DOES BUHARI DESERVE A SECOND TERM?

DOES BUHARI DESERVE A SECOND TERM?

By Ifeanyi Chukwudi

Muhammadu Buhari came into power with these and many more mouthwatering promises. Many saw the future, saw Buhari for what he truly is and spoke up, but Many were gullible enough to believe that an 83yr old man was the messiah Nigeria had been waiting for. Three years down the line, Nigeria as a nation has taken hundreds of steps backward on all fronts.

It's really pathetic. Take another look at these campaign promises and be the judge yourself.

1. I will reduce fuel price to 45naira per liter.
2. There will be free education at all level.
3. I will pay 23million Nigerians 5,000 monthly.
4. I will increase minimum wage and place every graduate in salary for extra 1 year after their youth service.
5. One free meal (to include fruits) daily, for public primary school pupils.
6. I will revive all our refinery in my first one year in office and build more to produce more for our domestic consumption
7. I will crush Boko Haram in my first 3 months in office.
8. Three million Jobs per year
9. I will stop importation of refined products.
10. Stabilizing the naira.

Muhammadu Buhari is a chronic and unrepentant liar. Nothing he says is true. Now more than ever, Nigeria needs a leader who is true to his words. Nigeria needs a leader who will appeal to all segments of the country, who will clean up our tears and heal our wounds. A leader who will not identify with his tribe and religion alone.

Now more than ever, we need a Leader who truly cares for Nigerians. Buhari has been sick for years (maybe even since he was born). Buhari has been taken out of the country for even the slightest of issues. Buhari is now the President of Nigeria with all the billions Nigeria have at his disposal and can speak to any Head of State he wants to and ask for any kind of assistance. But Buhari has not done anything to improve our healthcare.

Come 2019, we're getting a leader whose priority is the welfare of the Nigerian people.

This is obviously not Muhammadu Buhari.

Two Years in 800 Words: A Handover Note

It is hard to describe in one word, what the past two years have been like, serving as President of FECA Nsukka. It’s been a whole lot of things: demanding, stretchy, and lesson-filled. There were high and low moments, travel experiences, friendships built, goals achieved and shortfalls also. Two years is such a long time and isn’t such a long time all the same. Depends on where you’re looking from. Leadership in FECA, especially in Enugu Zone, isn’t glamorous. There are no perks or special privileges. As President, you are called “Papae” but that is where it ends. A common aphorism one would most likely hear on a handover day is “In FECA, you will spend and be spent.” This is a true saying. FECA leadership places a demand on everything you have to give; your time, energy, money, and so on. FECA would have to be your priority for those two years. You will come to understand that you’ve been called to service, in every sense of the word. You know, when people are told that in God’s hous...

The Political Instrument of Poverty

Mahatma Gandhi said: “Poverty is the worst form of violence”. I agree. For every election rigged in Africa, for every politician that has risen through to power, the poverty of the people was the ladder upon which he rose. This is violent. Subtle, but violent. I will explain using Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. This is a theory in psychology that explains human motivation through five levels of human needs. He argues that, like behaviour and natural intelligences, what motivates you is unique to you and is a combination of your natural motivations and your current social status. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: •Physiological Needs - including Food, Water, Shelter. •Safety Needs - Security, Order, Law. •Social Needs - Love and Belonging. •Esteem Needs - Achievement, Independence, Prestige. •Self-actualization Needs - Personal Growth, Self-fulfillment and so on. The catch is that needs lower down in the hiera...

The Unamalgamable; A Tale of Nigeria’s False Unity

In 1885, at the Berlin Conference, the world's colonial powers sat to divide the African continent into portions amongst themselves. They created countries out of distinct and independent ethnic nationalities without their awareness or consent. These nations had their existing and thriving traditional leadership structures, values and norms, which were undermined by the colonial powers for reasons of selfish economic gain and administrative convenience. Complex nation-states were formed and even arch enemies were brought together under one roof to exist as a country. This is exactly the case of Nigeria; an insanely diverse country, divided into north and south with over 250 ethnic groups speaking over 400 languages. This in itself is bedrock for eternal discord. The amalgamation of Northern and Southern Protectorates to form Nigeria was an attempt by the the British to marry internecine entities. Both regions are unamalgamable and should never have been united. Northern and Sou...
