Fellow Nigerians, Buhari’s handlers keep on claiming the economy is collapsing under GEJ, and Buhari
is the right man to rescue it.
Fortunately for Nigeria and unfortunately for them, the economy isn’t collapsing. However, under
Buhari’s 20 month administration, the economy did collapse.
Here is an article from the Guardian of March 15th, 1984, a full 15 Months into Buhari’s disastrous
regime.
Titled ‘Employers complain of worst business situation’ it states inter alia:
“Nigerian private employers said yesterday that their companies were experiencing the worst business
situation in 50 years, as the Employment Minister… tried to assure them that the economy was picking
up.
The President of the Nigerian Employers Consultative Assembly (NECA), Dr. Michael Omolayole, said
practically all companies experienced a marked deterioration in their economic performance and that at
the same time unemployment rose to levels not witnessed for a long time since the 1930s.
He said the situation had forced some companies to open “the books”, and speak “frankly to their
employees about their company’s position and to listen to suggestions and constructive comments
which have come from the lowest category of their employees.”
Here is the actual article:

Compatriots, as can be seen from this article (and many others like it), Buhari was a man who
mismanaged Nigeria’s economy like a drunken sailor manages his savings while on shore leave: out of
existence.
In 15 months, Buhari managed to bring unemployment to levels not seen since the 1930s, expecting
him to create jobs now is like asking him to present his WAEC certificate, or debate GEJ, it just can’t
happen.
Truth is, while it’s not perfect, our economy is definitely healthy, growing and vibrant thanks to the
capable stewardship of Goodluck Jonathan, handing it over to Buhari, is like asking a hungry dog to
take care of your new born chickens because the hen is brown.
I realize your vote belongs to you, and you can use it how you please, but for Nigeria’s sake, base
your decision on historical facts about Buhari’s extremely poor ability and track record at managing
the economy, and not lies that Buhari’s campaign spends its time selling to you.
Thank you for reading, God bless you and God bless Nigeria! @mrAyeDee

This happens when one wants to rule with fundamentalism and authoritarianism! Tinubu is waiting for an oil well! From there corruption will start and spread. Back to square one!

Will they listen?
Thousands of jobs were lost in both the private and public sector during Buhari's regime yet some people believe he is the one to provide jobs for them.

Buhari head of state 31 December 1983 – 27 August 1985

So the economy turned upside-down 3 months after Buhari became president? Have you wondered why the military took office in the first place?

Fools like ayedee can manipulate idiots who can't do simple google search. Shagari has declared tough austerity measures months before the military took office.
