While the government inherited a country withfallen oil price, the oil price has been achieving growth since the second quarter of 2016. In fact, oil price has been at increase since January 2016. For instance, as at January 2016 it sold at $30 per barrel, in April 2016 it sold at $41/barrel, it sold at $52.62 per barrel in December 2016, $54 per barrel in January 2017 and now it is selling in the same region, but withot anything to show for its growth.




You want something to show from a 2 year old government saddled with low oil price $54 and lowest forex reserve, but you have nothing to show for a 16 year old PDP government with the largest oil earnings, largest forex reserve and revenue in the history of Nigeria that also witnessed oil selling for over $100 per barrel?


This dude really can not be serious.

Oga, stop being mischievous,

If the governors went to court to share the Excess Crude Account,

Were they also responsible for the missing $20 billion,

Were the governors also responsible for the depletion of the external reserves?

Were the governors also responsible for the sharing of the ARMS DEAL money by Dasuki?

Politics should not take your senses away.

If you don't know the real story behind dasukis arrest just ask and stop embarrassing yourself. Why has buhari not arrested babachir his SGF?

Pricewater coopers, a foreign auditing firm has since debunked that 20b dollars accusation, and Jonathan did not mastermind any theft whatever. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Oil prices fell, so they govt had to use some (NOT ALL) monies in the reserve. So what's your freaking point?

I do not think I have time to read any write up by the unstable mind who jumps on the fence every now and then. A man should be known by a predictable content of character. To be very frank, there are people today who can give their lives to prove that Buhari is doing wonderful, and yet there are some of us who believe Buhari is the worst thing to happen to Nigeria since the civil war.

As rational humans, we need to seriously look at Nigeria in a very wholesome way. This man Buhari is following a fractured law that has killed Nigeria gradually. Buhari is a robotic arm that simply follows the laws to its mission while protecting 'his own people'.

Let us come out all of us that believe we love Nigeria to say that we can not operate 3 or more constitutions, Sharia, 1999 Constitution, Local customs and tradtions as well as Jungle Justice System are all forms of laws operable in Nigeria.lol. We must come to say that Quota System, Federalism as we used today, nepotism, tribalism have to STOP. If we do not accept to stop these vices and Unify all the laws into a single constitution, then Lord Lugard's experiment ends. There is no way to mend this everlastingly, without re-discussing our togetherness.

Every other steps taken is just a gum on the temporal forced union.

Let us stop blaming Buhari. He is just a sick robotic arm of our tomfoolery. Make we dey fool ourselves dey go. Soon, Ghana go dey deny una VISA.

IYes, Jonathan had lots of flaws(which I usually point out) but Buhari is NO better in areas where Jonathan flopped.

Yes, Jonathan refused to sack Moro for the bloody exercise but Buhari refused to sack INEC Chairman, the IGP and his Interior minister for BLOODY ELECTIONS in Rivers and Bayelsa states.


Yes, Oduah was indicted and was relieved after pressure on Jonathan but DSS indicted Magu yet he was never relieved. Reps indicted Babachir for N270m grass cutting IDP deal, yet he is in office. There are plethora of petitions against ministers Amaechi and Fash, yet the President isn't shaking.

While Jonathan made relative progress in the economy, achieving economic growth, Buhari has made retrogression and achieving negative growth.

What has Buhari done differently?

Dear TonyeBarcanista,

If this is all you could write, you are a COLOSSAL disgrace to the entire Nigerian youths, you are also a great INDICTMENT to the TENETS of GOOD GOVERNANCE,

So you don't know that there is a difference between ECONOMIC GROWTH & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT?

With all the data that you claimed was achieved under GEJ, did it make YOUR life better under your hero of corruption?

Despite the having the biggest rebased economy, how is our quality of life better than that of South African under GEJ?

Has it made Nigeria developed than South Africa, Ethiopia or Rwanda?



You did not explain how $47 billion reduced to $30 billion with oil at an average of $100bpd but you could blame the governors for the ECA?

You did not mention how Sanusi was booted out of CBN for blowing whistle on the missing $20 billion under GEJ

You did not talk about our ARMS MONEY were shared by Dasuki for politicians under the direction of GEJ

You also forgot the BLOODIEST RECRUITMENT conducted in the history of Nigeria by by Abba Moro whom GEJ refused to sack

You did not mention how Nigeria was disgraced by South Africa with the over $15 million found in Oritsejafor's private jet

You failed to tell us why Okonjo Iweala was borrowing to pay workers salaries despite the oil boom,

You did not tell us what happened with Stella Oduah's BMW

Or have you for gotten the Andrew Yakubu's loot?

What about the $15 million MEDICAL FEES of PEJ?

You failed to mention how Tompolo had 13 billion naira in his account?

What about Obanikoro's confession that GEJ ordered him to ferry over 4 billion naira to Fayose?


So, all these did not put Nigeria in a sorry state?

Every time I read your article, I'd always thought you meant well for Nigeria not knowing you can't be a good Councillor let alone a President

ONCE MORE, you are A DISGRACE to COMMON SENSE!!!


Wow, you actually checked barcanistas whole garbage article, for that I commend you.

Oil price has been on the rise since January 2016 without corresponding rise in the economy.



Your problem is deception and flawed logic.


The corresponding rise in the economy when oil was selling for almost double under Jonathan was borrowing hundreds of billion to pay workers salary and warnings for Nigerians to get ready to suffer.

Can you even show us what Nigerians gained for huge oil earnings under Jona when oil was selling for $100 per barrel?

Also show us the corresponding effects in terms of infrastructures delivered with the largest oil earnings and huge forex reserve under Jona and 16 years of PDP.

Impeachment of President in Nigeria is technically impossible. Resignation is also impossible in Nigeria also. Death is not what we pray for, so we are left with the option of the ballot.

TonyeBarcanista:
By TonyeBarcanista


In May 2015 when President Muhammadu Buhari was inaugurated as the 15th President of Nigeria, a lot of expectation was placed on him especially when factoring his numerous promises. Though, I will be fair to him by not judging his performance based on some of his ridiculous and unrealistic campaign promised.

PRE-BUHARI ERA
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
Since 1999, Nigerians have been desirous of a better deal from successive administrations for different reasons, a demand that peaked in 2015 which saw the sacking of the former ruling PDP administration of Goodluck Jonathan to usher in the present Buhari government.

While President Olusegun Obasanjo was credited with his economic revolution that saw our external loan of $36 billion cleared, external reserve risen from a paltry $1.5 billion in 1999 to $45 billion in 2007, Excess Crude Account risen from $0 in 2004 to $25 billion in 2007, the entry of Mobile Telecommunication giants and crashing of phone tariffs, the various industrialization and promotion of local content that helped in agricultural growth, Nigerians were upset with the government due to its failure to fix power/electricity despite sinking $16 billion for the project. Despite the fact that Nigeria GDP maintained a growth of 5.5% in 2000, 6.7% in 2001, 14.6% in 2002, 9.5% in 2003, 10.4% in 2004, 7% in 2005, 6.7% in 2006 and 7% in 2007 from the 3% it obtained in the Abacha era, despite the fact that the administration created the two anti-corruption agencies, EFCC and ICPC- agencies that fought corruption to the point of prosecuting high ranking party members and officers of government , despite the fact that NAFDAC that fought successfully the scourge of fake drugs under the leadership of Amazon and Heroine Professor Dora Akunyili, Nigerians wanted more. Nigerians were upset with the government because the citizens expected more especially political stability, strengthening of INEC, The Police Force, The EFCC and ICPC and other institutions of the State. On the strength of the Naira, Obasanjo government deliberately and repeatedly devalued the Naira from 22/$ in order to allow for industrial revolution and give it its real value, which was pegged at 120-125/$ in 2007.

Umaru Musa Yar'Adua
In 2007, Obasanjo was succeeded by Umaru Musa Yar’adua of the PDP, who came through a somewhat controversial election. The late President would rather institute policies to see to the strengthening of institutions like INEC by initiating the electoral reforms. Musa Yar’adua went further to implement several court judgments that was ignored by Obasanjo, he created the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to tackle the problem of the region and initiated Amnesty process to pacify agitators in the creeks. The government reviewed the deregulation policy of the downstream sector by the Obasanjo administration and relaxed the pump price of petrol from N75/ltr to N65/ltr in order to accommodate the yearnings of Nigerians. Yar’adua was more of a pupilist President that reversed the power policies of Obasanjo and also reversed the sale of the country’s dilapidated refineries just to please labour leaders (actions I consider to be unfortunate). Under Musa Yar’adua, the country experienced a GDP growth rate of 7.2% in 2008, 8.3% in 2009 and 8% in 2010. To the credit of Yar’adua, the external reserve grew from $45 billion that it inherited in 2007 to $63billion in 2008 but finally at $47 billion in 2010 when he unfortunately died in office but depleted the Excess Crude Account to $9billion after the government partly yielded to the demand of governors. In 2007, Naira was exchanged in the range of 120-125/$ and was left at 150-155/$ in the parallel market, achieving a 20% increase. Nigerians wanted more.

Goodluck Jonathan
When Goodluck Jonathan took over government he continued with the electoral reforms of Yar’adua, he further implemented court judgments and signed the Freedom of Information Act. Jonathan took the agricultural revolution of Obasanjo to another level, a policy that saw a 25KG bag of rice falling to N8000 and a relative affordability of prices of other agricultural products. Under this era, Nigeria managed to achieve a single digit inflation rate under the administration, the government also achieved relative success in power decentralization and road and rail construction. The government was however unpopular due to the depletion of the reserve from $47 billion it inherited to $30 billion it left it, the depletion of the Excess Crude Account from $9 billion it inherited in 2010 to $2.1 billion despite oil boom period- no thanks to the demands of state governors to “share the money”, which most of them couldn’t justify. The government was also accused of not doing enough to fight corruption and even accused of being corrupt; the ongoing arms probe is more of an indictment. A further dent was the failure to tackle BH insurgency. Though the government inherited the naira at N150-155/$, it left it at N199/$ official rate and 220/$ in the parallel market. Despite the flaws of the government, the administration achieved GDP growth rate of 5% in 2011, 4.2% in 2012, 5.4% in 2013 and 6.3% in 2014.
Nigerians wanted more and brought in the Buhari administration with hope that he would achieve it.

PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ERA
When this President came in, Nigerians were expecting improvement in their livelihood, job opportunities, zero tolerance to corruption, political and judicial stability and consolidation of the gains of the agriculture sector.

Since coming to power, instead of increase in living standard, Nigeria is experiencing massive decrease. Lots of job loss, the GDP that was experiencing marginal growth since 1999 shrank by -2% in 2016, inflation rate increased from 9.6% in December 2015 to a whopping 18.72% in January 2017, achieving over 100% increase. Price of basic commodities has shot astronomically high from what was obtainable before the government came to power. There have been lots of job losses with firms either downsizing or folding up completely. The government that came to power on anti-corruption rhetoric has repeatedly looked the other way in corruption cases that has to do with friends and officers of the administration. For instance, while Olusegun Obasanjo sacked Fabian Osuji, his minister of Education in 2005 over accusation of bribery, Buhari has refused to act on SGF Lawal Babachir, Ibrahim Magu, Rotimi Amaechi, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Raji Fashola and others indicted in one corruption case or the other, an action that has made rubbish his so-called arms probe. The President came with pledge to make public his assets and liabilities, yet, Nigerians have not seen to that. Instead of bringing fresh ideas to government, the President brought in those that were “former this and former that” under former governments of PDP due to their hunger to continue to remain in relevance, despite having nothing of value to offer.

We have a government that is running on the highest budget in the history of the country yet, the masses are crying and dying of hunger. Recession that was hitherto left in economics text books has now become an anthem in the lips of many. The government that pledged against medical tourism in foreign countries is the same government practicing it. To the credit of the government, Boko Haram insurgents are relatively contained but Fulani herdsmen have taken over with minimal challenge. Election in the country is now a case of thug of war as the government, instead of strengthening the electoral body (INEC) and security agencies to be more professional, has instead adopted the abuse of State institutions in the name of “federal might”. While the government instituted Whistle Blower policy, Nigerians are wondering whether the policy does not affect the National Assembly, because the President and the Presidency looked the other way when Kano state Rep member, Hon Jubril Abdul blew a very BIG whistle that has to do with corruption in the House of Representative including himself. In fact, Jubril was punished for daring to blow whistle. Under the administration, electricity tariff has increased by over 100% without a corresponding value of electricity and the power situation which was relatively stable in 2015 has worsened. Naira situation has worsened from official rate of N198/$ it inherited to N305/$ while the “real rate”/alternate market rate increased from N220/$ to N505/$, achieving a shameful 130% depreciation rate within a space of two years WITHOUT any form of industrial growth.

While the government inherited a country withfallen oil price, the oil price has been achieving growth since the second quarter of 2016. In fact, oil price has been at increase since January 2016. For instance, as at January 2016 it sold at $30 per barrel, in April 2016 it sold at $41/barrel, it sold at $52.62 per barrel in December 2016, $54 per barrel in January 2017 and now it is selling in the same region, but withot anything to show for its growth.

Nigerians, including those that supported the administration are yet to understand the kind of government in place. Nigerians wanted a better deal and improvement in livelihood but are getting the complete opposite of what they signed up for in 2015. It is an indictment on the administration that some people are crying that things weren’t so bad previously (that is not to say previous governments were Eldorado).

Two years on, instead of counting our achievement, the masses are lamenting woes. The government keep blaming past administration yet without any solution to myriads of problems. What if Obasanjo had spent his time blaming the military regimes of Abacha and IBB? Nigeria is such a sorry mess.

President Muhammadu Buhari has failed Nigeria, he has made Nigeria a mockery in the committee of nations, it is only God that can give the Nigerians the grace to endure and survive his unfortunate leadership till 2019 when they will have opportunity to kick out the government for good.

Here we go again. I'm sure you deliberately skipped this part, else you wouldn't have typed the nonsense.



If you had paid serious attention to comprehension lessons during your secondary school days, I'm sure you wouldn't have typed the rubbish up"

IYes, Jonathan had lots of flaws(which I usually point out) but Buhari is NO better in areas where Jonathan flopped.

Yes, Jonathan refused to sack Moro for the bloody exercise but Buhari refused to sack INEC Chairman, the IGP and his Interior minister for BLOODY ELECTIONS in Rivers and Bayelsa states.


Yes, Oduah was indicted and was relieved after pressure on Jonathan but DSS indicted Magu yet he was never relieved. Reps indicted Babachir for N270m grass cutting IDP deal, yet he is in office. There are plethora of petitions against ministers Amaechi and Fash, yet the President isn't shaking.

While Jonathan made relative progress in the economy, achieving economic growth, Buhari has made retrogression and achieving negative growth.

What has Buhari done differently?
And you didn't hear saraki read the last part of the report that said Magu should be given a chance, you see, you have a right to push cases against Lawal, Fashola and Ameachi if you have any.

Uncle, like I said Nigeria was not an Eldorado under PDP but not pathetic like we are experiencing today.

The 2015 second quarter GDP experienced 2.57% growth..
http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/189026-nigerias-economy-records-2-57-growth-in-2nd-quarter-of-2015-says-nbs.html

Are you satisfied?
Are this daft? Was Jonathan not borrowing to pay salaries few months before he left? Was he not owing some Ministry workers before he handover to Buhari?
If a well developed and rebased economy that Jonathan acquired and developed was still that strong, I very sure that a whole FG with strong developed economy that have not collapsed will still borrow to pay a recurrent expenditure such as salary. Is just like you are telling me that a father that can not meet up the demand of feeding his house is highly buoyant.

Summary is that Jonathan had destroyed the strong economy he once built by his reckless way of leadership/corrupt associates and handover already distressed country economy which later manifested on change of government. Just imagine if CBN had not bail out Union bank then, the next MD will be tagged a failure not knowing that the then big, strong and reliable bank then was just a walking corpse.

Re: The Sorry State Of Nigeria Under President Muhammadu Buhari by IPOB123london: 4:46pm On Feb 16, 2017
what is so difficult for some people to understand that the boko harem chief from Kastina is a failure

Even the westerns world had the economic freeze in time and still come out of it

but what we have here is the boko harem hausa fulani in alliance with the afonjas will never accept that they have finally killed the dear Nigeria.

It easy to say Jonathan this and that but why then did it take the boko harem chief in charge to appoint emergency economic minister to engage the dwindling economy eh; even His wife accused APC of fielding incompetent ministers before she was marched in to the other room

Hahha there is one thing these people failed to know; what goes up must come down no matter the number of times they march in the strreet of Kano; have u notice nobdoy is trekking from Lagos to Abuja for the boko harem chief in charge; because the hunger has taken over

Stay tune and watch your stubbornness kill you finally;

By the way we are still waiting for his asset declaration; we are not asking for his certificate any more

Dear TonyeBarcanista,

If this is all you could write, you are a COLOSSAL disgrace to the entire Nigerian youths, you are also a great INDICTMENT to the TENETS of GOOD GOVERNANCE,

So you don't know that there is a difference between ECONOMIC GROWTH & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT?

With all the data that you claimed was achieved under GEJ, did it make YOUR life better under your hero of corruption?

Despite the having the biggest rebased economy, how is our quality of life better than that of South African under GEJ?

Has it made Nigeria developed than South Africa, Ethiopia or Rwanda?



You did not explain how $47 billion reduced to $30 billion with oil at an average of $100bpd but you could blame the governors for the ECA?

You did not mention how Sanusi was booted out of CBN for blowing whistle on the missing $20 billion under GEJ

You did not talk about our ARMS MONEY were shared by Dasuki for politicians under the direction of GEJ

You also forgot the BLOODIEST RECRUITMENT conducted in the history of Nigeria by by Abba Moro whom GEJ refused to sack

You did not mention how Nigeria was disgraced by South Africa with the over $15 million found in Oritsejafor's private jet

You failed to tell us why Okonjo Iweala was borrowing to pay workers salaries despite the oil boom,

You did not tell us what happened with Stella Oduah's BMW

Or have you for gotten the Andrew Yakubu's loot?

What about the $15 million MEDICAL FEES of PEJ?

You failed to mention how Tompolo had 13 billion naira in his account?

What about Obanikoro's confession that GEJ ordered him to ferry over 4 billion naira to Fayose?


So, all these did not put Nigeria in a sorry state?

Every time I read your article, I'd always thought you meant well for Nigeria not knowing you can't be a good Councillor let alone a President

ONCE MORE, you are A DISGRACE to COMMON SENSE!!!



sharrap, I pity you people.

exlinkleads:



thank God you are alive and a very good write-up anyway

But i have to ask. why would Nigeria wait for 2019 to oust Buhari?

I may be a novice in Nigeria law, but i believe in any democratic set up, there is always a clause to vote a president out if he is not performing via the senate and the law makers.

Correct me if am wrong, isn't this a criteria to vote a president out by impeachment?
you are really kid, just go and play

You are perfect example of an educated fool...did you just asked this stupid question:

"with all the data that you claimed was achieved under GEJ, did it make YOUR life better under your hero of corruption?"

Even a fool and a bigot knows life was far better during Jonathan's era...you must be reta.rded to say life is much better under Buhari than as it was during Jonathan...abeg no let me swear for your destiny.

The reason Nigeria is in such a great mess is because educated fools like you voted for a gworo chewing kunu sipping illiterate daura bastard.
