Nigerians Slam President Buhari, Say He Lacks Ideas As Petroleum Minister

Nigerians on Twitter responding to a poll by SaharaReporters on the capacity of President Muhammadu Buhari as Minister of Petroleum have said he lacks ideas on how to manage the country’s top revenue generator.

Buhari recently increased the pump price of petroleum from N145 to N161 per litre, a move widely condemned in the country.


The poll had a total number of 8,046 respondents with 82 per cent of that number voting that he lacks ideas to run the ministry, which he has occupied for six years. 

Ten per cent said he was innovative while eight per cent of those, who participated in the poll chose to remain indifferent.

One respondent @Asegun_ni_mi said the President lacks intellectual credentials to bring change to the petroleum industry in the 21st century. 

He said, “He lacked any intellectual or credential qualifications to bring quality ideas to the table in the petroleum industry in the 21st century. His extensive experience were in herding cows, planting crops and the military. Yet he avoided Agric and Defense portfolios.”

@Universalskill3 tweeted, “@MBuhari Only you President, same you also doubles as Minister of Petroleum all in the same Nigeria. @OfficialAPCNg what did we do to deserve this kind of mediocre and clueless leadership. @APCUKingdom.”

@nyonge believes restructuring and a revised electoral act will make the difference to the petroleum industry.

He said, “Minister of Petroleum not all about fuel. LNG train7 doing fine, Dangote refinery coming up fine, BUA planning 200k bbls refinery in Akwa Ibom, Deziani’s fraud uncovered, fuel queues gone, We’ll can only improve. Revised electoral act and restructuring will make things better.”

@sunnyladi1 tweeted, “No one has ever fared well in that ministry, in as much as the free money is still free, no ideas will ever berth at their brain. Not just PMB alone, it’s been every successive govt, free money has the power to brainwash even the brightest of the brightest to become olodo.”

@OlugbengaOgunl1 said since Buhari took over the reins of the country, there has been no fuel scarcity. 

He said, “There has been no fuel scarcity since he became President. Nigerians will not remember that. I’ll prefer fuel to be available no matter the price than the dark days of N80 per liter but scarcely available.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...

TYPES OF DRAMA II

Comedy: We use the words 'comedy' and comic to describe something that is funny in our everyday lives. These include a joke or a fantastic story that is full of nonsense, or an absurd appearance that makes us giggle, smile or laugh. Comedy is not inherent in things or people but the way things/people are perceived. Comedy is a deliberate presentation of events/experiences drawn from real life but not the same with real life. We should therefore not expect dramatic comedy to be the same as real life. Generally, the plays have good endings or resolutions, so when a play ends happily, we refer to it as comedy. In most comedies, the principal characters begin in a state of opposition either to one another or to their world or both. By the end of the play their opposition .is replaced by harmony. Aristotle in-.his “Poetics” insisted that in tragedy men are shown “better than they are”, while in comedy “worse than they are”. For him it is an artistic imitation of men of inferi...
