And then Babangida introduced the second tier foreign exchange market (SFEM) in august 1986. The naira was devalued that year by that government and it heralded the challenges of our currency. Before then one could travel to any country in the world with the naira and exchange it in any bureau de change. See, the problem of this country started during the Shagari regime and blown out of proportion by Babangida. Each time we attack Jonathan I wonder why the people of that age fail to tell the honest truth. This country was damaged by the military and not Jonathan. Babangida and Abacha put us into this mess we are presently facing. Neither Jonathan nor Buhari caused it. Our problems became compounded by the greedy politicians who are the animals that Trump talked about.

Yes but so did the small boy called Jack from 1966 to a whole 1975, plucking everything up and allowing himself to be toyed by Smarter and sharper people from London

Who noticed that naira became weaker to dollar during Buhari's first coming?

And see how far he's taken naira in his second coming..

You're still wondering what his third coming would look like for the naira should he be re-elected again?

Your guess is as good as mine!!

Include Obasanjo

Jonathan was having a good mind but he allowed useless and griddy politicians to carryout their atrocities

Though I know there was a time naira was stronger than dollars, I doubt these records because Nigeria started using naira and kobo in 1973. How come the records include 1972?

And full life cows that was in power between 1985 - 2015 (30 years), could not build every thing back, especially the full life cow that ruled between 2010 - 2015?
