People like you are the worst set of human beings ever created by God. The reason being that you defend every step of the person you support even when they're wrong. And when anyone criticizes his own preferred choice so as to make them perform better, you also see them as looking for cheap applause from sycophants like you.

Fyi, this govt is our govt. I mean it's the govt of those of us who believe in its ability to perform. And we have the duty to voice out our concerns when we see the need to do so. Criticizing PMB doesn't translate to regretting supporting him to be president. Should we need to do the last election again, between him and GEJ, we will still give PMB the mandate.

Get a life.

@ Dropshot

Perception is key. I know Nigeria has never had it smooth in terms of unity and oneness. However, it is important that we have a leader who serves as a unifying image while ensuring full respect of distinct tribes and religions.

I will therefore suggest another heading under the negatives:

RULE OF LAW

A decent, democratic society recognises the tenets of upholding the rule of law as paramount because every other function of society is bound by the law. Success or descent into a crass, uncouth and lawless existence is dependent on the will to uphold the rule of law on that part of the government and its citizens.

Appointments into federal offices have seen the most skewed representation of regions in recent times. It amounts to a direct negation of the federal character principle enshrined in the Constitution and is supposed to bring some unification however superficial. However we have a complete, in your face nepotism in favour of the NE and NW. Security which is paramount is almost completely in the hands of the highest perpetrators of insecurity ie boko haram and Fulani herdsmen all from the north. Evidently federal character is interpreted in this regime as electoral, ethnic and religious affiliation with the president. That in my opinion is enough to whip up sentiments and cannot be overruled. It's a -1/10 for Mr President and the APC because it's wilful and deliberate. Clear instance is NTA, the 3 Directors in line to be DG are all from the South so Mr President pulls an abokī out of retirement to head the outfit. Awesome isn't it?!

This government particularly the DSS and EFCC have gained unpleasant notoriety for disregarding court rulings. They procure illegal holding charges which the Supreme Court has declared unlawful in various judgments. That's a major gaffe and calls for an absolute score of 0/10. There simply is no justification for refusing to obey court rulings. You have a problem, appeal it.

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.

So many threads are been opened to show his supposed 1 year achievement(s) if any. If the old man has done anything, it will speak for itself. No need struggling hard to sell a very bad product..

4/10 is 40% not 48% please.

5. Despite criticism of his numerous travel abroad, discerning minds now know that Nigeria is gradually regaining her battered image in the comity of nations. The president had been recognized guest in many very important international functions where his efforts were recognized as well. It is our hope that by the time PMB completes his first tenure, our image will have been further improved globally.

Let me help you here.

You do NOT improve your image with the international community by junketing aimlessly around the world; this method, if indeed it is a method, is prehistoric and completely deleterious. I do not know who sold Buhari this idea, or how he managed to sell this idea to most Nigerians.

I live in the West and I've had the privilege of travelling quite often across many countries. At the last World Economic Forum on Africa, which was held in Kigali, I was there. I write for a few international papers on my views about the economy, youth influence and politics in Africa- primarily the first two.

At Kigali, Rwanda was the darling of most persons, countries and organisations. And rightly so. Their rise, from a a horrendous genocide in 1994 in which much of the international community were ambivalent, to perhaps East Africa's main powerhouse is remarkable. Today the UN does not make plans for Somalia, the EU does not discuss with East Africa, the United States hardly does business with East and Central Africa unless Mr Kagame or his representative is there.

By the way, I did not see much of Nigeria at Kigali...

Much of the respect from the international community on any country is gotten from internalised dynamics than the PR campaign of travelling around the world. Fix your home. Set up reforms. Set up a consistent and clear economic policy. Institutionalise governance and whatever is your government's priority and then churn out results- good, impressive results. This is what Rwanda did. That is why the plan Kagame is currently undertaking, which will extend his time in office, isn't as heavily antagonised by the West or much of the internal community. His country is working, the people want him, so why bother to effect regime change?

Obasanjo, Ya Ardua and GEJ, for much of their bad attributes, understood these. Much of what is hailed about Nigeria in the global community today, was started by these men. Democratisation of the political space; institutionalising the fight against corruption- EFCC, ICPC; the telecommunications boom; economic stability which meant that Nigerians did not feel the 2008-2011 global recession; the banking reforms; the Niger Delta non-violent government intervention; the exponential increase in GDP figures... I could go on and on. Ask any Nigerian who lived in the West; we were beginning to get very proud of our country. I had so much invitation to speak at international panels in 2013-2015 to tell people what 'Nigeria was doing differently'.

This was pride. You think the West do not know what is actually happening in Nigeria, the global community is confused by the inane propaganda churned by Mr Lai's APC? Trust me, they are not foolish.

Get the homestead right. Junketing around the world and telling them that Nigerians are criminals and are 'fantastically corrupt' wouldn't earn Nigeria any respect anywhere-unless you want to delude yourselves.

Buhari's first year was a huge disappointment. He started off in the most clueless manner and got worse in his cluelessness. His one year presidency was filled with nepotism, maladministration, fraud, insincerity, Fulani and northern supremacy, and everything evil.

May God grant us the grace to endure the next three years of Mr President.
