1,"..... since "there's sometimes a 'better the devil you know' factor" in times of crisis in Nigeria, a generally conservative country."


2, "While Nigeria faces a more austere budget, its debt remains low, certainly when compared with the developed world.

3, "Nigeria with its low debt ratios and fairly liquid markets has more capacity than most to increase borrowing ... to see it through a short-term price shock," says Razia Khan, Standard Chartered's Head of Africa Research.

[b]IMPLICATIONS OF THE ABOVE:

1, It has always been better to have the devil you know than having the angel you do not know. This time, there is hardly any Nigerian and foreigners that closely watch Nigeria who do not know that Buhari is an Islamic extremist.

That in 2001, Buhari charged Muslims to ensure that extreme sharia laws already adopted by 12 northern states be implemented in all over Nigeria. Immediately after that, Boko Haram appeared and has maintained that it is fighting for a country governed with extreme sharia laws.

2, That Nigeria's debt remains low compared to those of the developed world; this signifies that a good economic team is handling Nigeria's economy which became the most lively economy in Africa during the administration of President Jonathan.

3, Nigeria with low debt and more liquid markets stands the chance of increasing borrowing, but Jonathan's government has since resisted excess borrowing, despite financing a war wittingly or unwittingly waged against Nigeria by a group which wants apex political leadership of Nigeria at all costs.

What other way to give pass mark to a credible and focused government like the incumbent govt of Nigeria?

GEJ till 2019!!![/b]

we don't learn in this country. The economy is getting worse as the day goes by, corruption at its peak, and other I'll forms of sucking this nation dry with the incumbent government chasing unseen enemies. Yet we say we are educated, the economic crises we are facing alone is enough reason to send the present government out of power but we won't cause he built road and Bridges (that's if he did or they would last), as if its not his job before. We have our voters cards, out voice and its our power, use it wisely if not we would continue to experience a downward trend till we become old and probably wise.

Before being MILITARY Head of State, Buhari had been Governor of one of the Northern States (under Obasanjo’s Military government) as well as Minister for Petroleum. He later served as Chairman of PTF under Abacha. Please consider the following unassailable facts:

- He birthed and supervised the establishment of our existing refineries.

- There was no religious crisis while he was Head of State. It started under his successor IBB!

- In his time as Head of State he reduced inflation from 23% to 4%, by fiscal discipline and a homegrown economic team (not achieved under any other era, even military).

- JJ Rawlings of Ghana took over 2 years before him, and killed all the corrupt leaders, while Buhari only sentenced the corrupt leaders here to prison.

- Under his watch as PTF Chairman, what he did in road construction in that short period hasn't been matched by 12 years of the PDP.

- Hospitals and universities around the country never witnessed as much benefits as they got from the PTF from any government after or before his time.

- Despite serving in senior capacity in the oil sector, first as Minister for Petroleum and then Petroleum Trust Fund, Buhari has no petrol station,much less a rig, refinery or an oil block like so many of our leaders.

- He could have retired into nauseating opulence like an IBB or Danjuma or even OBJ but didn't.

- Instead of hobnobbing with the high and mighty, he has cast his lot with the ordinary man most of who follow him out of hope and belief in his values.People who know him have said of him... "All I need from Buhari is his word, I can take it to the bank".

- He is the only politician in the North today who fills rallies without renting a crowd. The Kaduna rally of 2nd March is eloquent proof.

- He refused to collect an allowance while serving as Chairman of the PTF because he said since he was already drawing a pension from government, his conscience would not allow him to draw another salary from the purse of the same government.

- He is the only former head of state that does not own property or land in Abuja.

- Every attempt to rubbish him through probes in time past ended up vindicating him! The man who was asked by OBJ to take over the running of PTF before it was scrapped with the aim of probing and indicting Buhari, was the one who ended up being prosecuted
for misappropriating $100m of PTF funds! Buhari again, was vindicated

- He has OPENLY challenged those who accuse him of religious fundamentalism to come out and show proof. No one has till today, taken up the challenge.His personal driver of many years is a Christian from Plateau State.

- His government initiated the War Against Indiscipline that has made environmental cleanliness, queuing up, not urinating by the roadside etc features of our national life even till today Does it then surprise you why corrupt people would be spreading such heinous rumors about Buhari?

Will Ross of the BBC said the same thing the other day and the supporters of APC bad-mouthed him... now Roiters sees it the same way - that Jonny-boy will retain his seat in Aso rock come Feb. 2015; but the supporters of APC still are doing strong-head and making noise all over the place... it will only take the actual defeat of Buhari; and that is exactly what is going to happen.

They have eyes but they can not see... all because of their ethnocentric, bigoted minds.... but tis well, Nigeria and Nigerians will overcome.

Nigeria's economic crisis may not affect GEJ because the effect is not yet pronounce. What will affect his re-election include his failure to checkmate BH, his presiding over war crimes, his love for thieves and the theft of those around him. Nigerians are tired of this man. He is not fit to rule us.

What baffles me is how these international media are always biased in reporting African stories. Nigeria has 760 tribes but Reuters only saw Igbo traders to interview, how is this report supposed to reflect the true situation on the ground?
