We can't shy away from the fact that the incumbent government inherited a sick nation from the Peoples Democratic Party-led administration.
But if I'm not mistaken, it has used close to seven months in the saddle.
We ought to have been seeing positive changes ever since, though we may not blame the All Progressives Congress (APC) outrightly but ourselves.
During the electioneering, the only slogan was 'Change! Change!!' but no one bothered to ask them to define the kind of change that they intend to bring.
Indeed we are seeing changes but majority are still very negative, to say the fact.
It is disheartening to hear the Minister of State for Petroleum saying that the federal government has concluded its plan to increase the pump price of petroleum come next year.
Indeed it has been pegged at N97 per litre.
We all stood against the ignoble 'new year gift' of Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan. When we occupied almost all places then. #OccupyNigeria
Professor Tom David West that was very vocal then has been conspicuously lost his voice since All Progressives Congress came into power.
To be candid, I'm yet to recover from the shock of President Muhammadu Buhari's Ministers without Tom West.
People believed that the man will be allowed to head Petroleum Industry once again due to his vast knowledge in the field.
His analysis about pump price cannot be forgotten so soon and his much publicised N40 per litre proposal..... Hmmmmmmm
Away from petroleum product, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola have announced in many fora that Nigerians should be ready to pay more for electricity!
Imagine that, paying for what we don't enjoy? Too bad. I must commend the members of the House of Representatives for stopping this satanic plan to inflict more hardship on Nigerians.
I think Babatunde Fashola should work on improving the electricity supply first before the unacceptable increase in tariff.
First thing, first.
Moreso, our electoral umpire is gradually turning to a laughing stock due to their 'inconclusive' elections.
The mistake of Kogi State Gubernatorial Election should have been corrected before heading to Bayelsa, but lo and behold, we found ourselves in same unpalatable situation.
Should I say that the present Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Yakubu is not competent enough to handle such sophisticated office?
And if my assumption is true, he should resign willingly than plunging Nigeria into an avoidable political crisis.
President Muhammadu Buhari should please respect his electioneering promises. There should be an end to the era of hiding at the back of a finger.
We are sick of daily denials of campaign promises. I must commend his Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari for his fight against the endemic corruption but should be across board, so that it will not be seen as a political persecution cum witch-hunt.
Release of our Chibok girls are not negotiable and should be realised, I heard it with one of my ears then that Muhammadu Buhari will lead the troop to Sambisa to secure the release of these innocent girls but we are still on same point many months after their kidnap.
If children of Nigeria's top-notch were to be among these people kidnapped, I'm sure that by now the children must have been released.
The ruling party should remember that we all clamoured and voted for change, we can still change the change if the need arises.
Good bless my country Nigeria!
