From the Eagle Square, former military, Muhammadu Buhari, put forward some awkward truths and evaluation of Nigeria's current ills on Saturday. His best lines, clear-cut and caustic, could have been more, but here are the best 10 in no particular order.
1. There is an unprecedented fall in the nation’s standard of living and an astronomical rise in the standard of dying.
2. Anarchy is knocking on the door of many sections of this country and the Federal government has not demonstrated that it has the good sense to understand what is going on, or the competence to check it.
3. The patience of this nation and the various communities within it has been severely tried and stretched to its limits. And there is no end in sight.
4. Some areas of the nation are virtual war zones in a country supposedly at peace.
5. Marauders of every description armed to the teeth with all manner of sophisticated armaments roam the national landscape with total and murderous impunity.
7. The nation is hopelessly adrift.
8. The government has failed in almost everything.
9. There is spiraling lawlessness all over the country. There is widespread and rising poverty and unemployment across the length and breadth of the country.
10. All these evils derive and draw inspiration from a government that is itself immersed to its neck in a cesspool of corruption.

He spoke the truth. all 10 points are absolutely correct. however the question is; who is sponsoring this lawlessness and anarchy can Buhari swear that he is not directly or indirectly involved.

Go and sit down old man.Talking about corruption I want to remind you that some of us Nigerians have not forgotten,some of us knows our history.We have not forgotten that you were in charge of the Petroleum Ministry during Obasanjos first regime in 1977 when 2 Billion Naira suddenly disappeared.That was the beginning of large scale corruption in Nigeria,and I want to remind you also that the Naira then had more value than the USD$.You are talking war,start the war and see how it will play out.
