of structural problems like poor electricity, reliance on imported heavy machinery, expensive borrowing rates, a general poverty of infrastructure, and a volatile policy environment. Our reaction to this cluelessness has been either to stay silent or to praise Buhari’s intentions, as though his lofty intentions outweigh the real damage that this policy is doing to various sectors of the economy. The road to hell they say is paved with good intentions, and we may very well be headed to a figurative hell with the pronouncement by the CBN that Nigeria’s economy will enter recession next year. We scrutinized all of Jonathan's economic policies, taking them apart when they did not make sense. But we seem to have conceded to Buhari the right to make as many mistakes as he wants even at the cost of inflicting serious harm on the economy at a time of low oil prices and a resulting economic contraction. It's almost as if we think that the old man knows best and have suspended our critical faculties as a result. 4. Several bomb blasts rocked the northeastern states of Adamawa and Borno in the course of two days, killing cores of our citizens and puncturing our already fragile security. It took the presidency an entire day to acknowledge the tragedy and offer words of comfort to a beleaguered and traumatized nation and to the victims' families. When Jonathan displayed similar crass indifference to the nihilist violence of Boko Haram and to the victims of the carnage, we spared no outrage in criticizing him and his team. Today, we seem to have given Buhari's government an open-ended benefit of the doubt on the same attitude. 5. When Jonathan failed to articulate a coherent road map for defeating Boko Haram, we rightly called him out on the failure. Buhari has not clued the nation into his grand strategy for ending the insurgency, if one exists. Yet we have not demanded that he communicate clearly with the nation on this. 6. When Jonathan hired some South African mercenaries to help drive out the insurgents from Nigerian's towns and villages, many of us saw that as a humiliating climb down for our army and our country, a testament to the failure to equip and motivate the army to fight at their maximum ability. Then candidate Buhari criticized Jonathan for surrendering and violating Nigeria's sovereignty, pride, and status as a regional power. He said the Nigerian army was capable, by itself, of routing the enemy if properly equipped and motivated. Several days ago, however, we read news, still undenied, that the administration has done exactly the same thing that candidate Buhari angrily condemned. They have quietly hired South African mercenaries to help combat Boko Haram and to meet the December deadline issued by the president. We are yet to hear any serious critique of this decision to continue with a previously criticized Jonathan strategy. 7. When Jonathan travelled to Chad to try to enlist the help of Idris Deby in combating the insurgency, he was mocked for being weak and for groveling before regional minnows. The cantankerous Nasir el-Rufai even suggested in a tweet that the former president had gone to Chad to confer with Deby on how to plan more attacks, an outrageous nod to the conspiracy theories circulating in the north about Jonathan's complicity in, if not sponsorship of, Boko Haram. Today, Buhari's most discernible public gesture in the fight against Boko Haram is his travel around the world and in our region begging for foreign help and corporation. And he seems to have invested all his strategic permutations in the regional force headquartered in Chad. He is, in other words, doing what Jonathan did or tried to do. But the reaction to his actions has been decidedly and radically different. While Jonathan was widely condemned, Buhari is being praised for courting much needed alliances for defeating Boko Haram. 8. When Jonathan appointed (and defended) several people tainted by allegations and revelations of corruption into his government, we rightly expressed our disapproval in very strident language. Today, Buhari has appointed people plagued by weighty and credible allegations of corruption into his cabinet and into key roles in his administration. Instead of dusting up our anti-Jonathan criticism and applying it to Buhari, we have now crafted a new argument for rationalizing this brazen act of self-contradiction by an anti-corruption president. We now argue that the appointees may have been corrupt but that, serving under Buhari, they will not dare touch government money. That may be so, given the personal example of incorruptibility from Buhari, but that does not invalidate the truth that such appointments constitute a reward for corruption — and a bad signal to corrupt officials. Those who should be answering to allegations and revelations of corruption will instead be enjoying the prestige and aura of high office in an administration purportedly anchored on an anti-corruption ethos. This list is not exhaustive. You can add to it. http://saharareporters.com/2015/10/26/giving-buhari-long-leash-setting-him-failure-moses-e-ochonu 8 Likes 5 Shares

Am not an enemy of progress neither am I an enemy of Nigeria, so am only here to list achievements... - boko haram members are running Maiduguri, Yola, Adamawa (and recently Kano) down (having killed over 4 thousand people since May 29). Same set just kidnapped over 100 soldiers, including their weapons. - Fulani herdsmen are distroying farmlands and killing farmers with full force? Presently these useless pests kidnapped my uncle, his wife and son and were paid ransom.. - cancellation of PRESSID. - fuel scarcity. - hike in price of PMS. - banning of small generators and hence crippling small scale businesses. - the economy is already on recession. - fuel scarcity and increase in fuel price is the order of the day. - DSS is been used to fight perceived enemies. - our media no longer dish out reliable news. - the Nigerian Army is now been used to deceive gullible Nigerians and also, instead of fighting boko haram head on, they are busy issuing warnings and dishing out propagandas. - it took the president five - six months to release his thank you/noisemakers' list in the form of ministers (having some of the most corrupt and senile politicians just like the president himself). - no project has been commissioned. - refinery that was due for operation in 2016 was forcefully put to operation and subsequently shut down. - body odour generated power has declined back to it's epileptic state. - de-marketing Nigeria to foreign investors. - confusion everywhere as most statements released by one media aid of the president is refuted by the second aid before the day runs out. - all campaign promises has been denied. - the president converted Nigerian economy to a northern empire by choosing mostly northerners to head important posts and tagging the regions that didn't vote for him as 5 percent. - crime rate has quadrupled. - the only economic direction of the president is blames, blames and multiple blames. - the president misses important functions and goofs at important meetings/interviews abroad. - the president only speaks to Nigeria via BBC Hausa or via foreign media stations while only his aids speak to us via Nigerian stations. - job losses everywhere, with job creation at it's lowest since 1984 (talk about breaking his own record). - JP Morgan delisted Nigeria from its bond index. - fighting perceived enemies and using judges to criminally upturn elections in opposition states. - further deplating our researves by embarking on fruitless journeys outside Nigeria. - running a government where some gullible Nigerians equal performance with number of snapshots pa day, as this administration has been rightfully tagged photocracy. - first ever president to be campaigning after election by making new promises albeit denying the ones made during his presidential campaign. Truthfully, Buhari has achieved a lot but unfortunately/sadly, the achievements were negative ones.. 4 Likes 1 Share |

MISDEED/FAILURE... This is a failure because PMB has failed in his anti-corruption stance. Under his watch, a group of corrupt elements guzzled 25billion naira within a month. For every consultancy job, fees are always paid based on the amount involved, 1% of N2.5tr is huge in a month. No bank makes N25b profit in a month and Lagos average monthly IGR in 2014 was less than that. The Long post below, especially the emboldened and coloured capture my thoughts on the very gaffe of president Buhari. I don't know if this should be termed gross incompetency or gross negligence. Either ways, Buhari has failed Nigerians in this area. [size=14pt]The 25 Billion Naira Fraud And Matters Arising.[/size] HungerBAD: |

FAILURE.... INSURGENCY: 105 Soldiers go missing in the battle against Boko Haram. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3093438_battleboko_png6b8c7c9bb8ddd3f9756f84f24c20342b It is noteworthy that Nigeria is currently being led by a former army general who, before the elections promised to crack down on the seeming hydra headed Terrorist group. The gusto with which he campaigned and raised the hopes of Nigerians seem to be dashed on a daily basis. Just yesterday and two days ago, there were successive bomb blasts in Kano and Yola respectively. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/after-yola-bomb-blasts-kill-15-injure-53-in-kano/226063/ Questions on the minds of well meaning Nigerians are as follows: 1. What was the current state of Boko haram before the past government handed over 2. If they were almost annihilated, what could be the reason behind their brazen resurgence? 3. During the last administration, we heard complaints of insufficient weapons as a major reason why the NA wasn't winning the war just before the run up to the elections; knowing fully well, the Buhari led FG has not so much as bought a Pin to fight the insurgence, why aren't we hearing even gorrier tales of old and woeful equipment? 3 Likes 1 Share |

The new govt however should not blame the last administration for her weaknesses. On protest, why would I? Irrespective of the performance of any administration, I will survive. |
