If this still looks biased to anyone, then you're not objective enough.

But prices of items where lower in GEJ era. Why are the prices of items hitting the roof top in Buhari era? Don't you think GEJ had a better economic policy than Buhari?

Things are supposed to be cheaper now then because there is no much money, meaning no much demand for goods (based on your demand and supply stance).

I tell you the truth bro, Buhari economic politicies caused the skyrocketting of prices. Reasons are:
1. You dont just close borders without producing your own items. With Nigeria not producing anything, Buhari closed the borders and this encouraged smuggling. Buhari was supposed to ensure that Nigeria has started producing her own items, at least to a reasonable level, before closing borders. Buhari closed borders in EXPECTATION that we shall start producing hence the skyrocketing of goods.
2. Buhari denied flow of forex for importers which led to importers buying forex from blackmarket to import goods. What do you expect when forex is sourced at higher prices to import goods? Higher cost of items, of course.

APC and indeed Buhari should be practical instead of doing things in EXPECTATION.

blackpanda:


Omg! Where do these people come from?? Closed which borders biko And do u even have the forex to import? Gone are the days of importing toothpick and toilet roll. Oil is now $40 a barrel. Nigeria is broke

And fyi we are producing. Our major problem is packaging, storage and exporting. Nigeria is alreay producing rice and sorghum on a large scale. So pls check facts b4 posting

blackpanda:


Did u even read the post at all?? Ur questions have already been answered

Nigeria will be great again.

jamace:
What you stated in your post are lame excuses and not the problems. Stop giving excuses for APC lack of direction.

jamace:
If you are producing rice, why has a bag of rice moved from about N7k to about N20k per bag? And how much are you buying the toothpick and toilet roll today? And has Buhari established tookpick and toilet roll producing factories?

Stop talking theory. Nigerians are suffering. APC should know that electioneering campaign ended a year ago.

Wen Buhari usurped Shagari....why did he not fight for corruption?? Wen GEJ took over...why did he not look into OBJ's regime?? is GEJ's regime d only regime we hv had in dis country?? wen u fail a course in d university (datz if u attended any higher institution) do u focus all ua energy n attention on dat course instead of reading hard to cover up on oda courses? J. Rawlings of Ghana fought corruption remember oooo.....shea na so PMB dey do him own Rawlings did his abi?? a president dat only dwells on discussing d negative aspects of d country...hw do u xpct investors to cm ova?? d abacha loot dat was recovered during OBJ's regime where is it?? is dat one not Nigeria's moni? Oga face ua work oooo. an Igbo adage goes thus " ka anyi hapu efem fere efe chuwa ewem ga-ewe ihe" ( u can beg any of ua Igbo frndz to xpln)

You see the issues with your argument now is the problem we're currently facing in this country.

We should keep accepting corruption and non accountability as our
Because a regime failed to probe the previous means we must continue that way? way of life and we'll progress?
Does the fact that your forefathers make a mistake mean that you should continue?
Foolishness is to keep doing things the same way and expect a change.
And besides, OBJ that you're talking about left Nigeria debt free and with a robust treasury - I'm not saying he's not corrupt.

But this time around, Nigeria has been plunged back into serious debt with depleted reserves.

So what money will PMB work with??

phranq:



bros I cnt rmba reading or heard dat GEJ left us in debt.... bros he dat goes to equity must go with clean hands...if u want to fight corruption fight it on all grounds not being selective.

APC apologists are exactly the kind of people that keep blaming their ancestors for their current woes. Rather than roll up their sleeves and get to work, they sit,sulk and whine on how their father's father brother from their maternal side has been sitting on their progress and has placed a curse on their generation.
Government is a continuum. Every administration inherits liabilities and try to ameliorate the situation or make it better. Truth is buhari has no idea on how to tackle the plethora of problems facing the country. He is grossly incompetent, inept and bereft of ideas. Period!

GlorifiedTunde:


We do not intend blaming.

PMB got to work immediately by demanding for accountability and prosecution of offenders, you guys called it "witch hunt"; then we explained to you why we're doing what is being done, then again you called it blame game.

You definitely don't want Nigeria progressing.

I have responded to this on another thread.

cold:

I have no qualms with Buhari prosecuting those that have ràped our commonwealth. In fact, i see that as one of GEJ's greatest undoing. Giving his lieutenants a free reign. Even though the recent arrests and prosecution may look a little lopsided, when the PDP or any other party get into power next they should arrest and prosecute those found to be corrupt in the APC. That should balance things out. After all, it is not the fault of the APC that the PDP failed to prosecute anyone. But is that where governance ends? Have you heard of the term multitasking? What about the economy? What about electricity, what about infrastructure? Why must everything else suffer simply because Buhari is fighting a war on corruption?
Do you have any idea the number of promises APC made pre election? Not one, i repeat, not one has been fulfilled. What did we get instead; a complete volte face and belligerent denial that these promises were ever made. It's really sad how you folks continue to live in denial. Rather, attacking anyone that dared to bare his mind on the current state of affairs and continually blame the previous administration for their inability to perform. The question now is how much longer will the blame game go on?


Even Buhari in his private moments agrees he has no idea what he is doing

richeso:


don't lie to yourself tunde. i hardly respond to lies. but let me try.

1. "enough in the reserves and debt-free" No government have taken a debt-free regime.
2. spent six years, 2 years was an Acting president, actions are limited. not as elected president.
also on the 4yrs, Nigerians where not suffering like this even with bokoharam and ebola , Nigerians are not suffering to this extent.
if bokoharam was not politically motivated, it will be crushed by GEJ regime. we all know this. also there are good achievement in the first 1 year of GEJ even with a strong Opposition ( APC ) blackmailing and discouraging all Good efforts of GEJ regime, things were not as bad as this one.

let the truth prevails. APC is just useless.
