I seriously didn't want to tweet today. I wanted @MBuhari and his people to 'dey their dey so I can dey my day'. But, @AishaYesufu's video provoked me.

I don't get it, how are you not sad that Nigeria is still a crawling child after 60 years of existence? How?

After 60 years of independence you are still providing excuses for mediocrity?

After 60 years of independence, we still struggle with power supply, with bad roads, with poor education system, with corruption, with healthcare system, et al.

Why? Why make excuses for incompetence and ineptitude? Why make excuses for failure?

When will Nigerians begin to seriously make demand for quality governance?

When will they demand an end to corruption and lack of performance from those who lead, irrespective of what religion or ethnic group the person is from?

How can our past be better than our future?!

How many of you graduated from school with jobs waiting for you? How many? How many of you graduated from school with accommodation, and an official car waiting for you?

60 years on, nothing to show for it. Our past is still better than our future. Ain't you horrified?

This government, this @MBuhari's regime has depleted the reserve in our ECA, nothing to fall back on right now...look what's going on in the oil market.

We are fighting #COVID19
We are fighting oil fall
We are fighting lockdown
We are fighting hunger/poverty

With no plan.

Leaders of other countries have marshalled out their plans, working round the clock, night and day, to bring their economy and the people back to life, here in Nigeria, @MBuhari is MIA and in the Villa, like wayward children, people are struggling & fighting for power.

Nigeria’s crude oil is trading at about $11. This is half the cost of producing the barrel. Even at that price, Nigeria is not able to sell her crude oil. She has tens of millions of barrels of crude oil in scores of vessels cruising the seas, with no buyer. And @MBuhari is MIA.

Nigeria is offering a $5 discount per barrel but no one is interested. Come to think of it, how can anyone be when the U.S. shale oil is selling for $2 yet no one is buying that either?

Any country like Nigeria that's not working round the clock is playing with fire. @MBuhari.

The fall of oil price is not the only problem we have to deal with.

Nigeria does not have onshore crude oil storage, so she has to put her oil on vessels. The cost of renting the vessels per day is $350k. Do you now see what I mean?

And the incompetent @MBuhari is MIA.

China is running at a fraction of its capacity, the airlines are all on shutdown, in fact, the Canadian oil last week hit -$3. Do you now get the big picture of how dazed we are?

@MBuhari's corruption, incompetence, ineptitude, and failures have thrown us into a deep dark hole.

If you are not angry at @MBuhari's leadership/performance, you better start now because right now, Nigeria is at a loss. And to worsen it all, there's no plan on how to get out of this mess anytime soon.

Again I ask, where is General Buhari?
