An Open Letter to President Buhari from a Concerned Youth

Dear Sir,
buhari
ON THIS YEAR DEMOCRACY DAY AND AFTER A YEAR IN OFFICE, WHERE DOES THE FUTURE LIES FOR NIGERIANS?
I have been constrained to write you through the media because I do not have an alternative way of reaching you and making my opinions known on this topic, which I think is equally shared by many Nigerians of my generation and conscious elders irrespective of ethnic, political or religious differences.
Sir, let me use this medium to officially congratulate you on your generally chorused victory given to you by Nigerians like myself in the last General Election2015.
The nationwide spontaneous jubilations that welcomed your announcement clearly shows the faith, the hope and the belief that Nigerians like myself have in your leadership prowess.
Sir, I must as a matter of honesty confess that the image that stuck in me about Buhari haven read about you from Nigeria political history and heard in the same vein from elders who are old enough to access your then 1983-1985 Buhari/Idiagbon military regime was that of, no-nonsense character, straight I-mean-it talker, who meant yes and vice versa; and the hope that the God sent deliverer has finally come. This impression I believe was equally shared by many other Nigerians.
Sir, and truly you came with the tone and promises of a Deliverer, to rescue the largest Black man nation from its relegated and lost glory, to put hope and smile on Nigerians faces and joyful new song on the lips of the ever-expectant common men.
Your electioneering promises testifies to this as you promised to:
Reduce petrol pump price from N87 to N45, create three million jobs per year, equate $1 to N1, give N5,000 stipend to unemployed youths, provide one meal daily to pupils nationwide, fix all our transportation networks, curb corruption and excesses in the management of our government, among others. Little did Nigerians like myself know that these were only lies under the emblem of propaganda, so far.
Sir, permit me to use the analogy of football world in evaluating your administration so far.
You are the coach of the team (Nigeria). You have four matches to play. You have played one.
I must be fair and honest enough to say you have lost your first match Sir, your first match which is to give hope and summary of what to expect in the remaining three matches.
Sir, to me, all we have under the released analysis and lists of your one year achievements are only match statistics in form of possession, dribbling skills, long and short pass analysis, offsides, among others.
You failed to score a goal in the match and give hope to the fans(Nigerians), as this is what the fans are better interested in and not the possession points.
Sir, as a strong believer of the philosophy that “criticisms against your work for you to do better are better than praises for what has already been achieved” and this is the true definition of Democracy and Opposition in democracy.
It is on this note I took my pen to pour out my heart and opinion about your administration so far.
ON THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL
I chose this firstly because this is what Nigerians generally share in common.
While the idea and reasons for the removal is hearable, the time and under the conditions (infrastructures) in which it was removed is inhumane. This is the highest increment in fuel pump price by any Nigerian government with a N59 increment; on the struggling masses when most States are still owing far above five months of salaries and N18,000 is still the minimum wage?
Moreover, as far as I know as a conscious youth who has always been following Nigeria political and economy state and the world at large;
Removal of subsidy is a step by step process, properly educate and orientate the public, proper palliatives must have been put in place to cushion its effects, pass an act of National Assembly to deregulate the downstream; among instead of imposing unforseen hardships on the masses.
ON THE NATIONS ECONOMY
On Friday May 20th, 2016, Dr. Yemi Kale, the Statistician General of the Federation and head of the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed that Nigeria’s economy had not grown in the first quarter of the year but had rather shrunk to 0.36 percent, the worst contraction in 25 years!
The announcement was followed by various reactions, with pundits pointing at this or the other as being the cause of this setback.
Sir, to me, this is caused by the inability of your player on finance wing to manage the economy properly and you as the coach too to woo investors into the country, as most ones on ground before are already packing with gross retrenchment of their workers.
I watched and heard how you talked about corruption that is on its ravaging velocity in most of the World Summit for World leaders while investors are there sitting and watching.
What do we expect?
Other world leaders are busy talking about the positive side of their country while we are good in describing how corrupt our people are and always blaming the past administration.
The president should focus on marketing his plans and policies when he travels abroad.
ON THE FULANI’S HERDSMEN
Mr. President, your response to the killings by herdsmen in the middle-belt and the recent Ekiti killings has been nothing to write home about. That is because there has been nothing to write by way of response from you. The herdsmen were in a report were said to be the world’s 4th deadliest terrorist group in the world but your government and you in particular appear to pretend like they are not doing all the killings they are doing. Agatu is only the latest in the bloodshed. Something needs to get done and you need to communicate more on such killings. This is what governments that value human life do.
ON THE INFRASTRUCTURES
Sir, the power sector among others is been abated daily with most part of the country been unable to boast of six hours of electricity daily.
The ever sufficient potholes on our roads are still there on most of our Federal roads with most of our roads still an express way to death.
Drinkable water is still a problem in many parts of the country as most Nigerians do not have access to drinkable water.
ON THE CORRUPTION FIGHT
Sir, while I must commend your administration for the real fight against corruption so far and the recent Raymond Omatseye, Ex-NIMASA Boss that bags five years imprisonment, I must still say you need to show more trustworthy in the fight by making it not to look selective as it wants to seem. There are also prolific looters in your team with chains of looted funds dangling around their neck.
ON OUR DEMOCRACY
I will like to enjoin Mr. President to improve on his ability to tolerate opposition and bear criticisms. This is what makes true Democracy.
Sir, against the reality you succeeded, some things have changed but the bottom line remains the same; Nigerians are still lamenting and groaning under the weight of fuel scarcity, this seems like a permanent feature these days, power supply has arguably gotten worse or at least stayed the same. We can talk about the great things your administration has put in place since May 29, 2015 but ultimately, if those things haven’t changed the reality of life of the average Nigerian or look like they are about to change that reality, Nigerians like myself have a reason to question the change if it is not a chain.
We have heard enough of the atrocities been carried out under the last administration.
Dear President, by all means you must never forget the faces of those Nigerians you met on your campaign trail. If you fail them, they will have lost faith, not just in you but in their belief and hope that Nigeria can indeed be better. The reason is because you were expected to be the foundation of a much better Nigeria.
Mr. President, wherever they are, you must call the best of our country to help deliver this change. Do not forget to weed out those who led us to where we are. As this are the attribute of a good coach.
Thinking in a democratic setting you can make the change happen alone is to not understanding the fact democracy requires all the parts of the machine working to move forward.
Sir, in conclusion lest I bore you with the abundance of my heartfelt griefs and grievances, let me say there is no time.
This is not a tone or note of impatience. It is another reminder of the tickling clock that says _”what you have to do, do quick”.
Sir, you still have three matches more to change the game as a good coach which I revered you to be.
Give the fans, the Nigerians, goals and tangible points and a reason to smile and see hope in the country.
Mr. President, I look forward to write in a satisfactory tone when next I put up my opinion in a writeup like this to you. Let NIGERIANS see the future with you.
Mr. President, Happy Democracy Day 2016
GOD BLESS THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Message From Futo SUG President To Imo Governor. Must Read

AN OPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR ANAYO ROCHAS OKOROCHA(OON), THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR OF IMO STATE.
Your Excellency sir, it is with due respect and honour to your office, and heart full of pains and grievance that I write to you today. I want to start by commending you for your effort so far towards rescuing Imolites though your mission is yet to be accomplished we pray for a positive change.
Your Excellency sir, without taking much of your time, I would like to go straight to the point which is the situation of Poly Nekede/FUTO ihiagwa road that is in a dilapidated state. With due respect sir, this road has become a nightmare to the entire Nigerian students schooling in FedPoNek and FUTO. It is no longer motorable and we are crying out loud. The condition of this road has brought about many changes; though negative changes like...

• Change in transportation fee... From FUTO to OWERRI town which was #100 is now #150.

• Delay on the road due to potholes and swamps. 

• Constant accident, fighting among road users due to lane... Etc.

However, the council of SUG Presidents which is under my chairmanship in collaboration with the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) have in many occasions written to the state government over this road issue but no replies came and there was no proper action taken.
Overtime, people will say that Poly/FUTO road isn't a state road that it belongs to the federal government. Now the big question is , what happen to other states like Anambra where federal roads projects is been carried out by the state? Well if the state would not do this road for us, then let them attract the federal government to come and do it. That's why we voted them. Your Excellency sir, I want to categorically state
that your government has done nothing for the young Imolites Schooling in FUTO and PolyNekede. You gave free education to IMSU stars and to State polytechnic Umuagwo what happen to over 85% Imolites in FUTO? What happen to over 90% Imolites in federal polytechnic Nekede? Come and do our road. That's all we are asking for. Your Excellency sir, recall that your well deserved doctorate degree was given to you in
one of this universities which is FUTO to be precise not IMSU or polytechnic Umuagwo. Its your five years in office sir and we have not benefited from your government. We have been abandoned. We need a students loving governor....
The formal governor Ohakim did his bid by giving each SUG in all the universities a brand new vehicle and also listening to them when ever need arises. Your Excellency you can do better.
Rescue our road. The issue of Poly/FUTO road has over lingered and the over seventy-five thousand (75,000) Nigerian students both FUTO and Poly Nekede has resolved as at 11am, 30th may 2016 that: (1)we are giving the state government a period of two weeks to commence work on Poly Nekede/ FUTO road, (2) that after two weeks and nothing is done, we shall embark on a peaceful protest. Route: from poly Nekede to government house, then to NAZA junction where road users may not be able to access that major road for like four hours. This is to help the state government reach the federal government so as to facilitate the rehabilitation of this road.Below are the pictures of FUTO/Poly road.

We are peace loving people.
We are Nigerian students.

Aluta Continua...
