Buhari
When I was starting this blog, I didn't really intend to talk about anything serious. I feel like the real world is already too serious and sad and all that stuff, so this should be somewhere we could all just unwind and giggle a bit or something. But oh well...
In 2015 when President Buhari came into power, I thought he was the perfect man for the job, a candidate that isn't corrupt?, somebody wake me up I must be dreaming. I felt like Nigeria was so tough to rule, our problems weren't much, in fact we just had one. Corruption!. I figured if we have someone taking it head on we'd be good in no time.
His administration came with some hardship that thought was necessary,I thought people that complained were just impatient and couldn't see the bigger picture. Yunno metamorphosis (caterpillar to a butterfly). We were all so used to the PDP regime were everything was almost alright.
In my opinion I think the PDP led government was very cunning, they kept us comfortable enough to not see the bigger issues, pure water was #5 per sachet, petrol was #65 per liter, food was relatively cheap, so nobody really cared that we had 3 refineries that couldn't produce on a commercial scale, nobody cared that we imported almost everything, we didn't have light but we had vision 2020 so all was going well.
The Naira dropped and I was like, "ermm, it's not that bad, we'd bounce back in no time ". I was always optimistic about everything. But honestly?, I think I'm getting tired, I think it's taking too damn long. Before the 2015 elections, PDP had a picture of Buhari in the papers and a quote from him. It went something like "before Nigeria can be great, we first have to suffer to 5 years", baba 5 years ti fe pe o. I don't see anything mega happening, I'm not saying he necessary has to make Nigeria a world power like rn, but we need something, anything. In agriculture, or the power sector, or something big in the military to help with security, or tourism, or fix up the refineries. Yunno? Something big. We're losing hope. Either that or he would go down as the worst president we ever had and we'd be so broken we'd gladly vote for corrupt leaders that will give us some basics and go under and ruin us and generations to come.
I'd like to hear your views?, am I being impatient?

You've practically said everything... It's really tough and not what we expected. I to anticipated that things are gonna be great by the time he stepped in. Honestly I'm just short of words right now.His regime has the worst of all sectors. No infrastructure, poor security, high rise in commodity market, high rise in money market, and so on.. Recently there was a speculation of hiking the fuel price again but dey had to maintain thier lane and hold back. Am sorry but your fear will actually come to past cause he's going down as the worst president ever, which am really ashamed of.. He's gat 3 mores years to go. If there should be anything great it ought to start from this first year and frankly speaking the nigger has no agenda yet...
ReplyDeleteHe's yet to have his ministerial cabinet, the first year is fast approaching to an end, when will dey settle down and begin work.. You know this country we never complete project in first term, you must go for second term before you can complete anything.. And the way it is, I can't see him going for third term which is not possible in this life time... he's even yet to have or should I say confirm his CJN..
Seriously I don't know if this country can move any step further with him.. We're just going down, even a pause would be better in our current situation.. It's really frustrating. .
You seem to have totally lost hope in him lol, I wish for all our sakes he'd do something big soon, cause I don't want to imagine what it'd be like next election. It's be PDP all the way.
DeleteOh well, as a fan of politics I also was optimistic but mehn it felt like we are just moving in circles. Also, our issues started with the budget that the Saraki govt didn't accept on time which delayed many things and buhari got ill. So I want to believe that with the new senate and rep, things would be easier. But on the positive side, Nigerians started taking entrepreneurship seriously during buhari's regime. Soo let's see how it goes
ReplyDeleteOptimism seems like the only weapon we have left now. We can only hope it doesn't go more sideways, as much as I feel there's an underground sect trying to undo him, it's not enough, I mean it can't even be proved. I hope we get out of this soon.
