Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Headlines

Years back, a friend who had worked on the 2011 Major General Muhammadu Buhari presidential campaign told me about the overly enthusiastic responses they had received in the North.

In one instance, he said Buhari’s horde of supporters had not only swarmed the airport where their campaign aircraft was to land, they also practically lifted the aircraft in their joy of the arrival of their “messiah”. That recollection makes it all remarkable that the same Buhari would go to Maiduguri, Borno State, for a condolence visit and be booed by the residents. The dog that once wagged its tail as it saw Buhari approaching now barks with irritation at the sight of him.

Some might want to argue that it is too early to write the obituary of his regime, but one is not merely being pessimistic when observing there is not much left for Buhari other than to mark time till May 29, 2023. He might refurbish a few roads here and there, build some infrastructure in a few places and quickly inaugurate them before leaving office, but there will not be much more than that forthcoming.

In terms of security, Nigeria is not much better off than it was in 2015. Recently, Buhari himself admitted that Boko Haram’s continued existence surprises him. The implication of his astonishment at what Boko Haram has turned out to be — rather than what he assumed they were — is an admission that he never fully understood the complexity of the problem, nor did he prepare to tackle terrorism with the strategic insight it required. Instead, they have gone for propaganda.

As for his alleged fight against corruption, let us agree that Buhari’s poor understanding of what corruption is and the socio-political conditions that impel it, are as much the problem as the issue that it pretends to solve. If Buhari understood corruption, he would have approached his supposed agenda of anti-corruption quite differently.

Buhari’s legacy is already written, and the summary is that the man did too little with what he was given. Anything else is an overwrite.

Right away from day one, i did never expect anything good from that old deaf and dumb man. An outdated person. He should have been called prime Minister of tourism. Just wasting our resources on his personal health and trips that does not yield any good

I am still thinking oo. Pls can you extend the deadline for collation of answer till tomorrow. I need to ask Google and Wikipedia for 1 thing buhari has done in his 5 years as president.

Please, always read an article before you comment or retweet.

Very nice

Pls, read this. Its comprehensive and well stated. The title is the reverse of what was actually written. What an oxymoron. Kudos

If one thing Buhari government has proven is that the northerners themselves will destroy the north and there abundance in government does not by anyway make the North better

Wow, what an interesting write up..

You just need to read the article

Hmmmmmm, God help Nigeria. (Amen)

So sad that adults will just read a headline and draw conclusions without reading a paragraph of the essay. This says alot about how fake news travels fast and how dumb some people could be. Just read if you can.......
