OBJ or NOI masterminded that debt relief ? Abeg, I challenge you to start a thread and we will put that Paris loan pay back against the World Bank Loan that he used to start his farm. Make sure you mention me, so we can discuss this intellectually, because I have pages of OBJs atrocities ready for posting.

Aha, immediately I saw his/her post on d debt relieve, I immediately understood d reason de call dem mast.urbaters.

I can't believe de hated NOI so much yet de give her accolades to d pervert called OBJ.

Students like this, tell themselves that their GPA of 1.35 after their first semester exams, is no problem. That they will recover by the second or third year. So they continue playing with their time, and deluding themselves. By the third year, their GPA is still crawling at 1.25. But their mindset, will be, at 400 level, I will blast. At the end of the day, they are lucky enough to come out with a PASS. Ngenekwenu, 4 years is not an eternity. The time to show gains is now, not at the end of four years.

The amenities you listed are not free in any part of the world. But then, even with all your money in your wallet, you wouldn't have been able to get them still if they didnt exist in your environment; if you had N1m in your pocket, you wouldnt be able to still purchase mobile internet if it didnt exist in Nigeria (as was the case just some years ago).

May I also remind you that it was through those numerous foreign junkets which OBJ embarked upon those days, that's how Nigeria was able to secure a debt relief of well over $20billion from the Paris club. It is sometimes surprising to see supposedly educated people asking what the essence of these foreign trips or diplomatic relations are.

'Nemo Dat Quod Non Habet"

You cannot give what you don't have.

Only fools and village idiots will expect anything meaningful from Buhari. Because even in 1983, his intellectual capacity is very doubtful. Fast forward 2015

The change is a scam by the born to rule Fulani masters.

An average of $245,000 per day minus presidential jet. Hmmm.

And the president has spent about 45 days offshore.

Well, some Mathematics.

$245,000 x 45days + (jet money) = $11 million + jet money

In naira= $11 million x 248 = N2.73 billion + Jet money.

If simple things like Taxi,Accommodation and Feeding would cost 2.73 billion, it would be safe to assume that JET MONEY would cost 3 times that amount. So JET MONEY would be equal to N2.8 Billion x 3= N8.2 Billion.

So Total on Junketing = N2.8 Billion +8.2 Billion= N11 Billion.



Now, 5 things N11 Billion would have done for Nigerians.

1)It would pay 600,000 Nigerian Workers minimum wage at 18,000 for 1 month.

2)It will buy 126 million litres of fuel at 87 Naira per litre. That's enough fuel for 10 days for 1 million cars if they are given 12 litres per day.

3)It would buy 3,500 Tractors at 3 Million Naira per tractor putting almost 100 tractors in every state definitely leading to an Agro revolution.

I don't know if I should kiss you or hug you infact I just feel like break dancing.

It really really sucks to be a wailer.

Most people don't see it the way you just did. All I see from Buharis trips is what is called market storming by marketers. I remember when I worked as a bank marketer then. Even our manager too goes out on his own to market bank products. What we always get are promises but after sometime we started getting calls from people in need of our products.

I once heard Tony Elumelu has an agreement with major airlines in Nigeria that whenever a very big player in the economy books a flight ticket, the next seat is reserved for him. They will now inform him of such person. If he wishes to have a meeting with the person, he goes on the flight, irrespective of where the flight goes to, have a brief meeting with the person and after the flight he takes another back to his office base. Now who take care of such bills.

When you know the people in your cabinet are up and doing, you don't have to be on ground all the time to solve everything. What now happens when and if he's not available. This is one of the change I campaigned for. Give everyone freedom to operate and do their job. If they fumble, eject them. The president does not have to attend to everything.

Probably the phones you use, including the internet on the phone you are using to reply to this was part of the outcome of those excess foreign trips OBJ made in his early days. Just like I said, it is difficult to directly quantify or point out what you gain directly. Just like the air you breathe, you may not see it, but it's there.

When will you become realistic and stop crediting OBJ with the internet or phones? The phones and internet would have gotten to Nigeria notwithstanding. OBJ's trip overseas was to seek what gangan?

This is the same SaharaReporters these Jonathanians did everything to disparage when they were reporting all the thievery of his government. They went to town with tales of how Tinubu and APC were paying his bills and get him houses in New York. As I write this Jonathanians have taken over the comments section of SR and it's now their darling news media since BreakingTimes have lost every atom of credibility. What a cretinous set of people. everybody who criticized the evil and armed robbery government were either labeled enemy of state or sponsors of BH.
What I know is that God in His infinite wisdom sent those lots packing from Aso Rock and no amount of wailing will bring them back.
And as for SaharaReporters I so much love the role they are playing in keeping our leaders on their toes. They are the true heroes of our democracy.

They existed before OBJ but were expensive just like everywhere else in the world. When the cheap ones were made for the common men it became viral like toyota. So pls stop crediting the works of other people to someone who didn't partake in the transformation rather give kudos to the japanese makers, chinese makers, et.al.

We could have secures the debt relief without him jetting out of the country. True or False?

Honestly this is not the change we crave for. The last administration was no doubt a failure but this present one is adding more salt to injury.

This is the exact reason why IBB planned a perfect coup when he was dethrone from presidency in 1984 or so as he was travelling all over the world like a tourist.

If the president continue like this, I don't he will be in power till 2019. Nigerians have been patient and our patient is running out of time.

A junket is a pleasure trip, often funded by someone else. You've probably heard of a politician taking a junket to a fancy resort or luxury hotel, all paid by using tax payer money.
