SSSSHHHHHH.

I was there live. He said in 1983/84, they were made to queue to buy two tins of milk.

He then asked, do you want to go back to those days and the crowd shouted in unison ..NO!

GEJ finished work and finished the opposition.

Am coming, keep your fingers crossed

..am so happy today.

I am an APC supporter but on this story of queues for commodities he did not a lie. The only problem is that he was criticizing something that was good and most Nigerians supported.
The Story:
NPN the rulling party before Buhari regime had looted treasury, oil prices were also down to $35 a barrel due to the international manipulations and foreign exchange was scarce. Buhari and Idiagbon were not going take foreign loans and devalue the currency. They were so sure that the problem of foreign exchange was a temporary one and could always be rode through that they rationed foreign exchange and all imported consumer goods had to be rationed. They also started partnering with local manufacturers Nestle, Cadburys, st.c to expand local manufacturing capacity.

So Jonathan is right, we queued but unlike him we liked it because we knew our naira was just N2 to the $1 and that all the ''essential commodities" were soon to be made in Nigeria. Anyway, IBB came later and destroyed everything and the entire country.

The man is absolutely correct! Just Google the word 'essential commodity' GMB instituted price controls after confiscating private stocks because businesses were "hoarding" this drove goods off the shelves and the only available source was govt controlled products. People queued like it was USSR (same rubbish is happening in Venezuela)

GEJ is a liar, he queued for subsidized and very cheap milk,rice and others. For govt to even share milk then in order to protect economy and naira which was about #2 to $1, that means such govt was future conscious. GEJ goofed again.

What do you mean?

Buhari sent his Karki boys to invade retail shops in Aba to sell "daily need items" from private shops at a price they deemed justified.

The truth is that he never invaded nor negotiated with companies and suppliers to force controlled prices rather they used koboko on poor retailers thereby forcing most Stores to sell at night or through back doors.

As a result of the threats from the karki boys most shops ran out of supplies or refused to restock for fear of Soldiers who lacked simple knowledge of economics.

The result was scarcity upon scarcity.

We really suffered.

Ask any elderly person, they will tell u that milk and sugar were a scarce commodity during buhari's time in 1984, it was nly the govt owned national supply company that was rationing rice, sugar and other essential commodities, if you are caught selling sugar in your store, u will be arrested and jail by the military without trial.

Store like utc, kingsway, leventis etc, closed down because there was nothing to sell. Goods like perfume and wine were termed luxury by buhari and banned, anybody that was found with these goods, was jailed.

There was price control, whereby only the military will fix prices of goods for traders. If u are caught selling above the stated price, all the goods in ur shop will be auctioned.

I laugh the fans of this empty old guard, the most surely regret their action.
