There is a simple explanation, and no i am not defending the govt.

1.During GEJ'S govt, the oil price was $94-120. That meant we had enough dollars to buffer the naira...and as a result the value of the naira was stronger..meaning we needed fewer naira to import rice.

2.Now, during Old Man Bubu's govt, the price of oil has fallen to $28-65. This means we have less dollars to buffer the naira, and the value falls.Meaning we need more naira to import the rice.

3.If oil jumps up to $100 again, rice prices will fall...see1 .

4.What does this mean?

a)INCREASE DOMESTIC RICE PRODUCTION...via mechanised farming and irrigation

b)Get other sources of dollars...ie industrialization., industrialization.

Fin.

Modified...To all GEJ and PMB supporters....if you guys can stop quoting me to fight your continuing battle over who is better or worser....and look at my point number 4 again...you will see where our problem lies.

Thank you.

Here's what I typed

"If you quote me again without answering my questions, you'd have accepted that you are a DEM*NTED ID*OT!"

Yet you quoted without answering my questions.

Good thing you know you are a DEM*NTED ID*OT.

Au revoir!

There is absolutely no difference between Buhari, GEJ, OBJ's tenure. In fact, the worst was OBJ's presidencey. What is happening now is not new. It is Nigeria's history. Just listen to fela's songs now and you'd think he just released them yesterday. Meanwhile his songs are like 30 to 40 years old. What does that tell you?

NwaChibuzor909:
Merry Christmas to the greatest leader in Nigeria's history. We all miss you.

Not a fan of any of them...... bt i think Jonathan is better in terms of compassion.

Guyman02:


Abacha is one of Nigerias best rulers minus yoruba led NADECO media propaganda against his Govt

Thank you GEJ, now we understood what you meant in 2015,that we will celebrate you when you leave office, please on behalf of my fellow Nigerians we are sorry

Engrghidazuka:
PMB is a symbol of hardship and misfortune!

Doyin2:


Thankyou.Many Nigerians are so gullible to political theatrics.

How do you expect price of rice not to be higher when the dollar revenue shrank due to oil price crash?

And by the way,these are temporary times.How much will rice be when PMB leaves in 2023?

Present comparison is baseless and stupid.

davidif:


In behalf of you and who? Please speak for yourself abeg.

Goodness gracious! This shows you how much this country and continent has suffered that some people miss someone as poor a leader as GEJ.
Our electoral system has to be overhauled to allow us to get better candidates instead of whoever APC or PDP give us. Both parties have been truly horrendous.

princechurchill:
To my Muslim friends Merry Xmas and also rejoice with us over the declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital

nely:

gej wasn't too good but he was better than this man in charge now

DateMynd44:
shut up. Jerusalem belongs to Israel. That is the final declaration.

FILEBE:



You are assuming wrongly. There are people in other parties that wants to make a difference. It seems APC and PDP have succeeded in brainwashing us all. We are not a two party system so why base the election on both?

mikolo80:
intention is not the same .even Jonathan and obj wanted to make a difference. And ppl can tell who is serious and who isn't. And most people and parties are not serious.good intentions is not enough. I want results not intentions. That's why I voted for apc to get rid of apc . Nothing good can come of PDP.

NwaChibuzor909:
Merry Christmas to the greatest leader in Nigeria's history. We all miss you.

davidif:


GEJ was horrendous he failed in so many ways and the incumbent seems to have made things worse.

We need to completely overhaul our electoral system. It has completely failed us. When a system is bad it would always lead to bad outcomes as in bad leaders.

BeijinDossier:
GEJ is a legend

ABIOLAXYZ:
GEJ the moses of our time

blacknp:
A bad tree will always yield bad fruits,you people Nigerians are a bunch of Hypocrites that hide their wickedness behind religion.

The children of Israel asked yahweh for change after 400 years of slavery in Egypt,Moses was sent to deliver them and after only 3 days in the wilderness they cursed God and Moses for delivering them from Egypt,a journey of 4+ days ended up taking 40 years and no one from that wicked generation saw the promised land.

I am sorry for you people the mosque and church will not save you people from your hypocrisy, you do not want to sacrifice but you want to enjoy,i was told you reap what you sow.

FILEBE:


Oh oh. Mikolo80. . I can say the same, nothing good can come out of APC. I would have thought you to be an APC fan if you had not spoken against Ambode. Glad to know you are not partial. But you are still getting it wrong, so it seems. Let me summarize that Atiku and Buhari should not be an option for the presidency let's see what other parties have for us and we choose wisely. Jonathan and Obj are incomparable. While one is soft, listens to people and tries to please them all(a mistake) , the other is strick and enforces his rules. Obj would have been Nigeria's best president but he didn't do much to salvage Nigeria's situation even after 8 yrs. Presidency is not limited to APC and PDP let's vote for the best man.

correction
2 good things came out of APC Jonathan and PDP were removed and power of incumbency has been demystified

I don't mind another president so long as its not PDP cos if they ever get into power they will never allow an unrigged election again.

Again none of the other parties have candidates that can win.
They lack money
They lack name recognition
They lack ideas
They lack conviction
All useless from Chris OKotie to uTomi to gani to Soyinka

Brilliant in their fields
Useless in politics or economics

deomelo:





They lied to you because he's the most horrible and vindictive president ever.


Was he compassionate when he refused to accept the fact that the chibok girls were kidnapped and ultimately refused to rescue them till the world force him to accept that fact with BRING BACK OUR GIRLS.

Was he compassionate when he sent the military to attack news outlets, publications and destroy their properties including news items?


Was he compassionate when he used the military to crush innocent subsidy demonstrators in Lagos.?


Was he compassionate when young job seeking Nigerians died and refused to return the job application money he scammed fro them and refused to apologize or even punished the people involved?

Was he compassionate when he looked the other way while his cronies were looting the treasury or when he gave them cover by saying stealing is not corruption?


That's an horrible human being and there's nothing compassionate about him.

LoJ:

You people should not exagerate. Jonathan was better than Buhari, but how can you people reduce the whole of nigeria to that leader? He had many flaws. Nigeria is capable of much more than that please.

MossLuv:
merry Xmas the most humble and effective president Nigeria ever had. wish you a prosperous new year

BetaThings:


Jonathan is least in compassion
A leader would always have people telling him not to give in because his enemies are at work
But a compassionate leader will pause and ask himself the consequences of his adviser being wrong

They gave him a wrong call on Chibok girls that his enemies planned it
They gave him a wrong call on Oct 1 2010 bombing and he concocted text messages to link Dokpesi with it
and on the Immigration recruitment deaths, he did nothing

And of the three, Jonathan in the only civilian!

Sir, where is the compassion
