There is no gain-saying d fact that GEJ is a profligate president Irrespective of whatever d nay-sayers might think, all available financial indicators lends credence to d story above That what u get when u av a shoeless,clueless n thougthless individual @ d helm of affair of a potentially great country such as dis Little wonder he wanted 2 remove fuel subsidy when indeed he should av propose to reduce monumental corruption amongst his ilk I told friends alike to discountenance his paper achievements owing 2d fact dat I know what is happening in Akassa,Bayelsa n oda oil producing communities in d ND where in sophisticated n high scale bunkering is going on daily wt active connivance of evribodi security,communities n all dat I just pity dos who come here to argue n tynk we hate GEJ because he is a xtian and a minority Dis guy is an 'akotileta' Even d NDDC dat was established to intervene and facilitate a wholesome transformation n infrastructural devt of d ND is riddled wt nauseating corruption When last did anybodi hear dat d NDDC celebrated any project completed? Until d youths use dia brain n refuse to b browbeaten into chosing leaders based on which part of Nigeria dey come frm or what religion he practices,we won't ever get it right, 2 Likes |

REHOZIBAH: There is no gain-saying d fact that GEJ is a profligate president He is actually behind the subsidy scam. He carried it out with Allison-Madueke. This is why he opted for blanket removal of the fuel subsidy that would simply have destroyed 'evidence' to ensure perpetrators got away scot-free. This trial of suspected fuel subsidy scammers, obviously instigated by the brouhaha of the riot, is a ruse fooling no one. How long should the trial of crooks, who threatened the health of a nation, take in a serious nation lead by a sincere President? Most actions of GEJ indicate that it is highly plausible Nigeria is indeed financially distressed. Which balanced adult, honest with himself/herself, will dispute what is written below that indicates GEJ is abetting theft against Nigeria? Do we not all know the Ribadu petroleum task force gave important recommendations, concerning shoring up oil income through defeating sleaze and theft, GEJ totally chose to ignore? Assuming you ask someone to stop theft against Nigeria as they have the power to do in seconds. Will their refusal to do as you ask not indicate to you that the person is a thief himself? The Presidency source also revealed that Nigeria’s net oil export has been cut by half as elements close to Mr. Jonathan have engaged in massive oil theft with the connivance of the Nigerian Navy as well as members of the Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta region. 1 Like |

Sibrah: Fresh Air at a price! Fresh air indeed. It is fairly obvious what the chap is up to. Too crude, in a "don't give a damn" manner, for any truthful person to miss what GEJ is up to. |

If (IF) true, its like the proverbial Ostrich which hides its head in the sand and believes its not seen. When the Hunter gets to it, he will not miss the strike that will leave the bony head inside the sand and the flesh inside his hunting bag. In fact, his strike will be made easier |

As a member of the diaspora and as someone who socialises with traders and speculator in order to glean a poor man's investment info ,I can authoritatively confirm that Nigeria's outlook is as bad as depicted. Casual observer of the Nigerian landscape cannot but fail to notice the similarities between today and the profligacy of the gowon - shagari years. The import dependent economy was suddenly expanded (bubble)without any appreciable increase in productive and legacy activities. A rapid expansion of the public sector via dubious recruitments,creation of additional layers of bureaucracy and the outright corruption of the politicians. Add to this the inflationary pressures of such policies.add to this is the fact that the value of the naira is artificially high.right now,the federal government is spending to defend that value .while not a bad thing,but If these pressures were to continue,the money will simply run out .when that happens,the sharks will be circling to pick up the pieces.many will go poor as the baira loses value and standard of living plummets.expect crisis and instabilty everywhere and another brain drain as professional seek golden pastures abroad.expect a fire sale of all government assets for peanuts. I hope Nigerians are ready for what is about to hit them |

bloggernaija: As a member of the diaspora and as someone who socialises with traders and speculator in order to glean a poor man's investment info ,I can authoritatively confirm that Nigeria's outlook is as bad as depicted. They will never inspect what you say for factual/logical balance. Instead, insulting and childish antics is all you will get from clannish, ethnocentric and sectionally biased Nigerians. Economic analysts, home and abroad, have stated that Nigeria will simply not develop spending so much of it's yearly budget on recurrent expenses !!! They say we are 'propping up a house of card' with unacceptable high recurrent spending hovering around 70% when it should, for our situation, be much, much lower. Many nation host single digit figures for recurrent expense !!! Whereas, for a very poor nation that specifically needs to underpin development on very drastic cost-cutting and vastly increased capital spending, we uncharacteristically and self-destructively continue the indefensible habit of spending over 70% of our yearly budget servicing governance !!! When a President comes in, claiming he is "transformation", and then pander to the profligacy and waste that has gotten us to a very dangerous situation, why is anyone surprised about revelations below which seem logically factual, expected and entirely in order?

They don't dare touch pension fund. The new pension scheme is contributory and I can't work day and night only for thieves in the name of leaders to steal/squandered the money. There will massive unrest and total shutdown of the country if they dare touch pension fund. |

It's on record that Nigeria loses about $1billion to oil theft in a single month. Every big scam in this has the backing of the presidency. The fuel subsidy scam, the pension fraud and now, oil bunkering. This's why the real thieves will never be caught or-when caught-punished...the presidency is involved. Now we know what this oil bunkering is on about. The presidency in order not to raise unnecessary dust like that of subsidy fraud, decides to steal before it gets to government purse. I believe if the government is not involved in it, with all the noise about 'we lose billions of dollar to oil theft', the JTF has the capacity to stop oil bunkering within a month. |

This is the truth critical thinkers will discern. With the subsidy scam for example, it is only the NNPC , headed by Allison-Madueke, and the FG, led by GEJ, who are the only authorities able to issue marketers licence to prospective fuel importers. How come these two went ahead to issue licence , literally, to road side mechanics who would have found it impossible to prove they had the history, expertise or capacity to operate as fuel marketers? It is not rocket science. Merely a matter of Nigerians being honest with themselves and rising above sectional obsessions/blindness to see what what is undeniably obvious. |

otokx: There is no smoke without fire some say, well lets keep in view. It is even more than that. This is a President given direct recommendations on how to bring theft against Nigeria to an end yet he prefers trying to ridicule the source of such productive advice. To be honest, the overt corruption, dishonesty and insincerity of Jonathan is incredible. |

When Pastor Bakare said that Jonathan's destiny was to bankrupt Nigeria, it sounded like a joke. Now it's happening before our very eyes. I guess it's a good idea to convert one's savings to $$$ or even £££ before they crash the damn Naira. Or what do you finance pros think? 1 Like |

skyfall: When Pastor Bakare said that Jonathan's destiny was to bankrupt Nigeria, it sounded like a joke. Now it's happening before our very eyes. With our economy inextricably linked to the vagaries of oil price and continuous high demand for crude, our main worry should be the slow and clueless pace of developing the non-oil sector. The sycophants and praise-singers can say what they want but technocrats and economic analysts cannot all hate GEJ. Yet they are all saying virtually the same thing about his poor efforts. Most analyst would opine that the GEJ government is entirely gradualist and indolent with no reformist zeal or sincerity at all. http://www.nigeriaintel.com/2012/09/03/worries-over-greater-reliance-on-oil-neglect-of-real-sector/ Worries Over Greater Reliance on Oil, Neglect of Real Sector |

Diversifying the nation economy is the responsibilities of all level of governments. The states governors also have a lot to do to diversify the nation's economy. What are the state governors doing on agriculture? Of course the ACN/APC governors are also failing in this sector. |
