I also remember under Umaru Dikko and Shagari - a can of peak milk sold 5 kobo but before Buhari left in 2005 - a can of milk was sold at 50 kobo or more.

GenBuhari: Please think carefully how General Buhari was able to sell petrol at just 50k /litre without claiming to be subisidising fuel even at a time when oil prices was a tiny fraction of present oil prices.

Please think very carefully about this and realise we are being decieved about the fact that fuel is being subsidised.

What we are doing is subsidising corruption of looting whilst we live without basic amenities.

When would Nigeria's youth wake up?

GenBuhari:

Sir, are you really General Buhari?

GenBuhari:
I am not even from the North

sheyguy: GenBuhari, please be reasonable this time, atleast for once. Buhari's govt could do that because the naira was strong and matched most foreign currencies in strength.
We are talking of a time when a HND holder in a good number of Federal parastatal could buy a new Volkswagen or Pasat from Leventis with one salary. How many graduate with Bsc today can buy a common made-in-china Motocycle with two salaries combined. The fact that Buhari decided not to subsidize crude oil doesn't mean he is responsible or a honest, to me.

GenBuhari: Well why not ask yourself why Buhari was able to maintain a strong Naira?
Simple - he refused to have it devalued.

Did you know that Obasanjo devalued the Naira by 500% (Five hundred percent)
Babangida devalued the Naira by 2000% (two thousand percent)

sheyguy:
What matters is that govt before Buhari did not devalue the Naira and that is the reason Buhari could play the no-subsidy game. The average man could still afford to earn well, a feat that had no connection with the Buhari regime.

sheyguy: No doubt IMF is one 'questionable' body with a rep for bad policies and Buhari did well to avoid them. But Buhari was a beneficiary of the previous administrations.
