BUHARI SHOULD COPY MORE FROM OBAMA


During the launch of "Change begins with me " campaign Nigerians noticed that President Buhari suddenly became articulate and a bit passionate. When they listened closely they saw that Buhari was just acting Obama. He lifted two paragraphs from Obama's 2008 speech verbatim and practiced it for hours before making the speech..Well, Mrs M. Trump did the same thing and received some backlash but in the case of Nigeria, Buhari is being encouraged to copy more from Obama. Obama took power at the depth of recession and Buhari took power at the height of economic boom. The important thing is that both of them faced recession.. While Obama as a black man selected the best heads in America to work with him, even made his political rival a secretary of state Buhari in his own case explained to Nigerians that his selection was based on loyalty. He explained "that these men have been with me through thick and thin" While Obama spent American money to save jobs and create more jobs, Buhari took pleasure in sacking people from Jobs. After sacking 13 Vice Chancellors appointed by Jonathan he told Nigerians that he regretted sacking those Vice Chancellors. Obama gave bail out to different companies to help them survive, but Buhari drew up a list of  goods and promised not to give anyone dollars unless they explain what they want to do with the money. Nigerian students abroad were stopped from using their bank cards and dollar became a prestigious commodity. The list goes on and on. The manufacturers, transporters shipping lines are all in difficulty today because Buhari is not using the enormous power at his disposal to solve problems. In fact if agents see you with legitimate money earned from government contract, they label you a criminal, arrest you and start looking for evidence instead of evidence then arrest. Buhari should copy more from Obama. Happy citizens make a happy economy. Finally Obama has one big jet and a small regular umbrella but Buhari is using 11 jets and one big umbrella that must be carried after him like a traditional ruler.
