Interesting video. I thought APC was going to unleash the Lagos model on Nigeria by leveraging on Tinubu's framework but alas the fulani mafia asserted themselves.

As a counterpoint, here's some harsh reality from this morning's Economist briefing.
This is precisely what I've been saying for so long now: Buhari's only real hope of bridging the gap between his spending plans and the shortfall in revenue was to attract enough extra FDI and remittances to make up the difference. Instead, the dogmatic economic illiterate has adopted a "strong" Naira policy that has actually driven away such foreign funding. I wonder how long even his diehard supporters will be willing to swallow his "blame GEJ" excuses, before they come around to realize that Buhari directly caused the hard times they are facing.
One other thing worth noting: The Economist recognizes something the GEJ supporters (i.e. Biafrans) refuse to acknowledge, namely that the reason Adeosun - and other ministers like Fashola and Fayemi - isn't able to perform is because of the stupid policies of her boss, not due to any shortcomings on her part. Good people are having their reputations needlessly destroyed because they are working for an idiot who refuses to accept correction from any quarter.

Their CVs look really messed up at the moment. I was even thinking about a possible Fashola presidency but this looks like a serious blemish |

If I were these guys, knowing how stubborn this man is, I would have resigned
Their CVs look really messed up at the moment. I was even thinking about a possible Fashola presidency but this looks like a serious blemish If Buhari persists on his current course, I give it another year before we start seeing the resignations coming through. Nobody wants to look disloyal, but I'm sure Fashola and company realize the damage Buhari is doing to their political futures. |

But still, the resignations won't clean up the mess At this point, I don't see anything that will, short of Buhari either dying or being overthrown in a coup. Given how many attempts he made to get back into office, I don't see anything less getting Buhari out of Aso Rock. The most likely scenario is at least 3 more years of aimless rule and intense mass suffering, until 2019 when there's a chance to send the old fool back to Daura (assuming a more credible opposition than the PDP can come together). |

True! I don't even wish for that Sadly, I get this feeling he will win 2nd term. The yes-men are still behind him Meanwhile, APC has rejected calls to restructure the country You see the hypocrisy? Remember how much noise they made during Jona's time? See ehn, nothing can save naija at this point |
