Ultimately, when the Buhari government could not come up with any viable economic programme, it resorted to the politicization of its economic ignorance by selling the notion that the government was a bulwark against the imperialist Bretton Woods institutions. But that can only take you so far, because while fighting the international community and international financial institutions over differences in policies that could have been resolved with a better and more intelligent engagement with all national and international stakeholders, the austerity measures the regime introduced made it quite impossible for the manufacturing sector to procure raw materials in the face of the international capital market being closed against Nigeria. Industries were closing, left, right and centre and capacity utilization was below 18 percent and at every point, the government was seeking scapegoats for its woes in the form of politicians, illegal aliens, smugglers and currency traffickers, etc. But the reality was there for all to see in workers being retrenched in every sector and even in the public sector. I remember at the time how drastically our lives changed as university students as we dramatically witnessed the rise in the prices of fees, feeding, accommodation and procurement of books, even as the lack of these books became the norm. Inflation hit the roof and essential commodities became scarce. The regime’s key economic policy in response to all this was to resort to the medieval counter-trade economic policy. But this became the new corruption point for the regime presided over by the new import licence czar, Mahmud Tukur. Attempts by some bold journalists to report on the corruption in the counter-trade deals were met with unprecedented brutality. They were picked up and threatened with charges of economic sabotage as a warning to their other colleagues. https://www.nairaland.com/1980406/think-buhari-not-part-1983 7 Likes 4 Shares |

World Cup 2010 In 2010 after the Nigerian football team failed to progress beyond the group stage at FIFA World Cup in South Africa, Jonathan declared a two-year ban on the country's national football team from all international competitions. FIFA, the world football governing body, objected and stated that it would expel Nigeria from world football if the government interfered. Subsequently Jonathan bowed to pressure and lifted the ban.[30] Removal of fuel subsidy Main article: Occupy Nigeria On 13 December 2011, the 2012 fiscal year's budget removed any provisions for the existing fuel subsidy.[31] According to a poll carried out by the Alliance for Credible Elections (ACE- Nigeria), 80% of Nigerians opposed the plan to remove the fuel subsidy.[32] On 1 January 2012, the Jonathan administration announced the start of a controversial plan to end fuel subsidies.[33] Many prominent Nigerians spoke out against the removal of fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration. Former Petroleum Minister Professor Tam David-West has spoken out and expressed concern that the planned removal of the fuel subsidy will squeeze the economy, increase inflation, and hurt both businesses and the public.[34] A former military Head of State and a former Minister for Petroleum & Natural Resources, General Buhari, urged President Jonathan not to remove the fuel subsidy and to tackle corruption.[35] General Yakubu Gowon, another former military Head of State, warned the government that the country's infrastructure should be revived before fuel subsidy removal steps were taken.[36] Former military president Gen. Ibrahim Babangida joined millions of Nigerians protesting against the removal of the fuel subsidy by the Jonathan administration, saying that the action is ill-timed.[37] Following the The Nigeria Labour Congress' warning that the country faces many strikes, the country unions followed up with strikes that were matched with civil protests from 9–13 January 2012. Protesters and groups called for President Jonathan to resign over the removal of fuel subsidies.[38][39] After five days of national protests and strikes, on 16 January, Jonathan announced that the pump price of petroleum would be 97 naira per litre as against the 147 naira the planned government's removal of subsidies would have taken the price to.[40] 1 October 2010 Independence Day bomb During his South African magistrate court trial on 2 May 2012, MEND's (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) former leader Henry Okah came out and insisted that President Jonathan masterminded the 1 October 2010 independence day bomb attacks. He told the court that President Jonathan and his aides organised the attacks in Abuja in a desperate political strategy to demonise political opponents, including the former military President General Ibrahim Babangida, and to win popular sympathy ahead of the 2011 elections.[41] The Nigerian Presidency has denied the allegations of terrorism leveled against President Jonathan. A media statement was issued on 2 May 2012, acknowledging the accusations from Okah. The statement went on to say that: “The Presidency categorically affirms that these allegations are false in their entirety and without any factual foundation." The Presidency also expressed no interest in commenting further for the time being, but planned to "make a full representation on the matter to the court when the trial opens."[42][43] Renaming of the University of Lagos In May 2012, President Jonathan changed the name of the University of Lagos to the Moshood Abiola University in honour of the late MKO Abiola. The action drew attention from critics; among them were pro-Abiola advocates and parties involved with the university.[44][45][46] Some critics cited that the President did not submit an appropriate bill to the legislature for the change; that the University's brand name should not be tampered with. The UNILAG Alumni Association commented that although they do not have prejudice against MKO Abiola, they were concerned "that neither the Governing Council nor the University Senate nor any other stakeholder was consulted before the change was announced."[47] Bola Tinubu congratulated Jonathan for taking action, but urged him to "do it right", adding that "we must be careful not to localise or sectionalise MKO". The President has attempted to regularise the renaming of the school by submitting a bill for an amendment of the University's establishing law to the legislature. Theft is not corruption In his speech, the President narrowed the meaning of corruption by officials: ”What many Nigerians refer to as corruption is actually stealing. Stealing is not the same thing as corruption.” [48] He was supported here by the Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission), Ekpo Nta, who agreed to this new definition.[49] Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act In January 2014, Jonathan signed into law the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act after it was passed by the Senate and House of Representatives. The law prohibits gay relationships, membership and other involvement in gay societies and organizations and gay marriages. Penalties can be up to 14 years in prison for gay marriages and up to 10 years for other violations of the law.[50] Within a short period, the federal police department compiled a list of 168 gay people who would subsequently be jailed. Within days, 38 lesbian and gay people were already jailed, with arrests beginning during Christmas. The anti-LGBT bill stipulates that those who withhold the details of LGBT individuals face prison terms of up to 5 years.[51] His decision and the law itself have been described as controversial |

Malam Detolee, the sad truth is that at least 70% of the electorate cannot read well enough to comprehend your epistle. The epistle is also useless to nairalanders because 98% of them have already made up their minds. My recommendation to you is to use your skills to speak to where the $10.8billion, which Iweala acknowledges that is missing, is located. 1 Like |

According to the BBC, "Buhari's attempts to re- balance public finances by curbing imports led to many job losses and the closure of businesses."[15] These losses were accompanied by a rise in prices and a decline in living standards.[15] Some may hold contrary view to this assertion and call it mischievous though,[16] because Buhari is admired by many for his uprightness and stand against corruption. His government is revered for its ability to keep the country afloat by making progress through sheer economic ingenuity even when it rejected IMF loan and refused to adopt IMF conditionalities to devalue the Naira.[17] His government is praised for its gain in reducing inflation by refusing to devalue the nation's currency, the Nigerian Naira, curbing imports of needless goods, curtailing oil theft and using counter trade policy to barter seized illegally bunkered crude oil for needful goods like machineries, enabling it to export above its OPEC quota.[2] The economic principles and political ideology of the Buhari military government is called Buharism by some political and economic writers and speakers.

I have tried I just cannot get there again. I think the news archive section of google news has since been disabled. But I assure you if you could get back archives of the newspaper cited you would find the news story the 5th February 1985 edition of the newspaper. There seems to be a conspiracy of western news media to delete positive news about Nigeria during the Buhari regime. kreamstaff: |

The rise in GDP was due to the "accident" of rising high oil prices. I say accident but I sometime wonder whether the US and its sidekick Saudi Arabia did not artificially maintain high oil prices for a number of years to use that as a basis of encouraging corrupt govt like our own to load up with ruinous IMF and World Bank loans, whilst feed off a large chunk of the money that we make from those high oil prices, through our looting politicians and clueless agreements. atlwireles: |

Now, datolee and barcanista i will simply conclude on the obvious, the two possible candidates of APC & PDP are corrupt and not the kind of leaders Nigeria need now, at least from the records. pls let all the intelligent nairalanders put heads together and start picking better people from our society and Nigeria as a whole irrespective of their tribe, language, religion, and geopolitical zone etc so we talk about their integrities and credibility in comparison to one another so we rate them and suggest the best, perhaps any of the leading political party can see this and and nominate him/her, you never can tell some of the political powers are also here, thank you all. This idea is little, but its positive and at least an idea. |
