Odutodaiwa:


Barcanista, seriously how do you cope dealing with all the brain dead ediots you are responding to. Honestly, I do not have the patience to respond to the TANoids and saTANists. I cannot teach dullards even if you offer me all the billions in this world. For me, what I owe Nigeria is to mobilise my household to kick out this mad man of a president come 14th February 2015.

Enough is enough.

barcanista:
Wait let get something straight...
Under Yar adua regime, the Naira was defended, yet we had increase reserve
Under Obasanjo regime same thing, yet we had increase reserve
Under Jonathan same thing yet we get depleted reserve

At a point the Naira was devalued in EVERY regime... But it was necessary at that time. It wasn't perculiar to Jonathan. Yet his case is different.

Meanwhile:
The Oil Price under Objs started at less than $20 per barrel in 1999 and peaked at $90 in 2007

That of Yar adua peaked at $147 perbarrel, as at then the reserve was $64billion, ALL time hgh. It only slipped when the oil price dropped to $35 during the economic meltdown. He also rescued banks. Yar adua still had to bear the burden of the extra subsidy bills

Jonathan's Reserve have been going downward, he has been enjoying a good Oil Price at $88 to 107$ for the past 4years.. Something non of his precessors enjoyed. Jonathan had the privilege of Subsidy removal since 2012. Instead of his Reserve to GO UP, it is depleting.

Only Jonathan BLEEPED our debt without Mercy.

My friend How do you explain this? Remember to use EVERY economic indices. You keep dodging this interesting part of OIL Market Price. You are very funny bro

Take care of the bold or you want to argue it?

I do not think so.
He is clearly sharing COMPARATIVE information about our recent presidents' performance in a specific area.
That is definitely NOT how to ask us to embrace mediocrity.
If you have contrary credible information you should simply share also instead of inferring conclusions that the poster has NOT made.

patrickmuf:
Since he's using comparison as a tool to drive home his point we can definitely draw conclusion that he is pointing towards the norm in this case 'Mediocrity'

thekingsmen:
I have taken full time to go through the other thread and this one and this is my objective analysis of the two debates by this erudite gentlemen,

First debate (yesterday)
Datolee Won the day with 70% barcanista 30%

2nd Debate(today)
Barcanista 40 % Datolee 45% abokiii 15%


I rest my case..

Ekiti style

Ezemust:
the oil gain was $117 billion if we should presume. this very amount was consume by sls in defending the naira. r u saying this fact is a lie or what r u insinuating?

debo07:
Only fools see facts and are still blind to seeing reality.Is it dat they are willingly blind or they are unknowingly blind?.No one can deceive me with the name goodluck.even when everyone was shouting his name back in 2011,I never liked him.I voted Buhari and I'm happy I did.we don't need goodluck to make our country great.he has even failed. all we need is a good,charismatic,disciplined and trust worthy man.when u add all these together ur answer will be GMB not GEJ.

fyneguy:


You guys keep mumbling about the amount spent on defending the naira. Sanusi said if there was laxity on the part of government in managing our fiscal economy, the CBN would have to embark on drastic monetary policies to cushion the effect. In other words, the outrageous amount spent on defending the naira speaks volume for how GEJ's government has managed our economy.

anonimi:


So you are saying this "norm" of mediocrity is demonstrated by all our recent presidents' at the SAME level or there is a difference among them based on information shared by various posters on this thread

NeoTesla:

However, I think GEJ showed he did not have the character we desire in a president when he flagrantly stamped corruption before our very eyes by pardoning Alameseigha. It suggest that as president, when given a choice between the country and his cronies, he will work for the advantage of the latter.

In March 2000, Bill Clinton pardoned Edgar and Vonna Jo Gregory, owners of the carnival company United Shows International, for charges of bank fraud from a 1982 conviction. Although the couple had already been released from prison, the prior conviction prevented them from doing business in certain American states. First Lady Hillary Clinton's youngest brother, Tony Rodham, was an acquaintance of the Gregorys, and had lobbied Clinton on their behalf.] In October 2006, the group Judicial Watch filed a request with the U.S. Justice Department for an investigation, alleging that Rodham had received $107,000 from the Gregorys for the pardons in the form of loans that were never repaid, as part of a quid pro quo scheme.

*****************************

Roger Clinton, the president's half-brother, was pardoned for drug charges after having served the entire sentence more than a decade earlier. Roger Clinton would be charged with drunk driving and disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident within a year of the pardon. He was also briefly alleged to have been utilized in lobbying for the Braswell pardon, among others. However, no wrongdoing was uncovered.

Russia's bill for rouble defence: $1.9bn & counting

Russia is finding out this week that falling oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty do not make for good bedfellows.

With the price of Brent crude continuing its dizzying descent (it is now down more than 20 per cent since a mid-June high of $113 a barrel to $91.55 on Wednesday), investors have been in flight mode.

The rouble has been among the biggest casualties, losing 13 per cent since the start of July to hit a fresh low of 44.91 against a dollar-euro basket on Wednesday. (See chart below)

The pressure is forcing the central bank of Russia to act. Having sold $980m to defend the currency on Friday, the central bank sold another $962m between Monday and Tuesday. The total amount could be higher still given that the data are released with a two-day delay.

Natalia Orlova, chief economist at Alfa Bank in Moscow, reckoned the central bank spent $1.3bn on Wednesday to prop up the currency, in addition to the $1.94bn that have already been announced.

UBS, which this week downgraded its outlook on the rouble, said that despite the hefty depreciation already seen in the currency in recent weeks, it does not expect the pressure to ease up anytime soon.

I often wonder why anyone pays the OP any attention... but I guess you can't just allow a serial liar to keep on spreading false news... see below what this Orlando Owoh posing as the OP does: when no one is watching, he spins information and facts, personally insulting anyone that challenges his lies... this is always... hear him:

"Some people are half educated. Firstly, Nigeria is not at War, we only battle terrorism. Secondly, if election were to be postponed in 2015, the CONSTITUTION allows that the President(Jonathan) will handover to the Senate President, who will act as President and organise the poll . However, such is not a matter of question because Nigeria is NOT at war but fighting Insurgents, which is not a new thing."

He calls other posters "half-educated" .. and then states something that is NOT in the constitution... thinking that because he can string words in a sentence, people will buy his deceit and lies...

I wonder if such people have a conscience. He was about to be humiliated (by Obinoscopy in subsequent posts) when he deleted the post and was shameful to accept that he was caught lieing.

APC and their fans seem to have no game, save for lieing, lieing and more of it.... they know Buhari is bad market, but refuse to accept, denying themselves the truth, and that is what NL unfortunately has to beal with... what do they call them again? supporters of APC?

They sure need extermination, and what powerful tool is there for lies, than the truth. We (Nigerians that stand for the truth) shall overcome!!! (
