Goodluck Jonathan Need To Answer This Questions

GEJ need to explain to Nigerians how he managed to pay fuel subsidy and yet sold fuel at N86 per liter.

Very easy..oil was at $91-130 during his regime...MEANING...more revenue...more money to pay subsides, and to subsidise fuel that low.

Besides, paying the subsidy was problematic...in two ways

1.It ate up a lot of our forex savings...and left a lot of unpaid claims which took Buhari till 2018 to finally pay off
2.It also made no impact...by 2013, most parts of the country were paying above N100 for fuel.(exept at NNPC stations and major marketers...which meant queuing for hours before you got fuel. I used to queue at an NNPC station for 9 hours back in 2014 to buy fuel at N97. Meanhwile at independent marketers on the outskirts of the same city, fuel cost N100-N130...NO QUEUE)
3.NNPC was making no profit and thus no money to fix or upgrade refinereis.

Now Bubu has had oil prices below $80 since 2015...so either prices for fuel go up...or he takes a heavy loan to pay more subsides...or he raise taxes.
seriously, subsides are a drain on the economy. Remember GEJ wanted to remove them , and he had good reasons to do so.

Let's not forget the cops that were deployed to raid APC HQ, and the cops that fired teargass in the National Assembly, among other things....

GEJ needs to explain to Nigerians how he managed to handle our group protests and yearnings without calling us terrorists
Maybe not him, but his supporters routinely labelled everyone who opposed them...terrorists....espeically on this site. There is a reason why large areas of the North voted for Buhari....

High oil prices=high forex levels=high value of the naira=lower prices for everything.

Plus before GEJ, that bag of rice used to cost less than N5000.

GEJ need to explain to Nigerians how he managed to build 17 federal universities in 17 states in Nigeria.

Buhari IS also building universities up and down...at the expense of our very limited educaiton budget...and at the end of the day, the schools don't get properly funded.(Most of the new universites are poorly funded and a mess.)

GEJ need to explain to Nigerians how he managed to build almajiri schools in all the Norther Local governments.

High oil prices=high revenue.

GEJ need to explain to Nigerians how he managed to hold $1=#165 for 4yrs

High oil prices=higher value of the naira. Besides, naira was falling to N216 by the end of his regime. Falling oil prices.

GEJ need to Explain to Nigerians how he managed to push Nigeria's economy to be number 1 in Africa.

High oil prices=high forex revenues. We were no 1too between 1973-82, when oil was so high, that Arabs were doing weekly shopping in the UK.

Every oil producing country has periods of boom and bust.Between 1982-2006, we were in prolonged recession due to low oil prices.

GEJ need to explain to Nigerians how he fought Ebola without closing Schools, Banks, Courts, Mosques Churches and banning weddings/gatherings... And without foreign intervention..

Ebola is an old disease. By the time it came to Nigeria, there was over 40 years worth of knowledge on how to deal with it without closing down schools and churches, and mosques, etc. Plus., it affected about 200 people max, of whom a minority came down with the disease.

Covid is a new disease, we don't even know how it works, or why some people die, and some live, and it spreads by aerosol. (Ebola does not; you have to be in very close contact with an ebola patient before you come down with it.)

Far more people have died of covid in this country, than of ebola.

Then during the covid crisis, oil crashed to $24 per barrel...meaning our revenue was basically non-existent for most of that time. Either we took loans again, or government taxed everyone half their salaries.

And we got foreign help. A team of Ugandan experts visited our country to give us some much needed expertise. (Uganda has decades of knowledge and experience in the field.)
GEJ, we need answers.

Answer given

And before you start....Buhari needs to answer why he has not diversified our economy, and why banditry is rampant across the country, and why we have no answer to the perineal herdsmen crisis.

APC and PDP should be voted out of power.

With the right economic team, you will break barriers. It's simple logic.

When the economy is good, crime rate reduces. But when the economy is not properly managed and it's bad, the security situation worsens and that's evident in Nigeria today.
