TonyeBarcanista:Buhari's start off was very poor. From the ministerial appointments, forex policies, food importation and the budget drama. I totally agree with your "buhari start up" remark. So many bad policies from the start 10 Likes |

freeze001:Apart from the noise from the media and others who don't like this government, till today, I have not seen disregard for court judgement/orders EXCEPT in Dasuki's case when he was deliberately prevented from traveling out to escape justice. In Kanu's case, a court actually granted him bail for an offence but he still had the treason offence hanging on him by then. Till date, I submit that no single case of disregard for court orders has taken place under PMB. If two courts set you free but you have cases with six courts, you don't expect the authority to let you go. That's what is happening with many of those cases. So, in my opinion, this regime scores 8 out of 10 here. In this same subject is conduct of elections. It is known record that the statutory time given for conduct of rerun elections have long elapsed. Results of some conducted in Rivers state haven't been announced and those areas elections haven't been conducted in remain same. Imo and Anambra states still have outstanding elections. This implies that some states are losing vital representation at Federal level. That again is an absolute 0/10 because once again, there is no justification.This can only come under the scorecard of INEC and its chairman. Not of the president's. Except we're saying he should meddle in the affairs of INEC and make it no longer "independent". 2 Likes |

if this is what dropshot had to say, then it shows that this government have not only done below expectation, but have not measured up to the immediate past government. TSA: The government have not been able to come out clean on TSA. They only call out Trillions, just to mesmerize the citizenry. Nigerians can not point to any benefit of the so called TSA as the government have consistently said, they don't have money. so what is the TSA for? What the TSA did was just a tool to mop up liquidity and make banks and other MDAs broke. This has adversely affected the economy as the banks seem not to have money, agencies can't have money to spend, waec and the likes are in a long drawn battle with the FG, people have less money to spend as MDAs can't even fund simple repairs in their offices confusion everywhere. The cover-up is just the "corruption "word that have been the only defense of this government. Cost of Governance: It is hypocritical to mention this when there's no much money to spend. The fact is, this government have the propensity of reckless spending as seen in the budget of 6 trillion without commensurate income. Look at how much is budgeted for the excesses of the president and the VP. not forgetting Aso rock clinic, feeding, recreation, presidential BMWs, Repairs, electrical fittings etc. Fact is they are waiting for oil price to increase so they can unleash the dragon. We will stop that one. I can assure you. On Boko haram: Sorry you may not like me, but boko haram is political or politics gone wrong. If we can't tell why boko haram killed nigerians, destabilized government, bombed churches, kidnapped chibok girls, and their source of funding, it remains a horror script. Good .they should just stop. whatever is making them stop now was done before now, yet they didn't stop. On corruption: All looters should be brought to book but the looters close to the president are all safe. if the president thinks his campaign wasn't funded through stolen funds, then he should be ashamed of himself. On Economy: We can put all the blame on GEJ if we like, we can also drag him into every argument just to insulate buhari. The fact is, no government had a 100% perfect economy when they came in. They all had a lot to do. HOWEVER, THE ECONOMY WAS NOT THIS BAD WHEN GEJ WAS PRESIDENT. FACT!!! The only credentials of this government for now is the Theatrical fight against some PDP looters and the baseless optimism by sycophants. 18 Likes |

DropShot: Dasuki's case has been adjourned about 3 times because he has been prevented from conferring with his legal representatives in preparation for his defence. Depositing all travel documents with the court and ensuring diligent checks at all borders is the way to go to prevent an accused from jumping bail. He can even be placed on the no-fly list, he can be required to sign in at a police station close to him every day...there's just no reason to deliberately disregard court orders! Another case has been Jonathan's cousin that even the judge had some choice words for the EFCC. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/court-slams-efcc-continued-detention-jonathans-cousin/ Remind me again why the court has awarded judgment of #10B damages against the FG for illegal detention of Uche Secondus. http://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/04/08/court-awards-n10bn-damages-against-efcc-for-detaining-secondus/ On the ruling stopping increase in electricity tariffs, what's the status? For INEC, I mentioned perception is key. Now who appoints the INEC chair? When he fails in carrying out his statutory function who's responsibility is it to call him to order or kick him out? Going by our strong tribal divisions and fault lines, whose interests does it serve that Rivers, Anambra and Imo State are not fully represented? The North or South? Hope u can see why perception matters especially when the president is notorious for his 97% and 5% theorem. I don't quite see a response to federal character and appointments. Are we agreed on scores for that aspect? 4 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:In your record, PMB has failed long before he was sworn in just because you were bitter by your defeat at the polls. Remeber how you used to force-feed us with articles of failure right from the first week of his administration? So, you were already seeing failure even without facts. I am confident this president will not do worse than GEJ at the end of the day. And he still has three solid years to prove himself.

freeze001:As I told you earlier, Dasuki has not been granted bail by ALL courts hearing his numerous cases. Not until all courts involved individually grant him bail and FG refuses to honor such order may we say the government has failed to obey the courts. Read http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/federal-high-court-denies-granting-dasuki-others-n250m-bail/ Another case has been Jonathan's cousin that even the judge had some choice words for the EFCC.This is the latest news in the Jonathan's cousin prosecution. Always stick with the most current news and not media propaganda.

DropShot: The target should not be not doing worse than Jonathan, that would be lowering the bar and highlighting the ethnic undertones y'all seek to hide. It had better be that this government does way better than any other government from 1999 till date so that the difference between '16 years of rot by PDP' and the saintly years of APC can be seen and experienced by the common man on the street. Let's not go into the players in the 16yrs and the current players now. The first 4 yrs will determine their continuation as ruling party because Nigerians deserve better. Year 1 isn't exactly promising by any standard. 3 Likes |

DropShot: Shebi na result we dey call so? All I'm trying to do is make sure all areas are covered and given as proper a score as possible. It is perfectly alright and logical for me and any well meaning Nigerian to deduce the success or failure of any govt from its performance in one year. In the course of that year it is also proper to point out errors or successes because it's all part of continuous assessment until the end of every one year and then the grand finale of election year. In other words, it is obvious they have performed far below expectations despite the hype and gives me stronger cause to write them off. Still diehard optimism makes us hope for better but when the obvious steps of decentralisation, full national discourse and transparent accountability is not even being considered it makes it difficult to even find a positive to hold on to. Bottom line: They have failed Year 1 but will not be rusticated yet. May 29th 2015 to May 28th 2016 is a resounding fail on basic indices of development as far as Nigerians are concerned. 6 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:How did you get to know the resolve of Nigerians? If anything can be deduced from reaction to the last subsidy removal, it's an indication Nigerians still believe and trust PMB to come with the goods despite obvious economic hardship. If not, the strike and protest will have been successful. If PMB fails to deliver by 2019, Nigerians will surely not hesitate to sack him BUT trust Nigerians not to go back to PDP that pauperized them through reckless looting for sixteen years despite unrivaled earnings. |

Its not paper propaganda, the same 'paper propaganda' states that Nigeria is presently in a stage of stagflation heading to recession; everyone can fill it. 2015 before handover, 'paper propaganda' stated that Nigeria met d millinium development goal on agriculture and food production two years ahead of 2015 target set by the United Nations, thereby earning a special award by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations- Nigerians felt it in cost of food items. 3 Likes 1 Share |
