“We must be patient and rational in our thinking for the inevitable change of the Buhari administration to come. It will surely come, but it is not a magic wand.”

“It is, therefore, irrational for anybody with perverse mentality to say that they should bring back corruption. The truth is if Jonathan had won the 2015 election, by now Nigeria would have completely become a failed state like Zimbabwe with huge inflation rate of N10 billion, or probably all of us would have to carry our little belongings to seek refuge in neighbouring countries.

Corruption is not Nigeria's problem.

Absolutely!... With the lightening speed downward acceleration which the country's economy experienced in the last 6-8months of Jonathan, I wouldn't even want to imagine what would have happened had Jonathan won that election. Glory be to God for his mercies on Nigeria!

Who is this man, is he God to know that Nigeria would have collapsed had Goodluck won the election. Nigeria survived the worst global recession under Goodluck in 2009/2010 so who told him Goodluck wouldn't have managed this better. Below is a little description of 2010 global recession from wikipedia yet it Nigeria didn't feel it like what is happening now in this administration.

"The 2009 global recession, also known as the Great Recession, was by far the worst of the four postwar recessions, both in terms of the number of countries
affected and the decline in real World
GDP per capita." Wikipedia

[s] That is a big fat lie. Goodluck and NOI had a simple foolproof plan on how to sustain the economy. Their plan would have simply been to keep on encouraging the private sector, through SME's, while loosening government control on the economy. This would have made the Nation's economy attractive to FDI's, and thus would have kept the level of investment into the country at a healthy level. Also, both SURE-P and the other poverty allevation programmes would have helped transfer money directly from the government to the citizens, without any confusion. In the area of the Fuel subsidy palava, NOI had already started an aggressive campaign to cut down the amount of money the FG was paying to the oil marketers, while utilising the influence of the moderate number of friendly marketers, inorder to prevent. Hoarding and sabotage. This and many more would have been how the administration of GEJ would have navigated us out of the economic malaise Subsaharan Africa is currently experiencing. The problem with the APC government is simply that of planning, they failed to plan, and thus, PLANNED TO FAIL.
And, also what does a SAN know about economics, he should keep to helping Buhari waste his time and our money in his fruitless anti-corruption campaign, instead of exposing his ignorance to Nigerians[/s]

I agree with that.

Buhari's competence in areas where Jonathan was most incompetent proved him a compelling choice.

It's rather shallow of some people to think it as a gang up between the North and West. A lot wasn't going for the country at the time. It's only natural that discerning minds demand a change of course. It's normal that beneficiaries of the abyss be conservative. I'm only surprised that they've taken to horrendous acts to spite the people and government of the day after losing in a contested election.

Jonathan himself foresaw his impending loss and did everything in his power to bring it to a halt. Obviously, he was oblivious of the fact that the course of destiny can never be altered.

Like I said on another thread, Nigerians should rather be thankful for the change, were it not so, things could have been worse by now. Imagine experiencing such economic downturn coupled with pilfering, cronyism and rarefaction... that's some hell!
