What kind of progress took place during the administration of the Clueless one?
You must be day dreaming Mr Ben. Wake up joor and stop spilling lies that are unfounded and ridiculous.

Have you forgotten that so many Nigerians (millions)wanted GEJ to continue by voting for him ? Do you not see that even after losing the election by less than 3million votes, he still has a lot of followership and supporters ? It is only Ben Bruce that thinks he moved Nigeria forward,more than 40% of Nigerians thought so and now the number is even more because I have seen a lot of those who campaigned and voted for BMP that now regret doing so. Unfortunately, your Baba is reversing all the progress made.

If PMB had allowed the jagaban's camp to handle the economy, the likes of ben bruce will not come up with this thrash. How come with all the recession, Lagos state is still implementing projects all over the place. PMB is not getting his politics right and these PDP goons are already taking advantage.

Honestly I don't blame Bruce, I blame the APC who can't keep their house together all because jagaban must be tamed. Already there is panic in edo state as APC is likely to loose hence the plan to postpone the guber elections.

Its high time PMB get his politics right but seriously we were making progress under Jonathan? chai its better to allow dasuki run the country then grin

I respect your comment, bro. Others are busy writing like they've got no sense at all. Both GEJ and PMB are clueless!

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.

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!

And what progress have we made under your PMB regime? Under Pmb we be a Fanstastically corrupt Nation, A government full of Liars, National budget was padded, inflation hitting the roof. My dear, it would have been better we were in that clueless regime.
One of the progress made under PMB is; before he was elected in Nigeria was among the corrupt nations in the world, but now Nigeria is fantastically corrupt. That's a feather on his PMB's cap.

When oil was over 100 usd, excess crude acc is piling up, reserve is doing well. Compare to what he Gej left. The founder of sense making actually doesn't have sense himself
the truth is, only very few people are rational in Nigeria. No sane person will applaud GEJ for crashing Nigeria. Still wondering one tangible project achieved during GEJ ''s time of boom. No refinery was fixed, roads neva completed, electricity zero. A pity!

So, you are so proud that a thriving economy handed to Buhari can be so battered in 15 months. I thought Buhari was the messiah you preached about. If it takes APC 15 months to destroy a thriving economy, I am wondering how long it will take to rebuild it

If you feel u know better, in accounting there is what we call asset and liability. During handover period, all these were given to the govt of the day and he signed.
What is the word CHANGE if not to correct mistakes of the past.
when you blame, you cant progress.
Bible says remember not the former things or the things of old. i guess you have not come across that scripture.
for instance, if a management mismanages the activities of the organization and was sacked, a new management comes on board to do a transformation. The new management will not give excuse to the board of directors that it cant manage the process due to the past mismanagement. The new management proffers solutions by coming up with sound policies that will make them meet their goals and objectives. With this, i believed you are lectured.
You can blame Jonathan forever but nobody,i repeat nobody can pull his hair off muchmore arresting him.
If not for him,you and I might not be alive to write .he showed respect to our soul by handing over honourably.this shows he has the fear of God.I am not supporting his shortcoming but we need not to blame but look for solutions.

search your conscience bro because this blame game is getting stale by the day even lair Muhammed the charlatan have stopped it a bit

I did not champion anybody's course and i dnt av to. I am a common sense citizen not a politician.

The fact remains that Buhari was the best alternative during the election and even now. You can join PDP in screaming we told them.

There is no money to share by Dansuki so they can send you to go and restore the lost glory by dead brain arguments.

We can talk about impact and forget the cause i guess.

Anyone who has a decent understanding of how economies work would know the principle of cause and effect. He will also know that an economy destroyed for sixteen years cannot be rebuilt in a year or even two without going through tough times. Change is not same as miracle!

If Bruce didn't talk about this nonsense, when last did the govt play the blame game? But if any of PDP sympathizers bring this issue up, we have tge right to remind Nigerians how we got here.

You have sense.
I'm disappointed by the level of thinking of the average Nigerian.
it is very sad that they would criticise the first govt trying to do the right thing.
Our exports increased this year and is projected to continue that way.
Our agriculture is looking up for the first time in a long time.
The current hardship is inevitable... The GEJ govt could have prevented it if they were more responsible with spending.
I rest my case.

All those in support of GEJs govt should be examined. they are the problem with this country.
