Nigerians indeed lack capacity for critical thinking. And it's the reason we will continue to be taken for a ride by the looters. We see those who genuinely are working for our betterment as enemies while blindly praising the real enemies as benefactors just because of crumbs of today. This is indeed very shameful!
The IB was a blame master. He blamed Buhari and Tinubu for Boko Haram, was caught red-handed stealing to sponsor vile documentary against them, blame governors for ECA sharing but spent the FG's share. The list is endless yet Ben Bruce wants to blend lies and half-truth for us.

You'd think being educated translates to being well informed. Unfortunately the first doesn't guarantee the later.
Anyone who keeps saying we should stop blaming GEJ is being economical with the truth. The truth is GEJ wrecked Nigeria with his handling of the economy. He didn't have to blame anyone before him because NO ONE ELSE had been so clueless, dull and Ineffectual as himself.

If we still have any truly sane man doubting that Nigeria would have been long grounded had GEJ managed to rig himself in, such person needs to be constantly reminded where the Ineffectual Buffoon left us:
1. The IB was already borrowing to pay salaries when crude was selling at $75 per barrel. At $40 per barrel, what miracle will he have done?

2. The paper Economist, who supervised crashing of the economy clearly stated that Nigerians should brace up for tough times ahead the moment crude fell to around $65 per barrel. Does tough times mean merry making times at $40 per barrel?

3. Despite earning unprecedented amounts from crude, the IB couldn't grow our reserves but even embezzled what he met.

4. About 28 of 36 States were owing their workers for up to eight months in some cases and there was already hunger in the land. Why didn't GEJ bail them out? Had Buhari not come to intervene just about three months into his tenure, what would have happened to those workers then?

Recently, the Gele woman who couldn't choose to resign to protect her name, revealed in a well publicized video that GEJ had zero will to save. Where there's shame, she will apologize to Nigerians for wasting our resources in times of abundance.

Same trash all through! Stop using low oil price as an excuse. Obasanjo came in at a tough moment too and never blamed his predecessors. He met the oil price low and did his best. If you keep blaming low oil price why did the naira sink further despite a rise in oil price last week. Stop finding excuses and tell your boss to get to work!

So, a one week rise in oil price will stabilize things? You are you people like this na? Obasanjo was more or less the start of this new Nigeria, so who did you want him to blame and it never still stopped him from blaming the military and Abacha for wrecking Nigeria.

We are all entitled to our opinion but as a public officer Sen Bruce shouldnt mislead us. Jonathan came on board via the Pdp umbrella, abeg who would Jonathan blame ? OBJ? or late Yar Adua?

Lol , this guy is a big joke. Nigerian youths need to come together and motivate one another , spread the gospel of a better tomorrow without this old leaders, we need a voice , we need unity. we all are suffering, until we see pass our tribe and elect people based on merit, then we doomed. This leaders all care about nothing but themselves and families. Can anyone name 10 Nigerian leaders ( leaders with influence ) with a clean record ? try please . just 10 that you can vouch for and defend. I cant even name 5. Nigeria future is bleak( ie our future is bleak)

What do we leave for our kids if they are leaving nothing for us? Job no dey , light no dey, road bad, health , schools ( intellectually we smart ). Until we snatch this country back from this elite ( naija is only for few and few only) , we are doomed. International community keeps looking at us and either laugh or feel helpless. We have internet, we have a voice , i just hope we can wake up and take back our destiny before its too late. Every naija youth knows Crude oil will mean nothing in the nearest future , make dem dey bobo us dey go and make we dey follow.

Progress to The Twitter Senator means free access to our commonwealth, unbridled access to our barn of yams by recalcitrant goats and losing our Sovereign land to a bunch of ragtag fundamentalists as a result of unprecedented and criminal looting of funds slated to buy arms.

Nigeria needs solutions to the recession kids are talking of punctuation
dude, yet, u need to punctuate your statements. Even if u are pinned on the seat of power to help with recession, u wld av done worse with this your art of writing.

And only kids like you do not understand why Nigeria is in recession. The reason why Canada and the likes of other oil producing counties were not in recession, despite the drip in oil price, is because they saved and developed their manufacturing industries.

How much did your GEJ saved and how well did PDP, for 16 yrs, developed our manufacturing industries?

Obj left the coffers with $45billion and save $34billion in the ECA...how much did Jonathan save?

We b though, his earnings for 5 and half yrs was half of the total of what Nigerian earned in oil dealings!

If I decide not to engage u in rational argument, it's bcoa u are a wailer- and wailers have nonsense of reasoning!!!

Oya, I dey wait... Bring on ur defense

Why and who will GEJ blame when he inherited abundance?
How much did he inherit and how much did he leave? We just thank God he didn't come back.
Ben Bruce, your state, Bayelsa is now owing salaries worse than Osun, and you ve not posted any common sense about it. Mr. Senator, hypocrisy is corruption.

Let's not pretend and tell ourselves the gospel truth, people are so much in hardship under this Buhari administration that they were under GEJ, unless you just for whatever reason decides to live in denial.

Ben Bruce should shut up and pay up his debt.

If he pay his debt to AMCON, we will be better off.

Jonathan saw an economy with the highest income from sales of Oil.

How many infrastructure and reserves do we have ?
