always seem as they look in Nigeria.

What
would be correct is that the
president has actually done little to
publicize the many things he has
been doing.

Nctrice:
this is a true master piece, one that paints a picture of the president, his inherent intent, and the God factor that has always been there for Nigeria! That God factor that took him to Aso rock without any strong political backing is the same God factor that gave us our independent on a Plata of Gold in 1960!

So good it's coming from someone off the shores of Nigeria!

The fertilizer stuff is due to the efforts of Akinwumi Adesina, not the clueless 'president'.

@ the bold, may be, may be not.

What is however certain is that GEJ's administration has had the privilege of being the regime with highest earnings from crude oil sale. Unfortunately, his still remains the most corrupt and the most wasteful regime.


Let's compare:

Average oil price per barrel under OBJ was $38, GEJ's was $100

GDP grew under OBJ to 7% from 2%, under GEJ it has slid to 5.3%

Exchange rate was 115 NGN to 1$ under GEJ, it is now over 220 NGN to 1 dollar

External reserve was $43 billion as at 2007 under OBJ who paid over $12 billion in debt. Under GEJ it has dropped to about $30 billion with
debts increased to $40 billion.

So, who is fooling who?


GMB is the right man at this point in time.

bondingman:

You're obviously ignorant of the e-wallet fertilizer distribution n IPPS

bjdon:
This is neither a pro GEJ or pro GMB post, just a call for some reflection:

Our inferiority complex sometimes knows no bounds. I find it quite insulting when Nigerians seems to think that the opinions of foreigners somehow carries more weight than anything else. Why is this so? Who is this writer for the Washington Times? How do we know he's not been approached and 'settled'.

Please my people if you must vote for either GEJ or GMB, do it based on your OWN opinion based on YOUR judgement of what's going on in the country and which man YOU think is better placed to move the country forward. NEVER let your opinion be swayed by the foriegn media, for the one thing you can be sure of is that, deep down they only have their own nations and paymasters interest at heart, never YOUR own.

there is sth called the time value of money. 100 naira in 2004 is not the same as 100 naira now. So 38 dollars might be as valuable as 100-140 dollars in 2015.
When I was in primary school. I was given 5 naira to school everyday. And out of it, I buy 3 naira rice and 2 naira meat. That same meal would cost about 100 naira now or more.

So if at some point, crude oil was 38 dollars and later 140 dollars. It might equate to more money in the real sense of it. How much was tha average salary paid by goverment in 2004 when oil was 38 dollars and how much is the average salary now. How much did it cost to do a road then and how much does it cost now. We have to take all this into cognizance.

And what were the achievements of obj after six year in power?

Coldfeet:
Whether he was approached and settled or not! Was anything the writer wrote a lie? If you found any please highlight. Leave the messenger and address the message.




meanwhile....


I stand with Gej
i invite you to join me

That PDP has been doing nothing to publicize the many things the president has been doing - this is truth undiluted.

Reason for it is that core north is working together to have power returned to born to rule.

Some people in the SW that controls much of the press is working for Buhari to become president with the hope that Buhari shall die soon for Osinbajo to take over Aso Rock,

Since you aren't sure; there's no need to argue with you...I don't speculate...when you are sure about facts on Jonathan (not telling me maybe or maybe not) then we can talk...For now; you are arguing blindly because you aren't sure...
Also remember to come back with the correct data from reputable organizations not APC oluwole data centre...thanks...

Mr. Jonathan’s civilized approach to
tackling issues is built around the
need to ensure social justice, equity
and the rule of law. This should,
ordinarily, be worthy of global
acknowledgment and
commendation. But the concerted
noise from the opposition camp
and the penchant of some
international observers to rush to
judgment without taking full
account of peculiarities of an
environment are a bit deafening
and blinding to the reality on
ground.

Sometimes in a football match, people outside the pitch see better than the players in the field. That is why the referee most times gets instructions from the one outside the pitch with a clearer view.

Most times our understanding of things in Nigeria are not clear and influenced by people who might be pro or anti govt..

Someone who is a ghost worker and has been fished out by the biometric excercise will say the govt is bad.

Those who have been benefiting from fuel subsidy scam, would make the masses believe the govt hates them when they tried to remove it.

Like the issue of bokoharam, when it started elders in the north including buhari made the northerners believe the govt was against them while bokoharam was their friend. This led to northerners accommodating the sect members and withholding information.

In the case of unemployment , there has always been a shortage of employment and the govt will never have enough employment opportunities for all the unemployed youths. But the policies of govt encourages investors which in turn creates more jobs.

The rails are back but we dont see it as employment, neither do we see you win etc as employment.

As dangote, innoson motors aand other firms increase in their capacity due to govt support and patronage this also creates employment.

What about the single digit sme loans made available . When u wear red glasses, everything will be red to u. The enemies of this administration have succeeded in puting on red glasses in the eyes of most Nigerian youths.

Some are even inside the trains traveling from one location to the other and causing goodluck online.

Some are even buying food at the same price despite the fall in oil price but still insullt the president online.

A lot is wrong with the article. The writer conveniently avoided so many vital aspects of the economy.

You may check my earlier posts on this topic.

Listen my friend, the time value of money is not only obtainable in Nigeria. It is everywhere and affects everything.

The main problem with Nigeria is our inability to manage our earnings and put our resources to judicious use.

To understand me better, check by what percentages price of commodities in well managed economies have changed in the last 5 to 10 years and you will realize that not by much. I can do a bit of research on this for you but I don't think it's worth my time now.

For instance, in the country where I reside now, a can of Coke has been selling for about 70 NGN for the past 5 years and it's the same with 80 to 90% of all other commodities.

PDP's failure is GEJ's failure and GEJ's failure cannot be separated from PDP's.
