A REPLY TO FEMI-FANI KAYODES FACEBOOK POSTING Femi wrote this on his Facebook account about one hour ago:Asking Muhammadu Buhari to preside over the affairs of Nigeria is like asking Count Dracula to watch over the maiden. It is like asking the wolf to protect little red riding hood. It is like asking the tiger to watch over the lamb. It is like asking the snake to protect the child. It is like asking the rapist to watch over the virgin. By the grace and power of the Living God and the will of the Nigerian people, we will stop him. This nation is moving forward and not backwards. MY RESPONSE: President Jonathan Goodluck of Nigeria has failed woefully in all the most important parameters that are globally used to measure any good government in any country of the world today. The Nigerias national economy is growing only on the government paper and failing to reduce the double-digit unemployment rate and the 80% poverty rate that tens of millions of Nigerians face daily. Today, tens of millions of the hardworking Nigerians are still earning poverty wage, the value of the Nigerian Naira has now reached its lowest value in its history. The Naira remains fluid and unstable against the international currencies. The inflation rate on goods and services is rising, the nations foreign reserve is rapidly depleting and her foreign debt is bloating up again. The insecurity to life and properties of all Nigerians has reached the poorest and the worst level in decades. The war against Boko Haram that is supported with huge yearly budget is a colossal failure. This government has failed to provide Nigerians with electricity, basic social services, modern and affordable health care, functioning 21st century public education and the modernization of our old and overcrowded national infrastructures. The government has remained passive and indifferent in its fight against the menace of the official corruption and the mammoth state resource mismanagement. This is a government that is functioning on many unresolved financial scandals, such as, Malibu oil deal, petroleum subsidy fraud, $20 billion missing oil money from the NNPC and extra-budgetary spendings that violate the financial regulations and laws of Nigeria. Any Nigerian who plans to vote for this President in 2015 is either that Nigerian is benefitting directly from the ongoing corruption and the mismanagement of this country like Femi Fani Kayode or that Nigerian is sentimental with religious bigotry, ethnic loyalty and geopolitical politics that will never make Nigeria a great nation in all reality. # PoliticalAttackDogForBuhari -Sunday Iwalaiye
