It's your cup of tea, the shame is on lots of you threatening to destroy Nigeria if GEJ is brought to books

5 years Jonathan spent as Head of state is the worst in Nigeria's history but no , He's a saint to you

Let Buhari do what he can , it may not happen immediately but what we will be doing is enforcing Naira

GEJ is the most competent leader the country has ever had. His only problem was running the country in a position of fear. Maybe because he was from a minority.
how can he be competent and d same time fearful, a competent leader does not have a characteristic of fear, it is d fearless leader that is competent

Hhe doesn't have to regulate international oil price , He just needs to make sure our Naira is stronger with new policies, cutting excesses and of course trading within the country

I would think someone as matured as you would not be joining the copy and paste fulls

The magician will work it out!

one naira equal to one dollar....

Even Dr Pellar will be envious of this magician by now!

Its stupid of the marketers NOT to round trip the dollars, there's an N80 difference between official rate and black market rate; it's much more profitable to sell dollars than waste time importing PMS.
that is d problem, as i always say that d marketers are d reasons for dis fuel scarcity, even as they collect subsidy without supply, their cup wil soon full, and let no saTANist wailers cry of witch hunt when d hunting wil start

It is not the marketers fault, they are only obeying the market forces ....you can't force anybody to be patriotic. You plant mango for road and you expect people not to pluck?

Remove subsidy, let anybody go and buy PMS from International market and sell any price they like. Remove this fake dual exchange rate.

Do you see anyone hoarding diesel? Petrol stations are competing to sell the cheapest diesel

Does anyone hoard garri? - free the market jo!

It is crystal clear now that this present government is birate of ideas.That is why we keep saying that as a leader you have to be an all rounder which Buhari as a leader does not posses .As it seems buhari only idea is how to fight corruption and jail whoever that may seem as threat to his government.

Ok. I wish you are being objective but its clear you are a pained man cuz the last government lost out. Stop wailing and be objective by suggesting solutions. The clueless one gej was an all rounder and naija is still in this deep shit or you want to claim is this government that brought us here? Your last government is the worst we have had in a while it makes obj and ibb look like saints.

The biggest problem we have is our youths....most of them are clueless,lack discipline and don't know what's going on around more than hearsay. As for the issue of fuel scarcity,we should man our refineries work and produce to fill capacity that way cabals won't hold us to ransom,exchange rate will hardly affect it and we won't have to refine products outside here then go ahead and remove subsidy then can we have respite from all we 're going through concerning fuel scarcity.

Chai, if only Jonathan had built refineries with the sure-p funds rather than Choping the funds, we may not be in this position today.

Even worse is the fact that yaradua had already put plans in place for building three new refineries before his demise.

God put us in this situation and he will deliver us from it.
Have your government been able to maintain the 3 old refineries we have? Instead of government building new refineries, they should instead enable private refineries and sell off the 3 old ones.

Whatever we are facing now is the consequences of not been able to plan well when we had the oil boom. I simply do not understand why for 16 of our democratic dispensation we could not build just one refinery or support cooperate bodies to build one.

Take it or leave it I don't envy the PMB administration. With the dwindling national income and huge expectations from Nigerians and "lootercracy" that we have experienced in the recent times, it will take more than miracle for respite to come soon.

God bless PMB and Nigeria.

I am not attacking God oh. when God loves a child, he puts the child in a difficult position to teach the child a lesson. This is similar to the case of Joseph the dreamer sold into slavery by his brothers.

God made Jonathan our president at a time when Nigeria earned the highest amount of money from crude oil. God could have made any other capable person president but he gave us Jonathan.

I believe God wants to learn hard lessons, lessons that we must be united as a people and choose capable, incorruptible people as our leaders rather than voting on religious and tribalistic grounds.

Bollinger:


Let me summarize this for you since SH can't.

1. The Nigerian mentality is phucked up.

2. You have oil, you export it but can't refine for your own use.

3. You don't want Number 2 on the list because of corruption.

4. To solve your problems build more refineries.

5. Be more organized.

6. Countries like Germany don't have oil but there are no scarcity. Why is that?

7. The Nigerian mentality is phucked up.
Nigeria is a messed up nation...look at our government rigmaroling just to solve our down stream problems. . Let us practice true federalism and this shiiittt would stop..states with oil will build refineries and not wait or be dragged back by the whole mumu country...

LAGOS, Nigeria, April 29— Four months after seizing power, Nigeria's military leaders appear to be suffering an erosion of popular support.

Last Dec. 31, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari led a group of young officers in a coup against the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari, saying the takeover was necessary to save Nigeria, Africa's richest and most populous nation, from economic collapse.

The military intervention appeared at the time to enjoy enthusiastic support from a broad range of Nigeria's population.

Many intellectuals argued that the corruption and incompetence of the Shagari administration had made drastic action both necessary and inevitable. Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living.Growing Disappointment

Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government's approach and pace.

''Since coming to power, this Government has not found a single problem,'' said Dr. Olu Onagoruwa, a prominent lawyer and a longtime opponent of the Shagari administration. ''But it has managed to alienate the judiciary, the press, labor and students - all the groups that supported it just a few months ago.''

Critics of the military Government point out that it has yet to present its budget. Loan negotiations with the International Monetary Fund continue but Western economists say that Nigeria and the I.M.F. appear to be further apart now than during the final days of the Shagari administration.

Early indications that General Buhari would agree to devalue Nigeria's currency, liberalize trade and reduce domestic petroleum subsidies have so far not materialized. Prices Have Climbed

In addition, prices for food and other essential commodities, which fell in the first weeks after the coup largely because of the presence of soldiers in the marketplaces, have now returned to or exceeded their levels before the coup. Unemployment has been rising, and many of the imported raw materials and spare parts needed to keep factories running have been lacking.
They say Nigeria's bloated bureaucracy has been streamlined through the dismissal of thousands of officials and civil servants.

Three weeks ago an agreement was reached in London on converting a part of Nigeria's uninsured trade debts into loans.

The Government's critics respond that the economic initiatives treat symptoms rather than causes and aid the larger issue of how to restructure Nigeria's economy.

A Western diplomat said General Buhari ''could have accomplished so much if he had moved quickly and boldly in the early days when his popularity was still so high and when he could have credibly blamed everything on Shagari.''





Replace Shagari with GEJ..... then you will realise that you have to ask your parents how they survived in 1984 grin
You can thank me later.
