Nigerians bracing for Buhari's 2016 AUSTERITY

The last time the word austerity crept into the Nigerian polity was back in 1983-85, when Dictator Muhammadu Buhari was heading a military junta. Yet again in 2015, Nigerians are bracing for extreme austerity due to Buhari's mismanagement of Nigeria's highly choppy economy.

This was exacerbated by rapidly falling crude oil prices and Buhari's appointment of mediocres to manage the country's economy. The Financial Times recently described Buhari's economic policies as the "height of foolishness!".

From Change To Chains: How Buhari brought Nigerians Under Captivity

(Onitsha Nigeria, 24th December 2015)-The Xmas Message delivered today by Presidential Speech Writers, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari, is a collective insult to all Nigerians.

A Nigerian Facebook blogger recently stated that “Buhari/APC shouted chain and Nigerians thought the shouters said change”. That is to say that Nigerians are dictatorially captive; following the shout of “chains”, which they took to be “change”. The country’s military had also boasted recently that “it must maintain one united Nigeria by fire by force”.

For years Nigeria and Nigerians hunted Biafrans. They oppressed Biafrans, subjugated them, thinking Biafrans can never rise again.

They swore that a Biafran can never be the president of Nigeria.

Now all of a sudden, as Biafra rises, they are are begging Biafrans to stay. They are saying "COME AND TAKE THE PRESIDENCY!"

No going back on Bifara no matter they they write or offer.
