“If everybody & group is getting their contracts at Aso Rock without Due Process as is our custom before now & the treasury not under the eagle eye of TSA, BVN, IPPIS & many other CBN regulations; if nobody is asked to return any loot, fraud & drug cartels rule our land; nobody will be talking about insecurity, unemployment, nepotism & hunger in the land today.”
With the way we have wickedly cut a thousand bleeding wounds on the best president ever in the history of this country, I doubt any president coming after Buhari will ever attempt to fight corruption.

You are free to disagree here, but you must come with figures.
Inspite of 50 times less revenue than the previous government, this administration in just 5 years has employed more Nigerians in the public sectors & created more jobs in the private sectors more than previous administrations in the last 40 years combined ever employed.
This administration in just 5 years has invested in Security, Infrastructure, Poverty eradication, social intervention programmes, Workers welfare, remunerations & minimum wage, Diversification of the economy, Food security, Agriculture, Education, Health care, Social amenities, Power & in every area of governance & development 100 times more that the Umbrella Pirates sponsoring the destabilization of Nigeria today ever did in 16 years of humongous oil revenues.
My statistics are ready for whoever wants to argue.
But why the hate & bleeding of President Buhari in a thousand places?
Because we are a country where the performance of the leader is judged by our closeness as individuals & ethno-religious groups to the government, to the treasury & how much we are able to help ourselves from the porridge pot.
We are a country where standards are dictated by primitive ethno-religious sentiments, selfish interests & an entitlement mentality not by what the law says, ethics, ideals & verifiable performance indexes.
For 6 years, Igbos held 85% of all key federal appointments & key federal elective offices. From Secretary to the Government of the Federation to the Chief of Army Staff, IGP(briefly), Road Safety, Ministries of Finance, Petroleum, Interior, Aviation, Labour etc, Deputy Senate President & Deputy Speaker HoReps etc.
Yet, no infrastructure was built in Igboland nor anywhere in Nigeria, no employment, no investment in Agriculture, social & food security, no new industries built nor foreign ones attracted, no recruitment nor training in the military & police & no single equipment was bought for the military & police in 6 years despite the fact that the country was under the siege of Bokoharam in the North, OPC in the West, Niger Delta militants in the South South & MASSOB/IPOB terrorists in the East — all of them creations of the Umbrella thieves who are pontificating today with their miserable pathetic apologists & useless objective critics about economy, insecurity & calling Buhari a failure.
Jonathan could not build the high way to his region (East West Road). Second Niger bridge & all the highways in the South East were campaign jingles for PDP for 16 years, Jonathan could not even build the road to his village, Otueke neither could he provide a single borehole of good drinking water for his village Otueke.
But he is their best president & the reason millions of Nigerians today hate & want Buhari dead since 2015. They hate & want dead the man who has provided all of the above in 5 years including a road to their loved Jonathan’s village Otuoke & delivered a gigantic good drinking water project for the people of Otueke.
Yes, because they all shared the 51 trillion naira Nigeria earned from oil revenues alone in 6 years under Jonathan & over 30 billion dollars he borrowed for spurious purposes in the same period of huge oil windfalls, went into their private pockets under him while 120 million Nigerians lived below poverty line in 2012. More than 10 trillion naira NDDC & Amnesty funds dissappeared into their private pockets under him & 500 thousand barrels of crude oil allocated everyday for local refining when they know they have already killed the refineries were sold & the money for the 500 thousand barrels shared among them.
Which one we go talk leave the other! Nigeria was a corruption haven.
Malabu oil deal, P&ID, etc were multi billion dollars scams whose proceeds went to their private pockets.
Nigeria was systematically being bled to death.
Even the cassava bread, rural women stove & multi million dollars cctv camera, we no see! Which one we go ask about leave the other!!
100 billion naira voted out for cattle ranches across Nigeria disappeared into private pockets & farmers/herders clashes now rebranded as Fulani herdsmen attacks handed over to Buhari to destabilise his government.
That is what Nigerians want!
Civil servants never cared nor care if they are been owed 20 years salaries, allowances & pensions. They were at the centre of the loot & were all billionaires. Now, they hate Buhari who is employing & destroying their multi billion naira employment & ghost workers rackets with BVN & IPPIS. The civil servants, umbrella thieves & their bank directors accomplices are not happy with the TSA & BVN that has returned stolen Nigerian money to CBN & many have abandoned stolen billions in the banks exposed by BVN for fear of going to jail.
Their multi billion dollars Import waivers, smuggling & substandard goods rackets are been dealt death blows by the Customs under Hameed.
Look at what is happening in JAMB. An agency that collected 15 billion naira in 6 years from the FG under Jonathan as running cost only returned ordinary 50 million naira as revenue for 6 years after selling hundreds of millions of forms for 5 thousand naira each. But under Oloyede appointed by Buhari, JAMB has reduced registration fees from 5,000 naira to 3,500 naira yet in the past 4 years has remitted close to 30 billion naira to the FG.
The list is endless!!
Share the money with no care for tomorrow. That’s what we want. We don’t want accountability, transparency, good governance, food security, employment, security of lives & properties.
We simply want our corruption back. And that’s what all these hypocritical cricket noises about unemployment, hunger in the land, exchange rate, nepotism, fulani herdsmen & insecurity is all about.
Let no idiotic hypocrite come wailing in my wall except you have empirical evidence supported by clear figures that shows Buhari has performed poorer than his 16 years predecessors in any area of governance & development that is the subject of your moronic wailing.
