he's fvcked as Hell. He brought us here. He was actually telling us to do the right thing by voting him out, and we did just that.
He brought you here, but some of his policy is what is sustaining the government till date. check your record. your hero and lord has been in the office close to one year now without one clear policy, they are still brain washing you with corruption. was there no corruption before GEJ took over Governance in Nigeria. did you know how much your lord is spending travelling round the world even with our present situation. you people should let me hear word.

It is so amazing how people fail to see with their eyes but grop in the figment of their own imaginations.

1.GEJ was corrupt but Fashion commended his Road construction effort across the country.

2.GEJ was corrupt, yet Ratio Amaechi applauded his 3xtensive rail rehabilitation effort too.

3. GEJ was corrupt, yet him and his economic team managed inflation and held it down to a single digit all through his tenure.

4. GEJ was corrupt yet he sought to remove subsidy but the GURUS in power now cried wolf but did same in less than six months into power.

5.GEJ was corrupt, yet we had the fairest and freest election in Nigeria's history.

6.GEJ was corrupt yet we never had fuel scarcity except during the dying days of his tenure when opposition politicised and sabotaged his clean record of fuel availability to paint him black.

7. GEJ was corrupt yet he passed freedom of information bill and allowed freedom of expression across social media platform without gaging any body's voice

8. GEJ was corrupt yet...... I can continue endlessly.

Let's remove sentiment and appreciate good works for once.

Only time will tell.



This is the effect of his corruption we're dealing with right now. Bush's bad economic policies didn't begin to have a devastating effect until end of 2008. We were already borrowing money to pay salaries when oil was >$60. NOI was already making noise about tough times ahead even at oil selling at double of what it is right now. If they were already preaching doom then and borrowing to pay salaries, what do you think would be happening now? In 2015 they slashed capital spending to almost nothing, what do you think would have happened if they were there now? Nigerians always act like we suffer from short term memory loss. Any semblance of doing any work was because GEJ ruled this country during the highest oil boom as soon as there was a little downturn they stopped funding capital projects. Contractors stopped work because they were owed, oil marketers were owed. With the oil boom, they left humongous debt and diminished reserve. How do you make more, then owe more and have less? If they ruled how they should we should be several steps ahead as a country and we should not be feeling the effect so quickly because we'll have some funds left to act as a cushion.

I want this administration to be more aggressive in tackling this dwindling economy. I believe they could be doing more. I need them to treat it as an emergency and go after it with the energy and passion they're chasing Boko Haram and corruption but coming here trying to do some abracadabra like it wasn't corruption that got us here won't work.

Educate yourself more sir, last day to service 2015 budget is in March and since it had little to no capital expenditure, nothing really can happen till they pass the new one.

It takes courage to accept mistake and one trait of good leader is ability to carry others along.
GEJ was a very good leader, but unfortunately Nigerians prefare ruthless leaders who flog instead of patting on the back.

PMB will learn with time that you do not sail against the tide.
He wanted to be president or make the country ungovernable.
Now life has make him president..... he is still unable to make Nigeria "governorable"

For us Nigerians, I think its time we start appreciating what we have and make best use of the momment rather than cast blames on any one our thoughts reach out to.

Blessings

Answer this question, please what made GEJ a good leader?

Coming here to Blame GEJ this GEJ that is most nauseating to say the least.

How long shall we continue to campaign for relevance even after elections have been long concluded? Is governance not a continuum? If I see myself incapable of proferring solution to the problem at hand, while I willfully applied for the job, is it not high time the helmsman got down to work rather than chasing shadows when the jungle is on fire? At what point in Nigerian history have we got it right by redirecting the economic fortunes to the rightful channel of productivity?

We sing "The labours of our heroes past" in our National Anthem but focus only on GEJ who is the scape goat! Forgetting all past leaders who brought the country to its knees through one policy sumasult or the other.

How long shall it take the present government to let Nigerians see, appreciate and key into their economic policy framework aimed at addressing the recession hitting our economy?

Did you read about Wole Soyinka's advise on the urgent need to convene a National economic conference aimed at addressing the looming recession?

Many questions begging for answer. For me, the time of campaign is over, let the government of the day settle down and address /impliment the theoretical policies they promised Nigerians.

No amount of blame game and propaganda can save or absolve them from their vicarious liability/responsibility of governance.

Nigerians are watching.

I'm not here to blame GEJ, I'm over GEJ. I was here to address folks that want to erase our memory, those that want to write history wrong. Fact is we got here because of some actions that were taken previously but we are here now. All I need is for this government to do what they can to make this situation better. However, the realist in me says it'll get worse before it gets better because we don't have anything in place yet to save us from the beating we're getting from low oil prices.

He didn't have to be a prophet. He knew that the crude price was falling lower and lower. He also knew that nigerians where shortsighted, with short memory and would quickly forget what they have lost or where they could have been if they had not stolen everything stole able.

He also knew that nigerians are like the Israelite that forgot the pains and hardship they passed through in Egypt and wanted to go back there just because of the hardship of crossing wilderness to the promise land and by so doing, they quickly forget what gain whatever they have gotten by being freed from slavery

And he also planned to lose the elections right? Dumbo

You are still blaming GEJ abi?
Buhari's is almost one year in office and hasn't recorded any notable success either.
The economy is collapsing, Boko haram is still very much around.

The only thing making progress is Buhari's Global Tour Initiative which has made him visit nearly 20 countries in less than 12months with funds from the 'empty' treasury he inherited.

Buhari is actually taking us backwards.
Who goes far to talk about notable success? Even 'unnotable' success has not been recorded.

Let Jonathan and his co-travellers go and sit down. They brought our nation to its knees by what they did and what they failed to do. If we had built our reserves during rainy days, we would be able to insulate against the dwindling prices of crude in the world market. THose who claim Buhari and the CBN are wrong, i dare ask...What alternative policies do they suggest
As a lay man, i have considered this:
Devaluation of naira: Genuine importers of raw materials will buy dollar at 350-400 naira, price of their finished good will increase. Purchasing power of everyone will drop. including the masses who dont deal with forex, BDC etc.

What is the proportion of Nigerians that is affected by 1 dollar = 350 naira today compared to when naira is devaluated??
With the current regime, Every demand for forex outside genuine importers of raw matertials buy at black market (including those of us who buy cloths from Aliexpress, ebay etc..), including those who enjoy luxurious Dubai travels. Does the current regime affect Mr Salako who eats Garri (ijebu), Tomatoe (Kano), Onion (Sokoto), and Beans (Adamawa) and palm oil (Ondo) Does it affect the cost of taking the average civil servant from his house to work Does it affect the cost of buying 1 bag of Dangote cement to continue his 2 bedroom bungallow
Am sure tie and dye from Abeokuta or Aba made Jeans shoudnt be affected. So who are the real victims of this current regime of FX over-demand in the market?? My lay man perspective you may say.........

It's obvious you do not go to the market. Price of everything has gone up, from rice throught garri to meat.

With a Jonathan I saw the Road Map to the development of this country. He made the Road map to Rail Transport/development clear. He made the Road Map of Power Sector development clear. He made the Road Map of Agricultural development clear. He made the Road Map of all his achievements for this country clear in all the fields of human endeavor. But today I cannot see where we are going as a country. I cannot see where we are being lead to.

Jonathan got a PHD and applied it in his mission statements for this country. Nigerians enjoy 'gragra[b][/b]' men who likes to fight corruption and make a show of it. But we did not see that in Jonathan who today is the actual president that fought corruption and got so many things right with his BVN introduction.

I miss you dear Jonathan.
