Yomieluv:
Only a fool does same thing,same way,and expect a different result.

So because of fear of the unknown,we should allow GEJ/PDP continue ruling with no clue of how a country should be governed,with the glaring massive looting?

Is it not better we do thing differently at least for once,than allow the "business as usual" mentality hunt us..PDP has ruled for 16years,why can't we just do it differently for once.

At times,the angel u don't know,might be better than the devil you know.

Yes your right, Something different like changing the name of the party and bringing it back. Tell me the diff between PDP and APC?

[quote author=mekaboy post=31833824]Can Nigerians pay the price of a new administration?

The current situation of Nigeria now is like a plane that has a leakage in the fuel tank while it’s in the air heading to its destination. If this plane is managed, it can get to a fuel station in another country where it can refill and move on.

Bringing in a new govt now is like bringing in an inexperienced pilot who will turn off the engine of the plane in the air, hoping to save fuel while the plane floats to its destination. We all know what will happen. For those that don’t know the plane will simply crash and all the passengers might die. I am sure you are thinking those that turned off the engine will die as well. Well you are wrong, they all have their parachutes, ready to jump out of the plane and float to safety. They are all wealthy and have all benefited from corrupt administrations.

Many people believe that once corrupt politicians manage to install buhari as president of a democratic govt, corruption will end. That could be true to some extent. But the problem of Nigeria at the moment goes beyond fighting corruption. It requires a lot of experience and planning, which buhari lacks.

Don’t see this as an attack on buhari or any party; this is just the honest analysis of what Nigerians should expect.

THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF BUHARI WINS

1, the stock market will crash totally as investors will pullout to understand the policies of the new administration. The election panic is already affecting the market negatively.

2, massive looting:- both pdp and apc politicians in power will want to clean out the treasury and destroy evidence. A lot of last minute contracts will be awarded.

Since the new govt won’t be sworn in till may 29th, this will give room for looting. I am sure most of you will say, once buhari comes in they will all go to jail.

Don’t forget pdp and apc members are all involved and buhari is known to protect his own. You can see this in the case of abacha and bokoharam. Also, this is a democratic govt, buhari can’t jail anyone without the courts convicting them with evidence.

3, exchange rate will skyrocket: - the naira is weakened due to the falling oil prices, as investors pullout their funds, there will be scarcity of foreign currency. A lot of people will save their money in dollars, others will horde the dollars. This will lead to scarcity, a dollar might sell for 3-N400.

4, while they are waiting for may 29th, a lot of issues of who is appointed what position causes problems in apc. When the new govt finally comes in, appointments take place, then the trial and errors of appointees begin .

Reshuffling of cabinet starts, while all this is taking place. The Nigerian plane is going down. A lot of uncertainties, mistakes, trials and errors etc. while all this madness is taking place, investors hold back, business activities are halted and the economy suffers a set back.


5, there will be lots of job losses than new ones. With the falling oil prices and the fall of the naira, Govt will have to shrink budget and block all loopholes of waste. Companies will have to cut down on staff, foreign investors will have to wait and monitor the policies of the new administration before they come into the country. This means that there will be fewer jobs. A lot of contracts might be terminated and abandoned, resulting in companies cutting down their workforce. So for those that believe they will be paid because they are unemployed, should ask where the money will come from.


6, lets pray no crisis arises from the niger delta region, if anything happens and affects our oil production amidst the falling oil prices. I wonder what will happen and how much a dollar will go for then, maybe 5-N600.


7, despite all that is listed above, politics is business. Those who invested in APC must recover their money no matter what is going on with the economy. This is Nigeria for u.


8, we all know that buhari knows nothing about economics and even if you employ the best hands to do the job, the person in charge should have a level of knowledge to what needs to be done. The new appointees will have to go through records of the past to know where to start from. While all this trial and error is going on, 4 years has gone. All we will be hearing from buhari and his team is that the govt is new and inherited a lot of problems. Nigerians should give them some more time and possibly a second term. Then with the untold hardship, Nigerians will start to ask for “CHANGE”….


9, most of you will say the stolen money will be recovered and brought back into the economy. The lawyers and judges have to eat, so even if the past administration is tried in court, the cases will be adjourned till 4yrs pass. Will buhari be the judge? If people will have to be tried and jailed for corruption, will buhari jail his own party members? That is why buhari has said he will draw the line and put an end to corruption. Drawing the line means that all those guilty of corruption prior to his administration will go free .

If u start to dig into cases of corruption, it will get to abacha's regime and u will be surprised at who will be exposed.

SO WHAT DO U WANT?

To crash the plane and let the corrupt politicians who have parachutes to jump out and have a soft landing while the plane crashes with Nigerian citizens? Or allow this plane to get to the nearest fuel station and refill?

Remember you will be asked to have patience while they fix the country. While you are waiting, there are no jobs, the dollar is on the high side, and you are running out of ur little savings.

But those fixing the nation already have billions in their account. They have private jets and properties all over Nigeria. You will have to pay them rent or you are thrown out of their houses while you wait.

They own universities, so u will have to pay school fees while you wait or u are thrown out of school .They are into oil and gas and u must buy fuel from them while you wait.

THEY CAN WAIT WHILE THEY ARE FIXING THE NATION THERE OWN WAY, BUT CAN YOU?
[all your assertion came dead on arrival.
Is Muhammed buhari going to carry bags of cement in aso rock? Why is agriculture thriving, this is largely because the president employed the service of a technocrat in person of professor adesina but failed in other spheres of governance because rogues criminals and politicians were saddled with responsibility of piloting the affairs of the nation in sensitive sectors like oil etc. Do not sell your conscience to religious or ethnic divide]

Can Nigerians pay the price of a new administration?

Of course YES, that is the beauty of democracy. We are not Gambia, Ethiopia or Cameroun where they have there presidents ruling them for more than ten to twenty years.

The current situation of Nigeria now is like a plane that has a leakage in the fuel tank while it’s in the air heading to its destination. If this plane is managed, it can get to a fuel station in another country where it can refill and move on.

Bringing in a new govt now is like bringing in an inexperienced pilot who will turn off the engine of the plane in the air, hoping to save fuel while the plane floats to its destination.

Maple's reply to this is so apt.

But the problem of Nigeria at the moment goes beyond fighting corruption. It requires a lot of experience and planning, which buhari lacks.
Duh, millions of Nigerians are the ones going to vote for Buhari as president of a democratic govt, don't get it twisted. Lol, if Buhari lacks experience, then who has experience?

Don’t see this as an attack on buhari or any party; this is just the honest analysis of what Nigerians should expect.

THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF BUHARI WINS

1, the stock market will crash totally as investors will pullout to understand the policies of the new administration. The election panic is already affecting the market negatively.
Is that the way investors have been pulling out at every change of government all over the world, or this is just in your nightmare?

2, massive looting:- both pdp and apc politicians in power will want to clean out the treasury and destroy evidence. A lot of last minute contracts will be awarded.

Since the new govt won’t be sworn in till may 29th, this will give room for looting. I am sure most of you will say, once buhari comes in they will all go to jail.

Oh so, there will be massive looting and cleaning out of the treasury under President Jonathan's watch before May 29? That shows how incompetent, passive and unpatriotic he is, i cannot vote for such a leader.

3, exchange rate will skyrocket: - the naira is weakened due to the falling oil prices, as investors pullout their funds, there will be scarcity of foreign currency. A lot of people will save their money in dollars, others will horde the dollars. This will lead to scarcity, a dollar might sell for 3-N400.

Voodoo economics or still your nightmares, which one? So Buhari is this powerful in your dreams?

4, while they are waiting for may 29th, a lot of issues of who is appointed what position causes problems in apc. When the new govt finally comes in, appointments take place, then the trial and errors of appointees begin .

Reshuffling of cabinet starts, while all this is taking place. The Nigerian plane is going down. A lot of uncertainties, mistakes, trials and errors etc. while all this madness is taking place, investors hold back, business activities are halted and the economy suffers a set back.

Lol, so we should just allow Jonathan and the current ministers to continue forever na, so as to avoid trial and error. Rubbish. It is God, not Jonathan that holds the world by His power. Heaven will not fall because President Jonathan is going to Otuoke or prison like the wife is thinking in her heart.

5, there will be lots of job losses than new ones. With the falling oil prices and the fall of the naira, Govt will have to shrink budget and block all loopholes of waste. Companies will have to cut down on staff, foreign investors will have to wait and monitor the policies of the new administration before they come into the country. This means that there will be fewer jobs. A lot of contracts might be terminated and abandoned, resulting in companies cutting down their workforce. So for those that believe they will be paid because they are unemployed, should ask where the money will come from.

Duh, it's happening already and the fault of the Jonathan government. It is not a win for Jonathan that will stop it, it is right economic policies, security of the country, and stopping wastages that will help revive our economy. A win for Jonathan is not a magic wand that will erase his 6years of incompetence.


6, lets pray no crisis arises from the niger delta region, if anything happens and affects our oil production amidst the falling oil prices. I wonder what will happen and how much a dollar will go for then, maybe 5-N600.

Lol, we cannot live in fear of the unknown or at the mercies of miscreants and militants like tompolo and asari dokubo who have being massively empowered by President Jonathan on our collective wealth. We need responsible leaders that will tame them and put them in their place, and give the youths of this nation a true future, not one based on thuggery, holding government to ransom and unchecked oil theft.


7, despite all that is listed above, politics is business. Those who invested in APC must recover their money no matter what is going on with the economy. This is Nigeria for u.

Do you remember that some people openly donated 21billion naira to PDP? And that is just the start. This is Nigeria for you.


8, we all know that buhari knows nothing about economics and even if you employ the best hands to do the job, the person in charge should have a level of knowledge to what needs to be done. The new appointees will have to go through records of the past to know where to start from. While all this trial and error is going on, 4 years has gone. All we will be hearing from buhari and his team is that the govt is new and inherited a lot of problems. Nigerians should give them some more time and possibly a second term. Then with the untold hardship, Nigerians will start to ask for “CHANGE”….

You know nothing. While Buhari doesn't need to know much about economics, he does know about economics given his stint as head of state and the basic common sense with which he has spoken since the start of his campaign. i do not expect him to be the minister of finance BTW. With all the rubbish the so called coordinating minister of economy(NOI) knows, she has landed us at 220naira to a dollar, with over $3billion going missing in the last one month. Not to mention the depleting national reserves. Buhari and Osinbajo have already hit the ground running with great plans. You should listen to them more, it will improve your life.


9, most of you will say the stolen money will be recovered and brought back into the economy. The lawyers and judges have to eat, so even if the past administration is tried in court, the cases will be adjourned till 4yrs pass. Will buhari be the judge? If people will have to be tried and jailed for corruption, will buhari jail his own party members? That is why buhari has said he will draw the line and put an end to corruption. Drawing the line means that all those guilty of corruption prior to his administration will go free .

If u start to dig into cases of corruption, it will get to abacha's regime and u will be surprised at who will be exposed.

SO WHAT DO U WANT?

Buhari's case seems better than President Jonathan's who does not even look fazed with the corruption and stealing happening under his watch. Billions are getting missing and nobody is getting sacked or jailed while he is busy 'using technology' to fight corruption.

To crash the plane and let the corrupt politicians who have parachutes to jump out and have a soft landing while the plane crashes with Nigerian citizens? Or allow this plane to get to the nearest fuel station and refill?

Remember you will be asked to have patience while they fix the country. While you are waiting, there are no jobs, the dollar is on the high side, and you are running out of ur little savings.

Duh, except you are God, you will have to keep quiet. You do not know tomorrow. Keep your nightmares private or something and stop disturbing the internet with maybes.

But those fixing the nation already have billions in their account. They have private jets and properties all over Nigeria. You will have to pay them rent or you are thrown out of their houses while you wait.

They own universities, so u will have to pay school fees while you wait or u are thrown out of school .They are into oil and gas and u must buy fuel from them while you wait.

Point of Correction:The current situation of Nigeria now is like that of a plane whose pilot collapse and died while on flight, the trainee co-pilot who never flew a plane before took charge. The plane starts perambulating instead. the passengers then realised the so-called co-pilot was inexperience, clueless and drunk, and even the 4 air hostess have taken charge issuing him command on how to fly the plane to salvage the situation, but to no avail. When it became apparent that they were all not gonna make it, fortunately for the passengers, there was an experienced and reputable former pilot among them who could safely fly them to their destination. The experienced former pilot volunteered to take charge of the plane to salvage the situation. While majority of the passengers agree, few insist they should take another chance on the cluessless and drunk co-pilot, afterall the experienced pilot is a Muslim and a Northerner, while the so-called co-pilot on the other hand is a Xtian and a southerner, so God would guide him to safely "fly" them to their destination. Majority of the passengers were shouting Change!, few were shouting Continuity! so, Pick your choice.

Are you enjoying the flight of the experienced pilot now?

Not too bad so far. The naira sells at close to 400 at the parallel market BECAUSE of the scarcity of dollars caused by CBN's deliberate decisions not to release it to some sectors. The real parallel value will be about 250 or so if the government devalues or the CBN becomes lax with its policies. I'm sure you know the underlying causes of these downturn in the economt is beyond the current government and we had better cooperate and look for lasting solutions.

Now none of them wants to look me in the eye. Some have deactivated their social media pages. Many have been sacked as that company chased them out and replaced them with "interns" doing the same job for N45,000. It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Can Nigerians pay the price of a new administration?

The current situation of Nigeria now is like a plane that has a leakage in the fuel tank while it’s in the air heading to its destination. If this plane is managed, it can get to a fuel station in another country where it can refill and move on.

Bringing in a new govt now is like bringing in an inexperienced pilot who will turn off the engine of the plane in the air, hoping to save fuel while the plane floats to its destination. We all know what will happen. For those that don’t know the plane will simply crash and all the passengers might die. I am sure you are thinking those that turned off the engine will die as well. Well you are wrong, they all have their parachutes, ready to jump out of the plane and float to safety. They are all wealthy and have all benefited from corrupt administrations.

Many people believe that once corrupt politicians manage to install buhari as president of a democratic govt, corruption will end. That could be true to some extent. But the problem of Nigeria at the moment goes beyond fighting corruption. It requires a lot of experience and planning, which buhari lacks.

Don’t see this as an attack on buhari or any party; this is just the honest analysis of what Nigerians should expect.

THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN IF BUHARI WINS

1, the stock market will crash totally as investors will pullout to understand the policies of the new administration. The election panic is already affecting the market negatively.

2, massive looting:- both pdp and apc politicians in power will want to clean out the treasury and destroy evidence. A lot of last minute contracts will be awarded.

Since the new govt won’t be sworn in till may 29th, this will give room for looting. I am sure most of you will say, once buhari comes in they will all go to jail.

Don’t forget pdp and apc members are all involved and buhari is known to protect his own. You can see this in the case of abacha and bokoharam. Also, this is a democratic govt, buhari can’t jail anyone without the courts convicting them with evidence.

3, exchange rate will skyrocket: - the naira is weakened due to the falling oil prices, as investors pullout their funds, there will be scarcity of foreign currency. A lot of people will save their money in dollars, others will horde the dollars. This will lead to scarcity, a dollar might sell for 3-N400.

4, while they are waiting for may 29th, a lot of issues of who is appointed what position causes problems in apc. When the new govt finally comes in, appointments take place, then the trial and errors of appointees begin .

Reshuffling of cabinet starts, while all this is taking place. The Nigerian plane is going down. A lot of uncertainties, mistakes, trials and errors etc. while all this madness is taking place, investors hold back, business activities are halted and the economy suffers a set back.


5, there will be lots of job losses than new ones. With the falling oil prices and the fall of the naira, Govt will have to shrink budget and block all loopholes of waste. Companies will have to cut down on staff, foreign investors will have to wait and monitor the policies of the new administration before they come into the country. This means that there will be fewer jobs. A lot of contracts might be terminated and abandoned, resulting in companies cutting down their workforce. So for those that believe they will be paid because they are unemployed, should ask where the money will come from.


6, lets pray no crisis arises from the niger delta region, if anything happens and affects our oil production amidst the falling oil prices. I wonder what will happen and how much a dollar will go for then, maybe 5-N600.


7, despite all that is listed above, politics is business. Those who invested in APC must recover their money no matter what is going on with the economy. This is Nigeria for u.


8, we all know that buhari knows nothing about economics and even if you employ the best hands to do the job, the person in charge should have a level of knowledge to what needs to be done. The new appointees will have to go through records of the past to know where to start from. While all this trial and error is going on, 4 years has gone. All we will be hearing from buhari and his team is that the govt is new and inherited a lot of problems. Nigerians should give them some more time and possibly a second term. Then with the untold hardship, Nigerians will start to ask for “CHANGE”….


9, most of you will say the stolen money will be recovered and brought back into the economy. The lawyers and judges have to eat, so even if the past administration is tried in court, the cases will be adjourned till 4yrs pass. Will buhari be the judge? If people will have to be tried and jailed for corruption, will buhari jail his own party members? That is why buhari has said he will draw the line and put an end to corruption. Drawing the line means that all those guilty of corruption prior to his administration will go free .

If u start to dig into cases of corruption, it will get to abacha's regime and u will be surprised at who will be exposed.

SO WHAT DO U WANT?

To crash the plane and let the corrupt politicians who have parachutes to jump out and have a soft landing while the plane crashes with Nigerian citizens? Or allow this plane to get to the nearest fuel station and refill?

Remember you will be asked to have patience while they fix the country. While you are waiting, there are no jobs, the dollar is on the high side, and you are running out of ur little savings.

But those fixing the nation already have billions in their account. They have private jets and properties all over Nigeria. You will have to pay them rent or you are thrown out of their houses while you wait.

They own universities, so u will have to pay school fees while you wait or u are thrown out of school .They are into oil and gas and u must buy fuel from them while you wait.

THEY CAN WAIT WHILE THEY ARE FIXING THE NATION THERE OWN WAY, BUT CAN YOU?

You may purchase a vehicle that you could still afford by doing an honest job like the rest of us.
You may even build yourself a home that you could still afford by doing an honest job like the rest of us.

Brother, you don't need to spew all this dishonesty just to afford a normal lifestyle that you can still achieve with honest work with the attendant self-dignity.

After reading the lies you were instructed to fool your fellow long-suffering citizens with, I am compelled to ask you, how do you sleep at night?.
