Rate Buhari’s Administration

-



On the 29th of May, 2015, President Buhari was sworn in as the president of Nigeria. To some Nigerians, he has done absolutely fine, while to others, he has not faired better than the past Nigerian leaders. On social media, there have been disagreements between the followers and antagonists of the administration. The antagonists have often found one mistake or another, and they have even labeled the administration a failure. Nevertheless, the administration is working hard to prove its critic wrong.
In terms of corruption, the administration has probed the deals and activities of the last administrations especially in the area of security where billions of naira are said to have been embezzled. The administration through the EFCC machinery is trying to persecute corrupt officials and send a strong signal to all the corrupt officials in Nigeria. This is the only civilian administration that is willing to fight corruption. And with the probe of various sectors, huge amount of monies are being termed “diverted”. Nigeria is truly rich.
There has been a slight reduction in the price of PMS. The administration has instilled fear into those who see the government has an avenue for amassing ill-gotten wealth. This anti-corruption war however has not improved Nigeria’s economy one-bit or Nigeria’s image in the international community. The ordinary Nigerian is suffering still, and the exchange rate of dollar is high, therefore, making importation difficult and expensive.
The government claims it has subdued Boko Haram, but there are still bombing here and there, though it is minimal unlike before. The government has so far shown that it cannot fully respect court orders. There has been unwarranted arrest and detention of suspects without evidence; the suspects are only charged after arrests. There has been loss of lives of innocent peaceful protesters and believers of doctrine, and this shows no care for the value of human lives. The economy of the nation is falling apart, and although it is a world wide problem, the government needs to do something about this bad economy.
The government has not acted poorly really. However, the administration needs to work harder to meet the demands of the citizens who voted them in. So how will you rate Buhari’s administration? Good, bad, great, mediocre? Rate it over 10. What is your opinion on this?

Biography of Poet J. P. Clark is a Nigerian poet from the Ijaw tribe. He studied at the University of Ibadan; it is from Ibadan that he got to write a poem about Ibadan, and it is from here that he developed as a poet. Analysis of the Poem This is a poem about the city, Ibadan. This Ibadan is in South West, Nigeria. It is in the state of Oyo. It is an ancient city that had been in existence even before the coming of the British. As the city is old, the houses of the city are dirty and the roofs are rusted. This is also an unplanned city. The persona begins by describing Ibadan as running splash of rust: that is, Ibadan is filled with rust; rust here symbolizes old and ancient. The color of this rust is that of “gold” which the persona shows. The use of “scattered” shows disorderliness of houses in the city. Then, the seven hills are the seven hills that surround the city. “Like Broken China in the Sun” represents the disorderliness and the scattered plan of the city. ...

There is an argument about entrepreneurs and businessmen that has often elicited arguments among intellectuals, economists, politicians and even business men.
