Nigerians reacting to Buhari's 2-years in office
heheheeh...... President
Muhamamdu Buhari, who is away on a medical trip in London, is two years
in office this week, but how has he managed the economy, secured the
country, and governed Nigeria? Here's what Nigerians have to say about
it.
“If we are talking about Buhari’s administration, to me what Buhari
is doing is okay. As he said, he was coming to fight corruption and
right now, we can see the way the anti-corruption is going. I like
Buhari for what he is doing. To rate him, I’ll give him 80 percent”.
“Actually, according to the price of everything (in market) as the
situation is now, what I would like to tell people is: just bear it,
it’s only a matter of time.
Aliu Abdullahi (a transporter from Kogi state)
“To my own, what they did is quite okay, everything is moving
amicably. There used to be armed robber everywhere but now everywhere is
full of security men and I love that. The only thing there is just the
increase in prices of goods. If it continues this way, the sufferings
will be much but only God can control things.”
“Also, the issue of insurgency in the country has been limited as the government is trying to combat the militants”.
Felix Iheme (from Imo State)
“APC government is nothing to write home about. We can see
Nigerians’ faces all over the road, everybody is crying. We are talking
about recession; we don’t know how long it will keep Nigeria at ransom;
Government sectors are changing workers, Private sector are changing
workers; even the banks themselves are changing workers and now using
casual workers. In the history of Nigeria, we’ve not seen or heard of
such.
“We are highly disappointed in this government as far as I am
concerned because what they promised us before they entered Aso Rock is
not what we are seeing; what we are seeing now is magic. So they need to
come back to the drawing board and look back to solve the problems of
Nigeria, and not going to the media houses advertising themselves”.
Olatunbosun Damisi (a Lagos resident)
“There is nothing to say about the federal (government) because
this situation is affecting the state governments, local governments and
even individuals. So at the federal government level, based on the
economy, there is nothing to write about. I can only rate them 10
percent”.
Ikechukwu James (an IT gadgets’ trader)
“In my own point of view, I don’t believe in the APC-led
administration as an Ibo man because I knew it would be like this. If
you watch out during the time of Jonathan, things were not as hard as it
is now. Although I used to believe in Buhari; but to my greatest
surprise, everything ceased because what he is after only is fighting
corruption while people are suffering.
“On the funds recovered from an Ikoyi house, it’s supposed to be
circulated so that the masses could benefit from it. Just look at the
issue of the closed borders too; I used to buy a bag of rice at N7,000
but now, it’s being sold for about N20,000.
“Although we voted them for change and as a Nigerian, I believe
that change should be functioning. Formerly, I used to make huge amount
of money but now, it is not so”.
Mrs. Ilemobade Modupe (Trader)
“What I can say is that Buhari is not doing good in this
administration; because since he entered government, everything changed.
Before, I take little amount of money to buy some things and it would
be okay but not this time again”.
“I can’t say the administration hasn’t done well because if it were
to be another person, things might get worse than it is now”.
Mr. E.N Ojukwu (a Lagos-based spare-parts dealer)
“Let me start with the situation of a poor man on the street. As of
today, there are lots of poor men in the streets because things are
becoming too hard and there’s no money in the country. Though there may
be money because I learnt the government retrieved huge amount of money
from one Ikoyi house and other places in Nigeria.
“Generally, in this country, things are too expensive; no food, no
light, no water. As citizens of this country, we find it difficult to
eat twice a day. Since three weeks now, there has not been light in my
vicinity, whereas, we have the right to have all these. More so, the
politicians don’t know that the masses are suffering”.
