God will bless buhari and every nigeria politicians that has the interests of their people at heart.let jonathan keep quiet,lest i'll be tempted to call him clueless and drunkard as he's fondly called by some people today. Jonathan was too careless as a president and lootings took place indiscriminately under his watch,which partly caused the problem we are facing today.as it's not proper to attribute the whole blame of today's problems on him, same way we cannot completely unconnect his name from today's problem. So he should keep quiet and allow the current regime fix things.

Okoroawusa:
Na now PDP wake up?

They should be glad that BUHARI decided not to interfere wit d judiciary.

If PDP was in govt n APC had d kind of crisis they had,that will be d end of APC.

Waiting for 2019.

If PDP had been countering APC lies and deceit from day one. Things might not have gotten this bad. So many people bought APC lies and cut them too much slack! Imagine taking six months to appoint clueless ministers

jpphilips:


While you made very valid points with a balanced observation, I will tell you what PDP is yet to do even in opposition, they have not proved they have the solutions to the current challenges we face, the challenges are here already and no amount of banters will wish it away, let me give you a few examples from the reply Jonathan gave.

Jonathan said that since oil contribute 15% of our GDP (a figure I doubt because I know how GDP is calculated), fall in crude price should not be a problem, well, oil shock occurred in August 2014 during his presidency, by feb 2015 (6 months after), jonathan's finance minister borrowed to pay salaries, dont think im making this up, permit me to show you:


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-3070070/Nigeria-borrows-pay-salaries-cash-crunch-worsening.html

In the words of Jonathan's finance minister, I quote;




With this fact before us, it simply tells me that Jonathan was completely disconnected from the realities Iweala was facing at the time, in other words, jonathan has no clue what crude shock has done to our economy during his reign, how do you expect him or his pdp to fix what they don't understand? or even understand what Buhari is passing through?

I don't want to discuss the journey so far in the fight against insurgency but if for any reason Boko haram was downgraded from a force of over 300 riding trucks and motorcycles to attack villages and kidnap dozens of women and kids, to a mere hide and seek organisation, sending pockets of suicide bombers and laying ambushes in hit and run objective, whatever Buhari and his military did that downgraded Boko haram despite not having $2.1b to throw around is worth giving praise, that is, if you are anywhere close to the epicenter of the conflict.

In conclusion, while Buhari's economy is fvcked up and desires a huge improvement, PDP and other Jonathanians need to be schooled on the effect of a 70% loss from the federation account as a result of crude shock. Jonathan and his gang need to be sober for a period of 5yrs for what they have done to the Nigerian people, in sobriety, they are expected to use that period to study the economic realities in Nigeria and come up with sound solutions, who knows, sane Nigerians may give them a chance once again.

tuniski:
Solid evidence based response! APC now has its hands full. PDP now on the attack!
Nigeria sai PDP!!!!

chukxie:
Any leader that can ensure Nigerians enjoy constant, affordable and reliable electricity supply; effective and affordable transportation systems, portable drinking water, affordable and accessible health-care, and quality education will get my deepest support and ever lasting admiration. All of the above indices are missing in Nigeria. I'll never believe any word spoken by any politician in Nigeria until I begin to see the above mentioned areas of neglect being improved on.

WhiskeyTangoFox:


You misunderstand my approach. This isn't an attempt to use Jonathan's administration as a yard stick for excellence, personally I think he's the weakest president/ruler Nigeria has had from independence till date. But pls gather the issues Nigeria and her citizens faced under Jonathan, then compare it with the current plight of/in the country then maybe u'll begin to understand my perspective. I'm not commending the performance of pdp (as incumbent or opposition), neither am I rooting for pdp, bt I believe we hit an all time low under the current leadership. It's been both comical and disheartening to experience, a complete shit-storm where no form of shelter can keep one immuned, well except those making it rain. If it's not falling on you, then ur getting choked with the stench around.

your last sentence, let me ask you an honest question dude (I suppose), if you are a child in a family where your father just lost his job, he doesn't rush out by 7am anymore to return by 6pm, will you still ask your mother why there is no meat in the soup or do you embrace the reality that the earnings of the family has dwindled?
Nigerians are like kids who are still asking for the usual three lumps of meat when their father just lost his job, you can not bring to a logical bare the sufferings of Nigerians currently without fixing culpability where it rightly belongs. The country is an oil dependent economy and oil price has crashed, there is no miracle that will make you to continue living like a king, that is a fact!! You must understand this fact, embrace it and accept it by taming your expectations.
whether it is a Jonathan or Buhari, I only expect proper management of our dwindled income not growth, realistically speaking, both of them have failed woefully in that objective, while a Buhari will grant forex subsidy to religious fanatics, Jonathan is willing to dash the federation account to a pretty minister, so PDP and APC have nothing to offer us in the philosophy of prudence in a dwindling economy.

If you excuse the economy, it is no rocket science to know that buhari is a far lesser evil than Jonathan.

Buhari is actually the next President. The PDP is finished. The major reason being APC social welfare programmes and the lack of money to spend for campaigns. Nigeria's president is elected in the rural areas . APC still has Lagos, Kano and FCT . The votes from the northern heartland, SW including Ondo, Edo and Kwara will ensure an APC win.

Babacele:
Wendel Simlin Can only fool fellow fools. Why did Nigerians vote out Gej and PDP? ....because of unprecedented corruption and clueless. It was so bad that Gej's finance minister and the coordinator of the economy told us to prepare for recession in 2014 when her ministry started borrowing money to pay salaries.
I reproduce her warning below:

At least she said we should prepare for recession and which recession did not come. What of this administration that did not admit that the economy might enter recession and did not agree that the economy is in recession but said we will be out of recession.

Note, one thing that is common with this govt is lie and blame others for their mistake. Or did they come out to say d president is sick and he is going for treatment?

Nigerians should brace for

oil prices slipped to a four year
low on Wednesday.
New York Mercantile Exchange
(NYMEX) December WTI oil futures
sold at $75.20 per barrel on
Wednesday, down $1.98, from $
74.96 per barrel the previous day,
the lowest level for a most-active
contract since September 2010.
Though the price of sweet crude,
the blend of oil export from

close of trading on Wednesday to
$76.96 per barrel, it has already
crashed below the $79 per barrel
benchmark approved in the 2014
Appropriation Act, concerns are
mounting that tough times are
indeed ahead.
At the end of the Federation
Accounts Allocation Committee
(FAAC) meeting for September,
Federal, States and Local
Governments were only able to go
home with N603.5 billion
allocation after they resolved to
borrow about $2.76 billion from
the Excess Crude Revenue
Account to augment shortfall in
revenue generated during the
period.
The Federal Government had
attributed the declining revenues
to the fall in prices at the
international oil market.
After drawing from the ECA,
Minister of State for Finance,
Bashir Yuguda, said the balance in
the account had dropped further
from $4.1 billion to about $1.34
billion at the moment.
But Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said in
Lagos on Tuesday that the
economic indicators show there
are tougher times ahead.
Though she said the country’s
External Reserves rose from $
36.6billion at the end of June to $
39.48billion by October 16, and
the balance in the Sovereign

It will be a miracle if apc retains the presidential seat in 2019. All the odds are against them , their leader is sickand dying,their party is sickand dying even their programmes and policies. Many of their strong members are now openly castigating the party and openly flirting with the opposition. Only a miracle can save apc
