As always your panellists are here to share ideas aimed at provoking thoughts with no holds bad. Stay with us. Visualizing the emerging legacy of President Muhammad Rubuhari. When asked what would be his legacy during a rare interview last year, President Muhammad Rubuhari knew well to concede that responsibility to Nigerians, even though he begged to be assessed fairly. As the administration enters its final and usually least impactful spell for obvious reasons, many Nigerians are supposed are gearing up to exercise that responsibility. Until his historic victory as the seventh democratically elected president of Nigeria in 2015, the then-general Muhammad Buhari was the best president Nigeria never had. Such was a wide perception held of the man until he was assigned what was easily his life's ambition, presiding over Nigeria as a democratic leader. But between then and now that hope and optimism that encircled his persona in a way to despondency and disillusionment. The reason is not far-fetched. For a man that ran a popular campaign around the tri-port of stamping out corruption, decimating Boko Haram and economic recovery, it is crushing for Nigeria and Nigerians that under his watch, Nigeria has failed worse on each of those indices. Some have argued that the worst form of corruption in a multicultural setting like Nigeria is presiding over an exclusionary government that appears to alienate people of other ethnic and or religious persuasion. Yet that has been the order of the Muhammad Buhari regime. Despite being a former military general and leveraging same to content that Nigeria will be safer under him pre-2015, we have witnessed in Nigeria with shrunken territories due to the activities of non-state actors in various parts of the country. Boko Haram has not only defied decimation, it has arguably grown with the splinter cell, ISWAP, proving even more deadly. And as one travels from one region of the country to the other, a new wave of insecurity is met. Banditry in the north-west, sessionist tensions in the south-east, militancy in the Niger Delta, Boko Haram insurgency in the north-east. The economy's core card doesn't look good either. We are slipping into the poverty capital of the world according to the global poverty clock under the administration, being the clearest evidence of that. As we begin the new year, with time no longer on the side of the President Muhammad Buhari administration, the question then is, will some, if not all the above, become the defining pillars of the Buhari legacy? From my cautiously optimistic standing, there is no reason not to resolve that poster in the positive. But what do you say? I am going to say these things before I respond to your ideas on President Buhari. Let me first of all tell President Buhari, this is the first time I am saying this to him directly. I don't know if he is watching us. Happy Bede Baba even though he is in areas. So the Lord is your strength. So however I have these things to say, I have been looking for an opportunity to meet with Buhari. If I have one, I have some things to tell him. Let me say it now. You talked about the three things, stamping out corruption. Somehow Baba Buhari, have you noticed that most of your policies are like train a wee baby with the bat worther? You want to fight corruption, good intention. But most everybody suffer because you want to fight corruption. And then we have another one. The second one you talked about remind me. Economy. No, economy before economy. There is one that is security. Good insurgency, very big one. Yes, we know is a general, a very, very tough general. But times have changed. And times will always change. You can't use the strategies you use during those days as ability to generate them in keeping the peace, to keep peace in this ideological driven situation. Now they said guns can kill terrorists. But education will kill terrorism. So what these people need is adequate education, carrot and stick method. So these are things. It's not only buying supertucano, today we buy supertucano aircraft, this and that, not only that. What are they doing to reorientate the mindset of the people there and why doing the right things. And then the other one of economy. Well, to make Nigeria an economic giant, these policies, you cannot move the economy without involving the youth. Look at what happened during the so-and-so case. The youth were trying to talk to me. They didn't want to listen. The next thing was to punish us by what, burning bitcoin. And thereby, I will not even come to Twitter yet. That was another. thereby disenfranchising us from participating in the global economy. Why must we be only cruel that we think of exporting or importing? Do you know we can actually export knowledge? That's why we have the dot-com era. You can actually be in your room and then solve problems that the company can use there because of our policies. It's difficult to send money outside or even receive what it is. How can you not grow the economy? How? So these are the things you should look at. And number four too, this one is not in the list, I see it as a believer approach. Our president, our dear president is sometimes swift to deal with persons from some certain region when they speak up against the government or when they misbehave. I say no nonsense in general. I speak to send soldiers there or do things to call them to order. But when it comes to giving sanction to countries to to impress this, to enhance this perception that we are truly the giant of Africa. Let me give you an example. It's like found wanting. The issue of xenophobic attack on Nigerians that was 2019 if I'm not mistaken. In South Africa. In South Africa. What did you do? Imagine you were the one that went to visit the South African president. Somebody committed a crime or killed your person and then who is supposed to visit you? You went there for what? Why can't you, I expected him to take a stand move against South Africa maybe by expelling this ambassador or something from the country or something. I don't know. Or another instance. Let me give you another instance. See what happened in Ghana. Imagine the Ghanaian had the opportunity or had the refugee to raise done in Nigerian beauty. Owned by the Nigerian government in Ghana. And then what did the president do about it? The president of Ghana apologised. Why would you do that? We need to say like put a strong message. Have a strong, stop begging. But we could do so in many ways. I love the way he handled the issue of this. There's no courage to proceed in diplomacy. The issue of burning. The bundles from coming to Canada or something. Over the moving over. And he responded. So I should keep it up. But like I said some people believe that it's too late for Bwari to do anything that he has not done before. In the last, that he has just one year. So if he cannot do anything in the last seven years, what can he do now? I believe that whenever a man wakes up this is the day. I will give Bwari a benefit of that. Baba Bwari with due respect sir, please. You have one more year to go. Just try to do the needful. Do something very right. If possible, get young smart guys around you. You must be working with. He's not working with millionaires. There's a disconnect between the government and billionaires. That's why some of their policies are not youth friendly. It doesn't make sense. So Hylin, is there any possibility that we imagine the gas is going to change? For me, I think the total, the whole four years has been a waste of time. Six years actually. Six years has been a waste of time. Personally, because I have not seen every single Chibok girl return home. Simple. I mean, I'm not really concerned about the economy. I'm not concerned about what I'm concerned about. Nigerian parents who have not seen their children in close to seven years. I don't think any Nigerians should go through that. And for that, he has failed for me. Anyway, speaking about Chibok girls, I know some people will say is it Bwari this was during good luck to an attire. It's irrelevant. But the truth of the matter, what I will say is let's learn to take responsibility. Good luck has done his own. Whether he's perfect or not, he made his mistake. He made his error. He made his successes. He made his failures. He has gone. Now, Baba Bwari, what are you going to do with the time you have now? No, but he promised us. He promised us. He wrote in the back of that Chibok thing. That was one of the things he said. That's what made me vote for him. That he and girls were going to go back. I voted for him. I voted for him. I voted for him. It's almost too late. It's almost too late. It's almost too late. It's almost too late. Yes, it's continuous. My hope is the president and his people, the president should take responsibility. They kept it was PDP before. They blame Bwari. Good luck. They blame PDP. They blame the youth. They blame Twitter. What are they blaming again? Cover it, please. Cover it, please. Every successive government blames each of the government before them. For me, I mean, what really upsets me is the fact that there seems to be a lack of strategy for most of the policies. I don't understand the backdrop upon which they are making a lot of their decisions. So take for instance, the amnesty given to Boko Haram. So you are rewarding them. There doesn't seem to be any plan to educate them, to reintegrate them into the society. You've just rewarded them and they've got back to doing the same thing. I just don't understand how that kind of decision could have been made. For me, I'm happy, like I pointed out, I'm happy that when that journalist asks him that question that what do you mean by Boko Haram legacy? He quite understood that it is not for him to call. That is for Nigerians who are going to look back at his, what would be his 80s in government and take a decision one way or the other. Well, I bet to you something like that. And I think Nigerians are quite informed about what this government has done and at the right time, they will paint that legacy. Well, I bet to disagree on that. Baba Bwari, I will advise you like a son. Let me just advise you as a son. Baba, please, you should be concerned about your legacy. Forget about what Nigerians think or not. Do the right things. You know what to do. Do it. And let me just take this for me. Know this and know peace. Get a Nigerian youth. Get good Nigerian youth. Many of them, they could come and work with you. It's just one year. You could do something. Change your history. Change your story. It doesn't matter what has been done in the past six years. If you can do the right things within this one year, even if you cannot do all, do something tangible that would be a build up for the next administration. Well, it's one year to go and then we'll see what becomes of Bukhari legacy ultimately. Helen is next after the break.
