Your assertions are simplistic and naive. There is always a cause and effect. The economy of the nation was already spiralling down before GEJ left, and was one of the reasons he lost reelection. Unimaginable, the FG even borrowed to pay salaries before he left. PMB though also made some mistakes, but is encumbered in trying to clear the mess of the past administrations.

crazymommy:
Anyone who thinks orubebe did that for the love of nigeria is joking,he is fighting for his own pocket..

kasillars:

It is quite funny that when most ppl quote from the history lane, they always forget the paint the full picture or maybe just never finished the history class. Coz prior to 1984 when Buhari took over, the world was already heading into recession also and it affected all countries solely dependent on crude oil badly too which is exactly what is happening again. Pls, let's paint d full picture and call a spade a spade... Buhari might not av done much to help improve d situation, but he was never d cause of this problem we are facing as a country. This is a cumulative problem of all govt from military era till date who never had plans to save for d raining days or diversify d economy.

EVILFOREST:
BITTER TRUTH , however ORUBEBE remains useless

DrayZee:

Doesn't require any expertise. I'm sure that's why you believed that Buhari, a man who thinks everything, including the economy can be regulated by force, is worthy to be a President.

Ok, just tell me why the two times Nigeria has gone under recession, it was under Buhari. Or is it a coincidence?

samsam2019:
stop consoling yourself with stoopid lies


You guys are disgraceful and pathetic

CzarChris:
Let me agree with you on this, but the entire country is suffering this hardship called recession. GEJ planned a budget of 4trillion naira and the country was sailing smoothly. Buhari put up a budget of over 6trillion naira, and people are dying everyday of hunger and millions more a packing from the cities back to the village. My question is this. If Orubebe was doing this for his pocket and succeeded, won't you have preferred to be able to thrive and grow to what is currently going on in the country? (that's assuming you are in Nigeria)

DrayZee:

And who devalued the naira to that extent? Wasn't it the same Buhari?
He is the author of his own problems.

Please present your data.

GEJ left fuel at 87 per liter without queues, Buhari made it 145 per liter 8 months after, and that was after they told us his body language has repaired all the refineries.

The economy recorded 3.5% growth in 1st quarter of 2015 & went into a recession 6 months after.

Talking of causes & effect, some foreign CEOs of coys in Nigeria went to Buhari and cautioned him to tone down his rhetorics, he refused & $80 biillion in capital left Nigeria. Also, the elders of the South-south tried to seek audience with him after his swearing-in but he refused and went to U.S to call them 5% and the result is the resumption of millitancy that is responsible also for this economic mess.

Buhari is a failed leader, let him just go.

I really feel scared right now reading this comment from an educated youth I presume.

Oh yes we are going through hardship but for Petes sake the present dilemma is as a result of dwindling oil price that now hovers around 21 to 35usd per barrel unlike 100 to 160 during 16 years of PDP Era. ..
this people failed to diversify our economy and looted the reserve the oil boom Era made buoyant.

Our dwindling economy is made worse by the activities of Niger delta avengers who have crippled the production of crude despite the fallen price.

If as youths we reason this way you do then the future of this country is bleak

My dear brother, oil price hasn't averaged for 110. Doll/bbl since I can remember (at least since 2012). So I nor know where u get ur info from. Secondly if ur asking who saw d biggest price slump percentage den it was d previous administration cuz prices fell from 102$/bbl in Jan 2014 to 52$/bbl by March when dey left. Dats a whooping 50% decrease. So u see... don't just throw data from ur rear end.

Aufbauh:


4trillion naira at $165 = $24billion; crude oil sales averaged $110/barrel
6trillion naira at $385 = $15billion; crude oil sales peaked at $42/barrel.

This is our purchasing power in the world market which is popularly referred to as FX under the said comparative administration of GEJ & PMB.
It is instructive to note that this FX largely contribute to our GDP and consequently our standard of living as a consumer dependent economy whose major source of income is crude oil sales.

Sometimes you guys chunk out information without depth to defend your sentiment.

Jonathan and his igbo dominated cabinet ruined this country

Kfed4ril:


Bro please stop spilling trash
Like a year before GEJ left office the price of crude oil per barrel was already less than $72.
And dollar to naira was 199-216.
Is it our fault that buhari was useless enough to allow the naira fall as low as 450 to a $?
Bro buhari during his campaign promised to stabilize crude oil prices and make 1naira =$1, is it our fault that his level of illiteracy made him not to understand that one man alone can't stabilize crude oil prices world wide?
During his campaign he made mention of diversifying the economy but my brother reverse has been the case, GEJ did better the buhari in terms of diversifying. And so on

PedroJP:
A monumental failure since 1984, brought back in 2015 for the present to witness hardship he brings and confirm his failure record.


His illiteracy made him the only head of state overthrown without a single shot fired. All he knows is to scatter an already built system. What a juvenile attitude in an adult.


A leader plans and aims his target, not where we have buhari. He only wants a well prepared bed of roses so that he can come and roll from one end to another shinning his 32 without even bothering on how to keep the bed of roses intact. What a cow being !

Toks2008:


I don't know your age but in 1984 I was quite mentally mature to know what happened and the last time I checked Buhari was not even allowed to sanitize the country before he was removed after less than 2 years of assuming office.

Today we are asking for his head when he is barely 2years in office but we were so OK for 16 years when PDP was running our nation dry while throwing crumbs at us.
