hinwazaka:Jonathan was not as clueless as obasanjo according to you. That doesn't say much about your Jonathan. All I know from my unbiased view is that they are all worthless leaders who had pauperised a nation. Hopefully, Buhari will turn things around. Enough of Nigeria being a hell hole on earth. 4 Likes 1 Share |

socialmediaman:. Before and during GEJ's tenure I was a huge critic of his administration. My belief has always been that Nigeria will grow by the strength and capabilities of all Nigerians and not by the influence of one man. My anger is that we are once again making the same but somewhat worse mistake. GEJ was no Roosevelt but one thing he knew how to do was being able to sell anything even snow to Eskimos. While growing up My folks always told me of the worst government they ever experienced. The bumbling and ludicrous government of GMB. Things got so bad they could only eat once in two days so that they could feed my elder sister. That is something I don't want anyone to experience. The fact is we can not give what we don't have 7 Likes 1 Share |

Lucasbalo:. Einstein once said "There are two things in life which are infinite, stupidity and the universe. With that in mind, you can see that incompetence has its grades. If GEJ is clueless to you then you should wonder what PMB could become. 3 Likes |

hinwazaka: I doubt your sincerity but let's address this issue objectively. Who brought us into this mess? was it Buhari or GEJ? It is on record that GEJ had resorted to borrowing to pay salaries when the administration got broke. Was this Buhari's fault too? What wrong has Buhari done? He met a virtually empty federation account, only $29 billion in the foreign reserve, what is he supposed to do? If you truly love this country as you claim, you'd be so angry like I am with GEJ and you'll support any move by Buhari to recover stolen wealth from the past government. I am pissed with GEJ because we witnessed oil boom during his government, yet he couldn't save, neither did he invest the money on job creation and infrastructure development. Some children disown and curse their parents for their irresponsibility, its equivalent to what Nigerians did to GEJ. And please don't give me this "was he the one who started it all" because if he decided to join the league of those past criminals, then he deserves their place in history too, a place in our ugly past 14 Likes 3 Shares |

BossTtdiamonds:. And this is partisan to you right I clearly elucidated on the difference between both administrations. The government of Gowon knew where it stood and had no reservations about it while PMB and his party are seriously confused on all issues including what pyjamas he should wear at night 3 Likes |

hinwazaka:When you live in a country that an average citizen makes less than $2 a day and you are idolizing one of the evil perpetrators, its beyond comprehension. I don't have a bone in the fight over the leadership of Nigeria, I just want the best for the country. A country that's supposed to be an Eldorado is a perpetual third world. My hope is that Buhari will make a difference. Nigerians deserve better.i am not in support of any of the leaders and Buhari included. I hope the country moves forward 3 Likes |

socialmediaman:. First and foremost the cause of our economic malaise is a plethora of factors. For one the oil glut and the oil crash played a huge part in dismantling the already weak foundation. second its on record that madam NOI forecasted this situation as far back as 2012 during the subsidy issue, no one believed her. Third our crash was a collective failure of all sides, both the PDP and the APC and not GEJ alone. The fact is as I state once more you can not give what you don't have. During the nurumberg trials, a witness was asked what he thought of General Tojo. And he said "General Tojo is a common soldier put him in charge of ten rifles and he will do fine but put him in charge of an armoury and you will see a catastrophe". General Tojo is just like PMB 7 Likes |

hinwazaka:The bottom line is that Jonathan was over his head as a leader and he was a monumental failure. I have always said he couldn't be a councilman here and if Buhari fails to perform, the same faiths awaits him. Let's hold the feet of this worthless leaders to fire. They are public servants not public looters. Until there is a massive revolution like the one that kicked Ferdinand Marcos out of the Phillipines, Nigeria will be a mess. Buhari must turn things around and if he doesn't, the country will rise against him like they did Jonathan. Critiquing your leadership is the highest form of patriotism. 7 Likes 1 Share |

I simply refused to read the whole of this knowing it's definitely from the stable of detractors. Please note that when Gowon rejected the invitation; 1. Only students who could not make WAEC were sent to USA for further studies 2. The Naira was stronger than the dollar hence parents sent money to their children /wards studying in the USA from Nigeria 3. Government officials then did not loot the government treasury and used USA as safe haven for their loot 4. Nigeria's crude had little or no competition then 5. There was nothing like INSURGENCY, MONEY LAUNDERING, ETC. THEN, FINALLY, WHERE OTHERS WENT WITH ENTOURAGE OF ALMOST HUNDRED AND ABOVE, PMB HAS GONE WITH JUST ABOUT THIRTY.
